Chapter 682: Rolling Dragon Gorge

'Steady Sima' is the secret title of Jin Jue behind him.

It's not for nothing that there is this title, but Jin Jue has a mantra, which is "it's better to be steady, or to be steady".

Although he was ridiculed for this, Jin Jue still sought stability in everything and rarely ventured, and the same was true for marching and fighting.

Outsiders ridicule outsiders, but Jin Jue can climb to today's position because of the word "stability".

Although he was defeated by Meng Shanming several times in his early years, Korea was the least damaged in his hands, unlike the governor of Zhao who died at the hands of Meng Shanming, and the Song State was defeated again and again at the hands of Meng Shanming.

For Meng Shanming, among the generals he has fought against, Jin Jue is the most headache for him, Jin Jue believes in steady and steady, step by step, not aggressive, not risky, and believes in winning by strength.

Jin Jue is like a difficult bone to Meng Shanming. Meng Shanming's legs were crippled, which was fallen during the fight with South Korea, and the commander of the Korean army that time was Jin Jue, to some extent, Meng Shanming's legs fell from the disability of Jin Jue.

Of course, that battle was also because he was eager to relieve the siege for Emperor Yan, otherwise Meng Shanming would not have ended up like this.

is so stable that people laugh at it, but it is the accumulated combat achievements that have gradually climbed up to today, and he has disabled Meng Shanming, so this big Sima is sitting very firmly in his position.

......

It was getting dark, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier.

On a rainy night, a group of generals wearing battle armor and hats went out to patrol and arrived under the eaves of the courtyard, where soldiers came quickly to help the generals undress their cloaks.

"What the hell is the weather. "Someone cursed God.

The crowd stomped their feet and stomped off the mud on their feet, and they didn't put their boots on.

Wu Qunlie, the governor of Jiangfang, took the lead in taking off his boots, and the others had to take off their boots and enter.

The lantern lights swaying under the eaves illuminate the three big characters on the lintel plaque: Zhenjiang Hall!

The hall is full of all kinds of maps, large and small, and this is the important place of the Jiangfang military aircraft, and ordinary people are not qualified to enter.

A group of old people who took off their shoes entered, and the smell of salted fish suddenly churned in the hall, and someone covered their noses and cursed: "Lao Chen, how long have you not washed your feet? ”

The old Chen immediately scolded back, "Do you think your feet smell good? As soon as the Yan army arrived at the riverside, the governor of the capital was like urging orders, and he didn't know how many times a day he went back and forth, and he couldn't even sleep, so where did he get the time to wash his feet? ”

"It seems that Lao Chen doesn't wash his feet without the ladies to serve him!" Wu Qunlie, the governor of Jiangfang, also hugged his feet and sniffed it after sitting down on the upper seat.

Everyone laughed, it was all a joke, from the military, they were used to this kind of taste, and no one really cared.

Wu Qunlie, who put down his feet, pointed at the old Chen and said: "Use your life well, when the Metropolitan Governor defeats the Yan Kingdom, I will reward you with ten or eight Yan Country beauties, and I will serve you to wash your feet every day." ”

"Eh!" Lao Chen waved his hand, "Ten or eight beauties are exempt, I heard that there are many beautiful concubines in the palace of Yan Kingdom, reward me with a concubine of Shang Jianxiong, let me taste the taste." ”

"Get out of you, Shang Jianxiong's concubine turn to get you?"

A crowd of people immediately began to curse.

Bang! Wu Qunlie stopped the uproar of everyone, "Listen up, as long as everyone can block Meng Shanming's attack, I will call the shots for everyone, I don't know if I can promise it from above, but I will definitely mention it, ask for credit for everyone present, ask for a concubine of Shang Jianxiong for each of you, anyway, Shang Jianxiong has many concubines, and I don't care about everyone, and the leftovers will be rewarded to our head office, right? Of course, the premise is that we must hold the river defense and not let the Yan army attack our Great Song Dynasty!" If Jiang Fang really fails, let alone Shang Jianxiong's concubine, let's weigh their heads first, and whether they can keep their wives and concubines from being occupied by others!"

The old Chen said: "The Metropolitan Governor is too worried, after our army invaded the Yan Kingdom, the boats on the opposite side of the river were either destroyed or dragged here, and there are so many people and horses on the other side, how can they cross the river without boats? Crossing the river by wooden rafts is a joke, a living arrow target!"

Everyone also promised again and again that they would never let the Yan army break through the river defenses and the like.

Wu Qunlie signaled everyone not to be careless, and then gathered everyone to get up and discuss around the Jiangfang map, brainstorming, and asking everyone to consider where there may be loopholes.

After the discussion, when the generals retreated, Wu Qunlie warned again, "Don't be afraid of the other party's open attack, what the metropolitan governor is afraid of is Meng Shanming's sneak attack, especially at night, you must be more cautious, after everyone goes back, all areas must be closely inspected, and the enemy must not be given an opportunity." ”

A general smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, I really have to worry about it, this is windy and rainy, the river is turbulent and soaring, it is not suitable for the army to cross the river at all, and it is almost the same as choosing to sneak attack at this time, Meng Shanming has a problem with his head." ”

"Yes, on this stormy and rainy night, I can't see my fingers, I can't go far with a lantern, and my patrol is also in vain. ”

Hearing everyone's discussion, Wu Qunlie also agreed in his heart, but he still warned with a straight face, "The more impossible it is to sneak attack, the more likely it is, it is inconvenient for the sergeant to patrol, so let the monk regularly patrol the river." ”

"Your Excellency is very true!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, as long as there are monks patrolling the river, if there is an enemy attack, it is natural that they can't hide it here, after all, the enemy army can't send some scattered people to sneak attack, and it is also a large-scale attack on a large scale, and a monk patrolling the river can find out.

......

Somewhere across the river in the barracks, a tent was shining with butterflies, and Gong Lince stood at the door of the tent with his hands in his hands, staring at the rainy night with a lot of thoughts in his eyes.

The Yan Kingdom has reached the point where it endangers the survival of the Zijin Cave, once the Yan Kingdom is destroyed, the Zijin Cave will become a lost dog, and the dignified and ethereal pavilion faction actually walked to the edge of capsizing in his hands, how can he not feel a lot of emotion.

Outside the tent, muddy water flowed from a drainage ditch dug around the tent.

Gong Lince's gaze looked at the Chinese military tent diagonally opposite, and there was light seeping out of it.

When the Yan Kingdom was in danger of life and death, the three major factions had no other way, and he personally sat here, and he also pinned his hopes on the old man in the tent.

"Alas!" Gong Lince sighed in the sky, hoping that the old handsome would not disappoint the three major factions.

The heads of the three major factions have been seated in various places, he is in charge here, Long Xiu has gone to Beizhou to sit in the town, and Meng Xuan is still in the capital.

Outside, the wind and rain were heavy, the wind and rain were coming, and the melancholy Gong Lince had mana to protect his body, and the rain was difficult to get close to him.

The tent of the Chinese army suddenly showed a bright light, which attracted his attention, the curtain of the tent opened, and he saw someone enter the tent of the Chinese army.

It was Zhang Hu, Zhang Hu, who came in the mud and rain, entered the Chinese military tent, and took off his hat and gave it to the sergeant.

A few oil lamps in the tent were dim, and Meng Shanming, who was tired and bloodshot in his eyes, still wondered about something on the map.

Zhang Hu reported closely, "Dashuai, there is news from there, the river has indeed skyrocketed, but the water level at the target location is still one and a half feet high offshore. ”

Luo Da'an, who was leaning on the chair and napping, immediately shook his head when he heard the sound and woke up.

Meng Shanming didn't take his eyes off the map, only said lightly, "One report in half an hour!"

"Yes. Zhang Hu should go down.

Half an hour later, the herald arrived and whispered to Zhang Hu.

Zhang Hufu stepped forward and reported again: "Ten feet!"

Meng Shanming nodded, but did not say anything.

Half an hour later, Zhang Hu reported again: "Seven feet!"

Half an hour later, Zhang Hu reported again: "Five feet!"

It wasn't until Zhang Hu reported the "three feet" that Meng Shanming, who was already recuperating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened a pair of bloodshot eyes and said in a deep voice: "Act according to the plan!"

Zhang Hu's cheeks were tense, his head was lowered, and he didn't receive the order for a long time.

Meng Shanming tilted his head slightly to look at him and asked, "Do you want to disobey?"

"The last general didn't dare to disobey the order, but..."Zhang Hu shook his head with a painful face, "At this time, forcibly crossing the Rolling Dragon Gorge is really... It's so hard, those are brothers who have followed me for many years, and many of them don't know water at all. Isn't there any other way, Dashuai?"

"Difficult?" Meng Shanming questioned, and then bowed his head slightly: "It is indeed difficult, the living can say that it is difficult, who will the dead talk to? Qiu Mazi, do you remember? Died fighting to help you! There are also Wei Dahong, and many people you are familiar with, do you want to tell them that it is difficult to go to those who died fighting to defend Dayan? Dayan has reached today, and there must be people who dare to die to stand up! It is precisely because of the difficulty that I used your guards, I believe they can do it, and you must also have confidence in them, go, carry it out!"

"Obey!" Zhang Hu's cheeks trembled and he took the order with difficulty, took a few steps back, and quickly turned his head away, even the clothes and hats were useless, and he came out of the big tent in the rain.

Rolling Dragon Gorge!

The Dongyu River basin is the most precipitous area, and the cliffs on both sides of the river are usually two feet high from the water surface.

Because the river basin narrows abruptly in this place, the water flow here is usually turbulent, like a churning dragon, so it gets the name of Rolling Dragon Gorge.

At this time, the river water swelled, and the rainwater washed down from the upstream was narrowed in this area, and the water swelled even more violently, and the water flow became more and more turbulent, which can be described as roaring.

Normally, it is difficult for people to cross this place, but now it is even more difficult when the rain is pouring and the water is crazy.

Therefore, the regional army could not cross, and it was a natural barrier, so it was a place where the Song army was a grain store thirty miles away.

To some extent, this place is also the weakest place for the defense of the army, and the border between the two countries is long, and it is impossible to have a heavy army in all areas along the river, so no amount of troops will be enough.

In the sound of the torrential rain, there was a faint sound of fighting on the side of the Song Kingdom, and after the movement subsided, more than a dozen monks leaped from the opposite bank and met with the two generals who were emerging from this side.

"How's that?" asked the first general anxiously.

A monk replied: "The heavy rain helps, the defense on the opposite side is slack, a few monks actually get together to hide from the rain and drink, we are a nest, the rain is heavy, the sound of the hand should be covered, it is better to choose the time to do it." ”

The general asked, "What about the others?"

The monk replied: "I am exploring the way for the army, and according to the captors, there are monks along the river who patrol from time to time, so I have to be careful." It's just thisβ€”" He looked back at the roaring rage behind him, "Can you get by?"

"I've already made a military order, so I can't control it so much. The other general threw down his words and ran back in the dark.

Not long after, there was the sound of hurried footsteps, and a large number of hidden men and horses came running in the rain, each carrying a log on their shoulders.

Needless to say, an order was given, "Jump!"

The first sergeants with the log in their arms jumped down and were swallowed up by the roaring and tumbling water.
