The Lianghe River is a tributary of the Yellow River. It originates from the Mongolian Plateau and winds its way from west to east. This place is just upstream of the Lianghe River. When it was frozen, it used to feel very gentle, but after several days of heavy rain, it looked like a Lancang River. The beast is surging.
Song Che stood at the river bank, caught in the heavy rain, holding a telescope and looking upstream of the Liang River.
"Tsk tsk... You knew there were two people, but you refused to bring an extra umbrella. Sigh... You really don't understand the ways of the world." Jiang Yuntian wiped the water stains on his face and looked at Ning Ye, who was holding an umbrella for Song Che. Hong shook his head.
Ning Yehong hummed: "You are not my husband."
Jiang Yuntian pouted: "You forgot that I saved your life during the night attack on Majiazhuang in Taizhou."
Ning Yehong thought for a while and smiled sweetly: "I did forget."
"Oh, it's a pity, it's a pity..." Jiang Yuntian sighed softly.
Ning Yehong asked: "What's the pity?"
Jiang Yuntian said: "I originally wanted to have a baby date with Lian'er after my son is born, but now it seems that I'm afraid it won't work. It won't work anymore..."
"Lian'er doesn't want to marry your son."
"Don't marry? Your future father-in-law, I am a first-class duke and the current son-in-law of the country. My mother-in-law is a golden person. Besides my son, who else in the world can be a good match for your daughter?"
"Then... get married!"
Ning Yehong smiled and pushed Song Che: "Just like him, be a door-to-door son-in-law."
Song Che said softly: "There is a saying called 'things must turn against each other'. I think that the emperor sitting in Jinling City always said that he would have a son, but it turned out to be a daughter. The one in the princess's belly was probably about the same. "
"It's my son."
"It's my daughter."
"It's my son! My son! A son who is as tall and powerful as me!"
"It's a daughter, it's a daughter, as tender and affectionate as her mother!"
"Oh, please stop arguing. If we are a son, we will marry Lian'er, and if we are a daughter, we will marry Qi'er. Anyway, I have twins."
Her wishful thinking was the best.
After the joke.
"Hong'er, you go back first, I have a military plane to talk to the general." Song Che put away the telescope and ordered softly.
"Give you the umbrella?" Ning Yehong handed the umbrella over.
Song Che shook his head and said with a smile: "If you get exposed to the rain, your mind will be clearer."
Ning Yehong squeezed her lips and left the river bank holding an umbrella.
"Why drive her away? I'm not a stranger." Jiang Yuntian asked.
Song Che smiled and said: "General Jiang is very generous in allowing these women to join the camp."
Jiang Yuntian said: "You mentioned this matter, and I really want to share some feedback with you. These gentlemen behind you are so exquisite that many soldiers thought they had the habit of cutting off their sleeves."
"So a woman who is too beautiful, even if she disguises herself as a man, will bring harm to one party, right?" Song Che pointed to Chitong City floating in the mist and rain with a smile and said, "After I take over this city, I will resettle them. This is to avoid disturbing the morale of the army.”
"What's your idea?"
"Water attack."
Song Che pointed to the endlessly flowing Liang River and said: "Less than ten miles to the left of Chitong City is the Liang River and the hills. The river bed there is much higher than here. Once the dam is blown up, the water will rush into Chitong City. Not to mention how many people drowned in the entire city, at least a large area of it was flooded."
Jiang Yuntian pursed his lips and said, "Water is no more controllable than fire. Once the Liang River bursts its banks, no one can guarantee where it will flow. What should we do if we injure the enemy a thousand times and injure ourselves eight hundred?"
Song Che shook his head and said, "Don't worry about this. No matter how fast the Lianghe River flows, it can't compare to the Yellow River. The grassland is so vast that it can't flood it very far. After we blow up the dike, we can move the camp to the northeast." More than twenty miles away, the terrain in the northeast is quite high and water should not be able to cover it."
Jiang Yuntian said: "What we can think of, the enemy should also be able to think of. They will definitely not let us get close easily."
"So we have to give them a 'make a false impression on the east and attack the west' first," Song Che said: "Tomorrow you will lead the troops in person, take these prisoners with you, pretend to attack Chitong from the front, divert their attention, and then I will lead the people With explosives, first cross to the other side of the river, then sneak into the hilly area, and then cross the river back to the right bank. You can avoid the barbarians by taking a roundabout way; you don't need too many people to blow up the dam, just use my female swordsmen. .”
"Woman? Is that okay?"
"They are all well-trained, have excellent martial arts skills, and they happen to be petite. No one is more suitable than them. This is why I brought them to the military camp. Who said women are inferior to men?"
"Okay! According to this plan, let's flood Chitong City tomorrow!"
…
After returning, Song Che began to make preparations. He wrapped the gunpowder with three layers of oil cloth and three layers outside. Each person carried ten kilograms and divided it among ten people to carry it, which was one hundred kilograms. This amount was enough to blow up a low hill.
The embankment does not need to be opened too wide, as the rapid current will naturally make it bigger and bigger.
At midnight, Song Che took Nangong Yue and ten other female swordsmen and rode fast horses towards Wengcheng. There was an iron cable pontoon bridge built when crossing the river there. It would be safer to cross the river from there.
When the night was ugly, the group successfully crossed the Liang River, and then walked along the river bank to go to Chitong City.
At midnight, we arrived on the other side of the Daying River.
Song Che lit a small torch and waved it across the river, indicating that it was time to march.
The dim light in the early morning is the best cover. Coupled with the hazy rain and fog, it will be difficult for the enemy to detect it.
The army marched towards Chitong City in mighty force, while Song Che and the others slowed down, almost keeping pace with the army.
Half an hour later, at dawn, the army arrived at the foot of Chitong City. Song Che and the others also abandoned their horses and began to climb the hills on foot.
When they climbed up the hill, the sound of fighting was heard from the direction of Chitong, and the siege began.
Song Che chose the narrowest river channel, which was about thirty paces long, which could fully meet the range of the crossbow.
He aimed at the other side of the river, fired the Flying Tiger Claw several times, and finally latched onto the river embankment for the fourth time, then straightened the rope, turning it into a high-speed zipline.
"Let me teach you, first wrap a stick around the rope, then grab the stick with both hands and slide down with the help of the downward momentum. You can easily slide to the other side of the river."
Song Che used professional modern knowledge to explain to them how to rappel.
"Why do you need so much trouble?"
Lu Jingxiang took the lead, jumped slightly, put her toes on the rope, and then relied on the elasticity of the rope, like a dragonfly touching water, and successfully reached the other side of the river in just seven or eight steps.
Well, modern knowledge is not as good as ancient Qinggong!
