The female swordsmen were excellent at lightness, and within a moment they had all arrived on the other side of the river. They dug small holes in the embankment and buried the explosives inside.
Then, we used the same method to "walk the monofilament" back to the other side, but we walked uphill when we came back, which was obviously not as easy as going downhill.
When people walk on monofilament, there is a fast-flowing river under their feet. If they make a slight mistake, they will be doomed. This makes people on the other side of the river horrified.
Less than half an hour later, the sound of fighting stopped abruptly, the frontal feint attack was over, and all the explosives on the river embankment had been placed. Nangong Yue stayed at the end to be the one who lit the fire.
The rain was very heavy. Even if the rain was blocked with an umbrella, the splashing water drops wetted the lead wire. Nangong Yue tried several times with fire breakers, and several sections of the lead wire were cut off...
Finally, "Zizzizi..." A wisp of gunpowder smoke curled up. Nangong Yue turned around and jumped onto the monofilament, opened her arms to maintain balance, and strode towards the other side of the river.
Behind you is gunpowder that can explode at any time, and under your feet is the raging river. If you are not an ordinary brave and responsible person, you really don't dare to stay at the end.
Nangong Yue was meticulous. She was also nervous, she was also scared, and she also wanted to get to the other side quickly. She looked back from time to time, first to confirm that the fuse was burning, and secondly to check how long it would take to explode.
However, at this moment, several cavalrymen suddenly came galloping from the direction of Chitong City, and they were heard shouting:
"Who is smuggling here!"
The sudden voice frightened Nangong Yue, causing her body to tremble and her feet to slip. She was completely unbalanced at the level that was already difficult to maintain. She fell diagonally from the rope, but fortunately she reacted quickly and stood alone the moment she fell. Hands grasped the rope.
"Song Che..." she shouted in fear.
Song Che's heart almost rose to his throat, and he shouted to Nangong Yue with a loud voice: "Don't be afraid, they are still far away, come over little by little!"
Nangong Yue gritted her teeth, held the rope tightly with both hands, and swung forward bit by bit.
"Stop it!"
"Shoot them!"
The enemy cavalry took out their crossbows and fired arrows across the river.
"Sister Yue, be careful!"
A crossbow arrow passed by Nangong Yue's ear, and she exclaimed. One arm was hanging on the rope. At this time, the cavalry had arrived at the river bank, and the lead wire on the bank had been burned out——
"Boom!"
There was a loud noise, and mud and rocks flew across the river in an instant, causing the river embankment to open up. At the same time, the rope was broken.
Nangong Yue opened her eyes wide and fell straight into Lianghe.
Without thinking, Song Che grabbed the rope and wrapped it around his waist. He told the women: "Hold me tight!" Then he jumped down the hill and rushed towards Nangong Yue.
"Song Che! Song Che..."
Nangong Yue kept paddling with her hands, but the impact of the water flow was too great. She was like a flower falling in the water and could only drift with the current.
Song Che only felt that his whole body was full of strength. This woman had worked hard and without complaint along the way. Losing her would be the biggest regret in his life!
He tried his best to slide towards Nangong Yue, "Grab me, grip me..." He and she were so close that they both stretched their arms to the maximum.
Song Che gathered all his strength and rushed towards Nangong Yue like a fish leaping through a dragon's gate, and finally hugged her firmly into his arms, "I've got you, I've got you..."
"pull!"
The girls used their strength at the same time to pull the two to the river. Lu Jingxiang also tied a rope and slid down the slope, dragging Song Che and Nangong Yue up the river bank.
The two people who escaped from death in the water were exhausted at this moment.
"Crash..." Looking at the embankment on the opposite side, it was opened wider and wider by the current. The flood was like a wild beast emerging from its cage, rushing toward the lower Chitong City.
Although there were dangers, fortunately the task was completed. Everyone got on their horses and quickly left the river bank.
The flood spread faster than expected, almost as fast as a fast horse, and its volume of water was obviously more surging than expected. It rushed to the foot of Chitong City in just a moment.
Song Che and others ran along the river bank for twenty miles in one breath and caught up with the large retreating troops on the other side of the river. By this time, the flood had been diluted by the vast grassland and they were all safe.
After returning from the original route, Song Che followed the previous plan and occupied a point on a high ground in the northeast. Once the large troops evacuated here, they could set up camp directly.
Liang Jun set up camp again, and the next step was to wait for the rain to stop.
On February 19, the third day after Lianghe was bombed, the rain finally stopped.
After being washed by heavy rain, the sky and earth revealed a fresh fragrance. The clear sky above our heads was cloudless, but in front of us was a hazy ocean.
On February 21st, the flood gradually receded, and the army broke out of camp and marched towards Chitong City.
In the past few days of the flood, Song Che had been paying attention to the movements of Chitong City. As early as when the dike was blown open, all the soldiers and civilians of Chitong fled the city in a hurry.
Where did they flee? How many people died from waterlogging? Nothing is known. But it is certain that after this flood, it will be difficult for the enemy to recover in a short period of time.
Liang Jun entered Chitong City easily.
The streets and alleys of cities soaked by floods are in a mess. Hu people's cities are far from having sophisticated sewers like Liang people. The accumulated water can only be discharged through manpower and ditches.
It will take a lot of effort to repair Chitong City, but fortunately, the destructive power of the flood is not strong, and the buildings are almost intact. Some residents who had no time to escape hid on the second floor, and they all After a search, it was found that there were 40,000 to 50,000 people.
Chitong City is a city of barbarians, so it is reasonable for barbarians to clean their homes.
The first night in town.
Song Che gathered all the generals together to formulate the next battle plan.
"Military advisor, your sand table... is so strange? Why is there a wooden sign with my name engraved on it?"
The generals were talking about the sand table they had never seen before.
Song Che pointed at the sand table and said with a smile: "Actually, our war is like a 'tower defense game'. It is divided into three groups: upper, middle and lower. The city to be captured is the 'defense tower', and the generals are the 'heroes' ;
You see, the 'Chitong City' we occupy today is a tower. By controlling it, we can expand the advantage of the middle road and contain the other two roads;
Now the upper and lower roads are in a stalemate. The Hexi Corridor of the lower road has dangerous mountains and rivers, so don't worry about it for the time being, just let them continue to contain Hu Jun;
The top road is also a prairie, and we are on the same front - so the question is, let me test the generals, how can we use the advantages we have established to help the top road? "
Shi Tao was the first to stand up and said: "Detach a light cavalry group, go north from Chitong, rush to the aid of Generals Long and Zhao, and surround the enemy with them!"
"good!"
Song Che clapped his hands and said: "This is called the 'wandering tactic' - since General Shi answered correctly, then you will get the military glory this time."
He took a command arrow, threw it to Shi Tao and said: "The general will lead fifteen thousand rangers, bring hot air balloons and kerosene, and set off from Chitong. Pegasus can reach the stalemate point on the upper road in three days;
Our position is further ahead than the enemy troops on the road. The grassland air current blows from west to east, which can be used for bombing with hot air balloons;
After the reinforcements hit the road and win, don't delay too much and come back immediately to 'defend the tower' to regain your life! "
"The last general takes command!"
Shi Tao solemnly took the order arrow.
Song Che slowly pushed the hero card engraved with Shi Tao's name onto the road.
The battlefield is like a chess game, and everyone is a pawn.
