Chapter 368 Crossing the River
The entire military camp was moving, and the soldiers who had fallen asleep since the evening were awakened and began to sort out their weapons and armor. In the logistics and supplies camp, Xue Zhenzhu shouted to let the Huotou soldiers make meals and prepare dry food.
"Boss, can't we..."
Xue Zhenzhu's troops had a complex source of troops, including Tiel, Turk, Dangxiang, Shatu, Tuyuhun, all of them were captured, and they were all conquered by Xue Zhenzhu with virtue. They were all honest and diligent, without any scheming.
Of course, their lives are much more comfortable than when they were horse thieves or robbers in the past. Except for not having women, they eat well and drink well. Even if they work hard, everyone has gained a few pounds.
However, these grassland men were unwilling to live like this after all. They were able to make achievements on the battlefield and become the masters’ masters’ masters’ most important wish.
"Where is the turn of the Lord's troops, the horses under the Lord's command, we will stay honestly for you. We will take good care of the baggage camp for the Lord. It will be a great achievement. At that time, I will ask the Lord to ask you for your future."
Xue Zhenzhu knew very well that fortresses like Lianyun Castle that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, if they really climb and attack, they would be lifeless. If they faced Tubo cavalry on the plains, they would still be sure.
"That's right. If you look forward to a certain baggage camp, it will be a great achievement."
"Welcome to the Lord."
Hearing Shen Guang's voice, Xue Zhenzhu quickly turned around and saw that her lord entered the baggage camp surrounded by the fang soldiers.
"Xue Dalang, you are doing a good job. When the team returns to the court, I will protect you as a serious lieutenant."
"Thank you, Lord."
When Xue Zhenzhu was overjoyed, regardless of the rules set by Shen Guang, she fell to the ground and shouted. At this time, the subordinates behind him were all lit up their eyes.
"Okay, get up quickly, within half an hour? Be sure to prepare food and dry food for the army? If you miss the time..."
"I can't make mistakes, I can't make mistakes? Don't worry, Lord, right? Why are you just standing there? Why don't you go to work quickly?"
Xue Zhenzhu immediately started to scold after getting up? Then the entire baggage camp became busy again, and Shen Guang didn't stay for too long? With He Dali and the scouts of the Pamir guards and the Pamir guards as guides, it was not so dangerous to march at night.
...
Half an hour later, after receiving the dry food, the Saiye Army, who had eaten and drunk enough, set out according to their own teams. The long dragon-like torches illuminated the mountains ahead? As the scouts of the Pamirs led by Cui Qi, led the way, followed closely behind.
Although the distance between thirty miles is all mountain roads, it only takes more than half an hour without considering the preservation of horse physical strength.
Until it was almost approaching the river bank of the Polechuan, the Sailing Ye Army put out the torches in the adjacent dense forest? Then they wrapped the horse's hooves with thick cloth and put them in a zip.
When Shen Guang rode his horse to the surface of the Pole River, the river water only exceeded the horse's hooves, which proved that what He Dali and the others said was true? In the past few days, the river water in the Pole River has become shallow and there is no need to swim across the river.
"Cross the river."
With a low shout, Cui Qi led the foreign troops to cross the river first? Until the middle of the river, the water surface was barely wearing his boots, which made Cui Qi overjoyed. He could already see the blurry shadow of the castle on the hills on the other side. Originally, the river water should have been a natural barrier for Lianyun Castle.
If the river water surges and they are discovered when crossing the river, the bandits will take advantage of their half-crossing to attack it, and this battle will be difficult, but now God is really helping them.
After Cui Qi led his troops across the river, Chen Guang urged the troops behind to follow quickly. In addition to being surprised by the fortresses like Lianyun Castle, they also had to attack in one go, and they would never give the defenders a chance to breathe.
Half an hour later, more than 3,000 soldiers all crossed the Pole River. At this time, at least one hour was still left before the dawn sunrise. Chen Guang smiled and said, "He had already won half of this battle."
“Tread in place.”
Chen Guang did not rush to advance, but asked the soldiers to sit down and eat and drink, and recover their strength.
When he arrived at the Pioneer Camp where Cui Qi was located, Chen Guang looked at the selected 300 soldiers and asked Anxi Shaochun, who had sent him to the great altar, to fill the scouts of the Pamir Army where He Dali was.
"Everyone, I'll toast everyone. When you go to Lianyun Castle, you will definitely succeed."
Under the faint starlight, Chen Guang raised his glass to the foreign troops and the Pamirs who served as the first to climb the dead, saying in a deep voice, "If you capture Lianyun Fort, you will definitely receive a reward."
"Thank you for the wine of the general."
Cui Qi took the lead in responding, then raised a cup with his soldiers and drank the soju wine in the cup. The chest seemed to be burning with fire, and the blood in his body couldn't help but boil.
Chen Guang raised his head at this time, feeling a chill on his face, and then he became stunned. In the dark night, the originally faint starlight had disappeared, and the shadows of dark black clouds covered the sky. The raindrops as big as soybeans fell down with the lightning light rising in the sky.
But in an instant, heavy rain poured down. In the rain, Chen Guang roared at the people in front of him with all his might, "Everyone, if this heavy rain was half earlier, we would have been blocked in the Pole River. Now we have just fallen after crossing the river. The rain is so heavy that the bandits are even more unaware of our surprise attack, which shows that the destiny is in my Tang Dynasty."
"Cui Qi, set off and climb the city first."
"The last general takes the order."
In the heavy rain, Cui Qi roared angrily and called on his selected soldiers to turn over and run wildly towards the blurry rain curtain ahead.
The rumbling thunder in the sky overshadowed the sound of trampling horse hooves. When Cui Qi led the foreign troops to set off, Chen Guang did not stop for a long time, and he raised his army and followed closely.
Li Siye laughed wildly in the lightning and thunder. In such heavy rain, everyone's bows and arrows could not be used. Moreover, the Tubo traitors would never have expected them to attack on this rainy night. At that time, as long as Cui Qi led the Fan troops to climb up the hillside and set up a rope ladder for his Modao Army, they would be able to climb up the wall and win this battle.
"Chen Lang, God wants us to do this!"
"Brother Li, don't wave the knife. Now is not the time to have fun."
The sudden lightning light made Chen Guang see Li Siye holding the Mo Dao beside him shouting strangely, and quickly shouted, although the rolling thunder was far away in the sky, who knew what if the lightning struck!
At this time, the thunder sounded, and the proud Li Siye couldn't help but shrink his head, not daring to wave his thick and long sword, but just placed it next to the saddle and rode his horse forward desperately.
In just a short moment, the ground was already muddy. Cui Qi had already led the foreign troops to dismount and walk. The cold rain water seeped into the armor, but everyone was extremely excited. Anxi Shaochun, who had poured a wine pot before departure, swallowed it from his throat as if he was not paid. Looking at the towering hills ahead, they were restless all over their bodies.
"superior."
