Chapter 39 Tiger Leaping Gorge, Stormy Seas!-Thank You Sanshengyuan Yifan
But once Zhang Xutuo, who was in charge of the main force of the Sui Dynasty, was defeated by Li Mi, and then Luokoucang and the canal fell into Li Mi's hands, the Sui Dynasty was completely overwhelmed.
However, if not, how could the Yuwen Valve have a chance to make a comeback?
Du Yu thought for a moment, ignored Zhang Xutuo's affairs and ordered the ship to continue.
"After passing the Tiger Leaping Gorge ahead, I went straight to Luoyang." Yuwen Wudi said.
"Tiger Leaping Gorge?" Du Yu checked on the map, observed the terrain again, and took a breath of air conditioning.
This Tiger Leaping Gorge is the last dangerous pass for the canal to enter Luoyang.
Du Yu was absolutely unbelievable. He snatched the Li family's account book evidence and snatched the Li family's 3,000 sets of weapons. Li Shimin would swallow this and return to Taiyuan in shame. Waiting for Du Yu to report the imperial examination, he would kill him.
He will definitely mobilize all his strength to prevent himself from meeting the foolish emperor.
This tiger jumps into the gorge is the last pass.
If you break through, you will be successful and your plan will be successful.
If you can't get through, you will naturally be destroyed by boats and people will die, and you will die in the sand.
"How many soldiers do we have?" Du Yu asked Yuwen Wudi.
Yuwen Wudi pondered: "We have suffered a lot of losses after the battle in Pengcheng. There are still 9,000 soldiers who can fight. There are 11 Five-Toothed Ships, and about 20 warships that Peng Liang will seize."
Du Yu ordered decisively: "So this is like this."
A huge fleet slowly sailed into the Tiger Leaping Gorge.
This Tiger Leaping Gorge is a dangerous pass, with the narrowest point being only five feet wide, and a towering mountain peak with a wall of thousands of feet above it, overlooking the entire river.
As long as someone occupy the top of the mountain and throws it with huge rocks, he can easily control the river and attack the fleet.
This fleet of 11 five-toothed ships, with the flag of the Yuwen Valve, is highly alert, with swords and guns, and is as handsome as a golden armor. Obviously, the Yuwen Valve is very wary of passing through the Tiger Leaping Gorge.
At the top of the mountain, Li Shimin stood with his hands behind his back, looking proudly at the huge Yuwen Valve fleet.
Behind him were Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Li Jing. There was also a young beauty with outstanding appearance and gentle temperament. She was dressed in gorgeous clothes and elegant, and she was Li Shimin's sister Li Xiuning.
In front of Li Xiuning, Kou Zhong had no usual temperament of being humorous and humorous. He was like a Taoist scholar, and stood with his hands behind his back. He just had a pair of eyes, peeking at Li Xiuning from time to time.
Xu Ziling was secretly funny.
This Kou Zhong, who is determined to fight for dominance in the world, actually fell in love with Li Xiaozi's girl at a glance, which is really interesting.
But Li Xiuning only talked and laughed with a young talent beside him. The young man with extraordinary temperament and a little arrogant was her fiancé, Chai Shao, the famous descendant. No matter how Kou Zhong conveyed his feelings, he would always look at him to the blind man.
This made Kou Zhong very discouraged.
"This Yuwen Yu is indeed very wary of Tiger Leaping Gorge. Unfortunately, our preparations are more sufficient than he imagined. Do you think so? Kou Zhong?" Li Shimin turned around and asked calmly.
Kou Zhong was caught off guard: "Ah? That's that's that."
Chai Shao said disdainfully: "Brother Kou Zhong, Shimin is talking to you, so he should be more attentive and deal with this battle."
His eyes looked disdainful and glanced at Kou Zhong, obviously very despised and warned this poor boy who kept peeking at his fiancée.
Xu Ziling's eyes became cold.
No one can underestimate the two brothers.
Li Shimin coughed: "Chai Shao should not do this. Brothers Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling will have unlimited achievements in the future. They are standing in the same trenches as us at this time. In short, we must win this battle. Give that Yuwen Yu a lesson that will be unforgettable for life!"
He was full of righteousness, which made everyone admire him.
The beautiful noble lady Li Xiuning walked up to her brother slowly and gently tidied up the wrinkled clothes in the armor for him.
Chai Shao smiled bitterly. Li Xiuning's favorite thing was his brother Li Shimin.
He would not be jealous of Li Shimin. After all, he is a brother and sister, so there is no need to avoid suspicion.
But at an angle that no one could see, a trace of splendor suddenly flashed in Li Shimin's eyes at Li Xiuning who was close to him.
Especially at this time, the north was heavily influenced by Hu Feng, and the woman's clothes were bold and hot. Even Li Xiuning, who was not married, was generous and generous in a tulle dress outside, but was wearing a low-cut, deep-v silk long skirt inside, which squeezed the two ivory white and full jade rabbits tightly, revealing the charming deep groove of the virgin.
Li Xiuning, who was lowered by the Qiancheng head, knew that his brother was peeping at his chest, gently tidied it up, and whispered: "Second brother, you must be careful this time. I heard that Yuwen Yu was not only invincible in magical powers, but also in good commands, but also in the Dragon River Dragon to help the battle. Everyone said that he was the future true emperor."
Li Shimin laughed and pinched Li Xiuning's face with creamy skin: "What kind of divine dragon is he? Actually, it's just a rumor. Girl, don't worry. Brother will show you later, what is the real power of heaven?"
He smiled and hooked Li Xiuning's nose, as if everything was in his control, and he was in a position to command and distribute it.
Li Xiuning wrinkled Xiao Qiong's nose and snorted cutely: "Brother, just brag. I want to see, what is your so-called Tianwei?"
But even though he said that, Li Shimin's talent and strategy, let alone Chai Shao and Li Xiuning, even Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Li Jing, who worked together for the first time, admired his leadership temperament.
This fleet of 11 five-toothed ships was safe and sound, sailing all the way out of the Tiger Leaping Gorge, nothing happened.
Now, even Du Yu couldn't figure out what Li Shimin sold in the gourd?
On the five-toothed ship, there were even a pair of beautiful men sitting on the high seat led by the leader.
Du Yu and Shen Luoyan, the former military advisor of Li Mi, who was newly included in the room, hugged each other, ignoring the eyes of tens of thousands of soldiers, while flirting and drinking and having fun.
Seeing Shen Luoyan, the stunning beauty, falling into Yuwen Yu's arms, Li Shimin's tiger eyes showed a hint of regret. Then Du Yu's pride and briskness were unaware of it, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth that was sure to hold it. Then he waved his hand: "Start!"
Fortunately, the Yuwen Valve fleet sailing out of the Tiger Leaping Gorge was all relaxed, and even celebrated each other, discussing how to return to Luoyang and have fun.
In fact, as long as the natural danger of Tiger Leaping Gorge is broken through, even if the Li family army attacks, the Sui Dynasty navy, who has experienced many battles, will be unafraid.
What's more, the surrounding area is a hundred miles away. Although it is deserted due to the destruction of war, the Li family will not hide the eyes and ears of the people in the world. Doing that is no different from treason.
Therefore, everyone in the fleet believed that Li Jia retreated this time.
But the good times didn't last long. After driving for a mile, I suddenly realized that the bottom of the ship was constantly making crisp sounds.
An experienced sailor looked down and shouted in despair: "It's the wolf tooth thorn! The wolf tooth thorn!"
Wolf Tooth Thorn is a sharpened log that is placed at the bottom of the shallows of the river at 45 degrees. It is used to block the river channel and pierce the bottom of the incoming ship.
Hundreds of wolf teeth thorns were installed under this seemingly calm water surface.
What a huge project volume!
Those who can do this are the high-gate and large valves.
"It's still the same thing, Li's family is really uncreative." Yuwen Wudi said lazily: "Either block the river channel, or send out water ghosts, and catapults, and attack up and down. Can you have some new ideas?"
It seemed as if responding to his doubts. Suddenly, an unusual ripples came from the calm river surface!
"Why is the water level much lower?" A sergeant pointed to the river.
Many people feel that the surface of the Grand Canal suddenly lowered a lot, and the waterline of the boat suddenly dropped by several meters downward.
It seemed as if there was a dragon king. He suddenly sucked away all the water in one breath, and the river water suddenly fell down.
Suddenly, the "sinking geese" in Du Yu's arms pricked up his ears, listened quietly, and said to Du Yu: "Not good! Why did I hear the abnormal tide?"
This resonated a lot.
Du Yu also said: "Yes, but it sounds like a tide flowing backwards. But here is the Grand Canal, where does the tide come from?"
The two of them looked at each other and changed their qualities.
Du Yu then stood up and shouted: "Listen, everyone, abandon the ship! Abandon the ship!"
The reason why he is so decisive is that he has a solid understanding of various water characteristics in the pirates of the Caribbean.
At the same time, an indelible doubt arose in Du Yu's heart.
How can people of this era understand?
Many Sui Dynasty soldiers were at a loss for Du Yu's orders.
Well, why should I abandon the boat and escape? Wouldn't this give Li Jia a chance to capture himself alive without any effort?
But Du Yu's order is unquestionable.
The chaotic abandoned boat finally began.
Hundreds of Sui Dynasty soldiers jumped into the Grand Canal and swam to the other side without any chance.
Because there are forests on the south bank and the possibility of ambushing is high, Du Yu chose the direction of breaking through, which is in the north. There is a flat horse, and it is not easy to be ambushed.
The Sui army on the 11 Five-Toothed Ships dived and escaped, climbing onto the opposite shore wet.
Just as someone was slandering in his heart, the third young master was crazy, suddenly, a tremor of the sky and the earth cracked upstream!
It's like a galloping horse.
The soldiers of the Sui Dynasty finally changed their lust.
From the horizon in the west, a white line surged into the river!
This line quickly grows bigger and bigger!
It was actually a huge flood!
This huge tide, dozens of feet high, was like a yellow dragon that had just broken free from its shackles, roaring and striking in the river madly!
At this time, the Sui Dynasty canal was built for more than ten years. The solid river embankments that had just been built on both sides of the river bank were paved with large green stones and reinforced with mixed soil slurry, which could withstand a once-in-a-century flood. However, in this flood peak, it kept trembling like dangerous houses in heavy rain, and could be broken through the embankment at any time! The trees such as weeping willows on both sides of the river bank were uprooted by the flood peak and rushed over together.
Wherever the peak passes, everything sweeping over is unstoppable! (To be continued...)
