"Prepare to retreat!" Cheng Qun sighed to the sky.

Although the generals and schoolmen in the yard were unwilling to accept it, they also knew that this was inevitable. The two enemies merged, and their momentum was no longer something they could withstand, not to mention that their friendly forces are now in desperate situations.

"Notify Liu Xuyong, Liu Huajian, and Jiang Guangyu to break through each other. How much can you walk?" Cheng Qun closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened it, the tears that were almost burst out from his eyes were forced to pull back by him.

"General, maybe, we can save General Liu Xuyong!" Lan Kun, deputy general of Jinwu Guard, whispered.

"Yun Zhao is waiting for me to do this!" Cheng Qun shook his head and said, "After the merger of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, not counting the troops that have already appeared, there are still many troops? Where are Zhou Guangyi, who was the Northern Army, who went there? Where did Xiao Lixi, Xiao Licuo, who was from the Mongolian Army? Where did Han Zhong go?"

Lankun couldn't help but speak.

"Retreat. If you don't leave, you won't even leave!" Cheng Qun said decisively.

In Jingzhou, on a mountain that is most miles away from Yanziji, Ma You looked at Yanziji in the distance with a fierce expression and said to Ye Ping beside him: "You must not let the old bastard Cheng Qun escape back to Jingzhou. That old boy shot his horse back, but it has caused our Northern Army to fight back. The retribution in the world is coming quickly. This time it is our turn."

"General, Yanzijie is not easy to fight. Look at its terrain, surrounded by water on three sides, the entire fortress position extends deeply into the river. The only place connected to the land is equipped with city wall protection. If you fight hard, you are afraid you can't fight it!" Ye Ping looked at Yanzijie in the night with his eyes. He was a little embarrassed.

"Don't forget who we are? We are the Marine Corps! Water can stop us!" Ma You sneered.

Ye Ping was surprised. "General, you mean we swam over. It is at least two miles wide. And it's just March, and the water temperature is extremely low. If you don't have a good time, you will die in the water."

"It's not a life-saving, Ye Ping. We are fighting for life!" Ma You clenched his fists tightly, "Would you be dead if you don't fight? Ye Ping, I will lead 2,000 people to swim on Yanziji. You will lead 3,000 people to go along the land and set up an ambush near that level. Tomorrow, Lao Cao and the others will attack here. At the same time, I will also launch an attack on Yanziji. At this time, Jingzhou will definitely send reinforcements to support Yanziji. Defeat them for me, and before I occupy Yanziji, I don't want to see a soldier and a soldier Jingzhou army stepping on the land of Yanziji."

"Yes, General, I will definitely complete the task!"

"Go and tell my brothers, please sign up voluntarily. If the water is slightly worse, there is no need to come. I want to be truly proficient in the water-like white strips!" Ma You said while removing the armor from his body.

"General, I'll give it to you!" The medical officer next to Ma You took out a gourd from his body and quietly stuffed it to Ma You, "This pot is gone!"

"Ha!" Ma You took it and chuckled, "This is a good thing. Unfortunately, there is no ginger, otherwise it would be much easier to make a big pot of soup for the brothers to drink."

There are never shortages of people in the Northern Army who fought for life, because once the battle succeeded, it means that the greater the credit. The greater the credit, the more rewards you received after the war. The rewards from the Northern Governor's Office are extremely attractive to the soldiers. They are not silver and cloth women, but land, piece by piece of land that truly belongs to them.

The Northern Army never rewarded silver because they gave the soldiers generous military pay. If the military pay of a soldier was not randomly spent, it would be enough to support a family of three. Even when the Northern Army was in the most difficult time, they had never deducted the military pay of the soldiers. The generous salary plus a piece of land belonging to them was enough to make these soldiers fight for their lives. If they did not join the army, they might not have a piece of land that truly belonged to them in their lives.

The two thousand people were quickly collected, and they believed that they were poor in water. Other soldiers who were difficult to swim in this weather looked at the selected people enviously. Among the army, the people who performed the most difficult tasks were quite likely to die, but the rewards they received were not comparable to those of others. People in troubled times were not as good as dogs. Only with the chance of fighting, everyone wanted to fight.

Without unnecessary mobilization or unnecessary motivation, Ma You glanced at the soldiers who were about to follow him to fight desperately, but just nodded slightly, "Let's go!"

When the Cangjiang River flowed here, it poured inward for more than ten miles long. Although there was no surging above the main road, the water flow hit the river bank and still splashed a lot of waves. Yanzijie, who was deeply exploring the river, stood tall in the surroundings of the river. Ma You squatted by the river and reached into the water. The cold river water made him bare his teeth involuntarily, "Damn it, it's really cold!"

It is still early March now, and spring in the north is already a little late. It really takes some courage to go into the water during this season.

"Brothers, cut some branches to make a raft. We have to bring our armor and weapons over, otherwise just passing by a naked person will really become the fish on someone else's chopping board!" Ma You pretended to be relaxed, stood up and said.

A gentle laughter came from the team, and it didn't disperse. In a moment, everyone dragged some rafts made of branches, poles, leaves, grass and grass. They placed their armor and weapons on them, picked them up with ropes or belts, and tied them in front of their waists. This has several benefits. First, they can transport weapons and armor, and second, these rafts can also increase the buoyancy of soldiers in the water. If they are really weak, they can also rest on the raft.

The test for Ma You and others is not the distance between the river water, but the temperature of the river water.

Looking back at the dark soldiers behind him, Ma You waved his fists and said to them, "Good luck!" Then, without hesitation, he stepped into the cold river water first, slowly flowing forward, and after walking several steps, the river water was already over the waist. Ma You took a deep breath, threw himself into the river water, waved his arms, and paddled forward with force.

Behind him, teams of soldiers followed one after another, heading towards the cold river.

It was about two thousand meters away. If it was in the warm season of the river, it was nothing to them, but now, the temperature was enough to make people fatal. As soon as he crossed the middle of the river, Ma You felt that his lower limbs had completely lost consciousness. It seemed that they no longer belonged to him. He seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar. He waved his arms desperately and swam forward mechanically. He tried his best to raise his head and looked up at the sky with a few small stars hanging on it. He did not dare to look at the other side, because he was afraid that he would lose confidence because of it.

And now, faith is the only force that supports him.

I can definitely swim over.

Several black lines were arranged on the river, swimming towards Yanziji. From time to time, people would be seen sinking in the queue and never get up again. They were carried by rafts of plants and trees floating on the river and flowed downstream. At this moment, no one dared to reach out and pull it, and everyone was distracted.

Ma You felt that he was about to lose his strength, and his whole body seemed to have been exhausted. Every time he waved his arm, he seemed to be pulling a heavy object worth a thousand pounds. "Come on, Ma You, you won't die here. You are the person who wants to be a general. How could he die on this small Cangjiang River? Come on!" He tried his best to cheer himself up, waved his arms, and flexed his long legs. Finally, he waved his arms again. When his hand sank into the river, he actually touched the bottom of the river. The other hand followed him forward and touched the realm again. He shouted in his heart, stepped forward with force, and stood up.

He climbed ashore with difficulty, lay on the sand on the ground, opening his mouth like a dead fish, breathing the air desperately, resting for a while, taking out the gourd given to him by the medical officer from his waist, taking a sip, a sensation flowed down his throat, and in an instant, his body seemed to become hot.

"Damn it, Cao Xinyu, I'll treat you to a big drink after I go back!" Ma You shouted in his heart. Without Cao Xinyu's almost devilish forced training, he would not have turned from a landlady into a skillful and watery master like today.

Someone around him fell heavily. Ma You turned around and was a lieutenant. He was lying there, gasping heavily. Ma You handed over the gourd in his hand, "That's all, suck it a little less, and slowly!"

The captain took the gourd, took a small sip, and handed it to the next person.

An hour later, there was no trace of anyone on the river. The horse friend got up, put on his clothes and armor, "Count the number of people!" He whispered to order.

A military officer was shuttled back and forth on the beach, kicking soldiers on the ground like dead fish, urging them to stand up and arm themselves, while also counting how many of his men could cross the river.

"General, more than 300 brothers have not yet risen!" A captain sniffed, feeling a little sad, "They are dead!"

Looking at the slowly flowing river water, Ma You spat fiercely, "Cangjiang, I'll fuck your mother!"

He looked up at Yanziji. The fortress at the top was several miles away from them in a straight line. The entire Yanziji was so scattered that it was extremely difficult to climb. Ma Jia estimated the time. He had to climb up before dawn, otherwise it would be troublesome. Calculate the time, when he climbed Yanziji, Cao Xinyu should also launch an attack.

"Let's go, Cangjiang has swam over. Can you stop me like this little hill bag?" He spitted into his hand, and Ma You took the lead and climbed up Yanzijie.

Almost as Ma You swam across the Cangjiang River, Cao Xinyu's fleet drew anchors from the anchorage, went downstream and headed straight to Yanziji. More than 30 five-masted ships, hundreds of various types of ships of assistance, dense white sails covering the sky and the sun.

The sky just turned pale. When the defenders on Yanzijie were picking up their jobs, a shrill alarm sounded and the enemy attacked.
