Chapter 163 Twenty-five people, surrounded by three hundred people (two in one)
Liu Cheng told Li Jin before that he was called a prostitute, which was indeed not false at all.
At this time, he had a small raft made of reed poles tied in front of him, which he used as a lifebuoy. His iron halberd was also strung across the raft.
Behind the body, there is also a small raft tied.
What is tied to this method is his armor.
In addition, he also held a larger raft in his right hand, relying on the power generated by his forward paddling to swim towards the other shore with so many things.
Of course, besides him, there were five other people around this large raft.
The other five people were dressed the same as him.
The six of them were distributed on the left and right sides of the big raft, paddling hard together, pushing the big raft towards the other side of the river.
This was much bigger, and there was no secret weapon on the raft that Liu Cheng and others were pushing so hard to the other side.
What is placed on top is an extra-long rope made of many long ropes connected together.
These ropes were neatly arranged in advance.
The end of the rope was tied to a tree on the south bank of Xiaopingjin Ferry.
Now, as Liu Cheng and others push the raft forward, the rope tied at the end is also loosened, straightened, and falls into the water in circles.
This rope is of great use.
The soldiers and horses led by Liu Cheng were mainly northern soldiers. There were not many people who knew how to swim, and even fewer who were good at water.
Even if he came up with such a sharp tool as a reed raft, it would be too difficult for these people, many of whom did not know how to swim, to cross the Yellow River at night with such tools!
Crossing such a wide river in such darkness and in such a way is too much of a test on one's psychology.
Being helpless in the darkness not only makes people fearful, but also makes it easy for soldiers to get separated in the Yellow River in such darkness.
Causing chaos and numerous non-combat casualties.
Especially those who don't know how to swim.
So Liu Chenggong thought of a way to solve this problem.
The solution lies in this rope.
First, those who are good at water must cross the river and tie the rope they carry on the other side.
In this way, those who are not good at water and who come later can hold the rope with their hands and cross the river all the way.
On the one hand, following the rope allows the soldiers to find their direction and not get lost in the darkness of the Yellow River.
More importantly, holding such a rope in their hands can greatly reduce the fear in their hearts and give them something to rely on.
On the other hand, with a "life jacket" made of bundles of reed poles tied in front of you, pulling a rope across the river with your hands is much faster and easier than simply paddling.
Even those who don't know how to swim can still cross the river as quickly as possible with these...
Liu Cheng and others dispatched a total of thirty people this time to take the lead in crossing the river.
Therefore, in addition to Liu Cheng and his group, there were four other groups of people who were just like them, using the same equipment and the same method to deliver ropes to the other side of the river.
As long as we can get all five ropes to the other side of the river, tie them tightly, and have five ropes, we can allow the soldiers who stayed on the south bank to cross the river to the north bank.
The river water is cold, even if you have been in it for such a long time, it still feels cold.
"Everyone, hold on, we are almost on the other side... After this battle is successful, I will treat everyone to a delicious meal..."
During the march, Liu Cheng lowered his voice and encouraged everyone in a low voice.
At the same time, continue rowing towards the other shore.
Tonight they were able to row to the other side, and they were relatively lucky because there was a southeasterly wind blowing.
Not only did they save a lot of energy, they were also much faster.
After a hard rowing that required great perseverance, among the five groups, Liu Cheng and others, who were the most prepared for the exam, had already approached the other side of the river.
You can clearly see the enemy camp illuminated by the firelight, as well as several soldiers standing around the camp on guard.
And the people who were feeding the horses in the stables that were being built in a hurry.
Liu Cheng, who had excellent eyesight, could even see the soldier feeding the horse. Taking advantage of the break to feed the horse, he quietly looked around, and then quietly extended a sinful hand to the back of the mare.
Under the crotch, I touched the equipment used by the mare to raise the foal...
Seeing such a scene, Liu Cheng couldn't help but grin.
Sure enough, these people have been soldiers for a long time, and when they see anyone of the opposite sex, they will feel that they are pretty, and then they will have other thoughts...
On the north bank of Xiaopingjin, there is a long stretch of gentle terrain on the bank.
Just relying on these hundred or ten people, it is impossible to tightly guard it for such a long distance.
Liu Cheng and others carefully docked in a relatively dark and remote place.
Even if they are extremely careful, they will still inevitably make some water noise when they get out of the water.
Fortunately, there is wind tonight, which blows the water continuously against the river bank, making a sound.
This kind of movement did a good job of covering up the noise they made when they came out of the water.
Among a group of six people, five people carefully and quickly put on their armor and picked up their own weapons.
The remaining person didn't even have time to put on his clothes and armor, so he immediately pulled the few remaining ropes and found a suitable place to tie them up.
After all five groups of people successfully arrived here without alerting the enemy, Liu Chengxin breathed a sigh of relief.
Putting on his armor, he reached out and touched his little brother who was frozen and had nothing left. Liu Cheng couldn't help but sniffed slightly. For a moment, he was a little worried. After this experience,
Will the guy get frozen...
"Let's go up with me and kill these people!"
Liu Cheng, who stood here with a bow and arrow in hand, waited for a while. When he saw that the twenty-four people who were fighting with him were all wearing armor, he immediately lowered his voice and gave orders to everyone.
Then he took the lead and quietly ran up the river bank, and walked around to the west of where those people were stationed.
This is to prevent someone from running to the west after a conflict later and leaking the news here.
While walking, the feather arrow in Liu Cheng's hand was already resting on the hard bow.
This is to prevent any accidents from happening.
The remaining twenty-four soldiers who had just crossed the Yellow River had no time to take a breath. They immediately followed Liu Cheng and took action, preparing to kill the enemy with few against many!
"Plop!"
Even though Liu Cheng and others were very careful along the way, accidents still happened.
On the edge of the river bank, a soldier who was pulling an extremely long rope and tying it to a tree on the side lost his footing and slipped inside, making a loud noise.
The kind that can't cover up the sound of water waves!
The two thieves who were standing outside and on guard were alerted by such a sound and began to walk toward the river bank with some caution and vigilance!
Once they see someone and howl at the top of their lungs, things will not be easy to handle!
That is to say, when many people's hearts were in their throats, the soldier walking in front fell to the ground unexpectedly!
"You guy, look at your courage!
It's just some movement coming from the water, maybe it's just a big carp that scared you like this..."
Seeing this, another bandit laughed and cursed loudly, and stretched out a foot to kick his fallen companion.
As a result, before his foot even kicked the man, he himself was stunned on the spot, and then fell to the ground without saying a word...
Here Liu Cheng held the bow with its string still trembling, and said to the soldiers beside him: "Let's go! Beat these guys!"
The soldiers who followed Liu Cheng already knew that their commander was an expert in archery. Now they saw with their own eyes how their commander killed two thieves one by one with one arrow from a long distance, and they were particularly shocked.
.
With the blood in my heart and the courage in my chest, I will wake up in no time!
No longer aware that the number of people he was waiting for was small, he just wanted to follow his commander, howl and rush forward to kill these soldiers and horses!
As for Liu Cheng, at this time, he had already put away his big bow, carried it on his back, and held his big iron halberd in his hand. As he walked towards the three hundred thieves, his steps began to speed up slowly.
.
Some arrangements were also made.
"The six of you guard the west, and the six of you guard the north!
The six of you, quickly go around to the east and defend. We have surrounded these three hundred thieves!
Don’t let any of them escape!”
During the march, Liu Cheng quickly arranged an excellent tactic of eighteen men surrounding three hundred men.
"When the thieves start making trouble, you start shouting and making noises, and shoot arrows at the thieves who want to attack you."
"By the way, when shouting, you need to pay attention to some skills. For example, you can shout, Jiuyuan Lu Feng is here first! Who dares to fight with me!
You can also call Xiliang warrior Hua Xiong here..."
After quickly explaining some things, Liu Cheng thought of some ways and quickly spoke again to explain to these people.
After hearing what Liu Cheng said, many soldiers could not help but be stunned. Apparently they did not expect that some things could actually be operated in this way.
However, I quickly realized the benefits of this excellent operation.
He immediately took the order and followed Liu Cheng's instructions to quickly and carefully go where he needed to go.
Liu Cheng, with the remaining six soldiers behind him, moved forward some distance and got closer to the camp of these three hundred thieves before stopping.
He put down the iron halberd in his hand again, took out his bow and drew arrows again, and stared at the camp vigilantly to prevent any accidents from happening.
"Are you afraid?
After all, it’s just the seven of us charging at three hundred thieves?”
While waiting for the soldiers he had dispatched to arrive at their designated positions, Liu Cheng turned to look at the six people around him and asked with a smile.
"Don't be afraid. As long as the emperor is here, I won't be afraid! Even if there are thousands of troops, I will dare to go for it!"
When Liu Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but smile.
"Okay, not bad! As expected of the soldiers led by me, Liu Cheng!"
After that, Liu Cheng added: "Actually, there is nothing to be afraid of in this matter. Although the people on the other side are a bit more than us, they are just some chickens and dogs, and they are vulnerable!
When we charge later, just follow me closely and guard the rear for me!
Let’s see how I cut down the generals, cut off the flags, and defeated these traitors!”
Although the words Liu Cheng said were not loud, when they heard it in the ears of the six soldiers here, the blood in their hearts surged upwards.
I even forgot about the coldness on my body!
"I am willing to follow my uncle to defeat the enemy! Witness my uncle's power!"
"I am willing to follow my uncle to defeat the enemy! Witness my uncle's power!"
They lowered their voices and spoke passionately.
After waiting quietly here for a while, Liu Cheng calculated the time and estimated that the people heading to the east would have already arrived, so he put his bow behind his back again.
He picked up the iron halberd again and said to the six soldiers beside him: "Gentlemen! Follow me to kill the enemy!"
As he said that, he put his foot down and walked quickly towards the camp of 300 people in front of him.
Six soldiers followed closely behind, holding weapons.
"Uncle of the Han Dynasty, Liu Cheng and Liu Kede are here! We are waiting for the traitors, why don't you surrender quickly!"
In the night sky on the north bank of the Yellow River in Xiaopingjin, such a loud shout suddenly rang out, directly breaking the tranquility of the night!
As the loud roar rang out, the iron halberd in Liu Cheng's hand suddenly swept out, adding night grass to the horse in the simple stable, but he took the opportunity to do some obscene things, and was the first to notice their arrival, and panicked.
In the middle, the thieves who wanted to do something were beaten until their bones were broken!
The traitor only had time to let out a scream, and he was already dead before he even hit the ground!
After Liu Cheng killed this man, he left two men who were good at shooting, holding bows and arrows here, in case some thieves would come and steal the horses in the chaos, and then ride away to report the news.
Leading the four soldiers who had already mounted the enemy's horses in a hurry like him, they headed towards the enemy's camp which was very close at hand!
These four soldiers, as well as the two soldiers who were left by Liu Cheng to guard the horses, also followed Liu Cheng and shouted loudly: "Uncle of the Han Dynasty, Liu Cheng and Liu Kede are here! The traitors are waiting for you, please surrender quickly!"
The sound was particularly loud in this night!
A bandit heard the noise and hurriedly came out of the camp to check the situation. Before he could see clearly what happened, a large iron halberd swept him to death, and
Destroyed the tent by the way!
Cover all the people inside!
As time passed, more thieves appeared from the camp in a hurry.
Liu Cheng was not afraid at all. He rode a horse, brandished a big iron halberd, and led four soldiers to charge back and forth in the camp of 300 people!
