Chapter 694 Zhang Wenyuan crosses the Nu River by boat
Chapter 694 Zhang Wenyuan crosses the Nu River by boat
The sky was still gloomy, as black as a pot.
On this day, it felt like someone had poked a big hole in it, like a hole in the Milky Way.
It has been raining for several days, and it is still pouring down at this time.
It's like it lasts forever.
The water levels in many rivers and lakes are constantly rising.
A lot of turbid water eventually merged into this big river.
Let this river, which used to be extremely quiet, become boiling.
In some narrow places, the river is very fast.
The river water lapped at the shore, roaring like a dragon.
The sky and the earth are vast, looking into the distance through the vast rain curtain.
Many mountains are gone.
Many scenes have become blurred, and the field of vision has been extremely reduced.
At this time, the boats moored at Zhangliao Water Village began to be untied.
Groups of well-trained soldiers came to the warship in the heavy rain at this moment.
Many of them had no idea about what they were going to do next.
Even in the past, they had lived on this river for many years and were very familiar with the river.
But at this time, looking at the angry Dajiang, I was still a little scared.
Thinking that on a day like this, they would brave the heavy rain and cross the river to attack the people of Jingzhou below, they became even more unsure.
Very uneasy.
However, when they looked at the naval commanders Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan who were the first to board the warship, standing on the warship, facing the surging river, these emotions in their hearts disappeared a lot.
Governor Zhang Wenyuan was a northerner with extremely high status and was even granted the title of Marquis by the King of Han.
From now on, I can live a very comfortable life even if I don't do anything.
Whether it is status or achievements, these are far beyond what people like them can compare with.
Now, it is such a person, a person from a neighboring county, who is the first to come to this warship.
With a calm face, he faced the turbulent waves.
Zhang Liao stood there, although he did not say a word, but after making such a move, these people were immediately speechless.
According to the dignity of Governor Zhang, if they dare to fight so hard, what do these people mean?
How could a man who was riding high on the great rivers and waves lose to such a man from a northern border county?
So, these soldiers boarded the warships one by one in the vast rain.
Even though they were afraid in their hearts, even though the waves were turbulent and the heavy rain made it hard for them to open their eyes, they still boarded the warship without hesitation.
Their commander-in-chief dares to fight so hard, so why don't they dare?
I also thought of the governor's heroic deeds of walking on the Yinping Road, climbing over the Motian Ridge, and entering Xichuan, and I became even more motivated.
At the same time, we should also be more fascinated.
With such a commander in chief, they will surely be able to do something that will shock the world again!!!
Gan Ning was also at another place, leading the soldiers to board the warship.
Zhang Liao stood on the warship and saw all this.
After seeing that everyone on his side had already boarded the warship, he immediately ordered the warship's anchor to be put away.
Without anyone's urging, the warship was driven downstream by the rolling river water.
The speed is much faster than before.
The soldiers did not dare to neglect, and the people in charge of supporting the boat worked hard to control the direction.
Fight against the strong wind and waves.
Their warships are quite large and can be called Mongolian warships.
But at this time, compared with the surging river water, it suddenly seemed a little inadequate.
Although it is huge, it is like a small boat on a big river.
The soldiers on the warship were like ants clinging to the leaves.
At any time and at any time, there is a danger that the boat will capsize and fall into the bottomless river.
Under the current situation, once the warship capsizes, they will have no chance of survival.
Faced with such dangers that existed anytime and anywhere, although these soldiers were a little nervous, at this time, they also maximized their potential.
With incomparable efforts and unity, they fought desperately to control the ship and fight against the wind and waves.
Taking advantage of the rolling river water, we kept heading eastward.
As for Zhang Liao, standing on the warship, facing this scene, he still looked calm.
There was no trace of panic at all.
On the contrary, sometimes, I can chat and laugh with the people around me from time to time.
This performance made everyone admire him.
As expected of Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan!
He is worthy of being a general who can entrust the emperor's uncle with a big task, let him lead the navy to garrison in Yizhou, and then lead the troops to attack Jingzhou!
This kind of person is indeed worthy of the emperor's trust and worthy of the emperor giving him the power to guard one side!
Not to mention other things, just this courage has surpassed too many people!
Gan Ning stood on the warship.
Even though he had been on this river for many years in the past.
However, under the current situation, I have no experience of traveling on the river.
It's too dangerous!
However, at this time, he ignored all of this.
What Zhang Liao said before and all the things he did echoed back and forth in his heart.
A person like Governor Zhang can fight so hard and not be afraid of the strong winds and waves. How can he, who has been on this river for many years, be afraid?
If you tell me, won't you be laughed at?
He was also infected by Zhang Liao's heroic spirit, standing on the bow of the boat, sailing on the turbid and turbulent river.
Looking through the vast rain curtain, he looked downstream.
Thinking of killing more thieves after arriving at Jingzhou Water Village.
By this time, he was convinced of what Zhang Liao said.
As long as they can reach the water village of those people in Jingzhou safely this time, they will definitely be caught off guard by themselves and others!
We will fight and wipe them out!
After all, not everyone has the courage to do this at this time!
Not to mention, from the beginning to now, everything that Zhang Liao and Governor Zhang have done has been particularly sound.
Never take risks.
This gave even more illusions to those below.
They would never have imagined that Zhang Liao, who was extremely cautious and steady in daily military operations, would suddenly change his previous style at this time and become extremely desperate and take risks.
Once you and others can successfully reach the opponent's camp, then the victory this time will definitely belong to your side!!
With these thoughts in mind, even for a person like Gan Ning, he couldn't help but feel a lot of admiration in his heart.
Although he is also conceited and thinks he is extremely brave.
But when it comes to marching and fighting, he still has a long way to go compared to Zhang Liao.
And this time, Zhang Liao's actions also made him understand a lot of truths at once.
I feel like I have learned something again...
Taishi Ci also stood on the warship.
However, this time he did not lead the troops away.
Still in the water village.
This time, Zhang Liao and Gan Ning went there mainly to take the lead.
The purpose was to destroy the iron cable across the river, and then go down the river after destroying it.
At this time, the follow-up troops brought by Taishi Ci were mainly here as backup.
Zhang Liao has made sufficient arrangements here.
This time he and Gan Ning led the troops and went on an adventure.
But not all the soldiers and horses were sent out.
Only half of the navy was dispatched.
The remaining soldiers, as well as the warships, are all here in the camp as a follow-up force.
Led by Tai Shici.
The reason for making this arrangement was mainly because Zhang Liao was worried. If he and Gan Ning really failed here, with such a follow-up force as a deterrent, they would still be able to fight in the future.
You won't lose one battle and become a mess.
It seems that Zhang Liao acted recklessly this time.
In fact, it's not reckless at all.
Instead, everything was taken into consideration.
I only took the risk to ensure that my side would not suffer a huge defeat, and that even if I were defeated, I would definitely not be injured.
It's not an all-or-nothing kind of adventure.
Just from the arrangement of this operation, it can be seen that Zhang Liao will definitely be promoted to the ranks of famous generals after this battle.
The last time we took the Yinping Trail, we were under the command of Liu Cheng.
But this time, he formed an army unilaterally.
Taishi Ci stood on the warship and watched Zhang Liao and Gan Ning lead the warship and disappear into the vast curtain of rain.
Following the river, we go farther and farther.
His heartbeat was very ups and downs, not calm at all.
Originally, this time, he wanted to take the navy across the river.
Let Zhang Liao, the commander-in-chief of the navy, command the remaining navy here as a follow-up force.
However, Zhang Liao did not agree.
He still remembered Zhang Liao's original words very clearly.
Zhang Liao said that this dispatch of troops was extremely dangerous, and even though the soldiers were well-trained on weekdays, they still felt panic in their hearts.
And there will be a lot of complaints.
At this time, in order to overcome these problems, the best way is for him, as an upright governor, to take the lead in leading troops into battle.
As long as this is done, many soldiers and generals will have nothing to complain about.
He, Zhang Liao, and the commander-in-chief of the entire army are all fighting with their lives. They have no reason not to fight!
Moreover, he was the first to bring it up.
Naturally, Zhang Liao should be the first to lead the troops into battle.
It makes no sense to just let the other generals take risks, while Zhang Liao sits behind and only moves his mouth.
Zhang Liao cannot afford to lose this person, nor can he do such a thing!
Looking at the ship disappearing into the vast water curtain, Taishi Ci couldn't help but admire it in his heart.
His gaze also became more determined.
With such a commander, such soldiers, and such dedication, how could they possibly be invincible in this battle?
In fact, when he first came here, although Taishi Ci never showed it, he was somewhat unconvinced towards Zhang Liao in his heart.
This kind of dissatisfaction is not that kind of dissatisfaction, but a kind of pride coming from a capable person.
But at this time, after Zhang Liao made such a move, all the dissatisfaction in Taishi Ci's heart disappeared without a trace.
Facing Zhang Liao who did such a thing in this state, he only had deep admiration for him.
Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan are worthy of being valued by the emperor's uncle!
Sure enough, he can take on a big responsibility!
…
Heavy rain poured down, and the river kept rising.
The turbid river water, mixed with weeds and trees, flows all the way east.
In Cai Mao's tent, Cai Mao was sleeping on the bed.
He hasn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.
Over the past few days, the various movements caused by people like Zhang Liao from upstream have made Fan feel exhausted mentally and physically.
At this time, it rained heavily that day and the river surged. Under this situation, those guys upstream finally calmed down.
I haven't been harassed again for several days.
The sound, like a curse, disappeared, and my ears were finally quiet.
This gave him the feeling of taking a deep breath.
In fact, it's not just him, but many people in Jingzhou Water Village all have similar feelings.
At this time, the river water rose sharply and heavy rain poured down.
It's a rare break.
As a person who grew up by the river, he also commanded the navy for many years.
Cai Mao knew more about the river than others.
At this time, the waves were so turbulent that no one dared to sail a boat to the river to do something at this time.
Anyone who dares to do this is just looking for death.
His long-term experience made him very confident in his judgment.
Therefore, he slept very peacefully at this time,
Moreover, in the past, Zhang Liao and Gan Ning's soldiers and horses had never dared to attack and fight against them.
They have always been just making small fuss there and using some disgusting methods in an attempt to undermine their military morale here.
From the extremely cautious actions of these people on weekdays, it can be seen that Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan, and Gan Ning were actually very cautious in using their troops.
Think about it, after all, the sailors under his command have been trained for a long time.
Neither he nor Zhang Yun are vegetarians.
When they face the navy waiting for them, they naturally have to be cautious and don't dare to make any mistakes.
Normally, they would be so careful, but in this situation, it was even more impossible for them to dare to come out of their water stronghold.
I heard that Zhang Liao was from the north.
Where can I see such huge waves?
At this time, the river was so turbid and turbulent that it was frightening that he might have been frightened to the point where his legs and feet were weak, and he was huddled in the camp, not daring to move out!
"Captain, now is it... is it necessary to be on guard?
Prevent the upstream, will there be soldiers and horses coming to attack?"
It was at this time that a general came to Cai Mao to ask for instructions.
Cai Mao seemed very upset that his rest was interrupted.
Try to suppress the anger in your heart.
"Just send some soldiers to patrol, and don't pay much attention to the rest.
In this situation, they don’t even dare to fight!”
(I highly recommend these two books.
"Man Tang Hong" is a new book written by a history veteran. The author is the Christmas Scarecrow. Many people should know his Northern Song, and now it comes with a new story.
It is written in the early Tang Dynasty. The protagonist is not the stereotyped son or son-in-law of Li Shimin, or the heir of some civil servants and generals in the early Tang Dynasty, but Li Yuanji.
This alone can explain a lot of things and the quality is guaranteed.
