Standing on Dahei Mountain, he watched Jiao Siluo's cavalry crossing the river one after another, and the pontoon bridge on the river was also demolished. Yun Zheng wanted to go to Kalo River immediately, but was blocked by Lang Lige, and waited.
After five days, hundreds of people gathered at the ferry from all sides of the Kalo River and crossed the Yellow River together. Only then did Langlig agree to the caravan's march to the Kalo River.
Through this incident, Yun Zheng learned a truth: when two armies are fighting, no matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful.
Jiao Si Luo demolished the pontoon bridge, but the ferry here is still intact. This was originally a small village with dozens of families, but as soon as the army arrived, everyone hid in the mountains. It seemed that
They don't plan to come out until winter is over.
There is a boat on the ferry, not too big, but without oars. It feels a bit like crossing the Yellow River without a boat. There is an iron chain across the Yellow River, which seems to have just been smeared with grease. Those who want to cross the river only need to tie the rope to the ferry.
On an iron ring, the boat can be pulled across the Yellow River. The design is very reasonable. It took countless people to pull up such an iron chain. The green salt that the Qingtang people need is transported from here.
, related to people's livelihood, neither Xixia people nor Qingtang people will deliberately destroy any facilities here. After all, one needs to sell salt and the other needs to buy salt.
War is temporary, but transactions are eternal. Because of the benefits, people will spend a lot of money to build a ferry here where the water flow is gentle, and put up iron chains, and this is the famous Yanjin Ferry.
The Yellow River has many evils, but only one thing is rich. When the Yellow River first entered the Loess Plateau, it was still clear and the water volume was not large. It was as beautiful as a young girl. But when it split the Loess Plateau and rushed out of the canyon, the beautiful girl looked like a beautiful girl.
She turned into a hysterical shrew, ravaging the Central Plains so crazily that the embankments in Bianliang, Tokyo, needed to be built higher than the city wall.
Langrig was the first group of people to reach the other side. After the boat docked, he immediately mounted his horse and disappeared on the river bank. The rest had to wait until Langlig confirmed that the other side was safe before continuing.
The advantage of having an iron kite is that you can carefully avoid many unknown dangers. Ever since he saw the Qingtang people digging holes in the ground to design the Xixia people, Yun Zheng had a new appreciation for the simple and honest Qingtang people.
Cognition.
Yun Zheng stepped onto the land on the other side, and the first animal he saw while standing on the river embankment was a wolf, a green wolf. At the same time, the wolf also saw Yun Zheng, so he raised his neck and roared, and then the whole wasteland
The sound of wolves howling all over the place.
For the wolf, the food here is very rich, and the same is true for the goshawk in the sky. The wolf's eyes are red. Yun Zheng was worried that the wolf had rabies, but when he saw the green wolf descending to the river beach
After licking water from the inside, I was sure that I felt a little thirsty after eating enough. After all, human flesh is salty, and eating too much will make your mouth dry.
One sign of rabies is fear of water. Since it was not rabies, Yun Zheng decisively used a crossbow to kill the wolf. When he was about to trigger the crossbow, a palm with only three fingers covered the crossbow, and he was not allowed to do so.
Yunzheng started.
"It's true that wolves eat corpses, otherwise there will be a plague easily in the spring!" Sun Qizhi whispered to Yun Zheng. The two of them watched the wasteland cleaner drink enough water and walk up with his belly swaying.
He walked to Gaopo, and before leaving, he gave Yun Zheng a look of disdain.
"Aren't wolves in the wilderness afraid of people?"
"Why are you afraid? People are the masters here. When the army passes by, even if no one is killed, some food will be left for the wolves. The Dangxiang people have been paying such tolls for hundreds of years, and we have to pay this time too."
."
After Sun Qizhi finished speaking, he went to harness the cart. The mules were very disobedient. The horses were panting and pawing their hooves in excitement. However, the mules, who were born geldings, kept running towards the river beach. Sun Qizhi was
After being whipped twice, I finally became honest.
Wei Ming covered himself tightly with a conical hat, and said nothing after he took his maid into the mule cart. Ge Qiuyan also got into the mule cart, and her premonition was not good either.
If anyone in the team was in high spirits, it was Yun Zheng, Monkey and Han Niu. The three of them were riding on horses and talking non-stop. However, as the team progressed, the three of them could not stop laughing.
When I came out, I first saw a lot of heads thrown on the ground casually. It was probably that the secretary of Jiao Si Luo didn't want these heads after counting the war achievements.
When the blue-gray heads were blown by the wind, some would roll on the ground twice, looking at Yun Zheng with various expressions. Although they had no eyeballs, Yun Zheng felt that these heads were looking at him.
Han Niuqiang smiled and jumped off the horse, and kicked a human head that was blocking the road. The human head was kicked away with a whoosh and fell into a pit.
Yun Zheng wanted to hide in the mule cart, but when he looked at his subordinates, although all of them were pale and some were already feeling sick, for the sake of the growth of the army, Yun Zheng still pretended not to care and continued to stand on his horse.
As we walked further forward, the number of corpses slowly increased, not only human corpses, but also some broken war horse corpses. Sun Qizhi said that many of the war horse corpses had been recovered and became dinner for the soldiers. Yun Zheng
I don't understand how those people ate so much horse meat on the battlefield.
Lang Lige hurried over from the horizon and told Yun Zheng that the village had been burned to the ground and nothing was left. However, he found a large headless corpse in front of it.
There are also a lot of linking mechanisms of the divine arm crossbows scattered around. Even though they are badly damaged, I don’t know if they can be restored.
The smell on the battlefield is very fresh, it's true. The corpses are frozen as hard as stones, and the blood stains have turned into black ice. The wolf's teeth are very powerful, and they have bitten countless white stubbles on them.
Yun Zheng ordered his subordinates to collect the divine arm crossbow parts here as soon as possible. As long as they feel like it, they must put them away.
A stick of incense was enough to collect a lot of junk. The wolves in the wilderness were already roaring and urging Yunzheng, an idle man, to get out of here. It was a sin to disturb the wolves while they were eating. Yunzheng jumped on his horse and quickly led the people to the place.
Walking through the mountain pass, Sun Qizhi threw two live sheep from the mule cart carrying sheep, waved his whip and followed the group.
When Yun Zheng turned around, the two sheep were running wildly on the wasteland, bleating and calling to the retreating convoy, as if they wanted to catch up with the convoy. Unfortunately, as abandoned ones, they were destined to be devoured by the wolves.
Yun Zheng's attribution was too early. I saw a man flying out of the mule cart. He kicked one of Yun Zheng's subordinates off his horse, turned the horse's head and ran towards the road. Before the man arrived, the two men in his hand were
It flew out as soon as it arrived, and a big green wolf that had just leaped high and was about to bite the sheep's neck rolled away with a howl.
Sun Qizhi's face became so gloomy that he had to stop the mule cart and looked angrily at the crazy woman who jumped out.
Ge Qiuyan was really crazy. She was actually trying to save the two sheep. The wolves were unwilling to give up the food. Perhaps they regarded Ge Qiuyan as food. Four or five green wolves kept wandering around her.
The long hair on his neck has stood up, and his back is half-bowed, ready to attack at any time.
Ge Qiuyan foolishly jumped off the horse, and the horse neighed and ran away. The moment the woman drew her sword, the wolves attacked.
When Yun Zheng and his men dispersed the wolves, Ge Qiuyan held two trembling sheep and stared at Yun Zheng fiercely and said, "You are not allowed to abandon me!"
A woman who is more ferocious than a wolf actually cried and begged him not to abandon her. This is really the most ridiculous thing in the world!
"My martial arts skills are not as good as yours, and I may not have as many men as you. It's hard to say who will abandon who. Ge Qiuyan is a famous gangster in the Song Dynasty, and the government's reward for you is no less than a thousand gold coins! Now I am also being
You are in control. It is ridiculous to say such things now. The strong asks the weak for help. This is not a way to survive. You should beg Gao Tansheng!"
Yun Zheng was very dissatisfied. This woman broke the rhythm of the convoy, especially in such a difficult situation. Perhaps those two abandoned sheep reminded her of herself, and she did this out of self-pity.
Crazy behavior comes.
"There really is no antidote to the Bliss Pill, no! If there is, I will definitely give it to you, there really isn't..." Ge Qiuyan collapsed. The peaceful life in the mountain col formed a terrifying contrast with the hell on earth in front of him.
Humans are social animals. When everyone in a team is alienated from you, the feeling of insecurity will greatly increase.
Yun Zheng jumped off the horse, pulled one of Ge Qiuyan's legs over, used a knife to open the blood-stained trousers, and poured liquor on the wound. This should be very painful. Ge Qiuyan squeezed tightly
He grabbed Yun Zheng's clothes and said nervously: "There is no antidote to the Bliss Pill, you have to believe me!"
Yun Zheng didn't say anything. After cleaning the wound on Ge Qiuyan's leg, he wrapped the wound with medicine and asked Ge Qiuyan's maid to help her to the carriage. There was no place to take what these people said. Now is a difficult time. Wait until
When it is beneficial to her, she will still betray you without discussion. Sympathy is not given casually.
Now that Ge Qiuyan got on the carriage and was still staring at the two sheep, Yun Zheng sighed and asked Han Niu to throw the sheep into the carriage instead of giving them to the wolves. He really didn't understand that the two sheep would still be killed tomorrow.
What is the difference between becoming dinner and giving it to the wolf now?
The difference is probably just Ge Qiuyan's state of mind. People's hearts are hard to fathom, and Jianghu people are especially untrustworthy! He has two hundred lives on his shoulders, and compassion will only become an inducement to harm these two hundred lives.
In the afternoon, the wind began to blow in the Kalo River. The white alkaline soil was blown up by the wind, and it was very bitter when it fell into the mouth. Wasteland, battlefield, corpses, wolves, broken military strongholds, plus the desolate singing of Sun Qizhi
, making the land in the northwest extremely desolate! (To be continued)
