please remember

"Get ready to retreat!" Cheng Qun threw away the half-cut knife and looked up to the sky with a sigh.

Although the generals in the courtyard were unwilling to give in, they also knew that this was inevitable. The two enemies had joined forces, and their power was no longer something they could resist. What's more, all their friendly forces were now in dire straits.

"Inform Liu Xuyong, Liu Huajian, and Jiang Guangyu to break out of the encirclement separately, as long as they can go!" Cheng Qun closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, he forced back the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes.

"General, maybe we can rescue General Liu Xuyong!" Jinwu Guard Deputy General Lan Kun suggested in a low voice.

"Yun Zhao is waiting for me to do this!" Cheng Qun shook his head and said: "After the merger of Meng and Yuan Dynasties, apart from the troops that have already appeared, where are there many troops? Where is Zhou Guangyi of the Northern Army? Where is the Mongolian army?

Tuoli, where did Xiao Lixi and Xiao Lituo go? Where did Han Zhong go?"

Lan Kun couldn't help but be speechless.

"Retreat. If you don't leave, even we won't be able to leave!" Cheng Qun said flatly.

In Jingzhou, on a hilltop several miles away from Yanziji, Yo Ma looked at the hazy Yanziji in the distance with a fierce expression and said to Ye Ping beside him: "We must not let that old bastard Cheng Qun escape.

Back in Jingzhou, that old boy turned around, but it cost us a lot of money to conquer the Northern Army. Retribution in this world comes quickly, this time it is our turn."

"General, Yanziji is difficult to fight. Look at its terrain. It is surrounded by water on three sides. The entire fortress extends deep into the river. The only place connected to the land is protected by a city wall. If you fight hard, you may not be able to get through.

!" Ye Ping stared at Yanziji in the night, feeling a little embarrassed.

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

Ye Ping was taken aback. "General, you are telling us that if we swim there, the water will be at least two miles wide. Moreover, it is only March now and the water temperature is extremely low. If we do not make a mistake, we will die in the water."

"We are not risking our lives, Ye Ping. We are fighting for our lives!" Yo Ma clenched his fist tightly, "If we don't fight, what will happen? Ye Ping, I will lead 2,000 people to swim in Yanziji on the water, and you will lead 3,000 people.

Go along the land and set up an ambush near the checkpoint. Tomorrow, Lao Cao and the others will launch an ambush here.

At the same time, I will also launch an attack on Yanziji. At this time, Jingzhou will definitely send reinforcements to support Yanziji. I defeated them before I occupied Yanziji. I don’t want to see any soldiers.

The soldiers of Jingzhou Town who died set foot on the land of Yanziji."

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

"Go and tell the brothers to sign up voluntarily. If you are a little less water-resistant, there is no need to come. I want to be a Langli Baitiao who is truly proficient in water-based skills!" Yo Ma said as he took off his armor.

"General, here you go!" The medical officer beside Ma Yo took out a gourd from his body and quietly handed it to Ma Yo, "This is just this pot, it's gone!"

"Ha!" Yo Ma took it and chuckled: "This is good stuff. It's a pity that there is no ginger. Otherwise, it would be much easier to boil a big pot of soup for the brothers to drink."

There is no shortage of people who fight for their lives in the army of the Northern Conquest, because once the risk of death is successful, it means great credit. The greater the credit, the more rewards they will receive after the war. The reward of the Northern Governor's Mansion is extremely valuable to the soldiers.

What is attractive is not the woman wearing silver and silk, but the land, the pieces of land that truly belong to them.

The Northern Conquest Army never rewarded them with money because they gave their soldiers generous military pay. If a soldier's military salary was not spent carelessly, it was enough to support a family of three. Even when the Northern Conquest Army was in the most difficult time, they never withheld money.

The military pay that exceeds that of soldiers. The generous salary and a piece of land that belongs to them are enough for these soldiers to fight for their lives. If they are not soldiers, they may never have a piece of land that truly belongs to them in their lifetime.

The two thousand men were quickly recruited. They thought that the water was poor and it was difficult to swim across in this weather. Other soldiers looked at those selected with envy. Among the army, those who performed the most difficult tasks would certainly die.

The probability is relatively high, but the rewards obtained are not comparable to others. In troubled times, human life is not as good as that of dogs. As long as there is a chance to fight, everyone wants to fight.

There was no extra mobilization or extra encouragement. Yo Ma glanced at the soldiers who were preparing to follow him to fight for their lives, and just nodded slightly, "Let's go!"

When the Cangjiang River came here, it surged inward for more than ten miles. Although it was not as turbulent as on the main road, the water flow hit the river bank and still splashed a lot of waves, which penetrated deeply into the river.

Yanziji stands tall surrounded by the river. Yo Ma squatted by the river and put his hand into the water. The cold river water made him involuntarily show his teeth, "It's really cold!"

It is still early March, and spring has come late in the North. Going into the water at this time really requires some courage.

"Brothers, cut some branches to make a raft. We have to bring armor and weapons with us. Otherwise, if we just pass by, a naked person will really become a piece of meat on someone else's chopping board!" Yo Ma pretended to be relaxed and stood up.

Get up and say.

There was a slight chuckle among the team and they dispersed. After a while, everyone was dragging some rafts made of branches, stems and leaves, putting their armor and weapons on them, and picking them up with ropes or belts.

This has several advantages. Firstly, it can transport weapons and armor. Secondly, these rafts can also increase the buoyancy of soldiers in the water. If they are really exhausted, they can rest on the rafts.

The test for horse friends and others is not the distance of the river, but the temperature of the river.

Looking back at the dark soldiers behind him, Yo Ma waved his fist and said to them and himself: "Good luck!" Then without hesitation, he was the first to step into the cold river water and slowly moved forward.

After a few steps, the river water was already above the waist. Ma Yo took a deep breath, threw himself into the river water, waved his arms, and rowed forward with all his strength.

Behind him, groups of soldiers marched toward the cold river.

The distance of about two thousand meters would be nothing to them if it was during the warm season of the river. But now, the temperature is deadly enough. As soon as they crossed the center of the river, Ma Yo felt that his lower limbs were completely gone.

perception, as if they no longer belong

He seemed to have fallen into the 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 there. He did not dare to look.

On the other side, he was afraid that he would lose confidence because of this.

But now, confidence is the only force supporting him.

I can definitely swim through it.

Several black lines were arranged on the river, swimming towards Yanziji. From time to time, people in the queue would be seen sinking and never getting up again. They were carried by rafts floating on the river and flowed downstream. At this time,

At this moment, no one dared to reach out and give him a hand, everyone was too busy to care about themselves.

Yo Ma felt that he was about to die. All the strength in his body seemed to have been exhausted. Every time he waved his arms, he seemed to be pulling a thousand kilograms of weight. "Come on, Yo Ma, you won't die here, you are going to seal the world."

How could a candidate for general die on this small Cangjiang River? Come on!" He fought hard

Mingdi encouraged himself, waved his arms, and bounced his long legs. Finally, he waved his arms again. When his hand sank into the river, it actually touched the bottom of the river. The other hand followed closely and touched again.

When he arrived at the spot, he shouted wildly in his heart, straightened his body with all his strength, and stood up.

He climbed ashore with difficulty and lay sprawled on the sand, with his mouth open like a dead fish, desperately breathing in the air. After resting for a long while, he took out the gourd given to him by the medical officer from his waist and took a small sip.

After one sip, a burning sensation flowed down the throat, and instantly, the body seemed to be on fire.

"Cao Xinyu, I will treat you to a big drink when I get back!" Yo Ma secretly shouted in his heart. Without Cao Xinyu's almost devilish forced training, he would not have become as skilled as he is today.

Water-based water player.

Someone fell down heavily next to him. Ma Yo turned around and saw a school lieutenant lying there, breathing heavily. Ma Yo handed over the gourd in his hand, "That's it, sip less, take it slow."

slow!"

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

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

Officers shuttled back and forth on the beach one after another, kicking the soldiers who were lying on the ground like dead fish, urging them to stand up and arm themselves, and at the same time they were counting how many of their men could cross the river.

Come.

"General, more than 300 brothers didn't get up!" A captain sniffed, feeling a little sad, "They are dead!"

Looking at the slowly flowing river, Yo Ma spat hard, "Cangjiang, me!"

Looking up at Yanziji, the top fortress was several miles away from them in a straight line. The entire Yanziji was full of strange rocks and rugged rocks, making it extremely difficult to climb. Yo Ma estimated the time, and he had to climb up before dawn, otherwise

That's troublesome. Counting the time, when he lands on Yanziji, Cao Xinyu should also launch an attack.

"Let's go, I've already swam over from Cangjiang, how can you, a little mountain guy, stop me!" He spit into his hand, and Yo Ma took the lead and climbed up towards Yanziji.

Almost as Ma Yo was swimming across the Cangjiang River, Cao Xinyu's fleet pulled anchor from the anchorage, sailed down the river, and headed straight for Yanziji. More than thirty five-masted ships and hundreds of various transport and support ships were densely packed.

White sails cover the sky and the sun.
