If we put it off like this, it will take at least ten days.

Thinking of this, the Han Prime Minister couldn't help but "tsk".

Compared with the continuous autumn rain in Wuzhangyuan, the autumn rain in Hedong and Hexi is much lighter. It only rained for two days in a row and then stopped.

Even so, Xian Yufu, who was stationed in Hexi, breathed a sigh of relief.

This time I finally made the right bet.

Feng Thief seemed to be leading his army south, intending to cross the river from Fengling and attack Tongguan, but in fact he wanted to mobilize the defenders in Hexi and expose the flaws in the defense.

In the past few days, the thieves on the other side have tried to force the crossing several times. Fortunately, he personally led the troops to defend Pubanjin and repelled the thieves' attacks.

As for the news coming from Tongguan, Feng Thief made a big deal out of it from the beginning, saying that he wanted to build a raft to cross the river, but in fact, he has not actually crossed the river until now.

This made Xian Yufu further confirm his idea.

After this autumn rain, the river water has swelled a lot, making it easier to defend.

At the same time, he was a little lucky:

Fortunately, there were Shu captives on the other side, not Wu invaders. Most of Feng's subordinates were from Xiliang. They might be unparalleled in land battles, but they were weak in water battles.

Seeing that there are many people on the other side, but every time we cross the river, it is always chaotic, and we are often forced to go back halfway across the river, which is not something to be afraid of.

The autumn rain had just stopped, and the Shu captives on the other side seemed to have no intention of crossing the river. After Xian Yufu inspected various places, he felt that he could sleep peacefully tonight.

On the second day, when the sky was just getting dark, a huge noise suddenly sounded on the east bank of the river, wow!

A huge raft was lowered into the water, then a second, then a third...

Yang Wanwan personally tied sheepskin airbags on both sides of his horse. There was no bow, no crossbow, and not even the most basic leather armor on the horse.

As for Yang Wanwan himself, he only wore a piece of leather armor, but this leather armor was made of silk leather.

It is made by the best cobbler in Xiliang.

Although it is a bit inferior to real iron armor, it is better than the light weight.

The most important thing is that it does not sink when exposed to water and helps to float on the water.

Zhao Guang came over and helped Yang Qian tie up the hemp rope with his own hands, while saying with some envy:

"Wei Ran, if you successfully cross the river this time, you will be considered a first success."

Yang Wanwan took the spear handed over by Zhao Guang, his face seemed to be happy but also worried, and he glanced at the foggy water.

Compared with the past, I could see the clearness on the other side at a glance. At this time, the sky was not clear, and it was after the autumn rain, so the fog was extremely heavy.

Not to mention that you can see the other side, you can't even see the center of the river.

Yang Wanwan exhaled, turned around, and whispered to Zhao Guang:

"Yiwen, if we can successfully cross the water this time, there will be nothing to say. I will not embarrass our Xinghan Association."

"If anything happens to me, I hope you can tell my brother that my wife, concubines, and children left in the clan can take care of me for me."

They had seen a lot of life and death before the battle, so the two of them didn't have any inhibitions about whether they would die or not.

Zhao Guang patted his chest:

"Even if I don't need to say more, when has brother ever treated his brother badly? Is the Xinghan Meeting just a show-off? Don't worry!"

"If you are worried about your wife and children, I will go and tell General Guan that I am willing to cross the river for you."

Hearing this, Yang Qianwan quickly waved his hand:

"No way, no way!"

"After following my brother for so long, I finally got this opportunity as a pioneer. How could I give it to you?"

"Besides, you still have to lead the cavalry battalion. I'll cross the river, and it's your turn later."

As he spoke, he glanced not far away.

But I saw General Guan riding a war horse and stationed on the shore, standing upright like a statue carved in stone.

The battle flag behind him whirred in the strong wind blowing from the river.

Judging from the news coming from Pubanjin, the main force of the Wei thieves is still guarding Pubanjin.

The other side seems to have seen through the monarch's plan to seize the opportunity to attack the east and attack the west.

But in fact, it is true that the prince went to Fenglingdu as a feint, but Pubanjin's massive offensive was also a feint.

General Guan had already quietly sneaked back to Linfen and took over the reinforcements brought by the prince.

Then he saw the opportunity and led the rested army southward along the Fen River to Longmen Ferry.

The autumn rain seemed to make it more difficult to cross the river, but it also paralyzed the defenders on the other side.

Coupled with this heavy fog, it created a rare opportunity for crossing the river.

General Guan took advantage of this rare opportunity and made a decisive decision to cross the river immediately.

Wei Guo only focused on the weaknesses of its defense, and its fatal flaw was finally exposed at this time.

Even if you don't count Fenglingdu and only count the distance between Pubanjin and Longmendu, it's still about three hundred miles.

Xian Yufu's separate attacks and cooperation against General Shangguan and Feng Junhou, coupled with the cooperation of Liu Hun, Zhao Guang and others, it would be a miracle if he could hold it, and it would be normal if he couldn't hold it.

"Water scouts, enter the water first!"

A dozen soldiers with excellent water skills crossed the mudflats and plunged into the vast yellow water.

They were scattered across the mile-wide river, among the rolling mud waves,

Gradually, their figures disappeared into the heavy fog, and nothing could be seen.

Just as the people on the bank stood on tiptoe and stretched their necks, anxiously waiting for the news, a sharp whistle suddenly came from the river.

"Two long and two short, the water is more turbulent than before, but it can be crossed."

"Cross the river!"

The Han soldiers who had been waiting on the shore for a long time, after receiving the military order, began to lead the war horses into the river. The sheepskin airbags on the horses' backs immediately floated, helping the war horses swim towards the other bank.

The foot soldiers stepped onto the raft one after another and began to row towards the opposite side.

There was a personal guard before and after Yang Wanwan, not just them, but the others as well. The three of them formed a swimming group.

Thirty groups advanced side by side, and the river began to become lively. The sounds of horses and shouts kept coming, and people on the bank were frightened.

Seeing that the first row had pulled away some distance, General Guan immediately ordered:

"The second column!"

"Wow!"

The second batch of war horses began to enter the river.

The use of sheepskins to cross the river was originally a method of crossing the river in the Hexi area. In addition, Feng Junhou planned and acted carefully. The horses and soldiers who entered the water were carefully selected.

As long as you follow the previous training, there won't be any major problems.

The Wei army guarding the west bank heard a whistle suddenly sounded from the river, and couldn't help but look at the river with some vigilance.

But the surface of the river was still hazy and I couldn't see anything clearly.

The companion yawned and asked vaguely:

"What's wrong?"

"Did you hear something in the river?"

The companion laughed, "Are you confused because of the night watch? Doesn't the river sound every day?"

As he spoke, he muttered again: "Why hasn't the successor come yet? I'm almost exhausted..."

"Horse braying?"

"Um?"

"It's a horse braying!"

In the heavy fog on the river, a dark crowd suddenly appeared, and in the waves, there were horse heads floating in it...

The sound of horses braying is exactly what they make.

"Enemy attack!"
Chapter completed!
