Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 329
At noon on June [-], Hu Biao and others came to the Baigou River again; as long as they crossed this river, they would officially enter the Liao Kingdom and enter the Sixteen States of Yanyun.

Fortunately, it seems that the ever-victorious army in Zhuozhou City behind them has faintly felt that they have already had some rebellion.

Because Yelu Dashi was seriously injured and unable to act, the tens of thousands of Liao soldiers who had been deployed along the Baigou River have now hurriedly returned to Yanjing City.

In this way, Hu Biao and the others don't have to worry about being attacked by the Liao soldiers when they cross the river.

Unfortunately, it is midsummer now, and the Baigou River is in the most abundant water season of the year.

What's more terrible is that those Liao soldiers were a little misbehaving when they left. They directly burned several pontoon bridges in the river that were easy to build.

Looking at the water that is rushing down in the river channel that is almost [-] meters wide, everyone suddenly felt a little headache.

There is no doubt that this is a difficult problem arranged by the system for them.

Otherwise, if the modern plane is from Xiongxian County to Tangshan, the distance between the two places is only 300 kilometers if you take the high speed.

If there is no difficulty in it, the system will definitely not give them, so there is more than half a month of travel time.

After a while, the old snake looked at the river in front of him, and proposed:

"Old Hu, in our team, there are quite a few carts loaded with luggage, and there is no way to cross the river without building a bridge, and we can't even get some rafts to cross the river.

However, if the bridge is to be rebuilt, the amount of work will be too large.

When Song and Liao garrisoned troops here before, almost all the surrounding wood was taken away, and the nearest forest had to be pushed back ten miles to the outside.

It will take at least a week with our manpower until enough trees are re-cut down and then transported back to re-build the bridge.

After so long, how can we have so much free time.

Why don't we take a look along the river bank to see if we can find a narrow place in the river and reduce the amount of work? "

"Okay, let's take a look at the upstream and downstream at night. Others just take advantage of this time to quickly deal with the thigh wound, bury the pot and make food."

After thinking for a while, Hu Biao agreed in this way.

So the army, who had been on the road for half a day, stopped and started to bury the pot to make food. Yu Hanfeng, singer and others did not collect at night, and rode their horses to investigate along the river bank in two different directions.

After the food was cooked, these people rushed back again.

Although this period of time is not long, but the people who rode their horses to explore all the way, the upstream and downstream directions added up, and they ran a total of at least [-] miles.

It is a pity that in such a process, they did not find any suitable place.

Or to put it another way, the river channel in some places is indeed slightly narrower, but this also means that the river water is deeper and flows faster.

If a bridge is built in this kind of place, the amount of work will be larger and the time required will be longer.

Faced with such a problem of how to cross the river, it finally fell on Hu Biao's head.

Because of some choices and trade-offs, only Hu Biao is qualified to make them.

After hastily grabbing a bowl of millet rice with bacon to fill his stomach, Hu Biao began to think hard in his head while smoking a horned cigarette.

In the end, it was better to cross the river as soon as possible, so as to leave enough time to deal with the problems that may arise along the way. Such a thought had an absolute upper hand in his head.

Vigorously spat out the cigarette butt in his mouth, like venting, far away.

Hu Biao scolded: "What the hell! We don't want all those big carts, and try to carry as much of the supplies on them as possible on the empty horses.

The war horse can swim originally, as long as the brothers who can swim cross the river with a rope first, and after temporarily connecting a few ropes connecting the two banks, everyone should be able to cross the river with the rope. "

After hearing such an order, Lao Hei instinctively wanted to object.

In their team, it is true that they have a lot of spare war horses, almost more than 500 horses, and almost everyone has a preparation horse.

But how much material can an empty war horse carry after carrying everyone's armor and weapons and maintaining the necessary mobility?
And once you cross the river, everyone is immediately in the enemy-occupied area.

In the absence of sufficient luggage, it must be quite difficult to resupply in unfamiliar areas with luggage, and I am really worried.

I just thought of it, if those big cars don't give up, there is no other better way.

In the end, he could only keep his mouth shut and acquiesced to Hu Biao's decision.

In the following time, a few men with good water skills crossed the river with some wood with ease, and tied a total of three ropes to the remaining pontoon stakes at both ends, completing the construction of the ropes.

And relying on these three ropes, the whole army and the horses crossed the Baigou River at around five o'clock in the afternoon.

However, it seemed that it was a little less all of a sudden, and there was only one-fifth of the previous material reserves at most, which immediately cast a shadow in the hearts of everyone including Hu Biao.

In my heart, I somehow panicked.

******
After nightfall, piles of bonfires were lit, which immediately warmed the hearts of everyone who had been on the road for a day.

I just thought of the food and forage they carried, which was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye every day, and there was still a considerable distance from the destination, all the above-mentioned troubles.

For a while, the atmosphere in the entire Xuange camp became a little depressed.

At this moment, it is already June 21, which means that two days and two nights have passed since Hu Biao and the others crossed the Baigou River.

There are only nine days left before the time limit to reach Pingzhou.

Don't look at the present, two days have passed, Hu Biao and the others have not traveled too far since they entered the Sixteen States of Yanyun.

They are still in Zhuozhou, and then they have to pass through Youzhou, Jizhou, Jingzhou and other places before they can reach Pingzhou required by the mission.

The reason for this is that there are too many places where they need to detour along the way.

Ever since Guo Yaoshi, the ever victorious army, had rebelled, in order to prevent the Liao soldiers from attacking him in advance, he had set up sentries in many important places outside the city of Zhuozhou.

Hu Biao and others naturally didn't want to see their whereabouts, and they caused more trouble after being discovered by them.

Therefore, under the leadership of Qian Fu, a guide, he continued to detour; in the end, although he successfully bypassed those checkpoints, the efficiency of the journey was really not good.

As for tonight, the place where they camped was a deserted village.

Originally, according to Qian Fu, this village called Zhangjiacun has at least 200 people, most of whom are Han people from the north with the surname Zhang.

But after arriving here today, apart from hundreds of corpses that had decayed long ago, there was only one man who was so frightened that he couldn't ask a word for a long time.

Judging from all the traces, it was obvious that he had just been slaughtered a few days ago.

In addition, as long as there is edible food in the village, whether it is grain, or livestock, chickens and ducks, it has been robbed by people, and the Xuange camp has not even replenished any food.

On the contrary, because of Hu Biao's thinking, the Han people in the Northland are also Han Chinese.

After everyone dug a big pit and buried more than 100 corpses together, everyone became more and more tired.

Kun, who was guarding in front of a fire, now saw his morale a little low; although he himself felt very depressed, he also knew that he must not go on like this.

Something has to be figured out to boost everyone's morale.

As for how to improve, let's forget about the drama of "The White Haired Girl".

This thing has played so many times in a row, not to mention that Ali, Cang Guan and others are about to throw up, he is about to throw up; but if he doesn't play "The White-haired Girl", Hu Biao also thinks of another good one. Method.

After he got up, he stared loudly at Yue Fei who was looking at the Song version of "Ji Xiao's New Book" in front of another fire behind him, very engrossed.

In his mouth, he issued his own invitation:
"Yue Dutou, tonight is going to be boring anyway, why don't we have a match on marksmanship~"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became excited...
