Chapter 3798 Can't get through

It began to rain heavily, with a violent storm.

In a forest near the Tongtian River, the heavy rain washed away the blood on the grass.

Yes, just before, in this place, the army led by Luo Fengtang had a direct confrontation with the Han army ambushing here.

The Han army came prepared, one was to ambush Luo Fengtang's national defense army, and the other was to support Wu Xiong and others.

Even though they came prepared and laid an ambush in advance, the national defense army fought bravely and defeated the Han army, beheading 1000 people, capturing 500 people, and 1000 people fled.

There were also some casualties among the National Defense Army, and with the heavy rain, Luo Fengtang had to order to suspend the journey and make repairs on the spot.

"General, you can go back to your tent and rest for a while. The wounded soldiers will naturally have military doctors to take care of them. If you do everything yourself, you will not be able to hold on to your body!"

Vice General Xie and Luo Fengtang persuaded again.

The soldiers were injured, and there were not enough military doctors. The general personally went into battle to help the soldiers bandage their wounds.

Such a general is really touching!

But Vice General Xie was also more worried about Luo Fengtang's health, because he had been on the road for the past few days and had experienced more than ten battles with the Han army.

The Han army waited for work with leisure, but their national defense army was exhausted and marched out. Even the general's body couldn't bear it!
Hearing Lieutenant General Xie's persuasion, Luo Fengtang bandaged the wound of the last wounded soldier, and then asked someone to pull up a shed under the big tree where the wounded soldiers rested.

"Fortunately, it was only raining and there was no thunder or lightning, otherwise we wouldn't be able to stay under this big tree." Luo Fengtang looked up at the crown above his head and said to himself.

"Why?" Deputy General Xie asked in surprise.

I lamented how fast the general's thinking was jumping, and suddenly came to this.

Luo Fengtang said: "When there is thunder, standing under a big tree is easy to get an electric shock and your life may be in danger."

"So if there is thunder and lightning, we have to find some low-lying places to hide, away from the big trees." He said patiently.

Vice General Xie opened his eyes wide in surprise, "It's the first time I've heard such a statement. No wonder it suddenly rained one summer when I was still working as a cowherd in my hometown,"

"The villagers all rushed to their homes. One man was too clever not to run away, and hid under a big tree. Before he could stand still, he saw a fireball the size of a fist emanating from the tree, and that man was chopped to death."

"Everyone said that the man was taken away by the Lord of Heaven. It turned out that it was because of that tree!" Deputy General Xie said.

Luo Fengtang nodded, turned around and walked forward, and Vice General Xie hurriedly followed.

Luo Fengtang walked and said: "I didn't know this before. My wife told me that she said that the taller the tree, the easier it is to attract the lightning when it strikes."

Lieutenant General Xie was stunned, and said with a smile: "So it was Madam who said it. Madam is really knowledgeable, and my subordinates have been educated."

Hearing others praise his wife, the corners of Luo Fengtang's lips curled up unconsciously.

Vice General Xie saw it beside him, and his heart was full of emotions.

The general hasn't shown even the slightest smile in the past few days, so when he mentions his wife, it's considered a smile.

Hey, the iron-faced general is actually a good man who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, he spoils his wife too much!

Lieutenant General Xie felt emotion in his heart, and followed Luo Fengtang to a high ground in front of him.

Luo Fengtang looked out of the heavy rain in front of him, "This delay, I am afraid that Wu Xiong's remnants will take advantage of the rain and escape across the river."

"On the other side of the river, it is not far from Longkou Town. Longkou Town has been occupied by the Han army. At that time, Wu Xiong will be able to get the supply of food, grass and troops. After these few days of rapid march, the supply of food and grass is insufficient. We are also tired of fighting, "

"If they can't be stopped before they cross the river, or before they reach Longkou Town after crossing the river, otherwise the subsequent battle will be more difficult!"

Vice General Xie also looked forward, frowning together.

"But General, it's raining so hard that you can't keep your eyes open. It's not convenient to march at all,"

"It's not convenient for us to march, Wu Xiong and the others must be the same, maybe they also found a place to hide,"

"What's more, the Tongtian River is turbulent, and there are many natural dangers on both sides of the river. Even when the wind is sunny, some ships crossing the river are easy to hit the dangerous shoals, let alone this rainy day?"

"It's almost impossible for them to cross the river by boat, unless they take a bridge."

"But that bridge, under such heavy rain, must have been submerged, and one of them fell down and drowned without stepping on it properly, so the subordinates feel that they should not be in a hurry to cross the river..."

Luo Fengtang shook his head: "You are wrong."

"Now we are chasing them, and they are fleeing."

"It's a knife to stretch your head and shrink your head. It's better to risk your life, so they will definitely cross the river first!" He said.

Vice General Xie pondered for a while, and said: "What the general said makes sense, so what should we do?"

"If the whole army allocates funds to pursue them, the wounded soldiers will definitely not be able to do it, and the trip will be delayed..."

Luo Fengtang thought about it for a while, and said: "How about this, you pass the order and pick a team of one hundred light cavalry from the army to follow me to chase down the deserters, and the rest will stay where they are and wait for orders!"

Whenever there is a heavy rain in this mountain forest, misty water vapor will rise in the mountains. This water vapor seriously affects the sight and is not good for the body.

So Yang Ruoqing also entered the cave and lit a bonfire. The light and temperature of the fire could dispel the cold and bring comfort and a sense of security to the body.

"I hope the rain will stop tomorrow, otherwise, I don't know how long it will take me to catch up with my man and the others."

Yang Ruoqing hugged her knees, looking at the pouring rain outside the cave, showing a bit worried.

Wang Dalong picked up the fire on the side, and said: "Don't worry, big sister, if it rains so much, your man and the others will definitely be by the river."

"Tongtian River is not an ordinary river. With such a heavy rain, no boat on the river dares to go to the opposite side."

"The only pontoon bridge is likely to be precarious and has already been submerged by the river."

Yang Ruoqing frowned, "Well, I hope."

"Brother Wang, it's time to change the medicine. Come, let me help you."

……

It was night, and the heavy rain was still falling. When Yang Ruoqing in the cave was recuperating around the fire with his eyes closed, recharging his energy for tomorrow's rain or shine, Luo Fengtang led a team of Qingqi to the Tongtian River in the rain all night.

Luo Fengtang, who grew up at the foot of the mountain, has never seen such a ferocious river since he grew up.

Even though these years of fighting in the south and north, crossing mountains and ridges, and passing through countless rivers and lakes, but tonight standing by the Tongtian River, watching the dark river water turn up several feet high waves under the strong wind,
The reef under his feet was hit by the river water, making a beast-like roar.

Especially the place where the water and the sky meet seems to be boundless, and it really wants to be connected with the sky above.

Tongtianhe, really deserves its reputation, it really can reach the sky!
