The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 622 Encountered a surprise attack ([-])

The Yuan River is not a very wide river in the first place, and the location of the crossing in Lu Village was carefully selected by Gai Meng, Xiong Ping, and Meng Xi. The width of the river here is also very narrow, less than ten feet. Just wide.Therefore, Xiong Ping's men quickly built two wooden bridges.

The wooden bridge was wide enough for two horses to pass side by side.However, because the wooden bridge is newly built, the construction is too hasty, and it is impossible to gallop on it.

Therefore, after Gai Meng checked, he dismounted all Xiong Ping's front troops and let the soldiers lead their horses across the river.However, this invisibly slowed down the speed of crossing the river and delayed the time for crossing the river.

Therefore, when Xiong Ping's troops passed by more than 1000 people and horses, it took more than half an hour.At this time, the time was already approaching the fifth watch.

Looking at the speed of his army crossing the river, Gai Meng couldn't help feeling really anxious.He immediately found Xiong Ping and asked him if he could speed up the speed of crossing the river.

A wry smile appeared on Xiong Ping's face.He kept sending people to urge the soldiers to cross the river quickly, but because the width of the two wooden bridges was right there, the soldiers were already crossing at the fastest speed.

Therefore, facing Ge Meng's request, Xiong Ping couldn't do it.He could only helplessly explain to Ge Meng.

Gai Meng could only sigh about this, and he could only be anxious in his heart.

However, at this moment, Meng Xi's heart suddenly moved, as if he had some kind of induction, or maybe it was out of a kind of natural caution.His men and horses are now acting as the rear of the entire army, that is to say, it will be the last turn to cross the river.Therefore, they now have sufficient time to dismount and rest.

But at this time, Meng Xi sent an order to others, asking the soldiers to dismount and rest, but it is absolutely impossible to move around without authorization. Every soldier must be with his horse.

Meng Xi's order actually meant that his soldiers could only rest where they were.Although the requirements were not too harsh, the soldiers set up this row to rest in place, but in fact they were also demanding, and it seemed that the soldiers were required to be ready for battle at any time.

In a low-lying land two miles downstream of the Yuan River where Lu Village is located, there are tall and lush reeds.As the wind blows over the Yuan River, one can vaguely see the shadows of the reeds swaying and making rustling noises.The frogs in the river kept chirping.Not only do they bark during the day, they also bark more happily at night, which is really annoying.

However, there was movement in the reeds soon, and there seemed to be many black figures shaking.But they all acted very quietly, even when they were walking, they were silent, and they even deliberately didn't make too much noise.

In fact, there are quite a few people walking around, but even more people are lurking and not moving.It's just that, like wild wolves, these people have all merged into the darkness in the reed marshes.

But the problem is, in such a summer night, although the weather is already much cooler, it is actually very hot inside the reed marshes.If these people are fine, it is absolutely impossible to lurk inside.

In fact, this is an army with a total of 2000 people.These people are all tall, and they are all wearing thick armor.Most people, because of the heat in the reeds, began to gasp for air.If it weren't for the convenience of drinking water here, I'm afraid many people would pass out due to heatstroke.

In fact, not only was there an army lurking in the lower reaches of the Yuan River, but also an army of the same size was lurking in the mountains north of Lu Village.

Such two armies lurk upstream and downstream of Lu Village respectively. Who are they and what exactly do they want to do?
At this time, a scout hurriedly jumped off his horse, and rushed into the reeds at the fastest speed.

This scout member did not try to walk as lightly as the others did.He rushed forward like this, and the surrounding reeds were rattled by the scouts.

The scout soon came to a general who didn't look very tall, and reported: "General Lu, some of the enemy troops have already crossed the river."

In fact, this general is Lu Dai.Then this army lurking in the reed marshes, without knowing it, must be the death-death army led by him from Luling County.However, there are only half of the death squads here in Lu Dai, and the other half are currently lurking in the mountains upstream of Lu Village.

Although Lu Dai's always gentle face could not be seen clearly in the night, the frowning of his brows was still visible, which showed that he also looked serious now.

Lu Dai immediately called the herald and asked him to send an action signal to the death-defying army in the upper reaches of Lu Village, and then ordered the whole army to release from the latent state.They are about to launch a surprise attack on Gaimeng's cavalry who are crossing the river in Lu Village.

On the other side of the Yuan River, the reeds by the river were also full of frogs.There are also many figures lurking in the reed marshes.

On the river bank next to the reeds, stood a tall general in white armor, surrounded by many guards to protect him.His figure is not strong, he wears a sword, and his eyes are piercing.He was staring at the direction where Xiong Ping's troops crossed the river.

The wind blowing over the Yuan River raised the hem of the white robe he was wearing.This person, at this moment, seemed so independent from the world.Who else could this person be if it wasn't Lu Xun?In the reeds behind him, 4000 of his troops were also lurking.

Soon, the captain of the scout came to Lu Xun to report that the number of enemy troops who had crossed the river exceeded 300.

Lu Xun nodded calmly, let the scout captain go down noncommittal, and sent someone to continue monitoring the enemy's crossing operations.

Soon, the scout captain came to report that 500 enemy troops had crossed the river.

Lu Xun nodded this time, and tightened his right hand holding the hilt of the sword tightly, as if he seemed a little nervous.However, Lu Xun still asked the scout captain to continue to send people to investigate the enemy's situation without comment.

Soon, the scout captain came back to report that his scouts had fought against the enemy's scouts.He suggested to Lu Xun that next, on Luweidang side, there might be a danger of being noticed by the enemy.

Analyzing intelligence is one of the responsibilities of the scout captain, and the scout team is the most important source of information for the army to march and fight, so the scout captain has a special position in the army.Unless they are arrogant and arrogant people, they will definitely pay attention to the suggestions made by the scout captain.

Of course, Lu Xun was no exception, and finally asked: "How long do you expect the enemy to find our whereabouts?"

The scout captain did not give a specific time, but said: "It should be soon."

Soon, in fact, it means that time is running out.

Therefore, Lu Xun said: "We have to wait a little longer. The main force of this battle is General Lu Dai's death-death army. Only his death-death army can barely resist the enemy's cavalry. .So, we need to wait for the signal from General Lu Dai to attack."
