Chapter 93 Crossing the River The wind was strong, the waves were violent, and the sound of the water was like thunder when the waves rose and fell.
Lu Luzeng is fifty-two years old this year.
He traveled all day yesterday and was tricked by Zhao Jun for most of the night.
His voice has already become hoarse.
I was shocked by the rumbling sound of water and suddenly felt short of breath.
The morning sun jumped out of the clouds at exactly this time, shining a dazzling light on the Red Turban Army soldiers on the north bank.
The entire Red Scarf Army team suddenly turned into a steel jungle, bright and bright, exuding coldness and arrogance from the inside out.
"Oh my God, each of the ant thieves actually wore an iron armor."
There was a buzz of discussion in the salt team on the south bank.
Each of the ant thieves wore iron armor, and they only had a piece of leather armor above their heads.
Most of them were wearing cloth armor, and some even had no armor from head to toe.
So, who are the ant thieves and who are the soldiers?
"Cheer up, cheer up, the emperor is watching."
Huainan's comfort envoy Lu Luzeng keenly felt that the morale of the saltmen behind him was rapidly declining, and he once again opened his throat that was already bleeding, shouting at the top of his lungs.
His words were once again swallowed up in a rumble of thunder.
Not from the water, but from the long pontoon.
The moment of Qi snatching away from the other side was enough for Sesame Li.
I saw him flying off the maroon horse, grabbing a shield and a ghost-headed sword from the horse's back, and walked quickly onto the bridge.
Five hundred soldiers followed closely behind, automatically forming three columns as they marched, like a silver dragon leaping out of the water for the first time, with every scale covered with the color of the morning glow.
Following Zhizhi Li and his five hundred soldiers were the elite left army led by Zhu Ba11.
Each person was also wearing a suit of iron armor, glowing with a faint red light in the morning sun.
Following the left army was the right army, led by Peng Da, also with 500 soldiers.
Further behind is the Fengzi Camp of the Chinese Army, which is still five hundred in size.
Behind them, there are five hundred soldiers.
Further on, there are Group after group of red scarf soldiers wearing iron armor walked onto the pontoon side by side.
Stepping through the rolling water waves, the silver baby dragon's body quickly grew into a mature man, flying across the waves with its claws flying.
No one was playing drums, and the entire Red Turban Army's position became silent, with not a single drum horn sounding.
But the rumbling sound of water replaced the beat of war drums, accompanying the warrior's legs as they strode forward.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, just like the heartbeat of the earth.
Lu Luzeng's body suddenly stiffened again.
He wanted to shout a few more words to encourage morale, but found that his mouth was open and the scream could not get through the sound of rolling water.
He wanted to raise the sword in his hand higher so that the saltmen behind him could clearly see his determination to die, but his arms were too weak to use any strength.
He wanted to turn around and summon a group of warriors to go up to the bridge to attack, but he didn't know who was worthy of leading the troops on the opposite side.
After being stunned for a long time, I finally managed to hold in my throat, "Bang the drum, beat the drum to demonstrate."
"Beat the drum, beat the drum to demonstrate" someone was indeed shouting at the top of his lungs, ordering the drummer behind the team to beat the huge cowhide war drum to boost the morale of the entire army.
But the order did not come from Lu Luzeng, but from Li Si, the steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion, who came with him to observe the situation of the Red Scarf Army.
Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen war drums mounted on a high platform sounded at the same time, "dong dong dong, dong dong dong, dong dong dong."
"Dong dong dong, dong dong dong, dong dong dong."
The sound of the drum was deafening, but it immediately became extremely thin when combined with the sound of wind and water on the river.
Like a wisp of rootless morning mist, floating in the air, ready to dissipate in the morning glow at any time.
The water flow in the river became more rapid, "rumbling, rumbling", the waves rolled, and the white mist steamed.
Constantly hitting people's eyes and hearts.
"Crossbowman, prepare."
The genius Li Si suppressed his racing heart and issued the second order over and over again.
It’s crazy, Sesame Lee is really crazy.

Without any testing, he led a large group of people and rushed directly along the bridge.
On this side of the pontoon, Huainan's Xuanwei envoy Lu Luzeng was waiting with an army of six thousand.
As if there were six thousand straw puppets on the other side, Sesame Li and the brothers behind him continued to stride forward with a knife in one hand and a shield in the other.
They had covered half of the one hundred and fifty-foot river surface in the blink of an eye, and they were advancing faster and faster without any pause in their steps.
Sesame Li didn't do any testing at all, nor did he make any cover-up.
He didn't even make preparations for retreating after defeat.
Like an angry dragon, it rushed directly from the river.
Once I left, I wasn’t ready to look back.
He was a hawker selling sesame seeds.
He had never read a military book and his literacy was very limited.
But the enemy general on the opposite side was a Jinshi, editor of the Hanlin Academy, and Doctor Taichang.
It would not be an exaggeration to describe him as having a wealth of knowledge.
The knowledge and knowledge of both parties are not on the same level.
Therefore, Sesame Li had only one trick: to lead the team himself and attack Zeng Shuaiqi in Lulu.
One force can bring down ten wisdoms.
The easiest way to fight against smart people is to use brute force.
No matter how many tricks the opponent uses, they will always rush towards the handsome flag without making any other response.
It's getting closer, it's getting closer, the bridge deck under my feet has already bear too much weight, and it has begun to sway from side to side.
The waves on the river were also stirred up by the wind, and jumped up and slapped the man's boots hard.
His legs were wrapped in combat boots, but he didn't hesitate at all.
Forward, forward, full speed ahead.
One step further is the river bank.
"Dong dong dong, dong dong dong, dong dong dong, dong dong dong."
On the river bank, the cowhide drum was beaten so hard that the earth shook.
Sesame Li felt that her throat was a little sweet and her breathing was a little blocked.
He raised his arms, raised his shield, breathed out the air that was held in his chest, and shouted angrily, "Kill!"
The giant dragon that "killed" Lingbo Feidu let out its first roar, which immediately silenced the drums.
However, soon, the cowhide war drum was beaten crazily again.
Lu Zeng, who had come back to his senses, quickly took back the command that originally belonged to him from Li Si, and issued the first command in a trembling voice, "Crow the crossbow and shoot."
"Buzz" A slight neighing sound immediately sounded in the military formation, and hundreds of bright white crossbow arrows flew towards the pontoon bridge with sunlight from the left and right wings.
The shield in Zhima Li's hand was hit four or five times in an instant, forcing him to stop his body first and adjust his center of gravity to avoid being pushed directly into the river by the crossbow arrows.
The soldiers who followed him immediately rushed forward quickly, put up their shields and sandwiched him in the middle of the pontoon, surrounded him and continued to stride forward.
More crossbow arrows flew over, like locusts in the autumn wilderness.
A dozen soldiers who raised their shields with slightly higher movements suddenly fell into the Yellow River.
Being swept up by the rolling water, it immediately turned into a string of red ripples, which instantly floated into the distance.
Following closely, there were a dozen more.
On the narrow bridge, there was no room to hide.
As long as the shield cannot stop the flying crossbow arrows, no matter how strong the armor is, it will be like paper, being penetrated by the sharp crossbow clusters.
Together with the people wrapped in iron armor, they were pushed into the rolling turbid current.
The yellow river water turned into dark red in an instant.
The Red Turban Army soldiers, who had nowhere to hide, fell into the water one after another.
The body whirled and disappeared.
But the plasma in the wound surged up from under the water, like balls of flames, burning the river redder.
Under the sudden blow, the Red Turban Army soldiers at the front were slightly panicked.
However, they could not retreat at all.

The left army who followed the second wave quickly caught up, using their shields to push those who hesitated forward.
"Don't stop.
If you stop, you will be a living target.
Rush to the shore and chop them down.
They can't even wear armor."
Leather armor and cloth armor are definitely not the attire of elites.
Two consecutive victories have created a sense of pride among the Red Turban Army.
If they were wearing iron armor and were defeated by a group of soldiers wearing leather and cloth armor, it would be a great shame.
Immediately, all those who hesitated opened their legs again and shouted angrily, "Ah" "Ah" hundreds of people responded at the same time, as if an angry dragon was roaring.
The speed of the whole team suddenly increased, everyone pushed and encouraged each other, and moved their legs to fly forward.
The clanging crossbow arrows hit the shield like drums at a feast.
Many people fell into the Yellow River and turned into cold corpses while rushing.
But the people behind him quickly took up his position, put up their shields and tried their best to block his vitals, and continued to follow Sesame Li towards the shore.
"Sesame Li is really a lunatic."
Li Si, who was ordered to watch the battle by Tuotuo, couldn't help but shake his head slightly when he saw this scene.
To rush forward with hundreds of soldiers, firing crossbows and shooting, is simply something that only a lunatic would do.
Not to mention the narrow pontoon bridge, which was destined to make them a living target for crossbows.
Even if he could finally bring some of his people to the shore, how could he withstand the counterattack of 6,000 spears?
Six thousand salt dings lined up to fight each other squeezed in from the left and right sides, and with one push, they were able to push Sesame Li and the red scarf thieves under his command into the Yellow River.
Then they blocked the bridge and started shooting.
No matter how many people rushed down the bridge, one would die, two would die.
Sesame Lee is indeed a madman.
He keeps rushing forward without hesitation.
As soon as the guards around him changed, the battle flag above his head was riddled with holes from crossbow arrows.
However, he still held the shield steadily, and the armor on his body lit up everyone's eyes like flames.
"Hey, does that guy want to die or attract attention to him?
He won't arrange a sentinel on the river bank, right?"
By some mistake, Li Si suddenly said something out of his mouth without any clue.
Then, he was startled by his own thoughts, and turned his head to look around in shock.
At the same moment, a scarlet war flag was suddenly picked out from a forest behind him.
Under the war flag, there was a shirtless man, with a steel knife pointing "Kill Two Tartars" in front of it.
"Kill the two Tartars!"
More than 1,600 Xuzhou Army officers and soldiers, who were also shirtless, followed Mao Gui, shouting wildly.
Two thousand-man teams swam in the middle of the night, but only 1,657 people finally came ashore.
More than 300 other brothers were buried in the rolling Yellow River.
But here they come.
They didn't break the promise.
They appeared behind the enemy at the moment when their brothers needed it most.
They are here, and they will never miss their promise in this life
