Chapter 150 Crossing the River in a Rainy Night

It was June 28th, and it was approaching evening. Sun En's army looked up at the sky. Wei Feng was also standing outside the tent to pay attention to the changes in the celestial phenomena. Compared with the rapid fluttering of the white clouds before, the wind had increased significantly at this moment. The flags were blown and the sky was rolling. The dark clouds were piled up and thickened layer by layer at the speed only visible to the naked eye!

"Bang!" A drop of water drops as big as beans fell on his feet, stirring up a small bunch of dust. Wang Daolian exclaimed: "General, it's finally raining. Should Sun En leave tonight? But... If he didn't expect that he missed the opportunity in vain, what should he do?"

"This..." Wei Feng hesitated for a moment and shook his head firmly: "Impossible. Even if Sun En reacts stupidly, how could Lu Xun and Xu Daofu not remind him? He will definitely leave tonight. We must also prepare. The hurricane comes and goes quickly. Once the wind and rain weakens, we will immediately cross the river to rescue General Xie!"

Everyone thought, this is not to go to rescue, but to worry that Xie Yan will escape by chance and secretly attack? But no one will expose it.

Zhang Ning asked in a fake way: "General, should you recall the scout when you see the hurricane? It's a storm outside, and the brothers are working very hard. I thought that Sun En would not come to rob the camp tonight."

"Well~~" Wei Feng nodded seriously: "That's right, let all the brothers come back. Pay attention to strengthening the defense of the camp, and don't happen unexpectedly!"

"As for your order!" Zhang Ning bowed and ran out quickly. Wei Feng also waved the crowd and led Wang Daolian and Chen to his tent.

The night is deepening little by little, and the rain is getting stronger and stronger. Although the camp has been reinforced, it is still blown up like balloons and blowing up by the strong wind, as if it will explode at any time. The ears are filled with howling wind and rustling rain. There is a water curtain between the sky and the earth. The eyes can only see a distance of two or three meters. This is indeed a typhoon passing through!

Wang Daolian felt a little worried and couldn't help asking: "General, two years ago, whenever a hurricane hit, I stayed at home, with doors and windows closed, and I didn't feel that deep. I think the surface of Zhejiang River should be rolling. If Sun En dared not take the risk of crossing the river, wouldn't that plan be wasted?"

Wei Feng shook his head and laughed, "This is Sun En's only chance to turn defeat into victory. How could he give up? Even if there is a sea of ​​fire ahead, he has to go there! Okay, don't pay attention to him. You can't do anything except go to bed on a rainy day. Come on, Wang Daolian, let's go to bath and girl Chen first, why are you running?"

"Oh!" Wang Daolian's pretty face turned slightly red, and he generously untied Wei Feng's clothes. Young Girl Chen stopped the steps she was about to take and habitually tied a piece of white cloth to her waist.

Taking advantage of the wind and rain, Wei Feng had to find some work for his two brothers. In Sun En's camp, although Lu Xun analyzed two important reasons why Wei Feng would never attack, Sun En was always worried. There was something wrong with everything. But after he arrived outside the tent, he was no longer worried. The wind and rain were strong, the bows and arrows could not be used, and the torches could not be lit. Except for the occasional lightning that would illuminate the night sky, it was a vast area of ​​darkness several feet away. Even if he had to speak, he could barely hear it. How could he fight? I'm afraid that there would be no other person except himself.

In the rain, the open spaces in the camps were crowded with people. Although they were blowing wind and rain, fortunately, they didn't feel cold in summer, but they were refreshed. All the supplies were discarded, and each person only carried the most basic combat weapons and leftover dried fish. All those who should have mobilized before were mobilized. The whole army knew that this was the last chance to turn defeat into victory. Moreover, taking over the excellent equipment of the imperial guards will greatly improve their combat effectiveness!

The ranks of people were very dense, and only more than 2,000 remaining personal troops were scattered into each team. Everyone held their arms in the team. On the one hand, it was to prevent someone from escaping secretly, and on the other hand, it was also to facilitate walking in the wind. Sun En narrowed his eyes and looked at it, then waved his hand. Then, from front to back, there were people waved, and the entire army was struggling to move towards the riverside with 70,000 people.

Thirty miles away, according to the normal walking speed of humans, an hour and a half was more than one and a half years. With the rumble of scattered winds blowing down the woods, Sun Enjun took nearly two and a half hours to reach the sea defense base on the south bank of Zhejiang.

The rain formed runoffs on the surface of the sea defense barrier, and gathered into a large turbulent stream at the bottom. Everyone was walking waist-deep water to climb to the top of the sea defense barrier, and was shocked! With the light of lightning, you can see that the river surface was boiling like a boil, and waves about twelve slammed the embankment. Although the ships were anchored, they were tightly tied to the shore by several thick ropes. At the same time, according to Sun En's request, every three to five ships were tied horizontally to resist the wind and waves, but they still bumped repeatedly with the waves up and down.

On the boat, the sailors who had been greeted were struggling to put the sampan on the embankment, but due to the continuous bumps, a considerable part of them fell into the river and were held upwards by the sea tide!

Lu Xun gasped, this was purely a life-threatening thing! He immediately called out loudly: "General, can we get on the boat? Can we get to the other side after we get on?"

Sun En was also a little lacking in confidence, but he forced himself to hold on and pulled his neck and shouted: "You can go up even if you can't go up. This is our last chance. It's better to drown in the river than to be beheaded by the court. Go up! If you wince and fail to get in the former, behead you!"

As he said that, Sun En gritted his teeth and was the first to step onto the sampan. The sampan was extremely slippery and swayed with the hull, as if walking on the edge of a cliff. Sun En hugged his waist, supported the sampan with his long sword, and moved forward step by step, causing everyone's palms to sweat.

Fortunately, although Sun En was old, his physical strength was not inferior to that of young people. His body swayed in a corresponding position as the sampan swayed, and the height of the embankment was almost the same as the hull, which also saved a lot of trouble. In Bibujing's heart, Sun En was taken to the ship by sailors as soon as he approached the ship.

Sun En quickly turned around and waved his hands repeatedly, signaling the people on the shore to speed up. With the leader taking the lead and the personal army urging, the entire army lined up and walked on the ship in sequence, but not everyone could get on the ship safely. Some soldiers slipped their feet and fell straight into the river. Some people were unlucky to be rushed by the waves and rushed down alive. The surging river surface did not even roll up, and they ruthlessly swallowed everyone who was pounced on it!

The people who boarded the boat looked shocked. They grabbed all the objects they could catch and moved slowly towards the ship warehouse. After nearly an hour, there was no one on the embankment. The sailors waved their axes and cut off the ropes, and then pulled the anchor together. They saw rows of ship shadows leaving the shore at an extremely fast speed, and some even struck horizontally!
