    Chapter 24: Crossing the River (3) The phosphorus fire rose little by little from the Baigou River battlefield, floating in the air.  Looking around, I didn't know how many bodies were lying there in the darkness.  The smell of corpses floated over in waves, as if there was no other smell between heaven and earth.  There are traces of the last battle everywhere, including broken blades and broken oars.  Every step he took seemed to step on something.  Along the way, Xiao Yan also saw a whole group of Song troops, all facing north. Even the mounts on their crotches were shot into hedgehogs. They were hit by so many arrows that when they fell down, they were all covered in dense arrow feathers.  Stay off the ground!  This team of Song soldiers held the pewter pole spears in their hands until death.  Yue Fei looked at it and just whispered: "Ms. Yang's white soldiers!" Standing sideways in it, it was like a ghostland.  Xiao Yan had a cloth wrapped around his face, only his eyes exposed.  He had seen the battlefield of Baigouhe from a distance, but in this ancient battlefield, every step he took and every place he passed gave him a strong sense of unreality.  There are millions of corpses lying on the ground. It¡¯s so tragic that if you don¡¯t live in it, you can¡¯t imagine it at all!  A group of people led their horses and walked carefully through the battlefield. The phosphorus fire reflected everyone's face in a blue color.  Here, it seems like you can even forget to breathe.  Not far from the place where the most brutal battle had taken place, there were floating bridges on the left and right sides of the Baigou River. It was no more than three or four miles away from Xiao Yan and the others.  There were blazing torches on the bridge, illuminating the water near the pontoon with a red light.  Rows of long wooden piles placed sideways were propped up under the bridge. This was a device to prevent fire ships from drifting down from the upstream and burning the bridge.  There are fires on both sides of the pontoon bridge. The Liao soldiers guarding the pontoon are talking and laughing in low voices around the fires.  These figures that are shining brightly are not the most terrifying thing.  The most terrifying thing is those Liao people who are hiding in the darkness, one man and two horses, carrying a bow and holding a knife, without armor, and coming and going like the wind, standing guard at a distance!  Only the battlefield with corpses lying on both sides of the Baigou River stretching out for dozens of miles would allow them to get out of the way!  ??The sound of rushing water from Baigou River finally came from ahead. Baigou River is not very wide, and the river beach is also very narrow.  The people in front stopped there, and the people behind followed them. Although there were only about twenty people, they were still a very conspicuous group on the river beach.  Although the horses were all well-trained and had medals in their mouths, the snorts of the horses still seemed to be heard far away!  ??Everyone is tensed up at this time.  Xiao Yan only felt that his legs were weak. At this time, he only had one thought. Was he right or wrong to take the little mute?  At this time, Xiao Yan felt that he was sweating coldly, and his clammy palms felt warm, but the little mute's little hand came over.  Looking back, I could only see the little mute¡¯s star-like eyes.  Along the way, the little mute was silent and just followed closely.  Maybe the little mute is stronger than I thought Xiao Yan held the little mute's hand and gave her a forced smile.  On the river beach where they were, there were also some remnants of the pontoon bridge erected by the Song Army that day. This pontoon bridge had been burned. Except for a bridge deck with wooden piles near the river beach, the bridge deck supported by boats in the center of the river had long since disappeared.  Next to the remaining bridge piles, there are still several half-decomposed corpses hanging.  Guo Rong waved her hand slightly, and one of his men had already entered the water silently and put a rope made of cowhide on the remaining bridge pile.  Then they watched the men separate from the water and swim towards the opposite side. Everyone saw that he was disappearing in the darkness. The sound of the water seemed to ring in everyone's heart!  Everyone looked at the Liao Army pontoon bridge in the distance on both sides from time to time, and then looked ahead.  I don't know how long it took before I saw the long leather rope shaking, slowly being pulled up from the river, and then fixed.  Guo Rong urged Bai Ying down to the river without hesitation, touched the leather rope, and tried hard to see if it was firm. She turned around and made a useful gesture to everyone, then held the leather rope with both hands and headed towards the other side of the river.  go.  Although the Baigou River is not wide, the water flow is very fast in summer. The majestic white eagle is washed away by the water from time to time. Guo Rong firmly pulls the leather rope to ensure the straight forward direction.  I saw her crossing her hands and moving forward, and in the blink of an eye, less than half of the time had passed.  The knights of the Ever Victorious Army went down to the river one after another. Xiao Yan lined up in the middle, and the little mute followed closely behind him.  Among the few people, Niu Gao turned out to be the most water-loving. He followed the little mute, ready to help at any time.  Xiao Yan rode his horse into the water, and felt the cold water seeping into his texture.  I couldn't help but trembled, and looked back at the little mute. The little mute was still trying hard to smile at me.  The horse had to cross the river, but it couldn't bear the weight, so the little mute had to rely on himself.  She can only make arrangements before and after to protect the people who take care of her.  Pulling the leather rope forward for a few steps, the strong horse finally disappeared from my crotch.In the river, he held his head high on the water and swam with his four hooves.  Xiao Yan originally thought that Guo Rong and the others were too careful when pulling up the leather rope. Horses can already swim!  Riding on a horse, we passed by in a leisurely manner.  Who would have thought that after entering the water, he would understand that the undercurrent of the Baigou River was so rapid that the people and horses were a little uncertain in it.  It keeps deviating from the direction. If the leather rope is not fixed, who knows where it will slide!  If you get a little closer to the floating bridge on both sides, you might be able to spot it!  The cold river water kept hitting the body and face, and the strong horse was paddling hard in the water. The horse's head was swinging uneasily. It wanted to neigh but was blocked by its bit, and it just kept moving forward desperately.  While I was there, I felt that the sound of paddling was astonishingly loud!  The hand holding the cowhide rope was bruised and sore, and my arms felt sore and numb all of a sudden.  Can the little mute hold on?  Xiao Yan tried his best to turn around and go back, and saw the little mute pulling the leather rope hard and following her closely. Her two thin arms were just trembling. When she saw her turning back, she was still in the mood to smile.  Then he turned back and took a deep look at the mountains and rivers behind him.  Everything around her was too dark, and Xiao Yan couldn't see what was in her eyes when she turned back.  I don't know how long it took, but Xiao Yan felt his body tremble, but the horse under his crotch stepped on the bottom of the river. The strong horse stepped on the mud at the bottom of the river and struggled forward. The sound of the water was much louder than the sound it brought up just now, almost.  It is stumbling forward.  Xiao Yan was already soaked, but there seemed to be a fire burning in his heart.  This is the Song Dynasty!  After traveling to this era, I finally set foot on the land of the Song Dynasty!  This is the most prosperous and prosperous place in the dark world of the Middle Ages.  This is also called a place of weakness and poverty.  This is a place that makes countless future generations of history readers fascinated, and also makes countless future generations of history readers sigh with regret!  It is said that after Yashan, there will be no China.  So what should the real China look like?  Since we are already living in this era, it is really difficult to have a sense of belonging to the Liao Kingdom.  But this Song Dynasty was the place where I naturally thought I should settle down and live my life!  ¡ª¡ªThis has nothing to do with reason, it is purely emotional.  The strong horse stepped on the river bank with its front hooves, jumped hard, and was already on the river beach.  On the river beach, Guo Rong and the others had already dismounted and waited, frowning just watching the situation of crossing the river.  Seeing Xiao Yan coming up, it was obvious that Guo Rong and the others were relieved. After all, they were all supporting characters in this trip, and only Xiao Yan was the protagonist!  Several victorious soldiers rushed up and helped Xiao Yan dismount.  After Xiao Yan came down, he broke away from their hands and just looked back at the little mute.  The little mute's hands were already shaking desperately. Niu Gao grabbed the leather rope and desperately wanted to get closer to help her.  But the man was in the water, but the horse didn't obey the command, and he couldn't get ahead no matter what.  He was so anxious that he just widened his eyes, but he couldn't shout out.  Seeing this, several Changsheng soldiers jumped into the water and reached out desperately to pick up the little mute.  But at this moment, the little mute raised his head, smiled in Xiao Yan's direction, and let go of his hand.  With a plop, Xiao Yan jumped into the river without thinking. He jumped out with all his strength and got out quite far.  He stretched out his hand and grabbed it desperately, and he caught a leather rope in his hand, which was the little mute's horse reins!  Then his body tightened and he was grabbed by several big hands.  He dragged them desperately towards the shore.  The little mute hugged the horse's neck tightly, held Xiao Yan's hand in the water, and moved his lips as if he wanted to say something.  Xiao Yan had no intention of paying attention at this time. With the help of others, he paddled desperately and just walked towards the shore.  The loud sound of water finally alerted the Liao troops on the pontoon a few miles away on both sides, and they saw small figures standing up and looking hard this way.  Some people were still running around on the bridge, lighting more torches.  In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yan had been pulled ashore. What caught his eye was Guo Rong's pretty and angry face: "You are stupid! The little mute has no strength. It was right to let go of the horse's neck and keep silent. She  We are almost reaching the shore, how far can we float? You just pulled me back. What kind of hero do you think you are?"  Did I do something wrong?  No one taught me Xiao Yan was lying there naked, and before his mind could turn around, Guo Rong picked him up: "Get on your horse, get ready to go!" The rest of the people crossing the river were also picked up by Guo Rong.  Speeding up, Guo Rong and the others just mounted their horses and looked anxiously at the uneasy noises of the pontoons on both sides.  The torches are burning more and more, already illuminating the place.  The little mute also came ashore, but looked at Xiao Yan with an apologetic look.  Yue Fei and Niugao all came over and had already drawn the long sword in their hands.  Just waiting uneasily.  From the pontoon in the distance, a shout finally came, reaching over and hitting everyone's heart!  The man from the Victory Army who was still in the middle of the river waved his hands vigorously: "Miss, let's go!" Guo Rong held her horse there with a white face, just waiting for the last person to finish crossing.  Xiao Yan looked at her. Guo Rong was the daughter of Pharmacist Guo.?, the sassy and affectionate place is actually better than a man!  The final wait was so long that it seemed like it would last forever, when the last horse finished crossing and shook its head to shake the water.  Guo Rong had already whispered: "Let's go!" Then she glared at Xiao Yan fiercely: "Idiot!"
