    A heavy rain in early summer had just passed, and the water surface of Yishui suddenly became several feet wider. The river was flowing to the east. If you lived in the middle of the river, you would really boast that you could not tell the difference between cattle and horses on both sides of the river.  At this time, both sides of the Yishui River were full of Jurchen army camps and tents. Every night, the campfires were dotted with stars, reflecting in the river, and the Yishui River looked like the Milky Way in the sky.  Such a scene can sometimes make people forget how brutal this alien army that spanned both sides of the Yishui River and bloodbathed the entire Yan land was, and how this ongoing war has only just begun.  cruel!  The Jurchen army and horses camped on both sides of the Yishui River were huge.  The main camps were placed on higher ground some distance from the river bank. This was to prevent the army from being submerged by rising water due to heavy rains and flash floods.  But not too far away, this is to facilitate the army to get water.  And the Jurchen army did not forget to prevent and block the passage of this river.  Needless to say, during the day, the armies on both sides of the bank can watch the movement of the river and can deploy thousands of crossbowmen to block the river at any time.  At night, from time to time there were sentries patrolling the river bank with fire.  And more than ten miles away from Yi County, on the river, the Jurchens set down crude wooden rafts, retreated into the river, and connected them with giant cowhide ropes to form a blockade.  On this blockade of wooden rafts, there are more than a hundred Cangtou pressing down on it at any time.  These northern men lived and ate on wooden rafts in case reinforcements broke through the river and rushed to the foot of Yi County.  So many young masters died tragically near Yanjing, which angered the Jurchen commander group of the East Route Army and surrounded Yi County with heavy troops.  First, they filled the city with human lives to attack the city, and now they are rushing to build a large number of siege equipment, as if they will never give up until the city is defeated.  For the large number of Jurchen troops concentrated in Yizhou.  Naturally, they did not dare to disobey the commander's orders.  But they also hope that the sooner the city of Yi County is captured, the better, so that the army can gain freedom of movement and then continue to surge south. There is still a vast and wealthy Southern Dynasty waiting for them to plunder and kill!  And to capture this city, which is very tenaciously defended and the defenders are obviously capable of fighting elites, the most important thing is to prevent this city from getting help.  Therefore, the Jurchen army and horses put a lot of effort into the Yishui blockade, assuming a posture of not letting a single soldier or a grain of food pass through.  And in the direction of Hebei.  The Southern Army also seemed to be afraid of the Jurchen army gathering here, and fighting had been raging below the walls of Yi County for some time.  But there is still no sign of any assistance.  As the peaceful days continued, the original tight blockade of the river became a little tired, especially the infantry who lived and ate on rafts and were not used to living on the water.  It was inconvenient to raise a fire, so I just chewed some smelly dried meat every day. In addition, it was early summer, and the sun was steaming and the steam was overwhelming, so many people fell ill.  Being on the raft every day, I can't even get the slightest bit of energy out of my head.  Although he complained and requested that people be transferred to replace him, he still had to suffer for a few days, so he could only hold on to the time and endure it.  In short, the Jurchen army besieging the city of Yi County now has only one thought, to break through the city as soon as possible.  Let the commanders vent their anger.  Then it surged southward and bloodbathed the entire Southern Dynasty!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  As night falls, bonfires are reflected on the Yishui River.  The high places on both sides of the strait are full of dark Jurchen army camps.  From time to time, heart-rending screams and cries could be heard in the night, as well as Hulu's proud laughter.  Needless to say, the people of Yan were plundered and suffered endless torture in the camp.  At this time, it started to rain lightly, and a mist of rain and fog rose on the river. In such weather, even the sentries patrolling the river bank became a little lazy.  After leaving the camp in the mist and rain, I walked around for a while, then rushed back.  However, even these patrols still walked along the river bank meticulously, holding fire.  In the rising rain and mist, it was not possible to clearly see the scene in the middle of the river.  As for the defenders on the two wooden raft blockades, they got into the straw hut on the raft to sleep early.  It's raining up here, and it's humid down below, making my bones feel sore. It's not like a human life.  In the Yishui River, two small boats were parting the river and arriving quietly.  This small boat is in the shape of a spindle-shaped fast boat that is common in various moorings in Hebei. In large moorings such as Wenjiawa and Liangshan Bo, fishermen drive these small fast boats to chase water birds. On the water, they come and go like flying.  This shuttle-shaped fast boat has also been modified. In addition to the rear oar, several pairs of oars were added to both sides.  The side brackets hang two layers of cooked cowhide, which are then lined with a layer of fine mesh.  This kind of protection is tough and elastic enough to be difficult to break through with arrows and can also be blocked by flying rocks.  There is another layer of water-grass curtains hung outside the cowhide to prevent fire ignition.  And in the gaps between the hanging cooked cowhide, handfuls of crossbows protruded.  It's like a row of fangs sprouted from the fast boat. Washed by the rain, the crossbow machineThe metal parts are filled with cold air, making people feel chilly in their hearts just looking at them.  At this time, on the two fast boats, the back oar was not shaking, but the four pairs of oars on both sides were gently moving.  It seemed that the first raft blockade on the river was less than three hundred steps away, and the rain and fog made no sound at all on the raft on the other side.  The oars on the first boat had stopped, and several soldiers had already put on the water support. They wrapped oilcloth from the bottom of their crotches, tied it in a knot on the chest, and wrapped their hair in pig urine.  Give it a hard squeeze.  Then they slipped into the river from the stern of the boat. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????? It was Lu Yong who made great achievements by snatching back Zhao Huan on the night of the Bianliang Palace Incident.  With such merit, even though he was initially deceived and participated in the mutiny, it was completely worth it.  Not only that, he was promoted to a minor envoy, sent to the capital, and received a reward of two hundred guan.  It turned out that the newly trained troops in Bianliang were divided into the Divine Guard Army and the Tianwu Army, and Shangguan also allowed Lu Yong to choose which army he would join.  Lu Yong thought about it over and over, and concluded that the Tianwu Army was going to Hebei, and he was familiar with the people in Hebei.  Once you join the Tianwu Army, as long as your destiny is great, it will not be difficult to achieve greater achievements.  Finally, he was selected into the Tianwu Army.  After entering the army, he then headed north and spread out on the edge of Hebei Province.  Lu Yong was among the Chinese army led by Yu Jiang himself. This time, his unit was selected to assist Yizhou.  Lu Yong even invited him to be the first to go forward, and he worked hard to make a great achievement.  Who made Lu Yong achieve such great achievements during the mutiny that night?  Although it is very important in the Tianwu Army.  But everyone looked at him with suspicion.  When they saw him, they all greeted him as Lu Dalang, who had captured the prince.  This feeling made Lu Yong very proud.  If he was just an ordinary person in the army, this fall would be a heavy one!  Lu Yong was a decent man from Hebei Province. Although he knew that it would be difficult and dangerous for thousands of troops to attack Yixian County from the vanguard, he could only stay in front!  But for fighting by the river.  Lu Yong does have some confidence.  Although he made a living by selling horses, everyone knew that Lu Dalang was good at horse fighting.  But little did they know that Lu Yong grew up on the edge of a large lake such as Xin'anjun Wenjiawa on Hebei East Road. His parents were both fishermen and he had lived on the water since he was a child. Anyone who sleeps under the water and eats raw fish, shrimp or even birds is farting.  But swimming three to five miles in water is easier than eating!  After the binding was completed, Lu Yong went down into the river first without stirring the water at all.  Then five or seven black shadows.  Also fell.  In early summer, the river water was still cold, so Lu Yong took the lead with only his mouth and nose exposed.  Both feet stepped on the water, dragging a little water wave and covering it forward.  The two fast boats behind them slowed down and followed more than a hundred steps away, moving forward very slowly.  Not long after, Lu Yong had stepped on the water and approached the raft blockade.  above the river.  Eight large wooden rafts were connected in a line with thick cowhide ropes, and each raft could hold more than ten defenders.  They all lived in huts built on wooden rafts.  Lu Yong¡¯s goal.  It's a wooden raft in the middle of the river.  At the four corners of the raft, there were butter torches burning in the rain and fog, emitting a dim yellow light.  There was no one visible on the raft, but loud shouts came from the hut, echoing in the rain and fog on the river.  Lu Yong, who has always been fearless, felt his heart beating wildly at this moment. He looked back, but could not see whether his brothers were following him.  The explosion has reached such a point, can you still turn back?  Lu Yong gritted his teeth and cursed in his mind, stepped on the water harder, touched the edge of the raft, put his hand on the slippery raft, calmed his breath a little, dragged the water splash, and climbed onto the raft in one go!  The sound of water coming out was extremely loud in this silent night.  Lu Yong's heart almost stopped at this moment.  He lay down on the raft and paused for a moment, but found that there was still no movement at all, and the snoring in the hut seemed to be louder.  At this time, the seven or eight brothers who had just lost sight of them were all climbing onto the rafts dripping with water.  Every time a person comes up, Lu Yong's heart is lifted a little bit.  When the last person came up, the grip was too slippery and not very secure. He lost his grip, turned over and fell into the water again!  This time the water splashed, and the sound was ten times louder than before!  At this moment, the wooden platoon defenders were finally alerted.  Under the light of the butter torch, several strong men with shirtless shirts and unkempt beards emerged from the hut, making panicked shouts.  The surrounding rafts were also disturbed at the same time, and the sound of nonsense shouting completely broke the silence on the Yishui River!  Lu Yong couldn't wait any longer at this time, roared angrily, and stood up.  You can't bring long weapons with you when sneaking underwater, just two daggers.  At this time, they all were drawn out in their hands. They rushed over first and ran into the arms of a defender. Two daggers were pierced into his chest and abdomen, and then they were violently stirred!  The rest of the defenders came out and roared even louder, waving their swords and rushing towards them.  And Lu Yong clung to the guy who was stabbed until he was half-breathed, and at the same time turned around and shouted: "Cut the leather rope first!" Seven or eight figures rushed towards himOn the road, two of them went to support Lu Yong, while the rest went to chop Pi Suo.  These eight wooden rafts are all pierced by a giant log, nailed deeply into the mud at the bottom of the river, and the leather ropes are tied to the huge log that serves as a river barrage, as thick as a child's arm.  I don¡¯t know how much time it will take to cut it off with a long dagger!  Many defenders from the nearby wooden platoon emerged from the hut. Some were waving their weapons and shouting, some were desperately trying to signal the shore, and some were about to draw their bows and crossbows but didn't know who to shoot for fear of hurting their own family.  .  The surface of the Yishui River is actually not very wide. There are eight large wooden rafts in one row. The distance between each wooden raft is only a few steps. There are defenders from the nearby wooden rafts leaping over to join the battle group, and these water ghosts who have touched them will be killed.  Kill and scatter.  As for the camp set up high above the river bank, even though patrols were somewhat lax, there were still people in the camp watching the lights on the river.  At this time, I saw a message being uploaded on the river. In the camp, the horns were whining, and the lights in the camp began to be disturbed. There were shouts and orders everywhere, and a large group of crossbowmen was about to be dispatched to the river bank.  Use strong bows and crossbows to block the entire river!  (Want to know more exciting updates about "Song Shi Gui"?
