Zhou Lang Zhou Lang

Before dawn, there are stars but no moon.The sky full of stars falls on the top of Dangshan Mountain, casting a faint mountain shadow, enveloping everything at the foot of the mountain indistinctly.

To the south of the mountain shadow, the flames soaring to the sky at the gate of Peixian County, the sound of horseshoes, the sound of fighting, and the sound of golden drums are like thunder. In the depths of the mountain shadow, Xiahou Dun's light soldiers who came to rescue Liu Bei in the name of Cao Cao were also cut off by the waist. , blocked in the valley.

Several waves of men and horses fought across the mountain. After Zhou Yu confirmed that the cavalry at the foot of the mountain was led by Lu Bu himself, he immediately assembled his troops, wrapped their hooves in their hands, and quietly withdrew from Dangshan Mountain. There were five hundred cavalry and five hundred infantry. One after the other, they went straight to Xiapi.

Li Mu hesitated for a moment before setting off, and finally, when Zhou Yu jumped on the horse and leaned over to propose, "You and I can ride together", he decisively turned his head and decided to go with the pawns.

She can indeed ride a horse, and she is not hypocritical about the difference between men and women.

It's just that her riding skills are almost completely useless in this day and age.The memories of the last time I "shared a ride" with Zhou Yu were not very good.There are no stirrups, the legs are flying in the air, and there is no support on the simple saddle. The whole body can't help but bump with the horse's back, and the stomach is churning like a sea, and the inner thighs are worn out—the last time I only ran for half a night, and the horse speed was not fast. This time it was a rapid march of more than 200 miles!

What is the concept of a mountain road of more than 200 miles?

Two hundred miles in the Chinese system, six feet is a step, three hundred steps is a mile, and more than 200 miles is equivalent to more than 6 steps. According to the jogging speed of two steps per second, it is a distance of more than eight hours.

Considering the difficulty of mountain roads and the need to hide whereabouts, there will inevitably be delays. Even if it is ten hours, divided into two days, five hours a day is only the intensity of backpacking in the mountains in her previous life. !

What's more, although walking is tiring, 24 hours a day, stop and go during these five hours, anyway, this pair of bones was raised as a man since childhood, and he has a good foundation, and he can run, jump and jump quickly.It is better to go into battle with light clothes and pay for food and grass than to ride a horse with Zhou Yu and end up unable to walk.

With a background in science and engineering, Li Mu has a solid foundation in arithmetic and quick mental calculations. He turned his head neatly and waved to Zhou Yu's disapproving eyes: "My brother led the army and even dared to kill someone himself. If I covet The horsepower is convenient, and if you don't go with the soldiers, what face is there to force the soldiers to rush to Xiapi day and night?"

Zhou Yu told her that Sun Ce must take the lead when marching, and he persuaded her to continue to stand in the name of Sun Quan with peace of mind.Unexpectedly, this sentence was now intact by her, and she threw it back in front of everyone.

He also raised his eyebrows with a firm expression.It seemed to others that she was expressing her admiration for her elder brother, but Zhou Yu could clearly see the half-smile in her eyes—this little girl was clearly holding grudges!

However, on the second day after she set off refreshed, Li Mu realized that she had made a huge mistake—one step of the Han system and one step of hers were completely different concepts!

Although these soldiers were all on their way with dry food on their backs, she had to run and jump for two and a half steps to catch up with them.Watching the soldiers pass by her one by one, Li Mu could only run forward with all his strength, rolling and crawling along the footprints left by them.

It wasn't until the leading centurion noticed that she had fallen behind and ordered to rest where she was, and set off after seeing her catch up—so Li Mu realized that he seemed to have never stopped, and his original estimate of five hours a day was completely invalid !

Talking about war on paper, it's too late to regret!

***

Lü Bu attacked Pei County, and Liu Bei asked Cao Cao for help. After Cao Cao sent troops, Xu Mao followed Zhou Yu's instructions and ambushed soldiers and horses in the territory of Liang State. Lü Bu, who was attacking Peixian County, couldn't go down, asked for help, and agreed to attack from two sides, first retreating Cao Cao, and then encircling Liu Bei.

Lu Bu once took advantage of Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou when Chen Gong rebelled against Cao and attacked his rear, almost forcing Cao Cao to be like a bereaved dog, without a foothold, thinking that he had offended Cao Cao deeply.He didn't think about why Yuan Shu in the south would go around Xiapi to confront Cao Cao, but when he heard that Cao Cao was behind him, he immediately panicked.Fearing that "Yuan Shu" would withdraw his troops immediately and let Cao Cao go straight to his back and let him be flanked by two sides, Lu Bu agreed to turn around and send troops almost without any hesitation.

However, he didn't want him to divide his troops and rush to the territory of Liang State. The "Yuan Jun" who was fighting Cao Cao immediately threw away his flag and drums, turned around and ran away, exposing his few thousand people to the cavalry of Cao Cao's [-] Tiger and Leopard Battalion!

Zhou Yu wanted to arrive before the remnants of Lu Bu's team retreated to Xiapi after the disastrous defeat, fish in troubled waters, and wait for an opportunity to seize the city.

So Li Mu and the others must be quick!

Finally, when Li Mu was about to finish counting the third [-] steps, she saw the sentinel turret with several large flags in the distance standing on the high city wall like fingers pointing to the sky, and she breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as his legs went limp, he fell to the ground and vomited wildly.

This is the body's stress response after reaching the limit of physical strength.The last time she ran to the point where she vomited was when she ran a marathon in her previous life. They were all scattered, and the whole body seemed to have no part of it as their own.

The icy mountain spring split into several streams and flowed through their hiding place. After meeting with the [-] cavalry who had arrived earlier, each team was immediately stationed in various places led by their respective centurions, either to take turns to rest, or to monitor combat readiness. Weapons, or familiarity with the terrain.

Li Mu vomited acid in his stomach, and couldn't vomit any more, so he slowly got up from the ground, walked slowly to the edge of the mountain spring, combed his messy hair again, washed his face and rinsed his mouth.Dust mixed with water flowed from his face to his lips along his cheeks, and the bitter taste mixed with fine sand immediately reached his mouth. Li Mu wished he could stick his head directly into the water.

"Isn't it because I'm not used to drinking raw water?"

There was still a smile in the clear and gentle voice, and a tall and tall reflection fell in the stream in front of him, holding a water bag in his hand.

Zhou Yu arrived a whole day and night earlier than Li Mu, but he never was idle.Where to hide people and where to hide horses, he needs to choose the location in advance.The route of the scouts and the topography of Xiapi City should also be investigated in advance.It is also necessary to cut off the water flow, cut trees to block the road, and minimize the possibility of Lu Bu's defeated army bypassing the north gate and entering the city from the south gate.They only brought dry food for seven days, and within seven days, they must go to the Pi!

The drops of water on Li Mu's face were too late to wipe, and he gave him a blank look when he turned around. He didn't have the energy to speak, and he didn't bother to explain, so he just took the water bag and poured it into his mouth.For two days and three nights without a break, if she had time to filter the water, she might as well stop and rest for a while-it was better to have diarrhea than to hold on without drinking water and finally collapse from dehydration.

The icy water came in from the throat, and the chest and abdomen were instantly cool. A few splashed water and the water droplets rolling down from the face slid down the neck along the collar. She wiped it casually and put down the water bag At that time, he let out a long sigh of relief and was very happy.

Although he was still extremely tired, he finally recovered from the tense rapid march.The whole person relaxed, and drowsiness began to come up little by little.At this time, as long as she hugs a tree, she can fall asleep immediately.

So Li Mu returned the water bag to Zhou Yu, and simply stretched his legs and sat on the ground with his back against the big tree, ready to have a good sleep.

Zhou Yu didn't want to put down the water bag casually, turned around, took it out from somewhere, pulled it out, and put it in front of her: "You don't have enough strength, the long knife is too heavy for you, and in a hurry, I couldn't find a light bow suitable for you. .”

The cut-off small tree trunk is used as the crossbow arm, and the bamboo slices are used as the bow, which is buckled on the crossbow arm with a wedge-shaped cut, but the material of the bow string cannot be seen for a while, it is neither silk nor thread, but it is fastened to the back of the crossbow arm with full tenacity , against a small arrow that is half the length of an ordinary feathered arrow, and pulled out a smooth arc from the bamboo piece.

Li Mu narrowed his eyes and saw that both the crossbow arm and the mouth of the bow were covered with tiny burrs. It was obvious that the work was done in a hurry, and they were made just in the past two days.

"Hook heart, looking at the mountain, string, arrow groove." Zhou Yu's fingers touched the flesh one by one, "When changing arrows, first remove the hook heart, relax the bowstring, buckle the arrow into the arrow groove and then draw the string..."

Li Mu was sore all over, every bone was screaming and aching, but Zhou Yu's voice was buzzing in her eardrums, and before he could finish speaking, she waved her hand like chasing mosquitoes, and stared at him feebly One glance: "Half my life has already been lost to get here, but don't expect me to be able to fight the enemy... Don't forget, my fake Sun Quan is just a little girl..."

"It is to save the remaining half of your life!" Zhou Yu caught the hand that was raised in the air before it was put down, and put it on the crossbow arm. Zhou Yu shook his head lightly and stared at Li Mu with a slightly amused expression. Sorry, maybe it was because of his injuries that he tried his best to hurry on his way. His face was a little pale, but his eyes were so dark that they couldn't see the bottom. With eyes, it is difficult to distinguish between us and the enemy. I will protect you well, but I also hope that you... try your best to protect yourself and help me keep this promise."

Li Mu's brows were so wrinkled that even her face was wrinkled - she really didn't have the strength to move anymore!

However, Zhou Yu pressed her hand on the arm of the crossbow, as if he would not let go unless she grabbed the trigger herself.The tiny wooden thorns on the arm of the crossbow pierced into her palm...

"Let go." Li Mu sighed, turned his wrist, and supported the spear from below.Zhou Yu let go of her hand, and the two fingers of her left hand picked up the short arrow feathers.The arrow point slides into the arrow groove, the string is wound, the buckle is fastened, the arm of the crossbow is raised against the right shoulder, the head is tilted, the left eye is squinted, and the hook is buckled. The movements are skillful and smooth.

Between eyelashes, the feathered arrow left the crossbow and shot out, brushing against Zhou Yu's waist, with a snapping sound, the arrow was nailed to the tree trunk with his clothes corner, and the tail of the arrow trembled slightly.

Zhou Yu will never forget this thin and slender little girl staggered up on the tree trunk, patted the corner of her clothes, and tied the spear and the quiver he put on the ground to her waist. He smiled proudly at him.

"The weight is just right, it doesn't hinder walking, and the strength of the bowstring is not bad, thank you very much."

She lived in the Mongolian grasslands for more than half a year in her previous life, and she has learned the light bow and crossbow. Even though the workmanship of this crossbow is a bit rough, the spring is a little behind, and it is a little bit sticky, but the basic principle is still the same.

There seems to be an invisible attraction for fighting against her. If you give her a bow and crossbow, it is common for her to score eight out of ten rings in the shooting hall.In contrast, the aiming principle is similar, but the recoil is not worth mentioning, and the firing of crossbows is much easier to control.

Zhou Yu could only smile wryly—fortunately, he had prepared a bunch of arguments to persuade Li Mu to use this crossbow, and now it seems that he should persuade her not to rush in: "The range and strength of the crossbow are not as good as that of a hard bow, so in the battle formation, men and horses are more likely to use this crossbow." The charging speed is extremely fast, so don't use arrows at will..."

"Whispering!" being disturbed from sleep, Li Mu couldn't help but annoyed Zhou Yu.But he knew in his heart that he had good intentions, what's more, it was rare for him to take the time to remember to bring out the crossbow for her when he deployed his troops.At that moment, he pursed his lips and looked solemn, stood up straight and raised his hands, and bowed to him in a vague manner: "Sun Quan will obey the general's order!" Before the salute was over, he couldn't help laughing.

At this time, the sun was rising and the sky was bright. The scattered sunlight cast a mottled light and shadow from the gaps in the branches and leaves of the forest. I don't know if it was the refraction of the water on the ground or the light and shadow of the wet water on her face. The girl's dark and clear eyes were curved. With a hint of playfulness and cunning, his long eyebrows stretched, and his hair slightly raised.It was so bright and crystal clear that it was dazzling.
