The Book of Troubled Times

The next day, Cui Yuanyong and Xue Canghai set off eastward and soon reached the river bank.

Xue Canghai's night attack on the city that he mentioned yesterday proved why he was challenged by others. He had stayed here for so long and didn't know what was happening across the river...

The reason why Puyang became a road blocker for the Wang family's westward advance was because there was a wide river between them.

It's called the Yellow River.

It's not a tributary... it's the main trunk of the Yellow River, a right hook in the shape of a few characters, all the way up to the northeast, straight out of the East China Sea. Therefore, the Yellow River does not necessarily mean north and south, but also east and west. This is the case between Puyang and Juancheng on the west bank.

At the beginning, everyone was a Daxia prefecture, and no one would deploy heavy troops on the river bank to defend the other side. Those who rebelled first could directly cross the river without any pressure, and soon their troops arrived in Puyang. When the war briefly subsided, both sides deployed water fortresses along the river to defend themselves. Now it was not easy for either side to cross the river.

Nowadays, in the severe winter, the wind and waves are not big, and the river is not frozen, so you can go boating.

Zhao Changhe stood on the bank and looked into the distance. He could vaguely see the dense water villages and boats on the other bank, and the flags were densely covered.

Everyone's movements here are obviously known to the other side. The ships are now being mobilized. From a distance, they look like a group of ants arranging.

Zhao Changhe glanced at Xue Canghai. Xue Canghai, who was known to be attacking the city on a snowy night, was blushing. He turned his head and scolded his subordinates: "The armor is crooked. You are confused and disgraceful!"

subordinate:"?"

How to fight the battle across the river? Cui Yuanyong has no experience and Xue Canghai is even more ignorant. Both of them are looking at Zhao Changhe and want to know what he is going to do when he says that the bigger the noise, the better. They can't use it against themselves. Let's use the lives of soldiers and horses to make a vigorous move.

Zhao Changhe turned to Cui Yuanyong and asked: "Who is the opponent's general? This should be the more important general of the Wang family, right?"

"This is Cao Boping, who is number 19 on the ranking list. He was originally a lieutenant general in the imperial court, and he is a veteran general who can fight."

Zhao Changhe nodded, not to mention other things, the former Great Xia court occupied quite a lot of positions on the list of people in the world. Just talking about the list of people, Xiangyang Lu Shiheng, Bashu Zhai Muzhi, and this Cao Boping, as well as Cui Yuanyong who replaced him before Zhang Ximeng, etc., who is usually unknown in the world, is actually an official. Naturally, he is not well-known in the world... plus the strong men of the Suppressing Demon Division, the backbones of major families, etc., they can make a lot of money, and the overall situation is better than The sectarians are much stronger.

It is normal for someone who has learned martial arts to become a member of the emperor's family. It's just that it's nameless and scattered, and it doesn't seem like there are many.

"As long as it's a list of people." Zhao Changhe didn't say much, and suddenly he raised his voice and said, "Is General Cao here?"

Across the entire Yellow River, the sound spread clearly throughout the water village on the other side, and everyone seemed to hear someone talking casually in their ears.

Both sides of the Taiwan Strait were shocked. The strength of King Shura was indeed unfathomable. Legend has it that he only gained the allegiance of the Cui family after defeating an ancient demon god in the Cui family. I originally thought that the Cui family was trying to save their respect, but it seems that it is not necessarily true. possible.

Cao Boping waved his hand to stop the chaos among the surrounding generals, and said calmly: "The so-called defeat of the devil is unacceptable. He is ranked second on the Earth Ranking in the Troubled Times, so it is considered to be a throwaway for him. That is, he is at the bottom of the Heaven Ranking, the same as Cui Wenjing in his early years. In between. Two armies are facing each other, and everyone is fighting. It is not possible for such a strong man to decide everything, especially this is a battle across the river. He can't fly yet, so why are you panicking?"

The general's calmness at least made the surrounding generals feel more at ease. To be honest, if it were a land camp, everyone would be really weak. If such a strong man were used as an arrow to attack, the outcome could be determined. It was not as easy as General Cao said. Fortunately, this is the Yellow River, which does give people a lot of peace of mind.

Cao Boping left the village gate to try to respond, but he had no confidence in his own strength, so he walked closer and closer, and then he boarded the bow of the ship in front and began to shout: "What do you think, King Zhao?"

Even though they were so close, the river wind blew so hard that the people on the other side were almost inaudible.

Only a few powerful people could barely hear it. Zhao Changhe asked Cui Yuanyong: "Is it this stupid guy?"

Cui Yuanyong listened like a drink: "Yes, it's him...Eh, eh? What do you want to do?"

Everyone watched helplessly as Zhao Changhe took out a golden bow, attached a golden arrow, and aimed at the other side of the river. Everyone is dumbfounded, what are you doing?

How far is this? Even if you are extremely powerful, what kind of bow can support such strength?

What's more, it's so far away that no one can see clearly, and the north wind is howling, so how can we find it accurately? Are you kidding me?

The other side seemed to have seen Zhao Changhe's bow and arrow, and Cao Boping laughed dumbly: "If King Zhao wants to vent his anger, it would be better to shoot a bird at his crotch, which would be more accurate."

The surrounding soldiers and horses burst into laughter, and this time the laughter spread far to the other side, causing the Cui family soldiers and horses to cover their faces in shame.

Cao Boping himself even grinned wildly, looking up to the sky and laughing wildly, thinking that this would boost his morale.

There was a "strength" sound on the strings, and golden light penetrated through the mouth and penetrated several soldiers behind him. Still unabated, they rushed into the cabin with a bang and made an explosion.

The air was suddenly quiet, the north wind was blowing, and there was silence on both sides of the bank.

"Bang!" Cao Boping fell to the sky, and at this moment, a cloud of snowflakes splashed out from his mouth, like a fountain.

The sky flashed with golden light.

"At the end of November, Xiaohan. Wandong's troops left Xiapi and went north to Langya; Cui Yuanyong's troops left Puyang and confronted Cao Boping on both sides of the Yellow River."

"Zhao Changhe shot an arrow across the river and killed Cao Boping several miles away. Both sides of the bank were shocked."

"Nineteen people on the list have fallen, and the rankings will be filled..."

Everyone looked at the sky with their mouths wide open.

Sure enough, the commotion was so big that it was so big that the whole world knew that it was hard to even think about it.

No one has ever thought that the Book of Troubled Times can be used to do this kind of propaganda. The other party is a list of people, and death must be reported. It is very reasonable... By the way, Wan Dongliu's movements are also broadcast to the world. In the eyes of the Book of Troubled Times, They belong to the same battle and are often narrated together, which makes sense.

This time the momentum has come out, the Cui family and the Cao Gang are attacking Langya, attracting the attention of the world.

But even if someone has thought about it, no one can do it!

When others shoot arrows, the units are "hundred steps" and "two hundred steps", but yours is miles!

Who can shoot across the entire Yellow River several miles away and really hit the throat with an arrow? Is this human archery?

This kind of full power of gods and demons is really beyond the reach of the Tianbang that people think of. With such power to influence the situation of the war, ordinary human wars really don’t need to be fought...

Zhao Changhe looked around: "Why are you still standing there? You don't need me to command the cross-river operation, right?"

"Damn it." Cui Yuanyong boarded the boat and shouted: "The opponent's morale has been robbed, the morale of the army has been lost, and there are no generals to command! If the river cannot be crossed, let's jump into the river collectively! Let's sail!"

Zhao Changhe also added: "Remember to help pick up my arrows. They are made one by one, don't throw them away!"

Cui Yuanyong: "..."

Hundreds of boats advanced together, sailing toward the other side in a turbulent pattern.

The other side stared blankly for a while, then suddenly there was a shout, and everyone abandoned the ship and ran for their lives, and the water village instantly became a mess.

A few taels of military pay, what are you trying to do with your life? There is a god on the other side, beat your mother!

Unless Huangshang comes out to challenge Zhao Changhe at this time, if he doesn't come out, there will be no suspense in this battle. But will the dignified gods and demons come to participate in a river-crossing battle in person? He didn't even think about it.

Not to mention gods and demons, even the Heavenly Ranking does not do this. Apart from Zhao Changhe, there is probably no other strong man in this world who does not regard himself as an expert. He doesn’t even have the shame...

But at this moment, no one would think that Zhao Changhe was shameless. This arrow was so terrifying, it penetrated everyone's defenses, and even those who read the battle report were frightened.

A real shot that shocked the world.

South of Langya, Wan Dongliu looked up and watched the golden letters in the sky fade away. He suddenly smiled and pointed at the small town ahead with a whip: "The opponent's guard must have no fighting spirit at this moment. The first one to get there will be rewarded with a thousand taels!"

In the land of Guanlong, someone received the secret message from Snow Eagle. While hesitating, the announcement from the Book of Troubled Times blinded people.

"It seems that this matter is true... The Cui family and the Caobang are attacking the Wang family. It is difficult to win quickly. It is natural for Beijing to send troops to join the battle."

"The capital is empty at this time. If you don't take what God has given you, you will be blamed for it!"
