At this moment, everyone wished that the people on the river could float here immediately, not be washed away by the river, nor be shot to death by the Jurchens on the other side.

The riders on the other side also noticed the changes in the river. The cavalry started to clamor again. They took their bows and arrows and rushed towards the river. Several riders might have been angry with the scolding of the other side, and kept riding their horses into the water. They felt something was wrong before they reached the horse's belly, so they quickly retreated.

Most of the riders stopped by the river, and their horses were sank into the water, shooting towards the river surface that was only thirty or forty steps wide. Most of them used light arrows and aimed at the same time. Even Yu Ding and others shot very accurately, and the arrows kept flying around the wood floating in the middle of the river. The riders could see that the wood floated down from the upstream and kept floating towards the other side. If these people were asked to escape successfully, they would be too embarrassed.

Several arrows were barely slid against the wood, and they were very powerful and shot hard on the water.

The fugitives on the shore exclaimed. They just saw with their own eyes that many people were shot to death by light arrows. The bows and arrows were almost lethal to the soldiers wearing heavy armor. For these civilians wearing only thin robes, a single arrow could almost be fatal to hit the vital point.

Amid the people's screams, there was a tick sound.

Li Fang saw the earliest. The few people lying on the log were holding small round shields in their hands. They ignored them if the arrow was shot by a light arrow. When it was hit by a threat, these people held the round shield and slapped the arrow open, or used the shield to block the arrow. The tuk-kong sound was the sound of the arrow shooting the round shield...

"I don't know if it's from my 12th Regiment, or from the Military Intelligence Department, or from Dongjiang Town?"

Compared with the level of spies, although Hutchison's Military Intelligence Department is now more professional and comes from behind, Dongjiang Town really wins because of the large number of people, and they are half a army of Liaodong fugitives who have deep blood hatred with the Donglu. Whether they are scuing the cross over to kill and set fire or poisoning the well, they have no psychological burden to do these things, and are not afraid of death and injury. Although they have done a lot of things in the past two years, there are also many people who died in the Later Jin Dynasty. In this regard, the purpose of the Military Intelligence Department is to not reveal their own traces, not exposing themselves and the organization as the first principle, and then make contributions. Therefore, Dongjiang Town loses 100 people, and the Military Intelligence Department may not lose one person. Most of the personnel sent by the 12th Regiment are recommended by the Military Intelligence Department. After all, they are better than the combat power of soldiers. Compared with the fact that the military intelligence department is more expert in military intelligence.

Li Jian was brought out by a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau, but the member of the Military Intelligence Bureau died unexpectedly in the river, but he survived by chance.

In everyone's eyes, the people on the log raised their shields and paddled with their arms while trying hard to paddle the water. This was originally the middle-swimming place, not as fast as the upstream water. These people should have floated all the way, paddling while floating, and finally had the chance to paddle to the west coast...

"Okay, you guys follow me to save people."

Seeing the log floating to the river, Li Fang felt sure that a hundred steps apart, the other party had to change the heavy arrow before shooting it. He had to be more accurate in his head and had no chance to hurt anyone.

He immediately picked five or six relatively strong escaped men, looked at the direction of the log float and ran over...

When I got closer, when I saw the costumes, Li Ban shouted: "Are you a brother of the 12th Regiment? I am a second-class soldier from the Fifth Company of the Fifth Battalion. Now I am on the field office. My name is Li Fang..."

"Password?"

The five people were already standing in shallow water. Strangely, they did not go ashore immediately, but stood in knee-deep ice water, as if they were restoring their physical strength in the water.

"The command is a giant tree." Li Fang then remembered that this was still the edge of the enemy's border, and he had to confront each other according to the rules.

"Return to the heavy ship." The question was a middle-aged man, in his thirties, medium-sized figure, wide shoulders, dark complexion, slightly protruding cheekbones, and not big eyes, but bright and bright.

"My name is Chen Yan." The middle-aged man said to Li Fang: "You are here just right, come here and help."

Only then did Li Fang realize that these people not only had shields, but also wore leathery men. They could walk in the water with this thing, not afraid of mud and water cold. They were really good objects for floating water. No wonder they could float all the way upstream. If they were wearing ordinary robes like Li Fang and others, they would probably be too cold to move, let alone holding shields and paddling.

"You guys have already arrived ashore." Li Fang said in confusion: "I don't know what else to ask us for help?"

At this time, Li Fang could have seen that these people must be from the Military Intelligence Department. I heard that no one else would sign up for real names for people. They usually use nicknames and at most add a surname. Chen Jian must be a pseudonym. Judging from his age, mouth and temperament, Chen Jian is definitely an old man from the Military Intelligence Department. Generally, pure soldiers don’t like to deal with them very much. It’s not that they look down on military intelligence personnel, but that they feel that military intelligence personnel are naturally a bit sneaky. Although it is because of professional reasons, it is still difficult to deal with people. The officers who have been in Lizhuang before had some misunderstandings about military intelligence personnel. Later, they realized that the Military Law and the Internal Service Department are the ones who deal with their own people. Military intelligence is specialized in external affairs, which has raised the image of the Military Intelligence Department a lot of points. In addition, Wen Zhongfa and Bald are both from military intelligence, and many people in the 12th Regiment know that, otherwise, the cooperation between the military and the Military Intelligence Department is not as smooth as it is now.

Li Fang has no prejudice against military personnel, but he also has a task. If he is entangled with the people in front of him, it will only delay his own affairs, and he will give up.

"We want to carry this wood ashore..." Chen Yan looked helpless and said with a wry smile: "Try to carry some distance in, there is still some danger here..."

As he spoke, heavy arrows had already hit, and several fell into the water not far away, and some fell into the wetlands on the edge of the reeds.

"What good thing is this wood?" A man from Liaodong said strangely: "Is there still a need to carry it away?"

"No nonsense." Li Fang immediately leaned forward and said to everyone: "If you want to have enough food, you have to work hard first, do it."

There were five or six people holding this big tree, which was difficult to get started. Fortunately, it was tied with ropes and could carry it with the wood. Even so, it was very difficult for a dozen strong men to carry it. With the sound of heavy arrows, each of them used their strength to lift it away. Finally, they carried the thousand-pound heavy wood away from the reed and walked to the bonfire dozens of steps away.

Angry screams and scolding came from the other side. It was obvious that the Jurchens thought they had been humiliated... These Han people not only escaped the river, but also carried an extremely huge piece of wood... In places like Liaodong, carrying wood is meaningless, and there are huge trees everywhere. In the Jurchens' understanding, this is a complete and unscrupulous humiliation.

If it weren't for the lack of the tools to cross the river, I'm afraid these people would have come immediately.

Li Fang and others were so tired that they could hardly breathe. The wood was soaked in water, and everyone was soaked in water to exert their strength. Fortunately, the big wood was tied with ropes and used force. Otherwise, the wood was soaked in water, and even a few people could not hug it. It was extremely heavy and powerful and had no place to use it. More than a dozen people were carrying it. When the wood was put down, everyone was half lying beside the huge wood, panting heavily. No one wanted to speak, and they were exhausted.

The same is true for Chen Jian and the others, but they showed good training. They were trying to control their breathing. The more they did not indulge themselves, the faster they recovered. Li Fang should actually be the same as them. But after all, Li Fang is a new recruit who has only been in the army for half a year. Compared with veterans like Chen Jian, the details are still a little worse.

Fortunately, Li Fang learned very quickly. Seeing the performance of Chen Yan and others, Li Fang also began to try to control his breathing and make his breathing more evenly as much as possible.

Sure enough, after controlling the control, the feeling of burning in the chest was much lessened. At this time, Chen Yan and others had already stood up. They looked around and were obviously preventing Donglu from coming to attack. Although Donglu didn't have much to cross the border, it was not completely gone after all.

It was not until dark and after confirming safety, Chen Yan and others walked to the campfire, took off their skin, baked their clothes and changed into dry clothes.

"Are you so big wood? Do you need our help?" Li Fang walked to the fire beside Chen Yan's side and sat cross-legged. Mars burst out in front of him, but everyone tried to get closer to the fire. It was still below zero in March in Liaodong. There were no stars in the sky today, and it might snow even if it was done.

"It doesn't have to be." Chen Yan said in a relaxed tone: "The sledge team will come tomorrow morning."

Although the snow on the flat ground has melted, most of the traffic between the mountains is unicycle and horse sledge. The ice period of mountain roads is at least half a year. In winter, even the "trail eyes" are buried by snow. If you want to transport a small amount of supplies in the near distance, you can use a small cart, but it is difficult to push. If you have more than a few miles away, you usually use dogs and sledges. If you have a longer road, you can use a horse sledge.

Li Fang glanced at Mutou and said, "I'm afraid I'll use a lot of horses."

"At least eight." Chen Yan completed the task and his mentality was relatively relaxed. He smiled and said, "This is the second one we pulled. We used fewer horses last time, so we had to push the sledge all the way. He was so tired that he didn't straighten his waist after three days of going back."

Li Fangtou was cheated and didn't dare to inquire anymore.

Of course he was very curious about what these woods were used for, but it might involve military secrets, and the consequences of inquiries may be very serious.

"You will know when you go back." Chen Yan was half lying on the ground. After an hour, he was on the police whistle. At this time, he still took a quick rest. They could go to a deep sleep in just a few breaths, which was also the result of training. Before going to bed, he said to Li Fang: "You probably don't know the most important task of the Military Department this year, but you can tell you in advance."

Chen Jian's mouth tilted, Li Fang was shocked and whispered: "Is it this wood?"
