In the early spring of the 7869th year of the Great Zhou Royal Calendar, this was a season where all things burst forth.

Under the warm spring breeze, the temperature in Northern Ice River Town began to rise slowly. At the same time, the plants buried under the snow could not wait to sprout.

Everything was celebrating this hard-won early spring.

At the same time, the Northern Ice River, which was already able to see the dry riverbed during winter, also welcomed the annual flood season.

Although the temperature of the extremely cold snow mountain would not change with the increase or decrease of the temperature of the outside world, the Northern Ice River did not only have one source. The rivers in other parts of the Hundred Thousand Mountains also had water sources.

Therefore, during spring and summer, the Northern Ice River would also gallop like other rivers. However, under normal circumstances, the fluctuation of water volume would not be as rapid as other rivers.

On a sunny spring day, the Star Moon Army soldiers were riding on the warships that had been cast long ago, ready to drift down the Northern Ice

River.

If they went down the river, they could avoid being blocked by the pass that

King Yu had set up on land.

This was the benefit of living upstream.

As long as there were enough warships, the countries upstream could send troops to attack the cities and countries downstream at any time.

Whether it was the supply of rations or the mobility of the soldiers, the consumption of water was much lower than that of land.

A few years ago, there was a courtier in the Great Zhou who proposed to build a pass in Wing City downstream of the Northern Ice River to prevent the Star Moon Army from threatening the safety of the northeast.

After they found out that they had reached their destination, as the commander in chief, Huang Li ‘er and the others immediately organized people to protect the soldiers on the ship.

This plan was highly confidential.

Many soldiers only received orders from their superiors when they were about to send out their troops. Even if they received orders, they were only told to prepare for battle at the beginning. They did not reveal in detail what they were going to do.

It was only when they were about to set off that Northern Glacier Town revealed their true strategic goal. The buffer time was very short, leaving no opportunity for the enemy to take advantage of.

In order to prevent a long night from having too many dreams.

The Star-Moon Troop got off the warship and rushed towards Wing City in the middle of the night.

In the battle strategy that Ding Yi and the others had jointly formulated, Wing City was obviously a very important city.

This town, like North Glacier Town, was situated on both sides of North Glacier Town.

If they couldn’t take Wing City, not only would the Star Moon Army have no foothold on the east coast, but they might also be attacked from both sides by the soldiers of Wing City when they retreated or were defeated.

This kind of accident was naturally not allowed by Ding Yi.

Hence, the Star-Moon Troop’s first mission after entering the northeast was to occupy Wing City and provide a platform for North Glacier Town to transport rations and reinforcements down the river.

Currently, Wing City’s defense was very strong.

There were nearly a hundred thousand soldiers defending the city, and in addition to the ten thousand elite troops of King Yu’s lineage, the total number of soldiers was close to a hundred and fifty thousand.

These were the numbers of soldiers that the Great Zhou had carefully considered when rearranging the defense of the remaining territory after the loss of the two northwestern regions.

Under normal circumstances, the difference in strength between the defending and attacking sides would not exceed double. It would be very difficult for the attacking side to break through the defending side’s city head-on. Therefore, the Great Zhou had arranged more than 100,000 troops in Wing City, and many of them were elites..
