"This …" Zi Ying hesitated and did not say anything.

Tang Yin was startled, and asked: "Does General Zi Ying have any concerns?"

Zi Ying said: "Master, we have yet to grasp the specific situation regarding North Bank, should we wait for Sky Eye and the Earth Web to investigate before making a decision?"

Tang Yin laughed and asked: "General Zi Ying thinks that the enemy will ambush us at the North Bank?"

Zi Ying nodded his head, and said worriedly: "Zhong Tian and the General of Peng Country under him are not a problem, but Zhan Wushuang is not an ordinary person. Three hundred rafts, even if we don't transport horses, supplies, or food, we can only cross over a few thousand people. If the enemy troops really set up an ambush at Pan River, then the first batch of soldiers who cross over the river will probably not have much luck. "

"Oh?" This was something that Tang Yin did not expect. He pondered for a moment and then shouted: "Someone come!"

Following his voice, a guard came in from outside and interposed himself, saluting as he asked, "Sir, what are your orders?"

Tang Yin said: "Go and bring Le Tian and Ai Jia here."

"Yes!" "My Lord!"

The guard agreed and left to receive the order. Tang Yin also asked Zi Ying to bring the map of the Lishan City over, and carefully examined the surrounding terrain. Lishan City was located on the southern shore of the Pan River and, other than a small pier, was a large densely packed forest land.

Not long after, Le Tian and Ai Jia arrived one after another. They paid their respects to Tang Yin and stood to the side.

Tang Yin asked: "Did the two of you send out any spies to check on the situation on the other side?"

Le Tian and Ai Jia looked at each other and secretly frowned. The latter did not reply and Le Tian quietly said: "Master, they have already been sent out, but they have not brought back any news yet."

Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and said: "We have already been living in the Lishan City for five days, and we haven't been able to scout out the situation on the other side?"

"It's like this, there are no ships in the Lishan City, if we want to reach the other side, we can only swim over, but the brothers under General Ai and I mostly came from the Tianyuan County, it's cold and dry there, the brothers most of them do not know how to swim, there are very few brothers that can swim to the other side, it would be much slower to investigate, we have not received any accurate information yet."

There were not many scouts from the Sky Eye and Earth Web who followed the army, and there were even fewer who were good at swimming, but there were still some who did. Furthermore, the moment Tianyuan Army entered the Lishan City, Le Tian and Ai Jia immediately sent their scouts out.

Tang Yin tapped his forehead, and asked: "Then when will we be able to get the exact information back?"

"This …" Le Tian was at a loss for words. After thinking for a while, he cupped his hands and said, "The army already has a raft. General Ai and I will send some of our brothers to ride the raft to the other side …"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Tang Yin interrupted him and said, "You want me to wait five more days?"

Le Tian's body trembled as he hurriedly said, "Within three days, this subordinate will give sire a satisfactory answer."

"I can't wait that long." Tang Yin squinted his eyes and said faintly: "I don't care whether or not the enemy is lying in ambush on the other side, I will still forcefully cross the river!" After all, Tang Yin had not become the Sovereign King yet. It was too long after he left the capital, and he was worried that there would be changes in the future, so from the bottom of his heart, he hoped that the war would end quickly so that he could return to the capital as soon as possible. Besides, there were a lot of strong generals around him right now. With Shangguan Yuan, Zhan Hu, and such powerful generals, who were unmatched against tens of thousands of people, even if the opponents had ambushed them, they wouldn't be able to do anything to their own side.

After Zi Ying finished listening to his words, his heart trembled as he asked, "Master, you mean …"

"Tomorrow morning, Yuan had his six thousand officers cross the river first, and set up camp at Pan River. After stabilizing the formation, my great army will follow." Tang Yin said firmly.

Zi Ying had wanted to say something, but when he thought about the words that Tang Yin had said to him a few days ago, it seemed like that he had accidentally said it out loud, and thus, he swallowed his words back.

Hearing Zi Ying's silence, Tang Yin laughed and asked: "What does General Zi Ying think?"

"Oh …" "As you see!" Zi Ying's face looked troubled, after hesitating for a moment, he decided to follow Tang Yin's words.

"Good!" Since General Zi Ying has no objections, then this matter shall be settled. You all can go back now, and prepare to cross the river tomorrow morning! "

"Yes!" "My Lord!"

Zi Ying, Le Tian and Ai Jia bade their farewell and left Tang Yin's room.

In the early morning of the next day, Shangguan Yuan had received Tang Yin's order to lead six thousand Tianyuan Army soldiers and prepare to board the raft to cross the river first.

The rafts that Tianyuan Army had made were extremely simple, they arranged the seven to eight long wooden piles side by side and tied them together with a hemp rope. Each raft could at most sit on twenty people, and with three hundred wooden rafts, it was barely enough for six thousand soldiers.

Before Shangguan Yuan allowed him onto the raft, Zi Ying walked forward and warned him in a low voice, "General Yuanyu, you must be careful when crossing the river this time. You must not rush forward, if you discover any movement on the other side, you must retreat immediately."

Shangguan Yuan didn't take Zi Ying's warning to heart at all. He laughed out loud and said, "General Zi Ying, don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Shangguan Yuan had always been arrogant and conceited, and since he had joined the army, he had never met an opponent that could match him. He was even more confident and didn't put anyone in his eyes.

Seeing him act that way, Zi Ying knew that what he had said was useless. He silently sighed and did not say anymore.

The surface of the Pan River river was around five hundred meters, and was over a hundred meters wide. The current was extremely fast, and was not easy to ferry across, so the Tianyuan Army had especially invited people who were familiar with water to steer the river, to prevent the wooden raft from being swept away by the river.

Shangguan Yuan stepped onto the raft, turned his head and looked at Tang Yin who was lying in the horse carriage, he cupped his hands and shouted: "Master, I am leaving!"

Tang Yin supported his body up with his elbow, then smiled and waved to Shangguan Yuan. The latter looked at him and, without further ado, waved his arm and commanded, "Enter!"

Whoosh!

Under Shangguan Yuan's orders, the three hundred wooden rafts left the river surface in unison and paddled towards the opposite bank. The citizens at the helm used long bamboo poles to control the direction of the raft, while the Feng Soldier on the boat used small wooden planks to paddle the water surface. The small rafts glided across the river at an extremely fast speed.

Not long after, the raft had successfully entered the heart of the river, and everything on the other side could be seen clearly. Seeing the calm and peaceful shore in front of them, Shangguan Yuan couldn't help but grin, saying faintly: "Unless the enemy has the gall of a bear, he dares to block our way and take on the edge of our army!"

The soldiers on the same boat as him all laughed and said, "Let alone the fact that there are no enemy troops on the other side, even if there are enemy troops, they would be scared off when they heard that General Yuan had asked for them to come personally."

He was overweeningly arrogant and proud of himself, when all of a sudden, he heard whistles coming from the woods on the other side. Before the Feng Army could figure out what was going on, he saw boulders flying out from the top of the forest and smashed towards his Tianyuan Army 'raft.

"Ah?" There are enemy troops on the other side! " Shangguan Yuan let out a loud cry out of instinct. At the same time, he immediately covered his spirit armor and made the two triple-edged blades in his hands spiritual.

He saw more than twenty boulders flying over from the jungle, crashing down high into the river with a howl, stirring up columns of water several meters high. The surrounding rafts swayed left and right, and many of the soldiers on them were too weak to stand straight, falling into the river. People only shouted a few times on the river surface before they were swept up into the river and lost their tracks.

This was just a boulder that wasn't too heavy, but some of the boulders directly smashed onto the wooden raft. In an instant, several soldiers were smashed into meat paste. After the giant boulder smashed Feng Soldier, it immediately smashed the raft underneath into pieces. The Feng Army on top of it, as well as the people at the helm, fell into the water, and in the blink of an eye, they were swept away by the rushing river water.

For a moment, the people on the surface of the river screamed and screamed miserably. The pitiful number of Feng Army s died at the bottom of the river without even being able to see the shadow of the enemy.

Shangguan Yuan let them go and raised his brows. His eyes widened and his black face turned purple as he roared, "Don't mess around! Don't mess around! "Increase your speed, let's rush to the shore first!"

The opponent used a catapult or something like that. This kind of weapon would not go far. Shangguan Yuan thought that as long as he passed the catapult's range, everything would be fine, but things were not that simple.

The raft that Shangguan Yuan was on took the lead and rushed in front, quickly passing through the heart of the river and heading to the other side. Seeing that the Feng Army raft that was led by Shangguan Yuan was only about 200 feet away from the shore, at this time, the sound of whistles rose again from the dense forest opposite, countless Peng Army rushed out of the forest, their hands filled with oiled arrows. After igniting them, they shot out chaotically towards the raft on the surface of the river.

He had no time to think, he hastily brandished the Spiritual Knife s to block the arrows, he could protect his own body, but he could not protect everyone on the ship. After the first round of the Arrow Rain s, the soldiers behind him had already been shot to death, and even the people at the helm were hit by a few arrows, falling into the river.

If this was the case on his side, then the situation on the other rafts could be imagined. Just as they were about to rush up the river bank, they suddenly became their living target. On top of the wooden raft, there wasn't even a place to dodge.

What was even worse was that the enemy's rocket nailed itself onto the raft, burning the wooden stake. Because the stake was soaked in water, it could not completely burn, but the hemp rope binding the stake could not withstand the fire and was soon burnt to pieces. The stake broke into pieces, and the soldiers on top of it fell into the water one after another.

In an instant, the river water on the surface of the river was almost dyed red with the Feng Army's blood. More than half of the three hundred wooden rafts were instantly destroyed, and the Feng Army that flowed with the waves didn't even have the strength to retaliate.
