Tang Yin was willing to join the crowd in charging into battle, which undoubtedly meant that they had to win and not lose this battle. At the same time, it also showed their confidence in winning. The morale of the soldiers on the raft immediately rose when they heard his words. If even the marshal was willing to fight alongside him, then what was there to be afraid of? Everyone shouted in unison, "Sir, we are not afraid!"
"Alright!" Tang Yin was in high spirits, and shouted: "Today, everyone follow me to kill Pan River, and annihilate the enemy forces on the other side, to avenge the brothers who died three days ago!"
"Kill!" Kill! "Kill —"
Whether it was the Feng Army on the raft or the shore, all of them let out repeated shouts that were like thunder, charging straight to the clouds.
Seeing that, Xiao Muqing, Zi Ying and the rest were secretly grinning, water battles were not land battles, Tang Yin personally went out to fight, if there was any danger, he would not even have a place to hide, the Shadow Shift that he was so proud of, was completely useless. Zi Ying said anxiously: "Master, water battles are filled with dangers, it is better not to face danger head on!"
"Fearful of danger?" Tang Yin laughed, and asked: "What is a crisis? Crisis was the coexistence of both danger and opportunity! Moreover, I have already said those words, do you really want me to go back on my word in public? " As he spoke, he looked around at the surrounding generals, and said in a serious tone, "Don't try to persuade me anymore, otherwise we will be punished for disturbing the morale of the troops!"
Hearing this, Xiao Muqing, who originally wanted to enter, immediately shut his mouth, and the other generals did not dare say another word. Zi Ying sighed, he turned and asked Xiao Muqing quietly: "General Xiao, do you have any large scale siege equipment in your Pingyuan Army?"
Xiao Muqing nodded and asked: "Why do you ask General Zi Ying?"
"Sigh!" General Xiao, quickly get the City-breaking Crossbow and the catapult to the shore! " Zi Ying sighed.
"But …" Xiao Muqing understood what he meant, but looking at the other side, he took a deep breath and shook his head: "From what I see, the Pan River is at least a few hundred metres wide, and even if the City-breaking Crossbow and the catapult were to hit the other side, their power would be greatly reduced, and the enemy forces would be concealed in the forest, which would not be effective!"
"We can't care so much now, even if we have to disturb the enemy for a bit."
Xiao Muqing laughed bitterly as he muttered in his heart: It seems this is the only way! He called the Herald over and told it to return to the camp immediately to bring all the City-breaking Crossbow and catapults from the camp over.
Tang Yin had boarded the wooden raft, but he did not immediately give the order to attack. Instead, he waited for Shangguan Yuan and Zhan Hu to cross the river secretly.
As for Shangguan Yuan and Zhan Hu, the two of them led the two thousand Feng Army, with Le Tian and Ai Jia leading the way, quietly heading to the shallow bank at the foot of East of City.
These two thousand soldiers did not have any armor, nor did they have a helmet on their head. They were lightly dressed in battle attire, only carrying swords on their bodies, and under their ribs, were the long wooden boards that Tang Yin had distributed to them. When they reached the shallows, the soldiers took off their military uniforms, with their upper bodies bare and their shorts hanging down. They squatted on the shore and quietly watched what was happening on the other side.
Ai Jia squatted beside Shangguan Yuanyu and pointed to the other side, saying in a low voice, "Through the past few days of observation, the patrolling soldiers on the other side will pass by a team every two hours." As she spoke, she looked up at the sun and said, "Judging by the time, the enemy patrols should be arriving soon. Yuan told the generals and shillings to hide themselves and hide themselves."
"Yes!" Shangguan Yuan nodded, his two fingers blowing out a sharp whistle that attracted the attention of his soldiers. He then waved his hands behind him, making a gesture of concealment. Following his orders, the two thousand Feng Army s all retreated, hiding in the dense forest on the shore.
Shangguan Yuan, Zhan Hu, Le Tian and Ai Jia also hid behind a huge boulder, sticking their heads out to observe what was happening on the other side.
At this time, Shangguan Yuan was both excited and anxious. While waiting, he looked at the direction of the sun from time to time and felt that an hour had passed, but the other side was still calm and peaceful, without even a trace of Peng Army. Shangguan Yuan asked impatiently: "Ai Jia, didn't you say that the enemy's patrols are arriving soon? Why hasn't it appeared yet? "
Ai Jia frowned, she thought that it was strange too. According to the time, the Peng Army patrols did not arrive for a long time. She was unable to answer Shangguan Yuanyu as she turned around to look at Le Tian in puzzlement. Le Tian blinked her eyes. After some thought, she smiled at Shangguan Yuan and the other two then said, "Master has now gathered all her forces and is preparing to launch a frontal assault with the entire army. Presumably, this move has successfully attracted the attention of the enemy, which is why the patrolling troops have yet to arrive."
Shangguan Yuan slapped his thigh and said, "Then what are we still waiting for?! "Let's cross the river now!" As he spoke, he was about to walk around the huge rock.
At this time, Zhan Hu and Le Tian reached out their hands at the same time and pulled Shangguan Yuan away, saying in unison, "No!"
Shangguan Yuan looked at the two of them in confusion.
Zhan Hu said: "It is very possible that the commander of the enemy troops on the other side of the river is Zhan Wushuang, Master has said it many times, Zhan Wushuang knows how to use troops, even if he is attracted by Master's array of attacks, he might still be wary of our army! We should wait for a while more!"
Le Tian who was at the side nodded his head, and could not help but look at Zhan Hu a few more times. This was the first time he had teamed up with Zhan Hu, and his understanding of him had deepened. Although Zhan Hu looked like a barbarian, with a look that said he had developed four limbs and a simple brain, his thoughts were extremely meticulous and meticulous.
On the other hand, Shangguan Yuan disapproved and sneered, saying, "Wait? How long are we going to wait here? What kind of thing was Zhan Wushuang? "You guys are afraid of him, but I'm not. We have to wait, you guys just wait here. I'll lead my brothers to cross the river first!" After he finished speaking, he was about to walk out again when Ai Jia hissed loudly and said urgently in a low voice, "The enemy's patrol is here!"
Hearing that, Shangguan Yuan immediately pulled back his foot that had already taken a step forward. He stuck out half of his head, squinted his eyes, and looked towards the opposite bank.
As expected, a line of Peng Soldier dressed in red armor slowly came out from the forest on the other side. There weren't many people, and each of them carried a spear as they walked slowly along the shore.
There were really patrols coming over! Shangguan Yuanyang's eyes were fixed on the patrol on the other side of the river until his figure completely disappeared into the sea of trees. He turned his head back, shrugged his shoulders, laughed and said: "Zhan Wushuang is really timid, even when facing our full force of attack, he still needs to send people to patrol the shore."
That was not being timid! It was called being cautious and thinking thoroughly! Zhan Hu, Le Tian and Ai Jia replied in unison in their hearts, but the three of them also tacitly refused to argue with Shangguan Yuan. After waiting for another quarter of an hour, and after confirming that the Peng Army patrols were already far away, Le Tian sternly said to Shangguan Yuan, "General Yuan, you can cross the river now. You have to be fast, you can't stay in the river no matter what happens!"
"Understood!" Shangguan Yuan responded and turned around to wave at the dense forest behind him. Then he walked to the shore with large strides. As he put down the wooden board, his body was covered with a spiritual armor.
Two thousand Feng Army walked out of the forest, and made their own preparations.
Le Tian and Ai Jia were familiar with each other as they pulled out the ropes that were buried under the grass and broken rocks and passed them over to Shangguan Yuan and Zhan Hu. At the same time, they warned, "The two generals, be careful as you go.
"Ha ha!" Shangguan Yuan smiled, he waved the tri-edged and two-edged blade in his hand, and said: "It's fine if Zhan Wushuang is not on the other side, but if he is, then the two of you wait for me to take down his dog head!" With that, he went into the water first. He laid on the wooden board, holding onto the rope with one hand and paddling with the Spiritual Knife with the other.
Shangguan Yuan gave way to the leader, but Zhan Hu did not follow him into the water immediately. Instead, he helped the soldiers on the shore. He first allowed Feng Soldier to lie on the wooden board, then pushed on it with all her might to help the wooden board slide forward more easily. Out of the two thousand soldiers, most of them were pushed by Zhan Hu into the deep water by the shallow water on the shore. Only he had such strength and endurance. When all the soldiers were in the water, Zhan Hu then bid farewell to Le Tian and Ai Jia, and followed the rest into the water.
The two thousand people, Shangguan Yuan and Zhan Hu, were all lying down on a special wooden board as they held onto a rope, and swam slowly towards the other side. The two thousand people were arranged on both sides of the rope, and from afar, it looked very spectacular.
But even so, it was still extremely difficult to cross the river while holding onto the rope. Especially in the middle of the river, where the water flow was the quickest, if one was not careful, the hand that held the rope would slip a little and be swept away by the water.
These two thousand Feng Soldier s all knew some water element skills, and were all strong and elite warriors. However, when they swam to the middle of the river, there would still be people being washed away by the river water from time to time. It would be better if the people at the front and back didn't help out. If they wanted to help out, they would be rushed away.
Hearing the occasional miserable shrieks behind him, Shangguan Yuan didn't turn around but clenched his teeth and paddled desperately in the river, using his speed to the maximum. As the leader at the front, all he could do was to cross the river as fast as he could. The less time he spent crossing, the less danger the soldiers would face.
Zhan Hu, who was crossing the river in the end, was in more pain than Shangguan Yuan. He watched helplessly as his soldiers were dragged into the river one by one, and he didn't even have the strength to save them. All he could do was watch the soldiers struggle and cry for help in the river, before disappearing without a trace.
This short distance of over a hundred meters could be said to be the hardest path that Shangguan Yuanyu and Zhan Hu had ever walked in their entire lives.
Shangguan Yuan let the first one reach the other side of the river, and when he reached the river bank, he didn't even have time to rest. He turned around, grabbed the arm of the soldier behind him, pulled him back, and threw him onto the shore.
He pulled the soldiers onto the shore one by one, while silently counting in his heart. When the last Zhan Hu went ashore, Shangguan Yuan just so happened to count to seventeen hundred and eighty people. Two thousand brothers had lost a total of two hundred and twenty people after crossing the Pan River.
