After seeing Huishui Bay, Tang Yin thought it was very good. It could be used for his own side to sneak into Zhenjiang. He didn't even have to fight a water war.
To fight is to avoid one's shortcomings and promote one's strengths. It would be best if we could cross the river and fight the enemy directly on land without fighting a water war.
On the way back, Tang Yin said to the old mayor, "the backwater Bay introduced by the old man is excellent. In order to express my gratitude, I will arrange some soldiers to guard the old man's house. During this time, the old man will try to avoid going out, and the food and use will be provided by our army."
He's trying to put the old mayor under house arrest. Since huishuiwan is to be used as a place for smuggling, the information must be kept confidential. It is necessary to control the old mayor and his family first.
The old mayor was a sensible man and naturally knew Tang Yin's purpose. He just asked, "is it too troublesome for your army?" It's all right to listen to Tang Yin's answer, so he won't say anything more.
After saying goodbye to the old mayor, Tang Yin immediately asked Cheng Jin to send orders to the nearby soldiers to surround the mayor's house. They are only allowed to enter but not to leave. If one person is released, they will be punished according to military law.
Cheng Jin personally ordered that the Fengjun soldiers dare not neglect. The Fengjun general in charge of guarding Yingjiang town immediately sent a large number of subordinates to surround the old mayor's courtyard. They said it was protection, but in fact it was house arrest.
After Tang Yin returned to the barracks, he immediately found Lotte and Aijia and asked them to send someone to huishuiwan to explore carefully to see whether there were fortifications and ambushes on the opposite side.
According to the simple sketch drawn by Tang Yin, Lotte and Aijia led their subordinates to find Huishui Bay easily.
They have been lurking here for a full day and night. Through the observation all day, they can confirm that there is no defense on the opposite side, but there are occasional military patrols passing by during the day.
As for whether there is an ambush, because there are mountains and forests on the other side, they can't really see it. If they want to find out, they have to send someone to swim to the other side. But the problem is that the current here is too fast, and vortices can be seen on the river from time to time. If you let people swim past, nine times out of ten there will be no return. At this time, Aijia thought of a good way to release the Falcon to the other side and look down from top to bottom. If there are a large number of soldiers ambushing in the forest, they must not hide from the Falcon's eyes.
If the Falcon is in the hands of others, it is useless, but in the hands of Zhenren falcons who have lived with falcons since childhood and can even understand the Falcon language, it is too practical.
Through the observation of falcons, the ground network personnel can confirm that there is no ambush in the mountains and forests opposite.
Rakuten has already learned the spirit of falcon. Since the ground network is confirmed to be OK, it should be right. After a day and night of patient observation, Lotte and Aijia returned to the coalition camp and passed on the information to Tang Yin.
Tang Yin was overjoyed after hearing this. It was really a pie falling from the sky. He let himself beat Wu to find such a place where the enemy was unprepared. He found all the generals of Feng Yu's and Yu's armies and showed them the place of Huishui Bay on the map.
The generals of Feng Yu's and Yu's armies were overjoyed. They avoided water warfare and crossed the river secretly. In this way, they can not only fight the land war they are good at, but also be surprised and unprepared, and kill Mo's army unprepared. Then Mo Du is like a cyst of his own.
All the generals believed that speed was important and that it was not too late. They should make use of the backwater bay to cross the river as soon as possible.
Only Bai Li Tu frowned, Pour cold water on everyone: "Don't you think it's too easy for your highness Fengwang to master this information? Moreover, the defense line of the Mo army on the other side of the river extends hundreds of miles away from the upper and lower reaches of Zhenjiang river. How can this point be missed? In my opinion, this matter should be carefully explored. Don't act rashly, otherwise if you are trapped by the enemy, it will be too late to repent."
After hearing this, all the people scoffed. Aijia stepped out of the line and said in a deep voice, "we have found out that there is no defense or ambush on the other side. Where is the trap? General Baili doesn't trust our wind army's report?"
Although Aijia is a female, she is the person in charge of the underground network. Her identity is unusual. Even Baili Tu doesn't dare to provoke her. He waved his hand again and again and said, "of course I don't mean that. I just think it's strange and we should think about it in the long run."
Seeing that Aijia still had to argue, Tang Yin waved to her and motioned for Aijia to be calm. Then he asked Baili Tu, "how does general Baili think we should think about the long term?"
Baili Tu looked straight and said, "report back to your highness King Feng. The end will think that now we should immediately arrest the mayor of Yingjiang town and all his family members, severely torture them for confession, and ask him if he colluded with the Mo army on the other side and deliberately set up this trap."
Tang Yin listened carefully and was silent for a moment thoughtfully. He nodded first and then shook his head. He first affirmed: "general Baili's caution is right." After a pause, he changed the subject and said, "but in my opinion, the mayor is unlikely to collude with Mo Jun. I went to Yingjiang town on a temporary basis. He can't know in advance or arrange in advance to attract me. General Baili, your concerns are superfluous."
Bai Li Tu didn't dare argue with Tang Yin, and he naturally had nothing to say. In fact, the reason why he proposed not to cross the river immediately was selfish.
With the high morale of the Fengyu allied forces, once they cross the river, they are likely to break modu in three or five days. Now, the Jade King lingshuang is still on his way to break the enemy capital in the absence of his own monarch. He is only afraid that his Congress will lose many practical interests that can be fought for. This is what bailitu is most worried about. As for what is afraid of the trap of the Chinese and Mozambican army, it is his excuse.
Under Tang Yin's statement, bailitu did not dare to stand up and disagree. Seeing that there was no objection, Tang Yin said, "well, our army will use Huishui bay to cross the river."
At this time, Nie Ze stood up and warned: "king, to cross the river in Huishui Bay, our army's water warships must not be used. As long as our warships move, the other side will be aware of it, follow it, and find our army's intention to use Huishui bay to sneak across the river."
The generals nodded one after another, indicating that what Nie Ze said was very true, and Tang Yin also said in secret that it was reasonable. Nie Ze continued, "didn't your majesty see the raft in Huishui Bay? Our army can use this time to make a raft and then cross the river quietly."
"What general Nie said is very true!" Xiao MuQing said, "as long as our army builds enough rafts for 50000 people to cross the river first. As long as 50000 soldiers of our army can get to the other side safely, it will be easy to cross the river next."
Tang Yin nodded as he listened. When the two of them had finished, they had looked up and smiled. He raised his head and said to the people, "in your opinion, the generals will do so. When you go back, supervise their subordinates and immediately build a raft."
At his command, Feng Yu and the two armies moved up and down together, and the whole army rushed to build rafts. As long as there is enough wood, it is easy to make a raft. With nearly one million people from the Fengyu coalition, it is not difficult to build thousands of rafts.
In just three days, the Fengyu allied forces quietly rushed out more than 3000 rafts, which are enough to transport 50000 people across the river at once.
That night, dark clouds made up for it, and it was dark and I couldn't see my fingers.
At Tang Yin's instigation, the main force of Fengyu allied forces almost poured out, leaving only a small part of Fengguo Navy, the ninth corps and 100000 battalion guards who were not suitable for smuggling. Other soldiers quietly left the camp against rafts and baggage and went straight to Huishui Bay.
6、 It took more than two hours for the army to arrive after a journey of 70 miles. The sky eye and ground network personnel who went to inquire first continuously transmitted the information across the backwater Bay. All the information was almost the same, calm and safe.
After Tang Yin led the army to Huishui Bay, he left a large number of troops in the mountains and forests to hide, sent a hundred war army to take the lead and let 50000 soldiers of the hundred war army cross the river first.
Nie Ze was not vague and took orders. Zhenguo is not an inland country, and its south is also close to the sea, so there are not a few people who are familiar with water among Zhenren. Nie Ze selected five regiments and ordered them to take a raft to cross the river first.
Soon, under the orderly command of Nie Ze, the soldiers of the hundred battles army dragged the raft into the water one after another, and then a large number of soldiers quickly boarded the raft.
I don't know if Nie Ze has foresight. He has a hunch that his hundred war army will take the lead. In short, many people in the hundred war army are carrying leather bags.
These leather bags, including pig skin, horse skin and cow leather, have been filled with air. They are bulging and tied around people's waists. Although they are not large, once they drown, those soldiers who do not know water will not sink to the bottom of the water at once.
Zhen people are famous for not dying in war, but they are really careful in ordinary times to try to avoid casualties in non combat situations.
It can also be seen from the leather bags carried by people that Nie Ze cherishes his soldiers from the bottom of his heart. As long as he can think of rescue measures, even if it is a little troublesome, he will try his best to do it.
On this point, Nie Ze is probably better than many commanders. He can be supported by Zhenren officers and soldiers. Naturally, he also has his excellence.
When all the people of a regiment got on the raft, Nie Ze immediately ordered to row to the other side as fast as possible. Then he arranged for the soldiers of the second regiment to get on the raft.
The soldiers of the hundred battles army boarded the raft one after another, and the raft rowed to the opposite bank one after another.
Tang Yin and others, who stood on the shore and watched, had raised their hearts to their throat and did not blink, staring straight at their own soldiers who had entered the river.
The more you go to the center of the river, the more turbulent the river will be, and the more undercurrents and vortices will be. The rafts are not as easy to control as ships. The soldiers of the hundred war army above desperately paddle the boards in their hands to control the direction. Even so, many rafts are still offset.
