CH 49.1

Xuanjiang River is magnificent, flowing with continuous violent currents, and the whole river gives of a sense of rage.

Seeing from a distance, the Xuanjiang River is extremely wide and long, and it seems to be at a higher ground, as its name says – Hanging River (Xuanjiang).

And the entire area of Chen's Capital is surrounded by the Xuanjiang River, enclosing it in the middle, like an isolated island.

This river is also the source of most of the rivers flowing in Great Chen and it is also the most dangerous one, with continuous violent tremors.

Controlling Xuanjiang is equivalent to controlling the lifeline of Great Chen.

And to enter Chen's Capital, one must cross the Xuanjiang River!

"Your Majesty, we have arrived at Xuanjiang River!"

At this time, after a long journey, the Qin army finally arrived beside the Xuanjiang River.

Suddenly, a soldier familiar with the Xuanjiang said: "This is the narrowest part of the Xuanjiang River, and crossing by here, we can reach Xuanjiang Plain. However, even if the distance between two shores is much less, it’s not something ordinary soldiers can jump through. They can only swim over.”

It is impossible for the march of tens of millions of troops to hide from the opponent's investigation, and Great Chen has long known that the Qin Army will land here.

Because the movement of tens of thousands of Qin troops was too large, every move was easy to be under the surveillance of Great Chen.

And this place is already the narrowest part of the Xuanjiang River, other places are much more wider and difficult to cross over.

If the Qin army doesn’t take this path, then the Great Qin will have even more casualties.

Ying Xuan stood up and looked at the Xuanjiang river.

Although this is already the narrowest point, it is also very far from the other side of the river, so it is not that easy to jump across.

At the same time, Ying Xuan also saw the fortresses on the other side of the Xuanjiang River. They were built with special refined iron and were extremely strong. The barrels of giant cannons were also sticking out.

The giant cannon driven by the origin stone is so powerful that it can directly blast a true qi realm soldiers to death.

In addition, there are rows of average sized cannons exposed outside the bank of the river.

In addition, along the opposite bank, there are rows of cannons exposed outside.

It can be said that Great Chen deployed too many cannons on the opposite bank, which must have even emptied the treasury.

Emperor Chen also knew that when the country was on such crisis, he

shouldn’t keep his hands. Yu Tong's beheading by Li Xin completely broke his plan and even if he has confidence, he had to be cautious.

There are not only cannons, but also a group of archers and crossbowmen stationed at the walls and gates.

Great Chen has already made all the arrangements they could do at their current capabilities.

“At this rate, we can’t pass through Xuanjiang river.”

Ying Xuan said: "Order Bai Qi to come and see me."

Bai got up, saluted and said: "I have seen my emperor."

“Bai Qi, you are the commanding general of this battle. Do you have any idea on how we should cross this river?”

Ying Xuan asked.

“Your majesty, I’ve been focusing on this Xuanjiang river since a while ago, thinking about strategy to minimize our casualties, but right now our army has no other choice but to cross while fazing the enemy!"

Bai Qi said: "Great Chen has already arranged various defenses on the other side of the Xuanjiang River, but Great Chen also knows that although the Xuanjiang River is difficult, it cannot stop our army. At most, it can only be used to consume our soldiers and downgrade our morale! "

"Therefore, the Xuanjiang River must be passed through at all cost.." Bai Qi said.

"I know Emperor Chen's intention." Ying Xuan said.

"Emperor Chen tried to use the Xuanjiang River and the Xuanjiang Plain as a buffer zone, and the capital as the decisive battleground, but facing the strength of our army, it can at most delay our march. However, his purpose is to delay the battle and wait for greater support from the Yunyang sect.”

Bai Qi said: "In the Xuanjiang Plain, I also saw the figures of Great Chen's heavy armored cavalry!"

Great Chen’s heavy armored cavalry was the most powerful country in Qianzhou.

Emperor Chen was even more ambitious than any emperor. He spent all his domestic resources and built a million heavy armored cavalry, with the intention of conquering the Six Kingdoms and completing his hegemony.

But the appearance of Ying Xuan shattered all his plans.

"They’re just abandoned soldiers."

Ying Xuan said.

"The minister and His Majesty have the same view. These millions of heavy armored cavalry is abandoned as their intention is obvious."

Bai Qi said, “Although our army has millions of cavalry, they can’t pass through Xuanjian river without any bridge. Perhaps dragon blood horses can jump across the Xuanjiang River, but ordinary cavalry cannot."

There are only 70,000 dragon blood horses, and it is not enough to face a million heavy armored cavalry.
