The next day, meals were cooked at the usual time intervals. After the meal, the soldiers received the order to immediately pack up their equipment and launch the attack on time. The 20,000-strong army suddenly became excited.
Although he only stayed at Fengling Ferry for a few days, Dadu held his breath and thought that while he was going on an expedition in southern Xinjiang, the dignitaries in the imperial city were plotting against him.
Killing back Huangcheng and overthrowing the new emperor is the unanimous goal of the 80,000-strong army.
Just like the Generalissimo and the National Master.
At three o'clock in the morning, Li Ye, Jiang Huo, Xia Wutong and Mu Mu arrived at the riverside.
Li Ye and Mu Mu thought about it a lot, but in the end they were shocked by the majestic army by the river.
I saw almost 400 rafts lined up along the river. If there were thirty people on each raft, the army could pass through 12,000 people at one time!
Twenty thousand horses and more than half can be passed in one go.
Looking at Jiang Huo, Li Ye said with a smile: "Jiang Shuai and we divide the work. We each command two hundred ships. Look at the flags on our ships and attack together!"
Jiang Huo looked at him and replied: "It all depends on the command of the national master."
At this time, the eldest prince, Xia Yunlan, Tang Qiushi and others also came to Jiang. They looked at Li Ye and others and said, "Be careful and protect yourself."
Li Ye nodded and said with a smile: "Our frontal attack is the least dangerous! Don't worry!"
After saying that, he and Jiang Huo stepped onto different rafts, and Xia Wutong and Mu Mu followed Li Ye.
The four hundred rafts were already filled with troops, all holding hand slaves and looking at Li Ye with excitement and shouting.
"The national master is mighty! The army will win!"
"The national master is mighty! The army will win!"
Li Ye, who stood on the raft, looked at the army around him and waved quietly: "Soldiers, are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid! We are not afraid!"
"Don't be afraid! It's them who are afraid!"
Everyone on the raft roared in unison.
"We're going to cook on the other side at noon, okay!" Li Ye shouted again.
"Cross the North Shore and start cooking!"
"Cross the North Shore and start cooking!"
"Shout your voice, beat your war drums, and let's go!" Li Ye waved his hand, and the flag bearer beside him raised the red flag!
In an instant, hundreds of boats on the Fuchun River launched together, thousands of drums sounded, and thousands of people blew!
Four hundred rafts rushed towards the north shore at a uniform speed!
Seeing the troops on the south bank, their blood boiled and they wished they could go forward together with their brothers.
Seeing that the eldest prince slapped Xia Yunlan hard on the shoulder, he cursed: "You didn't let me go?"
Tang Qiuyu had never been in an excited mood. This scene was probably the first time in her life, and it had already exceeded the shock that the battle outside Nanyun City had brought to her!
On the Fuchun River, four hundred huge rafts were lined up neatly. From bottom to top, the battlefield spread out for several miles. Thousands of war drums were beating in unison and thousands of people were roaring. She felt that her heart was about to beat. come out.
If it weren't for the safety of the eldest prince, she would have rushed forward.
The north wind blows gently and the war drums beat wildly!
The southern Xinjiang army headed towards the north bank with an unstoppable offensive!
...
Linghu Zhen and Ma Baoyun on the north bank did not wait for the sergeants to report, and came to the riverside early to supervise the battle.
Seeing the destructive posture on the river, Linghu Zhen shouted coldly: "Pour all the kerosene on the river into the water on the shore, and wait for my order to light it!"
Like Li Ye, he also likes to use fire attacks.
Ma Baoyun looked at the guards beside him and shouted: "Follow the general's orders, right away!"
For a time, thousands of barrels of kerosene were poured into the river on the north bank of the river by the army. There were even soldiers who lit torches and were ready to throw the kerosene into the water and light the kerosene at any time.
"Pile the prepared hay on the shore and pour kerosene on it!" Linghu Zhen continued to order!
"Move the hay to the shore and pour the kerosene on it!"
"Move the hay to the shore and pour the kerosene on it!"
"All archers prepare, shield formation prepares!" Linghu Zhen is the leader of the Forbidden Army after all. Even though he has never fought, he does a lot of training on weekdays.
"All archers are ready, shield formation is ready!"
I saw the shore full of soldiers holding shields and bows and arrows, lined up along the river.
After running away for several days, only less than 30,000 of the 50,000-strong army remained.
Even if there are 30,000 troops, one army lined up by the river is still very spectacular!
"Don't panic, they are in the water and we are on the shore. When they get close, we will shoot again!" Linghu Zhen looked at Ma Baoyun and said quietly.
"That's right! We have an advantage! If the kerosene is ignited, it would be strange not to burn them to death!" Ma Baoyun said with a smile.
"Blow the drums! Sound the trumpets and show off our momentum!"
"Blow the drums! Blow the horn!"
For a moment, the army on the north bank assumed a posture of vowing to fight to the end with the army on the south bank!
The north wind blows and the war drums rumble!
...
On the south bank.
Tang Qiuyu looked across the river and couldn't help but feel worried when he saw the opponent's decisive battle momentum.
Looking at the eldest prince, he asked, "Does the Imperial Master have any other plans?"
The eldest prince looked at her and smiled and said: "Mr. Tang, don't worry, the show has not begun yet, this is just foreplay!"
It was only then that he and Xia Yunlan understood Li Ye's intentions, why he wanted the national advisor to personally lead the army to attack from the front, just to wait for the next moment.
Looking up at the snowflakes flying in the sky, the eldest prince smiled lightly and said, "Snowy days are perfect for fighting!"
"Is this what the Imperial Master said?" Tang Qiuyu asked.
"This is what he taught me. If you want to win a battle, you have to take it by surprise and attack it unprepared!" Standing on the shore, he seemed to have seen the victory in the next moment.
"It seems that after noon, we can really start cooking on the north bank!" Xia Yunlan said with a smile.
"Yes, the Imperial Master just wants to win the battle in front of him at the lowest cost!" Knowing Li Ye's temper well, he felt extremely relieved.
...
Nalan Yu and Jiang Shangyun stood quietly in the wind and snow with 30,000 soldiers and horses.
Jiang Shangyun listened to the earth-shattering drums and roars ahead, and asked in a solemn voice: "General Nalan, how can we attack?"
Nalanyu looked up at the white mist on the river and replied quietly: "Wait for the signal!"
Jiang Shangyun nodded: "Are you waiting for the signal from the Imperial Master?"
"Yes, it's not just us, the 30,000 troops led by General Ma and General Chen Zirang are also waiting for the signal!"
Although Nalanyu was excited, he also knew the importance of obeying orders.
He would not send troops to attack before waiting for Li Ye's signal.
...
same moment.
The 30,000 troops led by Ma Feihu and Chen Zirang also stood quietly in the wind and snow.
Ma Feihu pointed in the direction of the rumbling war drums on the river, laughed loudly and said, "Come on! The Imperial Master is about to send out the signal!"
Chen Zirang looked in the direction of his finger and asked, "Are General Nalan and the others the same?"
"That's natural. The national division is attacking from the front just to cover us!"
...
This time, Li Ye used the strategy of practicing the plank road openly and crossing Chencang secretly, sending Nalanyu and Ma Feihu each with 30,000 troops to cross the river eighty miles upstream and eighty miles downstream, just for this moment.
As smart as Linghu Zhen, he never expected that Li Ye was already cutting down trees and building rafts by the river, preparing to cross the river to attack, and secretly prepared two other groups of surprise troops.
After all, the new generation, which has not experienced war for more than 20 years, has no combat experience.
Even the woods on the other side were forgotten to be burned, and they were all left to the southern Xinjiang army.
Not to mention sending people to patrol the river nearly 200 miles upstream and downstream.
Even after receiving a warning letter from Li Ye, he only sent troops to patrol the area fifty miles upstream and downstream.
But he didn't expect that Li Ye had expected this move and was thirty miles ahead of him.
Without any military obstruction, Nalan Yu and Ma Feihu's 60,000-strong army took only four days to cross the Fuchun River, waiting for Li Ye's attack signal.
A firework rising into the sky from the Fuchun River!
...
Standing in the river, smelling the strong smell of kerosene from the other side in the wind, and the unpleasant smell of hay mixed with kerosene, Li Ye looked at Mu Mu and said with a smile, "They want to attack with fire. We were burned to death on the bank of the Fuchun River."
He felt that his sense of smell was more sensitive than before, and he could not control the excitement of rushing forward. He could not restrain his desire to jump across the river and slash at the enemies on the other side with his sword.
It's a pity that none of the practitioners in this world can fly.
So does he.
Mu Mu turned to look at him and asked, "What should we do?"
Li Ye looked at Xia Wutong, who was frowning, and said with a smile, "Do you want to play with rockets later?"
"Can I? It seems that their kerosene is prepared for us." Xia Wutong stretched out his hand to smooth the messy hair on his forehead and asked with a smile.
Li Ye looked quietly at the other side, raised his arm and pointed at the haystacks on the far side of the river, and said to the flag bearer: "Order the army to change rockets and wait for our order!"
Mu Mu looked at the looming haystacks by the river in the distance and asked, "Shall we help them light it?"
"The kerosene they prepared is only enough to burn for an hour at most. To avoid trouble, we help them light it." Li Ye said lightly.
"Well, this is fun, I like it! Sister Wutong, you have to take more aim later!" Mu Mu looked at Xia Wutong and smiled.
"Compare?" Xia Wutong, who refused to admit defeat, looked at her and said,
"Compete!" Mu Mu thought to herself. Who has my archery skills been afraid of?
"Don't be anxious, wait until the raft gets closer." Li Ye said, looking at the two of them.
Mu Mu nodded and said, "I know! We will fly over with tens of thousands of rockets and light the kerosene for them. It will be fun."
Hearing the word fun, Xia Wutong stretched out his hand and pinched her, and said with a smile: "This is a war!"
It’s not like playing house, what’s fun?
It’s not about hunting, it’s not about excitement.
This is a living battlefield, and people are going to die.
Mu Mu thought about the air raids in the three towns in southern Xinjiang that day, patted Xia Wutong on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Sister, don't be afraid, Mu Mu and brother are here, you will not be harmed."
Compared with those grassland cavalry in Xiaguan, in Mumu's eyes, the enemies on the other side were not worth mentioning.
"I don't need protection!" The stubborn Xia Wutong didn't want Li Ye to see his joke.
"Well, senior sister, I want to ask you something. Have you ever killed anyone?" Li Ye looked at her stubbornness and couldn't help but laugh.
"Brothers, beat the drums harder and shout louder. It's cold today!" Li Ye used the power of his formless body to spread his voice far away.
Li Ye's call rang out on the Fuchun River. Although it was not loud, it reached everyone's ears.
Just for an instant, the war drums on the Fuchun River beat again, and the rumble was louder than the drums on the other side of the river.
Thousands of people roared again, vowing to crush the enemy troops on the other side.
Li Ye pointed forward and said to the flagman: "One hundred and fifty feet away from the other side, all the rafts will stop."
Xia Wutong asked nonchalantly: "Don't we want to attack anymore?"
"Why are you so anxious? Let you shoot a round of rockets and play a game with them first!" Li Ye said in a deep voice.
"Brothers on the other side, run away! I'm coming to kill!" After gathering his strength, Li Ye shouted towards the other side!
"Brothers on the other side, run away! I'm coming to kill!"
"Brothers on the other side, run away! I'm coming to kill!"
Waves of roars suddenly sounded on the river, one wave higher than the next!
The flag bearer visually measured the distance, turned around and said to Li Ye: "National Master, you can stop!"
Li Ye looked at the calm river and said, "Order the army to stop and prepare to light the rockets!"
Mu Mu looked at Xia Wutong excitedly and said with a smile, "You can play with fire!"
Xia Wutong looked at her and smiled: "Yes, I know!"
