Zuo Shiren stood outside the camp, looking ahead at the Dongling soldiers who were already in full formation. One after another, siege equipment was being pushed towards the front line amidst the chants of civilians.
"Inspector armor, foot and bow camp, each person has two pots of arrows!" A Dongling general raised his sword and shouted.
Today in Jiangnan, the weather is extremely sunny. After the beginning of spring, the mountains in the distance are already green.
Under the sky, the vast army had already stretched its morale to a certain point. They only waited for the alliance's order to immediately launch their troops and besiege Cangzhou.
And this alliance order is in the hands of Zuo Shiren.
He raised his head and looked at the birds in the sky. After about a while, he lowered his head.
On the high slope, he raised his arms.
"call!"
The chorus of soldiers' chants seemed to burst their eardrums.
The flags fluttered in the wind, and the faces of people also fluttered in the wind.
"I, Zuo Shiren, as the leader of the alliance, today call on all the princes in the world to join me in the crusade against Cangzhou!"
"Send my military order to break the city and kill the enemy at this moment!"
"attack!"
"Roar--"
Following Zuo Shiren's military orders, they were passed down from level to level. Not long after, the originally peaceful military formation suddenly became roaring.
Signal arrows filled the sky and shot into the sky. In the sky, it resounded to human ears.
The red-feathered scouts, who could no longer wait, angrily rode on their fast horses and headed forward to report the news.
"Generals of Dongling, why don't you dare to kill thieves for justice!"
"kill!"
The leading shield troops, wearing thick armor and holding large shields high, followed a neat formation and approached the Cangzhou City Pass ahead step by step.
Behind them, there were also heavy siege equipment, which also began to move forward.
The catapults lined up in a row waited until they were close, and under the command of the battalion general, they filled the animal skin cartridge pockets with huge rocks.
"collapse!"
In the sky, countless black shadows instantly passed over the heads of the front army formations. No one raised their heads, and the leader of the army, General Dongling, mustered up the greatest strength in his life and shouted loudly.
"Go first, Marquis Wanhu!"
"Roar!"
…
On the boat, Xu Mu opened his eyes and looked at the wolf smoke.
According to a normal attack, the whole army should be besieged at the agreed time. But this time, Zuo Shiren did not do this, and preferred to use the method of sending a message to guard against anyone who would rebel against the alliance. The original Tanglin Alliance was destroyed by the first wave of strong attacks by the anti-alliance forces.
"Lord, the alliance order is here!"
"I know."
Xu Mu stood up and faced Xiangjiang ahead.
"Ma Yi, have you done everything I told you?"
"Don't worry, my lord, it's all done."
"In that case-" Xu Mu drew out his long sword.
On the high platform of the building, Wei Xiaowu also began to support Xu Ziqi.
"Listen to my military order, the whole army will cross the river and march directly to Kezhou! If there is any obstacle, I respectfully request all officers and men to march forward bravely and kill the enemy bravely!"
"Take the order!"
The warships that had already formed a water formation, following the passing of the command flag, raised their sails in the wind, and charged in the direction of Kezhou with a long wall style.
The twenty shield ships in the front row, after adding sails, could not give up any speed. They were like giant beasts with teeth and claws, roaring and running forward.
…
On the bank of the Kezhou River, a Cangzhou general, after learning that the enemy's alliance order had been issued, was silent for a while, then suddenly turned around and knelt down, facing the direction of the palace, and bowed three times in a row.
In this world, the most difficult thing to repay is the kindness of knowing someone.
Without the Queen Mother, he would be nothing more than a criminal general. Without promotion and salary, even his wife, children and parents will starve to death.
After kneeling down, Lin Tong stood up coldly. When he came out of the palace that day, he already understood that in this round, he was going to die.
How could the navy in Cangzhou, with less than 30,000 soldiers in the end, block the mighty Allied forces on the river? Nothing more than a delay.
"Come aboard."
Lin Tong gritted his teeth, no longer feeling any nostalgia.
"General Lin has ordered the navy to board the ship to fight the rebels!"
…
It's still a long time before we hit the shore.
The warship is riding the wind and waves.
The large army and horses on the North Road include the original more than 40,000 navy troops and the more than 20,000 people brought by Chang Wei. With a total of nearly 70,000 troops, they are already a powerful force.
But at this time, the person in charge of the main ship was not Xu Mu, but Ma Yi. Beside Ma Yi, there was another figure in golden armor.
Of course, this is not his lord.
His lord had split the boat and went in another direction dozens of miles offshore.
"General Ma, I don't feel comfortable wearing this golden armor."
Ma Yi frowned, "Don't move. Just stand there and pretend to be enigmatic. My lord's arrangement must be reasonable."
The golden-armored figure grimaced and continued to stand on the bow of the boat, holding his hands behind his back and straightening his back.
"I heard that this time Cangzhou Navy General Lin Tong is indeed somewhat capable. But no matter the morale, the number of soldiers, or the tactics taught by the Lord, he is not as good as the Allies. If we lose, I, General Yuncheng, will Yi, just throw yourself into the river to feed the fish!"
"Pass my military order." Ma Yi stood up, "After more than a hundred miles of water, he lowered half of the sail, slowed down the ship, and lured the Cangzhou Navy to the center of the river. This time, I will not let these thieves escape again. Go back to Cangzhou Riverside!"
"Let's see my Western Shu navy become famous all over the world!"
…
Xu Mu, who had split the ship, only brought more than 20,000 men and horses with him. Of course, the more than 20,000 troops were brought by Xiao Changwei.
This time, he did not follow the trend of the army. But Xu Mu decided on his own to separate the fifth besieging army. It is also very likely that he will go deep into danger.
"Chang Wei, are you afraid?" Xu Mu turned around.
"I'm afraid of eggs!" Chang Wei looked excited, "The group that followed the little boss to the grassland to kill. Every time I think about it, I laugh three times."
"Okay." Xu Mu smiled and turned around again.
"this……"
"To the King of Shu, my name is Long Ziyun, and I am the legitimate son of the Long family in Gaotang Prefecture. This time I am accompanying the King of Shu to kill the enemy, and I am filled with joy!"
"Very good."
"Brother Mu, my name is Si Hu, and I am willing to kill the enemy together."
"Brother, I didn't ask you." Xu Mu smiled. Then he raised his head and looked at the river ahead.
The water war has not started yet. He didn't want to land too quickly. The best time was to take advantage of the Cangzhou navy's mid-crossing interception and unable to take care of both, and then land ashore in one fell swoop and enter Cangzhou.
He estimated that the Cangzhou Navy's men and horses would not be too many as the battles continued. If the guess is correct, the Demon Queen wants to delay time. It is very likely that the focus of defense will be placed on the defense of the county.
Of course, the Demon Queen had to let the navy intercept. Xu Mu also knew that the Demon Queen must be the most wary of him. If they rush ashore and enter the state without any danger, Cangzhou's defense will be at least half lost.
"Lin Tong? That was an abandoned son. Although Ma Yi is a reckless general, there should be no problem with him washing up from the river this time."
"By the way, Brother Mu, why didn't the little military advisor come?"
"He had something to do and he went there."
Xu Mu said, feeling worried for a moment. Although the world's alliance to fight against the Demon Queen is full of morale, this is only on the surface. Soldiers will come to block it, water will come to cover it, and you and I will fight to the death.
But in the dark, it's what Xu Mu wants to guard against. With such a military strength, nearly 200,000 troops, and many famous generals in the world, if they can't defeat Cangzhou, they will all throw themselves into the river together.
The more this happened, the more worried Xu Mu became. On the Demon Queen's side, a real secret move must be made.
