"If we leave 30,000 archers to not participate in the war, the Yi Army may also retain a certain number of personnel. When the two sides cancel each other out, I'm afraid the archers will not be able to play their role." After waiting for a long time, Lan Xu and Zhang did not speak boldly. In desperation, Fang Quyin raised doubts again, but his question silenced all three of them.
At the same time, over at Yijun, Ruan Qiling was also discussing matters with some generals.
"Marshal, the enemy has fallen into our trap and is rapidly breaking through our defense lines and continuing to penetrate deep into our positions." Thinking that they had another useless strategy, a general directly described the current battle situation.
"Well, wait a little longer. When the time is right, our army can give the Star Army a big gift." Nodding, Ruan Qiling was very confident in the Star Army's tactics, and from the beginning to the end, he didn't think Lan Xu could do it. Guess their plan.
"The rear is fully prepared. As long as the marshal gives the order, we can launch an attack on the Star Army at any time." Speaking of their follow-up plan, a general reported to Ruan Qiling on the preparations of the Yi Army's rear.
"Don't worry, everyone. Today, I will lead you to avenge your humiliation. Otherwise, I would rather die on the battlefield than withdraw my troops." Seeing that all the subordinates were a little anxious, it seemed that the tragedy of the Star Army's massacre of the Yi Army last time was still there. To have an impact on them, Ruan Qiling had no choice but to say something to stabilize the morale of the soldiers.
After making promises to his subordinates, Ruan Qiling also showed an unprecedented determination. A single look in his eyes was enough to let the generals understand that he hoped to defeat the Star Army more than others.
Speaking of which, Ruan Qiling's considerations were correct. Many generals of the Yi Army were still affected by the aftermath of the Battle of Windless City because the ferocious image of the Star Army on the battlefield left a deep impression on them, even though they knew they had follow-up plans. Yes, they still felt a little uneasy.
"I wonder when the marshal plans to wait until the follow-up plan is implemented?" Because the battle lines continued to move back, some people finally couldn't help but ask the key question.
"When all the enemy's cavalry joins the battle, our army can implement the follow-up plan." In order to reassure the generals, Ruan Qiling did not sell out to them.
Of course, although the Yi Army deliberately lured the Star Army into the Yi Army's position, the bravery of the Star Army was still obvious and could not be ignored. By this time, there were 10,000 or 20,000 Yi Army soldiers participating in the battle, all of which were used to lure the Star Army. Those who were shortlisted have to say that Yijun made a great sacrifice in placing bait.
On the other hand, after the Star Army went to great lengths to kill, many positions were occupied by lone troops. The Star Army at the front might be surrounded by the Wing Army at any time. In addition, it was already long before the official confrontation between the two armies. After a while, all the remaining ferocious beasts were killed by the Star Army.
Without the interference of ferocious beasts, the Star Army behind could charge forward unscrupulously, and the Star Army's fighting spirit became more and more high. At the same time, Lu Yunyou and others were marching slowly due to the difficult road. Under the guidance of General Li, Liu Hongtao led 30,000 new troops through narrow paths, overcoming thorns and thorns along the way. Finally, after two hours, they had covered most of the distance, and were now blocked by a small river in front of them.
"General Li, why is there a river here?" Seeing that the road ahead was blocked, Liu Hongtao was very angry, and then turned to ask General Li who had been holding a map to guide the way. At the same time, he kept thinking about the consequences if the trip was delayed because of a river. It will be difficult for them to afford it.
"General Liu, don't worry. Although the existence of this river is not marked on the map, the spy mentioned it when describing the route, saying that the river is not deep and we can swim across it." The emergence of a river is of great importance. If it is really because If something happened to the river, he was the first person to blame. Therefore, after Liu Hongtao asked, General Li quickly explained, but he didn't know exactly what was going on. He could only hope that the information brought back by the spies would be correct. .
"General Liu, why don't we quickly find a few people to go down and try?" After hearing General Li's explanation, Zhu Zizai, who was also unsure of the situation, hurriedly came up with an idea.
"Those who know how to handle water should stand up," Liu Hongtao turned around and shouted to the people behind him.
Immediately afterwards, some people came out of the queue, dozens of them in total.
"Group of two, spread out and confirm the position where you can cross the river as soon as possible." There were many people meeting the water. According to Zhu Zizai's suggestion, Liu Hongtao improved his method.
"The general is wise."
…
All the generals thought Liu Hongtao's method was very good and immediately praised him. Those words of praise made Liu Hongtao very happy.
Then, under the attention of Liu Hongtao and other generals, the dozens of people quickly dispersed, walked to the river separately according to the instructions of the commander below, and then went down to the river one after another to explore the depth and shallowness of the water.
It was autumn, the weather was no longer hot, and the river was a little cool. Those people could only move forward cautiously after getting into the river.
Originally, Lu Yunyou thought that the river that was a few meters wide would not be very deep, but this did not seem to be the case. Before those people in the river went very far, the river water gradually overflowed their knees and rose to the level again. When it comes to the waist, in the middle position, the water depth in some places has reached the chest level of ordinary people.
I thought that the middle position was the deepest part of the river, but when those people walked further, the water level was deeper, directly covering the mouths and noses of some people, making it difficult for those people to continue exploring. Then, those people looked back one after another. Wait for instructions to Liu Hongtao's location.
His mind tightened. He didn't expect the river to be so deep. When he saw that the rivers on both sides were endless, there were so few people who knew how to swim. Liu Hongtao once again thought that if they were really blocked by the river, it would definitely delay the important event.
"Come back to me all and expand the detection range," Liu Hongtao yelled at the soldiers in the river. Then he turned around and shouted to the Star Troopers: "Is there anyone who knows how to swim? Come out, general."
After a shout, hundreds more people walked out of the queue, and then those people followed Liu Hongtao's instructions, one person was three meters tall. In a blink of an eye, hundreds of people scattered beside the long river, testing the depth of the river together. Not long after, Liu Hongtao and others were extremely worried. Someone actually found a place with shallow water.
After the results came out, Liu Hongtao accused General Li of not doing things well and hurriedly led people there.
Faced with Liu Hongtao's accusation, General Li did not dare to say a word. When the Star Army tested the water just now, he had been worried. If they really couldn't find a place to cross the river, they would have to go back along the original road. The time wasted by going back and forth is immeasurable. Naturally, he cannot bear the responsibility for delaying the military situation, and Liu Hongtao will also be implicated.
Now Liu Hongtao reprimanded him for not doing things well, and he didn't dare to refute a word. Now the Star Army in front was leading the way. Liu Hongtao led a group of generals in the middle and forward position, followed by most of the Star Army. Time was tight, and no one was able to Think about whether there are any ferocious beasts in the river. Even if there are, they have to go there.
"Ah..." A scream suddenly sounded from behind, and everyone who had not yet crossed the river turned around to look.
"What's going on?" Immediately afterwards, a general asked in the direction where the sound came from.
"Something hit my leg in the river," the star soldier had just finished saying. The man next to him tilted his body and almost fell into the water as if he had been knocked down. Fortunately, he was held by the person behind him.
"Maybe it's a fish. Don't waste time. Let's cross the river quickly." There is no need to doubt the soldier's words. No one was worried about it. He looked back at the stopped team. Liu Hongtao suddenly became very angry. In his opinion, Even if there were high-level ferocious beasts in the river, if they encountered so many of them, they would have to avoid them for the time being.
Then after he shouted, no one was worried about what was in the river anymore, and they quickly stepped forward one by one. When the people in front of them landed smoothly, some soldiers behind who were worried about the ferocious beasts in the river speeded up their steps. Unfortunately, more than 30,000 people wanted to It will take some time to cross the river completely.
Time passed little by little. After a quarter of an hour, it was confirmed that all personnel had crossed the river. Liu Hongtao urged everyone to go up the mountain. If they wanted to get around to the rear of the Yi Army, they still had a long way to go. They lost contact with the main force of the Star Army. In this case, the sooner they arrive near the battlefield, the better.
Wearing wet clothes up the mountain undoubtedly increases the difficulty of climbing. Fortunately, the army is all martial arts practitioners, and their physical strength is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even if someone slipped and fell while going up the mountain, Liu Hongtao still led the army to climb over quickly. Over the mountains.
After resting for a period of time on the other side of the mountain, Liu Hongtao led the army and continued to advance. At the same time, the fighting between the two sides became more and more fierce at the Star Army camp, and the sounds of fierce fighting continued on the battlefield.
After a period of discussion, Lan Xu and the others did not think of any clever strategy, and still planned to follow Fang Quyin's suggestion and leave 30,000 archers on standby.
If an unexpected situation really occurs in the middle, and it is serious enough to change the situation of the game, Lan Xu may order the withdrawal of the troops, and those archers will be used to cover the withdrawal of the Star Army. This is a helpless move, but this is the only way to compare. safe.
