Yang Dongting...

Chen Leng muttered this name in his mouth, and tapped his fingers gently on the table. There were only him and Chen Ran in the big tent. The generals of each battalion were already preparing to cross the river to build a floating bridge.

“The river channel is too wide.”

The cold eyes returned to the map and said to himself: "When we met Yang Dongting in the center of the river, he wanted to see me, I wanted to see the river, and he just happened to declare war on me."

Chen Leng raised his head and looked at Chen Ran: "The narrowest part of the river is also three miles. If you want to build a floating bridge like this, they just need to defend with arrow formations on the other side, and those who enter the river will be crushed and beaten."

Chen Ran said: "But if we don't build a floating bridge, we can't get through at all. Yang Dongting knew that we were back. Before that, he left only a small boat for the south bank. The scouts went to the four outside and walked along the river for dozens of miles and could not see anyone. All the people in the village had been withdrawn. Those who could be taken away were taken away, and those who could not be taken away were destroyed."

Chen Leng said: "The terrain here is really good for the San people."

His fingers clicked on the map: "The river channel is about three miles wide, and our stone-throwing cart shot only about three miles, so even if we can assume the stone-throwing cart on the shore, we will not be able to hit the archers on the other side."

"Then I can only attack hard."

Wang Kuohai stepped in from outside, took off his iron helmet and put it aside: "I just went to the baggage camp to take a look. The auxiliary soldiers have prepared all the things needed to build the bridge and can be transported to the river early tomorrow morning."

Chen Leng nodded, his eyes still stopped on the map: "Our fleet can't get around. This river is not connected to Yingcheng. If the fleet wants to enter Songwang River, it has to return to the sea and circle around Zuozhongzhou Island for a short while before we can get in there, and we haven't captured it yet."

"General."

Wang Kuohai said: "I know you are worried that you will suffer heavy casualties by forcibly crossing the river, but now there is no other way, so let's attack hard, I will lead people to fight the first round."

Chen Leng let out a breath, and there was indeed no shortcut to go.

"Then go to the river to see the situation tomorrow morning."

Chen Leng looked at Wang Kuohai: "If the floating bridge is forcibly built, the casualties of the auxiliary soldiers will be severe... They are all human lives."

But war is not a multiple-choice question, sometimes war has only one choice.

The next morning, Chen Leng brought his personal military camp to the south bank of Songwang River again. The defense on the other side was ready, and a large number of mulberry soldiers were on the other side. As long as the Ning army began to build a floating bridge, their boats would rush over to interfere, and there were no ships on the Ning army.

"General."

Wang Kuohai looked at Chen Leng and said, "Give an order."

Chen Leng nodded: "You go."

Wang Kuohai took the order and turned around and ordered someone to send orders to both his team and the auxiliary soldiers to come up. When the team gathered, Chen Leng was still thinking about how to minimize casualties.

Building a building car?

The tower car does make the Daning archers on the south bank have a longer range. If they are made strong, they can even lift the bed crossbow up. However, the distance of more than three miles is still too far. The bed crossbow can be hit by the heavy crossbow arrows on the tower car, but that is really the last of the strength crossbow.

There is no way, so there is only one way to force it.

Wang Kuohai and his team and his auxiliary soldiers began to build a floating bridge on the south bank of the river. After discussion, they decided to use splicing methods. The floating bridge was connected on the south bank about a few meters long, and then carried it into the water to connect.

Before this, a large number of people were needed to enter the river to drive piles first. It should be easy to say that the first section was, after all, the archers in Daning could not shoot the Sangren, and the Sangren could not shoot so far.

The real danger is that the pontoon bridge is built to the center of the river. At that time, the crossbow on the other side of the bed can aim at the pontoon bridge. The river water is the deepest at that location. People can no longer go into the water to drive piles, so they can only extend forward on the already built pontoon bridge. In this way, the people on the pontoon bridge are the target.

"I'll go, too."

Chen Ran took off the iron armor on his body: "The soldiers must know that there is no difference between the general and the soldiers in this kind of danger."

Chen Leng nodded. He didn't wear armor when he came, just wanted to go into the water himself.

Putting up his trouser legs, Chen Leng shouted to Chen Ran, "Let's go carry the wooden stake."

"You can't go!"

Chen Ran immediately stopped Chen Leng there: "You are the general!"

"First of all, I'm a soldier."

Chen Leng lifted one end of the wooden stake and nude at Chen Ran: "Can't you go?"

Chen Ran shook his head helplessly, ran over and put on the other end. When the Ning army soldiers saw that the general and his personal soldiers had all gone into the river, everyone started to move.

As expected by Chen Leng, the initial section of building the floating bridge was very smooth. The San people could not hit them, and they did not dare to come too close. If they got too close, their ship would be attacked by the stone-throwing cart on the south bank.

Ning Jun's stone-throwing cart really could not threaten the other side of the river, but could they not threaten when they arrived at the center of the river? The Sang people could only watch the Daning army extend the pontoon bridge quickly forward, and it was not a pontoon bridge, but seven or eight pontoon bridges were being built at the same time.

Chen Leng stood in the river and held the wooden stake with both hands, shouting at Wang Kuohai above: "Smash!"

Wang Kuohai held the hammer handle of the sledgehammer in both hands and smashed it hard. With his strength, he sank a lot of pieces of the wooden stake. He smashed dozens or hundreds of times before he could completely stabilize a wooden stake. He basically cut the wooden stake to a depth after seven or eight times.

On the other side of the river.

Yang Dongting looked at Ning Jun quickly building the floating bridge without looking down on his face, but he was respectful.

"Look at how smooth the Ning army cooperated. Their team cooperated tacitly, and there was no conflict between the warriors and the auxiliary soldiers. When I was in Yue, there was a whole heart between the warriors and the auxiliary soldiers. The warriors looked down on the auxiliary soldiers, and the auxiliary soldiers were unwilling to pay more attention to them."

"It makes people feel fair, including the general, and you all know how terrible this team is, from soldiers to generals in an army that they feel they have received fair treatment."

The strong man who looked similar to Wang Kuohai said in a muffled voice: "I participated in the war when Ning destroyed our Dayue Kingdom. I knew how capable their soldiers were... In that battle, my general was His Highness Su of our Dayue, who led an army of 200,000 to resist the Ning army's guards."

In that battle, the Vietnamese army fought against 200,000 48,000 Daning soldiers, but they had no face to lose. Later, the Ning army had more than 300 people in one bid to chase thousands of people, and these thousands of people didn't even dare to fight back.

It is really impossible to defeat, but the unreasonable one cannot defeat. At the beginning, the Vietnamese army relied on its large crowds to launch an attack first, but it thought that the Ning army would defend, but the Ning army chose to attack.

As soon as they came into contact, the Vietnamese army began to suffer a large number of casualties. The feeling was that the Vietnamese army could not kill a person by wielding more than a dozen swords, but Ning army was killing every sword.

Ning Jun's five-man team cooperated and had a tacit understanding. At that time, the man named Xu Zhuanhu watched helplessly. Thirty or forty Vietnamese troops besieged a five-man team, but in the end, more than twenty people were killed by Ning Jun's five-man team. The remaining Vietnamese troops turned around and ran away.

“It’s different now.”

Xu Zhanhu took off the giant shield behind his back, and his eyes were always staring at the strong man on the other side. The guy looked so eye-catching in such a dense crowd three miles away.

It seems that Xu Zhahu and Wang Kuohai are like brothers, about the same size, even the same weapons, and they speak in a muffled voice.

"You want to fight him?"

Yang Dongting looked at Xu Zhanhu and asked with a smile.

"think."

Xu Zhanhu said: "When I saw him at first, I wanted to compete with him."

"As long as he can come alive, you have a chance to fight him."

Yang Dongting walked forward: "I ordered the archers to prepare, and ordered all the crossbows to aim at the people on the five floating bridges, and they were about to reach the center of the river."

"yes!"

The subordinates responded neatly.

On the north shore, the dense mulberry soldiers had already arranged their formations, with the archers in four rows, and in front of the archers there were a row of crossbow chariots.

Yang Dongting walked to the front of the archer team and turned around and ordered: "Go and notify the people upstream, they can come down."

A thin and concise deputy under his command immediately nodded: "Abide by the order."

This person looked like he was just going down to Xu Zhehu's chest, perhaps not even a hundred pounds. If Xu Zhehu could swallow this person in one bite, someone might believe it.

But if we say that this person and Xu Zhanhu are brothers, I am afraid no one will believe it. Even if Shen Leng met two people big and small around Yang Dongting two days ago, he would not even think that these two people were blood-related relatives.

The thin man is called Xu Fubao, who is thirty-six years older than Xu Zhuanhu. Both of them are from the capital of Nanyue, and they have been with Yang Dongting since they were young.

Yang Dongting's father... was the brother of His Highness Yang Jiu, who was led by the army of 200,000 but was beaten by the Battle of the Daning Guards, and Yang Yu, the emperor of the fallen country in Nanyue.

During that battle, Xu Zhuanghu was there, but Xu Fubao and Yang Dongting were not there. Although Xu Zhuanghu was only in his teens, King Su liked him very much because he was tall and strong, so he kept him by his side as a commander.

Both of them were born into a slave from Su Wang family and grew up with Yang Dongting, so they had a deep relationship.

"Big Brother."

Xu Zhanhu glanced at Xu Fubao: "If Ning people can really attack here later, you can protect the general."

Xu Fubao nodded: "I know you are competitive. At least you will get back after a few moves to solve that big guy. Don't be in love with the battle. The general is important."

"I know."

Xu Zhanhu nodded, his attention was still on Wang Kuohai: "If I don't fight with that guy, I think I will regret it for the rest of my life."

At this time, Ning Jun had built a floating bridge over one-third of the river, and he was about to enter the powerful killing range of the crossbow truck.

Chen Leng crawled out of the water, sat on the pontoon bridge and gasped for a while, and was a little stuffy after soaking in the water for too long. He looked at the other side and the crossbow of the Sangren had adjusted the angle.

"Blow the horn to warn me, tell my brothers that danger is coming."

Chen Leng gave an order, got up and shook the water: "Get my knife!"
