Hearing Tian Feng's refusal, Yuan Shu was also confused and didn't understand what the other party meant.
"Although the enemy has already gone to Bakrat City, we don't know whether it is a strategy to lure the enemy deep into the city or whether it is actually going to Bakrat.
If the enemy counterattacks when we are crossing the river, our army will be in danger. My suggestion is to wait for a day or two before crossing the river.
"
It's not that Tian Feng can't trust his scouts, but that they now have an absolute advantage. Since they have the advantage, there is no need to take risks. As long as he attacks openly, the enemy will collapse under his own army.
"Okay, as you said, the army is ready to cross the river. As soon as the opponent's situation is confirmed, they will cross the river immediately. In addition, send a telegram to Zhao Yun to let him prepare."
Facing Tian Feng's words, Yuan Shu also nodded. Now that they are the attacking side, there is no need to care about this day or two.
"promise."
Tian Feng clasped his fists and left directly to convey Yuan Shu's order.
Soon Yuan Shu's army began to enter a state of combat readiness. Countless boats were lying across the water, ready to carry the army across the river for fighting at any time.
Yuan Shu's telegram was sent directly to Zhao Yun's army.
"General, a telegram from His Majesty."
Huang Zhong came to Zhao Yun with Yuan Shu's telegram.
"oh?
Your Majesty is sending a telegram now, what is going on?"
Zhao Yun was stunned when he heard that it was Yuan Shu's telegram. He immediately took the telegram and began to look at it carefully.
"How about it?
What did your Majesty say?"
Huang Zhong looked at Zhao Yun's face, his eyes full of anxiety.
"You see."
Zhao Yun handed the telegram directly to Huang Zhong, and Huang Zhong began to read it quickly after taking it.
"As expected, the enemy has mobilized troops from the Amu Darya defense line, and the entire army has been dispatched?"
Huang Zhong was stunned after reading the telegram. He originally thought that the other party might send some troops over, but he didn't expect that the entire army would be sent out. This was a bit of a desperate move.
"Your Majesty must have thought of the other party's actions, so he found out the news as soon as the other party sent troops. Is there any news about the return of our troops?"
Zhao Yun nodded, Yuan Shu's telegram was still very credible.
"You haven't come back yet, so what should we do?
After all, the opponent’s army of hundreds of thousands has arrived.”
Huang Zhong frowned. The army of hundreds of thousands was already a bit more than he imagined.
"Of course we have to take action. We immediately order our troops and horses to prepare for an attack. I will defeat them from the front. As long as we capture the troops and horses in the Amu Darya, the province of Daxia will be in our hands."
Zhao Yun smiled slightly, his eyes full of fighting spirit. Since he came, whether it was small fish, shrimps, sharks or whales, he was determined to be the fisherman.
"No, I'll make arrangements right away."
Huang Zhong nodded, then turned around and left the tent, directly conveying Zhao Yun's military order.
Soon all the soldiers and horses in the camp became active. Thousands of cavalry scouts came out of the camp and rushed towards the Amu Darya defense line. Since you want to be a fisherman, you must know yourself and the enemy so that you can survive in every battle.
Bakrat was not far from the Amu Darya defense line, and the cavalry quickly found the Amu Darya troops heading south.
"Immediately report to the general. The opponent's main force has been discovered and is heading in the direction of Bakrat."
Now that the enemy's main force had been detected, the scouts directly sent people to report the news to Zhao Yun, while they continued to observe the enemy's situation.
Soon the scout's news was reported to Zhao Yun.
"The remaining 30,000 cavalrymen will continue to stay here, and the remaining 100,000 cavalrymen will prepare to go north. The fishing operation is about to begin. In addition, we will send a telegram to His Majesty to inform His Majesty of our actions."
After receiving the enemy's intelligence, Zhao Yun directly ordered the main force to dispatch and march north to prepare for the attack on the Amu Darya defense line.
"Your Majesty, General Zilong sent a telegram saying that he has discovered the main force of the Amu Darya defense line going south."
Tian Feng took Zhao Yun's telegram and came directly to Yuan Shu's tent.
"Haha, then there is no doubt now. Let's order the army to cross the river."
Now that Zhao Yun had confirmed the news, Yuan Shu had nothing more to say and directly ordered the army to cross the river.
"promise."
Tian Feng directly clasped his fists. Now that he has confirmed the situation of the opponent's main force, there is nothing to hesitate about, just cross the river.
After hearing Yuan Shu's military order, hundreds of thousands of troops also began to take action. Small boats rushed out of the water stronghold and began to cross the river.
"The enemy is about to cross the river, prepare to attack."
The Daxia navy patrolling the river saw the Chinese boats leaving the water village and preparing to cross the river, and immediately made preparations. Large ships sailed out one after another, preparing to sniper the Chinese troop transport ships.
"Fire the arrow."
"Crash."
"Slap the stick, smash it."
Although the Daxia navy did not have many warships, they still had the necessary things, such as crossbows, arrows, and shooting poles. However, it was difficult to resist the small boats of the Chinese army.
"On board the fire."
The enemy was so fierce, so the Chinese army was not unprepared. Big ships are better than big ships, but small boats also have advantages. This time Tian Feng prepared a lot of arson boats, and these small boats were loaded with fire starters.
Upon hearing Tian Feng's order, more than a dozen small boats opened their curtains one after another and began to speed forward.
"Shoot the arrow and don't let the opponent get close."
Seeing the small boat rushing towards him, Commander Daxia on the warship didn't know what the small boat was, but it was definitely not a good thing if the enemy were to rush towards him.
A shower of arrows formed a curtain of arrows, trying to block the oncoming fire boats.
"Put up your shield and speed up."
Those who were able to board the fire boat were all the elites under Yuan Shu's command. Among other things, these people only wanted to save their lives. Facing the opponent's arrow rain, these people simply didn't care. They raised their shields one by one and the boat continued to accelerate.
He rushed towards Daxia's ship.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and they are about to collide.
"Set fire, abandon ship."
Seeing that the distance was close, each team leader did not hesitate and lit the tinder on the ship directly.
Hoo ho ho.
The raging flames ignited instantly, turning the fire-charging boats into blazing flames. Then the people on top jumped off the boats one after another and watched the fire-charging boats hit the warship.
"Peng."
"Peng."
"Peng."
A series of collision sounds were heard, and all the fire boats hit the Daxia army's warships, and flames instantly burst into flames.
One warship after another was set on fire, and the Daxia soldiers on board did not dare to hesitate and jumped overboard one after another into the sea.
As the fire ships collided with each other, more and more Daxia warships burned, and Daxia's warships were almost collapsed. Facing the fierce and fearless Chinese soldiers and horses, they really could not resist
Living.
"I can't stop it."
When the naval general of Daxia Province saw this situation, he also knew that he might not be able to withstand the opponent's attack.
"General, what should we do now?"
The navy soldiers in the same boat with him looked at their general with confusion in their eyes. Although they were also navy soldiers,
But to put it bluntly, it is almost the same as a joke on the Mongolian navy, whose combat effectiveness is infinitely close to zero. If the Chinese navy is blocking Yuan Shu now, relying on these small boats alone will be in vain if they don't break out the opponent's eggs.
"Instruct the navy to withdraw to the shore and rely on the defenses on the shore to resist the enemy's attack."
The situation is now very clear. It is impossible for us to resist the opponent's offensive. We will have no choice but to retreat back and rely on the defenses on the shore to continue to resist the Chinese attack.
"yes."
The flag signal was conveyed, and the remaining Daxia warships began to retreat backwards following the flagship.
"The enemy has retreated."
Seeing the enemy's navy retreating, Tian Feng stood on the high platform of the water village and watched the enemy's warships begin to retreat.
"Well, they want to retreat and then rely on the defenses on the shore to continue sniping at us."
Yuan Shu nodded, that's what the other party was thinking now, it would definitely be difficult to resist his attack.
"As the saying goes, retreat step by step. As long as they dare to retreat now, the fighting spirit in the army will be completely lost. Moreover, their current defense on the shore is just like that. The other side cannot resist us at all."
Tian Feng smiled slightly. He was afraid that the enemy would fight to the death, but was not afraid of them relying on shore defense.
"Well, then order the trebuchets and crossbow boats to attack. The troop transport ships will follow and prepare to cross the river."
Yuan Shu glanced into the distance, and directly ordered the warships loaded with trebuchets and crossbows to advance, giving priority to defeating the opponent's water fortress, and then waiting until it was absolutely safe, then dispatched troop transport ships to carry soldiers across the river.
Soon, slightly larger warships were dispatched one after another, loaded with trebuchets and city-defending crossbows, and began to attack the enemy's water stronghold.
After Daxia's navy returned to the water stronghold, they were immediately surrounded by Chinese boats. Trebuchets and crossbows were bombarded at no cost. The Daxia navy was beaten passively, and in the end they couldn't resist it.
, can only raise the white flag to express surrender.
"Your Majesty, the enemy's water village is surrendering to us with a white flag high."
Soon the naval captain in charge of the storm came directly to report the situation to Yuan Shu.
"Okay, just take down the opponent's water stronghold and order the troop ships to carry the soldiers across the river."
Hearing that the enemy's navy had been defeated, Yuan Shu nodded. The road ahead had been cleared, and now it was time for the army to cross the river.
"promise."
Boats filled with soldiers left the water village one after another, crossed the Amu Darya River, and rushed towards the other side of the river.
As time passed, the boats carried the soldiers to the river bank, dropped off the soldiers and returned immediately, carrying the Chinese army again to continue crossing the river.
After crossing the river, the army began to assemble and organize defense lines to create safe conditions for subsequent troops to land.
After all, the Chinese army had too many people. The carrying capacity of these small boats was too small, and it would take too much time to carry the army across the river.
Hundreds of thousands of troops were transported from day to night, and only about 100,000 soldiers and horses could be transported.
"No, it's too slow to transport troops and horses this way. Gather all the boats and I want to build a pontoon bridge."
After looking at the current situation, Yuan Shu immediately thought of the river-crossing strategy often used in later generations, which was to use small boats to build pontoon bridges to quickly cross.
