The first batch of Hundred War Army soldiers took a simple raft and began to cross Zhenjiang. No matter how fast the water flow was, the progress was smooth at the beginning.
There was no ambush from Mo State on the opposite side, and there were no fortifications. The Baizhan Army did not suffer any attacks during the process of crossing the river. Soon, they successfully crossed the center of the river and quickly moved closer to the other side.
Until this time, no enemy troops appeared on the opposite side, and there was no counterattack. Tang Yin and others who were watching were relieved. It seemed that the detection of Sky Eye and Ground Network was correct, and Mo Jun was indeed unprepared in Backwater Bay.
But then the situation suddenly changed. On the originally calm river, the raft first made a muffled bang, followed by screams and the sounds of soldiers falling into the water.
Afterwards, the muffled sounds of bang bang continued one after another, and the rafts on the river were also in chaos. The soldiers of the Baizhan Army on it screamed like dumplings and fell into the water. But what was even more strange was that the other side did not appear at all.
I passed Mo Jun and didn't see any attacks coming.
Tang Yin's face suddenly changed as he was watching. He rushed to the shore, his eyes glowing green, and he looked towards the other side with enough purpose, but he didn't see the shadow of Mo Jun. Mo Jun obviously didn't show up, but his own raft
How was it attacked?
Not to mention that Tang Yin was puzzled, the other generals were also all monks who were two feet tall and confused. They were still feeling a little worse on the shore, while the officers and soldiers of the Baizhan Army who were on the river at this time were already miserable.
As the raft was moving forward, it was suddenly hit. Before people could figure out what happened, the bottom of the raft was pierced by thick wooden stakes with sharpened tops.
These wooden stakes are very cleverly designed and are fixed deeply into the bottom of the river. The sharpened tops are hidden under the surface of the river. On the surface, the river surface looks ordinary and calm, with nothing unusual about it. But once the ship approaches,
, will hit the edge of the wooden stake hard. The raft that Feng Jun rushed to build was very simple. It was just a few logs tied side by side with hemp ropes. After being pierced by the wooden stakes, it was not as simple as water leakage, but water leakage.
The hemp rope would be squeezed abruptly, causing all the logs that made up the raft to spread out. As a result, the soldiers who were originally standing on it could be imagined.
As more and more rafts hit the wooden piles hidden under the river, more and more soldiers fell into the water. Even if they had airbags attached to their bodies, most of the soldiers who fell into the water were washed away by the current.
What's even worse is that the scattered logs turned into deadly weapons under the impact of the current. Many soldiers who fell into the water struggled to float up from the river, and their heads were hit by the logs floating down the river.
The lighter ones were knocked unconscious on the spot, while the severe ones' skulls were directly smashed.
For a moment, the Fengjun on the river was like a pot exploding, screaming, screaming, and calling for help.
Nie Ze secretly screamed something bad and hurriedly said to Tang Yin: "Your Majesty, there is an ambush on the river, we must withdraw our troops immediately!"
Tang Yin looked around at the chaos on the river, clenched his fists, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Send the order, withdraw the troops!"
Dang, Dang, Dang - the gong on the shore rang loudly, and the soldiers of Baizhan on the river heard the golden sound, and without even hesitation, the rear team immediately changed to the front team, and all retreated back.
During the retreat, the soldiers of the Baizhan Army also tried their best to rescue their comrades who fell into the water, but only a small number of them were rescued, and most of the soldiers who fell into the water were nowhere to be seen.
After the rafts docked one after another, the number of people was counted again, and it was found that one-tenth of the 50,000 soldiers of the Hundred War Army had been reduced, and more than 5,000 people were swallowed up in the river.
Not even a shadow of the enemy was seen, and more than five thousand lively brothers were just gone, which made everyone present feel a fire in their hearts.
Nie Ze patiently asked the soldiers who went out to fight what happened. Some of the soldiers who fell into the water and were rescued explained to Nie Ze that there were a large number of wooden stakes arranged under the river, just like blocking horses. Whether it was a ship or a raft, as long as it was
If you drive over it, you will inevitably be hit by the edge of the wooden pile. Therefore, it is impossible to cross the river at this place. If you cross the river forcefully, it will only cause the boat to be destroyed and people to die.
After listening to the explanations of the soldiers, Nie Ze truthfully reported the situation to Tang Yin and other generals.
Only now did people figure out why the Mozambican army on the other side was so well-defended, except for the omission of the backwater bay. It was not because the Mozambican army was negligent, but because they had already made complete defenses here, and there was no need to send anyone to garrison them.
.
At this time, Baili Tuke became more energetic. At first, he was the only one who objected to crossing the river at Backwater Bay. Now it turns out that it is indeed not feasible and the lives of five thousand soldiers are in vain. How can he let go of this performance?
own opportunity.
He coughed lowly and said to the generals around him: "How is it? At first I said that this might be a trap deliberately set by Mo Jun, and that we should severely interrogate the mayor of Yingjiang Town, but you didn't listen, and now it's happened
It’s too late to regret this!”
It was not just the generals but also Tang Yin who insisted on using Backwater Bay to cross the river. Now the more he expresses himself, the more he means to ridicule Tang Yin for his incompetence.
After hearing his words, Tang Yin's eyes almost burst out with fire, and he stared straight at him, his body tensing up.
Even though Bailitu couldn't sense words and emotions anymore, he could still feel the powerful spiritual pressure emanating from Tang Yin. He shuddered with Lingling, and suddenly realized that while he was mocking the generals, he had also brought the Wind King with him.
, he hurriedly stepped forward, waved his hand and said: "Your Highness, King Feng, I have no intention of laughing at His Highness, but... I just feel sorry for those soldiers who sacrificed their lives..."
"I should feel sorry for those brothers, but I still can't help you to show off." As he spoke, he turned his head and shouted: "Ah San, Ah Si!"
"Here are my subordinates!" Ah San and Ah Si had been by Tang Yin's side for so long, and they rarely heard him roar. The two of them rushed forward with rapid strides and stepped in to salute.
Bailitu thought that Tang Yin was going to deal with him, so his face turned pale with fright, and he subconsciously stepped back. At the same time, he raised his hand and quietly held the hilt of his sword.@.
