This silver-white scimitar is very bright, and the sunlight falls on this spotless scimitar. This scimitar is like a real mirror.
Yang Dian looked at the knife from a distance on the north bank. It was bright and a bit dazzling.
He reached out and wiped his eyes.
The pontoon bridge was so dilapidated that it was almost impossible for ordinary soldiers to pass, but this still did not change his mood and tactics.
He waved his hand and issued several military orders.
There were many sounds of water entering the mudflats of Jiangxinzhou.
A large number of sergeants were like densely packed ants, filling all containers with soil, then boarding bamboo rafts, wooden rafts, leather rafts and other floating objects, and then headed towards the north wall of Zhongli.
The size of this Northern Wei army was so huge that even though there was not a decent-sized ship among the floating objects, these floating objects carrying varying numbers of Northern Wei soldiers quickly filled the entire river.
All the Northern Wei soldiers who approached the north wall of Zhongli threw dirt and gravel into the water ahead.
Yang Dian wanted to build a shoal near the north wall of Zhongli.
As long as there is a buffer zone to accommodate Northern Wei sergeants to land, and as long as tens of thousands of people are not gathered in a crowded place, in his opinion, when he has such a large army, it makes no difference whether there is a floating bridge or not.
What's more, it doesn't take much time to completely restore the pontoon.
Arrows rained down from the city wall.
The fingers of each of the Southern Dynasty Arrow Army who braved the attack of the ordnance on Jiangxin Island and fired wildly began to bleed, but they were still doing such actions numbly.
Amidst the shrill sound of breaking through the air, rafts were constantly being shot through many silences, and soldiers from the Northern Wei Dynasty were constantly screaming and falling into the water.
But it seems that as long as it is not a separate battle with Lin Yi, this kind of normal casualties can be tolerated by the Northern Wei army.
A Northern Wei sergeant covered his throat and fell into the water.
An arrow was about to end his young life.
Before he died, he subconsciously turned his head and looked towards the north.
That's the location of his hometown.
But at this time he had already penetrated deep into the Southern Dynasties.
Between it and the large flat and rich farmland of Luoyang in the Northern Wei Dynasty, there was also a large territory of the Southern Dynasty, countless mountains, and a border line where wars were everywhere.
There are very few poplar trees among a certain rocky cliff, but on several hillsides, there are at least thousands of large tents.
The mountain wind between the cliffs is very strong and blowing all the time.
However, these large tents are extremely stable. Even the curtains of the tent doors are fixed with heavy hanging objects, and the mountain wind blows without making any annoying sound.
In this camp, the only sounds that constantly sounded were the sounds of horse hooves and footsteps, as well as the hurried conversations of some generals.
Several Southern Dynasty generals with their heads lowered walked out of a large tent.
Even with their heads lowered, you can see their deeply frowned brows and the thick gloom on their faces.
In the past twenty days or so, major changes have occurred on the border of Southern Korea.
Major changes do not come from the defeat of a major battle.
In fact, more than 20 days ago, during the stranglehold of more than 800 miles long, the Southern Korean frontier troops did not suffer any loss. The real threat to them now is to bypass these areas and suddenly appear in Zhongshan, the hinterland of the Southern Dynasty.
Wang Yuanying's elite troops.
A major change came from an imperial decree.
Xiao Hong, the king of Linchuan, became the top general in charge of all frontier armies.
As this imperial order became an unchangeable established fact, the Southern Dynasty border troops quickly split into two camps with completely different attitudes, both for Xiao Hong personally and for some of his decisions.
One camp strongly supports Xiao Hong and his strategic thinking.
They thought exactly the same thing as Xiao Hong, they wanted to avoid its edge as much as possible - they believed that the longer the Northern Wei army's front line was dragged out and the longer the battle lasted, their supplies would have problems. So they wanted to
Delay as much time as possible, rely on many fortresses to defend, or through continuous strategic retreats, while avoiding large-scale decisive battles and preserving the strength of the Southern Dynasty army as much as possible, allow the Northern Wei army to penetrate deeper into the territory of the Southern Dynasty.
The other group believed that Xiao Hong's temperament was too weak, and if he passively avoided war for a long time, he would completely lose control, and thus the Northern Wei army would gradually realize their desired strategic intentions.
Anyone who leads an army will actually have disagreements and completely different opinions among the generals below when encountering a battle like this that determines the life and death of two dynasties.
But the key is that most of the famous Southern Dynasty generals who were brave and skillful in fighting were in the opposition camp.
Xiao Hong and many important high-ranking generals of the border army were in this camp at this time, and it naturally became the center where many important military intelligence gathered.
The rapid sound of horse hooves that keeps ringing is mostly the messenger of military information.
Even faster than these fast riders, there are also flying eagles used by some armies to convey the most important military information.
These several Southern Dynasty generals with their heads lowered looked ugly, and they were only a few dozen steps away from the tent where Xiao Hong was. There was the sound of fluttering wings in the sky, and a black falcon fell down and landed on one of the tents.
On the outstretched arms of the famous general.
"How is that possible!"
The general pulled out the urgent item from the brass tube, glanced at it, and then narrowed his eyes.
"Zhongli City has not been lost yet."
Before the other people spoke up, he took a deep breath and said in a slightly cold voice, "Before this military order was delivered, Zhongli City had not been lost."
"Wait a little longer."
A general next to him pondered for a breath, and did not judge the authenticity of this military information, but said calmly.
With the speed at which they transmit military information, it would take at least a day and night for the battle situation in the Zhongli City area to be transmitted here.
The military information they received at this time was the military information that occurred a day and night ago, and did not represent this time.
The general holding the falcon didn't say anything and just nodded.
At night, a larger falcon flew into the camp.
"Tie Ce's army, Lin Yi's troops, go to the rescue and defend Zhongli City!"
At dawn, the latest military information about Zhongli City was conveyed.
But all the military information about Zhongli City, including the messages from other parties, are consistent.
Zhongli City was not lost.
Zhongli City was still in the hands of the Southern Dynasty.
"How is that possible!"
"Zhongli's garrison only has more than 3,000 troops, and Tie Ce's Lin Yi troops have only 3,000 troops... In the Northern Wei Dynasty, Xi Ruyu's troops have an army of 100,000, and Yang Dian's Bone Army has 30,000. This military intelligence actually says that Zhongli City has not yet been conquered! This is simply nonsense!
"
In a certain camp tent, there was such a loud shout.
"Report!"
"Xi Ruyu was killed by Lin Yi!"
Long after the sharp shouts faded away, as some new military information arrived, exclamations of surprise rang out in many camps at the same time.
