The first thousand one hundred and ninety-three chapters attack the Taiyuan mansion and cross the Fe
The eyes of the King of Killers No. 1 and Nie Xiaoyu soared. With their strength, even if they fight with all their strength, there are not more than two people in the world who can get close without being discovered by the two of them.
Although Nie Xiaoyu's last all-out blow put Killer King No. 1 at a disadvantage, it still failed to injure Killer King No. 1 at all. At this time, he could only take advantage of the situation and eject to retreat, putting some distance between him and Killer King No. 1, and then Look towards Shen Guoer.
Killer No. 1, however, ignored Nie Xiaoyu and suddenly shouted: "Messenger of Spring and Autumn, you are seeking death."
As he spoke, Killer King No. 1 was already shooting towards where Shen Guoer was, and almost at the same time that Killer King No. 1 moved, a long laugh came from where Shen Guoer was, and a thin figure The figure grabbed Shen Guoer and floated away to the southwest like a ghost.
This person is the Spring and Autumn Messenger who has been hiding for several years after the forces of the Immortal Yin Sect were betrayed by Nie Xiaoyu and Wang Junlin.
Nie Xiaoyu was a little surprised when she saw the back of Killer King No. 1 rushing to catch up. It stands to reason that Killer King No. 1 would not care about Shen Guoer's life or death, unless there was something in Shen Guoer that Killer King No. 1 cared about.
She remembered the trap that Killer King No. 1 had hidden on Shen Guoer, and her face suddenly dawned on her, and she chased after the Spring and Autumn Messenger and Killer King No. 1 in the direction they left.

Just as Li Jing, Yuchi Jingde, Lu Han, Guan Xiaotong and Li Shimin led the Li army to perform a mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind the scene on the eastern battlefield, they had completely consolidated Luo Shixin and Wu Si in Luliang County and Xinkou County. The battle between the men under his command and Li Shentong, who has moved to fight in these two counties, is imminent.
It was not that Li Shentong finally realized that he wanted to conquer these two counties, but that after Wang Junlin came to these two counties from the Luliang Mountain Secret Road, he immediately ordered preparations to attack Taiyuan Prefecture, which is next to Xinkou County.
Li Yuan, the king of Tang Dynasty in Chang'an, also knew Wang Junlin's next move. Considering that the northern route troops led by Li Shentong suffered heavy losses, Li Yuan, with the support of various powerful families, mobilized five more troops to set off from Chang'an City to march towards The advance of Luliang County forced Wu Si of Luliang County not to act rashly.
Since the war with the Far East Army started on three sides, Li Yuan only had 80,000 troops left in Chang'an City. The reason he was able to mobilize 50,000 troops was because in just two months, Li Yuan had raised another 50,000 troops. .
The reason why it was so fast was because the large and small aristocratic families, led by the Dugu clan, each had different numbers of servants to protect them. For example, the Dugu clan directly supported 2,000 guards, while the smaller ones only had one or two hundred. These servants and guards were originally elite soldiers. Li Yuan mobilized generals and quickly integrated them. After a little training, they formed an elite army of 50,000 horses.
Leading this group of 50,000 troops was Chai Shao, who suffered a big loss in front of Wu Si last time. This march was very cautious and steady. It was almost impossible for Wu Si to devour them in a short time like last time. Already.
As for Luo Shixin, the area from Xinkou County to Taiyuan Prefecture belongs to the Fen River Basin. This area is mainly dominated by river rice fields, especially within a hundred miles close to Taiyuan City. The terrain is extremely unfavorable for cavalry deployment, but in The area east of the Fen River in Luliang County, about fifty miles south to south and seventy miles east to west, is a relatively flat saline-alkali land that has not yet been reclaimed as cultivated land for irrigation.
Therefore, these areas are either barren of grass or are overgrown with weeds and dotted with a few sparse trees.
This kind of terrain can be said to be both advantageous and disadvantageous for the Tornado Battalion - this is a natural battlefield. Like the Storm Battalion, the Tornado Battalion is the two pure cavalry battalions of the Far Eastern Army, crossing the river.
Later, such terrain facilitated the deployment of the Tornado Battalion, but similarly, such terrain also facilitated the cavalry led by Li Shentong to take advantage of its advantages.
Therefore, Wang Junlin and Luo Shixin expected early on that there would be a fierce battle after crossing the river.

In the fourteenth year of the Great Cause, at the end of December, Wang Junlin ordered the Military Intelligence Bureau, Xiaoyu Theater and other forces to mobilize a large number of manpower in Taiyuan on the grounds that the greed and corruption of the Li Yuan Group had caused the people of Taiyuan to live in a life of water and fire.
The government first conducted some psychological warfare before officially launching a general offensive against Taiyuan Prefecture.
It is only separated by the Fen River, but Taiyuan Prefecture is much richer than Luliang County. It is even called the place of Xinglong like Guanzhong.
These days, the Far East Army is not idle.
Wang Junlin mobilized a large number of craftsmen from the Yancheng Shipyard in Fanyang County. Under the protection of the Military Intelligence Bureau and the Fanyang Chamber of Commerce, he concealed his identity and came to Luliang County to build hundreds of warships with special functions.
He also asked three thousand naval officers and soldiers to bypass Youzhou and the Turkic territories, and then came to Luliang County through Mayi County and Luliang Secret Road. They used the warships built by craftsmen these days to form a navy.
On January 1, the fifteenth year of the Great Cause, Wang Junlin ordered this special navy to set off from Luliang County and advance downstream along the west side of the Fen River away from Taiyuan.
This navy consists of 700 large ships, yellow dragon ships, black dragon ships, and various civilian ships.
These boats are all prepared according to the pontoon bridge plan planned by the bridge master from Fanyang County these days. They are pre-made for erecting pontoon bridges and crossing the river. The boats are filled with thick bamboo poles and ropes. The mighty boats
The fleet went down the river and sailed in.
On the Fen River to the east, there is also a naval force of the Li family army, all of which are warships. There are more than a thousand boats racing across the river, with rafts and oars like a forest.
Li Jiajun's North Route Commander Li Shentong led the Li Jiajun's most elite Peking Camp with 100,000 troops and 10,000 naval troops here.
A few days ago, Li Shentong lost more than 30,000 people when he attacked Wang Junlin's camp in Shuozhou. However, these days, he mobilized more than 30,000 people from Taiyuan Prefecture and other counties in Hedong, bringing the troop strength to
One hundred thousand.
Whether it was land defense or field battles, Li Shentong knew that his troops were much weaker than the Far Eastern Army, but he had full confidence in water battles.
This is of course because he knows very well that although the navy of the Far Eastern Army is powerful and famous all over the world, it is on the sea, and the Fen River is an inland river. Unlike the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, it is impossible for the navy on the sea to come no matter what.
of Fenhe River.
Under the leadership of Li Shentong, the Ten Thousand Water Division of the Li Jiajun had practiced a lot, and their combat power was not weak.
Judging from the information sent by Li Shentong to make detailed reports, the Far East Army formed a navy of 3,000 men in order to cross the Fen River. However, Li Shentong believed that the Far East Army's improvised boats and the 3,000 men pulled up were
The men and horses are no match for our own 10,000 navy troops.
As long as the navy can block the opponent, no matter how powerful the Far Eastern Army is on land, it can inflict heavy losses on the water and defeat the Far Eastern Army.
The entire Li family army already knew that Wang Jun was going to send troops across the river from Luliang County to attack Taiyuan Prefecture in the near future. Not to mention the movement of an army of 50,000 to 60,000 people. It was impossible to conceal it. Li Shentong led the army on the east bank of the Fen River and had already entered a state of combat readiness. Everyone was fully armed.
, the swords were at war, and the navy soldiers ate and slept on the warships. As long as the horn sounded, thousands of warships could rush out.
However, because he suffered successive defeats in the early stage, Li Shentong always adhered to the principle of focusing on defense. The Li Jiajun on the east bank of the Fen River was defending troops everywhere, but he saw that the ships of the Far Eastern Army were of different sizes and were very scattered, and they were not on his side.
Compared with the navy, the ships sailed past the center of the river, just like a mixed army, and he felt contempt in his heart. Although Li Shentong felt something was wrong, he thought that "the soldiers will stop the water and the earth will cover it", so he just ordered the people below to strengthen their war preparations.
Be vigilant, and as soon as the 3,000 naval divisions temporarily formed by the Far Eastern Army cross the center line of the Fen River, warships will attack.
They never thought that these ships were not used for water warfare at all.

On the east and lower reaches of the Fen River, more than thirty miles away from Li Shentong's army, is Linhe County.
Zhong Yao, the elder of the martial arts guild, and Huang Shixiong, the guard of Linhe County, stood at the top of the city. Behind them, the screams that had been ringing in the city since early in the morning gradually became less and less intense.
The Linhe County Magistrate has been imprisoned, and some loyal people who were loyal to the Li family have also been killed. During this period, the four city gates have been closed, and nothing that happened in the city has been spread outside the city.
The insect demon secretly calculated the time, turned around and said solemnly: "Huang Shixiong, the one-hundred-foot-long pontoon bridge here in Linhe County is being erected by the soldiers from the thousand engineer supply camp who have sneaked into the nearby area in recent days. Once the pontoon bridge is
Once the erection begins, Li Shentong will surely realize that it is up to you at this time. As long as you can lead people to block the people sent by Li Shentong for an hour, you will have made a great contribution."
"Don't worry, Mr. Chong, the villain was originally a dead soldier trained on Snake Island. It's just that unlike other brothers who formed a team among the people, the villain happened to be a soldier of the Li Family Army. Over the years, he has been attacking all the way and became a captain of the Li Family Army.
Lieutenant, guard this Linhe County." Huang Shixiong took a deep breath and said hesitantly: "I have never doubted that the prince can capture Hedong, but laying a pontoon bridge on Fenhe River within an hour is unheard of. This matter...
………”
The insect demon smiled and said: "Huang Shixiong, with the prince and the person on Snake Island, it doesn't matter if you build a pontoon bridge in an hour."
The insect monster said this without any beginning or end, but when Huang Shixiong heard this, his eyes flashed with light, his whole body was shaken, and he no longer had any doubts in his heart.
If anyone else, including the person who is most familiar with Fenhe River and knows best about water warfare in the world, brought up this kind of thing, it would only make everyone laugh.
No one believed that manpower could build a pontoon bridge on the Fen River within an hour.
However, if this matter was planned by King Qin An, who had created countless miracles, then no one would doubt it.
…………
…………
The fruits planted by the thousand dead soldiers sent by Nie Xiaoyu and Wang Junlin from Snake Island back then have blossomed today, and they made their first contribution in the attack on Taiyuan Prefecture. The Far East Army did not use a single sword or shot.
Then they successfully captured Linhe City.
The natural purpose of occupying Linhe City was to build a pontoon bridge on the Fen River and transport troops and grain across the Fen River.
The construction of a pontoon bridge had already been done many years ago, but it took a lot of manpower and took many days to build it. There had never been a precedent of a pontoon bridge being built within an hour before.
Although they avoided the front of the army led by Li Shentong and began to lay a pontoon bridge on the river facing Linhe City, which was dozens of miles away from the east side of Li Shentong's army, Li Shentong's side also soon knew what the Far East Army was doing, and also
Sensing changes in Linhe City.
Although Li Shentong and his officers and soldiers were shocked and angered by the rebellion of Huang Shixiong, the defender of Linhe City, when they heard that the Far Eastern Army was building a pontoon bridge on the Fen River, they thought it was just whimsical and child's play, and they didn't take it to heart at all.
Because of the width of the Fen River, it would take at least seven or eight days to build a pontoon bridge. During this time, their navy and army had plenty of time to reach Linhe County and kill all the people who were building the pontoon bridge at this end.
