Chapter 108: Morale is high

Liu Tao was also resting, after all, tonight's night attack, whatever he said was to be commanded in the center. However, it is estimated that the weather is hot and dry, or the mosquito bites, and some can't sleep.

That is, he opened his eyes slightly and looked outside the tent, and vaguely saw a few wisps of golden energy.

"I didn't cast magic, did I?" Liu Tao was shocked, looked at the mana carefully, and confirmed that it had not decreased, which was even more strange, so he got up and walked out of the tent.

When I really walked out, I was immediately shocked by the scene in front of me. I saw thousands of strands of golden energy, gathering from all directions in the barracks, and finally gathered in the sky above the barracks.

Vaguely, these energies converge into a shape...... Of course, it is not in the shape of a golden eagle, but it is indeed golden yellow.

In the game, when morale reaches a certain height, there will be a 'morale boost' effect. Let the troops that have already completed the operation get an additional chance to act, of course, the action and attack power will be halved.

The most direct manifestation of the 'high morale' is the appearance of a 'golden eagle' on the heads of the troops. However, it was obvious that the golden thing in the sky above the barracks was not an eagle, but just a golden energy, which gave people the feeling of morale.

It's just that the speed of formation is not fast, so that energy does not condense in the sky, and I don't know what use it is.

"Do you want to add more fire?" Liu Tao couldn't help but think, after all, the 'belief in the golden dragon' can boost morale. Especially now it's an expert-level light magic that can increase morale by 15 points. It's completely possible, so that the morale that has been on the doorstep can be pushed to a higher level.

"No, no, it's a waste of ...... now," he dismissed.

As long as this morale still exists, then there is no need to use it so quickly, there is still more than an hour to get up and attack at night, as long as it is still there at that time, then maybe it can have an effect during the night attack.

Not long after, the veterans were able to sleep for a while, but the recruits were really insomnia. Before he could sleep, he was driven up by the officers and began to assemble.

"The pontoon bridge is ready to be erected." The craftsman came forward to report that the pontoon bridge does not necessarily need a boat, only some boat-shaped driftwood, and then equipped with wooden planks to complete the construction. That is, the water here does not flow fast, so it is not a big problem.

"How long will it take to set it up?" Liu Tao asked, during the time of the set-up, the army could not cross the river, but the movement would definitely attract the attention of the other side.

"It's done quickly, just push things into the water and hold the planks on both sides." The craftsman hurriedly replied that the overall structure of this simple pontoon bridge has been built, and only about forty or fifty soldiers need to help carry it and put it down, and then fix the wooden planks on both sides and extend it to ensure that the pontoon bridge will not be washed away by the current.

After a pause, he continued: "Of course, if you put some dirt on it, you can avoid fire attack very well, but the weight will increase a lot......"

"There is no need, before the opponent's fire attack, it should have been able to kill the enemy's position." Liu Tao shook his head, he was also worried that too much dirt would cause buoyancy to drop, and when the time came, it would affect the cavalry crossing the river.

Seeing that Liu Tao said that, the craftsman didn't talk nonsense, and went down directly to arrange.

"Brother, the soldiers have been assembled!" As soon as the craftsman left, Lu Yan immediately came over to report.

"Very good, let Yun Chang prepare, as soon as the pontoon bridge is laid, he will immediately lead the army to rush over and seize the position. Then Zirui's pikemen, then Xingming's crossbow troops, and finally Yide's cavalry troops! When Liu Tao heard this, he immediately gave an order.

"Is it okay to leave only a thousand soldiers here in the headquarters?" Lu Yan was very worried about whether the enemy army would sneak across the river to make a surprise attack.

"It's all around me!" Liu Tao shook his head, at present, there are no enemy troops in a radius of ten miles. In fact, an hour ago, or even earlier, he had been watching, and had not noticed the enemy's crossing of the river.

In other words, even if all the soldiers are sent over at this moment, there is no need to worry about the baggage troops being implicated.

If necessary, it is nothing for the baggage troops to go into battle, anyway, in the case of a drill every three days and a major practice in five days, the amount of training is about the same as Qi Jiguang's troops.

"If necessary, I will command the baggage troops to meet it." Lu Yan obviously thought of this as well.

"You can rest assured, but if that time comes, I'll leave it to you." Liu Tao nodded, then led the horse and led the large army to the edge of Zhangshui.

The craftsman had already carried the pontoon bridge with his baggage soldiers, and the movement here obviously made the thieves on the other side notice.

Originally, a guard was arranged, and the time was only around twelve o'clock, not yet in the dead of night. Fortunately, with the help of the cover of night, the soldiers did not have night blindness, so they could see the road, and after watching for a long time, they couldn't see the reason.

It wasn't until the pontoon bridge began to be erected, and the light of the fire on this side hit a part, that they caught their attention. Then it exploded directly, and the whole camp began to be noisy, and the sound of gongs kept coming, which was a warning.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack......" The thief camp kept shouting, and then the thieves rose up one after another. The soldier in charge of the guard hurriedly took out the arrows soaked in grease and wrapped in cloth with arrows, lit them in the bonfire, and hurried to shoot them towards the pontoon.

"Cross the river!" Liu Tao knew that the big war was inevitable, so he immediately shouted and secretly cast the 'Faith of the Light Dragon'. A huge golden light covered all the soldiers, and finally it actually converged further into the golden energy mass that was gradually forming in the sky.

As a large amount of energy converged, this energy mass began to gradually take shape, from an ever-changing form to an elongation.

"Giant serpent? No, isn't it?! Liu Tao thought it was a snake at first, but quickly denied it, and as claws, heads, long whiskers, and horns formed one after another, a golden dragon roared in the void.

Immediately turned into a golden light, sprinkled on every soldier, and for a while, the whole army seemed to break out, full of fighting spirit.

They couldn't feel the magic power, they only knew that Liu Tao burst into tears, their hearts were full of fighting intent, and their bodies were full of inexhaustible strength. Originally, I was still a little tired or sleepy, but I suddenly woke up, and my energy was indescribably abundant.

"Cross the river!" Guan Yu also noticed all these changes, so the big knife pointed forward and shouted.

The sword and shield soldiers immediately sped up the speed of crossing the river, and vaguely increased their speed a little. When they all came to the other side of the river, under the command of Guan Yu, they were the first to kill the enemy position. If the opponent's crossbow troops are not dealt with early, then the pontoon bridge will always be in danger.

What's even more amazing is that the arrows shot by the other party were actually directly swept away by the guards with the shields in their hands, and the three or four hundred crossbowmen, excluding the crossbowmen, had some use, and the arrows shot by the three hundred archers almost failed to hurt these sword and shield soldiers.

"Morale is high, it turns out that this is morale!" Liu Tao suddenly became excited.
