The next day, when the large army came to this side of the Hutuo River, Liu Tao had already prepared more than 20 boats around.

The original design was based on eight boats to create a pontoon bridge. It's just that after the craftsmen came to see it on the spot yesterday, they found that no, for the sake of safety, sixteen ships were needed. Two boats are placed on the other two sides as a precaution.

"The river of the Hutuo River is a bit urgent...... not to mention the soldiers behind, Liu Tao, the original southerner, felt that the river was a little turbulent.

"It rained two days ago, and it's not surprising that the water flow has risen." The old craftsman is obviously well-informed, "Generally, the water flow will ease down after a day or two, but no one can guarantee whether it will rain in these two days." ”

"Then don't wait, let's start erecting the pontoon!" Liu Tao shook his head, two days later, two days later, two days later, can this river be crossed?

"The planks and other materials, I have prepared them before I came, it will take about two hours to build, do you want to try to build a simple pontoon bridge first, and let some of the soldiers pass?" The craftsman asked.

"............" Liu Tao looked at the other side of the river, almost six or seven hundred meters apart, and he didn't see anything like the enemy camp above in the distance, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

The craftsmen were ordered to get busy and quickly began to work with the splicing of wooden planks, and soon completed a pontoon bridge that could be passed by a single person. Strictly speaking, two people should be allowed, and the craftsman said that it was best to go solo for safety. At the same time, the distance between the two cannot be less than ten steps.

"Yun Chang, you first bring your corporal over, and then Shangguan Yu, you stabilize the formation over there first, and we may have to rest there for one night tonight." Liu Tao immediately looked at Guan Yu and Shangguan Yu.

"Whoa!" Guan Yu received the order and immediately commanded the soldiers to go over.

When it was his turn, Zihua seemed to be a little afraid of water and didn't want to go, so Guan Yu was appeased and let the horse move forward little by little. The whole army, on the contrary, was the last to cross the river.

By this time, the second batch of planks had been spliced together, and the craftsmen began to erect the second round of pontoons.

Shangguan Yu, who had just sent the crossbowmen over, had to wait until the second round of pontoon bridges was completed.

"Brother, what's going on across the river?" Lu Yan looked at the other side of the river, but he didn't see anything, so he had no choice but to look at Liu Tao.

This was discussed yesterday, and at the beginning of the river crossing, Liu Tao placed the 'Sky Eye' in the front area. Within a radius of ten miles, they are all within the monitoring range, and whether the enemy intends to ambush or surprise attack, he cannot escape his 'eyes'.

"There are no enemy troops within a radius of ten miles." Liu Tao shook his head, the center is on the Hutuo River, and both sides of the river are under surveillance.

The purpose was not only to place the enemy army to kill from that side, but also to prevent the enemy from crossing the river in advance, and then take advantage of the fact that they were halfway across the river, kill them from behind, and burn the baggage.

"Hmm......" Lu Yan nodded, feeling a little relieved, what people are most afraid of is the unknown.

Even if a dragon appeared in front of him, at least he would know how to deal with it. But I don't even know where the enemy is, how many there are, and how strong the combat power is, and at this time, there is often a situation where you are scared of yourself.

"The enemy is coming!" About a quarter of an hour later, Liu Tao finally said that the second part of the pontoon bridge was completed at this time.

At this time, two soldiers were allowed to cross the river at the same time, and even some baggage soldiers were allowed to carry some supplies. The archers had completely passed, and were planning to arrange for the cavalry to cross the river in an orderly manner.

The sword and shield soldiers and crossbow men have passed, so unless the other side sends more than 300 cavalry, there is not much threat. Liu Tao confirmed that this distance was still within the casting range, probably because he could 'see' the relationship between the other party.

The magic began to beat, he originally had 5 points of magic power, but at the moment it became 6 (+1), this is the meta-transformation magic, in the state of battle, initially obtained 1 point of meta-transformation magic, which is counted in the mana. Because it's only a beginner, you can accumulate up to 3 points, which means that you can increase your mana by 3 points.

The way to increase his points is to click on the 'Secret Catalyst' skill, but he hasn't clicked on it yet, so he can't continue to increase his points.

The enemy's army, which has completely appeared in the reconnaissance range at this moment, numbered as high as three thousand, mainly broadsword soldiers and pikemen, in terms of armor and spirit, this is definitely an elite army.

"There are 3,000 enemy troops on the opposite bank, mainly broadsword soldiers and pikemen, and no crossbowmen have been found!" Liu Tao immediately announced.

"Immediately inform Guan Junhou and Shangguan Junhou!" Lu Yan immediately ordered the approach, and the latter hurriedly crossed the pontoon bridge and arrived on the opposite bank to inform Guan Yu and Shangguan Yu stationed there.

"Oh, there are enemy troops ......" Guan Yu nodded, he looked ahead, in the end, it was five miles apart, maybe this distance is shortening now, but there is really no trace of the enemy on the horizon at present.

It's just that he knows very well in his heart that this should be the result of his brother's 'seeing', and I have to say that this Tianyan is really convenient.

"Crossbowmen crouch down and get ready to shoot, archers ready to shoot!" Shangguan Yu gave the order as soon as possible, and the soldiers below acted according to the order, without the slightest doubt, even if they did not see any trace of the enemy.

Military orders are like mountains, all soldiers may not learn much martial arts, they learn two things the most when they enter the barracks: constantly boiling their strength, and on the battlefield, they must obey orders unconditionally!

That is, the crossbowmen are slightly different on their side, that is, they will do whatever it takes to train their archery. During this time, during the exercises, they almost kept shooting, shooting, shooting, and shooting, even if the arrow was damaged, they had to keep shooting, so as to improve their hit rate.

"Sword and shield soldiers prepare to defend!" Guan Yu immediately gave an order, and after the crossbowmen finished shooting, they relied on sword and shield soldiers to resist the enemy. Three thousand enemy troops, one round of shooting, can probably cause three or four hundred casualties, and the formation will also be disordered, and then rely on sword and shield soldiers to cover.

"Guan Junhou, I'm here to help you!" A familiar voice came from behind him, but it was Liu Ge who led the five hundred soldiers of the headquarters to come to support. They themselves have already begun to cross the river one after another, and now that the second part of the pontoon bridge has begun to be built, two by two, five hundred people do not need much time.

"The rear will be handed over to you!" Guan Yu didn't look back, just shouted. Originally, I was worried that the enemy would attack the crossbowmen from the flanks, but now I am a little more relieved.

At the head of the story, the thief side was led by a thief general and two lieutenant generals to the river. They received news early that the officers and men had begun to plan to cross the river to the south, so they stationed the thief generals in the middle of the two rivers as the vanguard, intending to give the other side a half-crossing attack.

I thought that when my army suddenly arrived, the officers and soldiers would be panicked, but when I came to see it, I was immediately depressed, and this was all in a good position......
