Nearly a day and a night, running more than 300 miles, Zheng Cai was very satisfied with the speed of the march.

When Zheng Cai's cluster arrived at the edge of the Min River, both the ferry and the river had completely fallen under the control of the Shenzhou Army and Navy. It's just that both large and small ships are hidden in the scattered islands near Minkou. This can only be done by ships like the Shenzhou Army, which do not have excessively tall masts.

On the shore, the land forces of the Shenzhou Army strictly controlled the crowd and completely cut off the leakage of news. This made Zheng Cai, who came to the riverside to prepare to cross the river, almost completely unaware of the danger he would face.

Zheng Cai, who was sitting in the command car, like almost all Zheng family members, had a square face and a short beard, and he was also one of the most prominent figures in the Zheng family. Among the people of the Zheng family, his power was far greater than that of Zheng Sen, but he could not but support him completely loyally.

Now staring at the battle map on the table, his brows furrowed. But Zheng Cai couldn't help but hesitate a little about starting a war with the Shenzhou Army.

In his heart, he didn't want to start a war with the Shenzhou Army, although he had nearly 60,000 troops equipped with chariots, but when facing this world-famous Shenzhou Army, he couldn't help but muttered a few words in his heart.

In the face of the strong, this is also something that there is no need to question. But Zheng Cai could not help but order his army to attack. This is entirely because of his brother Zheng Zhilong.

For his brother's ability to control people, Zheng Cai admires it very much in his heart. He left his sons who remained at home to be assisted by their ordinary old brothers. And what he brings with him is the outstanding generation of the young generation of the Zheng family. This is also the reason why these old brothers of the Zheng family have to obey Zheng Zhilong's arrangement.

On top of the face of the evening, there was a faint, vague mist. Like his brother Zheng Zhilong's estimate, Zheng Cai also guessed that the waterway was firmly in the hands of the Shenzhou Army's fleet.

Therefore, the arrangement of the crossing of the river was such that the time was carried out at nightfall. And according to Zheng Cai's arrangement for the Shenzhou military fleet, his team was arranged six miles away from the shore. At first, he would send some arsonist ships using long pulp down into the river, and the purpose of these arsonists was to avoid being attacked by the Shenzhou navy.

As the night deepened, some of the soldiers carrying small boats slowly approached the bank of the Min River. They all came from Quanzhou in a carriage with their boat.

These were the special equipment of the Zheng family's army, with which they could quickly propose pontoon bridges or load firewood and grass when crossing the river, and use them as fireboats to launch attacks on the enemy's naval forces.

In particular, in the narrower river channel, the faster speed of this kind of small boat happens to be the nemesis of those warships, so this equipment can also be regarded as the characteristic of the Zheng family's naval battle powerhouse to form an army!

Zheng Cai had been using a telescope to observe these small boats descending into the Minjiang River, and as long as these small boats were attacked, he would immediately transfer the military cannons and set them up near the river bank to bombard them from a long distance.

Yet under the moon, like a long, shining serpent, snaked in front of him. Apart from the turbulent river, there is no other movement.

Zheng Cai, who was standing in the command car, used a telescope to search Jiangxin Island over and over again, and the riverbank looked dark against the background of Fuzhou City. The reaction of the Shenzhou Army made Zheng Cai feel strange, it is said that such a large-scale action on the river, it is impossible for them not to notice it, but why is there no action.

Even until a small boat landed on the small island in the middle of the river and sent back a safety signal with a rocking torch, the entire Min River was still silent.

"Am I wrong? Could it be a trap! ”

Zheng Cai thought for a moment and gave an order.

"Second dial!"

This time, the boats that went down to the Min River were slightly larger, and these were the boats used to carry the light cavalry equipped in the Zheng family's new army to cross the river.

Since this time it was a cavalry crossing the river, the deafening sound of horses' hooves echoed on the night bank of the Min River, where the night wind was whistling. Surprisingly, however, there was still no movement on the river.

In general, if the fleet of the Shenzhou Army appeared on the river now, Zheng Cai would not be afraid. Because his chariot was still on the shore, in his impression, as long as his chariot did not go down to the river, he did not have to worry about the Divine Army's fleet that was so strong that people could not resist.

Obviously, he knew that the Shenzhou Army had arranged warships in the middle of the Min River.

When Bolo observed the coming and going warships of the Shenzhou army on the river, he sent some elite cavalry squads to cross the Min River from a narrow place upstream, catch up with Zheng Cai's army, and inform him of the situation here. He must pay attention to the ambush of the Shenfang army in the Min River.

That's why Zheng Cai was so cautious when he crossed the river.

As the night grew darker, even a small part of the cavalry units that had just crossed the river had already landed on the opposite bank. According to his request, three Kong Ming lanterns were raised at the head of Fuzhou City to indicate safety, and then Zheng Cai made up his mind to prepare for the chariot to cross the river.

On the small island in the middle of the river, there are people everywhere using torches to make safety signals.

Seeing that the ferry was up and down, front and back, left and right, all of which were signs of safety, Zheng Cai breathed a sigh of relief. An order was given to the chariots to begin crossing the river. As long as these two divisions crossed the river safely, they could get the opportunity to engage in a melee with the Shenzhou Army. At that time, the forces that had absolute superiority at that time would not have been defeated too badly!

In the deep darkness of the night, the chariot, which had been hidden in the distance, quietly moved. Even, where they drove over, Zheng Cai ordered someone to lay some soft turf. In this way, the wide wheels of those chariots did not make much noise when they passed by.

A distance of three thousand meters is nothing at all for these tanks. Like dumplings on a chopping board, they descended into the river in batches, and soon the river was covered with chariots.

The sound of the chariot crossing was completely muffled in the noisy Minjiang River. All that could be seen was that under the light of the moon, there was a layer of chariots floating on the river.

Of course, the speed of the chariot in the water was not fast, but without the slightest hindrance, the boats of the cavalry at the front of the line docked one after another, and they quickly disappeared into the dark city of Fuzhou according to the plan.

Zheng Cai felt a little more relaxed, now that at least a considerable part of the cavalry had landed on the opposite shore, and a considerable number of infantry had also taken control of the small island in the river, everything seemed to be going so smoothly for the time being.

But for some reason, Zheng Cai just felt that there was a shadow in his heart, and he couldn't wave it away from his heart.

I didn't want to look up at the moon, it was big and round.
