At this time, the ships were not particularly large, so a few people were able to carry them away by working together. Even if it's a little bigger, a few more people will help! Although it is tiring, it is reasonable to use a special method at a special time.

As long as there are more than 100 wooden boats that can seat 10 people, 1,000 people can cross the river at a time, and so on, more than 6,000 people only need to cross the river six times. Once the army has assembled, it is ready to attack.

"Let's do it! Tu Qi, take your people to block the coast, and make sure that the news from our side does not leak out to the other side at all. As long as we wait until we cross the river and attack, there is no need to block the news anymore. After agreeing, Li Xin ordered everyone to prepare and wait for the evening action.

Soon, when night fell, Liu Xiaohai, who rushed back to Dali County first, took Li Xin's warrant overnight and transferred the soldiers and horses under Peng Lin. Then, taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the transfer of ships began.

This work took a long time, and the distance between Xiayang County and Dali County was more than 200 miles, and if you walked forward, it was naturally impossible to go anywhere faster.

So, on the first night, they walked about half the distance, and then hid and rested during the day. It was not until the next evening that the boat was sent to the mountains.

After everything was ready, Li Xindang ordered the army to set off and put the collected boats into the water, and the army quietly set out. With the efforts of the boatmen, they took advantage of the moonlight in the middle of the night to row towards the opposite shore.

Since the chosen landing place is between the two counties, it lands on the river beach on the west bank of Fenshui, and then can directly reach the east of Fenyin County through the bridge over the river, thus completing the entire landing process.

It's basically a two-way zone. The steep cliffs in the east are formed by the impact of the Yellow River over time, which is very common in the entire Yellow River Basin.

Although there are defenders patrolling on the other side, it is not tight, so Yin Chi is not a famous general, and he is not very proficient in this war. There are not many defenders in the counties below, and the defense is actually very loose. Li Xin had already found out all this news very clearly.

At this time, the flow of the Yellow River was larger than that of later generations, so the river channel was naturally wider. The river is several miles wide, and the current is fast, so it is really impossible for ordinary people to control such a place.

It is also because of this that many soldiers are pale when they come ashore, after all, it is not a wonderful feeling to feel this fluttering in this small boat.

After Li Xin saw this, he couldn't help but secretly decide in his heart that he should let his soldiers train more relevant skills in the future. Otherwise, even if the river is crossed, it will inevitably greatly affect the combat effectiveness.

After a busy night for most of the night, Li Xin finally landed on the east bank of the Yellow River with his army. By the time the more than 6,000 troops had crossed the river, it was already the second half of the night, and in less than two hours, the sky would be bright.

But instead of attacking immediately, he had the boatmen rock the boat back, and then secretly marched southeast with the army.

His main goal this time was to directly find Yin Chi's main force and wipe them all out in one go! Because if you do this, the problem of Hedong County will basically be solved.

And to do this, he had to take it by surprise and quickly appear outside the county seat of Puban, and attack the opponent by surprise. Obviously, this little time before dawn is not enough for the army to rush to Puban County.

Once he marches in the daytime, he will definitely expose his whereabouts, so that Yin Chi has to be prepared in advance! Even if the opponent's combat effectiveness is not particularly strong, it will inevitably bring a lot of trouble to his actions in the end. In the end, it may even affect the overall plan because of this, and Li Xin certainly does not want such a thing to happen.

Therefore, he was going to hide the army first and wait until the next night before acting, so that there would be no big problem. And in this Hedong County, there is just one place that can hide the 6,000 army and can be arrived before dawn, and that is Gufeng Mountain.

This Gufeng Mountain was a scenic spot in later generations, but it was still a sparsely populated place at this time! Because the population of Hedong County is not as dense as in later generations, everyone naturally does not have to go to the mountains to forage for food. With the mountains high and the forests dense, it is just right for you and the army to hide in them.

After two hours of rapid marching, the group plunged headlong into the reckless mountains and forests! After Li Xin had set up the light and dark sentry posts, he ordered the army to rest on the spot, not to move around noisily, and wait for the night to fall. And he himself, after taking a nap until dawn, he summoned Liu Xiaohai and others to come over.

"Three thousand troops, you take them all the way to the east, first take Wenxi County, and then take Hengling Pass and Yuan County in the east! After that, you send people back to take Anyi County, and in this way, your mission is complete, as long as you stick to these cities! I'll give you 200 cavalry to accompany you!" "The six thousand army divided into troops, and Li Xin asked Liu Xiaohai to act alone! And he himself and Liao Chuan went directly south to capture Pusaka.

There are nine counties in Hedong County, and there are three counties near the east bank of the Yellow River, from north to south are Fenyin County, Xie County, and Puban County! Najie County is in the southwest of Linyi County in later generations, and at the same time, in the southeast of this Linyi County, there is also a Yishi County!

On the north bank of the Yellow River to the south of Zhongtiao Mountain, there are two counties, from west to east are Hebei County and Dayang County!

This Hebei County is not far from the north of Xiangcheng County in later generations, but Dayang County is just on the bank of the Yellow River opposite Sanmenxia City. These two counties are backed by Zhongtiao Mountain, but in front of them is the Yellow River, and it has to be said that the terrain is dangerous.

The remaining counties, in addition to Wenxi County and Anyi County, Yuan County is in the east of Yuanqu County in the later generations, at the junction of the three mountains of Wangwu Mountain, Taihang Mountain and Zhongtiao Mountain. This place is one of the eight Taihang passes, so there is a vital Hengling Pass.

Basically, as long as this place is held, it is basically equivalent to cutting off most of Hedong County from the Central Plains to the east.

Moreover, it is basically impossible for those remnants of Hedong County to flee to the east of Taihang Mountain. This place is one of the main objectives of Li Xin's troops in Hedong this time, and it must be taken.

Hedong is basically not much different from Guanzhong, because of the Yellow River, plus surrounded by mountains on three sides, so it is also a dangerous place. In addition, it is also a fertile land for agricultural production.

Therefore, once this place is taken, it will be of great significance to the Huashan Army, and it is not just a matter of salt.

"Don't worry, general, I know what to do!" Liu Xiaohai nodded!

After a short discussion, they were speechless. Everyone hid in the mountains and forests, recuperating and preparing for the battle at night. By the time night fell, the rested army was already in good spirits and ready to act.

The two armies came out of the mountains and soon divided their troops.

Li Xin and Liao Chuan took 3,000 soldiers and horses, set off from Gufeng Mountain, and headed straight to Puban County in the southwest direction. Directly from the junction between Fenyin County and Xie County ~ interspersed in the past, from these two counties to borrow the road, take advantage of the night to run a long distance, the first half of the night is almost in a hurry.

Thanks to the fact that the people of this era do not live at night like later generations, otherwise, there will be people hanging outside in the middle of the night, and the army will definitely not be able to hide it. The straight-line distance between Gufeng Mountain and Puban County is nearly 120 miles, so in the middle of the night, the army is in a hurry.

When there were still more than three hours before dawn, Li Xin finally led people to a place more than ten miles outside Puban County. At this point, he halted the army for a while, ready to rest before starting the battle. At the same time, it is also to send people to reconnoiter the situation.

The 100 cavalry accompanying him were used by him as scouts, and rushed to Puban County to investigate before the army.

"General Qiyu, there is silence outside Puban County, and there are soldiers guarding the city, but the basic attention is on the river side, and there is not much defense in the east direction of the city. Yin Chi's soldiers and horses, except for those guarding the counties, are basically camped along the river line and deployed on the spot, never thought that we would fight from the rear! "Tanma came back to report.

"Excellent! Liao Chuan, did you hear that? Give you two hundred men and horses, and lead them to the top of the city, and then quickly open the gates. This battle, we must end before dawn, so that we can have time to deal with those armies outside the city! The cavalry will stay here first, and when my order arrives, they will attack! Li Xin nodded, and then said to Liao Chuan beside him.

"General rest assured, the last general will definitely complete the task!" Liao Chuan stood up solemnly and said solemnly.

Soon, the army quietly approached the outside of Puban County, and the 3,000 army quietly approached a few miles outside the city when it was darkest before dawn and the defenders were the most sleepy! Then the army dispersed, and rushed to hide outside the south, east, and north gates, and there were about a thousand soldiers and horses outside each gate, but only the westernmost gate had no soldiers and horses.

Liao Chuan took his elite men and quietly approached the city. This Pusaka county is not very tall, so relatively speaking, it is much easier to break in. Liao Chuan and the others quietly erected a simple wooden ladder outside the city and slowly climbed towards the city.
