"General, Jin Xuedi doesn't have hysteria in his brain, I really can't see it in my army!"

Su Hong said, Bailiyan was also confused:

"Ben thinks we're hysterical."

Su Hong rolled his eyes and said weirdly:

"Could it be that our army can still let them cross the river and not fight back?"

Bai Liyan nodded reluctantly:

"I'm afraid that's what they think, they cross the river, and our army doesn't fight back. So it's not that they have hysteria, it's that our army will get hysteria then, otherwise they're fools. Let's keep an eye on it and estimate how many rafts they've built! ”

"Yes!"

Bailiyan was unpredictable for a while, and people kept estimating the progress of the Jin Xuedi people in many places.

In the afternoon alone, it is conservatively estimated that more than 100 rafts were bundled and worked overnight. By the night of the second day, more than 300 rafts had been bundled, far exceeding the floating logging required to cross the river, and by the third day almost the entire forest on the east bank had been cut down.

The situation immediately became strange, and everyone could see that the Jinxuedi people did not want to build a pontoon bridge, but to use a raft to force the crossing.

"What the hell General, Jin Xuedi is going to row a boat to land, as of today, there are at least seven or eight hundred rafts, even if each one only carries fifteen people, there must be more than 10,000 people, it seems that there is no sign of stoppage, they are not crazy!"

Su Hong was surprised, and then Jiang Jie touched his chin with a sparse beard and said:

"They want to cross the river, but they also want our army not to fight back, my lord, my subordinates always feel that there is only one person who can do more things."

"Who?"

"God or ghost!"

Su Hong laughed when he heard the news:

"Jiang Jie, aren't you evil, the general has already said that there are no ghosts and gods in the world, and Jin Xuedi is also born and raised by his mother, how can he invite the gods to help in the war."

"General Su Hong, don't misunderstand, this ghost and god mentioned below is not another ghost and god, but an unknown mystery to our army, which can suppress all our army, and the army's heart is in turmoil."

Jiang Jie explained that Bai Liyan thought deeply:

Jiang Jie is right, there is indeed a possibility. This reminds the general of the Yongxing River battle, the black turban army in the scorching summer season, actually issued cotton clothes, its heavenly master in the Miaotian Mountain a fire, the snow in the sky to the world, if not for the general in advance to see through this plan, our army of more than 400,000 horses, has already frozen to death by the Yongxing River.

What Jiang Jie said is not unreasonable, if it is not done well, Jin Xuedi's bad tricks may be a natural vision. Under its adequate preparations, our army was unprepared, and its morale and morale were shaken, and it was not impossible for them to take the opportunity to cross the river on all fronts.

But in this way, it will be troublesome, there are many natural visions, can't the people of Jin Xuedi still be able to predict the earthquake and shake us to death? ”

Bai Liyan felt that if the coalition forces wanted to turn their eyes and not move, it would have to be a doomsday disaster at the level of destroying the country. Such as a magnitude 10 earthquake, a meteorite collision, a flood outbreak, the Black Death, dengue fever, and so on, and it must be precisely positioned and guided with precision-guided strikes, otherwise on a frontline of more than 150 miles, it will not be possible at all to see them landing without moving.

"Let's go, go to Jiao Muhua's place."

"Yes, my lord!"

As soon as the words fell, a team of fast horses went straight to the camp, led by Jiao Muhua:

"The last general will see the general."

Baili Yan was puzzled, and hurriedly asked:

"Ben was about to go to you, but General Jiao came by himself."

"General Qiqi, the enemy's commander will send someone to cross the river from Manibasar to deliver a message, and specify that this letter will be handed over to the general."

"Oh!"

Bailiyan was surprised, and took the letter, and on the front of the envelope was written "To Bailiyan" in four Chinese languages, and the signature was the commander of the corps, Mooni Yar Queka.

The content of the letter was very simple, inviting Bailiyan to meet on the morning of April 18, at 8 o'clock in the morning, on the Manibasa River. It feels like it is the way of a person and the body of a person.

"My lord, this river is not ice, my lord will be within the range of their firearms, in case of fraud, my lord is afraid of accidents, and he must not go!"

Jiang Jie objected, and Bai Liyan shook his head:

"He is so confident that he will not do such a despicable thing in his own way, and besides, it is only some inferior firearms, and then he only needs a cloth to burrow into the water to avoid being plotted. For Ben General, it is meaningless at all, and it seems despicable.

What worries the general is that on April 18, there must be a natural vision, and now it is April 16, and Bai He is not yet in place, and there are only two days left for us, and it seems that we can only change our plans again.

General Jiao Muhua! ”

"The last general!"

"Immediately spread the word to all the horses in your defense area, forcibly march north, except for food, grass and personal belongings, all that cannot be taken away will be burned on the spot, and the same cannot be left to the enemy, the sooner the better!"

"In such a hurry, if the enemy takes the opportunity to force the crossing, once the cavalry crosses the river, our army will be very passive."

"No, Ben will immediately rush to the west bank of Manibarsa, and Ben will be in charge himself, and it is expected that Mooney will not turn his back on the sky and attack rashly."

explained to Jiao Muhua in detail, and Bai Liyan said to Jiang Jie again:

"Jiang Jie, immediately send someone to order Bai He, no longer need to go to the Jiaomu Hua Defense Area, and his various troops will immediately return to Montina, assist Lu Gao, Fang Liang, and Tian Peng in evacuating, burn everything that cannot be taken away, and retreat north to Kelownas as soon as possible. Then he took the pack horse and went west to join Sikong Nan. ”

"My subordinates will do it immediately."

"Su Hong, all the men and horses of your department immediately assemble in Armando, and be sure to wait until the men and horses of Jiao Muhua's department arrive and retreat north together."

"The Last Will Do Duty"

On April 18, there were only two days in the company, not to mention that the navy could not wait, and it was impossible for the coalition army to retreat in any case.

Soon after the order was issued, Bailiyan hurried to Manibarça with Jiao Muhua, and finally arrived at the shore in the afternoon of the same day.

The half-crippled pontoon bridge on the river surface was thrown and floated on the east bank, the artillery positions of the Jinxuedi people were extremely busy, and the cavalry and infantry were completely in a state of excitement before the battle, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood and drugged, and they were completely different from the previous state, so that Bailiyan had the illusion that he had lost the battle.

"It's weird, what the hell, what crazy are they all about."

"My lord, the enemy forces on the east bank along the way are like this, and it seems that they are going to attack on all fronts." Jiang Jie said.

"But there must be a reason, and the general really can't think of any reason to let our army of more than 200,000 people remain indifferent and let them slaughter. Go, intensify the urging of the battalions to the south to withdraw north, and before the first half of the night, must pass through Manibasa. ”

"Yes."

Bailiyan really couldn't think of which "great immortal" in the sky Muni would invite to go down to earth to fight with him, a mortal. But the weirdness doesn't stop there. After dark that night, the coalition forces rapidly retreated north along the river, with countless torches along the way, and the news soon reached Mooney's army:

"What, they withdrew?"

"Yes, Your Excellency, withdraw your troops from south to north all the way north." Norenga said quickly.

"Let's go to the river!"

When you come to the river, you don't need a telescope, and you can see tens of thousands of torches with the naked eye, like a coiling dragon swimming to the north, stretching for dozens of miles:

"It's weird, isn't it possible that Baili Yan can be unpredictable!"

"Your Excellency, what an unknown prophet, is the retreat of the northerners the letter sent by Your Excellency?"

"No, it's not. Our army will attack on all fronts on April 18, and Bailiyan will not be able to control the whole army at that time, and will be crushed by us in one fell swoop. But now that he has suddenly withdrawn his troops, I really can't understand what he wants to do. Is he stupid enough to give up the West Bank to me, or is it another ruse by him? ”

"Your Excellency, what exactly is going to be sent on April 18, how can the northerners be so easily defeated by our army." Norenga asked.

"I have asked the High Priest, and the High Priest has assured me that the moon god will bless us when the time comes. Go, send someone along the river to the north to inquire about the situation, and return to report to me as soon as it is daylight. ”

"Yes!"

Early the next morning, the scout cavalry sent the news back to the battalion:

"Commander of the Qi Army, the northerners on the west bank along the way have been rapidly withdrawing north since noon yesterday, and the enemy forces on the north side of the river are also gathering towards Armando."

"Armando? Will the troops be divided and assembled for Armando, or will all the troops and horses be assembled? Mooney asked busily

"The northernmost enemy forces are retreating south to Armando, and the enemy forces north of Armando are also massing in Armando, and all enemy forces should be massing towards the west bank of Armando."

Mooney spread out the map, and his eyes fell on Amando, puzzled, when Norenga said:

"Your Excellency, it is not surprising that our army is preparing to cross the river with great fanfare on the east bank of Armando."

"But the strange thing is that all their troops are massing towards the west bank of Armando, and that's very problematic. Could it be that Bailiyan really wants to give up the entire defense line and set some trap in Armando? ”

Mooney was suspicious and thought about it for a while, and continued to ask the visitor:

"Where are the northerners' cavalry now?"

"Commander of the Qiqi Corps, according to the report of our army's coastal garrisons, there has been no trace of the enemy cavalry for four days, and its whereabouts are unknown."

"Unknown!" With a frown, Mooney seemed to realize something, and immediately asked Norunga: "Norunga, where are the 20,000 cavalry sent by the northerners before?" ”

"I got the news two days ago that the 20,000 cavalry of the northerners had captured more than 70,000 Central Plains people after breaking through Furstein, and were heading for Pidessa, and they should have arrived in Pidessa."

"I really don't understand more and more, what is Bailiyan doing, attacking to the west, retreating to the north at the same time, giving up the entire west bank, and now the whereabouts of the 30,000 cavalry are unknown, can I really see through the heavenly opportunity and set up a trick to lure me into the bait?"

"Your Excellency, since the northerners have now abandoned the west bank, why don't our troops build bridges from upstream at this time and test their reality?"

"Well, you have a point, give the order to the Sabunon garrison as quickly as possible, and immediately lay the pontoon bridge."

"Yes!"
