The series of deployment actions carried out by the Yan army were naturally all under the noses of the Jin army scouts, so Hua An could clearly know the detailed deployment of the main army under Murong Ke, so as to find out the loopholes in the Yan State's Yishui defense line, so as to break through the Yan army's Yishui defense line in one fell swoop.

After two days of intense preparations, the army under the command of Hua'an prepared all kinds of materials are more sufficient, and the tree trunks and planks used to build the pontoon bridge are piled up, and it is more than enough to build dozens of pontoon bridges on the not very wide easy water.

In addition, the number of warships in Shuizhai has also doubled, there are more than two hundred, and all of them are medium-sized warships with strong combat effectiveness, and the rest of the small wooden ships are countless.

In order to ensure the supply of grain and grass for the army in front, Hua'an ordered to build a huge granary in Lukou City, and transported a large amount of grain and grass from Yecheng to the direction of Lukou City, and then, according to the consumption of the army in front, continuously transported grain and grass to the south bank of Yishui.

With such abundant supplies and equipment, as well as a large number of soldiers, Hua'an believed that it was only a matter of time before the Yan army's Yishui defense line was breached.

Since he was about to attack the north bank of Yishui again at night, in the morning, Hua An led some of his generals to inspect the camp to determine the morale and readiness of the army under his command.

After a brief inspection, Hua'an was generally quite satisfied, and the preparations of the army under his command were very sufficient, and the morale was also very full, which was enough to show that the morale of the officers and men under his command had not been greatly affected by the failure of crossing Yishui a few days ago. Huaan was relieved a lot.

In the water village, Hua An and his subordinates boarded a high platform that was two feet high, so that they could see the warships of the entire water village.

Standing on the high platform, Hua An and his subordinates raised their eyes and looked down, in the water village near the shore of Yishui, there were hundreds of large and small warships, among them, there were more than 200 medium-sized warships and more than 500 small wooden ships.

"Look, Your Majesty. Our army has so many warships. In a battle tonight, our army will definitely be able to break through the Yan army's Yishui defense line. Wang San said confidently.

"Yes! Your Majesty, this time our army is more prepared, and the soldiers and horses under General Xie share the heavy task of containing the 60,000 Yan army. And so it goes. Our army has become stronger. However, the soldiers and horses of the Yan State to defend Yishui have become a lot weaker, and tonight, dozens of our army launched an attack at the same time. The defenders of the Yan Kingdom must be difficult to resist. Zhuge Xiong also said confidently.

Hua An nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Tonight's battle will depend on the generals, and this king will ask you." After speaking, he looked at his subordinates.

"Don't worry, the king, we will go all out, and in a battle tonight, we will definitely be able to break through the Yishui defense line." Wang San took the lead and said.

"Don't worry, the king, we will definitely break through the Yishui defense line tonight." The generals said in unison.

Hua An nodded, looked at the five hundred small wooden boats in Shuizhai, suddenly had an inspiration, thought for a moment, and said loudly: "If the small wooden boats are lined up in a row and wooden planks are put on them, wouldn't the speed of laying the pontoon bridge be greatly increased." ”

"Your Majesty, if you use a small wooden boat to lay wooden planks to build a pontoon bridge, the speed must be much faster than using a tree trunk to lay a pontoon bridge, so that our soldiers and horses can raid the north bank of Yishui more quickly, so that it will be difficult for the Yan army to resist." Wang San affirmed Hua'an's idea and expressed his support.

The rest of the generals were also very interested in Hua'an's suggestion and studied it with Hua'an.

After careful study, Hua'an decided to nail all the wooden planks to the top of the hull of all the small wooden boats, leaving only a small part of the bow and the passer, as long as it was enough for two soldiers to stand on the bow and stern.

In this way, two soldiers can easily operate the small wooden boats one after the other, and when the two small wooden boats are side by side, the four soldiers on board can tie their heads and tails with ropes, so that the two small wooden boats can be nailed together, and if hundreds of small wooden boats are tightly tied together with ropes at the same time, then a pontoon bridge across the easy water is completed.

The five hundred small wooden boats in Shuizhai are all connected together, enough to connect all the way to the north shore of Yishui, and there is even a certain amount of leftover, for this reason, as long as these five hundred small wooden boats are well prepared, they can play a huge advantage in night operations, so as to break through the Yan army's Yishui defense line in one fell swoop.

The generals listened to Hua'an's plan, and they all greatly appreciated it, and used small wooden boats to connect each other to build a pontoon bridge to the north bank of Yishui, as long as the soldiers cooperated well, it could be completed in a very short time, so that the Yan army on the opposite bank did not have enough time to prepare.

"Your Majesty, it is indeed a good way to build a pontoon bridge with small wooden boats, but the easy water flows from west to east, and I am afraid that after many small wooden boats are connected together, they will be washed away by the current!" One general voiced his concerns.

When Hua An heard this, he nodded approvingly, and then, Zhengse said: "It is true that small wooden boats building pontoon bridges will be washed away by the current, but our army can deploy more than a dozen warships upstream and use ropes to pull the small wooden boats that have been lined up into a pontoon bridge, so as to avoid the pontoon bridge being washed away by the current." ”

When all the generals heard this, they all agreed to Hua'an's proposal, and then Hua'an officially issued an order for his 1,000 soldiers to immediately nail the middle of the 500 small wooden boats with wooden planks and conduct a brief training to get closer, so that they could quickly get close when attacking at night.

After arranging the direction of the water village, Hua An led his subordinates to return to the Chinese army's big tent and further study how to storm the Yishui defense line.

At this time, the Jin army's Xie Ai army had arrived near the north bank of Yishui and stationed on a high ground less than ten miles away from Fanyang City.

In order to better cooperate with the main army under Hua'an to break through the Yishui defense line, the army under Xie Ai made active preparations and was ready to be ordered to attack the Yan army at any time.

At this time, the Jin army Xie Ai's army has approached the vicinity of Fanyang City, and the main force of the Jin army on the south bank of Yishui is also actively preparing, so this situation seems to indicate that the Jin army is about to launch a large-scale attack.

"Fourth brother, news has just come back from the south bank, and the main force of the Jin army seems to be ready to force the crossing of Yishui, perhaps, an attack will be launched tonight." Murong Ba looked at Murong Ke and said.

Murong Ke nodded and said softly: "You are right, the Jin army is very likely to launch a full-scale attack on our army tonight, and our army must make comprehensive preparations." ”

"Fourth brother, now that the Jin army's Xie Ai army has arrived near Fanyang City, it poses a great threat to the flank of our army, and it has greatly restrained our army's soldiers and horses, why don't our army take advantage of the main force of the Jin army on the south bank to attack, concentrate superior forces, and break the Xie Ai army in one fell swoop, so that the Jin army's two-sided attack plan will completely fail." Murong Ba said loudly.

When Murong Ke heard this, his face moved slightly, he thought for a moment, and said: "What you said makes sense, instead of being attacked from both sides of the Jin army at the same time, it is better to concentrate on annihilating the Xie Ai Legion of the Jin Army first, however, in case our army cannot quickly defeat the Xie Ai Legion, and the main force of the Jin Army has launched a large-scale attack, the Yishui defense line will be dangerous." After saying that, he became worried.

"Fourth brother don't worry, our army only needs to use the 60,000 soldiers and horses and 40,000 reserve soldiers and horses to defend the Xie Ai Legion, a total of 100,000 troops, to defeat the Xie Ai Legion, the 60,000 main forces and 30,000 recruits defending the Yishui defense line do not need to be mobilized at all, and when the main force of the Jin army on the south bank of Yishui launches an attack, our army can withdraw at any time to reinforce the Yishui defense line." Murong Ba said loudly.

Murong Ke pondered for a moment, and said: "Judging from the current situation, it can only be like this, let the soldiers immediately prepare for battle, and launch an attack on Xie Ai's army at dusk today." ”

"Yes, fourth brother, I'll arrange it." Murong Ba answered, turned around and went to prepare.

Subsequently, the 100,000-strong army of the Yan State made urgent preparations to launch a fierce attack on the Xie Ai Army, which had just arrived near Fanyang City and had an unstable foothold.

In order to defeat Xie Ai's army, Murong Ke's soldiers and horses were all the elite army of Yan State, among them, there were 30,000 horses and horses in the iron rope cavalry alone, and the hundreds of heavy chariots of the Jin army captured also joined the team attacking Xie Ai's army.

Murong Ke urgently transferred troops and horses in the direction of Fanyang City, and this situation immediately aroused the vigilance of the Jin army scouts, and immediately reported to Hua'an.

When Hua An learned of this situation, he immediately realized that Murong Ke was desperately attacking the Xie Ai Legion, and for this reason, he immediately issued an order to let the army under his command prepare for battle in advance and be ready to force the crossing of Yishui at any time to deal with the Xie Ai Legion on the north bank of Yishui.

Under Hua'an's order, the officers and men under his command made active preparations, especially the 500 small wooden boats all left the water village and assembled at a position not far downstream, so that when they received the order, they could quickly build a pontoon bridge.

At this time, Hua'an's goal was very clear, if Murong Ke led the main force to attack Xie Ai's army, he would attack the north bank of Yishui in advance, and if Murong Ke did not move, he would attack at night according to the original plan.

In order to break through the Yishui defense line in one fell swoop, Hua'an has decided to use all the soldiers and horses of the battalion to establish dozens of crossing points along the south bank of Yishui, so as to greatly disperse the defensive energy of the Yan army on the north bank, and in order to confuse the Yan army, the Jin army's crossing place is bright and dark, and the bright place can attract the attention of the Yan defenders, and the dark crossing point can be quietly launched under the cover of the bright location, so as to catch the Yan defense army off guard, and then make it easier for the Jin army to break through the Yan army's Yishui defense line. Achieve the ultimate victory. (To be continued......)
