On the south bank of the Ganges River crossing, in the camp of the Tianzhu army, the king of the sea did not feel the slightest sleepiness, nearly a thousand ships were taken away by the Jin army, and the grain and grass of the army were burned by the Jin army, these two things happened at night on the same day, which made the king of the sea protector extremely annoyed and afraid. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This has just made contact with the Jin army across the river, and it has suffered such serious losses, and the morale of the army has seriously declined.

At present, the top priority of the Tianzhu army is to obtain enough grain and grass as soon as possible, otherwise, once the army runs out of food, the consequences will be unimaginable.

The Sea Protector immediately issued an order for the defenders in the direction of Fahrenheit City to transport the grain and grass in the city to the main camp to relieve the urgent need.

Hua's city is only more than twenty miles away from the Tianzhu camp, which is not very far, so as long as the defenders of Hua's city receive this order, they can transport enough grain and grass for the army to consume half a month's worth of grain and grass to the camp within half a day.

In addition, after the Jin army got nearly a thousand ships, it is very likely to launch a strong attack on the south bank, so the Tianzhu army must also be prepared to meet the strong attack of the Jin army.

Early the next morning, on the north shore of the ferry, half of the soldiers and horses under the command of Hua'an had boarded the large and small ships, and waited for the order to go out.

Hua An stood on a high platform, looked at the soldiers and horses under his command who were ready to go, and smiled with satisfaction, half of the soldiers and horses on this expedition, including the 20,000 soldiers and horses of Persia, and the elite soldiers and horses under the command of Wang San, with a total strength of more than 50,000 people, can be regarded as a very large army.

Hua'an did not have much hope that this army would be able to successfully capture the ferry on the south bank, after all, this was a tentative assault, in order to verify the combat effectiveness of the Tianzhu army and lay the foundation for the next victory over the Tianzhu army.

"Your Majesty, the soldiers are all ready to march to the south bank at any time." The ministry reminded.

Hua An stretched out his hand and said, "The army immediately set off and launched an attack on the south bank." ”

......With the sound of the war drums of the march, nearly 1,000 warships of the Jin army left the ferry port on the north bank and marched towards the south bank.

Hua An always stood on the high platform, watching his army sail towards the south bank, and was full of confidence in the army under his command.

"Report, Your Majesty, the scouts on the south bank have just sent back the news that the 3,000 troops of Tianzhu set off from Hua's City and escorted a large amount of grain and grass to the Tianzhu camp, and the defenders of Hua's City are already less than 5,000." Just as Hua An looked at the south bank, a general reported loudly.

Hua An was very happy when he heard this, and looked at Song Cheng beside him, and said with a straight face: "General Song, this is a good opportunity, if our army can take advantage of the situation to capture Hua's City, then the Tianzhu army will definitely be frightened." ”

When Song Cheng heard this, he nodded and said: "What the king said is very true, this is indeed a good opportunity, however, the ferry is occupied by the main army of Tianzhu, if our army crosses the river from the downstream, the big ship will not be able to dock at all, and can only rely on small boats to cross the Ganges, and the capacity of small boats is limited, so our army can only cross the river with a small number of soldiers and horses, and all of them are infantry, so the strength must be very weak, and it may not be possible to succeed in sneaking up on Hua's City." ”

Hua An nodded with a smile and said softly: "What General Song said is that there is no ferry downstream, and you can only rely on small boats to cross the river, however, this king feels that the defenders of Hua's City must not have imagined that our army will launch a surprise attack, so the preparation will definitely not be sufficient, so even if our army only has a small number of infantry, it can completely capture Hua's City." ”

"Speak, Your Majesty! How to attack Fahrenheit City, the last general is willing to personally lead the troops there. Song Cheng said.

Hua An thought for a while, and said: "General Song Cheng, you personally led three thousand soldiers and horses, carried three hundred small boats and a thousand thunderbolts to the downstream, and crossed the Ganges River after nightfall, and then, with lightning speed to attack Hua City, and captured Hua City in one fell swoop, Hua City was firmly controlled, this king believes that as long as the general can capture Hua City, Tianzhu's main force will be discouraged." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the last general will receive the command." Song Cheng hugged his fists and accepted the military order issued by Hua'an.

Subsequently, Song Cheng selected 3,000 elites from among the soldiers and horses under his command, and asked them to work in groups of ten, each with the accessories of a small boat, so that they could quickly assemble it when they arrived at their destination, and at the same time, each group of soldiers also had to carry three or four thunderbolts to use in the raid on Fahrenheit.

After everything was ready, Song Cheng led three thousand soldiers and horses to quietly run downstream, in order to hide people's eyes, Song Cheng's army deliberately galloped north for more than ten miles, and after entering the no-man's land, he turned to run downstream, after all, it was morning at this time, there was still a long time before nightfall, Song Cheng's army set off by camel, and the distance of twenty miles was nothing to Song Cheng's army.

On the south bank of the Ganges crossing, the Sea Guardian King and his subordinates all stood on a high platform and looked at the more than a thousand ships slowly approaching on the north bank, and all the Tianzhu soldiers were ready to fight, as soon as the Jin fleet reached the range of their bows and crossbows, they would immediately attack.

"Your Majesty, the Jin army has really launched an attack on us, it seems that they are very urgent, eager to destroy our army!" A Tianzhu general sighed.

"Hmph, the Jin army is wishful thinking, our army has more than 100,000 troops, and they are arrayed along the river, how can the Jin army break through our army's defense line." A Tianzhu general said confidently.

"Yes! No matter how strong the Jin army is, it will never be possible to break through our army's defense. "All the Tianzhu generals are full of confidence.

The Sea Protector King looked at the Jin army fleet that was rapidly approaching, his forehead was bruised, and he ordered: "When the Jin army approaches, immediately launch the fiercest attack, and let the Jin army know the strength of my Tianzhu army." ”

"Yes." The Tianzhu generals replied loudly.

Soon, the Jin army's fleet entered the attack range of the Tianzhu Arrow Tower along the river, and under the order of the Tianzhu general, the Tianzhu crossbowmen in the arrow tower immediately shot the arrows in their hands at the Jin army that was gradually approaching.

The number of Tianzhu Arrow Towers is very limited, and the arrows shot are also sparse, which can not have a substantial impact on the attacking Jin army, and only a very small number of Jin soldiers were shot by Tianzhu arrows, which caused a small number of casualties, but the Jin fleet continued to move rapidly, and soon reached a distance where they could launch a counterattack on the Tianzhu Arrow Tower.

Under the orders of the Jin generals, the Jin soldiers on the cabin and deck immediately fired arrows and launched a fierce counterattack on the Tianzhu Arrow Tower.

The Jin army had a large number of soldiers and horses, and was equipped with a repeating crossbow that could fire crossbow arrows continuously, so the density of shooting was extremely high, and all the crossbowmen on the arrow tower along the river of the Tianzhu army were quickly wiped out, and the threat from the arrow tower was removed.

Subsequently, the Jin fleet continued to approach the shore and had the momentum of forcibly landing on the ferry port on the south bank.

The Sea Protector King standing on the high platform saw how powerful the Jin army's bow and crossbow were, and he actually cleared all the Tianzhu crossbowmen on the arrow tower so quickly, and he was very shocked in his heart, and at the same time very afraid, he was afraid that the Jin army's soldiers and horses really had the ability to rush to the shore and land on the south bank, so he immediately ordered: "The army will attack immediately, and the Jin army must not be allowed to go ashore." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The generals were ordered to leave, and immediately led tens of thousands of troops to the edge of the ferry port.

Tianzhu's tens of thousands of troops, with shield bearers as the vanguard, quickly reached the shore and lined up along the river bank, launching a fierce attack on the emergency fleet that was gradually approaching.

The Tianzhu army fired a lot of arrows, and the ships that rushed to the front of the Jin army were shot into hedgehogs, but this could not stop the Jin army from continuing to attack, and the Jin army was on the warship, and Tianzhu's soldiers and horses along the river launched a fierce confrontation, and each other was damaged, but no one was hit hard.

The Tianzhu army has formed a formation and deployed along the ferry port, but the Jin army's soldiers and horses are all staying on the warship, and there is no chance to land and deploy at all, so they can only continue to stay one stone's throw away from the shore and shoot at the Tianzhu soldiers and horses on the opposite shore to deal a blow to the Tianzhu army on the shore.

After attacking for a period of time, the Jin army saw that the defense of the Tianzhu army was very in place, and there was no hole to drill, so it slowly withdrew to the north shore and broke away from contact with the Tianzhu army, and the remaining warships of the Tianzhu army were not very many, so they did not dare to launch a pursuit at all, so they could only let the Jin army leave.

Of course, after all, the Jin army retreated, but the Tianzhu army still won the victory in the defensive battle, which somewhat made the Sea Protector King's heart feel a little more comfortable, and rewarded the soldiers and horses in the defensive battle.

"Your Majesty, see it! The Jin army is not remarkable, the previous warships were robbed, and the granaries were burned by the Jin army, all because of the negligence of our army, if our army was vigilant, the Jin army would not have such an opportunity at all. A Tianzhu general said proudly.

"That's right, the Jin army is extremely cunning, our army must be vigilant, as long as our army is vigilant, it is impossible for the Jin army to defeat our army." Another general said.

Obviously, in their opinion, the reason why the Jin army can win is completely by exploiting the loopholes of the Tianzhu army, as long as the Tianzhu army blocks all the loopholes and effectively increases vigilance, it can completely defeat the invincible Jin army.

When the Sea Protector King heard this, his originally ugly face finally eased a lot, he nodded, and said to the generals under his command: "What you said is too right, my Tianzhu is deeply protected by the Brahmins, how can I be defeated by the Jin army, the Jin army's invasion of Tianzhu is a great disrespect to the Brahmins, the Brahmins will definitely not let go of the Jin army, and the Jin army will definitely be punished by the Brahmin gods." ”

"What His Majesty the King said is that I, Tianzhu, am blessed by the Brahmin god, and no one can destroy Tianzhu, and Tianzhu will surely defeat the evil Jin army." General Tianzhu said affirmatively.

Subsequently, the Tianzhu Ministry will use the Brahmin God Society to protect Tianzhu as a gimmick to encourage all Tianzhu soldiers to be full of confidence in defeating the Jin army.

On the north bank of the Ganges River crossing, all the soldiers and horses under the command of Hua'an have landed and returned to their respective camps, although this battle failed to defeat the Tianzhu soldiers and horses, but they have learned some of the situation of the Tianzhu army, especially the situation of the Tianzhu arrows has been completely figured out.

Hua'an was still quite satisfied with the conscription horses, and greatly praised them, and rewarded those with outstanding performance.

After evening, the sky is getting darker and darker, in a dense forest more than 20 miles downstream, Song Cheng's three thousand soldiers and horses are assembling small boats, thinking that they are used to cross the river after dark.

"General, all the ships are ready, just wait for dark." One of the generals whispered.

Song Cheng nodded lightly, and said, "Leave fifty soldiers to guard the camels, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will carry the boat and march to the shore." ”

"General, it's not dark yet, will the action be discovered by the Tianzhu scouts at this time?" The general said cautiously.

Song Cheng waved his hand and said: "It's already very dark, and besides, there are no people on the north shore at all, no one will find out, besides, the sky here is not very good, it is very likely to fog after dark, and once it is foggy, we may not be able to find the way to the past." ”

"Yes, General." The general answered, and immediately led the soldiers to the shore.

By the time the 3,000 men and horses arrived at the shore in batches, the sky had completely darkened, and at least from the direction of the opposite shore, it was impossible to find such a force of soldiers and horses.

The Song Cheng army could only rely on the iconic geographical features of the opposite bank to move slowly towards the opposite bank, and if they could not see anything, they would definitely get lost on the wide Ganges River, and thus do not know where to look.

Song Cheng's army quietly went into the water, lined up in three columns, and slowly rowed towards the south bank, a towering mountain peak on the opposite bank is their coordinates, as long as they see this coordinate, they will not go the wrong way, and after arriving at the opposite bank, they can quickly use this mountain peak as a benchmark to quickly find Tianzhu's Hua's City, this mountain peak is naturally the coordinates found by the Jin army scouts, and provided to Song Cheng.

After nearly half an hour of hard work, Song Cheng's army finally arrived on the north bank one after another, and hid in the dense forest on the north bank.

After Song Cheng landed on the shore with all his soldiers and horses, he immediately issued an order to smash all the ships, leaving only two or three small boats to use as a message to show the courage of breaking the cauldron and sinking the ship.

"General, I've found Fahrenheit City, it's two miles to the east, and you can see it as long as you cross the small mountain in front." A scout who had just been dispatched rushed back into the woods and hurriedly reported.

When Song Cheng heard this, he was excited, and led several generals to inspect in person, the scout was right, Hua's City is two miles to the east, and the lights in the city illuminate the entire city transparently, and it is a rich city at a glance. (To be continued.) )
