The rumbling of war drums woke me from my sleep.

And inside the snake camp outside, there was also a chaotic sound.

A serpent general hissed and shouted, drove a large number of snake men out of their tents, put on their armor, took their blades, and assembled in the clearing.

I was hurrying to get dressed, when suddenly a white figure flashed in and startled me. After seeing it clearly, I was relieved again, it turned out to be a little doctor fairy.

"Little Doctor Fairy, what's going on outside?"

Dressed in a white dress and covered with a white veil on her face, she stood next to the curtain and said softly: "Hundreds of ships have appeared on the river, and the army on the opposite side is coming." ”

"What?!"

I frowned, and now I was already dressed, and as I walked out of the tent, I said strangely: "They occupy a favorable position, how can they give up their advantage and take the initiative to cross the river to attack?" ”

Kisui is not only a natural danger to the snake people, but also to the Izumo rebels on the opposite side. Don't look at how many ships they have, and it's impossible to send all the troops over at once.

Even if it is really delivered, the 14,000 army will not be an opponent at all in the face of the 73,000 army of the Snake Clan.

So, what are they trying to do?

With this question in mind, I ascended to a lookout tower in the southeast corner of the camp.

I looked over the Qishui, the sky was about to dawn, the sun had not yet risen, and the vast river was filled with dense shadows of boats.

These ships, which still carried the flag of the Izumo Empire, were lined up on the river, extending for nearly ten miles to the east and west.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Knock ......"

The drums of war on the opposite side suddenly became louder, and all the oarsmen began to row hard, as if they would land on the north shore in the next moment.

But of course this is impossible, they are still far from the north shore, and the snake army still has plenty of time.

They were assembled one after another, and the groups continued to march out of the camp and slowly lined up on the shore. At the same time, those dragon hunting crossbows and trebuchets began to be erected on the high ground beside them.

"No...... right"

"What's wrong?"

The little medicine fairy stood beside me and asked, as the river breeze blew her black and white hair.

I propped up the railing of the watchtower, gazed at the river from afar, stared at the fleet, and stared at the flagship with a large tree.

After frowning and thinking for a long time, I finally realized that something was wrong!

"Distance!"

I pointed to the fleet in the distance and said, "Little Doctor Fairy, look at those ships, they are still nearly ten miles away from the north shore, why did they start charging so quickly?" ”

You must know that neither the Izumo Empire nor the Gama Empire have regular sailors. The so-called sailors are nothing more than infantry soldiers on the boat.

Therefore, the oarsmen, who account for a large proportion of the ship, also have to go ashore to fight after the ship docks.

But at this time, they were too far away from the north shore, and they charged at this distance, and when the ship docked, a large number of oarsmen were already tired and out of strength, and they could not land on the shore to fight.

Before the battle, you will abolish half of your own combat power?

Judging from the contact in the past few days, the main general on the other side is not a fool, and he will definitely not do such a stupid thing.

When you think about it, there are too many doubts about this fleet.

Why did they light the lights on the ship when they chose to set off on the eve of dawn? Why do they beat the drums of war when they are still far from the shore?

This is for fear that the snake people will not be able to find them!

I rubbed my chin, and the more I thought about it, the more it made sense. This fleet is definitely just a decoy to attract the attention of the army of snake people.

And their real killer move......

"Reinforcements!"

I gritted my teeth and said these two words, turned my head to look at Ling Ying in the corner, and said in a deep voice: "Elder Ling, this Yunyun rebel army is attacking with such fanfare, I'm afraid there is fraud!" ”

"I'm worried that reinforcements from the Izumo rebels are coming. They wanted to attract the attention of our army with this fleet, and the reinforcements that had arrived secretly crossed the river from other places and attacked our flank......"

"Elder Ling, you are fast, please take a trip around Qianqidu to see if you can find the support army - remember to conceal your whereabouts."

Ling Ying didn't say much, nodded and quietly left. With his identity as a dark attribute fighting emperor, being a scout is too suitable, and of course, too extravagant!

I hurried down the lookout tower, out of the camp, and onto a small earthen bag.

Qilin has already used this place as a headquarters, because it has an excellent view and can clearly overlook the entire battlefield.

"Leader of the beggars, I suspect ......"

I walked up to the beggar and told her my conjectures.

After listening, she frowned, looked at the river in the distance, gritted her teeth and said:

"You Terrans are really cunning, and you will play with intrigues all day long. Do you dare to have a decisive battle with the warriors of my snake people?! ”

I grinned, this beggar is really not easy to communicate. But in the end, she was only a little prejudiced against the Terrans, not hateful.

"Leader of the beggars, let's discuss the next countermeasures now."

She glanced at me when she heard this, probably because she was used to my many tongues, and said directly: "You human race, tell me your plan." ”

I was stunned for a moment before I said, "Leader of the beggar lin, we have more troops than many parties, so we should naturally plan at this time." ”

"You stayed here with a large army, pretending to have fallen for the other party's scheme. And I will take 10,000 partial divisions, and if they are in a hurry, they will 'half-cross' the reinforcements that have not yet crossed the river, and if they are too late, they will have already crossed the Qishui, so they will set up an ambush halfway......"

She thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement with my plan. She gave me a silver token, and a serpent lieutenant to do my bidding.

I was a little excited to go back to the camp with the snake man captain. The army of snake people did not pour out, only 20,000 snake people lined up on the riverbank, plus thousands of troops scattered in all directions, and there were still nearly 40,000 people in the battalion.

The serpent lieutenant returned to his camp, and while ordering the assembly of troops, he summoned more than a dozen middle-level generals under his command for a pre-battle meeting.

The little doctor and I stayed outside the tent.

After all, I am a human race, and it is okay to meddle in big aspects, but if I also meddle in small things, it will inevitably cause resentment among snake people.

Standing outside the tent, I watched as the serpents assembled into a phalanx of 100 men under the command of the low-ranking officers; On the other hand, he secretly wondered why Ling Ying hadn't come back yet?

Could it be that he ran into the other party's fighting emperor?

The Ten Thousand Scorpion Sect and the Wutianfu have both joined the Dawn Empire, and with the strength of these two sects, I am afraid that there are also strong people at the peak of the Douhuang Empire......

Suddenly, there was a strange movement behind me, and I subconsciously looked, but Ling Ying appeared out of nowhere.

He was dressed in a dark blue robe, and he didn't look like he had ever fought anyone. He looked at me, shook his head, and said:

"Nalan Ye, old man...... No reinforcements were found. ”
