Three days later, in the evening, our army of 60,000 finally arrived in Qiancheng.

This city is just an ordinary third-level main city, and the scale is not large. But in the south of it, there is a big river with a wide water surface, which is more than 30 miles!

Standing on the north bank of the river and looking south, in the setting sun, you can only see the boundless sparkling waves filling the entire field of vision, and the golden sky turns into one color, and you can't see the south bank at all.

Only by climbing the corner tower at the head of the Qiancheng city and looking south, can you vaguely see the land on the south bank and a city that echoes the "Qiancheng" from afar - Qicheng.

It's just that no one can tell whether Qianqidu was named because of these two cities, or these two cities were named because of Qianqidu.

"What a wide river!"

Standing beside me, Qi Lin looked at the vast and vast "Qi Shui", and couldn't help but exclaim, sighing: "I'm afraid this river won't be smaller than the Gorgon River, right?" ”

The Gorgon River, also the river next to the Snake People's Holy City, is also the largest river in the Tagore Desert, originating from a mountain peak in the northern part of the Warcraft Mountains.

But after all, passing through the desert, the runoff of the Gorgon River is not very large, at most it is the same as the Qi water in front of you.

But in the Izumo Empire, the largest river is "Red Water", and the Tagor Desert is too barren compared to natural resources.

It's just that now, I wish the "Qishui" in front of me would be smaller.

I smiled bitterly, this Qiancheng was not captured by the 3,000 army of the snake people, but the defenders of Qiancheng saw the approaching army of the snake people and took the initiative to abandon the city.

Naturally, the difference is very large, and the defenders take the initiative to abandon the defense, so they have enough time to make some preparations before abandoning.

For example, they burned down the entire city, and when I looked down, there were only charred ruins and broken walls in the city, and there was not a single complete house - it can be described as "the four walls of the city", and the snake army could only set up tents outside the city.

At the same time, the defenders also patronized all the towns and villages near Qiancheng, and burned all the door panels and wooden planks - there was no piece of board left on the north bank of Qishui.

Along with all the piers on the North Shore, they were burned. And those ships and boatmen were also collected by the defenders to the south bank.

In this case, if the snake army wants to cross the river, they can only cut down trees to build boats.

But how much time does it take?

I couldn't help but look at Ling Ying in a corner, and asked cautiously, "Elder Ling, look, is there any way you can make the snake army quickly cross the Qishui?" ”

Ling Ying was stunned for a moment before she reacted, rolled her eyes angrily, and said, "What can I do?" ”

"The old man is the Dou Huang, not the Dou Emperor!"

"Can you still expect the old man to wave his hand and directly evaporate, freeze, or divert the water?"

Well, I sighed, with Ling Ying's cultivation, of course I couldn't do this kind of thing. What's more, he's still a dark attribute...... If Hai Bodong is here, can he temporarily freeze a section of the water, connect the north and south banks of Qishui, and let the army of snake people cross the river?

He once froze a city!

It's just that the city is only a third-level main city, only four miles from east to west, and only three miles from north to south. However, the Qi water in front of him is as wide as thirty miles, and the two are not the same level at all......

What's more, the city is dead, but the water will flow, and the water flowing with a width of 30 miles will flow together, how huge is this kinetic energy?

I'm afraid it will wash away the ice on the surface of the water......

I kept thinking about the next day, and I didn't come up with any good solution. The beggar had no choice but to send a large number of snake men to cut down trees and prepare to build ships.

The Izumo rebels on the opposite side did not wait for the snake people to build a boat, and they sent a small group of soldiers to cross the river in a boat and attack the snake people who were cutting down trees.

At first, the snake people were caught off guard, and they didn't expect the Izumo rebels to dare to take the initiative to cross the river. These snake people are scattered in the mountains and forests because of the cutting down of trees, but the Izumo rebels are in groups.

As soon as the battle began, the snake soldiers were defeated by the hordes of Izumo rebels, and hundreds of people were easily slaughtered.

The snake men in the distance fled in panic, and at the same time, the snake army in the large camp also heard the news. But by the time the snake people had assembled and were ready to counterattack, the Izumo rebels had already retreated to the river and left by boat.

The snake people had no ships and could not pursue, so they could only shoot arrows and spears at the incoming Izumo rebels to vent their anger.

Qi Lin was in the big tent of the Chinese army, and when he heard the report, his little face turned red with anger, and he couldn't help but scold:

"The despicable people dare to attack me. When I invade Qi City, I will kill your dogs! ”

I shook my head and attacked Qi City? Separated by more than 30 miles of Qishui natural danger, how to attack?

"Leader of the beggars, let's consolidate the defense line on the north bank first."

I looked down at the sand table on the table, the snake people are not beasts, they are also extremely intelligent, and there are naturally craftsmen in this army of 100,000.

The vivid sand table in front of me is newly made by craftsmen, including the north and south banks of the Qianqi crossing.

"The view above the water is wide, and as long as a scout can stare at the surface of the water for miles. The reason for today's situation is that the garrison is too lax. ”

No, not lax, not at all! As a result, the defenders on the opposite side could easily touch the shore as long as they took a detour.

I immediately consulted with the beggars, and set up a large number of scouts along the riverbank. At the same time, when the snake people enter the mountain forest to cut down trees, an army must also be arranged outside the mountain forest to protect them.

In the next two days, the Izumo rebels sent a small force to attack, but they couldn't succeed at all, and the ship was discovered by snake scouts on the water.

The Izumo rebels were unwilling, and even organized two or three hundred soldiers to forcibly land on the shore, but they were all stopped by the snake reinforcements that arrived in time, and after more than ten people were killed and wounded, they had no choice but to flee back to the south shore by boat.

On the fourth day, it was a calm day, and the Izumo rebels did not try to land, but sent small boats to spy on the north shore.

That's right, Qi City is defended according to the big river and occupies a favorable location, how can it give up its advantage and take the initiative to attack the snake army?

At most, the snake riders are unprepared, and they are just sneak attacks. Now that the serpent people have strengthened their garrison, they can't take advantage of it, so they give up.

It seems that the real decisive battle will not start until the snake man crosses the river.

Gazing at the wide river, I frowned. The Izumo rebels are not fools, they will definitely send reinforcements to Qi City, and they will also build and strengthen Qi City's fortifications.

But I'm not worried about winning this fight.

The most difficult thing in the landing war is to "grab the beach and land" -- to seize a position on the other side of the river, so that the follow-up reinforcements, ordnance, and baggage can land smoothly.

I have the two Dou Emperors, Ling Ying and Xiao Yixian, plus the first batch of snake people to cross the river, it is easy to capture a position.

It's just that having said that, it will take a lot of time to break through Qi City, and the situation in the Gama Empire is becoming more and more serious.

……

……

But at this time, I didn't expect that the decisive battle would suddenly start on the fifth day, and it would be started by the Izumo rebels.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

In the early morning, the sky was still bright, but there were war drums on the water!

The oblique moon on the horizon has not yet completely sunk, and the lights are bright on the Qianqi ferry with a gentle current.

Hundreds of ships came from the south bank of Qishui to the north shore of Qishui. Among them were tall building boats, carrying hundreds of people; There are also flexible boats; Like a heavy knight, a ship that is good at assault......

Thousands of miles, the flag covers the sky!
