Chapter 568: A River Channel

Now, although it was deliberately diverted from the position of the Night Army to the Wing Army, the bravery of the Night Army was still obvious, and this could not be ignored. At this time, only a part of the wing army participated in the battle, twenty or thirty thousand people, all of whom were used to lure the night army deep into the position, and the sacrifice was great.

On the other hand, after the night army has finished killing, many positions appear to be lone in the depths, and those night troops who rush to the front may be surrounded by the wing army at any time. In addition, it has been a while since the two armies clashed, and the remaining beasts have been killed by the Night Army.

Without the interference of fierce beasts, the night army behind can rush forward unscrupulously. However, the night army on this side rushed fast, but the night army on Lin Xuanzhong's side walked slowly. Under the guidance of General Li, Yan Nantian took 30,000 people to walk all the small roads. After overcoming obstacles all the way, I finally walked more than half the way, but now I was stopped by a small river in front of me.

"General Li, what's going on, why is there a river here?" Yan Nantian was a little displeased, turned to look at General Li, who had been holding the map and was in charge of guiding the way, thinking that if the trip was delayed because of a river, the consequences would be unbearable.

"General Yan, the existence of this is not marked on the map, and the spies did not mention it when describing the route, and the last general does not know," General Li naturally knew that there was a river in front of him that had a major stake, and if it was really because of this river, then the first person to blame would be General Li himself.

"General Yan, the matter has come to this, let's hurry up and find a way to get over," Standing by the river, Zhu Zizai guessed the depth of the river according to the width of the river, and then quickly reminded Yan Nantian.

"General Zhu is right, General Yan, why don't we try two people first?" Then another general proposed.

No longer bothering General Li, at the suggestion of two generals in a row, Yan Nantian turned to look at all the night troops behind him, "The people who know how to water stand up." ”

After Yan Nantian shouted, some people came out of those queues one after another, and there were dozens of them.

"Work in pairs, disperse separately, and find a location where you can cross the river as soon as possible," There are quite a few people who see the water, and according to the proposal of the two generals just now, Yan Nantian has improved the method again.

"The general is clever. ”

......

The generals felt that Yan Nantian's instructions were very good, and immediately praised them, which made Yan Nantian very happy.

Then, under the attention of Yan Nantian and the generals, the dozens of people quickly dispersed, walked to the river separately according to the instructions of the commander below, and then went directly down to the river to explore the depth of the water.

It was autumn, and the weather was no longer hot, so the water was cold, and the people went down to the river and carefully groped their way forward one by one.

Originally, Lin Xuanzhong still thought that the river channel a few meters wide would not be very deep, but the fact did not seem to be the case, and those people had not gone far before the river overflowed their knees little by little, and then rose to their waists. By the time we go three meters forward, the water is already at the chest level of ordinary people in some places.

At the same time, those people had already walked to the center of the river, and they thought it was the deepest part of the river, but those people went further, and the water level was even higher, and slowly passed the mouths and noses of some people, and the depth of the water in the river was surprising.

In front of them, those people were completely floating on the water, obviously their feet could not touch the bottom of the river, and they looked back at Yan Nantian's location one after another and waited for instructions.

Yan Nantian's heart was tight, he didn't expect the river to be so deep, now the river is long and can't see the end, but there are so few people who know the water, if it is really blocked by the river, it will really delay the big thing.

"Come back to me and expand the detection range," shouted to the soldiers in the river, Yan Nantian turned around and shouted to the night army: "If there are still people who don't know how to water, let the general come out." ”

After Yan Nantian shouted, hundreds of people walked out of the queue, and then according to Yan Nantian's instructions, two meters and one person, hundreds of people scattered beside the river, tested the depth of the water together, and finally found a place after a quarter of an hour.

After waiting for the results, Yan Nantian accused General Li of doing things badly, and hurriedly brought people over. In the face of Yan Nantian's accusations, General Li did not dare to say a word. Moreover, when the night army was testing the waters, General Li had always been worried, if they really couldn't find a place to cross the river, then they would have to go back along the same road, and the time wasted back and forth was immeasurable, and General Li naturally could not bear this responsibility.

Now that Yan Nantian has clearly made this clear to General Li, General Li naturally has nothing to say. In fact, the river in front of them was extremely narrow, at the foot of the mountain, and both sides of the river were completely covered by vegetation. If you don't get close, it's hard to find the existence of the river, so you can't blame General Li for this matter.

It's just that although the river is not wide, the river is very deep, which is really surprising. In any case, for Yan Nantian, the key now is to cross the river and go up the mountain as soon as possible to continue to rush to the position of the night army camp.

Now the road is opened by the night army in front, Yan Nantian and a group of generals walk in the middle and front position, followed by most of the night army. Time was pressed and he was in a hurry, and Lin Xuanzhong, like many generals, didn't have time to think about whether there would be anything in the river.

"Ah......" It wasn't until someone behind him suddenly screamed that Lin Xuanzhong looked back.

"What's going on?" immediately afterward, a general turned and asked.

"Something in the river hit my leg," the night soldier said with a nervous expression, and another person next to him leaned over, almost planted in the water as if he had been knocked down, but fortunately he was held by the person next to him.

"There's something in the river," the generals no longer doubted what the soldier said, but no one was worried about it.

"It may be a fish, don't waste time to cross the river quickly," Glancing back at the team that had stopped, Yan Nantian suddenly became angry, and immediately yelled at the back.

After Yan Nantian roared, no one worried about anything in the river anymore, and quickly stepped forward one by one. After the people in front of them successfully went ashore, some soldiers in the back who were frightened and worried about the presence of fierce beasts in the river hurriedly quickened their pace, but unfortunately it would take some time for more than 30,000 people to cross the river after all.

Time passed little by little, and after confirming that everyone had crossed the river, Yan Nantian urged the soldiers to go up the mountain again, and they still had a long way to go if they wanted to continue to go around to the rear of the wing army. Having lost contact with the main forces of the Night Army, they had to rush to the vicinity of the camp as soon as possible to check the situation.

Wearing wet clothes to go up the mountain undoubtedly increases the difficulty of climbing the mountain, but fortunately, the army is full of martial arts cultivators, and the physical strength is not comparable to ordinary people. Although some people had some problems due to slipping and falling during the mountain, Yan Nantian still led the army to quickly climb over the mountain.

After waiting for a period of rest on the side of the mountain range, Yan Nantian continued to advance with the army. At the same time, in the night army camp, the two sides were still fighting fiercely, and the sound on the battlefield was constant.

After a period of discussion, Zhao Xu and the others didn't think of any clever strategy, and still planned to follow Fang Quyin's proposal, leaving 30,000 archers on standby.

If there is really an unexpected situation in the middle, and it is serious enough to change the situation on the battlefield, then Zhao Xu may order the withdrawal of the army, and then those archers will be used to cover the withdrawal of the night army. This was a reluctant move, but judging from the results of the discussion, it seemed that the Night Army had only this way.

Putting aside the concerns of Zhao Xu and others, at this moment in the war, the night army has occupied an absolute advantage, and the battle line is constantly advancing to the rear of the wing army. It is worth mentioning that in the past period of time, the wing army was forced to have no choice but to inject a large number of troops into the battlefield. In the way of entrapping from the side, tens of thousands of winged troops joined the battlefield.

In just a quarter of an hour, the entire battlefield has doubled in size compared to the beginning. Not long after the Wing Army increased its strength, Zhang Daring directly asked Zhao Xu for his order, "Marshal, without further ado, my subordinates will lead troops to attack the Wing Army from both flanks and cut off the follow-up support of the Wing Army." ”

"Well," Zhao Xu nodded, the current timing is very suitable for cavalry troops, but there is one point, Zhao Xu still has to say: "General Zhang, in case the enemy army changes the situation in the future, you notice that the situation is not right in the front, you must bring the troops back as soon as possible, don't act recklessly." ”

"The last general commands," agreed, Zhang Daring already understood that Zhao Xu was afraid that he would rush into the trap with the cavalry on impulse, so that the cavalry would suffer losses. Compared with infantry and archers, the importance of cavalry is self-evident, and it is true that there can be no mistakes, so Zhang Daring really wrote down Zhao Xu's orders.

"Driving," not long after, Zhang Daring rode back to the rear of the cavalry camp, because Zhang Yitong has been cut down, now Zhang Daring is the only main general of the cavalry battalion, after coming to the cavalry array, Zhao Xu will attack the wing army from both flanks as soon as possible, in order to cut off the follow-up support of the wing army instructions to the cavalry generals who have been waiting for a long time.

Then the 30,000 cavalry divided into two routes, from the left and right sides around the battlefield to the front of the wing army, in the flat battlefield, the biggest advantage of the cavalry compared with the infantry is that the action is fast, making it difficult for the enemy to react.

When those winged troops first discovered the cavalry of the night army, the cavalry on both sides had already plunged into the chaotic battlefield like two sharp knives, separating the winged troops on the periphery, advancing all the way, unstoppable.

"Marshal, the cavalry of the Night Army has joined the battlefield. "In the rear of the wing army, a general showed Ruan Qiling the situation.

"En," Ruan Qiling nodded, sitting on the chariot, in fact, Ruan Qiling knew the situation on the battlefield better than those generals.

"Marshal, can we carry out the plan now?" After Ruan Qiling's confirmation, a general immediately asked for instructions. Although in the past period of time, the wing army has been pretending to be invincible while luring the enemy deeper, but there are still countless casualties. If the time is a little longer and the wing army sacrifices a little more, then Ruan Qiling's so-called fake war is no different from a normal battle.
