If you can stand in the sky and look down, you can see two black and oppressive streams of people, from north to south and from east to west, rolling towards the goal of Song City.

Shang Yunxi's cavalry of the two armies had already patrolled the Gubian River.

The soldiers and horses from the northern navy had already built a pontoon bridge over the Bianhe River so that the Heshuo army could cross the river smoothly.

The main force of the Northern Naval Army was formed on the basis of the Juyeze water bandits of the Chao and Ruan families, and although the scale was not large, there were only two armies, which had to control the waterways north of Huaishui, including Jishui (including Juyeze), Bianhe (including Mengzhuze), Surabaya, and the canal.

Because the water conditions in the north are completely different from those in the south, and unlike the southern waterways, most of the navies of the three armies are mainly small boats and boats, and they are scattered on various waterways, mainly to control traffic chokepoints and important lakes and marshes, such as Juyeze and Mengzhuze, and Jishui and Bianhe.

The Third Army of the Northern Naval Army is also being formed, mainly to control the river, this waterway is currently across the Xuzhou and Heshuo areas of the moat, in order to ensure the control of the river in the future and the next step of the Pinglu Army to cross the river, the Third Army just pulled up the shelf, it will take on the important task of the Pinglu Army's northern expedition to cross the river.

The sound of the trumpet of "hey, hey, hey" made the Bianhe River lively, and the sailors guarded at both ends of the pontoon bridge, watching with some curiosity as the heavy carriages and pack horses of the brigade began to cross the river.

"Master, what is this, so heavy?" asked the soldier, who was shirtless and wearing only a chest guard grass and wood armor.

The red sun is like fire, the sun makes the ground hot, and the heat rises on both sides of the water, which makes people extremely uncomfortable, but both the sailors and the vanguard cavalry of the Heshuo army are still carefully guarding the pontoon bridge to prevent the enemy's sneak attack.

Shang Yunxi even sent the cavalry of both armies across Bianshui to patrol along the south bank of Bianshui to avoid a sneak attack, and the first army of the Heshuo Army's infantry army was also preparing to cross the river on another pontoon bridge.

"Don't ask so much, it's all magic equipment, who knows what it is?" An officer of the Navy Army stood on the sentry tower and glanced around, and replied casually: "It must be used to fight Songcheng, I heard that the Caizhou Army in the south is frantically reinforcing the Songcheng city defense facilities, and has also dug a lot of trenches to block the approach of our Xuzhou army, it seems that he is afraid of these things." ”

The sailors received the order three days ago, and in order to avoid exposure, they had been silent before they came, just cruising in this line of waters, together with Wuwentang, to observe whether the Caizhou army had any changes.

It was not until the first day of receiving the order that the navy moved quickly, and it took only eight hours to erect two pontoon bridges, and several sentry towers were erected near the bridgehead on the south bank of Bianshui, and some small trebuchets and ballistae were also laid next to the sentry towers, as long as it was not a large-scale army attack, it was completely enough to resist a general attack.

"Master, after this battle, I'm afraid that the king of the county is going to enter the Central Plains, right?"

The propaganda offensive within the Xuzhou Army has also come out a long time ago, since it is necessary to fight a battle with the Caizhou Army in an open and honest manner, then the propaganda in the early stage must be in place, so that the soldiers of all armies must understand why they want to fight this battle, and what will they get if they win this battle?

Winning this battle, the king of the county will control the Central Plains of the five states of Song, Chen, Ying, Bo, and Cai, especially the two states of Yingbo.

At that time, most of Jiang Feng's main forces of the Huaiyou Army were recruited from Yingbo Erzhou to escape the displaced people, a few years have passed, most of them have become the main force in the army, although most of them have settled in Guanghushou Sanzhou, but the feelings for their homeland can not disappear so quickly, now there is such an opportunity to fight back to their hometown, become the hero of the recapture of their hometown, naturally can arouse their great enthusiasm.

"Well, at least half of the Central Plains will be the king of the county, and the remaining one is still in the hands of the Shatuo people, so we will work with the king of the county to drive the Shatuo people back to the outside of the Saiwai, and then everyone can go home with peace of mind to marry their daughter-in-law and farm to live. The eyes of the petty officer were also full of longing.

Fighting with the king of the county is to have hope, and if you are lucky enough to get Xuntian, even if you don't have that kind of good thing, as long as you rely on the accumulation of military merits, you can also have a saving in the future, even if you are killed or disabled, the promise of the county king is fulfilled, and the family can get a care.

What else do you want? This life will be sold to the king of the county.

It is only a hundred miles away from Song City, it can be said that as long as you cross the Bianshui, then there is a smooth road ahead, Shang Yunxi does not think that the Caizhou army will give up such a surprise opportunity, although they are given this opportunity, they will not be able to succeed, but after all, this is an opportunity.

The two pontoons were adjacent, only a mile above and below, and several heavy wagons and pack horses began to be erected between the two pontoons as soon as they crossed the river, and in less than two hours several dragon cannons, heavy ballistae, and catapult positions were formed and quickly put into place.

This is the great convenience brought by the production of standardized parts, whether it is a catapult or a heavy ballista or a fire dragon cannon parts, are broken down into dozens of accessories made according to a certain standard, as long as they are familiar, they can be disassembled in a short time, and they can also be matched in a very short time, and if there is a certain part of the damage and loss, they can also be quickly diagnosed and replaced.

This method has become more and more a model, the magic equipment of the Xuzhou army is operated according to this model, its efficiency has been greatly improved, and on the battlefield, even if it takes a little longer, it can inflict a greater blow on the enemy and win more opportunities for itself.

On the other pontoon bridge, the speed of the infantry crossing the river was also very fast, and the men and horses of the capital quickly assembled at the bridgehead, and then the two soldiers also crossed the river to form a formation, even if there were cavalry guards around the perimeter, but they still followed their own rules and never relied on others.

Two figures emerged from the dirt, monocular in their hands, carefully observing the situation on the riverbank.

"How?"

"The Xuzhou army came too fast, their navy controlled the entire water, and our navy on Caizhou's side was too weak, there was no way to compete with their navy, it didn't seem to work. ”

The man who had been turning the monocular shook off the dirt from his body, and the khaki tight-fitting robe looked almost integrated with the dirt.

"Their cavalry has a large range, and the cavalry on our side dare not get too close, and once they are entangled, I am afraid it will be difficult to get out. ”

"Then what do we mean here? Relying on that little magic arrangement alone won't do much, at most it will create some chaos for them, and it will be worthless if they don't cooperate with the attack. The other said anxiously.

"The troops are insufficient, what can I do?" The man holding the monocular was still observing, and he was still a little unwilling, "The head of the family is now sitting in the city, and the cavalry has been transferred, and if he says so, the cavalry can be sacrificed, but it must be sacrificed to be valuable, but look at the current situation, can you achieve the goal of being valuable? ”

"What do you mean ......?" the companion was a little confused.

"Either give up, or use the dragon's tail to fight to the death. The man replied coldly.

The companion shuddered, and subconsciously said: "What can this team of dragon finch tails do? ”

"You have to go to death, use magic traps to create chaos, bypass their defensive positions, attack the pontoon bridge of the carriage, and burn the pontoon bridge with fire spells, the Xuzhou army is known for its strong spell equipment, and burning these spell instruments on them can also contribute to the defense of Song City. There was already a little more determination in the man's tone, and it was obvious that he had made up his mind.

"When will it be launched?" The companion seemed to be moved, thinking about the comparison between the strength of the Song City garrison and the strength of the Xuzhou army that was advancing continuously, and then thinking about the fierce magic equipment of the Xuzhou army, this sacrifice should be worth it, but I don't know if it can achieve the expected goal.

"Wait another two quarters of an hour, wait for the Xuzhou army to come over with some more carriages, and you will go and inform them now. The man's face was grim, "We can't delay it for too long, I'm worried that the magicians of the Xuzhou Army will follow, these ambushes of ours may not be able to hide from their magicians, and it will not be easy to find this opportunity." ”

"Okay, I'll go tell them to get ready. The companion took a deep breath.

"Tell them to take everything with them, use them all at once, we only have one chance. The man raised his head slightly, "The head of the family will arrange their families." ”

"Understood. The companion nodded a little gloomily, then clenched his fists, inhaled, and sneaked in, obviously a master of earth-based spells.

There were more and more carriages coming over the riverbank, divided into queues, and the Xuzhou army was also very cautious, arranging the convoys behind the catapults and heavy ballista positions, and the navy army was also careful to protect these carriages.

The infantry crossing the river had quickly reached a corps and began to set up along the line of the riverbank, forming a line of defense against the enemy's sneak attack.

It seems that everything is quite normal, but after all, Bianshui is in the territory of Songzhou, even if the northern Xuzhou naval army has not controlled it for a long time, it still does not dare to take it lightly.

The man clinged silently under the mound, not moving.

The steps of the Xuzhou army are very standardized, and there are no mistakes, but they would never have imagined that the fierce dragon bird tail can be afraid of everything.

Silently calculating the time, the man seemed to fall into a state of meditation, everything in the family, his parents, wife and children, seemed to come to mind, and maybe the next moment this would be gone from him.

As the time approached, he had already received a signal from his companion and was ready to stop, just waiting to attack.

Maybe all this is meaningless, but for the sake of the family, he must be.

Leaping up, the man held dozens of talismans in his hand and threw them out, and a series of dirt fluctuations rose up on the riverbank.
