Eagle-like eyes stared silently at the river beach three hundred paces away, and the cycads curled up in the reeds and did not move. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The riverside was boiling, a cordon had been set up, and a few scout rabbits were falling back and reporting to the guy on the grassy knoll who looked like the leader of the scouts.

At this time, it is still the wet period of Huaishui, although the water is still stable, but the amount of water is not small, ships of different sizes are docking one after another, and the archers standing on the high ground on both wings have already been on standby in advance.

I have to admit that the Caizhou Army is a division of a hundred battles, and what it has achieved over the years is its combat effectiveness, and this whole set of regulations for crossing the river is almost impeccable.

The cycad patiently observed.

What surprised him a little was that the scout leader was obviously still a teenager, at most Chen Shi and Chu Qi's age, no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, and judging from the scouts' respectful attitude towards the leader, he was definitely not the kind of pampered gentleman.

Thinking about it, how could the Caizhou army let the gentlemen come in such a war.

Another big ship landed, probably because it didn't grasp the strength of the landing, and the big ship ran aground heavily, but fortunately on the mudflat, the impact force was not strong, but it caused a burst of exclamations and scolding.

Soon several small boats leaned against the side of the big boat, and then the wooden ladders and planks were lowered along the big boat, and the small boat was set up as a gangplank, and on the bank of the river there were also people who quickly laid the reeds along the slippery mudflats, and on top of the planks were laid on the top of the planks, and an improvised pontoon bridge was erected on the big boat and the bank of the river.

Skillful and experienced, Su Tie silently remembered in his heart that he had a high opinion of the combat effectiveness of the Caizhou Army.

Details determine success or failure, this is what the military commander has taught himself, and the overall combat strength of an army can be observed from the details.

In short, we should start from small things, and we should be good at finding clues from the details.

The guards must come out of the scouts, this is the words of the military commander.

According to the explanation of the military commander, his personal guards were either born and scouted, or they had to go to the scout team to experience, so Su Tie was selected into the scout team, and today is his third mission.

The first two times didn't have much gain, but they met with Caizhou scouts far away on the north bank of Huaishui, and they didn't even fight each other, but everyone knew what they were doing.

It seemed that several people had disembarked from the boat and were negotiating with the people on the shore, and an argument broke out, but soon the people on the shore compromised and waved their men to do so.

Soon a few more boats came over, clinging to the pontoon bridge they had just erected, and began to build another pontoon bridge, much to the surprise of Su Tie and his companions.

One pontoon bridge is not enough, a second pontoon bridge is needed, what is this for?

Both were a little nervous.

Because it was obvious that the surrounding guards were tighter, the sentry posts that had been roaming around began to expand the range of vigilance, until they approached the edge of the reeds.

There were even two guys who went straight into the reeds and chopped through the grass with swords, as if to intimidate potential enemies in this way.

Cycad pursed his lips contemptuously.

The companion next to him is also an old scout, not very old, but the time of being a scout is not short, and it can even be traced back to the era of Cao Wanchuan's Gushijun.

Both of them were very quiet and prostrate in the mud and did not move, not knowing whether the other party had a martial arts master, both of them held their breath, subconsciously avoiding the diffusion of any qi induction.

A hound was led to the edge of the reeds, probably helpless by this semi-swampy environment, so he could only listen to the hound bark a few times into the depths of the reeds, and then explain to the other person, and then left.

The two breathed a sigh of relief, and it could be seen that Cai Zhoujun attached great importance to this big ship and strengthened their vigilance.

Cycad set his sights on the wooden ladder that had been laid down, and he was sure that he would soon see the results.

As he expected, soon there was a seeping friction sound on the deck of the big ship, followed by the creaking sound of the wheels crushing on the board, and a behemoth wrapped in a cloth curtain appeared in the bow of the ship, fixed with more than ten large ropes around it, and dozens of people used these more than ten large ropes to pull and stabilize the big guy to get off the ship.

Cycad's eyes fell on the wheel of this big guy, which was extremely large, and the iron wheels were used, and the spokes were all iron bars, which meant that this thing was large in size and even more weight than imagined.

It wasn't until he got off the boat that the four-headed horse began to pull the big guy, and there were dozens of people around him to assist in the traction, that this behemoth could be regarded as entering the Caizhou army and began to move slowly.

Cui Shang rubbed his temples, picked up the strong tea on the table and took a sip.

It is said that this way of doubling the tea helps to eliminate fatigue and cheer up the spirit, but it is not advisable to use this method for a long time, otherwise it will hurt the body, and it seems that the effect is really there.

The Caizhou soldiers have crossed the Huaishui and are marching towards Gushi.

The opinion on whether to use cavalry to attack and harass the Caizhou army also caused controversy in the army.

Ju Shen believed that the Caizhou army was strong, and the use of cavalry was not effective, not to mention, it was very easy to be attacked by the enemy's masters, causing losses.

Qin Zaidao believes that a cavalry army is never raised, nor trained, but fought, if the enemy army does not dare to attack, but always expects to attack again in an advantageous situation, then this cavalry is an embroidered pillow, which is useless.

Qin Zaidao's opinion was supported by Jiang Feng, so the cavalry army has been attacking with the whole army since yesterday, with the capital as the combat department, and began to attack and harass the main force Caizhou army coming from Ruyang, on the one hand, it can slow down its marching speed, on the other hand, it can also play a role in exhausting the troops, and at the same time, it can also train and polish this cavalry army that has just been combined.

The intelligence of all parties is gathered here, Cui Shang needs to screen and evaluate it, and then combine it to study and judge, this way is also Jiang Feng's suggestion to Cui Shang, which not only makes Cui Shang a little uncomfortable, but also makes Cui Shang a little excited, which means that Jiang Feng will let him take the position of the future record to join the army, provided that Jiang Feng's Huzhou concept can become a reality.

Jiang Feng arranged two young students as assistants, both of whom were children of the gentry who fled from Gwangju to Gushi, and both studied in Chongwen Academy for many years, but they knew nothing else, which was equivalent to being a student of Cui Shang.

Now the main task assigned to the two by Cui Shang is to learn to read information and understand the surrounding political situation, and they can't do anything else for the time being.

In fact, Cui Shang himself was still in a stage of learning and exploration, and he was exhausted by Jiang Feng's endless new ideas and ideas in dealing with the war, and this situation was not slightly alleviated until the Caizhou army crossed the Huaishui River Feng's main energy was focused on the final completion of the city defense system, which also made Cui Shang breathe a sigh of relief.

Chang Kun's vision of looking at people is indeed extraordinary, and the various talents shown by the commander of the Gushi Army are really not explained by other reasons except to describe them as geniuses.

The footsteps woke Cui Shang up from his distraction, and when he saw Jiang Feng, who was covered in dust, come back, he poured a large cup of tea into his stomach, Cui Shang could only smile bitterly and shake his head, is this the case with tea tasting?

The behavior of this military commander is always puzzling, sometimes his words are like a wise man, sometimes his speech is more like a literati, and sometimes his behavior is more like those ruffians, such a mixed complex Cui Shangzhen does not know how to describe it.

There is no suspicion in employing people, no suspicion is needed, since Cui Shang dares to come to Gushi, it means that he has staked the treasure on himself, and Jiang Feng naturally does not hesitate to give the other party enough trust.

Joining the army, that is, the position of joining the army in the future, Jiang Feng is ready to use it to reward this Boling Cui son who dares to bet at the first time, of course, this guy's talent is also worthy of it.

"What's new?" As soon as he sat down in the chair, Jiang Feng took off his helmet and rested it on the desk.

"Well, the news just came back, the day before yesterday I found that the number of big guys who got off the ship covered with a cloth curtain was basically determined, it should be six, if it is not my expectation, I estimate that it should be the special city breaker of the Caizhou Army, because the scouts found that the subsequent carts specially transported a number of large iron hammer-shaped objects, following these carts. ”

Cui Shang analyzed while flipping through the information.

"City Breaker?" Jiang Feng was a little puzzled, "Spell Equipment?"

"The theory can only be a magic instrument, and it is impossible for an ordinary city-breaking hammer to be so big, because it cannot be operated, except for borrowing the power of magic, it is impossible to imagine how to use such a large hammer head, according to the scout's estimate, the hammer-shaped object hammer head is at least three feet high, and the diameter is also about one foot five, and the net weight is expected to be at least more than a thousand catties, and may even reach two thousand catties, unless the power of magic, who can drive?"

Cui Shang's tone was also a little nervous, "It is said that the Caizhou army has made great progress in the use of magic in recent years, three years ago in the first battle of Chenzhou, the Caizhou army used a variety of magic equipment, causing great damage to Wanqiu City, this time it seems that the Caizhou army is going to give us Gushi City a dismount." ”

"It's not clear who will give whom. Jiang Feng snorted lightly, but there was no relaxed look on his face, "If you want to talk about the use of spells, the city defenders will always take the lead, Bai Ling, there is no need to be too nervous, the soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, just the magic equipment, I am not worried, what I am worried about is who the commander of the Caizhou Army is, it is absolutely impossible to be the small characters such as Yuan Wenbai and Yuan Wenhuai who have been discovered, and the Yuan family has not been arrogant to this extent."
