Chapter 214 Crossing the River Secretly

When Lin Haotian heard this, his eyes lit up, this is a rare place!

He stroked his palms and smiled, lowered his head, looked at the sketch for a while, and said in a loud voice: "Gather all the generals and come to the military tent to discuss matters!"

"Yes!"

Lin Haotian gave an order, and all the generals of the Jin army rushed to the Chinese military tent, and after everyone arrived, Lin Haotian signaled to Ling Wuya, who took out a sketch and told everyone in detail.

After listening to Ling Wuya's introduction, people were also surprised and delighted, with such a convenient location to cross the river, it would not be feasible for their own side to cross the water.

"Soldiers, generals, when should our army attack?" Lin Haotian looked around at everyone with a smile.

"My lord!" At this time, Bi Wen bowed to Lin Haotian and said, "The stakes are very high, but the last general feels that this matter should be more cautious." ”

After listening to the text, Ling Wuya frowned, his face was displeased, and he asked with a sneer, "Mr. Bi, do you think we made a mistake in the investigation?"

Bi Wen smiled and said: "No, no, no, I have no intention of doing so, but as far as I know, Sima Changren is extremely good at commanding troops and has excellent strategies, there is such a big loophole west of the Wang River, he should not ignore it, and I wonder if this will be a deliberate plan set up by Sima Changren, deliberately sending a loophole to us, so as to lure our army to the bait?"

"Joke!" Ling Wuya sneered and said, "I have already said just now, the defense line of the Wood Army is ten miles from the north and south, and this place is twenty miles away from the Wood Camp, and the defense line of the Wood Army does not extend to this place, and it is normal that Sima Changren did not find out. ”

When Bi Wen heard this, it was not good to say anything more, and Lin Haotian was already bound to cross the river, so it was useless to say more, so he had to shake his head helplessly.

Seeing this, Lin Haotian smiled. Signaling that Bi Wen didn't have to worry too much, then, he took a deep breath, stood up, looked around at everyone, and said, "Everyone go back and get ready." As long as there are no ambushes on the other side, our army will secretly cross the Wang River tomorrow night!"

"Yes, my lord!" the generals intervened and turned away.

There was nothing to say all night, and at noon the next day, under the instruction of Lin Haotian, the Jin army put out all the small boats collected and moored them on the shore. In secret, the Jin army had secretly transported the rafts they had built to a place twenty miles south of the camp, and the army had quietly assembled there.

Just as Ling Wuya explored, the river here is not wide, the water flow is also gentle, and when he looks at the opposite bank, it is a large village forest with green and dense turns, and he can't see the edge at a glance.

Lin Haotian came to check it out in person. He crouched in the grass, squinting his eyes at the other side. I am also silently making judgments in my heart.

The width of the Wang River is generally between two and three miles, and the width of the river here is only about one and a half miles at best, and the current is not turbulent, without the enemy's obstruction, Lin Haotian estimated that it would take at most twenty minutes for the raft to reach the opposite bank.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and said, "Ding Feng!"

Ding Feng leaned in front of Lin Haotian. Whispered, "Yes!"

Lin Haotian asked, "How many rafts are there in our army?" ”

Ding Feng did the math slightly and said, "It should be no less than fifty!"

Lin Haotian nodded, 5,000 rafts, it is not a problem to transport 30,000 soldiers in the past, and his own army is more than 100,000. In four or five hours, all of them can cross the Wang River.

He squinted his eyes, looked at the dense forest on the other side, and asked the generals on the left and right, "What do you think of this place?"

Ding Feng replied first: "This place can be called an excellent location for secretly crossing the Wang River."

Bi Wu and Gu Liangyun also nodded yes, now the two of them also see the hope of their own victory, if they can really cross the Wang River unnoticed, then they will definitely be able to catch the wooden army by surprise, Sima Changren is seriously injured, and the 100,000 wooden army is not to be afraid at all.

It can be seen that the fighting spirit of Ding Feng, Bi Wu, and Gu Liangyun has been mentioned, Lin Haotian is happy in his heart, and the three of them have begun to have confidence in this battle, so it undoubtedly proves that this battle is indeed feasible.

Lin Haotian looked around and saw Ling Wuya, beckoned to him, and asked, "Wuya, have the brothers sent to the other side come back?"

Ling Wuya shook his head and said, "For the sake of secrecy, I don't have many people to send out, and it will take some time to investigate such a large secret forest, and it is estimated that it will be almost the same by the afternoon or evening." ”

"En!" Lin Haotian rolled his eyes and said to Ding Feng, Bi Wu, and Ling Wuya: "Mobilize all the soldiers of the army, as long as we confirm that there are no ambushes on the other side, our army will cross the river immediately." ”

"Yes, sir!"

Even if Lin Haotian didn't say it, the main force of the Jin army was also quietly gathering here, and the Jin army who rushed over gathered more and more, but fortunately, the shore was full of weeds more than half a person high, and the soldiers of the Jin army squatted in the grass, looking coldly, and they couldn't see anything.

Time passed bit by bit, but the other side was always calm, and there was not even a figure in sight, let alone a trace of the Jin Army spies.

Lin Haotian was relaxed on the surface, but his heart began to become anxious. He knows very well that if things are delayed, the truth will change later, if it is delayed like this, who knows when a wooden army will come over and see through his own actions, if he misses this opportunity now, it will be even more difficult to find such an excellent offensive position.

He never felt that time had been so long, gradually, the sun in the sky turned into a sunset, hundreds of thousands of golden troops, on the shore has been waiting for more than three hours, at this time it is almost evening, several times Lin Haotian did not wait for his own spies, directly ordered to attack, but his reason immediately suppressed the impulse in his heart, and at the same time repeatedly reminded himself not to take the lives of more than 100,000 soldiers as a child's play.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and while people were waiting patiently and anxiously, there was a sudden sound of rushing water on the shore, and then a man in black who was wet came out of the river.

"Someone!" Lin Haotian, who was on the edge of the river, had extremely sharp ears and immediately heard that someone had come ashore.

Ling Wuya's spirits were lifted, and he said urgently: "My lord, I'll go!"

"Well, if the brother we sent out to inquire comes back, bring him to my side immediately!"

"Yes, my lord!" Ling Wuya bent his waist, burrowed through the weeds, and walked towards the river.

After a short time, Ling Wuya returned, and behind him, there was a young man in black.

Ling Wuya's excitement was overflowing, and he whispered to Lin Haotian: "My lord, it's the brother sent out by the last general to investigate!"

Lin Haotian's eyes lit up suddenly, and he raised his eyes to look at the black-clothed young man behind Ling Wuya.

This young man is in his early twenties, not tall, stout, the muscles on his body are bulging, his appearance is mediocre, but his small eyes are bright, and he is very energetic. ,

He asked Ling Wuya, "Is he our man?"

"That's right! His name is Wang Liang, and he is the spy that the last general has just sent out. ”

Lin Haotian smiled after hearing this, raised his eyes to look at Wang Liang, and asked, "Wang Liang, have you gone to the other side to find out clearly? Are there any ambushes in the forest?"

"No!" Wang Liang's head shook like a rattle, and he said in an extremely affirmative tone: "My brothers and I have carefully inspected that piece of forest, not to mention the ambush soldiers, not even the secret sentry of the wooden army. ”

"Are you sure?" Lin Haotian's eyes were like torches, and he looked directly at Wang Liang.

Wang Liang showed a blank look, nodded blankly and replied: "Of course, my lord, this is what people have seen with their own eyes!"

"En!" After Lin Haotian heard this, he no longer hesitated, and waved his hand to Wang Liang: "Little brother has worked hard, you go down to rest."

can be called a brother by the commander, Wang Liang was flattered, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said: "The villain retires!"

After Wang Liang left, Lin Haotian clenched his fists, waved his hand to call the generals, and ordered: "I have just received the news that there are no ambushes in the forest on the other side, and there is no secret post, and our army will cross the river immediately." ”

"Yes, the king, the last general will give an order!" Ding Feng and the others had been waiting for Tang Yin's order for a long time, and as soon as his words fell, everyone responded one after another.

People were about to leave, when they suddenly remembered something and asked Lin Haotian: "My lord, which army crossed the river first?"

Lin Haotian thought for a moment and said to Gu Liangyun: "General Gu, the Fourth Army will cross the Wang River first, and you have few people, so you can bring more weights and grain and grass over."

Gu Liangyun's face was straight, and he intervened and said, "The last general will obey the order!"

With Lin Haotian's order, the Fourth Army led by Gu Liangyun crossed the river first. (To be continued......)
