In the early morning, by the Xiao River, the horses kicked up patches of hoarfrost, like silver butterflies dancing.

Ji Jing, with his scorched hair and beard and ashes on his body, finally found a place for the dreadnought army to cross the river, looking at the two long rope bridges, but he didn't dare to step on it, but stopped.

On the opposite side of the bridge, a handsome general riding a white horse was standing at the head of the bridge with a halberd, staring coldly at the swarming Nanjun military horses.

Looking at each other, Ji Jing suddenly felt a trace of jealousy towards Wu Gen inexplicably. A fierce general like Shui Congyue was actually driven by a small gangster like Wu Gan, as well as those people from the Lu family and other families of the ancient family, who were originally defeated and forced to live in the dreadnought army, but according to the current situation, they have long since faded the color of the original family and become a real member of the dreadnought army.

Because of these soldiers who are clustered behind Shui Congyue, they can faintly see the shadows of the Qiulin family, the Gu family and other families, but at this time, they are closely around Shui Congyue's side, and the spirit from the inside and outside makes Xiaoxiao autumn wind avoid.

The halberd rises, cutting off the autumn wind and also cutting off the bridge.

The energy fell on the bridge, and the two reed bridges supported by ice floe broke into several sections, and were pushed downstream by the river, leaving only some ropes on Ji Jing's side to pull the ice floe, constantly lapping the river bank with the current.

Shui Congyue glanced at Ji Jing, who was standing on the shore, turned the horse's head, and ran upstream along the coast, and the five thousand men and horses behind him also followed closely.

Watching the other party leave, Ji Jing looked at the untidy subordinates behind him, and couldn't help but raise his head and sigh.

Yesterday, he rashly broke into the dreadnought military camp and caused an inexplicable fire. Later, I found that near the pillar where Ji Jing died, in addition to the reeds, there were also a large number of fire oil and flint stones in the tents around him.

Under the reckless behavior of the pro-soldier who wanted to behave in front of his own family, nearly 5,000 people died in this inexplicable fire.

Coupled with the Wen family that had been completely defeated, and the two unlucky families who went to support, overnight, more than 30,000 people were gone, how could Ji Jing be disappointed.

He knew that the dreadnought army was not easy to fight, so he thought of building a strong village and dragging the other party to death by numbers. Unexpectedly, Wu Gen didn't want to fight with his own knife-to-gun, but instead ran to the other side of the river, opposite him across the river.

Moreover, the opponent's strange means of crossing the river, coupled with the fact that the Righteous Eagle Army is not limited by the terrain, also means that the opponent can strike at him at any time, but it is difficult for him to fight back quickly.

Ji Jing didn't dare to stay too long, and he didn't even dare to go hand in hand with the white-robed general on the other side, because Wu Gen was still clearing out the poor people of the Wen family. In the past, when they fought side by side, they couldn't feel the difficulty of the other party, but now that the two are in different camps, Ji Jing is always a little uncertain, and he doesn't know what secret tricks Wu Gen will make next.

Urging the horse passed through the destroyed camp of the Dreadnoughts and returned to his main camp.

In the camp, many soldiers were standing not far from the river, looking out at the misty river from afar.

Ji Jing's heart moved, urging the horse to rush towards Ji Zhen, and he was also stopping to watch. Seeing Ji Jing returning, Ji Zhen just glanced at it, and then looked up into the distance again.

Patches of ash fluttered down from the air, spreading a thick layer on the ground.

It was the remains of the burned reeds, and now as far as the eye could see on the other side, it was all black, like a leprosy on the head of a beautiful girl.

In that gray mist, on the still flowing Xiao River, corpses loomed in the water, these were all soldiers who had been burned, shot, and drowned last night.

Soldiers were busy on the shore, using hooks to retrieve the corpses. Although they come from different families, they are all robes, at least they can't let the fish and shrimp eat their flesh.

A corpse was pulled up, and the armor was long gone, presumably taken off by itself to prevent it from sinking into the water.

Scratching the hook and grasping the corpse, the surface of the body took on an indescribable dark red. With each movement, pieces of flesh fell from the corpse.

Last night the fire was so great that the water near the north shore was boiling. The soldiers who hid in the water were scalded to death.

Vomit, someone vomited. Some people started to start, as if they were contagious, and more and more people fell to the ground and vomited.

Ji Jing swallowed his throat and looked at Ji Zhen, who was still looking up at the sky, "Don't be discouraged, we will have reinforcements arriving in the next few days, no matter how powerful the Dreadnought Army is, after all, there are fewer people."

"The fog is getting bigger." Ji Zhen did not respond to the other party, but said something inexplicable.

"Fog?" Ji Jing turned his head to look around, and sure enough, the fog that would dissipate after dawn was getting thicker and heavier at this time, and the heavy fog pressed towards this side like a wall, and soon the camp became dim and indistinguishable, and no one could be seen a few steps away.

The human voice came through the fog, and it sounded distorted, as if the entire camp had fallen into the water.

"What do you say Wu Gen is doing?" Ji Zhen looked at Ji Jing and asked with a smile.

Ji Jing's face suddenly changed greatly, today's fog is a little weird, so that he can't see the opponent's movements at all, and Wu Gan's temperament is not a monster. Since the other party can freeze the river, it is not difficult to get some fog out.

So what does Wu Gen want to do, Ji Jing thought hard. The other party ran to the opposite bank, obviously not wanting to confront him head-on, so how can he isolate the two armies, suddenly Ji Jing raised his head violently, "It's not good, Wu Yan is going to attack our ship."

In order to prevent the dreadnoughts from crossing the river, Ji Jingfang arrived here and asked all the boats to be collected, except for a few tied to the shore next to the camp, most of them were left in a river bay about seventy miles upstream.

As long as the dreadnoughts burn these ships, their own men and horses can only watch each other on the other side. If it was in the past, Ji Jing would definitely not be in a hurry to fight Wu Gan, and everyone would have consumed it. The dreadnought army has no backup, and it will collapse when the food and grass do not follow. But now Xian Yu's attack is very urgent, Yuan Xin has sent several urgent letters asking for reinforcements, and the southern army and the men and horses of these families must not spend too much time here.

Then, the ship has become the focus of the opponent's attack at this time, and Wu Gan must not be allowed to destroy the ship.

"Soldiers." Ignoring the fatigue of the night, Ji Jing grabbed one of his own soldiers and shouted, "Hurry to the place where the ship is hidden."

"Calm, the fog is too big, I'm afraid it will be difficult for people and horses to move forward." The soldier looked embarrassed and whispered a suggestion.

"Go quickly, even if you go, you have to go to the river." Ji Jing was furious and yelled at his own soldiers.

The soldiers saw that their own pacification was already on fire, and they ran to the camp. Soon, a hurried gong sounded, which was the military order for the assembly.

"I'll go with you." Ji Zhen suddenly spoke, and turned around with his hands, "I fought with the Dreadnought, and it was really fierce. Moreover, it is so foggy, in case of a sneak attack by the other party, the southern army may not be able to hold on.

Those families are unreliable, their military morale is unstable, and the Wen family was defeated again last night, I'm afraid they won't make much effort in the big war."

"We're both leading people to attack, isn't there a bit of space here?" Ji Jing was a little worried about the safety of the camp.

"Hehe, such a solid camp, almost like a small city, this is the first time I have seen it in my life. The dreadnought army is still able to fight in the field, but the attack is really filled with human lives, Wu Gen has few people, he will not do such a stupid thing. Besides, after we leave, there are still nearly 40,000 people left in these families, how can they not hold on." Ji Zhen didn't take Ji Jing's worries seriously.

"It's okay, there are still 20,000 reinforcements here today, and 60,000 people can't hold it by relying on the fortified village, so don't fight, let's just withdraw directly." Ji Jing shook his head, last night's defeat still affected him, so that he shrunk from anything.

Soon, 80,000 people left the camp, and because of the thick fog, they did not walk very fast.

Riding on the horse, Ji Jing was anxious, and Ji Zhen next to him also had a cold face. Now I only hope that the dreadnoughts have not discovered the bend, otherwise, it will take no idea how long it will take to gather so many ships.

After the team ran for thirty miles, the fog gradually thinned, and after traveling for more than ten miles, it was completely gone. Looking back at the rolling fog, Ji Jing secretly hated in his heart, it was indeed Wu Gan's ghost.

Finally, after enduring the fatigue of a night of traveling, Ji Jing arrived at the river bay. The terrain here is gentle, and the surface of the Xiao River suddenly widens a lot, forming next to the river

A semi-circular bay looks like a small lake.

Fortunately, Ji Jing breathed a sigh of relief, the boat in the bay was safe and sound, and there was no trace of the dreadnought army on the opposite side, it seemed that Wu Gan had not found here.

"Let's take a break here, and run like this again, without Wu Gan to fight, our people will fall first." Ji Zhen jumped off the horse and wiped the sweat from his face.

Looking at his tired subordinates behind him, Ji Jing hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded. The dreadnoughts came from a long distance and attacked brazenly, they should be more tired, and there should be no fighting today.

The defenders at the river bend saw that their own townsmen were in a hurry here, and hurriedly came up to meet them, but they were rushed by Ji Jing to cook for the army.

Soon, smoke rose from the bend, and the defenders took out all their belongings for the food and drink of the 80,000 men.

Due to the large number of people who came, the people brought by Ji Jing could only take turns to eat. People who are waiting to eat or waiting after eating have all chosen to lie on the ground and rest. A sleepless night is better for those who have cultivation, but it is difficult for ordinary soldiers to survive.

"You say, where is Wu Gan, and what is he doing?" Ji Zhen had a cooking cake in his left hand, a leg of lamb in his right hand, and a few cloves of pickled garlic in front of him.

Ji Jing finished nibbling on a piece of bread, wiped the crumbs between his whiskers with his hand, and looked at the babbling river in silence. After a long time, Fang sighed, "It's not upstream, then it's downstream, it's my misjudgment." He may run downstream, hiding in the shadows, ready to tear off another piece of our flesh. It's like a wolf, watching us lose a little bit of blood and weaken, and then bite our throats hard."

"Then what are you going to do, across the river?" Ji Zhen threw away the bones in his hand and drank a bowl of steaming oil tea, and his body suddenly warmed up.

"No, I'm going to cross the river." Ji Jing didn't care about his own image, he lay down directly on the grass backwards, his head resting on the back of his head, and suddenly he turned his head, "Brother, help me this time, cross the river with me." The people of those families are unreliable, and if they want to take down Wu Gan, they can only rely on the Southern Army and the Wei Army." Look at the book

Ji Zhen glanced at him, lowered his head and fiddled with a clump of withered grass at his feet, and after a long time, he looked at the distance and said, "We were brought out by the lord, no matter what the outcome is, don't harm his life."

"I know, you and I will definitely not have this idea, as for the young master, we will persuade it when the time comes, and it will be a little ominous for the son to kill the father." Ji Jing naturally agreed to the other party's request, although he was suspicious of Ji Zhen's attitude, but at this time, he had to hold him to his side in order to confront the dreadnought.

"After a day's rest, we will cross the river from here and go to meet Wu Gen for a while. Let's see if we win or lose this battle sooner." Ji Jing found a felt hat to cover his face, and after a while, he snored loudly.
