Chapter 738 The right army marches

The news that the left army was making a big noise but remained unmoved reached the right army's commander Tong Yu, the commander of Zheng Right Army, and the deputy commander Shang Liang, had to summon generals to focus on this issue.

At this time, the 31,000 right-wing army troops were stationed in Wanxian Village, Nanshuixian Township, and collected thousands of fishing boats to attack Loufang's troops. However, the left-wing army did not move, and the coordination effect of the two armies was lost.

"What the hell is Princess Shang Ran?" Tong Yu looked at the report sent by the spy in the military, "Shang Liang, what do you mean?"

Shang Liang did not know any military affairs. The reason why he became the deputy commander of the Right Route Army was that his father, King Nan, forced him into it for the sake of the battle.

At this moment, Luqiu Zhiping stepped in and "the deputy commander of the commander."

"Mr. Luqiu, it's great that you are here." Tong Yu seemed to have caught a life-saving straw, "It was the Second Highness who sent you here, right?"

"That's right." Luqiu Zhiping said, "The Second Highness, as the right army's supervisor, sent me to help the two southern expeditions. In fact, I have been in Nanshui for a long time, and the detailed works under my command also roughly grasped the situation of the curtain."

"That's great." Tong Yu said, "I wonder what sir thinks about the left-road army's stalemate?"

"It's not that you keep your troops in motion." Luqiu Zhiping's face was solemn, "but that you are moving in secret. Jinyuan has sent spies to cause trouble within the Baiyue tribe, creating rumors, and cracking down on the reputation of his patriarch Lu Dahui in the name of the warning of the wild god. The barbarians are ignorant and deeply panic. Now the Baiyue tribe's inner heart is panicked and there is already sign of self-defeat."

"What!" Tong Yu was shocked. If the Left Route Army really achieved such results in a short period of time, then wouldn't he, who has made no progress so far, seem incompetent in comparison?

Luqiu Zhiping looked at his expression and another thing: "Ask the matter to the commander, Lord Yan Kun, who successfully broke through a few days ago, has been promoted to the Immortal Sect level."

"Really? That's great!" Tong Yu turned from surprise to joy. Yan Kun was from his own camp. He became the Immortal Sect and the strongest man in the kingdom. In the future, no one can bear the second prince's momentum anymore.

"It's not a big joy." Luqiu Zhiping was a little angry, "The old thing that Jian Zun Hong Sheng has also been promoted and is both an Immortal Sect. The two princes are still evenly matched."

"Tong Tong, we must do something." Luqiu Zhiping said, "The incident of the southern expedition seems to be a barbarian war on the surface, but in fact it is the final test of the king for the two princes. That is, after this battle, it is very likely that the crown prince will be sure to win it, and the second prince will definitely win it."

"The subordinates should use their lives to share the worries of the Second Prince." Tong Yu was also shocked, "But the left army did not move. Could it be that we drove thousands of fishing boats directly to the Lou Fang army? What if the other two barbarians come to support? In terms of the total strength, the three barbarians combined will be no less than 100,000, but they will be far stronger than us."

"The Left Army is now making great noise in front of us, and it looks like it is about to attack, but it doesn't attack, which makes the Baiyue tribe very nervous and cannot provide support at all." Luqiu Zhiping pointed and analyzed on the map, "As for the Shangui tribe in the middle, it turns out that the weakest among the three Barbarian tribes, with a population of only 150,000 to 100,000, and the number of barbarian soldiers is only 30,000 to 40,000. Shang Ran picked soft persimmons a few years ago and fought a few battles with him. After these battles, only half of the barbarian soldiers in the Shangui tribe remained. Although some new members were supplemented, they were still not as good as before. Moreover, the leader of the Shangui tribe, Ebira, and their ghost witch, were all people with narrow aura. As long as we had a strong voice, they might not come to support him."

"Okay!" Although Tong Yu was young, she had been a general for many years and was also a quick decision. "Tomorrow morning, the whole army will have dinner at the third update, get on the ship at the fourth update, and attack Lou Fang's troops directly!"

Before dawn the next day, the entire army of the right side got up quietly and prepared for the meal. After the matter was completed, everyone took a piece of cake and boarded a fishing boat. Then, under the guidance of the guide boat, thousands of fishing boats left the port of Wanxiancun and marched southward toward Loufang's troops.

As soon as I left the port, I saw several fishing boats in the port. Due to the war, all the fishing boats that were requisitioned by non-military forces had been banned. The fishermen on both sides were also in danger and refused to come out to catch fish.

"These fishing boats must be spies from the Barbarians!" Luqiu Zhiping said, "Look for a few teams of fast speeds, catch up and catch the people above to ask!"

So four faster ships rushed out immediately in the army.

Seeing this, the fishing boats quickly turned the bow and fled in all directions. The speed was faster than that of the right-wing army's ships, and soon disappeared in Zheng, the port.

"Hateful!" Shang Liang said angrily.

"The people of the Man tribe have been making a living in the near-man marsh for many years, and this is inevitable that they cannot catch up." Luqiu Zhiping said, "Let the soldiers prepare long-range crossbows and stain them with turd cloth. Once they find it, shoot them directly, and there is no need to chase them."

This method was indeed effective. Then, they met some spies and fishing boats from the Manchu army along the way. There were not many vanguard ships, so they directly shot them with arrows that lit tinder oil, burned down three ships, forcing the Barbarian fishermen on the ship to dive into the water and escape.

Because the water is shallow, a barbarian soldier was shot directly by a long arrow after diving, and died in the water on the spot.

At this time, there was light fog hidden in the near barbarian marsh, and the field of view was not good. This was the terrain here, and it would have been foggy for half a year. If it weren't for this, the Northern Jin Kingdom would not have been unable to do anything to the other party and was deeply troubled by its harassed borders.

In addition to the shallow waterway, there are also a large number of reeds blocking the view. These reeds were intentionally planted by the barbarians and were strictly prohibited from cutting them. The clusters were very tall and thick, and were as dense as shrubs.

"These reeds are really annoying. With their cover, how can we see where the barbarian soldiers are hiding?" Shang Liang said, "Come, go and set fire and burn them all!"

Immediately, a soldier lit a large number of torches and threw them into the nearby reeds. The reeds were wet and not many were lit. Even if they were lit, a lot of choking smoke came out, which made the officers and soldiers of the nearby right-wing army cough and burst into tears.

Moreover, under this smoke, the mist in the air seemed to be thicker and the visibility was worse.

"No need to waste your energy." Luqiu Zhiping said, "If this could solve the disadvantages of the near-marinated terrain, the kingdom had already done it over the years."

A soldier and immortal was resentful. He relied on his immortal power to jump into the reeds and cut them with a knife. One piece of reeds after another was cut off.

"It seems that this is the only way." Tong Yu said, "It's a little troublesome, but it's better than not being able to see anything clearly."

Just as they were about to order everyone to chop together, suddenly, the immortal soldier screamed, threw away the knife in his hand, waved his arms randomly, and then his body continued to sink as if it was being carried by some hand.

"Swamp! Don't get off the boat, be careful of the swamp!" Lu Qiu Zhiping shouted.
