The goshawk is soaring in the sky. Even though it has flown very high, when viewed from the ground, the goshawk is still huge. Below it is a meandering army.
But I saw banners everywhere, swords like a forest, soldiers running like flying, fighting spirit high in the sky.
"Lord, I'm very happy. The battle report came back from Dongjun. General Wenyuan crossed the river at night last night, defeated the enemy's ferry, and defeated Lihu, Xiancheng, and Mocheng!" Huang Zhong rode his horse to Chu Nan's side and brought
A battle report was handed to Chu Nan, who laughed loudly and said: "Our army won the first battle."
"This is the arrogant soldier's plan. It takes three months of forbearance to make the ferry defenders slack off, so it can achieve this miraculous effect. However, this plan cannot be used again. It is difficult to cross other ferries!" Chu Nan read the battle report.
Later he chuckled and said: "But General Wenyuan has made the first contribution. He informed the whole army about the matter and boosted morale."
"Here!" Huang Zhong nodded in agreement and ordered someone to go and deliver the order.
While they were talking, the soldiers of the three armies had already arrived at the river bank. Several Pegasus scouts who had been waiting here came to Chu Nan and saluted Chu Nan: "My lord, according to the news from Hanoi, Yuan Shao has been here three days ago.
The generals Chunyu Qiong and Suiyuan were sent to Hanoi, and all the ferries were heavily guarded. Our troops made several expeditions to cross the river at night to investigate the military situation. We were alert and discovered that many people were killed."
"Go down to the stronghold first and wait for me to take a look." Chu Nan nodded and motioned for the scouts to rest while he dismounted and arranged to set up camp.
Chu Nan is now considered an expert on how to set up camps. The camps he sets up are often extremely strong and can be used as small towns. Even if he is on his own territory at this time, Chu Nan has extremely high requirements for setting up camps, especially
It was near the river bank. Chu Nan paid great attention to the terrain to prevent the three armies from being flooded by the opponent.
After personally arranging the camp, Chu Nan took Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, Yu Jin, Li Tong and Liu Ye to the river bank and looked across the river to the other side.
The water surface here is not the widest part of the Yellow River. It is estimated by visual inspection that it is about three to five miles wide. If an army of 30,000 wants to cross the river, it must have a suitable ferry, otherwise it will be easily attacked by the enemy.
The suitable ferries are basically in the hands of Yuan Shao. It is difficult to find a landing point again, so to cross the river, you must start from these ferries.
On the other side of the river is a large ferry. After crossing the river, you will reach the territory of Huai County. This reminded Chu Nan of Sima Yi and wondered whether he could catch this family after crossing the river.
If you can catch him, you must kill Sima Yi first.
"It would be great if we could build a big bridge to allow the soldiers to pass." Chu Nan stood by the river and watched the rolling Yellow River water rolling eastward. Even if we were sailing across the river, the rolling water would be a big problem.
"If we send troops in winter, even if the river is not frozen, we can still try to freeze it." Yu Jin said with a smile.
It's a pity that Yan Chufa Sui is now severely weakened. Even if Chen Gong comes, it will be difficult to do this. If Zhen Mi and the Qiao sisters join forces, they can do it.
Chu Nan looked at the river and thought about whether to recruit Zhen Mi and the Qiao sisters to help him cross the river.
Liu Ye thought about it, shook his head and said: "It is not difficult to build a bridge, but the other side is controlled by the enemy and cannot be built."
If we can go over and build the foundation, there is no need to use a bridge. But if we can't go over, Liu Ye's ability will not be able to do it. Not only him, but looking at the world, the only people who can do this kind of thing are immortals.
Already.
"唳~"
In the sky, the goshawk was flying in circles, its huge wingspan seemed a bit small at the moment.
Chu Nan stopped paying attention to everyone, closed his eyes, connected with the goshawk's field of vision, and looked down at the layout of the camp on the other side. The layout of the other side's camp was now overlooked from a condescending angle, and he could see everything at a glance.
Although Sui Yuanjin and Chun Yuqiong were generals under Yuan Shao's command, they were translucent in history. In this era of bright generals, they were somewhat invisible.
However, judging from Xingying's arrangement, the two of them are still quite capable. Chu Nan dare not say that for others, but when it comes to setting up camps, looking at the world, there are really not many people who can compare with Chu Nan.
Of course, those who set up camps with Qimen Dunjia cannot be counted, they are cheating.
After watching for a while, Chu Nan understood the layout of the camp at the opposite ferry and withdrew his spiritual thoughts. Chu Nan looked at the generals and said: "Wen Yuan's method can only be used once, and now it has been used by General Wen Yuan.
We can only think of other ways, but I do have a way to overcome it."
"Lord, what's your clever plan?" Everyone looked at Chu Nan.
"I can't speak of a clever plan. I remember that General Han Sheng could command three thousand archers and shoot arrow clusters nearly ten miles away." Chu Nan looked at Huang Zhong. In the battle of Runan, Huang Zhong almost defeated Cao Jun through a forest.
They were defeated. The distance was probably seven or eight miles if not ten miles. Now that the soldiers have practiced observation, the range should be longer: "General, are you sure you can shoot the arrow to the camp on the other side?"
After Huang Zhong looked at it carefully for a while, he took off his bow and set it up. He aimed an arrow at the camp on the other side and hit the enemy's flag at the crossing, breaking it with one arrow.
"Lord, this place is less than four miles away from the enemy camp. Our three thousand sharpshooters, if supported by the military formation, can shoot to the enemy camp." Huang Zhong cupped his fists and said, this distance is within his range.
"This is easy to handle. Tomorrow the general will use sharp arrows to suppress the other side. We will send an elite force to cross the river. What do you think?" Chu Nan looked at the crowd and asked.
Although simple, this method seems to work.
Yu Jin and others thought for a moment and then nodded and said, "Maybe we can give it a try."
"Who wants to climb first?" Chu Nan asked with a smile.
"My lord, I am willing to go!" Li Tong stepped in and said with a salute.
"Okay, then Wenda will lead his troops to cross the river. I will give you three thousand elite soldiers to collect the ferry as soon as possible and cross the river early tomorrow morning!" Chu Nan looked at Li Tong and nodded.
"Here!" Li Tong agreed, then turned around and took people to collect ferries from nearby villages.
Although the Yellow River is as famous as the Yangtze River, it is not as wide as the Yangtze River, and it is also blocked by ice every winter. Therefore, there are generally no large-scale water battles like the Changjian side. Moreover, the Yellow River is different from the Yangtze River in that the water flow is more rapid.
The distance between the two banks is far less wide than that of the Yangtze River, so it is not suitable for water battles.
On the other side, Sui Yuanjin had already noticed the gathering of troops on the other side, and quickly brought his generals over to check. As soon as he arrived at the water village, he saw a sharp arrow flying from the other side and cutting off his general's flag.
"What an amazing archery skill!" Suiyuan came in to the watchtower and looked at the people on the other side from a distance. He frowned slightly and wanted to return the favor, but his archery skills were naturally not as good as Huang Zhong's, and at such a long distance,
Even if the arrow is shot, its power will be exhausted first, let alone its accuracy.
"General, who is this? Can he shoot arrows across the river? Could it be that he borrowed the power of the military formation?" the deputy general asked.
It would be better if the power of the military formation was used, but he didn't notice that the other party used the power of the military formation. Now that the power of heaven and earth has increased significantly, ordinary people can faintly feel something, let alone someone like him who has practiced the art of visualization.
As a general, if the other side uses the power of the military formation, it is impossible for him not to notice it.
"Looking at the world, the only person in the world who can shoot with such accuracy from such a long distance is probably Lu Bu." A flash of fear flashed in Sui Yuanjin's eyes. When Lu Bu was in Jizhou, he had seen Lu Bu's terrifying arrows.
In terms of magic, at the beginning, the power of heaven and earth was not obvious, and he had no visualization skills, but the power of Lu Bu's archery was still terrifying. If it were him, it would not be surprising that he could shoot the arrow cluster here with such accuracy.
Are you going to fight Lu Bu?
Thinking of Lu Bu's terrifying fighting power, Sui Yuanjin took a deep breath and ordered: "Be on strict guard and not let the other party get close to our ferry. In addition, we sent people to patrol along the river. Even a small enemy force cannot let them go."
he comes!"
Even if Lu Bu was the only one crossing the river, Sui Yuanjin was afraid that the other party would kill him in the midst of thousands of troops, so he immediately became extremely vigilant.
After thinking about it, Sui Yuanjin was still not safe, so he summoned a personal guard and said: "Go and inform General Chunyu immediately. Lu Bu should be here and teach him to move the general's camp closer to our army."
Even if he failed to defend and allowed the opponent to land successfully, Chunyu Qiong could still come to save him in time.
"Here!" the guard agreed and left after taking the order.
In order to prevent the opponent from crossing the river overnight to attack the ferry like Zhang Liao did, Sui Yuanjin also sent additional night watchmen, and at regular intervals, fired rockets into the surrounding rivers to illuminate the river and prevent the opponent from speculating.
Chu Nan slept quite peacefully all night.
Early the next morning, Li Tong prepared enough warships for 3,000 men to cross the river, and Chu Nan ordered Huang Zhong to lead 3,000 archers to set up an arrow array on the other side of the river.
"General, the other side seems to be trying to cross the river by force!" The general guarding the ferry saw this and quickly informed Sui Yuanjin.
Sui Yuanjin quickly got up and led everyone to the ferry, where he saw hundreds of boats of different sizes loading people.
Want to cross a river by force?
Just these ships?
Sui Yuanjin looked at the other party's actions and frowned slightly. How is this different from seeking death?
On the opposite bank, Chu Nan looked at the fishing boats and frowned. If such boats were to cross the river at this time, Li Tong alone would not be enough, right?
"My lord, many of the officers in the army are not accustomed to water. If you are not careful, General Wenda may be in danger!" Liu Ye frowned slightly as he watched several officers maneuvering the boat unsteadily.
"It doesn't matter, don't forget that we have helpers!" Chu Nan smiled and stretched out his hand, rolled up his sleeves, and saw a white snake coiled around Chu Nan's arm.
"It's up to you, help them cross the river more safely!" Chu Nan nodded at the little white dragon.
"Yo~" The little white dragon nodded very humanely, then let go of Chu Nan's arm and turned into a white light that plunged into the river. Then, in the surprised eyes of Yu Jin and others, they saw countless river fish heading this way.
As they gathered together, the boats that were originally swaying in the waves stabilized instantly.
"Wenda." Chu Nan looked at Li Tongdao: "There are little white dragons in the water to help you and others maneuver the boat. You don't need to take care of the boat, just attack the camp!"
"Here!" When Li Tong saw this scene, his confidence greatly increased. He immediately nodded in agreement and jumped on the boat. Surrounded by countless fish, the boat was as stable as a rock. He immediately said to the officers and soldiers: "Get on the boat!"
