Chapter 442: After seeing Backwater Bay, Tang Yin thought that this place was very good and could be used by his side to sneak across to Zhenjiang without even having to fight a water battle.

The purpose of fighting is to avoid one's own shortcomings and make use of one's strengths. It would be best if we could avoid fighting on the water and cross the river to directly fight the enemy on land.

On the way back, Tang Yin said to the old mayor: "The backwater bay introduced by the old man is excellent. To express my gratitude, I will arrange some soldiers to guard the old man's house. During this period, the old man will try his best to

Please avoid going out, food and supplies will be provided by our army."

He wanted to put the old mayor under temporary house arrest. Since Huishui Bay was going to be used as a stowaway place, the information had to be kept secret. It was necessary to control the old mayor and his family first.

The old mayor was a sensible person and naturally knew Tang Yin's purpose. He just asked: "Is this too much trouble for your army?" Hearing Tang Yin's answer that it was okay, he said nothing more.

After bidding farewell to the old mayor, Tang Yin immediately asked Cheng Jin to send orders to the nearby soldiers to surround the mayor's house. Only people were allowed to enter and no one was allowed to leave. If anyone was allowed to let go, he would be punished according to military law.

Cheng Jin personally issued the order. How could the Fengjun dare to neglect? The Fengjun general responsible for guarding Yingjiang Town immediately dispatched a large number of his men to surround the old town mayor's mansion. They said it was for protection, but in reality they were under house arrest.

After Tang Yin returned to the military camp, he immediately found Letian and Ai Jia and asked them to send people to the backwater bay to conduct a careful inspection to see whether there were any defenses on the other side and whether there were ambushes.

According to the simple sketch drawn by Tang Yin, Letian and Ai Jia led their respective subordinates to easily find the backwater bay.

They lurked here for a full day and night. Through observation throughout the day, they could confirm that there was indeed no defense on the opposite side, and only patrolling soldiers occasionally passed by during the day.

As for whether there is an ambush, they can't see clearly because there are mountains and forests on the other side. If they want to find out, they have to send people to swim to the other side. But the problem is that the current here is too fast, and whirlpools can be seen from time to time on the river. If

If someone swam over, ten times out of ten they would never come back. At this time, Ai Jia thought of another good idea. She released the falcon to the other side and looked down from top to bottom. If there were indeed a large number of soldiers ambushing in the forest,

Among them, it is definitely not hidden from the eyes of a falcon.

A falcon is useless in the hands of others, but in the hands of those loyal hunters who have lived with falcons since childhood and can even understand the language of falcons, it is very practical.

Through the observation of the falcon, the underground network personnel could confirm that there was no ambush in the mountains and forests opposite.

Lotte had already learned about the falcon's soul. Since the ground network confirmed that there was no problem, it should be correct. After a day and night of patient observation, Lotte and Ai Jia returned to the coalition camp and relayed the investigation information to Tang Yin.

.

After hearing this, Tang Yin was overjoyed. This was a piece of cake that fell from the sky. He found such a place where the enemy had no defense. He called in all the generals of Fengyu and Yu and showed them to everyone on the map.

Showcase this place in Backwater Bay.

The generals of both Fengyu and Yu armies were overjoyed after hearing this. They avoided water battles and crossed the river secretly. In this way, they could not only fight the land battles that their own side was good at, but also catch Mo's army by surprise, attack them unprepared, and kill Mo Du's army by surprise.

It's like a cyst on your own side.

All the generals believed that troops were valuable and quick, so they should take advantage of the backwater bay to cross the river as soon as possible without further delay.

Only Baili Tu frowned and said coldly to everyone: "Don't you think it is too easy for His Highness the Feng King to grasp this information? Moreover, the defense lines of the Mo army on the other side of Zhenjiang upstream and downstream extend to a hundred miles away.

, how could the backwater bay be missed? In my opinion, this matter should be investigated more carefully, and we must not act hastily, otherwise if we fall into the enemy's trap, we will regret it too late."

After hearing this, everyone sneered. Ai Jia was even more indignant. He stepped out of the queue and said in a deep voice: "We have already investigated and found out that there is no defense or ambush on the other side. Where is the trap? General Baili doesn't trust him.

A spy report from my Fengjun?"

Even though Ai Jia is a female, she is the person in charge of the underground network and has an unusual status. Even Baili Tu would not dare to provoke her. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Of course I don't mean this, I just think this is the case."

The matter is strange and should be discussed in the long term."

Seeing that Ai Jia was still arguing, Tang Yin waved his hand to her, signaling Ai Jia to calm down. Then, he asked Baili Tu: "How does General Baili think we should take a long-term approach?"

Baili Tu straightened his face and said: "Reporting to His Majesty Feng Wang, the general thinks that now we should immediately arrest the mayor of Yingjiang Town and all his family members, torture him for confession, and ask him whether he has anything to do with Mo Jun on the other side.

Collusion and deliberately setting up this trap."

Tang Yin listened carefully and was silent for a moment thoughtfully. He nodded first, and then shook his head. He first affirmed: "General Baili's caution is right." After a pause, he changed the subject, and then

Said: "But according to this king, it is unlikely that the mayor and Mo Jun colluded. This king went to Yingjiang Town on a temporary basis. He could not have known it in advance, nor could he have made a plan in advance to lure me into the bait. Baili

General, your worries are a bit unnecessary."

How could Bailitu dare to argue with Tang Yin, and what he said was reasonable, so he naturally had nothing to say. In fact, the reason why he proposed not to cross the river immediately was because of his evil intentions.

With the current high morale of the Fengyu Allied Forces, once they cross the river, they are likely to conquer Modu within three to five days. But now the Jade King Lingshuang is still on the way over, and he can conquer the enemy capital in the absence of his own monarch.

The fear that his country would lose many practical benefits that could be fought for was what Bailitu was most concerned about. As for the fear of falling into the trap of the Mozambican army, that was just an excuse for him.

Under Tang Yin's statement, Bailitu did not dare to stand up and sing the opposite. Seeing that no one objected, Tang Yin made a final decision: "Well, our army will use the backwater bay to cross the river."

At this time, Nie Ze stood up and reminded: "Your Majesty, if we want to cross the river at Backwater Bay, our navy ships must not be used. As long as our ships move, the other side will notice it and follow them.

It will be discovered that our army intends to use Backwater Bay to sneak into the country."

All the generals nodded, indicating that what Nie Ze said was true, and Tang Yin also secretly said that it made sense. Nie Ze continued: "Didn't your Majesty see the raft in the backwater bay? Our army can use this time to rush to make the raft.

, and then quietly cross the river on a raft."

"What General Nie said is true!" Xiao Muqing said: "As long as our army builds a raft large enough for 50,000 people to cross the river. As long as our 50,000 soldiers can reach the other side safely, the next crossing of the river will be very easy.

It’s easier.”

Tang Yin nodded while listening. When they finished speaking, he looked up and smiled. He raised his head and said to everyone: "In your opinion, generals, just do this. After you return, supervise your subordinates and rush to the scene immediately."

Build a raft.”

He gave an order, and Feng Yu's two armies moved up and down, and the whole army rushed to build rafts. As long as there is enough wood, it is easy to build rafts. Feng Yu's coalition army has nearly one million people, so it is not difficult to build thousands of rafts.

In just three days, the Fengyu Alliance quietly built more than 3,000 rafts. These many rafts were enough to transport 50,000 people across the river at once.

That night, the clouds made up and it was so dark that I couldn't even see my fingers.

Under Tang Yin's instruction, almost all the main force of the Fengyu Alliance Army left the camp, leaving only a small number of Fengguo naval forces, the Ninth Army Corps that were not suitable for stowaway, and 100,000 soldiers guarding the camp. The other officers and soldiers fought against the rafts and

After packing up the baggage, he quietly left the camp and headed straight for Huishui Bay.

Six or seventy miles away, it took more than two hours of urgent marching to arrive. The Sky Eye and Ground Network personnel who went to investigate first continuously sent back information from the other side of the backwater bay. The information was almost the same, and the sea was calm.

Safe and sound.

After Tang Yin led his army to arrive at Backwater Bay, he left a large number of soldiers to hide in the mountains and forests, sent the Hundred War Army to take the lead, and let the 50,000 Hundred War Army soldiers cross the river first.

Nie Ze was also unambiguous and took the order. Zhen country was not a landlocked country, and it was also close to the sea to the south, so there were not a few people in Zhen who were familiar with water. Nie Ze selected five regiments and ordered them to ride on rafts and take the lead.

Cross the river.

Soon, under Nie Ze's orderly command, the soldiers of the Baizhan Army dragged the raft into the water, and then a large number of soldiers quickly boarded the raft.

I don’t know if Nie Ze had the foresight to predict that his Hundred Battles Army would take the lead. In short, many of the Hundred Battles Army were carrying their skins.

These skin bags include pig skin, horse skin, and cowhide. They are all inflated and bulging, and they are tied around people's waists. Although they are not big, once they drown, those soldiers who do not know the nature of water will fall.

It won't sink to the bottom of the water all at once.

Zhen people are famous for not risking their lives in battles, but in normal times they are really careful and try to avoid casualties in non-combat situations.

It can also be seen from the skin bags that people carry that Nie Ze cares for the soldiers under his command from the bottom of his heart. As long as it is a rescue measure that he can think of, even if it is a little troublesome, he will do his best.

At this point, Nie Ze is probably better than many commanders. He can be supported by Zhenren soldiers, so he is naturally superior.

When all the people from one legion got on the raft, Nie Ze immediately gave the order to row to the other side as quickly as possible. Then, he arranged for the soldiers from the second legion to get on the raft.

One after another, the soldiers of the Baizhan Army boarded the raft, and the raft rowed toward the other side one after another.

Tang Yin and others who were standing on the shore and watching had their hearts in their throats and their eyes were staring straight at the soldiers who had entered the river without blinking.

The further you go to the center of the river, the more turbulent the river becomes, and the more undercurrents and whirlpools there are. The rafts are not as easy to control as the boats. The soldiers of the Baizhan Army on them are desperately paddling the boards in their hands to control the direction. Even so, there are still many rafts.

The raft was swept off course.@.
