Chapter 261 Crossing the River, Crossing the River

Chapter 261 Crossing the River, Crossing the River

In Nanyang City, since Xiang Yu had plans to attack Nanyang, Wang Jian and his son have been closely monitoring the movement of the enemy on the opposite side.

Shouchun is not far from Nanyang. Now all Xiang Yu's armies are stationed in Shouchun, which puts great pressure on the Qin army.

Sitting in the big tent, Wang Jian was thinking about the enemy's situation, and a cold light flashed in his eyes from time to time.

"General, our army's secret sentry found that the Chu army was preparing to cross the river."

"Instruct all ministries to prepare for battle. The entire scout battalion will be dispatched along the Huaihe River for fifty miles. If there is any news of the enemy, report immediately." Wang Jian ordered loudly.

"No." The guard took the order and quickly retreated.

As the patriarch of the Wang clan, Wang Jian was old and didn't need to lead the army to fight.

But he thinks that right now is the time when Qin State is most short of people, if he doesn't help, how can he be worthy of the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

At the same time, in the lower reaches of the Huaihe River, countless torches illuminated the south bank like daylight, and small boats or rafts were pushed into the river.

On the south bank of the Huaihe River, which stretches for more than ten miles, Fan Zeng chose three places to cross the river.

Although they all knew that the attack on Nanyang was just a cover, the purpose was to attract the attention of the enemy army, so that the film masters could sneak attack on Wuguan from the path.

But with Wu Rui's cautious personality, it was impossible for him to put all the chips together.

We have to fight on the Guanzhong road, but we can't just make a false shot on the Nanyang road.

Sitting on the horse, Wu Rui looked at the Baiyue barbarians who boarded the boat or raft one after another with complicated eyes, and heaved a long sigh.I don't know how many people will return home alive after this battle.

Ying Bu, who was following Wu Rui, heard Wu Rui's long sigh, and his eyes were full of disapproval.

If a man wants to achieve great things, he cannot be bound by the benevolence of a woman.

"Father, our army is ready. Why is there still no movement from the Xiang family?" Ying Bo asked respectfully.

Although it was agreed in advance, Xiang Yu led a partial army to sneak attack Guanzhong, and Wu Rui's army attacked Nanyang, attracting the attention of the Qin army nearby. When Wang Jian and his son saw Wu Rui's army crossing the river, they would definitely mobilize and chase them. At this time, the members of the Xiang clan The army rushed directly to the rear of Wang Jian's camp, cutting off their retreat.

Wang Jian found out that the whole army would be in chaos when the camp was attacked, and then it was time for them to cross the river.

As long as they succeed in crossing the river, the Qin army in the city must be defeated under the attack of their two forces.

That's why Wu Rui prepared to cross the river with great fanfare, after all, he couldn't hide this thing even if he wanted to.

Logically speaking, it was impossible for Wang Jian to miss such a big movement here, but the area on the north bank of the Huaihe River was still dark.There was no sign of Qin Jun.

Could it be that they have figured out that their journey was just a feint?

Wu Rui shook his head. Although Wang Jian is powerful, he is definitely not a genius.If he wanted to see through their schemes so easily, he didn't have the ability.

But this kind of waiting made his heart more restless.

If Wang Jian finds out, I'm afraid they really want to steal chickens and lose money. Not only will they not be able to kill Wang Jian, but they may even join their two armies.

Like the north bank of the Huaihe River in the dead zone, like a giant beast with its mouth wide open, it waits for their initiative to be delivered to its mouth, and then swallows it in one gulp.

"Wait!" Wu Rui said in a deep voice.

Seeing that Wu Rui was not talking, Ying Bu could only ride his horse and stand behind him.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The Baiyue soldiers on the boat were already a little noisy. If Wu Rui hadn't been on the shore, someone might have driven the warship to the other side.

Everyone didn't know when to wait, a kind of unknown made them feel confident.

Wu Rui and the others on the south bank were waiting, and Wang Jian and his son and one hundred thousand soldiers of the Qin Army in Nanyang City were also waiting anxiously, but it was clear that the patience of the soldiers of the Qin Army far exceeded those of the Baiyue soldiers.The army stood quietly in the city, like a dead thing.

When the second wave of scouts passed the news to Wang Jian, Wang Jian asked Wang Ben to lead several generals to inspect the south bank in person.

Seeing that Wu Rui's [-]-strong army on the south bank was preparing to cross the river, Wang Ben immediately dispatched [-] troops to guard the other side of the river in three groups, waiting for the rabbit.

After the [-] troops left, the city suddenly became quite empty.

Although there are tens of thousands left, most of them are heavy soldiers, which cannot be compared with the main force led by Wang Ben.

Standing on the north bank of the Huaihe River, looking at the enemy troops on the south bank, Wang Ben finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Rui didn't have so many ships in his hands to transport all the 1 troops across the river at one time.Together with the boats they collected and the rafts they made temporarily, one-time rush to the summit means sending [-] troops across the river, that is, [-] people along the way.

Relying on the combat power of the Great Qin soldiers, even if the rebels rushed over, they were not afraid, not to mention that they still crossed the river in batches. For them, this was a lunch delivered to their door.

Is it really that easy to fight?
Wang Ben was a little puzzled.

In the current scene, crossing the river is directly to die, not to mention crossing the river at midnight. With the power of Qin's bow and crossbow, I am afraid that when they really rush over, there will be no one in ten.

Could it be that the general of the Chu Kingdom on the other side wants to come and give away his head?
But since it was a gift, why didn't they come? They seemed to be waiting for something.

"Father, the Chu army on the other side seems to be waiting for something. This seems a bit strange!" Wang Li, who was next to him, rode his horse to his father's side.

"Why do you think they are? What are they waiting for?" Wang Li's words also filled Wang Ben's own doubts.

"I don't know about the final general, but unless there is a rebel army on the opposite side who can disrupt our army's deployment, if we cross the river like this, the Huai River may be their grave." Wang Li speculated.

"You mean the enemy troops will cross the river from other places?" Wang Ben asked suspiciously.

"Returning to Commander-in-Chief, the last general is just a guess. Our scouts are only exploring along the [-] miles upstream and downstream. Our army doesn't know the place beyond [-] miles. If the enemy army makes a fuss about these [-] miles, we don't know." Wang Li thought about it.

After listening to Wang Li's words, Wang Ben remained silent because this possibility was still possible.

"Order, let all our scouts dispatch, divide into two groups, and explore [-] miles along the upstream and downstream, and report immediately if they find any traces of the enemy. And send someone to send an order to the commander to strictly prevent the enemy from sneaking in." Wang Ben ordered loudly road.

"promise."

At this moment, a fast horse galloped towards him, and immediately fell to the ground before the knight got close, struggling to get up, the guards around Wang Ben quickly got off the horse and helped him up.

Seeing the appearance of this soldier, Wang Ben suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Qi Taiwei, the enemy army, the enemy army suddenly crossed the river twenty miles downstream of our army, and now it is less than ten miles away from us."
