If you can stand in the sky and look down, you can see two black streams of people rolling towards the target of Songcheng from north to south, from east to west.

The two cavalrymen of Shangyunxi had already been patrolling the ancient Bian River.

The troops from the northern naval army had already built floating bridges on the Bian River so that the Heshuo Army could cross the river smoothly.

The main force of the northern naval army was formed based on the Juyeze water bandits of the Chao and Ruan families. Although the scale was not large, there were only two armies, which needed to control the waterways north of the Huai River, including the Ji River (including the Juyeze), the Bian River (including the Mengzhu River), the Si River and the Canal.

Since the water conditions in the north are completely different from those in the south, and they are not as well-connected as the southern waterways, the naval forces of the three armies are mostly mainly small boats and boats, and are scattered on each waterway, mainly controlling traffic throats and important lakes and swamps, such as Juyeze and Mengzhuze, and on the Jishui and Bian River.

The Third Army of the Northern Navy is also being formed, mainly to control the river water. This waterway is currently a natural barrier between Xuzhou and Heshuo. In order to ensure the future control of the river water and the next step of Pinglu Army crossing the river, the Third Army had to take on the important task of Pinglu Army's Northern Expedition to Cross the River as soon as it was ready to take on the important task of Pinglu Army's Northern Expedition to Cross the River.

The sound of "hey hey" made the Bian River lively. The navy soldiers guarded both ends of the pontoon bridge, watching curiously as heavy carriages and brigades of pack horses began to cross the Bian River.

"Master, what are these things? They are so heavy?" asked curiously, the soldier with bare shirtless and only wearing a breast and wood armor.

The red sun was like fire, and the ground was hot. The heat on both sides of the Bian River was even more irritating, which was extremely uncomfortable. However, both the navy soldiers and the vanguard of the Heshuo Army were still carefully guarding the floating bridge to prevent the enemy's sneak attacks.

In order to ensure safety, Shang Yunxi even sent both cavalry troops across the Bian River and patrolled along the south bank of the Bian River to avoid being attacked. The first army of the Heshuo Army's infantry was also preparing to cross the river on another floating bridge.

"Don't ask so much, they are all magical equipment. Who knows what it is?" A navy officer stood on the mailhouse while scanning the surroundings, and replied casually: "It must be used to attack Songcheng. I heard that the Caizhou army in the south is crazy about strengthening the Songcheng defense facilities and digging many trenches to block the approaching of our Xuzhou army. It seems that they are afraid of these things."

The navy received the order three days ago. In order to avoid exposure, they remained silent before coming, just cruising in this line of waters, together with Wuwentang, to observe whether there were any abnormal movements in the Caizhou army.

It was not until the day before the order was received that the navy took quick action. It took only eight hours to build two floating bridges and several sentry towers were built near the bridgehead on the south bank of the Bian River. Some small catapults and crossbows were also arranged next to the sentry towers. As long as it was not a large-scale army attack, it was completely enough to withstand ordinary attacks.

"Master, after this war, the prince is afraid that he will enter the Central Plains?"

The propaganda offensive within the Xuzhou army has long been released. Since we are going to fight a battle with the Caizhou army openly, the early propaganda must be in place, so that the soldiers of each army can understand why they have to fight this battle and what will they get if they win this battle?

After winning this battle, the prince will control the Central Plains of the Five Prefectures of Song, Chen, Ying, Bo and Cai, especially the Ying and Bo.

At that time, most of the main forces of Jiang Feng's Huaiyou Army recruited refugees from Yingbo and the two states of Ying and Bo. After a few years, most of them have become the main soldiers of the army. Although most of them have settled in the three states of Guangxu, their feelings for their hometown cannot disappear so quickly. Now that there is such an opportunity to fight back to their hometown and become heroes to retake their hometown, it will naturally arouse their great enthusiasm.

"Well, at least half of the Central Plains will belong to the princes, and the remaining one is still in the hands of the Shatu people. We will work with the prince to drive the Shatu people back out of the frontier. Then everyone can go home and get married and farm to live a peaceful life." The little officer's eyes were also full of longing.

If you follow the prince to fight, you will have hope. If you are lucky, you can get a good land. Even if you don’t have that kind of good thing, as long as you accumulate military merits, you will be able to accumulate in the future. Even if you are injured or disabled, the prince’s promises will be fulfilled. If you are old and young, you can get a care.

What else do you want? This life is sold to the prince.

It is less than a hundred miles away from Songcheng. It can be said that as long as you cross the Bian River, there will be a smooth road ahead. Shang Yunxi does not think that the Caizhou army will give up such an opportunity to raid. Although they will not be able to succeed with this opportunity, they will be able to succeed after all.

The two pontoon bridges were adjacent to each other, with only one mile up and down. After crossing the river, several heavy carriages and pack horses began to be built between the two pontoon bridges. In less than two hours, several fire dragon cannons, heavy crossbows and catapults were formed and quickly arranged.

This is the great convenience brought by standardized parts production. Whether it is a catapult, a heavy crossbow or a fire dragon cannon, the parts are broken down into dozens of accessories made according to certain standards. As long as you are experienced, you can disassemble it in a very short time, and you can also be combined and molded in a very short time. Moreover, if a certain part is damaged and worn, they can also be diagnosed and quickly replaced.

This method has become increasingly a model. The magical equipment of the various military armed forces in Xuzhou operates in this model, and their efficiency has been greatly improved. On the battlefield, even if it takes a moment, it can cause greater blows to the enemy and win more opportunities for themselves.

On another floating bridge, the infantry crossed the river very quickly. The troops of one capital quickly gathered at the bridgehead, and then the two capital soldiers also crossed the river to form formations. Even if there were cavalry guarding the surrounding area, they still followed their own rules and never rely on others.

Two figures emerged from the soil, and the monocular mirror in their hands carefully observed the situation on the river bank.

"How about it?"

"The Xuzhou army came too fast. Their navy controlled the entire waters. The navy in Caizhou was too weak and could not compete with their navy. It seemed that it was not good."

The man who had been turning the monocular mirror shook off the soil on his body. The yellowish tight robe looked almost integrated with the soil.

"Their cavalry has a large range of expansion, and our cavalry dare not get too close. Once they are entangled, it will be difficult to get out."

"Then what else do we mean here? Just relying on those little magic arrangements will not play a big role. At most, it will only create some chaos for them. Without cooperating with the attack, it will be worthless." The other person said anxiously.

"What can we do if there is insufficient troops?" The man holding a monocular mirror was still observing and was still a little unwilling to give up. "The head of the family is now in the city and has called out the cavalry. After speaking, the cavalry can sacrifice, but it must be sacrificed valuable. But looking at the current situation, can we achieve the goal of valuable? It is impossible."

"You mean..." the companion was a little confused.

"Either give up or use the dragon bird tail to fight to the death." The man replied coldly.

The companion shivered and subconsciously said, "What can this team of dragon bird tails help? That's to die."

"You have to go to death, use magic traps to create chaos, bypass their defensive positions, attack the floating bridges of the carriages, and use fire magic to burn the floating bridges. Xuzhou army is known for its powerful magical equipment. Burning their magical equipment can also contribute to the defense of Songcheng." The man's tone was a little more determined, and he had obviously made up his mind.

"When will it be launched?" The companions seemed to be moved. Think about the comparison between the troops stationed in Songcheng and the troops of Xuzhou army that are advancing continuously, and think about the fierce magical equipment of the Xuzhou army. This sacrifice should be worth it, but I don't know if it can achieve the expected goal.

"Wait for another two quarters of an hour, and wait until the Xuzhou army comes with more carriages, you can inform them now." The man's face was cold, "You can't delay it for too long. I'm worried that the Xuzhou army's magicians will follow up. Our ambush may not be able to hide from their magicians, and it is not easy to find this opportunity."

"Okay, I'll inform them to prepare." The companion took a deep breath.

"Tell them to bring everything well and use it all at once, and we only have this chance." The man raised his head slightly, "The head of the family will arrange their family."

"I understand." The companion nodded a little sadly, clasped his fists, inhaled, and penetrated into the ground. He was obviously a master of earth magic.

There were more and more carriages coming from the river bank, and they were divided into formations. The Xuzhou army was also very cautious and arranged the convoys behind the catapults and heavy crossbows positions. The navy also carefully protected the carriages.

The infantry crossing the river had quickly reached an army and began to set up defense along the river bank to form a line of defense to prevent enemy troops from attacking.

Everything seems normal, but the Bian River is in Songzhou after all, and even if the navy army in northern Xuzhou has not controlled it for a long time, it still dares not take it lightly.

The man quietly attached to the mound of soil without any movement.

The Xuzhou Army's steps are very standardized and there are no mistakes, but they will never think that the dragon bird tail, which is fearless, can be fearless.

Silently calculating the time, the man seemed to be in a state of meditation. Everything in the family, parents, wives and children seemed to come to his mind, and perhaps this would be gone in the next moment.

As time approached, he had received a signal from his companion and was about to stop, just waiting to attack.

Maybe all this makes no sense, but for the sake of the family, he must do so.
