Li Jing received the military newspaper from the vanguard Zhu Cheng, and knew that the enemy had been found in front of him, so he ordered the entire army to be prepared for battle so as not to be caught off guard by the enemy.

From the information ahead, it can be seen that the target of Xia State, Yili United, this time, is very different from previous forces. The most obvious one is that the other party knows how to use wisdom. Just this point, you know that the enemy cannot be underestimated.

By sending troops deep into the enemy's abdomen to carry out sabotage, we can know that there must be capable people in the Yili alliance, which is completely different from the enemy that Xia Kingdom encountered in the past that they only acted recklessly.

Previously, Li Jing thought that this time his opponent would only be the same as the forces he encountered before, either dispatching a large army to choose a battlefield and fighting face to face; or he would hold on to the city and have a war of attrition with the Xia army.

But now all the signs he received from the front indicate that the enemy this time cannot be despised - although Li Jing has never despised any opponent.

The distance between the Pioneer Army and the main force is only about one day. This is a distance that is not far or near. If it is far, it will not be as good as supporting the Pioneer. If it is close, there is no need to set up a Pioneer.

In addition to inquiring about the enemy situation, building bridges when encountering water, and opening roads when encountering mountains, the more important task of the vanguard army is to disrupt the deployment of the enemy and to gain time for the main force behind.

Just like when the Xia Kingdom went to the expedition, with Zhu Cheng's vanguard in front, the main force behind can be safe and bold, and there is no need to worry about suddenly appearing and attacking the enemy. Of course, it does not mean that the main force has not sent scouts, at least there must be vigilance.

Even if an enemy bypasses the vanguard and directly attacks its main force, the vanguard army in front will become a surprise soldier, threatening the enemy at any time - at least the enemy with some brains will not choose this way, because this will make him very passive.

If the enemy chooses to divide the troops and attack the main force and the vanguard at the same time, it will be no different from fighting head-on on the battlefield. It will be back to the result of who is stronger. It is meaningless to do so.

In addition, if the vanguard army encounters a small number of enemy troops, it will be annihilated. If it encounters the main force of the enemy, it will not be eliminated as soon as possible. At least it can persist until the main force behind it.

War itself is a very complex and huge system. In short, if you want to win, strategy, and strength are indispensable. This is a competition of wisdom and courage, organization and knowledge...

On the side of the Pioneer Army, Zhu Cheng led the army to the river where the bridge was damaged in the scout report. He looked at the river that was neither wide nor narrow, and could not pass by just wading.

"Order the militia in the rear to bring the tools and come to build a bridge." Without saying a word, Zhu Cheng issued an order to build a bridge, but he thought that there were enemies here, so he added: "Order the minion army to send two teams of thousands of people to come here for escort."

With Zhu Cheng's order, the militia behind quickly rushed to the river with various professional tools and began to log and build bridges. The Pioneer Army also sent two teams of thousands of people from the minion army to guard the periphery. As for the inner circle, of course, soldiers from the 11th Regiment were guarded and guarded.

Because the heaviest weapon in the Xia army was nothing more than a siege cannon, and in addition to a logistics convoy, the bridges built by the Pioneer Army were not permanent, as long as the army's pass requirements were met.

In less than a day, the militia built a simple wooden bridge on this river so that the army could cross the river. Although the bridge was simple, it did not mean poor quality. At least it could exist for many years without anyone being damaged.

The Pioneer Army soon crossed the river and placed a battalion of troops here to protect them in case the enemy came again for damage.

As the vanguard continued to move forward, they found that the situation on the river was completely different, as if they stepped onto the battlefield the moment they stepped across the river. This shore and the other shore were completely two different worlds!

------------

How could the outside forces not know about the great movement of the Xia army?

Especially for Yili United, when they knew that the target of Xia Kingdom was them, the lords in the United were all scared to death.

That is a 400,000 army! So many people, even one saliva is enough to drown them, let alone this is from the mysterious and powerful army of Xia Kingdom in the legend. Who dares to say that they can resist it?

Even if we later learned that 100,000 of these 400,000 people came from five vassal states and 100,000 familiar faces, even so, the remaining 200,000 would be enough to destroy them several times.

Even if there are not 200,000 people from Xia Kingdom, even if the other 200,000 people are on the same level as their army, they will not be able to provide so many people to resist. Not to mention that there are not so many ifs.

Therefore, as soon as the news of the Xia army was dispatched, the information from the news made the powerful and powerful people in Yili United feel incredible, and the strong sense of fear followed that a large number of surrender factions appeared among the forces within the United Nations.

The same was true for the command of the Viscount Brim, the Lord of the United Yili. When Yili learned that the Xia army was coming, he summoned his subordinates to discuss.

After learning the news in the castle hall, the powerful people were quiet first, then there was an unbelievable noise, and finally calmed down again under Yili's roar. However, the powerful people at this time were far less arrogant than when they first entered the castle, and their faces became extremely ugly, as if the sky was about to collapse.

After Yili yelled at the noisy powerful people in the hall, she turned to look at Bernie with a ugly expression and asked, "Bernie, do you have any good solutions?" Now Yili has developed something and asked Bernie.

Bernie Klee now has the intelligence system of the territory. Even the information about Xia's march was told by him. His brain was thinking about this issue until Yili summoned the powerful and wealthy to discuss.

At this time, Bernie was asked by his lord, and he said what he thought of: "Go back to Lord Lord, now we have to fight."

"Come on the fight? What are we going to fight?" As soon as Bernie finished speaking, a powerful man on the side immediately stood up to refute. After he got the question, he turned to Yili and said, "Lord, you can't listen to Bernie again this time. That's an army of 400,000, how can we fight!"

"What if you don't fight?" When Bernie heard this, he sneered and forced him unceremoniously: "Are you going to surrender? Where are you trying to put Lord Lord?"

"This...this..." The powerful man didn't know how to refute it for a long time. Although surrender was what he thought, Bernie now carried out the lord Yili. If he said what he thought in front of everyone, wouldn't he meant he was going to betray him?

"Get back." Yili couldn't see it anymore, so he asked the powerful to retreat, and then said to Bernie: "You continue."

"Lord." Bernie didn't care about the powerful people who hated him. He thought for a while and then said, "Since we can't fight together with the Xia army, we can only find a few more forces to unite."
