About an hour later, a pontoon bridge was erected. By this time it was a quarter of five to two. Tian Yu looked at the neatly standing army behind him and waved his hand: "The order goes on, light the torch, and the army crosses the river!"

Following his order, a team of soldiers came out of the army. Each corps leader fired a torch, formed a number of teams, and walked towards the opposite bank.

Soon the five thousand foot soldiers had crossed the river, and under the guidance of the Shadow Guards, they were heading south of the ferry. They must rush to establish a defensive formation on the south of the ferry before the Qin Jun's sentry arrived.

Immediately after the first school's infantry were five thousand cavalrymen, followed by crossbowmen and the other school's infantry infantry. After the main force had all crossed the river, the five thousand civilians and the grain and grass they transported were the last to cross the river.

As expected by Tian Yu, the cavalry had only spent more than a thousand times, and the Qin Army's patrol post discovered the situation of the army crossing the river. Soon, one after another, arrows sounded on the west bank of the river, followed by three pillars of wolf smoke in the south of Longmen Crossing. A few miles away, the sky was already fully lit up, a round of red sun rose from the east, and the three pillars of wolf smoke were immediately seen by the defenders in Xiayang City to the south.

The Qin army in Xiayang City suddenly became busy, and the alarm bell sounded at the head of the city. Teams of soldiers ran out of the military camps in the city, armed with guns, and ran towards the head of the city they were defending.

After a while, Xiayang defender Li Li appeared at the head of the city. At the same time, after the south gate of Xiayang city opened, Shishu rode out from the city on a red-lined messenger, and then divided into several teams, rushing in several directions.

However, what makes Qin Jun’s sentry cavalry feel strange is that after crossing the river, Tang Jun just lined up on the south side of the ferry, but did not intend to attack halfway. Even the thousands of cavalry who had crossed the river did not have the slightest intention of chasing after him, just quiet. Stand quietly behind the pawns square.

In less than two hours, Duan Yan, the prefect of Qin Guo Zuo Feng Yi, received the news that the Tang army had crossed the river. Duan Yan was shocked when he heard this. The captain and cavalry general led Niu Jin to the direction of Xiayang.

What Duan Yan didn't expect was that the cavalry came back less than an hour after leaving. The message was that Tang Jun had led his army northward along the west bank of the river. There were a total of 30,000 troops. When they left, they would have been set up smoothly. The pontoon bridge was destroyed, and the five Hengjiang iron cables were taken back by Tang Jun in Hedong.

Hearing the news, Duan Yan let out a long sigh of relief, and at the same time made him feel a little vigilant. The defense of Longmendu must be strengthened, no, it should be said that it is established. Tang Jun can cross the river from here once. Cross the river twice and three times. If Tang Jun meant Feng Yi this time, he might be caught off guard.

Thinking of this, Duan Xuan quickly ordered Xiayang defender Li Li to follow Tang Jun on the one hand to confirm that their army had left Feng Yi, and the other was to immediately send people to build an army formation on the west bank of Longmen and send a thousand. The soldiers guarded the ferry day and night to prevent Tang Jun from crossing the river again.

If Huangfu Chaobo knew what Duan Yan was thinking, he would definitely sneer. If he wanted to attack Feng Yi, there would be so many places to cross the river, not to mention that after he captured Shangjun, if he wanted to attack Qin, it would be easy to turn his back thing.

When Tian Yu led 30,000 soldiers and horses to cross the river, Hua Xiong had also led the rest of the soldiers and horses to march towards Caisangjin to the north. With the Huaxiong army set off were 10,000 civilian craftsmen and 100,000 stones, grains and grass.

With the opportunity of attacking Shangdang last year, almost the entire Shangdang road was repaired, especially the roads that were very difficult on weekdays, such as those between the three counties of Duanshi, Beiqu and Puzi, and Zhucheng in the hinterland of Hedong. The roads were all renovated last year, which allowed the Huaxiong army to move very fast.

...

In Dingyang City, the day after Tian Yu's army crossed the river, the Shangjun people had already received the news. When they learned that Tang Jun had only 30,000 troops to cross the river, they were all very happy. Fazheng did not have the optimism of the three players. Now they have completely lost the information in the direction of Hedong, so they don't know anything about the movement in the direction of Hedong.

But Fazheng knew that the Tang Army could not have only these soldiers. According to the news from the scout, the army of Tian Yu only had 20,000 infantry, 5,000 cavalry, and 5,000 civilian men. In other words, the food and grass they carried was only enough for these 30,000 people in a month. Longmendu should have returned to the control of the Qin army, so the Tang army must have wanted to transport troops and horses and grain from Caisangjin to cross the river to support the next war.

Sure enough, as expected by the law, three days later, Hukou Town came back with news that tens of thousands of Tang Jun appeared on the opposite side of Caisangjin's east bank wharf, and the number should be between 40,000 and 50,000. There are thousands of trucks alone.

"Several generals, the war is about to begin!" Fazheng looked at Dongfang and said to the three;

"Military strategist, don't we really need to send troops halfway to intercept Tian Yu and their army?" Wang Xin said the remaining person unwillingly;

"The road on the west bank of the river is not wide, and Tian Yu's army is pioneered by three thousand cavalry, and the infantry is closely guarded by the heavy convoy. We have almost no chance to be a threat to Tian Yu's army, so we still It's better to focus your time and energy on the defense of Hukou Town." Fazheng shook his head and said;

"General Yokoye, has the head of General Xu Huang arrived in Hukou Town?"

"The news that I just got this morning, Xu Huang has led an army to Hukou Town, and now he has taken over the defense of Hukou." The remaining person replied quickly for Wang;

A few days ago, after several people discussed, they each drew out a thousand foot soldiers, together with the four thousand Xiongnu cavalry led by Liu Bao, under the leadership of Xu Huang, went to Hupin Town to strengthen the defense. As a result, Hukou Town has five thousand infantry and four thousand cavalry, their purpose is to use Hukou to kill as much as possible the Tang sergeant.

Unfortunately, from Hukou Town to Dingyang, there is nowhere to build a territory, and in the past few years, the leftovers are kings and there is no defense such as a pass army formation in this mile-long valley. Sexual architecture, so between Dingyang and Huguan Town, there is only a ravine with a width of about one hundred feet.

In fact, a few people have thought about building one or two passes in this one, but even a small pass cannot be built in ten and a half months. The most important thing is that the leftovers do not have so many buildings in the hands of the king. Materials, like last year, the reason why Chen Gong was able to build the Nanguan within ten days of the Tang Army’s attack was that the Nanguan was originally an existing pass. Zhao Jun only needed to repair it, and one more thing was In addition to 10,000 civilian husbands, they also carry a lot of building materials to achieve such speed and efficiency, but the leftovers are king now but they do not have either of the two conditions.
