One.
Jiang Pengji, who was resting with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes when she heard the commotion. Her dark eyes flashed with a cold light.
As she got up, she picked up the long sword on her knees with her right hand and carried it on her shoulder.
"Han Mei, let's go …"
She opened the tent flap and saw a young general in armor standing to the side. His mature face had lost its childish look and was full of masculinity.
Jiang Pengji was also wearing armor and looked like she was going to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
The strategists beside her had already given up on treating her. No matter how they persuaded her, their lord was not willing to be a quiet princess in the main tent of the central army. The way she carried a horse-slaying sword and fought bravely against the enemy made even the chief commander, Fu Wang, fearful. They were also in despair.
Others hoped that their lord could do more, but they only hoped that their lord could be more vigilant.
"The Yi River has been foggy for 15 minutes. Even if we light a fire, we won't be able to see clearly from 300 steps away." Li Yun saw Jiang Pengji walk out of the main tent and hurriedly followed. He said as he walked, "The two strategists feel that the time is ripe. In less than an hour, the enemy will surely disembark."
Only three days had passed since the first day of the lunar calendar. There was only a small crescent moon in the sky. The moonlight was dim and gloomy.
Because of the weather, dark clouds covered the sky. The few rays of moonlight were also obscured. The visibility on the ground was very low.
In Wu Liba's view, God was also helping him. The opportunity did not come again. He could not let go of such a great opportunity.
"Don't be careless. Wu Liba is a rare wise general in the northern borderline. He is very experienced. Whether it is you or the gentlemen, the path you have taken has been too smooth compared to others. Precisely because of this, you should always be vigilant … "
Jiang Pengji trusted her strategists, but she would not blindly trust them.
Compared to Wu Liba, who had rich experience in war, whether it was the late bloomer Sun Wen or the crafty Feng Zhen, they were no match for Wu Liba in terms of experience. Wu Liba had suffered at Jiang Pengji's hands before. The night attack on the shore this time would not be easy to deal with.
Li Yun looked like he had learned something. His little tail that had just been raised drooped down obediently.
"We know that it is highly likely that Wu Liba will cross the river tonight and launch a sneak attack. However, we do not know when he will arrive or from which direction. Now, we can only deal with the changes by not changing, instructing the vanguard camp to be on their toes and not slack off at all … "
Jiang Pengji met up with Feng Zhen and the others.
When she arrived, Feng Zhen and Jiang Nongqin, the commandant of the female battalion, were discussing in a low voice. Sun Wenze, who was beside them, frowned deeply.
"Greetings, my lord!" The three of them bowed in unison.
"No need to be so polite. How are the preparations?"
Jiang Nongqin said in a low voice, "Your Highness, we're almost ready. We're just waiting for the movement on the river."
She was one year older than Jiang Pengji's current body. As half of Jiang Pengji's disciple and the first female general under Jiang Pengji's command, the pressure on her was far greater than anyone could imagine. In the few years that Jiang Pengji had been conserving her energy, Jiang Nongqin had also been working hard to enrich herself. She studied military books and practiced diligently.
In the past two years, she had also developed from a simple general to a scholar and a martial artist.
As a woman, her reputation in the military camp was second only to Fu Wang and Meng Hun. She was on par with Li Yun and slightly better than Dian Yan.
Jiang Nongqin's contributions could not go unnoticed for the female battalion to be able to develop a scale of 20,000 combat elites and 4,000 medical soldiers.
Jiang Pengji looked at the pitch-black surface of the river with a grave expression.
Although they had made sufficient preparations, the vanguard battalion only had 30,000 troops. Even if they were all elites, they could not withstand the large number of enemies.
"I'm afraid it will be a tough battle tonight. No matter what, we have to hold on for a few days …"
"Rest assured, my lord. I will definitely fight to the end."
A woman's voice was either as gentle as water or as clear as a silver bell. Jiang Nongqin's voice was like a blood-stained knife. Every word was filled with murderous intent.
Although she did not have a stocky build, when she stood there, she looked like a sharp spear.
After half an hour, the fog on the surface of the river became thicker …
It's here!
The female soldiers of the vanguard battalion sent back news that a large number of "fireflies" had appeared on the surface of the river and were approaching the east bank.
As time passed, the number of "fireflies" increased.
Through the thick fog, these moving "fireflies" could be seen from far to near, from small to large, like fireflies.
In the dark night, it looked very horrifying.
Jiang Nongqin's expression was solemn. She seemed to have thought of something. She said to Sun Wen, "Military Advisor Sun, I'm afraid it's a trap."
Sun Wen smiled and said, "Captain Jiang, you're right. It's indeed a trap."
It was obviously a sneak attack. Why did he light a torch in the thin fog? Was he trying to deceive himself?
Wu Liba was an old general with rich combat experience. He was best at seizing the opportunity. His arrangements were even more meticulous and experienced.
How could such a person overlook such a huge flaw?
"Although the fog on the surface of the river is thick, since it's a sneak attack, why did he light a torch? Was he afraid that others would not notice him? I think that Wu Liba did this on purpose. He wanted us to focus our attention on this area. He thought that he would land here and launch a sneak attack. This is the first reason. "
Sun Wen wore a smile on his face. Even though the "fireflies" on the surface of the river were approaching the shore, he remained motionless.
"Secondly, the foreign tribes of the North borderline live by water. A mere Yi River is nothing to them. Even if they did not light a torch and the water surface is no more than five miles wide, they would be able to cross the river smoothly. In summary, this should be a deliberate decoy. We must not fall for it. "
Sun Wen spoke calmly. What he wanted to say was exactly what Jiang Nongqin was thinking.
Who would shout before a sneak attack —
Don't hide, I'm coming to attack you?
"Even so, ordinary people are still easily fooled." The atmosphere of war could make people tense up and often cause them to overlook certain details. Jiang Nongqin sighed and said, "Unfortunately, the Yi River is cold now. If it were summer, Wu Liba might be able to make you suffer a little …"
Sun Wen looked at Jiang Nongqin in surprise. "Please give me some pointers, Captain Jiang."
Seeing Sun Wen's reaction, Jiang Nongqin said uneasily, "I can't say that I'm giving pointers. I just feel that the foreign tribes of the North borderline know the Yi River like the back of their hands. Their swimming skills should not be weak either. If it were summer, the river would not be so cold. Perhaps people could use the hull of the boat as a cover to cross the river. "
Although Jiang Nongqin's imagination was wild, it was not impossible.
When encountering a meticulous person like Sun Wen, he would definitely think that the appearance of a torch on the boat on the river was a feint by the enemy.
Little did he know that the enemy was hiding under the shadow of the boat. If they crossed the river, they would be caught off guard.
"Lieutenant Jiang, you've taught this old man a lesson. Thank you."
Sun Wen bowed with his hands folded in front. He valued Jiang Nongqin even more.
Jiang Nongqin was just saying.
She was experienced in war and training, but she was still an intern when it came to giving advice. She had IQ and knowledge but lacked actual combat experience.
Jiang Pengji asked Sun Wen to help Jiang Nongqin because she wanted Sun Wen to give her some pointers.
Seeing that the "fireflies" on the surface of the river had entered their shooting range, Sun Wen ordered to use a rocket to test the waters.
