Episode 10 Chapter 443

The first batch of soldiers of the Hundred Battles Army boarded a simple raft to cross the latest chapter of Zhenjiang. No matter how turbulent the water was, the progress was still very smooth at the beginning.

There were no ambushes of the Mo Kingdom on the opposite side, nor were there any fortifications. The Hundred Battles Army did not suffer any attacks during the crossing of the river. Soon, they successfully crossed the center of the river and quickly moved to the opposite bank.

Until this time, there was no enemy army on the opposite side, nor was there any counterattack. Tang Yin and others who were watching were relieved. It seemed that the investigation of the Sky Eye and the Ground Network was correct. The Mo Army was indeed unprepared in the backwater bay.

But then the situation suddenly changed. On the originally calm river surface, I don’t know where the raft first made a muffled bang, followed by screams and the sound of soldiers falling into the water.

Then, there were continuous muffled bangs, and the rafts on the river were in chaos. The soldiers of the Hundred Battles Army on the rafts screamed and fell into the water like dumplings. But what was even more strange was that the Mo Jun did not appear on the other side from beginning to end, and no attack was seen.

Tang Yin, who was watching, suddenly changed his expression. He rushed to the shore, his eyes glowed green, and he looked at the other side with all his strength, but he did not see the shadow of Mo Jun. Mo Jun did not appear, but how did his raft get attacked?

Not to mention that Tang Yin was puzzled, the other generals were also confused. They were on the shore, feeling a little worse, and the soldiers of the Hundred Battles Army who were on the river at this time were already miserable.

The raft was suddenly hit when it was moving forward. Before people could figure out what was going on, the bottom of the raft had been pierced by a thick wooden stake with a sharp tip on the top.

These wooden stakes were cleverly designed, deeply fixed to the bottom of the river, with the sharpened tops hidden below the surface. On the surface, the river looked ordinary, calm, and nothing unusual. But once a boat approached, it would hit the sharp edge of the wooden stakes. The rafts that Feng Jun had hastily built were very simple, just a few logs tied together by hemp ropes. When pierced by the wooden stakes, it would not be as simple as leaking, but the hemp ropes would be forcibly squeezed and broken, causing the logs that made up the raft to scatter. In this way, the soldiers who were originally standing on it could be imagined.

As more and more rafts collided head-on with the wooden piles hidden under the river, more and more soldiers of the Feng Army fell into the water. Even though they were wearing air bags, most of the soldiers who fell into the water were still washed away by the current. What was even more fatal was that the scattered logs became deadly weapons under the impact of the current. Many soldiers who fell into the water struggled to float out of the river, and their heads were hit by the logs floating downstream. Some were knocked unconscious on the spot, and some had their skulls smashed directly.

For a while, the Feng Army on the river was like a pot of boiling water, with screams, cries, and cries for help.

Nie Ze cried out inwardly that it was not good, and hurriedly said to Tang Yin: "My lord, there is an ambush on the river, we must withdraw our troops immediately!"

Tang Yin looked around at the chaos on the river, clenched his fists, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Order, withdraw the troops!"

Dang, dang, dang-the sound of the gong on the shore was deafening. When the soldiers of the Hundred Battles Army on the river heard the sound of the gong, they did not even hesitate, and immediately changed the rear team to the front team, and all retreated back.

During the retreat, the soldiers of the Hundred Battles Army also tried their best to rescue their comrades who fell into the water, but only a small number of them were rescued, and most of the soldiers who fell into the water could not be seen.

After the rafts reached the shore one after another, the number of people was counted again. The 50,000 soldiers of the Hundred Battles Army were reduced by one-tenth, and more than 5,000 people were swallowed up in the river.

Without even seeing the shadow of the enemy, more than 5,000 brothers who were alive and kicking were gone, which made everyone present feel angry.

Nie Ze patiently asked the soldiers what happened. A soldier who fell into the water and was rescued explained to Nie Ze that there were a large number of wooden stakes arranged under the river, like chevaux de frise. No matter whether it was a boat or a raft, as long as it passed by, it would inevitably be hit by the sharp edges of the wooden stakes. Therefore, it was impossible to cross the river at this place. If you force the river, it will only cause the boat to be destroyed and people to die.

After listening to the soldiers' explanation, Nie Ze reported the situation to Tang Yin and the generals truthfully.

It was not until now that people understood why the Mo army on the other side had such a tight defense, but only missed the backwater bay. It was not that the Mo army was negligent, but that they had already made a perfect defense here, and there was no need to send people to garrison.

At this time, Baili Tu Ke became excited. At the beginning, he was the only one who opposed crossing the river at the backwater bay. Now the facts have proved that it is indeed not feasible, and it has also cost the lives of 5,000 soldiers in vain. How could he miss this opportunity to show himself?

He coughed softly and said to the generals around him: "What do you think? I said at the beginning that this might be a trap set up by the Mo army. We should have strictly interrogated the mayor of Yingjiang Town, but you didn't listen. Now that this has happened, it's too late to regret it!"

It was not only the generals who insisted on using Huishui Bay to cross the river, but also Tang Yin. Now the more he showed himself, the more he mocked Tang Yin's incompetence.

Hearing his words, Tang Yin's eyes were about to spit fire. He stared at him straight, his body tense.

Even if Baili Tu could no longer read people's expressions, he could still feel the powerful spiritual pressure emanating from Tang Yin. He shuddered and suddenly realized that he had also dragged the Wind King into the fun by mocking the generals. He hurried forward, waved his hand and said, "Your Highness, the Wind King, I have no intention of mocking you, but... I just feel sorry for the soldiers who died..."

"I should feel sorry for those brothers, but you can't pretend to be so." As he spoke, he turned his head and shouted, "Asan, Asi!"

"I'm here!" Asan and Asi had been with Tang Yin for so long, and they rarely heard him roar. The two of them rushed forward with big strides and saluted.

Baili Tu thought Tang Yin was going to deal with him, and his face turned pale with fear. He subconsciously retreated again and again, and at the same time raised his hand and quietly grasped the hilt of his sword. .
