Three days later in the evening, our 60,000-strong army finally arrived at Qian City.
This city is just an ordinary Tier Three Main City, not large in scale. But among its Southern Region, there is a Vast River, and the water surface is so wide that it is more than thirty miles long!
Standing by the North Bank river and looking southward, under the setting sun, I can only see boundless sparkling waves filling the entire field of vision, becoming the same color as the golden sky, and South Bank cannot be seen at all.
Only when you climb Corner Tower on top of the Qian City wall, and then look south, can you vaguely see Land of South Bank, and a city that echoes "Qian City" in the distance - Qi City.
But no one can tell whether Qianqi Ferry is named after these two cities, or whether these two cities are named after Qianqi Ferry.
"What a wide river!"
Standing next to me, Qi Lin looked at the vast "Qi River" and couldn't help exclaiming, sighing, "I'm afraid this river is not smaller than Gorgon River, right?"
Gorgon River is the river next to Snake-People Holy City and the largest river in Tagor Desert. It originates from the Monster Mountain Range Northern Region and Mountain Peak.
But after all, it passes through the desert, and the runoff volume of the Gorgon River is not very large. It is at most the same as the Qi River in front of us.
But Chuyun Empire, the largest river is "Red River". Compared with natural resources, Tagor Desert is too barren.
But now, I hope the "Qi River" in front of me becomes smaller.
I smiled bitterly, this Qian City was not captured by Snake-People three thousand Xing Army, but the Qian City defenders took the initiative to abandon the city when they saw the Snake-People army approaching.
The difference is naturally huge. If the defenders take the initiative to abandon the defense, they will have enough time to make some preparations before abandoning the defense.
For example, they burned down the entire city. When I looked down, there were only charred ruins left in the city, and not a single complete house - it could be said that the city was "walled". The snake-man army could only set up tents outside the city.
At the same time, the defenders also raided all the small towns and villages near Qian City and burned all the door panels and wooden boards - Qi River North Bank not a single board was left.
Also burnt down were all the docks of North Bank. The ships and boatmen were also collected by the defenders into South Bank.
In this case, if the Snake-People army wants to cross the river, they can only cut down trees and build boats first.
But how much time does this take?
I couldn't help but look at Ling Ying in the corner, and asked carefully, "Elder Ling, look, is there any way you can help the Snake-People army quickly cross Qi River?"
Ling Ying was stunned for a moment before reacting. He rolled his eyes angrily and said, "What can I do?"
"I am Dou Emperor, not Dou God!"
"Can you still expect me to wave my hand and evaporate, freeze, or redirect Qi River?"
Okay, I sighed. With Ling Ying's cultivation, of course he can't do such a thing. What's more, he is still Dark Attribute... If Hai Bodong were here, could he temporarily freeze a section of the water, connect the north and south banks of the Qi River, and let Snake-People's army cross the river?
He once froze a city!
However, that city is just a Tier Three Main City, which is only four miles from east to west and three miles from north to south. However, the Qi River in front of us is thirty miles wide. The two are not in the same series at all...
What's more, the city is dead, but Qi River can flow. Water up to thirty miles wide flows together. How huge is this kinetic energy?
I'm afraid it will directly wash away the ice on the water surface...
I kept thinking about the second Ri Tian ming, but I couldn't think of any good solution. Qi Lin There was no other way, so I sent a large number of Snake-People soldiers to cut down trees and prepare to build ships.
But Chu Yun Rebels on the opposite side did not wait for Snake-People to build a boat. They sent a small team of soldiers to cross the river by boat and attack Snake-People who was cutting down trees.
At first, Snake-People was caught off guard and did not expect Chu Yun Rebels to take the initiative to cross the river. These Snake-People were scattered in the mountain forests due to felling of trees, but Chu Yun Rebels were in groups.
As soon as the battle broke out, the Snake-People soldiers were defeated by the hordes of Chu Yun Rebels, and hundreds of them were killed easily.
The Snake-People soldiers further away panicked and fled. At the same time, the Snake-People troops in the camp also heard the news and dispatched. But by the time the Snake-People brigade was assembled and ready to counterattack, Chu Yun Rebels had already retreated to the river and left by boat.
Snake-People had no ship and could not pursue him. He could only vent his anger by shooting arrows and throwing spears at the incoming Chu Yun Rebels.
Qi Lin was in the Central Army's big tent. Hearing the report, his little face turned red with anger. He couldn't help but slap the table and cursed:
"Despicable Human Race, you dare to sneak attack on me. When I break into Qi City, I will kill all of you Dog Head!"
But I shook my head and attacked Qi City? How to attack Qi River, which is more than 30 miles wide and natural barrier?
"Qi Lin Leader, let's consolidate North Bank's defense line first."
I lowered my head and looked at the sand table on the table. Snake-People are not wild beasts. They are also extremely smart. Naturally, there are craftsmen accompanying this 100,000-strong army.
The lifelike sand table in front of you is newly made by craftsmen, covering the north and south sides of Qianqi Ferry.
"The view above the Qi River is wide. Just one Scouts can keep an eye on the water for miles. The reason for today's situation is that the defense is too lax."
No, it's not that we are slack, not at all! This means that the defenders on the opposite side only need to take a short detour and reach the shore easily.
I immediately discussed with Qi Lin and arranged a large number of Scouts on the river bank along the way. At the same time, when Snake-People entered the mountain forest to cut down trees, an army must also be arranged outside the mountain forest to protect it.
Following this arrangement, in the next two days, Chu Yun Rebels sent a small army to sneak attack, but they were unable to succeed at all. The ship was discovered by Snake-People Scouts while it was far away on the water.
Chu Yun Rebels was unwilling to do so, and even organized two to three hundred soldiers to forcibly land ashore, but they were all blocked by the Snake-People reinforcements that arrived in time. After more than ten people were killed and injured, they had no choice but to escape back to South Bank by boat.
On the fourth day, it was a calm day. Chu Yun Rebels did not try to land, but sent a small boat to spy on North Bank from a distance.
That's right, Qi City defends the river and occupies a favorable location. How could it give up its advantage and take the initiative to attack Snake-People's army?
At most, it was just a sneak attack because Snake-People was unprepared. Now that Snake-People's defense was strengthened, they couldn't benefit from it, so they gave up.
It seems that the real decisive battle will not begin until Snake-People crosses the river.
Staring at the vast river, I frowned. Chu Yun Rebels is not a fool. They will definitely send reinforcements to Qi City, and they will also build and reinforce Qi City's defenses.
But I'm not worried about whether I can win this battle.
The most difficult part of the landing battle is "landing on the beach" - seizing a position on the other side of the river so that subsequent reinforcements, ordnance, and baggage can land smoothly.
I have two Dou Emperors, Ling Ying and Little Fairy Doctor, plus the first batch of Snake-People troops crossing the river, so it is easy to capture a position.
But having said that, it will still take a lot of time to break through Qi City, and the situation in the Gamma Empire is getting more and more serious.
But at this time, I did not expect that the decisive battle would suddenly start on the fifth day, and it would be started by Chu Yun Rebels.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
In the early morning, when the sky was still bright, there was the sound of war drums above Qi River!
The slanting moon in the sky has not yet completely set, and the lights on Qianqi Ferry Crossing, where the water flow is gentle, are brightly lit.
Hundreds of ships came from the Qi River South Bank to the Qi River North Bank. Among them were the tall Tower Ship, which carried hundreds of people; there were also the flexible Small Skiff; and the Mengchong, which was like a heavy knight and was good at assault...
The boat travels thousands of miles, but the flag covers the sky!
