"Nalan Ye, I... have not found the reinforcements you mentioned."
When I heard what Ling Ying said, I was stunned. How could I not have noticed it?!
"Elder Ling, could it be that you were lazy and didn't investigate carefully?"
I gritted my teeth and couldn't help but ask. Ling Ying is Dou Emperor after all. Although he was temporarily taking orders from me, he definitely didn't care in his heart and would be lazy if he couldn't say it.
If I had known this, I should have let Little Fairy Doctor go. But I felt sorry for Little Fairy Doctor just now and didn't want her to be tired...
"I flew seventy miles downstream of Qianqi Ferry, and then flew two hundred miles upstream."
Ling Ying seemed to know what I was thinking. He snorted dissatisfied, flicked his sleeves and said:
"If the reinforcements you are talking about really exist, there is no way for thousands of soldiers to hide. There is no way I can't find them."
"Of course, if you don't believe me, you can ask Little Girl to take a look."
Little Fairy Doctor turned his head to look at me and said hesitantly, "Nalan Ye, you..."
I waved my hand and said nothing more. Since Ling Ying said so, then there probably really are no Cloudrise Empire reinforcements in this area.
As for places further away?
The army is not Dou Huang expert, and its marching speed is not very fast. Even if there are Cloudrise Empire reinforcements further away, it will take a day or two to reach here.
By that time, the day lilies were cold!
I frowned and stared down at the ground. So, am I really thinking wrong?
Isn't that what Chu Yun Rebels's plan is?
I scratched my head in distress and sighed, no matter what, this partial division plan can be scrapped.
There is no trace of the so-called "reinforcements", so how can they ambush them?
I entered the tent and spoke to the Snake-People Commandant. Under the strange looks of all the Snake-People generals, I ran out of the tent feeling a little disappointed.
Although Battlefield Situation is subject to rapid changes, temporary abandonment and changes in combat plans are common in the military, I still feel a little uncomfortable.
Especially when I stood in front of Qi Lin again, this feeling of discomfort seemed to have suddenly increased a hundred times!
She was wearing Scarlet Dragon Scale Light Armor and looked me up and down with her eyes, as if two poisonous snakes were slithering around my body, which made me feel uncomfortable for a while.
But it's hard for me to have an attack, especially when I think of what I said about her...
Compared to Qi Lin, it seems that I am the one who is not suitable to lead the army.
Previously, I said that Qian City should not be attacked directly, but Le City should be attacked first, but then Qi Lin directly attacked Qian City overnight - even though it was Chu Yun Rebels who abandoned the defense on his own initiative.
If Chu Yun Rebels sticks to Qian City, I think my approach is definitely safer. But in reality, there is no if...
It was like this again today. I vowed to give her an analysis, but the result was wrong again - there were no reinforcements at all. It was purely because I thought too much.
Combining these two things together, and meeting Qi Lin, who is leading the army for the first time, I don't know where to put my face...
Little Fairy Doctor simply followed me and did not laugh at me. She just followed me silently, protecting me and maintaining my dignity in front of Qi Lin so that she did not dare to laugh at me.
"Although your idea is wrong, the other party does not intend to land directly, but has other plans."
Qi Lin looked away from me, raised his hand and pointed at the vast fleet of ships on the vast water in front of him, and said with a hint of suspicion in his voice:
"They have not moved forward for some time, but have been staying on the water, three miles away from the river bank..."
"I don't know what they want to do?"
Her face was full of confusion, and she became a little irritated. The green snake's tail began to slap the ground, crushing the nearby flowers and plants into a puddle of juice, and swept away the soil and gravel.
I was also wondering, since they have no reinforcements at all and have no intention of attacking in the east or west. So why are they wandering around on the north bank instead of guarding the south bank of Qishui River?
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."
The war drums that the fleet had finally stopped started to sound. Among the twenty thousand Snake-People who were shocked to come to battle, a group of generals quickly exclaimed and scolded the soldiers to cheer up, hold their swords, guns and shields tightly, and prepare for battle!
But no one expected that Chu Yun Rebels had been beating the drums of attack for a long time, but the fleet's position did not advance even half a step, and it just kept patrolling on the water.
I felt agitated as I was being beaten, and I wanted to make Ling Ying take action to give them a good look. But I was worried that they had some tricks up their sleeves, so I didn't dare to let Ling Ying move even slightly, so I had to listen to them beat the drums in frustration.
After beating for a while, probably because the drummer was tired, the sound of the drums subsided. At this time, the fleet finally made some movement, and the flagship of Shu Youdaguo slowly came forward from the protection of a group of ships. On the bow of the ship, stood a heavy-armored general. He held a scroll in his hand and started to read Dou Qi loudly.
I listened carefully and found that it was just an ordinary payment document. First, it denounced Snake-People Tribe, and then ordered Snake-People Tribe to quickly withdraw from the Gamma Empire, otherwise the army would come and Snake-People Tribe would be wiped out.
And then... then, the mighty fleet turned back directly to South Bank.
Looking at the fleet of ships drifting away, I was a little confused for a moment. They made such a big fuss just to read out a useless payment document?
If this is the case, just send a small boat to read it. Why waste so much manpower and material resources?
At this time, I still couldn't figure out what the other party wanted, but they really retreated, so Snake-People Tribe had no choice but to retreat.
But in the evening, I vaguely understood the other party's plan. Because along with the golden sunset, South Bank another fleet of ships approached, and the same sound of war drums filled the sky.
But the thunder was loud, the raindrops were light, and the war drums were beating for a long time, but they still lingered on the water and did not reach the shore.
However, their goal was achieved. There were more than 73,000 people in the entire Snake-People camp, and they all gathered together in a chaotic situation. They were still waiting for the arrays that should be formed, and the vigilance that should be there.
This is clearly...
"Fatigue Warfare!"
I looked at the fleet of boats lingering on the river like wild dogs, and gritted my teeth and said these four words.
Naturally, the opponent will not really rush ashore to fight with the Snake-People army, but it is impossible for Snake-People not to guard against it. Because if you really do not defend yourself, the opponent may really rush ashore...
But it's not enough to defend all the time. It consumes too much energy of the Snake-People soldiers. And in this way, the Snake-People army can't cut down trees and build ships with peace of mind.
However, the Snake-People army cannot attack because they have no ships. In this war, the Snake-People army has fallen into a passive position...
There are enough ships on the opposite side and they have the initiative to attack. Even in the middle of the night, they can beat gongs and drums to scare Snake-People.
And even though the Snake-People army knew that the other side was threatening people, they still had to get up from their sleep and form defensive formations...
