    The sky is gray, the thick clouds are low, the banks of the Ganshui River are tense, and the war is about to break out.

    "My lord, the Far Eastern Army on the other side seems to be showing signs of attacking."

    Not long after dawn, Grand Marshal Ashnad, who was sleeping in the desert empire camp on the west bank of the Ganshui River, was awakened by General Ge Shuying.

    "what happened?"

    Generalissimo Asnard was drinking and carousing with the generals in the barracks last night. He was woken up at this moment, and his head was still a little groggy.

    "Master Marshal, the scouts are reporting that the Far Eastern Army on the other side is gathering." General Ge Shuying told the truth.

    "It's freezing cold, aren't these people from the Far East afraid of the cold? They're tossing around."

    The weather was bone-chillingly cold, and Generalissimo Asnard reluctantly crawled out of the warm blanket.

    Several beautiful women hurriedly sent up the battle armor and thick sheepskin coat to help him dress neatly.

    Soon, the well-dressed Grand Marshal Ashnad, accompanied by General Ge Shuying, rode his horse to the Ganshui River.

    They reined in their horses and looked towards the opposite bank. They saw crowds of people on the other bank, and a large number of soldiers of the Far Eastern Army were gathering under the shouts of officers.

    "Huh!"

    Just as Marshal Ashnad and General Ge Shuying were observing the enemy's situation, suddenly a stone bomb the size of a millstone rose into the air from the east bank and hit the west bank.

    "Protect Lord Marshal!"

    Seeing the huge stone bomb that suddenly hit, the soldiers of the Marshal's Guard were also shocked, and rushed forward to protect Marshal Ashnard and others.

    "Boom!"

    The stone bomb fell heavily more than 100 meters away from them. A desert empire patrol team just passing by couldn't dodge, and several people were smashed to pieces on the spot.

    After the stone bomb smashed several desert empire soldiers into the air, it bounced and rolled tens of meters away before coming to an embarrassing stop.

    Seeing the battered and mutilated patrol soldiers, Generalissimo Ashnad and General Ge Shuying's expressions were as gloomy as water.

    If they hadn't been lucky just now, they probably would have been hit by the hit, so Generalissimo Ashnad was in a very upset mood.

    "Master Marshal, they are calibrating their catapults. They probably want to launch an attack. We can't sit still."

    General Ge Shuying ignored Ashnad's gloomy face. The war was about to break out. He was worried that the Far Eastern army would suddenly launch an attack.

    "These damned Far Easterners don't stop in such a cold day!"

    Generalissimo Ashnad cursed dissatisfiedly, and then said murderously: "As long as they dare to attack, we will kill them all!"

    "Order the army to assemble immediately and prepare for the battle!"

    After Generalissimo Ashnad led the army to the banks of the Ganshui River, he has not won any battles.

    Now he wished that the Far East Army would take the initiative to attack, so that he could take the opportunity to kill more enemies and add to his merit list.

    After all, he was not promoted to the rank of Grand Marshal by virtue of actual combat exploits, but also because of the trust of Emperor Ashinayun.

    As a member of the Ashina family, he is a loyal follower of Emperor Ashinayun, so he is in charge of the elite White Feather Army, and was appointed as the frontline marshal, fully responsible for the frontline warfare.

    If the emperor hadn't told him to stand still and wait for the opportunity after the spring, he would have led his troops to kill the Ganshui River and occupy the entire Daning Province.

    Now that he hasn't fought, the army of the Far East Empire is about to move, which undoubtedly aroused the anger in the heart of Generalissimo Ashnad.

    Soon, there were endless horn sounds on the west bank of the Ganshui River, and the horn sounded in the ears of every Desert Empire soldier.

    "Assembled horns!"

    "Is the Far Eastern Empire going to attack?"

    "My saber has long wanted to drink blood!"

    "Come on, let me chop off a few more heads and go back, and I can get rewards like cattle and sheep!"

    After hearing the sound of the assembly horn, the soldiers of the Desert Empire also became excited, and the whole camp boiled up.

    They were neatly dressed, carrying sharp swords, assembled in front of their respective military tents, and then headed for the river beach.

    Groups of soldiers from the desert empire with high morale arrived at the river beach and began to line up under the order of the officer.

    theThe cavalry of the desert empire galloped freely, and the mud and snow splashed on the river beach, appearing extremely arrogant.

    On the east bank of the Ganshui River, the neat and orderly square formations looked solemn and solemn, the battle flags were fluttering, and there was a sharp and chilling atmosphere in the air.

    ?Compared to the well-organized formation of the Far East Army, the desert empire's military formation looks crooked, but every soldier of the desert empire is burly and powerful, with a look of rebellion in his eyes.

    For those desert people who lived on horseback from birth, they are as good at riding and shooting as those on the grassland.

    The harsh environment has also created their tenacity. Although their overall scale is not as good as that of the Far East, their individual combat effectiveness is very strong.

    "Their reaction speed is not slow."

    On a soil slope on the east bank of the Ganshui River, Li Qiye, Chief of the Ministry of War, and Liu Yidao, commander of the Third Field Army, stood side by side.

    When they saw the desert empire army rapidly forming on the opposite bank, they began to comment and chat in low voices.

    "That's it for today, withdraw troops and return to camp."

    After observing the situation on the other side for a while, Li Qiye and the others directly issued the order to withdraw the troops and return to the camp.

    After receiving orders, the units of the Far Eastern Army, which were arrayed on the east bank and prepared to attack, retreated back to the battalion in an orderly manner, and soon the brigade returned to the warm camp.

    "what happened?"

    "Why did they withdraw their troops?"

    Seeing that the Far Eastern Army, which was ready to attack, suddenly withdrew its troops and returned to the camp, the Marshal Ashnad of the Desert Empire, who was standing on the river beach blowing the cold wind, was also full of confusion.

    "They saw that we were strong and strong, so they probably gave up their attack."

    General Ge Shuying also looked away from the other side and made his own analysis and judgment.

    "Damn Far Easterners!"

    "Wait for me to turn around and kill them across the river, and use their heads as chamber pots!"

    Seeing that the other bank would soon become empty, Ashnad cursed in extreme dissatisfaction.

    "Master Marshal, should we take the opportunity to attack?"

    Seeing that the Far Eastern Army had withdrawn their troops and returned to camp, but they were still blowing cold wind on the river beach, General Su Geshi rode his horse to Marshal Ashnad and asked for instructions loudly.

    "Attack what a fart, withdraw troops and return to camp!"

    ? Seeing General Su Geshi, who was full of fighting spirit, Marshal Ashnad said a word angrily, and rode back to the camp.

    "General, this"

    The inexplicable general Su Geshi cast his eyes on the general Ge Shuying next to him.

    "We lack ferries. If we want to attack, we have to wait until the river freezes. Let's withdraw our troops and return to camp." Ge Shuying sighed.

    All the ferries have been collected by the Far Eastern Army to the east bank, and it is a large-scale war to cross the river to attack, and they don't have that strong transportation capacity yet.

    What's more, the emperor has already ordered them to come down. They only need to wait until the beginning of spring. After the coalition forces launch an offensive, the Far East Army on the other side may withdraw without a fight.

    So they don't need to do the thankless offensive. Now they just need to wait by the river and hold the west bank of the river.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
