    "Boom!"

    "Boom!"

    "Boom!"

    In the middle of the night, the east bank of the Ganshui River sounded the sound of war drums again, and the east bank was noisy with people and horses.

    "People from the Far East are starting to toss again."

    "Mother, kill them one day and kill them all!"

    Facing the troops of the Far Eastern Army assembled on the east bank, the desert empire army on guard on the west bank has long been accustomed to it.

    Because these days and nights, the Far Eastern Army on the other side has been tossing, in fact, at most throwing a few stones at them, so they have become numb.

    Seeing the lively scene on the other side, the soldiers of the desert empire who stood guard at night took a look, and immediately chatted in whispers, and didn't bother to pay attention.

    Those officers nestled in the leeward place, wrapped in thick sheepskin jackets, and fell asleep soundly.

    The camps of the First Frontier Army and the White Feather Army not far from the river beach were also quiet.

    Although some sleeping soldiers were awakened, they quickly turned over and continued to sleep with their heads covered.

    Because there are security forces watching from the shore, and the people from the Far East are tossing and tossing every day, they are used to it and don't care.

    However, what they didn't know was that through repeated drills and buildups over the past few days, the Third Far East Field Army had completed its pre-combat preparations.

    And they estimated that the Field Seventh Army had penetrated to the enemy's rear, so a large-scale attack could be launched.

    The reason why they waited for so many days was because they were worried that the Seventh Field Army would not be in place, and the main force of the Desert Empire would run away by then.

    This is not the case now, as long as the Field Seventh Army blocks the desert empire's back route, then they will be sure to encircle and annihilate the desert empire troops in Daning Province.

    "My lord commander, my lord commander, the flag regiments of the Field Sixth Army are ready to attack!"

    "My lord, the Security Corps is ready to attack!"

    "My lord commander, the 21st Banner Battalion of the People's Army is ready for battle!"

    "Report, the trebuchet troops are ready!"

    "The Fifth Banner Battalion of Engineers is ready for battle! The army can cross the river at any time!"

    On the bank of the river, a famous general rushed to Liu Yidao, commander of the third field army, and Li Qiye, chief of the military department, to report the situation.

    Seeing that all the ministries were ready to attack, Li Qiye, chief of the Ministry of War, nodded slightly to Liu Yidao.

    "According to the predetermined plan, attack!"

    Liu Yidao, the commander of the third field army, looked serious, and gave the order to attack the assembled army.

    "The Commander has orders, attack!"

    The messengers conveyed the order to the river beach. On the icy river beach, there were more than 10,000 Far Eastern infantry and crossbowmen lying down densely.

    Although there are many torches near the camp not far away to attract the eyes of the other side, it is dark here.

    These more than 10,000 soldiers of the vanguard were crouched on the icy beach, wearing black cloaks, they blended into the surrounding environment like sculptures.

    In fact, many soldiers were already numb from the cold, but their strict military discipline kept them silent.

    "Set off!"

    Wang Hu, the deputy commander of the Sixth Field Army, led the team himself, and he patted the shoulder of the soldier next to him.

    The soldier lowered his voice and passed on the orders one by one. More than 10,000 soldiers of the Far Eastern Army who were lying on the beach got up together and rushed towards the boats in the river.

    They didn't have loud slogans or shouts of killing. Their movements were crisp and neat, and they exuded a murderous aura.

    They boarded the ferry boat gathered by the river as quickly as possible, and on the fishing boat, the soldiers of the engineer banner battalion who had already been waiting on the boat quickly rowed towards the opposite bank.

    Hundreds of ships were like arrows leaving the string, and under the cover of night, they galloped towards the west bank quickly.

    There were originally several stone bridges and wooden bridges on the Ganshui River, but with the gathering of armies from both sides, these bridges were all damaged.

    Now these hundreds of boats are collected by soldiers from the Far East in preparation for the army to cross the river.

    The first batch of thousands of soldiers boarded the boat, and they were getting closer and closer to the west bank with crossbows in hand.

    "What sound?"

    Although the east bank was full of noise, the sentries of the Desert Empire didn't care. The Far Eastern Army was willing to make trouble, so let them do it.

    But soon they heard the splashing of water nearby, which made the sentinels near the river beach vigilant.

    "It seems to be the sound of water splashing?"

    A sentry from the Desert Empire leaned his torch towards the dark river beach, trying to see clearly.

    But apart from the tidal flat near the shore, which can be clearly seen by the torchlight, nothing can be seen on the other side of the river.

    "It seems that a ship is coming!"

    A sentry from the desert empire listened attentively, and his expression changed immediately, and he was about to give a loud warning.

    "You're crazy!"

    However, he wanted to give a loud warning but was stopped by his companions.

    "It's late at night, if we lie about the military situation, we will lose our heads!"

    Another sentry from the Desert Empire looked at the patrols passing by in the distance and said in a low voice.

    "Then what should I do?"

    "Come on, let's take a closer look."

    Looking at the dark Ganshui River, the soldier of the desert empire summoned up his courage.

    "If the situation is not right, run back."

    A sentry pulled out the saber on his waist, held a torch with his companion and headed towards the river, trying to get closer to find out the situation before reporting.

    Seeing the desert empire sentinels holding torches approaching, the soldiers of the Far Eastern Army who had already arrived on the shore pulled the trigger decisively.

    Amid the whistling sound of arrows, the two sentinels of the desert empire holding torches were living targets. They were immediately pierced by the arrows, and their bodies fell limply on the river beach, and the torches also fell to the ground.

    "There is a situation!"

    The desert empire sentinels at a few posts not far from them heard the sound of arrows piercing the air, and also saw the torch that fell on the river beach.

    But before they could react, the howling arrows shot towards them, and they were quickly shot into hedgehogs.

    "Enemy attack!"

    "The people from the Far East are coming!"

    "Enemy attack!"

    A Desert Empire sentry who had been shot in the arm by an arrow also turned pale with fright, and roared at the top of his lungs while running.

    "What are you shouting about at night!"

    After the patrol team heard the voice on the river beach, they also complained dissatisfied.

    But the next moment their expressions changed, because they saw the dark Far East Army rushing up from the dark river beach like ghosts, quickly approaching them.

    Seeing these soldiers of the Far East Army rushing forward silently, the patrol team of the Desert Empire quickly sounded the gong of early warning.

    The ear-piercing sound of the gong immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding patrols and sentries, and they all looked in this direction.

    "Quick, quick, enemy attack!"

    The Desert Empire deployed a security force of 10,000 people by the river. When they heard the shouts of killing from the river beach, they also rushed towards the river beach to help.

    "Did you see that piece of torches, blast me with the trebuchet!"

    Seeing the hustle and bustle of torches on the west bank, the catapult troops deployed by the Far Eastern Army on the east bank were quickly ordered to strike.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
