I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world

By evening, Shen Changgong, with his infantry corps and baggage camp, finally arrived at the foot of Beimang Mountain.

This is a mountainous area, and soldiers can be hidden under the valleys, so there is no need to send people climbing the mountains.

We were still setting up camp when we saw Zhang Han coming over with his men, smiling. He shouted and asked the supply battalion to free up the vehicles for him so that he could take down all the spoils.

Then he ran to Shen Changgong and asked for credit with a smile,

"Your Majesty, what good things do you think are on this mountain?"

Shen Changgong was startled when he heard this and asked tentatively,

"Burial objects?"

"Huh? How did you know?"

Shen Changgong: ...

This is a fucking imperial tomb. What good things can there be besides burial objects?

Corpse?

"How much did you gain this time?"

"It's incalculable. So much gold, silver, and treasure. Damn, they all went to the dead. The dead can't spend money. I really don't understand why these people buried such precious things. Are they waiting to dig them out and spend them when the country is about to fall?"

At this point, Zhang Han frowned and laughed softly,

"Your Majesty, our Zhennan Army has made such a great contribution this time. Would you like to reward us?"

Shen Changgong also laughed and whispered,

"Okay, but before you give out the rewards, do you want to call every soldier of the Zhennan Army over and search them?"

"Uh... We in the Zhennan Army are loyal to our country and don't seek rewards. Even if the prince gives it to me, I can't accept it. Hahaha, well, I have to get busy first." Zhang Han ran away with an awkward smile, not daring to stay for a moment.

Are you kidding? If the Zhennan Army searches him, his head will be chopped off.

The army rested in the mountains and did not dare to make a fire. They ate dry food and even spoke in low voices.

After dinner, as soon as it got dark, they put out all the lights and went to bed.

Afraid of being discovered by the enemy.

……

The next morning, the Yan army ate some dry food again, and then left the tents, food, and other supplies to the baggage camp, and told them to set off again at noon.

Afterwards, the main army marched eastward with only dry food, water bags and weapons.

The scouts along the way began to patrol and sweep, shooting and killing any enemy scouts they encountered one by one.

After the Tianyu Army walked twenty miles, they were only twenty miles away from the enemy camp.

Behind him, there came the thundering sound of horse hooves of 50,000 Zhennan troops.

Zhang Han led the Zhennan Army, passed by the Tianyu Army, and quickly rushed towards the Wei Army’s riverside camp.

……

Wei army’s riverside camp.

Head coach Zhang De'an sat in the tent, looking at the sand table in front of him and analyzing the situation.

"General, can our 200,000 men stop the Yan army's advance southward?"

A general asked the commander Zhang De'an with some concern.

Zhang De'an sneered, pointed his stick at the bank of Luoshui River and said,

"Look, this area of ​​more than ten miles is our defense zone. We have catapults and archers there, which can strike the enemy army from a distance. This is our second line of defense.

We still have warships cruising in the river, which is our first line of defense.

There are no ships within a radius of 100 miles, and the enemy's main force is all under the surveillance of our warships. Even if they change their location and take a longer detour across the river, our army can discover them in time and then change their defense location.

The west side of Luoshui is in Qin State, leading all the way to the East China Sea. What would be the point of them going around to the East China Sea?

If they go through Qin State, what does it have to do with us?

The Yan army also knew this, so they did not take a detour."

The general nodded and said,

"This leaves the enemy with only one option: to force a bridge and cross the river to attack us."

Zhang De'an looked at him with satisfaction and said,

"That's absolutely right. The Yan army is indeed building a floating bridge right now.

But what's the use?

If his people dared to go into the water to build the bridge, our ships would immediately shoot them down with arrows. How many people could they get onto a newly built bridge? And how many could our ships kill?

Even if our ship is driven away, we still have catapults on the shore.

The Yan army's bridge is a fixed target. If the catapults cannot hit this fixed target, I will kill their entire battalion.

Even if they come right in front of us, we still have trenches, arrow arrays, and this indestructible camp. As long as we block their bridge, how many of them can come up?

Our army will win this battle!

The only hope for the Yan army is to wait until winter and for the river to freeze, but our army can also break the ice!"

"The Marshal is truly brilliant!"

"The three lines of defense are impregnable. Zhang Shuai is truly the greatest coach of all time."

"Yes, the Yan army, which was unstoppable in the world, was easily stopped by our commander-in-chief with just a few lines of defense. They couldn't move south even a single step. You are worthy of being Commander Zhang!"

Zhang De'an laughed heartily and stretched out his hand to ask them to be more humble.

But Zhang De'an does have the capital to be immodest.

"The Yan army will definitely not be able to get through unless they can fly!"

Zhang De'an said fiercely.

Could the Yan army fly? Of course they could, but only a few hot air balloons could carry people into space. Even if they were equipped with parachutes and could jump out, it would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, and would be of little use.

So this time, Zhang De'an is sure to win!

However, at this moment, a scout on horseback ran madly to the door of the tent, crawled in, and shouted,

"General! Something terrible has happened! I was just on patrol fifteen miles away when I ran into the Yan army. They have over a hundred thousand soldiers, including cavalry and infantry. They are so numerous that you can't see the end of them. They are about to attack our camp!"

This piece of news slapped Zhang De'an in the face.

Zhang De'an's face suddenly darkened and he shouted angrily,

"Nonsense! The Yan army is still building a bridge on the other side. How did they get here? Did they fly here?"

Drag this thief who lied about military intelligence out and execute him!"

"General, I wouldn't dare lie about military intelligence even if I had ten guts. Go and see! The Yan army has reached our doorstep!"

"Hmph, I'll go check it out right now. If you lie about military intelligence, I'll skin you alive!"

After saying that, Zhang De'an led the generals and quickly came out of the tent, climbed up to the observation tower, and looked to the west.

It didn't matter what he saw, Zhang De'an was stunned immediately.

On the western horizon, countless Yan cavalry appeared and galloped towards this side in a mighty force.

The fields that were originally covered with yellow wheat stubble were dyed black at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A black torrent, as if coming from the sky, was about to swallow them all.

"Deploy! Deploy! All troops, listen up! Close the gates and deploy quickly!"

Zhang Dean roared as if he was frightened out of his wits.

"Where did the 100,000-man army come from? 100,000-man army?!"
