Seeing that he had fallen into a trap, Gao Hang started to carefully prepare an ambush.
He first borrowed a cavalry from Shao Fang, a total of 120,000 of them, all lying in ambush in the dense forest five miles away from Lin Manor. In addition, he borrowed another hundred thousand foot soldiers, this infantry was not used to deal with the enemy troops, but was used to ambush and ambush Enemy's Camp.
From Gao Hang's point of view, if they wanted to fight, they had to fight a big battle, and if they wanted to win, they had to win a big battle.
He played the same trick again and prepared to use his two-pronged approach, using his cavalry to deal with the enemy crossing the river, and only use his own side's ships to transport the infantry to the other side. This time, he did not sneak an attack only with Feng Country Navy, but also with Allied Army of Feng Country And Yu Country's main camp.
Once he succeeded in taking them, and burn down the food in the Enemy's Camp, then he would have no choice but to retreat. At that time, not only would he solve the problem of the city, he could even take the opportunity to retaliate against the enemy and take back the lost land.
Perhaps because the first time he won was too easy, he practically did not waste any effort to achieve a great victory. At this time, Gao Hang already had the mentality of a proud soldier, in his eyes, Allied Army of Feng Country And Yu Country didn't seem to be anything to fear.
Allied Army of Feng Country And Yu Country and Mo Army were the deployment of troops on both sides, and each of them had their own strategy and arrangements.
Of course, these were all just used as a cover. Most importantly, they still had to wait for the first batch of ships to be completed, so that they could accumulate as many ships as possible, and be able to transport more soldiers to the other side. This was because there were so many of them.
Due to these reasons, even though the main force of the Allied Army of Feng Country And Yu Country had already been secretly gathered at the other side of the Lin Manor, they did not immediately take action. At the same time, the scouts at the Mo Country also frequently reported back to the Mo Army.
Time passed day by day, yet there was still no movement from the Crossing River of Allied Army of Feng Country And Yu Country. This made the people from the Mo Army side start to suspect. It had to be known that the longer the war dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for the Allied Army of Feng Country And Yu Country. Right now, the Eastern Ocean navy master was already close to the exit of the Zhenjiang, so once he entered the Zhenjiang, he would reach the capital in less than twenty days. At that time, it would be even more difficult for Allied Army of Feng Country And Yu Country to beat the Zhenjiang.
According to the spies' reports, the main camp of Allied Army of Feng Country And Yu Country was currently building ships in full display. If there was a mission, they would ask Gao Hang to build ships on such a large scale with the help of Allied Army of Feng Country And Yu Country, making it seem like they were going to fight their own forces in a direct battle.
On the other hand, Gao Hang did not think so. Firstly, he thought that the enemies did not have the strength and courage to fight them head on, and secondly, even if the enemies wanted to fight in a frontal confrontation without any preparation, they had to secretly build a boat, in order to achieve a miraculous victory. There was only one possibility, the creation of the ship was just an illusion to confuse their own side, the real situation was probably secretly rushing the raft, to use it to sneak across Zhenjiang.
He did not listen to the warning given by his Generals, and continued to focus his energy on the area around Lin Manor. In this period of time, he had mainly studied how to attack the knights on his side when the Allied Army of Feng Country And Yu Country landed.
He was, after all, the commander of the water army, not the commander of the land forces. It would take quite a bit of time and effort for him to study how to use the cavalry, and he would have to rely on the cavalry general to teach him a little.
A talented and conceited person like Gao Hang would be able to crush his enemy to death in one go the moment he took the right step and built up an advantage, not giving the enemy any breathing space. But at the same time, if he made the wrong step, then everything else would be wrong and there would be no chance to escape.
At this time, the situation with regards to Mo Army had already relaxed a lot. The Eastern Ocean Water Masters would arrive in a few days, and their own strength would increase further, but now, it was Gao Hang who had started to become anxious, because he was worried that the Allied Army of Feng Country And Yu Country had not crossed the river yet, and if the opponent did not move, it would be difficult for him to take action either. By the time the Eastern Ocean Water Masters arrived, his own series of plans would have all gone down the drain.
Water masters from the Eastern Ocean were getting closer and closer to Modu, leaving their side with less and less time to do so. From the looks of it, Lin Manor battle would be their last battle, and victory would mean the death of their side's Mo Country.
But when the first ships would be built was not something he could decide by his will. It all depended on the progress of the craftsmen and the workers. Now, they were built day and night, and their progress couldn't be any faster.
Time passed second by second in this situation where both sides were waiting for each other.
After five days, Allied Army of Feng Country And Yu Country's first batch of ships was finally completed and launched. In such a long time, with tens of thousands of men, there were only thirty of them.
But to Allied Army of Feng Country And Yu Country, thirty ships were too precious. That way, they would have an extra ten to twenty thousand people to transport them, allowing their side to stand firm once they had successfully landed.
Although the first batch of ships was complete, Allied Army of Feng Country And Yu Country did not stop there and continued to build with great fanfare, but in the dark, the assault plan was already under way.
In these past few days, Tang Yin and the generals under his command had researched the plan multiple times, and they were exceptionally proficient at carrying it out now.
Under Tang Yin's arrangements, the Ninth Army and the hundred thousand Battle-tested Army would stay in the main camp. The Ninth Army's transport burden was too great, wanting to cross the river in the middle of a battle between the two armies was too unrealistic, so the mission of landing on the other side with the ship landed on Battle-tested Army.
Letting the Battle-tested Army take the risk was not because Tang Yin was using the Generals And Soldiers of Battle-tested Army as cannon fodder, but was something that was determined based on the characteristics of the Battle-tested Army.
In Tang Yin's opinion, it was unknown whether or not their own warships could successfully transport their soldiers to the other side. As for the logistics supplies, it would be impossible to guarantee, once they landed on the other side, the rest of the battle would be entirely dependent on their soldiers, whether or not they would be able to take over the enemy's camp would all depend on their own abilities. In such a difficult situation, most likely only the Generals And Soldiers of Battle-tested Army would be able to do it.
Originally, Tang Yin had not planned to go along with Battle-tested Army, as they were fighting in the water after all. For a landlubber like him, he would not be considered as his superior. However, right before the mission, he changed his mind and decided to stay in the camp to board the ship with Generals And Soldiers of Battle-tested Army.
His temporary change in formation frightened the generals quite a bit. Everyone tried to persuade him, but Tang Yin did not listen to anyone and gave the authority to lead the army to Xiao Muqing and Qing Yu.
If Tang Yin was stubborn, the others would have no choice but to obey. In the end, they could only obey. Following Tang Yin were Battle-tested Army Commander-in-Chief Nie Ze, General Shangguan Yuan, Jiang Fan and Cheng Jin.
As for Xiao Muqing and Qing Yu, the generals led the two armies and rushed to the secret gathering place on the other side of the Lin Manor during the night. By the time they arrived, it was already the latter half of the night, so Xiao Muqing immediately gave the order for the soldiers to drag all the rafts he had created into the river, and to fix the Straw Man s he had prepared beforehand onto the rafts.
The initial period of waiting was too long, and the Allied Army of Feng Country And Yu Country had already done the necessary preparations. The Straw Man s, nails and tied up were all placed into proper places on the raft, and seeing that they were almost done with their preparations, Xiao Muqing sent a group of elite soldiers to swim secretly to the other side of the river using his leather bag.1
This group of elites only had fifty people, and their mission was to settle the Mo Army sentry posts near the Lin Manor s. Even if the stowaway on their side was fake, they still had to do enough foreplay, otherwise how could they manage to confuse Mo Army.
This group of fifty people, which consisted of Feng Army s, took off their armor and only relied on the relatively tight and light sides. Using their pockets as a base, they silently snuck towards the other side.
It could be said that just as this Feng Army squad entered the water, before they even swam halfway, they were discovered by the Mo Army scouts on the shore, and the first thing they did was to spread the information to the Zhenjiang Navy camp.
At this time, Gao Hang had already fallen asleep. When the soldiers below reported the news to him, Gao Hang who was still sleeping soundly suddenly sat up from the bed, he blinked his eyes, and was stunned for a few seconds. Then, with a wave of his hand, he pulled the soldiers in front of him, and asked: "Where did the news come from?"
Not understanding why the General Bai had such an intense reaction, the soldier stammered, "Retreat ? Reporting to the general, it was ? It's the scouts from the Lin Manor that have returned the news! "
"Quick, show it to me." Gao Hang stood up, putting on his clothes, he asked the guard anxiously.
The soldier immediately passed the slip of paper to Gao Hang. The latter took it and unfurled it, his face beaming with joy, and said: "The heavens are on my side, the enemy has finally moved!"
As he spoke, he formed a group with the slip of paper and threw it away. He then said to the soldiers, "Send for my generals, gather all the generals!"
"Yes!" "General!" The soldier complied, turned around and ran out. When the Mo Army guards heard the news, they simply did not enter their Central Army Tent at all. Just as they walked out of the tent, they saw Gao Hang riding on his horse, dressed in his military attire.
When everyone was almost there, Gao Hang sternly said: "The crossing of the river by the enemy army is about to start, I will have to personally go to the Lin Manor to supervise the battle, you will have to stay in the camp to wait for the general to attack, the moment the order to attack reaches the general level, other than the Eighth and Ninth Regiment to guard the camp, the rest of the Generals And Soldiers will bring the infantry brothers to attack the Enemy's Camp. Once the Enemy's Camp is over, no matter what we do, we will have to kill all the enemy troops and grasses, understand?"
"Understood, General!" The generals said in unison as they interfered to pay their respects.
Gao Hang nodded his head, and continued: "The life and death of I, Mo, will be decided in this battle, and whether or not I can be turned into victory will depend on my brothers. In this battle, our soldiers must go all out, advance bravely, and sneak attack the Enemy's Camp. No matter what happens, we must not stop, and rush forward to kill in one go.
