    Yingchuan County, which Tan Feng considered to be infallible, could not even hold on for a day.  ¡Ê¡â, Overnight, the peaceful atmosphere in Yingshui City changed drastically. In the early morning, groups of soldiers ran out of the military camp. The sound of neat footsteps, the neighing of horses, and the shouts of superiors,  The sound resounded throughout the city in an instant. Countless businessmen and people were awakened. They opened their windows or door panels in surprise. What they saw was countless heavily armed soldiers rushing to the river bank, and more bags filled with military supplies.  The carriages are also gathering there.  The loud bugle sound could not only be heard clearly in Yingshui City, but also the Qin army on the other side.  Countless torches suddenly lit up on both sides of Yingshui.  "Reporting to your Majesty, the 88th Division of the 19th Army is ready for battle. Please give your order." The young division commander Ye Feng stood in front of Gao Yuan fully armed and reported excitedly.  "Today you are the commander-in-chief, and all battles will be directed by you personally. I am just a spectator." Gao Yuan smiled.  "But your commander, Commander Chen, is on the way. He must hope that you have successfully captured Yingchuan County before he arrives." "Don't worry, Your Majesty!" Ye Feng grinned, "After preparing for so long,  I have deduced this process countless times, and I am already familiar with it. I will definitely complete the task on time. " "Okay, this thing is for you." Gao Yuan laughed and took something out of his arms.  Ye Feng.  "Here, what is this?" Ye Feng reached out to catch it. The thing in his hand was a tube, and it was movable. When he pulled it, there was a small tube inside the big tube.  "This thing is called a telescope!" Gao Yuan reached out and took it, pulled the sleeve open, brought it close to his eyes and looked into the distance. It was still dark.  But the dots of torches on the other side were extremely clear.  "This is something just developed by Mingbo Company. It can bring things very far away to your eyes." "Is there such a good thing?" Ye Feng took the telescope back, brought it close to his eyes, and turned it around.  He looked at it, the more he looked at it, the happier he became, "Brother-in-law, I will immediately order dozens of them from Mingbo Company, and give one to each of my subordinate officers above the battalion level." "You have such a strong tone!" Gao Yuan laughed, "This thing is expensive.  This lens is now completely polished by hand, and the failure rate is still high. There is only one master craftsman in Mingbo Company who can grind this lens. If you want to order dozens of lenses, just this one!  If it¡¯s worth, it¡¯s worth at least tens of thousands of yuan, Ye Feng, you¡¯re so rich? But you can¡¯t buy it with just money!¡± Ye Feng¡¯s tongue stretched out, ¡°It¡¯s so expensive?  , then forget it. I just have this one. Thank you, brother-in-law!" He put this Wangyuanjing in his arms and ran away.  "This kid. I originally gave it to you." Gao Yuan laughed.  "Your Majesty, aren't you going to take a look?" He Weiyuan asked cautiously, because Gao Yuan had no intention of going out.  Gao Yuan, who had already stepped into the threshold with one foot, turned around and said with a smile: "Such a small scene. Is it still worth visiting the front line in person? We were noisy in the middle of the night yesterday and I didn't sleep well. Now I have to catch up on my sleep."  "The door slammed shut in front of He Weiyuan.  He Weiyuan wandered in front of the door for a while, but finally couldn't hold it any longer, and reached out to call a few soldiers, "You guys stay here, I will go to the front to take a look, and if the king calls you for something later, please inform me quickly.  "Yes, Commander!" He Weiyuan chuckled, tightened the sash around his waist, and ran out like flying. The king disdained to see such a lively scene, and he couldn't miss it.  Ye Feng stood on the river embankment. Beside him, there were ten forts in a row. At this time, the cannons that had been hidden in the warehouse had been dragged out and installed on the forts. The cannons, which had taken off their felt clothes, stood darkly.  On one side, holding the gun body with a metallic luster, Ye Feng was extremely excited. A large-scale artillery battle, and heavy artillery, was the first time in the Han army. He heard that the attack on Lu in the First Military Region  Cannons were also used in the Bin Fortress area, but they were small cannons assigned to the army. Here, heavy artillery, in terms of range and power, is not comparable to that of small cannons.  From the river embankment to the river, the soldiers of the 88th Division were already in full formation and ready for any attack. Looking at all this, Ye Feng was very proud. This was the result of his training for several years, but it was just in the middle of the night.  In a short time, all preparations for the attack were made. The combat battalion, engineer battalion, pontoon bridge battalion, and heavy artillery battalion completed the mission flawlessly according to the previous plan.  Even the most elite young guards of the Han Dynasty are nothing more than this.  In one day, Army Commander Chen Bin¡¯s large force came from the rear. It only took one day, so that was the time left for him to attack Yingchuan County.There is only one day left.  On the other side, in Yingchuan County City, Gongsun Zhi got the news and stepped onto the city tower. Looking at the formation on the other side, the corners of his eyes narrowed slightly. The Han army was about to attack Yingchuan County City, but they only had more than 10,000 men and Yingchuan.  Separated by water, it was a wrong idea to think that there would be an opportunity to take advantage of the general's departure with the main force.  There are now 20,000 soldiers and horses in Yingchuan. Not only the city walls but also the river embankments are covered with defensive positions. The densely packed crossbows and stone cannons there are enough to sink anything that wants to float in the Yingshui River.  "Sun Haifeng, take people to the river embankment to supervise the battle." Gongsun Zhi turned his head and said to his deputy general Sun Haifeng.  "Smash them hard to the bottom of the river, whatever they use to cross the river." "Understood, General Gongsun, just watch it! These damn Han people, I won't let them even touch the river bank.  Come, let's sink them all into the river to feed the fish." Sun Haifeng, who had a sinister face, said with a sinister smile.  On the river embankment, the Yingchuan soldiers were already in full formation. The Yingshui River on the other side was in turmoil for most of the night, so they could only stay on guard for most of the night. However, it was almost dawn, but there seemed to be loud thunder on the other side.  , the raindrops are light, but they haven¡¯t launched an attack yet.  Sun Haifeng, who was on the embankment, was also a little impatient. Could it be that his opponent didn't want to attack at night?  With the darkness providing cover, they might sneak up and wait until daybreak, when there would be no loopholes to exploit.  After all, he is still a little kid who has nothing to do!  Sun Haifeng sneered, can the young master who climbed up through nepotism really know how to fight?  He looked up at the sky, and there was already a hint of fish belly white on the horizon. At this time of year, it was getting bright very early.  The torches on both sides of the river were brightly lit, and he could see well-armed soldiers between the opposite river and the embankment. However, there were no boats or rafts crossing the river in the river. Do they want to swim over?  Sun Haifeng frowned slightly. If something went wrong, he would be a monster.  But he couldn't figure out where the demon was, which made him very uncomfortable.  As a general, what he fears most is the occurrence of a situation he doesn't understand. Being unable to guess the thoughts of both parties means that he will be passive in the subsequent confrontation.  When Sun Haifeng looked up at the sky, Ye Feng on the other side was also looking up at the sky.  "Get ready!" His voice was not loud, but extremely powerful.  Ten heavy cannons, and the soldiers of the ten artillery groups were busy in an instant, filling gunpowder, tamping, and solid shells were loaded into the barrels one by one. The fuse hung from the tail of the gun. Everyone except the gunner squatted down.  .  "Commander Ye, please get out of here!" the artillery battalion commander shouted to his division commander.  "Okay, the position here is yours, mine is below!" Ye Feng smiled: "Brother Guo, you have to be more accurate." "Don't worry, Commander, our artillery battalion has been thinking about shooting Zhu Yuan for a long time.  "Every gunner is very skilled and can shoot accurately every time." "You bastards on the other side are about to start shooting." Ye Feng laughed and walked off the fort.  "Zhouqiao Battalion, take action!" Throughout the entire Han army, the Zhouqiao Battalion was only equipped with the 88th Division of the 19th Army. After hearing the division commander's order, the Zhouqiao Battalion, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately took action.  , the rectangular objects like water tanks that had been placed on the beach were quickly pierced with steel rods. A group of more than ten soldiers carried these water tanks and rushed to the river, placing the water tanks into the river.  One soldier jumped on, and several other soldiers held down the water tank to prevent him from floating in the water.  An iron rod passed through the iron ring in a corner of the water tank. The sledgehammer was swung and with a few bangs, the water tank was fixed in the river.  Then came the second and third ones. The iron rods fixing the water tank became longer and longer, and the bridge deck formed by this water tank extended further and further into the river.  In less than a stick of incense, more than a dozen such pontoon bridges had quickly extended to the center of the river.  On the other side, Tan Haifeng¡¯s eyes widened. They were building a floating bridge, but why were they so fast?  More than a dozen bridges actually extended to the center of the river in the blink of an eye. At this speed, they could reach here in just a short while.  "Stone cannon, fire, let me sink them!" Sun Haifeng suddenly jumped up and shouted sternly. Only then did he realize that the other party did not need a boat, and they had no intention of using a boat at all. They wanted to build a bridge.  The calm on both sides of the river was broken by the whistling sound of stone cannons. Stone bombs fell from the sky one after another, stirring up wave columns one after another in the river. From time to time, water tanks were hit and capsized, and the Han army boats were busy above.  The soldiers from the bridge camp fell into the water, but soon someone else would come to make up for them.  "Fire!" The small red flag in the hand of the artillery battalion commander fell heavily.  The torch lit the fuse, and to the ears of these artillerymen, the burning fuse was the most beautiful thing in the world.?? music, one after another loud noise, smoke filled the air, the artillery position was instantly filled with smoke, ten red iron balls weighing more than ten kilograms fell in the air with a sharp whistle towards Ying on the opposite side.  Sichuan Army position.  (To be continued.)
