After traveling through time, I took command and led the troops to conquer the mountains and rivers.

Chapter 433 Victory in the first battle!

Lin Gongxun didn't expect Muzaling to be so powerful.

Or maybe it's a one-and-done gamble!
This time, Muzaling crossed the city gate and attacked Manchester City directly.

"Report!"

The scout ran madly to the tent, stumbled and knelt on the ground.

"General, the Uighur army is approaching."

"About 100,000 people!"

"what?"

Several deputy generals were incredulous, "Can you find out why so many people came?"

The scout gasped, "No more, no less!"

There was another sound of inhaling, and Lin Gongxun waved his hand to let the scout go out.

"General, the Uighurs are coming with great force this time. What should we do?"

Lin Gongxun walked to the left and pointed to the location on the map and said.

"The battlefield is set right here!"

Several people looked at the map, riverside!
"General, how can this be possible?"

"Who doesn't know that the Uighurs are good at water?"

Another bearded man shouted in a hoarse voice.

"Does the general intend to use fire attack?"

"They would link their ships together when they attacked us, or our soldiers would link their ships together."

"And destroy them with fire?"

Lin Gongxun pulled the corner of his lip.

"Do you think the Uighurs don't have a strategy to deal with any of the tricks that come to mind easily?"

Several people looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

"General, what do you say?"

The bearded man couldn't help but said, "We'll do whatever you say!"

"This time, we must let the Uighur soldiers see how powerful we are!"

Lin Gongxun pointed to the area near the riverside and said, "Look, there are cliffs all around the riverside."

"Here, we can only take risks to have a chance of winning!"

There is a huge gap in strength between the two sides now, so they cannot fight head-on.

“Have you ever heard this saying, those who drown are those who can swim.”

"This time, let's let them die on their egos."

Muzaling personally led his soldiers to attack the Great Zhou, but encountered resistance when they reached the river.

He understood that this was Lin Gongxun's default battlefield.

"Lord, we don't need to worry about this problem."

The deputy general beside him said proudly, "We Uighur men are born knowing how to swim."

"For the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if one comes, I'll break one. If two come, I'll break a pair!"

Muzhaling shook his head, "You don't understand Lin Gongxun!"

Years of confrontation experience told him that things were not that simple.

"Come here, send someone to investigate the recent movements of the Great Zhou soldiers!"

He wanted to see how Lin Gongxun planned to defeat the enemy this time.

The terrain around the river is dangerous, making it easy for the Uighur soldiers to find out what the Great Zhou was doing.

After blocking the Uighur soldiers east of the river, the soldiers of the Great Zhou frequently went into the water.

Perhaps they were not familiar with the water, or the water was too freezing in the coldest days of winter, so they got up quickly after sinking into the river.

Some people even turned back in a hurry without even walking far from the river.

After seeing this, the Uighur soldiers burst into laughter and cursed the Zhou soldiers as cowards.

After hearing this, Muzaling felt that something was fishy and decided to investigate it himself.

As the vanguard soldiers said, the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty first went into the water, but after a short while they got up and returned to the shore.

It seems that there is nothing unusual.

However, Muzaling still felt uneasy and decided to speed up the pace of the battle.

Muzaling ordered his soldiers to set out from the Uighur shore, but when they reached the middle of the river, they were stopped by the soldiers of the Great Zhou.

The weapons they used were bows and arrows.

Of course, this is the best option.

To a certain extent, it did hinder the progress of the Uighur soldiers.

However, this level could not dispel the Uighurs' intention to attack.

"How's the progress?"

Muzhaling stared at the movement on the water, as calm as water. "General, there are still some things that have not been completed!"

This is not possible!

"Send troops to stop them again!"

Archers from the Great Zhou gradually arrived at their positions, and dense arrows whizzed through the air from the shore.

Seeing the situation of the Great Zhou, Muzhaling finally understood.

"Gather reinforcements, we must go ashore today!"

The shouts and cries of killing were deafening, awakening the wild beasts that were not hibernating.

The Great Zhou soldiers couldn't stop them at all.

"General, it's no use, they are about to land!"

Lin Gongxun turned around and shouted, "Dashan, what's wrong?"

"General, only eight or nine out of ten!" Fang Dashan replied anxiously.

It was too late, "Let them get ashore!"

The war drums sounded, and suddenly the archers of the Great Zhou retreated.

This made the Uighur soldiers look at each other in bewilderment, and the alarm bells in Muzhaling rang loudly.

"The entire army is on alert!"

He didn't know what Lin Gongxun was doing, but his intuition told him that something must have happened.

It seemed like a lifetime passed in the process of crossing the river to the other side.

During the journey, the Great Zhou did not take any further action and just waited for the Uighur soldiers to come ashore.

This made Muzaling look like fish on the chopping board waiting to be slaughtered.

Seeing that they were getting closer to the shore, Muzaling gave the order.

"Come ashore!"

The Uighur soldiers jumped into the water like dumplings, but soon some of them approached the shore.

There was a "bang" sound, not very loud, but it made the nervous Uighur soldiers shiver.

"what happened?"

Several people fell down where the sound came from.

As more and more noises were heard, Muzaling realized that something was wrong.

"There's something in the water!"

Those who were brave enough floated to the bottom of the river and saw many spherical objects.

They didn't know what it was and slowly approached.

No matter how careful you are, you still trigger the surrounding mechanisms.

With a "bang", flesh and blood were shattered!
This mechanism is nothing special, it is a cotton thread as thin as a hair.

If you are not careful for a moment, you will be tricked.

Muzaling didn't care about so many things. Since there was a sound, it meant that there were a certain number of this thing.

He gave the order to continue sending soldiers ashore.

Time was urgent and the Great Zhou was not fully prepared, so the Uighur soldiers still went ashore.

"Humph, it's just a small trick!"

No wonder we saw the soldiers of the Great Zhou fiddling with things on the river bank before, and no wonder they didn’t take off their clothes before going into the water.

It turns out it is used to store these things.

However, although there are not many of these things, they are very lethal.

Muzhaling was very interested in this thing.

The losses in this attack were quite heavy. Only a small number of people reached the shore, and were then annihilated by the soldiers of the Great Zhou.

"retreat!"

Muzhaling ordered the Uighur soldiers to return to the shore.

Suddenly, there was loud cheering on the shore of Da Zhou, the first battle was a victory!

Lin Gongxun and Muzaling looked at each other from across the river. If eyes could kill, the two would have fought for hundreds of rounds!

In the camp tent, Lin Gongxun led the officers of each battalion to review the situation.

"General, although this thing is good, the Uighurs took some back with them."

"What if the secrets they discovered are used against us?"

Lin Gongxun fell silent.

The method of making this simple torpedo was given to him by Yu Jia.

No need to ask, it must be from her world.

Yu Jia told him that it should never be used unless absolutely necessary.

He promised, but also broke his promise!
