Chapter 403: "Calculation"
Looking at Jiang Chen's meaningful gaze, Yuan Hao immediately understood what Jiang Chen meant.
However, looking at Yu Shuo standing aside, he tactfully did not point it out.
Just like that, after receiving Jiang Chen's order.
Yuan Hao and Yu Shuo set out with five hundred soldiers from the Shenji Camp and five hundred elite soldiers from the Yan State.
Seeing that it was not yet dark, Yuan Hao and Yu Shuo led their men to hide in the woods.
Soon, the news that Yuan Hao and Yu Shuo had left with a group of soldiers reached the ears of Qi's defending general Le Yipo.
After hearing the news, Le Yipo smiled slightly.
"Hahaha, I thought the king of Yan Country was so powerful!"
"I didn't expect that I would be able to guess his intention right from the start."
"It seems that I can make a contribution this time."
Le Yipo said with a happy smile, and the generals beside him also began to flatter him.
" The general is truly a master of foresight. The King of Yan has really been fooled!"
"In my opinion, this time Yan Country sent out this special force."
"I'm afraid this will add another great achievement to the soldiers of Qi!"
Listening to the praises from his subordinates, Le Yipo became even more proud.
He had deliberately let the scouts of Yan State discover that floating bridge.
He had already arranged a garrison of 5,000 men near the pontoon bridge.
As long as the Northern Army dares to attack the floating bridge, they will be killed without a burial place!
"Okay, everyone shut up. My ears are almost callused."
"You guys, can't you just change a few words?"
Le Yi stopped all his subordinates with a hypocritical look and raised his hand and said.
"Everyone, please retreat first. We will use the heads of Yan Nation as sacrifices tonight!"
…
Time soon came to late night, Yu Shuo and Yuan Hao were leading the soldiers behind them.
With the help of moonlight, he slowly walked out of the forest.
"General Yuan, you can just wait here with the brothers of the Shenji Camp!"
"Leave these Qi soldiers to me."
Having said that, Yu Shuo prepared to charge forward with the 500 elite soldiers of the Yan State behind him.
But before he could rush out, he was blocked by Yuan Hao.
"Wait a minute, General Yu. Take a look around the floating bridge first!"
After Yuan Hao stopped Yu Shuo, he pointed at the floating bridge on the other side of the river and said to Yu Shuo.
It was only after Yuan Hao reminded him that Yu Shuo discovered it.
There were so few Qi garrisons near this floating bridge that it was suspicious.
Seeing this situation, Yu Shuo also reacted.
This floating bridge in front of us is probably just a bait!
Thinking of this, Yu Shuo couldn't help but ask Yuan Hao in confusion.
"General Yuan, if that's the case, this is just a trap."
"But why... did His Majesty ask you and me to come here?"
In response to Yu Shuo's question, Yuan Hao smiled slightly and gave a profound explanation.
"Since His Majesty asked you and me to come here, he must have his own ideas."
"We don't need to worry about so much, just complete the task assigned by His Majesty!"
After saying that, Yuan Hao waved his hand towards the soldiers of the Shenjiying Camp behind him.
Immediately afterwards, five hundred soldiers of the Shenji Camp equipped with flintlock muskets loaded ammunition.
Seeing that the soldiers of the Shenjiying Camp behind him were ready to open fire.
Yuan Hao then pointed at the floating bridge and said to Yu Shuo.
"Okay, General Yu, next, we just have to wait for the signal from His Majesty."
After hearing what Yuan Hao said, Yu Shuo was like a confused monk.
Standing there, I was lost in confusion.
But soon, he understood...
While the five hundred soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were loading their ammunition, Jiang Chen also came to the riverside with his four personal guards and the Shenshu Battalion.
Looking at the other side of the river shrouded by the night sky, Jiang Chen smiled.
"Qinglong, it's almost time."
"It's time to let these idiots in Qi see how powerful I am!"
As Jiang Chen said this, Qinglong beside him also grinned.
"I understand."
After saying that, Qinglong turned around and nodded to the Yan country soldiers standing by the river.
At Qinglong's signal, all the Yan soldiers drew their swords.
He chopped down at the rope tied on the river bank !
The next second, the rope broke.
The river water that had been restrained for so long suddenly gushed out and rolled towards the downstream!
"Le Yipo, Le Yipo, you are wrong in that you want to plot against me."
"But I didn't know that while you were plotting against me."
"I have already taken all the people in Qi State into account."
Looking at the surging river, Jiang Chen muttered to himself.
Jiang Chen had already made preparations as early as when he decided to send troops to Qi.
The dam upstream was naturally also the work of Jiang Chen.
After so many days of accumulation, the river water has long become calm.
Le Yipo, who knew nothing about all this, chose to use the floating bridge.
If the water level were normal, Le Yipo would not dare to take such a big risk.
They chose to use a floating bridge, an unstable way of crossing the river.
As the river level rose, the Qi garrison stationed downstream soon discovered something was wrong.
Looking at the rising river level, a Qi commander hurriedly reported to the generals of the 5,000-strong army hiding in the dark.
"General, this is bad!"
"The river level has suddenly risen a lot. I think it's a bit strange!"
The commander who discovered something was wrong spoke in panic to the Qi general in front of him.
But before he could finish, he heard the sound of gunfire coming from the other side of the river!
“Bang, bang—”
A series of musket shots broke the silence of the night and echoed in the night sky.
The Qi soldiers guarding the river had no time to react.
It has already fallen on the land by the river!
However, this was not the end, as Yu Shuo led five hundred elite soldiers from the Yan State and attacked.
Looking at the Yan soldiers who suddenly rushed out, the Qi general smiled slightly.
"Hahaha, I thought these Yan Country pigs and dogs would not come out."
"I didn't expect it. We've arrived just in time. Brothers, charge!"
The Qi general shouted loudly, picked up the saber beside him and rushed out to kill.
And all of this was within Jiang Chen's calculations.
As for Yuan Hao and Yu Shuo, they did not launch the attack rashly.
When they saw that the river level suddenly rose a little, they decided to take action.
Because, in their perception.
Except for the Emperor Yan, to whom he was loyal, no one could use the power of nature so skillfully!
Soon, the Qi general rushed onto the pontoon bridge.
Looking at the hundreds of Qi soldiers who had already boarded the pontoon bridge.
Yu Shuo smiled slightly and stopped his subordinates who wanted to rush onto the pontoon bridge.
"Everyone, draw your bows where you are!"
Under Yu Shuo's order, all the soldiers stopped.
Without hesitation, he drew the longbow from his waist, drew the bow and put the arrow on it, and it was done in almost an instant.
"Shoot!"
Seeing that the soldiers had ready their arrows, Yu Shuo waved his hand.
