Even if Yelang is a soldier, he is not as many as the heroes in the world, and even less than the total number of soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, which is indeed arrogant enough.

However, Wu Fan's words also reflect a problem, the ethnic minorities in the south are very scattered, and the hearts of the people are not aligned, and if they want to be truly united, they must make a lot of efforts.

The army advanced all the way to the southeast and went straight to Panyu, and a rushing river blocked the way, which was the Xijiang River.

Wang Baoyu came from afar, so naturally he would not carry warships, and at present, there were only dozens of warships from the upstream, half-new and not old, and the volume was not large.

"The number of warships is too small, and it is not a small risk to cross them in batches." Wang Baoyu frowned.

"There were originally a lot of warships, but most of them were concentrated in Panyu." Wu Fan explained.

As far as the eye can see, there is not a single soldier of South Vietnam on the other side of the river, and there is a posture of no defense at all, so we should seize the time to cross the river as soon as possible, as long as one-third of the soldiers can cross the river, even if there is an enemy interception, it will not be a problem.

Just when Wang Baoyu was about to transport the army to the other side in batches, Ruan Xiongqi walked over and said solemnly: "King, the people here are extraordinary, and you need to be cautious. ”

Wang Baoyu looked at the surging river, which is of the same nature as the swamp, and asked in astonishment: "With such a rapid river, they can also set up an ambush?" ”

"Some South Vietnamese barbarians, who live near the water, can walk on the ground in the waves, and can lurk in the water for a long time." Ruan Xiongqi said again.

"Then what do you say should be done?"

"At this time, only a few hundred large ships can cross the river at the same time to avoid this ambush."

Ruan Xiongqi's construction is good, but the problem of sparing a circle or having few warships cannot be solved at the moment, which is equivalent to not saying. Wang Baoyu turned around and asked, "Qianhiro, our warships are insufficient, do you have a good strategy against the enemy?" ”

"You can send a few warships to try it first." Mo Qianxun said.

Since there was no good way, it could only be so, Wang Baoyu's side sent five warships, carrying hundreds of soldiers, and cautiously sailed towards the opposite bank.

Wang Baoyu took out a telescope and kept an eye on the movement on the other side, the boat crossed the middle of the river, there was nothing abnormal, maybe the South Vietnamese soldiers did not set up an ambush, and everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, just when these warships wanted to dock, the water suddenly sparkled, and then many heads were exposed underwater, and it was the South Vietnamese soldiers who were ambushed underwater, countless bamboo guns and iron guns, and threw them towards the warships.

Whoosh! Dozens of soldiers on the warship fell in a pool of blood in an instant, and the soldiers hurriedly shot arrows into the water, but the South Vietnamese soldiers only showed their heads, quickly sank into the water and disappeared, showing their heads again at an incredible speed dozens of meters away, and the bows and arrows could not hurt them at all.

The soldiers on the ship panicked and hurriedly rowed desperately towards the shore. However, the clanging sound came from the bottom of the water, and the soldiers on the ship picked up their spears and poked them into the water, but these South Vietnamese soldiers were more nimble than loaches, and not a single one died.

As a result, only a few steps away from landing, all five warships sank into the river due to water ingress. Like a fish churning in a net, the soldiers who fell into the water were no match for the South Vietnamese soldiers, and hundreds of soldiers were soon all killed, and the river was stained with blood.

And those South Vietnamese soldiers, like ghosts, dived into the water again and disappeared completely.

The speed of the first qiē happened very fast, Wang Baoyu almost didn't see the figure of the South Vietnamese soldiers in Qingshui, and the warships and soldiers were all wiped out in this way, it is conceivable that if it were not for Ruan Xiongqi's reminder, the losses would have been even more heavy.

Everyone frowned, unable to think of how to deal with the current situation, and the army could only temporarily abandon crossing the river and retreat to camp two miles away. In order to prevent the South Vietnamese soldiers from sabotaging the warships, they could only temporarily carry the dozens of warships to the shore with great difficulty and send people to protect them closely.

After preliminary estimates, the number of South Vietnamese soldiers under the water should not be large, and if the number of warships is large enough, it should be able to break through the defense line, but Wang Baoyu only has a few dozen warships on his side, and it is too late to build them temporarily.

Everyone inevitably sat together to discuss, and Qian Mo put forward his own idea, such a long riverbank, not necessarily every place is fortified by South Vietnamese soldiers, it is better to walk along the river and find an undefended place to cross the river.

Nguyen Xiongqi opposed Qian Mo's Tiyì, the movement of the 100,000 army is not small, and the other side must be paying close attention, not to mention that the situation on the river bank is complicated, and the march may not be smooth.

Qian Mo said that the other party was just relying on the water to scare him, otherwise he would not kill anyone when he saw it, but waited for an opportunity to attack in a targeted manner.

But Ma Yunlu also protested, no matter what, Baoyu must not be harmed in the slightest, that is to say, he must not take risks with luck.

Each has its own reason, but also has its own shortcomings, for a while, everyone argued, and finally failed to come up with a proper solution.

In fact, these are nothing, if on their own territory, let my sister build some warships with strong defensive functions, or take giant ships, no one will take these South Vietnamese soldiers seriously.

Early the next morning, Wang Baoyu led his group to the riverbank and ordered a ten-meter-high platform to be erected to check the situation on the other side.

Modern telescopes once again played a huge role, and through a day of uninterrupted observation and observation, Wang Baoyu and others gradually figured out the situation of the other party.

The number of South Vietnamese soldiers is indeed small, only about a thousand people, half of the soldiers hide in the water, half of the soldiers hide in the bushes on the shore, every other hour, they will quietly rotate, it seems that they cannot stay in the water for too long.

Wang Baoyu could roughly see that these South Vietnamese soldiers were black and thin, with only shorts on their bodies and short hair, and they were obviously native South Vietnamese and did not follow the Han custom of having long hair.

No matter how good a person's water nature is, he can't become a fish, and the time he holds his breath completely in the water is shorter, calculated by minutes, so as long as they are suppressed in a certain way, maybe there will be a breakthrough. Wang Baoyu has a general idea, when the night comes, he returns to the camp and looks for Mo Qian to drink, this old brother has not expressed his opinion, and he must be thinking hard about a good way to break the enemy.

Wang Baoyu briefly told Mo Qianxun what he observed today, to provide reference for his decision-making, Mo Qianxun listened quietly, drank two glasses of wine, pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "The troops on the other side are insufficient, but it is beneficial to our side, as long as there are thousands of soldiers on the shore, we can suppress the other party." ”

"It makes sense, they are not really like fish, they can live in the water for a long time, as long as they can be forced into the water and not allowed to go ashore, it won't be too long, they will definitely escape." Wang Baoyu nodded.
