When Tian Chang and Tong Erdan rushed to Cao Chong's stronghold, the sky was already gray and bright. The guard, Ma Tuhai, heard the news early and acted quickly. He had already ordered three thousand soldiers and horses, waiting for Tian Chang and Tong Erdan to break camp and set off.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and it looked like snow had not yet snowed. At this time, further news came to Cao Chongzhai, but the further news was called Tian Chang. The hair on Tong Erdan's back stood up: "What, the enemy pulled three suspension ropes on the Han River at night

Cross the river?"

"There are only three suspension ropes, how can the sentinel ship be destroyed by fire?" Tong Erdan asked.

They had long discussed the various ways in which the Huaidong Army could infiltrate into the south bank. The Han River section west of Xiangyang was under their control. If the Huaidong Army wanted to infiltrate, the first way would be to cross the river, and the second would be to cross the narrow river.

You can directly pull the suspension rope everywhere. But in these two methods, you can only send a small group of soldiers or scouts to infiltrate.

"When the sentinel patrol passed Shanmenyan at night, something unusual was discovered. However, the enemy troops had already been deployed on both sides of the strait. The ambushes on both sides of the strait immediately shot and killed sixteen of my people with crossbows. The sentinel had no time to react and could only light the beacon fire warning and go downstream.

Escape. Two sentry boats, one hit a reef and sank halfway, and the other docked from the east foot of Miaotan Ridge. Wuya and Lin in the valley in front of Miaotan Ridge had also just sent people to summon them, only earlier than Tian Shuai and General Tong.

"Half a step forward," Cao Chongzhai guard Ma Tuhai reported, "the enemy took advantage of the night to set up a suspension rope between Longzhao Rock and Shanmen Rock. Judging from the scale of the attack on the sentinel ship, there were at least fifty or sixty on the south bank.

Huaidong archers; when we rush over, there should be two to three hundred enemies crossing the river..."

How could Ma Tuhai imagine how the Huaidong Army used rigging and wire ropes to cross the river quickly? He just imagined the general situation and speculated that the Huaidong Army used ropes to cross the river and could transport two to three hundred people in two or three hours.

The armored soldiers with well-dressed and well-equipped weapons will stand up to the sky when they come over...

Tian Chang had been fighting fiercely with Huaidong for many years, and he knew that it would take a lot of effort for Huaidong's two or three hundred elites to annihilate them all based on the steep terrain of Miaotan Ridge, but it was obvious that Huaidong would not do it for no reason.

Send two to three hundred people to the south bank to die.

Tong Erdan frowned and said to Tian Chang: "The enemy set up a suspension rope between Longzhao Rock and Shanmen Rock. They sneaked some people over first. They thought they only needed to hold on to this end of the suspension rope, and then used bed crossbows to block both sides on the north bank.

By crossing the Han River, we can continue to send more troops and horses from the north bank to expand our position and delay our army's retreat to the north. They have a good idea! It seems that it is not enough for us to send troops from the land to encircle and kill them. We must immediately attack them from upstream and downstream.

Only by sending warships through the Huaidong Army's blockade and destroying the suspension ropes..."

Tian Chang suspected that it would not be that simple, but judging from the current situation, he could only send people back to Gucheng to see Ye Jiluorong and ask him to send warships with strong sides from Gucheng to destroy the Huaidong Army.
