Chapter 194 Expansion
On the west bank of Lengshui River, a large-scale river crossing force gathered again. The large-scale river crossing equipment was discovered by a patrol boat pretending to be a goblin airship and brought back to Pupu City.

Cattail City was once again shrouded in the shadow of war.

However, unlike the last time, the shadow of war this time seemed to have little impact on Cattail City. Not only were the common people not worried, even the wealthy goblins who valued their lives did not care too much about it.

Because the new trading zone is in the northeast of Cattail City, even if Cattail City is invaded by humans, they will still have time to take off and escape.

The goblins gathered in the trade zone even believed that they would be safe even if humans invaded Cattail City.

Because there are so many treasures in Cattail City, enough to dazzle human eyes and give them enough time to take off.

As for the three tribes of Cattail City, if they had not been stopped by the soldiers, they would have wanted to go to the edge of the battlefield to see how the warriors of the three tribes eliminated and captured the evil humans.

It has to be said, just as Feng Yu boasted after the fact, the last glorious victory of Pulu City gave the residents of the three tribes in Pulu City too much confidence. To use a fashionable saying in Pulu City nowadays, the residents of the three tribes in Pulu City are now a little inflated.

This expansion was given to them by the brilliant victory of new weapons and by their magical friend Darren Fengyu from another continent.

After half a month of preparation, humans finally began to cross the river on a large scale. A great war was about to begin.

Humans came prepared and with great force, and Cattail City was also fully prepared and on the alert.

Feng Yu, Anthony and Bo Rui stood on a makeshift wooden platform and looked at the river in the distance. On the dry riverbank 30 meters east of the Lengshui River was the defense line of the First Regiment of the Xiangpu City Iron Army.

The defense line was only a thin layer, and the soldiers were scattered and stretched out far away, making it look like it would be easy to break through.

One battalion of the 2nd Regiment of the Pupu City Railway Army served as an ammunition transport team, and the remaining two battalions served as reserve mobile forces. They were all resting in the distance, waiting to replenish the enemy's key attack positions.

The leader of the Brocade Empire this time was a Royal Cavalry commander with the title of Viscount. This commander was so extravagant that he used a magic scroll to grant himself an eagle-eye spell that could enhance his vision. After seeing the situation on the other side, he laughed uncontrollably.

Next, the order was given for humans to cross the river on a large scale, because the Viscount Cavalry Commander believed that no matter what weapons the elves had, as long as the warriors he brought could reach the shore, a single charge would make the opposite side's ridiculous defense line disappear.

No matter what new weapons or elven archery skills, they are all useless in front of the Viscount.

It's no wonder that he is so arrogant. The military force of the Brocade Empire is so strong that it has suffocated the Moran Empire across the Green River. Minority races have even been driven out of the territory of the Brocade Empire long ago. The Viscount really can't think of anything that the three tribes of Cattail City can do to stop him.

As the commander of the Royal Cavalry of the Brocade Empire, the Viscount is the general of the Royal Cavalry. He looks down on the Moran Empire, let alone the so-called three major mercenary groups of the Moran Empire.

Similarly, he really didn't take the three tribes of Cattail City who destroyed the three major mercenary groups of the Moran Empire seriously.

The sparsely populated elves, dwarves who are not even as tall as his waist, and the weak halflings, what is there to worry about? Are you kidding?
Of course, as the commander-in-chief of the Royal Cavalry, the Viscount was not a military idiot. Although he looked down on the sparsely packed battle formation on the opposite side, he also knew the power of long-range weapons.

Therefore, the first batch of rafts that were launched were filled with shield warriors and crossbowmen.

The shield warriors defend, and as long as they get within 50 meters, the crossbowmen can snipe the enemies on the other side's battle formation. Needless to say, after that, the shield warriors hold the shields to cover the crossbowmen's landing and break through the battle formation that is as thin as a window paper.

Then, after the rafts carrying light cavalry and archers equipped with crossbows landed, the opposite side could only be ravaged by these two types of cavalry, both long-range and short-range.

By then, the secret recipe of salt and his own earldom will be within his reach without any effort.

The Viscount looked at the boxes of crossbow carts and catapult materials around him and felt that the empire was too conservative. The imaginary enemy of this kind of heavy weaponry was the same ultra-long-range weapon of the Moran Empire. It would be a waste of effort to pull it over here.

Fortunately, Cattail City did not engage in a positional defense battle with battle formations and chevaux de frise like it did against Moran's three major mercenary groups. In that case, he would have to transport the components of these heavy guys to the other side and assemble them.

This was too troublesome for a cavalry general who was good at fast-moving combat.

The Lengshui River is neither wide nor narrow. The widest part is the section of the river near the estuary, which is about ten kilometers wide. It is certainly incomparable to the 180-kilometer-wide river section at the estuary of the lower reaches of the Chinese river.

The location where humans cross the river is already slightly narrower, less than ten kilometers away, only six to eight kilometers. This is the most ideal location for crossing the river, with a gentle water flow and a short distance.

At this location, people with good eyesight can vaguely see the scenery on the other side when the weather is clear.

There are no electronic products that can damage eyesight in Green Continent. The sky is blue and the ground is green, and everyone's eyesight is generally well maintained. Naturally, they can see the shadows of people on the surface of the river across the river.

As a pervert with an activated meridian system, Feng Yu's eyesight was naturally impeccable. Even without the Eagle Eye Technique, he could clearly see the busy figures on the other side of the river and the people on the large raft that had already been launched into the water.

He picked up a large iron loudspeaker, put it to his mouth, and before he could speak, he quickly moved the thing away from his mouth.

The large iron speaker is indeed made of pure iron, so it naturally has no sound amplification device and can only serve to gather sound.

However, this thing is just a temporary work, and it is obvious that it has not been designed or processed. The iron sheet was cut and rolled into a horn, and the rough edges were not even polished.

He just put this thing to his lips. If he hadn't practiced, his skin would have been thick enough. This big loudspeaker would have given him a free facelift.

Feng Yu muttered a curse, then used brute force to manually curl the edge of the loudspeaker and put it to his mouth again.

"Hunter spearmen, don't move yet. Put the enemy within the 200-meter attack line. Riflemen, open fire and conduct precise shooting. Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

The soldiers heard that this battle was not only for victory but also for training them, otherwise they might not even have a chance to fire a shot because the soldiers on the armed steamboat upstream were still idle.

Last time these guys captured thousands of people in one fell swoop, but Niu Bi was bad. If it weren't for the pressure from above, these rifle soldiers would have to become spectators in the battle like last time.
