Thinking of this, John couldn't help but frown and looked back. But when he looked back, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He immediately raised his hand to signal the team to stop and looked across the river.

Stop at this moment is undoubtedly a good thing for Pitt. He is already very tired at this moment. Although he is able to cross the river, he hopes to get a moment of rest. Because he also knows that the other party will definitely not give up so easily after he crosses the river. There must be some situations before he can cross the river smoothly. Therefore, the most important thing is to save a certain amount of physical strength and let yourself take a good breath.

"Torby, Kane. Arrange a warning." After saying that, John quickly signaled to Pete and Colin, and then arrived at the riverside. After looking at the river channel, he looked at the direction of the hot springs opposite the second blocking point.

Pete followed John's gaze and looked around, and after a while he whispered: "Sir. Are you planning to fight the other party here?"

Hearing Pete's words, John couldn't help but look at him, and had to say that this guy's performance made him extremely satisfied. What does it mean to say such words at this moment? It means that this guy is still thinking about things in his mind while he is busy with marching and fighting, and is thinking about the same things as himself. Is this extremely important? This is a commander, at least a good material to lead the team to fight.

However, John did not make a reply, but picked up the radio station he brought to contact the people on the other side. After responding to the other side, he immediately said, "Tun, have you reached the second blocking point?"

"Some of the personnel have not arrived yet. They are still monitoring the situation on the river in the rear." Thun replied.

"What's going on in the rear? Is there anything special?" John asked.

"No, so far, no abnormal movements of the other party in the woods were found. However, there were ships on the river surface and were dragged behind, and there were about two. They were the patrol ships I encountered before."

Hearing Thun say this, John looked at the bend of the river not far away. After a moment of looking at it, he seemed to have made up his mind and spoke, "Come to gather people and assemble at the second blocking point."

Hearing John's instructions, Thun seemed to have not understood what it meant for a moment, but he immediately responded. John did not explain to him. After finishing contact with Thun, he looked at Pitt and Colin and said, "Call Kane, Toby and Howard. We have to arrange it."

Pete and Colin immediately responded and quickly called Kane and Toby who were on guard. After seeing them coming, John immediately said: "I am going to use the turn of the river in front to get rid of each other's people."

"Fixed it?" Kane couldn't help but look at John in surprise.

"No." John waved his hand and said, "It's a bit exaggerated to say that it's a solution. It should be said that they will be defeated." He said, pointing to the west and said, "The people following us are for those who are reconnaissance. In other words, these people are always looking for opportunities to attack us. And we will reach the place across the river. I don't want to be attacked from the shore or even on the boat when my lower body is soaked in the water."

John's words made everyone except Pete understand what he meant. No one wants such a thing, and no one wants to continue fighting, but the other party keeps following him. Instead of waiting for the other party to find an opportunity to attack him, it is better to take the initiative to solve the problem.

So Kane said, "What should we do?"

"Simply put, we can't really cross the river where we want to cross the river." John said.

"Can't you cross the river where we really want to cross the river?" Howard, who was rescued by everyone, seemed to have no idea what John was talking about for a moment, and looked at John for no reason and looked at the others.

"Yes." John pointed to the guide and said, "We cannot be suppressed by the other party where we really want to cross the river, so we will lose room for maneuver. Even if we are defeated, it will cause me some trouble or even big trouble when we actually cross the river. So we have to be there." John said, pointing to the river surface and said, "We will pass by a bend not far ahead, and the river will turn there. All we have to do here is to fight with the other party not far behind the river."

"Want there?" Kane looked south and said, "How can we make sure they can act as we wish? What if they still watch from afar or bombard them?"

John smiled and pointed to the north, which was behind everyone and said, "Where. Don't forget the people who have been following us. They will let their people attack us."

"Is that we want to convey the wrong message to them?" Peter immediately said when he saw John say this.

"Yes!" John pointed to Pete and said, "That's it. Do you think that the time they attacked us was a little confused? Haha." John said and smiled, "No, not at all. They found us close to the river and stopped. This caused them a misunderstanding, that is, they thought we were going to cross the river and their chance came. So, they attacked us. This time we were the same as before, making them think we were going to cross the river. Let them take the initiative to attack us again."

"Will they still be fooled?" Colin asked. "Will they still attack easily after losing two patrol boats? Besides, what should they do if they still attack us with mortars? In that case, we have no way to deal with them."

"No." John waved his hand and said, "They will be fooled, but we have to behave differently. For example, we really seem to be crossing the river, wading, and even sending a few people to swim to the other side. In fact, they also hope that we can really start crossing the river. We have run a long distance, and they have reason to believe that we have arrived at the place where we really cross the river. This is their last chance for them, and they should be more anxious than us." John said, looking at the west side of the woods, and said, "As for the other party's mortars, we have to start first so that they can't shoot us in a very calm manner."

"Let's start first? Does it mean we will attack those people on the road?" Colin continued to ask.

John waved his hand again and said, "No. We can't go over. If we were in the past, we would lose our advantage. I think there must be a lot of their people there. Even if it's night, they can only rely on flares to see us, but when there is a huge gap in numbers, they just need to shoot at us. Then we will be passive and have no effect at all." After saying that, he looked at the opposite side of the river and said, "We have to lean on the people on the other side of the river. If I remember correctly, Thun and the others have mortars. Let them shoot the people there."
