A large group of soldiers surrounded the small city. They soon discovered that this was an empty city, with no soldiers in the city, but some civilians with indifferent expressions. Hao Miluo was also among the team entering the city. Seeing this, he hurriedly rode his horse to a city wall tower, and rushed to the top of the tower in a few steps.

In the distance, in the bay of the Indus River, you can vaguely see the shadows of the Viking ships. The deputy general who followed Hao Miluo scolded: "Liang Jun slipped faster than a rabbit, and we lost again. General, what should we do next?"

Hao Miluo silently and pondered secretly. After Hao Miluo led the army southward, the Liang army avoided fighting. But they did not retreat directly to the mouth of the river, but once the Kushan army stopped, they stopped, and the Kushan army took action. This tactic sounds easy, but in fact, without the powerful scout reconnaissance ability, it would be impossible.

However, the scouts of Zhang Ren's army were very elite, and the Indus River plain was endless and the forests were sparse, which made it very convenient for the scouts to observe the enemy situation, so the Kushan army was repeatedly lost.

Hao Miluo, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke: "It seems that we have to use a dangerous move..."

When Hao Miluo's large group of men discovered Zhang Ren's army again, they stopped and confronted the camp of Zhang Ren's army from afar. At the same time, a huge cavalry unit following Hao Miluo's main force turned around and made a big detour towards the lower reaches of the Indus River. Due to the long distance, unless the Liang army still had scouts behind Hao Miluo's rear, it would be impossible to discover the actions of this huge cavalry unit.

Hao Miluo kept praying in his heart that Zhang Ren should not go out in advance, otherwise his thoughts would be wasted. What he didn't know was that the generals in Zhang Ren's camp also had a debate on the next action.

Most generals believed that the mission has been completed and as a solitary army, they will continue to stay in the hinterland of Kushan for a long night and dream. They should return to the mouth of the Indus River as soon as possible to meet with Lin Tao's fleet.

But some other generals believed that the withdrawal of Kushan hinterland at this time and leaving contact with Hao Miluo's army might arouse Hao Miluo's suspicion, causing him to return to the army immediately and return to Xingguan before the Liang army in Xingguan conquers the Kush Pass in Xingdu.

In the end, Zhang Ren decided to continue to delay Hao Miluo's army for a while. He believed that the success or failure of his army was much less important than the overall situation of Xingguan's gains and losses.

Just when Hao Miluo and Zhang Ren confronted north and south on the west bank of the Indus River, the Kushan cavalry of more than 3,000 cavalry had quietly arrived at the bank of the Indus River located downstream of Zhang Ren's army. They also crossed the iron ropes that had been prepared before departure on the river, and arranged assault heavy-armed cavalry with cavalry archers and men and horses on both sides of the river.

Hao Miluo was overjoyed when he heard that his surprise soldier arrived at the designated location as promised. He immediately ordered the entire army to launch a general attack on Zhang Ren camp.

As before, Hao Miluo's men and horses had just taken action. Zhang Ren knew that he would still have the same response. Infantry boarded the ship, cavalry boarded the horse, and continued to retreat downstream in parallel. Hao Miluo looked at their backs and couldn't help but sneer, and said in his heart: "It seems that you are all going to die in this Indus River and become sacrifices dedicated to Lord Shiva!"

...

A turbid stream of water flowed through the land full of ridges. The fields had long been deserted, turning the earth into a field again. A sail shadow flashed on the water surface at the river bay, followed by another, two... At the same time, several light horses passed through the wormwood on the river bank, alarming a few birds.

The horse knight was still squatting on the shoulders of the hawks, and they ignored the birds rising from the sky. These people were naturally the scouts of Liang's army, and they were conducting routine alert patrols in front of the army.

Two hours later, they suddenly stopped stance at the same time. On the distant skyline, the tent flags were already vaguely visible, and they were obviously not Liang Jun himself.

"Hurry up, go back and report this enemy situation to the general...ah!" Before the scout could finish his words, the scout let out a scream. A dozen arrows shot at them in large numbers, one of which shot through the scout's ears. At the same time, dozens of war cavalry had already rushed out of the nearby woods, and those patrol cavalry were obviously the Kushan army.

"Retreat! Retreat!" The scout leader roared. Everyone's war horses had already turned around. At this time, the whip kept falling on the horse's buttocks. Several riders fled to the way like arrows off the strings. The Kushan cavalry chased for a while but did not catch up, but they found the shadow of the Viking sail in the Indus River. Then they ran to their camp to report the situation to their generals.

When Zhang Ren learned about this, he suddenly realized why Hao Miluo stayed for many days without any action. At this time, Zhang Ren's army was intercepted and pursued soldiers behind him, and he was immediately in a dilemma of being attacked by front and back.

Zhang Ren hurriedly asked his personal soldiers to spread the map. He looked carefully and looked at it carefully. The generals also poked their heads out and discussed it in a talk. Some said they wanted to abandon the ship and land, and bypass the Kushan Army's blockade, while others said they wanted to rush to break through the Kushan Army's blockade. But in Zhang Ren's opinion, neither of these were feasible.

According to common sense, the only thing that can implement such a large detour is the cavalry unit. Therefore, it is impossible to quickly overcome the enemy's war horses if the infantry abandons the ship and lands, and mix with the cavalry.

If you attack hard, you will probably have more than 3,000 to 5,000 cavalry to intercept your Kushan cavalry, and your cavalry troops on the shore are less than 1,000. Even if the Liang cavalry is elite, such a huge gap in military strength, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not be defeated after the battle. What's more, the Kushan cavalry is not vegetarian. They also have bows and cavalry who are good at arching and shooting at horses, and they also have heavy cavalry with both men and horses. Once the cavalry on the shore is destroyed, the infantry in the water will be blocked by the iron cables on the river, becoming a turtle in the jar, and finally the entire army will be destroyed.

Beads of sweat as big as beans rolled down Zhang Ren's forehead. He had to come up with a way to get rid of the enemy's encirclement and blockade, otherwise he and his corps would be in danger of being wiped out.

A thought flashed through Zhang Ren's mind, and he repeatedly deduced it several times. Although he was not sure, he could only treat it as a dead horse. Zhang Ren immediately ordered: "Transfer our military orders and build a floating bridge immediately in this section of the river!"

The generals surrounding him were surprised. Their chief general thought for a long time, but he wanted to do such a meaningless thing?

A general reminded in a puzzled tone: "General, the pursuers can arrive in about half a day. If the enemy soldiers blocked in front take the initiative to attack, they can arrive in more than an hour. Why do we have to spend time building a floating bridge now? We don't need to cross the river now, even if we want to cross the river, we still have a boat."

"I don't have time to explain to you. This is a military order. If you want to build a floating bridge, you can build it!"
