Although Sima Lun witnessed the crossbow flying stone ship with his own eyes, he knew these warships well. They were amazing, and they were indeed amazing! Although Sima Jun concentrated a lot of talents to find the flaws and weaknesses of the crossbow flying stone ship, he finally said disappointedly that they were really powerless. With Sima Jun’s existing conditions, they were really unable to crack the crossbow flying stone ship.

Therefore, when deploying the Pubanjin defense line, Simalun basically gave up the defense of the shore and embankment and turned to the defense in the deep area. No matter how powerful the crossbow flying stone ship is, it can only show its might on the water surface. Its range of stone bullets is limited after all. As long as the Sima army retreats a large number of troops outside the range of the throwing car, its attack will have no meaning.

It seems that the warships of the Bingzhou Army are in place, and next, the floating bridge will be built. Although there is no sign of the floating bridge on the river surface, Sima Lun keenly discovered that there were a lot of wooden boards piled up in the Bingzhou Army's camp. It is obvious that the Bingzhou Army is already preparing to build the floating bridge. It is estimated that in a few days, the Bingzhou Army will complete the construction of the floating bridge and officially enter the attack.

Sima Lun stood by the river and looked at the other side in a daze. Pubanjin's battle touched everyone's nerves. This was a battle that Sima Lun could not afford. Once he failed, the entire Guanzhong defense line collapsed instantly, and the Sima family was completely cold.

Although Simalun had built a very strong defense line in Pubanjin and mobilized 100,000 elite troops to guard it, no matter what happened, Pubanjin could not be lost.

But war is never shifted by human will. Winning and defeat are often only a line of separation. Even a famous general cannot determine the success or failure of the battle, let alone Sima Lun, who has no practical experience in his new career.

Facing a terrible opponent like Cao Liang, Sima Shi couldn't even win. Now that the overall situation is settled, Sima Lun was pushed to the front desk, but can he really be competent for this task of turning the tide?

Simalun stood on the river bank and stood for a long time. At this time, Zhong Hui heard the news of Simalun's arrival and quickly ran from the central army tent to the riverside, bowed and said, "General, the wind is strong by the river, you should go back to the camp to rest."

Sima Lun's eyes still did not leave the other side and said lightly: "General Zhong, look at this battle, how sure are we to win?"

Zhong Hui hesitated for a moment and said, "I think it's time to open the five-five."

Sima Lun turned around, looked at Zhong Hui, and smiled calmly and said, "General Zhong, you are too optimistic. In my opinion, our chances of winning should be no more than 30%.

Zhong Hui glanced around and lowered his voice to Sima Lun, "General, it is better not to let the soldiers hear this, as it may hurt morale."

Zhong Hui generally agrees with the 30% probability that Sima Lun said, but this statement can only be understood and not expressed in words. If it spreads in the army, it will probably cause great fluctuations in the Sima army. Even the generals don’t have much confidence in this battle. How can you let ordinary soldiers feel?

Sima Lun smiled disapprovingly. When he talked to Zhong Hui, there were only his personal soldiers and confidants around him. Ordinary soldiers must be at least ten feet away from him. Because Sima Lun has a noble status, God knows that there are spies and assassins in the Sima army who are hidden in the Bingzhou army. If they get too close, wouldn't Sima Lun have any worries about his life?

So, of course, Simalun was not worried that his words would be revealed. The reason why he said this was to be heart-warming with Zhong Hui. Although Simalun believed that their chances of winning were not high, if he had one percent hope, he would definitely make 100% effort. This is beyond doubt.

It was not much different from Simalun's inference. A few days later, the Bingzhou army began to build pontoon bridges. At the same time, there were as many as six pontoon bridges under construction, which were twice as many as in the Battle of Baimajin last year. Obviously, the Bingzhou army also realized that this was a tough battle. By building more pontoon bridges, more troops could be transported to the other side at the same time to launch a larger-scale attack.

The six floating bridges are like six giant dragons lying across the surface of the Yellow River. They are moving in unison and are constructed at a rapid speed. They just had a head emerging yesterday, but today they are close to the center of the river.

The war was about to break out, and the Sima army fell into unprecedented tension. All the troops had entered a level one combat readiness and could be put into battle at any time.

Just looking at the six long dragons extending towards the heart of the river has already brought serious oppression to the Sima Army, not to mention the hundreds of crossbow flying stone ships gathered on the river. This terrifying scene alone has already made people feel suffocating. With such powerful power, no wonder the Sima Army was defeated so miserably in the Battle of Baimajin. Compared with these terrifying machines, it is simply insignificant and insignificant, and there is no comparison at all.

Zhong Hui even ordered that except for the shore defense team, other troops stayed in designated areas to prepare for war and did not get peeped by the river. The more you saw, the bigger the shadow would be in your heart, which would have a great impact on the morale of the army.

Zhong Hui placed Pubanjin's defense focus on the depths of Linjin Pass. The Sima army in the rear did not understand the situation ahead, so he naturally would not feel afraid. Even though the rumors were rumored that the Bingzhou army was very powerful, it was ultimately true to see and hear. Zhong Hui did not give them the opportunity to contact the Bingzhou army's warships, which was to avoid shaking the morale of the army.

When the floating bridge was built across the heart of the river and entered the range of Sima Jun's crossbow, the construction speed slowed down. Then all the crossbow flying stone cars that were docked on the east bank of the Yellow River set sail and drove towards the west bank.

Soon, stones were flying like clouds and crossbow arrows were pouring towards the Sima Army's shore defense position. The suppression of Sima Army could only hide in the fortifications, and even dared to show their heads. As long as they showed their heads a little, they might be either smashed by the flying stones or penetrated by the crossbow arrows. In short, the attacks of the Bingzhou Army were quite dense, and once the Sima Army had no chance to fight back, all the firepower on the shore defense was suppressed by the Bingzhou Army in an instant.

The Bingzhou Army has formed a complete set of skillful fighting styles. The biggest function of the crossbow flying stone ship is to cover the construction of the floating bridge, and secondly, it is to effectively attack the defense targets of the Sima Army to kill and injure the Sima Army personnel. After the construction of the floating bridge was suspended, as the crossbow stone covered the Sima Army's position, the construction of the floating bridge was accelerated again and extended rapidly to the opposite shore.
