Bu Xie also took the first warship to cross the river first. As a pioneer, he naturally had to go to explore the way himself. After all, Bu Xie couldn't figure out what the situation was on the north bank of the Yangtze River at this moment. Only by landing in person can he see what it was.

The vanguard had 10,000 people, but the capacity of the ship was limited, and it could only carry about 7,000 people. The remaining 3,000 people were arranged by the Buxi Association to lead the deputy general Zuo Yi to wait for the arrival of Lu Kang on the wharf, take a step forward and go to the north shore to explore the way.

After leaving Wuchang, the Wu army had been walking on the southern route and had no idea about the situation on the northern route. If the Wei army rushed to the opposite side of Baqiu and set up an ambush, then after the Wu army crossed the entire army, wouldn't it be that the Wei army's ambush circle with one foot?

Therefore, the Bus Association's first ferry exploration is extremely important. Only after it is discovered that there is indeed no ambush from the Wei army on the north bank, can the large army be allowed to cross the river.

The water flows smoothly on the river surface. The Yangtze River is in Jingzhou, and it is called Jingjiang. Jingzhou is known as the nine-curved ileum. Not only is the river path narrow and curved, but the drop is small. Every flood season, floods often occur. Lakes of all sizes on both sides of the Yangtze River and the vast Yunmengze are formed by the long-term flooding of Jingjiang River.

Baqiu is an extremely important ferry crossing in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River and an important transportation hub connecting east, west, south and north. Therefore, Lu Kang chose this as the crossing point for crossing the Yangtze River north.

But no matter where you cross the river, you must ensure that there is no Wei army team on the other side, because once the Wei army appears on the other side, the Wu army will never be able to cross the river successfully. As the Bu Xie is the pioneer, he naturally has to explore the road first. If there is really a Wei army on the other side, then the score will be treated.

If the other side of the shore is just a small group of Wei troops, the Infantry Association will launch a forcibly landing attack and open up a deep beachhead for the large army.

If a large number of Wei troops guarded the Jiang defense, the Bing Xie could only retreat when they saw the difficulties. Landing operations were originally the most difficult combat mode, and the difficulty was even no less than that of siege combat. Especially in the situation where Wei Qiang and Wu Wu were in trouble, it was basically impossible for the Wu army to thrust the teeth.

Mengchong battleship took the lead and rushed to the front. When approaching the shore, Bu Xie carefully looked at the situation at the opposite ferry to see if there was any ambush from the Wei army.

At this time, there was no one on the North Bank Ferry. Bu Xie did not act rashly, but sent a small team of scouts to the shore and launched a reconnaissance in depth. The scouts were originally scouts, and they were seen in the most dangerous places.

However, after the scouts went deep into Jiangbei, they did not find any abnormal situation, nor could they see any Wei army, and then reported the situation to Bu Xie.

Bu Xie then secretly breathed a sigh of relief and ordered all the people to abandon the ship and land. Wu army flocked out, and some ships could jump ashore smoothly, while more ships were just parked on the periphery. Fortunately, the water was not too deep, Wu soldiers jumped off the ship one after another, waded waist-deep water, and rushed to the shore.

After landing, the BFA ordered all troops to advance in depth and seize the commanding heights. Even if there is no trace of the Wei army, they should not be careless. Their responsibility is to control the beachhead and create conditions for the subsequent main forces to cross the river.

After all the vanguards arrived ashore, Bu Xie ordered all ships to turn around and pick up people. At this time, the main force led by Lu Kang had already arrived in Baqiu. Bu Xie personally sat on the north bank and waited for Lu Kang to cross the river.

All the warships and fishing boats returned to the Nanban Ferry one after another. As Bu Xie expected, Lu Kang had led his main force to Baqiu at this moment, and Zuo Yi and Xu Chun hurried forward to greet him.

Lu Kang briefly inquired about the situation and knew that Bu Xie had led 7,000 people to cross the river first. Lu Kang nodded slightly. This was originally what he planned, and there was no surprise. Lu Kang and Shi Ji rushed to the ferry directly, waiting for Bu Xie to send the news back.

Lu Kang didn't wait too long, and the ships on the river were coming all over the river, which also brought Lu Kang a good news, that is, no trace of the Wei army was found on the north bank of the river, and everything went smoothly.

This was not beyond Lu Kang's expectations. After all, the Jianghan Plain on the north bank was almost all rivers, lakes and swamps. Compared with the official road on the south bank, the road there was nothing worse. If the Wei army sent troops from Wuchang to pursue from the north and south at the same time, the army on the north route would be much slower than the army on the south route, so it was reasonable that the Wei army did not block the north of Baqiu at this moment.

This is a complete benefit for the Wu army. As long as they go north from Baqiu, they can enter Yunmengze. The muddy road is definitely a nightmare for the Wei cavalry. The Wu army, who is familiar with geography, can easily get rid of the Wei army's pursuit. In Yunmengze, that is the Wu army's home court, and they can fully exert their combat effectiveness.

At this time, all warships and fishing boats began to dock, and Lu Kang immediately ordered that all troops cross the river in batches.

The first to board the ship was the three thousand remaining people from the vanguard. Leaded by Zuo Yi, they would take the lead on board and meet with the squadron who had crossed the river, advance intermittently in depth, and open up a road for the main force to advance towards Jiangling.

Compared to being the vanguard on the South Road, their responsibilities will be more difficult after entering Yunmengze. Many sections of the road are flooded by floods and are even unpassable. The main task of the Binghui Association is to open roads and build roads to facilitate the passage of the main force.

Of course, in addition to the vanguard, the follow-up troops must also be rushed to cross the river. The pursuers from both sides of the Wei army were behind him. God knew when they would arrive. Only by crossing the river as soon as possible can the Wu army rest assured.

Under the command of Lu Kang, the troops began to board the ship in an orderly manner. After a ship was full, they set off immediately and headed towards the north shore. There were endless ships on the river and endless streams.

The troops that were not yet on the turn were resting and waiting in the back, and many people even took a nap. After all, they marched along the way, stayed overnight in the morning and didn't sleep well for several nights. Everyone's eyes were red. Seizing this time, they could make up for a small sleep and regain their energy and energy.

Just as many Wu soldiers were snoring, a terrified shout suddenly came: "The pursuers are here!"
