However, now we can no longer see the lively scenes of the past. The empty Juma Bridge is full of birds. Although the checkpoints used for tax collection on both sides of the bridge were guarded by soldiers, they were all listless at this time. After all, no one was passing through, so they could not get any oil and water. Moreover, the weather is hot now, and there are many mosquitoes by the river. After standing by the river for a night, there are no gains except being covered with tinkers.

The sun was rising, and the lanterns on both sides of the Juma Bridge also rose. The soldiers guarding the bridge were barely vigilant in the first half of the night, but in the second half of the night, they also started to doze. As for the soldiers on the Juma City behind them, most of them were less. After all, the Liao Kingdom had been so comfortable for too long. Even though many troops were drawn, most of them still had no sense of crisis.

At the same time, ten miles south of the Juma Bridge, a small number of cavalry were moving forward rapidly, but their horses were wrapped in cotton cloth, which made the sound of running a lot. However, if they were close, you could still hear the sound of horses' hooves like muffled thunder.

And a few miles behind this cavalry, there is a larger army. The soldiers in this army are different from ordinary soldiers. They are wearing armor and their weapons are unique. They are just a long iron pipe behind them. If someone with insight is here, they will definitely recognize at a glance that this army is the musket army that was not long established in the Song Dynasty.

Cao Ma and Hu Yan Shouxin rode on the horse and commanded the army to sneak quietly. Juma City was originally on the border between Song and Liao. Cao Ma and the others received the order to go out of the war yesterday afternoon. They came to Juma City more than ten miles south of Juma City in just a few hours. I believe that they could definitely reach the city before dawn.

The cavalry in front was also sent by Cao Ma. When he was in the northwest, Cao Ma discovered that the cooperation between the cavalry and the musket army could exert greater power, so there were cavalry in the musket army, and their cavalry were also equipped with grenades, muskets and other firearms. The cavalry was used to put on horseback, and the musket army was used to put on horseback.

The cavalry in front was the vanguard sent by Cao Ma. Their order was to kill the city of Juma as fast as possible and seize the Juma Bridge. The cavalry also had a siege tube, so they had to blow up the city gate before the army arrived, so that Cao Ma's army could directly enter the city and capture the Juma City as fast as possible.

Before, Liu Ping had not ordered a war, and many people were wondering whether Liu Ping was timid. However, after discussing with Hu Yan Shuxin, Cao Mata and Hu Yan came to a conclusion that Liu Ping was probably preparing momentum. After all, the generals were eager to fight, but Liu Ping kept blocking them, which would only make the generals even more anxious. It was like blocking a dam in the river. When the river water turned into a flood, it would directly remove the dam, which would naturally allow the flood to flush everything.
