The old whistle chief looked at the more than 600 people who had retreated from him in a daze. They were like the old whistle chief, and they were full of frustration and even despair at this moment. A total of 1,000 people went one after another to attack the small position. Nearly 400 people fell in front of the formation, with a total casualty rate of 40%, while the low defense line still stood in front of them like iron cast.

The old whistleman had been through many battles, and had scarred on the battlefield. He had never shrunk and retreated on the battlefield. He had always wanted to move forward bravely. But today, he had a desire to retreat early for the first time. The spears that were neatly stabbed out rose and fell one after another like surging waves, and it seemed that the soldiers fell before the position during the stabbing time and time again. What scared him even more was that the expressionless faces seemed to be not a war, but just a practice, but the target in front was replaced by a living person.

The golden horn behind him felt relieved and immediately issued a retreat order, but the price was that all the soldiers who rushed through the first position were killed. The attack was not easy, and it was even more difficult to escape without any hesitation.

Zhong Zhen did not blame the old commander for his unfavorable attack. He clearly saw the entire war. It was not that he was not brave, but that the enemy was too strong.

He paid the price of five or six hundred casualties, but he had not even touched the hair of Xiushui River Bridge.

"Let's get here today! Set up camp, bury pots, make rice, officers above the lieutenant, arrive at the Central Army's tent meeting!" Zhong Zhen looked at the Xiushui River Bridge in the distance and breathed out a breath of turbid air.

He was originally planning to camp after crossing the river. The defensive position of 500 people was not visible at all, but now, this small bridgehead has become a roadblock in front of him.

We must come up with other ways, otherwise even if we take down the Xiushui River Bridge, the 10,000 vanguard army will have to pay thousands of people. Then our troops will be destroyed. What is the meaning of taking down the bridge?

In the tube building of Xiushui River Bridge, Wang Lingbo, the doctor of the army, looked a little pale. It was the first time he saw the two armies fighting each other at such a close distance. He witnessed the life and death of people as cheap as a dog. In front of the Ming army's positions, the enemy's corpses were piled up high, and the death was strange.

Fortunately, the Ming army suffered very few casualties, more than 40 people were injured and ten people died in battle. At this moment, the body of the dead had been moved to the other side of the river, and the minor injured had been dealt with. At this moment, a serious injury was lying in front of him.

This man was in bad luck. When the enemy retreated, he leaned out from behind the defense line, raised his arms and cheered. He did not want a Qin army officer who was injured and undead under the low wall to seize this opportunity, gave him a fierce knife, and completely cut off his entire left forearm.

The Qin officer was naturally poked into a sieve by the angry Ming soldiers, but the captain Zhang Yu was furious. In his opinion, this was completely unnecessary war damage. The soldier lost his left arm and could no longer hold the spear. The only thing waiting for him was retirement. This matter was immediately treated as a negative teaching material and was repeatedly warned in the whole team.

Don't be discouraged when you fail, and don't be proud when you win.

His arm was broken, so he naturally took it back and forth. Wang Lingbo could only stop the bleeding for him, suture the wound, and apply ointment. The wounded soldier who had been fighting on the defense line for half a day was crying sadly at this moment. He knew very well that he was about to leave the army.

Rows of soldiers stood on the bridge, covered in blood. Buckets were thrown into the water from the bridge. The river water was lifted up and poured on the soldiers with a clatter. Immediately, the red blood flowed down from the body. After repeated this several times, no longer the red blood flowed out. The group of people retreated and the other group stood up again.

Tienniu was looking for his own arrows on the battlefield. These arrows were specially made armor-piercing arrows. If they were not found, one would be missing. Some soldiers were cleaning up the corpses of the enemy on the battlefield. This time, they threw the dead bodies into the Xiushui River without hesitation. The river water surging, and in an instant they rushed downstream with these corpses.

Chang Yonggang hung one end of his meteor hammer into the river, shaking and cleaning the blood and flesh on it. Around him, Zhang Yu was cleaning the blood on his body with the help of a soldier.

"What about the calmness before the storm!" Washed both hammers clean, lifted them up and tied them to their waists, and looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Person Zhang, it's getting dark today. Do you think the Qin people will attack at night?"

"No!" Zhang Yu said with certainty, "How big is our territory? Is it necessary to attack the sneak attack?"

"If they send some people with good water and good martial arts cultivation to float down from the upstream and climb up along these bridge piers? There are 10,000 enemies, and it is not difficult to find a group of people with good martial arts cultivation from it. If they get around behind us, it will be troublesome. Or will they fight for woodcutting overnight and forcefully cross part of the river?" Chang Yonggang proposed one possibility after another.

Zhang Yu frowned, "Mr. Chang said the first possibility, I really need to be alert. But I'm not worried about forcing a group of people to cross the river and then attacking us from behind."

"Why is this?" Chang Yonggang was worried about the second one.

"The water is so big, even if they can force some wooden lords to cross the river, on the other side, we still have a cavalry ambushed where we are waiting for them to pass like this. Once they have passed, before they can stand firm, the cavalry rushed over, either as a ghost or jump into the river to feed fish." Zhang Yu smiled, "To put it bluntly, it is just a pit. If he doesn't divide his troops and attacks us honestly, he will die slower. If he dares to divide his troops to cross the river, he will die faster."

"But five hundred people are still a little less." Chang Yonggang said: "In the battle today, more than forty brothers cannot fight. Tomorrow, I am afraid that the enemy's offensive will be more fierce."

"There will be support." Zhang Yu whispered: "We only need to hold on for another day or two. Now the main force is not on the center line, and it will take a little time for the follow-up troops to come from Hulao."

"I feel relieved if there are reinforcements." Chang Yonggang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Chang, I'm afraid I'll bother you tonight. The first possibility you mentioned just now is, the more I think about it, the more reasonable it makes." Zhang Yu said.

"It's covered by me. Just rest with confidence. If you really dare to come here, I'm enough." Chang Yonggang said.

"That's good. Tie Niu, Tie Niu!" Zhang Yu shouted loudly.

The iron cow who had just recovered his armor-breaking arrows ran over happily, "Captain."

"Tonight, you will follow Mr. Chang on duty and follow Mr. Chang's arrangements." Zhang Yu ordered.

"Are there any rats piercing?" Tie Niu's eyes suddenly shone.

"Maybe there may be a water mouse." Zhang Yu smiled and said, "By the way, don't use armor-breaking arrows, just use ordinary arrows. If you use armor-breaking arrows, you will not be able to catch them back when you fall into the river."

"That's, there is no need for a piercing mouse to do anything like armor-breaking arrows. I'll aim their heads and shoot them." Tie Niu smiled honestly.

As night fell, the Xiushui River Bridge became quiet, and the Qin army camp not far away also became quiet. A piece of light was like stars, but there were only two lonely angrily stormed on the tube building, shaking gently with the wind.

Chang Yonggang sat cross-legged on the bridge deck, and under his butt was the bridge pier, while Tien Niu was lying on the railing, staring at the river surface with wide eyes. Chang Yonggang is a master at level 9, with his eyesight far beyond ordinary people. Even in the dark, he could see clearly. Tien Niu was a sharp archer, so his eyesight was naturally extraordinary. Although he was not as good as Chang Yonggang, with the help of the faint starlight in the sky, he could still tell whether it was a human or something floating on the river surface.

Time passed quietly, Tie Niu became more and more sleepy, and finally fell asleep in a daze. Many years had passed, but his butt suddenly hurt, but a small stone came over from Chang Yonggang on the side and hit his butt.

"Here you come!" Chang Yonggang's eyes were bright.

Tie New's sleepiness suddenly disappeared. He lifted the iron-tied bow, pulled an arrow in his hand, and widened his eyes and searched the river surface. At this time, Chang Yonggang was like a snake, slipping along the wall to the bridge pier, squatting in the shadow and peeking at the river surface.

I saw a titan ox who was very energetic, and his knee was brittle, and his iron arch slowly pulled it slowly, aiming at the swaying head in the river.

"Go to die!" He whispered, and his hands were relaxed, and the feather arrow flew out like lightning.

In fact, at this moment, there was not only a fierce battle on both sides of the Xiushui River. There were several other important places. The war broke out, which was far more dangerous than the Xiushui River Bridge. Due to the terrain, a few troops could be guarded by the Xiushui River Bridge. However, in the other place, there was a fierce battle against the wheat. The Qin army forced its way through the Ming army, and the Ming army guarded it. The force of troops invested was tens of thousands.

The front line was formed into a group, and Hulao Guanzhong was also busy. Countless military rations and materials gathered here from the Ming Dynasty, and then divided into several transportation teams from the Hulao to distribute them to the front line. As soon as the war began, the silver and money flowed like a flood. Usually, Su Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue could not wish to make a penny of petals into two petals, but now he didn't blink. With a big brow, a large amount of silver flowed out.
