Chapter 836 Crossing the river!(2/2)
The Xianbei people on the other side of the river looked a little pale when they saw it. They were neither advancing nor retreating.
"Suotou, old maid!" Ji, the leader of the building, put his hands on his hips and pointed at the country like a general: "You are stupider than the donkey at home!"
"Building owner, what do you mean?" someone asked jokingly.
"With the pots and jars, I can't bear to run away." Ji Shou pointed to the open fields on the other side of the river between the Sanggan River and the water, and said: "Look, there are farmland, mulberry and hemp, and houses and houses. Stay here.
Once you get used to it, you won’t want to live chasing water and grass anymore.”
"The owner of the building is absolutely right." Someone said with emotion: "According to me, it is better to resort to the old trick of the rope head, abandon all belongings, lure the enemy deep, surround us in the wilderness further north, and then send the spirit
Riding south to the Yin Pavilion, I tried to find a way to seize this grain storage place."
"They don't dare." Ji Shou said contemptuously: "If we retreat here, the king will directly go to Cucumber Dui. There is Xinping City in Cucumber Dui, do we want to retreat? Xinping City retreats, do we want to retreat to Pingcheng?"
?”
"The old maid is dead!" Everyone laughed and their morale was high.
Some even took the initiative to put bowstrings around their necks and looked at the Xianbei people from a distance, seeming to threaten to hang them with bowstrings.
"Crash!" The two wooden boats were put into the water one after another.
The craftsmen rushed forward and used bamboo buttons to firmly insert them together.
"Quick, quick, quick! I'm going to cross the river today."
Maybe it was because the weather was too hot, and Ji Shou was very anxious, so he took off his shirt and exposed his breasts.
"Hurry! I want to cross the river!" The soldiers of Ji Shouzhuang, who served as the first wave of commandos, were also eager to try and kept urging.
"Hurry up! Hurry up!" The craftsmen were perfunctory while cursing in their hearts: What a bunch of old maids!
When the sun turned west, most of the pontoon bridge had been built.
The Xianbei cavalry charged again, but were quickly repelled by the terrifying rifle-bow covering blows of the Silver Spear Army.
Looking from a distance, the grass on the other side of the river is filled with dense arrows.
More than a dozen human and horse corpses fell among them, and soon flies were attracted to them.
"Cross the river! Cross the river!" The silver spear soldiers who had finished lining up hit the ground with their rifle barrels, full of fighting spirit.
"Crash!" The last row of rafts was lowered.
The drummer and horn player had just finished their dinner, and after a little exercise, they went up to a high platform.
The sunset in the western sky was very beautiful. When the flag for dispatching troops was raised, the drummer raised his hammer with both hands and struck hard.
After the "dong dong" drum beat sounded, the silver gun soldiers on the river bank immediately burst into cheers.
Hundreds of soldiers divided into two columns and surged across the river.
Ji Hua took the lead and led a group of people to rush out for dozens of steps and then formed an array on the spot.
Soldiers and horses continued to arrive, and more and more people crossed the river.
The Xianbei people finally made some movement.
In the wilderness, two to three hundred silver cavalry rushed out from behind a forest.
Armored cavalry!
"Fuck this old maid to death!" Ji Shou, who didn't even wear armor, yelled.
"Fuck me to death!" The sergeants brought an extra-long rifle. The blade was tilted forward and the sharp end of the rifle was deeply inserted into the soil.
"Fuck me to death!" Someone else brought antlers and placed them on both sides.
A large number of silver spear warriors gathered on the other side of the river. Some were preparing to cross the river to support, while others drew their rifles and bows.
"Xilulu!" The auxiliary soldiers quickly pulled in seven or eight carriages. After placing them horizontally along the river, they began to load the crossbows and load arrows.
The armored cavalry rushed over with great momentum.
There were already four rows of long rifles nailed by the Silver Spear Army. Looking at the hedgehog-like formation, the Xianbei cavalry waved their horses and pushed the rifles stuck diagonally in the soil as much as possible, and then desperately ran into them.
.
"Crack!" The sound of breaking steps kept coming and going.
A few people were unlucky enough to be knocked off their horses, but the horses continued to charge forward, creating chaos.
Subsequently, dozens more cavalry rushed in, almost completely smashing the infantry formation set up by the Silver Spear Army, and then the momentum of the forward charge continued unabated, plowing deep trenches among the infantry, and bones were broken wherever they passed.
The tendons are broken, and the end is extremely cruel.
However, most of the armored cavalry did not see the water and disappeared into the crowd of infantry.
The crossbow machine on the other side of the river was firing non-stop. Occasionally, a crossbow bolt would pierce through the armor. If you were lucky, you could even kill two people.
The infantry bows were also firing continuously, but the effect was not particularly great. After the first wave of charging, the remaining twenty or so enemy horsemen were riddled with arrows and fled back in embarrassment.
The Silver Spear Army immediately reorganized, and subsequent reinforcements continued to cross the river.
When the enemy was about to launch a second wave of charges, several carriages passed through the pontoon bridge and crossed in front of the formation.
The enemy cavalry lingered for a long time and finally did not launch a charge - after failing the first time, they knew it was time to give up.
"Cross the river!" Another shout came from the south bank of the water, and soldiers one after another, one after another, passed the pontoon bridge and arrived at the north bank.
The enemy cavalry looked at it from a distance for a while, then turned and walked away.
Construction of the second floating bridge began overnight.
That night, hundreds of sidecars passed the first pontoon bridge and arrived at the other side.
On the early morning of the seventh day of June, Wang Queer issued an order to form a vehicle formation and marched towards the cucumber pile, overturning the rope head's lair.
At this time, in Langu County to the west, the cavalry of the General's Mansion, Peng Yinxi, who had been waiting for orders in the Chalu City area for a long time, finally received the order to attack.
At noon that day, he led more than 8,000 men, 20,000 horses, and ten days of rations. He left the Caocheng River, passed the old city of Loufan, and headed diagonally to the northeast. Then he passed through Mayi without entering, and went straight between Xinping and Pingcheng.
