It was precisely because of the protective power of shields and armor that the Wei army's bamboo raft team successfully completed the landing and flocked to the shore.

The shore of the bamboo raft is very barbaric and rude. Since the bamboo raft does not have an anchor like a ship, if you want to stop the raft, you must hold the pole in front of you in the opposite direction to achieve it.

But now all bamboo rafts are rushing towards the shore at the maximum speed. If the oar hand in front wants to brake urgently, it is hard to say that it cannot stop with such a large inertia. Moreover, even if they brake urgently, it will inevitably cause a series of collisions between the bamboo rafts behind.

Therefore, when considering the way to land, the Wei army had formulated a method to rush directly to the shore early in the morning, that is, the oar hand in front did not need to brake at all, and just needed to control the direction of the bamboo rafts. All the first row of bamboo rafts rushed to the shore directly, and then all the crew immediately landed on the shore and launched a full-scale attack on the Wu army's position.

As for the bamboo rafts in the back row or the two rows of the back rows, they directly crashed into the bamboo rafts in front, and the Wei soldiers behind them stepped on the bamboo rafts in front to land, followed closely behind to attack the Wu army's positions.

In order to boost morale, Yang Hu deliberately set up several super-large war drums by the river. When the bamboo raft team launched the final sprint towards the position on the other side, Yang Hu also ordered the drummer to beat the war drums at the right time, and the rhythmic rumbling drum beats resounded on the river.

When you hear the drum, you will advance, when you hear the gold, you will retreat. The drum sound is the best signal. The intense drum sound can often make the attacking soldiers' blood veins rise and their fighting spirit is high. The Wei soldiers shouted loudly at this moment, rushed down the bamboo raft like swarming, and rushed up to the beach on the bank of the river.

At this moment, the Wei soldiers were full of energy and fighting spirit. The Wei soldiers who were holding poles were originally spearmen. After the bamboo raft was docked, they abandoned the poles and picked up the guns, and together with the sword and shield soldiers, crossbow soldiers, rushed to the river bank and rushed towards the Wu army's position.

The first line of defense of the Wu army was only a few dozen steps away from the bank of the river. It can be said that after the Wei army landed, they only needed to hold their breath and rushed to the front of the Wu army.

When Tao Kang saw that the archers alone would definitely not be able to stop the Wei army's attack. He could not let the Wei army break through the Wu army's defense line, so Tao Kang immediately ordered the Wu army to attack on the entire line and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Wei army, and at all costs, he would continue the offensive momentum of the Wei army.

Soon the two sides fought together. The Wei army's first wave of landing troops had about two thousand people, of which about half of the sword and shield soldiers accounted for one-third, and one-sixth of the spear soldiers. Once they were trapped in close combat, the Wei army's number proportion was relatively suitable for close combat.

However, the Wu army had a clear advantage in terms of number of people. Even among the 10,000 defenders, half were archers, but there were 5,000 troops in close combat. Under Tao Kang's order, these spearmen and sword and shield soldiers also broke out from their positions and fought with the Wei army on the bank of the river. The two sides were killed in the darkness and corpses were everywhere.

Although there is a gap in military strength between the two sides, the Wei army is a little higher than the Wu army in terms of equipment and light combat tests, and their combat effectiveness is naturally better. Therefore, although the number of Wei army is relatively small, after the two sides fought, the Wei army was not at all inferior. Instead, the more they fought, the more brave they became, killing the Wu army retreated, and they gradually stood firm on the shore.

Soon, the second and third waves of bamboo rafts of the Wei army also arrived. The entire river bank was densely filled with bamboo rafts, all crowded together. The Wei soldiers only needed to step on the bamboo rafts to rush to the shore and join the fierce battle.

As the Wei army continued to invest its troops, the situation on the battlefield began to tilt towards the Wei army.

Although it was landing operations and the Wei army had first and later on the delivery of troops, the well-trained Wei army did not cause disarray in the team. Even if only a few hundred people landed at the same time, they could form a corresponding team. Even if the chaotic battle scenes were not affected, the formation of the Wei army would not affect the formation.

In this kind of hand-to-hand combat, it is actually particularly important to maintain the integrity of the formation. The various arms of the Wei army fought together and protected each other, which is much better than fighting alone.

In normal attacks, are the spearmen not on the front line? Although the attack power of the spears is stronger, because the defensive ability of the spears is relatively weak, once they fall into the enemy's siege, they are easily surrounded and killed by the enemy.

Therefore, the Wei army's battle formation often ranks the sword and shield soldiers at the forefront, first make good defense, and then wait for an opportunity to launch an attack. Although the sword and shield soldiers are in front, the impact of the Wei army will be weaker and the propulsion speed will be slower, it can reduce the casualties of the Wei army to the lowest level. Moreover, this kind of advancement is quite solid, even if it is a step forward, it is real.

The spearmen were arranged on both sides, and the crossbowmen were in the center. Whenever there was a chance, the spearmen and crossbowmen would take action.

The sword and shield soldiers themselves are not a purely defensive type of troops, but both offensive and defensive. The ring-headed swords in the hands of the sword and shield soldiers are not vegetarian. When they use shields to defend, they will also seize the opportunity and use a knife to hit the key points of the Wu soldiers.

The spearmen's short-range attack power is the strongest. Targets within one meter are within their attack range. The crossbow soldiers are responsible for medium-range attacks. They hide behind the sword and shield soldiers, and rely on the cover given by the sword and shield soldiers, and can also exert the power of the crossbow in close combat to effectively kill the Wu army at medium and long distances.

The Wei army's combat formation was tight and orderly. For larger ones, hundreds of people could form a square formation, smaller ones, dozens of people could still maintain a relatively complete formation even if there were only six people.

Whether it is a large formation or a small formation, the Wei army's organization is very strict, and according to the changes in the situation on the battlefield, the small formations can be combined into large formations, and the large formations are divided into small formations, which are maneuverable and flexible, varying, and do not stick to a kind of battle formation, and they can change them flexibly and freely.

On the other hand, the Wu army originally had an organization and a combat sequence, but under the impact of the Wei army, some battle formations soon became fragmented. Many Wu soldiers mostly used the battle mode of fighting on their own.

In this way, the Wu army, which was fighting scatteredly, could not be the opponent of the orderly organized Wei army. Many Wu soldiers were strangled by the Wei army on the battlefield. Most of the Wu soldiers could not resist the attack of the Wei army at first sight, so they could only retreat one after another, and the battlefield situation also showed a one-sided situation.
