At this time, the 70,000 yuan army and more than 100,000 war horses were all launched, and the river in front of them was densely packed with men and horses. The Yuan army rode on a swimming warhorse, drew a bow and shot arrows, and the arrows rained down.

The origins of these people are very diverse. The real Mongol soldiers were only 10,000 men. The most are Shui Dada, Bone Ghost, Hu Li Gai, followed by the Vulture, Ji Li Fan. There were even the Liaodong Han and Goryeo people of Huhua, as well as the Khitan and Bohai people.

But these people have one thing in common: they are fierce and brave.

"Boom!" The three-bullet small cannons equipped on the Tang army's warships were fired in succession, bombarding the dense Yuan army like a carp crossing the river, and the flesh and blood flew sideways.

Such sharp firearms terrified these barbarian tribes outside the gate, but this bit of damage was not enough to make them disperse.

In the blink of an eye, the Yuan army at the front had already made contact with the Tang army warship. The sailors on the ship tried their best to resist, but there were thousands of sailors on dozens of boats, where could they intercept tens of thousands of Yuan troops?

Many Yuan troops swam between the warships and went straight to the south bank, less than a mile!

At this distance, even without leather bags and war horses, tribal soldiers such as Shuidada can swim through.

"Quick! The Tartars have crossed the river! ”

Many of the people in the vicinity were mobilized, armed with bamboo guns and wooden sticks, and rushed to the river bank in a chaotic manner, making the number of young people on the bank reach tens of thousands.

Most of these young people are locals, and many of them were urgently invited by the county magistrate Wang Fusheng from neighboring counties. When the young men saw the dense Tartars riding across the river, they were all frightened and stunned on the spot.

It's really a shocking scene. They never dreamed that they would be able to cross the river in this way.

"Raise the lid and watch out for the arrows of the Tartars!" Wang Fusheng shouted, "Don't mess up, don't be afraid!" Her Royal Highness's army and the reinforcements of the sailors will arrive soon! Guys, block the riverbank, don't let the Tartars come ashore! ”

Tens of thousands of young men stepped forward in fear, raising the lid of the pot in one hand and a long bamboo gun in the other, blocking the obstacles on the river bank.

Nayan stood on the north bank, watching the 70,000 army cross the river, and couldn't help but show a smile. With a river less than two miles wide, where can it stop the leather bag from crossing the river?

His Mongol elite soldiers, only a few marched south. Most of the people who came this time were miscellaneous beards from other tribes, and if he won, he would have countless benefits, that is, if he lost, he would not be very distressed.

Outside the Saiwai, these turtles who have never seen the world are too much, and they are worth his distress?

Even if the army is completely wiped out, at least it can be exchanged for the Great Khan not cutting the domain. Not cutting the feudal domain is his biggest gain. He won't lose, but he just earns more and earns less.

He didn't cross the river, how precious was his life? Even if the army successfully crosses the river, he doesn't need to go over, it is enough to have a general to command the troops, and he doesn't need to do it himself.

"Oh ga!" The Shuida soldiers at the front, who were already close to the river bank at this time, let out a terrifying cry and shot the young men on the shore with arrows. Although they were in the middle of the river, they were shooting from their backs, but because of the dense rain of arrows, they immediately brought death to the young people.

Fortunately, the young men all brought pot lids, and many feather arrows were blocked by pot lids.

Sadly, the young men did not have bows and arrows to hit the Tartars near the riverbank, and many had to throw stones.

At this time, the Shuida soldiers at the front were only five zhang from the shore, and even their facial expressions could be seen clearly. Many of the Shuida soldiers took off their helmets and paddled in the water, revealing extremely ugly money rat tails and fierce and vicious faces, just like the Manchu Tartars of later generations.

Many of these people are the ancestors of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in later generations.

However, due to the fact that Wang Fusheng had organized the people to arrange a large number of obstacles on this section of the riverbank, coupled with the slope of the riverbank, it would be difficult for the Yuan cavalry to go ashore for a while.

In the end, tens of thousands of troops all swam over, secretly crowded there, all kinds of nonsense and nonsense were extremely noisy, and when the river breeze blew, a strong stench came to the nostrils, and the young people on the shore were extremely disgusted.

"Whoosh-" Dense feathered arrows rained down on the shore, and in the screams, I don't know how many people were killed and wounded.

"Ahh When a young man saw his companion being shot in the eye by a wolf's tooth arrow, his face turned pale with fright, and he screamed, so he threw down the bamboo spear and turned to run away.

Of course, he was not the only one who fled together, and at this time, hundreds of people shouted, turned around and fled.

"Don't run! Don't be afraid! The county commander Wang Fusheng shouted hoarsely, but more and more people fled, and he couldn't stop it.

Wang Fusheng's eyes were split, "Why be afraid of death!" Let the Tartars go ashore, what will happen to your parents and wives! Fight with the Tartars! ”

"Kill the Tartars!"

"Bad seeds! Don't run! Many brave and fearless young men also shouted loudly, and even many men roared angrily and raised their long bamboo spears and stabbed the tartars who came ashore.

"Whoosh!" The wolf's fangs and arrows of the Tartars were really ruthless and accurate at such a close distance, and hundreds of young men were shot in a moment.

"Ahh A Tartar who had climbed over the obstacle was pierced in the eye by a bamboo spear and tumbled into the river with a scream. But before the young man who assassinated him had time to rejoice, a feathered arrow shot into his heart, and he fell down with a muffled grunt.

"Kill the Tartars...", the county commander Wang Fusheng personally picked up a spear and stabbed the Tartars who came ashore, but before he could finish shouting to kill the Tartars, he was hit by several arrows.

"Whoosh-" The feather arrows of the Tartars greeted Wang Fusheng in official uniforms one after another, but the poor Wuhu County Order was shot into a hedgehog in an instant, and he couldn't die anymore.

Wang Fusheng is an old man from Haidong, originally a village leader, and he has only served as a county magistrate for more than half a year, but unfortunately today he spilled blood on the battlefield and died heroically.

"The county magistrate is dead!"

"Bitter also! Bitter also! ”

When many young and strong people saw Wang Fusheng die in battle, they were so frightened that their legs were weak, and they couldn't hold on anymore and threw away the bamboo spears and spears, shouted out, and fled backwards.

"Boom!" With a bang, the crowd on the shore exploded and fled.

And they are not to blame for it. They were originally the people who farmed the land and the citizens of the city, they had no training at all, they had never fought in battle, they had no armor and weapons, how could they not be afraid in the face of fierce tartars?

If you weren't afraid of this, then the Great Song Dynasty would not have died in the first place.

"Avenge the prefectural magistrates! Kill! ”

Although many people fled, there were still more than 3,000 young people who roared angrily and stabbed the Tartars on the shore with bamboo spears and spears, completely putting life and death out of the way.

Hundreds of Tang troops stationed in the county seats, as well as a smaller number of county police officers, also shot Tartars with bows and arrows. They are the only regular army in Wuhu County. But the number is so small that it doesn't help at all.

The sailors on the ship also desperately fired arrows and opened fire, and even rammed the Tartars with their boats, but they still could not stop the huge number of Tartars, and they also dropped to hundreds.

Although Wang Fusheng died in battle, and most of the young people fled, due to their desperate resistance and the resistance of obstacles, the Tartars could not successfully land for a while.

"Wow! Phew! Phew! Hai Dongqing, who was suddenly hovering in the air, let out three chirps and made another turning movement. Nai Yan and the others, who were watching the battle on the north shore, immediately changed their faces. "King Khan! Reinforcements from the enemy are coming! The falconer said to Naiyan, "There are no less than 30,000 in number, and there are no cavalry!" ”

Nayan stomped his feet and said, "Damn! ”

When the defense line on the riverbank was in jeopardy, Cui Xiuning finally rushed to the riverside with 30,000 villagers. The first thing that catches your eye is a phoenix flag and a big Tang flag.

"Woo woo woo-" The horn in the Tang army also came majestically.

Immediately afterwards, the Xiang Yong of the brigade wearing the armor of the Yuan Army, the Vietnamese Army, and the Japanese Army rushed down the river bank, lined up a two-mile-wide queue, and shouted to kill.

At the front, there is a female general in fiery red armor, and there are dozens of female generals behind her, riding horses!

Liu Jiulang, a county official in an official uniform, said loudly: "General Cui has arrived, don't be afraid!" ”

Why don't you say that the queen has arrived? Because there are a large number of Tartars on the riverbank, if Cui Xiuning's identity is revealed, it will bring danger to Cui Xiuning.

However, the young men all know that this female general is the queen Cui Xiuning. They knew before that Her Royal Highness would personally lead troops to help.

"The king... General Choi has arrived! We are saved! Kill the Tartars! "The morale of the young people was boosted.

"Kill!" Cui Xiuning didn't care about being verbose at all, she looked at the large number of Tartars that were about to land with fear, and ordered to kill the enemy as soon as possible.

"Attack!" The samurai, who acted as the general of the Xiangyong, wielded the Tang sword and commanded the Xiangyong to line up, set up shields, and release arrows. The young men withdrew and gave up their fighting positions to the Xiangyong battalion.

"Whoosh-" The combat power of the Xiangyong battalion is not weak, everyone can bend their bows and shoot arrows, and under the dense rain of arrows, a large number of Tartars are shot in the water.

Seeing that tens of thousands of reinforcements were suddenly killed on the shore, the originally arrogant Tartars finally appeared in horror.

Although they are more numerous, they are in the water, unable to protect themselves from them, unable to dodge. And they used a riding bow, or shot from the back. So immediately fell into passivity.

Due to the very dense density of Tartars, the Xiangyong camp is simply a waste of arrows. They condescended on the banks of the river, and the Tartar ghosts they shot cried wolf howls.

And the feathered arrows of the Tartars are not much of a threat to the village warriors who are equipped with wooden shields and armor.

The two sides shot at each other from a distance of several zhang, killing on the river bank, and a large number of Tartars were shot and killed all the time, and there were villagers who died in battle all the time.

Among them was a female general, but she used a slingshot. But she fired her slingshot at an astonishing speed, and with each shot, she could blind a Tartar in the eye.

The Tartar, who was blinded, screamed in pain, threw his bow and arrows and howled miserably.

After a few breaths, more than a dozen Tartars were blinded by her.

The results of this female general immediately aroused the Tartar's idea, and soon a few bows were directed at her.

"Whoosh—"

The woman turned her head away, narrowly avoiding a feather arrow that flew through her sideburns, and her face turned pale with fright, and then two feather arrows were stuck in her.

"Coral!" Cui Xiuning, who was not far away, was so frightened that his face turned white.

"I'm fine!" The stony coral stumbled back a few steps, the feathered arrows stuck in his chest and abdomen still shaking. It turned out that she was wearing fine armor, and although the arrow hit her, it only hurt her flesh and skin, and at most it was slightly injured.

That's where armor comes in.

Shi Coral pulled out his feather arrow and shouted crisply, "General, you stand back!" ”

A low-ranking samurai who acted as the general of the village warrior also shouted, "General, please stand back!" ”

Cui Xiuning nodded, and stepped forward to kill the enemy without recklessness. She is well aware of her role, not to fight the enemy directly. If she were killed, the blow to morale would have been fatal.

This General Cui withdrew ten zhang away and stood at the top. Standing here won't be killed by the Tartar's feathered arrows, and it will also allow the soldiers to see her with them.

By this time, the Tartars were all on the shore. They relied on the leather bag not to sink, and desperately shot arrows to fight back. Many leather bags were shot through by the Tang army, but the knights on the horses were not helpless, they simply abandoned their horses and climbed to the shore in the rain of arrows.

Eventually, more and more tartars were crawling ashore wet.

But they were greeted by a dense tapering of spears.

The Tartars who came ashore showed their ferocity, and they rushed to the shore with their swords and fearless death, and although they suffered heavy casualties, they still seized a small part of the riverbank.

Although they were savage, they were not stupid, and they knew that they could only kill them ashore and not return to the water at all.

The Tartars relied on a small piece of the riverbank, shouting and rushing up to kill. Although Xiang Yong has undergone a month of hard training, his combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the regular Tang Army, and the relatively fierce and barbaric Tartars have lost some ruthlessness that is not afraid of death after all.

Xiang Yong's individual combat power is not as good as that of the Tartars, and the number is not as good as the Tartars, and the only advantage is the geographical advantage.

Therefore, the position of the Tartars on the river bank is getting bigger and bigger, and even warhorses have begun to go ashore.

"Kill!" The scarce number of samurai and regular troops, with great bravery, rushed to the front, blocking more and more of the Tartars who came ashore. The townspeople in front stabbed the spears hard, and the townspeople in the back desperately released arrows.

And the Tartars, who were still in the river, also threw a rainstorm of feathered arrows. The villagers shook their spears together and called on the feathered arrows to reduce the damage.

All of a sudden, the river bank shouted to kill the heavens, and it turned into a cruel strangulation battle. The fighting was extremely fierce, with a large number of casualties at every turn. Due to the unfavorable terrain of the Tartars, the casualties were even more severe, and at this time there were only more than 50,000 people left, and more than 10,000 people were killed and wounded.

And Xiang Yong also suffered thousands of casualties.

Cui Xiuning was anxious to see it, and Nai Yan on the other side stomped his feet angrily.

Cui Xiuning walked to the drum car and personally beat the war drums, "Knock knock!" ”

More than 20,000 villagers heard Cui Xiuning's drums, and suddenly burst out with greater courage, shouting in unison and charging forward, forcing many tartars who came ashore to fall into the river one after another.

"Knock knock!" Naiyan on the other side also personally beat the war drums, and the excited Tartars rushed to the shore as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

And many samurai led the village warriors to rush directly into the tartars with spears, fighting to the death!

"Killing the enemy and serving the country is today!"

"Datang Wansheng!"

"See you at the Zhongwu Shrine!"

The role of the samurai as the backbone of the battle and the pillar of the battle spirit is vividly reflected at this time. Armed with martial arts ideas and martial arts honor, the warriors of the Tang Kingdom completely disregarded life and death, and almost rushed to kill.

The bravery of the samurai, even the Tartars were terrified, and they did not dare to attack them.

Under the influence of the samurai, the village warriors also became more and more brave in battle, and the more they fought, the more they became more and more like warriors. Spears, feathered arrows, and those who don't want money greet the tartars.

The Tartars, on the other hand, fought back like mad beasts. They knew very well that they would win as long as they defeated the enemy who was blocking their landing and successfully landed ashore.

And if you turn around and flee and cross to the north shore, you will sell your back to the enemy and let them shoot you dead.

The rivers were stained red with blood.

Although the Tartars tried their best, they could no longer expand more riverbank positions.

Cui Xiuning nervously watched the battlefield, still gritting her teeth and beating the drum, in the cold, she was covered in hot sweat, and her arms became more and more weak.

At this moment, she suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a lot less tartars.

What's going on?

Cui Xiuning only thought for a few seconds, then quickly threw down the drumstick and shouted: "Tartar dives!" Downstream! ”

After she finished speaking, she pulled out the Tang knife and rushed downstream. Why downstream? Because the downstream river bank is relatively flat, it is also better to dive.

"General!" When Shi Coral and other guards saw it, they rushed over to keep up, and then thousands of villagers shouted and rushed to the riverbank downstream with Cui Xiuning.

Sure enough, Cui Xiuning had just rushed out of half a mile when he saw a lot of heads with money rat tails popping up on the banks of the river downstream, all wet.

Water Dada!

It turned out that a group of Shuida soldiers saw that they couldn't land on the shore for a long time, so they simply abandoned their war horses and leather bags, took advantage of their superb water nature, dived into the water, and came to the downstream without knowing it, preparing to land on the riverbank downstream without the defense of Xiangyong, killing the Tang army by surprise.

However, they were still discovered by the vigilant Cui Xiuning.

Seeing Cui Xiuning leading his troops to rush over, these Shuida soldiers screamed and rushed to the shore desperately.

"Kill!" Cui Xiuning shouted, "Don't let the Tartars go ashore!" ”

Shi Coral and other guards rushed over with Cui Xiuning, followed by more and more villagers.

A tartar had just climbed onto the shore when he suddenly screamed, covered his eyes and screamed.

"General! Back off! As soon as Shi Sango shot the slingshot to blind the Tartar's eyes, he hugged Cui Xiuning and shouted, "Take the general to the back!" ”

"No!" Several female guards pounced on Cui Xiuning and hugged Cui Xiuning, "The general has already taken the lead, don't take any more risks!" ”

Cui Xiuning nodded, "Okay." I'm not at risk. ”

There were thousands of people diving over here, and a piece of money rat tail came out of the black press, and rushed to the shore with a knife in his hand, which was blocked by more than 1,000 villagers who washed up.

The new battlefield once again erupted with terrifying shouts and killings.

Then thousands of villagers rushed over to support, and thousands of water finally failed to successfully go ashore and were blocked dangerously.

The two positions were fighting to the point of white-hot, and in the rain of blood, accompanied by terrible shouts, roars, and wails.

Cui Xiuning was covered in a cold sweat, holding the hand of the Tang knife and pinching it to death, and his teeth were about to bite out blood. She wanted to rush forward several times, but she resisted the urge to go up and fight.

She can't be fine!

If Cui Xiuning had reacted slower before, then thousands of Tartars would have come ashore, and everything would have been over.

The two sides fought for a while, and seeing more and more Tartars coming ashore, shouts were heard again from the south, and thousands of young and strong people with long bamboo guns and sticks rushed up to support. Many of them are people who fled before.

Now they're back.

Together with Xiang Yong, they roared and stabbed out the bamboo spears and pushed the tartars into the water.

Nayan on the other side of the river looked at this scene, his face was gloomy and about to drip water.

He couldn't have imagined that there were tens of thousands of horses defending this riverbank!

What went wrong? Could it be that the rebels have already guessed? Or was there already tens of thousands of soldiers and horses stationed here?

How so!

Hateful!

Just when Naiyan was extremely depressed, suddenly Hai Dongqing's chirp came from the sky again.

"King Khan!" The falconer said urgently, "It's downstream!" The rebels' sailors should have arrived! ”

What the?

Nai Yan was shocked, and hurriedly looked in the northeast direction, and sure enough, he saw a white sail, which was only a few miles away.

"Mingjin!" Nayan shouted, "Let them withdraw!" ”

At this time, the Tartar army, which was desperately rushing to the shore, finally saw a large number of sailors getting closer and closer. They were so frightened that they no longer dared to fight, so they retreated into the water, stepped on the horses with intact leather bags, and turned their heads.

They knew that although the enemy army was small, it was very tenacious, and it could be regarded as elite soldiers, and they would not be able to land quickly under any circumstances, and when the enemy's naval division brigade arrived, they would be completely annihilated.

For now, the only way to do this is to abandon the landing and withdraw to the other side.

Immediately afterwards, a ridiculous and cruel scene appeared in Jiangzhong.

Because the leather sacs of many war horses were broken, there were not even half of the leather sacs left intact, but there were still more than 40,000 people in the Tartars, and many people had no leather bags to use, so they immediately began to compete for leather bags to cross the river.

The scramble quickly turned into a fight. Many of the Tartars were fighting side by side one moment, and this moment they were swinging their swords at their companions.

"Poof! Poof! ”

"Ahh

"Damn it!"

For a while, I don't know how many Tartars killed each other and died.

And the Tartars, who stepped on the leather sac war horse, were also shot by the feathered arrows on the shore, and the losses were extremely heavy.

Many Tartars who did not grab the leather bag could only swim hard, or grab the war horse with the leather bag, or even simply ride the war horse without the leather bag, no matter how far they could swim.

"Whoosh!" The villagers fired arrows together, and the dense rain of arrows shot at the Tartars without money. Many Tartars were shot to death, leather sacs were shot, and even more fierce fighting was caused.

The surviving sailors of dozens of warships also shot the Tartars desperately.

There are more than 10,000 Tartars who died fighting each other for the leather sacs alone.

The ugly and cruel side of the darkness of human nature is manifested in them in all its forms.

By the time the Tartars fled from the range of the bows and arrows of the villagers, there were only about 20,000 people left. Many were either killed or swam into the river.

"Boom!" The big ships that arrived first had already fired their artillery. However, the shells did not cause many casualties to the enemy on the water, but they frightened the Tartars and desperately rode their horses around.

In the end, up to 20,000 people survived.

In this battle, I don't know how many Manchu ancestors of later generations died here.

Nai Yan looked at the 20,000 horses ashore and could only sigh.

Defeated.

And defeated so badly! More than 100,000 horses crossed the river, and only 30,000 or 40,000 returned!

Nayan looked at the female general in red armor on the other side with hatred, gritted his teeth and said, "Woman, if you fall into my hands one day, I will make you regret becoming a woman." Pray to your gods, and don't let you fall into the hands of my son. ”

"Herald a fire! Dry your body and retreat! Nayan ordered.

As for the other place to cross the river, he will certainly not go well either. He can't manage so much, he just wants to withdraw his troops and go back.

The only consolation for him was that, with what he knew about the Great Khan, at least the Great Khan would not withdraw again.

At this time, on the river surface, tens of thousands of corpses were ambushed. The riverside on the south bank was stained red with blood. This is also in the Yangtze River, if it was in the sea, it would have attracted sharks a long time ago.

These barbarians traveled thousands of miles to the south to kill people in order to plunder slaves, women and property, and died in the surging rivers.

"The sinners are late! Please, Her Royal Highness, punish her! Han Shao, who arrived with tens of thousands of sailors, the first thing he did was to go ashore and ask Cui Xiuning for his guilt.

"No courtesy. You are innocent and meritorious. Cui Xiuning said. How could she blame Han Shao? Who would have thought that Yuan Jun would use this trick? In order to lock the river, the Yangtze River sailors were already very scattered, and it was already very good to be able to rush over in time to rescue.

If Han Shao hadn't arrived in time, it would still have been possible for the Tartars to land successfully. It was only at this point that she was half relieved.

The crossing of the river here was thwarted, but what about Jiande? The father-in-law should not have arrived in Jiande at this time, and the Yuan army should not have arrived either. But it's definitely too late to send reinforcements.

Cui Xiuning looked in the southwest direction, his eyes were full of worry,

I hope that my father-in-law is okay and can thwart the Yuan army to cross the river.

"Quick! Go down to the river to catch the horse! Cui Xiuning suddenly saw that many war horses that had lost their leather bags were still swimming in the water, where would she let go?

"Queen. Don't go down to the river to catch it, you can't catch it. As long as the queen gives the order to retreat, give way to the riverbank, and the war horse will go ashore by herself. Han Shao said.

Cui Xiuning took Han Shao's suggestion and ordered the riverbank to be set aside. Sure enough, the war horses that couldn't hold their breath came ashore one after another, and in the end there were more than 40,000.

The horses were also exhausted, and when they came ashore, they were exhausted and were captured.

More than 40,000 war horses! When Cui Xiuning heard the number, he had goosebumps all over his body. This seizure really made it difficult for her to calm down.

"Niangniang, the casualties of our army have been counted." Shi Coral said, "Of the 30,000 villagers, 13,000 were killed and wounded, and 3,200 were killed or wounded. ”

Cui Xiuning listened, closed her eyes in pain, and couldn't help but leave two lines of tears.

With more than 16,000 casualties, how many families will lose their fathers, sons, and husbands?

Fortunately, after this bloody battle, the Tartars were not allowed to cross the river, otherwise, I don't know how many thousands of people would have died tragically. Moreover, a large number of Tartar cavalry went south, and the battle situation in Hengyang would also become extremely dangerous.

This battle also made Cui Xiuning intuitively feel the combat effectiveness of the Tartars. Under such extremely unfavorable terrain, the Tartars still inflicted so many casualties on their own side, and they almost landed successfully several times.

Is this the combat power of the barbarians in the era of cold weapons?

"Also, Wuhu County ordered Wang Fusheng to die in battle, and he was hit by thirteen arrows." Stone Coral said.

"Wang Fusheng..."Cui Xiuning thought for a while, "I remember, he is the second batch of Xiangyong, who immigrated from Qilu and was a village leader. He's still my fellow countryman. ”

"With the funeral rites of the third-grade officials, the funeral pension will be given posthumously to the viscount." Cui Xiuning ordered, "All the fallen soldiers and young men should be carefully registered, as well as the wounded." The integrated bereavement pension according to the system. ”

"No!"

"Han Shao."

"The minister is here!"

"You rush to the rescue of Jiande, as soon as possible!"

"No!"

ps: There are too many things too many and complicated today, and I have to read the file at night, preparing for the court, woo, I can only update 7000 words, and I will add more tomorrow! As always, I ask for support.,I hope you read it.。 Every day, I wish you all good health, wealth, and happiness! Everyone should be well, Lao Jun bless. Good night!
