The wooden boat breaks the waves, the long rafts rise and fall, and lap on the surface of the river, and the sound of the water is agitated, like a ballad.

The fifth Lun stood at the bow of the ship, behind him was the flag officer, but the flag was rolled, and behind him were fifty soldiers dressed in yellow scarves and armor, either holding spears or shields, and at the stern of the ship were the hundred of the Golden Drum Corps, the first rooster to crow. Because he couldn't bring the big drum, he only straddled the drum with a cloth on his body today, tied the other end to his waist, and held a mallet.

It's not a joke, many people have never been on a boat in their lives, even if they claimed to have taken it in the past, it was just across the Jingshui, how can it be compared with the Yellow River on both sides of the tide? After autumn, the water is large, and it is several miles wide, and it takes a moment just to cross the river.

The landlubbers were dizzy when they looked at the water, not to mention that the boat was still swaying, for fear that one of the captains would accidentally overturn, and many people were iron-clad men on the shore, but now they were pale like a little daughter-in-law, holding the boat in their hands and not letting go.

In addition, I don't know what kind of enemy and what kind of situation I will face after landing, everyone is very nervous, and some people can't help but vomit their breakfast on the ship.

Fifth Lun was also a little dizzy, but he still endured it, and even shouted loudly: "Rooster crowing, sing a song!" ”

One of the reasons why the first chicken song was selected as the top 100 of the Golden Drum Team was that he had a loud voice, but this guy was not very afraid, and only asked: "Sing "Zhan Cheng Nan"? ”

It was an anti-war song, unlucky, Wu Lun asked him to change it, and after the rooster cleared his throat, he sang a song that was transmitted to Jiangnan, but it was quite popular in the world.

"Jiangnan can pick lotus, lotus leaves He Tiantian."

The fifth Lun struck the knot and said: "The fish play among the lotus leaves." ”

Slowly, someone sang along: "Fish play lotus leaves ...... east"

A voice also came from the boat immediately after them: "Fish play lotus leaf west." ”

"Fish play lotus leaves in the south, fish play lotus leaves in the north ......"

The song echoed across the Yellow River, and after being sung a few times, perhaps it diverted attention, and singing in unison gave them a sense of security in the collective, and the soldiers' hands holding spears were less stiff.

As everyone's breathing eased slightly, six boats also crossed the Yellow River like fish, getting closer and closer to the west bank.

They could see the pampas and reeds on the shore, and the fleeing people saw the surprised eyes of the boat, and they were already stepping on the water in eagerness, only waiting for the boat to come to the shore.

"All of them!"

Fifth Lun shouted the order: "Get up, spear up!" ”

"The old rule, those who are in the Ling Wu Formation are all enemies!"

"No!"

The pig warriors agreed in unison, and immediately got up after the ship docked, this action began half a year ago, they practiced countless times, and whenever they encountered those who were brave and not afraid of death and wanted to pick up the boat, the soldiers were also merciless, and were directly pressed against their stomachs by a spear shaft, and rolled in the water in pain.

Looking at this boatload of murderous soldiers, the people on the shore were afraid, even more afraid than the Hu Lu behind them, and even began to suspect that this group of soldiers came over at this time, they didn't want to take advantage of the fire to rob, or cut off their heads, right?

"I am the fifth lun, the fifth boyu!"

The voices were noisy, and the fifth Lun asked the rooster to cry and other loud voices to help him shout: "Xiaoyi Sima stationed in Xiaowu County!" ”

After all, only across a river, the people of the three counties on the east bank have still heard of the name of the fifth lun, in the market, in the gossip of passers-by and businessmen, but after all, it is only a rumor of the neighboring county, in the eyes of the people of this era, the foreigner can not be trusted, the foreign accent can not be trusted, the crowd is silent, and the fifth lun in his hometown of lieutenant county after the fame, casually raise his arms, you can respond to a hundred calls.

Wu Lun couldn't care what they thought, so he only finished shouting: "Except for the special forces, it is not my defense, but I can't bear the people to wander into the dust, so today I led the troops across the river, lined up to cover you, etc., and listened to the order of the hundred under my command, and boarded the ship in order." ”

"Pingdan, you will take a hundred people and arrange for everyone to get on the boat, and the old and weak, women and children will be given priority."

The Fifth Pingdan and the Fifth Fu promised, but when Zhang Luo boarded the ship, many people who were still scrambling hesitated, and the Fifth Lun understood, and they understood that the soldiers wanted to rob their wives and daughters.

In this new dynasty, the soldiers regard the people as livestock and the people regard the soldiers as thieves, and they do not trust each other.

And just when the pigs and pigs landed on the boat one after another, separated the crowd and formed a team on the tidal flat full of yellow sand, the young young men who couldn't stand the arrogance of Hu Lu and turned back to fight with them finally couldn't withstand more and more Hu Qi, and retreated in defeat!

……

"It's clear that you can still fight, what to retreat?"

The young man who was not angry and arrogant, and fought with a sword and led the men back to fight, was named Meng Ze, and he was also from Lian County.

The new Qin Zhongmeng clan is said to be the son left in the local area after the Qin general Meng Tian chased the Xiongnu in the north that year, and escaped the chaos at the end of Qin and stayed incognito.

But now Montessori is only a Chinese family, Mengzer is like ordinary young people, usually good at horse and cockfighting, but today the chicken is thrown at home, and the horse is given to his parents to ride, he can only fight on foot.

He has always been martial, but he did not fall behind the Hun soldiers who were recruited by the herdsmen. However, the surrounding farmers did not have the backbone of the mess, first, they saw that there were more and more Hulu in front, and second, they learned that there were Tewu County soldiers in the rear to help, so there was nothing to do with civilians, so they retreated back one after another.

This retreat, but exposed his back to the Hu people, after a burst of arrows, several more people around Meng Ze died, and he could only keep swinging his sword and retreating, accidentally stepping on a corpse and falling to the ground.

When he was about to get up, a Hu man had already seen the opportunity, rushed over with his horse, and raised his sword high, about to kill Meng Ze!

Meng Ze's pupils dilated, and he shouted that he was finished, and at the last moment, an arrow flew behind him, hitting the Hu people!

The arrow was so powerful that it hit Hu'er's left chest near his shoulder from a distance of a hundred paces, penetrating his leather armor, and the force of the hedge directly caused him to fly backwards from his horse and fall heavily to the ground. By the time Hu Lu got up in a daze, Meng Ze had already approached him, stabbed Hu Ren in the heart with a sword, and beheaded him by the way, and carried it in his hand and retreated.

It was only then that Monzer saw the man who had saved his life, but it was a strong man standing on an abandoned cart and constantly firing his bow and arrows.

In the past, the arrows that could not be shot at Dong Xi were arranged today, Wan Xuan held a big bow, opened the bow with his thumb, and the clusters were all iron sharp arrows, if it were not for the iron armor to withstand it at all, every time the bow was like a full moon, slowly aiming at the Hu cavalry who was chasing the farmer, although it would not kill them with an arrow, but it could always make them embarrassed and injured, and retreated.

The fifth battalion had already formed a horizontal formation a mile outside the ferry, like a big shield between Hu Qi and the people. The front row of spears and halberds was flattened, and if any people who fled in a panic bumped into them, they would die in vain.

Meng Ze and the others passed by on both sides of the horizontal formation one after another, and the kid still wanted to join the team to kill the captives together, but was scolded and driven away by the seventh biao, he was unwilling, and only stood dozens of steps behind the formation with a few other bloody locals, thinking of killing a few lone Hu people with them.

The Huns have been in a no-man's land for a few days, and there has long been no order, although there are also three or four hundred horsemen chasing to the shore, but they belong to different tribes, they have not grabbed people and enough booty, seeing so many people gathered on the bank of the river, just like seeing the jackals of sheep crossing the river, they can't hold back their greed, even if the fifth battalion is waiting in formation, the Hu people are still trying to move forward.

After all, thousands of General Tunhu were wiped out in Doudi, and since entering the new Qin, the city has been closed, and the soldiers are cowardly and dare not come out, which has fueled the arrogance of the Hu people.

Seeing that Hu Cai was getting closer and closer, he had reached a hundred paces away, and began to test the horse and draw his bow to shoot at the fifth battalion, but Zang Nu, who also took the responsibility of long-range shooting, could only do it in a hurry.

"Sima, our crossbow was damp when we crossed the river."

He wept and mourned, isn't the soul of the bow and crossbow the bow body? Made of wood, horns, gums, shellac and tendons, it is very sensitive to humidity, and a little change will affect the range and accuracy, and it is useless to wipe it.

Zang Nu tried, and the six-stone crossbow with the best range of sixty or seventy paces was now to have the same strength, and he had to let the enemy go to forty or fifty paces.

"Then get closer and shoot again."

"What if Hu Lu doesn't come closer?"

The horn bow of the Huns is a projectile, using the power of arrows to fall, and when the wind is good, you can shoot the bow far away, and it is not a stupid roe deer, and it will not get so close at all.

As soon as the battle began, the 5th Battalion became a live target, and the Huns tried to throw their bows between 80 and 100 paces, and the stray arrows continued to fall into the formation.

The wind blows from the river to the shore, which is not good for the Hu people. In the past two days, the fifth Lun has emptied the county's military inventory, and put on armor for the people in the front row, which is why they are so afraid of water, once they fall into the water, they are afraid that they will be sunk to the bottom of the river by the weight.

The fifth Lun was not single by the heavy armor, and he was still wearing a sash on his head, so he was hit by two arrows, one was a bone cluster, which was directly broken, and the other was an iron cluster, nailed to the iron blades of the armor, and the fifth Lun seemed to have been punched, and his shoulder hurt for a long time, so he only reached out and broke it off.

Even if there is an advantage in armor, and occasionally someone snorts and falls injured, this kind of sporadic attrition will not cause heavy losses to the army, but it can hit morale a little bit. Even if they pride themselves on the fifth battalion, they are "invincible in the world"! But it's really embarrassing to be beaten passively like this! Not to mention that Hu Lu was still laughing in the distance, and even tied the prisoners in front of them, tied them to the horses, and left.

Only a few archers who can shoot from a distance such as Wan Xuan can counterattack one or two on the chariot, but it can't change the big situation.

For example, the seventh Biao has already gritted his teeth and asked the Fifth Lun to fight.

Fifth Lun only stared at the messy Hu cavalry opposite, and it could be seen that they were not elite, they were ordinary herdsmen, cameo cavalry in wartime, and people often collided with other people's horses when they were wandering.

"Hulu is a hundred paces away from us."

"And two hundred steps behind him is the North West Canal!"

Beidi West Canal, is one of the two major ditches on the west bank of the Yellow River in the new Qinzhong, close to the river, although not as wide as the Yellow River, the water is also shallow, but it is also an obstacle, it takes a little time to ride a horse up and down, not to mention that they are stationed in the fields and acres, and the Qianmo Water Ditch can also greatly slow down the speed of horses.

The Huns have been killing and plundering too easily in the past few days, and they dare to cross the canal in a grand manner, and the fifth battalion is considered to be in a backwater formation, so why not the opposite side?

As the front row of armor soldiers more and more arrow feathers, they held back more and more anger, like mosquitoes buzzing and stinging on you, although it doesn't hurt, but itchy, the itch from the armor to the heart, scratching the soldiers unbearable.

Anger is like a strong spice, a small amount will make people sober, but too much will make people paralyzed, no more, no less, just right.

In the stray arrow, the fifth Lun asked Wan Yu and others to come over and tell him his plan.

This is their only chance to turn the situation around, and they can't take a few steps to rectify like usual, and if they move slowly, the Hu people can calmly retreat.

It has to be a charge!

"Give the order to go down, listen to the drumbeat later, just rush forward and drive the Hu Lu into the ditch!"

"But once we move, we will be in chaos." Wan Xuan was a little worried, everyone had different physical strength, even if they were elites, it was too difficult to sprint three hundred steps in armor.

"Then chaos!"

"Then kill indiscriminately!"

Fifth Lun broke another stray arrow from the armor, threw it heavily on the ground, took a shield, drew his sword and pointed forward.

"Drum beating!"
