Outside the north gate of Jiaocheng, nearly 50,000 troops gathered in formation, marching towards the north with murderous spirit, archers in front, infantry in the middle, and cavalry in the rear.

At this time, the two of them were looking high on the north city wall, reporting the situation to Li Guo and Zhang Nai, who had just arrived from the rear.

"The river is about ten zhang (about thirty meters) deep, there is a little water at the bottom but it has thawed, the officers and soldiers occupy the north bank, and the north bank has been dug very steep, although it is not as high as this wall, but it is also about two people high, and it is necessary to build a ladder to climb it!"

"How long is the front? Is it possible to bypass a frontal attack? Li Guo looked into the distance and asked, but the weather was gray, although it was only five miles, but he couldn't see the specifics.

"There is more than three miles of land, but the officers and soldiers have set up mobile forces on both sides of the defense line, which can meet the head at any time, and there are wild river beaches on both sides, and there is not much better front than thorns and rocks, but everything is still decided by the general." Ma Chongxi Road.

Li Guo pondered slightly, turned his head and glanced at Zhang Nai: "In your opinion, should we attack head-on or side-by-side?" ”

Zhang Nai was born as a child soldier, and because of his brave and outstanding combat exploits, he was accepted by Li Zicheng as the son of Li Guo and had the strongest relationship, so this time, his brothers formed a group to fight Chang Yu.

"What's the difference, just a ditch, just kill the past, and wait for it to get dark."

Li Guo laughed, patted Zhang Nai's shoulder and said: "It makes sense, hey, after being put on the table by the dead eunuch, he became constrained" As he spoke, he then turned his head to Ma Chongxi and said, "You and Ren Jirong flanked the attack, and the main attack will be head-on, remember, keep an eye on the dead eunuch for me, this battle is not only the officers and soldiers who want to kill have no desire to fight, but also the dog head of the dead eunuch!" ”

"Obey the general's order" Ren Jirong and Ma Chongxi hugged their fists and left.

After Li Guo looked into the distance and snorted coldly, he also went down to the city with Zhang Nai.

The mountain rain is about to come, the wind is full of buildings, the wind and snow are getting closer and closer when the big battle is imminent, the atmosphere on the officer and soldier positions on the north bank of the river has become extremely tense, and 30,000 soldiers are staring at every move on the other bank.

Chang Yu wore armor and held a long knife majestically standing on a high ground in the river with Zhou Yuji, which was specially built with soil ramming when building fortifications as a command platform.

"If the thief army wants to attack head-on, it is very likely that the main force will be transferred to the two flanks to attack, and the front is just a feint, so we should also adjust the main force to attack on both flanks!" Zhou Yuji looked at the river fortifications and said lightly.

The north bank of the wide river in front of you has been built to become extremely steep, reaching a height of three meters in some places, and a minimum of two meters in height, making it difficult for a single soldier to jump up without the help of siege ladders.

"How can I beat you to command, our family is only responsible for killing the enemy" Chang Yu looked at the thieves who were slowly pressing over on the other side, with a murderous expression!

"Niu Yong takes your men and horses to defend the east wing, Wang Yongkui, Zhu Kongxun and you are in charge of the west wing, you will guard the front, and you will not retreat at will if you don't pay for it, even if you run out of men and horses, you have to defend it for me!"

Zhou Yuji said viciously.

"The last general obeys!" The three ministries will immediately mobilize their personnel and perform their own duties.

"They really do, but it seems that they are still attacking the front" Chang Yu squinted and looked ahead, only to see two teams of men and horses in the formation of the thief army, each heading towards the two wings.

Zhou Yuji's expression slowly condensed when he heard this, and he shook his head gently: "It doesn't matter where the main attack is, this line of defense can't stop them at all, the important thing is that the factory is most worried."

"What worries our family the most?" Chang Yu was stunned at first, and then looked at the other side, his face slowly becoming very embarrassed.

What he is most worried about is not that the thief army is crushed by many times the military strength, and he can run if he can't beat it, nor is it to bombard the position with artillery, that kind of sharp weapons are all in Li Zicheng's old camp, and the men and horses of the old battalion are not used to fight this kind of sniper warfare, and the use of artillery in these years is mainly aimed at engineering, and the positional war has never been heard of except for Qi Jiguang's use of tiger squat artillery back then. What's more, the thief army did not have the ability to be a prophet, so he was sure to dig a trench here and transport the artillery in advance.

What he is most worried about is that the thief army will use the cannon fodder regiment to consume his combat power and military resources!

And in front of him, the thief army actually used this trick, and there were nearly a thousand people in front of the army, who were really driven towards the riverbank!

This is the scene he least wants to see, although he has been mentally prepared that the thief army will definitely use this trick when he fights Taiyuan City, but he never thought that it would be such a sniper battle, and the thief army will play this trick, it seems that it has become a habit, and it has been tried and tested.

According to the pre-agreed method of fighting, taking advantage of the topography of the river, the officers and men used bows and arrows to suppress the thieves' troops, and then took advantage of the steepness of their own river bank to adopt the style of defending the city.

However, the thief army used the cannon fodder regiment, and instantly overturned the whole plan, if you kill these refugees, you waste bows and arrows and hit your own morale and strength, and when you kill them all, the thief army in the rear rushes over like a dragon, and the officers and soldiers have no power to parry.

If you don't kill, let it help the thief army to rush over, but there is still no good result!

Knock knock knock!

Just when Chang Yu frowned and was entangled, the other side of the river beat drums and shook the sky, and the thief army began to charge.

Thousands of refugees rushed towards the river under the whipping of the thief army, wailing and shaking the sky, and screamed miserably: "Don't let the arrows go away, we are all ordinary people......"

"Factory Father!" Zhou Yuji clenched his fists and looked at Chang Yu, and the soldiers on the surrounding positions also looked nervously here, waiting for the two commanders to give orders.

"You are the commander, you decide" Chang Yu was still soft-hearted, he couldn't make a decision when he saw those refugees coming!

"Kill!" Zhou Yuji shouted, and then the drums behind him also sounded.

The so-called mercy is not in charge of the army, and righteousness is not in charge of wealth! It seems that he is still a little tender, Chang Yu turned his head to look at Zhou Yuji, and saw that his face was blue and he really looked at himself.

Chang Yu nodded slightly: "You can kill at close range, shoot the thief army from afar!" ”

Zhou Yuji was stunned for a moment, then understood, and immediately ordered the soldiers in the position on the shore not to shoot the refugees with arrows for the time being, and when they went down the river, if they attacked the position, they would be cut and killed, as for those bows and arrows, they should be left to the thieves in the rear.

However, Chang Yu's idea was still too naïve, the officers and soldiers on the position held their breath, and only waited for the refugees to rush into the river before making a move, although they knew that suddenly the arrows were pouring down on the position, it turned out that the thief archers behind the refugees had already begun to move.

Grass fucking! Chang Yu was furious, and Zhou Yuji immediately ordered to fight back.

Immediately, the two sides began to strike at a distance, and the rain of arrows in the air was denser than snow.

The refugees under the rain of arrows were really panicked, screaming and screaming, rushed down the river and headed straight for the north bank, and at the same time, on both flanks of the position, the thieves had already launched an attack.

"At least 50,000 horses!" Duan Wuhu muttered in a low voice beside Chang Yu.

"Run in both directions, rush over and die......"

Archers on both sides exchanged fire, and the refugees rushed into the river, and the officers and soldiers on the positions began to shout loudly, trying to let the refugees escape along the river in both directions.

It is true that a group of refugees who rushed to the front obediently ran down the river on both sides, but more of them were pushed by the rear and came straight to the positions of the officers and soldiers, and those who were too late to dodge were even directly trampled down!

The river is hell!

Refugees are those ants in purgatory, rushing forward is death, retreating is also death, and there are officials and thieves on both sides of the river who are fighting in the past!

There is no way to go to heaven and earth, but to hell!

But man's survival instinct is infinite and huge, and he will not give up as long as there is a glimmer of hope!

That is, there is still a slight possibility of rushing through the positions of officers and soldiers!

So he stepped on the corpses of the refugees in front, and the ones behind began to crawl desperately towards the bank of the river where the officers and soldiers were located!

"Kill!"

Chang Yu saw it on the stage, roared angrily, rushed down with a knife, and the soldiers behind him immediately rushed up and ran to the riverbank with him.

This terrain is not at all suitable for horse warfare, so no one rides horses.

The officers and soldiers on the shore have already begun to swing their knives and slash at the refugees rushing over, and they also have to deal with the rain of arrows from the archers of the bandit army on the opposite bank, and they are extremely panicked and embarrassed for a while!
