128:Crossing the River (3)
Three miles outside Zhengyang Pass, on the south bank of the Huai River.
The flat fertile field became a battlefield.
The bolts of the crossbow are like locusts.
Qin Yue finally underestimated the determination of the guards of Zhengyang Pass, and as soon as they landed on the shore, they set up the carts in a row, and the Tang army that heard the news had already pounced fiercely.
A full two battalions of troops, flanking left and right.
Fortunately, there are enough arrows, and with the cover of a knocked down cart, it can be suppressed from a distance.
More than a dozen clippers shuttled across the river, and about 100 elite crossbowmen helped them, and the enemy did not dare to bully them for a while.
However, Cui Jing, the deputy general of Zhengyangguan who led the army, was obviously experienced in battle for a long time, and the offensive organization was not in a hurry or dry, so he only ordered the soldiers to put the big oars upright and advance step by step.
Chen Scar looked at the enemy's situation, and said to Qin Yue, who was blushing: "It's not okay to drag it down like this, we expect the enemy to be bad, but I didn't expect them to have so many big oars, and our crossbowmen are weak, so I will lead the blood killing battalion to rush and kill for a while." ”
"No, hold on a little longer."
Qin Yue shook his head, "It's not easy to withdraw as soon as you rush out, the enemy's formation is not chaotic, and the whole army must be pressed on, we can't afford such casualties."
They don't charge hard, firstly, they are consuming our arrows, and secondly, they are waiting for reinforcements, we ...... It can also take a while. ”
Chen Scar nodded and stopped talking.
In the face of a well-trained enemy army, in the face of three times the enemy, risk the death of the charge.
He turned his head to look at the river, and Zhou Bing on the other side of the river was trying his best to build a pontoon bridge, this kind of pontoon bridge with boats as beams, laying wooden planks on it, and then nailing it with five-inch-long iron nails...... It's too slow.
Moreover, when Li Qian's figure appeared in the reinforcements on the ship, his heart gradually sank......
No wonder the crossbow arrows are sparse, no wonder they are only wandering in the distance, this is simply wishing that the Huya Battalion would be wiped out.
Qin Yue pursed his lips tightly, and now he could only hope for Jia Yin's Flying Tiger to ride.
…… Ka-in is also in trouble.
Qi Yijiang's army was killed by him, which was a surprise victory.
When Zhong Hong, who was in front, learned that the enemy army was only a hundred men, he immediately formed a front team, erected a large oar, set up a spear, and set up a crossbow bow, and set up a defensive posture on the avenue.
The spear, which acted as a sharp arrow, controlled the speed of the horses from a mile away, and as soon as they pulled the reins two hundred paces away from the enemy's formation, the horse team began to rush to the left flank and began to circle around the Tang army.
The effective killing of the hand crossbow is within eighty paces, and the spear must be thrown within fifty paces, which is far less than the large infantry crossbow, and the war horse is too expensive, and he does not want to make unnecessary casualties.
He didn't want to take the risk, Jia Yin was even more reluctant, seeing that the Tang army turtle shrank into a hedgehog formation, and he couldn't rush in for a while, Jia Yin's thoughts turned sharply, and he gave an order:
"Abandon the Tang Army in front of you and join up with the infantry battalion outside Zhengyang Pass."
The leading spear was stunned for a moment, then quickly adjusted the direction and galloped towards Zhengyang Pass.
Zhong Hong, the commander of the Tang Army, looked at the horse team roaring away arrogantly with a pale face, and raised his sword with hatred, "Maintain the formation of receiving the enemy and advance steadily, Zhong San, you take the personal guard cavalry to collect the friendly army and join our army." ”
"No."
The order was issued, and the team began to act, but Zhong Hong knew in his heart that if he went to Zhengyang, he was afraid that it would be useless.
On the bank of the Huai River, Cui Jing, the deputy general of Zhengyangguan, saw that the pontoon bridge of the Zhou army on the river was getting closer and closer, and his heart was anxious.
He looked at the sky, and then at the enemy's crossbow arrows, which were obviously much slower, and the arrows that were much weaker, and finally couldn't help but pull his sword, and shouted: "The enemy army is weak, and the whole army is ...... charge."
"Rush, ......"
In the car array, Chen Scarzi saw that the enemy army began to charge, and shook the nine-ring Pu knife in his hand, "The victory or defeat is in this battle, blood killing, steel forks, and brand knives are killed with a certain rush, and the crossbow bow is covered in the array." ”
"Kill ......"
With the sound of golden blades intersecting, the south bank of the Huai River finally entered the hand-to-hand combat stage of white-knives fighting.
On the north bank of the Huai River, Wang Yanchao, who supervised the bridge, watched the two armies fighting fiercely, shouting, screaming, and the sound of the blades intersecting faintly, he clenched his fists and raised his arms, and roared loudly: "The brothers on the south bank are fighting bloodily, and the armies are speeding up ......."
Zhao Shanbao shook his sore, swollen and painful right hand, abandoned the horn bow in his hand, snatched a stone soft bow under his hand, and once again arrows were like beads, these Tang soldiers were not afraid of death, his eyes saw that many people in the steel fork team fell to the ground, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Yellow hair, black body, red eyes, extremely hideous.
Qiao Qingshan closely followed the pace of Chen Scar, protecting his right wing, roaring again and again, slashing and assassinating with a simple knife in his hand, but a pretty face with a smile and hatred appeared in his mind, dressed in red and short, with a belt pierced and a narrow-bladed Pu knife in his hand.
This is what he saw when he was a guest in the Guan family compound, he is also from Meng County, and he should move around, but what he shouldn't have is that he saw her dancing with a knife.
The heroic posture of that scene suddenly penetrated into his chest and firmly rooted in his heart.
Can...... But isn't she the person who pleases Captain A?
This kind of mood of suffering and suffering has been controlling his nerves for a long time, and it was not until he went south this time that he heard the news that Jiayin had something else to ask for.
Heaven forbid!
His desire to make contributions suddenly became stronger, and he was the most unlucky, and when he went back, he had to put on a suit of armor, and he had a good scenery!
"Kill ......"
"Kill ......"
The blades suddenly became dull, and there was a rumbling sound, and he swung his knife again in surprise, and another frightened voice sounded with a scream: "The horse team is coming......
"The horse team is coming!"
This frightened Tang Jun news, but the people in the Huya Battalion were ecstatic, "It's the Flying Tiger Riding ......"
Qiao Qingshan couldn't help but burst into tears when he swung the knife.
Jiayin's horse team arrived at the right time, the Tang army was all in front, there was no defense, and the formation was chaotic, and there was no more suitable battle situation for the horse team to rush and kill.
One round of crossbow arrows, another round of spear throwing, and by the time the spears rushed into the enemy line as bravely as tigers, the Tang army had begun to flee in fear......
With the death of Zhengyangguan deputy general Cui Jing, everything quickly ended, on the river beach, the Tang army knelt or lyed, but there was no one standing.
The Flying Tiger rode and joined the main force, but there was no excitement or joy on either side, because there were many comrades-in-arms and brothers lying on the ground.
Qin Yue and Zhao Shanbao scurried around the position like madmen, and all the Huya soldiers picked up and looked at it, shouting, shaking, and shouting hoarsely......
And Qiao Qingshan hugged a young soldier and cried, this honest guy with rabbit lips found a simple bride, and after three good days, he also joked last night that when Brother Qingshan got married, he would go to the cave room.
But now, the hands and feet are cold.
The sun is gradually setting, and the pontoon bridge is almost close to the shore, and there is a cold wind blowing, which is desolate.
