"Bang bang" the sound of an arrow hitting a bamboo raft or bamboo shield.

The sound of arrows rubbing against the iron shield diagonally.

"Bell!" The sound of arrows hitting iron shields head-on.

"Poof!" The sound of arrows shooting into the soldier's body.

The battlefield is much more terrifying than imagined, and you can only truly experience it if you are there. The vast majority of the troops in this team were recruits who had fought once, and they had experienced such a difficult and passive battle to cross the river, and their spirits were tense to the extreme.

But no one jumped into the river with a nervous breakdown.

After Lao Li sacrificed, the bamboo raft that Tang Yuan was on immediately lost control and slid out in the direction of the river.

Although the raft was rapidly disoriented, the number of arrows fired from the other side of the river did not decrease, and even increased, because the enemy troops on the opposite side were much wider than expected.

After they discovered the Liang army, the crossbowmen, who were originally ten paces away, were now quickly concentrated and closer, and the arrows they shot became more and more dense.

At this time, the only thing that made Tang Yuangao feel fortunate was that everyone was not in chaos, and the equipment they brought was enough to resist the shooting of these ordinary bows and crossbows. He asked the group to keep the formation tighter, and everyone was tightly huddled together, and almost no arrows fell on people.

Even if someone is injured through a gap, it is not a fatal injury.

This time to cross the river, Tang Yuan brought ten medium-sized iron armor, which played a vital role.

This type of armor does not wrap around the whole body like heavy armor, but it can basically protect vital points.

You must know that the heavy armor of the girder is only 20,000 in the whole country, of which 5,000 are regrettably in the hands of the male Jia. The girder heavy armor, including chain mail, fish scale armor, and plate armor, wraps the soldiers tightly from head to toe, and some even have face protection. - For example, the set of armor on Tang Qi's body.

Wearing this armor and riding on a horse, the enemy has nowhere to start, and feels hopeless.

Although the combat power of the heavy armor soldiers is amazing, their shortcomings are also very obvious, the armor is too heavy, and the movement speed is limited, they are suitable for siege and defense of cities, especially defending cities. As long as you stand on the head of the city, a dozen people can deal with a hundred and ten people, which is as simple as chopping melons and vegetables. The arrows flying from the opposite side could only knock them into staggering, but they could not kill them.

Their helmets have two layers of shock absorption, and unless a hard crossbow of more than 300 steps is smashed, it really can't defeat them.

The precedent of 2,000 heavy iron armor defending the city by 10,000 people is not uncommon.

"Some of the horses can already step on the riverbank!" Tang Hu shouted.

Tang Yuan hurriedly looked left and right, and shouted: "Those who have armor, raise their shields, and get on the horse!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Tang Yuan was the first to jump into the river, with armor on his body, don't expect to swim, he could only follow the horse rope, while pulling, while approaching, those horses were not far from the bamboo raft, and they climbed onto the horse's back in three strokes.

When the feet of the war horse hit the ground, it was like a dragon out of the water.

"Kill!"

Tang Yuan, as the captain of the elite cavalry, took the lead and gave everyone a great encouragement. Almost at the same time, ten horses had rushed ashore en masse.

The enemy's arrows shot harder, and ten men with shields in their hands, looking at the road ahead through the shield's observation hole, spears and broadswords in their hands, rushed towards them.

The sound of horses' hooves seemed to be stepping on the hearts of the enemy, and the faces of the enemy soldiers were full of horror.

The twenty people brought by Tang Yuan were soldiers in the elite cavalry battalion, and each of them was an elite soldier of Baili Taoyi, and their physical strength and mental power were not comparable to those slaves, captives, and strong men on the other side.

At the Lijin Ferry, neither of the warring parties paid much attention to it from a strategic level, because even if the river was crossed from here, there was still a long muddy road to go underneath, which was extremely unsuitable for the passage of heavy troops. The enemy general Wu Yan Zha Fierce only symbolically stayed here with five male soldiers, and dozens of slaves and captives.

They reported to their superiors that there were too few people. The reply from the superiors was: You can figure it out for yourselves.

These five male soldiers are extremely vicious.

First gather together the slaves and captives who had been held in custody, and tell them: If the enemy comes, and you behave well, let you get rid of your status as slaves and captives and join the male family.

The slaves agreed, but a few captives from the Liang dynasty refused to give in and were beheaded on the spot. Seeing that some people were dead, and some of the captives were shaken.

In the end, more than two dozen slaves and captives became their minions. Five male soldiers led them, first went to the village to arrest the strong man, and then drove the strong man's family to the river, claiming: If there is anyone who escapes, those who do not work hard will be killed first.

The vast majority of Han people were forced to come, but there were also a few people who took the initiative to jump out and honor the male master.

In order to reward such traitors, the male Jia people said to them: If you catch five strong men, I will make you a captain; If you catch ten, why will you be long; If you can catch a hundred, you will be directly made a centurion!

In fact, these five male soldiers have no right to be crowned officials at all, but those who are hungry for profit still obey the orders of the five of them. The traitors went into madness. Informing, arresting, coercing, snatching, all kinds of evil. The ugliness of people is all shown here. Aiding and abusive, acting for the tiger, all do their best. With the existence of these people, the five male Jia people, in just half a month, captured more than 200 strong men and ambushed them on the shore.

However, judging from the actual combat effect, the five male soldiers were a little dumbfounded, and the group of traitors were even more dumbfounded.

They can only control the bodies of these strong men, but they can't control their hearts, and when they shoot arrows, they deliberately miss, and the only ones who can really shoot on the bamboo raft are the two male Jia, as well as those slaves, captives, and traitors.

If it weren't for that, how could Tang Yuan and the others be exposed like a living target and still be able to rush ashore?

It's a dream.

At this time, Tang Yuan was still too lacking in combat experience. If Zhang Nu was here, he would never let him cross the river like this.

"Our Han soldiers have been killed, brothers, the hard days are over!" In the ranks of the enemy troops, someone suddenly shouted.

"Whoever dares to rebel, I will kill his family first!" A traitor wields a torch and climbs to a high place.

Of the five male soldiers, only two were on the shore, and the other three were hiding outside the ground, guarding the families of the strong men. As soon as there was a fire on the riverbank, they began to kill their families.

Tang Yuan and the other ten people rushed ashore, and at first they were attacked a little, but when they continued to rush forward, the strong men dropped their weapons one after another and ran back.

Before they could start killing the enemy, the rear of the enemy army actually made a fuss by itself, and a few strong men shot arrows at the male soldiers, traitors, slaves, and prisoners, and there was a great chaos.

Tang Hu was a little stunned: "Hey, what kind of situation is this?" How did they fight on their own? ”

Tang Yuan reined in his war horse, slowed down his march, his brain teaser was in a hurry, and he suddenly shouted: "Kill a male Jia and reward three acres of land!" ”

This sentence later became a joke, a joke exclusive to these ten people.

"General Tang, do you remember the first time you led the team to fight? At that time, you worked so hard that you gave out six acres of land, hahaha! ”
