The Amu Darya River in the valley of the Surhan River is not too wide, but it is about eighty zhang, but the water flow is very turbulent, the waves are turbulent, the deepest part of the water is not to say that there are five zhang up and down, the river water contains a large amount of sand, yellow-brown, at first glance, it looks like the Yellow River that has been reduced in size, the difference is that the upper reaches of the Amu Darya River are many dangerous valleys, but the downstream is mostly shallow, since ancient times it has not been navigable, and the nomads are not good at water, and they do not like to eat river fish, since there is no fishing boat, ferry, there is no doubt The boat-building technique can only be described by the word very poor, as for the rowing technique, it is even worse to the extreme, nearly a hundred small boats have just gone into the water, and before they have rowed far, several of them have overturned in the waves, and the big food soldiers on the boat have fallen into the river like dumplings, and after only a few struggles in the big waves, they were completely swallowed by the raging river, and the cry before death was really terrifying.

"Row, row, don't stop!"

Because of yesterday's Mustafa Ibn Yan's coma in front of the battle, the Amu River escaped the punishment of defeat, but it is the so-called to hide from the first day of the new year, can not hide from the fifteenth, last night the Amu River was called to the Chinese army tent, after a scolding of the head and face, this morning the burden of leading the troops to cross the river fell on its head without accident, poor Amu River is a war general, this life has never been into the water, this time the boat moved, the heart jumped without saying, both hands tightly grasped the side of the boat, and then saw that there was a boat around him overturned, was even more nervous to the extreme, and the hand that grabbed the side of the ship was holding back white marks, but the duty was on his body, even if he was afraid, he had to pretend to be calm, and roared tremblingly.

Paddle, row, don't say that the Amu River has given a death order, even if it is not, it has entered the rapids, and the officers and soldiers of the Great Food in order to save their lives, they can only do their best to wave the wood pulp in their hands, of course, this technology, that is really not flattering, this is not, many boats set off together, but when they arrived at the center of the river, it was already a big chaos, because of collisions or improper operation, nearly ten boats overturned in the river, and the soldiers and baggage on the boats were undoubtedly all buried in the rapids, The rest was also chaotic enough, swept by the water and drifted downstream, after a good toss, finally nearly half of the boat arrived on the other side, before the departure of a thousand soldiers, really to the other side of the bank there are only less than five hundred, but the Amu River character exploded, except for being splashed by the big waves, nothing happened.

"Quick, quick, you guys go and look around, and you, hurry up, set up a stake, quick!"

As soon as his feet stepped on the land, Amuhe's heart swelled up, ignoring the fact that the military had just calmed down, and he began to shout, sending people to check the enemy's situation, and ordering the troops to quickly unload the military supplies on the boat, and at the same time, he did not forget to order the wooden stakes needed for the erection of the rope bridge, and he was busy not touching the ground.

The big food army is not good at water, but the ability to build a bridge is still there, the plan is also well-thought, more than 30 boats are tied to the back of the long rope, one end is tied to the stern, one end is pulled in the hands of the soldiers on the shore, once the river is crossed, only the rope behind the boat is untied, after the piles are erected in rows, a bolt is put on the pile, and then a wooden plank is laid on the rope bridge, several suspension bridges can be built, and at that time, the army crossing the river is no longer a dream.

"Woo, woo, woo......"

The dream is undoubtedly beautiful, but unfortunately this beauty is just a gorgeous and colorful soap bubble, very fragile, before the big food army began to open the formation, I heard a terrible horn sound in the mountains several miles away, and even saw the smoke and dust billowing up, a large group of ** officers and soldiers were rushing towards the horses.

"Quick, line up along the river and prepare to meet the enemy!"

As soon as he saw the smoke and dust rising in the distance, although he had already expected that there would be an ambush nine times out of ten, but when he saw this, Amuhe's heart couldn't help but tighten, and he didn't dare to have the slightest carelessness, so he roared wildly regardless of the ground, and ordered his troops to quickly stop the bridge project.

Before the big food army crossed the river this time, it was expected that there should be an ambush on the other side of the river, and a lot of effort was put into the preparation, many boats were specially carried with blades, chain mail, bows and arrows, shields and other weapons and equipment, at this time, I heard the roar of the Amu River so urgently, how dare I be careless, I put down the work in my hands, pounced on the boat carrying the weapons, unloaded the weapons and equipment with all hands and feet, and hurriedly put them on. But I saw nearly 500 food troops standing in five columns, the first row was the shield swordsmen, the rows of waist-high shields stood like a wall, followed by two rows of swordsmen, and then two rows of archers, all the officers and soldiers were wearing chain mail, the formation was tight, at first glance it was about to pass, quite a bit of the posture of the ancient Roman infantry regiment.

Of course, the formation of the Great Food Army is only similar to the shape but the god is much worse, after all, this set of the Great Food Army is a copycat from the Eastern Roman Empire, and the Eastern Front troops are relying on the gourd to draw some cottage goods from the Western Front troops, and the defensive ability is very different from the infantry corps of the ancient Roman Empire, but it is still quite effective to defend against the surprise attack of the light cavalry, not to mention, the Eastern Front troops have never been disrupted by the tribal armies in the Eastern Front area, as for being used to deal with** How effective the cavalry is, it will have to be tested before we know.

"The whole army stopped, the army dismounted and lined up, and the cavalry held down the position!"

**The valley is four miles away from the straight line distance of the river bank, and the position where the Great Food Army lands is farther away, but it is far from where, and it is less than five miles away, for the galloping war horse, that is, more than a quarter of an hour's footsteps, it soon appeared less than three hundred steps away from the Great Food Army Array, when the first iron-blooded flag, the horse rushed to the Western Expeditionary Army Deputy Marshal Xiao Sanlang, this saw that the Great Food Army was already prepared, Xiao Sanlang did not drive the troops to attack directly, but stopped the soldiers, Calmly gave the order.

Xiao Sanlang's troops and horses are not much, there is only one battalion of cavalry with 1,000 people outside the army, but the total strength is more than twice as much as the big food army that crossed the river, this column is in good formation, it is much more spectacular than the big food army, but seeing the army in front, standing in three rows, more than 800 spears pointed directly at the big food army formation, the muzzle of the black hole is full of killing machines, and the 1,000 cavalry is sitting firmly on horseback, each hand pressing the hilt, although there is no word, but a breath of slaughter is rushing to the sky, straight up to the clouds.

"Attack!"

As soon as the formation was lined up, Xiao Sanlang didn't hesitate at all, waved his hand, and gave the order coldly.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

The general order, the drummers on both sides of each company immediately sounded the marching drum, and the ** army standing in three rows began to press forward, although the speed was not very fast, but the momentum was amazing, and the neat steps shook the earth, and the sand was flying, and the killing machine rose sharply.

"Shield formation, archers ready!"

In yesterday's battle, the Amu River department has tasted enough of the muskets, this saw more than 800 ** raised guns and pressed forward, the formation couldn't help but have some commotion, seeing this, Amu He had to roar and give an order, even if this order actually has no practical significance, after all, the distance between the two sides is still 300 steps, on the bow and arrow in the hands of the big food army The pitiful range of more than 50 steps, how can it threaten to get the ** formation, but no matter what, an order is an order, although it is useless, However, it can still play a role in stabilizing the morale of the military.

Two hundred and fifty steps, two hundred steps, one hundred and fifty steps, one hundred and twenty steps......

** didn't pay attention to how the big food army was on full alert, unhurriedly advanced, until it was only about a hundred steps away from the big food army, the drum beat changed suddenly, and the ** "swish" that was originally walking stopped at all, and with the command of the company commanders, the three platoons of ** officers and soldiers began to shoot the performance.

"Bah, Bah, Bah......"

In the face of the big food army that is still not far away, the first officers and soldiers will not have the slightest politeness at all, a tight burst of gunfire, the bullets are like a torrential rain towards the big food army array, poor big food army was caught off guard, and it was beaten into a big mess, the scimitar is useless, the bow and arrow are just decorations, the chain mail can not provide much protection, as for the waist-high shield can play a role, but the foot can not protect the head, in the face of the ** offensive, heavy casualties are inevitable.

"Rush, rush me, kill it!"

Seeing that standing in place and lining up can only be passively beaten, after a long time, it is destined to be the end of the whole army, Amu Heden was anxious, yelled, regardless of the ground, he drove the troops forward and rushed forward, trying to fight hand-to-hand with ** hand-to-hand combat.

Amuhe's reaction was very fast, but unfortunately it was just speeding up to death, just ** this rate of fire, not to mention that the big food army only relied on two legs to gallop, that is, he rushed on horseback, and didn't want to rush close under the barrage interception** formation, if he didn't give the order to attack, he could barely support some more time, but this rush, the casualties immediately increased sharply, and the officers and soldiers who dared to step forward were all shot and killed on the spot, even the main general of Amu River did not escape a death, and was shot into a sieve by random guns, However, some people with more agile minds fell to the ground in time, which was considered to have escaped the sweep of the bullets, but before and after the time when it was less than a cup of tea, the Great Food Army array was gone, and all the officers and soldiers were either lying on the ground with their heads on the ground, or they were lying on the ground with their heads clenched and became ostriches......
