"The enemy has crossed the river!"

The soldiers who were the first to be found, after a few shouts, almost all the soldiers stationed at the ferry noticed the black spot in the river, the enemy boat.

Dozens of enemy ships, not to mention thousands, can they resist just a thousand people on the riverside?

Yu Yunwen had no bottom in his heart.

But whether they can stop the enemy from crossing the river or not, they must resist, otherwise Taiping Prefecture will be lost. Taiping Prefecture was lost, and the enemy's hundreds of thousands of troops definitely crossed the river smoothly, and then drove straight into the south of the Yangtze River.

What's more, the enemy is not simply grabbing grain and grass this time, but to seize the land of the Great Song Dynasty, saying that it is Jiangbei, if they can cross the river to Jiangnan, they will definitely not retreat.

The Great Song Dynasty lost the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, is it still the Great Song Dynasty?

Lose Jiangnan, and the Great Song Dynasty will die!

Standing by the river, looking at the bigger and bigger black spots in the Yangtze River, Yu Yunwen had no choice, this battle had to be fought, and it had to be fought!

"Great Song soldiers! The enemy is like a jackal, and now that the jackal has come, let's pick up the swords and guns, defend our homes, defend our loved ones, and drive them back! Yu Yunwen walked in front of the Chinese army.

The soldiers were hungry, holding weapons, looking at the black spots in the river.

"If you can come here today to defend against the enemy, you are the loyal ministers and good generals of the Great Song Dynasty, and you are the heroes of the Great Song Dynasty! I, Yu, came here on behalf of the emperor, that is, to advance and retreat with the heroes, resist the enemy army, and defend Taiping Prefecture together! What Yu said yesterday is absolutely a word, as long as this battle is won, it can block the enemy army, everyone will be rewarded for meritorious deeds, money and official positions, everything! Now you may be an ordinary soldier, maybe when this battle is over, you will be a team general, a general, a commander, or even a commander! Soldiers, get ready for battle! ”

After listening to Yu Yunwen's words, the soldiers' blood was boiling, and their cold and stiff bodies seemed to be instantly activated, and their whole bodies were full of strength!

The enemy is good at shooting, they can't be exposed to the ferry and fight hard, they have to put the enemy army crossing the river ashore, close to each other, and win the battle, and the enemy army can't let their archery skills play, otherwise there will be no one on the riverside after a few rounds of arrow rain.

So under the command of Yu Yunwen, the 500 Chinese troops were divided into three teams and hid in the woods and grass around the ferry, with swords and spearmen in front and archers in the back.

Then Yu Yunwen used the red, white, and black flags to agree on the order of attack with the left, center, and right armies, and when he saw the red flag, the left army attacked, and when he saw the white flag, the Chinese army attacked, and when he saw the black flag, the right army attacked!

After the agreement, Yu Yunwen climbed on a hill fifty or sixty zhang away from the Taiping Ferry, condescendingly, looking at the overall situation.

Although the enemy's boats crossed the river slowly, they were still getting closer and closer to the Taiping Ferry.

Yu Yunwen, who was standing on the top of the mountain, had a lot of thoughts, how could a good Song Dynasty be cut off so easily, if he usually prepared a little border defense and river defense, it would not be what it is now.

In addition, the unpreparedness of the frontier has nothing to do with the tendency of the guards to flee when they hear the news; if the governor of Taiping Prefecture does not run away, the soldiers who remain here will have something to eat, and the government will come forward, and they will definitely be able to organize an army of three or four thousand people, and if the enemy troops cross the river in batches, they will resist for ten days and half a month, which should not be too much of a problem.

But it's too late to think about anything now!

Da Song, are you going to die today?

I don't know how many people want to bury you!

The river breeze blew, Yu Yunwen felt the cold, looking at the surging Yangtze River, and felt infinite sadness in his heart.

Sichuan, I can't go back, let's be peaceful in this Taiping Prefecture today!

Half an hour later, the first enemy ship full of enemy soldiers docked at the ferry, dozens of people staggered and quickly disembarked and occupied the ferry, and other enemy ships followed one after another.

Hundreds of enemy soldiers gathered at the ferry, and there were dozens of enemy ships full of enemy troops in the river, Yu Yunwen held the flag and panicked.

After a dozen or so ships of enemy troops disembarked, they saw that the ferry was undefended, and they formed a little formation, so they quickly advanced along the ferry road, hoping to get the first credit for occupying the city.

When the enemy army arrived at the ambush place of the Chinese army, the time had come, Yu Yunwen raised the white flag, shook it sharply, and hit the army to attack!

The commander of the Chinese army who was ambushed at the ferry, after the enemy landed on the shore, had been staring at the flag on the hill, waiting for orders, and at this time saw the enemy passing in front of him, and was considering whether to attack, suddenly saw the white flag shaking above, and immediately shouted: "Kill!" ”

At the command, the archers, who had already drawn their bows, immediately released a round of sharp arrows, and at a distance of a few feet, the enemy soldiers responded with arrows.

The archer drew his bow and fired three arrows in a very short time, hitting many enemy soldiers.

But the first batch of enemy soldiers who crossed the river were all specially selected elites, and the speed of reaction in the face of the attack was staggering!

After the panic of the first round of arrows, he immediately took his bow and set up his arrows, and formed a situation of shooting against the third round of arrows of the ambushed archers.

Seeing this, the temporary commander of the Chinese army immediately made a decision and shouted: "Rush! ”

The soldiers, who had been in ambush in the grass and woods for a long time, heard the order and immediately rushed out with their knives and guns.

Because their ambush was very close to the enemy, as soon as they came out of the woods and grass, they instantly rushed into the enemy camp that was fighting back, brandished their swords and guns, and instantly fought with the enemy.

In the face of a sudden attack, the enemy soldiers armed with bows and arrows quickly fell to the ground.

But the elite is the elite, in the face of the ambush, although a little panicked, he did not take half a step back, and quickly abandoned his bow and drew his sword, and began to counterattack.

And soon they found out that the number of opponents was limited, at most a hundred, and there was nothing to fear.

Bloody battles with real swords and guns unfolded at the foot of the mountain, and soldiers on both sides continued to fall, and dozens of casualties were inflicted in a matter of moments.

Seeing that the Chinese army and the enemy were still able to resist, Yu Yunwen set his eyes on the enemy ship at the ferry, and found that hundreds of people had landed on the shore, and quickly rushed to the position where the battle was taking place dozens of feet away, while the enemy ship was still docking.

If the enemy's follow-up support keeps joining the melee, and the Chinese army does not get support, it will be at a disadvantage, and when morale is low, it will no longer be able to stop the enemy army.

As soon as the red flag was unfurled, the left army was ordered to attack and join the battle!

The left army, which had been waiting for a long time, saw a red flag appear on the top of the mountain, and gave an order, and more than 300 people of the whole army instantly rushed out from the left side of the ferry, met the enemy troops who came to support, and fought in a melee.

The two groups of battle formations pulled each other, and neither of them could have the absolute upper hand between the enemy and us, showing a situation of equal strength.

Yu Yunwen took his eyes off the battle group, turned to the ferry again, and saw that the ships full of enemy troops were still stopping and docking, in addition, the empty ships that had dropped the enemy troops were not discarded on the spot, but turned the bow of the ship and rowed back to the opposite shore, as if to go back to transport more enemy troops over.

Finding this situation, Yu Yunwen was shocked.

If the enemy forces on the shore can still resist now, then when the reinforcements on the other side arrive, it will be difficult to resist!

As the enemy soldiers who landed at the ferry continued to join the battle, the left army gradually became difficult to resist.

As soon as the black flag on the hill was unfurled, three hundred men of the right army howled and rushed out of the woods and into the battle group.

With the addition of the Right Army, the enemy forces were quickly suppressed and the situation improved considerably!

Yu Yunwen stood on the top of the mountain, paying close attention to the battlefield situation at the bottom of the mountain, and he soon found that the Chinese army seemed to have some signs of being unable to resist, they fought and retreated, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the enemy army advanced the position in the direction of the city more than ten zhang away.

The Chinese army was broken through and could not resist, and it was even more difficult for the left and right armies to resist!

Seeing this, Yu Yunwen immediately decided to return to the city, no matter what, he had to fight, and he must not let the enemy army rush into the city.

Yu Yunwen, under the escort of the forbidden army, rode back to the city.

As soon as they entered the city gate, they saw the wandering soldiers and shouted: "The enemy has crossed the river!" Hurry up and kill the enemy! ”

The soldiers were silent.

Anyway, he was about to starve to death, so someone replied with the courage to say: "My lord, the officials and masters here have already run away, and this place can't be defended, and sooner or later it will be lost." The villain advises you to go home early, it is better to stay alive than to die here. ”

"You know you can't hold it here, why don't you leave?" Yu Yunwen immediately asked rhetorically.

"We are untouchables, where to die is not to die, I don't want to run away, it's good to die in Taiping City, I hope to have a good birth in the next life, it's peaceful!" The soldier replied.

"If you die anywhere, why don't you fight to the death with the enemy soldiers outside the city?" The enemy crossed the river, although Yu Yunwen was in a hurry, there was no way, and the soldiers in the city had no fighting spirit, so they could only convince one by one.

"I haven't fought a battle since I saw an adult, I'm just a pawn, I know that I will die, and I am tired and tired when I go out of the city, and it is not enough for the enemy to stab, why should I suffer before I die? Today, the villain will rely on the courage to teach the adults, in fact, the most important thing is to have the most courageous people to take the lead in charging into battle, and the others will follow to make up for the knife, and the enemy will be disrupted, and when the enemy panics, we can take advantage of the opportunity to win. If you are running when you start a war, why can you win? ”

Seeing Yu Yunwen chatting with him, the soldier's courage became bigger and bigger, and his tone became more and more unpolite.

Yu Yunwen didn't care about these details at this time, listening to the soldier say this, thinking of the actual battle situation he had just observed on the top of the mountain, he suddenly felt that what he said was very reasonable, no one took the lead in the charge, someone will inevitably retreat, one person will retreat, and the others will also retreat, and if they retreat, they will become fleeing, and of course the battle cannot be won.

As soon as he thought of this, he immediately asked, "Is there anyone in this Taiping City who can charge and fight now?" ”

The soldier said, "Yes, how could it not be!" ”

"Where is he? What's the last name? What is the official position? Yu Yunwen was suddenly overjoyed and hurriedly asked.

"I guess I'll sleep in the east of the city, it's not far from here. The man's surname was Ma, and he was a general, and he heard that when he retreated from Zhaoguan, he had a big battle with the pursuers, but the large army ran away first, and he was separated from the large army. The soldier replied.

"Good, good! Take me to him! When Yu Yunwen heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

The soldier did not say a word, and hurried ahead to lead the way.

After a short time, Yu Yunwen followed the soldier to a dilapidated courtyard where stragglers gathered, and saw a man lying on a pile of straw, facing the sun.

"My lord, that's him."
