On April 30, on the last day of Zhao's father's "ten-day period", Anyang Jun Zhao Zhang led Tian Buyu and generals Zhao Yuan, Xu Jun, Niu Qian, and Zhao Xi to meet Zhao's father.

"Master, the armies are ready to force the crossing."

"Good!" Master Zhao's face turned pale when he heard this, and he shouted: "You can pass the order, and the armies will force the river to cross!" …… Zhao Yuan, Xu Jun! ”

"The minister is here!" Zhao Yuan and Xu Jun will come out of the line.

"You two will lead the soldiers as the vanguard."

"Obey!"

After some arrangements were given, Zhao's father led Meng Zhong and Le Yi to the north bank of the river to watch the battle of forcibly crossing the river.

At this time, Meng Zhong looked carefully at the river and found that there were only half of the bridges on the river, and the remaining one-third had not yet been built.

After a little thought, Meng Zhong understood: the remaining one-third of the distance is the reason why Zhao Shu forcibly crossed the river this time, after all, the Qi army on the other side of the river, they will not watch Zhao Shu build a complete bridge, and they will inevitably take countermeasures.

The Zhao army moved together, and such a big movement naturally could not hide the Qi army on the other side of the river, and after a while, a group of Qi troops rushed to reinforce and assist the Qi army on the river bank to resist the Zhao army together.

Seeing this, Meng Zhong secretly looked at the Qi army on the other side, looking at the "Qi" banners waving in the wind.

The flag of Qi is different from Zhao and Song, it is purple as the border of the flag, supplemented by patterns, and the border is slightly lighter red, as for the center, it is the golden "Qi" word, which is about five points red, three points purple, two points gold, from a distance, as if it is a gold smelted in the fire, Meng Zhong does not know what the meaning is.

"Cross the river!"

In the distance, there was the shouting of Zhao General Zhao Yuan.

Suddenly, about thousands of Zhao pawns carried logs and ropes on their backs, and rushed towards the bridge above the river, trying to spread the bridge to the other side of the river as soon as possible.

On both sides of the bridge, the soldiers under the command of Zhao general Xu Jun supported small boats and rafts, and launched a river crossing battle at the same time, intending to take the lead in killing the other side of the river as an assistant, so that the Qi army on the other side of the river could not harass Zhao Yuan's army to build a bridge.

"Shoot the arrows!"

In the midst of the noisy voices, the Qi army on the other side of the river launched the first wave of arrow rain attacks towards Zhao Zhao on the river.

Suddenly, I saw an overwhelming array of arrows coming towards the north shore, and even Meng Zhong subconsciously held his breath at that scene.

It has to be said that Meng Zhong was also a soldier who participated in the battle of Song Teng, but Teng did not have that many crossbowmen at all, so that Meng Zhong did not realize the horror of "ten thousand arrows at once" until this moment - that scene made him unconsciously think of the locust swarm he had seen in Mengyi.

"Ahh

"Ahhh

After a while, the soldiers of Zhao Yuanjun fell to the ground one after another, but the morale of the soldiers did not decrease, the soldiers in front fell, and the soldiers in the back carried the logs and ropes that fell on the bridge and continued to move forward.

These brave Zhao soldiers, under the continuous rain of dense arrows of the Qi army, accelerated the construction of bridges.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"Kill it!"

The raft troops led by Zhao general Xu Jun also increased the speed of rowing.

During this period, whether on the bridge or on the raft, countless Zhao pawns fell into the water because of arrows, and constantly struggled in the water to call for help, but in the end, they were swept away by the raging river - in this fierce and tense moment, no one had the spare power to rescue them.

"Really...... Miserable!'

Witnessing the scene on the river, Meng Zhong took a deep breath and calmed down his slightly restless mood.

He once again personally felt that human lives were too insignificant in such a war-torn year, and in just a few moments after the battle of crossing the river began, the Zhao army lost at least more than 1,000 soldiers, and this loss number was still increasing rapidly.

He secretly glanced at Master Zhao beside him, but found that Master Zhao's face was tense, his lips were pursed, and there was no wave in his tiger eyes, as if he had long been accustomed to sacrifice in war.

"Ci is not in charge of the army...... What?'

Recalling the truth that Master Zhao had taught him a while ago, Meng Zhong slowly exhaled and turned his attention to the battlefield again.

Reason made him understand that if he wanted to be a soldier who could protect his relatives and family, then he had to abandon unnecessary "kindness" and "sympathy" - just like now.

Just as Meng Zhong was thinking about it, the raft troops led by Zhao General Xu Jun had taken the lead in landing on the other side of the river.

For a while, it seemed that a few drops of water were dripping into the boiling oil, making the entire battlefield noisy and chaotic.

Meng Zhong witnessed with his own eyes that when Xu Junjun landed, the Qi army on the opposite side was neatly blocked on the river bank, stabbing at those Zhao pawns who tried to land with long halberds and long ge, like an impermeable wall.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Sergeant Zhao burst out with an astonishing shout, and the momentum of the Sergeant Qi on the opposite side was not far behind, and the two sergeants were on the riverbank, starting a battle for the riverbank.

If Zhao Zhao can seize the river bank line and force the Qi army to retreat, then the soldiers under the command of Zhao General Zhao Yuan can build the remaining one-third of the bridge without worry, so that hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops can cross the river; On the contrary, the Zhao army's attempt to force the crossing of the river today will be defeated.

"Ding-ding-"

"Bell-"

"Kill!"

Accompanied by the endless sound of metal clashes, the Zhao army and the Qi army started a bloody battle on the other side of the river, and the intensity of the scene, even if Meng Zhong looked at it from a distance on this side of the river, made him unconsciously hold his breath, and his right fist was clenched in the air, as if he was secretly nervous for those Zhao pawns.

I have to say that across the distance of a big river, Meng Zhong couldn't clearly see the fighting on the other side of the river, he could only take a rough look, but he could still see that a Zhao pawn who bravely rushed to the riverbank was killed by the Qi soldiers, turned into a corpse and fell on the riverbank, and even rolled back into the river and was washed downstream by the river.

The scene was too tragic.

After about a moment of this, the wind gradually turned to the Zhao army, because more and more Zhao soldiers used boats and rafts to kill the other side, and these brave and respectable Zhao soldiers used their lives to build up an advantage, forcing the Qi soldiers to retreat little by little.

At this time, Meng Zhong suddenly heard Master Zhao's father beside him let out a long breath.

He secretly glanced at Master Zhao's father, only to find that the complexion on Master Zhao's face had eased for a long time, at least it was no longer as tense as Fang Cai.

Obviously, this is because Zhao Jun has gradually grasped the advantage.

I have to say that the Zhao army gradually grasped the advantage, which is inevitable, after all, the Zhao army and the Qi army on the other side of the river, the difference between the strength of the two armies is too far, one side has more than 100,000 soldiers, and the other side, there are only about 20,000 or 30,000 people, not to mention that Zhao Shu's individual strength is above Qi Shu, it is no exaggeration to say that as long as Zhao Shu is allowed to gain a firm foothold on the other side of the river and organize a formation, then the defeat of the Qi army on the other side is only a matter of time.

While Meng Zhong and the others were watching the battle on the north bank of the river, Zhao General Xu Jun had personally killed him on the other side of the river.

Zhao Guo has many warriors, Xu Jun is also, the bravery of this general, compared with Meng Hu's father Meng Qing, is only stronger than weak, I saw that he was followed by more than a dozen Zhao soldiers, holding a sword in the chaos of the army, slashing and killing one after another Qi army with a halberd, and leading his corporal to break through the strict defense of the Qi soldiers.

"General, the soldiers in front of you can't stop it!"

There was a herald from the Qi army, and the soldiers hurriedly reported the battle situation at the forefront to the Qi general Tian Touch.

"Bang!"

I saw Tian Touch, who was standing on top of the chariot, slammed his right hand on the chariot fence in front of him, and watched the battle on the river bank in the distance with an anxious expression.

To be honest, in fact, Tian Touch was not panicked at this moment, because he had received an urgent letter from Kuang Zhang a few days ago, in which Kuang Zhang taught him a trick to delay Zhao Jun, and Tian Touch had already ordered someone to prepare this strategy yesterday.

The reason why he felt anxious was because he personally realized the difference in strength between Zhao and his Qi pawns.

"If this continues, my soldiers will be defeated by the Zhao army...... I can only use Zhangzi's tricks, I hope I don't want to be seen by Zhao Jun."

Thinking of this, Tian Touch said a few words to the armor soldier on a chariot next to him, who nodded and drove the chariot away.

About a moment later, Tian Feng saw that the soldiers at the front could not stop the Zhao army, so he ordered the whole army to retreat slowly.

Seeing that the Qi army seemed to have the intention of retreating, Zhao General Xu Jun was in high spirits and shouted loudly: "The Qi army has retreated, the Qi army has retreated, and you will kill me in the past!" ”

Suddenly, the morale of Zhao Pawn, who attacked the river bank, was greatly boosted, and he bit Tian Touch's army who tried to retreat.

However, at this moment, an army loomed towards the southwest.

Zhao Zhao noticed this and hurriedly told Zhao General Xu Jun: "General, there may be reinforcements from Qi in the southwest!" ”

"Qi reinforcements?"

Xu Jun's complexion changed slightly, staring at the southwest direction, and after staring at him for more than a dozen breaths, his complexion suddenly changed greatly.

Because he saw that the Qi reinforcements who came to support from the southwest were very chaotic, and in addition to the Qi flag, there were two other kinds of flags.

One of the flags is emerald green with a large "Han" character written in black in the middle – this is the flag of Korea.

The other kind of flag is red as the base, and a huge "Wei" character is written in black in the middle - this is the flag of Wei.

In other words, the support army in the distance turned out to be the allied forces of Qi, Wei, and Han?!

"Kuang...... Chapter?! ”

Xu Jun subconsciously thought of Kuang Zhang, not to mention that the momentum was stagnant, and even his complexion became a little ugly.

You must know that the Qi general Kuang Zhang broke Chu first and then Qin, which was one of the few famous generals in the world, and when he met such famous generals on the battlefield, he was finally Xu Jun, and he instinctively felt a little weak.

Just when Zhao general Xu Jun was panicking, the allied forces of Qi, Wei, and Han in the distance had already been killed, and this army was very bold to cut off Xu Jun's way back.

At the same time, the Qi general Tian Touch led the army back and shouted loudly: "The Zhao army has been selected by Zhangzi's strategy, gentlemen, we will follow Zhangzi and defeat the Zhao army!" ”

As soon as I heard the name of Kuang Zhang, more than 20,000 Han soldiers who had been defeated and retreated by the Zhao army suddenly boosted their morale and turned back to attack the Zhao army.
