The words were very big, but in terms of specifics, Liu Heima was still very careful, he pulled out his horse and turned around for a while, hiding in a distance where the world's most powerful crossbow could not shoot, and then dismounted to rest.

More than 2,000 cavalrymen of the former army, except for some people who were on guard, the rest of the people followed him far away and dismounted one after another to rest.

After running for a day, he immediately went into battle without resting, which was something that only the invincible and authentic Mongols could do, and the Han soldiers did not have that ability, so they had to recover their strength.

Liu Heima sat on a saddle that had been taken off, looked at the riverbank and wooden wall in the distance, and thought sideways, looking for an opening that would break through.

He twisted his head again, trying to find a relatively high place nearby, from a high place to check the deployment and number of people behind the wooden wall, in order to better find out the weak point of the defense, but it looked like it was all flat land, the impact of Jishui for thousands of years washed this piece into a vast flat land, although the crops in the field were trampled by war horses, but it can still be seen that this plain is a good crop land, and the harvest season must be full of greenery and fragrant rice.

Except for the majestic Daba Mountain Range nearly ten miles away, there is no high ground within a radius of ten miles, and there are some behind the wooden wall, but it can't be passed.

Daba Mountain is too steep again, standing here, you can see that it is not easy to climb, Liu Heima estimated it, and felt that it was better to forget it.

In the past, when the two armies were on par with each other, Liu Heima would order trees to be cut down and a tower erected to peek behind the wooden wall, but at this moment, he felt that there was no need to bother.

However, there are still stable people who feel that even if it is troublesome, they should do this, and Liu Chongjin of Qianhu is one.

He took a water skin bag, handed it to Liu Heima, and suggested: "My lord, the situation of the enemy army in front is unknown, and we are in a hurry, in order to be stable, do you wait until we find out the situation on the other side and then make plans?" ”

"No need." Liu Heima Niu took a sip of the sweet cold water in the leather bag, and said with a big sting: "We are here to run horses and rest, the movement is so big, if we are an ordinary army, we will already be crowded with guards on the wall." Now you see, there is not even a sound behind the wooden wall, and the flag is not waved, maybe there are only three or two cats and dogs shaking behind them. Kublai Khan is in pursuit, and if he had known that we were delayed by some stragglers, we would have fallen into laughter. ”

"This ....." Liu Chongjin thought so, but he knew more about the news of Wanyan Chenghei than Liu Heima, so he said: "The Jin people here are the remnants of the loyal and filial piety army back then, and Fan Yongji can't help it for many years, so I'm afraid of ......."

"Hahaha! Liu Chongjin, Liu Chongjin, you haven't seen Fan Yongji's ability, he has been greedy for comfort and wealth all these years, and he has long forgotten how much strength he should use to hold a knife, his rich and noble soldiers, it is estimated that it is difficult to even suppress a mountain bandit, and what he can't do is not worth mentioning to our tiger and wolf army. Liu Heimaha laughed, wiping the droplets from the corners of his mouth and disdainfully: "Don't worry, our two thousand sons here are all crawling out of the pile of dead people, and they will inevitably break through in the future!" ”

He said it very firmly, Liu Chongjin was also infected by him, and felt that he was really worried, so he laughed a few times, and diligently touched out a few pieces of dried meat, and handed them to Liu Heima to satisfy his hunger.

Liu Heima chewed a few pieces, then got up, waved his hand, and shouted: "Okay, it's almost enough, set up the drum and prepare for the horn!" ”

At his command, a cowhide drum was erected a little farther behind him, and to the rhythm of the drum, the Han soldiers began to gather in formation, and as for their horses, they were all gathered together and pressed behind.

There are three formations, led by three thousand households, each facing a section of wooden wall, Liu Heima himself did not go into battle, he re-mounted his mount, so that he could command the battle a little higher.

The wooden wall is very long, extending nearly three miles from the junction of Jishui and Hanshui to the direction of the mountain range, and further away, because of the relationship between a mountain beam belonging to the Daba Mountain Range that suddenly stretches out in the direction of Hanshui, it is like a natural impassable city wall.

In other words, no matter how many people Liu Heima brought, he could only obediently line up in front of the wooden wall to attack the city, and unless he made a heart and would rather take the people and horses to climb over the Yunyun Peak, which only a bold and nimble herb picker could climb, otherwise, he would not be able to stay here and go anywhere.

In fact, he hadn't thought that far ahead, and the idea of climbing a mountain hadn't flashed in his mind at all, and he was optimistic that this wooden wall would be as easily crushed by himself as the one he had encountered before.

Look at the sky, there is no wind and no clouds, the sun is just right, it is a good weather for fighting.

The three dismounted cavalry in front of them as foot soldiers have come to the starting position under the leadership of three thousand households, and these positions are also very particular, not the appearance of you and me and me at an equal distance from you, two teams of people, close to each other, can be combined into one team at any time, which hides the meaning of concentrating on breaking through a little.

If the guards behind the wooden wall saw that these two forces were strong, and deliberately concentrated their men to deal with them, then the third group of soldiers would have an excellent chance.

The simple deployment reflects the ability of Liu Heima's veteran on the battlefield, and he feels that this arrangement is enough.

I can find a watertight house to sleep in Jincheng tonight, I hope those Jin people don't do things too desperately, if they burn the city and flee like Junzhou, it will be too annoying.

"Three-way drum!" Liu Heima squinted his eyes and looked at the reaction behind the wooden wall, the Han soldiers in front were already within the range of the compound crossbow and could not approach slowly, at this moment they needed to charge and approach quickly.

The drum beat suddenly intensified, and the tom tom drum sound was like the raindrops hitting the tiles in a rainstorm, which instantly lifted people's hearts.

"Kill!"

More than 2,000 soldiers drank in unison, like three torrents pouring down from the high mountains, and quickly rushed towards the wooden wall that still had no reaction.

The faster the Han soldiers ran under their feet, the less likely they were to be shot by the guards' bows and crossbows.

A hundred zhang from the river, there is no reaction behind the wall.

Fifty zhang, still no response.

Twenty zhang, still no response.

Liu Heima squinted his eyes and looked at it calmly, without blinking his eyelids.

When I arrived at the river, the surface of the river, which was less than ten zhang wide, including the opposite side of the silt area by the river, was a wooden wall more than one person high, and there was still no response behind the wall.

Deathly silence.

Is there no one in the back?

The Han soldiers who ran ahead had such a thought in their hearts, and they held their shields to protect their bodies, and the expected shot did not appear, which surprised and delighted them.

Soon it will be the most dangerous time, when wading across the river and stepping on the silt is when it is a live target, as long as you move under the wooden wall, there is basically no problem.

This is an optimistic idea, of course Liu Heima will not think so, on the contrary, he has an increasingly strong sense of crisis in his heart, and he feels that this time he will probably run into a hard stubble.

Whether the army is strong or not, whether it can fight or not, does not depend on the number of people, but on whether it is calm or not, whether it listens to the command, and no matter how many people half-heartedly tell you to stop, if you have to run, then you will lose the battle.

The silent army is the most terrible.

Liu Heima couldn't help but clench the whip in his hand, and the whip made of cowhide was twisted into a twist by him.

The soldier who ran at the front began to wade across the river, and the river was so shallow that it didn't even reach his knees, and anyone could walk through it.

Immediately after, a large number of Han soldiers began to enter the water, and for a time the muddy river beach was full of people.

Although they were all moving fast, their feet were covered in wet mud, and they certainly wouldn't be as fast as they were on the shore.

Liu Heima's hand clenched a little tighter, he knew that it was time to come.

As he expected, behind the wooden wall at the far end, there was a soft sound of "Peng", some like a green bamboo being bent and pulled, and then suddenly let go of the bouncing sound.

"Be careful!" Someone shouted bitterly: "The enemy has released arrows!" ”

Behind the wooden wall, a cloud rose for no reason, not much like a cloud, more like a flying locust, a black rain.

Immediately after, the sound of bowstrings sounded one after another, and countless small openings opened on the wooden wall at the same time, and crossbows stretched out from inside, aiming sharp arrows at the Han soldiers struggling in the middle of the river, and shot them violently.
