The Shijia army on the north bank of the water has long been ready for battle. With the sharp spirit of the Zhaozhou battalion that won a great victory on the nameless wooden bridge the day before yesterday, the soldiers did not have much fear of the upcoming battle. "A few hundred people in the Zhaozhou battalion can withstand the Li Jiajun for a whole day, and more than 5,000 of us will definitely be able to do it." That's how most people cheer themselves up. 'The master of the stone village picked the battle surname Chai for a morning, and only now did he dare to cross the river, obviously afraid of us! Many of the low-level leaders encouraged their subordinates.

On the surface, he despised the enemy, but in terms of tactics, Shi Zan used all his skills. Referring to Wu Tianxi's experience a few days ago, he concentrated all the soldiers in the army who used long weapons, whether they were lancers, spearmen, or machetes, in the front row after row of the phalanx. Behind the layers of long weapons are more than 700 foot archers. Behind and flanked by the archers were the Pak swordsmen armed with shields and short weapons, whose main task was to protect the archers from being slashed by the enemy while keeping the flanks of the phalanx intact, and it is difficult to predict how long they would hold out. At the end of the phalanx, Wu Tianxi and the three hundred Mo swordsmen were hidden. 4。 That was the last resort in Shi Zhan's heart to turn things around, and he would never use it lightly until he had to.

For Chai Shao, who is familiar with military books, this large phalanx is obviously full of flaws. After a little consideration, he had a way to deal with it. Huaihualang led Sun Yanwu and the two brigade commanders to slowly advance from the two bridges in the middle. Guide Zhonglang's general Li Rong and the guerrilla general Ma Zeqing each took a brigade and Pu Daomen boarded the two pontoon bridges on the left and right sides of the center. Standing on the outermost two pontoon bridges were the two captains of Jiang Qin and Yang Huai, who were under the command of the two captains, Pu Daomen and archers, who slowly moved sideways to the other side of the river. The six teams were simultaneously adjusted by the drums behind their bodies, forming a sharp cone as they advanced. The top of the cone is directly in the center of the opposing array.

"Woo woo-" The sound of the horn blew cold in the morning breeze.

"Knock knock knock!" The drums of war beat like rain, urging people to quicken their pace.

Time suddenly slowed down, as if it were like the morning mist on the bridge. 4。 Suddenly, the sun jumped into the sky again, and the procession on the bridge surged forward, surging and surging slowly. "Woo-" There was another terrible horn, and the soldier walking on the two pontoons in the center pulled down the armor of the protective face, flattened it, and bowed to his feet. "Knock knock!" The tone of the drum suddenly stirred up like thunder rolling across the sky. The crowd first froze, then exploded like a tidal wave, rolling in shouts and rushing to the opposite shore.

One hundred and twenty steps, one hundred steps, eighty steps. The archers took the lead, and the white feathers flew around on both sides. First there were dozens, hundreds, and then they were overwhelming. The river wind blew some of it off, but most of it fell into the established area. The front end of the static phalanx was suddenly punched out of countless gaps, blood and light splashed, and the wails were endless. Many of the people in the rushing team also fell down, were trampled on the soles of their own robes, or pushed off the bridge.

"Shoot!" Shi Chan waved his drumstick and commanded loudly.

Woo! Hundreds of arrows of death flew up into the air with the sound of the wind, swept across the river, and faced the Li family disciples on the bridge. 8。

"Shoot!" Fen Wulang waved Jiang Qin's horizontal sword majestically.

Woo! Hundreds of arrows of death flew into the air with the sound of the wind, swept across the river, and stabbed towards the Shijia military formation.

"Shoot!" Shi Chan waved his drumstick again.

"Shoot!" Jiang Qin raised his horizontal knife again.

Feathered arrows brought up clouds of blood mist back and forth. In the blood mist, the phalanx of the Shi family's army swayed from side to side like a banana in a storm, but it did not move an inch. In the blood mist, the Li family's army column was shattered into pieces. On the bridge deck where the red mist was rolling, the wounded fell one after another, but the attacking team continued to persistently move forward for a moment.

Neither side made adjustments, nor did they have time to make further adjustments. The dead and wounded were dragged out of the line and set aside. Cold sweat hung on the faces of the living, and their teeth were tightened, ready to meet the next wave of blows with flesh and blood. The fourth round of arrows soon fell again, taking more lives with them. 1。 The archers didn't look at it, pulled their bowstrings and placed a fifth feathered arrow on their arm.

When the white feather is in the air, the wind is bleak, the blood blooms like a lotus, and the life withers like a residual lotus.

The water was surging and flowing, and it was once again stained red with human blood. It was like a river of blood flowing from under your feet to the sky.

Fortunately, the effective killing range of the feather arrows on both sides was only more than a hundred steps, but fortunately, the distance between the two sides was close enough. Just as the river was about to be clogged by corpses, the forwards on both sides burst out with a shout at the same time, and then the flat-ended lances slammed into each other solidly.

"Boom!" Flesh and blood splattered and shook the mountains.

Taking advantage of the custom of jumping off the bridge, the Li family's sergeant instantly knocked the Shi family's military array out of a gap. Dozens of lancers rushed in along the gap, stabbing the enemies around them one by one. The phalanx trembled and trembled, and screamed like an elm that had been struck by an axe. Cracking hard and then closing hard. 1。 Countless weapons came from all directions, stabbing the Li family soldiers who rushed forward and stumbling and stabbing them into a sieve. The phalanx suddenly squeezed back to its original state. The dead and wounded of the Li family were pushed out of the formation and could not move forward for half a step.

Shi Zhan's harassment tactics that he had been fighting since early in the morning finally took effect. The soldiers of the Li family, who were awakened in their sleep and waited in the camp tent for nearly an hour, were all tired and tired, and the tactics and movements they had trained were extremely jerky. And the Shi family army, who was standing on the shore and waiting, was in good spirits, and sent the Li family children to hell one by one before they recovered their spirits.

The attack was slow to reach the intended target. Chai Shao couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Frowning and thinking for a moment, he waved the Command Banner and made another tactical adjustment.

The sound of the horn sends the order to the front. The junior officer was not afraid of life and death, and strode down from the bridge. Immediately after, more soldiers of the Li family jumped off the bridge deck, forming a small group with their own robes in front of the phalanx, flowing across the shallow water on the bank of the river, and fighting each other forward. 1。 They peeled back several enemy soldiers, and then stabbed themselves and threw themselves on top of the enemy's corpse, turning into the next corpse. A new assault was on the corpses, stomping on blood, mud, and the arms and backs of the dead and wounded.

"Kill the thief!" In a flash, Huaihualang General Sun Yanwu had already rushed to the front line, shouting with a horizontal knife. Several loyal guards sandwiched him in front of him, with long lances in front of him, stabbing forward to pry open a gap in the enemy phalanx once more. Sun Yanwu rushed in with an arrow step, squatted down, swept the knife quickly, and several human legs flew up along the sword light. The wounded screamed. Without waiting for the opponent to react, Sun Yanwu took another step forward, or squatted and swept around, as if there was an extra gap, and then swept the gap, which instantly increased, and the Li family soldiers behind him quickly filled the gap that the general rushed out, and squeezed the children of the Dou family into the distance.

In the blink of an eye, at least more than ten people fell under Sun Yanwu's knife. 4。 Blood splattered all over his body, dripping down the edges of his armor. But he refused to stop for half a step, and continued to shout and charge. Forward forward, forward again, hand knife falls, as if into no man's land.

At the same time, Guide Zhonglang jumped Li Rong off the pontoon bridge and rushed into the Shijia military formation from the left flank. The guerrilla general Ma Zeqing jumped off the pontoon bridge and led his subordinates to break into the Shijia military formation from the right flank, and the three brave generals echoed each other like three fierce tigers pounced on the sheep. The phalanx of the Shi Jiajun once again cracked and cracked, and the cracks became bigger and bigger. Seeing that the phalanx was about to collapse, Shi Zan suddenly stopped beating the drum and grabbed a dark black order flag from his hand.

"Woo woo oo A dozen wooden rafts suddenly burst out of the dry reeds on the riverbank. Each platoon carried a dozen shirtless dead men and a large pile of dried reeds that had been doused with oil. Without waiting for Li Jiajun to react, the dead soldiers grabbed the penny prepared in advance and struggled to hold on. 9。 In an instant, the raft was propped up to the middle of the river. Then, with all the force, a dozen or so wooden rafts turned into a long dragon and crashed along the river towards the pontoon bridge.

"Stop them!" Duan Zhixuan reacted quickly and gave an order on behalf of Chai Shao.

"Archers shoot wooden platoons shoot wooden platoons!" Almost at the same time, Chai Shao's own soldiers also opened their throats and spread the latest order throughout the army. The Li family archers, who were bending their bows and arrows to find their targets at random, immediately turned around and shot the overwhelming feathered arrows into the middle of the river. Immediately a rain of arrows fell on the wide river. The red water splashed with red blood splashes, and the Shi family sergeant who was shot fell into the river like dumplings. However, the wooden rafts were pushed by inertia and the current to approach the pontoon bridge without stopping.

"Bang!" Two wooden platoons collided with the sandbags that were dragging the pontoon, making a dull thud. The makeshift wooden bridge shook and then slowly regained its composure. Didn't break! The children of the Li family, who were crossing the river in a procession, breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could take this breath, a thick smoke suddenly rose from the wooden raft, and the reeds and branches placed on the wooden raft in advance were all ignited, and the thick smoke rolled up the bridge deck with the flames. 2。

"Ahh The soldiers of the Li family were caught off guard, pushing each other in the fire and smoke, crowded, crackling and falling into the water.

The rest of the smoke-emitting wooden platoons continued to pounce on the second pontoon bridge under the control of the death squads. "Stop them with arrows!" In an instant, the attention of all the archers of the Li family army was attracted by the burning wooden platoon, and they desperately shot into the river. One by one, the dead soldiers who operated the wooden rafts were shot into hedgehogs, but when they were dying, they used their last strength to push the pennies and struggled to get closer to the wooden rafts inch by inch towards the bridge pier.

You won't let me live, and I won't let you live. In the midst of sneering, the wooden platoon crashed into the pontoon bridge, and the warriors of the Shi Family Army, covered with feathered arrows, turned over and fell into the water. At this moment, there was no fear in his eyes, only pride. He did his best. is worthy of the twenty bounties given by General Shi Zhan, and is also worthy of the father and fellow villagers who are watching him on the other side of the river. 9。 If he becomes the emperor in the future, no matter who becomes the emperor, his children and grandchildren can use the twenty reward money to buy land, open up wasteland, marry a wife, have children, and live a life far happier than that of his fathers.

His demands are so simple, life is so cheap. His name will never be recorded in history. But his figure has been written in 4,000 years of history.

I just hope that my descendants will live better than myself and live like people. There is no other luxury, but for this you can endure all the tribulations.

The smoke-emitting bamboo rafts swooped down the river to the third pontoon. The soldiers of the Li family on the bridge were almost stunned, refusing to continue moving forward, but they couldn't retreat. They watched as the dragon of fireworks rushed to their feet, and they saw the flames rolling towards them. Then, countless people screamed and jumped into the water and fled to the shore before the flames burned to their bodies. Regardless of the hoarse shouting and scolding of the commander behind him, or the depth of the river, it was only past the collarbone.

The third, fourth, and pontoon bridges 6 were hit by wooden platoons, and under the control of the surviving Shi Jiajun dead soldiers on the wooden platoons, four pontoon bridges were blocked by fire. The non-commissioned officers on the fifth pontoon bridge reacted in time, jumped into the water under the leadership of a colonel, and blocked the path of the wooden platoon with his body. After some fighting, they killed all the warriors of the Shijia army on the wooden platoon, and kept the last two passages for the army to cross the river.

The rest of the rafts lost their owners, swirling and drifting under the last pontoon bridge in thick smoke. On the pontoon, the Li family soldiers cheered one by one, and cold sweat rolled down their cheeks.

"Cross the river and cross the river without stopping!" Zhao Wulang shouted at Yang Huai and urged his robe to continue to move forward. Li Jiajun did not have an advantage in the number of contacts between the two sides, and it was easy for the other side to catch a flaw as soon as the attack stopped.

His reaction was not unpleasant, but it didn't help. There was only so much firewood and grass on a wooden raft that no pontoon bridge could be burned. And what Shi Chan asked for was not to completely burn the pontoon bridge. After paying so many lives, all he needed was to stop the Li Jiajun's offensive.

Stop, stop, stop, stop, just a short stagnation is enough.

"The whole army will squeeze the eight lambs down the river!" Taking advantage of the stagnation of the enemy's attack on the pontoon, Shi Chan gave a loud order, dropped the drumstick, and grabbed the horizontal knife with his hand.

"All march!" Shi Chong, Shi Hui, Zhang Quan, Feng Qing and other generals all grabbed their weapons and joined the counterattack sequence.

The large phalanx, which had been standing under the impact of Li Jiajun, suddenly contracted, and then slowly pushed forward. One by one, the soldiers followed one after the other. Sun Yanwu, Ma Zeqing and others, who had already rushed into the phalanx, fought hard but could not stop the other party's footsteps. The gap created by their own bravery slowly narrowed and was slowly squeezed into vertical strips. The follow-up robes can't keep up and can't catch up.
