Seeing that Liu Yaoben had become the target of the official army's shelling, several guards immediately rushed up and dragged Liu Yaoben, and despite his opposition, they forced him down the river embankment: "Sir, it's too dangerous to stay on it, you better come down!" If something happens, we won't be able to explain it to the general! "These guards all know that Xiao Tianjian likes Liu Yaoben very much, although he did not explicitly accept Liu Yaoben as his righteous son, but the relationship between the two is still quite unusual, even more so Although Liu Yaoben is young, but after becoming the commander of this teaching camp, he is quite resolute and witty, so no one despises him, but admires him quite a lot.

Liu Yaoben spat a few mouthfuls of foam, spit out the sand that fell in his mouth, and sneered: "What are you afraid of?" When did our general get scared? We are all fighting men, how can we be frightened when we hear a few cannon shots? It's not that I underestimate those officers and soldiers, in terms of their abilities, even if I stand in front, they can't beat me! If it were our own cannon and gunner, I might have dodged! Hum! ”

However, under the persuasion of his subordinates, Liu Yaoben still listened to their opinions, retreated to the bottom of the river embankment, and would look at the situation on the other side of the river from time to time.

Pity the people who were driven down the river, some of them stood in the icy water, shivering from the cold, their lips were blue, but the officers and soldiers still did not allow them to go ashore to get a little warmer, and they were not even given hot soup to drink, so they could only struggle to build bridges for the officers and soldiers in the river.

Some people were soon frozen because of the heat dissipation, and one stumbled into the water, and could no longer stand up, and then was carried down the water by the slowly flowing river, becoming a ghost in the Luo River.

Liu Yao looked at the corpses of these people who had been frozen to death in the river, and gritted his teeth with hatred, but he still held back, and while ordering his men to prepare some hot oil, he ordered his men to gather under the river embankment and began to prepare for battle.

The musketeers had already reloaded their ammunition and were ready to rush out to engage in battle, and the knife players had checked the iron thunderbolts they were carrying.

Wang Shaoyu couldn't help but feel very strange when he saw that the thieves on the other side had dodged the river embankment, and did not release arrows or guns to prevent Minzhuang from erecting a pontoon bridge.

Like today's situation, if the thief army wants to prevent him from crossing the river, then the best way should be to shoot the people who built the bridge with a fire gun or a bow and crossbow when the people are erecting the pontoon bridge, so that the people will definitely not be able to erect the pontoon bridge safely, but the other party's group of thieves obviously did not do this, as if they were afraid of their bombardment, they all hid behind the embankment on the north bank, and watched their side slowly extend the pontoon bridge towards the opposite bank.

After seeing this, Wang Shaoyu was not without doubts, but it was only a blink of an eye, when he led his troops to come, he firmly believed that the number of thieves left in Yongning County was very limited, and the thief army in the city should be auxiliary soldiers or something, and they did not have much combat effectiveness.

Then this is easy to do, since these thieves are not able to fight, then what else is he afraid of? So he immediately called on his subordinates, drew some soldiers from the various tribes, and promised them a lot of rewards in public, including allowing them to plunder after entering the city.

As soon as these soldiers who were drawn out heard that there was such a good thing, they also knew that Yongning County had suffered relatively few military disasters in recent years, and the people in the city still had some savings. So the gang suddenly became excited, put away their slackness, and began to prepare one by one on the south bank.

Seeing the pontoon bridge stretching inch by inch, and finally after dozens of people froze to death, the wooden planks were still on the land on the other side, Wang Shaoyu immediately shouted: "Brothers, rush over, defeat those thieves, and take the city!" The first one to enter the city, the official will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver! Kill! ”

After hearing this, the three or four hundred officers and men who had already gathered at the head of the pontoon bridge immediately cheered, and one by one they rushed onto the rickety pontoon bridge, brandishing their weapons and rushing towards the opposite bank.

At this time, several generals' cannons were even more roaring and intensified, smashing the shells heavily on the embankment on the opposite bank, raising a piece of sand.

After Liu Yaoben stretched out his head to take a look, he turned around and shouted, "Brothers! It's time for us to do it, seal the pontoon, and kill me! Let these bastards know that as long as we have one more person here, they won't want to set foot on the north shore for half a step! Above! ”

The soldiers of the two companies, who had already been waiting under the embankment, jumped up one after another with a roar after hearing Liu Yaoben's order, rushed up to the embankment at high speed, and immediately occupied the embankment under the command of their respective officers.

The officers and men who were rushing onto the pontoon bridge looked up and saw the thieves who had swarmed to the embankment on the opposite bank, and they were slightly taken aback, but they had no way back to go, so they quickened their pace, stepped on the swaying pontoon bridge, and also shouted what the sky shook and rushed towards the opposite bank.

Some officers and soldiers had an unstable foothold on the pontoon bridge, and they were squeezed off the pontoon bridge by their companions at the slightest accident, and fell into the icy river with a pop, and suddenly let out a burst of exclamations, but these people were basically dressed in armor, and once they fell into the water, they had no chance to rescue them, so they were immediately dragged by the armor on their bodies and sinked into the icy river with bubbles.

However, at this time, more officers and soldiers still rushed onto the pontoon bridge and rushed towards the opposite bank like a frenzy, and at this time, they only heard a series of firecrackers like popping beans suddenly sounded on the opposite bank.

The officers and men who rushed on the pontoon bridge immediately let out a terrible scream, only to hear a chaotic sound, one by one the officers and men who were shot were planted in the water of the Luo River, and many people did not even have time to struggle, they immediately sank into the river, but on the surface of the water immediately appeared a piece of red blood, and even some of the ice floes were stained with blood red.

Wang Shaoyu was stunned to see the tragic situation on the pontoon, his mouth suddenly opened wide, and his chin almost fell to the ground, he had only heard that the Xingtian Army was very powerful, but he had not personally experienced how powerful it was, today he thought that the other party was just an auxiliary soldier of a thief army, and his combat effectiveness was definitely not strong, but this was only a moment of kung fu, and he saw the strength of the opponent.

It is not without birds in his army, but they are by no means as powerful as these birds in the hands of the other party, a hundred and ten steps away, they can even knock people over, and they are very accurate, only two rows of birds are fired in a volley, and these officers and soldiers who were caught up on the pontoon bridge by themselves were knocked over into the river like dumplings.

The officers and soldiers on the pontoon bridge were so shocked that they let out an exclamation of surprise, and the officers and men who had not yet been shot suddenly panicked, and some people were immediately frightened and wanted to turn around and flee back to the south bank of the river, and some people were unwilling to retreat like this, squeezing and trying to rush forward, so that the narrow pontoon bridge suddenly became chaotic, and you pushed me and shoved it, and suddenly some people were squeezed under the bridge and fell into the glacier.

"Don't retreat! Rush over and kill them! No refund! Someone's coming! Bring in 500 archers, and if anyone dares to retreat, let me shoot my arrows!" Fast! Block the bridgehead and rush over to the official! Wang Shaoyu saw that the officers and soldiers under his command who rushed onto the bridge wanted to retreat in a swarm, and suddenly became anxious, if the way was blocked by the thief army on the opposite side here, then he might not even be able to touch this Yongning County, once he waited for Zu Kuan to lead his troops to kill here, then he couldn't even get the credit for his fart, so he put his heart horizontally, and his heart was not like this, it was better to fight against the water and fight to pull it down! Suddenly pulled out his waist knife and roared loudly.
