Chapter 1103: Night Attack

Iron Bull squinted his eyes, calmly let go of his fingers, and the feather arrow shot down from the bridge with a terrible sound of breaking the sky, and the sound of the wave was like a watermelon being knocked out, and a blood red appeared on the surface of the river, and it was instantly washed away by the turbulent river without a trace.

An arrow was fired, and the Iron Bull simply stood up, drew his bow, wound it, and shot at the fluttering heads above the river.

As Chang Yonggang expected, most of these people who floated down from above were martial arts powerhouses in the army, if they were on the shore, people like Tie Niu, they didn't care about it, even if it was a plot, they could make a certain response. But at the moment, when people are in the water, it is difficult to make some counterattack moves. Many people can only hide their heads underwater and swim across, but fortunately, this distance is not far from the bridge pier, as long as they can borrow strength, they are no longer afraid of this guy who shoots cold arrows.

Zhang Yu didn't pay attention to the bridge pier, but sat on the tube tower, staring coldly at the open field in the distance, and he couldn't see anything in the dark, but he believed that in the darkness, there must be an enemy lurking closer.

The first line of positions was already full of people at this time, since it was a sneak attack, it was impossible for them to slowly advance forward with such a heavy wooden shield, for now, they should be cats on their waists, or crouching on the ground and sneaking forward, but what is the use of this?

In the dark night, there was a sudden sound of crisp bells, not one, but dozens of bells sounded at the same time, at the same time, there was an exclamation in the darkness, and there was an instant silence, and then the earth-shattering shout sounded, in the darkness, the shadows and shadows did not know how many people stood up, howling and rushing to the two towers, the lantern on the tower was the most obvious target.

As the roaring sound continued to sound, piles of fires were ignited in the distance, illuminating the battlefield transparently.

The sound of the crossbow collapsing kept ringing, accompanied by bursts of screams, and after a while, the characteristic clattering sound of the crossbow machine on the tower sounded intensively.

In the distance, Zhong Zhen frowned, he didn't expect that after a big victory during the day, the Ming army would still be so vigilant, and what he didn't expect was that after nightfall, the Ming army actually laid some warning things on this open land, those bells must have been quietly laid by them after nightfall, and as soon as the bell rang, it meant that someone was attacking.

Zhong Zhen felt that he should take the Xiushui River Bridge as quickly as possible, because he was also extremely worried that the Ming army would have a large number of reinforcements coming, not to mention anything else, as long as one or two thousand more people were deployed on the other side of the river to continuously support the Xiushui River Bridge, he was afraid that if he wanted to take this place again, it would be quite difficult.

Tonight he is bound to win. All the means that can be used have been used. The attack is divided into three ways, one is the strong attack in front of you, if you can't succeed in this way, then you will have to pay a heavy price and get nothing in the same way as during the day. In the water under the bridge is dozens of martial arts cultivators he selected for quite good hands, the worst is also about the fifth level of cultivation, the leader is a captain, the seventh level is in the army, is already a commander of the main battalion, this team is mainly able to strive for a breakthrough on the bridge deck behind the tube building, as long as they go to the bridge, with their combat power, they will definitely be able to get results, even if it doesn't work, as long as they can attract those crossbow machines on the tube floor that keep ringing, as long as there is no such dense blockade, A frontal assault will have an effect.

What he valued more was the fact that a force of 3,000 men was swimming across the river from a place a few miles away where the water was a little calmer, and a large number of timbers that had been dragged during the day to make wooden shields were now all tied into rafts, and all the wagons of the army were dismantled, and the soldiers ventured across with them with planks.

Even if the first two teams can't succeed, as long as this team lands on the opposite bank, and then flanks back and forth, breaking through the defense of the Xiushui River Bridge, it will not be a problem

The first two teams are the best to succeed under the guise of attracting opponents.

Above the river, dozens of good hands were forced to dive into the water by the arrows of the iron bull's bow and arrows, and in their opinion, since there was the first arrow, then the next must be a covering shot, hidden under the water, with some protection. But what they never expected was that at this moment, on the pier, there was only one person shooting at them. The real blow was not this Ming army with a bow, but another person.

When more than a dozen Qin army experts drilled out of the water to ventilate, they found that they had already drifted across the bridge along the current, and at this moment, the Xiushui River Bridge was already behind them.

Iron Bull shot unhurriedly, they caught a person, that is, several arrows in a row blocked all his lines, and then killed with one arrow steadily, although the efficiency was not high, but it was stable, as for those who had already reached the vicinity of the bridge pier, he didn't bother to care, because by his side, there was also a killing god.

Chang Yonggang carried the meteor hammer and stood in the shadows, staring at the first person who approached the bridge pier. The man's martial arts cultivation is very good, as soon as he approached the bridge pier, his hand reached out, and he had firmly buckled the bridge pier, and the next moment, he was already bursting up from the water, holding a knife in one hand, with a roaring current, and rising to the sky.

This person is none other than the seventh-level martial arts master who took the lead.

The Meteor Hammer flew out of the darkness without a sound.

At the last moment, this Qin military captain finally sensed the danger, and barely crossed his chest, his eyes looked at the shadow, but his eyes were full of despair.

With a thud, the meteor hammered on the saber, which was immediately cut in two, and inserted into the lieutenant's body in reverse, followed by the hammer head slamming heavily on his chest and abdomen, smashing the man far away, and falling into the water with a thud, causing a splash in the sky.

One after another, the Qin soldiers climbed up along the bridge piers, or leaped upward, but what was waiting for them was the meteor hammer that came out one after another, a dignified ninth-level master, hiding in the darkness at the moment, like the Shura of the underworld, happily harvesting one life after another.

Even if it is a head-to-head confrontation, these people are not the knowledge of Chang Yonggang, let alone in a situation like this. In a moment, none of the Qin troops near this bridge pier survived.

From a bridge pier in the distance, several Qin soldiers finally climbed up, and Tie Niu shot a few, but he was not Chang Yonggang, looking at those Qin soldiers who were shouting and rushing towards him, he turned around, turned his head and ran.

Several Qin soldiers rushed along the bridge deck to the Ming army position at the head of the bridge, and then there was one more person in front of them, and the next moment, their bodies flew up like paper harriers, flying towards the raging Xiushui River.

There was silence above the bridge deck.

Chang Yonggang carried the meteor hammer and walked to the Ming army position in front, "Tie Niu, there are still many people who have drifted downstream just now, you stay here, if they swim back, greet them with arrows, if they can't stop it, call me."

The Iron Bull answered, ran to the railing on the other side, leaned over to look at the roaring river, and muttered, "It's impossible to swim back to such a big water, right?"

Then he took his bow and followed behind Chang Yonggang, and also ran to the front position.

In a river bay almost ten miles away from the Xiushui River, some rafts slowly leaned towards the shore, with a clang, the front end of the raft hit the river bank, the Qin army on the raft let out a suppressed cheer, the old sentry commander held a spear in one hand and a knife in the other, jumped off the raft, and finally stepped on the ground with both feet.

Three thousand people went down from the river, relying on such rudimentary tools, and facing such a turbulent river, the old sentry chief did not know how many people could climb ashore, but fortunately, this bay is a rare backwater bay in this section of water, as long as the soldiers crossing the river can get close to the return, there is a great possibility of safe landing.

The soldiers who went ashore sat silently on the river bank to recover their strength, while the old sentry commander stood nervously by the river, counting the rafts that came to the shore one by one, or the soldiers who floated over with logs. Every time a raft came, every time he saw a soldier crawling up the river bank drenched, his heart rejoiced.

This night crossing of the river is no less than a big battle, during the day they are fighting with the Ming army, but at this time, they are fighting with the Xiushui River.

"God forbid." He prayed in his heart.

Time went on little by little, there were more and more soldiers sitting on the shore, and there were fewer and fewer rafts on the bank, and the old sentry chief stood by the river, and waited for about a pillar of incense, only two soldiers crawled out of the river exhausted, and just walked to the shore, and collapsed there with weak feet.

"Two thousand five hundred and forty-two." The old sentry thought silently in his heart, his nose twitched, a little sour, once he crossed at night, there were four hundred and fifty-eight brothers who could no longer be seen, the old sentry knew very well that in such a turbulent river, he could not climb ashore, and the final fate could only be food for fish and shrimp.

He dragged his heavy steps to the soldiers who were sitting and resting, and whispered: "Hurry up, recuperate, at dawn, it will be the time for us to attack."

What the old sentry chief didn't know was that in a forest not far from this river bay, several pairs of eyes had witnessed their crossing from front to back, and after seeing all the Qin troops ashore, these people quietly withdrew from this forest, and then ran away into the distance.

This section of the area along the river is just such a backwater bay, if the Qin army wants to forcibly cross the river, then this is the only area that the Qin people can choose. The Ming army has already set up several sentry posts here, paying attention to everything that is happening here.

They, from the most elite emperor's army in the Ming Dynasty, the Agni Death Battalion.7410
