The fourth volume of the sharp blade out of the sheath Shenzhou moves

The arrows continued to rain down, and the people kept falling from the arrows, and the blood soaked into the river, which became redder and thicker.

Men or soldiers who died after being hit by arrows fell down the river and went down the river, this time downstream soldiers set up small boats and kept scooping up corpses or seriously wounded people into the boats.

The soldiers began to fight their way in front of the people, some of them wearing armor, others not wearing armor, but only gray military robes.

At this moment, people in military uniforms should regard themselves as soldiers, not ordinary people and people.

They struggled to wade through the water, and a large number of soldiers quickly got in front of the people, shouting trumpets at first and singing military songs.

In the murky and black-red waters, the military song was loud, the pontoon bridge continued to move forward, bows and arrows rained down, artillery roared, and the gunners kept firing their guns to suppress the Mongol archers on the shore as much as possible.

Beside them were anxious warriors, eager to wait for the moment when they approached the shore.

Huang Zongxi and Wang Fuzhi and others also stood from a distance and watched, they were shaken at first, and then their faces were heavy, when the soldiers sang the military song, Huang Zongxi unconsciously shed tears, and Wang Fuzhi and others were also pale.

Before, their mentality was very relaxed, and no one thought that the war was anything terrible, and they were even intoxicated by the heroic and decisive description of the soldiers and iron horses in the book.

Now that he has experienced the cruelty of the battlefield, he understands why Qin Du is so generous to the casualties of the soldiers. Yes, people have contributed their lives, what is the value of just money?

Zhang Yun is riding on a horse, holding the reins in both hands, many people are watching him, and he needs to maintain the best appearance and demeanor on this battlefield and show the demeanor of a coach.

However, those who were very close to him could see that Zhang Yun was holding the reins tightly with both hands, and his knuckles were pinched white.

In any case, when he saw his subordinates bleeding and dying, so many people fought to the death because of their own command, not afraid of life and death, Zhang Yunjue still had no way to be completely indifferent.

However, he also knows that no matter what, he must persevere, in this kind of crossing the river and fighting, a little slack is to waste the previous efforts, the more difficult the moment, both sides have to withstand the pressure, who can't withstand first, who loses!

Even the most elite 3,000 flintlock pistol troops he had on hand could not come in handy.

Because, even if he did not hesitate to expose this trump card, the terrain here could not exert the power of a flintlock pistol.

Alas, it's really hard for Ci not to be in charge of the soldiers!

Huang Zongxi, Wang Fuzhi and others shouted hoarsely, many people burst into tears of excitement, and many people were worried, at this time they knew that war was not a child's play, and it was countless lives in an instant.

At this moment, even if they are powerless scholars, as long as the pontoon bridge is built and someone gives an order, they will fight forward and fight the enemy!

It is really tragic and inspiring!

Li Xiang was the one who leaned on the battlefield in the command, and Zhang Yun sent messengers to tell him to stay behind many times, but Li Xiang did not obey the order and stopped moving forward.

When the pontoon bridge was more than half completed, Li Xiang had already reached the middle of the pontoon bridge surrounded by several guards.

The gun was not far in front of him, Li Xiang was surrounded by soldiers, and several pontoon bridges were almost completed.

The Mongol Tatars also knew that at the most critical moment, there were still shells flying over their heads, but the shooters by the river were too close to the pontoon bridge, and the artillery had no way to play a real role, and the threat was not great.

And a large number of armored archers were even squeezed into the river less than twenty paces from the pontoon bridge, and just stood in the water and shot arrows at the people and soldiers.

Many armor soldiers also began to shoot back at the musketeers on the pontoon, and the arrows landed on the pontoon bridge with a clanging sound, which was of little use to the soldiers wearing iron helmets and iron armor.

Suddenly, countless bones suddenly flew through the air, which were thrown by the armored soldiers in the back row under the command of Gushan Ezhen Huranhel. A man was struck in the chest by a bone, blood spurted out of his mouth, and both men and fire fell into the river, and dense bubbles bubbled above the crimson water.

There were also those who were hit in helmets, and the whole helmet was knocked out, and the head was dented into a piece, and the person immediately fell to the ground and died.

There were also people who were hit in the arms and thighs, and there was a popping sound on the entire pontoon, and there was also the clicking sound of broken bones, and there were also painful moans of pain.

At this moment, Li Xiang suddenly stood up from the pontoon, he was a tall northerner, his face was as burly as his body, and he had a thick beard under his chin, let out a roar of rage, and was the first to throw the throwing gun in his hand.

The guards around him threw the weapons in their hands at the same time, and the people on the south bank of the river seemed to see countless weapons flying in the air at once, flashing with silver light, with the bright fire when the gun hit the musket, almost a sense of the splendor of fireworks in the New Year.

"Good!" At this time, it was impossible to call Li Xiang back, Zhang Yun watched with bated breath, and the excitement just now finally calmed down.

Judging from the performance of Li Xiang and the soldiers, this army is worthy of being a tiger and wolf army built by his brother according to his ideal state, and at the critical moment, it can withstand the majestic pressure of the sea.

At the critical moment, Yan Yingyuan personally went to command the gunners, and the artillerymen pushed the artillery to the edge of the river and were re-fixing the gun position!

"Hit!" Yan Yingyuan's eyes were red, this famous general in history burst out with a fierce spirit, and as soon as the gun position was fixed, he ordered the cannon to be fired.

The artillery opened fire one after another, this time shortening the distance, and a large number of shells fell directly on the heads of the Mongols on the banks of the river, and each shell fell on the head of the disaster.

Combined with the blows of the gunners and soldiers throwing their weapons, the Mongol Tartars finally showed signs of being unable to withstand it, and the archers began to retreat, and the men in front tried to get closer to avoid the shells.

The shells behind them fell on the turf, taking many lives each time, and those that fell on the open ground would lift the turf more than ten meters high, and the earth and turf were splashed all over the sky.

Li Xiang's figure appeared in Zhang Yun's sight again, and finally reached a distance of ten steps.

Li Xiang held a shield in his left hand, waved a knife in his right hand, and was wearing more than 30 catties of iron armor, but he jumped off the pontoon, and when he jumped, the people around Zhang Yun were all exclaimed.

Zhang Yun's eyes were full of brilliance and said: "The general will dismount immediately, and he will be able to wear stubbornness and sweep away the enemy in front of him."

Rest assured, Li Xiang is a Xuan War soldier who is not collected at night, and he is full of martial arts, and ordinary people are difficult to be his opponents. ”

Li Shouye kept staring at Li Xiang with his eyes, and admiration flashed in his eyes, but he said: "As a general, he takes risks lightly, and when he comes back, I will definitely reprimand him as the Judge Advocate General." ”

Zhang Yun laughed and said: "Ben will definitely approve it, and he will be severely punished and imprisoned for three days." ”

Everyone laughed loudly, talking about Li Xiang's punishment after he returned, just like a lonely traveler walking at night, and laughing loudly was to strengthen his courage.

In the distance, when Li Xiangchu jumped into the river, almost his entire body fell into the water, but he quickly emerged from the water, and a tartar immediately shot an arrow at him.

Far away, everyone seemed to hear a loud "dang", and the light arrow hit Li Xiang's helmet and shot his helmet obliquely, but Li Xiang jumped and exposed most of his body to the water.

A series of arrows came one after another, shooting Li Xiang like a hedgehog, but fortunately, the iron armor was extremely solid, and Qianhu was wearing the strongest mountain armor.

A class is worth at least 100 taels or more, and even if it is inlaid with some precious gemstones, it can be sold for a high price of hundreds of taels to 1,000 taels.

Li Xiang was hit by more than a dozen arrows in an instant, but fortunately, the arrows of the Tartars were accurate, but they were not very particular about using heavy arrows.

If it was a heavy arrow or armor-piercing arrow used by Jiannu, such a close distance would definitely be able to shoot him to death on the spot. After this round of shooting, Li Xiang had already reacted, blocked the shield in his left hand at the vital point, and the whole person continued to wade forward.
