The Xiushui River Bridge appeared in Zhong Zhen's field of vision, he slowly reined in his horse, in front of him, two thousand cavalry stood on horseback, behind him and to the left and right, more and more foot soldiers caught up and began to line up.

On the Xiushui River, the sun and moon flag of the Ming Dynasty fluttered high, making him frown slightly, this is the land of Daqin, how can he tolerate the enemy's banner to show off his might, and after he will capture the flag later, he must trample on his feet fiercely, and spit two mouthfuls of spit to make his heart comfortable.

In fact, he has been very happy since he left the Luoying Mountains.

He fought in the Luoying Mountains for nearly 20 years, formed an indissoluble bond with that land, and rose all the way to the rank of commander of the army, but the changes in the Luoying Mountains a few years ago left a huge shadow in his heart, and he could not forget the scene when his top boss Yang Zhi led hundreds of generals who launched a military coup d'état, and rushed to the army of Chu in a tragic and desperate manner.

Hundreds of people did not survive, and they did not even rush to the front of each other's formation, and fell in the rain of arrows. They were sent to death, and under the persecution of Bian Wushuang, they voluntarily sent them to death in order not to be guillotined on charges of treason and thus harm their family members.

In that thrilling coup d'état, he was lucky to stand on the right team, and he was promoted to become wealthy, but his heart has been suffering all the time.

He didn't have Bian Wushuang's trust, and he was promoted, but Bian Wushuang wanted to use him to appease those soldiers in the Luoying Mountains, in other words, he was just an archway, a memorial arch that flaunted Bian Wushuang's benevolence and righteousness.

As Bian Wushuang took root in the Luoying Mountains, he became more and more marginalized as he gained more and more control over the army. And he is also becoming more and more unhappy with Bian Wushuang.

They were supposed to be the blades of Great Qin against the Western Army of Chu, but since Bian Wushuang took office, the relationship with the Chu army has been getting better and better.

And this is all because Bian Wushuang almost completely gave up the management of the Luoying Mountains. Even if it was in Chu Guoan Ruhai who led his troops away, and then the deputy general Suqian rushed to the Eastern Front with 20,000 Western Army, such a good time, Bian Wushuang did not launch even a campaign, if he could take advantage of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to recapture Jingjing Pass, then Nanyang of Chu State would be the granary of Great Qin.

But it's clear that Bian's focus is not there.

This made Zhong Zhen very angry, and Bian Wushuang looked at the country.

This time, Daqin had reached the critical point of life and death, Bian Wu held an army of 100,000 with both hands, but he did not have the intention of saving the country and continuing to die, even if he sent 50,000 soldiers.

These 50,000 people are not Bian Wushuang's descendants, many of them are either some generals who survived in the Luoying Mountains that year, or the generals of the Thunder Army who were transferred to the border army that year, and they have been excluded and criticized in the border army like themselves.

These 50,000 people are very sad in the Luoying Mountains, the uneven military pay is the norm, the lack of military food is a daily routine, and they are often hungry and full. The weapons and armor used are all old goods eliminated by Bian's descendants. In the past two years, Zhong Zhen's daily routine is to find food for the troops.

He had a very hard time.

But the hard days finally came to an end, and Bian Wushuang took this opportunity to send them out. The 50,000 border army, with Jin Shoude, the general on the right side of the original border army, as the main general and himself as the deputy general, responded to the mobilization order of the Yongdu Emperor.

After arriving in Yongdu, they finally put on new armor, got new weapons, and got enough money, so that they finally didn't have to worry about three meals a day.

The 50,000 troops were all assigned to the front army with Yuan Yiqiu as the general. Jin Shoude was the deputy general, and he became the commander of the 10,000 troops of the former army.

The soldiers brought with them were much smaller than before, but Zhong Zhen's heart was very happy, the country was in trouble, and the husband was responsible, and now, they wanted to use their own blood to defend the dignity of the country.

The 50,000 border troops, compared with the Qinwang army of some other counties summoned by His Majesty the Emperor, are naturally incomparable in combat effectiveness, even if they have not had enough food and clothing in recent years, but their morale is still there. The Great Qin Border Army is really a very easy group to satisfy. He looked around, and the fighting spirits of the border troops who had changed their old appearance were high, which is why their 50,000 men could immediately take up the important task of the vanguard front army as soon as they returned. The troops who have seen blood and the troops that have fought hard battles are naturally not ordinary.

In fact, in Zhong Zhen's heart, even those Thunder Army may not be better able to fight than his own border army, especially the ability to fight in adversity.

"Report!" A scout came on horseback. Before getting close, he turned over and dismounted, and knelt down on one knee in front of Zhong Zhen, "Report to the general, the deployment of the enemy army has been detected, and the Xiushui River Bridge is garrisoned by 500 people from a post in the Baoqing battalion of the Ming army." ”

"Five hundred?" Zhong Zhen was stunned at first, and then laughed dumbly, during this period of time, the scouts on both sides went back and forth to kill, and the base camp of the former army has not figured out how many men and horses are stationed on the Xiushui River Bridge, so this is why he led 10,000 heavy troops to attack. After all, if the bridge is captured, then the army will have a shortcut through the Xiushui River, originally thought that such an important place, the Ming army must have a heavy garrison, but now, there are only five hundred people.

This bit of people and horses is not enough to stuff themselves into the seams, and with a light blow, they are all powder. He shook his head disapprehantly, which showed that the army was brave and invincible, but I was afraid that it was an exaggeration. The generals of the other side don't seem to know the soldiers, and they don't pay attention to Xiushui Bridge at all.

"Command the cavalry, rush up and drown them for me." Jong Jin ordered. I thought that there would be no more bitter fighting, but it was just a victory with a handle in hand, and today, you can cross the river and set up camp.

On the bridge of the Xiushui River, Changyonggang changed slightly, the cavalry is not the same as the dense infantry team, as the saying goes, the cavalry is tens of thousands, covering the sky and the sun, and the cavalry charge that is more open from the distance, even if there are only a thousand horsemen, also covers the range of his vision. Thousands of horses stepped on the ground, and the rumbling sound was like thunder, shaking the Xiushui River Bridge as if it was trembling slightly.

Zhang Yu's face was as usual, without the slightest change, "Mr. Chang, don't look at them aggressively, but the more they get in front of us, their formation will rise and converge inward, because the space for us to expand outside is so large, once their formation is dense, hehe, then there will be a good show." ”

In the sound of horses' hooves, Zhang Yu almost roared and shouted: "Mr. Chang, the other party didn't take us seriously, just right, we took the opportunity to bite them down a piece of meat, haha, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, I like it the most." ”

Looking at Zhang Yu's relaxed expression, Chang Yonggang couldn't help but relax, and at the same time he was a little ashamed in his heart, although his martial arts cultivation was high, he had really never seen such a big scene, and the little lieutenant in front of him was much calmer than himself.

Qin Riding in the running, from time to time someone stumbled on the front hooves, and an upside-down onion was planted off the horse, in such a charge, what happened to the horse was naturally self-evident.

Seeing that the other party fell without warning, Chang Yonggang couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Sir, a little trick, in front of those open ground, we dug a little pit, a little camouflage on it, if the infantry came up to attack, the fart would not work, but if it was cavalry, hey, a hoof down to step on the air, then it would be a good show. Originally, I just did it easily, and I didn't do much, I didn't want to be able to make some gains, comfortable! Zhang Yu laughed happily: "What if the enemy is twenty times that of me, Mr. Chang, but look at me, five hundred men and horses, under the watchful eye of the enemy, to be an iron pea that cannot be chewed and boiled." ”

Zhang Yu was high-spirited, and Chang Yonggang couldn't help but arouse his competitive spirit, clapped his palms, and laughed: "Okay, then I will be a small soldier under Captain Zhang, and I will be on call." ”

Zhang Yu said loudly: "Don't dare to bother Mr. for trivial matters, but if the enemy has a master, it will all depend on Mr. Strong crossbow. ”

With Zhang Yu's roar, several strong crossbows immediately raised their hideous heads from behind the wall.

"Shoot!"

The two-meter-long all-metal crossbow bolt slashed through the air with a whining roar, crossed several barriers in front of it, and plunged headlong into the cavalry charge that was gradually closing in formation.

One soldier immediately picked up another crossbow arrow from the ground and put it in the arrow slot, and the other two soldiers, one left and one right, cooperated to turn the crank, and looked at the appearance of the two with cheeks, and knew that the crank was really heavy. Chang Yonggang only glanced at it, and he understood that if it wasn't for that, how could the strong crossbow shoot out be so powerful? Just now he saw that several strong crossbows opened two blood alleys in the dense charging lineup, and the front of the crossbow arrows, regardless of the people and horses, were all pierced, and a soldier even had his upper body directly cut in half by the powerful impact, that situation was not an ordinary horror.

Daming's strong crossbow changed the weakness of the slow firing speed of the strong crossbow in various countries, and when the first crossbow arrow was shot out and did not completely fall to the ground, the strong crossbow that had just hung down raised its head again, turned the fuselage, and launched it again with a crashing sound. You may not know how many times he can kill this thing at one time, but the terrifying perception he caused has a great blow to people's hearts. Nothing could stop him from striking a blow.

Zhong Zhen, who was watching the battle from a distance, frowned very tightly at this time, he didn't care about the opponent's crossbow arrows killing a few of his soldiers at once, but was surprised by the opponent's rate of fire. When did the crossbow fire so fast? However, no matter how powerful the crossbow was, it was still not enough to see in the face of the surging cavalry, and when the cavalry rushed closer, everything was over.

His feeling finally changed completely when the eight crossbow machines on the two towers above the bridgehead were launched.
