On the other side of the Bianhe River, Yang Keshi and Xin Xingzong, who led troops to help, and Yang Wei in the middle, joined together to attack Qiaotou City, which had been consolidated from three sides, again.

On the narrow ground of Qiaotou City, there were so many people and horses gathered for a while, and everyone couldn't use their hands and feet, so the two sides of the melee continued to spread out to the two wings.

At this time, all of Yang Keshi's personal troops were fully prepared, and together with the river defense troops that had been withdrawn and reinvigorated, they also returned to join the battle. This part of the men, because of the lack of unified orders and commands, was forced to withdraw from the position under the pressure of the enemy.

Now that they have received the help of the new army, there are 500 soldiers who are like dragons and tigers as their backbones, and they suddenly have doubled their courage, and under the redeployment and leadership of Liu Zhengyan, they fought hard to fight back.

And those Liang troops in Qiaotou City have their backs to the Bian River, and it is impossible to retreat, they can only escape from death by fighting to the death. Therefore, it is also a situation of high fighting spirit and sinking the boat.

For a time, the drums of war between the two sides were shaken. Shouts of killing rang out, and a fierce decisive battle was launched.

Among them, the most eye-catching is undoubtedly Yang Keshi's personal soldiers, who not only fought with the enemy with their hands and blades, but also used the sprinting force of the rushing horses to attack the enemy troops who were scattered in groups, and squeezed them into the river with weapons at once.

This is obviously a simple, effective, and locally adapted way of fighting.

They rushed up from a distant place with a target in mind, and some of the caught off guard of the southern army were washed into the river by them, and some of their own soldiers could not restrain their mounts because of the excessive castration, and they fell into the river with the southern army that was being charged by him.

Some of the southern troops were prepared, and moved lightly and skillfully, dodging the sprint of their own soldiers, but turned behind him, and took advantage of the fact that he could not keep the horse's hooves when he was rushing, and squeezed him into the river with a slight squeeze.

For a moment, the river was like a dumpling soup, just a struggling human body and a horse.

Although the drama battle was still going on, under the onslaught of the Mabu Brigade led by the pro-army, it was obvious that the shape was reversed, and the northern army completely controlled Qiaotou City, driving away the southern army that had originally occupied it from the north, west, and south directions.

Seeing that the bridgehead had been taken and that their passage had been cut off and that they could not land, the Confederates on the pontoon bridge rushed back, crowded, next to each other, and in confusion to the north bank.

Only sporadic boats and rafts continue to carry men and horses across the river, but the landing sites on this section of the river are all controlled by the northern army, and it is difficult to go up.

At this time, Gao Shixuan, who was temporarily in the rear of the formation, led some of the crossbowmen who were just in time, facing the target on the river bank, waved the small flag in his hand, and thousands of crossbows were fired in unison, and there were batches of enemy men and horses everywhere in the rain of arrows, and they rolled down the river full of thorns.

The boats that had been forced to cross suddenly lost their grip and sprang around in the middle of the river, and the rafts swayed sharply to the right and left, and swung the arrows into the river along with the men and horses who had not been hit.

There were also a few southern troops who struggled to keep their composure, stand firm, block the arrows with shields, try their best to maintain the balance of the raft, and tried to rush ashore to rescue their besieged comrades on the south bank, but they couldn't stop Gao Shixuan's group of archers from aiming and shooting at them repeatedly, and the last one was wiped out on the raft and in the center of the river.

The routes of reinforcements of the southern army were cut off one by one, but the follow-up troops of the northern army drove up from the rear in an endless stream, and the southern troops gathered on the east bank could not cross the river, and their arrows could not reach the west bank.

At this time, the remnants of the Liang army on the south bank of Zài, although they fought bravely like trapped beasts in a trap, were already at an absolute disadvantage in numbers. They were cut into sections, pieces by the superior Northern Army. There is no way to gather the remaining strength.

They were in a group of several people, back to back, fighting with the Song army several times or even more than ten times the number of people around them, even though their armor was already splashed with their own blood and that of the enemy.

Some of them had suffered seven or eight wounds or more than ten places, and they couldn't spare their hands to bandage the blood gushing out of the wounds, and some of their blades were already mutilated.

In the face of such imminent death, they still fought hard to protect themselves, cover their comrades, and defend this corner of the foothold.

Sometimes they hacked the charging Northern army to the ground with one sword, and picked the enemy horse off their horses with one shot, and they cheered, indicating that he had recovered his capital and died without regrets.

Sometimes they bravely broke out and galloped along the riverbank, but were stopped by the enemy forces in front of them. When he saw that he was attacked in front and behind, and he could not get out, he quickly took off his armor and jumped into the river, trying to swim back.

The Northern Army, which had caught up, stood on the bank of the river like this, with a flurry of arrows. A series of blood bubbles surfaced, ending his heroic life. And the only thing that responded to them was the Divine Machine Army on the other side, the sparse firearms that were fired, and the splattered scattered flames and flying flames.

By noon on the second day, the southern army around Qiaotou City had been completely annihilated and wiped out, and another round of offensive by the Southern Dynasty was declared a setback.

At this time, Yang Keshi himself also drank a bag of water and ate some dry food. The soldiers led his war horse to drink water by the river, and he himself watched from the sidelines, not allowing him to drink too much.

Many generals gathered around him, listening to and asking for his orders, and rethinking the situation of the battle.

This part of the men and horses commanded by Yang Keshi has indeed undoubtedly won the victory in the local battle on the west bank of the Bianhe River, but this partial victory did not bring him, like the kind of jubilation that he often has after defeating the enemy on the battlefield outside the Saiwai.

Because he, like all veteran generals, unmistakably judged that the war was far from over, and that the southern army on the other side was not only very tenacious, but also very tenacious, and was taking the opportunity to make the next counterattack again and again.

From a strategic point of view, this victory of Yang Keshi's troops was only one of the many crossings of the Southern Army and annihilated a part of the living forces of the Southern Army, but it was obvious that they still had enough men and horses on the other side.

Therefore, the results of this war are limited after all, and it is unlikely to have a decisive impact on the ongoing all-out war. Yang Keshi has the heavy responsibility of commanding the soldiers and horses in Bianqian, and he also has the ambition and determination of a martial artist to pursue his achievements, of course, he can't be satisfied with this.

In the following days, in the process of constantly thwarting and repelling the forced crossing of the Southern army, he also constantly received urgent warnings from friendly and neighboring armies.

Looking westward from here, on both sides of the upper and lower reaches of the Bian River, in the depths as far as his eye could see, there were fierce battles going on, and it was said that some enemy troops had been wedged into the rear at a considerable distance.

However, the inability of your own forces to effectively counterattack with pincer attacks suggests that friendly forces are in a passive situation in the fighting in those areas.

In this regard, Yang Keshi constantly sent orders to transfer the follow-up troops that could be mobilized, as well as the reinforcements that had already arrived at the Bianhe front, to reinforce the friendly forces.

He found that the Confederate army on the other side was doing the same thing, and many neat infantry troops were rushing to their west to help. But they had secured many crossings and could cross the river unhindered to fight, while their own army was forced to fight in their own positions.

He also found that part of the southern army that was galloping west and the friendly troops who were going west to reinforce were separated by only a river, and along the path on both banks, there seemed to be a race walking competition.

Sometimes, when they walked to a relatively narrow area of the river, these parallel soldiers would threaten each other with a rain of arrows, trying to disrupt its ranks.

Of course, this kind of blind firing of arrows that fall into the river without shooting at the other side can only be ridiculed and ridiculed by the other side.

However, most of the southern troops who had set up camp on the other side of the Bianhe River remained in their original positions, beating war drums and blowing military trumpets without hesitation, preparing for battle.

In its rear, new mobile units appeared in a steady stream, which seemed to be sending reinforcements to the front.

As a veteran general on the battlefield, Yang Keshi, with many years of combat experience, judged that this was a suspicious soldier at a glance. These troops, these horses, are always moving around the rear with flags that are constantly changing colors and numbers.

But even if it is a bluffing suspicious soldier, it still cannot conclude that the enemy's forces are exhausted. The fact that there were still so many troops gathered on the north bank was evident to the naked eye, and they moved with light and agility, not discouraged by the repeated failures of the river crossings.

They were not weakening, but they were still preparing for the second and third large-scale river crossings, at least they made no secret of making a gesture of crossing the river again, which was used to contain the main force under Yang Keshi's command.

Whether it is crossing the river seriously, or just making a gesture of crossing, both of these are also enough to make Yang Keshi's side, and it will be nerve-wracking for the time being.

Because Yang Keshi is indeed in a very passive position now, there is no other way than to ask Luo Du for more reinforcements.

Although he won a partial battle, there was a fierce battle on the western battlefield, and if he wanted to go west for reinforcements regardless of qiē, the enemy army would really cross the river and reoccupy this riverbank.

He managed to fight for the riverside position in a bloody battle, and he could also directly smash the command center where he was located, so that the entire Bian Qian's military horse fell into a wolf situation where the command was out of order.

But if he wanted to stay here, the enemy would achieve his goal of pinning him down - because of the importance of Bianzhou's position, in addition to the backup he brought and the friendly troops he brought back to Hui, the imperial court also mixed most of the river patrol army with a part of the Cao battalion and placed it under his command.

The southern army pinning him down is equivalent to achieving the strategic goal of containing a large number of northern troops, and expanding the possibility of expanding the results of the battle in other battlefields and developing in depth.

He didn't get any definite news from the Lodu, but he obviously didn't overestimate the combat capabilities of some friendly forces, some of them were old divisions, and some of them were newly expanded troops

Whether it is Ruzhou, Xuzhou, or even Zhengzhou and other aspects of the unification, there is a risk of erosion in the overall situation......

In the city of Bianzhou, the remnants of the Henan Attack Army, led by the center of the New Army, were rotated with scars and went to the rear to rest and reorganize.

Many people were carrying a sense of happiness and sigh similar to the aftermath of the catastrophe, supporting each other to stagger, and slowly walked out of the city gate under the various eyes and gazes of friendly soldiers.

Because, they had just survived the most difficult time, and even thought that they were about to be completely overwhelmed by the surging frenzy of the Northern Army in all directions.

In the end, when the reinforcements came, there were only eight or nine thousand people left, but they finally gave the dynasty to defend Bianzhou City, the pivotal point of the Central Plains, and the entry point of the front capital.

For the results of the slow advance of the Shuai Si on the front, a large number of living forces were twitched and they came to the rescue with all their might, which can be regarded as an explanation.
