Chapter 1,000 Crossing the Bridge and Landing on the Shore

Mai Tiecane's body shook slightly, for more than a month, because of the water and soil, it is difficult for a southerner to go to such a cold north, General Mai, who hit it with iron, actually got jaundice, and it was difficult to even stand, and today he was also holding the sick body into battle, even if he was already weak and sweating, he did not let the soldiers, and even let Wang Shichong see that something was wrong, but this Yang Guang's holy decree was colder than the biting cold wind in December, and all the gratitude to Yang Guang before, the grace of knowing it, With these two cold sentences, they all disappeared!

Mai Tiezhu gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "The last general will obey the order!" Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

He turned around, and the three main generals of the three armies around him, Fei Qingnu, Qian Shixiong and Meng Cha, all walked over, and Mai Tiezhu looked at the three of them, only to see that the faces of the three were sad, and they were obviously very dissatisfied with Yang Guang's practice of not caring about the life and death of the soldiers, not only not comforting, but forcing people to rush to death.

Mai Tiezhu sighed: "The king's fate is difficult to disobey, three generals, let's prepare, each army picks out two thousand elite strong men, I, General Qian, and General Meng will attack separately, and General Fei will lead the army to respond!" ”

The three of them clasped their fists in unison and saluted: "Follow the general's orders!" ”

Goguryeo, on the high platform, Eulzhi Wende's face was full of smiles, and he smiled at Yuan Taizuo, who was still calm: "General Yuan, there is really you, the position of this catapult is set just right, and the Sui army that can cross the bridge has suffered heavy casualties, haha, as long as there are more than a dozen rounds like this, it will definitely be able to break all three bridges." ”

Yuan Taizuo smiled and waved his hand, turned his head to the herald on the side and said, "Order, 100 trebuchets stop shooting." Fourteen remaining. Sporadic launches are permitted. No rapid-fire! ”

Etozhi Wende's smile froze on his face, and he said strangely: "General Yuan, what are you doing here?" Do you want to let the Sui army cross the bridge? ”

Yuan Taizuo smiled slightly: "Yes, now that the Sui army's troops on the east bank are almost dead, they can't attack at all, and the follow-up troops can't come, how can we expand the results?!" Now we are running out of ammunition and let the Sui army rush over. In the end, after repairing the three bridges, rush over, and if there are five or six thousand more people, we can kill them all! ”

A fierce light flashed in his eyes: "The lance and saber of our cavalry are already unbearable!" ”

Wang Shichong looked at the flying stones of the enemy army like a meteor just now, and became weak, and it took half a day to fly over, taking advantage of this moment, the craftsmen of the Sui army were greatly demoralized, and the pontoon bridge on the left was also reconnected, and the Sui army on the west bank let out bursts of cheers. And three teams led by three generals, six thousand ironclad warriors. The six-way column has also been lined up, guarding in front of the three-way pontoon bridge, the war drums have been beaten twice, and the wheat iron staff, Qian Shixiong and Meng Cha are loudly giving inspiring speeches to the soldiers, just waiting for another war drum, the Sui army, which is like a long snake on the three roads, will once again attack the west bank.

Mai Mengcai said excitedly: "General Wang, you see, the Goguryeo people are running out of ammunition, and they have run out of stones. It's our turn this time. Also, "his hand pointed to more than 100 carts full of stones, which had stopped beside the more than 200 catapults that had been transported to the edge of the Liao River, and more than 1,000 of Zhang Shigui's subordinates were now hurriedly unloading baskets of stones from the carts and putting them behind the arms of the catapults.

Mai Mengcai said with a smile: "General Zhang is worth the trip, General Xue also cooperated with the stones, now our army has enough ammunition, and we will definitely be able to kill those Goguryeo archers." ”

Wang Shichong's face was still very serious, and he shook his head: "I'm afraid that the situation is not so optimistic, Goguryeo was sending stones just now, and it suddenly stopped at this moment, I think it's not because the ammunition is running out, but because it's ......" Speaking of this, he stopped his mouth, and Mai Mengcai said: "General Wang, what will it be?" ”

Wang Shichong sighed secretly in his heart, I am afraid that the Goguryeo people lured the main force of our army to cross the river, and then gather and annihilate it, but now that Yang Guang's death order has been issued, whether it is himself or Mai Tiecane, it is difficult to ride a tiger, and there is no turning back, only a hard rush, and only hope for a miracle, Mai Tiecane can hardly open a bloody road, cover the troops behind to rush over, and before the casualties of his subordinates, they can hold out until Xue Shixiong, Wei Xuan, and the troops behind can step across the pontoon bridge and enter the battle, but even if this probability is extremely unscrupulous.

Wang Shichong was depressed in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face: "It's nothing, it's me thinking for a while, Meng Cai, you should keep your eyes open and see how your father is powerful." ”

Mai Mengcai happily responded, ran to the front, staring motionlessly in the direction of Mai Tiecane, Wang Shichong secretly said in his heart: Poor child, your father is only afraid that the catastrophe is today, take a look at it more.

The third drum began to sound, shaking the eardrums of every soldier on the front line, and the lecture of the wheat iron rod, which was clearly heard just now, was completely inaudible at this time, and even some people's ears began to bleed, and correspondingly, the blood in their chests also boiled with the heavy drum beat.

Mai Tie Cane raised the iron rod in his hand high, the crescent-shaped cane head was lifted to the sky by him again and again, his feet began to step heavily on the ground, all at once, all stepping on the drum, this rhythmic shout, with the Sui soldiers rhythmically struck the shield with swords, with the lance to the ground, converged into a burst of earth-shaking shouts and killings, drumming back and forth in the front of the entire ten-mile-wide west bank, resonating!

Mai Tie Cane roared: "Rush! As soon as he turned around, surrounded and protected by more than a dozen personal guards, he dragged the iron rod upside down, and rushed forward at the fastest speed, with his movements, the two thousand athletes behind him, also took neat steps, holding the shield, carrying the lance, trotting all the way, and once again stepped on the pontoon bridge leading to the unknown, and the three Sui army lines, like three long dragons, rose in the air, with a huge sound, and rolled towards the east bank that was already full of corpses.

Yizhi Wende laughed: "It's coming, it's coming!" This time, General Sui personally led the team and rushed to the front, General Yuan, don't let go of such a good opportunity, you must teach them to have no return! ”

A cold and cruel smile appeared at the corner of Yuan Taizuo's mouth: "This is nature! He turned his head to the herald and ordered: "Pass my order, the catapult will throw small stones instead, first fifty slow hair, and after the Sui army is all on the bridge, twenty rounds of rapid fire, and also, the archers are not allowed to release arrows now, and the long lance soldiers will go to the front row to protect, if the Sui army rushes through the fence, give me a resolute resistance!"
