…… East Bank of Rushui......

"General, Jing Manzi is assembling on the opposite bank of Shangcai City and mobilizing ships, I'm afraid he is preparing to force a crossing in the Shangcai City River section!" A scout rode his horse and galloped up.

Before he had time to deploy his troops, he was already a scout galloping on his horse. "General, Jing Manzi is assembling on the other side of Yangliu Village and mobilizing ships, I'm afraid he is preparing to launch a forced crossing in the Yangliu Village River section!"

Yu Yong's brow immediately furrowed.

At this time, another scout galloped forward, and before the horse arrived, the voice had already sounded: "General, the big thing is not good!" Jing Manzi launched a test in Baihedu, surnamed Qiangdu, if the general does not send troops again, Baihedu may not be able to hold it! ”

"It seems that this Cai Di, Jing Manzi is ready to die! But my tongue is not a soft persimmon, let you pinch it! Tongue Yong snorted coldly.

After thinking for a while, Yu Yong instructed the generals around him: "Where is Xia Hu's roar!" ”

"The last general!" Xia Hu roared and rode out of the ranks, arching his hand to the tongue on the horse's back.

"You led 200 soldiers in military vehicles and 15,000 soldiers to Baihedu to support! Be fast! You can lead 200 military chariots to Baihedu first! Yu Yong handed Xia Hu a roar token and ordered.

"No!" Xia Huyan took the token, answered, and immediately turned the horse's head and galloped away.

"Doctor Zihan! Dr. Ji Yihou! Yu Yong's face slowed down a little and said.

"I'll wait!" The chief general sent by the Song State, the ruling Zihan, and the chief general sent by the Lu State, Ji Yihou, came out to answer the road.

"Trouble the two of you to lead your own soldiers and horses to Shangcai City to block Jing Manzi from crossing the river! I don't know and I'm not sure? Although the tongue said in a consultative tone.

But Zihan and Ji Yihou knew that if they couldn't finish this, even if they didn't say anything, I was afraid that Yang Zilu would settle accounts for them after the autumn. The two of them glanced at each other and said categorically: "I will definitely complete this task!" ”

"Good!" Tongue Yong praised.

The two sat in military chariots, each with their own soldiers and horses, and headed towards Caicheng.

And Yu Yong led the rest of the soldiers and horses to Yangliu Village. When Yu Yong came to the outside of Yangliu Village, the Chu army at this time had already begun to board the ship. Yu Yong immediately led his soldiers and horses to set up a formation in the open space outside Yangliu Village. Outside Yangliu Village, Yu Yong had already sent people here to build several arrow towers to block the Chu army, and arranged a certain number of soldiers and horses. Therefore, Yu Yong does not command on horseback, but climbs the arrow tower to command.

When all this was ready, the Chu army also began to force the crossing. Dilapidated boats, freshly set rafts, are coming all over the world.

"Order the crossbowmen to get closer and shoot!" Yu Yong commanded calmly.

The herald beside Yu Yong immediately waved the order flag to convey Yu Yong's order.

As the troop carriers got closer, the atmosphere on both sides became more and more tense.

I don't know who made the first sound, "Shoot!" ”

Immediately after all the officers shouted, the Han soldiers immediately pulled the trigger. This time to conquer the Chu State, the Han army was equipped to the point of teeth, 10,000 Han troops were equipped with Jiaozhang crossbows, and 10,000 Jiaozhang crossbows released black crossbow arrows in unison.

"Whoosh! Sou! ...... "There seems to be only the sound of crossbow bolts cutting through the air.

"Shield!"

"! It's the cross bow of the Han barbarian! ”

"Be careful! Get out of the water! ”

"Plop!" This is the sound of a soldier jumping into the water and diving underneath the raft.

On the Rushui River, which was originally silent, it immediately became a mess, and it can be described as chickens flying and dogs walking.

Although it was chaotic, Yu Yong's brows did not loosen, and he could clearly see from a high place that the Chu army actually did not suffer many casualties this time, probably two or three hundred casualties. It must be known that this is a thousand crossbows fired at once, which is mainly due to the fact that the Chu army has been prepared, and the shields have been prepared a lot. Jump into the water without a shield and hide under troop carriers or rafts. Although the crossbow is powerful, it is not to the point where it can penetrate the troop carrier at such a distance.

"Is this the elite of the Chu State?" Yu Yong looked at Chu Jun and muttered.

At this time, on the other side, the commander of the Chu Army's Northern Route Army, Needle Yin Gu, couldn't help frowning, and said something similar to his tongue. "Is this an ordinary soldier of the Han army?"

The general who had followed Ye Gong to attack Shenyi nodded, and said with a solemn face: "It should be, the main force of the Han army is in Huaishui." This army was still composed of several vassal states of Song and Lu. ”

"In this way, the elite of the Han army is probably more powerful than the Wu army in the original Lu!" Needle Yingu's face became more and more solemn.

The general of the Chu army couldn't help but glance at Yin Gu in surprise when he heard this, you must know that Yin Gu had fought against the Wu army in the Lu era, and he didn't expect that Yin Gu would give such a high evaluation to the Han army.

Needle Yin Gu glanced at the general, revealing Bai Sensen's tooth city and said, "But...... My Chu army is not the same Chu army as it was back then! ”

When the war general heard this, his face turned resolute, and he nodded vigorously and said, "There is no mistake!" The catastrophe of that year will not be allowed to happen under any circumstances! Even if you pay for your surname, you have to stop the advance of the Han army! ”

"Wrong!" Needle Yin Gu squinted his eyes and said coldly: "We don't want to stop the advance of the Han army, but we want them all to be buried in the territory of Chu State!" ”

When the general heard this, his blood boiled, and he knelt down on one knee towards Yin Gu, clasped his fists with both hands and said: "The last general asks the commander to allow the last general to go down and lead the troops to force the crossing!" ”

"Go down! Let the Han barbarians know that all the people in my Great Chu Country are warriors! Needle Yin Gu patted the general's shoulder and said firmly.

"No!" The warlord roared, his voice indescribably firm, like a piece of steel that had been tempered for thousands of years.

During the period when Yin Gu spoke, the Han army began to divide into three batches and shoot in turns, although the strength was weakened a lot, but the power against the Chu army was also much greater. In particular, those soldiers who hid under rafts and boats, after switching to shooting in turns, the Han army kept shooting every ten seconds. And these soldiers have to breathe, they can't always stay underwater, so if they get the time wrong, they will probably be greeted with death.

And after rounds of baptism of crossbow arrows, some soldiers finally could not hold the shield in their hands, and as soon as their hands trembled, they were immediately shot by arrows during this time. For a while, the number of casualties of the Chu army immediately rose sharply, but the Chu army still fearlessly launched a charge, and the oars set off waves and waves in the Ru water. Straight towards the east bank.

When the troop carrier had not yet docked, some Chu soldiers could not wait to jump into waist-high water, holding their shields high, roaring the slang of the Chu State, and charging towards the Han army.

"They are all warriors!" Tongue Yong looked at Chu Jun and praised, and then Tongue Yong roared with a hideous face: "It's a pity that they were born in the wrong era!" The warriors of this era belong to the Great Han! Order the two wings of the military vehicle to cover and kill! Infantry advance in the middle! ”

"Kill!" The chariot riders on both wings roared loudly, waved their long whips, and the horses raised their hooves and led the chariots to attack from the two wings with a muffled thunderous sound.

The soldiers of the Chu army who had just stepped on land were worthy of being the elite of the Chu army, and without the command of the officer, the soldiers had already consciously begun to set up the formation. However, because they had just landed, the soldiers were only able to unite the nearby soldiers and form small formations. Spears, Changge, and beryllium were placed on the periphery, and the archers were included. Sword and shield guards the inner wings.

Scattered arrows were the first to be shot from the various small formations of the Chu army.

The military vehicles did not dare to show weakness, although these military vehicles belonged to the country of Yi, but their equipment was also good, after all, the country of Yi still attached great importance to the military vehicles. Therefore, the shooters on the troop vehicles were all one in a hundred, and although their counterattacks were extremely sharp, one after another Chu soldiers on the periphery fell to the shore.

And when the river came up, it immediately returned to thy waters with their blood, and dyed thy waters a pale red.

But the Chu army turned a blind eye to this, as if it was not life that died, and a soldier died, a sword and shield soldier or archer behind him, and immediately put down the weapon in his hand. Picking up the weapon of the soldier who had fallen to the ground, he stood fearlessly in his place.

"Kill!" The military vehicle did not show mercy because of the other party's fearlessness, and the war horse pulled the military vehicle and crashed into the small formation. One by one, the small formations were torn apart, but the soldiers of the Chu army who were knocked away, only not dead, were still alive, they all roared and struggled, and killed the military cart.

The short sword, which was not too sharp, pierced the skin of the war horse, and the blood shot out like a gushing spring. The spear stabbed at the chariot and struck the opponent.

The Han army that followed closely behind also rushed forward, all wearing leather armor and iron weapons reflecting a dazzling light in the sunlight.

"Gale! Gale~! They shouted slogans and fearlessly fought with the Chu army on the edge of Rushui.

A Chu soldier let out a low roar, used the spear in his hand to slash the long knife of the opposite Han army, and stabbed the opponent's chest with a spear. But Na knew that the Han army roared and clenched his spear tightly. Seeing this, the battle robes beside him immediately roared angrily with a whimper, and the long knife in his hand swung out. Although the soldiers of the Chu army wanted to pull out their spears and delay, the spears did not move, and they could only watch the long knives flash in front of their eyes. The sharp long knife slit the throat of the Chu soldiers, and the hot blood was ruthlessly thrown.

"Lord...... Lord, I said that I would take care of my wife and children, and I could die a happy death! The Han soldiers clung to the spear, which had lost its owner, and fell to the ground, muttering with hopeful eyes.

"Gale! Gale! It seemed that the soldier's fierceness was fierce, and the nearby Han soldiers immediately launched a counterattack without fear of death.

The Chu army also roared and fought with the Han army, but the strength of the helpless crossing Rushui was only about 3,000 people. The forces were at an extreme disadvantage, and when both sides were not afraid of death, the strength and equipment became the most important factors in determining victory or defeat. To the regret of the Chu army, they are at a disadvantage in both of these things.

Even so, the final battle of the Chu army was still very tenacious, and only more than 100 people retreated by boat. Most of the others were killed in battle, and only a few were taken prisoner.
