More than a dozen Goguryeo soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, the thin leather armor on their bodies could not prevent the attack of the flying knives on the distance of more than ten steps, and Captain Li was hit by seven swords in the head, and the knife in the center of his eyebrows was directly handled, and he didn't even have time to snort, he fell on his back to the sky, and blood began to gush out of those knife mouths like a fountain, and soon dyed the bank of this cobblestone land a bloody red.

The remaining thirty or so Goguryeo sergeants reacted at once, and one sergeant shouted: "There are enemy troops, there are enemy troops!" ”

There was a splash in the water, and more than 100 strong men wearing only shorts and the lower half of the water, with naked upper bodies and cold air up and down, barefoot, came out from under the water one after another, and dozens of people in the lead rushed to the edge of the boat, lifted the cowhide, didn't care about putting on armor, directly picked up shields and bows and arrows, and fired bows and arrows at the dozens of Goguryeo soldiers opposite.

The Goguryeo soldiers also quickly formed a battle queue, the shield bearers in the front row held a shield in one hand, a spear or a three-strand fork in the other, and the archers in the rear also began to shoot back with arrows, six or seven water ghosts of the Sui army fell in response, but after all, the Sui army had the upper hand in numbers, and there was a steady stream of people rushing out under the water, running to those small boats, picking up weapons, putting on armor, and lining up to defend the formation, and it was only a quarter of effort, the small detachment of Goguryeo shot down more than 20 people, and the remaining seven or eight people were all broken. fled in the direction of the gate of the camp, and before he could run out a dozen steps, he was killed by arrows in his heart one by one.

Mai Zhongcai put on a suit of chain mail with all hands and feet, and the three guards around him set up three large shields in front of him and above his head, serving as the commander of the stalker this time. Mai Zhongcai, who grew up on the Yangtze River since he was a child, finally realized his long-cherished wish to set foot on the other side. His eyes were blood-red. He lifted the shield in front of him and shouted, "Don't block my view, let the brothers line up quickly, quickly!" ”

Most of these stalkers were the tribal masters of the Iron Staff, who were usually well-trained, and in just a few minutes, they completely annihilated the search team of Goguryeo. The men in the front row had already erected a shield wall, and the sergeants in the back row, under the cover of the shields, took the weapons and armor of the ship as fast as they could, and then hid behind the shield array in front, adding one or two layers of protection above their heads to prevent the enemy's hanging shots, and soon, a preliminary shield array had begun to take shape.

Liu Chengmin gritted his teeth, he wanted to open the gate of the village at first and send more people out of the camp to fight back. But looking at the follow-up troops on the opposite side, a steady stream of flowers came out of the water, a piece of white flowers. I don't know how many people there are, he was a little weak-hearted, and he didn't care about saving the team that went out to search, but ordered the camp gate to be closed.

This came and went for a long time, and when he ordered his subordinates to attack with bows and arrows, the Sui army's water ghost troops had already lined up in formation, and more than 500 people formed a shield formation about 100 paces wide and about three or four columns thick, and the thick wooden round shield wrapped in iron sheets in front and above was perfectly protected, and spread out at a distance of about 30 steps in front of the Goguryeo camp.

And on the pontoon bridge is also running a large number of Sui army water ghosts and wrestlers, unconsciously, has arrived at the Yin time, plus the upstream of the Sui army began to build bridges to force crossing, the speed of the water flow slowed down a lot, originally swaying in the water, to rely on the underwater stalkers secretly to lift under the water to not disintegrate the five pontoon bridges, this time in the water has been as stable as Mount Tai, these water ghosts saw the success of their own smuggling, but also one by one spirits, shouting the trumpet, like dumplings rushed into the water, while holding the back of the pontoon, On the one hand, let the sergeants on the bridge throw more pontoons into the water, and the sledgehammer wrestlers nailed it as fast as they could.

Liu Chengmin roared sharply: "Shoot me, shoot the Sui army on the shore, quickly!" ”

Hundreds of bows and arrows rose from the camp in black pressure, or shot directly, or hanging, and flew to the Sui army shield array dozens of steps away, only the sound of bows and arrows hitting wood or iron sheets was heard endlessly, but few of the screams of the arrows came, and the shield array on the opposite side was as motionless as a mountain, tightly closed, blocking the passage in the camp that directly shot the Sui army wrestlers and water ghosts who built bridges.

After three rounds of arrow rain, the shield in the front row of the Sui army has been filled with dense arrows, occasionally one or two shields fall, but the wounded inside are quickly carried back, the other shield will immediately fill this gap, during this period the Sui army's bridge building troops have been erected into two pontoon bridges, the fastest two have reached the last section, the tenth section of the pontoon bridge, the Sui army on the opposite bank has begun to move, like a long dragon on the black pressure on the bridge deck, there is this time to rush, the tenth section of the pontoon bridge will be just completed, the whole bridge is unobstructed!

Liu Chengmin reacted at once, and shouted loudly: "Don't shoot on the shore, hurry, change the rocket, shoot the bridge, shoot the bridge, you can't let the Sui army come from the bridge, hurry!" ”

The Goguryeo archers hurriedly took out the rockets from the quivers, almost every archer had two torches in front of them, and put the arrows coated with sulfur and oil on the torches, and the arrows immediately burst into flames.

The screams were endless, and many of the Sui army's sledgehammers were reinforcing the nails between the two boat plates, and they were shot by rockets, and flames rose up and down their bodies, and they fell into the water screaming, and even the water ghosts who were holding the boat gang in the water also had many arrows shot, and there were suddenly more than 100 corpses in the water, and the river water became blood-red.

Mai Zhongcai saw it clearly in the shield array, and shouted loudly: "Crossbowman, shoot straight, fast!" ”

The shield wall in front of the shield armor array opened suddenly, and dozens of crossbowmen held infantry crossbows with two stones and three consecutive shots, and they did not aim, and in the opposite camp fence was the even buckle machine, and the crossbow arrows were like locusts, sweeping over the front of the camp fence more than 100 steps wide, and there were bursts of screams in the camp of Goguryeo, and some firelight began to shake.

The two guards in front of Liu Chengmin were constantly shooting at the Sui army's bridge-building troops, but after a burst of crossbow arrows, the two of them fell straight to the ground, and a crossbow whistling grazed Liu Chengmin's face, taking away a lock of his side hair, which hurt hotly.
