On the north bank of the river, Yan Xing stood on the gate of the village, looked up into the distance, and the camp of the state army was set up with its back against the river, with the flag waving, the momentum was huge, these troops of the state army were driven straight into from Paohan, and did not include the main army of Lu Bu gathered along the coast of Shicheng, this army firmly controlled the river pass on the south bank, and then calmly expanded, surrounded by their own camp on all sides, and the arrogance was overflowing.

With the prestige of the state army, as long as you push lightly, you can push the camp on the north bank. As long as their own defense line is broken, the army of Bingzhou can continue to cross the river, go straight to Yungo, and start a decisive battle with Han Sui in the vast plain area, but strangely, the enemy general on the opposite side does not seem to be in a hurry to cross the river, except for sending a small group of soldiers to test the defenders' will to resist, the main force has been stationary.

Yan Xing shook his head, now his army is already alone, it is useless to think about anything now, there are only two options of fighting to the death or surrendering in Kaecheng, he told the guards at the head of the city a few words, and then walked down the wooden stairs with a lot of heart, as soon as he came, a personal entourage immediately greeted him.

"General, Han Gong is in a hurry for eight hundred miles!" He lowered his voice and said to Yan Xing.

Yan Xing frowned, didn't say anything, took the secret report handed over by his relatives and looked at it, after reading the contents, he couldn't help but gasp, this letter probably briefly described Han Sui's defeat and the withdrawal of the army to Zhangye.

At the same time, on the south bank, a black horse galloped from the north quickly, the knight on the horse was dressed in black armor and black robes, with a four-pole back-protecting flag on his back, and at a glance he knew that it was the urgent messenger of the state army, the horse was sweating all over his body, obviously he had been galloping for a long time, and his snort was heavy, but the knight was still not satisfied. Desperately whipped, the patrols of the Bingzhou Army along the way got out of the way to ensure the smooth passage of the messengers.

Suddenly, the knight shook the reins, made a strange turn to the right, left the pipe, and ran towards a village on the south bank of the river. Waiguo on the east side of the river pass is an abandoned village, but now that there are troops stationed here, and occasionally figures flash among the ruins, armed with bows and crossbows, it seems that the guards here are not as lax as they seem.

As they approached the village, the horses suddenly screamed and fell to the ground, and the prepared messenger jumped to the ground, not looking at his mount. At a trot, he rushed to the entrance, where two guards flashed out of nowhere, blocking the way.

"Wuwei Urgent!" The messenger spoke hurriedly, shaking a fish-scale letterbox in his hand, and the guard did not dare to slack off on the letterbox, so he simply searched his body and put it in.

The messenger ran for half a pillar of incense time. They came to a large tent that was planted on the side of a hill on the south bank of the river. Very secluded, those who know a little about the war will see at a glance the extraordinary nature of this tent, which is covered with cowhide and lined with cotton cloth, and the shelves of the tent cage are supported by the best tenacious willow wood; There was also a layer of planks underneath the tent to separate the tent from the uneven gravel floor.

Outside the tent, there was a full number of soldiers guarding it. They controlled every point on the perimeter of the tent, cutting off it from the camp of the state, whether intentionally or unintentionally, seventy percent of these heavily guarded guards were facing outward, but thirty percent were facing inward.

There were three men in the tent at this time. Naturally, it was Gan Ning, the pioneer of the Bingzhou Army, and Zhou Tai, the deputy general, and Wei Yan, who was red-faced and long-haired, and there were many jerky on the dining table in the big tent, and there were two bunches of watery grapes on one side of the jerky, Gan Ning picked up one of them, carefully picked one, and then pinched the skin with his fingernails.

Zhou Tai laughed on the side, pulled off a handful and put it in his mouth and chewed: "I said Xingba, can you not bring those habits of being Jinfan to the barracks, this thing and skin are swallowed, you don't have to go to such great lengths." After saying that, he didn't forget to spit the grape skins on the floor.

Gan Ning glanced at Zhou Tai with disdain: "Reckless! Then he threw the peeled grapes in his mouth and chewed them carefully.

Zhou Tai smiled, grabbed the jerky on the table and began to feast.

"General Qiyu, Wuwei is urgent!" The guards opened the tent and handed the fish scale letter sent by the messenger to Zhou Tai, who was eating meat.

Zhou Tai took it and threw it to Wei Yan, who was looking at the cowhide map.

Wei Yan was intently staring at the map of Jincheng County, when he suddenly felt that his back was smashed, and he turned to look at Gan Ning and Zhou Tai dissatisfiedly, Gan Ning shrugged his shoulders, peeled grapes and sent them to his mouth, Zhou Tai's eyebrows trembled, and he motioned for Wei Yan to look at the ground.

Wei Yan glared, picked up the fish scale letter tube that Zhou Tai threw on the ground, wiped off the meat residue stained with saliva on it, and opened the cylinder to take out the letter.

After reading the contents, Wei Yan couldn't help laughing: "Xingba, Youping, prepare to cross the river!" ”

After Gan Ning and Zhou Tai heard this, they immediately put down the food in their hands, strode in front of Wei Yan and asked, "What does the letter say?" ”

Wei Yan explained while packing up the cowhide map: "Han Sui has been defeated, and he has withdrawn to Zhangye at this time, so it's time to close the net."

"Okay!" Zhou Tai kicked over the table in front of him, and vented: "I've been holding back my problems for half a month, and I can finally do a big job."

Gan Ning smiled, patted him on the shoulder, signaled him to be quiet, and then walked up to Wei Yan and asked, "Wen Chang, how is this battle fought?" "Lu Bu had clearly pointed out when he divided the troops that the battlefield in the east was commanded by Wei Yan, and although Gan Ning was the vanguard of the regular army, he also needed to ask Wei Yan for advice.

Wei Yan put the cowhide map in his bag, looked up and said: "Plan and then act, I already have a plan in my heart, cross the river first!" ”

Gan Ning nodded, since Wei Yan already had an idea in his heart, he didn't have much to say, and immediately beckoned Zhou Tai to return to the military tent, put on his helmet and armor, took out his respective weapons, and galloped towards the Bingzhou camp with Wei Yan.

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, a deafening sound of war drums rose up in the military camp of Bingzhou, and the generals and colonels of all departments heard the war drums, and they put down their military affairs and rushed to the big tent of the Chinese army.

After another hour, with a melodious horn piercing the sky, and suddenly burst into bursts of amazing shouts in the Bingzhou camp, under the leadership of the generals of the various departments, tens of thousands of soldiers from Bingzhou came to the south bank of the river with neat steps, and then quickly divided into three squares, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, and Zhou Tai each stood at the forefront with their own horses.

"Board the ship, attack!" Wei Yan hooked his sword and ordered the army to board the ship. Kill Han Sui's army on the other side.

Under the command of the three generals, the soldiers raised their swords and guns and shouted, and began to rush onto the boat in an orderly manner.

As early as when the Bingzhou army was stationed, Wei Yan had already asked people to prepare hundreds of ships for the use of the army, and at this time, hundreds of warships were ready to go on the big river. The soldiers on the ship stood with their swords in hand, and their eyes were fiercely watching the enemy troops on the north shore. When the sword and shield soldiers got on the ship, they consciously raised their shields or crouched or stood at the forefront of the warship, and behind them stood the crossbowmen who had already bent their bows and arrows.

"What are you waiting for? Let's go to war, rush forward with one breath! Wei Yan swept the warship and saw that most of the soldiers had been prepared, so he immediately ordered the battle, and the drummer standing behind him heard the order and immediately beat the drums of the attack.

"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"

Hundreds of soldiers on the ships raised their swords. Roaring to cheer himself up, the soldiers in charge of rowing were all veterans of water thieves Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, each of them shirtless, shouting the same horn, and began to steer the boat, leading the Bingzhou army to the north shore.

Rolling river, hundreds of boats compete for the stream, flag hunting. Drums rumble.

Yan Xing stood on the first line of defense on the north bank with his sword, staring at the dense warships on the river. Suddenly, having already calculated the range of the bow and arrow, Yan Xing immediately shouted: "Where are the archers, kill the enemy for me!" ”

The crossbowmen of Han Suijun's army, who formed an array behind him, heard the order and immediately rushed to the defensive line, firing their bows and shooting.

All of a sudden. The dense arrows were like pouring rain, and they seemed to be like locusts in the sky, with bursts of roars that broke through the sky, rushing to pour down.

"Ding, ding. The sound of "ding" sounded one after another on the surface of the river, as if a woodpecker carved dead wood branches, which was particularly crisp. Occasionally, one or two unlucky ghosts did not hide well, and were shot down the river by the speeding arrows, and disappeared into the great river.

Wei Yan, Gan Ning, and Zhou Taisan stood at the bow of the ship, staring coldly at the crossbowmen who were shooting indiscriminately from the other bank, they were looking for the place where the crossbows were fired the most, and when they came ashore, they would lead the army to kill that place, so as to reduce the casualties of the ships that came later.

Occasionally, an arrow or two would pass by their ears, but they stood as tall as Tarzan, but sometimes they swung their swords to cut off some of the arrows that were coming at their faces, and other than that, they remained motionless.

In less than half an hour, under the skillful operation of the Jinfan Department and the Baling Department, thousands of soldiers from Bingzhou successfully landed on the shore, except for Zhou Tai who needed to meet the follow-up combat troops, Gan Ning and Wei Yansui took their swords ashore and led the soldiers to rush to the crossbowmen of Han Sui's army.

Although there was the cover of the sword and shield soldiers, there were also many Bingzhou soldiers who died under the arrows, but this did not make the Bingzhou troops feel timid, but made them more ruthless.

"Xingba, go to the west!" Wei Yan slashed down Han Suijun who was blocking in front of him with a knife, and shouted to Gan Ning to support the west bank.

Gan Ning slashed the enemy general under his horse with a single sword, then pulled out the halberd on his back, and brandished the halberd to kill to the west.

Yan Xing saw that the front part had already engaged the enemy in close combat, so he immediately jumped down the trench with his spear, and stabbed at several Bingzhou soldiers who were slashing and killing his own soldiers not far away. Those Bingzhou soldiers only felt a few cold rays arrive first, and then there was a sharp pain in their necks, and they were all stabbed in the throat by Yan Xing, killing them instantly.

Yan Xing picked and killed these enemy soldiers, and his eyes began to sweep across the entire battlefield, wanting to pick on the enemy generals, suddenly his eyes were sharp, and his eyes were cold, and his eyes looked at the enemy general who was cutting his soldiers as melons and vegetables, only to see that the enemy general was wrapped in a soapy green scarf on his head, wearing a Shu brocade robe, wearing soap-colored cowhide boots, a dragon-patterned scimitar hanging from his waist, and holding two gold-inlaid single-edged halberds, every time he took a step, there would be a crisp bell fluttering in the wind.

"Enemy general, An dares to harm the lives of my soldiers, Jincheng Yan is here!" Yan Xing was furious, jumped on the trench with a gun, and walked straight to Gan Ning.

"There is a way in heaven that you don't go, there is no door to hell, you throw yourself in, today see how I marry your head" A halberd stabbed the enemy army in the name of the place, and after raising his foot and kicking his body down the trench, Gan Ning put the double halberd on his back, drew out his knife and rushed towards Yan Xing.
