Chapter 533: Cross-River Attack

In the early morning light, taking advantage of the fog of the Mijiang River, thousands of Wuxi barbarian troops took more than 100 bamboo rafts and began to attack the opposite bank. Cao Jun on the opposite side noticed the movement on the river, and the alarm bell rang loudly, only to see countless figures swaying back and forth in the fog, and then it fell silent again, as if the noisy air suddenly solidified.

The river is very wide, and it took thousands of Wuxi barbarians a long time to cross most of the river and reach a place more than 100 steps away from the north bank. The generals who led the army gave an order, and the general Wuxi barbarians raised their shields on the bamboo rafts to cover the entire bamboo raft. Almost at the same time, only the sound of a swarm of bees flying in the air was heard, and then a rain of arrows crackled and fell, hitting the shields and hitting the water, and occasionally the barbarian soldiers were hit, fell on the bamboo rafts and screamed, or fell into the water.

The rain of arrows on the shore kept coming, and the Wuxi barbarian army continued to approach the shore with their shields against the rain of arrows of the Cao army.

The bamboo rafts rushed up to the shallows, and the Wuxi barbarians jumped into the water with a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, and rushed onto the riverbank. At this time, the rain of arrows was even more rapid than just now, and the rain of arrows from the dense rain of arrows whistled and flew close to the ears, and from time to time some barbarian soldiers were shot to the ground.

The Wuxi barbarian army shouted violently and rushed towards the nearby Cao army, who was shooting arrows. However, those Cao troops did not engage in the battle at all, and immediately retreated to the rear, while the crossbowmen of the Cao army behind the high trenches and horses were still firing non-stop, shooting the corpses of the Wuxi barbarian army all over the field. The Wuxi barbarian army had blood-red eyes and continued to charge forward regardless of casualties, while the Cao army just did not engage the Wuxi barbarian army at close range, using the dense trenches like spider webs to resist horses and delay the Wuxi barbarian army, and at the same time shot with crossbowmen, the Wuxi barbarian army continued to fall in the process of charging, and the casualties were increasing.

Knock knock knock ......! The war drums of the Cao army suddenly thundered, and the Cao army, which had been retreating before, suddenly besieged from all directions, like a tiger out of a cage.

The Wuxi barbarian army suddenly discovered that they had been surrounded by nearly 10,000 Cao legions.

The one-armed general Koji Yi personally came to the front of the battle. Glancing at the enemy troops in front of him, he saw that although they were under siege, they did not look panicked, and secretly praised them in his heart.

The Wuxi barbarian army shouted violently, and actually rushed over to kill Liyi, and the original leading general found Liyi and knew that he was the commander of the Cao army, so he led his soldiers to kill Liyi!

Koji Yi frowned and waved his weapon forward. The crossbowmen around him immediately sent out a wave of dense arrow rain, and the Wuxi barbarian army fell one piece, but they rushed up even more frantically howling!

Koji Yi hurriedly ordered the spear formation to attack, and the phalanx composed of two thousand Cao army spearmen advanced as a whole like a plane! The army is like a mountain, the spear is like a forest, and the snow blade reflects the glory of the morning light!

The frenzied Wuxi barbarians slammed into the spear array, only to see the spears penetrate countless human bodies, and blood splattered. The Wuxi barbarian army is constantly pouring up, and the spear array is constantly advancing!

A barbarian soldier separated the spear in front of him with a shield, stepped forward, roared angrily, and slashed down with a big knife in his hand, splitting Cao Jun's head with one sword! However, before he had time to withdraw the broadsword, he was pierced through the body by a shot by the spearman of the Cao Army, and was pushed back by the other party, wanting to fight hard, but he couldn't do it at all, his life was passing rapidly, and he was powerless at all!

On the other side, a dense stream of spears pierced a row of barbarian soldiers, followed by a barbarian army rushing up behind them, pushing their corpses forward.

The Wuxi barbarian army was brave and fearless, but the Cao army's spear array was like a perfect war plane, and the Wuxi barbarian army fell in a pool of blood one by one.

Seeing that they could not win, the generals of the Wuxi barbarian army led their men to prepare to retreat. Suddenly, I heard a drum, and I saw more than 2,000 heavily armored infantry soldiers with shields and long knives rushing up from all directions. The Wuxi barbarian army didn't have time to think about it and started a melee with the other party. The broadsword of the Wuxi barbarian army looked at the opponent's iron shield, and it made a loud sound, and it couldn't be cut through at all, and it was cut on the armor, only splashing a lot of sparks; And the heavy infantry slashed and slashed, but the blood was always surging, and the shield leather armor of the Wuxi barbarian army could not resist the opponent's blade at all!

The bloody battle lasted more than two quarters of an hour, and the battle was over. On the battlefield, thousands of Wuxi barbarian corpses were all over the field, and several seriously injured and undead were squirming hard in the blood and water of the corpses.

At this moment, the second wave of Lu Bu's army attacked the middle of the river. Koji immediately ordered all the sergeants to enter the position, and all the militia were also ready for battle! Cao's army relied on trenches to resist horses and waited for battle!

When Lu Bu's army was not far from the shore, Cao's army fired arrows, and the Wuxi barbarians on the bamboo row resisted with shields, and the scene in front of them was like a copy just now.

Soon after, the Wuxi barbarians rushed ashore, but instead of attacking in depth like just now, they lined up on the spot, forming a shield wall with shields to resist the attacks of Cao's crossbowmen, and at the same time, some barbarian soldiers with sledgehammers struggled to drive wooden stakes on the riverbank, banging loudly one after another. After laying the stakes, the barbarian soldiers struggled to pull up a rope, and several ropes that were shouting immediately appeared on the surface of the river.

Seeing this, Koji Yi was shocked, and immediately shouted: "The whole army charges!" Drive the enemy down the river! More than 10,000 foot soldiers shouted violently, rushed towards the shore like a tide, and crashed into the defensive line of the barbarian army, and the sound of a huge crash resounded. The soldiers on both sides roared and pushed their shields desperately, the barbarian army desperately stabilized the dìng battle line, and the Cao army desperately wanted to break through the barbarian front! While pushing and shoving, the blades of both sides continued to greet each other, accompanied by shouting and scolding, blood gushed from time to time, and someone fell, but in the crowded scene, it did not attract any attention at all.

At the same time, Yan Xing personally led a thousand armored infantry of the Longtao Army to ride a wooden raft and pull the ropes across the river to quickly reinforce the opposite bank.

The barbarian army finally couldn't resist the opponent's push, the front collapsed, and the two sides fell into a melee! Knives and guns come and go, and blood splatters. The one who was cut to the ground desperately tried to stand up, but was cut off by his opponent with a knife; The two soldiers scuffled together and fell into the water, the barbarian soldier rode under the Cao soldier with strength, choked his neck, the soldier stared at the soldier and gritted his teeth and pulled out the dagger, stabbed violently, the dagger pierced into the waist of the barbarian soldier, the barbarian soldier spurted out a mouthful of blood, but pinched the neck of the Cao soldier even more frantically, the Cao soldier stabbed several times, the barbarian soldier did not let go, and finally the two died together in the water.

Cao's counterattack was very fierce, and although the barbarian army was brave, it was gradually unable to resist. At this moment, Yan Xing led a thousand armored infantry to the battlefield.
