As midnight approached, the two ships were approaching the north shore, and there were faint groups of patrols on the embankment, lit bonfires, and improvised tents. Liu Ze ordered his men to dock the ship two miles west of the ferry, and studied the defense map of the Yellow Turban Army, and Liu Ze found that this area was empty and a suitable landing site.

The rowing Eagle Guard slowed down the oars as much as he could, and the draft of the oars was shallow so as not to make a loud noise, and slowly approached the north shore. In early spring, the Yellow River is in dry season, the water level of the Yellow River is low, from the embankment to the water's edge, there is a large area of dry reeds, and the Yellow River tidal flats are very muddy, and no one in the Yellow Turbans stationed in the Yellow River wants to run down, but only camp on the embankment to patrol. With this natural barrier, it can just cover the landing of Liu Ze's army. Although the tidal flats of the Yellow River are muddy, they will not be trapped in them. Bypassing this reed thicket, it is only about 100 steps away from the embankment of the Yellow River.

Wan Bing, the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal, who was responsible for the defense of the entire north bank, transferred the main force of the Yellow Turban to Chiping, and the defense of the Baima area was led by Deputy Marshal Wu Huan. On the third watch, most of the Yellow Turban soldiers had already fallen asleep, and only a few sentries on the embankment were Liao Liao sitting there absentmindedly chatting.

Liu Ze made a gesture, and several members of the Golden Eagle Guard floated over like ghosts, quietly approaching the target, and jumped up, and before a few Yellow Turban sentries could scream, the daggers that flashed with cold light had already cut their throats. Several Yellow Turban sentries stared at each other in dismay. There was no breath in their mouths, and until they died, they didn't understand where the men in black came from.

Eliminated the sentry. The rest was easy, and more than forty people rushed up. blocked the entrances to the tents, most of the yellow turbans had already reported to the Netherworld while they were still asleep, and a few of them had just realized that their throats had been cut by daggers as fast as the wind. In less than half a pillar of incense, this section of the embankment completely fell into Liu Ze's control. Liu Ze ordered in a low voice to send a signal to Guan Yu, who was still in the middle of the river.

The signal is to use the wind lantern, three bright and three dark, tell the front of the fleet behind the sù has been controlled, please land quickly. Liu Ze did not use flares, although they were more effective. But it may alarm the Yellow Turban guards. A brilliant firework suddenly appeared in the dark night sky, and it was strange that it was not noticeable.

Guan Yu, who was already waiting in the middle of the river, saw the signal on the shore at this moment, and was overjoyed, ordering the fleet to increase the frequency of paddles and march towards the north bank at full speed.

Liu Ze breathed a sigh of relief, so far, the battle had gone quite smoothly, even exceeding his expectations, and the next plan was to wait for all the 1,000 daredevils to cross the river. Advance in depth. On the topographic map retrieved from Jin Yingwei, Liu Ze saw that there was an unnamed high ground three miles ahead, and it was not difficult to hold this high ground and rely on the advantage of archers to hold the five-mile deep area. The pontoon bridge will be built in twelve hours, and these twelve hours will be a life-and-death battle of blood and fire.

At this moment, someone in front of him suddenly shouted loudly. Then there was the sound of ping-pong weapons intersecting, and Liu Ze was startled. I hurried over, only to see a large group of Yellow Turban patrols with hundreds of people appearing in the east. Pan Fengzheng led a few people to resist desperately. The soldiers under him reported to Liu Zeyu that the yellow turban patrol that suddenly appeared in front was the team led by Deputy Marshal Wu Huan.

It turned out that Wu Huan was extremely cautious, although the main direction of attack of the official army had been set in Eping, Wan Bing had transferred the main force of the Yellow Turban Army to Eping to build a defensive line, and Baima seemed to have nothing to do, but Wu Huan did not sit back and relax, and the 10,000 troops who stayed in Baimadu still strengthened their vigilance and patrolled the Yellow River embankment day and night. On the night of the end of the moon, Wu Huan had already gone to bed, but he couldn't sleep over and over, he faintly felt that something was happening, so he got up and took his own soldiers to patrol. When passing through this section of the embankment west of the White Horse Ferry, he accidentally found many corpses of the Yellow Turban soldiers, only to find that the situation was not good, and rushed straight towards Liu Ze's side.

Pan Feng was guarding the periphery with more than a dozen people, and first he had a short encounter with Wu Huan's personal guards, and then Liu Ze also rushed over. Seeing that the situation was critical, Liu Ze took the Longyuan sword in his hand and ordered Jin Yingwei to release the crossbow arrows.

A row of crossbow arrows shot over, and the Yellow Turban who rushed to the front fell to the ground, the Yellow Turban soldiers were afraid of the sharpness of the crossbow arrows, and retreated slightly, Liu Ze took advantage of the momentum and rescued Pan Feng and more than ten people from the encirclement of the Yellow Turban soldiers.

Wu Huan was furious and shouted, "What person? Dare to break into my Yellow Turban camp! ”

Liu Ze didn't answer, a gesture, and a row of crossbow arrows shot quickly, because the two sides were only a few dozen steps apart, the crossbow arrows were fast and accurate, and the yellow scarves were all cloth clothes, so there was no protection at all, but whoever was hit by the arrow was powerless to dodge, and even Wu Huan was almost shot by the crossbow arrow if he was not a soldier in front of him as a substitute for the dead ghost. Wu Huan was even more furious, but he brought over hundreds of people, but they were actually suppressed by dozens of crossbow arrows from the other side, so he ordered the pro-soldiers to rush up together.

After all, the wire crossbow is a single arrow and a single shot, and after a round of arrows is fired, it must be rewound and loaded with arrows, and the Yellow Turban soldiers are only a few dozen steps away from them, and they rush up with a shout. The Golden Eagle Guard also put away his crossbow, drew his sword, and scuffled with the Yellow Turban soldiers.

Originally, Wu Huan was quite happy, such a short encounter, no matter how sharp the bow and crossbow were, it could not be useful, this Yellow Turban soldier relied on a large number of people, and he could quickly annihilate this small group of enemies. But he soon found that he was too happy too early, these men in black were all extraordinary, skilled in martial arts and ruthless, and these soldiers of his own were all croppers earlier, and after the battle formation, they were slaughtered like people chopping melons and vegetables, and the rest were scattered.

Wu Huan was dumbfounded, hurriedly blew the horn, and summoned more people to rush over. As soon as the horn sounded, the Yellow Turban soldiers who were still asleep got up after hearing this, some of them were not even dressed, some were barefoot, and they all flocked to the place, shouting and shouting were deafening, and everyone held torches, shining as if it were day.

Liu Ze was secretly frightened, looking at the yellow scarves that were densely packed up like ants, he really felt that there were many ants biting the elephant to death, although the Jinying Guards under his command were all good players with one enemy and ten enemies, but the number of the other party was too many, how could only a few dozen people stop such a surging crowd. Liu Ze fought and retreated, guarding the last section of the embankment, silently praying in his heart that Guan Yu and the others would come over as soon as possible.

At this critical moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps on the side of the reeds, a tall and burly figure jumped on the embankment, and a big knife drew a gorgeous arc of cold light, but all the Yellow Turban soldiers who entered this arc of light were either killed or injured, and the brilliance was gone, Guan Yu said in a deep voice: "Big brother, little brother is late!" ”

Liu Zexi said: "It's not too late, it's not too late, Yun Chang came at the right time." ”

The hundreds of people under Guan Yu's command quickly entered the battle, and although the Yellow Turban soldiers still had the advantage in numbers, the whole shape had quietly reversed. Guan Yu once fought thousands of yellow turbans with a big knife at the Yellow River ferry in Qingzhou, and this time the white horse ferry was even more powerful, and the Qinglong Yanyue knife danced impermeable, setting off a bloody storm in the yellow turban array.

Zhang Fei, who came later, was not willing to let Guan Yu be alone in the beauty, and he shouted violently, which shocked the ears of the Yellow Turban soldiers around him to become deaf instantly, and even more timid people were directly frightened. Zhang Fei's Zhangba snake spear is even more like a dragon out of the water, people block and kill, and gods kill gods. These two fierce generals with 10,000 enemies alone are enough to defeat tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans, not to mention that there are hundreds of elite soldiers under them, with sharp blades and sharp bows and arrows, killing the Yellow Turban soldiers.

After a night of fighting, when the east was white, the more than 1,000 people led by Liu Ze had all crossed the Yellow River and firmly controlled the beachhead. Liu Ze ordered to send a signal to the officers and soldiers on the south bank, telling them to immediately start building pontoon bridges.

Huangfu Song and the others, who had been waiting on the south bank for a long time, were looking forward to it, and they were overjoyed to learn that Liu Ze's death squad had already taken control of the north bank. Huangfu Song immediately ordered Min Gong to build a pontoon bridge, which must be completed within twelve hours.

To build a pontoon bridge, it is to use a cable to connect and fix a small boat, lay a wooden board on it, nail it with a large iron nail, extend a boat forward one by one, and nail it up one by one, and then connect it into a pontoon bridge that can pass through cars and horses. But building a pontoon bridge on the Yellow River is not an easy task, the Yellow River is more than ten miles wide, and the small boats used to build the pontoon bridge alone are as many as thousands, and the wooden planks and iron nails are piled up like a mountain, and all such huge materials have to be spread on the river surface, and the workload can be imagined. The bridge builders mobilized by Min Gong are all experienced Yellow River boatmen and strong carpenters, but it is not easy to complete the construction of the entire pontoon bridge within 12 hours.

The construction of the pontoon bridge on the south bank is in full swing, but Wu Huan has become an ant on a hot pot, and the more than 1,000 people led by Liu Ze originally looked inconspicuous, but after a night of fighting, Wu Huan found that this was completely a hard bone that could not be gnawed, and tens of thousands of men and horses under his own hands had suffered two or three thousand casualties for a night, and they couldn't move them at all. Seeing that Liu Ze was firmly holding the beachhead, and the movement on the south bank was even greater, once the pontoon bridge was completed, the officers and soldiers' brigade would attack without any obstacles, waiting for them, only a complete defeat. On the one hand, Wu Huan urgently dispatched the Yellow Turban soldiers from the nearby ferry to rush to reinforcements, and on the other hand, he quickly reported to Qu Shuai Wan Bing, who was still in Pingping, and asked him to speed the main force of the Yellow Turbans to return to the aid of Baima.
