In fact, the Yellow Turbans began to prepare to cross the river at night, so as soon as it was dawn the next day, their battle to cross the river began. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the early morning, when the sun has not yet appeared, the 100,000 troops of the Yellow Turban Army gathered in three ways opposite the three camps of the Dingping Army, the Yellow Turban Army had expected this situation when it came, so hundreds of civilian boats had been collected, and the Yellow Turban Army was still cutting down trees and building rafts, and the entire south bank of the Weishui River showed a busy scene, and the Yellow Turban Army was obviously preparing for a big offensive.

In the early morning of this day, when the sky was just dawning, the patrol sentry of the Dingping Army suddenly saw a faint black shadow surging towards this side on the river, and the sentry immediately lit a rocket and launched it in the direction of the surging black shadow, under the faint light of the rocket, the patrol sentry suddenly found that hundreds of wooden boats were quietly sailing towards this side, the sentry was shocked, and immediately released a warning arrow into the air, and as an arrow flew into the sky, the sharp and piercing sound broke the silent night.

The rapid flow of the river and the dense reefs in the river made it unsuitable for a river crossing, but it was precisely because of this that the Dingping army's defenses here were relatively weak.

As soon as the sentry of the camp heard the summons of the patrol sentry, he immediately rang the alarm bell, and the alarm bell rang rapidly, showing an unusually tense atmosphere.

The Dingping army, which was guarding the barracks, immediately took action, and a cavalry of 2,000 men immediately galloped out of a guard fort on the north side of the main barracks, and went straight to the section of the river where the situation occurred, and at the same time, 5,000 foot soldiers also hurried to the place of the incident.

The two thousand soldiers of the Tempest Battalion, who reacted the quickest, rushed to the bank of the river a moment after the alarm sounded, and lined up along the river, by which time the patrol sentry who had discovered the situation had already come to the side of the cavalry company commander.

"Company commander, there it is!"

The sentry pointed to the misty riverbed and said loudly.

The commander of the cavalry company followed the voice, and sure enough, he saw countless shadows surging in the mist.

The cavalry company commander frowned, raised his right hand, and said loudly: "Use the bow and crossbow!" ”

The two thousand horsemen immediately took out the cavalry bow from the bow pouch by the saddle, and bent their bows and arrows into the mist.

"Shoot the arrows!"

The cavalry company commander suddenly lowered his right arm and shouted.

There was a loud sound of the bowstrings, and a rain of arrows sank into the misty riverbed, followed by a scream, and almost at the same time, there was the sound of a succession of objects falling into the water, and then a rain of arrows flew out of the riverbed and passed between the cavalry, with the characteristic whistling sound of arrows, and at the same time, many of the cavalrymen fell from their horses.

The commander of the cavalry company shouted: "Divide into two teams and shoot back and forth!" ”

The two thousand cavalry immediately divided into two groups, one running from south to north, and the other from north to south, and as they ran, they fired arrows into the river, and although the enemy would still fight back, the attack effect was much worse than just now.

The soldiers on both sides fired at each other, and before they knew it, the main elite army of the Yellow Turban Army was only a dozen paces away from the south bank.

The army, led by the elite of the Yellow Turban Army, jumped from the boat into the water, wading into the water with a shout, while the soldiers who remained on the wooden boat continued to snipe at the shore.

The cavalry company commander couldn't help but glance behind him, the infantry team of the Dingping Army was coming, but it was still a hundred steps away from the river bank.

The cavalry company commander immediately ordered his cavalry to retreat twenty paces, and the cavalrymen immediately retreated twenty paces according to the captain's order, turned their horses' heads, and faced the enemy again.

The cavalry company commander pulled out his Miao knife and shouted, "Charge with me!" ”

The two thousand cavalry shouted violently, urging the horses. Thousands of war horses raised their hooves and accelerated, and the speed became faster and faster; The cavalrymen roared and waved their swords in their hands.

The Yellow Turbans, who had just landed on the north shore, were taken aback, but they did not panic, because they had already expected the situation in front of them.

One of the leaders of the Yellow Turban Army waved the long sword in his hand and shouted, nearly a thousand soldiers holding large shields immediately pushed to the front, crossbowmen and pikemen quickly gathered in the back, and in front of the iron cavalry of the Dingping Army, these three thousand Yellow Turban soldiers organized into a simple but solid arc formation, hundreds of giant shield soldiers formed an arc-shaped defensive wall in the outermost periphery, and the spearmen poked out the gap between the spears and the giant shields, and from a distance, they looked like a big hedgehog.

Seeing this, the cavalry company commander who rushed to the front couldn't help but curse secretly, but at this moment, the two sides were already close at hand, and he had no time to order the adjustment of the formation.

I only felt that the heavens and the earth seemed to shake violently, and the cavalry charging at full speed slammed into the shield defense line of the Yellow Turban Army, and the dull impact sound made people's scalps tingle. The spear passed through the bodies of the cavalry and the war horse, blood splashed in the air, many cavalry flew up, and many of the shield soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army at the forefront spurted blood from their mouths and noses because of the strong impact force, and the entire shield defense line was instantly loosened.

The cavalry company commander brandished his Miao knife and shouted loudly, and the cavalry that followed continued to crash into the shield array as if they had gone crazy. The previous scene was immediately restored, and the shield defense of the Yellow Turban Army loosened even more.

At this moment, the third wave of shock cavalry was about to arrive. However, a rain of arrows suddenly flew out from behind the shield array, and the cavalry, who was charging at full speed, flipped on their backs. However, this did not stop the charge of the Dingping cavalry.

The third wave of shock cavalry withstood the rain of arrows of the Yellow Turbans, and once again slammed into the shield array of the Yellow Turbans. The shield formation of the Yellow Turban Army crumbled, and those shield soldiers fell to the ground with blood spurting blood from their mouths and noses, and those who did not die were trampled into flesh by the torrent of iron hooves that followed.

The commander of the cavalry company shouted, urging all the officers and men under his command to rush forward.

More than 1,000 cavalrymen shouted and slashed to kill, and the river lifted a monstrous curtain of water in the deafening sound of horses' hooves, which was really terrifying. The Yellow Turban Army, whose shield array had collapsed, could not resist the rushing iron hooves at all, and the Yellow Turban soldiers had a look of fear on their faces, and they ran into the river in panic, screams rang out one after another, and the beheaded Yellow Turban soldiers fell into the river, and the blood immediately dyed the surrounding river bright red.

In the end, only a dozen Yellow Turban soldiers fled back to the wooden boat. At this moment, this body of water has turned a vivid red, and more than 3,000 corpses are floating in the river. It was a tragedy.

On a hill on the other side of the river, Peng Tuo was observing the situation of the battlefield, and when he saw that his shield array was broken through by the Dingping Army in this way, he couldn't help frowning and said: "The cavalry of the Dingping Army is really a group of crazy people!" ”

In the past, Peng Tozhi thought that the remarks of the Dingping Army he heard were exaggerated a lot, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he knew that the Dingping Army was really not afraid of death.
