Only a few thousand people remained on the opposite bank, compressed into a very small position at the head of the bridge. At night, they didn't feel that the tragic situation in front of them had completely collapsed, and people were desperately squeezing on the bridge, many people were squeezed into the river, and some were trampled under their feet. Zhang Rulong's eyes were already blurred with tears, and the officers did not stop it, and no one would blame them.

In a very short time, the soldiers south of the bridge finally returned to the north bank. They were placed in positions in the rear, and together with the soldiers who returned in the evening, there were no more than a little more than ten thousand people in total. In just one night, there are only this few people among the more than 80,000 soldiers. From time to time, there were inhuman howls from the crowd, and I don't know if they were bitten or frightened crazy, and in the end they all had only one ending. Zhang Rulong had to send part of his troops to isolate them, and the entire north shore was shrouded in an atmosphere of sorrow and terror.

The soldiers on the north bank immediately took control of the bridgehead and quickly erected a wooden fence. Archers and pikemen took up all the vantage points, and all the riversides on the north bank were lined up with archers. Everyone understands the ferocity of the poisonous wolf and the importance of guarding the Qingshui River, and it is safe to say that the day that happened on the riverside, where most people don't even know their names, will always accompany their dreams. Zhang Rulong continuously sent heralds to make everyone in the army understand that even if he died, he would die in the river with the poisonous wolf, and never let a poisonous wolf come to the north bank.

The soldiers sat on the ground, spears in their right hands and flatbreads in their mouths in their left hands. After a night of tension, no one ate or slept, this relaxation, everyone simply had no strength, and many people fell asleep while sitting on the ground.

The sound of sharp arrows bursting through the air woke the sleeping soldiers, who reflexively bounced up, quickly clenched their weapons in their hands, and fixed their eyes on the opposite shore. The wolves rushed across the bridge in groups, and before they could reach the middle of the bridge, the bows and arrows flew over, and the wolves with the arrows screamed and fell into the river. The bridge is only five meters wide, and the bows and arrows are so dense that basically no blood wolf can rush into the middle of the bridge. The archers at the north bridgehead had changed several rounds, and there were not many people standing here, and there were only ten in each quiver, and after shooting, they quickly retreated to the sides, and the people behind immediately filled up. At least tens of thousands of arrows were fired, and the bridge was littered with the corpses of poisonous wolves, and no less than 5,000 poisonous wolves fell on the bridge or fell into the river. The red blood flowed from the bridge to the bottom of the bridge, and the Qingshui River became a red water river. If they want to rush over, the first thing they have to do is to climb over the mountain of corpses of their own people.

Seeing that the bridge could not be passed, the poisonous wolves behind scattered in all directions, jumped into the river frantically, and wanted to swim directly. As long as there is one who takes the lead, the others will follow, and the blood wolves roaming on the opposite bank jump into the river and swim to the north bank. Some were swept away by the river, but many more quickly swam to the center of the river. The soldiers guarding the north bank did not need to be ordered to release arrows into the river, and for a time the water in the river was dyed red, and the poisonous wolf struggled in the water for a while and slowly went deep into the bottom of the river. The smell of blood in the river aroused the ferocity of the wolves, and more poisonous wolves rushed desperately from the bridge to the north bank.

The forward soldiers on the shore staggered back and forth, and many people ran out of arrows, and everyone shouted vigorously: "There are still arrows to come forward, and there are arrows to come forward." ”

"Brothers, don't let the arrows go wrong, aim and then release them."

"Wait until it gets closer to shoot an arrow, it's too far to shoot and waste an arrow."

The arrows of the whole army were brought all the way, and there were only ten of them per person, and at the beginning, due to nervousness, many people fired arrows from afar, and they did not hit the target at all. The vast majority of them were only young and middle-aged slaves temporarily recruited by slave owners, and they had no training at all, and the hit rate was only slightly higher until about 100 meters. Only two or three out of ten of the arrows fired hit the target, and most of them did not kill the enemy. In this way, the corpses of seventy or eighty thousand poisonous wolves floated in the river, and even the bridge hole of the wooden bridge was blocked.

There are fewer and fewer poisonous wolves on the other side, and Zhang Rulong's hanging heart can be regarded as letting go. Although he killed sixty or seventy thousand soldiers and almost used up all his arrows, he killed most of the poisonous wolves.

"It's still General Zhang who is powerful, and he has almost wiped out these beasts," Huang Qingshan, the lord of Nanling Mansion, said with some compliments.

"Where, where, this is the life of tens of thousands of soldiers on the south bank in exchange, it is not that they desperately drag the time until daytime, not because of this river barrier, my 200,000 people would have been wiped out a long time ago" Zhang Rulong was still very calm, and he felt afraid when he said this.

"yes, it's still the general who commands it properly. I was really dizzy, and persuaded my brother to evacuate. If the enemy crosses the river at night, the consequences are simply unimaginable. Brother, I can't accept it, please ask Brother Zhang for more advice in the future" Huang Qingshan has lost his old book this time, it is trembling, sincere and afraid. He himself knew that he had to hug the thigh of the Master's Mansion this time, otherwise Long Weihou would definitely not spare him. It's one thing for the owner of the mansion to be inappropriate, and if you don't do it well, you can't even save your life. Zhang Rulong is famous for his righteousness, and the two usually have a lot of interactions, and the Hou Ye can listen to Zhang Rulong's words, so he puts all his hopes on Zhang Rulong.

"What do you instruct? This is a grievance, if only Lingwu were with me. There is a fear of these beasts, Lao Tzu has long chased after it. When Hou Ye catches up, I must follow Lingwu with me," Zhang Rulong said with a clenched fist.

"Lingwu? What is Lingwu? ”

Zhang Rulong was about to answer, when a majestic and low roar came from the mountain pass on the opposite bank, and the eardrums of the people who shook him hurt. Those who were already about to enter the water on the south bank, or the poisonous wolves that were already in the river, stopped their attacks and ran towards the woods to the south.

The soldiers on the north shore let out an earth-shattering cheer when they saw the poisonous wolf retreating on all fronts. Only Zhang Rulong's face turned pale, and his body shook and almost fell to the ground.

"Tell the general, the poisonous wolves have let us run away, the river is full of their corpses, we have won!" A general ran excitedly to report to Zhang Rulong.

"Is this a victory?" Zhang Rulong muttered to himself alone.

"Yes, General, we are really victorious. The poisonous wolf let us kill most of them, and there are not many left, and there is no threat to us" Fortunately, the general did not say whether he wanted to go over and pursue, otherwise Zhang Rulong might really let him go by himself.

"No threat? The threat is great. You know the, give me orders. All horses and horses are to stand by and are not allowed to leave their positions. Get ready for machetes, let's fight the enemy by this river" Zhang Rulong drew his long knife from the scabbard with a swipe and strode towards the bridge.
