Hearing Lin Haotian's order, the 30,000-strong soldiers of the Fourth Army stood out from the grass one after another and pushed the raft hidden in the weeds to the river.

Five thousand rafts were unfurled, and when you looked up, there was a black and oppressive area on the shore, and there were many golden troops like ants, either walking on rafts or carrying baggage, shuttling back and forth, very busy.

At this time, Lin Haotian and the others no longer hid their traces, and straightened up one after another, walked to a high ground, and watched their own river-crossing actions.

After a short time, the first rafts quietly left the shore and swept away towards the opposite shore at a rapid pace.

This more than 1,000 rafts are full of Jin troops, not to mention more than 10,000 people, the speed of gliding on the river is extremely fast, and more than 10 meters are traveled in an instant, and then there is the second batch of rafts, like the first batch, there are more than 10,000 people on it, and then the third and fourth batches are followed......

These rafts in the back are mainly war horses, spokes, grain and grass.

Although the Fourth Legion was full of new recruits, most of them knew the water, and stood on the rickety raft without any panic, and no one fell into the water, which was much better than the First and Second Legions.

Watching his soldiers row to the opposite bank on a raft in batches, a smile gradually appeared on Lin Haotian's face, and his two eyes were about to shine, at this time his heart was both nervous and excited, he didn't expect that the war would go so smoothly.

Time passed quickly, the first rafts were getting closer and closer to the west bank of the Wangjiang River, people squinted their eyes, clenched their fists tightly, and stared at the opposite bank by the dim light of dusk.

I don't know how long it took. The first batch of rafts finally arrived on the west bank of the Wang River with the eagerness of everyone.

Seeing his soldiers rushing up to the river bank like a tide, Lin Haotian's beating heart finally calmed down, he let out a long sigh, and then couldn't help but smile on his back, and said to everyone on the left and right: "Early tomorrow morning, our army will start a stove in the wooden camp." ”

"Haha!" the crowd said. They all let out loud daxiao, and Ding Feng said to the partial general behind him: "Pass the order, let my soldiers prepare to cross the river!"

"Yes, General!" replied excitedly, turning and galloping away.

In the eyes of Lin Haotian, Ding Feng and others, as long as they can successfully cross the Wang River and go up to the west bank, the war will have been more than half successful, but what everyone never expected is that the Fourth Army Corps, which crossed the Wang River first, has really become cannon fodder.

Just as the First Army was in battle formation by the river. Just when his raft came back from the other side, he suddenly heard a sharp and piercing scream through the dense forest on the other side, and this sound was all too familiar to the people who had been on the battlefield for a long time, it was the rattling arrow used for the herald.

The people froze, looked at the other side with a look of surprise on their faces, their eyes widened.

I saw that the woods on the west bank of the Wang River suddenly lit up with a fire as dense as stars. Before anyone could figure out what was going on, the flames flew out at the same time.

It was a flaming rocket wrapped in an oilcloth. The Jin army, which had just come ashore, was transporting the weight and grain and grass on the raft, and where was there any defense, they were caught off guard by this sudden arrow array.

The Fourth Army has only been formed for three days, and it has not yet had time to do systematic training, and the people will not fight, facing a sneak attack. I didn't know how to deal with it, but as the arrow array flew in, the Jin army on the shore and on the raft suddenly became a live target, and the huge river bank instantly became a hell on earth.

After just one round of arrows, countless soldiers fell to the ground with arrows. On the riverbank, there were corpses everywhere, screams, cries for help and screams everywhere, and the riverbank was in chaos.

The arrows in the woods were like raindrops, shooting round after round, and the soldiers who had already gone up to the river bank did not even see where the enemy was, and had no intention of fighting, so they ran back like crazy, rushed to the raft and tried to retreat to the east bank, but the raft behind them was still gliding rapidly, and this advance and retreat, just hit one place.

On the surface of the river, the clatter of the rafts collided endlessly, and the group of soldiers of the Fourth Legion screamed and fell into the river, but they finally showed their heads, and they were greeted by either rockets or rafts rowed back and forth, and the soldiers who fell into the water were either shot or smashed in the head, and the river was full of floating corpses, and the scarlet blood slowly spread in the clear water.

The fate of the soldiers who fell into the water was terrible, and the soldiers on the raft were even more pitiful, watching countless rockets coming head-on, with nowhere to hide, nowhere to retreat, and being shot alive as hedgehogs in the screams of fear.

The arrow array in the forest will not stop because of the misery of the new army, but will shoot more and more urgently, and the density of arrows will become more and more dense.

After a short time, many rafts were affected by rockets and caught fire, and the wooden stakes that formed the raft could withstand the flames because they were soaked in the river water, but the hemp rope that fixed the wooden stakes could not withstand the fire, and soon, the hemp rope on the raft was burned off, and the wooden piles arranged side by side lost their fixation and scattered one after another, and the soldiers standing on it also fell into the river with dumplings from the water.

At this time, looking at the camp of the Jin Army, it is a mess, the people on the shore pushed and trampled on each other, the people on the raft kept falling into the water, and the whole scene was a mess.

Gu Liangyun, the commander of the Fourth Legion, saw this scene, and he was also in chaos, he kept shouting, let his soldiers hold on, rush to the river bank, and fight a decisive battle with the enemy, but soon he found that the west bank of the Wang River could not go up, the arrow rain in the forest was too dense, and the waves fell down in waves, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even he was hit by several arrows, if he was deep in martial arts, he would have to cross Wang Jiang at this time.

At this time, Gu Liangyun hurriedly changed his order and ordered the whole army to retreat.

The 30,000-strong Fourth Army could no longer retreat, and the arrow array in the forest was already a fatal blow to the Fourth Army, but this was only a prelude to the opponent's attack.

Just as Gu Liangyun was commanding the whole army to retreat, a partial general beside him jumped on the raft as if he had been stepped on by someone, pulled his arm sharply, pointed to the north and shouted: "General...... General, that ...... What's that?"

Gu Liangyun turned his head to look, he was also dumbfounded, only to see that in the north, the warships of the Mu Kingdom were going down the river and rushing straight towards their own rafts.

Because it was already dark at this time, the Wood Country warship was rowing down the river again, and the speed was extremely fast, and when they noticed the Mu Country warship, the distance between the two sides was less than half a mile.

Looking at the black behemoth on the river, Gu Liangyun's head was blank, how could this battle be fought, there were ambushes on the shore, there were warships on the river, didn't he kill himself by relying only on these vulnerable rafts to fight the enemy?

"General, general, what should we do now?" Seeing that the Mu Kingdom warship was approaching, the general was sweating in a hurry, and shouted at Gu Liangyun repeatedly.

What should I do? How did Gu Liangyun know what to do? Now there is no other way but to retreat!

He came back to his senses and shouted to the generals and guards on the left and right: "Quick! Row quickly! Withdraw to the east shore!"

People didn't dare to slack off, and according to Gu Liangyun's instructions, they used their strength to eat milk one by one, and desperately rowed the wooden oars to Jiangdong.

Gu Liangyun ran away first, but the officers and men of the Fourth Army Corps, who were still in chaos below, were even more chaotic, people lost their command and were not in order, and there were countless casualties caused by just colliding with each other.

In the blink of an eye, the wooden warship approached, with the arrival of the wooden warship, this was a worse blow to the Fourth Legion, the wooden army on the warship did not need to release arrows, nor did it need to launch any attack, just relying on the huge and sturdy hull of the ship, and knocked over the rafts on the river one after another as soon as they walked.

The current Fourth Army is too miserable, the raft on which it is riding is either burned or crushed, a large number of soldiers fall into the wooden army on the Wangjiang warship with a halberd, and stab it easily and casually, but every halberd is stabbed, there will always be a heart-rending scream, to Zuihou, there is almost no river water along this section of the Wang River, the river surface is completely covered by floating corpses, and the Wang River has also become a blood river.

The 4th Army of 30,000 people, with Gu Liangyun retreating to the east bank of the Wang River, was less than 300 people, and the disastrous defeat in this battle can be regarded as a precedent for the Jin Kingdom. (To be continued......)
