972 Crossing the river and encountering an ambush
This highlights the quirkiness of the city even more!
Something must have happened in this yellow grass beach......
A quarter of an hour later, the whole camp was filled with neighing horses, and the soldiers packed their bags, saddled their horses and reins, and turned on their horses.
According to Yang Yinuan's instructions, the former army was replaced by the two thousand veterans brought from the Seven Star Village.
Their task was to cross the river quickly, then hold the bridgehead and move forward.
The Chinese army is the 5,000 new troops brought from Qixingzhai this time, although these recruits have been trained for more than half a year.
One by one, they can be regarded as qualified fighters, but they lack combat experience and basically have never really been on the battlefield.
Let them take the lead, Yang Yinuan was afraid that something would go wrong, so he arranged them to the Chinese army.
Because they crossed the river with them, and there were hundreds of carriages they brought with them this time.
These carriages were not only vehicles for these soldiers, but also loaded with a large amount of military rations and horses and grass that they had carried on their trip.
In addition, there are a large number of camping tools and equipment, etc.
And he himself personally led the three thousand personal guards.
And the reason why the river crossing has to be arranged so carefully is entirely because it is in the era of cold weapons and modern warfare.
Crossing the river is not a trivial matter for any army.
Although on this Yi River, there is a renovated and reinforced bridge.
But for the sake of safety, Yang Yinuan deliberately called all the centurion-level officers together before crossing the river and held a simple tactical meeting.
Tasks were given to everyone......
After another quarter of an hour, the army finally began to cross the river in its entirety.
The front army of 2,000 men crossed the river very smoothly, because they all crossed the river on horseback.
They had formed a team of 100 people, two groups at a time, and rushed across the bridge at a rapid pace.
The hundred-man team that crossed the river first immediately formed a battle formation and began to sweep forward and grope to expand the bridgehead.
In order to prevent any enemy, while the army behind them crossed the river, they suddenly rushed out and blocked them on the bridge.
However, the danger expected by Yang Yinuan did not happen, and this group of people quickly crossed the river.
Then there was the Chinese army, which began to cross the river in a mighty way.
The same team of 100 people was formed, and soon 2,000 people passed.
And from this moment on, their convoy of horses began to go up the bridge.
This was followed by a team of 100 people......
But just as the carriage was on the bridge and in the middle, a change suddenly happened.
Yang Yi warmed up in the rear barracks, but suddenly heard a squeaky sound on the bridge over the big river.
It seemed that the bridge was not so stable, and at the same time, from the dense forest of river embankments on both sides of the south bank, there was a sudden sound of whistling ropes.
His face changed suddenly, and then he shouted at the people on the bridge: "Speed up, cross the river, and the rear army will stop crossing the river......"
Soon on both sides of the Yishui River, sharp whistles of different lengths sounded.
These whistles are copper whistles that Yang Yinuan specially wholesaled from the modern world.
The whistle is very loud and piercing, and you can play a variety of long and short whistles through training.
And these whistles are all kinds of combat commands.
This is also the most effective way of command and liaison among the grassroots officers of the Qianshan Army.
Sure enough, the whistle sounded, and the soldiers on the bridge began to speed up and cross the bridge.
The soldiers behind all stopped......
But even so, some soldiers on the bridge still failed to rush to the other side of the bridge......
When the last group of 100 people had just walked to the middle of the bridge.
Suddenly, there was a strange creaking sound from the support piles under the bridge.
And at this moment, dozens of huge black shadows suddenly flew from the dense forest of the river embankment on both sides of the bridge on the south bank.
These black shadows rumbled into the bridge like a storm......
What's even more frightening is that these black shadows will explode with a bang after falling on the bridge deck.
The explosion was accompanied by a huge fire and black smoke that soared into the sky......
This picture made Yang Yinuan look stupid.
What's going on?
Could it be that this group of unknown enemies actually has thermal weapons?
How do they know how to make bombs?
His mind was clouded in an instant......
At the same time, the green shadow he saw in the dense forest of the riverbank had suddenly rushed to the bridge on the south bank.
Then there was a shout the size of thunder: "Kill! ”
A group of stout men suddenly burst out of the dense forest and killed the army on their southern bank......
At this time, the bridge on the Yishui River could no longer withstand a series of explosive attacks.
Finally, under the attack of hundreds of black 'bombs', there was a sudden boom and broke through the middle.
The troika that had not yet rushed over the bridge, as well as dozens of soldiers, fell directly into the turbulent Yi River below along the broken bridge, and they were not alive when they saw it......
And at this moment, all the soldiers on the north bank who had not yet reached the bridge couldn't help but glance back at their commander.
Thanks to my lords!
It's really like a god, if he hadn't issued a warning in time, then this time, it would definitely not be these dozens of people who lost.
Maybe this wave of ambushes by the other party can take away the lives of thousands of them.
And this is Yang Yinuan, but he didn't have the heart to care about this, all his spirit and spirit were put into the battle on the other side of the Yishui River.
At this time, the soldiers who crossed the river were more than 4,000 people.
There were two thousand veterans, plus two thousand recruits.
As far as he was concerned, he was actually very confident that these 4,000 men would be able to resist the enemy's attack on the other side.
Because he is very confident in the training of his Thousand Mountain Army.
It can be said that on the current Falken Star, their Thousand Mountains Army is the most well-trained soldier in the Cold Weapon Era.
Whether it is cavalry or foot combat, they have their own exclusive combat system.
But the problem is that he doesn't know how many enemies there are on the other side.
Although the Thousand Mountains Army is well-trained and brave in battle, if the enemy is more than three times as large as theirs.
Then, even if they are good at fighting, they can't bear it!
So at this moment he quickly came to the river, and then found the commanders of two engineer battalions, and asked them to quickly come up with a way to let the large army cross the river quickly.
That's right, the Thousand Mountains Army is currently the only army on the planet that has always been equipped with an engineer battalion.
In fact, this engineer battalion was born to help the Qianshan Army repair carriages.
Because they are currently the only army on the planet that is heavily equipped with wagons.
Later, the engineer battalion developed into a comprehensive team, which not only repaired the carriages, but also helped the soldiers repair weapons and armor.
During the siege, they also had to build engineering equipment, and in addition to building bridges and paving roads.
