Chapter 1159: Bloody Battle of Yanjin Crossing (I)

"Poor Kou Mo chase, occupy the entire military camp first, see how to defend here, and help set up a passage and pontoon bridge for transporting troops on the other side!"

When Sun Ning was able to kill and wanted to kill the fleeing enemy with a team of men, Wu Tiexiong's rather calm voice behind him had already come, and he also made him move, and then gave an order: "Don't chase it, it's a big deal!" ”

Under the joint order of the emperor and the commander-in-chief, this group of more than 4,000 Vietnamese soldiers quickly calmed down, let the scattered defenders escape, and began to build a defensive line on the spot.

At the same time, behind them, the hundred or so large and small boats that had just transported them across the river had turned around again and went to the south bank to bring the next group of men and horses.

Although the Vietnamese army had planned to build a safer and more convenient pontoon bridge here, the movement of transporting troops to the north bank by boat could not be stopped, because the former would take a lot of time, and the thousands of people who had already crossed the Yellow River would have to face the threat of hundreds of thousands of Gui Rong people from further north.

Therefore, being able to cross the river with one more person before the arrival of the enemy means that there is more strength and more certainty to hold this Yanjin crossing.

Wu Tiexiong is not only a good hand at water warfare, but also has considerable combat experience in setting up formations near the river to deal with enemy attacks.

Seeing that the camp was in his hands, he immediately gave orders to keep many people busy, either digging ditches outside the camp, or carrying all kinds of antler fences and other things that had been arranged on the side of the river to the side facing north.

All of a sudden, the whole camp was busy.

Although everyone experienced the horror of crossing the river and the fight after going ashore, they already felt quite tired. But at this time, no one dared to relax, wanted to rest, and all of them were doing their best to make defense arrangements.

Although the pillar of smoke had been extinguished by the Vietnamese army, they all knew that the news of the attack here must have come out, and in half a day, at most, within a day, the Guirong reinforcements would definitely be killed.

Sun Ning, as the emperor, just helped everyone move some heavy objects, and then was forcibly dissuaded by Wu Tiexiong and his subordinate soldiers.

Their reason, of course, is that they still need to have a well-equipped elite to deal with the coming war. Therefore, in addition to Sun Ning, there is also a team of 1,000 elite soldiers who can rest and recuperate at ease, waiting for a new round of battles to start.

And this includes several brave generals who fought side by side with Sun Ning just now and entered the enemy formation together.

"What's your name and what team are you from?" Sun Ning looked at the three soldiers covered in blood and asked.

The three of them were all flattered by the emperor's questioning, and after a while, they said one by one:

"The minister's name is Qu Dian, a native of Hengzhou Mansion in Huaibei!" This is the one who makes the double halberd.

"The minister's name is Feng Yonglong, a native of Sichuan, Shu and Yuzhou." The general who made the two swords also said.

"The minister's name is Zuxiong, and he is also from Huaibei and Xuzhou." Finally, the one who wields the short spear.

Sun Ning looked at them, the corners of his mouth curled, "Very good, since you can fight with me so desperately, then the first credit this time is yours." I remember you! ”

"Your Majesty Xie......" The three of them were even more excited when they heard this, and immediately bowed down, and were supported by Sun Ning, and then he looked at the other soldiers who were sitting on the ground, or closing their eyes to recuperate, or eating dry food with them, and said loudly: "Next, we will have a hard battle, a battle to the death...... It may well be that many of us will die here, but I hope that we will all hold on until the very end!

"Because this military camp, this ferry, will be the starting point and the most important place for me to return to Hebei and defeat the Guirong people in person! And I am bound to fight side by side with you, even if I die! ”

Sun Ning's words fell into the ears of every general, and they were quickly moved, revealing even more excited and excited expressions.

Immediately, someone responded in a loud voice: "We will follow Your Majesty to the death, and we will not retreat!" ”

Then this statement spread rapidly, and countless soldiers shouted in unison: "Swear to follow to the death, fight to the death and never retreat!" Swear to follow and fight to the death! ”

When such a cry spread throughout the camp, not only these soldiers who were recuperating their strength, but also those soldiers and horses who were still strengthening the camp became more and more excited, and even did things faster and harder.

It was in the midst of such a stirring shout that after noon the area to the north of the camp had changed dramatically.

Three and a half man-high ditches have been dug in a staggered manner, and then there are layers of antlers to resist horses, and then there is the real camp.

Many soldiers even carried all their bows and crossbows in one place, although the number was not too much, but it was enough for them to hold on for a few hours. m.

What is even more exciting is that as half a day has passed, the enemy's reinforcements have not yet arrived, and on the river in the rear, ships full of soldiers have come again. A second group of nearly 5,000 men is coming.

As long as the number of defenders here reaches nearly 10,000, with all the arrangements and preparations in this area, it will naturally be enough to deal with the powerful attack of the Ghost Rong people.

Just when Sun Ning and the others had greatly increased their confidence and began to look at the river frequently, expecting this wave of people to enter the camp first, there was a sudden tremor on the ground.

Everyone's expressions quickly changed, and the enemy came sooner than expected!

A moment later, a cavalry team wrapped in armor appeared in everyone's sight.

Although the number of this ironclad cavalry was only two or three thousand, and it was not even as good as the Vietnamese army guarding the camp at this time, the killing intent they revealed was enough to make the hearts of the five thousand people beat the drum.

"Black Wolf Ride...... The ghost Rong people are really decisive enough and dare to make money. Sun Ning gritted his teeth and whispered.

The Black Wolf Cavalry is the most elite of the three cavalry of the Ghost Rong, and it is placed among the Ghost Rong people, who are mainly cavalry, and the number is only about 5,000.

This is not because elite cavalry is difficult to find, but because they want to make up 5,000 collars of iron armor, and it is the most difficult to cover all men and horses in it.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Guirong people suddenly conquered the eighteen cities in northern Xinjiang more than ten years ago, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to muster a thousand iron armor heavy horses by now.

But now, they can take out 3,000 iron horsemen at once, just to recapture Yanjindu. This alone shows how much the enemy values control of this place.

This will really be a tragic bloody battle!

Sun Ning quickly came to his senses, and his eyes became more and more gloomy: "Get ready to fight." The ordinary bow and crossbow are useless, just let them put out the bed crossbow, and don't be in a hurry to hedge, first bring in the enemy, and then surround and kill! ”

As his words fell, a passionate horn suddenly sounded among the thousands of ironclad heavy cavalry in front of him, and the speed of the cavalry, which was only slowly pressing, suddenly lifted and rushed straight forward.

Some people died, but not completely......
