Knock knock! ......" The sound of the dreary, depressing, and murderous cowhide war drum resounded in the sky, shaking the four fields.

On the tributaries of the Yellow River in Lishi Fortress, on both sides of the turbulent river, a bloody battle is in full swing.

In order to quickly cross the Yellow River and quickly defeat the Liuyi coalition army, Ran Min can be said to have spared no cost.

As soon as the Wei army arrived at the Lishi Fortress, Ran Min beat the drums to gather the generals, beat the drums to gather the troops, and gathered all the ships that could be used, whether it was warships or civilian ships, and even improvised bamboo rafts and rafts, which were quickly put into the battlefield.

Under Ran Min's order, the Wei army of 80,000 people (60,000 forbidden troops and more than 20,000 county soldiers) was divided into 16 echelons, each echelon of 5,000 men and horses, which were personally led by the generals above the general level in the Wei army, and took turns to go into battle. One thousand of them supervised the battle, and four thousand crossed the river to fight, charging into battle.

At this time, Suo Chao was ordered to lead the first echelon to attack.

"Soldiers! The king has an order, each echelon, the first soldier to set foot on the other side, a reward of 1,000 yuan! Knights are promoted two levels! ”

With a "swish", Suo Chao drew the sword at his waist, pointed at the enemy barrier on the other side, and roared angrily: "Soldiers, the time has come for you to make meritorious contributions!" Now, follow me! ”

"Kill!"

As the saying goes, under the heavy money, there must be brave men.

Facing the huge temptation of "rewarding a thousand yuan and promoting the knight to two levels", the Wei soldiers' eyes suddenly glowed green, like a hungry wolf seeing their prey, and their morale soared for a while, and then they boarded the ship and rushed to the barrier of the Liuyi coalition army on the opposite bank as if they were dead.

As soon as the battle began, it was already white-hot.

Because there is a vast and wide Yellow River in the middle, the bed crossbows and trebuchets of the Wei army on the ground cannot reach the firing range, and they cannot give any effective support to the attacking Wei army, so the Wei soldiers on the ships are really facing a very dangerous situation.

Fortunately, the Hu people on the other side were afraid of Ran Min, and as soon as the vanguard of the Wei army led by Ran Min arrived at the periphery of the Lishi Fortress, Liu Wuhuan had all the grain and grass immediately burned, and all the large offensive weapons, including trebuchets and bed crossbows, were burned.

Therefore, the only Wei army that can really threaten these river-crossing battles is the arrow array of the Hu people.

Stimulated by money and fame, the Wei soldiers who crossed the river to fight were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, but there was no way, and it was not a short-handed encounter, so many unlucky Wei soldiers fell on the boat, or even fell into the river and drowned.

Fortunately, the Hu people on the opposite side did not have long-range offensive weapons such as bed crossbows and trebuchets, otherwise they would have overturned these rudimentary ships, and I was afraid that the Wei soldiers who would be drowned did not know how many.

Everybody's a landlubber!

"Archer prepare!"

"Shoot the arrows!"

Far away on the opposite bank, the Hu people saw the Wei army crossing the river, and immediately opened their bows and arrows, and after a few rounds of arrow rain, they shot and killed hundreds of Wei soldiers.

The soldiers in charge of the oars were unfazed by the waves on both sides of the boat and paddled hard.

"Poof!"

"Ahh

Many Wei soldiers were shot by arrows and fell, and even planted a heel in the water, and died in the turbulent Yellow River, without a sound.

The Hu people are good at riding and archery, and they are skilled in bows and horses, so they have a lot of bows and arrows, and they are very powerful. Of course, such a dense rain of arrows is really not accurate, anyway, many Wei soldiers have been shot into hedgehogs!

"Kill!"

Finally, the first Wei pawn landed on the other side, but he was confronted by a horde of Hu men with smiling faces and armed with ring-headed iron knives.

"Jingle Bell!"

"Whew! Poof! ”

The few Wei pawns who came ashore resisted a few times, and they were soon engulfed in the sea of people, and their bodies were all dismembered.

Suo Chao immediately landed on the shore, but he still had his bravery, leading dozens of Wei soldiers to resist only a stick of incense, and soon retreated scarred.

The Yellow River, which was originally the Yellow River that became turbid due to the accumulation of too much sediment, was drenched in blood because of this bloody battle, and the yellow sand was mixed with red blood, making the color of the entire river more intense.

Although the Wei army was brave, the Hu people on the opposite side were outnumbered, and only this ship that could only carry a dozen people could not take care of the rest of the people, so after taking the lives of more than a thousand people, the second echelon of the Wei army rushed forward in a swarm!

With the passage of time, the Liuyi coalition army on the opposite side had built a taller and stronger walled city on the west bank of the Yellow River, standing near the water, with arrow towers, watchtowers, passages, and corridors, etc., which caused great casualties to the attacking Wei army.

This time Ran Min Ke was angry, if he waited until the Liuyi coalition army really built the fortifications, the barriers were strong, and they couldn't hold on, if tens of thousands of people didn't die, the Wei army would definitely not be able to take the opposite position!

At this time, Lu Gan, who was in charge of the third echelon's river-crossing operation, had already led his troops to withdraw.

Lu Qian knelt on the ground, covered his arm that was bleeding from the arrow, and said with a look of shame: "King, the turtle shell of the Hu people is too strong. We can't take it down for a while! ”

"Nothing is impossible!"

Ran Min snorted coldly and said, "The widow really doesn't believe it!" His Hu people's camps are all made of iron, and our Wei army is all made of mud! The fifth echelon is ready to be replaced at any time! ”

"Yes!"

At this time, it was already nightfall, and the stars were shining.

But outside the stone fortress, the sound of fighting on both sides of the Yellow River still did not stop.

Whether it is the Hu people or the Wei army, they have already killed the red eye.

The drums of the Wei army never stopped for a moment, and their soldiers even broke through 800 paces at one point, but they were simply blocked back by those Hu people.

The Hu people are tall, the folk style is fierce, and the strength is great. Compared with the Hu people, the clothes of these Wei troops, who were mainly Han people, seemed a little thin, but they were strong and powerful, well-trained, and murderous, so for every three or four Hu people killed, these Wei troops would fall a soldier!

Rao is like this, Ran Min's heart is still dripping blood!

It is not easy to train an elite forbidden army warrior, especially this kind of warrior who has experienced the tempering of blood and fire, which is even more valuable.

waited until the early morning of the next day, and Ran Min finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Huangfu Song, how many bamboo rafts and rafts have you built?"

"The king, the ministers have mobilized tens of thousands of people in the fortress to cut down trees and build rafts day and night, and more than 2,250 rafts have been built, and more than 1,000 bamboo rafts have been built, and each raft can carry more than a dozen soldiers."

"Good!"

A cold light flashed in Ran Min's eyes, and he said, "Enough." Give the order to go down, and the whole army will stop attacking! ”

Soon the Wei soldiers who received the order to retreat were amnesty, left hundreds of corpses, and hurriedly withdrew to the Lishi fortress on the east bank.

Regarding the sudden retreat of the Wei army, Liu Wuhuan and the others were puzzled and puzzled, but they didn't dare to act rashly. The defending side, that is, the passive side, blocks the attacking side as they do.
