Finally, the Jin army completed its final formation. After three drums, the entire army continued to approach the front.
At this time, in addition to his own 1,000 armored soldiers, Liu Yu gathered another 2,000 soldiers. Liu Yu arranged them into three square formations to guard the ferry in a "pin" shape, leaving enough formation for the Donglai Army who would later cross the river. Space.
The Jin army in the west was facing the sun and getting closer and closer to him. Liu Yu could already clearly see the words on each Jin army's flag.
He looked to the north, where Liu Bogen and Wang Mi had completed their movement and formed a horizontal formation facing the Jin army's left wing. The Jin army's left wing also responded and began to tilt toward the north.
However, after receiving the order to change the formation, the left wing of the Jin army with a heavy formation was in chaos when it was implemented. Originally, they had enough time to complete the change before the Donglai army launched the attack, but these Qingzhou officials who were inexperienced in battle The army itself was in chaos.
Liu Bogen and Wang Mi keenly seized the opportunity.
"Hahaha, these people of Sima Luo are actually in chaos." Liu Bogen shouted excitedly.
"This is a God-given opportunity, don't miss it." Wang Mi also said anxiously.
Liu Bogen jumped out of the horse with a long spear in hand and loudly ordered the attack, and then the desolate conch horn sounded on the front.
Ten thousand Donglai troops launched a frantic attack on the Jin army, which was less than a hundred steps ahead. Most of the Jin army's archers had not completed their formation. Seeing that the Donglai thieves had already begun to attack, when the enemy had just entered the shooting range, They started shooting, and the arrows thrown in panic did little damage to the Donglai army.
When the deputy general on the left wing of the Jin army saw the enemy launching an attack, he gave up the whole team's march and ordered all the armies to line up on the spot to resist the attack of the Donglai army.
A moment later, the Donglai Army and the left-wing Jin Army collided fiercely. For a moment, both sides were pierced with swords and guns, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.
After the two armies collided, Liu Yu no longer cared to continue to wait and see the battle situation over there, because the Jin army's center and right wing were already attacking towards him.
When the Jin army approached dozens of steps, Liu Yu gave an order, and hundreds of archers who had been on standby released their bowstrings. A dense "buzzing" sound sounded, and hundreds of arrows flew into the sky. After flying over the highest point, it began to plunge violently towards the ground.
The formation of the Jin army was so dense that the assembled archers of the Donglai army did not need to aim at all.
As hundreds of arrows fell into the Jin army's formation, dozens of Jin army soldiers were hit by arrows and suffered varying degrees of damage, falling to the ground and wailing, despite being protected by armor.
Because the archers of the Donglai Army were basically novices, after firing three rounds of bows and arrows, the front row soldiers of the Jin Army had already rushed to less than ten steps in front of the Donglai Army.
Liu Yu ordered the archers to give up shooting and use spears and other weapons instead, but he still kept shooting the Jin soldiers on the opposite side with the two stone bows in his hands.
