Liu Yu set up the formation before and ordered a row of wooden horses to be set up in front of the Donglai army.
When the Jin soldiers rushed forward, the Donglai Army soldiers began to stab the opposite Jin soldiers with their spears from across the distance. Some of the front row Jin soldiers holding swords were unable to fight back effectively because their weapons were too short, and they were killed and screamed. Again and again.
At such a close distance, every arrow Liu Yu fired could accurately hit the enemy's face, and Liu Yu specifically targeted the most courageous officers among the enemy to snipe them.
At the beginning of the battle between the two sides, the Dongnae Army, which did not have a numerical advantage, actually took advantage of the front.
The Donglai Army's thousand-man troops arranged in three ranks were like three walls, blocking the surging Jin army's crowd.
On the narrow terrain of the western ferry, although the Jin army had a numerical advantage, they could only advance in batches one after another, and could not quickly demonstrate their numerical advantage.
But soon, the Jin army also mobilized spearmen to come, and started a bloody battle with the Donglai army across Juma.
The infantry of both sides were crowded around the small ferry, with no room to move around. They could only stand there and desperately stab the enemy on the opposite side with their spears.
Many sword and shield soldiers of the Donglai Army passed through the densely packed spears and squatted forward to attack the legs of the Jin Army's spear soldiers. Many Jin Army soldiers who had no time to defend fell to the ground screaming.
The sword soldiers of the Jin Army also followed suit. They squatted down and got under the spears and started to fight back. Soon the sword soldiers of the Donglai Army and the Jin Army were strangled together.
As time went on, the numerical superiority of the Jin army became apparent. Although they fell one batch after another, soldiers from the rear continued to surge in to fill the vacancies.
The soldiers of the Donglai Army could only rotate attacks forward and backward at most, but they lost their physical strength faster on the tense battlefield.
At this time, Sima Lue and Liu Tun, the central troops of the Qingzhou Jin Army, looked at the battle situation in front of them, but they couldn't help but secretly complain in their hearts.
Because under the impact of more than 10,000 Jin troops on the left flank and 10,000 Donglai troops, they quickly declined and seemed to be unable to withstand it. If the Jin army on the left collapses, the central army is likely to be affected by the attack of the rebels, which will endanger the entire army.
Therefore, the top priority at this time is to quickly eliminate the Donglai bandit army that stayed at the ferry, and then mobilize the right and middle troops to support the left wing, and encircle the 10,000 Donglai army with heavy troops.
"Quickly send the order, let all the troops on the right wing press forward, and destroy this bandit army at the ferry as soon as possible!" Liu Tun ordered hurriedly.
Both Sima Lue and Liu Tun saw thousands of Donglai bandits at the ferry, fighting desperately to resist the Jin army's attack under the banner of "Liu, the general of the Fu army", which had already delayed the Jin army too much time.
The order from the Jin army's central general was quickly received, and the Jin army on the right began to desperately attack the Donglai army at the ferry.
Soon, under the successive waves of Jin army's attacks, several sections of the Donglai Army soldiers could no longer hold on, and their defense lines were broken through by the Jin army.
The resisting horses blocking the road were moved away, and a large number of Jin soldiers began to pour in from several gaps. The Donglai army staying at the ferry was about to be divided and surrounded.
Seeing that the situation was critical, Liu Yu began to lead his troops to attack on horseback, specifically attacking the Jin soldiers in those gaps.
After several attacks, the Jin soldiers who were in several gaps were temporarily repelled.
At this time, Liu couldn't help but feel regretful: Unfortunately, the space here is too small, only enough for these twenty or so cavalry. If the space is big enough and his two hundred cavalry are skilled in training, it is very possible to turn the tide of the battle. .
The fierce fighting between the two sides stirred up large tracts of dust, which obscured his sight, making it impossible for Liu Yu to see the situation of Liu Bogen's 10,000 people on the north side.
Liu Yu led the cavalry to attack again and again, but still could not stop the influx of more and more Jin troops.
The Donglai army, which originally came to support through the pontoon bridge, saw more and more Jin troops coming to kill them, and they all hesitated, and some even began to think about escaping to the east bank of Zishui River.
Soon, many Donglai Army soldiers who stayed on the west bank of the ferry were divided and surrounded.
Liu Yu was riding on his horse, shouting "kill" and "kill" while waving his long spear to repel the dense Jin soldiers around him. He and his horse were soaked in bright red blood, just like a god descending to earth. All the Jin soldiers who dared to approach were knocked to the ground by Liu Yu's long spear.
Liu Yu led more than 20 cavalry in a fearless surprise attack, and finally rescued the Donglai Army soldiers from two of the encirclements and retreated towards the floating bridge.
Due to repeated attacks regardless of horse power and casualties, Liu Yu's more than 20 soldiers had lost half by this time, and all the horses were no longer suitable for riding.
"Jixing, there is no other way, retreat from the pontoon." Dong Ping panted and said to Liu Yu, his eyes full of exhaustion and despair.
Liu Yu knew that Dong Ping's soldiers and generals had fought so hard that they were almost exhausted. After all, not everyone could be a perverted general like him.
The current situation is that more and more Jin troops are approaching. If they don't retreat, people like Liu Yu and Dong Ping may die here.
At this time, not far from Liu Yu and the others, dozens of Donglai Army soldiers were tightly surrounded by the Jin army in a circle. One of the tall soldiers saw that Liu Yu and others seemed to be retreating from the pontoon bridge.
The tall soldier tried his best and shouted in the direction of Liu Yu with a crying voice: "General Shiro, are you going to abandon us?!"
The high-pitched voice passed through the crowd and reached Liu Yu's ears.
Liu Yu saw that the Donglai soldiers in the encirclement could no longer hold up, and in the blink of an eye several of them were killed by the Jin army.
A strong feeling of unwillingness and unbearability surged up, and the blood rushed to his head.
Liu Yu shouted.
"Donglai Liu Jixing will not retreat even if he dies!"
After that, Liu Yu no longer cared about Dong Ping and others, and rushed straight to the Jin army in the encirclement with a long spear in hand.
He waved his long spear with all his strength, deflecting the weapons that were attacking him one after another, stabbing the Jin soldiers one after another.
The heavy iron rod whined as it was swung in his hand. The soldiers of the Jin Dynasty were injured if they hit it, and died if they touched it.
Soon, Liu Yu opened a gap in the originally thick encirclement of the Jin army. Liu Yu rushed in and joined the Donglai soldiers inside.
These Donglai Army soldiers were greatly encouraged when they saw that Liu Yu fought through the enemy's formation alone in order to save his own people.
Liu Yu shouted loudly to these Donglai soldiers, "My sons, watch carefully, I, Liu Jixing, will fight a bloody path for you."
After Liu Yu finished speaking, he waved his long spear and attacked the Jin soldiers who surrounded them.
The Jin soldiers in front of them saw Liu Yu coming towards them. At first, some people rushed forward to attack, but all of them were killed by Liu Yu with one blow. The Jin soldiers behind saw Liu Yu acting like a rope. Like a murderous god, they all retreated in fear.
The soldiers of the Donglai Army behind him saw that they were possessed by gods and demons, and there was no one worthy of their responsibility. They followed Liu Yu and rushed towards the Jin army.
Liu Yu felt that he was numb. He could feel nothing except the enemy.
He just wielded his long spear and stabbed all the enemies in sight.
Soon he found that fewer and fewer Jin soldiers dared to attack him, and almost all the Jin soldiers turned their backs to him and fled backwards.
In a daze, Liu Yu felt that he had defeated thousands of troops by himself!
