Meanwhile, up the Corrido River.
Countless earth bags piled up into temporary embankments, blocking the river.
Goldman Sachs looked up at the sky.
Falcons circle and cry.
This was a signal. Seeing this, he perked up and immediately shouted: "Open the gate!"
Following the order, the soldiers began to take action. A group of several people worked together to remove the accumulated earth bags.
The intercepted river water has been accumulated for a long time, and it is almost submerged in the earth bags. Once it is removed, it can be imagined.
Like a torrent bursting out of a dike, it rushed out and instantly washed away other bags of earth. Several soldiers were slow in their movements and were almost swept away by the water. Fortunately, the people on the river bank reacted quickly enough and used their halberds as wood immediately. Zhi, struggling to pull them back to the shore.
Everyone knows that when a big river is cut off and the water is swollen, once it breaks, it will be like a mountain torrent, and its power will be devastating.
The rolling water is like a huge wave, sweeping down.
Looking at this scene, Goldman couldn't help but take a deep breath and said quietly: "Commander Su's tactics are unpredictable. A mere river can become a weapon to kill the enemy."
The middle section of the Corrido River.
In the splashing water, countless Xirong soldiers rushed into the river. The water could not even submerge the horses' hooves, so how could they stop the cavalry's pursuit.
But it was impossible for ten thousand cavalry to cross the river at once, and a little silt indirectly slowed down their speed.
A faint rumble began upstream.
This is not a mess of horseshoes, but more like the sound of a torrent.
And the sound is getting closer and louder.
Wu Ge was so excited that he rushed the fastest and was also at the front. He had already reached the opposite side. Naturally, he heard it and couldn't help but tighten the reins: "What's the sound?"
The Xirong soldiers on the left and right looked at each other with blank expressions on their faces.
At this time, the first half of the entire Xirong cavalry had rushed to the other side of the river, and the second half was in the river.
Everyone was looking left and right, not knowing why.
But soon, as the rumbling sound approached, huge waves appeared in people's sight.
"Water! Big water!"
"Run quickly——"
Screams broke out everywhere, and the Xirong cavalry who were still in the river suddenly became confused. Some people jerked their horses' buttocks and continued to rush to the other side, while others turned their horses' heads and wanted to retreat.
But at the speed of the torrent, they had no time to escape.
The water is rolling and huge waves are coming!
Swept right through!
In just one moment, everything was taken away.
People were thrown overboard, horses neighed, and countless heads were thrown up and down in the torrent, only to be swept over by the back waves and disappeared.
Human beings seem too insignificant in the face of the destructive power of nature.
Most of the 10,000 Xirong cavalry were carried away by the torrent before they even got ashore.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Wu Ge was dumbfounded, his eyes widened, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
"General, our brothers have all been washed away by the flood. What should we do, General..."
There were Xirong soldiers shouting sadly around them.
Wu Ge suddenly came back to his senses, looked around again, and couldn't help but murmur to himself: "It's over, it's over, we have been tricked..."
But now I knew it was too late.
Before he could make the next move, the group of Qin troops who were escaping all turned back.
"Array-"
A Qin general shouted loudly.
The Qin army was well-trained and moved in unison, with heavy shields hitting the ground and long halberds behind them.
At the same time, a neat square formation with black armor and red tassels began to appear on the left and right wings, accompanied by the deafening sound of infantry steps.
At this point, there were armored phalanxes in front and on the left and right of Ugg, and behind him was the rolling water. The river was about a hundred meters wide, and there was no way out.
Su Yi looked at the overall situation, holding a steamed bun in his hand, took a bite, and Feng Qingyun said calmly: "Eradicate quickly."
Following his order, the flag-bearer in command held a command flag in one hand, first waved it crosswise to the left and right, and then raised the right flag high.
"Arrow formation!"
"Arrow Array——"
From three directions, there was the sound of armor clashing neatly. Rows of soldiers bent their bows and drew arrows in unison.
The flag is waved forward.
The generals of all ministries ordered almost simultaneously: "Fire arrows!!"
At the command, the bowstrings moved in unison.
The densely packed arrows gathered together like three long black curtains, shooting from three directions.
This is simply unavoidable.
Plop, plop!
The sound of arrows entering flesh was heard instantly. In an instant, countless Xirong soldiers were shot off their horses.
Others were quick to respond and were waving their machetes indiscriminately.
The scene was filled with the neighing of horses, the miserable howls of people, and the clanking of weapons, making it even more chaotic.
This is just the first round of shots. Under such circumstances, Ugg had no choice but to charge bravely, because if they delayed any longer, they would all be shot alive.
There is no doubt that the direction he chose to charge was the group of Qin troops who were chasing him. After waving his scimitar to knock off a random arrow, he pointed forward and shouted loudly: "Warriors! Charge!" ——”
As soon as he finished speaking, he also slapped the horse's buttocks with the blade of his sword, and was the first to gallop out.
The Xirong soldiers behind him had no choice but to follow closely, shouting for courage.
The war horses galloped again.
On the Qin army's side, the front row was half squatting, and the soldiers all held powerful crossbows in their hands. They all pulled the triggers and fired the crossbow arrows straight.
During the charge of the cavalry, some people were hit by arrows from time to time, screaming and falling, but they did not block their offensive.
The war horses galloped very fast, and in a blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides had been shortened.
At this time, it was too late to prepare the arrow formation. The Qin army's front row of crossbowmen retreated decisively, and the back row staggered forward.
"Change of formation——"
General Qin shouted loudly, the infantry moved in unison, heavy shields hit the ground, and the phalanx suddenly changed.
As far as the eye can see, it is a uniform shield surface, and behind the heavy shield, there are thorn-like halberds, facing forward in unison.
Looking at the armored phalanx, a murderous aura filled the whole place. Wu Ge secretly gritted his teeth, raised his scalp and shouted: "Kill——"
The cavalry charged.
Under the halberd, many people were instantly stabbed and turned upside down.
There were also war horses that collided with the vertical shields, and they were knocked down by the impact.
Many people were even asked to enter the shield formation and have their horses' legs broken with hooks.
Cavalry has a natural advantage against infantry in a charge, but the Qin army's formation is targeted, and it is simply impossible to sweep through them.
Su Yi stood in command, observed the entire battle situation, and said in an orderly manner:
"Order the left army to cut off the flanks of the Western Rong soldiers."
"Order the right army to break through the center line and cooperate with the left wing to divide it into three pieces."
"No!" The messenger immediately clasped his fists.
As the general's order was issued, the entire battlefield situation changed instantly.
Unknowingly, the Qin troops from three directions had divided the entire Xirong cavalry into three encirclement circles.
The fighting continues.
Until this time, Kuban finally arrived on the other side of the river with more than 10,000 Xirong infantry.
But the water flow had already been restored here, and the river, which was about a hundred meters wide, completely blocked him from the battlefield.
