With a lot of labor, the pontoon bridge was quickly built.
"Charge!! Kill the enemy and get credit!!"
Xiao Jing shouted, drawing his sword and pointing at the Yellow Turban camp on the other side!
"kill!!!"
Following Xiao Jing's order, the entire army moved in an orderly manner.
Cao Xing and Huyan led reinforcements from various towns and led more than 1,300 soldiers to cross the floating bridge first.
Since Zhou Cang had eliminated most of the arrow towers set up by the Yellow Turbans on the river bank, the obstruction encountered by Cao Xing's troops was not strong. There were only some scattered arrows and the losses were not significant.
After crossing the pontoon bridge, Cao Xing immediately launched an attack on the Yellow Turban reinforcements that were coming continuously.
You know, there are more than 300 second-order cavalry in the reinforcements in each town, and these cavalry are a powerful weapon.
Under the leadership of the Huyan Po Army, the cavalry launched a fierce attack on the Yellow Turban reinforcements who rushed to the river bank. With almost a charge, the Yellow Turban Army's formation was broken.
Another charge, and a large number of archers in the Yellow Turban formation that was torn apart began to die.
Finally, some Yellow Turbans began to become frightened and cower, and some even began to run away.
First there was one, then two, then three, and finally a large number of Yellow Turbans abandoned their armor and began to flee. A large number of Yellow Turbans retreated and even began to break up the Yellow Turban army formation behind them.
Chaos, the Yellow Turbans are in chaos! !
Pei Yuanshao, who hurried over, saw this chaotic scene.
His expression was extremely ugly, and he immediately shouted: "The supervising team comes forward, and anyone who escapes will be killed without mercy!!"
Of course, he also knew that the morale of the Yellow Turbans in front of him had dropped to the extreme, and simple suppression might not be effective, so he immediately said:
"I have captured Shanwu, and glory and wealth are right in front of me!"
"I agree, if anyone kills the enemy, he will be rewarded with one tael of silver. If he kills ten people, he will be rewarded with one acre of land!!!"
There must be a brave man under the heavy reward!
Immediately, Pei Yuanshao stabilized the shaky morale of the Yellow Turbans.
"kill!!!"
Huyan Pojun once again led his cavalry to charge.
When Pei Yuanshao saw this, he snorted loudly and said loudly: "Fire the arrow!!!"
Due to the haste of Xiao Jing's attack, he was worried about the safety of the front line, so he only brought 300 soldiers with him in a hurry. However, the average strength of his soldiers was at the third level, and they were also proficient in archery.
Whoosh! ! !
Arrows are flying! ! !
Bang bang bang! ! ! Immediately, a cavalryman fell to the ground after being hit by an arrow.
Although the cavalry led by Huyan Pojun was at the second level in strength, it was not like Xiao Jing's 'Wind Cavalry', which had the 'God of Riding' feature that removed the weaknesses of bows and arrows.
Facing the oncoming arrows, some cavalrymen soon fell to the ground, and casualties began to appear.
"withdraw!!!"
Huyan Pojun's face was a bit ugly. He understood that the Yellow Turban reinforcements had arrived, and his idea of defeating the Yellow Turban was ruined, so he had no choice but to retreat!
But he didn't retreat. Instead, he wandered around the battlefield, waiting for opportunities to find fighters and make meritorious deeds again!
On the river bank, the troops of Xiao Jing and Pei Yuanshao fell into anxiety.
Of course, reinforcements from Pei Yuanshao's military camp are pouring into the river front line in a steady stream at this moment.
Xiao Jing's reinforcements were also constantly crossing the pontoon bridge and joining the battlefield.
"General Cao, thank you for your hard work!!"
Zhou Cang and Xu Tai joined the battlefield, clasping their fists and facing Cao Xingdao.
The reinforcements from various towns led by Cao Xing rushed to the front to block the continuous attacks of the Yellow Turbans.
In particular, after Pei Yuanshao joined the battlefield, the morale of the Yellow Turbans stabilized, and they even counterattacked several times, but they were all blocked by Cao Xing.
Another arrow killed one of the generals in the Yellow Turban. Cao Xing put down his bow and arrow. Seeing that the people coming were Zhou Cang and Xu Tai, he breathed a sigh of relief with a slight smile on his face.
"The reinforcements from each town are on the front line, and the casualties are too high. Some town generals have already expressed their opinions. In order to avoid affecting the lord's plan, these reinforcements under my command may not have much effect..."
"Next, I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you generals!"
Zhou Cang waved his hand, looked coldly at the yellow scarf soldiers in the distance, and said: "Leave it to me to wait for Pei Yuanshao to see how powerful I am!"
After saying that, the two began to switch defenses in an orderly manner.
The reinforcements from each town withdrew to the rear to rest, with more than 1,500 soldiers led by Zhou Cang on top.
Most of Zhou Cang's more than 1,500 soldiers were guards of the Pre-Qin secret realm. Although he has not yet understood the 'Pre-Qin crescent formation', those guards have their own crescent formation.
Therefore, under the defense of the secret realm guards, the battle formation that was somewhat chaotic due to the change of defense quickly stabilized, and even forced back Pei Yuanshao's attacks several times.
"Damn!!!"
Looking at the anxious battlefield in front of him, Pei Yuanshao's face turned ugly. Especially when he noticed that the Yellow Turban soldiers were dying, his heart was bleeding.
The yellow turban soldiers he brought were all elite. I didn't expect that they suffered so many losses in the battle with Xiao Jing!
Yellow turban soldiers continued to die in battle, and of course the soldiers under Xiao Jing also suffered many battle losses.
However, most of Xiao Jing's army are puppet troops, and their morale will not be affected by battle damage. A small number of soldiers who were trained by the common people all have red eyes under the promise of "killing the enemy to record their merits, and getting promoted and rewarded with fields." , frantically killing the Yellow Turbans to gain credit, how could they care about the battle losses? In fact, the morale of these small number of soldiers is still rising.
"If you kill one, you will be rewarded with silver, if you kill five, you will be promoted, and if you kill ten, you will be rewarded with fields!!"
"Kill!!!"
In order to kill the enemy, many sergeants in Xiaojing's army even sacrificed their wounds for injuries, even dragging down a Yellow Turban to their death.
This crazy scene scared the Yellow Turbans. The morale of the Yellow Turbans, emphasized by Pei Yuanshao under high pressure and high rewards, finally began to fluctuate violently. Many Yellow Turban soldiers looked at the soldiers and spearmen in front with fear in their eyes.
"Leader, these officers and soldiers are too strong, let's, let's run!!!"
Finally, one of the Yellow Turban soldiers broke down and cried.
"I, I don't want to die!"
"I don't want to die either. These officers and soldiers are too strong, we can't defeat them at all!"
"Run away, run away!!"
On the front line, the Yellow Turban soldiers who had a close encounter with Zhou Cang could not bear the heavy casualties. Their morale finally collapsed and they began to push and flee.
The defeats gathered little by little, finally causing a huge wave of deserters!
The Yellow Turban bandits who escaped from the front line were completely frightened by Xiao Jing's troops, and retreated backwards regardless of the consequences, so that the originally neat Yellow Turban army formation was scattered!
"Those who dare to run away will be killed!!"
From behind, when Pei Yuanshao saw this scene, his eyes were red, he was so anxious that he jumped into a rage.
But once the rout is formed, what will he do? !
Finally, seeing that the defeated troops were about to break up the formation, the soldiers around Pei Yuanshao couldn't bear it any longer, came to Pei Yuanshao, and spoke solemnly to persuade him.
"Director, let's withdraw! Withdraw to Shanwu City and use the fortified city to resist the army!!"
"No!!" Pei Yuanshao's eyes turned red and he roared, trying to get rid of the dragging force of his soldiers.
But when the soldiers saw Xiao Jing's army driving away the defeated troops, they were about to rush to them. They could only hold Pei Yuanshao back. One of the soldiers said sadly:
"General, if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood!!"
"Yes, General, we still have Shanwu City, how can we lose our lives like this again?"
Hearing this, Pei Yuanshao finally calmed down after being overwhelmed by anger. He glanced at the Huyan Po Army not far away who was leading more than 200 cavalry towards him, and gritted his teeth and said:
"withdraw!!!"
