The wind blew across the river. It was a large river flowing from north to south. It was dozens of feet wide and sparkling. It nourished more than 100,000 acres of land on both sides. This river is Tang River.
Tanghe County is also named after this.
At this time, the river was constantly echoing with the roars of fighting. The craftsmen accompanying the Huai Army quickly made ferries one after another using felled trees.
At this time, hundreds of ferries on the river were carrying a large number of Huai soldiers and charging towards the other bank.
There were also many soldiers driving wooden piles under the command of craftsmen in preparation for building a pontoon bridge on the river.
After the pontoon bridge is completed, the Huai army can cross the river and reach the Tanghe city.
"kill!"
The Huai soldiers on the ferry were holding shields on the outside and archers standing behind them.
When they got close to the other side, they fired their bows and arrows, and the arrows mingled with each other.
There are more than a hundred officers, all wearing armor, with strong muscles and strong strength.
They got so angry that when they got close to the other side, they jumped off the ferry, stood in waist-deep water and swooped forward quickly.
puff!
A cone-shaped armor-piercing arrow whizzed over and pierced the chest of one of the Huai Army soldiers.
The Baihu screamed and looked in the direction of the arrow before dying.
I saw tens of thousands of soldiers on the west bank, relying on the river water to block the Huai army from crossing the river. Among them, the person who shot the arrow was a fierce-looking general riding a horse in the military formation.
"Senior Huai is indeed difficult to deal with!"
After shooting a Huai Army Baihu, the general did not show joy on his face, but was still a little gloomy, because after Baihu fell to the ground, Deputy Baihu quickly took over the command. It didn't cause turmoil.
And when the picture is enlarged, thousands of Huai soldiers risked their lives in the cross-river attack, and the death of a hundred households in the battle is nothing more than a trivial matter. It has no impact on the overall situation.
"Thirteenth brother, the Huai army's offensive is fierce. If it continues like this, it will be very detrimental to us!"
A Xichu general came over and said in a low voice.
The Western Chu general who just took action was Xiang Han, a descendant of the Xiang family who was responsible for guarding Tanghe.
Xiang Han glanced at the battlefield ahead and said solemnly: "Our army is guarding the river and occupying a favorable location. If one of our brothers is killed in the battle, three of the Huai army will fall. I don't believe that the Huai army dares to keep confronting us." Consumption!"
As he spoke, he looked towards the Huai army formation on the east bank. His eyes sneered.
Inside the Huai Army formation on the east coast.
Mai Tiezhang retracted his gaze towards the other side and began to focus on the pontoon bridge being built. This pontoon bridge was built by craftsmen from the Construction Department at a very fast speed.
Many improvised ferries were used as bridges, with wooden planks covering them, and simple pontoons were completed.
Thousands of soldiers rode the ferry. In addition to attracting the enemy's attention, the main purpose was to prevent the enemy from attacking the pontoon with fire ships upstream, causing the pontoon to burn down...
All in all, the purpose of Mai Tiezhang is to build a floating bridge.
Only when the pontoon bridge is built will he launch a general attack.
If there was a problem with the pontoon bridge, the soldiers of the Huai Army who crossed the river to attack would be in dire straits, and their entire army would inevitably be wiped out... In the history of the origin world, Taimai Iron Staff suffered a big loss in this regard.
He led the vanguard across the river to attack the enemy, but the pontoon bridge was shortened and subsequent support failed to keep up. As a result, he was full of bravery, but was eventually killed by the soldiers.
The bloody lesson made Mai Tiezhang decide to play it safe.
Uncle Zhou Feng was riding a war horse nearby, sometimes looking at the pontoon bridge, sometimes looking at the thousands of soldiers riding the ferry to attack the other side, trying to drive a nail.
He held the Huntie Changshan tightly in his right hand, ready to charge at any time.
Uncle Zhou Feng was brave and resourceful and could understand Mai Tiezhang's thoughts.
I don’t know how long it took.
Thousands of soldiers rushed to the other side of the river and formed a circular formation to resist the siege of the Western Chu soldiers. Behind them, the pontoon bridge had extended to the beach.
Xiang Han of the Western Chu Army kept giving orders and wanted to destroy the pontoon bridge with a riprap truck.
However, it is obvious that the trebuchets built by Xichu craftsmen are not yet so accurate.
"General Zhou!"
At this time, Mai Tiezhang's eyes fell on Uncle Zhou Feng and said in a deep voice: "The pontoon bridge has been built. You can take your troops and horses to cross the river immediately and set up a position on the other side!"
"The last general takes command!"
Uncle Zhou Feng had been waiting for such an order for a long time. He came with Mai Tiezhang this time just to perform meritorious service.
And credit can only be obtained on the battlefield.
boom!
Uncle Zhou Feng dismounted and led his three thousand elite troops onto the pontoon. Holding a shield in one hand and a long spear in the other, he ran towards the other side as fast as possible.
kill!
He was as fast as lightning. As soon as he reached the other side of the pontoon bridge, he rushed into the Xichu army.
Gang Qi roared, and blood-red evil energy appeared behind him. The evil energy condensed into the shape of a wild bull. With the blessing of the power of the Dharma, Uncle Zhou Feng seemed to have truly turned into a rampaging and indomitable bull.
They went on a rampage and killed all the Xichu soldiers who came to besiege them in a blink of an eye.
"Who is this person?"
Xiang Han, who was far away, saw this scene and his expression suddenly changed.
At this time, no one answered Xiang Han's question.
After Zhou Panlong and Zhou Fengshu defected to the Huai Army, their reputations did not spread. Xiang Han thought that the only person facing him was Mai Tiezhang, a seventh-level general.
"Two seventh-level generals, with our current strength, it will be difficult to stop them! Thirteenth brother, Yafu said, let us rely on the terrain, resist step by step, and retreat decisively if the situation is not good!"
"In my opinion, before the Huai army forward has crossed the river, we can retreat to the city first..."
General Xi Chu who spoke just now said.
He was also a member of the Xiang clan in the Western Chu Army, so he dared to speak like this in front of Xiang Han.
Xiang Han gritted his teeth and watched Zhou Fengshu tearing apart the military formation. On the pontoon, the Huai army was crossing the river quickly.
He could only say: "Send the order, the army will retreat one by one, and let General Ji Bu stationed in Tanghe City come to respond!"
The Huai army came too fast.
If the Western Chu army is given enough time, Xiang Han can guarantee that the Huai army will never be allowed to build a pontoon bridge and cross the river so easily.
However, this sniper attack also caused the Huai army to lose two to three thousand elite soldiers, which was considered a small gain.
Xiang Han gave an order.
The Western Chu army left one of its soldiers and horses behind, and the other soldiers quickly retreated. Uncle Zhou Feng wanted to take advantage of the situation to charge, cover up the enemy behind and let the Western Chu army collapse when they retreated.
But Xiang Han was prepared for it. As soon as Zhou Fengshu caught up with him, Xiang Han personally led a thousand cavalry in black armor to rush in. In one attack, Zhou Fengshu's troops were destroyed by hundreds.
Facing such a fierce cavalry.
Uncle Zhou Feng could only give up the pursuit and put the safety of the pontoon first.
"The spies reported that in addition to the 8,000 Overlord's cavalry, the Western Chu Army also trained 10,000 Jiangdong cavalry... These 10,000 cavalry are the reserve army of the Overlord's cavalry!"
"Now it seems that this Jiangdong cavalry is indeed quite powerful!"
Mai Tiezhang had already led the forward across the river. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
