As soon as Shi Bin's toothbrush retreated, the Qiang and Di people on the left and right wings were exposed.
The sinking sand breaks through the water, and it strikes halfway across the river.
Han Xin once used this strategy to defeat the dragon in Weishui and the 200,000 Qi and Chu allied troops, cutting off the arm of the overlord Xiang Yu.
Although Xu Shui is shallow, it is at least a line of defense. As long as a group of people and horses are deployed along the river, the Black Cloud Army will have to pay a certain price if they want to go ashore.
However, the Qiang Di on the left and right sides were indifferent.
As a result, the Heiyun Army quickly came ashore and settled in the east of the river.
The more than one hundred cattle were also driven across the river.
"Welcome King Yan!" The soldiers shouted more and more excitedly.
Rockets streaked across the dark twilight sky and landed in the green grass, occasionally igniting a few dead shrubs.
The light of the fire swayed in the night wind, illuminating Pu Hong's face.
"The King of Yan has an order, and the general on horseback leads his troops to resist!" Jie Qi, who was riding on horseback, was arrogant.
Although they are all Hu people, they are not superior to each other. The Jie people are Chinese and have the highest status, followed by the Qiang and Xiongnu. The Di people are deeply sinicized and are jealous of Shihu, so their status is only higher than Xianbei and Wuhuan.
"Hmph!" A burly general snorted coldly, pressing his hand on the handle of the knife, his one eye glowing horribly in the dusk.
This son is Fu Sheng, the grandson of Pu Hong and the third son of Pu Jian. He is sixteen years old. He is a powerful martial artist. He has one eye since he was a child. He can lift a thousand swords with strength. He is the best in stabbing, riding and shooting. However, he has a bad temper.
When he was a child, Pu Hong once joked, "I heard a blind man shed tears in one eye. Is that true?"
Pu Sheng, who was only six years old, was so angry that he stabbed his eyes blindly with a sharp knife, causing blood to flow. "Isn't this tears?"
Pu Hong was taken aback and whipped him. Pu Sheng acted like a rogue and said: "I am not afraid of knife stabs by birth, but I can't bear the whip!"
Pu Hong threatened to demote him into a slave, but Pu Sheng said: "Is it as strong as a stone?"
Shi Le worked as a slave in his early years and eventually became an emperor.
At that time, Pu Hong was under Shi Hu's suspicion. He felt that Pu Sheng was wild and rebellious and was the son of a broken family, so he had murderous intentions.
In the end, it was Pu Xiong's persuasion that saved his life.
At the age of twelve, he showed his extraordinary strength and was brave and good at fighting.
When Najie Qi saw Pu Sheng, his heart trembled, and his voice became much softer, "King Yan asked the general to go out to fight, and he must stop the rebel army."
"Does King Yan have to exhaust all our troops before he can get what he wants?" Pu Sheng shouted sharply.
Jie's horse stood up when the man frightened him, retreated continuously, and kept neighing.
"You..." The man was also frightened and turned pale.
"Stop." Pu Hong scolded lightly, "Back off."
"Hmph! If you obey orders, you will die. If you disobey orders, you will die. How about..." The dim light in Pu Sheng's single eye became more and more intense.
Liang Du's Gaoli Imperial Guard was originally an elite Jie people, but now that he was put down, Jie Zhao only had a handful of fighting soldiers, some of them were in the hands of Ma Qiu of Jincheng, and some of them were in the hands of Deng Heng of Jicheng, leaving Yecheng empty.
As soon as these words came out, Pu Fa, Pu Luo, Pu Huangmei and others behind them all had bright eyes.
"Back off!" Pu Hong's voice was stern.
Pu Sheng reluctantly stepped back.
Pu Hong cupped his hands and said to Jie Qi: "Please report back to King Yan, Hong will take the order!"
Jie Qi didn't dare to say a word and ran away.
"Sir, do you really want to fight a bloody battle with the Black Cloud Army?" Pu Xiong stepped forward, looking at the east bank, his eyebrows slightly wrinkled.
In the twilight firelight, the Black Cloud Army had already formed a formation and set up a posture. From a distance of two to three hundred steps, one could still feel their fierce flames and their evil aura hitting their faces.
"Why a bloody battle?" Pu Hong looked calm and calm...
Li Yue crossed Xushui surrounded by his personal guards, and after crossing the river, he felt even more determined.
If you don't win, you will die!
However, all the Heiyun troops crossed the river, but no one came to attack.
Shi Bin retreated far away, Yao Yizhong's Qiang cavalry was cruising in the north, like thousands of wild wolves waiting for an opportunity, and Pu Hong's infantry stood firm in the south.
"Courageless thief!" Wei Shan yelled at Shi Binjun.
Although the morale of the Black Cloud Army is high, Li Yue has not been carried away yet.
Crossing the river is almost the limit. Now Yao Yizhong is cruising, Pu Hong is holding on, and Shi Bin is watching five hundred steps east.
The only one who can beat him is Pu Hong.
With the current morale and strength of the Black Cloud Army, without foreign aid, Li Yue is 60% sure of defeating Pu Hong, but he will have to pay some price.
But even if Pu Hong is defeated, there will be no benefit unless the Pu family is brought to an end, but the difficulty is too great, and it is impossible for all the Pu family members to be here.
If they lose the battle, the Black Cloud Army's flaming morale and reputation will suffer a blow.
If both sides suffer losses, it is more in line with Shi Hu and Shi Bin's wishes.
After crossing the river, I didn't expect it to be like this...
"What are you waiting for? Kill Lao Qiang first and then Shi Bin, the cowardless rat!" Wei Shan said loudly.
It's not that Pu Hong was forgotten by him, but he subconsciously thought that Pu Hong was not easy to fight.
Li Yue looked to the north. Xu Cheng's Black Cloud Cavalry had appeared, but could not find an opportunity to attack. Yao Yizhong led the Qiang Cavalry to rush back and forth, never leaving without fighting, like a seasoned hunter.
Shi Bin in the east was like a frightened bird, afraid that if he moved, they would flee.
Not to mention, although Shi Bin was not good at fighting, he had a good way of running away. He was able to maintain his position with nearly 10,000 steps without collapsing.
When he fought with Liang Du, he was originally blocking the front, but he rushed to the rear and pushed Pu Hong to the front...
"Don't be impatient. We haven't brought any food and grass. If we can't catch up with them, we will be tempted to go deeper. It's not advisable." Li Yue secretly said it was a pity.
Now the morale of the Black Cloud Army has reached its peak, but it has been cut down with one sword.
Next, morale dropped from the top.
The Guangzong begging soldiers who were dragged across the river were not in high spirits. If Bo Wu and Chen Duan had not led their troops to supervise the battle behind them, some of them might have escaped long ago.
"What a pity!" Wei Shan smashed the mace in his hand on the ground.
"Our army's goal has been achieved, which is not a pity. Can we really defeat Shi Bin, Yao Yizhong, and Pu Hong with this battle?"
They are all turtles that have been tortoises for thousands of years and turtles for thousands of years. The Black Cloud Army scared Shi Bin, but it did not scare Yao Yizhong and Pu Hong. At most, it made them fearful and did not dare to take action.
Crossing the river was originally just a show of strength and intimidation.
Now that Shi Bin has retreated, will he still have the guts to enter Xingyang?
"Then just retreat like this?" Wei Shan said.
Yao Yizhong did not retreat, Pu Hong did not retreat, Shi Bin watched from a distance, whoever left first would be exposed.
"Of course we can't retreat like this. Send an order to the entire army to be silent!"
Li Yue's move has been made, now it depends on the opponent's move.
Whether it's military blackmail or intimidation, there will always be someone to take the bait.
War cannot be fought, but games are indispensable.
If Li Yue refused to retreat, Shi Bin, Yao Yizhong, and Pu Hong could not retreat.
The fires on both sides of the strait gradually extinguished, and night enveloped the earth. The black cloud army just disappeared into the night, with only the occasional sounds of cattle, mules, horses, camels and other livestock.
It was completely different from the boiling sky just now. In the silence, the murderous aura became more and more intense.
Invading like fire, motionless like a mountain, unpredictable like shadow, moving like thunder!
