General Yan was very angry. Needless to say, the consequences were quite serious. No, early in the morning, as soon as the sun dawned, tens of thousands of troops were already deployed along the river, with rafts spread all over the ground in front of the neat queue. , at least three hundred in number, at the center of the army, dozens of large drums were lined up in a row, with flags fluttering, murderous aura rising up like a rainbow piercing the sun, making people look intimidating.
"attack!"
With an army ten times heavier than the enemy's, Yan Liang was too lazy to waste time on pre-battle mobilization. After forming the formation, he raised his hand and issued a general order in a cold voice, and immediately listened. While the drums of the central army were rumbling and violent, more than 3,000 pioneer infantry soldiers shouted chants in unison, lifted up the raft and rushed into the river, rowing hard to the other bank.
"Zilong, the bandit army has moved!"
The Bohai Navy is not an elite force. In terms of actual combat effectiveness, it is at the bottom of the original Youzhou Army system. Even though it had just won a big victory a few days ago, it successfully blocked Yan Liang yesterday. The cavalry's bridge-grabbing attack boosted the morale of the army a lot, but as far as the quality of the army itself was concerned, there was no fundamental change. At this time, seeing such a large-scale forced crossing operation by the Yizhou Army, there was a sudden commotion. , even the deputy general Lu Tao couldn't help but exclaimed.
"It's okay. Pass on the order. Anyone who has a bow will take it out and obey the general's order."
Seeing that his soldiers showed timidity before fighting, Zhao Yun couldn't help but frown slightly, but he did not scold him, but issued the general order with a calm expression.
Although the combat effectiveness of the Bohai Navy is only average, the equipment is quite good. Except for the archers, all the cavalry are actually equipped with bows and arrows. As Zhao Yun gave the order, the sound of clattering suddenly became loud. , there is no sense of neatness at all, and the lack of training is evident from this.
Although there is a big character in the name of Daqing River, it is actually just a small river. Even though it is the beginning of summer and the water is strong, it can only take more than a hundred steps. Previously, the Yizhou Army fought hard as soon as the water came into the water. After a few strokes, they arrived near the middle of the river. Even though the Bohai Navy did not form a formation along the river and were still about thirty steps away from the river bank, the distance between the two armies was only about eighty steps. At such a small distance, , the Bohai Navy officers taking their bows one after another could not be concealed from the observation of Yan Ming, the vanguard general of the Yizhou Army.
“Stand up!”
Yan Ming, Yan Liang's cousin, although his martial prowess is far inferior to that of his brother, he is victorious because he dares to fight and fights hard. He has always acted as a vanguard under Yan Liang's tent. With such rich combat experience, how can he just sit back and wait for death? Upon hearing his order, the soldiers on the more than 300 rafts immediately acted upon the order. Three large shields stood up, forming a simple shield wall. Although it was far from perfect, it was enough to cover the madness behind it. Most of the soldiers rowed.
"Raise the bow, aim at a distance of sixty steps, and shoot!"
Closer, closer. Under the frantic paddling of the Yizhou Army officers, the raft at the front quickly crossed the middle stream, and was only about twenty steps away from the shore. At this distance, everyone had already crossed the middle stream. The heavy breathing of the Yizhou Army officers and soldiers could be clearly heard, and the Bohai Navy array inevitably started a slight commotion. But at this moment, Zhao Yun suddenly raised his hand and drank with enough energy. A voice.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Although the Bohai Navy was lacking in training standards, it was still more than capable of blind shooting without aiming at a specific target. Following Zhao Yun's order, the 500 infantry archers and 1,000 cavalry were released almost at the same time. He tightened his fingers on the string, but when he heard the roar of arrows, 1,500 eagle-feathered arrows roared into the sky, densely packed like locusts, and covered the Yizhou Army's raft formation.
"Don't mess around, paddle, paddle quickly, charge forward!"
Although most of the Bohai Navy's arrow rain was blind shooting, it could not withstand the high density and the missiles. The shield formation formed by the Yizhou Army's shield soldiers could not only protect themselves, but could not protect their comrades paddling behind. Provided too much cover, in just a moment, dozens of Yizhou Army soldiers fell into the river howling miserably. When he saw this, Yan Ming immediately became anxious, but there was nothing he could do. The troops roared and continued to charge forward. Not to mention, the training level of the Yizhou Army was far higher than that of the Bohai Navy. Although the rhythm was disrupted by such a rain of arrows, they were not slow to adjust and soon they were back again. Sprinted towards the shore.
"Hold your bow and withdraw!"
Yan Ming was trying his best, but Zhao Yun had no intention of staying and fighting an anti-landing battle with him. Before the rain of arrows subsided, he followed Zhao Yun's order and led his troops to evacuate to the southwest.
"Damn it, you damn thief, hurry up, send a signal, hurry up and send a signal!"
Zhao Yun led his troops away like this. Yan Liang, who was standing on the other side of the river supervising the formation, was dumbfounded. He had secretly sent two troops to cross the Daqing River from the upper and lower reaches last night. He could have defeated him in one fell swoop. Zhao Yun's troops did not need to launch a frontal crossing at all. The reason for doing so was simply to use Yan Ming's troops to hold Zhao Yun down, and then the two wings of troops would attack together to completely strangle Zhao Yun's troops on the river bank. , everything was ready now, but unexpectedly Zhao Yun suddenly stopped playing. This is how Yan Liang could swallow such a bad breath, but after seeing him stunned for a moment, he quickly woke up and went into a rage. Roared.
"Woo, woo, woo..."
With Yan Liang's command, the violent drumming suddenly stopped and was replaced by the shrill sound of horns. Immediately, he saw a group of soldiers and horses rushing out of a forest three miles upstream, roaring wildly, headed by One of the generals was none other than Ning Guo Zhonglang General Lu Xiang. At the same time, from a reed swamp less than a mile downstream, an infantry force of three thousand rushed out. In the lead, a general leaped on his horse and crossed his spear. , sprinting at high speed, this person is none other than General Pi Lu Kuang.
Although the two ambush troops rushed out of the ambush as soon as the horn sounded, Zhao Yun's troops had already withdrawn first. Although the two troops rushed very fast, they still failed to encircle Zhao Yun's troops in time. As for Yan Ming's troops, The troops are still rushing to board the shore at the moment, and there is no way they can catch up with the Bohai Navy who are rushing away with their heads down.
"Order all ministries to pursue quickly and stop Zhao Yun'er!"
Seeing that his carefully planned strategy to defeat the enemy had just come to nothing, Yan Liangdang was so angry that he didn't care whether the Bohai Navy had an ambush, and roared like thunder before giving the order to pursue. , and soon, the drums of the Chinese Army rang loudly again, and the three Yizhou armies joined forces to pursue Zhao Yun's troops crazily. The two armies were separated by the land of Li Xu, One after another, they were running at high speed on the plains, with smoke and dust billowing, and evil spirits rising like rainbows through the sun...
