The sound of impact hit everyone's hearts like a heavy hammer, and even the loud shouts of killing from both sides of the Taiwan Strait were stagnated. Under the violent impacts that followed, the newly built pontoon bridge at the upper reaches was stretched in the other direction, but in the end it was still unable to withstand the successive impacts, and even the overwhelmed "shenyin" did not have time to utter. , collapsed instantly.
The soldiers on the bridge fell into the rolling waves like dumplings, and the situation was extremely chaotic.
Being blocked by several ships in front, the speed of the second echelon rushing to the ship was slightly slowed down, but the momentum of advancement was unstoppable, like a slowly collapsing building, squeezing each other and pressing towards the second pontoon bridge.
In the face of inevitable disaster, no one can remain calm. On the second pontoon bridge, the Jiangdong Army who had not had time to cross the pontoon bridge or retreat to the south bank were horrified. They pushed each other and screamed miserably, trying to avoid the fate of death. However, the dark ship was still moving along the current, slowly. The ground crashed towards them.
The soldiers in the front tried their best to move back, but the soldiers in the rear were too late to make enough room for them. Countless people fell into the water before the pontoon was hit. They watched helplessly as the huge hull rolled towards them, but they had nowhere to go. escape.
"All this happened in a blink of an eye, but to the people on the shore, it felt like thousands of years had passed by.
The second pontoon collapsed, but it still could not stop the enemy ship. The current of the Yellow River is so turbulent that even a piece of wood washed down on the water has an impact that can kill people, let alone a warship that deliberately rushes to hit people?
The fleet, which had been huddled together, rushed unstoppably towards the third pontoon
In the midst of a disaster that was beyond human control, some people refused to accept their fate. At the moment before the ship bridge collided, dozens of figures leaped into the air, like giant rocs spreading their wings. Jump straight to the deck.
The leader is none other than Sun Ce!
The bright red cloak was like outstretched wings, hunting and fluttering in the wind. The blades on the halberd were like sharp teeth and sharp beaks, like flies swooping at prey in the air. Sun Ce concentrated all his anger in this swoop, The target was Gan Ning, who had just landed back on the deck and was still a little staggering.
this moment. Sun Ce's murderous intent against Gan Ning was greater than Wang Yu's.
Yunmeng Zebu¡¯s suspicion formation, Niuzhu¡¯s verbal spat, and today¡¯s incident most of the achievements made by the opponent since he became famous were accomplished by stepping on Jiang Dongjun.
The iron rope failed to complete its role of blocking the enemy, and most of the plan to board the ship and seize it failed. It's not difficult to jump off the ship, but what's difficult is jumping onto the ship that's rushing towards you.
There was no need to look back at Sun Ce to know that only the most elite hundred or so people could successfully board the ship. Although the ship's loading capacity was limited and there would not be many sailors on board, the difference in strength was still too great.
From a more practical point of view, if Gan Ning cannot be solved as soon as possible. Sun Ce himself may not even get a chance to perform.
To tell the truth, he was unwilling to admit it, but the facts proved that Gan Ning's martial arts skills were no worse than his, and his adaptability in water fighting was equally great. If he wanted to tell the difference, he would have to fight three to five hundred Lily. At this time, the battle situation is urgent and it is time to race against time. How could he have time to challenge Gan Ning to a duel?
The best way is to take advantage of the moment when the opponent's old strength has been exhausted and the new strength has not yet been generated, and kill him with a round of mad attacks!
"Xingba, be careful!" Pei Yuanshao watched helplessly as Sun Ce rushed towards him from the air. He felt the strong wind hitting his face and his whole body froze. He had no way to lend a helping hand and could only shout a warning.
"I came just in time. I don't have to look for you!" When he raised his head suddenly, the strong wind brought by the halberd cut into his face like a sharp blade, causing a dull pain, but Gan Ning was not surprised but overjoyed. With a loud shout, he raised his knife and struck back, then pounced.
"when!"
The sound of the collision of gold and iron made by the two fierce men colliding with all their strength was like thunder, and even the sound of the collision of the battleship and the pontoon was suppressed.
Sun Ce rolled in the air and almost landed outside the deck. His steps were still staggering when he landed. He was obviously shaken by the force of the counterattack. Gan Ning hurriedly responded and was injured more seriously. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and even the machete in his hand was broken into two pieces.
Neither of them cared, they just stared at each other, the fierce fighting spirit in their eyes burning like a burning fire.
Sun Ce raised the halberd in his hand and pointed it at Gan Ning; Gan Ning wiped it on the corner of his mouth, took out two short halberds from behind, knocked each other on the chest, making a crisp sound, and then he smiled nonchalantly. , said: "Come again!"
"Hmph!" Sun Ce snorted angrily, and his momentum instantly increased to the extreme. He followed the halberd, and the halberd turned into a swimming dragon. It moved forward like lightning, and swept towards Gan Ning with murderous intent.
Gan Ning showed no sign of weakness and raised his halberds to greet him.
"Dang! Dang! Dang" The sound of gold and iron clashing was endless, and it was hard to distinguish the figures of the two people. All that could be seen was the cold light brought by the halberd blade.
Both of their martial arts skills were among the strongest in the world, and for a while they were evenly matched.
Fortunately for Sun Ce, there were terrain restrictions on the ship, making it difficult to launch a siege. He and the hundreds of dead men who boarded the ship with him could maintain it for a while, but the situation on the north bank had completely reversed.
The Qingzhou militiamen who had just been beaten and retreated suddenly gained courage and launched a counterattack against Jiangdong Army with shouts.
In the distant woods, behind the mounds, tens of millions of ambushes and reinforcements emerged. They raised their spears like a forest, and threw their arrows into the air for free, and then fell like hailstones. The huge military formation that could not be seen to the end was like a huge wave, and it was about to engulf the Jiangdong Army that had crossed the river.
In the previous battle, Chen Dao had spared his strength. On the one hand, it is to lure the enemy, and more importantly, defensive operations cannot be carried out with all-out efforts from the beginning. Reserves must be left to prevent accidents from happening.
Now that the pontoon bridge has been broken, the navy sneaking back to rescue has taken control of the waterway. It is the best time to launch a comprehensive counterattack. Naturally, there is no need to make any reservations. The only way to eliminate the remaining enemies on the north bank as soon as possible and to frighten the enemy forces on the south bank.
The Jiangdong Army, whose retreat route was cut off, was already restless and was not mentally prepared for the Qingzhou Army's counterattack. The battle line was pushed back more than ten steps. The position on the beach was not spacious to begin with, and there were so many people crowded in. This retreat immediately left no room for maneuver.
The huddled Jiangdong Army became a living target and suffered heavy casualties under the saturation coverage shooting launched by the Qingzhou Army.
First of all, the most important thing for the troops crossing the river is speed, and their degree of armament is limited. A small number of heavily armored troops are fighting with the enemy in front of the formation, and the ones behind are all light armored troops.
Qingzhou¡¯s archers are mainly militiamen, and their archery skills and coordination are only unsatisfactory, but at this time, there is no need for sharp archers. As long as you have the ability to draw the bow and throw the arrows, it is enough.
The dense rain of arrows covered the sky and blocked out the sun. Every time it rose or fell, it would stir up pieces of blood mist on the river beach.
The river is red again!
The tragic scene made the sun unable to bear to look any longer. He pulled a cloud over and covered his face, not wanting to emit more heat. Provoking more killings.
However, once a war starts, it will not be changed by the will of any existence. The only thing that can end it is victory or defeat!
South Bank. Zhu Huan no longer cared about worrying about his lord and his lords. The enemy general Zhang Liao had already killed him.
Zhang Liao held a spear eight feet long and attacked the Jiangdong army formation. Behind him was an arrow formation composed of hundreds of spearmen and more than a thousand sword and shield men. They threw away the large army behind them and rushed forward quickly. .
This is a standard attack array. Zhang Liao wanted to use a fierce attack to stop Zhu Huan and prevent him from taking any action that would affect the friendly forces on the north bank and the river.
The first wave of offensive only needs to last for half a stick of incense, and the Qingzhou soldiers who have been killed one after another can calmly set up the second and third military formations. As long as the offensive continues and the battle on the north bank and on the river is decided, the Jiangdong Army on the south bank will have no choice but to be defeated.
There were not many soldiers and horses accompanying him to come back for reinforcements. There were only more than 5,000 soldiers, but they were all veterans of the Yulin Army who had fought for many years. Combat experience and fighting ability are beyond the comparison of ordinary armies. The armor and weapons equipped are also extremely sophisticated.
In a moment, Zhang Liao had stabbed four enemy generals one after another. This kind of killing efficiency can attract hatred. A leader of the Shanyue Tribe rushed over on horseback, waving an iron caltrop in his hand like a windmill. Looking at the posture, it seemed as if he was going to knock Zhang Liao away.
Zhang Liao was calm and unhurried. At the moment when the two men were approaching, he suddenly crouched down, the tip of the spear forward, and the tail of the spear touching the ground. The Shanyue general was unable to stop his attack in time and hit the tip of the spear heavily.
"Poof!" The war horse didn't even have time to neigh. It died tragically in an instant, and the spear broke into two pieces. Then, the rider was thrown into the air by the huge inertia, and fell to Zhang Liao's feet like a broken bag.
Before the Shanyue general, who was beaten to pieces, could get up from the ground, Zhang Liao had already pulled out his sword, slashed his head, pulled his hair into his hand, and raised it high.
"Being a feather for the country" With the power of killing generals, Zhang Liao looked up to the sky and roared.
"As prosperous as a forest!" the soldiers responded in unison, strode forward, and advanced a few steps deeper into the enemy's formation.
"Follow Heaven to seek rebellion"
"Invincible!"
Zhang Liao used the enemy's head as a hidden weapon and threw it. He hooked his toes at the same time and actually kicked up the tribulus bones weighing more than 40 kilograms.Then he grabbed the handle of the hammer with one hand, holding the knife in one hand and the caltrop bone in the other, slashing and smashing and stepping into the enemy's line again.
Several Jiangdong Army warriors tried to besiege him, but they were intercepted by the soldiers behind Zhang Liao. More than ten spears were stabbed hard, and they all turned into bloody gourds. After a few breaths, the cone-shaped array penetrated more than thirty steps into the Jiangdong Army's formation, and squeezed out a large hole more than ten feet wide.
Strong soldiers and brave generals cannot be easily stopped, let alone the Jiangdong Army who was attacked from three sides. The Jiangdong Army on the front of the conical formation retreated one after another, and some soldiers, led by Liu Bei, tried to outflank the enemy and go behind the enemy. It turned out that the troops coming from the east had formed a long column, and people kept rushing to the battlefield, and then automatically added them behind the cone formation, leaving him unable to start.
"Lord, what should I do?" Although it was Liao Hua's first time to participate in such a large-scale battle, he also saw that the situation was very bad. Not to mention that the troops on the south bank could win quickly, it was still unclear whether they could withstand the enemy's fierce attack. He immediately panicked and looked at Liu Bei, hoping that the other party could point him out a clear path.
Liu Bei was silent for a moment and suddenly sighed: "The matter has come to this, even if Bai Qi is reincarnated and Sun Wu is resurrected, he will not be able to turn defeat into victory"
"what do you mean¡¡"
"If you hide your courage, you may not be able to make a comeback!" Liu Bei sighed again and turned around.
Liao Hua was confused and dumbfounded. He didn't know what mystery his lord was up to. It wasn't until Jian Yong pulled him that he came back to his senses.
"Yuanjian, what are you still doing? Follow up!"
"Huh? Brother Xianhe, where are we going?"
"Alas, do you still need me to say it clearly? The battle has been lost, why don't we all have to die together? Only by keeping the green mountains alive can we have a future, right?"
Looking at the back of Liu Bei walking away, and then looking back at the Jiangdong generals who were fighting desperately, Liao Hua felt confused.
He accepted Liu Bei's recruitment because he had heard of the other party's reputation and admired his spirit of never getting discouraged despite repeated defeats. However, if Liu Bei's comeback is like this every time, and if he sees that the situation is not good, he leaves early, then
Liao Hua was thinking for the first time, whether he had made the wrong choice?
