By then, it was already dark.

The sky is full of stars, the fires on both sides of the Qingtong River are flickering, from here to Tongling City more than ten miles of the river, there is a bunch of bonfires and several people on duty every hundred steps, this is Chang Yu in order to prevent the thief army from the waterway to the rear of the sudden sneak attack.

The logistics men and horses have withdrawn all the wounded soldiers on the battlefield to Tongling City, and are filling in the pits and building roads to ensure the smooth road from the front line to the city, Wu Weiying's Shenji Battalion has all arrived at the river bank and is wiping guns and cannons, while Wang Zamao's more than 300 people are sharpening their knives and preparing to cross the water to fight.

These more than 300 soldiers are all Wang Zamao's cronies, and they are also the only hole cards in his hand now, just more than an hour ago, these people also participated in the outflanking war behind the enemy, and then were outflanked and jumped into the river to escape, at this time Wang Zamao gathered together, ready to do another vote!

What are we doing to the court, glory and wealth! But this glory and wealth can not be obtained in vain, you have to have military merits, at the moment we have nothing but the shot we took in the battle just now, but the little war merit just now depends on whether the little eunuch nods, Wang Zamao is doing pre-war mobilization, and now it is like this, let's let it go, success or failure is in one fell swoop! After the fight, it is our brothers who eat and drink spicy food, and if you can't get by, you can only obediently run errands under the king's body! Brothers, in the future, whether you want to be an uncle and call others, or if you want to be called, it depends on the battle in front of you!

"Be an uncle!" More than 300 people roared angrily, breaking the night sky, causing the officers and soldiers of other departments to look sideways, and then they felt ridiculous!

Especially Wang Tizhong, he looked over there and sneered in his heart, being an uncle? Let's save your life first. turned back to his subordinates and shouted: "My king has always said and believed in the word, and when I took you to surrender, I said that I will do it if I share weal and woe, and I will go with you in this war, and the rewards you receive after the war will be divided into brothers, and it will be the same in the future, if you break your word, you should be like this" After speaking, he drew his knife and clicked to see the thick tree with the thick mouth of the bowl next to him: "Brothers, kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!" ”

"Kill the enemy and make a contribution!" The roar of 3,000 people really resounded in the sky, the birds in the mountains and forests miles away were frightened, the thieves hiding in it trembled with fright, and the morale of Wang Yien's troops on the other side became more and more depressed when they heard the sound.

There is also a group of men and horses are also doing pre-war mobilization, this is more than 1,000 Nanjing soldiers led by Jin Shenghuan, responsible for attacking the west flank from the Qingtong River estuary, recently all Nanjing soldiers participating in the war must be led by Jin Shenghuan, this is also a helpless thing, first, he is Lu Daqi's old acquaintance who values it, and secondly, the Nanjing soldiers from the general to the soldiers are mostly rookies with no actual combat experience, at this time Jin Shenghuan has to work hard.

"The nonsense will not be said more, each of them will touch the crotch of their pants to see if there are eggs, if there is, look at those people in Dongchang, look at those border troops, and then look at those surrendered troops! Then ask yourself if you are still a gentleman, can you still straighten up and be a Ming soldier instead of being worthless for others! Jin Shenghuan shouted loudly with a mocking face.

"It's a gentleman, it's a Ming soldier!" To tell the truth, these Nanjing soldiers have been subjected to white eyes and ridicule recently, and they have not lost a few points in battle, but have been ridiculed and ridiculed by all kinds of ridicule, even the clay people have become angry.

It's just that these thousands of people roared, but the other departments were stunned, and then laughed, but it aroused the anger of the Nanjing soldiers even more, Jin Shenghuan sneered: "See, if you want to get the respect of others, no matter how loud the slogan is, only strength can win respect!" Now is the time for you to prove yourself, I don't expect you to be the first to break through the thief army's defenses, but don't hold back, don't be at the bottom! ”

The Qingtong River is about 30 meters wide, the water surface is more than 10 meters wide, the water depth is unknown, it is not a big river, but it is the first important line of defense used by the thief army to protect itself, and it can even be said to be a lifeline, because if the officers and soldiers break through, they can only flee to Chizhou in embarrassment, and the side is not fully prepared to meet the battle in a hurry, there are only two ends, either directly defeated by the officers and soldiers to flee from Chizhou, or the officers and soldiers are beaten into the city and surrounded by the deep ocean and become a lonely city, if there is no foreign aid to save the end is self-evident.

Therefore, Wang Yien's army of three thousand thieves must buy time for Bai Wang, three days!

Defend this river no matter what!

However, the reality is cruel, the thief army was defeated by the officers and soldiers before, lost their armor and fled, many people even threw away their weapons, or lacked bows and arrows, and there was no war horse, so they could only rely on the flesh and blood of 3,000 people to resist the attack of the officers and soldiers, but the newly defeated soldiers were tired and hungry, and the morale was low to the valley.

But even in this situation, the two armies fought with their strength, even if they were all killed, Wang Yien also admitted it, but it was impossible for the officers and soldiers to give him this fair chance, not only did they have enough bows and arrows, but they also had artillery!

How does this work!!

With fists, with knives, with flesh and blood, of course! Wang Yien is a stubborn man, he will fight to the end if he doesn't want to surrender, he is a bloodthirsty person, so the more tragic the battle, the more excited he is.

"As long as the officers and soldiers are killed, we will have no way to retreat and will definitely die, even surrender is useless, you all know that the officers and soldiers do not accept surrender and do not leave prisoners, simply tell you, in this battle, either they die or we die!" Wang Yien didn't say any nonsense, and simply and clearly explained the current situation to the three thousand soldiers under his command, and many people who knew that there was no way back became silent, and some people hugged their heads and sobbed, and some of them were expressionless, just silently touched the knife!

"We don't have cannons, we don't have bows, but we have this river, and although there are many officers and soldiers, it is delusional to want to cross the river, unless we come by stepping on our corpses!" Wang Yien looked at the other side and saw the lights flickering, knowing that the officers and soldiers were deploying troops and might be about to attack, so he ordered his subordinates to enter a state of readiness for battle, pulling out a two-mile battle line from east to west, and then the Yangtze River and lakes on both flanks.

The officers and soldiers on the north bank of the Qingtong River entered the battle position, Wang Zamao's three hundred personal soldiers were the vanguard of the middle road, in fact, they were responsible for attracting the firepower of the thief army, Wang Tizhong was not in the east flank near the lake, Jin Shenghuan was in the west flank of the river, and the three men and horses were waiting for orders twenty steps away from the river bank, this distance did not have to worry about the bow and arrow of the thief army, and there were not many bows and arrows on the opposite side.

Behind the three formations, the artillery and musket team of the Shenji Battalion, as well as hundreds of archers, will be fired in unison by Chang Yu, and thousands of arrows will penetrate the heart to suppress the other party.

But Chang Yu did not call the order, but frowned and watched carefully, but the fire on the opposite bank was too little and the vision was not good, so he had to observe carefully, the thief army obviously in order to avoid the artillery and bows of the officers and soldiers, so the team withdrew from the river bank more than a hundred steps out of the range.

This brainless thing is simply sending me a position, since this is the case, why should I waste ammunition Chang Yu smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth, and he did not give the order to bombard and suppress it first, but ordered all units to attack.

At the sound of an order, Wang Zamao led three hundred soldiers to jump into the river like dumplings, and the steel knife was pinned to his waist or held in his mouth and swam towards the opposite bank, and then thousands of officers and soldiers on both wings also went into the water to kill the generals.

This scene frightened Wang Yien, the officers and soldiers did not need to be shelled but directly crossed the water to kill, this is not good, this is difficult for them to land on the shore and gain a firm foothold and want to fight back, so they shouted that the officers and soldiers must not be allowed to go ashore.

Waiting for you to come over, Chang Yu sneered and said to Wu Weiying: "Master Wu, cultivate the land"

Okay, Wu Weiying laughed and ordered all the artillery of the Shenji Battalion to fire with the archers!
