Zhuge Jin's goal is naturally to eat more than 20,000 people who want to eat Niu Jin in one breath, and hurt his ten fingers, it is better to cut off one of his fingers, if he can completely annihilate the 20,000 people of the Wei army, then the Wu army will be a complete victory, and the battle of Shiting that year, known as the glorious battle, the Wu army is only beheaded by 10,000 people.

Eating the 20,000 people of the Wei army was tantamount to a heavy blow to Sima Yi, so that he didn't dare to cross the river to the south easily.

Of course, if you want to eat the more than 20,000 people of the Wei army, the first thing is to cut off the four pontoon bridges, and only by sealing the retreat of the Wei army, these 20,000 people are the turtles in the urn, and it is impossible to escape.

Therefore, the primary goal of the Wu army's attack was to destroy the pontoon bridge, and during the attack, the Wu army launched an all-out onslaught in the direction of the pontoon bridge.

Of course, Niu Jin knew the importance of the pontoon bridge to the Wei army, the pontoon bridge was both a way forward and a retreat, if the pontoon bridge was lost, the Wei army that had already crossed the river would be in a desperate situation, so in the defense, Niu Jin was also desperate to protect the pontoon bridge and prevent the Wu army from approaching the pontoon bridge.

But the Wu army surged up too many troops, one after another, no matter how you kill, you can't kill them all, and the four pontoon bridges are not concentrated together, each pontoon bridge is separated by dozens of zhang, with Niu Jin's little force, it is difficult to hold the four pontoon bridges.

The Wu army's attack became stronger and stronger, and the Wei army was difficult to resist, and the easternmost pontoon bridge was lost first, and the Wu army rushed to the pontoon bridge excitedly, cut the thick cable tied to the pontoon bridge, and then set fire on the pontoon bridge, and the raging fire soon engulfed the pontoon bridge.

The Wei soldiers on the pontoon bridge, who were still moving forward, hurriedly fled backwards, but the pontoon bridge, which had lost its connection, had completely collapsed and was washed away by the turbulent river, and the Wei soldiers on the bridge lost their balance and fell into the water one after another.

The vast majority of the Wei army are northerners, all are landlubbers, there are few people who are familiar with the nature of the water, this fall into the water, most of the people are tossing in the water and shouting for help, but unfortunately the Huai River water is rapid and turbulent, the water depth is bottomless, and most of the Wei soldiers who fell into the water were swept away by the flood.

Although the Wei army still had some boats between the pontoon bridges to be rescued, there were too many people who fell into the water, the number of rescue boats was limited, and the people who fell into the water were widely distributed, and in the end only a small number of people were rescued, and most of the people who fell into the water were killed.

Sima Shi looked at the other side, his face was pale, and he said anxiously to Sima Yi: "Father, the pontoon bridge cannot be lost, if it is all destroyed, then the army crossing the river will have no way to retreat." ”

Sima Yi's expression was calm, and he ordered: "Mingjin, retreat!" ”

When Niu Jin heard Ming Jin in front, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, he marched when he heard the drums, and retreated when he heard the gold, which was the minimum discipline of the army, and before he received the order to retreat, Niu Jin couldn't take a step back even if he fought to the end.

As a soldier, Niu Jin is not afraid of death, but watching the robes around him fall one by one, he still has a heartache, this is a battle with no victory in sight, even if he persists, it can only make more people die.

But the military order was like a mountain, and the upper peak did not let them retreat, and none of them could take half a step back, only to fight to the death.

The loss of a pontoon bridge, so that Niu Jin and others have a trace of despair in their hearts, these four pontoon bridges are like a bridge connecting their lives, the loss of a pontoon bridge, is equivalent to the loss of a glimmer of hope, according to the current offensive and defensive situation of the two sides, the loss of the four pontoon bridges is only a matter of time.

Once all four pontoon bridges are lost, then the Wei army that has already crossed the river will be in a desperate situation, and there will be no hope of survival at all.

Trapped in the Jedi, retaining the last glimmer of hope but never hearing the sound of retreating troops, this desperate mood began to spread among the Wei army, like a plague, infecting everyone, so that the fighting spirit of the Wei army appeared to be relaxed.

Fortunately, the voice of Ming Jin appeared in time, Niu Jin took a deep breath and shouted: "After a certain break, wait for the quick retreat!" ”

Those Wei soldiers, who had already been in despair, rushed towards the three pontoon bridges as if they had seen the dawn of life.

In fact, at this time, the Wei army was the most difficult time, under the pressure of the Wu army step by step, the Wei army was already tending to collapse, and once it began to retreat at this time, it was a rhythm that was completely about to collapse.

Each of the three pontoon bridges can only allow a column to pass, and thousands of troops and horses huddle together to cross the single-plank bridge, and face the pursuit of the Wu army, which is definitely a nightmare within a nightmare.

At this time, if there was no general like Niu Jin to step forward, the heavy losses suffered by the Wei army would only be worse.

Niu Jinjiu is good at fighting, and naturally knows the difficult situation that the Wei army is currently facing, if the Wei soldiers want to withdraw quickly and leave this place of right and wrong, then the result is that no one can leave.

At the critical moment, someone had to come forward, Niu Jin stood up without hesitation, led a group of death squads, rushed forward to start a bloody battle with the Wu army, and covered the retreat of the large army.

It's almost a life-or-death thing, but if no one does it, it's bound to be lifeless.

Niu Jin, as the supreme general of the front line, did not take the initiative to retreat at this time, but came to the rear without hesitation, which was enough to show his high demeanor.

Wu Jun heard the sound of the Wei army's retreat, and did not reduce the intensity of the pursuit at all, but pursued and killed even harder, the heads in front of them, but their hope of advancing to the award, if they escaped, wouldn't it be in vain to wait for a long time.

So seeing that the Wei army was about to escape, these Wu soldiers were all unwilling, and rushed forward with all their might, trying to catch a handful at the last moment.

Niu Jin led his troops to continue to hold on, blocking the attack of the Wu army, as if to prove to the world that with his Niu Jin, it would be an insurmountable barrier for the enemy.

He hissed and roared, the big knife in his hand danced like snowflakes, impervious to wind and rain, and those Wu soldiers who tried to rush up were cut off by him mercilessly, Niu Jin was covered in blood, and even his eyes turned bloody black.

Seeing this, Zhuge Jin couldn't help nodding secretly, among the Wei army, there are still such fierce generals who are not afraid of death, and they stubbornly blocked the Wu soldiers who came like a tide with their own strength, and they were really fierce.

Zhuge Jin ordered to stop the pursuit and let the remnants of the Wei army withdraw from the battlefield.

Niu Jin finally picked up a life and came back, when the Wei army had almost evacuated, he still guarded the last and slowly retreated.
