Watching the battle at the head of the city, the feeling is not profound, but for the Yedi army on the river, it is as bloody and cruel as a nightmare, and it can't even be said to be a battle, it is completely a one-sided massacre.

The two armies had also been fighting across the river for several days, and the attack and defense had been in contact with each other, and it was difficult to judge the victory or defeat. Although the people of Yedi were also amazed by the excellent use of Huainan weapons and the elite soldiers, the gap between them was not so big that it was desperate, and even gave birth to the feeling that the Huainan army was nothing more than that.

A few years ago, in the first battle of Huaishui, the Huainan army defeated the strong with the weak, and broke the strong army of tens of thousands of people in the country. Not long ago, it was a light division that ran far away, and when Yecheng didn't have time to react at all, he directly attacked Jijun and succeeded, surrounded and annihilated 20,000 troops in Tianni, and directly clubbed in the heart of Yedi.

Such a fierce record is enough to leave a huge shadow in the minds of these Hebei soldiers in Yedi. It was as if the Huainan army was so strong that it was difficult to defeat, and the opponents were all defeated and lost.

This kind of psychology is by no means an isolated case, but a universal existence in the hearts of the military and civilians in Yedi. Even when the conscription came to Jijun to prepare for the battle, many Hebei people scattered in a hurry, and the soldiers also delayed as much as possible, even after arriving on the east bank of Fangtou, their morale was very low.

This kind of psychology is similar to the fear of the Jiangdong military and civilians in the early years. Do they really know how strong the Kahu army is? Not really, some people have not even seen the army of the Qianghu with their own eyes, but they feel that the army of the Qianghu is so strong that it is not like a normal person, otherwise how could it be a disaster in the Central Plains and invincible?

And the Huainan Army is now in the minds of the military and civilians in Hebei, almost this kind of image, cowardly before fighting. Psychologically, it has been determined that the Huainan Army is invincible, and it is implemented in action, even if it has to follow military orders to confront the enemy, but in action, it is afraid to advance and does not dare to advance.

But now, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the Huainan Army was just a normal person, although it was very strong, but it was not stronger than their understanding, let alone the miraculous methods propagated in those absurd legends.

Therefore, after a few days of deliberation, the Yedi army decided to fight a big battle, broke through the obstruction of the Huainan army in one fell swoop, went around to the rear of Jijun, and expelled the Huainan army.

However, when they felt that they already knew a lot about the Huainan Army, the reality dealt them a heavy blow. They hadn't even touched the front line of the Huainan Army, the overwhelming rain of arrows was pouring in, and the front formation was fan-shaped, almost covered, and many soldiers were eager to compete for a first place on the deck, and they were knocked down in an instant!

The ultra-long range of the crossbow, as thick as a child's arm, several feet long, pierced through the night and roared, not to mention flesh and blood, even if the hull bulkhead was shot, a huge hole would be pierced in an instant. The burst of wood chips is as powerful as a stray arrow, and once hit or grazed, it will be bleeding in an instant!

The crockpots with large heads were constantly thrown onto the ship, and after the crockpots broke, the slippery ointment flowed all over the cabin, and the soldiers let out a sharp howl but to no avail, and hundreds of flaming rockets were immediately fired, and a large number of soldiers in the front line were worth abandoning the ship and fleeing for their lives, otherwise they would soon be engulfed in smoke and fire!

"Rush forward! There is no danger in rushing through this journey! ”

The Governor's Squadron continued to hear the sound of rapid orders from the ship's boat, and the Nashuo Mansion ship began to accelerate first, relying on its tall hull and stronger strength to crash away the already destroyed and messy ships in front of it, and rushed straight towards Qishui with all its strength.

This section of the waterway was artificially controlled and narrow, and the cofferdam squeezed the river, which was originally repaired by the Qiang Kingdom to better control the waterway, but now this narrow section of the river has become the life and death line of the Yedi army.

The protective equipment of a large building ship is much more comprehensive than that of a small boat, and the effect of both fire attack and arrow attack is very small. But the Huainan army did not intend to let go of this ship, for a time all the bed crossbows and trebuchets were aimed at this one target, after a strong attack, the hull of the ship has gradually become tilted, and the soldiers on the ship are also screaming and running in fear.

The Huainan Army's ship-breaking crossbows are all special crossbow arrows, and there is no sharp edge, but an oval and huge iron fist, this kind of arrow has a short range and poor accuracy, but as long as it is within the range, the huge strength will continue to smash the hull like an iron hammer.

With dozens of stones thrown by trebuchets falling down, the building boat seemed to be completely lost in the leaves in the storm, the gap in the hull was constantly torn apart by chiseling, the river water was rolling into it, and the air pressure in the cabin was also rising, and after a bang, the roaring air wave directly tore the human body into pieces!

When the Huainan army on the shore concentrated on attacking the Lou boats, several enemy ships also took advantage of the gap to rush directly into the Qi water, but this did not help the whole situation. In this chaotic environment, more enemy troops only saw that the huge building ship was destroyed to death, and after the frame of the ship was completely overturned, it stirred up a huge wave that was more than a foot high, and some boats that could not avoid it were overturned.

Then the Huainan army's offensive was spread out again, and several warships had already left the river bay with their soldiers, slowly accelerating and preparing to rush into the already messy enemy formation.

In the chaotic environment, the voices of individuals have long been drowned out by the chaotic sounds, and even if there is a hasty drum order, the enemy soldiers who have been destroyed to the point of almost losing their minds are not recognizable at all. Their only thought was to get out of here as soon as possible, from this bloody killing field!

It was not until the second half of the night, soaked in the river that Guo Shi, whose face was extremely blue, returned to Dongfang City, he held a bright sword, rushed all the way into the camp, and walked in front of Guo Rong before waving his fist and roaring: "But that's it! That's what you're talking about, but that's it? More than 2,000 soldiers, more than 2,000 soldiers, they didn't even touch the corners of the southern thieves, and they all died on the river! ”

With Guo Shi's roar, the water droplets on his body also splashed and sprayed on Guo Rong, Guo Rong just closed his eyes, didn't even dare to raise his hand to cover it, and sighed in his mouth: "I didn't expect ......"

"Didn't expect that? Why didn't you think of that! Unexpectedly, more than 2,000 of my elite soldiers were lost overnight! They have experienced a hundred battles, from Hebei to Guanzhong, each of them is extremely brave, but they were shot by thieves on the river! ”

When Guo Shi heard this, he was even more dumbfounded, and directly waved his knife on Guo Rong's shoulder, and said in a condensed voice: "You have to give me an explanation, otherwise I won't see my uncle back to me, and I will never spare you!" ”

"What do you want to say? Do you think that if you don't win this battle, you will still have a chance to see Father Ji again? ”

Guo Rong sneered when he heard this, and the father of Ji in his mouth was Guo Jing. These two people are actually members of the Guo clan in Taiyuan, but the difference is that Guo Rong's branch is the descendant of Taiyuan Yangqu, while Guo Jing and Guo Shi are Wuxian Shuzong.

Guo Jingnai was the benefactor of Shile, and later joined the beggar army to fight, and gradually became apparent in Shizhao by his own efforts. And Guo Rong's branch, itself a scholar family, was only introduced by Shi Le for his own use after the Liu clan encountered Jin Zhun's rebellion.

Because of the different ways to use and the different statuses, Guo Rong's uncle Guo Yin is only a false position, while Guo Shi's uncle Guo Jing is a heavy general. Although they are the same case, they are actually quite estranged.

"Whether or not you can return to your uncle, Shikan is a fake son, and it is not worth my loyalty! You must be faithful to the false son, but you must not pave the way for the lives of my soldiers! ”

Guo Shi snorted coldly when he heard this.

"I don't do my loyalty to anyone, I only do my work for the family temple! You may not have heard of Langya Wang Yan's cunning rabbit three caves, but you should have heard of Wang's Zhisima partial descendant drinking Jiang! Now that my family is divided into all parties, Xiangguo Cheng Yao is no longer supported, Shi Jilong is about to become the master, even if my family is sheltered, vanity is acceptable, and it is difficult to hold power. If you can work with me, you can wait until you repel the strong enemy in Huainan, and the position of Wang Dun and Wang Dao in the coming day will be divided between you and me! ”

When Guo Rong said this, a hint of decisiveness flashed in his eyes: "The southern thief came from afar, and he couldn't continue to use it, although he blocked it by force today, it couldn't last long." This night's battle, it is indeed my miscalculation, later I will put the rest of the army under your command, and then ask the King of Wei for reinforcements, you have to master it as soon as possible, this is the foundation of my brother's world, there is no need to ask for distant relatives! ”

Guo Shi was stunned when he heard this, although he was a martial artist, but he also knew the deeds of Wang Dun and Wang Daoqi, but he didn't expect Guo Rong to take this as his goal, and even he felt hot for a while, but when he thought of the loss of many elite soldiers tonight, he was still heartbroken, and snorted coldly: "Don't miscalculate next time!" ”

——————

In the early morning, the Huainan Army cleaned up the battlefield. Wang Guang and the others couldn't sleep at night, following and watching all the way, and when they saw the floating corpses on the river, they all secretly smacked their tongues. However, they are not people who do not know soldiers, and they understand that the Huainan army's results are based on huge consumption. And these spent ordnance can by no means be replenished in a short period of time, this kind of glory is at most short-lived.

"This kind of play is really untenable."

After returning to the military tent, Xie Ai did not hide the questions of these generals, and answered directly. Last night's battle did not last long, but the arrows, fire, damaged bows, crossbows, trebuchets, etc., were almost half of the reinforcements used by Henan during this time. In other words, if the Huainan Army continues to use this style of play in the future, it can only last for a while at most.

"But why should Wang Shi pursue long-term? Just a thief and a thief, tens of thousands of old and weak people, how many months will they have to spend here? ”

It's just that soon, Xie Ai laughed again, and said to everyone with a confidant look: "I recovered Ji County earlier, and you all saw it, and I led only more than 4,000 people. I don't hide it from you, the warriors under the governor's mansion are like clouds, there are many famous generals, Xie Ai and others, but the last advance, if it weren't for the battle of Ji County, who knows who Xie Ai is? Now that the governor is on the riverside, there are 100,000 Huainan soldiers, and this time they go north, Shikan is destined to be difficult to eat new rice! ”
