Hefei Hou suffered that fright, and in the second half of the night, he only dared to lie down in his clothes, and finally survived until dawn, and the camp roar everywhere was finally suppressed by bullets, and all the fires on all sides were extinguished. After the battalion officer's count, the casualties of the soldiers were not very heavy, but some of them had escaped, and they should be able to return to the camp by themselves soon, but most of the grain, grass and ordnance were burned by the camp fire, and this could not be made up for a while.

In the case of Wang Ling's secret destruction, the fire seemed to have eyes, burning all the pontoon bridges and siege vehicles, adding a lot of difficulty to the next attack. The Marquis of Hefei was so angry that he wanted to scold, but many people were temporarily summoned by him, and he was not too familiar with them, and Xu You, who really threaded the needle, was still in Luoyang City. In order to build confidence for everyone, he must maintain the image of a virtuous king, so he can only swallow all those cursed words in his stomach.

Kan Ze silently counted the losses and said, "The grain and grass are only enough for two days, and we need to transport some more from Yaling." Hefei Hou sighed and said: "Zhou Jing was injured last night and can't participate in the battle for the time being, so let him go to charge grain, it just so happens that Zheng Bao, who guards Yaling, is also his old subordinate, and it is convenient to hand over." ”

After thinking about it, Hefei Hou said again: "That Zhao Yun is extremely vicious, all the generals in the camp are not his opponents, I am thinking about going to He Miao to transfer Yue Xi, what do you think?" Kan Ze was also afraid of last night's incident, and agreed repeatedly.

Since the pontoon bridge was destroyed and a large-scale attack could not be launched, Kan Ze had to have ferries collected along the coast and arrange for craftsmen to remake siege equipment. was busy in a group, and suddenly the leader of Baiyue, Huang Chaojin, Qi Yan, and Baihu, asked the Marquis of Hefei for orders to go on an expedition, willing to cross the river immediately for the front.

Baiyue is the collective name of the southeast Zhuyue, according to legend, it is the Warring States period after the Yue was wiped out by Chu, the descendants of Gou Jian were scattered all over the place, the existing Wu Yue, Dong Ou, Min Yue, Shanyue, Yang Yue and other tribes, the folk customs are fierce and martial, and cast a good weapon, often go out of the mountains to loot, the Han people are deeply suffering.

This time, under Xu You's skillful tongue, the heroes of Baiyue went out of the mountains to help the Marquis of Hefei, wanting to return to the Central Plains by virtue of the dragon and reproduce the glory of their ancestors. They originally came out of the water town, and a small river like Luoshui was naturally not very important, and last night they swarmed up to surround Zhao Yun without success, and they felt that their faces were gloomy, so they shouted to take the lead in revenge.

The Hou of Hefei was also depressed, so he immediately agreed to the request and personally cheered for them. As soon as the drum sounded, thousands of barefoot Baiyue soldiers roared out of the camp gate and rushed towards Luoshui. As soon as they reached the river, the soldiers untied a piece of something like a pig's intestine from their belts, blew it casually, and then pierced it, and it became a simple buoy. The soldiers got this buoyancy and slashed towards the counterpart.

The drum on the opposite side had just started, and Qiu Ming and the others had already greeted them, and they were a little shocked to see such a way of crossing the river. Koji Yi hurriedly commanded his subordinates to step forward to shoot arrows, but there were only 500 people in total, how could he afford to fire 10,000 arrows from the opposite side, and he was suddenly shot and retreated.

Seeing the embarrassed appearance of Lu Yi, the Marquis of Hefei laughed and urged the archers to continue to press forward and clear an undefended open space for the troops crossing the river. Seeing that the Baiyue soldiers were about to land on the shore with a heavy load, Chen Gong ordered Lu Yi to continue to retreat backwards for a distance. Zhou Taiqi said: "Didn't you say that you want to attack halfway?" How did you withdraw from the position? ”

Cheng Yu said: "These soldiers have good water nature, it is difficult to have a great effect in half-crossing, and the bows and arrows on the opposite side are too dense, it is better to retreat for the time being." When they get ashore, the bow and arrow will not be able to cover, and then it will not be our live target? ”

Before the words were finished, the first batch of enemy soldiers had already rushed onto the beach, to Cheng Yu's surprise, these people did not rush forward, but unbuttoned their corsets, took out some pieces of iron from it, and pieced together an object similar to a scale shield in a few strokes, and the edges were sharp, and it seemed that it could also be used as a weapon.

Zhou Tai scolded secretly: "It seems that it is Baiyue people, they often get some strange gadgets like this, which makes people unguardable." With such a shield, it is difficult for a bow and arrow to work. ”

Dian Wei licked his lips: "What kind of gadget is a big thing, the one that can hold my halberd is a good thing." Zhou Tai knew that he was depressed, so he smiled and turned aside.

Soon, Huang Chao and other Baiyue leaders also brought people ashore immediately, but the follow-up troops could not keep up for the time being because they did not find the ferry, so they could only support with bows and arrows from afar. Tian Feng and Fu Zhu's eyes lit up at the same time: "It seems that the enemy army lacks the tools to cross the river, so it is better for us to take a step back and lure the enemy deep to annihilate it." ”

Huang Chao was still sorting out his troops, but when he saw that the other party had retreated for hundreds of steps for no reason, he raised his whip and laughed: "The enemy army is so cowardly, what combat power can it say?" I should wipe this fang in one fell swoop. ”

Yan Baihu immediately said: "My brother, don't underestimate the enemy, I heard that when Li Xu's cavalry attacked the day before yesterday, they also retreated again and again, but they set fire to it in secret, causing Li Xu to suffer heavy losses." ”

Huang Chao said: "You have thought too much, since this is the case, you will stay in the rear formation to watch the enemy plunder, and wait for us to kill under Luoyang City, and then come back to pick you up." ”

Yan Yu is Yan Baihu's younger brother, and when he saw that everyone else was rushing forward, he said anxiously to his brother: "Brother, they have all rushed, let's go too." ”

Yan Baihu shook his head: "The army behind can't come for the time being, and the lone army may not be able to eat any good fruit if they go deep, and we don't have to fight for merit, just hold this tidal flat, and we can attack and retreat and defend, which is also a merit."

According to Tian Feng's plan, he wanted to continue to bring in Baiyue people for a while before making a move, but he didn't expect that although these soldiers were barefoot, they ran as fast as rabbits. Koji's crossbowmen retreated again and again, and most of the bows and arrows they sent out were blocked by the iron shields in their hands, and they were about to catch up soon, and the orderly retreat was almost a real rout.

Because it was said that it was a rotation defense, Zhang He was still in the camp in the rear at this time, and as soon as he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately called his subordinates to fight urgently, but after all, he couldn't solve the close fire, and saw that the rear of Koji Yi was about to be swallowed up by the enemy.

With a tiger roar, Dian Wei swept past Lu Yi's side, and with a halberd in his hand, he cut the four or five people who chased the front into two pieces, and then he threw himself into the tide formed by the Baiyue people like a boulder, stirring up a monstrous wave. Zhou Tai Wei Yan also rode his horse to follow closely behind him, smashing the droplets splashed in the waves into pieces again. With the strength of three people, they actually blocked this attack that was as fast as a galloping horse and like thunder, and Koji Yi got this relief, and he also turned around and shot a round quickly, and finally stabilized his position.
