In order to prevent the Shu army from destroying the pontoon bridge, Qi Wannian sent a lot of ferries to protect the pontoon bridge, in order to prevent the Shu army from setting fire to the bridge, Qi Wannian also ordered the soldiers to continue to pour water on the pontoon bridge, so that the pontoon bridge remained in a wet state.

At this point, Qi Wannian is undoubtedly smart, although he is a Hu person, but it does not mean that he is ignorant of current affairs, the firearms of the Shu army are powerful, not only once destroyed the city wall of Chang'an, but also repelled the Jin army's river crossing action in Pubanjin, these Qi Wannian have heard of it, in order to prevent the Shu army from destroying the pontoon bridge with firearms, it is very important to keep the surface of the pontoon bridge damp.

Fu Yan looked at the actions of the Di people on the south bank, and sighed slightly, it seems that this Qi Wannian is also a tricky character, not like the ordinary Hu people are arrogant and reckless, from watering the pontoon bridge, it can be seen that this is still meticulous and strategic, such an opponent is not easy to deal with.

Although the army is at a disadvantage, but Fu Yan does not have a trace of fear, the natural danger of the Wei River, the advantage of the Hu cavalry has been completely shaved, water warfare is the Hu people's most ungood project, the Shu army occupies the right time and place, there is no reason not to stop the Hu people from crossing the river attack.

Even if the soaked pontoon bridge is immune to rockets, but the pontoon bridge is only a little wide, even if there are more soldiers, it is impossible to rush to the pontoon bridge all at once, not to mention that the Shu army also has a big killing weapon such as the Yuanrong crossbow, so Fu He gave up the plan to use catapults to destroy the pontoon, he simply let the Di people build the pontoon bridge successfully, so that it is possible to kill and injure more Di people.

Qi Wannian saw that the pontoon bridge had approached the south bank, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, originally his biggest worry was that the Shu army would destroy the pontoon bridge, so that his plan to cross the river would fail, but now it seems that this worry is superfluous, the successful construction of the pontoon bridge has created a prerequisite for the Di army to attack the south bank, Qi Wannian seems to have seen Chang'an City beckoning to him.

Qi Wannian gave an order, and the soldiers swarmed onto the pontoon, but the narrow pontoon bridge could not withstand so many people at all, and when a large number of soldiers poured onto the pontoon, the pontoon bridge immediately shook and crumbled, and it seemed that it was in danger of disintegrating.

Qi Wannian had to re-order the Di soldiers who were crowded together to line up and go to the pontoon bridge in batches, which could be regarded as relieving the pressure on the pontoon bridge.

At the same time as attacking from the pontoon bridge, dozens of ferries loaded with soldiers also set sail from the north shore and launched an attack on the south bank in unison.

The Shu army on the south bank was already in full array, waiting for Fu Yi to give the order to attack.

Fu Yan was not in a hurry, and calmly watched the attacking Di people.

The pontoon bridge of the Di people was not built directly on the embankment on the south bank, after all, there was a defense of the Shu army, and the Di people could only stop it when they were built fifty or sixty steps away from the shore, otherwise even if the Shu army did not stop it, after the pontoon bridge was built, the Shu army could also borrow it, rush to the pontoon bridge and kill the Di soldiers, so that the hard work of the Di people was not in vain?

Fortunately, the distance of fifty or sixty paces was not too deep in the water, and the deepest part was not waist-deep, and the shallow place was only up to the knees.

The pontoon bridge was not wide, and at most it could only allow four or five people to walk side by side, and when Fu Yi saw that the soldiers were within range, he immediately ordered the crossbowmen to open their bows and arrows.

The locust-like arrows shot towards the pontoon, although the soldiers had the protection of the shields, but the rain of arrows was too dense, and they could always find a gap between the shields of the soldiers, and then give a fatal blow, and before the soldiers reached the end of the pontoon bridge, many people fell on the pontoon.

The corpses in front hindered the advance of the soldiers behind, and these corpses were ruthlessly cleaned up and thrown into the Wei River, and no matter how many casualties appeared in front, the soldiers behind squeezed up like a tidal wave.

Finally there are Di soldiers arrived at the end of the pontoon bridge, looking at the ocean of river under the footsteps, those Qiang soldiers were timid, a little hesitant, but the Di soldiers behind did not have the slightest sign of stopping, the unstoppable impact pushed the Di soldiers who were still hesitating into the river, and the Di soldiers behind were more like dumplings, plopping into the Wei River.

Fortunately, the water is not too deep, at most it is not waist-deep, but in the cold winter season, the river water is cold and biting, and the soldiers fall into the river and their faces are blue and shivering.

But this is only the beginning of their nightmare, jumping off the pontoon, it means that they are already very close to the shore, only forty or fifty steps away, forty or fifty steps is not far, not close, if it is on flat ground, these forty or fifty steps can run over in one breath, if it is a war horse, this distance is only two blinks.

But now they are in the river, every step is a very difficult thing, forty or fifty steps away looks very close, but very far away, not to mention this time, the Shu army's arrow rain is more dense and sharp, standing in the river, almost become the Shu army's live target, except that side of the area is limited, taking care of the shield above and below, the soldiers don't even have a little room to hide, many people just entered the water, they were ruthlessly shot, the corpses fell in the Wei River, swept away by the river, and the red blood, Soon the surface of the river was dyed red.

What annoys the Di soldiers is that the arrows of the Shu army seem to be endless, they can only passively parry with thick and bulky shields, and some of the Di soldiers who are good at shooting are annoyed, and they open their arrows to counterattack, but before the arrows can be shot, the arrows of the Shu army are enough to shoot him into a hedgehog.

The Di people were not afraid of casualties, and rushed up one after another, and because the pontoon bridge was too crowded, many people had to choose to jump into the Wei River before reaching the end of the pontoon bridge.

The farther to the north, the closer the river is, where the river water is at least not to the chest, and even has the possibility of no roof, jumping to the right side of the pontoon bridge is better, after entering the water, you can hold the pontoon bridge to go forward, from the left side of the water is much more tragic, a foot in the depth of the water, will be subjected to the disaster of no top, swallowed by the rapids.

The casualties of the Di soldiers were staggering, and within a short hour of launching the attack, they lost more than 1,000 people, and the Di barracks, which served as the first echelon of the attack, had been completely wiped out, and no one survived.

Qi Wannian's face was blue and his eyes were gloomy, but he would never give up, and continued to send more troops and continue to attack. (To be continued.) )
