Chapter 201 Half-Crossing Strike

At this time, it was about three o'clock in the afternoon, and now the Yan army either crossed the river at once and then camped to rest, or camped by the river and waited for the next morning to cross the river.

Yanmen Water is not a big river, although the river is hundreds of steps wide, but the river is not deep, and it is the season at the end of April, the river is not cold, so in addition to chariots, people and horses can wade across the river. And it is not difficult for the chariots to cross the river, as long as a pontoon bridge is erected on the river, at most an hour, all the chariots can be crossed. Moreover, Yan Jun also brought enough bridging furniture and materials.

Li Li thought about it for a while, and immediately ordered to immediately erect a pontoon bridge on the river, and then camp and rest after the army had crossed the river, so that early tomorrow morning, the Yan army could immediately set off and enter the Maha Mountain.

After giving the order, the Yan army immediately began to move, erecting a floating river on the river, and at the same time, some soldiers waded across the Yanmen water and came to the other side of the river, ready to camp.

The Yan army's movements were still very fast, and after nearly an hour of work, a simple pontoon bridge had been erected, and at this time, nearly 30,000 soldiers waded across the river to reach the other side of the river. However, only a few soldiers were camping, and the vast majority of those who crossed the river took off their wet clothes to dry. For a time, the entire bank of the river was full of soldiers of the Yan army.

At this time, the chariots and baggage began to cross the river from the pontoon bridge, and Li Li, as the main general, of course, would not wade across the river like ordinary soldiers, so together with the first vehicles to cross the river, he reached the other side of the river through the pontoon bridge.

After Li Li got off the bridge, the sky had reached dusk, and most of the sun had set, leaving only a blood-red afterglow on the horizon, and seeing that the soldiers of the Yan army were in a mess on the bank of the river, and many soldiers were naked, Li Li couldn't help frowning, and said: "What is this like, pass the order down, and immediately reorganize the army." ”

And Dong Zhao, who crossed the river with him, said: "General, now that it is getting late, it is impossible for us to march again, and after the camp is set up, the soldiers can enter the camp to rest, and what the whole team does, forget it." ”

When Li Li was thinking, at this moment, he only heard a muffled thunderous sound, coming from far and near, Li Li and Dong Zhao glanced at each other, Li Li said: "What kind of sound is this?" ”

Before the words fell, I saw a few soldiers hurriedly come to Li Li's car and said, "General, the cavalry of the Zhao army, the cavalry of the Zhao army is here." ”

Li Li listened, and was not surprised, it turned out that this was the sound of dense horse hooves, because Yan did not have an independent cavalry army, the soldiers of the Yan army did not hear much about this dense sound of horse hooves, although the chariot was horse-pulled, but in the sound of horse hooves there was also mixed with a large number of wheel rolling sounds, which was completely different from the simple sound of horse hooves, so Li Li reacted so late, if it was the Qin army, he would have heard it a long time ago.

However, at this time, there was no need to rely on the sound to distinguish it, because countless banners were fluttering in the wind in the dim twilight, and countless knights on war horses were holding high spears, halberds and other weapons, and had already rushed towards the Yan army.

In fact, the whereabouts of the Yan army have always been under the control of the plateau, because it was yesterday and today that the plateau was deceived several times, luring the front army of the Yan army faster and faster, and the distance between it and the Chinese army is also getting bigger and bigger, so all the qiē are developing according to the plateau's expectations. Moreover, at this time, the weapons and armor and other assemblies transported from Daijun had also been delivered, and the soldiers recruited by Huang Chong in Shanggu County were replaced with new ones, and 10,000 soldiers were assigned to support Sima Shang on the southern front, and he led 13,000 soldiers to rush to Mount Molu and join the plateau.

Even if the 3,000 cavalry troops brought by Zhongsun Qi and the Yan army were delayed, the Wu'an army gathered 40,000 troops at Molu Mountain, including more than 12,000 cavalry, including 3,000 new cavalry. Therefore, the conditions for attacking the Yan army in all aspects have been ripe, so the plateau also decided to start attacking the front army of the Yan army at the confluence of Yanmen Water and Zhishui, and when the Yan army crosses the river.

However, there was still a little mistake on the plateau, originally the plateau expected that the Yan army would go down to the river and cross the river tomorrow, so he was not in a hurry to send troops to ambush by the river, and it was too late to wait until tomorrow to set off, but the plateau did not expect that the Yan army would be impatient to choose to cross the river overnight, so he had to order an immediate attack, and he personally led 10,000 cavalry to take the lead to the Yanmen water.

Fortunately, the Yan army set up a pontoon bridge, and it took a lot of time to cross the river, and the speed of the cavalry was extremely fast, so before it was completely dark, they rushed to the Yanmen water's edge and launched an attack on the Yan army.

Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-swish--The Wu'an cavalry who rushed to the forefront shot a dense number of arrows at the Yan army, like a raging storm, falling on the head of the Yan army, and the soldiers in the front of the Yan army were shot by the arrows one after another, screaming and falling to the ground. The Yan army was completely chaotic, and then the cavalry of the Wu'an army entered the Yan army, stabbing with spears and sabers, slashing and stabbing the Yan soldiers wantonly.

In fact, at this time, the Yan army that crossed the Yanmen River had exceeded 40,000 people, and there were only a few thousand soldiers left on the other side of the Yanmen River, which was quite a lot, but at this time, the Yan army was completely scattered, and the army was chaotic, and it was impossible to fight with the Wu'an army at all. Although there were still a very small number of soldiers in the Yan army who were fully armed, after a day's rush and the erection of a pontoon bridge by the Yanmen water, they were exhausted, and their combat effectiveness was less than half of that of usual. What's more, infantry has an innate advantage over cavalry. As a result, the Yan army was killed and wounded, and the other soldiers retreated one after another.

Li Li had just crossed the Yanmen River, but he was actually in the last array of the Yan army, so the Wu'an army had not yet killed Li Li's location. And Li Li was also desperately shouting, trying to stop the retreat of the soldiers, and also wanted to rectify the chaotic situation. But no soldiers listened to him at all, some of them retreated to the river, wading across the river, and some of them crossed the river from the pontoon bridge.

But at this time there were more than a dozen chariots on the pontoon bridge, which were moving towards this side, and the pontoon bridge was not wide, and the chariots could not turn on the bridge deck at all, so the soldiers went back, and the chariots advanced, and immediately crowded with each other.

Li Li pointed and gestured for a while, but the result was useless at all, and it also made Li Li so anxious that he stomped his feet and beat his chest again, and shouted to the sky.

At this time, the Wu'an army was about to kill Li Li, Dong Zhao said: "General, we can't defeat us, let's quickly retreat to the other side of the river." ”

Li Li was so anxious that he stomped his feet on the chariot and shouted: "Don't go, don't go, Ben Shuai will never retreat, kill, kill me, I'm going to fight with Zhao Jun, fight ......"

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, a feather arrow with a sharp roar happened to shoot on the front baffle of Li Li's chariot, more than an inch into the wood, and the tail of the arrow trembled non-stop, which also shocked Li Li into a cold sweat and almost planted the chariot. And a few of the cavalry of the Wu'an Army had already killed less than twenty paces away from Li Li.

Li Li, who was still impassioned just now, wanted to fight to the death with the Wu'an army, and at this time his courage disappeared without a trace, and hurriedly ordered the emperor to turn the head of the car and cross the bridge to cross the river. But as soon as he turned the head of the car, Li Li found that the pontoon bridge had already been crowded with soldiers, chariots, and horses, and people and horses were constantly being squeezed into the river and could not pass at all.

Dong Zhao said: "General, the pontoon bridge can't be walked, let's get out of the car and wade across the river." ”

Li Li looked back, and through the dim light, he could see that at this time, some soldiers of the Wu'an Army had been killed to the edge of the river, and the soldiers of the Yan Army were driven down the river one after another, wading to the other side of the river, and there were arrows flying around him from time to time, and some Yan soldiers were shot by arrows and fell into the river. Therefore, Li Li also knew that he could not talk about the image of the main general at this time, and if he didn't cross the river again, he might not have a chance, so he could only grit his teeth, get off the chariot, and wade across the river under the protection of Dong Zhao and several soldiers.

In fact, the river is not deep, and there are soldiers to support it, so after a while, Li Li walked to the center of the river, and at this time the river has reached the neck, but only listen to the sound of "whoosh" arrows breaking through the air sounded continuously, and many soldiers in the river were hit by arrows and fell into the river. Li Li looked back and saw that many of the cavalry of the Wu'an Army had already been killed by the river, riding horses and stationing, shooting the Yan soldiers in the river.

At this time, I only heard the sound of "clucking", the water splashed everywhere, it turned out that the pontoon bridge had been overwhelmed, broken into several pieces, and the soldiers, war horses, chariots, etc. on the bridge also fell into the river, and people shouted for a while that the horses neighed, as if they were boiling a pot. And the Yan soldiers in the river are like dumplings, crowded to the brim, so the Wu'an army's bow and arrow hit very high, an average of two or three arrows, you can shoot a Yan soldier. In a short time, the corpses of many Yan soldiers were floating in the river, and some parts of the river were dyed gray-red.

At this moment, Li Li only heard a scream beside him, and it turned out that a soldier who was protecting himself was also shot by an arrow, and fell into the river water, splashing Li Li's head and face. And Li Li was also frightened, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up, go quickly, it'll be safe when you get to the river." ”

So everyone also quickened their pace, one foot deep, one foot shallow foot in the river water, although there were arrows flying around them from time to time, but in the end, Li Li and Dong Zhao's luck was good, and they finally reached the other side of the river safely.

The width of the river is more than 300 paces, so it has exceeded the range of the bow and arrow here, although at this time the sky is completely dark, and the things around more than ten steps away can not be seen clearly, only the sound of water can be heard, and vaguely seen, countless figures from the river water out of the shore, but according to the general practice, at this time the two warring sides should withdraw their troops and stop fighting, so Li Li also breathed a sigh of relief, regardless of the wet all over his body, sat on the bank of the river, panting heavily.
