22, take the edge of the edge of the road
Li Le was cautious by nature and soon discovered the abnormality of the Xiliang Army on the other side.
After entering the dry water period, shallow water areas will gradually appear in the lower reaches of this section of Fen River. People who are familiar with the hydrology of Fen River can easily wader across the river.
Li Le also believed that with the elite and daring to fight on the other side of the Xiliang Army, he would not have imagined such a thing. Therefore, although he had shot back the Xiliang cavalry who wanted to smuggle, he never dared to take it lightly in his heart. He felt that the attack of the Xiliang Army would never be so simple.
Seeing the torches of the Xiliang army on the other side and the drums were shaking the sky, Li Le originally thought that this was the Xiliang army on the other side preparing for the next attack, but unfortunately, the Xiliang army on the other side was thunder and raindrops. After all, the Xiliang army crossed the river several subsequent attacks were all done with a brief taste. As soon as they encountered the dense rain of arrows on their own, they retreated voluntarily.
But this made Li Le even more uneasy.
Therefore, when he heard the sound of warning horns sounded upstream, and after learning that the main force of the Xiliang Army was using boats to force the Fen River, Li Le quickly left half of the old Baibo soldiers and other soldiers to defend the Xiliang Army who were suspending the attack on the river on the other side of the downstream. He personally led two thousand old Baibo soldiers, together with the Ding Zhuang of the three thousand ordinary Baibo soldiers, to speed up the upstream.
These five thousand horses were running on the road, but unfortunately, before they reached the upstream combat zone, there was another fast Malay newspaper from the upstream defenders. The upstream Baibo army defenders had successfully repelled the Xiliang army's sneak attack. Seeing that the attack was unfavorable, the Xiliang army turned the boat and retreated back to the east coast of the Fen River.
The defensive battle went unexpectedly, which immediately made Li Le feel a little more confused.
The Xiliang army on the other side has been aggressive since the beginning, and its attitude of trying to cross is aggressive, but when things come, why has it become so cowardly? As soon as the defenders resisted, they took the initiative to evacuate the battle and return to the other side.
If something goes wrong, there will be a demon!
Li Le smelled a sense of danger. Although he was not an old thief in Baibo's army, he was originally a powerful man in Linfen, Hedong. Because Baibo's army was powerful and dominated the northeastern border of Hedong, he simply joined Guo Tai's command.
Although he did not experience much war, Li Le also developed a cautious character by dealing with Bai Bo's army.
"But there are other defenders who have found signs of attack from the Xiliang Army on the other side?"
Li Le anxiously asked the cavalry who came to report the information, but unfortunately the answer he got was not what he wanted. Baibo defenders on other sides of the coast did not find any signs of crossing the river in the Xiliang army on the other side.
Li Le rode on the horse with a gloomy face and silently thought about the strange battle situation in front of him.
Facing this section of Fen River in Linfen, because the Xiliang army on the other side of the shore had requisitioned a lot of boats, they could first select the weak areas of the Baibo defenders' defenses and then cross the river to attack.
At present, the boats of the Xiliang army crossing the river have been found in the upper reaches, and the cavalry of the Xiliang army have been repelled from the downstream. It can be said that the two surprise troops of the Xiliang army crossing the river have been resolved by the Baibo army, which is strictly guarding. If the Xiliang army may continue to attack, the location of the river crossing can only be the middle reaches.
In this middle reaches, the river surface is wider than the upper reaches, and the water flow is more turbulent than the upper reaches. Moreover, the water environment is complex, so it is not the first choice for crossing the river. The previous several tentative attacks of the Xiliang Army on the shore were focused on the upstream and downstream areas. The middle reaches only tried to attack once, but because the water environment is complex and changeable, they gave up the attack in advance and retreated to the other side.
Therefore, the middle reaches of the land is not the important key point of the Baibo Army's defense. The Baibo Army, which was deploying defense along the river, placed more troops in the upstream and downstream areas of this section of the Fen River. As for the middle reaches of the complex water environment, it only sent troops to patrol regularly.
Thinking of this, Li Le's face looked even more ugly. He looked back at the road behind him in silence.
Now, almost all the soldiers on the west bank are attracted to the upper and middle reaches. If at this time, the Xiliang army on the other side has a soldier and horse, and the soldiers are on the other side are on the brink of danger and crossing the river from the middle reaches, it is very likely that the troops in Xi'an will be successfully mobilized and successfully crossing the river.
"Go, follow me!"
Li Le reacted as if he was possessed, turning around and rushing to the road. The other bus cavalry were also surprised by his abnormal behavior. However, looking at Li Le's anxious look, he was afraid that his coach Qu would make mistakes, so these white-bo soldiers rushed up.
The people who suddenly turned around looked like a reversing fire dragon at night. Suddenly, a dragon swung its tail, turned its head and tail, and swam straight to the Fen River that had just passed not long ago.
At this time, it happened to be the moment when Xu Huang's troops who were smuggling from the middle of the journey, the first 300 soldiers followed the shallow area and stepped onto the west coast of the Fen River.
There were 700 soldiers behind them who had not crossed the Fen River. Xu Huang, who organized his troops to cross the river, was still soaking in the river at this time, wading hard and moving. At this time, he suddenly saw a fire dragon returning, patrolling along the middle-stream river bank, and Xu Huang's face changed color instantly.
"Quick, the soldiers behind will speed up!"
Xu Huang conveyed orders to the soldiers behind him, and then passed on one after another. In the end, the Hunjianglong, hidden in the night, also accelerated faster.
"call out--"
The soldiers were moving at a rapid pace, and the sharp whistle sounded quickly. Xu Huang knew that this was a warning signal from the soldiers who had crossed the river. They had been discovered by the Baibo thief who suddenly turned around and was about to have an encounter.
"Quick, hurry!"
Xu Huang could only shout loudly, while accelerating his heavy steps in the water and using his actions to inspire morale.
Although there are many rivers, reeds and swamps on this section of Fen River, which is not conducive to the large number of soldiers and horses spreading at the same time. The 300 soldiers who crossed the river in advance have occupied a favorable position in advance and can stop the white wave thieves who are coming for a period of time.
But after all, they were sparse in number, and it took a lot of their energy to cross the river. Many of the soldiers had just recovered their strength and were armed and held their troops again. If the subsequent soldiers could not arrive for support in time, they would likely be driven down the river by a large number of white wave thieves, and the plan to cross the river tonight would end in failure again.
Military conditions are like fire, and they will fight for a moment.
Such an emergency situation is the same for Bai Bojun who is rushing to come.
After Li Le found that the Xiliang army had crossed the river and came to the shore, he was anxious and immediately ordered the Baibo soldiers under his command to launch an attack. However, the geographical environment of this river bank was complex, with many rivers and reeds and swamps on both sides. Although Li Le had many soldiers, he could not immediately unfold them all. The few Xiliang troops surrounded could only drive the soldiers to launch an attack on the Xiliang army that had already arrived from the nearest direction.
The rapid and violent collision and fighting were unfolding in that narrow area. The Xiliang soldiers lined up to wait for the enemy to stand up their shields and waited for the troops. Without giving in, they fought with the fierce Baibo thieves. Although the team was slightly impulsive by the Baibo thieves who had been continuously, the three hundred Xiliang soldiers were also selected elite soldiers, with a tenacious fighting spirit. Although the situation was unfavorable, they did not collapse immediately. Instead, they struggled to support the front and stood by the soldiers waiting for the support of the subsequent soldiers.
"Hurry up, keep rushing, and even if you hit, you will knock out their shield array and drive them all into the water!"
Li Le, who was standing in front of the battle, saw that the Bai Bo soldiers in front of him were unable to do anything in one go and quickly captured the temporary shield formations set up by the Xiliang army that had just arrived ashore. He was immediately anxious and shouted hysterically to attack, sending the elite troops of his family up, and at the same time ordered the few archers around him to shoot arrows at the water near the west bank quickly.
"Swoosh swish swish--"
After a series of arrows fell from the sky to the water surface, an unlucky soldier beside Xu Huang was immediately caught in the arrow, and with a scream, he fell into the water. The messy water splashed randomly hit Xu Huang's firm face.
Looking along the fire, the arrows on the shore continued to fire, and screams of soldiers' arrows were constantly coming from beside them. There were several rockets mixed in the chaotic arrows. They drew a dazzling trace in the air with a ball of flame, and then fell mercilessly into the strokes that were struggling to wade in the water, bringing blood flowers.
The closer you get to the shore, the more threatening the chaotic flowing arrows on the shore. Even if the soldiers wading across the river sacrifice their speed and raising their shields to protect their heads, they are still easily shot from both sides by arrows, and more and more soldiers will be shot by arrows.
Xu Huang, who was in it, could feel the change of the situation around him. The river water around him became turbid. The messy steps of the soldiers who were wading across the river stirred the mud at the bottom of the water. Moreover, there was a strong smell of blood in the river. Xu Huang knew that it was the soldiers of his own troops who were constantly bleeding.
At this time, Xu Huang used the fleeting light of a rocket landing beside him to see the faces of the soldiers beside him. Many of them were already pale and their eyes were flustered. Obviously, this passive beating in the dark night had caused the morale of the army to begin to disintegrate.
"Transfer the order and accelerate the advance. If there are those who do not advance in the ranks, the rank commander will kill them; if there are those who do not advance, the rank commander will kill them; if there are those who do not advance, the team will lead them to kill them. Supervise the soldiers and draw their blades behind them. If there are those who do not advance slowly, they will kill them. If there are advances but no retreat, there will be death but no life, and you will rush!"
When Xu Huang crossed the river, he arranged a team of soldiers to supervise soldiers at the end of the queue that was wading across the river. At such an emergency, Xu Huang would never give up the painstaking plan for more than half a month because of the deaths of some soldiers. He bravely stepped forward, accelerated over the soldiers in front of him, and shouted loudly, allowing his orders to be conveyed to all directions of the night.
"There is advancement but no retreat, there is death but no life, rush!"
Inspired by Xu Huang's courageous move forward, all the soldiers around him also rushed forward, shouting to fight against the river and charge forward, and the morale of the soldiers who were not threatened by the scattered arrows was also greatly boosted, and they followed the steps of the soldiers in front and came with water.
So, the Baibo soldiers who were still shooting arrows on the shore were terrified to find such a scene: under the illumination of rockets, a Xiliang army, which was catching arrows in the dark and enduring the cold river water, was desperately rushing to the shore. Behind them, the soldiers' shouts were like thunder, shaking the four fields. I don't know how many soldiers were wading in the water and forcing them to cross.
"Kill the thief! Kill the thief!"
After Xu Huang, who was straying from the waves, rushed to the shore, holding a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, directly abandoning the excess burden on his body. Before he even had time to wear armor, he took the soldiers who were on the shore and rushed towards the Baibo thief from the slant.
Seeing Xu Huang as Sima's master, he personally donated his armor to fight, the other soldiers following him were afraid that he would be in danger and inspired by him. They also charged forward, crossed his body, and rushed into the formation of the Baibo thief who had become chaotic. The sword slashed and caused a blood rain all over the sky.
The 300 soldiers who were originally ashore and struggled to support him now have only more than 200 people left. However, after seeing the firelight, Xu Huang charged forward, his morale was greatly boosted, and he burst out with amazing combat power, repelling the white wave thief, which was astonishing as the attack, and pushing the shield formation in turn, turning defense into offense, and advancing the white wave thief.
At this time, the morale of the Baibo army began to decline. Instead, it was suppressed by the Xiliang army and retreated step by step. Even the ordinary Baibo soldiers who were standing behind were limited to the terrain and could not fight in battle also became panicked, thinking that in the dark, there were already a large number of Xiliang troops who had already crossed the Fen River and launched a fierce offensive, so even the old Baibo soldiers in front could not resist it.
"Don't panic, I'll get everything behind me!"
Li Le spoke in a hoarse voice, trying to regain the reversal of the situation, but soon the voice of his command attracted Xu Huang who broke into the formation.
As soon as Li Le finished speaking, he saw a big man holding a knife and shield rushing towards him. After knocking a white soldier away along the way, his charge was far from slowing down, but instead pressing towards him step by step.
"ah!"
As soon as the other party approached, the big sword in his hand was already chopped down with a fierce wind. At this critical moment, most of the soldiers around Li Le were fighting with the Xiliang army. No soldier took the initiative to resist for him. Li Le, who had aroused a strong desire to survive, could only bit his back teeth and defend the enemy himself. He shouted, and raised his sword to carry the first strike.
"clang!"
With a violent sound of gold and iron clashing, Li Le felt a fire flashing in front of him, and then the tiger's mouth in his hand was in great pain, and the ring knife he was holding also flew out. However, the big man who was blocked this knife was still holding the big sword in his hand. He remained silent, but his movements were not slow, and he slashed it down with one knife.
"ah!"
Although Li Le's voice was even louder, it no longer had the power of the sound he had used to be brave for him. His shouts were mixed with fear and panic. He could only turn away and try to avoid the fatal knife. Unfortunately, the sword came too quickly and he could not completely avoid it. Although he was not hit by the head, the fierce blade still removed one of his arms.
“Ahhhh——”
Chapter completed!
