Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 104
Boom, boom, boom...

The majestic war drum sounded from the south bank.

Zhang Yu launched the first battle to cross the river.

Not surprisingly, the Jin army from Zuoying took the lead, and hundreds of soldiers rushed to the north bank with large shields and stepping on rafts.

People from the north ride horses, people from the south drive boats.

The rafts are like flying fish in Wei water.

Dozens of trebuchets on the north bank began to show their power, and the cannon stones roared across the sky and smashed into the water, causing bursts of spray.

However, this kind of raft has small targets and is extremely flexible in the water. Three people on a raft hold shields, three hold crossbows, and the remaining four paddle. The speed is extremely fast, and it is difficult for a catapult to hit.

Even if it hit, the enemy troops who were not killed on the spot still moved forward, and they could still shoot towards the camp on the north bank with their crossbows.

The archers at center base bowed their bows and set their arrows.

Li Yue waved his hand, "Let them cross the river."

Although it is the best choice to maintain an unbeatable momentum in this battle, but Zhang Yufei wants to seek death, and no one can stop him.

Hundreds of Jin troops quickly crossed the not wide Weishui.

Formation on the shore.

The sound of war drums in the south was loud, and the soldiers began to shout loudly. Dozens of rafts continued to rush towards the north bank, and the water surface seemed to be boiling.

Han Xu and Zheng Hui looked a little ugly, but Du Fan looked calm.

Li Yue ordered: "Foreman, make a quick decision."

"Take orders!" Wei Shan came out with a hammer and a shield.

Forward, center base, Xiaoqi, guerrilla, and scout five divisions. The forward soldiers were renamed from the former Death Battalion. They gathered the desperadoes on Heiyun Mountain. They are the most fierce among the five divisions and are most suitable for this kind of frontal combat.

"Kill!" Ping Di roared.

The forwards rushed out directly from behind the antlers, each with disheveled hair, either carrying maces or iron bones.

In the midsummer season, many people were too lazy to put on clothes, and only put on a layer of iron armor or leather armor on their upper body, and rushed forward with bare buttocks.

Like a group of savages in the mountains.

The Jin army is still in the traditional square circle formation, with layers of defensive troops on the periphery, layers of swords and shields, and crossbowmen in the middle.

The formation is well placed, but in terms of momentum, it is obviously not as good as Li Yue's striker.

The battle of Xuanyuan Mountain had given them a psychological advantage.

This group of people are almost all war-thirsty lunatics. They haven't seen blood for more than half a year. Now they see the enemy, just like a wolf seeing a flock of sheep.

How much food is exchanged for killing an enemy, and how much meritorious service is accumulated, all are clearly marked.

Hundreds of crossbows in the square circle were firing at once, and there was a sound of ding ding dong dong, as if a torrential rain was hitting the shield, causing a burst of wild laughter from the vanguard.

Leading more than a dozen strong soldiers threw away their shields and jumped up with bare thighs, like a wolf pounced on a pack of wolves, smashing down bones, maces, and hammers...

First there was the sound of gold and iron smashing, followed by the sound of bone shattering, screams, and grinning laughter.

The Jin army seemed to have never seen such a barbaric army, and the Fangyuan formation was riddled with holes by the desperadoes from the vanguard.

Li Yue, who was watching the battle from behind, only felt that the soldiers were more ferocious than before.

After the establishment of order in Heiyun Mountain, everyone has relied and guaranteed, and has transformed from a refugee to a real army.

"Hahaha." A vanguard soldier smashed the enemy's head, blood spattered all over his face, but he stretched out his tongue to lick it, the expression on his face became more and more excited.

As if killing was his only pleasure in life.

Although the Jin army came from afar, although they were well-equipped and well-trained, in the final analysis, this war was not theirs. When they encountered the desperadoes in the vanguard, their momentum was weakened by three points.

Wei Shan knocked over a soldier, scanned the battlefield with red eyes, and his eyes fell on an enemy general wearing Mingguang armor.

This equipment is too obvious on the battlefield.

The cyan cloak set off his extravagance even more.

"Death!" Wei Shan roared, and rushed over with a dozen of his own soldiers.

Although the enemy army was hit, but because of the existence of the formation, it has not completely collapsed. Only one important general stood up and raised his arms, and the enemy army could hold on for a while.

When the raft in the Wei water crosses the bank, the outcome is uncertain.

However, not everyone can fight to the death like Heiyunshan. The enemy generals suddenly dropped their weapons after seeing the wolf-like Weishan, turned around and ran away...

As soon as the general retreated, the already shaky formation immediately collapsed, and the enemy turned around and fled.

Those who had no time to escape directly knelt on the shore.

Wei Shan rushed to the water's edge and spat hard, "You bastard!"

The hundreds of rafts on the river saw that the situation was not right, they rowed halfway, and hurried back.

An anticlimactic battle across the river came to an end.

Wei Shan's armor was stained with blood, and he returned to Li Yue with a dissatisfied expression on his face, "The other side is too unhappy, our army hasn't enjoyed themselves yet, they turned around and ran away."

Han Xu, Zheng Hui and Du Fan beside them opened their eyes wide.

The fierce battle just now made them tremble with fear, and they had a new understanding of the combat power of Heiyun Mountain.

Half of this battle is for them to watch, so that they can experience the strength of the Black Cloud Army for themselves.

The other half called Zhang Yu to tell him not to jump over the wall in a hurry.

Just spend it like this, hello and me.

There are deep ditches and high fortifications on both sides. Whoever takes the initiative to attack will be unlucky across the Weishui.

But Zhang Yu obviously didn't understand Li Yue's message, and after two hours, he organized soldiers to attack from the upper reaches, and more than 300 rafts floated down.

This time Li Yue was not polite, and the archers at the middle base fired a thousand arrows, and together with the catapult, they smashed into the Weishui.

Before more than 300 rafts landed, more than 70 to [-] of them capsized in the river, showing bursts of blood red.

The enemy troops rushing to the north bank were unable to break through the barriers of the antlers and gullies, and after dropping four or five hundred corpses, they were driven down Weishui in embarrassment.

After these two battles, Li Yue had a new understanding of Heiyun Mountain's combat power.

The soldiers became braver and fiercer than before after being ideologically remolded.

People who know why they fight are usually not timid.

Putting aside the righteousness of the nation, once Zhang Yu breaks through the Weishui defense line, the hard-working food will be in vain.

Even if the two armies confront each other, Honglucao's people are not idle.

Zhang Yu was rich and powerful, and lost six to seven hundred people without wrinkling his eyes. The next day, he launched a new attack, detouring from upstream and downstream respectively.

But none of these tricks escaped the eyes of the scouts.

There were Cui Jin and Xu Cheng's suspects in the upper reaches of the west, and the scouts in the lower reaches set up an ambush. Without Li Yue's help, 1000 scouts defeated more than [-] people on the opposite side.

Every small victory has continuously increased the confidence of the soldiers.

Li Yue was firmly blocked on the Weishui defense line, and Zhang Yu could not advance an inch.

The war has returned to a stalemate.

This stalemate is naturally beneficial to Li Yue.

Regardless of whether this battle is won or lost, it will be harmful to Heiyun Mountain at the political level.

Unless Zhang Yu can be wiped out in one go and Xu Chang can be swallowed.

But after seeing the continuous camp on the other side, Li Yue gave up this fantasy.

Zhang Yu was not hurt, he couldn't attack, and neither could Li Yue.
