The next day, the sun rose from the horizon, and the sky turned fish-belly white. The soft sunlight dispelled the darkness and coldness on the ground. Both the Han and Wei armies set out from the camp and headed for Jingshui.

The calm surface of Jingshui suddenly became turbulent, and a group of Wei soldiers walked slowly towards the shore with neat steps.

The rangers on the west bank noticed the movement of the Wei army and blew their horns to ask for reinforcements.After the Han army heard the sound, Liao Hua and Zhao Tong walked towards the place where the Wei army was about to cross the river.

The two banks of Jingshui are not as gentle as those of Qianshui. There are gullies several meters deep in the river course and banks, and it is difficult to cross them at ordinary times. However, during the war, Wei Jun's attempt to cross the river through the gullies was no different from dying.Therefore, only the gentle places along the Jingshui River can build bridges or sail boats.Therefore, it is not difficult to confirm the location of Wei Jun's crossing the river.

Having said that, Jingshui's river surface is much narrower than Qianshui's. The width of the river is only more than 1 meters, which is far from being compared with Qianshui's width of more than 2 meters. Five meters deep.It is now winter, and although the river here has not dried up, it is no longer as deep as four or five meters in summer. Now the average depth is only about [-]-[-] meters.

"stop!"

When the front of the Han army was thirty or forty steps away from the river bank, the military flag indicating the stop of the march was erected, and the soldiers of the Han army who had been looking at the flag couldn't help but stop.

"Crossbowmen step forward!"

The crossbowmen of the Han army stepped out from behind the pawns, took out the arrows from the quiver at their waists, and stuck them upside down in the soil.The crossbowman stepped on the body of the crossbow, pulled the bowstring with both hands, made a tooth-piercing sound of winding up the bow, loaded the crossbow bolts and loaded the crossbow.

Compared with the Han army, the Wei army on the other side of the river was holding a huge shield, and most of them were auxiliary soldiers who carried supplies and built pontoon bridges behind them.

It is very difficult to use small boats to build a pontoon bridge on a river that is too short. After all, the crossbowmen of the Han army on the other side of the river are not vegetarians, and sharpshooters can shoot at the soldiers driving the boat at any time.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

The crossbowmen of the Han army took the lead in completing the preparations and fired dense crossbow arrows towards the opposite bank of the river. However, due to the long distance, when they reached the opposite bank, the strength of the crossbow arrows had already weakened and it was difficult to cause major damage.

However, the Wei army behind the shield did not slack off. They knew that this was just a test of the Han army's bow and crossbow, and a more violent attack was yet to come.

Standing on the carriage, Li Fu drew out his long sword, pointed it to the west, and shouted: "Cross the river!"

Wei Jun's flag was waved, and Wei Jun walked towards the river with vigorous steps in the rhythm of drums, and the river gradually sank to his ankles.Looking from a distance, I can see the long snake formed by the shield, swimming in the river like a giant python.

"Build a bridge!"

Under the cover of shields, Wei Jun's auxiliary soldiers carried sacks filled with soil and began to fill the river ahead with arrows.As a large amount of arrow rain fell, the auxiliary soldiers mourned all over the field, and the river was stained red with blood, but they could not hinder the advance of the soldiers of the Wei army at all, and they rushed to the front one after another.

The crossbowmen of the Han army skillfully wind the string, pull the trigger, and shoot the crossbow arrows, repeating the cycle.The rain of arrows from the Han army kept flying towards the enemy's formation. Even so, due to the unevenness of the riverbed and the gentleness of the river, sacks piled up in the river, and a simple road to the opposite bank was quickly built.

The auxiliary soldier who had completed the task was lucky enough to recover his life, retreated quickly, and brought back the wounded soldiers who had been shot by arrows along the way for medical treatment.The elite soldiers of the Wei army quickly filled the vacancies of the auxiliary soldiers, arranged in a compact and neat formation, and rushed towards the Han army on the west bank by stepping on the icy knee-cold river.

The north wind was bleak, and the big red flag on the slope was blown.Huang Quan stood beside him, covering the rising sun with his hands, watching the yellow tide approaching the river in the distance, and said, "Blow the horn and order the infantry in front to fight."

"promise!"

"Woo!" "Woo!" "Woo!"

The sound of the low-pitched horn resounded through the ancient Guanzhong Plain, the flag of the Han army was waved, and the front infantry was ordered to start suddenly, passing through the crossbowmen and rushing towards the river bank.

Zhao Yan, who was on the other side of the river, looked at Xia Houru beside him, and said, "Li Fu's troops are difficult to defeat the Han army. It is necessary for the general to lead the Chinese army to break through the Shu army."

Xia Houru put his long sword in his hand, arched his hands towards Zhao Yan, and said: "Military commander, don't worry, our department is already prepared, so I will go to the Chinese army to take command. Once Li Fu is weak, I will personally take the place of defeating the Shu army." .This is under the command of the military division Lao.”

After finishing speaking, Xia Houru came down from the hillside, got on his horse, and went to the central army to sit in charge.

While speaking, the ranks of the two armies also began to move forward, approaching quickly.The soldiers of the Han army could see the style of armor worn by the elite soldiers in the front row of the opponent, as well as the wet trouser legs on the opponent's feet.Gleaming spears and spears lined up in the dense forest rushed towards the face, and the sound of arrows piercing the air could be heard from time to time overhead.Such a tense atmosphere makes one want to swallow their saliva.

Suddenly, the soldiers on both sides began to shout loudly, forgetting the fear in their hearts for a long time, and then their blood boiled, they mustered up their courage, and quickened their pace. The two queues collided head-on, and a deafening crash sounded suddenly.

In the battle at this time, there is no room for Wenmou Wutao to use, sword against sword, gun against gun, army against army, like two ferocious ancient giant beasts fighting.In this narrow environment, even a person with excellent body skills is difficult to use, and even the most exquisite tricks are difficult to use. Only by relying on extraordinary reactions, eyesight, and doing everything possible to kill the enemy in front can one survive.

Having said that, the straight and continuous military line will inevitably begin to twist and sag. However, whenever this situation arises, the excellent generals on both sides will quickly control the situation and mobilize powerful forces to bring the front line back to its original position. Squeeze towards the other side.

Although the two sides were in a stalemate, the number of casualties continued to rise. The muddy ground near the river was filled with blood and gradually became smelly.

Soon, Huang Quan's brave soldiers from Longyou, relying on their extraordinary courage, excellent fighting skills, and geographical advantages, squeezed the soldiers from Kanto to the riverside, and there was a tendency to push towards the river. .

Huang Quan on the hillside watched this scene and murmured to himself, "Don't rush fishing, or you will scare the fish away."

As he spoke, Huang Quan raised his voice and ordered: "Let Zhao Guang lead his troops to press up, and let Xia Houru send out the elite from Luoyang."

"promise!"

While the flag was waving, Zhao Guang, who was in the front line but kept staring at the flag, raised his spear and shouted: "Follow me!"

The soldiers of the Han army stood up with a clatter, followed the sound of bugles and semaphore, and headed towards the Wei army by the river.

Zhao Guang's personality is different from that of his brother Zhao Tong, nor his father Zhao Yun.As far as his personality is concerned, he is difficult to be a general, but he has learned some of the essence of Zhao Yun's martial arts, and he is very brave when he rushes into battle.

At present, except for Huang Zhongjue, the five tiger generals in the Han Dynasty, Liu Chan treats the other four heirs favorably, and chooses his ability to serve as his official.Among the few descendants, Guan Yu raised the most outstanding children. In his early years, Guan Yu hoped that his eldest son, Guan Ping, would inherit his career and let Guan Ping join the army.He arranged for his second son, Guan Xing, to study scriptures and follow the line of civil servants. Unexpectedly, Guan Xing's outstanding talent was appreciated by Zhuge Liang.

The second is Zhao Yun's heir.The eldest son, Zhao Tong, has excellent abilities. Although it is difficult to be a general, he can be a supplementary; the second son, Zhao Guang, has a straightforward personality and inherits some of the essence of Zhao Yun's martial arts, so he can be a brave general.

"Return to the old capital, revive the Han Dynasty!"

Zhao Guang took the lead and shouted hoarsely.
