Father can be an enemy to the country
Chapter 972 Crossing the River
Moreover, materials prepared in advance can also be preprocessed, greatly reducing the workload on site. The quality is also unmatched by rafts made from temporary materials.
I saw that each group of moso bamboos was roughly the same length and thickness, and had its mouth opened. The soldiers only need to wedge in wooden sticks of the same caliber and tie them with hemp ropes, and a beautiful bamboo raft is made.
Before the meal was over, the riverside was already lined with bamboo rafts waiting to be launched... This miraculous speed made the Yuan army stunned and confused. And it’s a bit of a relief...
But the first to attack was elsewhere.
Just as the Yuan army was preparing to defend against the enemy coming up the river, they suddenly heard the rumble of war drums and the sound of trumpets behind them. But clearly not their snare horn.
The officers and soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty turned back blankly and followed the sound. The result was unknown, and I was shocked when I saw countless flags suddenly erected on Liokuo Mountain two miles away to the south, and smoke filled the sky!
Then the loud shouts of killing rang out, and countless Ming army cavalry rushed out of the forest on horseback and drove straight into their backs along the hillside!
Seeing the Ming cavalry all over the mountains and plains suddenly charging out from behind, the Yuan army immediately panicked. They were completely unprepared to be attacked from both sides. All their defense lines were piled on the riverside, and the door behind them was wide open. They were completely defenseless. How could they not panic?
~~
But on Liokuo Mountain, Mu Ying used a telescope to see the main force on the other side, basically set up the raft, and finally gave the order to attack the soldiers who had finished resting.
The soldiers of the Ming army first set up all the flags they brought high, and then they couldn't wait to beat the dozens of drums they brought and blew hundreds of horns. The drums and trumpets sounded in unison, and the sound shook the sky. The birds and beasts in the mountains and forests were frightened and scattered, and the Yuan army looked back in panic!
Amidst the inspiring sounds of war drums and horns, Mu Ying got on her horse, took the horse-drawn horse from her own soldiers, raised it high above her head, pointed forward, and shouted loudly:
"Everyone, follow me to charge into the battle and defeat the enemy!"
All the soldiers agreed with a loud voice, and followed Mu Ying on horseback to fight out of the forest.
One cavalry takes the lead, thousands of cavalry follow, the iron hooves are rolling, it is unstoppable!
Four thousand cavalry galloped down from the mountain, the smoke and dust rolled up covered the sky and the sun, and the rumble of horse hooves even covered the sound of the war drums. The momentum was something that even several times the infantry could not create.
It was Dalima who recovered from the shock first and said urgently to Erden: "Quick, stop them!"
Erdun quickly mobilized his troops and sent people to form a formation behind the army to meet the enemy.
But their movements were too slow, and the Ming army came too fast. Before the defense line could be organized, the Ming army's cavalry arrived one after another, and in a blink of an eye, they smashed through the Yuan army's unformed defense line.
Under the leadership of Mu Ying, the Ming army rushed directly into the Yuan army's formation without stopping, charging left and right, with overwhelming force. It's like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, invincible!
At this time, the sound of war drums and horns sounded again, and it was the Marquis of Yingchuan on the other side who also gave the order to cross the river.
Upon hearing the order, the soldiers of the Ming Army's Pioneer Battalion pushed the bamboo rafts into the water one after another, then jumped on the rafts, used the gun poles as poles, and rowed the bamboo rafts to the opposite side.
The river was more than a hundred feet wide, and the bamboo raft rushing ahead quickly crossed the center of the river. Just as it was rushing ashore, the archers of the Yuan army began to shoot.
One hundred thousand archers from the army were concentrated on the front line, and the scene of shooting arrows at the same time was very amazing. It is not an exaggeration to say that arrows rained down like rain.
Amidst the scalp-numbing whistling sound, locust-like arrows came towards the face, and the Ming soldiers in the first row hurriedly raised their shields to resist.
Click, click, click, several arrows were inserted into the shield in the blink of an eye. However, the shield's defensive area was limited after all, and a large number of arrows still passed over the shield and hit the dense Ming army on the raft.
During the process of crossing the river, the Ming troops on the raft were like living targets, and there were many living targets piled together. In the dense rain of arrows from the Yuan army, some people were constantly hit by arrows and fell into the water.
The surface of the river was soon stained red with blood...
Seeing this scene, Yu Min was frightened. Although he had experienced two fierce battles, they were both night battles and he had been following Qi Qianhu, so he basically didn't feel the cruelty of the battlefield.
At this time, the sky was bright and he could see everything at a glance. All the death and blood were vividly displayed in front of him. In one breath, several or even a dozen of his comrades were hit by arrows and fell into the water. With good luck, they were rescued by the nearby Pao Ze. The bad ones were swept away by the rushing river.
He clearly saw someone struggling and calling out, but his colleagues had no time to pay attention to them and were swept further and further away by the river. He also saw some of his colleagues who had their shoulder blades pierced by an arrow. After falling into the water, they tried to take off their breastplates, but were unable to do so. In the end, they could only be dragged down by the heavy breastplates and sank to the bottom of the water in despair...
"What are you doing standing there in a daze? It's our turn!" Wang Xiaoqi kicked him on the butt and kicked the dazed Yu Min into the water.
Although the Baishi River in the twelfth lunar month was not as frozen as the rivers in the north, the water in the river was also freezing cold, which made him sober up immediately.
He hurriedly climbed up the bamboo raft on his hands and knees. Before he could stand still, Li Laoba, who came up before him, thrust a shield into his hand and said angrily: "Get in front and block the arrows!"
Yu Min felt that he was being used as a shield. Before he could refuse, he was pushed to the front row by the people behind him. He had no choice but to angrily put his shield on the raft and turned around to glare at Li Laoba.
Li Laobao ignored him. After Wang Xiaoqi came up, he propped up his gun and drove the raft away from the shore.
The bamboo raft on which the soldiers of this banner were located, together with the bamboo rafts on the front, back, left and right, continued to rush towards the other side.
On the raft, Wang Xiaoqi took the time to provide business guidance: "When I call you to raise the shield, raise the shield with both hands and tilt the shield upward to resist the arrows shot from above! No matter what happens, don't let go, and you are not allowed to change your posture until you die!" "
As he spoke, he emphasized loudly: "Remember, don't lower your shield and don't squat down! The veterans have given you the safest job, you must also protect them, don't just protect yourself! "
When Yu Min heard this, she turned around and glanced at Li Laoba, but she didn't expect that he didn't mean that...
Li Laoba rolled his eyes and muttered with disdain: "I don't understand anything!"
At this time, the raft passed the center of the river and entered the shooting range of the Yuan army. The whistling arrows arrived as expected!
Wang Xiaoqi shouted loudly from behind: "Raise your shield!"
The soldiers in the front row hurriedly raised their shields in unison, and Yu Min was no exception.
Just as he took a stance, arrows hit the shield in his hand amidst the sound of impact. Yu Min didn't expect that the force of the bow and arrow was so powerful that it made his hands numb and his body kept wanting to lean back.
Just as the shield was slightly lowered, an arrow hit his helmet. Yu Min was so frightened that he didn't know if he had been hit by the arrow. But when he saw that the leg of his comrade beside him was hit by an arrow, and blood was pouring out, he still stood strong and continued to hold his shield high to block the arrow for his brother behind him.
He didn't even bother to check whether his head was okay, and hurriedly gritted his teeth tightly, anger filled his Dantian, lunged, and held up his shield motionlessly.
