Chapter 470 Confrontation
The wind blows across the river. This is a large river that flows from north to south. It is tens of feet wide and sparkling, nourishing more than [-] mu of land on both sides of the river.This river is the Tang River.

Tanghe County is also named after it.

At this time, the roar of fighting echoed continuously on the river, and the craftsmen accompanying the Huai army used the felled trees to quickly make ferries one after another.

At this time, hundreds of ferry boats on the river were carrying a large number of soldiers of the Huai army, heading towards the opposite bank.

There are also many soldiers, under the command of craftsmen, driving wooden piles, preparing to build a pontoon bridge on the river.

After the pontoon bridge was built, the Huai army could cross the river and reach the city of Tanghe.

"kill!"

The soldiers of the Huai army on the ferry, holding shields on the outside, and archers standing behind,
When approaching the opposite bank, the bow and arrow are drawn, and the arrow rain intersects with each other.

The officers of more than a hundred households are all wearing armor, with strong muscles and bones, and strong strength.

They had to get angry, and when they approached the other side, they jumped off the ferry, stood in the waist-deep water, and quickly flew forward.

puff!
A cone-shaped armor-piercing arrow roared towards it, piercing the chest of one of the hundreds of Huai soldiers.

The Baihu screamed and looked in the direction of the arrow before dying.

On the west bank, there were tens of thousands of soldiers relying on the river to prevent the Huai army from crossing the river. Among them, the archer was a fierce-looking general on horseback in the army.

"The soldiers of the Huai army are indeed difficult to deal with!"

Shooting and killing a Huai army Baihu, the general did not show any joy on his face, but was still a little gloomy, because after Baihu fell to the ground, the deputy Baihu quickly took over the command.It didn't cause unrest.

When zooming in on the picture, thousands of Huai soldiers risked their lives to cross the river, and the death of a hundred households was nothing more than a trivial matter.Has no effect on the overall situation.

"Brother Thirteen, the Huai army is attacking fiercely. If it continues like this, it will be very bad for us!"

A general from Xichu came over and said in a low voice.

The general of Western Chu who made the move just now was Xiang Han, a son of the Xiang family who was in charge of guarding Tanghe.

Xiang Han glanced at the battlefield in front of him, and said solemnly: "Our army guards the river and occupies a favorable location. If our army kills one brother, the Huai army will fall three. I don't believe it. The Huai army dares to fight us all the time." consumption!"

As he spoke, he looked at the Huai army formation on the east bank.Eye dew sneered.

In the Huai army formation on the east bank.

Mai Tiezhang withdrew his gaze from looking at the opposite bank, and began to focus on the pontoon bridge that was built. This pontoon bridge was built by the craftsmen of the construction company at a very fast speed.

Many temporarily built ferries were used as bridge bodies, covered with wooden boards, and the simple pontoon bridge was completed.

Thousands of soldiers took the ferry, in addition to attracting the attention of the enemy, the main purpose was to prevent the enemy from using fireboats to attack the pontoon bridge upstream, causing the pontoon bridge to burn...

All in all, the purpose of Mai Tieshang is to build a floating bridge.

He will launch a general attack only when the pontoon bridge is built.

If there was a problem with the pontoon bridge, it would be a disaster for the soldiers of the Huai Army who crossed the river to attack, and the entire army would be wiped out... In the history of Yuan World, he, Mai Tiezhang, suffered a lot from this point.

Leading the vanguard to cross the river to attack the enemy, but the pontoon bridge was short, and the follow-up support failed to keep up. As a result, he was full of bravery, but in the end he was piled to death by small soldiers.

The lesson of blood made Mai Tiezhang decide to stick to it.

Zhou Fengshu rode beside him on a war horse, sometimes looking at the pontoon bridge, and sometimes looking at the thousands of soldiers who were rushing to the opposite bank on a ferry to drive a nail.

With his right hand tightly holding the mixed iron spear, he was ready to charge at any time.

Zhou Fengshu is brave and resourceful, and can understand Mai Tiezhang's thoughts.

I don't know how long it took.

Thousands of soldiers rushed to the other side of the river and formed a round formation to resist the siege of the Western Chu soldiers. Behind them, the pontoon bridge had already extended to the beach.

Xiang Han of the Western Chu Army kept giving orders, trying to destroy the pontoon bridge with a catapult.

However, it is obvious that the catapults built by the craftsmen of Xichu are not yet so accurate.

"General Zhou!"

At this time, Mai Tiezhang's eyes fell on Zhou Fengshu, and said in a deep voice: "The pontoon bridge has been built, you take your troops and horses, cross the river immediately, and set up a foothold on the opposite bank!"

"The last general takes orders!"

Uncle Zhou Feng had been waiting for such an order for a long time, and he followed Mai Tiezhang this time to make meritorious service.

And credit can only be obtained on the battlefield.

boom!
Uncle Zhou Feng got off his horse and took the three thousand elites from his headquarters onto the pontoon bridge, holding a shield in one hand and a long spear in the other, and galloped towards the opposite bank at the fastest speed.

kill!

His speed was as fast as lightning, and as soon as he ran to the other side of the pontoon bridge, he smashed himself into the Xichu army.

The stellar energy roared, and a blood-red evil energy emerged from behind him. The evil energy condensed into the shape of a bull. Under the blessing of the power of Dharma, Uncle Zhou Feng seemed to have really turned into a rampant bull with nowhere to go.

He went on a rampage and killed all the Xichu soldiers who came to besiege in a blink of an eye.

"Who is this person?"

Xiang Han in the distance saw this scene, and his expression changed immediately.

At this time, no one answered Xiang Han's question.

After Zhou Panlong and Zhou Fengshu defected to the Huai army, their reputations did not spread. Xiang Han thought that the only person who would face him was Mai Tiezhang, a seventh-rank general.

"Two seventh-rank generals, with our current strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop them! Thirteenth brother, Yafu said, let us rely on the terrain and resist steadily. If the situation is not good, we will retreat decisively!"

"In my opinion, we can withdraw to the city first before the forward of the Huai army crosses the river..."

Said General Xichu who spoke just now.

He is also a member of the Xiang clan in the Western Chu Army, so he dared to speak like that in front of Xiang Han.

Xiang Han gritted his teeth and watched Zhou Fengshu tearing apart the formation. On the pontoon, the Huai army was crossing the river quickly.

He could only say: "The order is for the army to retreat one by one, so that General Ji Bu, who is stationed in Tanghe City, will come to meet him!"

The Huai army came too fast.

If the Western Chu army is given enough time, Xiang Han can guarantee that the Huai army will never let the Huai army build a pontoon bridge to cross the river so easily.

However, this sniper attack also caused the Huai army to lose two to three thousand elites, which was a small gain.

Xiang Han gave an order.

After the Western Chu army left a part of the soldiers and horses, the other soldiers quickly retreated. Zhou Fengshu wanted to take advantage of the situation and charge, and concealed the kill from behind to make the Western Chu army collapse when they retreated.

But Xiang Han had been prepared for a long time. As soon as Zhou Fengshu chased after him, Xiang Han personally led a thousand cavalry in black armor and came crashing down. A single impact caused Zhou Fengshu's troops to be damaged by hundreds.

Facing such a fierce cavalry.

Uncle Zhou Feng could only give up the pursuit and put the safety of the pontoon as the most important thing.

"The spies reported that in addition to the [-] Overlord's cavalry, the Western Chu Army also trained [-] Jiangdong cavalry... These ten thousand cavalry are the reserve army of the Overlord's cavalry!"

"Now it seems that the Jiangdong cavalry is indeed powerful!"

Mai Tiezhang had already led the striker across the river, and seeing this scene, he couldn't help frowning slightly.
