The beginning is the emperor

Chapter 364 Battle of crossing the river!

Day two.

It was barely dawn, but the trumpets had already been blown, all the soldiers had been assembled, and all the siege equipment was ready.

From the east defense line of Wan State to the Shun State area in the south, all the soldiers of Xin State are ready.

Han Kuangrui and Zhong Lifei were all sitting on horses, looking at the city not far ahead.

There are only three cities in Wan's eastern defense line. Although there are only three cities, it is actually extremely difficult to attack because these three cities are easy to defend but difficult to attack. The cities are equipped with all the supporting urns, plus there is a moat in front. The attack difficulty is really high.

The three cities must be attacked. If they go around, they will be attacked from two sides, and they will be surrounded by the Wan Kingdom and beat the dogs. In this situation, they have to push through step by step and pull out these three cities.

Another one is that there is a river between the lines of defense. If you want to attack the city, you have to cross the river first. However, Wan Kingdom has already deployed defenses along the line, so how to cross the river is still a problem.

Looking at the mud walls piled up on the other side of the river in the distance, the soldiers of Wan Kingdom behind were all bowing and arrowing, and Tian Dan's face was also extremely serious.

In the beginning, the purpose was to force the troops of Pin country back first. In this way, there would be loopholes in the defense line with fewer defensive troops, but it was unexpected that Pin country did not withdraw its troops.

On Hu Che'er's side, he had already led the soldiers into the border of Yuanshun country, and beside him was a chariot, and the person sitting in the chariot was obviously Yang Youji.

He carried an arrow pot on his back, and placed a bow and arrow beside him. In addition, there was also a prepared food box, which was filled with Dongpo meat. Ren Tian specially sent someone to deliver it. Replenish energy points. After all, archers consume too much energy points.

"The most important purpose this time is to take down a few cities in Shun Kingdom first. In this way, the southern gate of Wan Kingdom will be wide open. However, these cities are not easy to attack. They seem to be guarded by the generals of Youpin Kingdom."

Yang Youji said: "I know, it's Xu Rong from Pin Country. I sent someone to inquire about this person. It is said that he is a second-rank general in Pin Country. He has good strength and is a fierce general."

"A fierce general? I, Hu Che'er, killed a fierce general."

Yang Youji glanced at him: "You don't need to take action, I will shoot him to death with one arrow."

While talking, the city of Shun Kingdom could already be seen in the distance, and there were also banners waving on the city, and there were countless soldiers at the top of the city, all holding bows and arrows, waiting in full force.

Xu Rong at the head of the city stood there, wearing armor, and shouted: "You should retreat quickly."

Yang Youji snorted: "A defeated general also dares to speak bravely? Do you have the guts to take another arrow from me?"

Xu Rong didn't answer, the armor on his body was rustling by the wind.

And Hu Che'er didn't talk nonsense: "Attack!"

beep--

The dull sound of the horn blows directly, echoing in this vast plain.

beep--

The horn sounded at the same time, as well as the Xin Guo army along the river.

beep--

The dull sound of the horn echoed, Tian Dan drew his sword and pointed forward: "Attack!"

"attack!"

The spear in Han Kuangrui's hand pointed forward.

"attack."

Bai Qi also spat out two words.

"kill!"

Shocking shouts of killing rang out, and the New Army troops all started to advance forward, but the first ones to advance were the catapults and archers.

On the other side of the line of defense, when they saw the Xin Guo army attacking the city, the defenders started to shout: "Fire the arrows!"

"Fire arrows!"

The simple one-man-high city wall built with mud, the soldiers all bent their bows and set up arrows, and shot upwards.

Whoosh whoosh!
Countless black dots fell from the sky, forming a rain of arrows, covering the Xin Guo army.

"Quick, shield soldiers!"

A general from the Xin Kingdom roared.

"Hurry up and smash the catapult!"

"Archer ready!"

All kinds of noisy sounds, accompanied by the sound of weapons and armor colliding, filled the cold air with restlessness.

Countless arrows fell, and some soldiers of the Xin Kingdom who were advancing forward suddenly groaned. They were shot and fell down by the arrows. Many soldiers who were pushing forward with siege equipment were also hit by arrows.

But the New Kingdom's side quickly retaliated. After the first round of arrow rain, across the river, almost instantly, the New Kingdom's archers also bent their bows and fired arrows forward. .

Whoosh whoosh!
The arrows from the New Kingdom fly into the sky, and then fall like shooting stars.

"Find cover!"

The military generals on the Wan side were screaming loudly.

Many soldiers squatted directly against the city wall, and some soldiers who couldn't dodge were directly shot through the head by an arrow.

When the Xinguo soldiers completed a salvo, on this side, the Wanguo general immediately organized a second wave of salvos.

Across the river, the two sides started shooting directly, and their arrows even collided in the air. At the same time, the soldiers of the Xin Kingdom in front directly waded into the water and walked forward. As soon as they entered the water The speed of movement was obviously slow, not to mention that the soldiers at the front were still wearing armor made of iron ore from Xinguo. Once they entered the water and were soaked in water, they were extremely heavy.

This river is not too deep. With countless Xin Guo soldiers entering the water, it is only in the middle that you need to swim, and the water depth is considered to be above your head.

Whoosh whoosh!
There were countless arrows above their heads, and there was the sound of lapping water all around. At this time, Xinguo's catapults were also in position, and they were also projecting stones.

Huge stones smashed directly on those simple city walls, and with a bang, even the people hiding behind the city walls were directly smashed to death.

"Fight the arrows!"

On the side of Wan Kingdom, some soldiers were already aiming at the soldiers of the Xin Kingdom who were swimming in the river. There was no murmuring, an arrow pierced through his head, and the body floated on the water.

Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Some of the soldiers aimed specifically at the soldiers of the Xin Kingdom who were crossing the river. At this moment, these soldiers were simply good targets. As long as they shot correctly, the soldiers of the Xin Kingdom would surely die.

Soon, there were many corpses of Xin Guo soldiers floating on the river, and even some Xin Guo soldiers sank directly to the bottom of the river.

Bang!
The catapult launched an attack again, and the stones slammed down, and some soldiers of the Wan Kingdom and Pin Kingdom who were shooting arrows were directly crushed to death on the spot.

"what!"

On both sides of the river, there were continuous screams, and the exchange of bows and arrows never stopped. On Wan's side of the camp, as long as the soldiers in front died, the people behind them would immediately take over.

In just a few moments, there were really countless casualties on the river and on both sides of the river.

Looking from a distance, there are dense crowds of people on both sides, stretching along the river, shouting to kill the sky.
