Chapter 373

He said it very much, but when it comes to doing it in detail, Liu Heima was still very careful. He pulled his horse back and walked for a while, hiding outside the distance that even the most powerful crossbow in the world could not shoot, before dismounting and resting.

The more than two thousand cavalrymen of the former army, except for some people who were on guard, all followed him away and dismounted and rested.

After running for a day, he immediately started fighting without rest. That was something that the invincible and authentic Mongolian talents could do. The Han soldiers did not have the ability and had to recover their physical strength.

Liu Heima sat on a picked saddle, looked at the river bank and wooden walls in the distance, turned his head and thought, looking for a hole to break through later.

He twisted his head again, wanting to find a relatively high place nearby, check the defense and number of people behind the wooden wall from the height, so as to better find the weakness of defense. But after looking at it, the plains are all flat. The impact of Jishui for thousands of years has turned this area into a vast plain. Although the crops and rice fields in the fields are trampled on by war horses, it can still be seen that this plain is a good crop field, and it will definitely be green in the harvest season and the rice orchids are fragrant.

Except for the towering Daba Mountains nearly ten miles away, there is not a high ground within a radius of about ten miles. There are some behind the wooden walls, but it is impossible to get through.

Daba Mountain is too high and steep again. You can see that it is not easy to climb by standing here. Liu Heima estimated it and thought it would be better to forget it.

In the past, when the two armies were equally opposed to each other, Liu Heima would order the trees to be cut down and a tower to peek at the movement behind the wooden wall, but at this moment, he felt that there was no need to go and trouble.

However, I still feel that even if it is troublesome, I should do this with a steady person. Liu Chongjin, a thousand households, is the only one.

He held a water-skin bag and handed it to Liu Heima, while suggesting: "Sir, the situation of the enemy ahead is unknown, and we are in a hurry again. In order to be stable, should we wait and wait until we find out the situation on the other side and make plans?"

"No need." Liu Heima Niu drank a mouthful of the sweet cold water in the leather bag and said with a big thorn: "We are running here for a rest. The movement is so great. If it were ordinary troops, they would have been crowded with people on the wall to guard the wall. Now look, there was no sound behind the wooden wall, and the flag was not shaken. Maybe there were only three or two cats and dogs trembling behind. Lord Kublai Khan was chasing behind. If he knew that we were delaying our time because of some scattered soldiers, we would have left a laughing stock."

"This..." Liu Chongjinshen agreed, but he knew more about Wanyan Chengsi's news than Liu Heima, so he said again: "The Jin people here are the remaining troops of the Zhongxiao Army that year, and Fan Yongji could not do anything to use troops for many years, just fear... "

"Hahaha! Liu Chongjin, Liu Chongjin, you have never seen Fan Yongji's ability. He has been greedy for comfort and wealth over the years and has long forgotten how much strength he should use to hold a knife. His wealthy soldiers are probably difficult to suppress a bandit. What he can't do is not worth mentioning for our tiger and wolf army." Liu Heima laughed and wiped the water droplets from the corner of his mouth and looked at him disdain: "Don't worry, the two thousand men here are all climbed out of the pile of dead people, and they will surely break through after rushing!"

He was extremely confident in his words. Liu Chongjin was also infected by him. He felt that he was really worried, so he laughed a few times, then took out a few pieces of jerky and handed them to Liu Heima to satisfy his hunger.

Liu Heima chewed a few pieces, then stood up, waved his hand, and shouted, "Okay, it's almost enough, set up the drum and prepare for the roar!"

With his orders, a cowhide drum stood a little far behind him. With the rhythm of the drum beats, the Han soldiers began to gather together. As for their horses, they were all collected together and pressed behind.

There are three places in the formation, each with three thousand households leading each, facing a section of wooden wall. Liu Heima himself did not go into battle, so he rode on his mount again, so that he could command the battle higher.

The wooden wall is very long, extending nearly three miles from the junction of Jishui and Han River to the direction of the mountains. No matter how far away it is, because of the sudden extension of a ridge belonging to the Daba Mountains, it is like a natural and insurmountable city wall that cannot be passed.

In other words, no matter how many people Liu Heima brought, he could only line up in front of the wooden wall to attack the city. Unless he was determined to be willing to take his men and horses to climb over the mountain peak of Jiyun, which only the brave and flexible herb collectors could climb, otherwise he would not be able to stay here anywhere.

In fact, he was not that far away, and thoughts like climbing did not flash in his mind at all. He optimistically believed that this wooden wall would be easily crushed by himself like the one he encountered in front.

Look at the sky, there is no wind or clouds, the sun is just right, it is a good weather for fighting.

The three cavalrymen in front of him who dismounted as infantry were already led by three thousand households to the starting position. These positions are also very particular, not just as you get equal distances between you and I get you. Two teams of people are very close and can be combined into a team at any time, hiding the meaning of concentrating strength and breaking through a little bit.

If the guards behind the wooden wall see that these two soldiers are powerful and deliberately concentrate their hands to deal with it, the third team will have an excellent opportunity.

The simple deployment reflects the ability of Liu Heima's veteran on the battlefield. He feels that this arrangement is enough.

I will be able to find a house that is not leaky in Jincheng tonight and I hope that those Jin people will not do things too hard. If they burn the city like Junzhou and escape will be too angry.

"Three-way drum!" Liu Heima narrowed his eyes and looked at the reaction behind the wooden wall. The Han soldiers in front were already within the range of the composite crossbow and could no longer approach slowly. At this moment, they needed to charge and get close quickly.

The drum beats suddenly became dense, and the sound of the drum beats the tiles in the rainstorm, instantly lifting people's hearts.

"kill!"

More than two thousand soldiers shouted together, like three torrents pouring down from the mountains, rushing quickly towards the wooden wall that still had no reaction.

The Han soldiers ran fast and the faster they ran, the less likely they were to be shot by the guards.

One hundred feet away from the river, there was no response behind the wall.

Fifty feet, still no response.

Twenty feet, but there was no response.

Liu Heima narrowed his eyes and looked at it calmly without blinking his eyelids.

I arrived by the river. The river surface, which was less than ten feet wide, and opposite the silt area by the river, was a wooden wall that was more than one person high, and there was still no reaction behind the wall.

Deadly silence.

Is there no one behind?

The Han soldiers running in front had such thoughts in their minds. They held their shields to protect their bodies, and the expected shooting did not appear, which surprised and delighted them.

The most dangerous moment is coming soon. When you wade through the river and step on the mud, you are a living target. As long as you move to the bottom of the wooden wall, there will be basically no problem.

This is an optimistic idea. Of course, Liu Heima would not think so. On the contrary, he felt a stronger and stronger sense of crisis in his heart. He felt that this time he might have encountered a tough situation.

Whether the army is strong or not depends on the number of people, but whether it is calm and obeying the command. If there are more people, you will stop and insist on running, and you will have to defeat the battle.

The silent army is the most terrifying.

Liu Heima couldn't help but squeeze the whip in his hand, and the whip made of cowhide was twisted into a twist.

The soldiers running in the front began to wade across the river. The river water looked very shallow, and they didn't even reach their knees, and anyone could walk over.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of Han soldiers began to go into the water, and for a while, people were everywhere on the muddy river beach.

Although they were moving very quickly, their feet were covered with wet mud and they would definitely not be as fast as they were on the shore.

Liu Heima's hand tightened a little more, and he knew that it was time to come.

As he expected, behind the wooden wall at the far end, there was a light sound of "pan" sound, which was somewhat like a green bamboo being pulled by curves, and then suddenly let go of the bounce.

"Be careful!" someone shouted shrillly: "The enemy has fired an arrow!"

Behind the wooden wall, a cloud rose for no reason, not much like a cloud, but more like a locust or a black rain.

Immediately afterwards, a sound of bowstrings sounded one after another. Countless small holes were opened on the wooden wall at the same time. Crossbows extended out from the inside, aiming the sharp arrows at the Han soldiers struggling in the heart of the river, and shooting them violently.
