Latest website: Huangfu Fu turned to the messenger beside him and said in a deep voice: "Send the arrows to let the ambush troops in the river come ashore and cut off Liu Yu's retreat. I want to see what Liu Yu will do when the ambush appears behind him?!"
Liu Yu's brows were furrowed tightly. At this moment, his circular battle group had retreated to a place about 150 steps away from the bridge entrance, while the archers on the right were far away.
About a hundred steps back, we also began to evacuate towards the bridge entrance. However, on the river bank under the bridge, there were bursts of dazzling white light, flashing from time to time. Obviously, there were still Chu troops under the river bank behind.
ambush!
Next to Liu Yu, Xiang Jing said loudly: "Ji Nu, what should we do now? I'm afraid there is danger at the bridge and we can't go back!"
Liu Yu nodded: "Yes, Huangfu Fu is indeed powerful. His shield guards have always stayed in the Chinese army. If we had attacked just now, we would have fallen directly into a siege. But we did not fall into the trap. Instead, we retreated to the bridge. Huangfu Fu
At this time, all the arrangements were revealed, and the ambush on the river bank appeared. In fact, this was what I expected!"
Tan Shao asked curiously: "Brother Jinu, do you know he has an ambush?"
Liu Yu sighed: "I only found out after crossing the bridge that Huangfu spent so much effort to lead us across the river. It was impossible without an ambush. He just wanted to surround us here. Originally, I wanted to attack him with all my strength."
If he wants to surround us with the central army, his forces will inevitably be dispersed. If the central army is weak, there will be opportunities to take advantage of it. However, he still underestimated Huangfu Shiki. He also laid a trap in the central army, but the left and right wings were completely released."
Tan Zhi shook his head: "Then it's still too late for us to break out to the left!"
Liu Yu shook his head: "No, although the left side is flat ground, the enemy army is ten times larger than ours. If we retreat in this direction at this time, as long as the enemy army follows and pursues us, we will be captured. For this plan, there is only one step
Stay here without retreating, fighting the enemy and waiting for our reinforcements!"
Xiang Jing's eyes widened: "But, we have less than 200 people now. Even if we include Pingzi's archers, we will only have less than 400 people. How can we defend it? Why don't we go down to the river bank first to clear out the Chu army's ambush?
Cross the bridge and go back!"
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "This is exactly what Huangfu Fu wants us to do. He has few troops. If he divides his troops again, he will not be able to fight. Now he is using heavy shields and long spears to force us. We just gave them our shields."
They were shot away with hook crossbows, and there was no way to engage in a head-on confrontation. Fortunately, all the enemy archers had left. Tieniu, take a hundred people right away and go back to the river bank to drive away the enemy ambush at the bridge. Hurry!
"
Xiang Jing's expression changed: "Take away a hundred people? What should we do here?"
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "I will lead thirty long-armed men here, without raising their shields, in a circular formation to resist the advance of their shield guards and buy you time. Remember, you must clear the bridgehead and then let the
The seriously injured brothers will be withdrawn to Hedong first. Then I will ask the others to withdraw in batches!"
Xiang Jing gritted his teeth: "No, it's too dangerous. Besides, a hundred people probably won't be able to clear the enemy ambush on the river bank."
Liu Yu's eyes flashed coldly: "First let the fifty archers withdraw quickly, and then shoot at the enemy troops under the river bank in the east of the river, forcing them to go ashore or into the water. I only need a safe space of twenty steps at the end of the bridge.
.Remember, you must keep the bridge and not let it be chopped down by the enemy!"
Tan Shao's expression changed: "Oh, what if the enemy destroyed the bridge just now?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "They were too late. When we came over, the bridge was intact. Later I asked Pingzi to guard the bridge until we charged, and they didn't catch up. Moreover, Chite and Liu Zhong led people at the bridge.
We are guarding and not leaving. I don’t think the Chu army has destroyed the bridge yet, but we have to hurry up. In another moment, I am afraid that these ambush soldiers in the river will cut down the bridge. Tieniu, I will leave my rear to you!"
Without saying a word, Xiang Jing turned around and limped towards the rear, shouting as he ran: "The second team on the left, the third team on the right, the fourth team on the right, the second team on the back, there are still those who can move and breathe.
Everyone, follow me back to the bridge!"
Liu Yu looked at Tan Daoji on the side: "Daoji, your uncle is not here now, you are the commander of the archery team. Did you hear my arrangement just now? Immediately lead the archers back to the east of the bridge to cover our breakout."
Tan Daoji gritted his teeth: "But if all our archers withdraw, you don't have a big shield and you have to face the enemy's archers' shooting, which will be in trouble!"
Liu Yu said in a deep voice: "So you have to move quickly. As long as we control the bridge, we can withdraw."
Tan Daoji sighed, waved his hand, greeted the archers who were running from the right, and ran towards the bridge. Xiang Jing had already led people to cross the river bank, holding up his spear and shooting under the river embankment.
On the river banks on both sides fifty steps away from the bridge, there were already soldiers of the Chu army in light armor climbing up the river banks and starting to form formations on both sides.
Beside Liu Yu, there were only about thirty soldiers holding long spears, and they were among the thirty soldiers with the fewest scars on their bodies. Ding Hao, who was as strong as an ox, was also holding a long spear, standing beside Liu Yu.
A step or so behind Yu, his leg had been bandaged and smeared with marching hemostasis powder, but there was still faint blood seeping out from the bandage.
Liu Yu frowned: "Brother Mengniu, I told the wounded to go back first, why don't you withdraw?"
Ding Yi laughed: "Brother Jinu, my injury is considered light among the brothers. Anyway, I don't have to run or jump, so my leg can still hold up."
Liu Yu's eyes swept over the more than thirty warriors behind him. Each of them had at least two or more scars on their bodies. Some of them had two or three arrows stuck in them. They had no time to pull them out, and all of them were covered in wounds.
It's blood, and I don't know if it's my own or the enemy's, but no one has the slightest trace of fear or awe in their eyes. The battle has reached this point, and every one of the Beifu warriors has put their lives at risk.
Liu Yu said loudly: "Comrade Jingba, in this battle, we join forces to face the enemy. We can only die standing up, not live on our knees. If we hold on for a moment longer, our chances of reinforcements arriving will be much greater. As long as I, Liu Yu, are there,
Keep your tone, we will never let the Chu army cross the bridge!"
Ding Hao and others shouted loudly: "We will not retreat until we fight to the death, but I am the only one in Beifu!"
Liu Yu turned his head, pulled down the evil ghost mask on his helmet, and with a pair of shining eyes, he was already facing him. Less than twenty steps away, the long branch was flat, like a steel forest, facing him.
The heavy shield phalanx of the Chu army coming from the side took a step forward, jumped out of the formation, stood at the position two steps ahead of us, and shouted loudly: "Now, meet the enemy!"
