Under the command of Zhao Guanghan, the Han army launched three consecutive attacks on the boundary bridge.

By the time the last feint ended, it was already ugly time.

Seeing the Han army retreating to the camp, the defenders couldn't help but cheer.

Although the Cypriot mercenaries defending the boundary bridge suffered far more casualties than the Han army, they were still excited.

The soldiers boasted about their achievements to each other, drank wine freely, and laughed heartily with strangers who spoke different languages.

Everyone felt that the Han army was nothing more than this, and the king was too timid.

Bai Li left some defenders behind and returned to the car formation to rest with great satisfaction.

It was so late and he didn't think the Han army would continue to attack after four defeats.

The coalition forces slept deeply that night, and the fatigue of the battle and the excitement of victory may have played a role.

Liju was also affected by the atmosphere and felt much more relaxed.

But he always felt that the Han people should not only have such a little strength, and he vaguely felt that the Han army was planning something.

Although the soldiers were elated, as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, he must not let down his guard.

Liju seems to think that the battle for the bridge will definitely be the top priority tomorrow, if he can hold on to the bridge.

That would be equivalent to blocking the throat of the Han army's invasion, forcing them to return without success.

Time passed little by little and it soon came to Mao hour.

This is the darkest moment before dawn. It is also the moment when people are most tired and trapped.

The night sky above Kuqashui was as dark as ink. The left and right wings of the Han army, led by Ma Han and Guo Kai respectively, quietly left the camp like eagles flapping their wings.

Mahan on the right led his army to sneak along the river bank, found a ford in the north and began to ford the crossing.

The left wing was led by Guo Kai and headed south to find a place to cross the river. He soon discovered that the water here was deep and the river was wide, making it impossible to cross without boats.

"Two or three sons, cut down the wood quickly..."

Guo Kai immediately asked his men to cut down trees and urgently build rafts.

It is said that when a large army advances, it "opens roads across mountains and builds bridges when encountering water." How can a mere river stop the Han army's progress?

As the sky grew brighter, Zhang Yue personally led the Chinese army to advance towards the front of the bridge.

The allied sentries spotted the incoming Han army from a distance.

"Woooooooo..."

The sound of warning horns resounded through the sky.

The garrison soldiers were awakened from their sleep, and one by one appeared at the bridge in a panic at the urging of the officers.

Here Zhang Yue first ordered the forwards to conduct a tentative attack.

Bai Li directed the archers to respond with collective rapid fire.

Looking at the forward who was stopped by the crossbow arrows, Zhang Yue was not impatient. He half-raised his arm contemptuously and issued a new order.

"Siege camp, set up artillery!"

The siege battalion located at the rear of the army quickly took action.

The first thing that appeared in the eyes of the coalition forces was the bed crossbow of the Han army.

"Shield car forward!"

Bai Li naturally knew the power of the Han army's crossbows, and immediately ordered the soldiers at the rear to push the huge shield cart to the front of the formation.

"retreat!"

Then let the soldiers retreat behind the shield vehicle and try to use the shield vehicle formation to resist the crossbow attack.

There was nothing wrong with his response, but the real trump card of the Han army this time was not the bed crossbow.

The siege camp was busy for about half an hour, and the seven tall catapults were finally assembled.

"The Han army sends stone chariots!"

Bai Li and the Kucha people who had experienced the Battle of Yancheng three years ago finally recognized the weapons of the Han army.

It's just that this time the Han army's stone-producing chariot was larger than that in the Battle of Yancheng.

Looking at the stone carts at the rear of the Han army, the Qiuchi people all turned pale.

"What is that?"

The Cypriot mercenaries and the Kangju commander asked Bai Li at the same time.

Bai Li couldn't help but swallowed, "That's a Han slingshot!"

The two people who asked looked at Bai Li's expression and felt vaguely uneasy.

At this time, the catapults in the Han army camp were ready to attack.

With a short shout, several gunners pulled open the hook on the gun barrel.

The unconstrained front weight box suddenly sank, and the long pole at the back quickly bounced up. The stone bullet on the tail tip was pushed out hard, drawing an arc in the air and flying towards the distant city.

The huge wooden frame of the cannon shook, sending up a cloud of dust. The Han gunner couldn't help but turn around and cover his eyes with his sleeves.

The stone bullets let out a deadly scream and flew towards the defenders' positions.

The surprised Saiyans and Kangju people watched helplessly as huge rocks drew arcs in the sky and flew towards them.

The trebuchets of the siege battalions began to show their power. The counterweight trebuchets improved by these craftsman battalions were much more powerful.

This new type of catapult can also throw 600 kilograms of stone projectiles 250 steps away.

The range is far beyond the river surface, enough to cover the positions of the bridgehead defenders.

If you fire lighter stone bullets, the range can be further.

Seven trebuchets continuously threw stone bombs weighing hundreds of kilograms at the coalition positions on the bridge. With loud noises, debris and dust flew into the sky, and the simple horse-fighting and defensive positions instantly fell into pieces.

Even tall and heavy shield vehicles are completely unable to reach the attack of stone bullets.

Every stone bullet generously brought death to the defenders.

The soldiers panicked and fled around like headless flies.

Because the space is narrow, stone bullets can easily smash them into pulp.

"Back a hundred steps!"

Bai Li calmly gave the order.

The Cypriot mercenaries with rich combat experience first recovered from the shock.

With the assistance of Cypriot mercenaries, Kucha and Kangju soldiers also recovered.

Under the command of their respective officers, they retreated slightly and continued to guard the bridgehead, not intending to give up.

However, a warning soon came from the river bank, and the sentry discovered that a group of Han cavalry had crossed the river from the north.

This was the right-wing cavalry led by Mahan. They all waded through the shallow water and went around behind the bridge defenders.

"Second and Third Sons, it's time to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds..."

"kill……"

This time, Mahan did not care about his horse power. After reaching the enemy's rear, he immediately launched a charge.

Under his leadership, the Han cavalry formed a dense formation and came like a tide.

Bai Li was shocked and secretly said, "No," and someone ordered him to notify Li Ju in the camp behind him.

On the one hand, he commanded Kangju's cavalry to launch a counterattack against the Han army.

"Kill!"

The Kangju cavalry shouted and bravely faced the Han cavalry.

"Ping gun!"

The Han army's cavalry and lances were leveled, and there was a forest of spears.

The cold light of the gun tip is intimidating.

At this time, the speed of the cavalry on both sides has reached its peak, and the two sides are about to collide.

"Wan Sheng!"

The Han cavalry roared in unison, and the next second the two cavalry collided.

At the moment of contact, Han Qi's spear tore into pieces the enemy in front of him without any movement.

The spears they held up were like the legendary devil's weapons that seek life, carrying wind and death.

The Kangju cavalry bravely raised the weapon to resist.

But it is meaningless. They feel that they are not fighting with human beings, but fighting with a city wall.

They are proud of their riding techniques, and they are useless in front of the Han Army.

Han rides on the wind, passing the thunder, leaving only countless corpses behind him.
