Let's say that after Qu Yi's troops defeated the left wing of the Eastern Army, they received Liu Bei's oral instructions and immediately crossed the Yishui Floating Bridge without stopping. It was like a sharp blade penetrated the body, but left without any flesh and blood.
.
Under the leadership of Jushu and Shenpei, most of the Eastern Army's evacuation direction was toward the northeast, but many people thought: "If we can cross the river from the pontoon to the south bank to meet the Marshal's main force, we can always save a line."
Life." So tens of thousands of people lowered their military flags, thinking that the pontoon bridge in the south would collapse. And Qu Yi's troops were riding behind, like driving dough into a pot, and groups of Dongren were squeezed in.
Go to the river.
Looking from a distance, the pontoon bridge was crowded with people, and on the river bank beside the bridge, there were also countless Dongren who were pushed into the river by the broken soldiers coming from behind. The Yishui River roared away and swept away the people and horses who fell into the water.
The turbans and robes floated continuously downstream.
Prior to this, Chen Chong's students were also assigned to various formations to participate in the battle as warlords. The one assigned to Qu Yi's army was Deng Zhi. Following Qu Yi's cavalry, he quickly rushed to the river. He saw
The surrendered Eastern infantry along the road were densely packed on the river bank, but the soldiers were still rushing forward and had no time to deal with these people. So they shot at the surrender on both sides indiscriminately, shooting down many of them like haystacks.
.
Deng Zhi reined in his horse by the river bank and saw a group of knights running across the river bank cheering. The man at the head held up a long bamboo pole with a blood-stained human head on the tip. People were shouting: "Thieves of Guangyang Prefecture"
Gongsun Ji was beheaded!"
At the riverside, they intercepted a group of Dongren infantry. The knights rushed in first, stabbed the Dongren with the tips of their spears, then jumped off their horses and cut off their heads. For a time, the heads were piled up as high as a hill, and the headless corpses
Then he was pushed into the river.
A prisoner of war sat slumped on the ground, with his hammer head closed and his eyes closed, waiting to die. Deng Zhi held the ring of the knife with his left hand, and the handle of the knife with his right hand, holding it flat on the back of the prisoner's neck. He squinted at the river water at his feet, the bloody sewage.
The fishy smell stirred up and hit his leather boots. This made him feel a convulsion in his body, and a feeling of nausea came over him. His hand softened, and he couldn't help but place the back of the knife on the back of the kneeling man's neck.
"Bo Miao!" the governor behind shouted at him. He originally wanted to recite "Shang Shu" silently, but was frightened back by this shout. He raised the broad-backed knife above his head, picked up the knife and slashed it hard.
, the knife traced a ferocious trajectory, and was slashed with a hoarse roar.
After dealing with the prisoners of war, everyone sat down to rest. Deng Zhi looked towards the pontoon in the distance and saw several tall Westerners wearing thick black armor. Under the leadership of a knight in golden armor, they rushed forward and used big sticks to fight with them.
The giant ax drove the Dongren next to him into the water. The knight in golden armor was obviously Qu Yi. Deng Zhi thought to himself: "It is said that one general determines the will of the three armies. Today I saw it." Then he thought, "
I’m afraid we’ve already won this battle today!”
However, not long after, I heard a dozen messengers coming from the north, shouting to the Westerners resting along the road: "There is a change on the other side! There is a change on the other side! Gather! Gather!" They gradually separated and headed towards
Various scattered and disorderly galloping announcements.
One of them galloped towards Deng Zhi and the others, reined in his horse very quickly and stopped in front, and then said loudly: "Get up and gather! The main force of the bandit army has arrived! Are you going to sit here and wait for defeat?" Everyone ate a meal.
Shocked, I quickly looked towards the pontoon, and saw a field of brilliant armored knights approaching against the light. Under the huge snake flag in the yellow sky, countless military flags were pressing down like huge clouds.
Before anyone could think about it, hundreds of armored soldiers came forward with halberds in hand and launched a thunderous attack on the three pontoon bridges. The Easterners on the river bank began to rain arrows on the Westerners on the bridge.<
/p>
However, this could not shake the dozens of warriors who rushed in front to guard the bridge. They were all burly men carefully selected by Qu Yi. Each of them was eight feet tall, and they were now covered in clothing from head to toe.
Wearing thick iron armor and carrying big sticks and long axes, he didn't feel afraid at all when he saw these Dongren rushing onto the bridge. Instead, he showed a cruel smile that had been hidden for a long time.
Instead of retreating, they advanced and attacked anyone they saw. Anyone who wanted to fight or who had no time to dodge was knocked to the ground. They continued to fight like this for two full seconds, and those who were knocked down along the way were turned into horses.
Arrows from the East were shot at them, but it was extremely difficult to penetrate because of the thick armor. They watched as their bodies were covered with arrow feathers, like dozens of crazy beasts, quickly clearing away the incoming enemies on the bridge.
.
The people in the East who were blocked looked at them in surprise. Some people exclaimed: "Where did this iron beast come from!"
When Dian Wei, who was famous for his martial arts among the Easterners, saw this, he couldn't help but feel itchy hands, and immediately petitioned Cao Cao: "Marshal, give me twenty tiger soldiers, and I will seize the bridge!"
Cao Cao waved his hand slightly, pointed at the ferocious beasts on the bridge and said, "Time is running out, there is no need to fight with them." Then he looked back and asked Guo Jiadao, "How long will the crossbow machine last?"
Guo Jia lowered his head and replied: "I have already urged you, and it will be there in just a moment!"
Not long after, people in front of the bridge heard the sound of cows and horses neighing. They looked towards the source of the sound and saw six giant crossbows pulled by horses and cows being pulled by long ropes to the front of the sergeants, and then slowly pushed to the front of the pontoon bridge.
. This caused a commotion among the Westerners. Some veterans who had gone through the Bohai War recognized it: This was a giant crossbow that was not used during the Bohai War and had to be abandoned to kill the enemy in the end! One crossbow requires the cooperation of multiple people.
Only then could he draw his bow, and one shot could reach a thousand steps away, and he could easily penetrate even the thickest armor. Unfortunately, the terrain in Beipi was small, and he could only charge with cavalry, so it was useless. Unexpectedly, they were all captured by the Easterners.
, brought this place again!
I saw Dongren begin to string up the arrows step by step. Six five-foot-long arrows were carefully mounted on the crossbow. The sharp and fist-sized arrows shone in the sun, and then slowly aimed at the iron beasts.
.
This made the men on the bridge feel a chill. Under the aim of such arrows, they almost smelled the stink of death. Some tried to use corpses as cover, and some began to retreat slowly, but most of them
There is no understanding of the power of a giant crossbow, just like a mouse never knows the strength of a giant elephant's legs.
"Let it go!"
Guo Jia gave an order, and six crossbows fired at the same time. People in the east and west saw the giant arrows hitting the pontoon, and an extremely horrific scene followed: those who used the corpses as cover were penetrated together with the corpses; those who tried to dodge
Some people were thrown into the river by flying arrows; some people were even scratched on their elbows by arrows, and blood gushed out along the gaps in their armor, and the broken bones could be seen in them. The first round of the bed crossbow killed less than ten people, but the blow to morale was huge. The Westerners on the pontoon seemed to be living targets, with no real space to hide. If the crossbow could not be destroyed forward,
The only result of being on the crossbow is dead and wounded. But once you attack the crossbow, you will inevitably leave the pontoon and be besieged by dozens of people from the east.
After Qu Yi understood this, he thought to himself: "If we continue to fight like this, sooner or later we will all die here, wouldn't it be unfair?" He immediately called for his relatives and retreated. But after this retreat, more than a thousand Dongren also followed him.
Rushing onto the pontoon bridge, the cavalry took the lead and the infantry followed, quickly occupying the entire river bridge like a swarm of bees.
At this time, Chen Chong had already organized tens of thousands of reinforcements to arrive, trying to stop the Easterners from advancing at the bridgehead on the north bank of the Yishui River. However, Qu Yi retreated and had no time to communicate, resulting in unclear coordination, and whether the two sides could retreat or advance.
They entered, shouting at each other, and became a mess. The Easterners' vanguard was led by Yue Jin. How could they miss such an opportunity? They immediately organized more than a hundred knights in the front line, focused on the chaos, and launched an attack. The Westerners could not organize an effective attack.
Resistance, chaos soon turned into wailing, and then collapse.
Deng Zhi was among the crowd and tried to follow the general to counterattack, but more and more people from the east were crossing the river, and the rout of the army seemed endless, and would not be stopped by a few small heads.
Stop. Deng Zhi felt for a moment that he was being coerced by something, but for a moment he felt that he was moving forward down-to-earth, completely unaware of whether he was advancing or retreating.
After struggling like this for two quarters of an hour, the defeated troops in front of them ran away, and then they saw the Eastern cavalry slashing them cleanly and neatly. The first one killed the governor who insisted on moving forward. The governor died.
, Deng Zhi's hundred people also collapsed. Before Deng Zhi started to escape, he saw a majestic two-foot yellow flag crossing the pontoon. The twisted and majestic giant snake seemed to be really flying under the agitation of the strong wind.
It soared like a dragon into the clouds. And what followed the flag across the river was the deafening cheers and shouts of the people from the East.
Deng Zhi turned around and ran away. Only then did he realize clearly that the ripples of the rout were so wide. As far as he could see, there was almost no Westerner who was fighting back. Even though there were flags in the distance trying to organize the wave in the opposite direction.
It won't be long before he sees the crimson flags of the Han army fall into the dust one after another. Deng Zhi's heart is bright: the situation on the floating bridge has begun to affect the overall situation.
As a soldier, he could only run wildly. Deng Zhi's physical strength was slightly better than that of ordinary soldiers, but after running desperately for a while, he felt that his legs were getting heavier. He didn't know how long it had passed, and how many people were around him.
He had forgotten all about it, let alone where his teammates were, but the shouts of death behind him were like shadows that could not be shaken away.
Just when he was desperate, someone suddenly called his name: "Bo Miao, Bo Miao." He looked subconsciously and found out that it was a knight who retreated with him. The knight took off his skin and stomach with great effort and asked
He stretched out his hand and Deng Zhi recognized it. Isn't this his classmate Lu Yi? Why is he here too? But to his surprise, Lu Yi had a horse and called him at this time, obviously wanting to take him to escape with him.
He quickly grabbed Lu Yi's hand and rode, but when he was about to speak, an arrow was suddenly nailed into Lu Yi's back. Lu Yi frowned, but soon relaxed it again. He let go of Deng Zhi and immediately followed.
Following the ups and downs of the horse's back, he fell under the horse and disappeared into the dust.
