The large floating bridge on Juehua Island has long since awakened.

There is a war supervisor guarding the bridge every 5 steps, holding a knife and stick in one hand and a torch in the other. Little flames stretch on the pontoon, like a long dark red dragon.

Last night, Jin Shiqi made careful arrangements——

A, 500 sailors from Denglai, Shandong Province were the first to cross the bridge. They were responsible for guarding Zhangshan Island, taking care of food and supplies, and settling the people. The sailors from Denglai, Shandong Province, welcomed this arrangement.

B, 200 Jinfu private soldiers guard the bridge on Juehua's side, maintaining order and preparing to resist the enemy. There are also 100 craftsmen staying here, responsible for cutting off the bridge at the last moment to avoid the enemy. The private soldiers said they will live up to their mission.

, the craftsmen were silent.

C. Feng Xiong’s 300 supervisory team (red team) guard the bridge on Zhangshan Island. They also have a heavy responsibility: supervise every common people crossing the bridge. Women, children, old and young can be allowed to pass, but men must carry one piece of supplies.

For example, food, wood, tents, and military supplies. Anyone who crosses the bridge empty-handed will be killed! All men who cross the bridge and put down their things must return to Juehua Island to continue transporting supplies.

Ding and Feng Hu's 300-man supervising team (blue team) guarded the bridge, urging the soldiers and civilians to move forward quickly, killing everyone they saw if they dared to delay.

These orders were announced everywhere, and the people were silent, no one dared to question. Now Jin Shiqi is famous on the island: he is a capable man, but also a ruthless man, he kills defeated soldiers without mercy, and he has a group of villains under him.

In the early morning of the 26th, when it was still dark, crowds gathered at the beach.

The sailors from Denglai were the first to cross the bridge, so the people panicked and immediately rushed forward risklessly. The Supervisory Team and the private soldiers of the Jin Mansion were not polite and immediately killed a few of the fast runners and put them to death.

The corpse was tied to the fence for public display, and the situation was brought under control.

From dusk to midnight yesterday, the strong men moved countless supplies and piled them on the beach. Large piles of food, fodder, wood, and bundles of tent materials, as well as weapons, carriages, pigs, horses, cattle and sheep. Now, the men

They all started to move things. The old, young, women and children got on first.

The children rushed to the front and screamed for joy. Some children were crying and holding on to the arms of adults, afraid to walk on the floating wooden boards. Some children were still in their mother's arms, still falling asleep.

.There are also some old men and women who run so fast...

The north wind is howling, the waves are gentle, and large ice floes have been piled up on both sides of the pontoon bridge. The wooden planks were trampled and shook wildly, and ice water poured up one after another. The bridge deck was frozen, and people kept falling down and even fell into the water.

I often see water blooming beside the bridge, and then relatives rush over and cry, and the supervising soldiers will throw a rope over. If you can grab the rope, you can drag it up. If you can't, just drag it up.

On the same bridge, not everyone can reach the other end of the bridge. This is fate.

According to Jin Shiqi's calculations, 200 people can pass on this 5-step wide bridge in one minute, and it will take 30,000 people one and a half hours to cross the bridge. However, men need to constantly turn back and carry goods, coupled with the uneven flow of people, I am afraid that three

Even an hour is not enough. But transporting food is also very important. I don’t know how long I will be trapped on the island now. The food consumed in a month is 10,000 dan.

It would be fine if God gave me another half day.

…

Jin Shiqi came to the beach with his family and soldiers.

The sun has not yet come out, and there are sparkling bonfires everywhere on the beach. Thousands of black figures are swaying, and there is white snow and ice underfoot. Everything is filled with gray and blue tones, making it look particularly cold.

There was a dark crowd on the other side of the bridge, with at least 10,000 people waiting to get on the bridge. "It's very quiet." Jin Shiqi stared at the crowd, "Someone must have been killed over there."

He guessed right. From the moment the pontoon bridge was opened to now, more than 40 people have been killed.

Jin Shiqi was only surrounded by Master Tian, ​​Su Moer and a few private soldiers. He looked around and found that an important person was missing. "Oops! I lost my brother!"….

Master Tian sighed: "There is no need to say it, he went to the battle."

Jin Shiqi felt awe-inspiring and held Mo'er's hand tightly. Mo'er was wearing a leather robe that she had made herself, and she was as fat as a little bear. Jin Shiqi pointed at the pontoon and was about to say something, when the little bear answered him firmly: "

If you don’t leave, I won’t leave either.”

Jin Shiqi said to the soldiers: "Take her away!"

Mo'er began to struggle, crying and saying things like "I will die or you will die." Jin Shiqi said again: "Tie her up!" The soldiers tied her up and carried her away.

Jin Shiqi and Master Tian came to the bridge. He began to calculate the supplies and estimated the number of people crossing the bridge.

Not long after, General Ji Shiden came riding on horseback with dozens of his soldiers. He shouted from a distance: "Is the bridge open?"

Jin Shiqi went up to greet him, "It's cleared. But the food only took three thousand dan."

"Only half an hour left...maybe not even half an hour." Ji Shiden lowered his voice, "The enemy has ten thousand cavalry, and this is just the vanguard. Who knows how many are behind! The dragon warriors will be here soon. You can take them.

The bridge is cleared."

"It's too late..." Jin Shiqi said sadly. "I still have 7,000 people who have not yet passed."

"You're stupid!" Ji Shiden said angrily, "Your father is also in front, and there are thousands of Long Wu's soldiers. Do you want to kill us?"

There was a moment of silence.

Suddenly, a strong wind came from the sky, and large particles of ice and snow were swept up and raised all over the sky.

Immediately, a rumbling sound sounded from the west, and the ice beneath my feet hummed and trembled.

Ji Shideng's war horse stood up neighing, and the soldiers hurriedly rushed to meet him. I saw the shadows of people moving in the Longwu Camp in the distance, and the sparkling general flags, military flags, and command flags on the formation were all blown into chaos...

It’s the Jian Nu who are marching!

It’s not day yet!

Several of Ji Shideng's subordinates hurriedly grabbed the horse's head, "General, get on the bridge first!" "It's too late!"

Ji Shideng held the reins tightly and looked at the military formation two miles away. The crowd there was fluctuating, and there were even sporadic deserters! He turned and looked at the pontoon, where the dense crowd was also running in panic. Some people

He had already thrown away the food, and was immediately knocked to the ground by the war supervising soldiers...

Ji Shideng stared at Jin Shiqi. After a moment, he galloped towards the military formation and said, "Meet the enemy!"

"General!" Jin Shiqi shouted from behind: "I will guard the bridge and wait for the last Longwu soldier to get on the bridge!"

…

At this moment, the three battalions of the Longwu Navy, the left, middle, and right battalions, were lined up in a line, adjacent to each other, and each formed a square formation.

Under the banner of the central general, Jin Guan was sitting on a chair, guarded by two hundred private soldiers in front and behind. On the ice field in front of him, ten thousand Jiannu cavalry were slowly approaching, no more than three miles away.

Almost every horse, every piece of armor, every bow, and every face could be seen clearly. The enemy troops were also blown wildly by the north wind. Their bodies were covered with frost and snow, and the cold light of thousands of weapons shone like stars.

Thousands of flags in the formation cover the sky and the sun, like a billowing cloud of fire. The sound of rolling horse hooves is like waves, surging in all directions.

The ice that had been frozen for months was awakened, and snow and fog rose up and filled the sky.

Jin Guan reached out his hand and grabbed the spear shaft held by the soldiers beside him. The spear was trembling slightly. There were also those archers and gunmen. Although only their backs could be seen, the panic on their faces could be guessed.

The soldiers lurking behind the carriages and the gunners crouching beside the Franchise were all as silent as statues.

Outside, the ice field is lined with horse stakes, scattered deer antlers, and a shallow ice trench. In just two days, the trench has been refrozen and filled with frost by the north wind.

Snow. I can’t see clearly in many places.

The enemy is less than a mile away!

Jin Guan shouted with a hoarse voice: "Don't move! If you move, you will collapse! If you collapse, you will all die!"

The next moment, almost all the war horses on the ice field neighed and rushed over in an instant! The Longwu camp immediately opened fire. The sound of cannons was like wild thunder, the continuous firecrackers were like hail, and the fire was blooming like thousands of flowers. Various colors of gunpowder smoke

Thousands of arrows flew into the sky towards the enemy formation...

As soon as the explosion of firearms subsided, the thick smoke was blown away by the north wind.

The Jiannu cavalry were approaching.

At that moment, the air was stagnant! Thousands of cavalry had already stepped through the ice trench, bypassing the horses like a torrent of molten iron, and charged in through the gaps everywhere. In an instant, the battle began!

The air immediately resounded with a shrill sound of metal collision, weapons were swung, and blood spattered. The war horses were knocked to the ground, neighing. There were continuous volleys in the camp, and the cavalry's armors collapsed.

The drums beat continuously, one after another. The soldiers in the broken camp were chopped to the ground, and the screams tore their eardrums. Dozens of lit fire bricks were thrown into the air, and they suddenly exploded when they landed on the ice. Arrows were like rain.

They usually fall into the formation and hit the vine shield with a "bang bang" sound, and one after another someone is hit by arrows and falls to the ground.

Several carriages in front were overturned one after another, and the cavalry jumped up and charged in. A group of spearmen rushed forward with howls in unison. As soon as the group of cavalry retreated, another group of cavalry came in from the side.

Several shield bearers there hurriedly resisted, and were kicked, trampled and rolled to the ground by the horses.

In an instant, fire shot into the sky, and ten-foot-long flames billowed out. The horses jumped in fright and rushed around, knocking the cavalry to the ground. The sailors dropped their flamethrowers, drew their swords, and chased after them. The black smoke everywhere was filled with the smell of burning.

Outside the formation, more cavalry were galloping past in a steady stream, raising a trail of snow smoke! They moved towards the back of the formation and outflanked them, piercing the gaps between the Longwu camps like sharp blades, dividing them!

Jin Guan shouted with a hoarse voice: "We must resist this round!"

Zha Yingcai rushed over in a hurry: "General! The left camp has been completely destroyed! The right camp has moved back and is about to go up the mountain. It is about to collapse!"

Jin Guan's eyes were stern: "Then they are dead."

After a round of attacks, the Zhongying camp was already trapped in a tight siege and was still resisting.

The worst thing was the Zuoying that collapsed first.

In the era of cold weapons, you only need to form a formation to face the enemy, resist with chariots, shields and armor, and fight with the front of the soldiers. As long as the formation is not broken, the soldiers' backs and sides can be guaranteed not to be attacked, and the lives of most people can be temporarily saved. Once

If defeated, they will have no choice but to be hunted down.

In a defeated army, only 20% of the soldiers were killed head-on, and 80% died on the way to escape.

As soon as Longwu's left camp was dispersed, the soldiers fled southward like a collapse, covering the ice field. Groups of Jiannu cavalry tore through them like knives, passed through them, outflanked them to the front to intercept them, and formed a net to drive them away from behind.

No matter how they ran, they were faced with enemy soldiers. In an instant, they were cut down to the ground by the pursuers and stabbed to death on the ice and snow by spears.

The defeated soldiers panicked and ran towards the floating bridge.

There was also turmoil and misery on the other side of the floating bridge.

Jin Shiqi has ordered everyone to cross the bridge and no longer transport goods. Now the defeated troops are swarming in. Thousands of people are crowded together, and there are fighting and killing everywhere! Fortunately, the bridge will not be washed away due to the obstruction of dozens of fences.

Destroyed. The crowd was tied up in the wooden fence beams. They were only surging in pain. Every moment, someone was pushed down and trampled to death. They had to rush to the fence exit at the bridge head before they could rush onto the pontoon bridge.

At this moment, bridges are more important than people!

No matter how many people are trampled and crowded to death, as long as the bridge is there, more people will rush across.

There is no need to maintain order now. Jin Shiqi's 200 elite soldiers are arrayed beside the bridge. The swordsmen, shieldmen and spearmen are in the front, forming a crescent formation, with the musketeers and archers in the middle.

The Longwu Left Camp no longer exists. Hundreds of corpses remain on the coastal ice fields, and only a few people are still fighting hard. The Longwu Right Camp has retreated to the hillside, less than half a mile away from the pontoon bridge. They

Only half of the troops were left, and the formation was in disarray.

Only the Longwu Middle Camp was left, surrounded by thousands of cavalry. The formation had turned into a large circular formation, and was squeezed by the cavalry and gradually turned into a diamond... They marched slowly towards the coast. Various firearms

The sound of explosions continued. Black smoke filled the space between the sheltered carriages and side carriages, as if they were slowly burning. The cavalry charged towards the Longwu Middle Camp one after another, and the soldiers fell one after another. They

Bodies were also left on the ground wherever they passed.

Immediately afterwards, a line of white cavalry rushed in from the side. They were all heavily armored, and even the horses were covered in armor of the same color. They charged against the car formation. The cavalry in front were shot and killed one after another, and were burned off their horses. The cavalry behind them continued to charge forward.

The team of white-armored cavalry finally cut a gap in the navy's defense line, rushed into the middle camp, and divided the Longwu Middle Camp into two parts.

In an instant, they were under the golden crown general's flag!
Chapter completed!
