"Form up! Form a formation quickly!"

When Lu Wende stepped onto the south bank, he felt the earth tremble and heard the thunderous sound of horse hooves falling like raindrops.

The soldiers who had just landed looked up and saw a group of Mongolian cavalry charging towards them with their scimitars raised.

For a moment, the soldier who stepped onto the land quickly took a forward lunge, raised his shield to his chest, shrank his body behind the shield, thrust out his spear, and aimed the spear head at the enemy cavalry, making a defensive posture.

The Qi soldiers quickly approached each other, but before the formation was formed, the Mongolian horse army had already rushed forward.

"Death to the barbarians!" A Mongolian officer looked ferocious as he raised his scimitar and struck Lu Wende on the neck.

His sword was sharp and fast, but Lv Wende's spear was also as fast as lightning. The moment the cavalry approached, the spear was thrust out, and the head of the spear pierced directly into the chest of the Mongolian soldier, stabbing the Mongolian soldier upside down and flying away from the horse.

"Bang!" The Mongolian cavalry was knocked down, but the horse continued to charge forward and hit the shield, causing Lu Wende to stagger and almost fly backwards.

Next to Lu Wende, a soldier was hit and then stepped on.

The Qi army had just landed ashore and had not formed a formation. The Mongolian horse army rushed up. The horses collided and slashed with scimitars. The Qi army on the beach resisted desperately.

The Mongolian cavalry was knocked off their horses by the Qi army. Before they could reach the Qi army in formation, they were also knocked away by the Mongolian horses and cut down with scimitars.

Suddenly, a group of horsemen were strangled on the river beach. The horses neighed, the soldiers shouted, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

Lu Wende quickly stabilized his body and leaned together with Lu Wenhuan and others to form a small formation.

The beachhead is not big, and as soon as the Mongolian cavalry charged, the Qi army was suppressed and unable to go ashore. At this time, the Mongolian cavalry that arrived was still gathering not far away, and would soon launch the next wave of attacks.

On the river, the Qi army's ship had a deep draft and could not get close to the shore. The archers on the ship could not reach the river beach. However, Zhao Tai followed Lu Wende's suggestion and installed a crossbow bed on the ship.

Pioneer officer Wang Xiu stood on the deck and saw the Mongolian cavalry attacking the Qi army on the beach. He quickly ordered, "Crossbow bed! Crossbow bed!"

Not long after the first wave of Mongolian cavalry rushed over, hundreds more Mongolian cavalry gathered in the distance. The leading Mongolian officer did not hesitate at all and rushed out directly, followed by the cavalry following them.

The Mongolian army knew very well that the Qi army must not be allowed to gain a foothold on the beach. They must kill all the barbarians who landed and drive them into the Huaihe River, otherwise the subsequent Qi armies would continue to land on the beach.

Hundreds of Mongolian troops, with ferocious faces, were galloping when a strong "whooshing" wind suddenly blew in the air.

Dozens of large crossbow arrows, like spears, flew over the heads of the two warring Qimeng armies and shot directly at the galloping horses.

With a "pop" sound, the crossbow arrow shot directly through the horse's neck, broke through the armor in front of the cavalry, and pierced the cavalry's body. The horse and cavalry galloped, fell forward, and stirred up clouds of yellow dust.

At this time, on the small boat in front of the big ship, the Qi army waiting to land also picked up their bows and arrows, pointed diagonally at the sky, and fired a wave of arrows in front of the beach.

The second wave of attacking cavalry was hit by arrows one after another and fell off their horses, and their impact speed obviously slowed down.

"Quick! Form a formation!" Seeing this, Lu Wende roared angrily.

On the river beach, Qi soldiers formed small formations in small groups and quickly moved closer to each other.

When the second wave of Mongolian cavalry rushed up, the Qi army had already formed a front line, and the soldiers standing in the front row roared in unison, "Thrust!"

】

The spear was stabbed out diagonally, and the Mongolian cavalry who were about to collide looked frightened and pulled their reins one after another.

A Mongolian general was so restrained that the front hooves of his horse were hanging in the air, the horse's body was almost erect, and the spears thrust by the Qi army were only an inch away from the horse's belly.

The war horse was forced to turn on the spot and retreated. At this time, the first wave of attacking cavalry had their horses' hooves sunk into the soft mud of the shallows and had lost speed.

As soon as they lost speed, they were driven down the river. The Qi soldiers standing in the water immediately grabbed their spears and killed them again.

Small boats rushed onto the shoal one after another. Qi Jun jumped out of the boat like dumplings and waded ashore.

The Mongolian cavalry on the river beach were immediately besieged and either stabbed to death with spears or thrown off their horses and hacked to death with knives.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining Mongolian cavalry quickly mobilized their horses and rushed out through the gap in the Qi army's line.

At this time, the Qi army repelled the Mongolian army's attack, and the soldiers who landed quickly formed a tight formation on the river beach. However, the Mongolian army in the distance saw the dense infantry formation and did not dare to attack directly.

They sat on their horses and watched anxiously. When the Mongolian army came and gathered thousands of horses, they launched another attack.

However, most of them were light cavalry and did not dare to attack directly. Instead, they rushed towards the Qi army's line and fired arrows that missed.

The Qi army had their shields in front and spears behind them. Faced with an overwhelming barrage of arrows, people kept falling to the ground after being hit by arrows, but the entire front line remained motionless.

While the infantry stood firm on the beach, the craftsman battalion that followed the vanguard across the river immediately built a temporary dock in the water.

At this time, there were not many Mongolian cavalry gathered, and they were all light cavalry, so they could not attack the Qi army. They could only watch the Qi army's ship dock at the temporary dock, and the soldiers on board filed off the ship.

A large number of divine arm archers, as soon as they stepped onto the pier, gathered for a while, then ran onto the river beach, and then the Mongolian cavalry who were running and shooting were hit by the divine arm bows.

"Commander Wang!"

Wang Xiu got off the boat and led his soldiers onto the river beach. Lu Wende and other generals, whose faces were covered in blood, immediately stepped forward to salute.

Wang Xiu took a look at the situation and said in a deep voice: "Fortunately, there were not many Mongolian cavalry just now, otherwise we may not be able to stand our ground."

Lu Wende said: "Brothers have formed a formation. The Mongolian cavalry wants to drive us down. It will not be so easy."

Wang Xiudao: "We cannot underestimate the enemy. The main force of the Tatars has not arrived yet, so we are afraid that they will have heavy cavalry."

As they were talking, the ground trembled slightly. Wang Xiu and Lu Wende turned around and saw yellow dust rolling in the distance, countless cavalry, trampling on the ground with ten thousand hooves, galloping over like a torrent.

"The main force of the Tatars has arrived!" Lu Wende exclaimed.

Wang Xiu immediately waved his hand and ordered, "Quick! Get the horses and antlers off the ship, and the fleet will return to the north shore immediately."

The main force of the Mongolian army was getting closer and closer. Qi soldiers hurriedly transported various supplies from the big ship. The small boats that rushed to the shore were pushed back into the water. The boatman rocked the oar and drove the boat back to the north bank, and then went to transport the goods to the north bank.

The Qi army came to reinforce.

Sawur did not go far. After running for a while, he felt that something was not right, so he only ordered the three thousand cavalry to continue southward, while he waited in place.

Sure enough, at dawn, there were scouts in the Chuzhou section who lit the beacon smoke. Sawur hurried back, but was still a moment late.

In just a short time, the Qi army had occupied the beachhead, and the forwards had completed the landing.

At this time, five thousand Mongolian cavalry reined their horses in the distance and joined forces with the Mongolian army who arrived first. The officer who arrived first saluted immediately, "Wanhu! The barbarians have landed on the river beach."
