Huan Yi arrived at the shore and saw hundreds of Qin soldiers in the water. He was overjoyed, picked up his halberd, and rushed into the water!
"Brothers, kill me!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
What flows outside Jingling City is the Han River, the largest tributary of the Yangtze River. Along the Han River, Xiangyang in the upper reaches and Jingling in the lower reaches are closely connected, forming a defense system.
With Huan Yi taking the lead, the morale of the Jin army soared. When the Qin army on the river bank saw the Jin army with such momentum, they immediately panicked and wished they could grow eight legs and two pairs of wings and fly back to the battle formation.
.
Huan Yi's team were all local soldiers in Jingling and were very familiar with the terrain here. From the moment they left the city and entered the water, they attacked the Qin army along the shallowest part of the water.
The Liang brothers obviously did not expect that the defenders in the city would move so quickly. They were so panicked that they even forgot to ask the cavalry behind them to fire arrows.
The two brothers were not idlers. After a little adjustment, they came up with a trick. However, in such a chaotic situation, the deterrent effect of the arrow rain was greatly reduced.
"Fire the arrow!"
"Fire the arrow quickly!"
Liang Cheng rushed into the battle formation, finally remembering this serious matter, and in front of him, a relatively sparse shield array was finally erected.
Compared to the cavalry, the infantry regained their composure earlier.
Together with the shield formation, they stood up and aimed at the Jin army. In a moment, arrow clusters flew out!
On the other side, in the direction of their target, Huan Yi, who had already experienced several fierce battles, would not be intimidated by their arrow clusters.
Although he was charging with all his strength, his target was not the enemy battle formation on the other side.
Five hundred people!
Huan Yi only has 500 men in his hands!
And what about the other party?
Behind the Liang brothers, there are five thousand elite soldiers. Although they are in chaos now, it would be too risky to challenge five thousand people with five hundred people.
The purpose of all wars is to defeat the enemy, not to cause one's own troops to lose troops.
Huan Yi initially targeted these scattered soldiers by the river.
Now, he is close to his goal.
Whizzing!
Several clusters of arrows were flying towards Huan Yi. Huan Yi was sprinting at high speed. When he suddenly saw these arrows, he immediately raised his halberd in his hand.
Put it in front of you and block it sideways.
Ping Ping Dang Dang...
With a few crisp sounds, the arrow clusters fell one after another, losing their danger.
As for the Qin army still wandering in the river, their real danger has arrived!
Puff puff...
After years of fighting, Huan Yi's fighting nerves were extremely developed. He just knocked away the arrow clusters and raised his hand twice.
Right in front of his eyes, two Qin soldiers who accidentally fell off their horses were immediately smashed into pieces!
Bright red blood spurted out from their mouths and hit Huan Yi's face.
This humble gentleman, known for his fair face and good flute playing, at this moment, seemed to be an evil spirit appearing out of thin air!
The red blood complemented his fair face. Around him, the shouts of killing were shaking. The Jingling City defenders, who had been surrounded for several days, finally found an outlet to vent their anger.
The soldiers of the Qin army, who were already in panic, immediately threw off their helmets and armor and fled in all directions under the charge of Huan Yi's army.
Some of them managed to climb ashore, but were accidentally injured by Qin soldiers who were eager to attack the Jin army.
Clusters of arrows fell like raindrops one after another. Not many of them landed on the enemy soldiers, but all of them killed their own brothers.
On the battlefield, what is often fought is momentum. If the two armies formally confront each other and are fully prepared, it is impossible for a mere 500 people to fight against a crowd of 5,000 people.
However, Huan Yi seized the opportunity.
Huan Yi came out today to supervise the repair of the outer city. Huan Yi, who has experienced hundreds of battles, naturally has his own plan. The Qin army has besieged Jingling City for three days today.
In the past three days, they sometimes attacked and provoked, sometimes shouted and cursed along the river, and were never idle for a moment.
However, Jingling City was high and deep, with deep trenches and tight defenses. The two brothers Liang Cheng were temporarily assigned to Jingling City to attack the city.
They had more cavalry and less infantry under their command. Facing the tall and solid Jingling City, the disadvantage of the cavalry not being good at attacking the city was undoubtedly apparent.
Even though they obviously had quite a few soldiers under their command, and the generals at the head, the Liang brothers, were also brave, they spent two or three days under Jingling City, but there was nothing they could do.
If they could successfully invade Jingling City, they wouldn't have to resort to such dirty tricks as insulting the enemy generals.
So, Huan Yi counted the time and felt that the Qin army was almost exhausted and was about to reach its limit, so he took the risk and led his soldiers to charge out!
When he came out and looked at it like this, Huan Yile's mouth became crooked.
God help.
It's just the right time!
Just fine!
The Jin army was all red-eyed. For a moment, the shouts of killing on the river were loud, and blood dripped down in a short time, turning the nearby river surface red.
"carefree!"
Huan Yi rushed and killed several people along the river bank, shouting loudly, but right in front of him, the Qin army, which had always been known for its bravery and prowess in battle, did not even dare to step forward to stop him.
But when he was immersed in the excitement of repeated charges, not far away, a Qin soldier who was unable to get on his horse due to nervousness suddenly had a flash of light in his eyes.
He discovered Huan Yi!
The scene was so chaotic that there were no protective soldiers closely following Huan Yi!
This is a God-sent opportunity!
Huan Yi was riding a horse and was inserting a dagger into the chest of a Qin Army cavalry. During the brief struggle, the soldiers found a gap to attack!
Huan Yi was very skilled in martial arts, and he was riding on a tall horse, which gave him a commanding advantage. His war horse was also equipped with equipment. No matter it was a long halberd or a long sword, it could not hurt the war horse.
Equipping war horses with armor was quite popular in the Wei, Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties. Especially the southern troops, because of the acute shortage of war horses, paid more attention to the protection of war horses.
This kind of vest (the horse's armor, not the waistcoat.) generally includes a pair of well-made face armor, and the horse is also covered with a whole piece of body armor. Under such tight protection, it is difficult for the enemy to attack the war horse.
A fatal blow to the general.
However, any precaution will have loopholes. As the saying goes, the vest does not include the horse's limbs!
The Di Qin cavalry who unfortunately fell to the ground had a torch in his eyes, and the resentment of being plotted prompted him to become more evil!
The comrade lying next to him had his blood still cold, and he was still clutching the ring-shou knife in his hand. The cavalryman drew his long knife and approached cautiously.
