At this moment, there was a burst of gunfire, and another sheepskin raft approached, and the Datong Army on the raft was shooting towards the shore.

It's a pity that the current is too fast. Although I have been paddling with all my strength, I was still washed more than 20 meters downstream of Wang Hui before landing.

After disembarking, the eight soldiers rushed over immediately, and Wang Hui's side had already met the enemy.

The other side of the Yellow River is not flat, it has also been washed out layer by layer of ridges. More than 400 enemy troops surrounded and jumped from the ridge to fight. Because they ran so fast, they had no time to form an formation. The head and tail of the team stretched more than 30 meters long.

Four words, sparse, like a gang fight.

It can't be blamed for the Dashun army being too hip, the elite were all taken to Hebei by Li Zicheng.There are only about [-] veterans staying at Tongguan, and the rest are recruits who have been trained for three months.

Six thousand elite guards at Tongguan are more than enough!

cross the river?

Li Zicheng never thought that the Datong army would dare to cross the river.

Because even if they crossed the river, they would all be washed away by the river, just like the current situation.More than a dozen people rushed to land on the beach, and dared to form an army to defend against 500 people. There is no such army in the world.

"kill!"

Facing the siege of more than 400 people, Wang Hui did not stick to his position, but took the initiative to charge forward.

Taking advantage of the loose formation of the Dashun Army, they had to rush out.If you defend in place, the enemy will be surrounded more and more densely.

Then a heroic scene appeared, fifteen Datong troops charged back towards the 400 Dashun troops.

Wang Hui stabbed one person to death with a gun, and cooperated with the friendly army to kill another person.

Fifteen Datong troops rushed forward, killing wherever they rushed, and rushed several meters in a row, knocking down twelve enemy troops.

In some battlefields, the status quo of fighting more and fighting less has formed!

The Dashun Army was obviously larger in number, but those who were fighting head-on were cowed by the momentum, and some even took the initiative to dodge to avoid it.

The Dashun officer leading the team shouted: "End the formation, quickly end the formation!"

This guy thought that if five hundred people killed fifteen, he would definitely be able to catch them, so he ordered to run at full speed.Some people ran fast, some people ran fast, the team got longer and longer, and it became more and more scattered. Only then was Wang Hui found a chance.

Under the order to form an formation, only the hundreds of people around the officer began to line up very obediently, and those who were too far away did not know what the order was.

"Damn... kill!"

After rushing forward a few more steps, a firecracker was severely injured and was shot from the side by the enemy.

The firecracker roared in pain, raised his bayonet and charged out, stabbing the attacker to death.It's a pity that he was injured and couldn't follow along, and was soon besieged and killed by four Dashun troops.

Wang Hui saw the signs of the enemy's formation from a distance, and immediately shouted: "The enemy is over there, follow me to kill!"

There were still 14 people left, and under the leadership of Wang Hui, they rushed towards the place where the enemy was most dense.

After rushing a few steps, another Datong army fell to the ground, this time it was a pike soldier.

The eight Datong friendly troops in the lower reaches, after landing, followed Wang Hui's example and charged towards the enemy's flank.

There is only one exception.

Yang Zhi ran for a while, then stopped to take aim, but he didn't shoot in the river.

With a distance of more than 40 steps and 60 meters, Yang Zhi aimed at the enemy general who was gathering troops.

"boom!"

The enemy general's personal soldiers of the one-shot arm were so frightened that the enemy general quickly shrank his head, hid in the crowd and never showed his face again.

"Crooked!"

Yang Zhi was very remorseful, and then reloaded the bomb at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary soldiers.

The remaining seven Datong soldiers rushed over from the flank.The enemy army here was even more scattered, more than a dozen people were killed by them, and they took another 20 people to be defeated together in the process of escaping.

In fact, it was not considered a rout. These Dashun soldiers who had fled wanted to go back to their generals and fight again after the formation was formed.They are scattered, there is no formation, no organization, no matter how many people there are, it is difficult to cooperate with each other.

Yang Zhi poked the projectile with the poking stick, looked up while poking, but saw that the enemy general didn't show his head at all.

When he saw the thirty or forty broken soldiers, he suddenly had an idea: "The enemy general is dead, the enemy general is dead!"

It's a pity that the battlefield was noisy, and Yang Zhi's voice was too low.

"To the right!"

The enemy's formation in front has been initially formed, and more than 100 people are densely packed.Wang Hui knew that it would be difficult to disperse, so he took the lead and rushed to the right, wanting to cooperate with the friendly troops who came to meet him from downstream.

When turning around, two more people were lost, and Wang Hui's team had only 11 people left.

Eleven people from the west and seven from the east, a total of 11 Datong armies, charged against each other and defeated more than 60 enemies among them.

The price was that the Datong Army killed two people again.

The Datong Army joined forces, not counting Yang Zhi, there were only 16 people left.And everyone was wounded, standing on the shore and gasping for breath.

The formation of the Dashun Army was gradually completed, and they lined up neatly, slowly coming towards Wang Hui.

"boom!"

Yang Zhi fired a second shot, hitting the soldiers next to the enemy general again.

"Why didn't you hit him again?" Yang Zhi was frustrated.

The unnamed general of the Dashun Army was so frightened that he completely shrank to the rear of the team.

The [-] Dashun Army stationed in the west also started to engage in battle, to besiege and kill the Datong Army who landed in another place.The situation there was very bad. Eight Datong soldiers were all killed after landing.

"General, here we come!"

Another two sheepskin rafts came and docked at a distance of 23 meters.This time fifteen soldiers came, and together, Wang Hui's army reached 31 people.

Still didn't count Yang Zhi in it, this guy was far away alone, squatting on the ground to reload.

After the enemy general suffered a loss, he didn't dare to be careless, and approached little by little in formation.

"Bang bang bang!"

While the Dashun Army was marching, the Datong Army fired another round of salvo.

"boom!"

Yang Zhi also fired again. He couldn't find the enemy general who was hiding, but he killed the enemy's team leader with one shot.That team fell into a panic, causing the Dashun Army to advance more slowly.

The enemy general finally couldn't take it anymore, and dispatched thirty soldiers, pointing in Yang Zhi's direction and roaring, "Go and kill that guy!"

Yang Zhi took his time and reloaded the ammunition.

On the frontal battlefield, this Dashun army mainly consisted of recruits, with very few archers.After the Datong army fired a volley, more than 30 archers went out to shoot at Wang Hui.

When Wang Hui charged, he threw away all his shields, and there was a leather raft beside him as a shield.

They can only cover the deadly parts, and use cotton armor to carry the bow and arrow hard.

The troops crossing the river are all wearing cotton armor, and they will surely die if they fall into the river!

Seeing several leather rafts approaching the shore in the east, Wang Hui shouted: "Run downstream!"

When the Datong army moved, a corpse was left on the ground, which was shot to death by the enemy just now.

When the enemy general saw Wang Hui running again, he obviously hesitated, not knowing whether to continue marching in formation or order to catch up at full speed.What if you run away again?

After some thought, the enemy general ordered trot to pursue, the whole army should not run too fast, and try to maintain their own formation.

Once again, the troops joined forces smoothly, and Yang Zhi also returned to the team, with a force of 46 people.

"Look, general!"

Wang Hui turned to look at the river, and saw hundreds of sheepskin rafts rowing towards him.

It was the Datong Army who crossed the river in pieces and had been using hot air balloons to observe the situation.The situation on Wang Hui's side was the best, so the follow-up troops concentrated here to cross.

The unknown enemy general also saw it, and shouted in horror: "Kill at full speed!"

"Reinforcements are coming, and the world will be united!"

Wang Hui shouted excitedly.

The unknown enemy general didn't care about hiding, he drew his waist knife and led the team to charge.

Yang Zhi picked up the firearm again and took aim.

"boom!"

The enemy will fall down.

Wang Hui was stunned for a moment, then ecstatically, raised his spear and shouted: "The enemy general is dead, follow me to kill!"

The 46 Datong troops attacked more than 400 enemy troops like a rainbow.

The enemy army seemed a little overwhelmed at the moment when the general was killed.Some continued to rush over, some stopped in a daze, and some ran away directly.

The distance between the two sides was very close, and as the Datong Army countercharged, more than 400 enemy troops fell apart in an instant.

Sometimes, a little coincidence can decide the battle situation.

The most famous one is that the Red Army forcibly crossed the Dadu River.

The river is more than 300 meters wide and the current is fast. The Red Army has only one boat.Eighteen warriors crossed the river to seize the position, and they had to use this boat to row across in two parts.

The enemy's machine gun positions were fierce, and the Red Army had only three shells left, and the mortar mounts were broken.

The gunner Zhao Zhangcheng stood up, holding the gun barrel with his left hand, and measuring the distance with his right hand.All three shells hit, destroying three machine gun positions, and eighteen warriors took the opportunity to land.

How could the Red Army cross the Dadu River without the remaining three shells hitting all of them?

At this moment, Tian Jianxiu's cavalry chased the Datong army to the downstream, and they are currently rushing upstream.

Wang Hui is here to initially build a landing position.

Further upstream, there are also several sheepskin rafts crossing the river.

He Zhen looked at the battle on the other side, and the Tongguan defenders were killed and retreated, making him more determined to defect.

When the sheepskin rafts docked, He Zhen immediately led 500 people there.All the soldiers under his command thought that he was going to fight, but this guy said: "The emperor of the Zhao family in Nanjing is benevolent and righteous. I heard that everyone can share the land, and there is no corvee or heavy tax. Do you want to live a life like this?"

The soldiers were all stunned.

Because He Zhen was not trusted, all the old troops were taken away by Li Zicheng, and the current 500 people are all recruits.

"Who doesn't want to surrender?" He Zhen asked.

No one spoke.

Seeing that the soldiers still did not respond, He Zhen shouted: "I have voted for the Datong Army. Those who are popular and drink hot. If you are willing to surrender, follow me!"

He Zhen took the lead and walked towards the Datong Army. The soldiers looked around, and at first some followed him, and finally they all followed.

The Datong army on the shore was waiting in full battle. He Zhen stepped forward alone and shouted: "Don't let go of the guns, don't let go of the guns. I am willing to lead my troops to surrender to the Datong court!"

Chapter 544 [Yellow River Bloody Battle]

"Gather soldiers, gather soldiers!"

Zhang Shijie looked crazy, and ordered his soldiers to blow the assembly call, and before the soldiers scattered along the coast gathered, he led the only 1000 people around him to fight out.

The Datong army crossed the river in sections, resulting in too scattered troops.

Similarly, Zhang Shijie's defenders also dispersed, leaving only a thousand reserve troops as a mobile force.

"Quick row, quick row!"

Jiang Liang stayed and garrisoned on the south bank to deal with any unexpected changes, while Liu Zhu personally led troops across the river to support.

The real battle has begun!

More than 800 people have been assembled in the river bank positions around Wang Hui.After they defeated the nearest [-] enemy troops, they immediately set up fortifications.Sheepskin rafts, clods of sand, and even the corpses of both the enemy and us were all piled up on the shore to build semicircular fortifications...

Zhang Shijie took the lead in leading troops to kill, and his 4000 reserve team had gathered [-] troops during the march.

Tian Jianxiu, who was downstream, was leading 2000 cavalrymen, riding their horses back at full speed.The Tongguan defenders on the opposite bank were unable to break through the Datong Army's position on the south bank, and only [-] people were left to guard the city. The rest all crossed the river to Fenglingdu, and then rushed towards Wang Hui's position.

There are also some Dashun defenders, pushing or carrying artillery, wanting to reach within range quickly.

"Drive the southern thieves back into the river!" Zhang Shijie didn't dare to continue to wait for the army to gather, otherwise more and more Datong troops would come ashore, and they would start a fierce attack with only 4000 people.

"Bang bang bang!"

Among Wang Hui's more than 800 people, there were about [-] firecrackers, lying on the bunker and starting shooting.

After a salvo, hundreds of enemy troops were beaten to pieces.
