C256 (1/2)
Fifth Prince looked up and saw more than thirty rows of wooden rafts rowing towards him. Due to the river being too hurried, the Korean Army Soldiers could only use all their strength to support the raft, causing it to move very slowly. If the river was a little more gentle, the Han army's sneak attack would have succeeded.
”Release the arrows!” Seeing that the Han army had already passed the middle of the river and was about to reach the range of the bow and arrow, Fifth Prince frowned, raised his right hand and shouted loudly.
swish swish swish … *
With a sharp whistle, they pounced towards the raft of the Han army. It was like a layer of black cloud that covered the sky above West Gorge River in an instant, blocking out the morning sun in the east, causing the sky to become even darker.
”Ding dang, dang dang …”
The Korean Army Soldiers had both armor and steel shield s, so when the Arrows rushed up, it made a crisp sound and submerged into the river which was filled with mist. However, there were also a small number of Arrows that clashed into the Korean Army Soldiers's face, causing miserable cries to ring out.
”Release the arrows!” Release the arrows for your father! Shoot those bastards! ”
Zhang Fei, who was leading them, stood on the west side of West Gorge River. He brandished the spear in his hands and roared like thunder. Originally, he wanted to personally go up to battle, but he was stopped by Xun Yu and Xun You. It was only a bluff, if Zhang Fei came up, it might have been fake.
The morning sun had just risen from the east, and the West Gorge River's water was still shrouded in mist. The night sky was tranquil, and only the river's splashing sound could be heard. Seemingly at the same time that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were fighting for An Lingdu, Zhao Yun and An Lingdu boarded the wooden raft. They were the main target of these three paths.
Looking at the rushing river, Zhao Yun's face was also covered with dark clouds. Relying entirely on these wooden rafts, he didn't know where the river would push them to. If they were stuck on a riverbank that they couldn't stand on, they, the ten thousand people horses, would probably be trapped by the river.
It was like a gamble, a gamble with no end in sight. On the other side of the river, there were very few flat land. The widest place was only a few hundred steps away. If more than ten thousand soldiers were to go up together, they might not even be able to move their foot soldiers.
”Brother Cang Ba, the riverbank is narrow and can't be landed by a large number of people. Yan Zheng and Lu Tong, together with the third group of soldiers and horses, will cross the river. ”How about it?” Zhao Yun looked at Cang Ba and discussed.
”Sure!” Cang Ba nodded and agreed readily. Now was not the time to strive for success. As long as they could cross over from West Gorge River, it would be the greatest achievement. He solemnly said, ”Bring all the Resisting Horses along. Pay attention to the Gaoguellian's cavalry.”
”Let's go!”
Zhao Yun said softly as he waved the long knife in his hand. herald immediately raised his flag, it was a pity that the morning mist was too thick, the soldiers in the distance couldn't see it and had no choice but to send orders in a low voice. The Korean Army Soldiers s immediately plunged their bamboo pole into the water and pushed forward, paddling the raft into the river.
Despite its well-prepared mind, the raft swung involuntarily in the rapids as it reached the middle of the river, as if it were getting out of the control of the soldiers. Fortunately, the river wasn't very deep, so the soldiers used bamboo pole to hold up the river bottom and controlled the raft.
”Swoosh …”
Suddenly, an arrow shot up into the sky. The patrolling Gaoguanli Sentinel Sentinel discovered the overtaking raft and immediately issued an alarm. Immediately after, arrows after arrows flew up into the sky. Not far away, Gaoguellian's shouts were getting more and more anxious.
It had to be said that the Gaoguellian was extremely vigilant. Not long after the arrows were shot, soldiers running on the other side of the West Gorge River could be seen, running and shouting at the same time. Although Zhao Yun could not understand what they were shouting, he understood that they were estimating the place the raft would land.
”Slash with all your might!”
Zhao Yun frowned, and ordered coldly. The raft had passed the middle of the river, and the mountain of blades and the sea were just in front of them. However, the river here was even more hurried than the Anling Ferry. Even though the soldiers had exerted all their strength, most of the rafts were floating downstream.
Seeing that the stowaway had become a forced crossing, the Korean Army Soldiers s were in a panic, the soldiers who were in charge of supporting the pole were even trembling a little. However, when they saw Zhao Yun's stern face, the Korean Army Soldiers s calmed down a little and quickly stabilized the raft.
”Shoot!” Shoot! ”Shoot the arrows!”
Li Yi who was guarding the Tiger Leaping Gorge had already rushed over to the river side. Seeing that the A large number of the Korean Army was trying to cross the river, he almost broke out in a cold sweat.
swish swish swish … *
If one were to talk about the strong points of these Gauzeli soldier s, it would probably be shooting arrows. Almost all the Gaoguellian s were hunters. Archery was their way of earning a living, but their archery was all over the place, and Arrows's were all different as well. They thought they were hunting.
”Front row soldier, shield cover, back row soldier, aim and shoot!”
Zhao Yun's long knife pointed forward and ordered loudly. The soldiers in the front row of the wooden raft raised their shields and blocked the Arrows s from the Gaoguellian. The soldiers in the back row held their crossbows horizontally and shot out Arrows s one after another.
”Aooo …”
”Ah …”
