    "Commander, General Zhang, the enemy is ready to cross the river!"

    "All the ministries stand firm, and the cavalry follow me to stop the enemy! On the other side of Tongguan, issue an order to let Liu Xiyao go out to attack and kill!"

    Tian Jianxiu personally led the cavalry on the north bank of the Yellow River, running east along the river bank.

    The weather is clear and sunny.  .  .

    The Datong army on the south bank is swaggering across the river.

    Although Cao Cao won the battle of Tongguan, it was actually a tragic victory, with the loss of more than 10,000 troops.  Moreover, the casualties basically occurred during the three river crossings.

    The first time he smuggled across the Yellow River, he was discovered by Ma Chao only halfway through, and then he led his cavalry out.

    A large number of livestock and peasants, including Cao Cao himself, had not had time to cross the river, and their tails were bitten by Ma Chao's cavalry.

    Now, the Datong army directly builds fortifications, leaving 4,000 people to defend at all times, lest the Dashun defenders break out from Tongguan and repeat the mistakes of Cao Cao when he crossed the river.

    The main force is divided into several sections to rush across at the same time.

    Liu Xiyao, who was guarding Tongguan, saw the waving command flags on the other side, and immediately brought 3,000 elite soldiers and 2,000 miscellaneous soldiers to attack the fortifications on the south bank of the Datong Army.

    Moreover, when Liu Xiyao came out from the south gate, there were all tall earthen beams, and it was impossible for the Datong army to build fortifications.

    The Datong Army wanted to cross the river and bypass Tongguan, and the defenders of Tongguan also bypassed the concrete wall of the Datong Army from the earth beam.

    "The bandit soldiers are coming around from the south!"

    In the hot air balloon, the Datong sentry waving semaphore, and the observers on the ground shouted quickly.

    "Dragoons abandon their horses, follow me to stop them!"

    Cao Bianjiao got off his horse and led 2,500 dragoons to climb up the ten-meter-high earth beam along the gully washed out by the rain.  In some places, the height of the earth beams even exceeds 20 meters.

    After Cao Bianjiao led his troops to climb up, Liu Xiyao's troops were only tens of meters away.

    Cao Bianjiao said to the messenger: "Occupy the high ground, form a formation and fire the guns. Tell the friendly troops below to keep them still and just guard the fortifications to prevent the enemy from coming to Tongguan!"

    Here is a typical Loess Plateau terrain, with vertical and horizontal earth beams, undulating ups and downs, and gullies washed out by rain.

    After abandoning their horses, the dragoons stood guard on an earth beam, waiting for Liu Xiyao to attack.

    "Three breads!"

    Liu Xiyao's troops came to the ravine and dispersed into three groups to encircle and climb.

    Cao Bianjiao shouted: "Commander, Commander, disperse and shoot!"

    "Bang bang bang!"

    The dragoons looked down and fired at the enemy in the ditch.

    Today, the dragoons of more than a dozen divisions have all been replaced with flintlock guns.  As for the infantry, about half of them were re-equipped, and the newly formed divisions still used the obsolete matchlock guns.

    Due to climbing the earth beams, the Dashun army did not form a formation when attacking, and scattered into east and west, and the Datong army also scattered into more than a dozen groups and fired.

    Liu Xiyao's elite soldiers are all wearing cotton armor, and because they are far away, they can still hold the bullets.

    But he still has 2,000 miscellaneous soldiers who have only trained for three months and only wear leather armor.  After more than a dozen people were shot in a row, a group of miscellaneous soldiers collapsed immediately, turned around and wanted to escape from the battlefield.

    "The escapee will be cut!"

    "Boys, follow me to kill the enemy!"

    The law enforcement team killed more than 20 people, and the miscellaneous soldiers finally stopped fleeing.  Liu Xiyao simply took off his armor, stepped forward with his shirtless shoulders and knife in hand, and led his elite troops to attack desperately.

    The mountain ridges of the Loess Plateau can't be climbed anywhere, only relatively less steep ones can be picked.

    At this time, wearing armor is cumbersome, anyway, if you get close, you will be pierced by bullets.

    "Bang bang bang!"

    Three of Liu Xiyao's personal soldiers fell down one after another, and this man was still struggling to crawl, as expected of a titan from Li Zicheng's old battalion.

    Suddenly, there was a shout of killing from the shore, but it was Liu Tichun who led the troops out of the customs and attacked the fortifications of the Datong Army from the front.

    The main force of the Datong army is crossing the river in sections. Once it loses here, the army will be finished.

    "General, we can't attack, we can only be beaten!" The soldiers shouted from behind the mound.

    Liu Xiyao was also dodging on his stomach, roaring angrily: "If you don't try your best at this time, Tongguan will be gone, and you will be unable to fight if you want to! Listen carefully to the sound of the guns, and charge with me!"

    Liu Xiyao sent a group of miscellaneous soldiers to attack first, and when the gunfire was the most intensive, he suddenly stood up and charged: "Let's charge together while they are changing their medicines! Archers, shoot upwards! Firecrackers, also attack!"  Hit from above!"

    Although the Datong Army is a group of ten people, shooting in rotation, but facing a wave of offensives, they will inevitably shoot most of them

    The nearest sheepskin raft was more than ten meters away from the north shore, and there were only six people left on the raft.  So far, the operation of crossing the river has just begun, and the Datong Army has lost more than 30 soldiers!

    Finally, the sheepskin raft docked, and Tian Jianxiu's cavalry rushed over.

    The soldiers of Datong, who were not firmly established, quickly formed an formation on the shore.  Three melee soldiers stood in front, and three musketeers fired at the cavalry. Six of them faced more than 2,000 cavalry.

    Shi Chang had already fallen into the river, and Wu Chang raised his spear and roared angrily with red eyes: "Plow the fields and eat, and the world will be united!"

    "Plow the fields and eat, and the world will be in harmony!"

    The six people shouted in unison, seeing death as home.

    "Bang bang bang!"

    Three firecrackers fired in salvo, hitting an enemy cavalry.

    The enemy's bows and arrows also shot, and all six of them were hit by arrows, and the most had seven arrows stuck in their bodies.

    After a round of bows and arrows, there were still two people who did not fall down.

    Instead of reloading ammunition, they picked up the shields and spears of the melee soldiers and defended their landing positions back to back.

    "Fire the arrow!"

    There was another rain of arrows, and the two finally died.

    Tian Jianxiu said with emotion: "They are all good guys, what a pity."

    "Commander, there is another raft across the river!"

    "Chase!"

    Tian Jianxiu roared.

    One after another, more than 20 sheepskin rafts that successfully crossed the river, carrying more than 100 Datong soldiers, were besieged and killed by the enemy as soon as they landed.

    However, there were too many Datong troops crossing the river, and the banks of the Yellow River were too long, and there were always places that Tian Jianxiu could not take care of.

    "Form the formation, raise the flag, and blow the horn!"

    Wang Hui also crossed the river, and the nearest enemy army to him was two hundred Dashun infantry dozens of meters away.

    "Beep beep beep da da~~~~"

    The suona blew the rallying horn, and the Datong soldiers who went ashore desperately moved towards this place.  The Datong Army in the river also rowed as far as possible to this side, where they wanted to form a real position.
