Yishui originated in Taihang Mountains, flowed through Yixian County in the east, divided into three streams of Yishui in the north, Yishui in the middle, and Yishui in the south. Yishui in the south is the most famous. It was here that Yan Prince Dan bid farewell to Jing Ke.

Why did Prince Dan bid farewell to Jing Ke in Nanyishui? Because this place is the border of Yan State and has always been the division between Yan and Zhao.

Yan and Zhao were bounded by Yishui in the south. In order to prevent the powerful Zhao in the south, Yan built the Great Wall along the Nanyishui River, called Yishui Great Wall to defend Yanxiadu in Yi County. When Zhang Yi talked about the King of Yan, he once said that Qin Xiajia Yunzhong, Jiuyuan, drove Zhao and attacked Yan, and the Yishui Great Wall was not the king.

When Jing Ke assassinated Qin, he left Yan and entered Zhao, leaving behind the masterpiece of Yishui songs for thousands of years. However, a thousand years later, the two sides of the southern Yishui River gathered together, and a war was about to begin.

The Yishui River is filled with people.

On the south bank of Yishui, flags were everywhere, and the Xia army's army drove all the way to the riverside.

Dou Jiande was on the bank of the river, looking at the Youzhou army lined up on the other side of the river, and suddenly waved his hand and shouted, "Which general is willing to build a bridge and pave the way for me?"

"I'm willing to go!" The answer was Wang Fubao, the number one general of the Xia army.

Dou Jiande promised his life.

Wang Fubao immediately led 10,000 soldiers of the front army forward, and five thousand people set up formations on the south bank, preparing to cross the river, and other five thousand soldiers tied air-filled cattle and sheep and urine bubbles around their waists, carried wooden stakes, long boards and other objects into the water to lay floating bridges.

The soldiers built floating bridges in the river water that was less than half of their waists.

At this time, late October autumn, the north wind blew, and the Yishui was cold. Although the soldiers drank a large bowl of coarse strong wine before going into the water, their faces turned blue and their lips were purple.

Despite the hard work of the soldiers, the Yishui River was seventy or eighty steps wide and the five thousand bridges took action together, and in an instant, six floating bridges spread straight to the heart of the river along the river surface.

As the sound of war drums as sudden rain passed by, the Xia soldiers raised their heads and saw that the Youzhou army's formation began to change on the river bank.

When Wang Fubao saw the scene, he immediately ordered the five thousand soldiers on the south bank: "The crossbowmen are ready to protect the brothers who cross the river."

The Xia army crossbowmen all took the arrows, and the five thousand soldiers of the bridge were uncovered. They were in the heart of the river and were most likely to be attacked by enemy arrows.

But the facts were beyond Wang Fubao's expectations. The Youzhou army raised a large shield, but the entire army retreated instead of advancing, and retreated thirty steps back, leaving a mudflat of more than 60 steps by the river beach, leaving it with the Xia army.

Even if the effective range of the farthest arm-opening crossbow is only a hundred steps, and ordinary bows and arrows are only sixty or seventy steps. Li Chongjiu is definitely not Duke Xiang of Song. Wang Fubao can see at a glance the intention of the Youzhou army to empty the mudflat.

"It is deliberately luring our army into the deep, attacking halfway through, and annihilated it on the river beach." Wang Fubao sneered, "Little did he know the truth that the battle was on the back and forth. The more he fought, the more courageous he became."

Wang Fubao was brave by nature and overcame difficulties. He fought countless hard battles, otherwise how could he defeat Liu Heita, Gao Yaxian and others and be the number one general under Dou Jiande.

Wang Fubao shouted: "Brothers, King Xia was watched by you behind him, wanting to be a wife and son, so the whole family of Duke and Marquis will speed up the bridge for me."

Inspired by Wang Fubao, the five thousand soldiers of the Xia army accelerated their movements.

Dou Jiande said to Dou Jiande: "King Xia, the Youzhou army must have been cheating, and begs King Xia to order General Zhang to withdraw his troops."

Dou Jiande said, "General Zhang is a general selected by me personally, and I believe him."

When Zhang Xuansu heard Dou Jiande say this, he stepped down and said nothing.

The soldiers of the Xia army in the water immediately accelerated. The speed of construction was built. In a blink of an eye, the floating bridge crossed the heart of the river and crossed two-thirds of the length of the river surface.

On the north bank of Yishui, Wang Mahan saw that the enemy's six pontoon bridges were progressing rapidly. The fastest pontoon bridge almost reached the opposite shore.

So Wang Mahan shouted: "Prepare for crossbowman!"

After Wang Mahan finished speaking, the front army put down the large oars together. The crossbowmen stood in three rows in front and back, and aimed the arrows of the Xia army soldiers who were repairing the river with cold light.

puff!

The bowstring collapsed, and countless arrows flew away. The soldiers of Xia Jun paving the bridge planted into the river with the whistling of arrows. The bubbles on the water surface flipped up, and a bright red color quickly filled the water surface.

The Youzhou Army's arrows did not catch the Xia army off guard. The infantry holding shields rushed to the floating bridge and guarded with shields.

In order to resist the invasion of the frontiers, people from Yan and Zhao have been able to ride and shoot at the same time since ancient times, and the arrow formation of the Youzhou Army is even more famous all over the world.

Dou Jiande had long heard of the defeat of the Khitan White Wolf Water, so before sending troops, he specially created three thousand large oars, giant shields, side cards, and one thousand iron armor to strengthen the protection of the soldiers.

The Youzhou Army's arrows caused a certain commotion to the Xia Army, but it did not hinder the throwing. The Xia Army paved the floating bridge across the river.

Finally, the second-row floating bridge in the left row was built on the northern bank of Yishui River.

Seeing the scene, the Xia army opposite the river bank cheered together, and the sound of cheering drums sounded pounding. Next to dozens of corpses falling from the river on the Yishui River, footsteps sounded on the floating bridge.

The footsteps were calm and powerful, as if each force was thrust into a thousand pounds, causing the floating bridge to sink. It turned out that the iron stream composed of heavy infantry of the Xia army was rapidly crossing the river from the floating bridge against the crowd.

This infantryman, holding an iron spear, a stud, and a heavy armor, was obviously crossing the river for the army, and erecting a solid position on the beach to meet the Xia army's army.

The Youzhou Army's arrows were shot even more violently. After the crossbowman, the archer also began to exert force. The archers of the Youzhou Army's military were selected from the first 70 steps and one of the six arrows.

He was holding a five-dove stairs bow in his hand. Now he was full of bows. He looked up at the sky forty-five degrees. With a command, countless arrows drew a parabola in the air and covered the Xia army's head.

The Xia army, wearing heavy armor, crossed the river, accidentally fell into the mud on the mud flats and was suddenly hit by the archer and crossbowmen. Although it did not hurt anyone, the formation suddenly became a little more chaotic.

Seeing this, Wang Mahan couldn't help laughing and said, "Are these iron turtles becoming mud turtles when they get into the mud?"

Wang Mahan shouted loudly, and the Youzhou infantry rushed forward with his spear without any politeness.

The fierce battle between the two armies on the river beach broke out, and the big shields of the soldiers on both sides suddenly pushed together, making a loud noise. The collision of steel and flesh echoed on the banks of the Yishui River, and the armies' spears of the two armies were pounding in the air.

The heavy infantry of the Xia army had to set up a landing land on the river bank for the robes, while the Youzhou army wanted to drive them into the water.

As Wang Fubao said, the Xia army fought with great courage in the back-to-earth battle, especially the heavy infantry who rushed across the river bank were all veterans of the Xia army who had been through many battles. They took ruthless actions and danced with one hand with a spear and a spear, and the iron armor on their bodies was made of iron leaves. Unless they were stabbed by guns, they would definitely not hurt the opponent by arrows and knifes.

Of course, the Youzhou Army is also an elite force in a hundred battles. If it is fought in a flat ground, it is hard to say which of the two armies wins and loses.

But what Wang Fubao did not expect was that the Yishui River beach was very muddy. The heavy infantry of the Xia army had twenty or thirty kilograms of iron armor on their bodies, plus more than ten kilograms of large shields and stair spears, and were wearing leather boots that were not covered in the bottom, which made them almost trapped in the mud and became trapped dragons.

The Xia army infantry fell in pain in the mud and water, and the Youzhou army infantry wearing straw sandals stepped forward, and there were only one shot.

Seeing that hundreds of infantrymen who were crossing the Xia army were about to be driven into the river, the Xia army soldiers on the south bank of the river were screaming.

Everyone said, General Wang has passed.

I saw that General Dou Jiande Wang Fubao, holding an iron spear, crossing the river with a thud. The soldiers on the floating bridge couldn't help but give way to him.

"Who can stop me!"

Wang Fubao shouted loudly, like a god descending to earth and storming into the Youzhou army formation.

The soldiers on both sides of the strait seemed to see Zhao Zilong resurrected in Changshan. Wang Fubao had an iron spear in his hand, shuttled along the river bank like a dragon.

Wherever Wang Fubao's iron spear arrived, the Youzhou army retreated urgently, and the Xia army's critical momentum immediately decreased, and then the danger was turned into safety. One of them was like entering a state of no one.

When the Youzhou Army, Wang Mahan saw the enemy general's mightyness, he couldn't help but say angrily: "That turtle, destroy my plan and take my big axe."

As soon as Wang Mahan finished speaking, Chen Ke, Zhao Quanting and more than a dozen generals were rushed up and stopped him, saying, "Before the war, Shanggu Gong must confess that the general is the leader of a army, and you must not go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, otherwise you will be punished."

When Wang Mahan saw this, he was furious and said, "I will dodge you all, otherwise I will chop you."

The generals stepped forward and hugged Wang Mahan desperately, and Wang Mahan stopped.

Seeing that Wang Fubao was so brave, the captain in front of the Youzhou Army also took special care of him. The archer crossbowmen in the back row were specifically looking for Wang Fubao to shoot.

Wang Fubao was still fighting bloody. He had long been covered with heavy armor with hemorrhage, and more than a dozen arrowheads were inserted into the armor. The soldiers of the Xia army were also desperate and they all gave up their bodies to block the arrows for him.

The Yi water surging, washing the river bank, and on the river beach, blood and flesh were covered with the ground. On the floating bridge, the Xia army soldiers rushed into the north bank one after another. They took the spear of the battle robe, followed Wang Fubao, and launched round after round of assaults on the Youzhou army.

Under Wang Fubao's fighting, three floating bridges were repaired together, and thousands of Xia soldiers gained a foothold on the other side of the river.

On the banks of the Yishui River, Dou Jiande had been watching the battle for a long time. He suddenly pulled out a long sword from his waist, stabbed into the sky and shouted loudly: "Xia Army, mighty!"

Nearly 100,000 Xia troops on the south bank of Yishui drew their swords to the sky, shouting in unison: "Magnificent!"

Then the soldiers slapped their shields with swords and shouted in unison, and suddenly they were thunderous and accompanied by war drums to cheer for the robes on the north bank.

On the high ground on the north bank of the river, Li Chongjiu saw the cheering scene of the Xia army, and his face changed, and he said to himself: "Dou Jiande's Xia army is indeed not as brave as ordinary rebels. Although it is not necessarily very brave and good at fighting, the whole army is so eager to fight, and it is really a strong enemy."
