Logically speaking, there had just been a heavy rainstorm, and although the conditions on the ground in front of the formation were not completely unsuitable for a charge by war horses, charging with fine cavalry at this time was not considered optimal.

 But Sima Yi, who was as steady as an old tortoise, finally seized such a rare opportunity at this time.

At this time, nearly 10,000 elite soldiers on the east bank were cut off from the west bank. Not to mention annihilating them all, they would be driven into the water...

Thinking better, Zhuge Liang can be forced to retreat without even saying anything.

Even if Zhuge Liang refused to leave, the Han army would be severely weakened and unable to launch another attack in a short period of time.

As long as it can be delayed, Zhuge Liang's logistics will definitely not be able to delay him.

 And Feng Thief was blocked on the north side of Qiaoshan.

 As time goes by, won’t everyone have to retreat in the end?

 Such a big temptation, even Sima Yi couldn't help but use the fine cavalry to give it a try in advance.

 In the Battle of Xiaoguan, although Governor Feng killed Cao Zhen and made him cross the water in a hurry, he also exposed his trump card.

Who knows how to use stirrups?

 The elite cavalry of the Wei army charging at this time were naturally equipped with stirrups, and when they charged, they were completely different from before.

 This was the first time that the Han army encountered a charge by cavalry equipped with stirrups.

"kill!"

 The Jingqi, who rushed through the arrow net at the fastest speed, stepped on the mud and water, and rushed towards the Han army camp like a whirlwind.

Facing the elite cavalry, which was much faster than the infantry, Meng Yan's Tiger Infantry crossbowmen had to retreat into the infantry formation in advance after firing two rounds of arrows, pick up their spears and spears, and prepare to meet the enemy.

 The fine cavalry slammed into the infantry formation.

 Many people in the front row of infantry vomited blood on the spot.

These days, the Wei army has been pressing hard.

 The Han army was not allowed to set up antlers and trenches at all.

 Now we can only use our lives to stop it as soon as possible.

But at the same time, spears were thrust out like a forest of spears, and the cavalry at the front were either dismounted, or both men and horses were stabbed through.

Seeing that the first wave of probing attacks by the Jingqi were easily resolved by the Han army, Sima Yi frowned subconsciously and immediately realized that he was a little too anxious.

However, he quickly adjusted his mentality:

"General Niu, I give you three thousand armored warriors. Listen to my orders and lead the army to attack!"

 “No!”

 In a bad fight in mud, I have the advantage.

The elite cavalry is temporarily out of use. As long as the Han army on the west bank cannot support them in time, even infantry can kill this elite Han army.

 The third wave of Wei troops attacked quickly.

 Compared to yesterday, the pace is much faster.

Wei Yan knew that the Wei thief on the opposite side wanted to stay on the east bank forever.

 The speed of building the bridge is much slower than expected.

It is much slower to build a pontoon bridge with bridge piles in the water than to simply build a pontoon bridge on the water.

 Several pontoons can be erected in a day using a simple pontoon bridge. If the materials are sufficient, even a dozen can be built easily.

But it is much more troublesome to build a pontoon bridge with vertical bridge piles. In addition, due to the rush of time and lack of preparation, one cannot be built in one day.

Night fell quickly, and Wei Yan and Meng Yan finally defended the camp under repeated attacks by the Wei army.

 In front of the two armies' formations, a lot of mud had turned into red mud.

Some blood and water had nowhere to go, so it could only stay in the depression, attracting some fish-loving insects.

 Meng Yan, who was a little tired, came to Wei Yan and suggested:

"General Wei, in my opinion, the Prime Minister will be able to build the bridge tomorrow. Then you can lead the army to retreat first, and I will cut off the general's rear."

Unexpectedly, Wei Yan shook his head with an expressionless face:

"General Meng led the army here earlier than me. His soldiers have been fighting for days and must have been exhausted. This time we retreat, General Meng will lead the army to retreat first, and I will break up the rear."

Meng Yan was secretly relieved when he heard that Wei Yan was willing to cooperate in returning to the east bank.

 As for who comes first and who comes last, it doesn’t really matter.

 He nodded:

 “Then it’s settled.”

 It’s June day, the child’s face.

On the second day, the flaming morning glow held up a huge golden-red wheel, which was spitting out from the distant ridge, scattering thousands of rays of light into the light blue sky.

The sun has just risen, and people can already feel the heat.

 The blood, mud and water on the ground begin to evaporate at the fastest speed, and by noon, when the sun is at its strongest, they will become dry.

 In addition to the dark red soil, there are still evidences of yesterday's fighting.

 But Sima Yi seemed to be unable to wait until noon.

 When the sun rises, it is a favorable opportunity for the Wei army who is carrying the sun on its back.

 This is a small opportunity.

When two armies are facing each other, a qualified commander cannot let go of any opportunity that is beneficial to his side.

"Hurry up!"

Although the rain has stopped, the water level in Wugong water has not dropped at all, except that it is muddier than yesterday.

If it doesn’t rain again in the next three days, the water in Wugong may return to normal.

 But who can guarantee it?

Not to mention how long the soldiers on the east bank can withstand the intensive attack of the Wei army is still a question.

 So Zhang Bao was very anxious and kept urging him.

 Because we had people working all night long last night, we finally made enough bamboo shoots.

 Today's bridge construction speed is much faster than yesterday.

 “Crash!”

The sergeants struggled to push the bamboo shoots filled with large rocks into the water to serve as anchors, and then fixed the raft to the bamboo raft with anchor ropes tied to the bamboo shoots.

Coupled with the stakes and ropes across the two banks and the bamboo rafts connected to each other, this kind of floating bridge is much stronger.

Soon, the pontoon extended to the opposite shore at a speed visible to the naked eye.

 When the last piece of bamboo raft was fixed to the bridge pile, the soldiers of the engineering battalion couldn't help cheering:

 “It’s done!”

 Zhang Bao was the first to run up and jumped twice hard.

 It was found that even under the current conditions of Wugong Water, this kind of floating bridge did not shake like ordinary floating bridges.

 He was immediately overjoyed:

“Hurry, hurry, go tell the Prime Minister that the floating bridge is ready!”

 He looked at Wenshi and thought to himself:

 My brother-in-law... Bah, I mean, it does make sense for Feng Wenhe to set up a separate engineering battalion.

 Before leaving for the expedition, the queen secretly informed Zhang Bao that her little sister had become pregnant by someone.

Had it not been for the Northern Expedition, Zhang Bao would have had no choice but to rush to Liangzhou on horseback with a gun and poke six transparent holes in Mr. Feng.

 Why six?

 Because Zhang Bao has parents, a younger brother, and two younger sisters. Plus himself, isn’t that exactly six?

 Although the Zhang family has acquiesced in the younger sister's affairs over the years.

Although I had long expected that such a day would come.

When it really happened, Zhang Bao found that he still couldn’t accept it.

 It’s just that Feng Wenhe was of great use to His Majesty and the Queen, and also saved his own life, so six minus three, there are still three transparent holes to poke.

At present, the engineering battalion has done a good thing, which is equivalent to saving the lives of many soldiers, then... add another transparent hole?

Regardless of Zhang Bao's wild thoughts, Wuzhangyuan learned that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait were connected, and sent additional cavalry messengers to urgently order Wei Yan and Meng Yan to retreat.

“General, the pontoon bridge has been built, and the Prime Minister has sent an order, asking us to find an opportunity to retreat immediately!”

While the Wei army was retreating, Meng Yan personally found Wei Yan and once again conveyed the prime minister's military order.

 Wei Yan did not look at Meng Yan. He kept looking at Wei Jun opposite:
