Six hundred and seventieth chapters crossing the river(2/2)

Wang Hou suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

If I were the commander, the whole army would be responsible for this.

At this moment, I saw several fire boats suddenly emerging from the upper reaches of the river.

The fireboat was loaded with firewood and was rushing towards the pontoon bridge.

The water flow was very fast, and when the Song army tried to stop it, it was too late, and the fire ship immediately hit the first pontoon bridge.

There was a carriage on the pontoon bridge that could not move forward or retreat. Suddenly, the carriage and the horse-drawn bridge were in flames. The pontoon bridge was burned out in an instant, and then the second pontoon bridge was burned down.

Damn it, the party members are so cunning and scheming.

Wang Hou was filled with hatred.

Once the pontoon bridge was broken, the thousands of Tibetan troops crossing the river were unable to return to the river bank for support.

At this time, Zhang Yue and Wang Hou looked back towards the valley and saw two groups of soldiers and horses coming from the east and west.

One of Wang Shao's subordinates, Yu Hou, was counting the party's troops and immediately reported: "The judge knows that there are two heads of troops, which is almost between seven thousand and eight thousand!"

Wang Shao nodded and said, "I see the same thing."

The Song army that remains on the river bank and has not yet crossed the river has three thousand regular troops and seven or eight thousand auxiliary troops. Although the number is larger than that of the party members, the chance of victory is actually quite low.

Wang Shao said: "The soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it! It's not that easy for the party's cavalry to break through my tent! Each department performs its duties and follows me to defend the enemy. If there is any retreat, kill them!"

Zhang Yue was also focused on playing the drums at this moment. He silently picked up his bow and arrow and stood under Wang Shao's commanding banner.

Tang Jiu and Wang Gong also guarded him on the left and right with vigilant faces.

Tang Jiu said in a low voice: "Sir, if we are going to fight for a while, you'd better retreat farther away. If you can't, we'll be here to block you, so you can hold your horse and swim across the river."

Wang Gong nodded after hearing this.

After hearing Tang Jiu's words, Zhang Yue suddenly felt humiliated, and thought that as a civil servant, what could he do?
