If the Ming army had only a few thousand or even ten thousand fewer troops than the Eight Banners, they could still defeat the enemy through formation.

but...

The total strength of the two sides differs by 20,000, and this disadvantage is difficult to make up for through tactics.

While I was anxious, I heard laughter beside me.

The Ming army soldiers around him were mocking the Korean soldiers on the other side of the river.

At this time, the North Korean soldiers on the other side of the river were still busy rescuing their companions.

The soldiers who fell into the water seemed to be unable to swim, but in fact they were all masters of water.

Before being rescued.

They kept "struggling" in the water but just wouldn't sink.

After being rescued.

They acted as if they were getting lucky again.

Thanks to the efforts of the North Korean soldiers on the shore, not only were all the companions who fell into the water rescued ashore, but all the floating boats that were scattered on the water were also brought back to shore.

"Hurry up and build a pontoon bridge to attack!" Jiannu's military supervisor shouted at the defender Li Shifang, "If you do something weird again, don't blame the Qing for being ruthless!"

Li Shifang had no choice but to give the order again: "Build a bridge and cross the river!"

"yes!"

North Korean soldiers gathered on the shore again and began to build a bridge to cross the river.

The difference from last time was that this time no one fell into the water and no one lost or capsized the pontoon.

They pieced the pontoons together and laid wooden planks on them.

The floating bridge began to grow like a greedy snake, and soon spread from the east bank of Xiaoling River to the west bank.

"Kill!" The first wave of 500 Korean soldiers began to land with various protective gear and weapons.

"Deputy General Lin," Liu Zhaoji looked at Lin Qingye, "how should we fight this battle?"

Lin Qingye thought for a moment and said, "According to the agreement, we only need to send a few hundred cavalrymen to make a symbolic charge to drive them back to the other side of the river."

"Okay!" Liu Zhaoji nodded. "I'll give you 800 cavalrymen, and Deputy General Lao Lin will lead the team to drive back the Korean soldiers who have crossed the river."
