For cavalry, a moving infantry formation is more vulnerable than a stationary formation.
Because the infantry formation had been positioned with numerous horse traps and lassos.
If cavalry were to advance, their horses would stumble and fall before they even reached the infantry formation, throwing them into disarray.
Now that the entire army has moved, those horse traps and lassos are useless and completely ineffective.
However, now is not the time to launch a counterattack.
Liu Wei planned to wait until He Jin and Yuan Shao had fully assembled their thousand infantrymen and five hundred cavalrymen before unleashing their fury.
I want to eat a big one in one bite!
If they could rout these 1,500 soldiers in one fell swoop, they would have achieved their predetermined goal.
"Quickly send orders to the fortress to bring the ships over and burn them in front of Liu Wei!"
Seeing that Liu Wei had already killed all the assassins and was chasing He Jin's guards toward the mudflats, Yuan Shao gave a signal to the fortress to respond and set the fire on fire again.
In Yuan Shao's view, whether Liu Wei wanted to eliminate Yuan Shao and He Jin's trusted soldiers or had other plans, he would eventually have to cross the Yellow River and could not stay here forever!
Without a boat, Liu Wei could only look at the river from the south bank and sigh in despair.
Seeing the ferry destroyed would cause him immense psychological stress, even if he didn't rush to rescue it.
It's all down to one step; success or failure hinges on this!
With Jian Shuo likely to arrive by noon tomorrow, He Jin and Yuan Shao were running out of time!
Soon, a great fire suddenly broke out on the Yellow River, and two fire ships were pushed out of the fortress, illuminating the river surface red.
Although Li Ying and his soldiers were observing the situation, they tried their best not to participate in the battle, prioritizing their own safety.
However, Yuan Shao's order for him to set fire to the ships was indeed without any problem.
Upon receiving the order, Li Ying immediately carried it out.
"Burning the boats? What are they doing? Are they trying to burn the boats and prevent us from crossing the river?"
Seeing the two large, burning ships on the river, Liu Wei seemed to be deep in thought.
Once we defeat He Jin and Yuan Shao, we won't have to worry about not having a boat to cross the river.
Don't you know that my main objective is to annihilate all of you who are in Mengjin today?
"My lord, what should we do?" Yan Da asked Wang Fangyi.
"Ignore it and proceed according to our original plan," Liu Wei said calmly.
He Jin's guards had already run into the reeds, looking back as they ran. They were very pleased to see that Li Wei and his men had caught up.
It seems the mission has been successfully completed. I need to hurry and get through the reeds, or I'll get burned!
Because once Liu Wei and his men entered the reeds, Yuan Shao would have his men fire rockets to set the reeds ablaze, turning Liu Wei and his guards into roasted pigs.
He Jin's guards certainly didn't want to become bait that they would never return from!
