Since the Wei family was willing to be the vanguard of the army, Yang Fan naturally enjoyed seeing it.

On this day, the cold wind whistled and the scorching sun shone brightly.

Even when wearing a coat, Yang Fan felt that the temperature was quite cold.

On the north bank of the Yellow River, Yang Fan sat high on the platform, watching the 10,000 army composed of the Wei family's children and their tenant farmers by the river being prepared to cross the river.

Wei Ji and Wei Zhen were wearing military uniforms and were standing in front of the army. Wei Zhen tied his head with a red cloth strip, constantly encouraging the morale of the temporarily pieced together army in front of him.

However, no matter how he spoke to motivate the people, the morale of these people was always low. Yang Fan could not bear it, so he ordered people to carry several wooden boxes filled with gold and silver to put them in front of the military formation.

Guo Jia was familiar with the road of boosting morale. He stood in front of the military formation, pointed at the gold and silver, and whispered loudly: "As a pioneer, you should move forward bravely, how can you wince forward? Now that gold and silver are in front of you, everyone has the money to settle down, the two parts of dead and the three parts of living, they will be immediately cashed in. They are all men with the hands. Whether they dare to do it or not, they will fart. If they dare, they will take the money on the boat. If they dare, they will not make things difficult for you. Take off their armor and leave by themselves."

As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards. In ancient times, when there is profit, there must be advancement and no profit will be achieved. Looking at the boxes of yellow and white things, this group of temporarily recruited troops was deeply trapped in it.

"I'm afraid, I'm done!"

"On the Ji, it's better to fight for the future than to live cowardly."

"I want my mother to have a good New Year. I've done this..."

......

Guo Jia's few words completely inspired morale. The soldiers came forward to collect money, and then asked the clerks to record and send them to different places to hand them over to their relatives.

To be honest, these people are just cannon fodder. Yang Fan naturally would not let his army cross the river first and test the depth of the enemy. It was also a helpless move to choose this group of mobs.

After all, Haikou has already boasted that if he does not take down Hongnong and Zhang Ji, it will be a great blow to the Yang family army. Even if there are many people, Yang Fan will forcefully cross the Yellow River and attack Hongnong.

“Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo…”

"Dongdongdongdongdong..."

The melodious horn and dull drum sound suddenly rang out, as if it had torn open the red glow of the sky and shattered the vast white clouds.

As the pioneer officer, Wei Ji took the lead in leaving the ferry and quickly rowed towards the other side of the river. Then, ships carrying several people or dozens of people followed closely behind.

For a moment, thousands of sails competed on the water surface of the Yellow River, which was so spectacular. Yang Fan also clenched his fists and watched carefully the water duel of different land battles.

On the south bank of the Yellow River, ten thousand soldiers were waiting for the battle. Wei Kang was in front of the battle. Wei Kang was dressed in military uniform and was not afraid of the first time he went to the battlefield. However, he had only a little understanding of the water battle.

When Wei Ji led his troops to cross the Yellow River, he didn't know how to deal with it. Zhang Xiu beside him hurriedly reminded: "Brother Wei, don't be anxious. Our army only needs to attack him halfway, and it will definitely catch the Yang family army off guard."

Wei Kang deeply agreed with Zhang Xiu's words. When the warship had just rowed to the center of the Yellow River, Wei Kang gave the order and countless rockets shot out from his army formation.

When the sun was scorching, Wei Ji only saw a black light suddenly flying from the enemy formation and shooting towards the sky. When he looked up, he felt that the sun was dazzling and there was nothing wrong with it.

However, Wei Zhen was a 'veteran' who had fought with Cao Cao. When the black light appeared, he felt like he fell into an ice cave. At this time, there was no time to remind Wei Ji. He hurriedly shouted at his own ships around him: "Be careful, be careful of the enemy's bows and arrows, hide... and hide for me..."

However, on the surface of the Yellow River, there were more than a thousand ships stretching for several miles, and their Wei family members had never joined the army to fight. How could they know what Wei Zhen meant? However, there were still some cautious people who raised their shields and danced their swords after hearing his words.

After seeing this, Yang Fan, who was watching the battle on the shore, frowned and cursed in a deep voice: "A bastard, you dare to ask for your order to be a vanguard if you don't work with military force. Facing the attack of the enemy's arrow formation, you don't even order your soldiers to raise their shields to resist. It's extremely stupid!"

Guo Jia and Xun You smiled bitterly when they heard this. They thought that Yang Fan would send the Wei family's children to cross the river first, just to let them go and die. But at this time, they heard Yang Fan's angry words, which made the two of them unable to guess what Yang Fan was thinking for a moment.

At this moment, the rocket had already landed, the rolling Yellow River and the surging water surface were covered with a layer of tulle of flames.

"ah......"

"It's on fire...the ship is on fire..."

"My eyes..."

.........

The screams of the children of the Wei family were rising and falling on the Yellow River. Some ships were ignited, and more because people collided with each other and trampled over in panic.

As the enemy's rain of arrows came, the Wei family's attack was blocked from the Yellow River and could not move forward or retreat.

Under the escort of several soldiers, Wei Ji was also covered in dust. Looking at the sunken ships and the children in the family who were constantly calling for help in the river, a feeling of grief and anger arose in Wei Ji's heart. At this time, Wei Zhen swam over from a distance and came to Wei Ji and said anxiously: "Cousin, are you going or retreating, are you saying something?"

It turned out that Wei Zhen could not wait for Wei Ji's military order for a long time, so he took off his armor, swam alone, and asked in person.

Hearing Wei Zhen's roar, Wei Ji came to his senses and asked stammeringly: "Dang... cousin, you... say... we should... what should we do... be good?"

Seeing Wei Ji panic, Wei Zhen sighed slightly in his heart, glanced at the extremely chaotic river surface, and smiled bitterly: "Cousin, our army's formation is already chaotic, morale is unstable, and the morale of the army is lost. It is better to retreat early. Otherwise, we will definitely die in the Yellow River."

"Ah?" Wei Ji stared at him and asked anxiously: "Then...will we fail?"

Wei Ji vowed in front of Yang Fan last night, and just wanted to make a military order. This morning, it was also a reward of a lot of money, and his morale was high. It was a great time to take over the other side of the Yellow River in one go. Now he was going to retreat in a hurry, and it was inevitable that he would be a bit of a terrible start. Moreover, Yang Fan had not yet withdrawn, and if he retreated like this, he would really not be able to raise his head under Yang Fan's command in the future.

At this moment of crisis, Wei Ji made up his mind and gritted his teeth and said, "No, you can't withdraw your troops. The lord is watching from behind. How can we retreat like this? Wouldn't that be looked down upon by other colleagues? Besides, Zhongdao has become a big trouble for the lord. If we withdraw, Guo Jia and the others will catch the handle and say in front of the lord that our Wei family is not. Gong Zhen, we can only win and not lose in this battle. The future of the Hedong Wei family will be on our shoulders!"

Wei Zhen looked surprised and said to himself that it was already this time, Wei Ji still had such courage. In addition, what he said was the truth. Originally, after the Wei family had happened to Wei Ning, Guo Jia and others would be rude to them without slandering them. If this battle was really defeated, it would be as Wei Ji said, and the Wei family's situation in the future would be worrying.

Thinking of this, Wei Zhen began to admire Wei Ji and asked quickly: "Cousin, then what should we do?"

After considering it, Wei Ji asked back: "Cousin, you are proficient in martial arts. What should we do?"

Wei Zhen replied without thinking: "In such a dilemma, we can only send a team of dead soldiers to cross the Yellow River, as the vanguard of our army, land on the beach, harass the enemy's army, and buy time for our army in the future!"

The troops attacked this time were originally a miscellaneous brand that Wei Ji gathered in a hurry, which was three points worse than ordinary military forces. In addition, they were crossing the river to fight, and most of the ships were fishing boats of local people. They were not big in size and had no bows and arrows to suppress the enemy. For the sake of this, Wei Zhen was really the only way.

Wei Ji suddenly took Wei Zhen's hand and said solemnly: "Gong Zhen, we are the only one who knows martial arts here. Why not let you take your family's children to the vanguard of our army and land on the beach and wait for Brother Yu to organize good men and ships, and then come to support you! How about it?"

Looking at Wei Ji's hopeful eyes, from his tone, you can tell how anxious he was at this moment. Wei Zhen originally wanted to refuse, but he didn't know what to say.

Wei Ji sighed and bowed to Wei Zhen and said, "Dong Zhen, at this critical moment, a real man should stand up. For the sake of the Wei family, Brother Yu asks you. If this battle is won, Brother Yu will abdicate and give way to the virtuous. In the future, the second uncle will be the head of the Wei family and command the Wei family. How about it?"

With such temptation, Wei Zhen could not find any reason to refuse, so he nodded and replied: "Okay, cousin, please be optimistic! I will definitely not disappoint you!"

Such a situation could not be delayed. After Wei Zhen received the order, he went to organize a suicide squad. Soon, more than 20 fast ships suddenly rowed quickly towards the south bank of the Yellow River. There were only more than ten soldiers on each ship. Their eyes were cold and their movements were uniform. Even when facing the oncoming arrows, they were not afraid and only rowed the oars with all their efforts.

Yang Fan, who was about to order the Jinjin to withdraw his troops, also saw the fleet and said in surprise: "Look, the Wei family is not all people with a good meal. There are still people who can see the key to this battle. It's really rare!"

Guo Jia shook his head and smiled, "It must be Wei Zhen's idea. However, it is hard for a good cook to cook without rice. It is difficult to break the deadlock with just these more than 20 Clippers and more than 300 people!"

Xun Yu nodded and agreed: "I agree with Fengxiao's words. The formation of the Wei family has been in chaos and the morale of the army is lost. Even if the group of people really successfully landed on the beach, the only way to destroy is to follow, and there is no other way!"
