"Do not retreat! Follow me and charge!"
Li Hongyun shouted loudly, but the scattered soldiers simply did not listen to him.
After all, his current identity was just that of a common soldier, without any official rank or status—who would heed him?
Li Hongyun was at a loss. How could this battle be fought?
You should know, even if it were necessary to replicate Zhao Binfu's tactics at the time, there were conditions needed for that!
Zhao Binfu had arrived when the Jin Army was planning to cross the river. Although it was also urgent, there was at least some preparation time.
He gathered the generals, rewarded the troops, used stirring words to motivate the soldiers to resist to the death, and organized local militia and civilians for support. He had prearranged the entire defense of Niu Zhu Pier, making proper arrangements for troops on both land and water.
