Upon receiving the report from Deng Jiuru upstream that his forces had already crossed the river, Li Bao's main contingent, operating along the Jade Plate City river sector and under the Eldest Prince's command, began to launch more violent attacks on the opposite bank to support and coordinate with the Left Army.
Squads of Northern Army soldiers rowed furiously towards the opposite shore, while arrows rained down from both sides. Overturned boats and floating bodies littered the river.
The great river was a natural chasm. Before it, the Yan people's iron cavalry lost their usual sharpness; even the Northern Army was no exception. It was no wonder the Qian State had paid such a heavy price to manually dig the Bian River from the Qian River to protect their capital.
But the Northern Army was, after all, one of the world's finest elite forces. Even without horses, their morale and martial valor unequivocally marked them as formidable soldiers of their time.
