The devil is coming

Chapter 306: All the waves are gone ([-])
In the Yupan City river area, after receiving a report from Deng Jiuru upstream that they had crossed the river, in order to respond and cooperate with the left route army upstream, under the order of the eldest prince, Li Bao's headquarters began to attack more violently. Launch an attack on the other side.
Groups of Zhenbei soldiers rode boats toward the other side. Arrows from both sides were like rain. Overturned boats and floating corpses could be seen everywhere on the river.
A natural moat is a natural moat. In front of the river, the Yan people's cavalry lost their former sharpness, even the Zhenbei Army was no exception. Therefore, it is no wonder that the Qian Kingdom deliberately dug out a Bian River from the Qianjiang River at a huge cost. He came to protect his capital.
But the Zhenbei Army is still the best in the world. Even without horses, its morale and bravery can definitely be regarded as the most powerful soldiers in the world.
After several attempts, the Zhenbei Army successfully broke through and reached the other side, and then quickly tried to form a formation to cover the arrival of subsequent troops.
However, the previous several times were because the rebels' counterattacks were too fierce, causing them to fail to stand on the shore, and they all failed in the end.
It's like siege a city, one wave after another, trying to gain points and gain an arrancar.
However, when several Yan troops who had sneaked across the bank a few days ago suddenly rushed out from the other side of the bank under the order of the eldest prince, they successfully disrupted the position of the rebels on the other bank.
Finally, a team of more than [-] people successfully landed on the ferry and stabilized their position. Immediately, the subsequent Zhenbei Army began to continue transportation.
On the other hand, the rebel side finally lost control of their morale. They could no longer organize death-defying soldiers to expel the Yan people on the shore as before.
Firstly, the sudden appearance of the Yan cavalry on their side brought them great psychological pressure. Secondly, the rebels were still mainly composed of rabble-rousers from all walks of life, with only a small number of real elites.
And that small part was actually consumed in the initial fighting on the shore.
Without the support of their backbone, the other rebels immediately began to languish.
"Your Highness, it seems that not only the left army is about to break through, but we are also about to break through!"
After seeing another group of ships transporting eight hundred soldiers, Li Bao finally couldn't hold back his excitement and walked to the eldest prince and said.
A man who was born in the north and fights in the desert. This is his first time in his life to have a water fight.
This big river almost made Li Bao depressed to death, but at least, the hole has been torn open, and the main force of the savages is not here. It is only a matter of time to seize the other side.
Moreover, to a certain extent, capturing the other side is tantamount to successfully crossing the river, and successfully crossing the river, then Yupan City will be within easy reach.
The reason is very simple. This place is not far from Yupan City. The rebels, that is, Situ Yi's small court supported by the savages, will definitely line up their troops on the shore for defense, and will not foolishly put their troops away. On the city wall, wait for the Yan people to cross the river and then attack or besiege the city.
In other words, Yupan City should be an empty city at this time!
The balance of victory has been pulled down by himself and others. Yan is destined to be invincible!
The eldest prince took a deep breath. He was young after all, and at this time, he was inevitably a little excited.
The main force of the left army should have crossed the river. If his side also breaks through, then Wangjiang will be completely torn apart.
After capturing Yupan City, and then all the way to the easternmost part of Chengguo, the terrain is basically flat. Whether the barbarians fight or retreat, Ji Wujiang can deal with it more calmly.
The Yan army is still the most majestic on their war horses, and they are more comfortable to use.
The most important thing is that without the support of Situ Yi, the puppet imperial court, the barbarian guest army will also lose all support on this land.
However, at this moment, the messenger came quickly:
"Report!!!!!!!!! Chu warships appeared upstream, blocking the river!"
what!
The eldest prince and Li Bao looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
Chu people, why do Chu people appear here!
How could the Chu people who were fighting among themselves appear here!
"Report!!!!!!! The main force of the savages raided the left army camp!"
"Report!!!!!!! The left army camp is in a fierce battle!"
"Straight bitch, what's going on? No wonder we didn't see any savages here. It turns out the main force is upstream!"
Li Bao cursed loudly, his chest heaving.
The appearance of the Chu people and their navy directly disrupted the rhythm and layout of the battlefield, becoming a huge unknown.
Li Bao is a veteran general in the army. His experience in leading troops is much richer than that of Deng Jiuru, who is older than him. If it is the Zhenbei Army, then that's it. The soldiers of the Zhenbei Army are used to fighting with barbarians in the desert. When fighting, even when sleeping at night, the handle of the knife is used to being held in his hand.
If the Jingnan Army was able to enforce orders and prohibitions because of Marquis Jingnan's strict military discipline, then the Zhenbei Army relied on this instinct that they had learned through fighting in the desert.
When he went south to Qianguo, Li Fusheng, as the commander-in-chief of an army, dared to throw himself into the camp and cause trouble, because even without his command, the soldiers and horses under his command knew how to cooperate in fighting.
But what is the Left Army?
There were many military leaders, from one family to the general and this family to the general, this family was related by marriage to that family, and that family was feuding with this family. If the eldest prince hadn't reorganized the left army after entering Yingdu, they wouldn't even have supplies of food and grass. Distribution can lead to fights!
There is no need to think about what kind of chaos this group of people would have just crossed the river, and if they were attacked by the main force of savages at this time, what would happen...
The most important thing is that the Chu navy blocked the river. The main force of the left army that crossed the river had no way to withdraw, and subsequent reinforcements could not be reinforced.
The Left Army became a lone army!
"Your Highness?"
Li Bao looked at the eldest prince.
At this juncture, it was still up to the eldest prince to make the decision.
It's not that Li Bao deliberately pushed the matter to the eldest prince, nor is it that he, Li Bao, is afraid of taking responsibility, but now Wangjiang, who seems to be harassing various opera houses,
For Yan Jun now,
There are only two ways to go.
One,
Just call the gold and withdraw your troops.
The Left Route Army depends on the fate of the Left Route Army and Deng Jiuru.
Because after the Yan army entered the country, they never had large-scale conflicts with the barbarians. The barbarians had always avoided fighting in the early stage and were obviously conserving their strength. In addition, when the three families were divided into Jin Dynasty, both the Situ family and the Helian family , can go out to fight and bully the savages from time to time, and his Marquis of Jingnan can cross the snowy fields with only [-] cavalry. This undoubtedly made Li Bao and other generals underestimate the combat effectiveness of the savages.
Deng Jiuru's side, as long as he defends it well, he should be able to defend it, right?
After all, it was Dayan's army. It couldn't possibly be overwhelmed by the savages all at once, right?
The second option,
That is to continue to attack this place, regardless of whether the Chu navy is here or not, whether it comes or not, break through this place, take Yupan City, and the battle situation will be reversed immediately.
Even, to put it bluntly, when both sides of the river are controlled by the Yan army, it doesn’t matter when the Chu navy sneaks upstream. As long as they are still eager to fight and don’t escape quickly, then sooner or later those ships will have their last name. Ji!
In fact, there was another reason that Li Bao couldn't tell.
That's why His Majesty asked the eldest prince to coordinate the military leaders from all walks of life in the territory. His intention to integrate these military leaders and their troops is very clear.
Even if we try to speculate again, if it really doesn’t work, it’s okay to consume them...
The eldest prince's eyes narrowed and he looked at Li Bao.
Li Bao was also looking at him, and the two of them looked at each other.
The eldest prince immediately said to the messenger next to him:
"Detect the movements of the Chu Navy!"
"As ordered!"
Immediately, the eldest prince drew out his saber and growled:
"I, Ji Wujiang, as the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expedition Army, will never do anything like that and refuse to save the pair!"
When Li Bao heard this, he lowered his head and saluted with one fist. He understood.
"Li Bao!"
"The end is here!"
"Move Gu's personal camp directly up. Gu must personally board the ship and capture the opposite bank. Our army has not lost yet. We only need to capture the other bank and Yupan City. This situation is still under our control! "
Hearing this, Li Bao immediately said:
"Your Highness, this is too reckless. The general is willing to take charge personally, and also asks Your Highness to sit in the army. You are the commander-in-chief of the army, so you must not make any mistakes!"
"I have decided to be alone. No need to say more. You and I both know that there is a Chu navy across the river. If we can't capture the other side this time, when the Chu navy goes down the river again and isolates this place, the other side will be blocked." It will be impossible for us to defeat Yupan City again.
The Left Army must be saved!
Deng Jiuru, regardless of whether he can hold it or not, even if he holds it, if our army cannot cross the river to respond, the left army will not be able to hold on for long! "
The eldest prince raised his sword, chopped off his cloak, and shouted:
"Guard camp, board the ship with me!"
"I will obey!"
"I will obey!"
Surrounded by a group of personal guards, the eldest prince came to the shore and boarded the boat. He rowed the oars himself and began to cross the river.
Li Bao said "haha" twice, and he did not stop Ji Wujiang's behavior. To put it bluntly, the lives of Ji's family have become slightly more valuable in recent years.
Back then, the Ji family was not only a prince, but also an emperor. If they died in battle, they would die in battle. Who can say that?
As a military general, Li Bao said that the eldest prince should not take risks, but his heart was actually quite turbulent.
As members of the Zhenbei Army, when the Marquis of Zhenbei was acting with His Majesty, their subordinates often thought of breaking into Tiancheng County, conquering Yanjing, and seizing the emperor's throne for their own marquis to sit on.
Even later, before the princess decided to marry the prince, their thoughts did not go away.
However, as the Marquis of Zhenbei took the initiative to cut up the Zhenbei army, everyone knew that the Marquis did not want to rebel and dominate the world, and everyone settled down.
right now,
Look again,
Row,
The Ji family man still has his passion, but it doesn't make people feel so disappointed.
Thinking of this,
Li Bao immediately shouted:
"Trapped in camp, board the ship with me!"
"General, you have gone to the main hall and you have gone too. What should we do here?"
Li Bao's general Sui Yuanyi immediately dissuaded him.
He is Li Bao's son-in-law and his favorite general.
"You have to figure it out yourself. If you can't take Yupan City, there's no need to fight this battle at all!"
The Chu people's navy crossed the river. After the emergence of this navy, the difficulty of the Yan army's crossing the river will increase exponentially, because it is impossible for the Yan army to summon a navy in a short time.
At the same time, the Yan army will most likely lose its left army.
This will directly affect and change the strategic situation of the entire Chengguo war situation. Even if the left army is ineffective, it is still a regular army of the Yan state. Its combat power cannot be compared with Zhenbei Jingnan. However, the Eastern Expedition army suddenly lost tens of thousands. Battle, how else do you want to handle it?
"Trapped in camp, board the ship!"
At this moment, the second batch of ferries had arrived. Under Li Bao's order, soldiers from the trapped camp began to board the boats.
Each of the six towns of the Zhenbei Army has a trap camp, which is the essence of the soldiers and horses in the town. However, when there is a fierce battle, the trap camp must take the lead and act as the arrow for the entire army.
At the moment, Li Bao is considered to be at the end of his rope.
If the other side cannot be breached and Yupan City cannot be taken, let’s all apologize to His Majesty together!
there,
The eldest prince led his personal guard camp to the shore, and the Yan army originally stationed on the shore had already expanded a large area before the eldest prince arrived.
When the eldest prince came up, the Yan army on the shore not only received another wave of reinforcements, but also had a great morale boost. On the contrary, the morale of the Chengguo rebels above them was instantly depressed to the extreme.
In fact, as a general of an army, bright armor is of great use. A general is the courage and soul of an army. To use an inappropriate metaphor, when people are fighting on the battlefield, their emotions will fluctuate greatly. , and when people are hesitant and confused, after seeing the figure of the general, they really feel like a wanderer seeing his biological father and mother.
Therefore, in cold weapon wars at home and abroad in ancient and modern times, it is almost an established rule that generals wear particularly bright armor.
When Marquis Jingnan led his army to conquer the snowy plains, he didn't even need to speak at all, he just used himself as an arrow to charge forward, which was extremely terrifying for the morale boost of his knights.
Of course, Zheng Fan from Shengle City had to regretfully give up the privilege of being in the limelight for the sake of the safety of the demon kings.
The Chengguo rebels on the shore also saw the figure of the eldest prince, but it was really invisible because the armor on them, whether it was the eldest prince himself or his personal barracks, was too bright.
The opponent's general, the legendary Prince of Yan who led the army, has already landed in person. There is not a single figure of His Majesty the Emperor on his side. I am really afraid of comparison in everything.
"Yan Jun obeys the order!"
The eldest prince raised his sword and shouted.
"Take a hundred steps forward!"
With the supplement of the guard battalion, the Yan army began to rush forward with all its strength, and it forced the counterattack in an almost arrogant and unreasonable way!
The Chengguo rebels on the shore are still resisting, but this resistance is getting weaker and weaker. They are more numerous than the Yan army who landed on the shore, but their morale is no longer comparable.
As they advanced all the way, deserters began to appear among the Chengguo rebels.
This phenomenon is contagious, and over time, more and more collapses begin.
If reinforcements from the rebels arrive at this time, the situation may be able to be stabilized again, but it is obvious that there are no more reinforcements in Yupan City.
The eldest prince knew in his heart that since the main force of the savages is upstream, this place must be empty. As long as he survives, fights, and kills, he can eventually tear open this line of defense!
Originally, perhaps they were concerned about the cost of casualties and wanted to encroach on Wangjiang River in the safest and least costly way, but now, they can only fight to the death.
Fortunately,
It became.
After a fight,
The eldest prince reached out to pull out the arrow that had been shot into the gap between his shoulder armor, and at the same time wiped his blood-stained face with his hand.
at this time,
The trapped camp led by Li Bao also landed, and the addition of a new wave of fresh troops completely destroyed the Cheng army's last bit of persistence.
From the generals to the soldiers, the rebels began to flee.
Li Bao held a knife with one arm and was about to kill, but he still remembered the business and hurried to the eldest prince's side.
"Your Highness, are you okay?"
The eldest prince shook his head, stretched out his hand to support Li Bao's shoulders, and said:
"Keep moving forward and capture Jade City!"
The defense line on the shore has been broken. At this time, we must take Yupan City in one go, rather than continue to wait for the follow-up troops to cross the river, because if we do not take Yupan City as a stronghold at this time, the Chu navy may later It will continue south to here and cut off the river here.
With the support of Yupan City, it can respond to the Left Route Army upstream, and the Chu Navy can no longer continue to cut off the river unscrupulously. In fact, the eldest prince even dared to use the Left Route Army as a point to cover the opposite direction. The savage dumplings!
As the prince of the Yan Kingdom, there is still no shortage of this spirit!
"Gather your troops and horses. If you defeat your troops and don't pursue them, follow my commander and take Jade City directly!"
.........
On the small river leading to Yupan City, the flower boat was still floating there. However, as rebel soldiers who fled from the shore continued to appear on both sides of the surrounding roads, Xiaosi finally appeared on the flower boat and began to paddle. , moving closer to Yupan City.
On the flower boat, the eighth prince of Chu had just relieved himself once.
The sword maker sighed and said:
"The Yan people are indeed fierce."
This is something that has to be admitted, and it is something that has not been proven.
However, this time, I saw it with my own eyes.
The eighth prince nodded and said:
"Yes, that's why the fourth brother decided to join forces with the barbarians. Otherwise, if he waits for the Yan people to annex all the three Jin lands and completely dominate the north and look south, if he is condescending, the Yan people will attack the Qian country if they want. If you want to attack Chu, attack Chu;
With the sharpness of the Yan people's iron cavalry and the supplement of the knights of the Three Jin Dynasties, I, Dachu, can only parry but not fight back. "
"I understand the truth, but after this time, the friendship between Yu Huaping and me has completely come to an end, alas."
Everyone knows it,
The sword master of the Jin Kingdom and the sword maker of the Chu Kingdom were close friends.
A sword maker from Chu State made a Long Yuan for the Sword Master.
The sword master even praised the sword maker and elevated the sword maker to the throne of the four great swordsmen.
"It's also strange. Daxia has been dead for 800 years. What is the brain of his sword master? He actually thinks that he is a remnant of Daxia and not a Jin."
"If you hold a sword in this life, you must have something to hold on to. I think that if given the choice, His Highness the Fourth would not want to join forces with the savages."
"The savages are nothing, they are nothing more than a group of wild dogs. Wait until this wave gets the Yan people stuck in Wangjiang River, and it will buy me, Dachu, and my fourth brother some time. In the future, this country will eventually belong to me." Chu."
"That savage king is not an ordinary person. If possible, I really want to kill him while he is still on the boat.
If the Yan people are tigers, then the savages may become wolves in the future. Your Highness must not be careless. "
"I understand the truth. After this battle, I will definitely tell Fourth Brother about this Savage King."
"I can rest assured that."
said,
The swordmaker shouted to the men rocking the oar:
"Hurry up, don't you see the Yan people are chasing after you!"
"Master, you seem to be very scared?" His Highness the Eighth Prince asked curiously: "Is it possible that Master really doesn't know martial arts as the legend says?"
"A sword in its scabbard is the most terrifying sword in the world."
"don't know."
"Because you can bluff people."
"Oh, I kind of understand."
"It doesn't really matter whether you understand it or not now."
"Ok?"
"Because if Qu Tiannan doesn't come out, we will be captured alive by the Yan people."
.........
Thousands of Yan troops, led by the eldest prince and Li Bao, directly chased the defeated soldiers and rushed towards Yupan City.
If this wave continues, seizing the city is almost a sure thing!
These Yan troops were exhausted, but their will was still firm. They were fighting in a hurry across the river and couldn't wait for the horses to transport them, so they were basically infantry at this time. What they wanted was to win the city in one wave!
however,
Just when I saw the walls of Yupan City,
The gate of Yupan City suddenly opened, and from inside the gate, a group of soldiers in blue armor began to walk out in neat lines, as if in an endless stream.
Sword and axe soldiers, spear soldiers, crossbowmen, and heavy armored soldiers formed one row after another. After leaving the city, they formed their own military formations.
Their flag is cyan with a phoenix embroidered on it. The color of the armor and the flag indicate their identity. They are the Qingluan Army of the Great Chu, elite infantry warriors controlled by the Qu family of the Chu State.
At this time,
A middle-aged general riding a white horse with a blue bird standing on his shoulders slowly came out of the city gate:
"Qu Tiannan, the great Chu, has been waiting here for the eldest prince of Yan for a long time!"
