Suizhou is close to the sea of South Korea, not far from the sea, the mother river of Fujiang, when it flows through Suizhou, it is almost to the estuary, so this section of the Fujiang River, the water area is much faster, and the water flow is much more turbulent than the upstream.

The city of Suizhou is not far from the opposite side of the river, and the team must cross this river if they want to reinforce Suizhou. There was a forest on the other side of the river, which was suitable for hiding the army, and Li Yue was also worried that there were ambushes in the woods, so he contacted some relatives on the other side of the river in advance and asked them to answer on the opposite side.

At this time, Li Yue asked one of his personal soldiers to pick up the black and white flags and wave them a few times towards the opposite side as agreed before. Immediately afterwards, someone on the opposite side came out of the woods, also holding a small flag, and waved a few times in the direction of Li Yue's team.

Seeing the small flag waving across the river, Li Yue was very happy, because there was no Korean ambush on the other side of the meaning. So Li Yue waved his hand and commanded hundreds of large and small boats that had been prepared to march towards the other side of the river.

But what Li Yue didn't know was that his relatives who were lying in ambush in the woods across the river had already been discovered by South Korean soldiers and all of them were caught.

Under the whips and threats of the Korean generals, these people quickly explained their mission, and honestly followed the orders of the Koreans, like Li Yue, to send a message of all peace.

The speed of the fleet was very fast, and in the blink of an eye the ships had reached the center of the river, and hundreds of ships of different sizes continued to sail towards the opposite shore in an extremely spectacular manner.

Huaihua general Li Yue stood at the bow of the boat, and his nephew Wang Yang Xian stood beside him, sighing at the magnificence of the river together, and looking forward to successfully reaching Suizhou, killing the Korean army to cry wolf, and then singing a triumphant song to return to Beijing to receive the reward.

At this time, there was a sudden sound on the other side of the river, and then a dense group of South Korean soldiers appeared on the other side of the river.

The Korean soldiers were clearly prepared, and as soon as they came out, they drew their bows and arrows and shot directly at the ships in the center of the river, which was very windy, so the crosshairs of the bows and arrows were very poor, and less than half of the arrows that successfully hit the ships were successful.

But even so, there were many Dafu soldiers who were caught off guard by arrows, and those who were lucky fell on the boat, and those who were unlucky fell directly into the river.

The soldiers and generals sitting on the big ship hurriedly hid in the cabin, using the wooden planks of the cabin to avoid the long arrows that came from them, while the soldiers on the small boat had nothing to cover, so they had to lie on the boat and try not to let the long arrows hit.

The long arrows that came in the first round were good, and those that did not hit the target either fell into the river or were shot on the deck of the ship. Aside from the first few unsuspecting wounded and dead soldiers, the bows and arrows fired in the last few rounds did much less damage.

"Hurry up and rush forward, as soon as we get to the shore, we can kill them and lose their armor." Seeing that his soldiers suffered a lot fewer casualties, Li Yue became happy and hurriedly asked his heralds to wave their flags.

All the ships on board received Li Yue's order and immediately went into action, and they divided the people into two parts. Some of them held shields to block the arrows they fired, while others rowed forward desperately, and with the concerted efforts of all the soldiers, the ships were speeding towards the other side of the river like arrows from the string.

Li Yue's idea was very good, but how could the Koreans be willing to let the Dafu soldiers land so smoothly, in that case, the terrain advantage they formed by the special ambush here would be lost.

In response to this situation, the South Korean soldiers on the opposite side were obviously prepared, and the commander immediately issued an order, and a second wave of arrows rained down on the boats in the river.

The arrows that came this time were completely different from the previous ones, because they were all wrapped in strips of cloth, dipped in tung oil, and lit up rockets that were blazing.

As soon as these rockets hit the boats on the river, they ignited a raging fire, and the soldiers on board were in a panic and hurriedly went to extinguish the fire on the ship.

The smaller ships were on fire, and the soldiers tried their best to finally extinguish the fire, but there were some ships, which were particularly fast, and were at the forefront of the fleet, and there were a lot of rockets in them, and the fire soon burned brightly, and it seemed that it was too late to extinguish it, and the soldiers on board could not bear the scorching heat of the fire, and simply jumped into the river.

Just as the soldiers of Dafu were busy fighting the fire, many ships suddenly appeared in the grass on the opposite side, and they rushed towards Dafu's fleet.

By the time the Dafu soldiers on these ships extinguished the flames on the ships and came back to their senses, the opposing ships were not far from them.

Soon, the ships of both sides met on the river, and the soldiers, each with a long knife and spear, stood by their own boats, and fought with the other soldiers.

Fighting on a ship is obviously different from fighting on land, you have to try to kill your opponent, and you have to control your body on the shaky plank.

Most of the soldiers lived inland, and most of the water they saw was small rivers and lakes, and they were simply amateurs when it came to water warfare.

But these South Korean soldiers are different, they are a seaside country, and most of their borders are at sea. Before joining the army, many of these soldiers were fishermen and were familiar with sailing and warfare at sea.

Therefore, as soon as the soldiers of the two sides came into contact, there was a one-sided situation, and many Dafu soldiers could not even stand on the boat, and of course it was very difficult to fight. Although these Dafu soldiers are very brave, they still can't stop it, and the decline is becoming more and more obvious.

Many Dafu soldiers had a body of martial arts, and before they could control their bodies, they became the ghosts of Korean soldiers. Under such unfavorable circumstances, the battle lasted less than half an hour, and the Dafu soldiers lost about 20 percent, and most of the corpses of the Dafu soldiers and dead soldiers who were struggling in the river were on the river, and the river was quickly stained red with blood.

The Dafu soldiers who fell into the water, except for a few who had good water quality, were able to climb some boats, and most of them were quickly washed away by the river and lost the possibility of survival.

"Protect Your Highness, retreat, retreat, retreat!" So many soldiers died at once, but Li Yue was frightened, he hurriedly beckoned his soldiers and desperately retreated to the rear.

But at this time, if they want to evacuate, how easy is it! The Korean soldiers, who were good at rowing, clung to the back of the Dafu fleet and desperately attacked them.

After another half an hour or so, Li Yue and his Dafu soldiers not only did not withdraw, but were also surrounded by South Korean soldiers.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers left in the victory, and the battle situation had basically become a one-sided situation, Li Yue's face had changed with fright, and he had no other way, just kept shouting: "Resist, resist, resist me." ”

If the situation continues to develop like this, it is a matter of time before the entire army of Dafu soldiers is wiped out, and Yang Xian, the scheming Xiangwang on weekdays, has no other way at this time, just staring blankly at the red-dyed river, and regretting that he came to the front line of the sports car.

At this time, there was a sudden shout of killing on the other side of the river, and a South Korean soldier suddenly appeared on the riverbank, desperately waving the flag in his hand towards the river. The slogan of this flag is the withdrawal of troops, and the Korean commanders in the middle of the river, seeing this banner, obviously knew that there was an accident on the riverbank, and they immediately urged the boats to quickly withdraw in the direction they came.

The opponent's fleet suddenly withdrew, and the formation was immediately chaotic, and at this time, if the Dafu soldiers pursued, they would definitely be able to eliminate some of the Korean soldiers who were dragging behind.

But at this time, Li Yue, where can he take care of these?

Li Yue, who had already been frightened, was of course ecstatic when he saw the Korean soldiers suddenly retreating. He stood on the deck of the big ship, looked up at the other side of the river, and saw that there were many soldiers wearing Dafu military uniforms on the other side of the river, and his legs, which were already weak, finally gained strength, and his earth-colored face was so frightened that his earth-colored face also regained a trace of blood.

"Great, reinforcements, great, reinforcements." Li Yue lay on the bow of the boat, staring at the battle on the opposite side, and muttered in his mouth, he hadn't recovered from the joy of escaping death for a long time. There were even some water stains between his legs, I don't know if it was the river water that splashed into the boat, or some other liquid?

"General, our reinforcements are a little small, and we have suffered a little from fighting them, should we go over and reinforce them?" An officer said beside Li Yue, who turned his head to see that it was his lieutenant who spoke.

"Yes, we should go over for reinforcements, you can take command!" At this time, Li Yue reacted, but at this time, his mood had not calmed down, and he simply handed over the command to his lieutenant.

After receiving Li Yue's order, the adjutant general immediately commanded his soldiers and rowed to the other side of the river.

This time, because the soldiers on both sides of the river were in the middle of a big battle, and no one was blocking their advance, the remaining Dafu soldiers quickly and smoothly reached the river bank.

When they arrived at the riverbank, the Dafu soldiers immediately came to their senses, and they quickly converged with the reinforcements, and by virtue of their numerical superiority, they finally repelled these Korean soldiers.

"Meet His Royal Highness the Prime Minister, and meet General Huaihua." After completely repelling the Han soldiers, a general who was a little older and had gray hair came to Li Yue and Yang Xian.

This general was none other than Wang Qi, the assassin of Suizhou, who was originally defending the city of Suizhou, but when they saw that there were fewer and fewer Korean soldiers surrounding the city, they immediately felt very strange.

Wang Qi still has a lot of combat experience, after seeing this unexpected scene, he knew that something must have happened, so he asked one of his fierce generals to fight desperately out of the encirclement, and followed the traces left by the evacuated Korean soldiers to the bank of the Fujiang River.

When the general saw that these Korean soldiers were actually trying to ambush reinforcements here, he immediately passed the news back to Suizhou City as quickly as possible.

Wang Qi, who got the news, was shocked, he was already very hard to defend in Suizhou City, and the reinforcements brought by Li Yue were their last hope, if these reinforcements were defeated by the Han soldiers, it would be a matter of time before Suizhou City was broken, and he and his soldiers defending the city would not escape the fate of the entire army.

After thinking about this joint, Wang Qi quickly made a decision, he quickly ordered all the soldiers in the city, quickly broke through the encirclement of the Han soldiers, rushed to the bank of the river as quickly as possible, and finally rescued the Dafu soldiers who had been surrounded by regiments.

"General Wang Qi, you came too timely, otherwise our army will suffer heavy losses. This time you have made a great contribution, and I will definitely ask the court for a reward when I go back. "Prime Minister Yang Xian has regained his usual demeanor at this time, and of course he will not let go of the opportunity to win over this Suizhou assassin who holds real power.

"Yes! Without General Wang Qi coming to reinforce, our army will definitely suffer heavy losses, now we will return to Suizhou City for the time being, and after we have been put in order, we will ask these Koreans for this blood feud. Li Yue also said on the side.

"Report to the general, it is estimated that there is no way back to Suizhou City now, there are not many soldiers guarding the city, this time in order to rescue His Royal Highness the Prime Minister and the general, we have brought out all the soldiers, and now the city may have been taken by the Korean army." Wang Qi said with some frustration.

Hearing Wang Qi's words, Yang Xian and Li Yue fell into silence, this Suizhou City was occupied by the other party, and wanting to recapture it in a short time was tantamount to ascending to the sky, but in addition to this Suizhou City, they had no place on the south bank of Xuzhou.

But Yang Xian and Li Yue had no way to blame Wang Qi, because such an unfavorable situation was obviously caused by the command mistakes of the two of them.

At this time, Yang Xian and Li Yue had no other way, so they had to follow Wang Qi's suggestion to withdraw the team to the north bank of the Fujiang River, and with the help of the Fujiang River, they stopped the Han soldiers from continuing to invade.

After returning to the north bank of the Fujiang River, Li Yue asked people to count the number of people, and the news he got made him very depressed, the battle on the river, actually lost more than 60,000 soldiers and horses, and now his soldiers, plus the original Suizhou defenders brought by Wang Qi, are only 50,000 or 60,000.

Not only that, due to his command error, Wang Qi had to abandon the city of Suizhou, resulting in most of Suizhou's area on the south bank of the Fujiang River falling into the hands of the Koreans.

This kind of battle situation made Li Yue very frustrated, and he had to let his soldiers desperately defend the river bank, and on the other hand, quickly transmit the battle situation here back to Xijing City.

Li Yue didn't want Emperor Fu to know the news of his failure to lead the troops, but at this moment, he could still distinguish the severity.

At this time, the army was defeated, and the whole army had not been wiped out, nor had all the territory of Suizhou been lost. But if he conceals the military situation, leads to a greater defeat, and even makes the prime minister Yang Xian have a little accident, then even if he has ten heads, it is not enough to cut off.

Therefore, although he was very reluctant, Li Yue still wrote the original battle report of the situation here, sent it back to Xijing, and applied to Emperor Fu to punish himself, and then sent reinforcements again to stabilize the situation here, and waited for the opportunity to regain the lost territory.

The current Li Yue, on the one hand, was frightened by the failure, and on the other hand, he also knew the importance of guarding the riverbank. Therefore, he asked his soldiers to build many protective facilities on the banks of the river, and sent troops to patrol day and night, so as not to give South Korean soldiers a chance to cross the river.

South Korean soldiers are very capable of water warfare, but their land combat capabilities are relatively limited, and they have tried to cross the river several times, but they have never succeeded.

The Korean generals obviously did not find a good way for a while, so after several failed attempts to forcibly cross the river, they had to give up the operation of crossing the river, so that the battle situation in Suizhou temporarily returned to calm.
