Chapter 62: The Resistance Battle

"The whole army marched out, and the generals set out separately for their destinations,

Be sure to arrive at the agreed place this afternoon,

Those who fail to complete the fighter will be severely punished. "The herald ran back and forth on Li Jiajun's side three times,

"Sir, what does this great prince mean? The other troops were notified of the incident, and I, the Dragon and Tiger Army, were shouted several times. Lu Xian said angrily.

"This is to put me Li Yi in the Zhang Shangshu faction,

A thorn in the eye? It's better not to stumble on me, or I won't mind playing with you princes in advance. Li Yi looked at the carriage of the eldest prince and spat at the mouthful.

The order was given, and the army quickly formed a group, and four columns advanced.

Each captain led his own troops, with the cavalry in front and the baggage behind, and set out. Li Yi commanded.

"The cavalry team is leaving!"

"Heavy crossbow team, let's show the infantry brothers, we will double the weight and still not fall behind, let's go!"

"Crossbow team, we are not only mages, we can also be assassins, let's go!"

"Roar! Infantry brigade, let the other brothers see that we are running no slower than the cavalry, let's go! ”

The people who were in charge of escorting the grain and grass in the back,

Suddenly blinded, the team of sheep that had been walking and stopping before suddenly turned into wolves, everyone was in the same step, no one spoke,

Quiet and fast rush.

It was originally a 6-hour journey,

It took only two hours for Li Jiajun to reach the south bank of the Wei River.

The whole army rested, sorted out the baggage, and inspected the equipment.

"Send scouts along the upper and lower reaches of the Wei River to check for a large number of ships,

The whole army dug a trench 1 meter wide for me on the south bank of the Wei River.

The earth dug up for me as a bunker,

Let the people also help dig, and then let them go back to Wei after digging. ”

"Yes, General!"

Li Yi got out of the military tent and rode on his horse to look at the turbulent Wei River in front of him, and the entire army began to dig trenches.

"Report, General, a large number of boats have been found in the upper reaches of the Wei River."

"Report, General, on the opposite bank, it was found that the enemy army was still 10 miles away from the north bank, and the number is unknown."

"Report, General, a large number of cavalry have been found on the other side, and the number of people is 10,000."

……

Afraid of what to come, bumped into,

The two parties arrived at the Wei River at the same time,

"Let the army move quickly, dig the trenches before the enemy crosses the river, and the troops enter the battle positions."

"Dong Jian, I'll give you 100 people, go and destroy as many enemy ships as possible for me, this is gasoline, ignite it."

"Yes, sir, if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent."

Dong Jian led people away, and Li Yi finally put the gasoline that appeared before in handy.

……

meanwhile

"Report, General Cheng, a large number of Wei troops have been found on the other side of the Wei River, and the number of people is about 20,000."

"How long is our army from the north bank of the Wei River?"

"About 10 miles, 1 hour to reach the north bank of the Wei River."

"Okay, how's the boat going to cross the river?"

"Return, general, there are 2,000 boats, and the whole army can cross the Wei River in half an hour."

"Who is leading the enemy army on the other side?"

"Earl of Wei, Li Yi of the Dragon and Tiger Army."

……

meanwhile

A group of men carried strips of cloth and oil and wood,

Looking at the dense boats on the other side of the river,

"Hurry up making a raft?"

"Yes, Captain Dong."

"All men get on the rafts, and the oil is ready,

However, if you encounter resistance, you can jump into the river and set off. ”

More than 20 rafts with 100 people headed towards the opposite boat,

……

"Report, General, a small group of Wei troops have been spotted on the other side approaching our ships."

"Stop them with arrows."

……

"It's not good, Captain Dong, we were discovered by Zhao Jun."

"Speed up and dodge the arrows."

"Shoot the arrows!" Dong Jian shouted.

……

At the same time, Zhao Jun on the opposite side also began to release arrows,

In this way, the two sides fired at each other on the ship.

Soon some of Zhao's ships began to burn,

"Quickly put out the fire, continue to release arrows for me to annihilate all the Wei army."

……

"Captain Dong, my arrows are gone."

"Mine is gone!"

"Brothers, we only have to burn some more enemy ships,

The enemy will cross the river more slowly, and the lord will be safer.

We fought with them, all of them, poured oil on our rafts, lit a fire and jumped into the river, and then swam back, and we will be brothers in the next life when we die, kill! ”

More than 60 people, driving the burning raft, rushed to the rain of arrows of the Zhao army.

"Closer, closer, jump into the river." Dong Jian commanded,

More than 10 people jumped into the river.

……

"Quickly put out the fire and separate the ships."

Zhao Jun was busy, and the fire was finally extinguished.

But also lost more than 700 ships,

"This group of Wei soldiers is really not afraid of death."

……

"Report, general, Captain Dong led people to fight fiercely with the enemy on the water, and no one survived so far." Li Yi didn't stand firm, and supported Yang Zhen on the side.

"Go find it for me, bring it all back to me if it's alive." Li Yi roared.

Li Yi knew that he could not be sad at this moment, because there were still an unknown number of enemy troops to face opposite the 20,000 people.

……

"Report, the eldest prince, General Li's troops met with Zhao's army at the Wei River in advance, and the two sides engaged in a skirmish, and the squad sent by General Li was wiped out." The herald said.

"Waste, whoever gave him the order to start the war in advance, the sneak attack was completely annihilated, and he also won the first place in the army competition, I think it's just like that." The eldest prince rebuked angrily.

At this time, the Great Prince's troops had just arrived at their destination,

"Your Highness, whether to let General Deng and General Zhou launch a siege battle in advance, obviously the Zhao army is also prepared, in case General Li can't support it, our 100,000 army will be in a dilemma." General Zheng Gong admonished.

"Herald, let the two generals immediately attack the city,

Strive to take the city within a day. The eldest prince commanded.

"Yes!"

"Report, Your Highness, according to the scouts,

Zhao's reinforcement army of 120,000 men gathered on the north bank of the Wei River. ”

"What, 120,000 people? Isn't it 20,000 reinforcements? The eldest prince sat on the chair, his hands and feet trembling.

"Your Highness, the minister asks to lead troops to support General Li,

General Li's 20,000 men face 120,000 people, and he will definitely die, Your Highness. General Zheng Gong knelt down on one knee and begged for his life.

"No, General Zheng can't be reinforced. In the event of an enemy attack, you must protect Your Highness. "The eldest prince directly rejected Zheng Gong's order to ask for battle, in fact, what the eldest prince wanted in his heart was to retreat directly.

But when I thought that I finally won this good opportunity to make meritorious service with my father, I was scared away before the fight started.

In the future, there will be no hope for that position.

"Give another order, let General Deng and General Zhou attack the city with their whole army."

"Yes, Your Highness."

……

meanwhile

"What? 120,000 reinforcements on the opposite side? I'm going to fuck 20,000 people, how to fight? Forcing us to block the road with our lives? Li Yi kicked the table in front of him to the ground.

"Herald, go and ask His Highness for help."

"Yes, General!"

Li Yi looked at the generals in the military tent,

"Brothers, there are 120,000 people on the other side, and we only have 20,000 people, hold it for 3 days, I won't say anything superfluous, go and prepare! Leave it for a while. Li Yi commanded.

"Xiaoli, if the final battle situation is unfavorable, I will give you some people to leave, Uncle Zhang can't fold here as a single seedling." Li Yi said to Zhang Xiaoli seriously.

"Brother Li, what do you think of me Zhang Xiaoli? Deserters? The eldest husband died on the battlefield and died well. ”

Zhang Xiaoli replied loudly.

Li Yi looked at Zhang Xiaoli and didn't speak, so he let Zhang Xiaoli out.

"Gao Ren, you come in."

"Sir, your name is me?"

"Gao Ren, you are responsible for taking Zhang Xiaoli away, if something happens to me, you let General Zhang take care of the Li Mansion." Li Yi said to Gao Ren seriously.

"Sir, I'm not leaving!"

"It's an order!"

……

At the same time, Zhao's army reached the other side of the Wei River,

The two armies confronted each other across the river,

The two sides seem to be like neighbors who don't bother each other,

Li Jiajun continued to dig trenches,

The Zhao army on the opposite side was reorganizing the army.

Li Yi saw through the sniper scope that the military flag on the opposite side had the word Cheng written on it, General Cheng Chi, the undefeated general of Zhao State.

Li Yi's purpose is to defend,

If the enemy army on the opposite side does not attack, Li Yi will be able to hold for a while longer.

"Report, General, Your Highness said that it is impossible to send troops to support us at this time." When Li Yi heard it, he was very calm,

But the people around saw Li Yi's face gloomy and terrifying.

"Report, General, Captain Dong Jian is back."

"Where?" Li Yi quickly rushed out of the military tent and saw a man kneeling on the ground with a dark face.

"Sir, more than 90 brothers are gone." Dong Jian knelt on the ground and said painfully.

"Brother, it's hard work, it's good to come back, it's good to be back."

Li Yi helped Dong Jian, who was covered in water.

"Dong Kang, take your brother to rest."

"Yes, sir."

"Arrange for someone to be responsible for the night vigil to prevent the enemy from crossing the river at night."

"Yes, General!"

A quiet night was spent in a tense atmosphere.

Li Yi knew that today's army would face a frantic attack by an enemy army several times his size.

"What."

……

At the same time, under the city of Jicheng,

Yesterday, General Dunkin's whole army attacked and sieged the city,

As a result, he suffered heavy losses and was suppressed by the Zhao army under the city.

His Highness ordered that before Li Yi's army was broken by the enemy,

Be sure to take Jicheng and enter the city to defend.

At the same time, General Liancheng Zhou Zhen also encountered obstacles,

I heard that when Li Yi faced 120,000 reinforcements,

is also planning to desperately attack the city today,

Because everyone thought that Li Yi couldn't resist half a day.

……

At the same time, in the military tent of the Zhao army on the other side of the Wei River,

"Ladies and gentlemen, today we must cross the Wei River,

Tomorrow, the army will appear in Liancheng and join forces with the army in the city to annihilate the Wei army under Liancheng. ”

"Yes, General."

……

Day 1 of Blocking Reinforcements:

"Report, General Li, the Zhao army on the other side of the river is starting to prepare to cross the river." Li Yi listened to the herald speak.

"The ox went up, and gave me all the heavy crossbows.

The arrows were all coated with oil. ”

"Yes, sir." The ox went up and took the order to prepare.

"Qin Da, keep your crossbowmen as the second echelon,

As soon as the enemy is in range, give me a rain of arrows to cover the entire river. Li Yi then gave a second order.

"Have all the people in charge of transporting grain and grass retreated?"

"General Hui, I have all retreated from the rear early this morning."

"How is the siege of Jicheng and Liancheng progressing?" Li Yi then asked,

"Return, General. According to the herald soldiers, the two generals did not go well in the siege and were stopped under the city. ”

Li Yi didn't listen to the soldier's report again,

Instead, he took out the sniper scope and looked at Zhao Jun opposite,

They have already begun to board the ship one after another.

Densely packed with people, as if dumplings,

This first battle must have scared Zhao Jun,

So that Zhao Jun did not dare to cross the river easily.

Buy yourself time, otherwise you may not be able to stop it for half a day.

"Heavy crossbow team, bow and crossbow ready, fire oil!"

"Ready!"

"Shoot the arrows!"

With a whistle of the ox going up,

A blockade battle that has been recorded in history has officially begun!
