Chapter Twenty-Five: Everything is ready, Yue Fei withdraws!
On the banks of the Li River, Jing military camp.
"Report!"
A long shout came, and I saw a flying horse swaying, and it had already ridden in!
"Report to the marshal!"
Yue Fei looked at the panting scout in front of him and said softly, "But there's news from Gongjin's side?" ”
"Back to the marshal, General Zhou sent a message, everything is ready, and now General Li has been sent to lead 4,000 soldiers and horses back to help!"
Yue Fei's eyes were full of joy, and he said softly: "Okay, pass on my order, send out the scout camp, and closely monitor the movements on the other side!" ”
"No!"
Xiao Yunjing personally went down to give the order, Yue Fei looked at the scout, "You go down and rest first!" ”
"Thank you, General!"
Yue Fei's eyes were deep, and he whispered: "The Xiqi army has been frustrated twice, with losses of more than 10,000, and now there are 50,000 iron cavalry, once after crossing the river, our army only has 25,000 people, is it a battle or a retreat?" ”
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a figure rushing in hurriedly and said loudly: "Handsome! ”
"Oh no, Xiqi's army ......"
Seeing Yue Fei's cold face, he was instantly stunned, "Please atone for the general!" ”
Yue Fei's complexion softened a lot, and he said lightly: "After I go back, I will take thirty military sticks by myself!" ”
"No!"
"Go on!"
The scout swallowed a mouthful of spit and continued, "Xiqi's reinforcements have arrived!" ”
"Reinforcements?"
Yue Fei's eyes froze, and his face sank instantly, what he was worried about still happened!
"How many are there?"
"I don't know!"
The scout shook his head slightly: "Judging from the number of new camps, it is conservatively estimated to be more than 50,000!" ”
Yue Fei played with an arrow in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Immediately inform General Zhou of the news, and after Li Changcheng leads the army back to the camp, let him and Xiao Yunjing come to see me, continue to monitor the movements of the Xiqi army, and report it immediately as soon as there is news!" ”
"No!"
……
"Rubbish, a bunch of rubbish!"
On the west bank of the Li River, in the camp of Xiqi, a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears had an angry look on his face: "I was defeated by those two-legged sheep when I crossed the river twice, and I was thrown into the face of my Daqi country!" ”
Tuoba Xiong's face was also gloomy, and he said lightly: "The marshal sent you here, not to let you mock the general, right?" ”
"Humph!"
The middle-aged man said lightly: "It's not just the main force of the handsome man who came this time, the king is driving in person!" ”
"What!"
Tuoba Xiong's face instantly became nervous: "Why did the king move?" ”
"Humph!" Su Le's face showed a hint of anger, "Since our army advanced eastward three years ago, it has been like a bamboo, and now your 60,000 iron horsemen have been stranded in the small Li River for several days!" ”
"This battle of Yasukuni is related to the great cause of my Xiqi, and you have lost more than 10,000 warriors here, how can the king sit still?"
Tuoba Xiong glanced at him faintly and said softly, "So, what's the use of you coming?" Is it possible that you have a way to cross the river? ”
There was a hint of undisguised ridicule on Sule's face, and he said lightly: "Don't think everyone is as stupid as you!" ”
"Qilu!"
"General!"
A burly man walked out, and Su Le said in a solemn voice: "Pass my generals, let the soldiers prepare the ships overnight, and dismantle them from the nearby houses without timber!" ”
"Tomorrow morning, I'm going to see a thousand ships!"
"No!"
Qilu strode away, but Tuoba Xiong was silent, and Su Le sneered: "It's just more than 10,000 Jing troops, and you don't dare to act rashly, waste!" ”
Tuoba Xiong glanced at him coldly and left directly.
……
"Handsome! The Great Wall has arrived! ”
Yue Fei raised his head sharply and said softly, "Quickly let them in!" ”
"No!"
Li Changcheng and Xiao Yunjing walked out together, and after seeing Yue Fei saluting respectfully, they stood in a solemn row and got along for many days, they all knew Yue Fei's temperament!
"Yunjing, you personally go to the riverside and observe the movements of the Xiqi army, especially the number of ships on the river and the amount of cooking smoke in the evening!"
"No!"
"Great Wall, you immediately lead three thousand soldiers and horses to transport our grain and grass to Yuncheng, which is a hundred miles away, and then come back quickly, and cut down all the trees in the surrounding mountains and put them on both sides!"
"No!"
Neither of them asked why, and now they have unconditional trust in Yue Fei!
"Someone!"
After the two left, Yue Fei spoke again, and a guard hurriedly walked in: "Dashuai! ”
"Immediately send Leng Ji to see me!"
"No!"
After the order was given, within a quarter of an hour, Leng Ji strode in!
"See the big handsome!"
Yue Fei showed a rare smile on his face, and said softly: "Leng Ji, Ben Shuai has a task, I don't know if you are willing?" ”
Leng Ji's face was stunned, and he said bluntly: "Although the handsome man commands, the villain must go all out!" ”
"Good!" Yue Fei's face showed a hint of appreciation, and he said softly: "Now that we don't know about Xiqi's movements, I want you to sneak into the other side and find out Xiqi's intelligence, maybe?" ”
Leng Ji groaned slightly, "It's not a big problem!" ”
Yue Fei patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be reluctant, just do your best, the Xiqi camp should not be strictly guarded, they wouldn't think that we would send someone to sneak into the other side, you don't need to enter the camp, just check the approximate number of boats on their riverbank!" ”
"No!"
"Go ahead!"
Watching Leng Ji's figure disappear, Yue Fei sighed lightly: "Success or failure is here, Gongjin, it's all up to you!" ”
……
Early the next morning, the fog on the river was hazy, and Yue Fei stood quietly on the riverside, his face was as usual, and his eyes were shining with a deep glow!
"Dashuai, what if they don't cross the river today?"
Xiao Yunjing's face on the side was full of worry, and Yue Fei said softly: "They will come!" ”
At a glance, the river below, I don't know if Xiqi found that the water level had dropped by nearly half a meter!
"Look, ship!"
"General, they are starting to cross the river!"
Yue Fei bowed his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Send scouts immediately, report to General Zhou quickly, and after half an hour, flood Xiqi, and after releasing the water, immediately lead the army to Yuncheng!" ”
"No!"
The five fast horses set off at the same time, Yue Fei's face showed a relaxed smile, and continued: "Pass my order, the whole army will be pulled out, immediately retreat a hundred miles, and defend Yuncheng!" ”
"Withdrawal?"
Xiao Yunjing and Li Changcheng glanced at each other, full of surprise, or Xiao Yunjing couldn't help but ask: "Dashuai, this is the time to attack half-crossing, why do you want to withdraw the army?" ”
Yue Fei said in a deep voice: "Xiqi now has at least 100,000 troops, collected more than 1,000 search boats, this time the people who crossed the river, at least 30,000 or 40,000 people, as soon as Gongjin releases the water, Xiqi will definitely suffer heavy losses, and it will be difficult for us to get out under the large-scale attack at that time!" ”
"Xiqi can lose troops, but we can't afford to lose, there are only 25,000 soldiers and horses left!"
"Jingren's life is precious!"
