Chapter 567: The War is in Turmoil

Yan Feng's actions can be said to be in the hands of Li Erhei, what he is afraid of is that the enemy army will not move. At this moment, the enemy army is moving at their own pace, which means that the initiative on the battlefield is already in their own hands. It seems that the Tang army is retreating, but in fact this retreat is very orderly, and the entire formation is almost not chaotic. Therefore, when the soldiers of the contemporary army flocked in order to drag themselves down, the sharp counteroffensive of the Tang army was just the right time.

The bow and crossbow are naturally indispensable in the beginning, and when the bow and crossbow lose their effect, melee combat begins.

When the soldiers of the generation army rushed to the front of the battle with a cruel smile, thinking that the next thing would be a massacre, they were terrified to find that they had not entered the land of victory, but came to a place of death.

The military formation was directly opened to them, and many soldiers of the Dai Army were able to gallop straight into the Tang Army formation. Then, as soon as they had entered a section, the whole formation was closed again.

The cavalry of the Dai Army, who broke into the formation, was taken care of at this moment, with hooked sickles hooking and breaking horses' legs, and countless spears stabbing on them. And behind them, it was the Mo Dao Hand who prevented them from breaking through outward, and at the same time blocking the re-entry of the soldiers of the Dai Army outside.

Under the Mo knife, the head is rolling! The soldiers of the Dai Army who rushed all the way couldn't stop at all, as if they had hit their heads against the iron wall, and the attack of the Dai Army could be said to have been completely disintegrated.

And when the proxy soldiers in the formation were eliminated, the military array opened again, and some of the proxy soldiers were put in again. After repeating this two or three times, those soldiers of the acting army could be regarded as having a long memory, and they only dared to attack and harass from afar, and no longer dared to run to the Tang army's array.

But in this way, they could not stop Li Erhei's transfer, and the army began to retreat to the north again. Seeing this, Yan Feng had no better way, so he had to follow behind him from a distance, and kept sending rangers to attack.

There is no doubt that this kind of scene is very strange. After all, the battlefield was supposed to be shouting and killing the heavens, and flesh and blood were flying. Now it looks like the acting army is sending off the Tang army to escort it.

Just when Yan Feng was hanging behind Li Erhei not far away, Shi Yiqian, who had finally escaped from the Tang army and evacuated, had just arrived at the river at this time.

Under the fire, almost all the boats that had been there were gone, and there were still embers of the fire on the river. Pieces of broken wood floated up and down on the water, eventually drifting away with the current.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Shi Yiqian's face turned pale, but he didn't say a word.

"King, you see there are still some small boats over there, so you better get on the boat and cross the river first!" At this moment, someone suddenly said.

Shi Yiqian hurriedly looked towards the water, and sure enough, dozens of small ones floated on the water surface in the distance at this time. The most surprising thing is that the ship is occupied by the soldiers of the Dai Army.

"Hurry up, call them over, see if they're from the other side!" Shi Yiqian hurriedly commanded.

Soon, the boats were summoned. After coming to the front of Shi Yiqian, he hurriedly kowtowed and bowed.

"My lord, the minister just asked, they are all soldiers who came with the army. When the Tang army suddenly arrived before, they happened to be far away, and when they saw that the opportunity was not good, they hurriedly drove the boat to the far side of the river first. But we don't have many boats left, and only these dozens of boats remain! The person sent for questioning said at this time.

"That's it! Something is better than nothing! Let everyone get on the boat immediately, as much as they can pass, and after going ashore, immediately inquire about the situation over there, especially how the battle situation is in Shengle City! Report to me as soon as possible! Shi Yiqian waved his hand, and there was no point in saying anything more at this time.

Under his orders, nearly 20,000 troops began to cross the river in these small boats. However, when the boat is small and slow, it is a drop in the bucket. If it weren't for the fact that there was no way, Shi Yiqian would never have adopted such a method.

"Report, King Qiyu, the Tang army has been killed in the west! It seems that it was the Tang cavalry who burned our boats! Just as Shi Yiqian was looking at the water from afar, the soldiers below ran up to report.

"Send 3,000 soldiers and horses to destroy them at once!" Shi Yiqian thought for a moment and ordered.

At this time, it is still necessary to buy time for yourself to cross the river, and as for the rest, you can put it aside first.

The battle between the two sides in the Tang Dynasty soon returned to the banks of the Yellow River, and the cavalry of both sides began to fight. However, due to the relatively long distance, there is hardly any big impact on Shi Yiqian's side.

"My lord, please get on the boat and cross the river first! The war on the other side of Shengle City still needs the king to be in charge. As for this matter, I'll leave it to us. As long as we are here, we will never let the Tang army kill and stop the king from crossing the river! Perhaps sensing the seriousness of the situation, some of the generals next to him suggested to Shi Yiqian.

"This ...... That's good! You hold on to the river here, and when the king settles the war around Shengle City, he will send an army to support you and receive you across the river! After a deep groan, Shi Yiqian finally agreed.

So, under the watchful eyes of the soldiers, Shi Yiqian first boarded a small boat and headed for the north shore.

However, what Shi Yiqian didn't know was that at the moment when he stepped on the boat, in the north of Shengle City, a hundred miles away, the flying dragon rider led by Li Xin had just stepped out of Daqing Mountain.

"Your Highness, the news I just found out that our army had successfully crossed the Baiqu River a few hours ago, and now General Deng and General Zhang are pursuing the remnants of the Dai Army. General Zhang Hao and they went south with an army of 20,000, and General Deng Qiang led an army of 10,000 to attack Shengle City! "As soon as he walked out of the valley, the scouts sent out in advance rushed back to report.

"Excellent! Looks like everything is going well! By the way, how is the war on General Li Erhei's side? Hearing this, Li Xin was very satisfied, nodded and asked.

"Because the distance is too far, and the situation on the battlefield is too chaotic at this time, the situation in the south cannot be grasped for the time being!"

"Well, in that case, let's march at once! The order went down, and the army immediately set off and went straight to Shengle City! Li Xin thought about it, now that all battlefields have been fought, and under the chaotic situation of war, he seems to be a little demanding.

So, he put aside Li Erhei's affairs first, and prepared to go and take Shengle City first.

Soon, the 5,000-strong army of Wyverns rode towards Shengle City to the south. Along the way, he met many stragglers who were defeated and retreated, and from their mouths, Li Xin also got some information.

In general, the progress on my side is very fast, especially in Shengle City, which seems to have become a lonely city.

Since Daiguo itself belongs to the kind of society that is still in the semi-slave and semi-feudal system, although it is a country, it is also managed by civil and military officials according to the appearance of the Central Plains Dynasty. But in fact, it is still far from a mature Central Plains dynasty.

If nothing else, the issue of urbanization alone makes a big difference.

Originally, the area around Shengle City used to be where the two counties of Yunzhong and Dingxiang were located, and after hundreds of years of development and development, it has really developed well. Otherwise, dozens of counties would not have been established here during the Han Dynasty.

At its peak, there were as many as twenty or thirty counties in Yunzhong and Dingxiang, which were indeed two large counties. But now, there is probably only one Shengle City that can be used in this area.

It is not true to say that these places are desolate because of the war. But the problem is that Shiyiqian has occupied this place for decades, and it is relatively stable and has not experienced major natural and man-made disasters, so it could have developed better.

If this were the case, now that Shengle City was attacked, it would not have become an isolated city so quickly. Because around it, there is not even a city that can be used to echo the complementary. This is naturally extremely unfavorable for a national capital.

Because once attacked, once besieged, it means that they will all be trapped and killed in Shengle City.

Li Xin's speed was very fast, especially when both sides of the Baiqu River were all Tang troops at this time. It only took more than an hour for the group to kill directly under Shengle City and join Deng Qiang's army.

"How's it going?" Li Xin stood outside Shengle City, watching the Tang soldiers attacking the city, and asked Deng Qiang beside him.

"Although this Shengle City is the capital of a country, its scale and solidity cannot be compared with Chang'an Luoyang and other big cities. Although there are still more than 20,000 generations of military guards in the city, most of them are old and weak, as long as the last general is given another day, he should be able to take it! Deng Qiang replied.

"Well, that's good! As long as this place is taken, this battlefield can be said to be half decided. As long as Shi Yiqian is found again and he is also taken down, the war here can basically be over. The rest is the problem of Yan Kingdom! Li Xin nodded, very satisfied with this.

"Shi Yiqian led the army across the river, but after knowing the situation here, he should be able to kill it quickly. If Daiguo is on this side, there are at least sixty or seventy thousand troops left, and if we want to solve the Daiguo War, I'm afraid it will not be an easy task! Deng Qiang thought for a while and said.

"After all, the country has been established for decades, and Shi Yiqian is not a dumb person, if you want to destroy the dynasty in one war, where is it so easy! But after this battle, we have to drive them back to their hometowns. Once the two counties of Dingxiang in the clouds are controlled by us again, the initiative against the Biansaihu tribe will be in our hands in the future! This will be handed over to you, and this king will lead his army south to find Shiyigan! Li Xin knew what he meant, and he didn't care.

"Yes! The last general will definitely take down Shengle City as soon as possible! Hearing this, Deng Qiang immediately responded.
