Chapter 97: Breaking Through
As soon as Fu Fei died, the remaining Qin soldiers had no backbone, and when the main general was dead, these people abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
Seeing this, Li Xin immediately asked Hu Tian to take these prisoners into Xinfeng County and take them under temporary custody. And he himself took some of the remaining people to clear out the remnants of the defeated army and expand the results of the battle.
"General, the traces of the army have been found in the east, I'm afraid that Fu Fa has sent someone over to support Fu Fei!" As soon as he chased to Fu Fei's camp, the people sent by Tu Qi to monitor Fu Fei's camp came back and reported.
"It's a pity they're late. Tell the brothers, withdraw! Hearing this, Li Xin looked into the distance, and could indeed see that there was a fire there. Shaking his head, he said to Tu Qi.
After the group received the order, they immediately took action. There were originally quite a few military supplies in Fu Fei's camp, but Li Xin had specially explained it before, so it was not burned by the fire. At this time, everyone hurriedly moved these things to Xinfeng County. With the joint efforts of everyone, it didn't take long for them to withdraw cleanly.
When the reinforcements sent by Fu Fa arrived at Fu Fei's camp, they saw nothing, and there was quite silence except for a fire.
"Look around and see what's going on!" Seeing this, the general who led the troops hurriedly ordered.
Soon, the scattered men returned.
"General, the big thing is not good, General Fu Fei was killed by the thieves and has died in battle!" A group of soldiers, carrying Fu Fei's corpse at this time, reported.
"What? General Fu Fei died in battle? Where are the thieves? Where is the Great Army? Hearing this, the general almost fell from his horse in shock. After all, he knew Fu Fei's bravery, and there were few people in Fu Qin's army who could defeat him.
"The army was dead and wounded, and the rest surrendered. Those thieves have just returned to Xinfeng County, and now the city is heavily guarded! The creep replied.
"Alas, we're a step too late. It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, withdraw the troops quickly, and this general will report this matter to the king! Let him decide! Seeing that the situation was irreparable, he complained in his heart, so he had to return to the camp to talk about it.
Soon, Fufa's side learned the news.
"God-damned thief, so ferocious! Someone come, quickly report this news to the prime minister and the imperial court! Collect the good life of the general of the left guard and send it back to Chang'an City! After seeing Fu Fei's corpse, Fu Fa couldn't help but be furious.
Then, without saying a word, he directly ordered his troops and horses and killed him towards the water defense line, determined to avenge Fu Fei. However, he killed the past this time, and there was no pressure on Li Erhei, who was defending in the water.
Li Xin returned to Bacheng from Xinfeng County, and the sky was already bright at this time. The army on the other side began to attack again, but they did not know that they had already lost a general the night before.
"The problem in Xinfeng County has been solved for the time being, and now our problem is how to completely wipe out the Fu Qin army." At the head of the city, Li Xin looked at it and said.
"The enemy is overwhelming, we can't fight hard, only by defeating the enemy weakly, each of them can be broken, so that we can slow down the victory!" Liu Xiaohai took the time to come over and participate in this meeting.
"That's what I thought too. The current situation seems that the army led by Fu Xiong himself in the west is the strongest, so it is necessary to stay at the end and concentrate on solving the problem. Among the remaining troops, there are 3,000 men and horses of Fu Liu on the north bank of Weishui, but Weishui is also a barrier for us, and it is not easy to attack! In addition, there are 4,000 people from Fufa on the other side of the water, and 4,000 people from Fujian on the opposite side of Fuxi County!! Li Xin nodded and analyzed.
In this way, I had to choose Fu Fa and Fu Jian, the two brothers, if Fu Jian did it, he could act with Zhou Duwei. But also due to the existence of Weishui, at the same time, if we want to go to Fu Jian, it will inevitably alarm Fu Liu and Fu Fa, and if they attack from behind, it will definitely be unfavorable. In this way, there is only one person left! Liao Chuan thought for a moment and said.
"Fufa has an army of 4,000, if we send 1,000 troops on our side, plus Li Duwei on the other side of the water to kill in time, it will definitely be a two-sided attack. In this way, Fu Fa is afraid that it will not be able to resist. For us, the odds are stacked! Huyan poison was also on the agenda, said at this time.
"I intend to fight Fufa, but if we send troops to attack Fufa, we will inevitably have to mobilize some troops from the overlord. In this case, the pressure on those of you who stay here will be huge! At the same time, there must be some people guarding the bank of the Weishui River in the northeast of Xinfeng County to prevent Fu Liu Fujian and others from crossing the river to rescue! Li Xin said slowly.
"That's a real problem. If there are fewer troops, I am afraid that it will not be a threat to the Fufa army, and if there are more troops, it will endanger the defense of the overlord. Especially on the shore of Bashui, not a single one of the 4,000 troops can be moved, otherwise, it will be too dangerous! Liu Xiaohai nodded.
"If someone guards the northeast of Xinfeng County, then the garrison of Xinfeng County can be relatively reduced, after all, the enemy must come from that place. Now that Hu Tian is guarding there, can he lead the army out to the edge of Weishui and garrison along the line. Then select a part of the people from the city to line up in Xinfeng County, pretending to be a defender to hide the enemy's eyes and ears! After thinking for a while, Liao Chuan proposed.
"In this way, our war against Fufa must end as soon as possible. There are only two battalions of soldiers and horses on the Erhei side, and the defense is already a little tight, and it is the same on our side. However, it is impossible to say that the war is nine out of ten, and sometimes you have to take a risk! I decided to mobilize a thousand soldiers and horses from the defense line north of Bacheng, and when the time is right, I will quickly attack and kill the camp of Benfufa. Tu Qi, you have a way to get in touch with Erhei, and make an appointment to attack the enemy on both sides when the time comes! Li Xin thought about it for a while, and although he felt that there was no perfect way, he still made up his mind.
"Yes, the subordinates will find a way to arrange it immediately!" Tu Qi responded.
Just when Li Xin and them were deliberating, Fu Xiong at this time had already learned the news of Fu Fei's death. It took only one day to start the war, and a general was lost, and under this situation, it was indeed a blow to the Fu Qin court.
"The Huashan Army has become a general trend, and it is not more than an ordinary thief! Come on, send Fu Fei back to Chang'an City, and ask Your Majesty to give him a good burial! "It's really a disadvantage to be a teacher, and it's no wonder that Fu Xiong's mood can get better.
"Prime Minister, now that 2,000 soldiers and horses have been lost, and the hearts of the army below are fluctuating, should we think of a way!" There were quite a few generals present, and one of them asked.
"Yes! Since the battle with the Huashan Army, the imperial army can be said to have been defeated all the way, if you don't win a battle, I'm afraid that the army's morale will be completely dissipated! Now the soldiers below are afraid of the Huashan army, and if they fight with it in the future, they are afraid that they will be defeated before they fight! Some generals said worriedly.
"The matter has come to this, all we can do is to break through the defense on the other side as soon as possible and enter the overlord. As long as this battle is won, the fear of the soldiers will be naturally eliminated! However, there can be no further delay, the order will go down, and the whole army will go on to attack the Huashan army day and night, and it will definitely cross the river! "Fu Xiong has led the army for many years, how can he not understand this truth, at this time, this is the most direct way.
The generals received the order and immediately went down to make arrangements. As a result, the battle on the banks of the entire Bashui River suddenly became much more intense, and the Fu Qin army was already attacking at any cost. In the middle of the water, a lot of pontoon bridges and boats were erected, and from the shore of Weishui in the north, they were lined up to the former Huanwen garrison's Bashang, all of which were attacking fiercely.
As a result, Liu Xiaohai and several other lieutenants, who were in charge of guarding the shores of Bashui, immediately increased the pressure. Undressed, he patrolled the river bank day and night, beware of his side suddenly being unable to stop it and being beaten by the enemy. And Li Xin also personally went to the front line to participate in the battle, and in general, thanks to the blessing of Ba Shui, although the enemy's offensive was fierce, he was never able to attack.
"It seems that Fu Fei's death angered the Fu Qin court. Without further ado, we need to act as soon as possible. In the interval between killing the enemy, Li Xin said to Liu Xiaohai and other generals.
"That's it! General, go ahead! Even if we die on the edge of Bashui, we will never let the Fu Qin army cross Bashui for a single step! Liu Xiaohai and several other lieutenants said solemnly.
"Then I'm sorry for you!" Li Xin knew how difficult it was, especially if the other side learned that his side was fighting with the Fufa army, he was afraid that the attack would be even more violent. I am afraid that I have never experienced the pressure I faced at that time.
However, Li Xin did not act in the first two days. After all, after a night attack just now, the Fufa army should be on guard. It was not until late evening after the third day that he began to gather his men. There is no way, if you don't have an advantage in numbers, you can only use the time of day.
"General, it's only been three days since the last incident, the Fufa army shouldn't let down their vigilance so quickly, right?" Before leaving, Hu Tian said with some doubts.
"I can't answer this question for me, I can only say that in the past three days, the attack of the Fu Xiong army on the west bank of Bashui has become more and more fierce day by day. Fu Fa's side should know about this, so he will feel that we don't have the strength to attack them. Moreover, there is no way for us to do this, and if we don't solve part of the enemy's strength, the pressure we face will only increase. What's more, when have our brothers of the Huashan Army ever been timid, even if they face it head-on, why are we afraid of him! Therefore, it is best to be able to attack at night, if you can't attack at night, we will also kill it! Li Xin knew his worries, looked at him for a while, and then said.
