Chapter 458: Running to Liyang Again
When the Yuan army launched the offensive, Yuan Shao led the generals to press the formation behind, specially placed a pair of soldiers in front of the formation, and those who dared to retreat immediately killed them, today he was determined to break Liu Yi's defense, at first he saw that his subordinates rushed up effortlessly, and Liu Yijun did not have any movement, although he felt strange, but there was still some joy in his heart, presumably the other party suffered a huge loss, and then retreated. In order to be afraid that Liu Yi would have a backhand, Yuan Shao also specially ordered the rear army to kill and think that he would respond, but who knew that soon after the front army entered the opponent's position, a raging fire ignited, and the fire soared into the sky for a while, although he didn't know what happened there, but Yuan Shao's heart sank.
At the moment, he hurriedly sent someone to investigate, at this time, there were already soldiers in the rear army who ran back, Yuan Shao hurriedly ordered the law enforcement soldiers to dodge the road and let him in, the person arrived close with a panicked look, at this time, seeing his expression, all the generals of the Yuan army knew that there would definitely be no good news.
"Lord, that Liu Yi's soldiers retreated two miles, the original position was covered with firewood and grass, poured with fire oil, our army did not check and rushed to kill the past, but I don't know what equipment Liu Yi used to throw the wine cans over, the wine cans touched the ground and burned, there was a sea of fire in front, our soldiers had no way to retreat, many of them lost their lives in the sea of fire, and the rest of the soldiers were still fighting hard, but they could not protect without help." The soldier's tongue was neat, and he explained the battle situation very clearly, and the palpitations of the heart when he mentioned the soldier's death in the sea of fire were overflowing, and the tragic situation was still in front of him, which was shocking.
"Liu Yi! Piff! Thou hast insulted me too much. Yuan Shao's face was cloudy when he heard this, but then it was surprisingly ruddy, and after a while, he scolded loudly at the place where his fingers were on fire, at this time, blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and his body immediately staggered and fell, seeing thousands of elites buried in the sea of fire, he could only sit and watch, and then remembered the battle of the day and the various disadvantages after the start of the war, and he was angry for a while, only to feel that his throat was salty, and his eyes were black and fainted.
Seeing that the lord fell off the horse, everyone hurriedly stepped forward to help each other, and carried Yuan Shao into the big tent and urgently summoned the army and Chinese medicine to come to the rescue, and Tian Feng also had a look of shame on his face at this time, as a strategist, he failed to perceive the other party's strategy, although he was aware of it, but everything happened too quickly and there was no time to react, now seeing the lord like this, it was even more painful, but he also had to force himself to pick up the mess, at this time the soldiers who were trapped in the sea of fire were already hopeless, so they had to send an order to Mingjin to withdraw the troops, and then make plans after the lord woke up, and now the scene is chaotic, He naturally couldn't see the cold color in Xu You's eyes.
Liu Yi and Xi Zhicai were on the high platform, taking a full view of the battle situation, looking at the soldiers of Yuan in the fire wailing and crying out in pain, the survivors had no power to fight back under the impact of the Beiping battalion and the guard battalion, and they knew that the overall situation had been decided at this time, just clear the enemy army as soon as possible and wait for the fire to be extinguished is a complete victory, this battle should break the enemy around 8,000, the Yuan army can fight the army down to about 50,000, and Liu Yijun's combat power with the addition of the Vermilion Bird Battalion has not decreased but increased, and the Lianshan battlefield can restore the balance of power.
For the soldiers of the other party who died in the sea of fire, Liu Yi did not have the emotion when Mr. Zhuge burned the rattan armor soldiers, the war is like this, there can be no mercy for the enemy soldiers, and after half an hour, the shouting and killing sound below gradually decreased, and the thousands of Jizhou soldiers who were flustered were all killed by the Liu Yijun with high morale, but even at this time, there were few people among them, and at the moment of life and death, these Jizhou elites still showed their due integrity.
The battle between the soldiers of the two sides has ended so far, but the fire on the position is still burning, and it will not gradually extinguish until the bright moon hangs high, at this time the front is filled with a smell of barbecue, which is disgusting, and there are many corpses of Yuan Jun who were burned to charcoal on the position, and the horizontal and vertical are like hell, which is as strong as the soldiers of Youzhou are quite unbearable to look at each other when they converge.
"Hahaha, Zhicai talks and laughs, the strong enemy is wiped out, Liu replaces wine with tea, and salutes the military division with a cup." This time can be regarded as a big victory, Liu Yi ordered the whole army to celebrate, and in the handsome tent, he held a fragrant tea in his hand and said to Xi Zhicai, at this time, he was also regretting why he wanted to ban alcohol? In fact, as long as the wine of this era is well controlled, it is not easy to get drunk, and it was not like this in the previous battles, it may be that this battle of Jizhou is extraordinary, but with his identity, it is unchangeable, otherwise how can he convince the public? Therefore, it is all the more necessary to be cautious in what we say and do.
Thinking that he was tired and half dead from fighting in person during the day, although it improved his morale, but if the results of the battle were not as good as the fire at night, since ancient times, it has always been outwitted over strength, and it is indeed very reasonable to be brave in planning. Liu Yi has never been stingy with the praise of his subordinates, such praise is sometimes more popular than the actual reward, of course, the degree of which must be grasped, for the superior, this is a very deep knowledge.
"Zhicai, as a military advisor, of course, designed the reason for the lord, how can he be praised by the lord because of this, but the lord's words are quite subtle, no wonder Fengxiao often says that the lord also has poetry and books." Xi Zhicai smiled and said, Guo Jia is proficient in all six arts, and he has a lot of exchanges with Liu Yi, and he appreciates some of his words and phrases, of course, Liu Yi only plagiarized the works of later generations by chance.
"Hehe, I understand a little, come and wait for a cup of Qi Jingjunshi." After Liu Yi finished speaking, he poured tea and said to the generals, Xi Zhicai followed Liu Yi only after Zhang Hu, and has been in charge of the law and discipline in the army, all the generals are in awe of him, and now they listen to the words of the lord, they all get up and make peace, today's fire has broken countless enemies, all of which are the merits of the military division.
Everyone drank the fragrant tea, and each sat down to eat, at this time there was a faint eagle roar in the sky outside the tent, Liu Yi heard the color moved, and after a glance at the military division, he flashed out of the tent, after the big war that day, he asked Feiyu to bring the news to the third brother, and now it must have brought Liyang's military intelligence back, of course Xi Zhicai will understand, take the initiative to use tea with the generals, Feiyu can be described as a magic weapon for Liu Yijun, when the log was heard for the first time, it was extremely important, so its existence can only be controlled within the scope of Liu Yijun's core, Messages cannot be disseminated.
Only Liu Liu Liu followed Liu Yi out of the tent, and the two of them quickly arrived at a bush on the right side of the tent, where there was a towering tree more than ten zhang high, Liu Yi quickly climbed to the top of the tree like an ape, and the vigorous figure in the sky also fell from the sky and landed on the canopy.
"Thank you for your hard work, eat more, and rest well at night." Liu Yi took out a piece of wrapped beef from his arms and held it on his right palm for Feiyu to peck, and then took off the white silk silk from Feiyu's feet.
After reading the content on the silk silk, Liu Yi's face was slightly heavy, and after Feiyu finished pecking the beef, he flew down the tree and returned to the barracks, the war is not over, and the evening celebration will not be long, the generals will return to the camp after eating, at this time the fire has been small, and it is necessary to release the Yuan army to attack again, and now no one in Liu Yi's army knows that Yuan Shao vomited blood and fainted.
"I have the same opinion as Feng Xiaowen, that Yuan Shang came to use the army so that there is still a hidden means, this time the original 20,000 elite soldiers will be beyond our expectations, if it is not for Zhicai, this fire alone is afraid that it will be difficult to hold with the strength of our army, here can not hold our army can still retreat, but the battle of Liyang is related to the overall situation, there must not be the slightest mistake, when inform Feng Xiaozilong, try to find out the details of the enemy army, try not to rush to a decisive battle with it." After the camp of the Longxiang battalion was attacked at night, Zhao Yun led the army to the battlefield on the second day, and the two sides confronted each other, and the decisive battle was about to break out, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang and others unanimously felt that the enemy's strength was not just the enemy in person, with this lesson, Liu Yi also agreed with their point of view, if there was a hidden enemy force on the battlefield of Liyang, then the target they were aimed at must be Zhao Yun's iron cavalry battalion. When the generals dispersed, only Liu Yi and Xi Zhicai were left to sit in the tent, and Lang Sheng handed over the silk silk.
"Everyone agrees, and now the lord is like this, I guess it will not be wrong, that is, or the Yuan army's military strength is difficult to hide, but they still have the support of Yanzhou Cao Mengde, maybe into the territory of Jizhou in addition to the Xiahou Yuan cavalry and Yu Ban army in addition to the strength we don't know, although our army has a heavenly ear, but the Yuan army also has a way to hide, the two thousand enemy troops in front of us have not been discovered, the lord is true, here we still have a way to retreat, the battle of Liyang is not allowed to be half a little bit of difference, we must be cautious. By the way, the lord used the flying feather to observe the enemy's approach, which was extremely wonderful, and now even if the enemy is hidden deeply, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the eye of the flying feather, why not use it? After reading it, Xi Zhicai also agreed with everyone's point of view, and also put forward the possibility of Cao Cao's reinforcements, for Tian'er did not thoroughly explore the enemy's situation, he and Liu Yi did not have too many complaints, Tian'er is not omnipotent, and Yuan Jun is now very strict against it, it is very difficult to spy on the military situation, and after speaking, he suddenly remembered that Liu Yi borrowed Feiyu to find out Yuan Shaobo's navy, and couldn't help but rejoice.
"Hey~~ The military advisor doesn't know about this matter, and Fei Yu's exploration of the enemy requires a set of extremely complex techniques and postures, including the mind. Well, except for Liu, I'm afraid others can't use it. Liu Yi sighed when he heard this, Fei Yu's procedure for probing the enemy's situation is extremely complicated, and sometimes it requires subtle induction between them, if he is in Liyang, he can use Fei Yu to investigate the enemy's situation, but Zhao Yun is not able to catch it, but Xi Zhicai's words made him suddenly have an idea.
"Hehe, Zhicai is unknown, depending on the meaning of the lord, do you want to go to Liyang in person?" Xi Zhicai faintly thought of the answer after he spoke, if it was really like this, the lord would not need to remind himself that he would have explained to the three generals a long time ago, seeing that his expression was different after he spoke, and after a little thought, he grasped Liu Yi's thoughts, since the flying feather is available, the lord can go to it in person, here is only two days and nights away from the Liyang fast horse, the lord has dark clouds and snow can be faster, and he can also be stable in Lianshan, so this plan is the best of both worlds.
"Nothing can be hidden from Zhicai, with the current situation, our army's military strength is roughly the same as the Bohai Yuan Army, and there is the Vermilion Bird Battalion to help, I want to come to Zhicai's ability to protect Lianshan worry-free, the Liyang War is a matter of life and death, since the Yuan Army may have a backhand, I can let Feng Xiaowen and temporarily delay the time, and then make calculations after I go to find out the enemy's situation, here is only three or four days away from Liyang, my dark clouds cover the snow god horse is incomparable, and it can also save time, from this point of view, this method is extremely feasible." Liu Yi was not surprised that Xi Zhi could guess his mind, such a thing was not uncommon, at this time he had not learned the news of Yuan Shao, otherwise he would not have so many scruples in his heart.
"Well, this matter is feasible, but the lord has suffered a lot of losses in the daytime battle, and now he is going to Liyang to work hard. This... After pondering for a long time, Xi Zhicai said that this matter is beneficial to the war situation and is indeed feasible, but Liu Yi has not recovered from fatigue at this time, and it is quite a long way to Liyang, and there are safety problems in it, so he is quite hesitant for a while.
"Zhicai doesn't have to worry about Liu, the fatigue during the day has been roughly recovered, as for the road, as long as I am cautious and accompanied by Ziping and Liu Liu, it will be safe, the military situation is like fire, and a quick point is a point, so it is decided." Liu Yi said categorically.
Xi Zhicai no longer objected when he heard this, this move was indeed beneficial to the overall situation, and after the two discussed for a while, Liu Yi took Guan Hai, Liu Liu and other guards out of the camp under the cover of night.
