Chapter 80: The Folding Army is here
When Ye Hua read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he found that from beginning to end, it was inseparable from fire attack, especially Zhuge Liang, who was even more obsessed with this way, burning from Bowangpo to Xinye, burning to Chibi, burning the vulture bones, and almost burning Sima Yi to death in the upper valley...... Half of the prime minister's record was set on fire, and he is simply a habitual arsonist!
Today, Ye Hua truly experienced the wonderful use of fire attack.
The sheepskin raft is made of sun-dried sheepskin, and in order to prevent water, it is also soaked in oil, and over and over again, as long as it gets a little spark, it will immediately burn and become a monstrous fire.
Zhao Kuangyin fired three rounds of crossbow arrows in a row, and almost ten arrows landed around the pontoon bridge, or on the raft, and the hit rate of one-third was not bad.
Zhao Kuangyin was very satisfied, and he quickly evacuated with his men and horses to join Ye Hua.
The fire engulfed the pontoon bridge and spread to both sides, and the people were so frightened that they fled in a hurry, and some people simply fell into the Yellow River, struggling to get their heads, and within a few times, they were swept away by the river and disappeared without a trace.
The fire snake jumped up the pile of baggage on both sides, whether it was food, or bows and crossbows, armor, and weapons, all of them were on fire, and those Northern Han soldiers came to the rescue like crazy.
They took off their helmets, scooped up the river to extinguish the fire, whipped them with weapons, and did everything they could to protect the food. But at this moment, Fu Zhaoxin and Chen Shi led two cavalry to kill, and their number was not much, only 600 people. But the smoke was billowing everywhere, the people were panicked, and the Northern Han army couldn't tell how many opponents there were, and they could only see a piece of torches, and they were so frightened that they threw away their weapons and fled for their lives.
Fu Zhaoxin did not chase after him, but rushed towards the river, and they drove away the soldiers who were fighting the fire, and threw torches into the randomly placed grain and grass piles, so that the fire burned even more vigorously.
The red fire reflects half the sky!
Ye Hua rode on the horse, observing from a distance, very comfortable, if there was a four-wheeled bicycle and a feather fan, it would be Zhuge Kongming!
He didn't have to worry about the battle, and when it was almost dawn, Chen Shi and Fu Zhaoxin returned and reported the results to Ye Hua.
They burned 8,000 stone of grain, burned countless ordnance and armor, killed 1,500 Northern Han soldiers, dispersed more than 5,000 people, and seized tens of thousands of livestock, including 3,000 pack horses.
Liu Chengjun's logistics were completely destroyed, and the pontoon bridge was burned, and the way back was also cut off.
Liu Yanqin's little face was all black and gray, possessed by a little ghost, he bared his white teeth and laughed proudly, "Who dares to say that Lao Tzu eats white rice?" Who dares! Hahaha! β
Even Fu Zhaoxin couldn't hide his joy, "Ye Yuanjun strategized, calculated magically, killed Zhang Yuanhui, burned grain and grass, and became famous in the world in a war, comparable to Guan Zhong Leyi!" β
Ye Hua looked at him and chuckled, "It's the first time you've praised someone, right?" β
"It's notβit's just the first time I've complimented you!" Fu Zhaoxin replied honestly.
Ye Hua snorted, "No wonder it's boundless!" We only won two small victories, and the people of the Northern Han Dynasty are still at the border of Linzhou, so it is not a real victory! β
Chen Shi knew Ye Hua best, and hurriedly asked, "What, Huazi, do you still have ideas?" β
"Hmm!"
Ye Hua nodded, "Liu Chengjun is not easy to deal with, we have to strike while the iron is hot, attack the rear of the Northern Han army, completely defeat them, and drive them out of Linzhou!" β
"Will it work?"
Fu Zhaoxin first expressed his doubts, the two games they won had the factor of luck, and if they had a hard encounter with the Northern Han army, it would be difficult to say. Liu Chengjun has led troops for many years, and there are many people, if the sneak attack fails, it will be bad! With the current record is enough to explain, there is no need to take risks.
He expressed his skepticism, while the others were in high spirits and clamoring for battle.
Ye Hua smiled mysteriously, "Let's attack the Northern Han people, remember that we can't use our own banner, we have to change it to the banner of the Fugu Folding Family!" β
"Fold!"
Hearing this, Fu Zhaoxin suddenly understood Ye Hua's abacus!
He's about to burst into foul language, he's too insidious!
The Zhe family has been entrenched in Fuzhou since the end of the Tang Dynasty, and their strength is strong, even if it is Liu Chong of the Northern Han Dynasty, they must be afraid of three points. This time, the Yang family raised troops, and the Zhe family did not act together, they just sent 500 soldiers to symbolically show solidarity.
If the Yang family is defeated, maybe these 500 people will go home with the Zhe family, and they will not easily work for the Yang family.
But first killed Zhang Yuanhui, and then burned the grain and grass, saying that it was commanded by Ye Hua, who had just entered the battlefield, and a few gentlemen did it, who could believe it?
But if you play the banner of folding the family, you can't believe it, people have this strength!
If the folded family also makes a move, Liu Chengjun will suffer heavy losses, and at the same time, he will definitely not be able to withstand the pressure of the two families. Directly pretending to be a family army may not have much effect, but at this time, it is definitely the last straw that breaks the camel's back!
Wonderful!
It's wonderful!
Fu Zhaoxin began to marvel, even if his father commanded, he might not be able to grasp the timing so accurately!
Just do it!
They immediately changed their banners, pretended to be the Folded Family Army, and were still among the captives, spreading rumors, asking them to tell Liu Chengjun, wash their necks, and wait for death!
And Liu Chengjun at this moment, he is supervising the army to attack Linzhou.
His father is the emperor, he is the prince, if he can destroy Linzhou, the future throne belongs to him.
What kind of thing is the Yang family!
Yang Xin is just a strong man in Linzhou, how can he know how to fight, Yang Jiye? Hehe, did you forget what I look like Daddy! It's not worth mentioning!
"Call me, today I want to drink in Linzhou City to celebrate!"
The Northern Han army played with their lives to attack the city, and the soldiers in the city fought to the death, although they were brave, but the city of Linzhou was low, and it was not easy to defend.
The predecessor of the Northern Han Army was the Hedong Soldiers, and since the end of the Tang Dynasty, they have been the most powerful men and horses with fierce generals and rich experience. They concentrated their archers, covered their footmen, and struggled to climb the walls, and more and more people behind them poured towards the city.
Seeing that the city defense was about to be broken through, Yang Jiye's eyes were red, he led the guards, carried a long knife, and fought hard to kill the enemy, and finally repelled this wave of offensives, and on the other hand, there was a dangerous situation, Yang Jiye went to the rescue again, as if tireless.
It's only been half a day's work, and Yang Jiye's armor is soaked with blood, and he can't see the color, there are his own and other people's!
And in the Yang Mansion, the Zhe family was restless, going outside from time to time, shouting to kill, and her heart was pinched.
"No, I'm going to help Xianggong!"
She picked up a long sword and was about to go to the city to fight, but the eight guards of the Folding Family immediately turned out and stopped her.
"Girl, the master has ordered, please don't embarrass us!"
"Sorry for you?" Zhe's eyes widened, "The person who fought in the city in blood is my husband, and you don't let me go, and you say it's embarrassing for you?" It just doesn't make sense! You tell my father, the daughter who marries out, the water that is spilled, I am now the Yang family, and if I want to die, I will die with the Yang family! β
"Girl, don't be willful!"
Several guards had black faces and refused to let them go.
In a hurry, Zhe put the sword across his neck, "I can't help you, can't I kill myself!" Get out of the way? β
The guards are stupid, they all know that Zhe Shi is a woman, but she is stronger than anyone else, don't doubt it, she can really do it! Helpless, he could only get out of the way, and the Zhe family rushed out of the Yang Mansion and ran straight to the city, and the soldiers of the Zhi family also followed and went to the city together.
The fold came at the right time, Yang Jiye fell into a bitter battle, two Northern Han generals rushed to the city, they seemed to be brothers, each with a ghost head knife, with tacit understanding, Yang Jiye, who had been fighting hard for a long time, barely parried, and kept retreating.
Zhe stepped forward quickly, a sword stabbed out, hit the neck, and immediately fell to the ground, Yang Jiye took advantage of the situation to cut off another person's head, he was exhausted, panting with a knife, barely raised his head, showed a smile to his wife, and gasped: "The offensive is too fierce, Linzhou is afraid that it will ...... You ......"
Zheshi covered her husband's mouth, "Don't say it, husband and wife are one, even if they die, they will die together!" β
At this time, Yang Chongxun led people to support, he went to the city, looked outside, and suddenly shouted in surprise, "Big brother, it's the Zhejia army, the Zhejia army is here!" β
Yang Jiye and his wife hurriedly looked out, and sure enough, behind the Northern Han Army, there were many banners of folding families, and the husband and wife cried with joy, it seemed that the father-in-law was still interesting enough!
