Three hundred and thirty-four times, the Qi army pressed forward step by step
As soon as the generals heard that Tian Pet didn't pay too much attention to the life and death of Lin Zhaoqi and the three of them, they got together and discussed one after another, Bi Zuo and He Qi had some opinions on Lin Zhaoqi's own actions, so they took the lead in agreeing to Tian Pet's resolution.
Originally, among these generals who cut down Yan, except for Tian Pet, Bi Saga Qi was the largest, and the generals saw that the attitude of these two people had been expressed, so they all agreed with Tian Pet's resolution without any objections.
Tian Pet saw that all the generals agreed with his opinion, and immediately ordered all armies and battalions to reorganize their men and horses, and wait for the order to attack again to the north.
Here, Wang Jian saw that the army attacking Yicheng was blocked, and he really saw the strength of Yihou's soldiers and horses, and he knew that if Yihou did not get rid of it, it would become the biggest obstacle to attacking Yan, so he ordered Guan Fei and Hao Zhan to lead 100,000 troops to help.
At this time, the southern line of Yishui was blocked by the Yihou navy, and the fishing nets woven with iron wire on the river could be seen everywhere, and these fishing nets were tied with sharp bamboo knife boards, forming a barrier to block the enemy ships.
When the Qin navy saw this simple line of defense, they didn't pay much attention to it at all, and only turned the catapults on the boat to aim at these fishing nets, intending to destroy these lines in a way that was already covered by artillery fire.
They drove forward for some distance, preparing to officially launch an attack, but found that there were countless wooden barrels floating around the fleet, and a Qin soldier picked up a wooden barrel with Changge in curiosity, and the main general opened it and found that it was filled with fire oil, and hurriedly ordered a retreat to avoid this area.
It's a pity that it was too late, a small Yan army boat that had already been ambushed came quickly, and several archers on board launched rockets like locusts, and the wooden barrels were instantly ignited, and these Qin army warships were also instantly drowned in the sea of fire.
The main general on the flagship at the rear of the fleet saw the fire in front of him, and had no choice but to retreat to the Qin army's water village in desperation.
Upon hearing the news of the retreat of the navy, Wang Jian was furious and stepped up the offensive on land, sending Xiahou Zhang to lead 30,000 elite soldiers to the army that helped the attack, while Guan Fei and Hao Zhan had already led the soldiers to attack.
Seeing that the Qin army was coming in large numbers, Yi Hou decided to gamble with all his men and horses to face the battle, and ordered the general Wei Sheng to lead 100,000 cavalry to reinforce Qin Ming, Xiang Lang, and Hao Meng.
Xiang Lang Dingji relied on the terrain to resist steadily, and more than 100,000 soldiers and horses were distributed on the plain, defending with the help of terrain and various strongholds, which caused a lot of burden on the Qin army.
Guan Fei took advantage of the numerical advantage to divide his troops and attack separately, he himself led the soldiers and horses in the middle to push over, and Hao Zhan and Xiahou Zhang each led a small number of lightly armed cavalry to attack the enemy's weak places, and divided a part of the troops to attack the enemy's food routes and logistics support.
Both the Qin and Yan armies invested huge troops, so they immediately fought in this area, and this place turned into a hell on earth for a while.
In the Yan army's Dazhai, Zhao Ziyi, who went to investigate near Fangcheng, came back and said to Liu Xiang: "I have heard the news, they will continue to attack to the north soon, and they are now reorganizing their troops and horses."
"Tian Pet is really crazy, he doesn't want to think about how many surviving soldiers and horses are still in the north after several battles, and they continue to attack north regardless of the lives of the soldiers, what should we do."
Hearing Wen Yi's words, Liu Xiao said: "I thought that the road in front of him right now was to lead the remnants to evacuate Fangcheng and slowly withdraw from the country, but I didn't expect him to know so much about pain, so we can only let him know what it feels like."
Then, Liu Xiang gave an order to leave Han Chao and Guo Yue to guard Dazhai and the granary, and the rest of the generals led their men and horses to gallop all the way north.
At this moment, Tian Pet had led a large army to close Zhuoxian, because most of the soldiers and horses here were brought to the front line by Zhao Ziyi, so after a while, all the strongholds outside the city fell to Zhuoxian.
Tian Pet divided several small groups of lightly armed troops, and they ambushed in twos and threes on the main road between Zhuoxian and Jicheng, and all the men and horses sent by Zhuoxian County to ask for help were killed, and the city immediately fell into a dangerous situation.
Hearing the news that the Qi army was attacking Zhuoxian, Liu Xiang adopted the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao, and temporarily let Zhuoxian attack Fangcheng regardless of sending troops.
Knowing that there were still more than 4,000 people in the city and that the city was full of tall and thick defensive equipment, they decided to hold back the pace of the Yan army and buy time for the army to attack Zhuoxian.
Liu Xiang is also very aware of the number of people under his command, and must not suffer too much loss here, Zhuo County guard Fang Cheng (that is, the Fang Cheng that Zhang Yin Wenyi and others saw at the beginning, has not appeared for a long time) saw that he had failed to ask for help from Jicheng, and hurriedly sent people to ask for help from Liu Xiang who attacked Fangcheng.
After receiving several letters asking for help from Zhuoxian in a row, Liu Xiang seemed to be a little impatient, but he knew that if he divided his troops to rescue or change the strategy of the army at this moment, there was a great possibility that the whole army would be wiped out.
After thinking about it again, Liu Xiang suddenly had a plan in his heart, and immediately made arrangements for the generals, and the generals followed his orders to drive troops to attack the city in front of him.
The Yan army entered the range of bows and arrows in the city with great momentum, and then turned back, and several times in a row, the Yan army had almost no casualties, but the Qi army in the city was exhausted.
Seeing that the defenders of the city were already a little unable to support it, Liu Xiang ordered the armies to continue to attack the city without stopping, and used the only catapult he carried to assist in the siege.
A moment later, outside Zhuoxian County
Tian Pet saw that the Yan army defending the city suffered more and more casualties, and was very satisfied to encourage the soldiers to continue to rush to the city, at this time, a Qi military captain Pegasus ran to Tian Pet's side, and said: "General, I am the captain under General Bi Zuo, Fangcheng will not be able to withstand the fierce attack of the Qi army, please return to the army quickly to rescue."
"What, the Qi army is about to conquer the city when it attacks Fangcheng, this is impossible, only Liu Xiang and Mu Huan's men and horses have the most possibility of attacking the city, but how many people are there in total, and the fierce battles for days have caused them heavy casualties, how can they still have the ability to attack the city, Bi Sahe Qi will not even be able to stop such an army."
After listening to Tian Pet's words, the adjutant general Qi Jian said: "I heard that there was a rebellion in the Mu Huan Guards last night, and the casualties of the entire Guards were definitely not small, how could they instantly regain their strength and send troops to attack the city."
"There are still a lot of defenders in Fangcheng, and the city is tall and thick, and the defensive equipment is sufficient, so it should be able to hold out for a while, and we will quickly conquer this Zhuoxian County and then mention the matter of rescuing Fangcheng."
As soon as Tian Pet's voice fell, he saw a cavalry Pegasus come to report: "Fang Cheng has already infiltrated the Yan army soldiers, they are now attacking the grain hoarding place in the city, and the Yan army generals led the troops to rush up to the city tower to engage the defenders, our defenders have suffered heavy casualties and cannot resist the enemy's internal and external attacks, please support the general quickly."
