Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Battle of Jishui

The person who had the information for Guo Fang's advance was named Fu Ying, and he replied at this time: "The Sui army that came to help now has about 12,000 people, and now all of them are camped on the edge of Jishui. ”

Guo Fang had a hunch and said with some surprise: "Which county can transfer so many people at once?" ”

Because Yang Guang is now conquering Goryeo, the government soldiers in various places are basically withdrawn, and only some county soldiers are left to defend, which is also the reason why Guo Fangzhen and other thieves can go around to capture counties at will.

According to Guo Fang's estimate, even if the Sui army has reinforcements, but they are not subordinate to each other, they should be scattered everywhere, and now these 12,000 Sui troops suddenly appeared, since they are stationed in the same camp, it looks like they are from the same place.

But Fu Ying replied: "These 12,000 people are not from the same county, Dongping County, Liang County, and Dong County each have more than 3,000 people, a total of more than 10,000 people, and there are 2,000 people, led by the deputy general of the Yang Mansion of Sour Zaoying, and the reason why these people can get together seems to be related to this Li Yin." ”

Li Yin ...... Li Yin, is it the Li Yin who killed Ge Qian? Guo Fangxuan suddenly asked with wide eyes.

Fu Ying nodded: "That's right, it's him." ”

"Hmph, Lao Tzu is not Geqian's lost dog!" After thinking for a while, Guo Fangzhen shouted with a murderous look in his eyes: "Follow me to Jishui, first destroy the 12,000 Sui army, and then come back to attack this Jiyin City!" ”

……

"General Yulang, the Guo thief is coming in the direction of our army!" Tanma back reports.

"Got it, probe again!" Li Yin replied indifferently, and Tanma immediately continued to find out the information.

Li ...... General Li Lang, we have few people, why don't we avoid the enemy's edge first! A middle-aged man with a fat figure said to Li Yin with a slightly pale face.

This person is the deputy lieutenant of Dongjun, although there is a gang of thieves in Wagangzhai in Dongjun, but Wagangzhai does not plunder Dongjun, and other thieves do not dare to invade the "territory" of Wagangzhai, which makes Dongjun relatively stable, so there are soldiers to send.

In the past, wherever there was a garrison, the assassin brought all military ranks to unify it. When Yang Guang was in the third year of the great cause, he was appointed as a lieutenant and a deputy lieutenant. The lieutenant is the fourth grade, and the deputy lieutenant is the fifth grade, commanding the county soldiers, which makes the Taishou completely lose the right to lead the troops.

The main soldiers of the Sui Dynasty were the government soldiers, and there were not many county soldiers in each county, more than 10,000 people, and only two or three thousand, as long as the duty was to maintain law and order and exterminate the bandits, Dongping County, Liang County, and Dongjun were all densely populated counties, so even if half of them were dispatched to rescue, there could be more than 3,000 people.

Because it is an extraordinary period, the captains of each county dare not leave the county easily, so all the people sent by Jiyin are deputy lieutenants, but even if they are deputy lieutenants, they are one level older than Li Yin's official position, and it stands to reason that Li Yin should listen to them.

However, because these three deputy lieutenants are all children from major families, they have basically never seen any blood, and they don't know how to fight at all.

And Li Yin is different, the first expedition to Goryeo, unparalleled military exploits, known to the world, after arriving at the sour date, repeatedly won battles, and the name of good fighting spread all over Henan.

Therefore, when Li Yin went to persuade them to join forces to get it, these three self-aware deputy lieutenants handed over the command to Li Yin, who was one level lower than them.

Li Yin showed a confident smile at this time, and said to the deputy lieutenant of Dongjun: "Lieutenant don't worry, although the number of thieves is five times that of our side, in my opinion, they are just some local chickens and dogs, and they will definitely be able to kill them without leaving a piece of armor!" ”

As soon as Li Yin's words came out, the hearts of the three deputy lieutenants instantly calmed down a lot.

……

Guo Fangzhen soon led a large army to the vicinity of the Sui army, only separated from the Sui army by a river.

Jishui originates from the Taiyi Pond on Wangwu Mountain, from the Taiyi Pond more than 70 miles has been underground, and then it comes out of the ground, I heard that there used to be a natural wonder of "three hidden and three appearing", now it is not visible, after passing through most of Jiyin County, it finally merges into the giant field ze in Dongping County.

Jishui can only be regarded as a small river, but now is the turn of spring and summer, and there is a lot of rain, so the current Jishui is not easy to cross.

Guo Fangpre had already ordered people to loot the boats that crossed the river in advance, and more than 10,000 people could cross each time, Guo Fangpre immediately ordered to let the most elite troops cross the river first.

Fu Ying immediately persuaded: "Lu Gong, the enemy will not evade it, and he will have something to rely on, in case the enemy crosses the ......."

Guo Fangpre sneered: "Do you think I'm a person who doesn't understand military theory?" If there are more than half of our army on the opposite side, I dare not cross the river easily, but our army can cross 10,000 people at a time, which is basically the same as the number of enemy troops, and the first time to cross the river, it is the elite of our army, even if the enemy army is powerful, it will definitely not be able to defeat our army in a short time, a small water, no more than a mile wide, and the night will come, and the rest of our army will cross the river again, and will be able to defeat the enemy army! ”

After Guo Fangqian said this, Fu Ying was immediately speechless, but somehow, his heart was still unstable.

Guo Fangzhen's team of thieves, because they won several battles in a row, their morale was very high, and more than 10,000 people in the vanguard boarded the boat and crossed the river with a shout.

……

When the 10,000 men crossed Jishui and began to land, the deputy commander of Dongjun said, "General Li Lang, should we attack?" ”

Li Yin shook his head, "Wait." ”

When all the 10,000 people went ashore and set up a position, the deputy lieutenant of Dongjun touched the sweat on his forehead and asked, "General Li Lang, can you attack now?" ”

Li Yin still shook his head: "Wait a little longer." ”

After a while, the ship went back again. Another 10,000 people came, and as soon as these people landed, the deputy lieutenant of Dongjun said anxiously: "General Li Lang, it's time to attack!" ”

Li Yin replied with a normal face: "Wait a little longer." ”

The deputy lieutenant of the Eastern County roared angrily, "Wait? What are you waiting for? Waiting to die? ”

After he said this, he hurriedly turned his horse's head, preparing to take over his team, and then hurriedly slipped away, in the eyes of the deputy lieutenant of Dongjun, Li Yin was either crazy or wasted.

But before the deputy lieutenant of Dongjun could leave, Li Yin pulled him off his horse, drew his sword and faced each other, put away the smile that had been hanging on his face, and said coldly: "Since I am now the commander-in-chief, then everything has to listen to me, I said wait a while, you dare to move, see if I don't kill you!" ”

The deputy lieutenant of Dongjun trembled: "You...... You ......" He said several "you" in a row, but in the end he didn't say a complete sentence.

Li Yin put away the knife and said to the other two deputy lieutenants: "You have to be careful with me, wait a while, the victory is ours!" ”

Looking at the murderous Li Yin, the two deputy lieutenants were silent and did not dare to raise objections.
