Chapter 339: A hasty attack was plotted
Li Heng led the army to intercept and kill the enemy army, and the fight caused them to scatter and flee, and all the grain, grass and money returned to Li Yi. The lightning attack of this battle www.biquge.info quickly succeeded, and the harvest was very huge. More than 3,000 enemy troops were captured, countless gold and silver treasures, and countless grains and grasses were counted.
At the same time, Zhang Ying's army also easily succeeded, although the property of Julu was transported away by the Yellow Turban Army one step earlier, but there was a huge amount of food, and the enemy soldiers were still rushing to transport it, so they did not have time to burn it, and all of it was handed over to Zhang Ying, which became a trophy to welcome Li Yijun.
Li Yiqi attacked Pingxiang and achieved fruitful results, he tasted the sweetness, leaving Li Heng to lead a thousand men and horses to defend the city, waiting for Yu Bing's follow-up troops, he quickly left Pingxiang City, crossed the water and went straight to the next target Ren County.
The vanguard was erecting a pontoon bridge, and the scouts sent back a military report: The Yellow Turban Army in Ren County had abandoned the city and came straight to the sleeping water. The Yellow Turban Army advanced quickly, and it seemed that it had detected Li Yijun's movements, and it was about to attack him in a half-crossing.
It was to dismantle the pontoon bridge, confront the Yellow Turban Army in Ren County across the river, and wait for Zhang Ying and Yu Bing's armies to go around behind the enemy and trap them. Or do you lead the leading troops to rush across the river and fight the Yellow Turbans to the death? Li Yi has no one to ask around, he has always obeyed Zhang Yingyan, but now he has to make his own decision, and he hesitates for a while.
The Yellow Turban Army is running wildly, the military situation is urgent, and if it is delayed, the opportunity to fight to the death will be lost. Li Yi was really anxious, he secretly complained, why didn't he pay attention to the war strategy on weekdays? Li Yi was forced to be helpless, and he angrily gave an order: "Brother Qianjun, follow me across the river!" ”
If this order had been issued one step earlier, he might have been able to grab a thousand horsemen, but Li Yi was indecisive and delayed the fighter plane, and as soon as he rushed through the two tuns of soldiers and horses, the enemy army overwhelmingly pressed up.
In the face of thousands of enemy troops, although the soldiers of Jianping had experienced a hundred battles, they could not help but increase their cowardice by three points before fighting. Since he has chosen to fight against the water, he can't think about taking back the water that has been spilled, Li Yi is a character who runs all the way to the black, even if he is completely lifeless, he has to fight to break the net.
In order to boost the morale of the generals, Li Yi shouted loudly: "The brave wins when they meet on the narrow road, the Jianping Army has no bad seeds, it is the men who follow me!" With a loud shout, Li Yi brandished a big iron spear and rushed towards the Yellow Turban army. In order to keep up with the follow-up troops, Li Yi did not dare to use bows and arrows, but pressed the enemy as much as possible and reserved a larger beachhead.
Because of hesitation, he lost the fighter, Li Yi also held his breath, his big iron gun was like flying, as long as he was swept by this real guy, his bones would be broken and his tendons would be broken, and he would be killed in Huangquan. Seeing that the lord regarded death as his home, and fought with the enemy army to the end, the soldiers behind him were all inspired, and they all fought with high morale and slaughtered into the enemy army like a dragon and a tiger.
Li Yijun was a cavalry, and his combat effectiveness was much higher than that of the infantry, and as the Yellow Turban Army was cut like leeks and slaughtered by Li Yijun, his military spirit began to fluctuate. Li Yijun gradually gained the upper hand, and reinforcements continued to replenish it, while the Yellow Turban Army lost its strength and began to retreat on all fronts.
Suddenly, an exclamation sounded on the water: "It's on fire, the pontoon is on fire!" Li Yi peeked over and saw the fire on the pontoon bridge. Li Yi was taken aback, isn't this a house leak that happens to be rainy? What are you afraid of?
Why did the pontoon bridge catch fire for no apparent reason? It turned out that a small boat floated upstream of the sleeping water, and with the help of the water, it rushed straight to the pontoon bridge. The Jianping army was a model of loving the people like children, and began to find that the boats were threatening the pontoon bridge, only to shout at it to stop. Unexpectedly, the boatman was like a deaf man, and he still went his own way. Seeing that the boat was about to collide with the pontoon, the soldiers panicked, some jumped off their horses and tried to hold the boat with steel guns, and some were afraid of being hit, so they hurriedly jumped their horses and flashed to the side.
Just as the river was in chaos, something even more heart-wrenching happened, and suddenly the small boat burst into flames, and then a raging fire broke out. The soldiers who were about to resist the boat were also stunned by this scene, and just when they were stunned, "Bang! With a loud bang, the pontoon bridge was hit hard by the boat, and it shook violently. Several of the knights on the bridge were not mentally prepared, and under this huge collision, their bodies lost their balance, fell off their horses, and luckily fell on the bridge, breaking out in a cold sweat. Unfortunate enough to roll into the water and flutter desperately. Some simply fell into the water with people and horses, and the soldiers who struggled in the water could not escape their bad luck because they were wearing heavy armor, and they were quickly swallowed by the torrent.
He Fan was crossing the river with the soldiers commanding the soldiers on the east bank, and because of his outstanding military achievements, he had been promoted from the military marquis to Sima. Seeing that the crisis in the middle of the river was reborn, He Sima immediately jumped his horse and rushed to the fire scene and shouted: "Brothers, don't panic, let's come together and drive the fire boat away from the pontoon!" ”
Under He Fan's organization, several soldiers moved together, and several big guns poked at the fireboat, with the "one, two, three!" The trumpet sounded, and everyone tried to push the boat away with all their strength at the same time. But several people exhausted their strength to feed, and the fireboat did not move.
"There must be steel nails in the bow of the fireship!" A soldier suddenly shouted. He Fan noticed at this time, isn't it, the front of the boat is densely covered with a row of steel nails! These big nails, by the huge impact force, have been firmly embedded in the big ship, and they are one with it, unbreakable.
There is no guy around, how can the boat be separated quickly at this critical juncture? He Fan was so anxious that he turned around, and the soldiers around him were also miserable, and they almost cried. There were no tools to fight the fire, and there was no way to isolate the source of the fire, so they could only watch the fire spread to the pontoon. There are two soldiers who still don't give up, scooping water with helmets to fight fires, how can a drop in the bucket work? Under the pressure of the rising heat, the faces of these two people were extremely hot, almost squeezing out the moisture in the flesh. The two of them were sweating profusely and in pain, and finally they could not bear the burning of the fire, and reluctantly retreated.
Seeing that all efforts were in vain, He Fan shouted: "Withdraw, withdraw quickly!" "Blocked by the flames, he had to retreat with his men to the east bank.
"Untie the chainship's cables! If we grab one more boat, we will be able to transport more than ten more soldiers! Although He Fan's heart was pounding, his mind was still calm, and he gave instructions from time to time.
The raging flames on the river separated thousands of soldiers and horses on the east bank of the sleeping water, causing a small detachment led by Li Yi to fall into an extremely arduous and fierce battle.
"This is definitely premeditated!" Li Yi sighed: There are really capable people in the Yellow Turban Army, and it is really admirable to have such a move. Seeing that the soldiers and horses only crossed the river once, can they now rely on 500 people to fight the enemy? There is no way back for success or failure, and if Xiang Yu broke the kettle back then, it is not far away. But the overlord of Chu was fully prepared and took the initiative to cut off the retreat. It was a good thing for him, but he was plotted by the enemy, and he was not only in a dilemma, but also lost contact with the main force. (To be continued.) )
