On the banks of the Zhangjiang River, the flags were unfurled, and the command flags of all regiments and prefectures fluttered fiercely in the river wind, and Li Jiezhi's army had always paid attention to good order, and the Tang army wearing dark iron armor and infantry armor was lined up in an incomparably neat battle formation, and the swords and spears in their hands exuded a cold light in the sunlight, and the evil atmosphere was pressing, like a steel forest.

Directly opposite the Tielin of King Min, the faces of the barbarian warriors who came out of the ravine were painted with all kinds of battle marks, and the fierce bodies that had been tempered by the tiger and wolf jungle games all the year round were directly exposed, although there was no neat formation of the Tang Army, it still looked hideous and terrifying, especially under the crowd, it was black, and they roared and roared in the face of the beasts of the Tang Army, which was also terrifying.

The problem is that although the two armies are constantly shouting at each other like a rainbow, they can't fight at all, and there is a spacious and turbulent Zhangjiang River in front of them.

Originally, Li Jie deliberately gave up a day's distance in order to fight a decisive battle, and the army moved forward slowly, making a look of fear and stagnating behind Jiulong Mountain, but unfortunately waited for three days in a row, and imagined that the barbarians would directly kill the world, but I didn't expect that it seemed that these people in the mountains and fields were not so irrational as they imagined, except for a small group of troops crossing the river to destroy the tea mountain and sugar cane forest, the team of people and horses just did not pass the river.

After waiting for three days, Li Jie, who couldn't afford to wait, had to throw the plan of the decisive battle at the foot of Jiulong Mountain and the total annihilation of the chaotic army into the trash, and led the army to go up.

Then there was the long standoff by the river.

On the high wooden command platform, even if he is as passionate as Li Jie, he can't help but doze off in the sun, and Scar Liu is leaning directly under the flagpole, and as soon as the helmet is crooked to cover his eyes, snoring bubbles begin to appear in his nose.

Not to mention him, a series of other generals are also staggering, even Qin Huaiyang, a model among the generals, couldn't help yawning in the end, until the sound of lunch at noon sounded, and everyone was shocked, especially Scar Liu, who climbed down the command platform with a snort, and the angry Li Jie couldn't help but stare at him.

There was only lunch time every day to make the Tang army feel a little victorious, the Huotou army directly carried the big pot of dinner plates down to the front-line troops, the local eggs raised in the mountains fried melon slices, broth, rice, although simple for people in this era is still considered a luxury, the rich fragrance wafted across the riverbank, and the greedy opposite She people salivated one by one, and their eyes were red.

However, even if the Tang army lost his armor and ate properly, Rao was so chaotic that the army had no intention of fighting.

"What exactly is Sheren going to do?" In the command headquarters, holding a rice bowl and nibbling on chicken legs, Li Jie still shouted with puzzlement: "Advance or retreat or retreat, who is bigger than us?" ”

"It won't be a special trip to consume our army's food and grass, right?"

The chopsticks were pulled quickly in the rice bowl, a bowl of white rice was bottomed out in a blink of an eye, and he turned his head to pick up the fourth bowl, Scar Liu muttered vaguely, but he couldn't help but listen to the generals who rolled their eyes, why don't you say that you are too good to eat?

"Look, the rebel army knows that fighting on the plains is not the opponent of our army, and they still plan to lure our army deep into the territory." After a morning of leisure, Wang Fangyi was not hungry, so he simply put down his rice bowl and compared it on the map: "The scout came to report, from the back of this tributary of the Zhangjiang River in front of us, it is either a woodland or a swamp, and our army's heavy armor cannot be mobilized at all, and the barbarians are good at sneak attacks and operations in this terrain, just like in Wulin outside Jianzhou City." ”

"Your Highness, our army still can't act rashly!"

"When's that going to be? The barbarians don't eat, and they waste our army's food and grass here! Dropped the fourth empty bowl, picked up the fifth bowl of rice, and filled a large spoonful of melon sliced eggs, Scar Liu muttered while stuffing it, and a large group of generals who listened rolled their eyes again, and Li Jie also covered his forehead depressedly.

"I said Lao Liu, it's not like you haven't seen the slang people who moved from near Quanzhou City, and the food is not much less than yours, although there are She people on the other side, but they are also people, can people not eat?"

"But they really haven't eaten, Lao Liu hasn't seen them eat!"

Scar Liu said vaguely, looking around, in addition to looking at Tang Jun's meal and drooling, the She people on the opposite side were really standing stupidly in the sun, except for some who were thirsty and went to the river to drink saliva, they didn't eat anything, cold, Li Jie had a flash of inspiration, put down the rice bowl and turned around to Chen Huang, who was hiding in the corner and silently pulling the rice bowl, and pressed her shoulder.

"Huang'er, you Fujian people have had the experience of fighting with the She people before, how did the She people's grain and grass come from?"

I don't know if it was pressed on the shoulder by Li Jie or lifted by Huang'er, Chen Huang was obviously flustered, and only after a while did he stumble and replied: "This, I, I don't know, even if there was a rebellion in the past, it was only a few thousand people in a cave on a mountain, and everyone carried their own food." ”

"Carry the food on your back!" Li Jie's eyes lit up suddenly, and he sat in a row and shouted excitedly: "Why didn't this king think of it before?" Even barbarians have to eat, no matter what the strategic intentions of the She people are, the food that a person carries is always limited, as long as they are entangled, once the food is eaten, the She people will not stand and collapse, and then they will be chased and killed all over the mountains! ”

"What does Your Highness mean?" also suddenly sobered up, Wang Xuance immediately turned his head excitedly, and Li Jie suddenly nodded emphatically: "That's right, cross the river, stick to them, we have terraces behind us, and the rice in the first season can be harvested in a few days, even if it takes a month or two, we are not afraid, even if She people have spare granaries, we will be able to exhaust them for him." ”

"You don't have to stare at it with big eyes." Listening to Li Jie's excited words, a large group of generals actually dropped their bowls and shouted excitedly.

In the afternoon, the Tang army's position, which had been silent for three days, suddenly began to roar, more than 20 stone throwers poured out a rain of stones to the other side of the river, and the barbarians who did not even have clothes were immediately beaten to the head and bled and screamed, and they retreated one after another, and when the She people withdrew from the place for a while, the Tang army immediately shouted the trumpet and rowed a small boat across the Zhangjiang River.

Not far from him, a hand holding a flute couldn't help pinching the green tendons.

In the area of the Zhangjiang River, there can be quite a lot of flat land next to the river, quite fertile, and many swamps are superior paddy fields, in the past, the Fujian family has not dared to cross the river to cultivate because the minority forces here are too strong, but this time it is different, there are nearly 10,000 people as bodyguards of the Fujian King Tielin, the army crossed the river, and set up a barrier on the other side of the river to stand on the other side, Li Jie immediately requisitioned more than 2,000 people, and began to open up the wasteland in the south of the tributaries of the Zhangjiang River.

Now the She people really can't sit still, this large-scale chaos is because the local indigenous people feel that the living space of the Han people has compressed the backlash, and now the Tang people continue to approach in this way of encroachment, who can stand it? On the fifth day of crossing the river, countless She people and slang people once again came out of the dense forest and swarmed to kill the Min Wang army.

It's a pity that at this time it was too late, relying on tools to govern, the Tang army sappers cut down wood early to build a wooden fence several miles long, and the Tang crossbowmen only needed to easily pull the bow and crossbow on the fence wall, and they could shoot the sultry people who were killed from the forest to the ground, and the war was quite unfair.

Although it paid a terrible price, the rebellious army at this time seemed to be difficult to ride.

At this time, Scar Liu Ke didn't sleep, standing on the wall of the wooden wall, shouting and commanding the soldiers to continue to fight with the attacking rebels, the Tang army waited for work on the wall, and after crossing the river, under the protection of the crossbowmen, it was said that all the woods were cut down and burned, and the sultry people could only rush out of the uncovered trunk area, and before they could attack the wall, half of the people were shot by the crossbow on the road.

It is said that war promotes human progress, it is true, after such a tragic attack, the She people finally learned to be smarter, some of them used big wood and big stones as shields, and some simply put on the armor of the Tang Army captured outside Jianzhou City, I really don't know who used to mock the cowards hiding behind the iron clothes.

However, in this way, the war was finally fought, and there were often rebels who could kill under the wall, and the defenders were so panicked that they desperately stabbed down with their long lances.

On the bank of the river behind the wall, but it is a more busy scene, the stones are thrown into the Zhangjiang River to make bridge piers, on the pontoon bridge, the people carry the burden endlessly, the building utensils such as the roasted civil engineering stones are constantly transported to the opposite bank, on the construction site, the circular earth building with a diameter of more than 50 meters has risen two or three meters high, and many soldiers are helping on it, a scene of labor in full swing.

Standing on the command platform that was carried to the other side of the river and more than ten meters high, Li Jie couldn't help but be ambitious, and said loudly: "After building an earthen building on the shore, burn the wasteland, advance, and encroach like this, even if the Fujian rebel army is not annihilated this time, sooner or later the people will be driven back to the mountains and starve to death!" At that time, there will be no beacon smoke in the potential, and Fujian will be in great peace. ”

Looking at the results, Wang Xuance was also proud, but he still gave his hand slightly: "His Royal Highness the King of Fujian is wise, once he pacifies Fujian, he will be a celebrity for eternity!" ”

"Haha."

When a group of Fujian monarchs and ministers gathered together to brag and fart, a few horsemen rushed to the command platform on horseback, and after a while, it was actually Zhong Yuanhong, the Fuzhou Thorn Shi who climbed up out of breath, full of hot sweat and white smoke in the river breeze, but the Fuzhou Thorn Shi was extremely excited and shouted: "Your Highness Qiqi, the cavalry has found a sultry rebel grain hiding place in Shenxi Valley!" ”

"Good!" Li Jie immediately turned his head excitedly.

In the command headquarters, looking at the deep Xi Valley behind the red line as a line of red lines, Li Jie's fingers focused on it, and he ordered with excitement: "Give an order to General Wanyan, order his mountain army to attack, go around to the back of the sultry rebels, the whole army will attack in the past few days, entangle the rebel army and don't make them retreat, once General Wanyan's hand, the whole line will defeat this rebel army!" ”

"Whoa!"

Scar Liu and a dozen other generals stood up together and clasped their fists, and in the command center, an emerald green flute finally quietly slipped back into ...... pocket.
