Hua'an did not expect such a situation on the north bank of Yishui in advance, and in order not to let the forward soldiers and horses who had crossed Yishui suffer too much losses, he immediately ordered: "The forward soldiers and horses should be evacuated immediately and quickly retreat to the north bank." ”

......Under the order of Hua'an, the soldiers in charge of the order sounded the gong for retreat.

"Big brother, the king has ordered to evacuate, hurry up!" Chen Zhanhu said loudly.

After all, on the beachhead on the north bank, the Yan army's strength occupies an absolute advantage, while the Qiyue array that can be relied on under its command has been broken by the Yan army, and rashly resisting with all its might can only wipe out the entire army.

"Retreat, soldiers, retreat immediately." Chen Poyu was very helpless, and in this case, he had to lead his soldiers to retreat quickly along the pontoon bridge on the Yi River.

In order to quickly evacuate and block the pursuit of the Yan cavalry, the charioteers under the command of Chen Poyu completely abandoned the chariot and ran along the pontoon bridge to the south bank of Yishui on foot.

In order to cover the safe retreat of the Jin soldiers on the north bank of Yishui to the south bank, more than 100 Jin warships fired arrows at the pursuing Yan cavalry along the shore of the north bank of Yishui, thus causing great casualties to the pursuit of the Yan cavalry.

The discarded heavy chariots of the Jin army effectively blocked the rapid advance of the main cavalry of the Yan State, so that a large number of cavalry of the Yan State could not quickly catch up with the forward soldiers and horses of the Jin army, and the large number of arrows fired by the Jin warships further blocked the pursuit of the main cavalry of the Yan State. And the pursuing Yan army also paid hundreds of casualties.

After the Jin army's forward soldiers and horses withdrew to the south bank of Yishui, the battle between the two sides came to an end, and the battle ended with the defeat of the Jin army, however, in addition to the loss of nearly 500 heavy chariots, the Jin army lost very few soldiers in battle, so it was not a big defeat, and the Yan army lost more soldiers and horses than the Jin army. Therefore. It's not a big win either.

After returning to the south bank of Yishui, Chen Poyu and Chen Zhenhu were not in a very good mood, after all, they launched an attack on the north bank of Yishui with hope. As a result, it suffered such a failure. Put on whom. It's not going to feel good.

"The king, the last general is incompetent and failed to block the attack of the Yan army. As a result, our army was unable to break through the Yishui defense line tonight. Chen Poyu ran to the high platform and pleaded guilty to Hua'an.

Hua An waved his hand and said softly, "General Chen, how can I blame you for this?" This king has seen it all, it is the secret weapon of the Yan army that broke through the defense line of our army's moon array, but it is far away, and the light of the torches is not very bright, for this reason, this king has not been able to see what the secret weapon of the Yan country looks like, General Chen, you tell this king, what the secret weapon of the Yan army looks like. After speaking, he looked at Chen Poyu.

Hearing this, Chen Poyu carefully described the specific situation of the Yan army's conical chariot, and told Hua'an that the power of the conical chariot impact was very huge, and it was completely an enlarged version of the siege chariot.

Knowing the basic situation of the Yan Army's conical chariot, Hua An suddenly fell into deep thought, after all, the power of the conical chariot was too powerful, and the Yan army had such a powerful weapon, but it was difficult for the Moon Array to exert a huge advantage.

"Your Majesty, the Yan army has such a powerful secret weapon, and our army relies on the plan of the Moon Formation to force the crossing of Yishui, I am afraid that it will be difficult to realize, and we must find another way." Wang San said softly.

Hua An thought for a while, and said, "Let the soldiers go back to the camp immediately to rest!" How to break through the Yan army's Yishui defense line, this king still has to think about it. After saying that, he motioned to the generals to immediately go and arrange for his soldiers to return to their respective camps.

After the generals left, Hua An stood alone on the high platform on the south bank of Yishui, looked at the north bank of Yishui, and fell into deep contemplation, Murong Ke suddenly invented a conical chariot, which greatly surprised Hua An's expectations, thus making the action of the army under Hua An's command fail, however, Hua An has made up his mind that he must break through the Yishui defense line, and for this reason, he must come up with a better way to cross Yishui.

On the shore of the north bank of Yishui, Murong Ke and his subordinate generals walked to the side of the heavy chariot of the Jin army and began to study the heavy chariot of the Jin army.

"Fourth brother, the front of the Jin army's chariot and the front of the driver are covered with wooden planks, so that it can effectively block the attack of arrows, on the broad chariot, enough to stand three soldiers, and the chariot is even more powerful, if it weren't for the fourth brother who thought of building a conical chariot, I am afraid that the Yishui defense line will have been broken through by the Jin army tonight." Murong Ba Zhengse said.

Murong Ke touched the heavy chariot discarded by the Jin army, nodded, and said with emotion: "The Jin army's chariot is well-equipped, and it is indeed a force that cannot be underestimated. ”

"Fourth brother, rest assured, our army has a powerful conical chariot, which can completely break through the defense of the Jin army's Qiyue Formation and hold the Yishui defense line, there shouldn't be too much of a problem." Murong Ba said confidently.

"General rest assured, we will definitely defend the Yishui defense line, and we will definitely not let the Jin army soldiers and horses cross Yishui." All the generals of the Yan Army looked confident.

After all, after a victory in repelling the Jin army, the confidence of the generals of the Yan State has been greatly enhanced, and they believe that with the powerful power of the conical chariot, they can completely repel the attack of the Jin army.

Murong Ke continued to observe the heavy chariots of the Jin army, and said loudly: "The specific situation of the Jin army's chariots has long been known to our army, so this general will let the craftsmen build a conical chariot to restrain the Jin army's moon array, and now, our army's conical chariot has broken the Jin army's chariot, which can be described as a great show of might, so that the Jin army can know a lot about our army's conical chariot, but I am afraid that it will soon create targeted new weapons, so our army still can't take it lightly." ”

When the generals of the Yan Army heard this, they all nodded approvingly, and said that they would definitely increase their vigilance and not let the main force of the Jin Army take advantage of it.

"Fourth brother, our army's conical chariot is extremely powerful, what kind of powerful new weapons can there be in the world that can restrain our army's conical chariot?" Murong Ba said casually.

Obviously, Murong Ba couldn't figure out what kind of powerful weapon the Jin army could invent no matter what.

Murong Ke smiled and said softly: "This fourth brother doesn't know, but the Jin army's attack tonight has suffered such a failure, and they will definitely not be reconciled, so they will definitely try their best to break through the Yishui defense line and create a new weapon against our army's cone-shaped chariot, which is only one of the possibilities." ”

When Murong Ba heard this, he nodded slightly, paused, and said loudly: "Fourth brother, the soldiers and horses of the Jin army Xie Ai are still in the direction of Daijun, if they do not attack Jicheng, but attack the main force of our army with the main force of the Jin army on the south bank of Yishui, I am afraid that the pressure of our army will be very huge!" After speaking, he looked at Murong Ke.

Murong Ke nodded, and said with a straight face: "That's right, this is also the situation I'm most worried about, in case the two armies before and after the Jin army attack our army at the same time, the pressure on our army will be too great." ”

"Fourth brother, if such a situation really occurs, how should our army respond?" Murong Ba asked.

Murong Ke frowned and said softly: "In case such a situation occurs, our army will have to divide its troops to defend against the enemy." ”

Obviously, Murong Ke was unwilling to lose the Yishui defense line, after all, once the Yishui defense line was lost, the Jin army could drive straight into and approach Jicheng, the capital of the Yan Kingdom.

"Fourth brother, if our army divides its troops to defend against the enemy, I am afraid that the Yishui defense line will be even more difficult to hold, should our army consider retreating earlier." Murong Ba said worriedly.

When Murong Ke heard this, he did not answer directly, but said that as a general of the Yan Kingdom and a member of the royal family, he would go all out to defend the Great Yan Kingdom and defend the Yishui defense line no matter what.

In order to guard against the Jin army's two-sided attack, Murong Ke sent two scouts respectively, one focusing on exploring the every move of Xie Ai's army, and the other way, making every effort to explore the every move of the main army of Hua'an on the south bank of Yishui.

#####

In the camp of the Jin army on the south bank of Yishui, Hua'an, after some careful consideration, decided to immediately send his henchmen and lieutenants to the direction of Daijun to give an order, so that Xie Ai's army would give up a direct attack on Jicheng, but instead wave his army to the south, and attack the main force of the Yan army Murong Ke with the main force of his own troops and horses, so as to completely annihilate the core strength of the Yan army, and then greatly weaken the overall strength of the Yan State, so as to relieve the northern threat faced by the Great Jin.

Of course, Hua'an can't completely pin his hopes on Xie Ai's army, after all, Xie Ai's army has only 60,000 soldiers and horses, and the army deployed by Yan State on the north bank of Yishui has 160,000 horses, and the strength of Xie Ai's army does not have any advantage at all, so Hua'an must improve the ability of his main army to cross Yishui.

And because Murong Ke's army invented the conical chariot, the Jin army's original reliance on the Yue Array was completely unreliable, so it was necessary to try to come up with a better way to deal with the threat of the Yan army's conical chariot.

Hua'an summoned his subordinate generals, carefully studied various feasible countermeasures in the big tent of the Chinese army, and finally decided to adopt a comprehensive and large-scale strong attack strategy with the cooperation of Xie Ai's army, and built a large-scale pontoon bridge in a large area on the south bank of Yishui to disperse the defensive forces of the soldiers and horses of the Yan State, and then, under the escort of surface warships, launched a full-scale attack on the north bank of Yishui.

In order to make it difficult for the Yan army on the north bank to resist, Hua'an on the one hand greatly increased the materials for building pontoon bridges, so that the army under his command could build more and better pontoon bridges, and on the other hand, let the craftsmen of Shuizhai make every effort to build medium-sized warships, so as to provide more escorts when the main army launches a forced crossing operation.
