Baili Wuji looked at the map in front of him, his heart was rolling, and he was very entangled.

The battle continued until nightfall, and the Liao army had completed most of the task of filling the river, and the Ming army had no effective means to stop it.

The two armies died down and each collected its troops and returned to their camps.

Baili Wuji sat opposite Baili Yi, Xu Shouren, and Chen Yanzheng, and no one could think of any good way to deal with the Liao army's river reclamation.

The strength of the Ming army is at a disadvantage, once it takes the initiative to attack, it is likely to fall into the encirclement of the Liao army several times its own, even if it can win a miserable victory, I am afraid that it will also suffer huge losses, and it is no longer able to gain a foothold on the Huang River, so it can only shrink and retreat to Dading Mansion to defend.

The most effective way to defeat the strong with the weak is to defend the Huang River, use the distance of more than 20 zhang of the Huang River, and use muskets and artillery to resist the enemy, so as to offset the superiority of the Liao cavalry. However, in the face of the Liao army's advance by filling the river, the Ming army could not stop it, which was bound to cause the last two armies to fight hard.

In this way, Yiqiē returned to the original place, and the Ming army still had to face several times the Liao cavalry to launch a surprise attack on itself.

Baili Wuji is not afraid to let the new army fight with the Liao army, he is worried about the real main target of Yelu Xiuge, but from any point on the map, Baili Wuji believes that the Ming army's defense is perfect, several months of preparation, all the houses and people on the south bank were moved south, and the Ming army dug trenches and stone walls ten zhang away from the river beach, built forts, and laid mines.

Although a section of the fortifications on the defensive line was smashed by the Liao army's catapults today, this did not affect the Ming soldiers who quickly repaired it after the evening strike.

Therefore, Baili Wuji can be regarded as useless in this practice of Yelu Hugo.

"Jeremy is not a fool. He will never do useless work, he must be hiding his true purpose. Baili Wuji suddenly spoke.

Bai Liyi, Xu Shouren, and Chen Yanzheng glanced at each other when they heard this, and Xu Shouren said, "Your Majesty." Our army's defense line is very stable, if the Liao army concentrates a little to attack, the special operations army and General Chen's headquarters can be reinforced to every point of engagement at any time, and the delay is enough for Ayi to mobilize the surrounding new troops to encircle, so today's movement of the Liao army should only be to cross the river smoothly. ”

Baili Wuji saw that the three of them didn't have good ideas. sighed and said: "I hope so, send more scouts to investigate along the Huang River, and strictly guard the situation on the north bank." Any changes must be reported to me. ”

The three of Baili Yi retreated, and Baili Wuji fell into deep thought.

For two days in a row, the Liao army filled this section of the Huang River in the same way, although there were some casualties. But for the huge total number of Liao troops. Thousands of casualties were almost negligible.

This section of the river will be filled, and as long as there are no accidents, it will be completed in another day. However, Baili Wuji and others still had no effective way, so they could only watch half of the Huanghe River being filled by the Liao army.

The only way to keep the Ming soldiers vigilant and prevent emergencies was to wait for the Huang River to be filled in, and then the Liao army advanced the front and launched a strong attack on the south bank.

And in these two days. The scout's report showed that the Liao army was normal and that there was no large-scale troop movement.

"Am I really too careful?" Baili Wuji muttered to himself.

It was dawn. The Liao army continued their work of filling the river, while hundreds of thousands of Ming troops were "appreciating" the performance of the Liao army on the south bank.

This qiē changed in the early afternoon.

In the afternoon, after the Huang River on the north bank was filled, all the Liao soldiers who filled the river retreated like a tide, and the Ming soldiers who were staring at the south bank quickly prepared for a sudden attack by the Liao army.

At this time, thousands of catapults appeared on the north bank again, and instead of attacking the Ming army fortifications, they poured stones on the other half of the Huang River, that is, the half of the Ming army.

But unfortunately, Bailiyi suffered the loss last time, this time the prepared artillery positions covered the targets on the north bank that had been demarcated, and the Liao army's catapults only made a few throws, and they were overwhelmed by dense artillery fire, and the artillery fired a column of incense in a row, and at least seventy percent of the thousands of catapults were overturned or blown to pieces.

Seeing that the Ming army was prepared, the Liao army could only make the remaining catapults retreat.

However, the Liao army took advantage of this time to start an attack on the south bank.

The Liao army was obviously frightened by the artillery bombardment, and the attacking soldiers' formations became scattered, and they no longer attacked in a swarm like before, but advanced in groups of three or five, in groups of ten.

It is said that the battlefield is the best school for soldiers, and this is true. The Liao army's offensive turned into waves of forwards, ranging from three to four thousand men per wave.

At this time, even if the artillery is covered, the results obtained may not be as good as before, and the effect of artillery coverage at this time is only to deter and deter, wasting shells. Because as soon as the artillery sounded, the Liao army could completely retreat, wait for the artillery to stop, and launch another attack.

And Bailiyi was not ready to use artillery to resist the enemy, because Baili Wuji's words three days ago stabbed him, indeed, in the past few years of fighting, the Ming army relied on the advantage of firearms to be invincible, but Bailiyi never thought that the new army under his command did not have the courage to fight with the Liao army, and now, he needs to prove this to Baili Wuji, and also to himself and to the soldiers of the new army.

The Liao army's attack was very smooth, the Ming army did not shell, not even a musket sounded, the Liao army from slowly trying to advance, to quickly running forward, until they came to the south side of the Huang River that was filled in, the Liao soldiers put aside the shields in their hands, took off the bows and crossbows behind their backs, and began to shoot at the Ming positions scattered.

The Liao army gathered more and more, and the arrows changed from scattered to patchy, and when the crowd was so dense that Bailiyi was about to change his mind and bombard it, countless Liao soldiers began to swim down the river to the south bank.

At this time, if you look down from the sky, it is a state of flocks of ducks driving down the river.

Bailiyi immediately dismissed the idea of artillery bombardment and continued to put the soldiers on alert.

The Liao army, which was not blocked, quickly reached the beachhead and turned to charge towards the river beach.

But unfortunately, the planted mines began to exert power, and a powerful series of explosions shattered hundreds of Liao troops in the blink of an eye.

As a result, the Liao army that landed on the shore began to squat, at a loss, not knowing whether to continue to rush forward or retreat, but under the reprimand of the Liao army general in the crowd, the soldiers stood up again and rushed towards the river beach. And this charge is no longer a horizontal charge, but a column charge of 100 people.

The mines still exploded under the feet of the Liao soldiers, but the effect was getting lower and lower, and the passage that the Liao soldiers walked out with flesh and blood continued to extend forward, and the distance of more than ten zhang killed thousands of Liao soldiers, but the passage was opened.

Seeing that the Liao army entered the range of muskets, Bailiyi gave the order to shoot.

However, due to the fact that the Liao army advanced in columns, the muskets could only hit the front, so the Liao soldiers got closer and closer to the Ming position. (To be continued......)
