Wei Chi Jiming agreed, brushed aside a few soldiers next to him, kicked his legs the ground, and then rose more than two feet on the spot, and then made a circle in the air, and then fell firmly to the same place.

Qiu Yizhi hurriedly asked, "Ji Ming, do you see clearly?" ”

Wei Chi Jiming nodded and said, "I can see clearly, it is indeed Li Shengjie who is here." I saw more than a dozen sea boats parked on the riverside, all with beluga flags, it should be Li Shengjie. ”

"Good! That's great! When Qiu Yizhi heard this, he shouted happily, "I have long asked Li Shengjie to move to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, but I didn't expect him to come at such a critical moment." With Li Shengjie's giant ship cannon, there is still a chance to win! ”

In order to lure Zheng Xin to cross the river to the north to fight, Qiu Yizhi arranged for Li Shengjie to sail the fleet to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and closely monitored the situation on the river.

This plan was originally very safe, but Zheng Xin actually transported all the nearly 300,000 troops to Jiangbei in just one day, such a large-scale action not only surprised Qiu Yizhi on the shore, but also caught Li Shengjie on the river off guard.

In the end, the water is different from the shore.

No matter how fast the ship moves, it is also affected by the wind direction, water current, tides, etc., so when Li Shengjie, who was far away in the Huguang area, heard that Zheng Xin used the method of ants to move more than 200,000 troops across the Yangtze River at once, it was already two days later, and when he sailed down the river and arrived at the Xuzhou River section, another three days passed, and it was not until Qiu Yizhi's almost defeat was decided.

The original plan was that after Li Shengjie arrived on the battlefield, he immediately bombarded the rear wing of Zheng Xin's army with artillery, and used the power and momentum of the artillery to kill and injure a large number of enemy troops and demoralize the enemy army, so as to assist in the frontal Qiu Yizhi battle.

But Li Shengjie saw from a distance that Qiu Yizhi and Zheng Xin's team had become a mixed mess, and a cannonball would not only kill and injure Zheng Xin's generals, but also harm Qiu Yizhi's sergeants.

Without the sharp weapon of artillery, Li Shengjie could not play any role in facing Zheng Xin's army with more than 300 sailors on these dozen ships alone. However, he was on board a decisive force capable of changing the tide of battle.

It turned out that when Li Shengjie's fleet was docked at Huguangdao, he made contact with Liu Qing, the former Jiangnan Jiedu envoy who temporarily replaced the left general Wei Huzhen's battalion guarding Huguang, and through Liu Qing, he was connected with Dai Luanxiang, who had a self-respecting army in Jiangnan.

These three people are all on Qiu Yizhi's side, plus Liu Qingjun and Wang Lao Wu, who is responsible for giving orders for Qiu Yizhi, these people discussed it a little, and Dai Luanxiang knew that Qiu Yizhi's strategy of "luring the wolf into the room" was too risky, and if he was not careful, he would lose everything, and there was no room for recovery. Therefore, Dai Luanxiang, the most senior among them, was in charge, so Li Shengjie's fleet was stationed at the dock of Huguang Road, and after Dai Luanxiang led his 20,000 troops to the riverside to board the ship, they would act together.

On the way to Huguang Camp led by Dai Luanxiang from Jiangnan Road, Yuezhou was the only way. Fortunately, although the current Yuezhou Prefecture Pastor Xu Rong was originally a guest under Zheng Xin, he had already secretly communicated with Qiu Yizhi, and when he saw that Dai Luanxiang was going to pass through his own jurisdiction, he opened one eye and closed one eye, allowing him to smoothly lead the army to slip under his nose.

In this way, Li Shengjie and Dai Luanxiang's land and water armies were merged, and finally arrived at the Xuzhou boundary on the north bank of the Yangtze River on the afternoon of the "Xiaoman" day.

Former general Dai Luanxiang was a person who was deeply versed in military strategy, known as "the first general in the sea", and after a little observation on the ship, he knew that Qiu Yizhi was on the verge of defeat, so he asked Li Shengjie to quickly line up the ships and ordered his soldiers to immediately disembark to help in the battle.

But in a hurry, how could all the 20,000 horses on the high sea ship get off the ship and line up, and there were only one or two thousand soldiers who landed one after another, and even the original establishment had been disrupted.

Faced with such a situation, Dai Luanxiang did not stick to the art of war at all, and immediately ordered his son Dai Song to lead the soldiers and horses of less than 1,000 people, lined up in a horizontal formation, and swooped directly in the direction of Zheng Xin's Chinese army banner.

Dai Song's blood is strong, and Qiu Yizhi has a life-saving grace for him, so he naturally did not hesitate at all after listening to his father's order, and immediately carried a long knife, and led his soldiers to Zheng Xin's side.

At this time, Zheng Xin had already put almost all his troops into the battle with Qiu Yizhi, and his men were less than 3,000 men and horses to escort him, and when he saw Dai Song coming from the riverside with murderous cover, he quickly ordered his guards to line up behind him, and did not let Dai Song approach.

The guards beside Zheng Xin were indeed the elite soldiers he repeatedly selected from among the elite soldiers, although Dai Song was sharp, but he was not able to break through the defense of the three thousand elite soldiers, and only fought equally.

Dai Song was about to reorganize the team and fight with the army in front of him, but he heard the continuous sound of Mingjin retreating from behind him. Although he was strong-blooded, he was very afraid of his extremely strict father, so he hurriedly packed up his soldiers and retreated to the river.

Zheng Xin saw that the enemy army was undefeated and retreated, and knew that there must be something strange in it, so he did not dare to wave his army to pursue. As he expected, as soon as Dai Song retreated, another army attacked again.

The attack was led by Dai Luanxiang himself, led by 2,000 men and horses who had just landed on the ship. Compared with the fledgling Dai Song, Dai Luanxiang's bravery is not below, but it adds a little more exquisite discipline. He didn't just rush and punch, but divided the team into three teams, commanded himself in the center, and attacked at the junction of the opponent's formation.

Zheng Xin's escort had just suffered a fierce attack, and before they could come to their senses, they were hit by Dai Luanxiang's precise blow, although they were not immediately defeated, but they also fell firmly behind. They barely mustered up their spirits and were about to return fire, but the enemy retreated, leaving them with nowhere to vent their strength.

When Zheng Xin was thinking about what to do with the enemy, the enemy army that attacked behind him actually retreated. Zheng Xin knew that Li Shengjie's fleet could be called the overlord on the water, and the power of the ship's artillery should not be underestimated, but the sailors on the ship were not familiar with land warfare, and the number was not very large, so he couldn't figure out why there were so many such warlike sergeants to attack behind him.

So Zheng Xin hurriedly ordered his subordinates to scout the situation, but the reward was that the attacking soldiers and horses were all soldiers of the forbidden army, and many of them still had nodding friends.

Zheng Xin was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly took the risk to look forward, but saw that a large banner in the opponent's formation clearly wrote "Han Former General Dai".

"Dai Luanxiang is here!"

Zheng Xin was so surprised that he almost cried out - you must know that when his father rebelled, it didn't go well at the beginning, because Dai Luanxiang blocked between Youyan and Luoyang; In the end, it was Qiu Yizhi who didn't know what counter-tricks he used, so that the puppet emperor Zheng Yao recalled Dai Luanxiang from the front line, which allowed Zheng Rong, who was still the king of Youyan, to seize the opportunity and succeed in one fell swoop.

It was this Dai Luanxiang, after he was ordered to cross Jinling to the south, he used his prestige to constantly convene the old department. When Zheng Xin saw Dai Luanxiang's move, he knew that he must have a plan, and he also issued several orders, asking him to hand over his military power or send the army to Jinling and listen to his command. But Dai Luanxiang ignored Zheng Xin's orders on the grounds that he was a former general of the forbidden army and only listened to the emperor or the prince of the prison country.

Zheng Xin thought of forcing Dai Luanxiang to comply by cutting off the supply of grain and grass. But Dai Luanxiang somehow took the path of Zheng Tinghang, the head of Caoyun, and obtained inexhaustible grain and grass materials from Zheng Tinghang, and also obtained the capital to be able to stand on his own outside of Zheng Xin.

Zheng Xin also thought about the idea of sending troops to attack Dai Luanxiang. But when I thought that Dai Luanxiang was extremely upright and upright in using soldiers, and he was dexterous and decisive, even if he could win, he would inevitably suffer heavy losses, but Zheng Xin's current main opponent was Qiu Yizhi on the north side of the Yangtze River, and he must not easily provoke trouble with Dai Luanxiang at this juncture.

So Zheng Xin could only think that Dai Luanxiang was just looking at the situation in the world and not knowing, and wanted to support the army and respect himself, and when he won the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, the first person to celebrate was this "No. 1 general in China". After deceiving himself in this way, Zheng Xin left only 20,000 horses to monitor Dai Luanxiang's movements, and he led the army north to cross the Yangtze River to find an opportunity to fight a decisive battle with Qiuyi.

To Zheng Xin's surprise, Dai Luanxiang's 20,000 horses did not know how to avoid his surveillance, and somehow got involved with Li Shengjie, took Li Shengjie's big sea, and appeared behind him at the juncture when he was about to win.

Although he doesn't know the ins and outs, the only thing Zheng Xin is sure of is that Dai Luanxiang is by no means easy to match, if Dai Luanxiang's attack is left unchecked, then I am afraid that before Qiu Yizhi is broken, Zheng Xin himself will be captured alive by Dai Luanxiang.

But the problem now is that Dai Luanxiang has only two waves of attacks, and the number of people invested will not be less than 5,000 people, and Zheng Xin only has 3,000 guards around him, although these 3,000 people are elite, they may not be able to withstand the repeated charges of Dai Luanxiang's army, and only by drawing at least 20,000 horses from the army besieging Qiu Yizhi can Dai Luanxiang be quickly defeated by virtue of the numerical advantage.

Now Zheng Xin has formed a three-sided encirclement of Qiu Yizhi - among them, the right wing has the most troops, but not only has to deal with the resistance of Qiu Yizhi's department, but also is entangled with the Bohai Iron Cavalry, and it is difficult to draw troops; Although the frontal pressure is light, the troops are only 10,000 or 20,000, and they cannot be mobilized; Only the left wing confronted Zhao Chengxiao, the general under Qiu Yizhi, not only the troops were relatively strong, but the losses were relatively small, and the transfer of 20,000 horses did not seem to have much impact......

So Zheng Xin immediately issued an order to the left flank to immediately transfer 20,000 soldiers and horses to return to the battle to deal with Dai Luanxiang behind him.

The generals who commanded the left wing of Zheng Xin's army also had some means, and when they heard Zheng Xin's order, they were not busy with the troops, but first sent troops to launch a charge, and slightly compressed Zhao Chengxiao's troops, and then ordered the teams farthest from the battle line, totaling more than 20,000 people, to slowly break away from the battle and immediately move closer to Zheng Xin.

This group of soldiers temporarily dispatched to protect Zheng Xin did not have a firm foothold, and they were attacked by the enemy again.
