On this line of the Yupancheng River, after receiving the report that Deng Jiuru had crossed the river upstream, in order to echo and cooperate with the upstream left route army, under the order of the eldest prince, Li Bao's headquarters began to attack the opposite bank more violently.

A group of soldiers from the north of the town rode a boat to the opposite bank, and arrows on both sides rained down, and capsized boats and floating corpses could be seen everywhere on the river.

In front of the river, the iron cavalry of the Yan people has lost their former sharpness, even if it is the Zhenbei army, so it is no wonder that Qianguo deliberately paid a huge price from Qianjiang to artificially dig out a Bianhe River to protect his own capital.

But the Zhenbei Army is also the world's first-class elite, even if there are no horses, its morale and martial arts are definitely worthy of being the world's warriors.

It has been several times, and the Zhenbei army has successfully broken through to the opposite bank, and then quickly tried to form a formation to cover the arrival of the follow-up soldiers and horses.

It's just that the previous times because the rebels' counterattacks were too fierce, they failed to gain a foothold on the shore, and they all fell short in the end.

It's like attacking a city, wave after wave, trying to break through the face by grabbing points.

However, when several Yan troops who had smuggled across the shore a few days ago suddenly came out from the other side of the bank under the orders of the great prince, they successfully disrupted the rebels on the other side.

Finally, a team of more than 500 people successfully landed on the ferry and stabilized its position, and then the follow-up Zhenbei army began to continue transportation.

On the rebellious side, the morale is finally a little uncontrollable, and they can no longer organize the daredevils to expel the Yan people on the shore as before.

First, the Yan cavalry that suddenly appeared on their side brought them great psychological pressure, and second, the rebels were still dominated by rabbles from all walks of life, and the real elite were only a few.

And that small part was actually consumed in the initial shore fighting.

Without the support of the backbone, the other rebels immediately began to languish.

"Your Highness, it seems that it's not just the Left Route Army, we are going to break through here!"

After seeing another fleet of ships transporting eight hundred armor soldiers, Li Bao finally couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and walked to the eldest prince and said.

Born in the north, a man who fights in the desert, in this life, it is the first time to fight a water fight.

This big river almost wants to kill Li Bao depressed, but anyway, the mouth has been torn open, and the main force of the savages is not here, and it is only a matter of time before the other side is captured.

Moreover, to a certain extent, taking the other side is equivalent to a successful crossing of the river, and if the river crossing is successful, then Yupancheng will be at your fingertips.

The reason is very simple, this is not far from Yupan City, and the rebels, that is, Situ Yi's small court that was supported by savages, will inevitably line up the army on the shore to defend, and will not stupidly put soldiers and horses on the city wall, waiting for the Yan people to cross the river and attack or besiege the city.

In other words, Yupan City should be an empty city at this time!

The balance of victory has been pulled down by himself and others, and the destiny of heaven will return to Yan, and he will be invincible!

The eldest prince took a deep breath, he was young after all, and at this time, it was inevitable that he would be a little excited.

The main force of the Left Route Army should have crossed the river, and if it broke through on its own side, then the Wangjiang River would be completely torn apart.

After taking Yupan City, and then until the easternmost part of Chengguo, the terrain is basically flat, and the savages are fighting or retreating, and he can deal with them more calmly.

The Dayan army is still the most majestic on the war horse, and it is more convenient to use.

The most important thing is that without the support of Situ Yi, the puppet court, the guest army of the savages will also lose all support on this land.

However, just then, the messenger arrived:

"Report !!!!!!!! There are Chu warships in the upper reaches to cut off the river! ”

What the!

The eldest prince and Li Bao glanced at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes.

Chu people, why do Chu people appear here!

How could the Chu people, who are fighting among themselves, appear here!

"Report !!!!!! The main force of the savages raided the camp of the Left Route Army! ”

"Report !!!!!! The camp of the Left Army is in a fierce battle! ”

"Straight lady thief, what's this called, no wonder I didn't see the savages here, it turns out that the main force is upstream!"

Li Bao scolded, and his chest rose and fell.

The appearance of the Chu people and their sailors directly disrupted the rhythm and layout of the battlefield, becoming a great unknown.

Li Bao is a veteran general in the army, and his experience in leading troops to fight is much richer than that of Deng Jiuru, who is older than him, if it is the Zhenbei Army, then it is okay, the Zhenbei Army armor is used to fighting with the barbarians in the desert, even when sleeping at night, the knife handle is also used to holding in his hand.

If it is said that the Jingnan Army was able to ban it because of the strict military discipline of the Marquis of Jingnan, then the Zhenbei Army relied on this instinct to fight in the desert.

When he went south to Qianguo, Li Fusheng, as the commander of the first army, dared to throw himself into the camp to scatter, because even without his command, the soldiers and horses under his command knew how to cooperate with the battle.

But what is the Left Army?

There are many military heads, the general soldier of this family, this family and that family are in-laws, that family and this family are feuds, if it weren't for the fact that the eldest prince rectified the left route army after entering Yingdu, they could even fight over the distribution of grain and grass supplies!

You don't have to think about what kind of chaos this group of people will be after they have just crossed the river, and if they encounter a surprise attack by the main force of the savages at this time, what will happen.........

The most important thing is that the water division of the Chu people cut off the river, and the main force of the left route army that crossed the river has no way to withdraw at all, and the follow-up reinforcements cannot be reinforced.

The Left Army is tantamount to becoming a lone army!

"Your Highness?"

Li Bao looked at the eldest prince.

At this juncture, it is still up to the prince to decide.

It's not that Li Bao deliberately pushed the matter to the eldest prince, nor that he Li Bao was afraid of taking responsibility, but now it seems that Wangjiang, who is disturbing the singing of various families,

For the current Yan Jun,

There are only two paths.

One

At this point, Ming Jin withdrew his troops.

The Left Route Army, just look at the creation of the Left Route Army, and look at the creation of Deng Jiuru.

Because after the Yan army entered the country, there has never been a large-scale conflict with the savages, and the savages have been avoiding war in the early stage, obviously preserving their strength, plus when the three families were divided, whether it was the Situ family or the Helian family, they could go out from time to time to fight the savages and bully others, and their own Jingnan Marquis only led 30,000 cavalry to cross the snowfield, which undoubtedly made Li Bao and other generals somewhat underestimate the combat effectiveness of the savages.

Deng Jiuru's side, as long as he guards it well, he should be able to hold it, right?

In the end, the Great Yan army can't be crushed by the savages all at once, right?

The second option,

That is to continue to storm here, whether the damn Chu people sailor is there or not, whether he comes or not, break through here, take Yupan City, and the battle situation can be reversed immediately.

Even, to put it mildly, when both sides of the river are in the hands of the Yan army, that Chu sailor doesn't care when you sneak upstream, as long as he still loves to fight and doesn't hurry up, then those boats will have the surname Ji sooner or later!

In fact, there is another reason why Li Bao can't say it.

That is the reason why His Majesty let the eldest prince coordinate the military leaders of all walks of life in the territory to enter the battle, which means that he wants to integrate these military leaders and their soldiers and horses, which is very clear.

Even, if you try to speculate again, it really can't be done, and it's okay to consume them......

The eldest prince stared at Li Bao with his eyes.

Li Bao was also looking at him, and the two of them looked at each other.

The eldest prince immediately said to the messenger beside him:

"Detect the movements of the sailors of the Chu State!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, the eldest prince drew his saber and roared:

"I, Ji Wujiang, as the commander of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, will never do that pair of robes that will not be saved when they see death!"

When Li Bao heard this, he lowered his head and saluted with his hands in fists, he understood.

"Li Bao!"

"The last general!"

"Transfer Lone's pro-military camp directly, Lone will personally board the ship and take down the other side, our army has not lost yet, as long as the other side is taken and Yupan City is taken, this situation is still under the control of our army!"

When Li Bao heard this, he immediately said:

"Your Highness, it's too reckless, the last general is willing to rush in person, and please ask Your Highness to sit in the army, you are the commander of the army, there must be no mistakes!"

"Resolute has been decided, needless to say, you and I both know that there is a Chu State Navy across the river, if we can't take the other side this time, wait for the Chu State Navy Division to go down the river and isolate here, then the opposite Yupan City, we will not be able to fight down again.

The Left Route Army, can't help it!

He Deng Jiuru, even if he can't hold it, even if he holds it, if our army can't cross the river to respond, the left army can't support it for too long! ”

The eldest prince held his knife and cut off the cloak on his body, and shouted:

"Guard the battalion, board the ship with Gu!"

"We obey!"

"We obey!"

Surrounded by a group of guards, the eldest prince came to the shore and got into bed, paddled himself, and began to cross the river.

Li Bao said "hehe" twice, he didn't stop Ji Wujiang's behavior anymore, to put it bluntly, that is, the life of the Ji family in recent years is just a little more valuable.

Back then, the Ji family didn't say it was the prince, it was the emperor, and if he died in battle, he died in battle, who said that?

As a military general, Li Bao said that the eldest prince should not be in danger, but his heart was actually quite surging.

As a member of the Zhenbei Army, when the Marquis of Zhenbei and His Majesty were acting, they had the idea of breaking into Tiancheng County to conquer Yanjing and snatching the emperor's dragon chair for their own marquis to sit on.

Even later, before the county lord decided to marry the crown prince, their thoughts were not extinguished.

It's just that with the Zhenbei Hou taking the initiative to cut the Zhenbei Army, the big guys also know that the Hou Ye doesn't want to rebel and sit in the world at all, so everyone settled down.

Right now

Look again,

Yes

The boy of the Ji family, the blood is still there, but it doesn't make people feel disappointed.

As soon as I thought of this,

Li Bao immediately shouted:

"Trapped in the camp, board the ship with Ben!"

"General, the main hall has gone down, and you have also gone, what should you do here?"

Li Bao's subordinate general Sui Yuanyi immediately dissuaded.

He is Li Bao's son-in-law and Li Bao's favorite general.

"You can do it yourself, Yupancheng can't take it, and you don't have to fight this battle at all!"

After the appearance of this water division, the difficulty of the Yan army crossing the river in the future will increase exponentially, because it is impossible for the Yan army to conjure a water division in a short period of time.

At the same time, the Yan army will most likely lose the Left Route Army.

This will directly affect and change the strategic situation of the entire Chengguo war, even if the Left Route Army is not good, it is also the regular army of Yanguo, and its combat power cannot be compared with Zhenbei Jingnan, but the Eastern Expedition army lost tens of thousands at once, how do you want to handle the next battle?

"Trap the camp, board the ship!"

At this time, the second ferry boat had already come, and under Li Bao's order, the trapped soldiers began to board the ship.

There are six towns in the north of the town, and each town has a trap camp, which is the essence of a town's soldiers and horses, but when there is a fierce battle, the trap camp must take the lead as the arrow of the whole army.

At the moment, Li Bao can be regarded as a shipwreck.

If the other side of the strait can't be breached, Yupan City can't be taken, so everyone will wait to ask Your Majesty for guilt!

Over there

The eldest prince led the personal guard battalion to the shore, and the Yan army originally stationed on the shore had already expanded a large area before the eldest prince came.

When the eldest prince came up, the Yan army on the shore not only had another wave of replenishment, but also its morale was greatly boosted, on the contrary, it was the Chengguo rebels above, and their morale instantly withered to the extreme.

In fact, as the commander of an army, the bright armor is also very useful, the main general is the courage of an army, but also the soul of an army, to play an inappropriate analogy, when people fight on the battlefield, emotional fluctuations will be very large, and when people are confused, after seeing the figure of the main general, there will really be a feeling that the wanderer sees his father and mother.

Therefore, in ancient and modern Chinese and foreign cold weapon wars, the lord will wear a special bright armor, which is almost a conventional rule.

When the Marquis of Jingnan led the army to conquer the snow field, he didn't need to speak at all, and directly used himself as an arrow to charge forward, which was extremely terrifying to increase the morale of the knights under his command.

Of course, for the sake of the safety of the demon kings, Zheng Fan of Shengle City had to give up this privilege of being in the limelight with great regret.

The rebels of Chengguo on the shore also saw the figure of the eldest prince, which was really invisible, because whether it was the eldest prince himself or his own military camp, the armor on their bodies was already too bright.

The main general of the other party, the prince of Yan Kingdom, who led the troops in the legend, has already landed in person, and there is not a single figure of His Majesty the Emperor on his side, and he is really afraid of comparison.

"Yan Jun obeys the order!"

The eldest prince raised his long knife and shouted.

"100 steps forward!"

With the addition of the pro-guard battalion, the Yan army began to rush forward with all its might, and it was an almost arrogant and unreasonable way to forcibly push back!

The Chengguo rebels on the shore are still resisting, but this resistance has become more and more weak, they are more numerous than the Yan army that landed on the shore, but in terms of morale, it is no longer comparable.

Along the way, deserters began to rout in the rebels of Chengguo.

This phenomenon is contagious, and for a while, the number of routs begins to increase.

If there were reinforcements from the rebels at this time, they might be able to stabilize the situation again, but it was obvious that there were no soldiers and horses in Yupan City to reinforce them.

The eldest prince knows in his heart that since the main force of the savages is upstream, then here, it must be empty, as long as he survives, fights, and kills, he can finally tear this line of defense apart!

Originally, he may have been worried about the cost of casualties and wanted to eat away at Wangjiang in the safest and least costly way, but now, he can only fight to the death.

fortunately

It's done.

After a fight,

The eldest prince reached out and pulled out the arrow that had been shot between the armor of his shoulder, and at the same time reached out and wiped his blood-stained face.

At this point,

The trapped camp led by Li Bao also landed, and the addition of a new wave of new forces completely broke the last bit of insistence of the Cheng army.

From the generals to the soldiers, the rebels began to flee.

Li Bao held a knife with one arm and was killing in the middle of nowhere, but he still remembered what was going on and hurried to the eldest prince's side.

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

The eldest prince shook his head, stretched out his hand to support Li Bao's shoulder, and said:

"Keep moving forward and take Yupan City!"

The defense line on the shore has been broken, and at this time, it is necessary to take Yupan City in one go, instead of continuing to wait for the follow-up soldiers and horses to cross the river, because if you don't take Yupan City as a stronghold at this time, maybe the sailors of the Chu State will continue to come south here and cut off the river here.

With Yupancheng as a support, it can echo the left route army upstream, and the water division of the Chu State can no longer continue to cut off the river unscrupulously, and even, the eldest prince even dares to use the left route army as a point to wrap the dumplings of the savages in reverse!

As the prince of Yan Kingdom, there is still no shortage of this courage!

"Gather the soldiers and horses, rout the troops without chasing, and follow the commander to take Yupan City!"

………

On the small river leading to Yupan City, the flower boat was still floating there, but with the rebel soldiers who fled from the shore on both sides of the surrounding road, Xiao Si finally appeared on the flower boat and began to swing the oars and move closer to Yupan City.

On the flower boat, the eighth prince of Chu only had a small relief.

The swordsmith sighed and said:

"Yan people, they are indeed fierce."

This is something that has to be admitted, and it is something that has not been proven.

It's just that this time, I saw it with my own eyes.

The Eighth Prince nodded and said:

"Yes, that's why the fourth brother decided to join forces with the savages, otherwise, if you sit and wait for the Yan people to annex all the land of the Three Jin Dynasty, and completely look at the north and look at the difficulty, if you are condescending, he Yan people will fight the Qianguo if they want to attack the Qianguo, and if they want to attack the Chu State, they will attack the Chu State;

With the sharpness of the Yanren Iron Cavalry, and the addition of the Three Jin Knights, I am Da Chu, and I only have the power to parry and no ability to fight back. ”

"I understand the truth, that is, after this time, the friendship between Yu Huaping and me is completely ruined, alas."

The world knows that

The Sword Saint of the Jin Kingdom and the Sword Master of the Chu State are close friends.

The swordsmith of the Chu State created a dragon yuan for the sword saint,

The sword master is even more praised, raising the swordsmith to the throne of the four great swordsmen.

"It's also strange, Great Xia has been dead for eight hundred years, what is his sword saint's brain made of, and he still thinks that he is a remnant of Great Xia instead of a Jin person."

"If you hold a sword in this life, you will hold it. I think that if there is a choice, the Fourth Highness will not want to join forces with the savages. ”

"What are the wild people, they are nothing more than a group of wild dogs, and when this wave of Yan people is stuck in Wangjiang, it will win this time for my fourth brother, and in the future, this will be the boundary of the country, and it will eventually belong to my Da Chu."

"The savage king is not an ordinary man, and if I could, I would have killed him while he was still on the ship.

If the Yan people are tigers, then the savages may be wolves in the future, Your Highness must not be careless. ”

"I understand the reason, after this battle, I will definitely talk to the fourth brother about this savage king."

"Then I'll be relieved."

Saying,

The swordsmith shouted to the men who were rocking the oars:

"Hurry up, didn't you see the Yan people chasing after you!"

"Master, seems scared?" His Royal Highness was a little curious: "Could it be that the master is really as the legend says, and he doesn't know martial arts?" ”

"The sword in the sheath is the most terrible sword in the world."

"I don't understand."

"Because it can bluff people."

"Oh, I kind of get it."

"It doesn't really matter if you understand it now."

"Huh?"

"Because Qu Tiannan doesn't come out again, we will be captured alive by the Yan people."

………

Thousands of Yan troops, under the leadership of the Great Prince and Li Bao, directly chased the rout and rushed towards Yupan City.

If this wave goes on, it is almost a sure thing to take the city by taking advantage of the situation!

These Yan troops are already tired, but their will is still firm, they are in a hurry to cross the river and fight, and they can't wait for the transportation of war horses, so they are basically foot soldiers at this time, and what they are asking for is to take the city in waves!

however

Just when I saw the wall of Yupan City,

The city gate of Yupan City suddenly opened, and from inside the city gate, a group of soldiers in cyan armor began to walk out in a neat queue, as if there was a steady stream.

Knife and axe soldiers, spearmen, crossbowmen, heavy armor soldiers, column after column, after leaving the city, directly formed their own military formation.

Their banner is cyan, embroidered with a phoenix, and the color of the armor and the banner indicate their identity, the Great Chu Qingluan Army, the elite infantry warriors mastered by the Qu clan of the Chu State.

Then

A middle-aged general riding a white horse with a blue bird standing on his shoulder slowly walked out of the city gate:

"Great Chu Qu Tiannan, I have been waiting for the prince of Yan Kingdom for a long time!"
