Chapter 554: Showing Weakness
Yan Yan personally led 20,000 'elite' sharps and went to Tong County by water. ΡΡΡ.(vii) (ix) x.S.ΡΠΎΠΌ The update is so fast.
The news spread quickly.
The news reached Tong County, and Zhao Yun directly invited Lu Su to the camp tent.
There was a faint smile on Zhao Yungujing's face, and he was 'coloring' and said: "Military advisor, as expected, after Li Yan arrived in Jiangzhou County, he urged Yan Yan to enter the army. Now Yan Yan is leading 20,000 troops to kill, and he will soon arrive in Tong County. The most important thing is that according to the news that came out, Li Yan actually took out the token given by Liu Zhang and forcibly ordered Yan Yan to enter the army. β
Lu Su stroked his beard under his chin and said, "In this way, Yan Yan and Li Yan are at odds. β
Zhao Yun heard the song and knew the meaning of elegance, and as soon as he heard Lu Su's words, he understood what Lu Su meant: "The meaning of the military advisor is to further separate the relationship between the two. β
"Yes!"
Lu Su nodded, with a serious expression: "Yan Yan is strict and guarded, and he has quite a lot of experience." It is not an easy thing to defeat Yan Yan, so you can only start with the relationship between the two and separate the relationship between Li Yan and Yan Yan. Especially when Li Yan has the token given by Liu Zhang, it is even more forceful to force Yan Yan, and things work better. β
Zhao Yun said: "What should I do?"
"Show weakness!"
Lu Su didn't think about it, and gave a direct reply.
Zhao Yun said again: "How?"
Lu Su said: "Next, let's do this,......"
Immediately, Lu Su said a rough plan. After listening to this, Zhao Yun deduced the plan proposed by Lu Su, and then rested the entire plan, and the two discussed it together for half an hour before deciding on the strategy.
Lu Su said: "The general plan and framework are so set, but this is a 'confrontation' between the two armies, and the plan cannot catch up with the changes. Once there is a change, it can be adjusted temporarily. β
"Hmm!"
Zhao Yun nodded, and the two reached a unified opinion.
......
On the wide river, warships sailed quickly.
These warships were loaded with 20,000 'elites' under Yan Yan's command.
On the deck of the flagship, Li Yan and Yan Yan both leaned against the side of the ship, looking at the sparkling river of the 'wave' and were silent. At this time, it is the 'spring' day, the sun is shining, and the warm sunlight is sprinkled on the river, shining on the body, which is even more refreshing.
Yan Yan glanced at Li Yan and said, "Master Li, Zhao Yun is not simple, and Lu Su is not an ordinary person. After we arrived in Tongxian County in this battle, we must be careful, plan and then act. β
Yan Yan leads the army, he is good at defense, and he is like a cheetah with enough patience, because Yan Yan believes that when the two armies are stalemate, there will always be one side that shows flaws. As long as the opponent has a flaw, he will give a fatal blow.
Therefore, Yan Yan hopes to be steady.
In Li Yan's ears, these words were Yan Yan's timidity and fear.
Li Yan's chin rose slightly, and he said: "Yan Taishou, how to fight this battle, this army division has its own plans." Although you are the Taishou of Ba County, your own army division is ordered to supervise the battle by the main attack, and you can just follow the arrangements of your own army and division. β
"Alas......"
Yan Yan sighed lightly when he heard Li Yan's words.
Li Yan heard Yan Yan's sighing 'kiss', and he was even more unhappy in his heart.
"Humph!"
Li Yan snorted and walked to the cabin, he was really ashamed to be powerful with Yan Yan. Such a timid and fearful person, I really don't know how to serve as a county guard?
"Woo!"
Suddenly, the sound of a trumpet sounded over the river.
As soon as Li Yan stepped into the cabin with one foot, he suddenly heard the sound of a horn. He turned and returned to the deck, looking out at the river ahead. On the wide river in front of us, ships and boats have already appeared.
Behind the ships and boats, large ships also appeared.
"Enemy attack, be on alert!"
Li Yan saw that an enemy had appeared, and immediately gave an order.
All the Yizhou soldiers on the building ship were all on alert and carefully guarded.
Li Yan stared at the warships and walkers on the river in front of him, and muttered: "I expected that this road would not be so smooth, but I didn't expect Zhao Yun to really send soldiers to attack." Hmph, I can't help myself. β
Yan Yan's expression was solemn, and he was ready for battle.
At this time, the foremost ship and the boat were leaning towards the shore of the river, and the building boat behind them was 'exposed'.
The two building ships walked side by side, rushing quickly.
In this era, the building ship was called the "building ship" because the deck and building of the building ship were particularly huge, the ship was high and wide, and the appearance looked like a building.
Because the building ship is too large, it can be attacked from a distance and can also be advanced.
However, in ancient times, there were no cannonballs, and there were no long-range lethal weapons, so the "engagement" on the water, more often, was to "shoot" with bows and arrows, or after the ships collided, and then climbed onto the opponent's ship to fight.
The only drawback is that because the building ship is too large and too high, the "sex" ability to resist the wind and "waves" is poor, and the center of gravity is unstable, and in most cases it is the main force in the inland river water war.
Li Yan saw the other party's building boat rushing up, and knew that the other party was about to collide.
He gave the order, ordered the flag to wave, and saw two building ships quickly meet each other and collide with each other.
"Boom!"
The two building boats collided, setting off bursts of 'waves' and 'flowers' on the river.
The striking building ship is also constantly shaking.
Especially after the two building ships collided with each other, the distance was shortened, and I saw that the soldiers on the Jingzhou building boat quickly took out and put them on the two ships, and then killed them with weapons.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The shouts of killing were endless, and one by one the soldiers killed on the Yizhou building ship and began to fight.
In addition, the soldiers on the ships and boats on both sides also began to attack quickly, either killing the enemy with bows and arrows, or starting to climb the ships and board the opponent's ships to fight.
The fighting on the river is relatively less scheming.
Especially when there are not many ships, it is difficult to set up a formation to meet the attack, so it is mainly fighting.
The Jingzhou soldiers continued to fight and gradually gained the advantage.
After Li Yan saw this, he hurriedly mobilized two building boats to step forward, and then ordered the soldiers under his command to start boarding the previous building ship to crush the soldiers of the Jingzhou army.
There were not many Jingzhou troops in this battle, and even Zhao Yun did not appear.
When Li Yan continuously mobilized soldiers to kill and wound, the Jingzhou soldiers soon showed a decline, and they were already 'exposed' to the end.
"Bell!
Suddenly, the sound of a gong resounded on the surface of the river.
This voice summoned the soldiers under Zhao Yun's command to retreat.
After the soldiers got the order, they no longer fell in love with the battle, and simply returned to their own building boats, and at the same time, the flexible and flexible ships and walkers on both sides of the building ships responded with bows and arrows, and quickly got rid of the building ships of the Yizhou army.
Under the sun, the Jingzhou army's building ship quickly disappeared from sight.
On the river, calm gradually returned.
Li Yan waited for the soldiers to count the battlefield, and after a short time, a soldier came to report that he had lost 223 people in this battle. For Li Yan's army, such a loss is a 'hair', and it is not enough to consider at all.
It's just this battle that made Li Yan feel that the Jingzhou army was not to worry, and even more thought that Yan Yan was too cowardly and he was too conservative.
Li Yan looked at Yan Yan and said lightly: "Yan Taishou, in the battle just now, it was Zhao Yun who sent someone to sneak attack and stop us. Although the opponent's troops are not many, the leopard in the tube shows that the Jingzhou army is not a jackal, a tiger and a leopard, not a flood beast, and can be defeated. β
Yan Yan heard the voice outside the words and said, "This official didn't say that the Jingzhou army could not be defeated. β
Li Yan said: "The posture you gave to your army division is that you think that the Jingzhou army cannot be defeated. β
Yan Yan said: "Li Junshi misunderstood this official. β
Li Yan shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter if there is a misunderstanding, what matters is the next battle, how Yan Taishou will respond to the battle and how he will behave." This military division is looking forward to Yan Taishou's next performance, hoping that it will not disappoint this military division. β
Yan Yan heard this, but he didn't say a word.
He has been in charge of Ba County for many years, and he is the two generations of old ministers in Yizhou, but he was so humiliated by Li Yan.
Yan Yan didn't speak, but Li Yan flicked his sleeves and went back to the cabin.
Yan Yan stood alone on the deck, blowing the river breeze, looking at the river, and couldn't help but sigh lightly. When the generals in the army saw that Yan Yan was being suppressed and bullied, they came over to comfort him, but Yan Yan refused and asked the generals to go back to rest.
At this time, Yan Yan was still patient, as long as he could defeat Zhao Yun, everything would be easy to say.
Everything is for Yizhou.
It's just that Yan Yan was worried in his heart, Zhao Yun suddenly sent two building ships to fight for a while, and then withdrew, could there be anything greasy in this? It's just that he thought about it, but he didn't figure it out, and he couldn't understand the other party's arrangement.
