Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Battle Breaks Out on the Riverbank

But at this point, everyone has no way to retreat, and now they can't escape or hide, so they can only bite the bullet.

Fortunately, the enemy came by boat, and although we didn't have long-range attack arrows, we were on the shore, so we had a natural geographical advantage.

After the generals discussed, they sent an order to the whole army to be on alert, and Cao Yan also impassionedly boosted morale.

The soldiers had already guessed that there would be today, so they were not surprised to hear the news.

On the contrary, under the encouragement of General Cao Yan, they were full of morale, clamoring to kill as many as they wanted.

They are all people who have experienced life and death, and now that the enemy is present, I can't wait to kill them in the dark, so that I can relieve the hatred in my heart.

Finally, the soldiers came to the river and waited for them, and within three hours, everyone saw the enemy's warship.

According to their observations, the enemy's fleet of warships was not very large, and according to previous calculations, Song Qing remembered a result.

The group of enemies in front of them was estimated to be about 40,000 people, and when they got the news, all the soldiers shouted excitedly, and there were only 40,000 people, and they were completely capable of fighting.

The enemy wanted to come by boat and attack, but they discovered it.

Now the enemy is a landing battle, and the difference in numbers between the two sides is only 10,000, so they have nothing to fear.

In ancient times, there was a cloud of the art of war, and if the battle of landing and seizing the beach was not several times the number of people, it would be difficult to have a chance of victory.

In addition to the fact that they occupied the high ground, the enemy dismounted and came uphill, and it was impossible to attack them, and the generals felt relieved for a moment that the victory was in hand.

In a short time, the enemy's ships came to the river in front of our formation, and the two sides faced each other, and a great battle was about to break out.

The soldiers of the Tang Imperial Kingdom had already made all the preparations, and they were eager to try one by one, and the aura of slaughter permeated the whole army, and everyone quietly waited for the coming of the big war.

But who knew that the fleet of the southern peak country actually stopped on the lake, and there was no movement for a long time, and the two armies looked at each other across the river, and they were helpless.

As soon as the fleet of the Southern Peak Kingdom stopped, it stopped for two days, and these two days were torment for the people of the Tang Imperial Kingdom, why did the enemy stop on the lake?

Didn't they find them?

No way!

If you don't find out, how can you just stop in front of them?

Could it be that they are waiting for something?

All kinds of speculations sounded in the minds of the generals and soldiers, and gradually their military hearts began to waver a little.

Song Qingji was afraid that the enemy would deceive, so as early as two days ago, he sent someone out to check the situation within a radius of fifty miles, and did not find any movement, so Song Qingji breathed a sigh of relief.

But the people he sent out the next day did not come back at noon, and Song Qingji suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

At this time, the originally quiet Nanfeng National Fleet on the lake in front of it suddenly began to move, and there were enemy ships that wanted to dock.

Cao Yan had been waiting impatiently, and he found that only a small number of enemy ships had landed.

So he ordered Zhu Deputy Shu and the two generals of Hainan to lead 5,000 men each down the mountain and guard the left and right roads.

When the enemy disembarked from the boat and attacked the shore, the two armies waited for the opportunity to move, and when the time came, the three sides would be surrounded and encircled, and the enemy would definitely be annihilated in one fell swoop.

Hainan did not want to carry out this order, but the military order had to be carried out.

Song Qingji was also very opposed, but Cao Yan insisted on going his own way, and he looked down on the enemy's 40,000 people at all.

The enemy only had a small fleet rushing towards the shore, which Hainan and Zhu had already discovered, and it was estimated that it was also the enemy's vanguard who came up to take the lead to understand the situation.

When Zhu Deputy Shu and the two generals of Hainan led everyone to the river, they hid in the woods on the left and right.

When this small group of enemies disembarks, they will be annihilated in one fell swoop, and they will be caught off guard in order to extinguish their prestige.

More than a dozen warships approached the shore one after another, and strangely they did not choose to land.

The dozen or so warships suddenly split into two groups, one up and one down.

Hainan is very unhappy, what is the enemy going to do!

Why did the enemy come to the place where they were hiding?

Song Qingji saw that the enemy's soldiers were divided into two routes, and he instantly understood the enemy's intentions, and he immediately sent people down the mountain to inform Zhu Vice Secretary and the two generals of Hainan, but it was still too late.

The enemy's ships were advancing so fast that in less than a quarter of an hour they came across the woods where they were hiding in Hainan.

After a brief silence, I saw a dense fire rising from the enemy's warship, and then I saw rockets flying down like a torrential rain.

"What! How did they know we were in the woods! ”

Hainan was shocked, and Zhu Deputy Shu on the top also faced the same situation.

This sudden change made everyone panic, and for a while, 5,000 people screamed under this rain of arrows, killing and wounding countless people.

The fire spread rapidly through the woods, and in a moment the woods turned into a sea of fire.

Hainan watched one soldier after another fall into the flames, and a heart-rending cry pierced Hainan's heart.

Hainan had no choice but to quickly order the army to retreat, and in a hurry, they scattered and evacuated.

When they withdrew, they found that they had lost thousands of people.

Hainan was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and Song Qingji scolded Cao Yan for being stupid.

This wave of enemy operations was undoubtedly very successful, but strangely they did not take advantage of the victory to pursue.

They didn't even go ashore, they just docked the boat by the river and never moved again.

In the first battle, the sneak attack of the Tang Imperial Kingdom failed, and the loss of troops was regarded as a loss.

Zhu and Hainan finally withdrew, and as soon as they came back, they came to Cao Yan.

Hainan was furious, he never expected that this Cao Yan would be a complete mediocre talent.

"Cao Yan! Are you trying to send us to death? ”

Hainan yelled angrily.

Cao Yan sat quietly on the ground and did not speak, it seemed that he should have been scolded by Song Qingji and several other generals for being autistic.

Song Qingji walked up and held down Hainan.

"I'm also responsible for this! It's all to blame for not stopping it in time, but now is not the time to talk about this, we are not yet clear about the enemy's actions, but the enemy seems to know us well, and we must not fight among ourselves, otherwise we will fall for the enemy's tricks again. ”

"I'm really not worth it for the dead soldiers! Alas! ”

Hainan looked up to the sky and sighed, chuckled, and walked away with a lonely expression.

Li Mo secretly rejoiced on the side, fortunately he didn't take someone out by himself.

The defeat in the first battle greatly hit the morale of the soldiers, and now the indomitable momentum of the soldiers has been lost by half.

Now the two armies were at a stalemate with each other, until finally our newest spies came back to report.

It is said that a large army of the enemy was found in the Gobi, and the number of people was about 40,000, and the generals all closed their eyes and pondered when they heard the news, and lamented in their hearts.

Suddenly, Li Mo said with a hideous face:

"This damn Meng Jue, he should have killed him with a sword in the first place, and now we have no room at all, it's over! No one can save us this time! Dead! ”

Cao Yan saw Li Mo talking nonsense and scolded:

"Li Mo, what are you crazy about, it's not the last moment yet, we haven't lost yet, even if we die, we will tear a piece of his flesh off, this is the duty of our soldiers."

Li Mo sneered:

"You still have the face to talk to me about what duties! If it weren't for your insistence, would we have lost so many people just now? Now that you talk to me about your duties, it is estimated that the Tang Imperial Kingdom has long forgotten about us, if it weren't for their teleportation problems, how could we end up like this! Now what responsibilities are there to talk about! ”

"You!" Cao Yan suddenly had nothing to say.

Song Qingji was also angry, when did this happen, these two people are still arguing here.

Song Qingji slammed the matching sword in his hand to the ground and roared angrily:

"What a noise! Now is not the time to quarrel about this, today none of us has a way out, only a war! ”

Everyone was also shocked when they saw this scene, and Song Qingji, who was usually calm and easy-going, was actually furious.

After hearing Song Qingji's words, everyone secretly decided that they could only die, but at this time, Li Mo showed a sinister smile.
