Chapter 184: The Battle of the Minhe River

Chapter 184

This rain lasted far longer than anyone else's.

The heavy rain was intermittent, but the light rain was continuous.

If this were not the case, the two kingdoms of Chu and Tang would inevitably suffer from floods.

This heavy rain is like a haze pressing on everyone's hearts, and it has not been dispersed for a long time.

"Is there any news from Qin Yuan?" Li Yue asked Gongsun Qi on the side.

Gongsun Qi shook his head, "So far, there is no news for the time being, hasn't the Chu army noticed that river yet?" ”

"Maybe." Li Yue looked out of the city and could see that she seemed to be a little nervous.

Gongsun Qi also saw Miao Duan and asked carefully: "Your Highness, do you want to serve as the chief general yourself?" ”

Li Yue shook his head, "I know that my ability is not enough to be the commander of the whole army, so you should come, he told me before he left." ”

Gongsun Qi sighed, "My lord is really, as the main general, but he always takes such an adventure in person." ”

At this time, Qin Yu was no longer in the city, and he had already left with the 10,000 elite horsemen.

"Boom, boom, boom······"

Suddenly, the drums of war sounded again.

I saw that the Chu army in the distance had begun to assemble, and it looked like it was about to attack the city again.

"This Chu army really has perseverance, the rain is a little lighter, and it will attack the city again." After Pei Ren sighed, he began to command loudly.

Although the current commander of the whole army has been replaced by Gongsun Qi, the command of the city has not been taken back from Pei Ren.

Li Yue glanced at the land under the city, the land under the city had become very muddy after the great war and the washing of the rain.

In this case, the Chu army's large-scale siege of the city was obviously very disadvantageous.

Of course, it is not excluded that the main general of the Chu army is more paranoid, that is, he insists on attacking the city.

The Chu army quickly launched an offensive, but this time the offensive was not as fierce as the last one.

The catapult only threw five or six rounds, and then the siege began, and the siege army also seemed to be nearly half smaller.

Pei Ren's voice is still so loud, and his temper is still so irritable.

Pei Ren had even scolded Li Yue before, but now that he knew Li Yue's identity, he didn't dare to scold anymore this time.

Li Yue didn't rush to the front again, but returned to the rear, holding a bow and shooting arrows.

Just when the battle was scorching, a guard ran in front of Li Yue.

"Your Highness! General Qin Yuan found the figure of the Chu army on the edge of the Li River, a total of 2,000 men and horses! ”

"Sure enough! The Chu army still attacked the Minhe! Li Yue's face became solemn.

Li Yue called Gongsun Qi over and told Gongsun Qi about it.

After Gongsun Qi heard this, he began to arrange it.

Gongsun Qi had already been prepared, just waiting for news from Qin Yuan's side.

"If the Chu army is determined to make a move against the Minhe River, the Weihe River will inevitably become the second battlefield." Gongsun Qi's tone was very solemn.

Li Yue nodded and asked, "Are our troops enough?" ”

"Enough, Cangxian can still draw 20,000 horses, and 20,000 horses can be drawn here, which is enough to open up a battlefield in the Minhe River." Gongsun Qi arched his hand and reported.

"Well, you can arrange this matter." Li Yue gave the right to Gongsun Qi.

"No!"

At this time, on the edge of the Wei River, Qin Yuan led people to lie on the muddy ground, hiding in the bushes.

And not far from Qin Yuan, the Chu army was surveying the terrain.

After the Chu army has chosen a position, it will make a move against the Minhe River.

It's still raining, but it's small, and the flow in the river is much slower.

So now is the best time to block the river.

The soldier next to Qin Yuan whispered, "General, what should we do now?" Just look at it? ”

"We have too few people now, let's wait for reinforcements." Qin Yu said very calmly.

At this time, the Chu army had already begun to move.

"General Qiyu, there are three places that can block this river, but only one can lead water to Wucheng." Chu Jun reported to the generals.

Obviously, there was only one place for the generals of the Chu army to consider, so the generals of the Chu army directly gave an order.

Two thousand men and horses sprang into action, loading the earth and stones into sacks and throwing them into the river.

Although the current in the river is not very turbulent, it is still not something that can be blocked by such a little earth and rock.

Most of the earth and stones thrown down by the Chu army were washed away in an instant.

There were even some sacks that were torn by the water, and the soil and rocks inside quickly sank into the gray and yellow river.

"Stop, stop! It won't work! Go find the boulder first! The generals of the Chu army quickly noticed that something was wrong and hurriedly stopped all the soldiers.

"No!"

The Chu army is very mobile, but the boulders are obviously not something that can be carried with bare hands.

"General! Without tools, we couldn't move those boulders, and the stones that were too small were useless, so they were washed away when they were thrown into the river! ”

"General, if you can chisel down the mountain in front of you, you can block this river."

The face of the general of the Chu army was a little ugly, if this mountain was so easy to chisel down, would it be necessary to stand here?

"General, what shall we do now?"

After pondering, the general of the Chu army said: "Send someone back to the camp and tell General Qu to have some tools made and sent, hurry up!" ”

"No!"

After sending people out, the Chu army continued to fill the river, although the effect was small, but it was better than nothing.

Qin Yuan and the others had been lying there, quietly watching Chu Jun's movements.

Just then, a man crawled over.

"General, General Gongsun has sent reinforcements, a total of 5,000 men." The man whispered to Qin Yuan.

"Good! Then let these two thousand Chu troops stay here forever! Qin Yuan said and crawled back slowly.

Five thousand men and horses were already waiting a mile away, all with bows and arrows, and very well equipped.

After Qin Yuan arrived, he directly gave an order.

"Two thousand people went to the north bank of the mountain to ambush, two thousand people approached the Chu army from the south bank, try not to be discovered by the Chu army."

"There are a thousand people left in ambush on the path that the Chu army must pass through to retreat, and after the Chu army is defeated and retreated, all these people must be left behind!"

"No!"

The commanders immediately received the order and took action one after another.

After Qin Yuan arranged it, he climbed to a high slope.

Everything below can be seen here, which is extremely convenient for Qin Yuan to command the entire battlefield.

Next to Qin Yuan, there were also soldiers with fast legs and feet, responsible for conveying Qin Yuan's orders.

An hour later, a few heralds ran back, and reported to Qin Yuan that the armies had arrived at the corresponding positions.

Qin Yuan nodded and took a bow and arrow from the guards next to him.

Pulling the bow and arrow, the rain dripped on the arrow, making it even more cold.

"Whew!"

Arrows shoot out, constantly shuttling through the rain, and creating a streak of water in the air.

"Whew!"

The arrow was shot very accurately at the head of a Chu soldier who was laboriously clutching a stone the size of a human head.

"Poof!"

The soldiers of the Chu army and this stone were planted into the water together.

"Not good! There are enemy troops! Chu Jun reacted quickly, but it was obviously too late.

The Tang army on the north and south banks quickly appeared, and countless arrows shot at the Chu army.

The Chu army was in chaos, and some people were even squeezed into the river by their own people, and they were washed away and disappeared in an instant.
