Chapter 90: The Comeback

After listening to Yun Yi's analysis of the situation between the enemy and us, Flying Bird's face was very unsightly, his own army was undecided, and the enemy's tiger and wolf army was not far away when it invaded again, and the situation was not optimistic.

Seeing her worried, Yun Yi waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry too much, we now have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and there is plenty of food and grass, and the pressure is not particularly great." ”

Hearing this, Asuka Yuan nodded slightly, his face eased a lot, the previous few battles were very different between the enemy and our strength, Yun Yi was able to win, and now although his own strength is not as large as the Evil Horse Taiwan Army, the difference is not very big.

"Your robe is dirty, take it off and I'll wash it for you." Asuka Yuan diverted the topic.

Yun Yi did not refuse, changed into a clean robe, and gave the robe stained with the blood of the snake spirit to Flying Bird.

Looking at the lonely back of Asuka Yuan when he walked out of the handsome camp with his Taoist robe, Yun Yi felt a little uncomfortable, Asuka Yuan never gave up the idea of leaving him, but he never thought of staying, Asuka Yuan's efforts were in vain after all.

Seeing that the bird was leaving, Yun Yi pulled Yun Lan over again and taught it to speak Chinese.

Time flies, the weather is getting warmer day by day, and on the eighth day after the sting, the Tanmalai newspaper reported that the Yamatai army led the army south, and had crossed the border into the castle tower.

It took five or six days to walk from the castle tower to Heian Castle, and it only took two days to ride a horse, so the news of the return of the horse was heard two days ago, and it was not accurate. According to the calculation of time, it is very likely that the Yamatai army has already left the castle tower and is currently on their way to Heian Castle.

War was inevitable, but Yun Yi didn't want to rush into battle, so he could only send orders to strengthen the city fortifications to resist the invasion of the enemy.

Before that, he had fought a quick blitzkrieg, but he had never fought such an immovable guard battle, and he was inevitably a little nervous in his heart, pacing back and forth in the marshal camp every day, thinking deeply.

This is just after the shock, Yamata Yuan Lu Zhi hurriedly raised the army to attack, it can be seen that he has made all preparations, and now the enemy situation is still unclear, how should this battle be fought?

Worried for three days, and then came to explore the horse to report, the enemy army totaled 15,000 people, the soldiers were divided into two ways to the south, and Lu Zhiqin led all the way to the north of the city twenty miles away, at this time was camping, making a fire to make food. The other way, which was led by someone for some reason, was now making a detour to Mt. Kurosawa, west of Heian Castle.

Hearing this letter, Yun Yi frowned, it was not surprising that Yamata Yuan Lu Zhi set up camp in the north of the city, what he was worried about was the enemy army that was heading for Kurosawa Mountain. The enemy army should not have intended to enter Mount Kurosawa, and they would most likely have set up camp west of Heian Castle.

The reason for this judgment is that there are a lot of Chengjing outliers in Kurosawa Mountain, and the Evil Horse Tai army will not take the initiative to enter the mountain to send them to death, they may be worried that Suzhan Mingzun will rush to the aid of Heian Yama, and stationed in the west can cut off the connection between Heian City and Kurosawa Mountain, forcing Suzhan Mingzun to be unable to come to help.

Since the enemy army dared to do this, it showed that there were masters among them who could restrain Suzhan Mingzun, otherwise they would not dare to risk cutting off the communication between Mount Kurosawa and Heian Castle.

After thinking about it, Yun Yi left the camp and went to the west of the city to observe the enemy situation on the city wall. As he expected, the enemy army had stopped and encamped fifteen miles from Heian City.

The enemy on the west side accounted for 50 percent of the total number of enemy troops, more than 7,000 people, and the personnel were not concentrated, so they were divided into ten teams, separated by two and two, and formed a long line horizontally, and the ranks stretched for more than 20 miles.

Mt. Kurosawa runs north-south, stretching for hundreds of miles, and the section to the south is southwestward, and the enemy camp in this way not only blocked the connection between Mt. Kurosawa and Heian Castle, but also controlled all the open areas in the southwest, avoiding the possibility of Suzhan Mingzun detouring from the southwest to help Heian Castle.

Seeing this situation, Yun Yi felt quite helpless in his heart, he was not sure whether Su Zhan Mingzun would come to help, but now it is good, the enemy army has blocked the southwest region, and the last glimmer of hope has been shattered.

Not only that, the enemy army led by Yatsumata Yuan Lu Zhiqin was located in the north, echoing the enemy army in the southwest, forming a situation of encirclement, and directly aimed the spearhead at Heian Castle.

In addition, Yamata Yuan Lu Zhi did not disperse his forces to surround Heian Castle, indicating that it did not have the certainty of completely annihilating the Heian Army, so it left a living gate.

The intention of Lu Zhi's move is not difficult to guess, the army under the command of Yun Yi is the main force of the country, and no one can take advantage of the two sides if they fight hard, so they leave a way for the Heian army to retreat, so that the Heian army will not fight to the death, and will fight and retreat. Yamata Yuan Lu Zhi can take the opportunity to gradually encroach on the territory of Buhuguo, and when the Hean Army is finally cornered, he will destroy the Hean Army in one pot.

In addition, since Yamatata-Yuan Lu Zhi besieged the city, it showed that it knew that the effect of dispersing troops to besiege the city was not great, which also indirectly showed that it already knew that the garrison of Heian City not only had Buhu troops, but also 10,000 Molu troops borrowed from the Molu State.

When Yun Yi observed the enemy's formation, Asuka Yuan was busy deploying city defenses, and at this time, more than 10,000 Ping An troops had been assembled and prepared to meet the battle.

Yun Yi remained calm, looked at the enemy formation in the west, and then went to the north of the city to observe the enemy situation in the north.

Although there was a difference of twenty miles, Yun Yi still saw the camps in the north, and the curling smoke rising from the camps.

Flying Bird Yuan arranged the deployment of the city defense, climbed the city wall and walked to Yun Yi's side, and said: "The enemy has traveled all the way, and at this time it will inevitably be tired of cars and horses, and people and horses are tired, so it is better to send troops now and take them by surprise." ”

Yun Yi didn't say no, he had already thought of Asuka Yuan's proposal, but this plan was not feasible, because the enemy army in the north had Yamata Yuan Lu Zhi in charge, and there might be masters among the enemy troops in the west, no matter which side was sent to attack, the other side would definitely cut off the rear road of the Heian army, so that the Heian army could not take care of the head and tail.

It is also impossible to attack both sides at the same time, because there are two masters in the enemy army, and he is not skilled in one person, so it is impossible to face two masters at the same time. Although Sakurako also has aura cultivation, her cultivation is not profound, and she doesn't know any domineering spells, so she can't be expected to have the advantage of defeating the enemy army.

Seeing that he frowned and was silent, Asuka Yuan knew that this plan would not work, so he didn't ask again.

After thinking about it for a while, Yun Yi had a plan, when he attacked the Hasegawa military camp at night, he used the fact that the Japanese rattan armor was soaked in tung oil to attack with fire, and now he can also repeat the old trick, but this time it is not an active attack, but a passive defense.

"What's your plan?" Asuka Yuan saw him frown, and guessed that he was already in the chest.

"Arrange for all the archers to wrap linen soaked in tung oil around the arrows, and release rockets if the enemy attacks the city. Yun Yi replied.

Asuka Yuan nodded in agreement, and the people prepared the sackcloth. Yun Yi didn't stay long, and returned to the barracks to make the wooden talismans needed to draw talismans, with the bloody sword, it was not troublesome to make wooden talismans, and more than ten wooden talismans were soon prepared.

After the enemy army had rested, and in the evening, the enemy army in the north had moved, and the army and horses were reorganized and set out for Ping'an City.

Seeing this situation, Yun Yi raised his breath and shouted to order the officers and men of the three armies to cheer up and prepare for battle.

The Japanese will also use the ladder to climb the city, because the bow and arrow do not penetrate the rattan armor, so the number of archers in the Japanese army is usually not too much, and the number of archers in the Heian army is only 1,000, and the number of arrows is not much, and the archers alone cannot prevent the enemy from taking the ladder to the city, so Yun Yi transferred 3,000 infantry to the city wall to assist the archers.

When the enemy army advanced, Yun Yi drew two thunderbolts chasing the wind and put them in his arms, and then looked at the enemy lineup.

Previously, he was far away and could not see the distribution of the enemy army clearly, but when the enemy army approached, Yun Yi was able to see the enemy formation clearly.

The enemy's front army consisted of shield men and archers, ten rows and hundreds of columns, a total of 1,000 men. The first is a shield soldier, who holds a square wooden shield half a human height in his left hand and a short spear more than three feet long in his right hand, and the second is a shield soldier. And so it was, with shields and archers stacked on top of each other, and the defenses were extremely tight.

The middle army was fifty paces apart from the front army, and consisted of spear infantry, numbering no less than four thousand, and was the main force of the enemy. The rear army was mainly a convoy of escorting grain, grass and baggage, with a number of about 2,000. The commander of the enemy army was in the rear at this time.

Seeing this situation, Yun Yi's heart tightened, since Lu Zhi had drawn the camp to attack, it showed that he had the intention of breaking through Ping'an City in one fell swoop. Moreover, the formation of the other side is also very strange, the front army seems to be specifically aimed at the Heian Army's archers, whose arrows are wrapped in sackcloth, and it is obvious that they are also planning to attack with fire.

The strategy of attacking with fire was formulated at noon, and Yatsumata Yuan Lu Zhi must have no way of knowing, and the reason why it was so arranged should be that he had heard that he had used fire to attack Hasegawa at night, so he was worried that he would also attack with fire this time.

As soon as the enemy's front army came within range of their archers, their archers immediately lit torches scattered all over the city walls, ready to fire arrows to attack the enemy.

The enemy's front army also stopped at this time, the whole army squatted, the shield soldier raised the wooden card to protect the archers behind him, the archers took out the flint and ignited the arrows, and then opened their bows and arrows, aiming at the top of the city wall.

"Everyone hid under the wall. Yun Yi ordered in a loud voice.

The reason why there is no order for the archers to release arrows is because the enemy shield soldiers will block a large number of arrows, not to mention that the wooden shield is not easy to burn, and even if it burns easily, the shield soldier can abandon the wooden shield, so the bow and arrow will not cause substantial damage to the enemy.

At his command, the Heian army immediately crouched behind the wall, and at the same time, the enemy archers opened their bows and fired arrows, and rockets swarmed and roared in the sky. Most of the arrows were blocked by the city walls, and the rockets that fell on the walls did not hit the Heian army, causing no fire.

After shooting a rain of arrows, the enemy advanced again, Yun Yi knew the enemy's intentions, but he didn't dare to order the archers to release the arrows, so he could only wait for the enemy Chinese army to approach, ready to shoot the arrows.

After waiting for a while, the enemy's Chinese army approached, Yun Yi ordered the archers to release the arrows, and the archers ignited the linen cloth on the arrows, and then opened their bows and arrows, aiming at the enemy's Chinese army. As soon as the archers released their arrows, the enemy's front army also reacted and fired arrows at the Heian army on the battlements of the city wall.
