Devil’s Advent

In the line of the Yupan City Jiangyu, after receiving the report from the upstream Deng Jiuru that he had crossed the river, in order to echo and cooperate with the upstream left army, under the order of the eldest prince, Li Bao's headquarters began to attack more violently. Attack the other side.

Teams of soldiers from the Zhenbei Army rushed towards the opposite bank in boats. Arrows from both sides rained like rain. On the river, capsized boats and floating corpses could be seen everywhere.

Tianzhu is Tianzhu. In front of the great river, the iron cavalry of the Yan people lost their sharpness in the past, even the Zhenbei Army was no exception, so it is no wonder that Qianguo paid a huge price to manually dig out a scorpion from Qianjiang. River to protect their capital.

However, the Zhenbei Army is still the best in the world. Even without horses, its morale and bravery can definitely be called the fierce soldiers of the world.

Several times, the Zhenbei Army has successfully broken through to the opposite bank, and then quickly tried to form an formation to cover the arrival of the follow-up troops.

It's just that the previous few 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.

This is like a siege, one wave after another, seeking to break through by capturing points.

However, when several Yan troops who smuggled across the bank a few days ago suddenly rushed out from the other side of the opposite bank under the order of the eldest prince, they successfully disrupted the rebel army's position on the other side.

Finally, a team of more than 500 people successfully landed through the ferry and stabilized their position. Immediately, the follow-up Zhenbei Army began to continue transportation.

On the other hand, the rebellious side finally lost control of their morale, and they could no longer organize death-defying soldiers to drive out the Yan people on the shore as before.

First, it was the Yan cavalry who suddenly appeared on their side that brought them great psychological pressure, and second, the rebel army was still dominated by mobs from all walks of life, and there were only a small number of real elites.

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

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

Your Highness, it looks like it's not just the left army, we're going to break through here too!

After seeing another group of ships transporting 800 soldiers, Li Bao finally couldn't bear the excitement in his heart, walked to the First Prince and said.

Born in the north, he fought and killed men in the desert. In this life, it was the first water fight for his mother.

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

Moreover, to a certain extent, capturing the other bank is tantamount to successfully crossing the river, and if successfully crossing the river, then Yupan City is at your fingertips.

The reason is very simple. It is not far from Yupan City. The rebels, that is, Situ Yi's small imperial court supported by wild men, will definitely line up the army on the shore for defense, and they will not foolishly release their soldiers and horses. On the city wall, wait for the Yan people to cross the river and then 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 belongs to Yan, and he must be invincible!

The eldest prince took a deep breath. After all, he was young, and at this moment, he was inevitably a little excited.

The main force of the left army should have already crossed the river. If his side also breaks through, Wangjiang will be completely torn apart.

After capturing Yupan City, and then going all the way to the easternmost part of Chengguo, the terrain is basically flat, and Ji Wujiang can deal with the savages more calmly whether they are fighting or retreating.

Dayan's army is still the most majestic on the horse, and it is more handy to use.

Most importantly, without the support of Situ Yi, the puppet court, the savages, the guest army, would also lose all support on this land.

However, at this moment, messenger soldiers rushed over:

Report!!!!!!!!! Chu warships appeared upstream, blocking the river!

What!

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

Chu people, why did Chu people appear here!

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

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

Report!!!!!!! The camp of the left army is in a fierce battle!

Straight mother thief, what is this called? No wonder I didn't see any savages here. It turns out that the main force is upstream!

Li Bao cursed loudly, his chest rose and fell.

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

Li Bao is a veteran general in the army. His experience in leading troops in combat is much richer than that of Deng Jiuru, who is older than him. Fighting, even when you sleep at night, you are used to holding the handle of the knife in your hand.

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

When he went south to conquer the country, Li Fusheng, as the leader of an army, dared to throw himself into the camp to make trouble, because even without his command, the troops under his command knew how to cooperate in the battle.

But what is the Left Army?

There are many army leaders, that family's chief soldier, this family's general, this family and that family are in-laws, and that family and this family are feuds. If the eldest prince had not rectified the left army after entering Yingdu, they would not even be able to supply food and grass. The distribution can fight!

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

The most important thing is that the Chu people's navy cut off the river, and the main force of the left army who crossed the river had no way to withdraw, and the follow-up reinforcements could no longer go for reinforcements.

The Left Route Army has become a lone army!

Your Highness?

Li Bao looked at the First Prince.

At this juncture, the eldest prince still has to make a decision.

It wasn't that Li Bao put the matter on purpose to the eldest prince, or that Li Bao was afraid of taking responsibility, but now it seems that they are disturbing Wangjiang, who sings in various operas,

For the current Yan Jun,

There are only two paths to speak of.

one,

At this point, Mingjin withdraws troops.

The left army, it depends on the fortune of the left army, it depends on the fortune of Deng Jiuru.

Because the Yan army has never had a large-scale conflict with the savages since they entered Chengguo, and the savages have been avoiding battles in the early stage, obviously preserving their strength. , can go out from time to time to fight savages and bully others, and his own Jingnan Marquis can command only 30,000 cavalry to cross the snowfield, which undoubtedly makes Li Bao and other generals somewhat underestimate the combat effectiveness of savages.

On Deng Jiuru's side, as long as he defends well, he should be able to defend, right?

After all, it's Dayan's army, it's impossible to be overwhelmed by the savages all at once, right?

The second option,

That is to continue to attack here, regardless of whether the **** Chu navy is here or not, come or not, break through here, take Yupan City, and the battle will be reversed immediately.

Even, to put it bluntly, when both sides of the river are under the control of the Yan army, the Chu navy doesn't care when you sneak up to the upper reaches, as long as it is still in love with the battle and doesn't hurry up, then those boats will be named sooner or later. Ji!

In fact, there was another reason that Li Bao couldn't say.

That is the reason why His Majesty let the First Prince coordinate the battles of the various army leaders in the territory. The meaning of this is to integrate these army leaders and their soldiers and horses, which is very clear.

Even, if you try to speculate again, it is really impossible, and it is possible to consume them...

The First Prince fixed his eyes and looked at Li Bao.

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

The eldest prince immediately said to the messenger soldier beside him:

Detect the movement of Chu's navy!

Obey!

Immediately, the First Prince drew out his saber and growled lowly:

I, Ji Wujiang, as the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Expedition Army, will never do anything like that pair of robes will die!

Hearing this, Li Bao lowered his head and saluted with one fist, he understood.

Li Bao!

The end is here!

Transfer Gu's personal battalion up directly. Gu has to board the ship himself and take down the opposite bank. Our army has not lost yet. As long as we take down the opposite bank and Yupan City, this situation is still under our army's control!

Hearing this, Li Bao immediately said:

Your Highness, it's too reckless. The last general would like to go there personally, and invites His Highness to sit in the army. You are the commander in chief of the army, so there must be no mistakes!

I have made up my mind. No need to say anything. You and I know that there is a Chu State navy across the river. If you can't take the other bank this time, wait for the Chu State navy to go down the river again to isolate this place. It will be impossible for us to take down Yupan City.

Left Route Army, must be saved!

He, Deng Jiuru, doesn't care whether he can hold it or not, even if he holds it, if our army can't cross the river to meet him, the left army won't be able to hold on for too long!

Holding the knife, the eldest prince cut off the cloak on his body, and roared:

Guard camp, board the ship with the orphan!

I will obey!

I will obey!

Surrounded by a group of personal guards, the eldest prince came to the bank and boarded the boat, rowed the oars himself, and started to cross the river.

Li Bao said hehe twice, and he didn't stop Ji Wujiang's behavior. To put it bluntly, the lives of Ji's family have become a little more valuable in recent years.

Back then, the Ji family was not only a prince, but an emperor, and if they died in battle, they would die in battle. Who would say that?

As a military commander, Li Bao said that the eldest prince should not take risks, but his heart was actually quite agitated.

As a member of the Zhenbei Army, when the Zhenbeihou and His Majesty were acting, these subordinates 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 princess decided to marry the prince, their thoughts did not go away.

It's just that as the Zhenbei Hou took the initiative to cut the Zhenbei Army, everyone knew that Hou Ye didn't want to rebel and sit in the world at all, so everyone settled down.

Now,

look again,

OK,

The man of the Ji family still has passion, so it doesn't make people feel so disappointed.

With that in mind,

Li Bao immediately shouted:

Stuck in the camp, board the ship with the general!

General, the great majesty has gone down, and you have gone too, what should we do here?

Li Bao's general Sui Yuanyi immediately dissuaded him.

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

You can decide for yourself, if Yupan City can't be taken down, there is no need to fight this battle at all!

Chu people's navy Hengjiang, after the emergence of this navy, the difficulty of crossing the river for the Yan army will increase exponentially in the future, because it is impossible for the Yan army to conjure up a navy in a short period of time.

At the same time, the Yan army will likely lose the left army.

This will directly affect and change the strategic situation of the entire Cheng Kingdom war situation. No matter how bad the left army is, it is still a regular army of Yan State. Battle, what else do you want to do?

Stuck in the camp, board the ship!

At this moment, the second ferry boat had arrived, and under Li Bao's order, soldiers from the trapped camp began to board the boat.

The six towns of Zhenbei Army, 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 will take the lead and act as the arrow of the whole army.

Right now, Li Bao can be said to be on the verge of breaking the boat.

If the other side can't be breached, and the Yupan City can't be taken down, everyone is waiting to plead guilty to His Majesty together!

there,

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

When the eldest prince came up, the Yan army on the shore not only had a wave of robes to supplement, but also boosted their morale. On the contrary, the morale of the Cheng Guo rebels above them was instantly sluggish to the extreme.

In fact, as the leader of an army, bright armor is also very useful. The leader is the courage and soul of an army. To use an inappropriate analogy, when people fight on the battlefield, their emotions will fluctuate greatly , and when people are hesitant and confused, after seeing the figure of the general, there will really be a feeling of a wanderer seeing his own parents.

Therefore, in ancient and modern Chinese and foreign cold weapon wars, it is almost a customary rule for the general to wear special and bright armor.

Back then when the Marquis of Jingnan led his army to conquer the snowfields, he didn't need to speak at all, and he used himself as an arrow to charge forward, which added to the morale of the knights under his command, which was extremely terrifying.

Of course, for the sake of the safety of the demon kings, Zheng Fan of Shengle City had to give up the privilege of showing off with great regret.

The Cheng Guo rebels on the shore also saw the Eldest Prince's figure, which was really invisible, because whether it was the Eldest Prince himself or his own barracks, the armor on them was already too bright.

The other party's general, the legendary Prince Yan who led the army, has already landed in person, and there is no sign of His Majesty the Emperor on his side. I am really afraid of comparison in everything.

Yan Jun listens to the order!

The eldest prince raised his long knife and roared loudly.

A hundred steps forward!

With the supplement of the personal guard battalion, Yan Jun began to rush forward with all his strength, and forced to push back in an almost arrogant and unreasonable way!

The Chengguo rebels on the shore are still resisting, but this resistance has gradually weakened. They are more numerous than the Yan army who landed, but their morale is already incomparable.

As they advanced along the way, deserters began to appear in Chengguo's rebel army.

This phenomenon is contagious, and for a while, more and more collapses begin.

If reinforcements arrive from the rebel army at this time, maybe the situation can be stabilized again, but it is obvious that there are no soldiers and horses to reinforce Yupan City.

The eldest prince knew in his heart that since the main force of the savages was upstream, there must be emptiness here. As long as he survives, fights, and kills, he will eventually be able to tear apart this line of defense!

Originally, perhaps he was still concerned about the cost of casualties, and wanted to nibble away at Shi Wangjiang in the safest and least costly way, but now, he had to fight to the death.

Fortunately,

It's done.

After a fight,

The First Prince reached out his hand to pull out the arrow that had shot through the gap between his shoulder armor, and at the same time he reached out to wipe his blood-stained face.

at this time,

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

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

Li Bao held a knife in one arm, and he was on the verge of killing, but he still remembered the business, and hurried to the eldest prince.

Your Highness, are you okay?

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

Keep moving forward and take down Yupan City!

The defense line on the shore has been breached. At this time, it is necessary to take Yupan City in one go, instead of waiting for the follow-up troops to cross the river, because if you don't take Yupan City as a stronghold at this time, the navy of Chu may be defeated later. It will continue to come down here and cut off the river here.

With the support of Yupan City, it can respond to the left army in the upper reaches, and the Chu State Navy can no longer continue to cut off the river unscrupulously. Even, the eldest prince even dared to use the left army as a point to go to the opposite direction. Savage dumplings!

As the prince of the Yan Kingdom, this courage is still not lacking!

Assemble the soldiers and horses, do not chase after the defeated troops, and follow the commander to take Yupan City directly!

………

On the small river leading to Yupan City, the flower boat was still floating there. However, along with the rebel soldiers who fled from the shore on both sides of the surrounding roads, Xiaosi finally appeared on the flower boat and began to paddle , Move closer to Yupan City.

On the flower boat, the Eighth Prince of Chu had a urination just once.

The sword maker sighed and said:

Yan people are indeed fierce.

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

However, this time, I saw it with my own eyes.

The Eighth Prince nodded and said:

Yeah, that's why the fourth brother decided to join forces with the savages. Otherwise, if he waited for the Yan people to annex all the lands of the Three Jins, he would look north and south completely, and if he was condescending, the Yan people would just attack the country if they wanted to fight it. If you want to attack Chu, attack Chu;

Relying on the sharpness of the iron cavalry of the Yan people, and supplemented by the knights of the Three Jins, I, Da Chu, only have the power to parry but not the ability to fight back.

I understand the truth. After this time, the friendship between Yu Huaping and me has completely come to an end, alas.

Everyone knows

The Sword Master of Jin State and the Sword Maker of Chu State are best friends.

The sword maker of Chu State created a Dragon Yuan for the Sword Master,

The Juggernaut is even more flattered, lifting the swordmaker to the throne of the Four Great Swordsmen.

It's also strange. Daxia has been dead for 800 years. What is his sword master's brain made of? He still thinks that he is a survivor of Daxia instead of Jin.

If you hold a sword in this life, you must hold it. I think that if you have a choice, the Fourth Highness doesn't want to join hands with the savage.

What are savages? They're nothing more than a pack of wild dogs. When this wave of Yan people gets stuck in the Wangwang River, this time will be won for me, Da Chu, and my fourth brother. In the future, this entire country will eventually belong to me. Chu.

That savage king is not ordinary, if possible, I really want to kill him while he is still on the boat.

If the people of Yan were tigers, then the savages might be wolves in the future, so don't be careless, Your Highness.

I understand the truth. After this battle, I will definitely talk to my fourth brother about this savage king.

I can rest assured that.

talking,

The swordmaker shouted to the oars:

Hurry up, don't you see that the Yan people are chasing after you!

Master, you seem to be very scared? His Highness the Eighth Prince asked curiously, Could it be that Master really knows no martial arts as the legend says?

A sword in a sheath is the scariest sword in the world.

don't know.

Because you can bluff people.

Oh, I understand a little bit.

Now it doesn't matter whether you understand it or not.

Um?

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

………

Thousands of Yan troops, led by the eldest prince and Li Bao, directly chased the rout and rushed to Yupan City.

With this wave going on, taking advantage of the trend to seize the city is almost a certainty!

These Yan troops were already exhausted, but their will was still firm. They crossed the river and fought in a hurry, and couldn't wait for the horses to be transported, so they were basically infantry at this time. What they wanted was to take down the city in one wave!

However,

Just when I saw the city wall of Yupan City,

The gate of Yupan City suddenly opened, and from inside the gate, a group of soldiers in blue armor began to come out in an orderly formation, as if there was an endless stream.

Axe soldiers, spearmen, crossbowmen, and heavy armored soldiers lined up one after another. After leaving the city, they directly formed their own army formation.

Their flag is blue, with a phoenix embroidered on it. The color of the armor and the flag show their identities, the Qingluan Army of the Great Chu, the elite fighters mastered by the Qu family of the Chu State.

At this time,

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

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