The Chronicles of Longevity on Liaozhai Road

Therefore, this army will be arranged as a forward every time, opening a gap for the follow-up troops, and this time is no exception.

Soon, their troops approached the bank of the Yangtze River, and at this moment the crossbowmen on the opposite side finally started to release arrows, and the arrows, like raindrops, flew towards this side.

Liu Yue hurriedly ordered the soldiers under his command to raise their shields, and then trotted, hoping to quickly approach the opponent.

But before they got close to the shore, rows of spearmen appeared in front of them. These spearmen raised their spears and formed a wall of spear points.

But the crossbowmen behind still didn't stop firing arrows, and the raindrops of arrows kept giving reinforcements to the spearmen in front.

Faced with such a predicament, Liu Yue did not back down. He was the first soldier, holding his long spear, and was the first to crash into the spearmen's camp.

In this way, a war to determine the fate of both parties began.

Liu Yue originally thought that this time he would face a tough battle, because the opponent was ready for battle, and the formation was very neat. If his men wanted to open the gap, they would probably lose a lot.

But when he fought, he found that his guess was wrong.

Although these southern soldiers said that they had formed a strict formation, the soldiers seemed to have no strength. With just a casual swing of the spear in his hand, he could push seven or eight spears away.

And the soldiers under his command held their shields, as long as they bumped forward, the opponent's spears would come out.

At the beginning, he didn't understand what happened, but after thinking about it, he understood.

Because the soldiers on the opposite side were all wearing single clothes, and they were fighting in the freezing weather, I am afraid they were too cold to fight.

In fact, Liu Yue didn't know that these people had been standing on the river for almost midnight, and they hadn't eaten breakfast yet. Coupled with the cold weather, it was strange that these people had the strength to fight.

Therefore, the tens of thousands of horses under Liu Yue's command seemed to be like tigers entering the herd this time. Just a charge beat the spearman in front of him like a mouse fleeing.

Li Qi, who was supervising the battle at the rear of the Southern Allied Forces, screamed angrily when he saw this situation.

Although the soldiers under his command did not wear winter clothes and were frozen for half the night, Yang Heng's troops on the opposite side were not without disadvantages.

They are on the ice, and their foundations are not stable. Under normal circumstances, they are at an absolute disadvantage.

But the current situation is that the soldiers under his command did not stop the opponent at all, allowing the opponent to come to the shore easily.

But now Li Qi is determined to fight Yang Heng on the river.

Therefore, after the striker was unable to resist Yang Heng, he immediately dispatched follow-up troops and began to rush forward frantically. This was to block Yang Heng's army back to the river.

At this time, Yang Heng's follow-up troops also arrived. With the addition of these fresh troops, the Southern Allied Forces could no longer hold back.

However, Li Qi in the rear, facing the already defeated Southern Allied Forces, didn't want to think about how to reorganize the troops, but instead urged the army to move forward.

The result of this was to send more people to die, and as the number of casualties increased sharply, their morale began to decline rapidly.

On the surface Li Qi was very anxious, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

And like a person in a black robe next to him, he quietly took a look.

The man nodded slightly to Li Qi, and the smile on Li Qi's face was even more unstoppable.

The war was still going on, and finally all the troops on Yang Heng's side had landed. With these victorious troops landed, the battle began, leaning towards Yang Heng's side.

The coalition forces on the opposite side finally began to collapse, and countless soldiers fled back regardless.

And Li Qi seemed very angry, and ordered the supervising team to immediately go forward and kill the fleeing soldiers, asking them to turn around and fight Yang Heng again.

But now those soldiers have been frightened by Yang Heng, how dare they turn back?

Coupled with the large number of people, they dared to fight with the supervising team. In the end, facing the fierce crowd, the Du team had no choice but to retreat to the side and let these people escape.

But Li Qi sighed at the army that was no longer under control, and then said to the generals on the left and right.

"The matter has come to this point, and there is no way to recover it. You should run for your lives."

Chapter 670

Among the generals under Li Qi, there are still one or two loyal ones.

One of the generals in his 30s saw that Li Qi was going to dismiss the crowd, thinking that Li Qi had already given up his will to die.

So he hurried forward to persuade.

"The victory or defeat of a general is a common matter in military affairs. I saw that although our army was defeated, not many people died. Why don't we retreat dozens of miles, gather the army and fight Yang Heng again."

Li Qi's eyes flickered with displeasure when he heard this, but he quickly covered it up.

He let out a long sigh, and then said to the people below: "The weather is changing now, and our soldiers don't have cold clothes. Even if we retreat dozens of miles and fight Yang Heng again, I'm afraid they won't be opponents. Besides, how could Yang Heng on the opposite side be like that?" Let us escape safely?"

They were talking, when suddenly there was a burst of thunder in the distance, and the faces of these generals suddenly changed.

Because these people have been battle-tested for a long time, it is judged by this voice that there is a large group of cavalry rushing here.

At this time, everyone really panicked, and all looked at Li Qi together.

Li Qi waved his hands with a sullen face, and said to them: "Don't worry about me, you run for your lives."

When these people saw the situation, they stopped trying to persuade them, so they urged their horses and fled to the rear.

After these people were gone, Li Qi turned around the pier and went straight to a tent.

After arriving here, he ordered his own soldiers to wait outside the tent, and he entered the tent by himself.

Those soldiers all thought that their commander saw the defeat and wanted to commit suicide in order to show the king's kindness.

In order to keep their reputation as a great commander, these people stood outside the tent and waited closely, fearing that someone would break in.

As time passed, Yang Heng's army finally reached their camp.

After arriving here, the soldiers under Yang Heng's command saw the chaos in the camp, and many enemy troops were scrambling for things.

How could this be possible, these things belonged to their emperor, how could they let these enemy troops snatch them away, so these people swarmed up and killed those enemy troops who robbed them.

At this time, Yang Heng's Luanjia also came ashore, and then, on a small hill, he built an awning with his hands and looked down.

I saw that the army under my command was divided into several willows and began to chase the fleeing enemy troops, and several groups of people in the camp began to surround the camp to suppress the rebellion.

Yang Heng nodded in satisfaction. This time the march went too smoothly. At first he thought it was a hard battle, but he didn't expect the opponent to be defeated by one blow.

When it was evening, all the armies returned to the shore one after another.

The generals under him were all smiling, because the fruits of this battle were too great, and each of these generals had tens of thousands of prisoners under their command.

According to Yang Heng's regulations, these captives will not be released back, they will be degraded as slaves, and distributed to their generals and meritorious soldiers to farm for them.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Heng's army will not kill surrendered soldiers indiscriminately, because these are all their property.

After a while, Yang Heng received Xue Feng's report that the enemy's camp had been wiped out, and Yang Heng was asked to rest in the camp.

Yang Heng was indeed tired. He commanded the army to fight in this cold weather for a day, and the wind blew on this hill for a long time. For Yang Heng, who is now delicate and expensive, it is really unbearable.

So he hurried into the camp with his own soldiers, took a hot bath in the warm tent, and then summoned the generals to count the results of the battle.

With such statistics, Yang Heng was even more overjoyed.

In this battle, they lost no more than 3000 people, which is almost the same as defeating the enemy without casualties in modern times.

What's more, Yang Heng and the others seized a large amount of grain hoarded by Li Qi's army, which was enough for Yang Heng's army to feed for half a year.

This is a very big addition to Yang Heng's supply line.

Because as the battle line stretches, it will become more and more difficult for Yang Heng to supply supplies. With these grains and grasses, it is enough for Yang Heng to support another year of war.

Yang Heng believes that this year is enough for him to pacify Jiangnan.

Just when Yang Heng and the generals were in high spirits, General Guo Yun walked in.

This general was originally under the command of another army leader under Yang Heng - Han Ming.

But later this Han Ming followed Yang Heng's great apprentice Shou Ming and betrayed Yang Heng, so the people of his faction became very low-key now under Yang Heng's command.

And this Guo Yun is even more low-key among them. Although he took the lead in every battle, regardless of dangers, but when it came time to share the merits, he stood at the end and remained silent.

But Yang Heng was very cautious about this person. Although he had military exploits, Yang Heng seldom promoted him.

This is because Yang Heng saw Sima Yi's forbearance from him.

Just relying on this person's forbearance, he can naturally suppress Yang Heng when he is around, but after Yang Heng becomes an immortal, without Yang Heng's suppression, maybe he will turn the world upside down.

Therefore, Yang Heng never asked him the credit for many times.

This time, Yang Heng left the task of chasing the enemy to the other generals during the war, and only asked Guo Yun to organize the enemy's camp, so as to prepare for the subsequent return of the army to rest.

Guo Yun came to the big tent, bowed his hands to Yang Heng and said.

"Commander, we found Li Qi's personal soldiers outside of a remote tent far away from the camp."

Yang Heng couldn't stop the smile on his face when he heard this.

It seems that Li Qi, the commander in chief of the enemy army, was also captured by him, which was considered perfect.

But before his smile could fully show on his face, Guo Yun gave him another scoop of cold water.

"Commander, we know from Li Qi's personal soldiers that their commander committed suicide in the tent, but when we entered the tent, we found that there was no one there."

Yang Heng frowned, what's going on?Could it be that Li Qi can still fly?

"Are those soldiers lying? After all, Li Qi is their coach, so it is understandable for them to excuse their master."

"To the Supreme Emperor, I have sent my torturers to question them carefully. These people are all unanimous, and they should not be lying."

Yang Heng frowned.

Could it be that Li Qi is also a master of cultivation, able to escape from the battlefield of the Great War without anyone noticing?

Just when Yang Heng was puzzled, a soldier from outside came in to report.

"Report to the Supreme Emperor, Fairy Qinglian is asking to see you outside."

"Quickly ask the fairy to sit inside."

The soldier hurried out to convey Yang Heng's order.

Fairy Qinglian quickly entered the big tent, she first looked at the generals who were still discussing enthusiastically in the big tent, smiled at the corner of her mouth, and then took a look like Yang Heng.

"Fairy, you are late today."

Yang Heng laughed a little, and hurriedly ordered someone to set up a seat for Fairy Qinglian beside him.

After the Fairy Qinglian sat down firmly, she said softly: "The poor Taoist came here to congratulate His Majesty on defeating the enemy army. From then on, Jiangnan will be flat."

"Hahaha, the fairy is too famous, this battle is fought desperately by the soldiers under him."

Fairy Qinglian nodded, and then said: "It is true that all the officers and soldiers have contributed a lot to fighting on the battlefield."

Then she changed the subject and said: "However, there is another person who has made more contributions, but His Majesty doesn't know about it."

Yang Heng was taken aback after hearing this, what's going on?In his own army, rewards and punishments have always been clearly defined. Could it be that the important generals under his command dare to deny the credit of his subordinates?

After thinking of this, Yang Heng looked at the generals below, and these people were shocked by Yang Heng's look.

They hurried out of work together and clasped their hands upward.

"Your Majesty, we will never dare to do something that violates military law and chills the hearts of our brothers."

Yang Heng nodded and waved his hands down, and these generals dared to stand back in the squad again.

But these people don't dare to whisper in the bottom like just now, they all lowered their heads and remained silent.

"Fairy, I don't know who you are talking about?"

Fairy Qinglian smiled slightly, and then said: "This person is not someone else, but Li Qi, the commander of the coalition army."

Yang Heng frowned upon hearing this, and displeasure appeared on his face.

"Why did the fairy say this?"

"Your Majesty, don't you find it strange? This time the battlefield went so smoothly, the opponent was almost defeated in one blow, and all the food and grass in the camp were not burned, and they were left safely to Your Majesty."

After hearing this, Yang Heng nodded silently. This time the battle went too smoothly.

"Your Majesty, all this is Li Qi's letter of surrender to His Majesty."

Yang Heng sat there and pondered for a moment.

If it is really what Fairy Qinglian said, then everything that happened today can be explained.

From the mouths of the enemy's prisoners, it is known that the other party stood on the shore almost all night in the cold weather, and he didn't eat in the morning, and he didn't have winter clothes on him.

If such an army still has combat effectiveness, it is really a ghost.

But Li Qi is also a veteran of the Jiujing battlefield, how could he make such a big mistake.

Thinking about it now, Li Qi must have been persuaded by that master of comprehension, that's why he abandoned the dark and turned to the bright.
