Chapter 235: Yishui River (Part I)

You Yong suddenly began to retreat without hesitation.

When the two armies face each other, such a retreat can easily turn into a rout. You Yong is a famous general in the north, although such an action is surprising, but when it comes to everything that is about to happen in Zhenzhou, whether it is Wang Feng or Deng Jingshan, the reinforcement who came from Lulong, he takes it for granted.

You Yong is going to lead the army back to Zhenzhou desperately to rescue his old boss.

For this reason, he even did not hesitate to break his arm to survive, and a broken army of 3,000 people became the only means to block the enemy's pursuit.

"Kill them." Wang Feng said excitedly: "There is no better opportunity than this. You Yong is Li Anguo's right-hand man, a confidant, if this person is not killed, there will still be a great obstacle for us to control Chengde in the future, let him escape back, he may even run to Yizhou to join Li Ze, that is, let the tiger return to the mountain."

Deng Jingshan thought so.

The 3,000-strong army after the break was led by Wang Wenshu. Because his son died tragically under the city of Zhenzhou, Wang Wenshu hated Wang Feng to the bone, and the big fat man who was so fat that he could barely see his toes in a year has completely lost weight.

Although there were only 3,000 men, they still resisted Wang Feng's Zhenwu army for a full day. The 3,000 army was almost completely killed and wounded, and Wang Wenshu just fled in embarrassment with dozens of personal guards.

The combined forces of Zhenwu and Lu Long were not in a hurry, because Yi Shui, who was lying on the road of You Yong's retreat, was a ghost gate for them. When attacking, they are very tidy, but retreating, it is not so easy. With tens of thousands of troops, it is almost impossible to cross Yishui smoothly.

After defeating Wang Wenshu's broken rear army, Wang Feng and Deng Jingshan immediately drove the army and chased them all the way.

Two days later, they finally caught up with You Yong's retreating army, and as they expected, You Yong's army was slowly crossing the Yi Shui, and on the Yi Shui, dozens of ships of various sizes were carrying the army towards the opposite bank. It's just a few hundred people at a time.

At this rate, if you want to completely cross the easy water, I am afraid that it will take more than ten days. And that's not even counting all kinds of heavy grain and grass.

After seeing the pursuers approaching, You Yong also stopped crossing the river, and lined up with his back to Yishui, looking as if he was going to fight to the death with the pursuers.

"The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone and will never return!" Looking at the Chengde army standing in the distance, it seems that it is about to break the cauldron and sink the boat, Wang Feng's heart is full of joy, these few months, he is worried about it, the Chengde two-way army, he has almost no room to fight back, he can only shrink all the way back and retreat, seeing that the foundation of his life is about to be broken by Chengde, the turnaround is so fast.

The fortress was the easiest to breach from within.

Li Anguo is dead, and if he kills You Yong and Wang Wenshu, he will at least be able to sleep peacefully in the future. As for Li Anmin, Suning and these people, like themselves in the future, will be attached to Zhang Zhongwu, with the ability of these two people, he will have a chance to kill them in the future.

Remembering that Cao Xin had made an oath in the city to punish his nine clans, Wang Feng snorted coldly in his heart. When Chengde is completely won, he wants to see if his Wang Feng Nine Clans are not guaranteed, or is his Cao Xin's Nine Clans in jeopardy?

If you want to raze my nine tribes, I will raze your ten tribes one day!

Wang Feng reorganized his army and prepared to attack, and Deng Jingshan pressed for him. With such an opportunity to beat the water dogs, Wang Feng naturally wanted to come in person, he had been overwhelmed by the Cheng German army in the past few months, and once the momentum reversed, how could he not breathe this well? Deng Jingshan is also knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and gave him the position of the main attacker.

He was preparing to attack, and You Yong, who was backed by Yi Shui's array, was also preparing to fight.

Different from Wang Feng's imagination, You Yong's face did not show any frustration, but faintly excited.

"The sacrifice of the three thousand athletes finally dispelled their last doubts and led them out completely, you regard me as fish and meat, but I regard you as a lamb!" You Yong touched his short beard with hard stubble, looked at Wang Wenshu, who was injured in many places around him and fled back in embarrassment, and said: "There is no need for you to rush to do such a thing."

"I don't do such a thing, no one will do it!" Wang Wenshu said fiercely: "Brother-in-law said that I want to avenge Mingren for the nine clans of Wang Feng, General You, after defeating Wang Feng, you don't care about me."

You Yong was silent for a moment before nodding: "It's up to you, but I can only give you three days, and I can't expand the striking surface. so as not to cause widespread panic."

"Of course, I'm not the one to kill, my brother-in-law swore in front of Akihito, this is Akihito's last wish, how can I let my son not be blind under the Nine Springs!" Wang Wenshu pushed away the military doctor who was wrapping his wounds, and twisted the strip of cloth around his body a few times and tied a knot.

"I'll go to the front later, and you'll be in the middle of the army."

"That's not good, you're not lightly hurt!" You Yong looked at the other party and said, "You are not the big fat man you used to be now, you will die if you bleed too much. You stay here well, Chengde, is it only you who can charge into battle? ”

Speaking of this, You Yong paused and said, "If you really want to talk about martial arts, you can't rank in Chengde now."

Wang Wenshu was furious and was about to refute, but the words he said were drowned out by the sound of war drums that sounded like thunder on the opposite side.

The Zhenwu army began to attack.

"Raise your shield!" In front, the Chengde officers rode their horses, ran back and forth in the formation, roared loudly, rows of big shields were raised, and with the sound of drums, the Chengde army took the first step forward.

"Ballista ready!" In the middle of the formation, the officers of the shooting battalion shouted hoarsely. Archers ready! ”

Rumbling, almost at the same time on both sides.

The buzzing sound was endless, and black feathered arrows flew from the arrays on both sides at the same time.

The armies of both sides were born from the Tang army, and up to now, their clothing, weapons, military formations, and tactics can be said to be almost identical, the only difference is that the two sides have different styles of their respective armies because of the different commanders and generals.

The marching foot soldier raised his shield above his head, and from a slow walk to a trot, and when seen from the sky, the smooth and shiny shield was like the easy water behind the German army, constantly undulating and rippling.

With a bang, the two armies collided with each other.

The sound of the collision of weapons and the shouting of killing immediately resounded in the world on the bank of the Yishui River.

In the middle is the battlefield where the infantry fights, and on both flanks, the cavalry of the two armies are also fighting desperately, killing each other, and then inserting into the enemy's ribs from the flanks, which is what the cavalry generals on both sides want to do the most.

The morale of the Zhenwu army is high, after all, it has been pressed and rubbed on the ground by the Cheng German army for more than a month, and now he sees the opportunity to take revenge, how can he not be excited?

But what puzzled Deng Jingshan was that it was clear that the German army was now facing a desperate situation, but why were their soldiers so full of fighting spirit, and he even saw that there were probably more than 1,000 German soldiers who had crossed the river before, and they actually came back by ferry, they did not land behind their army, but sailed downstream, and actually intended to land in a certain direction downstream, and then kill in a roundabout way.

Although he was a little puzzled, Deng Jingshan still sent a cavalry team to go in that direction, although more than a thousand people did not pose a big threat, but no one wanted a fly to buzz around at that time.

Both armies were brave and good at fighting.

This is the conclusion that Deng Jingshan came to after watching it for a long time. Zhenwu's soldiers have the current level, he can still understand, after all, in the battle of more than a month, Wang Feng's troops with weak combat effectiveness have been eaten by the Chengde people, and the rest are Wang Feng's henchmen. It's just that after the defeat of the Chengde people in Yingzhou, the army organized again actually had such combat power, which surprised him very much, and You Yong led not the core combat power of Chengde. Li Anguo's personal guard battalion, Chengde wolf cavalry, these troops, but none of them are here.

This gave him a further understanding of Chengde's war potential.

No wonder, whether it is the commander or Fei Zhong, the military division, they all want to solve Chengde through some extraordinary ways, and they don't want to fight hard with their opponents. If the Chengde wolf rides here, I'm afraid that Wang Feng will fail.

On the battlefield now, Wang Feng did have the upper hand, but Chengde did not give up. After a whole half of the battle, on the banks of the Yishui River, lying full of the remains of soldiers killed on both sides, those war horses without their masters, running around on the battlefield in a daze, accidentally hit by arrows and ballistas flying all over the sky, and fell to the ground with a neighing and wailing.

The whole army of Zhenwu also attacked, and only forced the Chengde people up the river embankment, but relying on the height of the river embankment, they still held firmly. Until now, the scene of the collapse of the opponent that Deng Jingshan wanted to see did not appear.

The Chengde army has already suffered about half of the casualties at this time, what is still supporting them in the battle?

Deng Jingshan couldn't figure it out.

Watching You Yong, who was getting dark, let out a long breath, and finally got through the most difficult day.

The two armies each collected their troops, and less than two miles apart, each began to bury pots and cook rice.

"General Deng, if You Yong wants to cross the river at night, he will also ask General Deng to attack." Wang Feng looked at Deng Jingshan and said.

"Of course!" Deng Jingshan said: "But You Yong is also a general, I'm afraid I won't do this, tomorrow, I will attack it!" ”

"No, they are already at the end of the crossbow, I will drive them all to the easy water to feed the fish, this matter, I will do it myself!" Wang Fengdao.

Deng Jingshan laughed.

You Yong sat cross-legged on the embankment very relaxed, and during the day, when it was most dangerous, he also carried a knife to fight. Looking up at the starry sky, looking at the moon gradually climbing high in the sky, tomorrow, everything will be over.

Wang Feng, Deng Jingshan would never have thought that in the upper reaches of the Yishui River, about thirty miles away from here, a Chengde army of up to 20,000 people, under the leadership of Wang Sili, the driver of Zhenzhou, had already crossed the Yishui.

In the other direction, the Zhaozhou army, led by Li Bo, was directly inserted into the Yizhou office. In Dingzhou, the Zhaozhou army, which had been silent for many days, under the leadership of Yuan Zhou and Li Tao, also launched a new attack on Dingzhou.
