Water wars broke out in the upper reaches of the Yellow River and lasted for a short time.

If you talk about it in detail, the Huainan army at least maintained a certain degree of vigilance, but the 2,000 troops in Jijun didn't realize that they would encounter the Huainan army halfway, and they were completely caught off guard.

The scout ships in the front formation were discovered by the Huainan army and quickly eliminated, and the follow-up boats rushed directly into the Huainan army ship formation almost completely unfortified. In the consciousness of those Jijun generals, they were the active parties in this battle, and they had no preparation and awareness to encounter the enemy army halfway.

This army was originally pieced together by the head of the Jijun army, and the banners, drums, and orders could not be coordinated, and the battlefield was on the water surface of the Huainan Army's absolute superiority.

Therefore, there is no suspense in the battle at all, although the Huainan Army does not occupy a complete advantage, but as the actual commander, Hurun and Xin Bin, are both generals who have been cultivated for a long time and are good at water warfare.

In water warfare, especially in night water warfare, due to the increase in uncertain factors such as water flow and wind direction, there are higher requirements for the command of the battle, and the formation change is not as flexible as the land field battle.

Therefore, when several warships of the Huainan Army quickly rushed into the center of the enemy's ship formation, as those ships retreated and fled, the enemy's already small ship formation was completely crushed. More than a dozen small warships desperately retreated, and on the way to retreat, several warships were directly caught up by the Huainan army, and then the enemy on board was killed!

This Huainan army, it can be said that from the main general to the ordinary soldiers, there is a lot of energy in their hearts, and they are eager to hunt for great achievements. So in this pursuit battle, it was even more arrogant and wanton. If it weren't for Xie Ai's order to deliberately take away some of the enemy troops, the more than 2,000 Jijun soldiers along the way would have been completely annihilated on the Yellow River!

Water warfare is completely different from land warfare, because of the difference between the water flow and the boat, so the most common thing that happens in water warfare is the defeat war, as for the real war of annihilation, without the cooperation of other important elements, it is almost impossible to do.

In this water battle, except for the two warships that drifted down the river and the three that retreated in advance when the opportunity was not good, almost all the rest were surrounded and annihilated by the Huainan army. As for the three warships that retreated, they were also damaged to varying degrees under the attack and impact of the Huainan Army's slapping rod and speedboats, and the speed of the ships was greatly reduced.

The next was a pursuit, and the Huainan warships followed closely behind the three warships, and with little effort, they crossed the mighty Yellow River and found the enemy's crossings on the north bank of the Yellow River. And before the enemy ships arrived at Watarsu, they surrounded and swallowed it.

In this battle, the Huainan Army completely dominated, and even the slightly more intense battle did not take place. Seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, the remaining enemy troops on the three warships surrendered directly on the river.

Not long after, the sampan of the Huainan army approached the enemy ship, and the enemy general on the ship tied himself out, and after a while, he was wet and carried onto the main ship by the Huainan soldiers.

As soon as he was dragged onto the deck, he saw a man in bright armor marching around the soldiers, and when his knees were weak, his limbs were close to the ground and he shouted: "Wang Guang, the slave of the defeated army, knock on the prince." The slave had no intention of resisting the king, just because the villagers and clansmen were all controlled by the thief Tianni, and they had to ......"

Seeing that this thief would bow and beg for his life so undisciplinedly, the officers and soldiers of the Huainan Army on the ship couldn't help laughing, but now it was by no means arbitrary, so Hurun stepped forward and personally interrogated the enemy general about the military situation in Jijun.

The enemy general Wang Guang was extremely obedient, and he answered all the questions in detail, even what Hurun didn't ask was all told like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, and even explained where the Jijun Taishou Tianni hid the concubine.

This enemy general cooperated so much that Xie Ai and the others were a little at a loss for a while, and they didn't dare to believe it. For example, in the mouth of this enemy general, those villagers in Ji County are like seedlings that have been thirsty for a long time and are very close to dying, and they wash their faces with tears all day long, hoping that Wang Shi will cross the river early, as long as the Huainan army lands, there will be villagers who will flock to meet the king and eat pot pulp.

This kind of nonsense, if you have a little normal brain, you will naturally not believe it. You must know that a few hours ago, this enemy general was still happily leading his troops to attack the Huainan army, and he was not obedient to the people in any case.

At this time, Xie Ai from the other ship also transferred over, and then mentioned that the enemy general asked some specific questions about the mountains and rivers around Ji County and the division of forces. Immediately, some of the soldiers presented some pictures and books seized on the enemy ship, which were compared with the confession of the enemy general.

On this road of the Huainan Army, although the specific operational command was Hurun, when it came to the choice of the specific tactical route, the governor ordered that he must obey Xie Ai's orders before leaving.

At present, the location of the army is a small ferry port more than ten miles upstream from the enemy's Xinle camp. The scale of this ferry is not large, the defenders are only more than 200 people, there is a battle on the river a few feet away, the defenders of the ferry do not dare to show their heads to interfere in the battle, when the Huainan army boat docked, only to find that the soldiers of the whole camp have already scattered and fled, becoming an empty camp.

After a little muttering, Xie Ai did not intend to stay here, but ordered two small boats and more than 300 soldiers to land and occupy this stronghold for the time being, while the army continued to go down the river, bypassing the enemy's Xinle ferry and landing near Weishui in the east.

Regarding Xie Ai's decision, Hurun had a lot of complaints: "Earlier, there was a battle in Tianjin, and it was difficult to hide the fact that our army was attacking north. It is appropriate for the army to land here, chase the tail and attack, fight fast and slow, sweep along the way and do not allow the enemy to mobilize time, first attack Xinle, and then take Ji County, so that it can stabilize the Hebei ......"

This strategy is a decent and normal choice. The Huting Huainan Army's attack on Hebei this time was not only to simply encircle Wei and save Zhao, but also to take advantage of the weakness of Jijun and the suddenness of the Huainan Army's attack to expand the results as much as possible before the enemy army could fully react, and successfully gain a foothold in Hebei.

Just as Tian Ni chose to attack Suju instead of attacking Huting, Huting was close to the chasm, and the Huainan army had a slight advantage, and the soldiers could quickly assemble and put it on the battlefield. And the Xinle of Ji County, almost the same as Hu Ting to the Huainan Army, there are several tributaries in the territory to connect the countryside, and the waterway transportation is convenient, so it will become the camp of the Ji County soldiers.

As a result, Xie Ai not only did not choose Xinle, an important place that was already very close, but went to a more downstream location at a distance. You must know that at this moment, both armies are active in the waterway of the Yellow River, and the strength of the defenders of Suojube is completely unable to contain the advance and retreat of the army led by Tian Ni.

It was with the previous road of the enemy army on the river accident encountered the Huainan army was completely caught off guard, unable to parry, the Huainan army further downstream, will also encounter such a danger, if Tian Ni learned that the Huainan army sneak attack on Ji County and urgently return to rescue, it is very likely to meet this way of the enemy on the way, and then a fierce battle broke out.

Although there are more than 4,000 people in the Huainan army on this road, the previous siege and annihilation of the men and horses of Jijun seems to be devastating, but you must know that there are nearly 10,000 people led by Tian Ni, and if you return, you must have insight into the enemy's situation, and the Huainan army does not have an advantage at all, and the victory or defeat is really unpredictable. Moreover, in the intelligence, Xinle still has thousands of enemy troops stationed, and once they learn that the Huainan army has raided Hebei, they will inevitably gather township soldiers to attack. At that time, the Huainan Army will face the danger of being attacked by the enemy on its back.

If it is directly repelled by the Jijun soldiers on the water, the Huainan army's plan this time will be in vain, and it is already the best result to be able to retreat with the whole body. But this result was unbearable for the soldiers of Hurun and Shengwu, and this attack on Jijun was an opportunity created for them by the governor himself, and as a result, they were repelled without even climbing the embankment of the north of the river, which is simply unbearable shame!

Of course, Hurun is just a suggestion, and his attitude is not too resolute, one is that he is not as strong as Lu Yong in the Huainan army, and the other is that as a protégé of the governor, when Lu Yong has clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with Xie Ai, he must not question the appointment of the governor.

But in fact, in his heart, he already recognized Lu Yong's evaluation of Xie Ai, a Confucian general, every time he thought wildly, he was keen on intrigue but ignored the actual situation.

Xie Ai frowned slightly after hearing this, and then looked at Hu Run and said, "General Hu, do you know why we are leading our troops north this time?" ”

"Announce to Hebei Li Shu that the Wang Division's soldiers are coming to Hebei, and the Shikan thief army will be soon, and those who are committed to Jin Zuo and are forced to follow the thieves should set things right as soon as possible and welcome the Wang Division!"

Hurun was absolutely obedient to the military orders of the Governor, and when he heard Xie Ai's question, he repeated the instructions of the Governor before he left.

"Yes, in the order of the governor, it does not involve the gains and losses of the city and land, but the prestige of the king's army. If the Wang Division marched north, it was just sweeping the countryside and disturbing the people's livelihood, it would really not show the military prestige of the Wang Division, and it would be no different from the chaos in Hebei. Xinle is a thief army to defend the camp, and the victory or defeat is by no means instantaneous. Even if it is obtained, the villagers of Jijun have not received the favor of the king, and their hearts are difficult to attach, if Tian Ni leads the people back, although our army has new happiness, it has become a hundred difficulties, and it is difficult to advance an inch, so it seems to be brave and cowardly! ”

Xie Ai said this, his eyes were already shining: "Tianni Town is in Ji County, and he is the head of the thief army in this realm, if he leads the crowd to help, he will be the army of the emperor, and at that time, the city will besiege and kill this fang, which is enough to deter the county realm." Shi Kan painfully lost blood generals, even if he came to attack, he did not dare to disturb the scattered soldiers, and when his whole army came to fight, Huainan reinforcements had arrived, and the whole territory of Ji County could be safely collected. ”

"But Xinle still has enemies ......"

"The people of Xinle are the army of peace. Even if we learn that our army is plundering the territory, we should first of all stubbornly defend it first, and we will never dare to attack it lightly before we know the reality of the void. When our army kills Tian Ni, turn around and attack again, the people who have lost their heads will be vulnerable! The rest of the countryside is not a problem! ”

When Xie Ai said this, his words already revealed strong confidence, and his shining eyes added a lot of persuasiveness.
