Chapter 92: The Battle of Bluestone Bridge [5]

"This Koji is indeed a good hand at fighting. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

When Lu Yi planned to send scouts to find Yanbei, Yanbei had already led three thousand Xiaoya troops three miles behind him, and Gao Ran fully commanded the troops to arrange a line to defend against the enemy, and as a general, he moved to a small hill a little south of the battlefield with two hundred elite Xiaoya guards, which was three or four miles away from the battlefield, and the distance from the southern ambush was not far, and the order could be reached in less than half an hour.

It's a great viewing point.

Therefore, not long after the battle on the bluestone bridge began, he was already sitting on a stool looking at the battlefield from afar.

He could see clearly that Meng Yi had pressed fifteen teams of his subordinates on the bluestone bridge, and Lu Yi's subordinates were barely damaged, so he crippled these fifteen teams. By the time Lu Yi's subordinates began to retreat, the three teams of foot soldiers who had blocked the bridgehead in advance had at least two teams of people preserved.

Even if the crossbowmen on both sides were added to the brief exchange of fire, Yan Bei estimated that the casualties of Lu Yi would not exceed one hundred and fifteen. With 150 casualties, he relied on a wide stone bridge to replace more than 800 casualties of the Han army under Meng Yi.

Yan Bei gave a thumbs up to Lu Yi in his heart.

Although Yan Bei thought that if he guarded the bridgehead, he might be able to cause more casualties to Meng Yi, but he also admitted that if it was him, his subordinates would have suffered more casualties.

Lu Yi fought like this, and when he saw that it was good, he retreated and transferred to the battlefield in time, ensuring the survival of his soldiers to the greatest extent.

If his initial estimate was correct, the current calipers of victory in the Liaoshui battlefield have been pulled to his side. He still has more than 13,000 subordinates who can be thrown into this battlefield, while Meng Yi only has 9,000 left.

"General, Captain Koji is indeed an expert in commanding troops." Frustrated, with a smile on his face. Let Lu Yi be the vanguard of this battle is also his advance, whether it is Yanbei or Gao Lan, it is obviously inferior to Lu Yi in commanding the troops. "Captain Koji has begun to retreat, when are you going to send reinforcements?"

Yan Bei raised his arm and said, "Don't worry, wait until Lu Yi puts more than half of the Han army into Liaodong." ”

If before today, Yanbei still planned to preserve its combat strength, and the ambush soldiers behind the two mountains should at least save one to deal with Gongsun Zan in the future. Now that he has changed his mind, there is Lu Yi who has caused such a big vanguard result, it would not be interesting if the whole battle only bitten two or three thousand people from Meng Yi.

He wants to come to a big one, and he will cut down more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of Meng Yi with one sword!

Gently beckoning to summon the rider, Yan Bei whispered with a side face: "Tell Lu Yi and Gao Ran to let the enemy cross the bridge a little more and retreat three miles back together." ”

Estimating the time, Gao Ran should be stepping up the defensive line at this moment, although the camp may have just been fenced, but it is enough for Lu Yi to gain an advantage in the field.

The rider bowed his head and ran down the mound and straddled his horse and whipped away, by this time the sky was completely bright, but the gloomy dark clouds could still provide enough cover for the rushing riders, and there was no need to suppress the horsepower, all the way to the rear of the Koji Yi.

At this moment, the battle situation ahead changed slightly.

As if the two sides had made an appointment, they dismissed each other, and the marchers of the Luyi slowly withdrew to the formation, and the Qiang cavalry was wandering on the outside to guard against the counterattack of the Han army, but the Han army received an order not to pursue, but hundreds of crossbowmen occupied the riverbank, and the formation threatened to the east, not to pursue.

This gave Lu Yi a chance to reorganize his formation, and the strict formation under the three thousand soldiers and horses slowly retreated. But it also gave Meng Yi the opportunity to spread out the soldiers and horses across the Liaoshui. The soldiers and horses on both sides were five or six hundred paces apart, enjoying a rare calm.

Just when the Han soldiers quietly breathed a sigh of relief, Yan Bei watched the riders he sent rush into the rear of Lu Yi with smoke and dust...... A moment later, the battlefield was shouting again!

Lu Yi didn't intend to really give the Han army a chance to breathe, seeing that the Han army had nearly 2,000 people crossing the bluestone bridge, the rebel front suddenly rushed out of an array of fifteen crisscrossing the countryside, and quickly rushed forward.

Ten teams of crossbows and five large shields ran in a roar, and fifteen hundred warriors roared at the same time, raising strong bows and crossbows.

Approaching four hundred paces, more than 600 archers in the line stopped in unison, drew their longbows diagonally towards the sky, and threw them towards the river. The arrows spread out a gray rain like a plague of locusts in the sky, and under the heavy rain, the foot soldiers and crossbowmen who resisted the great shield continued to gallop until they were two hundred and seventy or eighty paces before they suddenly stopped, and shot out with strong crossbows.

Half-crossed!

Thousands of Han troops gathered on the entire bridge deck, and there were also two military formations on the river bank below the bridgehead, with more than 2,000 people, including archers and foot soldiers, and even a small number of cavalry mixed together on the edge of the reeds.

Some people shouted, some people retreated, and of course, there were also those sensible generals who stood in place and shouted angrily and ordered the soldiers to stabilize their positions and not panic, but did this work?

In the blink of an eye, there was the sound of arrows crashing into the flesh.

On the bank of the Liaoshui River, there is no way to retreat, and it also causes chaos on the bluestone bridge.

"Huang Zhongyi is broken, let the crossbowmen come back." With a wave of his hand, he plunged the spear in his hand upside down in the loess under his feet, and applauded when he saw the results caused by his crossbowmen, laughed wildly and happily, and laughed loudly while holding the reins: "Greet the brothers back, the general has an order, retreat three miles!" ”

At the same time as he let out a laugh, he rushed out nearly 300 crossbowmen and ran without saying hello, and those warriors with large shields smashed their huge shields on the ground to prevent the enemy crossbowmen from counterattacking, and the arrows thrown by the hundreds of archers behind him in the sky once again fell on the enemy's heads.

In the face of the rebels' organized long-range attacks, the Han army's defensive counterattack appeared weak and weak, their lieutenant general was still on the opposite bank, and the highest-ranking lieutenant here was wounded in Fang Cai's random arrows, and was in the stage of a group of dragons without a leader, except for a rain of arrows that hit a dozen unlucky rebel foot soldiers, there were almost no casualties.

On this day, the leader of the rebel army named Lu Yi personally demonstrated to them, the Han soldiers who had just been recruited from all over Youzhou, what was called the art of war.

The morale of the Han army has been low to the bottom, a whole morning, an hour and a half of time span, although they successfully crossed the Liaoshui, but they were killed and wounded by nearly 2,000 people without even touching a single hair of the enemy, but the efficiency of the death of Lu Yi's subordinates was very high, so that Meng Yi was killed more than 800 in one morning, and more than 600 people were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness...... Perhaps such a battle loss is only one-twelfth of Meng Yi's base of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, but if the number of enemies against him is only 3,000.

It's enough to call it a huge loss!

It even made the battle-hardened Meng Yi suspicious, and when he dispatched the entire army and horses to the east of Liaoshui, he even doubted whether he should continue to fight the 3,000 rebels to the east.

After leaving two wounded soldiers, waiting for reinforcements from Youzhou and temporary self-help, and at the same time shouldering the mission of guarding the Qingshi Bridge, Meng Yi ordered the remaining more than 8,000 combatants to be divided into three ways to outflank the 3,000 rebels three miles away. He believed that the rebel Yan Bei who occupied Liaodong could not all be such elite soldiers, and if this was the strongest combat strength of the rebel army, he must strangle all the enemies here.

At the same time, he was also a little puzzled, it stands to reason that Yan Bei, the leader of the rebel army who was entrenched in Liaodong at this time, should have received the news and was on his way, but the actions of the rebel leader three miles away gave him a feeling of bluff.

Meng Yi frowned and stationed his horse, he felt that if he was in the same situation, with reinforcements in the future, he would definitely not let the crossbowmen risk standing out just to project these thousands of arrows...... How many people can be killed? The full battle was less than 400 Han troops, and the Han army lost its combat effectiveness because of this. But what if he pretended to retreat and actually let the reinforcements outflank him? If you venture into a light enemy, you can fold nearly a centaur into it.

According to the superb combat ability that this traitor had only shown, Meng Yi didn't believe that the enemy he was about to face would be so hasty, so there was probably only one result...... This is an advance and retreat, and the enemy's reinforcements have not yet arrived, and they are just trying to scare him.

Scare him, yes!

Thinking of this, Meng Yi no longer hesitated, and immediately rode his horse forward, and the eight thousand soldiers were suddenly divided into three groups and marched towards the location where Luyi was encamped, with the left and right flanks and the Chinese army to kill them.

Lu Yi, who was observing Zhang Jaw hastily building a simple camp before, didn't know Meng Yi's little thoughts, and all he was thinking about now was how to break the enemy army without Gao Ran's support. Of course, he also knew that Yanbei, who was watching from afar, would probably not give him this opportunity.

If he knew Meng Yi's thoughts, he would probably laugh off his big teeth. Zhonglang made Meng Yi wrong in two points, the first is that although Lu Yi only has 3,000 soldiers and horses, Ju Yi is not afraid of him. The previous battle had proved that in Lu Yi's heart, Meng Yi was not as good as his own envoys to his subordinates. The second point is because of the asymmetry of the message.

Meng Yi thought that if he had reinforcements, he would also assemble at this moment, and began to move in a roundabout way to both sides, even if he entered the expected ambush formation, it would take two or three hours later. But Meng Yi didn't know that his army was originally calculated or unintentional, and there were more than 10,000 troops hiding in ambushes in various places, even in terms of numbers alone, the Han army had the upper hand.

Dismounted and patted the wooden fence that could block arrows on the west side, Lu Yi pulled the reins and smiled, raised his cross arm and raised two fingers to his Yicong leader and ordered: "You lead Yicong and five hundred step archers, drag the left flank of the enemy army for me, and you don't have to worry about frontal combat." ”

Looking at the battle situation left and right, Lu Yi smiled...... Is it enclosed on three sides?

You'd better go around behind me and contain the enemy's left flank for even a moment, the enemy's two sides will not be able to form an encirclement, and Lu Yi hopes that Meng Yi will make a wrong judgment and let the right flank go around behind him.

Because behind him, there are three thousand fangs with their mouths wide open.

Looking at the thousands of soldiers and horses that came up with a surging momentum a mile away, Lu Yi stared at the big characters marked with Meng with a somewhat mocking gaze, revealing a cruel smile.

This court lieutenant general is pushing himself step by step into the abyss of death this morning!
