Chapter 17 The World Is Not Peaceful

On the banks of the Liangshui River, hand-to-hand combat.

The scouts on the periphery hurriedly gave orders when they found the Goguryeo soldiers who had forcibly crossed the river, and the sergeants of the Yuyang battalion stationed on the left bank resisted hard, but because they could not detect the enemy early, they ordered nearly 4,000 Goguryeo soldiers to rush to the shore...... In just one stick of incense, the Yuyang battalion suffered heavy losses and withdrew into the camp to engage the enemy in close combat.

The situation of the Liyang battalion stationed on the right bank was slightly better, and the sergeants stationed on the shore did not act rashly when they noticed the abnormal movement on the other bank, and informed Zhao Weisun, the commander of the Liyang battalion, of the news as quickly as possible. Then more than 1,000 soldiers lined up from the camp to the river bank to attack the Goguryeo army that had just climbed ashore and had not yet lined up.

When Lu Yi received the news that the enemy had crossed the river, the two battalions of Yuyang and Liyang were in a bitter battle.

With the strength of one battalion against 4,000 enemy troops, no matter how well it is dispatched, it will always be inferior in terms of troops...... Moreover, the weather made the ground soft, the cavalry could not move, the bows and crossbows were inaccurate, and both armies fought hand-to-hand combat for the most disastrous victory.

"How is the Liyang camp?" Lu Yi asked a tentative question, pretending to withdraw when he saw that the situation was not good, and listened to the horseman quickly replied: "The confessor led the troops to charge the enemy on the shore for a while, and then slowly retreated to the camp, and the battalion built a strong crossbow to shoot and repel the enemy garrison camp. ”

If the enemy is repulsed, it will be able to garrison the camp for the time being, but it will be impossible to stop the enemy army from being released on the west bank...... The so-called decisive battle is today!

This Zhao Weisun, the performance is not bad, it is really not bad!

"Where's Yuyang Camp?" Koji asked eagerly, and at the same time buckled his pocket. Beside him, another messenger replied: "The Yuyang battalion has come down to ask for help, the enemy is attacking rapidly, and the camp cannot stop ......."

There is a wall in the camp built by the Yuyang camp on the left bank because of the unstable construction yesterday and fell, the light rain for several days made the land soft and muddy, and the adversaries thought that the enemy would not come to attack, so they thought that they would wait for the rain to stop and then repair, but they did not want to attack Goguryeo today.

The messenger cavalry was not in a hurry to tell Lu Yi the news, he just thought that he could stay here for a while in general's place, and without the camp, the Yuyang camp was only worth more than 2,000 people, and he couldn't hold it anymore. Now, even if the reinforcements run over, they will only be able to receive the rout...... It doesn't make much sense.

In the past few years, they have been trained to guard against the enemy crossing the river and how to cross the river to quell the rebellion in the mountains and plains. The Duliao battalion has been the headquarters of General Yan since the year before last, and it has also been personally trained by General Koji, with a maximum of 3,000 posts. But the Yuyang battalion is different, their soldiers were all recruited the year before last, the armor is assembled at will, and the confessors have no talent, it is nothing more than a gangster day, and it is also the weakest battalion of combat effectiveness under General Duliao.

The fact that a wall collapsed in a camp during the war is enough to illustrate their disadvantage.

"Yuyang camp can't hold it? Is the confessor still alive, it's good to be alive, a great thing! Hearing that the Yuyang camp couldn't hold it, Lu Yi was not afraid but raised his head and laughed, buckled the armor piece and walked outside the tent while facing the messenger and said: "You go and tell the Yuyang camp to let him take the rest of the people all the way to Xiangping to escape, remember, it's a rout, not a retreat!" ”

After saying this, pulling the armor of the messenger horseman, Lu Yi spread his hand and pushed the cavalry away with a smile, braved the rain to stop the soldier who wanted to put on his own clothes, and strode to beat the drum of gathering troops, and shouted loudly: "Sons, the whole army listens to the order and rescues the Liyang battalion!" ”

The cavalry who was pushed away next to him listened to the order and watched the well-trained Duliao battalion in the camp quickly assemble, and watched the Qiang people with Liangzhou tall heads and big horses and deep eyebrows gathered proudly around the side of General Koji, his head was a little unable to turn...... What was General Koji talking about just now, rescuing the Duliao camp?

"General, general, it's Yuyang, Yuyang can't guard ......"

"Shut up! Does Ben still want you to teach you how to fight? Before the rider finished speaking, Lu Yi, who had just stepped on the war horse, had already wrinkled his eyebrows and glared at him, and reprimanded: "Didn't Fang Cai Koji already ask you to tell the Yuyang camp to tell them to retreat to Xiangping, and tell the Yuyang confessor that straw bag, you must pretend to be like it, and let the Guli soldiers chase these eighty miles, you know?" ”

Lu Yi didn't bother to explain too much to the messenger cavalry, so he led the soldiers from the camp to the direction of the Liyang camp with a whistle.

The commander of the Goguryeo army, their son Yi Yinmo, who assumed the duties of a general, was a straw bale!

Koji Yi watched the horse move forward with difficulty, and secretly laughed in his heart. Yi Yinmo divided the powerful army into two equal forces, which were roughly equal in strength, and forced their way from north to south to west on the riverbank...... The timing of his crossing of the river bank was well chosen, and to be honest, even Lu Yi himself felt a lot more relaxed after seeing the rain.

Not many people dared to cross the river rashly in this weather, but Yi Yin Mo crossed it, which was the courage of the Goguryeo prince.

His strategy is also good, but Lao Tzu's skills are superior. ’

Lu Yi thought in his heart that Yi Yinmo was probably planning to cross his own side with his troops and horses on the left and right, maybe he wanted to merge into one force after going ashore, and maybe he wanted to flank his own army one after the other.

None of this matters, because there are three battalions under Koji Yi, and the three battalions have different combat strengths, strengths and weaknesses. The disadvantage is that there is less experience in the battle formation, and it is inevitable that the big war will be panicked, so Lu Yi will deploy them in the center to avoid taking the lead in engaging with the enemy; The Yuyang battalion soldiers are sloppy in armor, but the soldiers are all recruited from Youzhou, most of them are proficient in horsemanship, but the road is muddy at the moment, and yesterday Lu Yi sent someone to send their mounts back to Xiangping, and half of the combat strength was scattered, which was the weakest in the army; The veteran of the Liyang battalion has several years or even more than ten years of military experience, and the first Liao generals Jia Zong and Qiao Xuan both attach more importance to this battalion of soldiers.

It can be regarded as an unintentional willow insertion, and with this relatively stable battle formation arrangement, Lu Yi originally planned to use the three battalions as a pocket, and the Goguryeo army forced its head from the opposite bank to plunge into the open space in the middle of the three battalions and attack on three sides. But I don't want Yi Yinmo to be divided into two parts...... This is much easier to deal with, the Yuyang battalion dragged the opponent's one part to Xiangping and retreated, and the two battalions of the two battalions of Lu Yi fought three or four thousand troops against Goguryeo three or four thousand.

After fighting the south road, and then four or five thousand to the north to fight two or three thousand, it is still a winning situation!

Lu Yi led the Du Liao battalion quickly through a distance of several miles, six songs spread out on the battlefield over the hill, the sergeant arranged the golden drum in the mountains with a good view, leaving a team of Qiang cavalry to guard Lu Yi from the ring, and the rumbling war drums resounded through the battlefield...... Before the sergeants of the Duliao battalion arrived, the soldiers of the Liyang battalion, who heard the sound of war drums, came out from the middle of the military village and the Goguryeo army that surrounded the camp from afar.

With the addition of the Duliao battalion to the battlefield, the sergeants of the South Goguryeo Road did not dare to resist forcefully, and after a short resistance with the sergeants of the Liyang battalion, they slowly retreated towards the river bank.

Seeing the Goguryeo soldiers retreating towards the riverbank, Lu Yi immediately waved the command flag, the whole army shouted gold, and the sergeants of the second battalion retreated like a tide again, leaving hundreds of corpses on the battlefield...... If they were sent to pursue, they would inevitably put the Goguryeo soldiers in a dilemma. If you advance, you will increase your swords, and if you retreat, you will drown in the river, and the partial generals will not give them a chance to swim safely.

Not long after, Zhao Weisun, the counselor of the Liyang camp, led more than a dozen relatives to visit Lu Yi all the way, and complained: "Why do the generals want to withdraw, it is better to drive them directly into the river, Juli Guo is like this, with a tough and aggressive temperament, so they will attack again!" ”

"Wait for them to attack on their own, there are still more than 2,000 people, and the cost of fighting to the death is too great...... Is the crusade of Emperor Huan also like this? ”

Lu Yi knew that what his subordinate Zhao Weisun said was the truth. Sima Lang's uncle, who was a young man, personally participated in Emperor Huan's crusade against the rebellious new Goguryeo king Bogu under Emperor Huan, and everything that Lu Yi knew about Goguryeo was from his mouth. However, more than ten years have passed, and the Han Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the Goguryeo Kingdom is naturally the same.

"What a sea of vicissitudes!" Zhao Weisun shook his head, his face showed a little worry, and said, "The new king of Goguryeo was still young at that time, just like Yi Yin Mo now, full of ambitions...... rebelled against my big man, this one, this time it is the same situation again. Goguryeo's wolf ambition is really a big trouble for my Han family! ”

Lu Yi raised his eyebrows in some surprise and asked, "Does Zhao Yu think that the Juli people can't be cured?" Let me tell you the truth, General Yan is preparing to attack Goguryeo's belly and back by sea in a few days, even if they don't come to invade us, the general will still deploy troops on the border, threaten them to garrison more troops, contain them and make the country empty...... This time, the general said that he would fight directly to their capital! ”

"Is this true?" Zhao Weisun's eyes widened suddenly, I don't know how many robes the Liyang battalion died in the battle more than ten years ago, in exchange for three years of stability on the border, "If there is an opportunity to attack Goguryeo, the general must let the Liyang battalion fight!" ”

"Yi Yinmo, young people are so ignorant of the sky. Zhao Chen, you are nearly fifty years old, and you are a rare elder. How can you be an elder like this? Although Zhao Weisun was more than twenty years older than Lu Yi, Lu Yi was still full of ridicule and did not have much respect when he opened his mouth, but the words in his mouth did not make Zhao Weisun anxious, he just asked with a smile: "I don't know how the general thinks he can be a good elder?" ”

"An ambitious junior like Yi Yinmo, as an elder, he naturally wants to teach him the truth of being a man, and the world is difficult to be safe! I want to tell Yi Yinmo that people live in the world, and nothing goes well for his mother! ”

Zhao Weisun couldn't help but smile and asked, "Let's say the rebel Han?" ”

"Especially rebellion!" Lu Yi spat out at his feet, and said with arrogance on his face: "The baby is not honest, beat it, and it hurts!" ”
