Chapter 1040: Invisible Pressure

After taking two steps, Liu Bi felt that something was wrong. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info none of his subordinates stood up.

Liu Bi turned around violently, pointed at several of his subordinates, and shouted: "What do you want to do? Looking for death? ”

Everyone looked at Liu Bei with fear in their eyes, with a hint of asking for help in their eyes.

Liu Xuan was dizzy and openly shouted in Liu Bei's big tent. shouted and shouted, he also openly wanted to split the Yizhou army and pull his troops to do it alone, which was to kill his head.

But Liu Bi has always been arrogant, thinking that he is great, and Liu Bei will never dare to do anything to himself.

Liu Bei said a word: "Kill." ”

………………

Li Yi woke up early, he wrapped the blanket on his body hard, looked at the dark sky, and felt sleepy.

Yesterday afternoon, Xu Shu got the news from Xiangyang City, and Liu Bei began to attack Xiangyang City.

This news made everyone a little worried, after all, Liu Bei had just won a big victory, the morale of the Yizhou army was booming, and the contrast between the forces of the offensive and defensive sides was very large, and it was indeed difficult to expect more than 70,000 people to defend for more than a month under the attack of the 300,000 Yizhou army.

As for the 50,000 soldiers newly incorporated into the Northern Xinjiang Army, Li Yi didn't expect much. As long as these people don't lag behind, it's good, and it is really difficult for some strongmen to want them to have strong combat effectiveness like veterans of the Northern Xinjiang Army.

Now to relieve the siege of Xiangyang, it all depends on whether the movement of the army that went south to reinforce Jingzhou is fast, and whether the Jiangling battlefield is ruthless.

No matter what happened to Xiangyang City, what happened to the reinforcements from the south, and whether the attack on Gangneung City went smoothly or not, the cavalry had to work hard to annihilate the enemy as much as possible and strive for more advantages for the defenders of Xiangyang City.

Li Yi ordered the generals of the various legions not to stretch out, so as not to affect morale, and everyone still acted according to the established plan. Li Yi instructed his subordinates to pay close attention to the concealment of their troops while speeding up the march, so as not to be discovered by the enemy's scouts.

Li Yi turned over and sat up.

The attendants gathered around in groups of three or five and slept soundly.

Dian Wei leaned against a big tree, and half of the black cloth on his body fell off. Li Yi quietly walked over, helped him re-cover the big coat, covered him with his own blanket, and then slowly walked out of the woods.

The soldiers on the night patrol hurried forward to salute.

Li Yi stopped them one by one and sat on the grass with them chatting.

Soon, a hint of fish belly white slowly appeared on the horizon in the east.

Then, the sky grew brighter and brighter, and dawn crept in.

The sound of horses' hooves suddenly broke the silence of the early morning, and they rushed towards the mountains and forests.

A scout appeared in Li Yi's field of vision with dew all over his body.

The scout was startled when he suddenly saw the lord standing next to the sentry, and hurriedly flew off his horse, and said breathlessly while saluting: "Lord, the Yizhou army is out of the city. ”

"When?" Li Yi asked with great joy.

The scout's face turned red, and he said with a little weakness: "They quietly went out of the city in the middle of the night. ”

Li Yi was stunned for a moment, looked at the scout's nervous expression, then laughed, and asked, "Haven't you been monitoring the movements of the enemy army near the city, why haven't you found out?" ”

The scout replied, "The Yizhou army went out of the city through the west gate, but not through the north gate." We stayed near the north gate, so we didn't find out until the second half of the night. ”

Li Yi nodded and asked suspiciously, "Could it be that the enemy has discovered us?" Why did they march in the middle of the night? At the same speed, they were about to arrive at the Shade Pavilion. ”

The scout immediately said: "Back to my lord, the enemy has crossed the river and gone to the other side. ”

Li Yi was stunned.

"Crossed the river?" Li Yi smiled bitterly at himself, then patted the scout on the shoulder and said, "You have worked hard, you strive to rest, we are about to march." ”

The scout saluted gratefully, mounted his horse and departed.

"Crossed the river?" Li Yi shook his head again and again and exclaimed, "The person who came up with this idea is really a genius." ”

The Yizhou army crossed Yishui and traveled along the south bank, which could also reach the Yicheng ferry. It's just that I have to cross the water again. But they avoided the danger of walking to the north shore of Yishui and possibly being ambushed by the elusive cavalry of the northern frontier.

Li Yi felt a little crying and laughing. The general of the Yizhou Army, who led the army, was very smart, and he chose a route that was more complicated and took a little longer, but it was extremely safe and safe. His trick was so powerful, not only did Li Yi's plan fail, but also ensured that the troops arrived at the Yicheng ferry on time to meet Wu Lan.

Li Yi walked away. The mountains and forests behind and the hills in the distance are shrouded in a faint morning mist, hazy and looming, like a fairyland. The slightly cool mountain breeze blows gently, and the wind carries a strong fragrance of trees, which is refreshing. The green grass was covered with dew drops and crystal clear.

Li Yi's heart was as calm as water, and he no longer felt helpless.

Heavy footsteps sounded from behind Li Yi.

Li Yi turned around slowly and saw the sleepy-eyed Dian Wei.

Dian Wei held Li Yi's blanket in his hand, and said angrily: "Lord, you should put it on." It's cool in the morning. ”

Li Yi stretched out his hand to take it, but Dian Wei stepped behind him and gently draped him on.

Li Yi smiled, patted Dian Wei's big hand, and ordered: "You go and inform the ministries, we will rush to Yicheng Ferry today." ”

………………

Wu Lan stood on the top of a cart full of grain, looking at the northern cavalry in the distance, his heart was heavy.

Last month, the news of the annihilation of the entire army in Yidao shocked the Yizhou army. The Northern Xinjiang cavalry gave the Huang Yizhou army a blow in the first battle of Jingxiang, and also killed a general, which was the worst defeat of the Yizhou army in these years and the first defeat of this year.

But for the Yizhou army, the important thing in this defeat was not the death of Ling Bao and the loss of 50,000 troops, but the blow to the morale of the Yizhou army, which cast an ominous shadow on the officers and men of the Yizhou army.

Under the command of the lord Liu Bei, the Yizhou army defeated the Northern Xinjiang Army in Yiling, pursued and killed the Northern Xinjiang Army for hundreds of miles, and even almost captured Li Yi, the commander of the Northern Xinjiang Army, alive, and everyone almost forgot this terrifying brand. But Wu Lan didn't do this, he knew very well that the victory under Yiling City was just caused by the Northern Xinjiang Army's unadaptability, not that the Yizhou Army was really stronger than the Northern Xinjiang Army.

What's more, in that case, they were not able to hit the Northern Frontier Army hard, so what was there to be happy about?

A mile away on the plain, black-pressed cavalry was speeding out from behind the small hills to the north, quickly gathering several huge battle flags in the middle of the plain.

With the increase of cavalry, the phalanx is getting bigger and bigger, the battle flags are getting denser and denser, the majestic momentum is getting stronger and stronger, and the fierce and terrifying murderous aura is mixed with the tense and suffocating atmosphere of war, and it is slowly and silently shrouded in the sky above the Yicheng Ferry.

Wu Lan was about a mile in front of the ferry, using thousands of carts full of baggage, crisscrossing into five arc obstacles, as deep as a hundred paces. If the cavalry charged, they would be intercepted by five obstacles in a row, not only would their speed be completely limited, but the cavalry would also be trapped by the chariot formation, completely exposed to the long arrows of the 20,000 soldiers behind the chariot formation.

Could it be that the cavalry of the northern frontier is going to attack? Wu Lan couldn't believe it. He was very confident in his blocking position. Since you are looking for death, then come.

Wu Lan turned around, facing the 20,000 Yizhou Army soldiers densely lined up behind him, suddenly spread his hands, and shouted with all his strength: "Beat the drums, prepare for the battle......

Li Yi was surrounded by the soldiers of the pro-guard, and Pegasus rushed to the huge battle flag.

Several generals saw Li Yi and greeted him together.

"Lord, when will the attack begin? The soldiers were in a hurry. Li Xinzi shouted.

Li Yi smiled, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, don't worry." ”

Then he looked at Xue Rengui and said, "Rengui, you arrived the earliest, right?" ”

"I came with General Li and General Xiahou, more than half an hour earlier than the lord." Xue Rengui said, "According to the request of the lord, the various ministries appeared in turn and assembled one after another. ”

"The soldiers of the Yizhou Army on the opposite side saw that there were more and more of our cavalry, and their legs were shaking." Wei Yue said with a smile, "The Lord's method is interesting, the more we gather, the more the enemy looks at it, the more frightened they become, their morale is low, and they lose three points before the battle is fought." ”

"Wu Lan's car formation is very large, and it is difficult for us to rush up. What do you propose for this battle? Li Yi pointed to the vehicle formation of the Yizhou army on the opposite side and asked loudly.

Several generals shook their heads. What's there to say about this, everyone opens up and rushes up to kill.

Li Yi looked at them one by one and saw Gao Xianzhi's face showing a sad expression, so he pointed at Gao Xianzhi and said, "Xianzhi, tell me." ”

Gao Xianzhi hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, if you attack strongly, the losses of the troops will be very large. ”

Li Yi laughed, and then asked, "Then how do you think we should fight?" ”

Gao Xianzhi shook his head and said, "There is no way except to rush hard. ”

Li Yi smiled: "Since this is the case, we will not fight." ”

Everyone looked at Li Yi in amazement, not knowing what he meant, and they were puzzled one by one.

Li Yi explained unhurriedly: "I ordered you to rush to the Yicheng ferry port to assemble, just to tell Wu Lan that we are nearby and can defeat him at any time." In this way, Wu Lan has only two paths to choose from. whether to stay at Yicheng Ferry; Otherwise, the reinforcements of Heyi City will defeat us, and then rush to Xiangyang City with a swagger. ”

"Lord, even if Wu Lan rendezvous with the reinforcements from Yicheng, there are only 40,000 people, and there is no possibility of defeating us." Li Xin shouted, "Wu Lan can only stay here, and he will be in a stalemate with us when he gets out of the car formation." ”

"In this way, we will not achieve our goal." Li Yi waved his horsewhip and said easily.

"But with such a drag, we can't annihilate them." Li Xin said helplessly.

Li Yi said disapprehantly: "Take your time, there is a chance." ”
