Chapter 200: The Yan Army's Attack (Part II)

Although the actual losses of the Yan army were not large, the continuous attacks along the way did cause great interference to the Yan army, because the continuous blows of the Wu'an army, the morale of the Yan army was also greatly affected, if this kind of attack was allowed to continue, the Yan army would definitely be affected by YanzhΓ²ng.

Therefore, on this night, after the Yan army was stationed in the camp, Tai Xiaodan also discussed with Fan Yuzhi urgently about countermeasures.

Fan Yuzhi said: "Taixiao, the Zhao army used the tactics that Weichen said before, constantly sending small troops to attack our army, to hit our morale, in the battle of Jingcheng, the Zhao army used this tactic many times, so that the Qin army did not worry about it, the plateau is still Li Mu's son-in-law, and Li Mu's art of war is very obvious, and this time the intention of the Zhao army is very obvious, that is, to use a small group of men and horses to drag us, I am afraid that we will concentrate our forces to deal with the front army, so we have to guard against ah." ”

Although the state of Zhao has now perished, and Gao Yuan also refers to his army as the Wu'an Army, in the eyes of others, they are still the Zhao army, so they still refer to the army of the plateau as the Zhao army.

Prince Dan nodded, smiled bitterly, and said, "What General Fan said is good, but it's a pity that General Li insisted on going his own way and didn't listen to General Fan's advice, I don't know if General Fan has any good way to deal with it?" ”

Fan Yuzhi said: "The best way to deal with it now is to let General Li join forces with us, and then, as I said, step by step, advance layer by layer, but I think General Li may not be able to take it, so he should immediately send someone to send a letter to General Li, asking him to march slowly, and carefully prepare along the road in case he is ambushed by the Zhao army." And keep a distance of 20 miles from us, once attacked by the Zhao army, immediately defend on the spot, wait for our rescue, the two armies together, can defeat the Zhao army. ”

Tai Xiaodan thought for a while, a fine light flashed in his eyes, and said, "Okay, I'll send a letter to General Li right away." ”

Fan Yuzhi said: "Tomorrow we will march, and we will strengthen the strength of the patrol army to prevent the Zhao army from attacking again." ”

Tai Xiaodan said with a smile: "In terms of military affairs, just act according to General Fan's wishes, just let it go." ”

Fan Yuzhi listened to it, and was also quite grateful, and said suddenly: "Thank you for the prince's trust, but General Li's side also asked the prince to write a letter." ”

Prince Dan said: "General Fan, don't worry, I'll write a letter and ask Xia Fu to send it overnight." ”

Fan Yuzhi knew that Prince Dan had three henchmen under him: Xia Fu, Song Yi, and Qin Wuyang, all of whom were proficient in swordsmanship and excellent martial arts, and won the trust of Tai Xiao Dan, so Prince Dan sent Xia Fu to send a letter to Li Li, and also expressed Tai Xiao Dan's attention, and Li Li did not dare to despise it.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Li had just gotten up and received a letter from Xia Fu. After reading the contents of the letter, Li Li said: "Tai Xiao persuaded me to postpone the march, saying that he was afraid that I would be ambushed by the Zhao army, is it too much to worry about." ”

Xia Fu said: "Hui Yu General, this is General Fan's construction, the Zhao army will definitely set up an ambush along the road to attack the general, so please suspend the march, join the army of Taixiao, and then march slowly, if the general encounters the attack of the Zhao army, please garrison on the spot, and immediately send a letter to the prince, Taixiao will immediately lead the army to rescue the general." ”

Li Li couldn't help laughing out loud and said, "Okay, you go and reply to Tai Xiao, just say that I know all about his kindness, and I will act according to the prince's wishes, so that he can rest assured." ”

Fu Fu also nodded and said, "Then the villain has retired." ”

Li Li waved his hand and said, "Be careful all the way." ”

After Xia Fu left, Li Li immediately ordered the whole army to set up troops and advance at full speed.

As soon as the order was handed down, Li Li's deputy general Dong Zhao said: "General, didn't Tai Xiao ask you to suspend the march?" Why go full throttle. ”

Li Li snorted and said, "What do you know?" It was because he was afraid that I would monopolize the capture of Kamiya County, so he asked me to postpone my march. It is also said that this is the construction of Fan Yuzhi, Qin is just a barbaric country, does not know etiquette, does not understand etiquette, and is no different from the Yidi clan, a fugitive general from Qin, what ability can he have, and the prince is too self-respecting, such a person can accept at most as a doorman, and he still has to treat him like a guest, this time the general will drive in, capture Shanggu County, and see what else Taixiao and Fan Yuzhi have to say. ”

It turns out that among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, the history of the Yan State is the longest, and when the Zhou Dynasty was just established, among the first batch of candidates who were divided, there was the Yan State.

The first monarch of the Yan Kingdom is called Ji Zheng, the son of King Wen of Zhou, the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou, the direct cousin of the Zhou family, and assisted King Wu of Zhou to successfully destroy Shang.

When King Wu of Zhou entered Chaoge City, the capital of the Shang Dynasty, on the left was the Duke of Zhou and holding a big axe, and on the right was Zhao Gongxiao holding a small axe, jointly guarding him. Later, the Zhou Dynasty was crowned a meritorious hero, and the Duke of Tai, the Duke of Zhou, and the Duke of Zhao were all named second-class marquises, and they were relied on by the Zhou family. After the death of King Wu of Zhou, King Cheng was young, so the Duke of Zhou and Zhao Gong jointly assisted the government, and the two agreed to divide Shaanxi and rule, the place east of Shaanxi was managed by Zhou Gongdan, and the place west of Shaanxi was managed by Zhao Gongxi. After Zhou became the king, he set Zhou Gong and Zhao Gong as the official titles of auxiliary ministers, which was equivalent to the left and right prime ministers.

And now the Zhou family has perished, Zhou Gongdan's feudal state Lu has long perished, Jiang Taigong's Qi country has also been replaced by the Tian family, only the Yan country of Zhao Gongxiao is still there, and it is also the only remaining candidate country surnamed Ji among the Zhou chamber feudal candidates, and it has a history of more than 800 years by this time.

It has a long history, is noble and prominent, and is currently the only authentic and authentic branch, so although it has entered the Warring States Period, the strength of the Yan State is not strong, and among the Seven Heroes, it is basically in the position of swinging the tail, and fighting with other countries, it is also more defeated and less victorious. But the monarchs and ministers of Yan State have a sense of superiority that is incomprehensible to other countries, and they look down on other countries at all, just like an old nobleman who has seen his decline, although he can only rely on recalling the glorious deeds of his ancestors to appease himself, but he always looks down on those new outbursts, and his ancestors are much wider than yours.

And Qin State is such an explosive household in the eyes of Yan State, Li Li does not want to see Fan Yuzhi, in fact, it is not because Fan Yuzhi threatens his status, but mainly because of the superiority of this old aristocrat in the bones of the Yan family. Therefore, as soon as I heard that it was Fan Yu to the prince Dan Jian. Li Li, of course, ignored it, so he ordered to go full speed.

After the army set off, after walking for about two hours, Yan Guo encountered the resistance of the Wu'an army. But Li Li couldn't help laughing out loud as soon as he saw the formation of the Wu'an army, because the Wu'an army dispatched about 5,000 infantry troops, and formed a formation on the road of the Yan army's advance, blocking the way of the Yan army, but there was not a single chariot, only more than 20 cavalry.

The Yan army still maintained the military system with chariots as the core in the past, with a ratio of about 100 soldiers to one chariot, and in addition to three soldiers on the cart, it was usually equipped with 10 to 15 armor soldiers, 15 to 20 soldiers who were responsible for logistics and baggage, and the rest were lightly armed. A small number of vehicles will also be equipped with several cavalrymen. So an army of 50,000 people, equipped with 500 chariots.

Although the status of chariots has not been as good as before, it still has a very big advantage against infantry, and the number of Wu'an troops is too small, so Li Li did not pay attention to this army blocking the road at all, so he immediately sent a hundred chariots to attack the Wu'an army.

The result was not at all unexpected by Li Li, as soon as the chariot rushed, it immediately rushed the formation of the Wu'an army to pieces, and the soldiers of the Wu'an army had no resistance at all, so they broke up at once, and the soldiers ran into the nearby mountains and forests, and weapons such as swords, guns, halberds, and flags were also thrown all over the ground.

When Li Li saw it on the chariot, he couldn't help laughing out loud, laughing out loud, and said: "I thought that the Zhao army had some ambush, but it turned out to be like this, it was simply vulnerable, what is there to be afraid of such a Zhao army, but the ridiculous prince actually listened to Fan Yuzhi's words and asked me to postpone the march in case the Zhao army attacked, which is really ridiculous." ”

The surrounding generals listened to it, and hurriedly echoed Li Li's words, this said that Fan Yuzhi was just a barbarian and could understand the art of war; The one who said that the prince had made the ghost confused, so that he believed a barbarian; Others boasted of Li Li, saying that he was proficient in the art of war, resourceful, and used soldiers like a god.

And Li Li listened so vividly that he almost forgot who he was.

At this time, the deputy general Dong Zhao sent a message to Li Li again: "General, since you have won the battle, quickly send someone to report to Tai Xiao." ”

Li Li glanced at him and said, "If you repay the merit to the prince, the prince will ask me to postpone the march, or catch up with us and join the army, and share my credit." Therefore, the merits of this battle, write it down first, don't be busy reporting to the prince, and after we capture Shanggu County, then report all the merits to the prince, at that time, I see what the prince and Fan Yuzhi have to say. ”

Dong Zhao heard this, and hurriedly said: "It's still a great general, I can't wait." ”

Li Li laughed again for a while, at this time the soldiers also cleaned up the battlefield, there were not many Zhao soldiers killed in this battle, only a dozen people, but the guns, swords, halberds, flags, etc. thrown by the Wu'an army were indeed two or three thousand, and they could not be counted. Li Li immediately gave the order and continued the march.

After the victory, the morale of the Yan army was greatly boosted, so they traveled much faster, and when they set up camp and rested in the evening, they had walked sixty miles in one go. After resting for the night, the Yan army immediately continued to march on Shanggu County, and was blocked by the Wu'an army twice on the way, but both were defeated by the Yan army. On this day, I walked another fifty miles and arrived at the intersection of Yanmen Water and Zhishui. By this time, the front army of the Yan army had opened up a distance of nearly sixty miles from the Chinese army.
