But Li Li just took two breaths, only to see a few points of fire-like light faintly flashing in the darkness behind him, and soon there were more and more, denser and denser, and it was actually a little bit of fire.

At this time, Li Li had not yet reacted, thinking that it was the torch lit by the soldiers of the Yan army, but he soon realized that the situation was wrong, because the sound of shouting and killing sounded again. Li Li couldn't help but be taken aback, could it be that there was also Zhao Jun on this side of the river? But how did Zhao Jun cross the river? I didn't see Zhao Jun crossing the river just now. And it's behind him, is it difficult for Zhao Jun to fly over?

But the situation is not for Li Li to think about carefully, because the sound of shouting and killing is getting louder and louder, mixed with the sound of many weapons clashing and screaming, and the firelight is becoming clearer and clearer, and countless figures with torches can be seen, wielding swords, guns and weapons, killing the soldiers of the Yan army, all of them are infantry soldiers. Li Li was also very surprised in his heart, the Yan army that attacked the Yan army on the other side of the river just now was all the cavalry of the Zhao army, so where did the infantry of the Zhao army come from now? Is it so hard that there was an ambush on this side of the river in the first place?

In fact, when he led the cavalry on the plateau to attack the Yan army crossing the river, Huang Chong had also led the infantry army to arrive, and the plateau saw that the Yan army crossing the river could be defeated on the battlefield at this time, so he ordered Huang Chong to lead the infantry army to cross the Yanmen River upstream and go directly to the other side of the river to attack the Yan army.

After Huang Chong received the order, he immediately led the army to cross the river more than ten miles upstream, until it went around to the rear of the Yan army, and then lit a torch to kill.

At this time, most of the Yan army had already waded across the Yanmen River and retreated back, and there were more than 400 chariots here, which was not a small number, but in the dark, the Yan army did not know how many Zhao troops had been killed, and at this time, the Yan army had already become a frightened bird, and had no intention of fighting, so they were rushed by the infantry of the Zhao army, and retreated in the direction of the river.

At this time, the cavalry on the other side of the Yanmen River also lit torches and began to cross the river, but under the front and rear attacks of the Wu'an army, the Yan army had no way to retreat, so they had to run along the river. And most of the Yan soldiers saw that the general situation was gone, and they abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

After a simple count, this battle killed at least more than 20,000 Yan soldiers, or maybe 30,000, because almost half of them were killed in the river, and the Yanmen water was full of corpses for a while, and many corpses had drifted away with the river, so it could not be counted clearly, but the river water was dyed red, and flowed into the water, until more than ten miles later, it was diluted and desalined by the river.

In addition, the number of captured Yan soldiers was as high as more than 18,000 people, and after the surrender of the Yan soldiers, the main general Li Li, and Dong Zhao and other seven Yan generals were captured alive. In fact, there were only more than 3,000 Yan soldiers who fled back to the Chinese army under the command of Prince Dan.

The Wu'an army itself suffered only 231 casualties, another 187 soldiers were wounded, and only a dozen soldiers were seriously wounded. The captured booty was mainly more than 400 chariots and matching horses, as well as countless armor, weapons, and flags.

In fact, 50,000 troops, how many weapons and banners can be brought if they die, it's not really uncountable, but the plateau has no time to check in detail, because although the front army of the Yan army has been defeated, it does not mean that a comprehensive victory has been achieved, the middle army and the rear army of the Yan army combined, there are more than 70,000 people, not to mention the South Route Army, and now the strength of the Yan army is still far above the Wu'an army, and it is not careless at all. Therefore, after defeating the front army of the Yan army, Gao Yuan left only 5,000 infantry to watch over the prisoners of the Yan army, and continued to clean up the battlefield.

Although when the troops were dispatched, the plateau plan was to ambush the Yan army in the area of Molu Mountain, but the soldiers changed with the situation, and the battle plan was not immutable, and the Yan army would be divided into three sections to attack, which was not expected by the plateau, so it was still waiting for the Yan army to come over in Molu Mountain, which would be too rigid, so the plateau revised the battle plan and attacked the Yan army halfway by the Yanmen water. And after defeating the front army of the Yan army, the Chinese army led by Prince Dan of the Yan army will definitely not dare to advance further, and will definitely wait for the rear army to follow, and the two roads will join forces, and then try to fight a decisive battle with the Wu'an army.

The number of Wu'an troops is originally smaller than that of the Yan army, once the Yan army joins forces, it will definitely be more difficult to deal with, even if they can win, they will pay a lot of price, so Gao Yuan did not wait for the end of the count, and immediately led the army to attack, that is, to break the Yan army one by one before the Yan army combined.

Two days after ―――――――――――――――― the dividing line ――――――――― the dividing line, the defeated army retreated to the camp of Prince Taidan, and Tai Xiaodan could not help but be shocked when he learned that the front army had suffered a crushing defeat and basically the entire army was destroyed.

In fact, Prince Dan knew that Li Li was arrogant and arrogant, and there was no one in his eyes, and he knew very well that his own simple letter was impossible for Li Li to postpone the march, of course, Prince Dan also played a small trick in the letter, and deliberately did not mention that he encountered the attack of the Wu'an army on the way to the army, and repeatedly emphasized that this was Fan Yuzhi's Jianyì, he knew that Li Li had always looked down on Fan Yuzhi, so receiving his own letter was no different from adding fuel to the fire, Li Li not only would not slow down, but would accelerate the march on the contrary.

Of course, Tai Xiaodan's purpose in doing this is to make Li Li suffer a little, touch a nail in front of Wu Anjun, and come back with a disgraced face, so that he will no longer be so arrogant, and he will not dare to disobey his orders again, and he will be able to command him in the future. And after returning to China, Li Li will also take a little bit, and at the same time, he will also suppress the arrogance of the old family.

In Prince Dan's view, even if Li Li loses a battle, he will only lose 120,000 horses at most, and it will not hurt the army of Yan State, and the Yan army still has an overwhelming advantage over the Wu'an army. But he didn't expect that Li Li would be defeated so badly, not only did he catch himself, but even the entire 50,000 troops of the front army, only three or four thousand soldiers fled back. And the combat effectiveness of the Wu'an Army is inevitably a little too strong, although it is said to be a half-crossing attack, but it is 50,000 troops, to paraphrase a famous saying of someone in later generations: It is 50,000 pigs, and it is not easy to catch them all, let alone 50,000 people.

Therefore, in Prince Dan's heart, there is not only a feeling of being cocooned and self-bound, he knew that there would be such a result, and he had to persuade Li Li to say anything. But it was too late to say anything at this time, so Tai Xiaodan had no choice but to discuss with Fan Yuzhi again.

Fortunately, Fan Yuqi was more upright, without so many twists and turns, and did not see that Prince Dan wrote to Li Li to persuade him secretly, seeing that Prince Dan's face was ugly, he also comforted him: "Prince, the matter has come here, there is no need to be anxious, and Tai Xiao also wrote to persuade General Li, it is General Li who insists on going his own way and suffers on his own, no wonder the prince." ”

When Tai Xiaodan heard this, he couldn't say anything, so he had to say: "Now that the former army has been completely destroyed, the Zhao army will definitely take advantage of the situation to march, what should we do now?" ”

Fan Yuzhi said: "The Zhao army is newly victorious, the morale is sharp, we can't shake it head-on, we should avoid it for a while, take advantage of the Zhao army to clean up the battlefield losses now, immediately retreat, and the rear army, in this way, not only can strengthen the strength of our army, but also have enough food and grass supply, and then build a village to hold on, and the Zhao army, waiting for the opportunity." ”

Prince Dan also nodded again and again, Fan Yuzhi's construction was really good. The rear army and the middle army have always maintained a distance of thirty miles, and if they march quickly, they can be reached in half a day. Therefore, Prince Dan also immediately ordered that the whole army immediately pull out the camp and retreat to join the rear army, and at the same time sent someone to give an order to the rear army, so that the rear army could camp in place and prepare to meet him.

But at this moment, the spies came to report that there was a Zhao army fifteen miles in front of the Yan army, with about 30,000 people, including many cavalry.

When Prince Dan and Fan Yuqi heard this, their faces changed, and Zhao Jun's movements were inevitably a little too fast. But since the Zhao army had arrived, of course the Yan army could not retreat, because as soon as the Yan army retreated, the Zhao army followed and pursued, and the Yan army would undoubtedly be defeated. Therefore, Fan Yuzhi immediately built a yì to Tai Xiao Dan, and the Yan army was stationed in the same place, and built more fortifications to prepare to resist the attack of the Zhao army, but instead ordered the rear army to hurry up and join the Chinese army, as long as the grain and grass materials arrived, it would not be a problem to spend a month or two with the Zhao army.

After listening to Fan Yuzhi's Jianyì, Tai Xiao Dan also thought so, but fortunately, the order that had just been ordered to be stationed in the Hou Army had not yet been issued, so Tai Xiao Dan immediately re-issued the order, and then asked people to send it to the Hou Army.

After the order was issued, Prince Dan was also a little relieved, and then ordered the whole army to be stationed, prepare more bows and arrows, and strictly guard the camp, without the slightest relaxation. And Fan Yuzhi was also very conscientious, and immediately came to the camp in person, commanded the Yan army to arrange defense, and at the same time sent spies to find out the movements of the Zhao army.

The army of the Yan army is still built with chariots as the core, although it has lagged behind the times, but in some local battlefields, it can still play a big role, such as when it is necessary to hold on, you can use chariots to quickly arrange a relatively strong defense line. Therefore, under the command of Fan Yuzhi, it took a night of hard work to use all the chariots, and finally formed a solid defense line.

When Prince Dan inspected the camp the next day, he also praised Fan Yuzhi, thinking that this line of defense was indeed very well arranged. And the Zhao army also seemed to be jealous of the defense line arranged by the Yan army, so on this day, it did not launch an attack on the large camp of the Yan army.

And if the Zhao army does not attack, of course the Yan army will not take the initiative to attack the Zhao army, so the two sides fought against each other like this, and for three days, they were calm and sound.
