Mr. Shen Yun Danfeng's words made Xue Wei's blood boil immediately!
He looked at Shen Yi with wide eyes, and even swallowed.
"Mr. Shen, let's..."
He asked blankly: "Are you going to conquer Qi?"
Shen Yi glanced at him and said angrily: "I said I was going to test the quality of Qi Jun, why can't I understand what I'm saying?"
Dachen's defense line along the Huaihe River is very long.
In the same way, the Huaihe River in Northern Qi will not be short.
In other words, it is impossible for the Northern Qi Dynasty's 200,000 troops to gather together, let alone all gather in Huai'an.
If they were all in Huai'an, no matter how stupid Zhao Lu was, he would definitely have sent his troops across the Huaihe River to make contributions to the north!
The Huaihe Navy Division has almost always been stationary.
In other words, the Northern Qi's troop deployment on the north bank of the Huaihe River should be quite even, and they would also defend the nodes that should be defended.
According to the intelligence from the Di Reporting Department and the Internal Guard, as well as Shen Yi's own comprehensive estimate, the Qi people's strength in the north of Huai'an is about 50,000.
Three days ago, they started to attack the Xiangshui Camp. At that time, there were about 30,000 Qi people on the northern side of the Eastern Front. Now they turned to attack the Lianshui Camp on the Western Front, and the scale of the attack was even larger!
If they want to quickly break through the Lianshui Camp, they will definitely invest a lot of troops. At this time, the Qi army directly north of the Xiangshui Camp may only have about 10,000 people left!
And there are 10,000 people who are seriously taking it lightly!
This is an excellent opportunity.
This is also the opportunity that Shen Yi has been waiting for for a long time.
because…
Shen Ziheng came to the Huaihe River not to guard the river. One day, he would go to the north bank of the Huaihe River, or even further north, to the Yellow River and to Yandu!
He needed to have a clear understanding of the Northern Expedition, and he could not let these two words remain on paper and in his mouth.
First, take the difficult first step.
Secondly…
We want to see what the fighting power of Qi people is like!
In other words, what is the field combat ability?
For more than half a year, all the Qi people he faced were attacking Qi people. He took advantage. Although he defeated many Qi people, he always had no clear understanding of the Qi people's ability to fight head-on.
.
And this time, it is a rare opportunity!
Mr. Shen squinted his eyes and said slowly: "This time, I'm trying the waters."
"But if the persimmon is very soft, just squeeze it."
"Before departure, I will explain the rules to you clearly."
"All our boats can cross the river together. About 1,500 people can pass through in one trip. The Qi people on the eastern front must be slacking off now. I estimate that crossing the river will not be difficult, but after crossing, the Qi people will definitely discover it."
"After landing ashore, immediately form a formation to meet the following brothers!"
Having said this, Shen Yi thought for a moment, then stretched out a finger and said: "Three times."
"After the ships came and went three times and we had enough for 4,000 people, we started taking action."
Shen Yi whispered: "Divide into two teams."
"General Su will lead a group to move westward. While fighting the enemy, he will pay attention to the situation in the west. Once he discovers that the enemy who attacked our western front has returned, he must retreat immediately without saying a word and notify Xue Wei to retreat.
,understand?"
Su Ding lowered his head and clasped his fists, his voice a little excited.
"My subordinate understands!"
Shen Yi turned to look at Xue Wei again, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "And your mission this time is very simple."
"Kill the enemy when you see him, don't think about anything else."
"We don't occupy the land to occupy the city, we only want to kill the enemy's effective forces!"
Xue Wei hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Mr. Shen, what is vitality?"
"He is the one they can fight with."
Shen Yi took a deep breath and continued: "We agreed in advance that this time we will focus on testing. Once we find anything wrong, or if we suffer a direct loss from the Qi people, we will retreat immediately."
"Cover your comrades to board the ship and retreat to the south bank!"
The two of them clasped their fists together and strode away.
Shen Yi stood in his tent. After being silent for a while, he slowly said: "Jiang Sheng, get me the stomach."
Jiang Sheng hesitated for a moment, but knew that he could not persuade Shen Yi. After sighing, he went to get Shen Yi's stomach.
"Ziheng..."
Behind Shen Yi, a hesitant voice came: "You want to go to the battlefield?"
Shen Yi turned his head, looked at Zhao Jizhou who was also in his tent, nodded and said with a smile: "Brother, you have never been on the battlefield, so you will stay at Xiangshui Camp. You don't have to follow me."
Zhao Jizhou gritted his teeth.
"I'll go with you!"
"Damn it!"
He spat on the ground: "You, a second-ranked Jinshi, can go to the battlefield, but I, a Jiankang rogue, can't go to the battlefield!"
He turned around and walked towards his box, saying loudly: "Zi Heng, just wait, I'll change my armor and go with you, I will protect you!"
Mr. Shen clasped his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Then it's agreed that when I go to the battlefield, I will no longer be a junior brother, but a coach."
Zhao Er was sticking his butt out to get a stomach from the box without looking back: "I'll listen to you, I'll listen to you!"
Near midnight.
At this time, there were no ships on the river. After all, it was too late. The navymen who had been "fiercely fighting" on the river all day during the day had already gone back to rest.
Not only Qi people went back to rest, but the soldiers on the boat on Dachen's side also went ashore to rest because they were tired.
As for these large ships, they weighed anchor again not long after they docked at the shore.
It just so happens that there is no moon tonight, the moon is dark and the wind is high.
Nearly a hundred ships slowly approached the north shore in the dark night, like ghosts in the middle of the night.
The Huaihe River is not very wide.
At this time, the people of Qi were completely unsuspecting, and they did not expect that the cowardly southerners, who had only been defensive for decades, would dare to sail close to the north shore!
Therefore, no one paid attention.
Until someone on the watchtower discovered the approaching ship...
But by the time he banged the gong and shouted, it was already too late.
A small boat from the Huai'an Army has successfully docked!
From this small boat, more than a dozen people jumped out, all wearing armor. Without saying a word, these more than a dozen people directly drew their swords and faced the thirty or forty Qi people who rushed towards them!
The two sides began to fight head-on!
This is the first head-on battle between the two sides in Hongde's twelve years!
There is no location, only courage!
Immediately afterwards, several more boats docked!
The Qi people stationed nearby only had two hundred-household camps. By the time these two hundred-household camps fully reacted, Master Shen's army had firmly grasped the river bank, and more than 1,500 Dusi soldiers successfully stepped on it.
On to the land of Northern Qi!
Xue Wei jumped directly from the big ship. He looked around, his eyes full of excitement.
Su Ding stood behind Shen Yi, lowered his head slightly and said, "Mr. Shen, it's really dangerous here. When this group of people get ashore and the ship goes back, you can follow them back!"
"Don't worry, it's not dangerous."
Shen Yi looked at the night quietly and said, "If it's dangerous, how could I let you come here?"
Mr. Shen paused, then suddenly smiled and said: "I heard that Yan Du had many second-generation ancestors in Zhou Shizhong's southern expedition. General Su will pay attention tonight. Anyone who sees someone who is timid and afraid of death and whose position is not high
I caught the young man who was low and took him back to the south bank."
"When the time comes, we can exchange them for a lot of benefits."
Su Ding lowered his head slightly: "I will obey your orders!"
At this time, there were already empty ships going back to pick up people.
About an hour later, more than 4,500 and nearly 600 people had already gathered on the north bank.
According to the arrangements in advance, these more than 4,000 soldiers were divided into two groups, led by Xue Wei and Su Ding respectively, one from the east and one from the west, towards the Northern Qi camp along the Huaihe River to attack and kill them.
And Shen Yi was also on Xue Wei's side.
In order to meet special circumstances, he can take over the command at any time.
And just when Mr. Shen successfully made a "surprise attack" to the north bank, the Lianshui Camp defense line on the west line of the south bank on the other side was already fighting fiercely with the Qi people!
The Qi people here ignored the naval obstruction and used small boats and small and medium-sized ships to forcefully break through the naval blockade and reach the defense line along the Huaihe River!
The entire Western Front of 10,000 soldiers, under the command of Ling Su, fought face to face with the Qi people along the Huaihe River!
Because of the disparity in numbers, it was very difficult to defend the Western Front.
We managed to survive until midnight, and there were still people trying their best to log in.
Just when General Ling was sweating profusely with anxiety, a messenger hurriedly came to him, lowered his head and clasped his fists: "General Ling, someone outside sent a message saying that the Forbidden Army was ordered to come for reinforcements!"
Ling Su was overjoyed and grabbed his sleeve: "Where is it?"
"The messenger said that we are still twenty miles away, and we must all arrive before dawn!"
Ling Su breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it was not easy for him to keep watch, there was no problem at all if he kept watch until dawn.
Suddenly, Ling Su came to his senses. He suddenly turned around and looked at the messenger, and was stunned: "You just said, where is the army coming to help?"
The messenger was startled. He lowered his head and tried hard to recall what the man said just now. He made sure he remembered correctly, so he lowered his head again and said: "Go back to the general, the man said that they are the Jiankang Forbidden Army and were ordered to come for reinforcements!
"
"Forbidden Army, Forbidden Army..."
Ling Su slowly whispered a few words. He turned his head and glanced in Jiankang's direction, murmuring in his heart.
Yes, in order to be prepared, there is a Forbidden Army stationed in the south of Huai'an. However, this Forbidden Army should obey the orders of the imperial court, but now my letter asking for help has not been sent to the imperial court...!
