Of course, perhaps this tactic can also be described as "when the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy retreats, we advance", but Li Xingchen believes that this famous saying of Taizu of the Celestial Dynasty should be used more in the strategic direction, and in the tactical direction, it should be used
Magnetic tactics is more appropriate to describe.
Although this Wang Qian is not a famous general, he did find what seems to be the best way now.
"In this way, I'm afraid it will be difficult to break through Yishui in a short time." Yang Su said in a deep voice, which was a conclusion for Wang Qian's tactics.
Li Xingchen frowned.
I am asking you to come up with a strategy, not for you to conclude that "it is hopeless". If that's all you have, then what use do I have of you?
Zhang Xutuo hurriedly added: "But as long as we can transport more soldiers across the Yishui at the same time, or the first batch of soldiers ashore can stay on the shore of the Yishui for a long enough time, waiting for the second batch or even
When the third batch of people arrives, no matter how the enemy counterattacks, they will still have to face the increasing number of our people, which may eventually reverse the numerical disadvantage."
"We need ships." Li Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Then order the Imperial Guard to advance quickly and send men to cut down trees along the way to build ships."
After a pause, Li Xingchen stood up: "Li Ping, prepare your horses, I will go to Yishui to have a look."
Zhang Xutuo and Li Jing were both startled, and immediately wanted to stand up and stop them, but Yang Su reached out to stop them and winked at them, telling them not to talk any more.
His Majesty has not asked to go to the front line once. If he is always not allowed to go to the front line, I am afraid that His Majesty will have objections to these ministers. Moreover, Li Xingchen chose to go to Yishui because it was on the south bank of Yishui and he could not cross the river. There was nothing wrong with it.
There is danger. If there is danger on the south bank of Yishui River, then it would be better for Li Xingchen to hide in the palace of Jiankang Prefecture, which would be safer.
What's more, the Battle of Yishui is now at a critical juncture, and Li Xingchen's appearance will undoubtedly boost morale.
Just let him go.
"Your Majesty," Yang Su stood up, "Please come with your Majesty."
You can go, but you have to prevent His Majesty from getting carried away and rushing across Yishui with a knife. Don't forget that this guy was still the leader of the charge a few years ago, even though he has become a lot more stable in these years.
, who knows if he still has the desire to serve on the front line with strength?
Yang Su doesn't expect Li Jing and others to be able to stop His Majesty.
Li Xingchen glanced at him, and of course he understood what Yang Su was thinking.
Okay, if you want to follow, just follow.
"I will take the first step, but the armies must not neglect and advance quickly." Li Xingchen said directly, "If there is any news about Beimang, please forward it to the army immediately."
"I obey the order!" Li Jing and Zhang Xutuo said hurriedly.
By the time Li Xingchen arrived at Yishui, the battle had become increasingly fierce.
Chen Zhishen obviously did not naively think that Wang Qian was really as easy to deal with as Cui Jingsong and Yuwenda before him. After all, Wang Qian had really led troops to fight, and Cui Jingsong and Yuwenda were both civil servants, so they really had to
In terms of the ability to command troops, it is inevitable that Wang Qian is superior to the two of them. If he is not even comparable to the two of them, then Chen Zhishen feels that he has enough reasons to despise Yu Wenxian, Yuchi Jiong and others.
Therefore, Chen Zhishen made complete preparations before the Battle of Yishui.
It is the simplest way to overcome hundreds of tricks with one force, so even after the battle started, Chen Zhishen did not stop building ships in the rear army. He even sent his own personal guards to chop down trees.
This means that the Han army can transport more people across the Yishui River each time than last time.
The first time there were a thousand people, the second time there were 1,200 people, and the third time there were 1,400 people.
But even so, Chen Zhishen still has to face a problem, that is, there are tens of thousands of enemies on the north bank.
This is not a quantitatively symmetrical battle.
The artillery was roaring desperately. At this time, it was useless to block the enemies in the distance, because the enemies rushed up completely and oppressed the small position guarded by the Han army. Whether it was artillery or trebuchets, it was just
Just let the person on the other side listen.
At this time, the soldiers of the Han army did not intend to defend at all, and continued to attack outwards, aiming at the location of the enemy's general flag and launching a fierce attack. Perhaps the Northern Zhou army did not expect that the Han army would dare to counterattack under such circumstances.
They suffered a loss, and two generals were killed by the advancing Han army, which also caused the Northern Zhou Dynasty's attack to slow down for a while, but soon they pounced on them like wolves and tigers, and the Han army
The figures of the soldiers have gradually disappeared.
Among the vast crowds and the sea of cyan flags, the red flag that worried so many people on the south bank could hardly be seen.
Li Xingchen rode his horse up the high slope. On the high slope was the Han army's artillery position, and he bombarded the opponent as much as possible from a high position.
Li Xingchen looked as far as he could. There was indeed red persisting among the blue, and there were also red flags on the Yishui River, but there were still too few.
The enemy must be stopped!
"I see your Majesty!" Chen Zhishen came over in a hurry.
Li Xingchen looked at his most trusted general, smiled and nodded: "No courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chen Zhishen said hurriedly, "I am incompetent and failed to break through Yishui even once, leading to a fierce battle now."
"How can the war be so easy?" Li Xingchen laughed, "We are about to see Luoyang City now. The enemy's madness is just the last struggle. It has forced others to a dead end. The enemy is not allowed to struggle anymore.
, wouldn’t that be too cruel.”
Chen Zhishen was startled for a moment and couldn't help but smile.
It seems there is nothing wrong with what His Majesty said.
Wang Qian's desperate efforts are just a desperate struggle!
"I'm just here to take a look. I can command you as I should. I won't interfere with you." Li Xingchen said directly, "My flag is only here, not in your central army."
Chen Zhishen put down a big stone in his heart, and was about to hand over his hand to thank Li Xinchen, but Li Xinchen shouted: "Why are you still standing there!"
Chen Zhishen hurriedly handed over his hands and left.
It is useless to say any polite words at this time. The best way to thank Your Majesty is to take Yishui for His Majesty.
Ahead, on the south bank of the Yishui River, the third batch of Han soldiers had arrived. This time, they were mainly spearmen. Chen Zhishen even took the risk of transporting a hundred musketeers.
The sound of muskets sounded for the first time on the north bank of Yishui River, and the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty began to retreat hastily.
Seizing this opportunity, the spearmen formed a neat queue and pressed forward!
The spears were raised one after another, forming a deadly front line, forcing the enemy to retreat. The musketeers continued to fire guns between the spearmen.
At the same time, Chen Zhishen gave the order for the artillery to close in and fire.
