Eight hundred and ninetieth chapters ten road attack, shocked Liu Bei
After Yan Liang ordered Tai Shici to defeat the Wuhuan cavalry, he changed his route and rushed to western Liaoning in order to threaten the Wuhuan people's nest and force Taodun to lead his army to withdraw from Yi Jing and rush to the nest to put out the fire. />
Although Taishi Ci's victory report has not yet arrived, the Wuhuan people suddenly left Yijing in a hurry. Such an abnormal behavior was enough for Yan Liang to conclude that Taishi Ci had won.
"Once the Wuhuan people left, Yi Jing's troops were empty. Your Majesty, it's time for us to use our troops in large numbers." Pang Tong raised his hands and said seriously.
Yan Liang threw the fishing rod on the ground and said boldly: "Quickly convey my decree and summon all the generals to the imperial tent to discuss matters."
On the south bank, Yan Liang was full of fighting spirit, but in Yi Jingzhong on the north bank, Liu Bei was terrified.
The news that Tadun left without saying goodbye was like a blow to the head, making Liu Bei dizzy and almost fainted.
The news of Yuyang's fiasco was enough for Liu Suo. Now that the Wuhuan people have left, wouldn't it be even worse?
"Taodun left in a hurry. He must have received news of the defeat and thought that the Chu army was going to attack Liaoxi, so he hurried back north to save his lair." Zhuge Liang said profoundly.
Liu Bei's heart was shocked again. Only then did he realize that Yan Liang had a plan. Now this plan was to lure Tao Dun to leave Yi Jing, but it was to drain him from the bottom of the cauldron.
Liu Bei didn't have time to think too much, so he hurriedly rode out of the city, looked north and ran wildly, trying to catch up with Taodun.
After chasing for more than ten miles, Liu Bei finally caught up with Wuhuan's team.
Seeing that Tatton, Liu Bei shouted: "Chanyu, where are you going? Why don't you say hello to me and go alone?"
When Taodun saw Liu Bei chasing him, his already gloomy expression became even more gloomy.
"Western Liaoning is threatened by the Chu army. Of course, this Shanyu rushed back to his hometown to protect my Wuhuan people." Tadun replied angrily.
Liu Bei said anxiously: "This is a treacherous plan by the Yan thief. It is to induce the Great Chanyu to leave Yi Jing, so that the Yan thief can take advantage of the opportunity to attack Yi Jing. The Great Danyu must not fall into the Yan thief's scheme."
"This Shanyu only knows that his hometown is in danger and must be rescued, regardless of whether it is the treacherous plot of the Yan thief." Tadun was determined to leave, completely ignoring Liu Bei's explanation.
Liu Bei became anxious now, and said with a grimace: "We had an alliance beforehand, and the Great Chanyu promised to help me defend Yijing. Now if the Great Chanyu breaks the contract and leaves, wouldn't it mean that I am in a desperate situation of fighting alone.
"
"You still have the nerve to say that this Chanyu just wanted to help you fight against the enemy. I lost tens of thousands of Wuhuan warriors in vain. I don't care whether there is an alliance or not. You can take care of it yourself."
Taodun choked Liu Bei very rudely, and then ignored him, turning his horse and galloping away to the north.
The Wuhuan people ran wildly. They passed by Liu Bei, and the dust kicked up by the horses' hooves hit Liu Bei's face.
Liu Bei could only stand there in embarrassment, watching the Wuhuan people walk away, leaving only dust on his head.
After being lost for a long time, the figure of the Wuhuan man was already far away. Liu Bei cursed Taodun bitterly. Then he returned to Yi Jing in despair.
At this time, the news of Yuyang's defeat had already spread throughout the army, and the 40,000-strong Han army was already panicked and in turmoil.
The departure of the Wuhuan people at this time hit these Han troops who had low morale even more. They felt that they were in a situation of fighting alone, and they were all terrified.
Liu Bei returned to Yijing. He repeatedly comforted the soldiers, but to no avail. Rumors and terror spread like a plague in the Han camp.
Liu Bei was helpless, and Zhuge Liang was also at his wits end and had no clue.
The whole Han army was in panic.
But at this time, in the Chu camp on the south bank of Yishui River, the fighting spirit was high and the fighting spirit was burning wildly.
The news of the expeditionary army's great victory in Yuyang made the 250,000 Chu soldiers extremely excited. Everyone was eager to try and strive for meritorious deeds.
Yan Liang summoned the generals and announced his intention to launch a general attack on the spot.
In the afternoon, 250,000 well-fed soldiers came out of camp one after another, like rivers, rushing towards the bank of Yishui.
On the shore, thousands of rafts were ready, and the generals commanded the soldiers and horses to board the rafts, preparing to launch a full-scale river crossing operation.
Yan Liang was sitting on a red rabbit horse, with a sword hanging from his waist. He stood on the river beach like an iron tower, scanning the line along the river for his endless soldiers.
Xunxun's murderous intent circulated crazily on Yan Liang's face.
After waiting and watching for a long time, Yan Liang raised his horse whip and shouted loudly: "Pass my decree, the whole army will cross the river and raze Yi Jing for me!"
Dong dong dong~~
The high-pitched sound of war drums soared into the sky, countless flags moved like the wind, and the loud sound of horns shook the sky.
From west to east, thousands of rafts came out along the river bank that stretched for more than ten miles, and more than 200,000 troops simultaneously launched a forceful attack across the river.
Looking down from the air, the densely packed Chu army surged toward the north bank overwhelmingly, almost covered by the Yishui River. The ambitious shouts of killing actually drowned out the sound of the roaring water.
The Chu army crossed all directions together!
In Yijing City, Liu Bei and his ministers were still at a loss as Wuhuan's army left.
The atmosphere of great anxiety filled the golden palace of Nuo Da.
"Report~~" With panicked shouts, the scouts rushed into the palace and said, "Your Majesty, the Chu army from the south has come out in full force and is rushing to the north bank in ten directions."
Liu Bei was horrified, and all the officials present, including Zhuge Liang, were horrified.
Without thinking too much, Liu Bei hurried out of the palace and rushed to the south gate of Yijing, followed by all the officials.
When I climbed up to the south gate and looked up into the distance, I saw that it was indeed the Yishui River that stretched for more than ten miles. The war flags of the Chu State were flying like the wind, and countless rafts were galloping towards the north bank.
The thundering drums, the ferocious killing sounds, and the solemn trumpets deeply stimulated the frightened hearts of the Han monarchs and ministers.
"Quick, send troops quickly to stop the Chu thieves for me~~" The frightened Liu Bei screamed hysterically.
After the order was passed, the Han generals woke up from their panic. Zhang Xiu, Han Meng, Hao Zhao and other Han generals killed Yi Jing in the trenches one after another, and led the Han army to the north bank.
On the north bank directly opposite Yi Jing, Xu Huang, the newly surrendered general, stood at the head of the raft, urging his soldiers as fast as the wind.
At the shore, Zhang Xiu led less than three thousand Han troops. He rushed to the shore in a hurry. He didn't even have time to form a formation, so he randomly fired arrows at the approaching Chu troops in the water.
"Raise your shield and speed up the general's advance!" Xu Huang roared sternly, waving his battle ax to block the rain of arrows coming like locusts.
On the first two hundred rafts, the Chu soldiers who dared to die quickly raised their large shields high into the air, forming walls of tortoise shells. They bravely galloped against the rain of falling arrows.
One hundred steps...
Fifty steps...
Twenty steps...
The raft Xu Huang was on was the first to rush to the north bank. Xu Huang swung his big ax at the iron curtain to open a path. The soldiers on the raft covering the raft jumped onto the river beach with their big shields held high.
The Han army's arrows came intensively, but they were all blocked by Xu Huang. More than thirty Chu soldiers successfully boarded the North Bank River beach, quickly formed a shield formation, stood still, and created a landing site.
Immediately afterwards, the rafts behind them rushed onto the river beach one after another, and more and more Chu soldiers came ashore continuously to join the shield formation, expanding the landing position on the beach.
Although Zhang Xiu arrived at the shore in time, he had too few troops and no cavalry to break through the Chu army. Although he tried his best, he still could not stop the Chu army from forcibly landing ten times the size.
Not long after Xu Huang landed on the beach, the Chu army had broken through the river beach more than a mile wide in front. In a short time, nearly 10,000 Chu troops rushed to the north bank of Yishui River.
"Warriors of Da Chu, charge forward and raze Yi Jing -" Xu Huang roared like a lion and charged out first, brandishing his battle ax.
The Chu army that landed on the beach rushed toward the Han army like tigers and wolves.
Xu Huang took the lead, sweeping out his battle ax and slashing the three panicked Han soldiers away with the momentum of breaking through the mountain.
Flying all over the sky, Xu Huang tried his best to kill like crazy, as if he wanted to take revenge for the day Liu Bei treated him as an abandoned son and abandoned him in Anguo City.
The thrilling Han army of three to four thousand could not stop the Chu army from landing. How could they withstand the Chu army's full attack now?
The Han troops along the coast instantly collapsed, their limbs were broken into pieces, and they fled in all directions, howling like ghosts and wolves.
"Stop, don't retreat. Anyone who dares to escape will be killed immediately!" Zhang Xiu yelled with his spear raised, trying to stop the rout.
However, when it reached this point, even if Zhang Xiu personally killed several people, he could not stop the collapse like a dam.
Not only Zhang Xiu's position, but also the rest of Han Meng's and Hao Zhao's troops were defeated by the Chu army, which had ten times the strength. The entire position on the north bank of Yishui was lost. The tens of thousands of panicked Han troops just ran away with their heads in their hands.
Zhang Xiu could not stop the defeat, so he had no choice but to follow the defeated army, abandon the river bank, and retreat towards the Yijinggou defense line in the north.
The seemingly insurmountable Yishui was defeated by the Chu army within an hour.
Thousands of Chu troops crossed the river one after another. In less than half a day, 150,000 people crossed the river.
Yan Liang also drove across the river, placed his imperial tent on the north bank of Yishui, and placed the umbrella canopy symbolizing the emperor's dignity on the high tree on the north bank.
Not long after crossing the river, Yan Liang took advantage of this momentum and ordered an all-out attack on Yijing's defense line.
The Chu army, as fierce as the tide, rushed towards Yi Jing with high fighting spirit.
On top of Yijing City, Liu Bei was dumbfounded. Seeing the Chu army crossing the river easily and defeating his own troops, Liu Bei's fighting spirit was almost destroyed.
On the second day of the attack, urgent reports for help came from various camps. Every half an hour, bad news came that a camp had collapsed.
The Han army, which was outnumbered and outnumbered, was almost vulnerable to a single blow. The carefully constructed defense lines of Yi Jing were broken through layer by layer by the Chu army like a flock of defeated soldiers.
Seeing the Chu army rapidly approaching the main city of Yijing, Liu Bei's fighting spirit finally collapsed. He could no longer hold on, and immediately decided to take his wife and children with him and flee to Jixian County.
"Your Majesty, if Yi Jing is lost, the Han Dynasty will be in danger. Your Majesty cannot withdraw~~" Zhuge Liang persuaded him bitterly, and even pulled Liu Bei's sleeve.
However, Liu Bei broke away Zhuge Liang's hand and said in a deep voice: "Who said that I will abandon the defense of Yijing? I am issuing an order now, ordering you, Prime Minister, to lead the army to defend Yijing. I am rushing to Jixian to recruit troops. Very soon.
Will come back soon to reinforce the Prime Minister."
Liu Bei said, shook off Zhuge Liang, climbed onto his horse in a panic, and ran towards the north without looking back.
