When Zhao Shan heard what Qin Zhong said, he smiled and said: "Qin Zhong, our camp is stationed on the south bank of Huangshui River, and Yunwu County is also on the south bank. When you attack, leave Modao Camp, Xuanjia Army and three thousand infantry behind. I, you don’t need to worry about the safety of the rear.”
"I accept your order!"
Qin Zhong turned around and went to mobilize his troops.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Qin Zhong led his army straight towards Yunwu County. Various offensive equipment such as catapults and engineering vehicles launched their attacks one after another, and the offensive was like a wave.
Zhao Shan ignored Yunwu County's attack and led his people to the ferry dock of Huangshui. He led Modao Camp, Xuanjia Army and soldiers into formation. He looked at the Xiliang army guarding the north bank with a smile in his eyes. .
What would Shi Jian do?
How would Yao Qian force Shi Jian?
Zhao Shan waited quietly.
Meanwhile, word had reached the North Shore.
Shi Jian got the news in the shortest possible time and quickly deployed the defense of the camp.
In the Chinese army's tent.
Yao Qian also got the news and became excited.
The war is coming, the opportunity is coming!
Yao Qian's goal is to force Shi Jian to take the initiative to fight.
Of course, he also had to maintain his own image and use certain means to force Shi Jian to fight.
After Yao Qian thought clearly, he asked: "General Shi, Zhao Shan has arranged a large army to attack Yunwu County. Currently, a large number of people are attacking Yunwu County, and Zhao Shan has troops blocking the river bank. How should we deal with it?" "
Shi Jian had already prepared a draft and said calmly: "Reporting to the Crown Prince, I advise you to hold on and not leave the county."
Yao Gan frowned and said: "If we ignore it, when Yunwu County falls, Jincheng County will be shaken. The news will spread to Xiliang, which will further cause Xiliang to be shaken. Can General Shi bear such a responsibility?"
Shi Jian explained: "Prince, if you rush to fight now, you may have fallen into Zhao Shan's plan. Zhao Shan did not cross the river, but instead attacked Yunwu County, just to mobilize us."
Yao Qian's eyes were brighter than ever before and he continued: "I agree with General Shi's analysis."
Shi Jian breathed a sigh of relief.
What he was afraid of was that Yao Qian insisted on having his own way and insisted on letting him attack.
Shi Jian cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Prince, for your understanding."
Yao Qian smiled and continued: "General Shi, you and I are fighting for Great Liang. I have another worry, or question."
Shi Jian said: "Prince, please speak!"
Yao Qian quickly said: "We came to Yunwu County, and Yunwu County supported each other, and we acted as a sibling force. The so-called sibling force meant that we were attacked, and Yunwu County wanted to send troops to share some of the burden for us. pressure. In other words, if Yunwu County is attacked, we will also send troops to help, so that Yunwu County can share part of the pressure and contain Zhao Shan. Right?"
Shi Jian said: "That's right."
Yao Gan further said: "Yunwu County is under attack. General Shi doesn't care. What's the point of us staying here? Once Yunwu County falls, will the situation we face be better than now? Can we hold it? The north bank of Huangshui River?"
Shi Jian fell silent.
Yao Qian was overjoyed when he saw Shi Jian being silent.
Before coming, Kang Yongyuan carefully analyzed possible situations for him.
Even without Yunwu County, Yao Qian would have found other reasons and used what he just said to force Shi Jian to take the initiative to fight.
Yao Qian further said: "General Shi, I have fought against Zhao Shan before, and I know that Zhao Shan is very powerful and difficult to deal with. But no matter how powerful Zhao Shan is, Yunwu County is under attack, so we must give it a try, what do you think? ?”
Shi Jian was encouraged by Yao Qian and thought that he should support Yunwu County.
The plan is this.
But he was cautious in nature, so he thought about it and said: "The prince's analysis is reasonable, but I think that we cannot send troops immediately, and we have to wait and see."
Yao Qian was a little angry.
Shi Jian is really stubborn. For this reason, he still wants to wait and see.
Yao Qian stopped pretending, and his expression turned cold: "General Shi will continue to wait and see. I have no objection. It's just whether Yunwu County can afford to wait. It's hard to predict. If because of our waiting and watching, Yunwu County will fall." General Shi will take full responsibility for the fall, and I will also report to my father to explain everything clearly."
Shi Jian fell into silence.
Shou!
war!
Each has advantages and disadvantages.
Yao Qian's expression softened again and he comforted him: "General Shi, at least we have to arrange some troops to rush for reinforcements. Even if it's just a show, we still have to do it."
"Otherwise, if the news comes back and Father is questioned, how will you and I explain it?"
"I'm not good at fighting, I'm not very talented, and I'm not a very powerful person. But I have fought with Zhao Shan many times, and I have a deep understanding of the principle of self-protection, so that no one can catch me."
Yao Qian asked: "What do you think?"
Shi Jian nodded solemnly and replied: "I understand what Your Highness said. I will immediately mobilize troops to join the battle and fight in a small area first."
"This is right!"
Yao Qian had a look of approval in his eyes.
Shi Jian bowed and left to make arrangements. However, when he walked out of the Chinese army tent and looked at Yao Qian's camp, he felt that Yao Qian was not a simple man.
Is this the rumored dark-tempered Yao Gan?
Why doesn't it look like it?
He felt that Yao Gan was pressing forward step by step, cutting his flesh with a blunt knife, forcing him to obey orders.
Shi Jian mobilized a group of soldiers to cross the river. Because warships had been prepared and the Huangshui River had passed its worst flood season, it was easier to cross the river. A large number of soldiers boarded boats to cross the river and headed for the other side of the river.
Zhao Shan noticed the arrival of the Xiliang Army's warships, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
coming!
The Xiliang Army is finally here!
Zhao Shan did not immediately arrange for Modao Camp to fight, nor did he mobilize the Xuanjia Army to attack. He simply dispatched two thousand ordinary soldiers to block the attack, and deliberately released water to allow more Xiliang troops to seize the beach and cross the river.
If he directly throws himself into the Modao camp and defeats the Xiliang army, Shi Jian may shrink back, and it will be difficult to lure Shi Jian to fight.
You have to give the other party a little sweetness.
At least, it gave Yao Qian a reason to urge the army to attack.
The soldiers under Zhao Shan steadily blocked the attack. As more and more Xiliang soldiers rushed to land on the beach, the Daqian infantry slowly retreated in an attitude of being defeated.
More and more Xiliang soldiers are rushing to land on the beach!
Yao Gan saw a large number of Xiliang troops landing and urged: "General Shi, send more troops over and fight hard."
“Can’t arrange too many people!”
Shi Nuoguo refused: "Too many people are arranged to go up now. If Zhao Shan's people counterattack, it will turn into a war."
Yao Qian did not discuss it anymore, but forcefully ordered: "The war in Yunwu County is still going on. What is the general afraid of?"
"Our troops have the advantage!"
"Zhao Shan's troops are weak now."
"You are a general. Don't you see that Zhao Shan doesn't have many troops on the north bank, and the main force is gathered in Yunwu County. If you don't attack at this time and are still timid, aren't you allowing Zhao Shan to capture Yunwu County?"
Yao Qian flicked his sleeves and ordered: "Pass this palace's order to send more soldiers across the river and attack directly."
Shi Jian raised his eyebrows.
Previously, Director Yao discussed everything, but now he is extremely forceful. It feels like he was deliberately tricked into going into battle before.
Only now is his true nature revealed.
Yao Gan stared at Shi Jian and continued: "General Shi Jian, you are my general in Xiliang. You must consider the overall situation and the direction of the entire battlefield."
"With Yunwu County sharing our pressure, we can attack Zhao Shan more easily."
"Without Yunwu County to share the pressure, our pressure will be very great. When Yunwu County is gone, it will be even more impossible to defeat Zhao Shan. To put it bluntly, now is the only chance."
Yao Qian immediately unsheathed his sword and ordered: "Go in person and organize an army to attack immediately!"
Shi Jian really didn't want to join the war, but Yao Qian was the commander, so he had no choice but to mobilize 20,000 infantrymen to intervene on the battlefield!
Shi Jian also personally directed the crossing of the river. When he arrived at the south bank of Huangshui River, he steadily advanced from the south bank.
Yao Qian stared at the battle on the south bank with hope in his eyes.
A large number of troops have crossed the river, and now it depends on Zhao Shan's methods.
Zhao Shan must win!
Zhao Shan had been waiting on the south bank. He saw a large number of Xiliang troops crossing the river and knew that the opportunity for war had come.
It's time to kill.
A flash of light flashed across Zhao Shan's eyes and he ordered: "Li Jiye!"
"The general is here!"
Li Jiye stepped forward with a fierce look in his eyes and a murderous aura surging throughout his body. He said loudly: "Everyone in Modao Camp, please respectfully request your Majesty's order!"
