(Add a note, there will be a large-scale war in the later period, so I won’t continue writing about it.)
Early the next morning, Jiang Lin was in the mansion.
Yang Yizhi sat in the middle with an extremely complicated expression.
"Your Highness," the scout said with a tired look, "our army has densely built sharpened wooden fences around the camp, but without any warning, last night's heavy rain caused the water level to rise again, cutting off the connection between our camps.
They attacked the northern camps first, and the timing was completely unexpected. "
"Where are your scouts?" Yang Yizhi asked angrily, "Did they not see anything? Didn't they give you any warning?"
The bloody scout shook his head. "The rain is too loud!"
"The rain is so loud that you can't hear. Are you blind too? You can't see anything!" Yang Yizhi's generals said angrily, "Give me an order to dig out their eyes and hand them over to the substitute scouts." Tell him .
"Hopefully four eyes can see better than two... If he still can't, then the next guy will have six."
"When will the night attack be launched?" Yang Yizhi asked again.
"Yinshi," the visitor replied tiredly. "The vanguard was led by the general named Liu Mo, who cut down our guards and cleared the fence to facilitate the main attack.
By the time our men came to their senses, the opposing cavalry had jumped over the ditch and rushed into the camp with swords and torches in hand.
I slept in Xizhai, a place between two rivers. The people on our side heard the fighting and saw the tent on fire. General Li led everyone into the boat and wanted to row to the other side to rescue.
But as soon as they got on the boat, they discovered a large enemy force on the north bank of the Jianghun River! I saw with my own eyes that one boat was smashed to pieces, three others overturned, and the people on board were swept into the river and drowned!
Nanzhai was commanded by General Zhang. Seeing that adjacent positions were being lost, he led his 2,000 spearmen and 2,000 archers to retreat westward in an orderly manner. "
Yang Yizhi's face was so gloomy, "That's enough, step back!"
The scout immediately obeyed the order and left.
"Where did they get the troops?" One of Yang Yizhi's men looked incredulous.
"The one outside the city." Yang Yizhi told him. "The one that attacked the city yesterday afternoon!"
"What? How is this possible! Is the general Bai Chengzong?" The general couldn't believe his ears. "This man is cautious, how could he do such a crazy thing? He is not afraid of me and others fighting out of the city!"
He wanted to say that Liu Mo only had 40,000 troops, and there were 30,000 Zhou Dynasty elite troops in Jianglin City. The main force of Daxia on the other side of the river could not get through. As long as he left the city and cooperated with the Zhou Dynasty's main force on the south bank of the river to attack from both sides, he would be able to completely annihilate the opponent. .
Yang Yizhi smiled, the commander was not Bai Chengzong, but Liu Mo!
I underestimated you again. You took advantage of my temper and made sure I didn't dare to leave the city!
"A true military god must not only be familiar with military literature, but also know how to adapt flexibly on the battlefield." Yang Yizhi told him, "This time, he has clearly understood our characters and predicted that we would not dare to go out in full force.
Decide immediately, take control of the situation, and make such a bold decision. "
"Your Highness, don't let other people's ambitions destroy your own prestige!"
"Give you such an opportunity, do you dare to give up the natural danger of Jiang Lincheng and go out to fight in the field?"
"Your Highness, I..." The general was speechless. "May I ask, Your Highness, how should we respond?"
Yang Yizhi was silent for a long time, then slowly raised his head and announced: "Withdraw the troops and fight again next year!"
"The outcome of two battles does not determine the success or failure of the entire war," said a Zhou Dynasty general. "We are far from defeated. I am happy to compete with this boy named Liu Mo on the battlefield in person."
"Our opponent is not this kid." Yang Yizhi told him, "Their main force has already crossed the river, and a protracted war will be detrimental to our army!"
"Your Highness, our army has enough food and grass to last for two years."
"What if the enemy cuts off the Ningxi Corridor? What should we do?"
The Zhou Dynasty general snorted contemptuously, "If the soldiers come to cover up the water and the earth, there is nothing to fear!"
Yang Yizhi rolled his eyes, "No one will question your bravery, but I have made up my mind, no need to say more!"
After saying that, he glanced into the distance, "Liu Mo, Liu Mo, do you think you won? Humph, the contest between you and me has just begun!"
~~~
After the battle, Liu Mo rode a tall war horse through the fields filled with corpses. Zhu Min and Lu Sheng followed closely behind them, talking and laughing with each other.
He rode through the battlefield. The dying horses raised their heads and neighed at him. Some of the injured groaned and some begged for mercy. A large number of Daxia troops specializing in relieving the injured shuttled through it, harvesting countless heads from the dead and dying.
There were also young soldiers running behind them, who pulled arrows from the corpses and put them into baskets for reuse.
A fire broke out in Jianglin City, and plumes of black smoke billowed up into the blue sky.
"He really retreated?" Liu Mo still couldn't believe it.
This issue has been repeatedly confirmed, Zhou Chao really retreated!
Yang Yizhi left two thousand troops to garrison Jianglin City before withdrawing, in order to contain Daxia's army.
The eldest prince was eager to accomplish his feats and asked the sixth prince to attack the city while he led his troops in pursuit.
This guy will definitely not give up, and his next attack will be even more fierce!
The war was coming to an end and ended with the victory of the Great Xia Dynasty, but Liu Mo was worried because he had too many "problems" in this war.
The layout of Jiang Lincheng Government Office is not much different from that of Rongcheng County Government Office, but it has been baptized by the flames of war and is now riddled with holes and devastation.
Two guards in golden armor stood in the government hall, one on the left and one on the right looking at the door.
Liu Mo recognized the sixth prince's guard captain, "Is your highness here?"
"Just in the hall, Mr. Liu!"
He walked into the government office and immediately saw the sixth prince.
"I've met His Highness!" Liu Mo saluted him.
The Sixth Prince looked at Liu Mo meaningfully, and then said, "You are so courageous!"
"Your Highness, which one are you referring to?" Liu Mo tried to avoid the topic, "I left five hundred people outside Jianglin City to confuse the enemy, so that they would not dare to go out to fight!"
"You did a good job in making this decision!" The Sixth Prince first acted like Liu Mo, "However, I asked about a few other things!"
"Several things...do you want to tell me all now?" Liu Mo frowned when he heard this.
"If you have a bad memory, I will remind you!" The sixth prince said, pointing to Bai Chengzong aside, "In addition to doing business, making salt, and fighting, Liu Mo, you also have medical skills.
Even the military doctors couldn't tell it was wind-cold, but you figured it out?
Huh, you are here to imprison General Bai and falsely pass on military orders. Who gave you the courage? "
Liu Mo immediately bowed and said, "This subordinate deserves death!"
The Sixth Prince stared at him for a moment, so coldly that he trembled. "It's not a matter of death. Giving you three feet of white silk is enough!"
"Your Highness, we are the ones who caused the disaster. If you want to punish me or kill me, I, Old Zhu, will be the one!" Zhu Min immediately knelt down and said, "It's just that I have been in the army for decades. This is the first time I have heard of such military exploits. You will also be punished. If you don’t accept it! If you don’t accept it!”
"Yes, even the one named Lu is not convinced!" Lu Sheng immediately agreed, "Your Highness wants to kill the general. If the general frowns, he can't be considered a hero. However, if Gao Qi, that beast, commits such a heinous crime, it will not be a good man." If you can atone for your sins with merit...I won’t accept it!”
"Okay, okay, okay. Since you three want to die, I will help you!" The sixth prince's face darkened, "Here comes someone!"
