Le Yi stood on a high platform, with halberds like a forest below and iron armor in the cold. There was no other sound in the entire school grounds except the sound of hunting wind.
Le Yi understood that this time was to serve King Yan, and it was also his chance to shine!
King Shen of Yan built the Golden Platform to recruit talents, and it was through this method that Le Yi entered the political arena of Yan. Le Yi is a true genius, whether it is to govern the country or command the army, he is the best choice.
If divided according to the system, Le Yi's internal affairs, commander-in-chief, and military strategy are all talents in his 90s. The fact that King Shen Neng of Yan met Le Yi can almost be said to have exhausted hundreds of years of Yan country's luck.
After Le Yi became the Prime Minister of the Yan State, it can be said that the Yan State has undergone earth-shaking changes in more than ten years. If he was given another thirty years, the population of Yan State would increase and be comparable to that of Qin State.
It is a pity that he was born at the wrong time and did not meet princes like Yan Wang Shen who were willing to believe in him earlier.
Le Yi commanded the army of Yan State to attack Qi. The elite troops of Qi State had already been mobilized to attack Huai State. There were not many elite soldiers left. This time Yan State attacked in a large scale. Qi State was no match at all. Le Yi Leading an army to defeat easily.
The news of Yan's attack made King Qi furious. You must know that in the past hundred years, the State of Yan has been suppressed and attacked by the State of Qi. In the past, only the State of Qi attacked the State of Yan. Now the State of Yan actually has the courage to attack the State of Qi.
The King of Qi immediately ordered Lu Jie to be the commander-in-chief and lead the remaining troops of Qi State to deal with Yan State.
Most of the land in the Qi State is flat, especially the area bordering the Yan State. It can be said to be a flat river with no mountains to block it. If the city is defended, it is likely to be defeated by the Yan State one by one.
So Lu Jie, the son of the Qi State, personally led the army to the west of Jishui to fight. However, the Huai State was able to fight with the last ditch because of the kindness of the Huai State official, the support of the soldiers, and the dedication of the soldiers. Therefore, they were able to defeat the Marquis of Zheng on the bank of the Huai River. .
And how does the current situation of Qi State compare with Huai State? Since the King of Qi came to the throne, he has increased all kinds of exorbitant taxes, built palaces, searched for beauties everywhere, and fought many battles to achieve great success. The people and soldiers did not agree with him at all, how could they be willing to fight to the death for him?
The Qi army's 100,000-strong army formed a formation with their backs to the water. Le Yi led the Yan army to the front of the formation and laughed. The deputy general next to him asked strangely: "Why is the general laughing?"
Le Yi pointed at the Qi army opposite and said: "Arrange with your back to the water and fight against the enemy. This young master, Lu Jie, really thinks he is Sun Wu. He thinks he can command a hundred thousand troops and dominate the world. Today, the world will see me. The warriors of Yan State are so powerful!"
Le Yi immediately commanded the army to attack. Although the Qi army was large, the command was far behind Le Yi's. Le Yi only arranged some feint attacks, and easily mobilized the Qi army to dispatch, and then the army took the opportunity to attack its weaknesses.
Young Master Lu Jie commanded the army several times, but Le Yi predicted it in advance, and then wanted to change the formation temporarily, but he forgot that changing the formation at the last moment, either had absolute confidence in his soldiers, or he was looking for death.
How could Le Yi let go of such a flaw and immediately ordered the army to press forward. The Qi army could not resist and was quickly overwhelmed.
On the battlefield, the shouts of killing were loud. Lu Jie continued to command the army to resist, but was defeated by Le Yi one after another. Countless arrows rained down from the sky. The Yan troops wearing iron armor were not afraid of death, and stabbed the Qi troops in front of them to the ground. The rumbling war drums sounded, and the Yan army came like a tide.
Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the screams and killing cries were deafening. The Qi troops in front were like cutting wheat, falling down in rows. A large number of Qi soldiers could not bear the pressure and fled.
The Qi army fled one after another, and the entire military formation collapsed quickly. Soon the Qi army could no longer hold on, and was defeated like a mountain. A large number of Qi troops dropped their weapons and fled, but what was disappointing was that behind them was Jishui. Countless people jumped into Jishui and tried to swim across, but many people were so panicked that they did not throw away their armor at all, and were directly dragged in by the armor. in water.
Seeing the collapse of the army, Lu Jie wanted to escape, but was blocked by the river. He had no choice but to take off his armor, swim across the river with his horse, and finally escaped.
But he himself escaped, but the Qi army suffered a disastrous defeat. In the end, only one-tenth of the Qi army escaped, and countless surrendered. The 100,000-strong army was wiped out in one fell swoop.
Le Yi destroyed 100,000 Qi troops in one battle, which shocked the whole Qi State. Other officials and nobles of Qi State did not dare to fight with him, and they guarded the city and did not dare to move rashly.
Le Yi didn't care about these people, and directly led his army to chase Qi Guojun's army all the way to Linzi.
The news of the defeat of the Qi army was soon known to the Huai State. The secret guards lurking in the Qi State passed the news to the prince Wang Ji. After seeing that the Qi State was completely wiped out by the Yan State, the prince Ji immediately realized that, The time has come to break through.
Prince Ji immediately ordered people to reorganize the army and defeat the Qi army. The news that the Yan State was attacking Qi State's cities and territories sent bows and arrows into the Qi State camp.
Qi General Tian Cheng didn't believe it at first, thinking these were rumors, so he personally refuted the rumors to the soldiers below. Tian Chengnai was the successor of Tian Pan, a famous general of Qi State, who was very prestigious in the army. With him as a guarantee, the soldiers of Qi State quickly settled down.
But the next day, the messenger from Qi State came in a hurry. When Tian Cheng saw that the Qi army was really defeated by Yan State, he felt as if he was struck by lightning, and murmured: "How could it be like this? How could it be like this?" ?”
"General, hurry up and send troops to rescue Linzi. The Yan army is besieging the city and Linzi is in danger!" the messenger on the side urged.
Tian Cheng's expression changed and he said sternly: "No!"
"Quickly send someone to guard the courier and his party. Don't let the soldiers in the camp come into contact with them!"
The deputy general next to him hurriedly ran out to deliver the order, but it was already too late. The news of the Qi army's defeat spread rapidly in the camp and could not be stopped at all.
What makes people even more desperate is that Tian Cheng used his own prestige as a guarantee the day before yesterday, but turned around and found that it was true. This made the soldiers of Qi no longer trust Tian Cheng at all.
And what will be the final fate of the commander who has lost his trust?
The morale of the Qi army was unstable, and everyone wanted to return home. Tian Cheng finally had to agree to return. But Young Master Ji had already prepared, so how could he let Qi Jun leave?
Just as the Qi troops were pulling out their camps and retreating, Prince Ji immediately led his troops to attack. Tian Cheng continued to command the army to resist, but it had no effect at all. The Qi army was morally depleted and no one could resist at all. Huai State easily defeated the Qi army.
Immediately afterwards, Gongzi Cheng pursued the Qi army all the way, and a large number of Qi soldiers were killed or surrendered. The Huai cavalry attacked and charged directly into the center of the Qi army. The soldiers around Tian Cheng also fled in large numbers and were easily scattered by the Huai army's cavalry. Even Tian Cheng was captured alive by the Huai army.
