Chapter 771 Ambush Battle in Guanshi City! Yesterday's hatred is like a thorn in the back!
Above the big river, waves hit the boat.
Yan Dan stood on the bow of the big-winged boat with his hands on his back. His expression lost a bit of the suave, chic and extravagant look he once had, and became a bit more serious and frowning.
"Prince!" Yan Badger walked to Yan Dan's side and spoke in a low voice: "According to reports from the scouts who stayed around Neihuang, the Qin army that crossed the river from Tunshi City had many flags and many stoves. , It looks like a large army."
"But this Qin army did not pursue our army, but advanced directly into Neihuang City."
"The general thought that this army might be deceitful!"
Although the Qin army met the specifications of 80,000 soldiers and horses in terms of banners, stove fires and camp camps, they actually watched helplessly as Yan Dan led his army to escape. Don’t chase them all the way.
This is not Ying Chengyu’s style!
Yan Dan's already tired eyes became a little more tired. After thinking for a moment, he asked in a deep voice: "What Deputy General Yan said makes sense!"
"Vice General Yan thought Lord Qin Chang'an Where now? ”
Yan Badger was startled for a moment, then shook his head: "I don't know, general!"
"General, I just think that the battle situation is beyond our army's control, and our army may have fallen into the Qin army's plan!"
< br>Let the general predict Ying Chengyu's movements when he is completely at a disadvantage in the scout battle?
Will the last match be matched?
It’s better if you bring Li Mu over!
The look of concentration in Yan Dan's eyes deepened, and he held his right hand on the railing and said in a deep voice: "Our army does not know the movements of Lord Qin Chang'an, but Lord Qin Chang'an certainly does not know the movements of our army!"
"No matter what Lord Qin Chang'an decides, No matter what kind of strategy we have, as long as our army can take the lead in joining forces with all the troops before Lord Qin Changan's plan is finalized, or even swallow up all the soldiers and horses of Lord Qin Chang'an."
"Our army will definitely. Victory!"
"Send the order to the whole army, speed up!"
"I will stay in Guanshi City tonight!"
A group of generals rushed to take orders.
A famous oarsman rowed the oar with all his strength, causing the warship to move eastward like a fish under the dual effects of the current and the oar.
At dusk, Guanshi Harbor is finally in sight.
Looking at the head of Guanshi City and the Yan State flag flying high above Guanshi Port, Yan Dan felt slightly relieved.
Yan Badger frowned slightly: "According to our military report, Captain Yan'an said that after the surrender of Guanshi City, Guanshi City will still be managed by the former Zhao Guanshi County Magistrate Guanyong."
"Now that our army has arrived at Guanshi City, why doesn't this man come to the port to greet us?!"
When the prince and generals of the dynasty arrived with their armies, there were no enemy troops around, so how could the county magistrate here? It's time to go out of the city to greet you.
This is not only to be polite and courteous, but also to connect various local resources and various urban defense facilities with Yandan as quickly as possible, so that Yandan can formulate further plans and save money. Seize the time and seize the opportunity.
As a surrendered minister who temporarily takes over his original post, Guan Yong should be more cautious, but why does he not go out of the city to greet him?
Yan Badger felt something was wrong, and Yan Dan was also a little unhappy.
But Yan Dan waved his hand with an air of grandeur: "Guan County Magistrate, I have heard about him for a long time."
"He is a generous and righteous person, and he often entertains knights from all walks of life."
"Whenever I encounter a talented person who is in trouble, he is generous in giving money and food. He is a famous person in Zhao who covers up extravagance." That’s all.”
“Send the order, the whole army comes ashore”
Forgive him for his minor rudeness, let's drink, chat, and treat each other with generous gifts. How can he still master Guan Yong?
Seeing this, Yan Badger wanted to persuade him, but in the end he changed his mind and said: "Although Guanshi City has surrendered, it is still the old Zhao City and has not been taken over by our officials of Great Yan."
< br>"The general believes that the front army should be ordered to go ashore first and form an array."
"Then he will order all the troops to go ashore."
"In this way, we will be safe."
Yan Dan nodded casually and said: "Then it will be as Lieutenant General Yan said."
Under the organization of Yan Badger, Yan Army's former warships entered the port one after another, and 30,000 Yan Army troops disembarked one after another and quickly ran out Port range.
After the front army formed square formations on the north side of the port, the Yan army's central army rowed towards the port.
However, the warship Yan Dan was riding had just arrived at the port when a burst of thunder suddenly sounded.
No!
Not thunder!
It’s the uniform sound of bowstrings exploding!
"Boom!!!"
Yan Dan suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw fifty thousand Qin troops emerging from the woods on both sides of Guanshi Port northwest and northeast. .
More than ten thousand flaming crossbow arrows are shooting out from the first row of Qin army's crossbows.
After streaking across the sky like a meteor, it crashed down on the Yan army fleet at the port!
Farther back, twenty catapults were slowly pushed out of the dense forest.
The long arm was raised high, driving the clay pots in the bamboo basket to splash towards the port!
Two flaming crossbow arrows were nailed to the bow of Yan Dan's flagship, saturating the wooden boards around him with scorching heat and high temperature.
When a clay pot shatters near the fire crossbow, thick oil flows, and the fire rises uncontrollably!
"The enemy is attacking!!!"
"Our army has fallen into the trap!"
"The Qin army is attacking! Open the sandbox and quickly get the sand to put out the fire!"
>"Ah! My robe is on fire, help quickly! Help, help!"
"It's too late! The fire spreads too fast, there's no time to put it out! Abandon the ship quickly and dive to land!"
>
With just one shot, more than ten warships were ignited by flames. Although the direct damage caused by the flames was not great, the more than ten burning warships filled the entire port area with flames, making it difficult for subsequent Yan Army warships to land through the port.
More importantly, this round of ejection announced a fact to all Yan troops.
The Qin army is coming!
Yan Dan looked in disbelief at the large bamboo pole coming out of the dense forest in the southwest, and cried out: "Impossible!"
"How could Lord Qin Chang'an guess that Gu Yi wanted to go to Guanshi City, or even laid an ambush here early?!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
"Gu Yi's move should be beyond all expectations. It’s unexpected!”
Yan Dan originally thought that the central armies of the Qin and Yan armies should be in a double-blind state.
Yan Dan doesn’t know Ying Chengxuan’s location, and Ying Chengxuan doesn’t know Yan Dan’s location either.
Yan Dan could not accept it no matter what, his plan that exceeded the generals' expectations and claimed to be a divine hand would be known to Ying Chengyu early.
Yan Dan’s troops haven’t even landed yet, but Ying Chengyu has already laid out an ambush here!
"Boom!!!"
Qin Jun didn't care about Yan Dan's thoughts. The second round of fire arrows had already shot out, and the arm of the catapult also began to slowly press down. Get ready to throw out a second round of clay pots.
The swallow badger saw this and shouted: "Prince!"
"The flagship has caught fire!"
"Please let the prince know whether our army is advancing or retreating!"
Yan Dan said without hesitation: "Immediately send orders to the left, right, and The three armies retreated and used sand and earth to put out the fire on the flagship. "
"Wait until they withdraw from the range of the Qin army's catapults and then transfer..."
However, Yan Dan did not wait for the order. After saying that, a rapid drumbeat suddenly sounded.
"Dong dong dong~~~"
Yan Dan looked back in horror and saw a naval force flying the flag of the Qin army coming upstream from the lower reaches of the Yellow River.
More than a hundred small-wing warships emerged from the southern waterway and rushed towards the Yan army.
Before the Yan Army’s rear troops could form their formation, more than a hundred small wings had already rushed into the vicinity of the Yan Army’s ships, fighting at close quarters!
Yan Dan's eyes darkened, and he sighed bitterly: "Qin Chang'an Lord, you don't want to give Gu Gu any chance to escape!"
Yan Dan's first reaction was to abandon the front army and lead his troops to escape.
But the appearance of the Qin Navy made Yan Dan realize the fact more clearly that Ying Chengyu might have set up an ambush in Guanshi City earlier than Yan Dan expected.
He really wanted to escape, but it was a pity that how could he escape from the encirclement carefully arranged by Ying Chengyu!
“Since we can’t leave, then we won’t leave!”
With the retreat route cut off, Yan Dan felt cruel and shouted angrily: “Pass this order to me!”
"The front army covers our army!"
"The whole army forces a landing!"
Seeing that the Yan army finally left Dayi, surrounded by the Yan army's middle army, they marched towards the Yan army. The troops gathered and left.
Seeing that the left and right troops of the Yan army drove their boats directly into the river bank, trying to land on the shoal, Ying Chengyu tapped his horse's back with his fingers and murmured softly: "It is still a bit decisive."
“What a pity.”
If Yan Dan directly leads his troops to retreat, they will be chased by Cen Bian's troops along the way. Meng Wu's troops only need to struggle for a while, and Ying Chengyu will lead the main force. Arrive and form an encirclement and annihilation of the Yan army with Meng Wu's troops!
But what if Yan Dan leads the troops to land?
Ying Chengyu drove his horses forward and shouted loudly: "Prince Dan of Yan sent assassins to assassinate my king. Fortunately, my king Yingwu killed the assassin himself."
"This is a disgrace to my king. ! ”
“This hatred is on my back!”
"The hatred of the ministers can only be extinguished by the blood of the murderer!"
Listening to Ying Chengyu's words, all the generals of Great Qin had cold expressions on their faces and anger in their eyes.
The death of a master who humiliates his ministers is never an empty talk!
Reining his horse and turning around to look back at the army, Ying Chengyu shouted angrily: "And today, the murderer of the king's assassin is right in front of our army!"
"What should our army do?!"
All the Qin troops roared in unison: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Ying Chengyu roared: "Pass this general's order!"
"Anyone who can get the head of Prince Yan Dan , you can get half of the general's profit from this battle, and then I will personally recommend it to the king to help him ascend to a high position!"
"The other half of the general's profit from this battle is also a reward. All brave men can take it!”
It was only the generals of the Qin army who had the intention to fight.
But when Ying Chengyu offered the reward, all the soldiers of the Qin army gasped.
In this battle, Ying Chengyu destroyed the State of Zhao!
How much loot can Ying Chengyu get?
Ordinary people don’t even dare to think about it!
But now, they only need to cut off Yan Dan's head to own half of them!
Backed by great righteousness and holding interests in hand.
In just a few sentences, the morale of the Qin army has reached boiling point!
Looking at the Qin soldiers who wanted to rush out and chop off two heads right now, Ying Chengyu shouted in a deep voice: "Order!"
"The crossbowmen of each department replaced armored crossbow arrows. , diffuse the river bank, be sure to take advantage of the Yan army's landing to kill the enemy as much as possible!"
"Captain Mengtian's Division and Commander Meng Nan's Division, flank the Yan Army's front troops!"
"The Chinese army obeys the order!"
He reached out and took the halberd handed to him by the eighth husband. Ying Chengyu hissed and shouted: "Follow me behind me!"
"Kill the enemy! !”
