Vol 2 Chapter 642: Losing streak

"General, there is no one in the city!" At dawn next day, Li Yan waved his troops to attack again, but Yanjin City was won without any resistance. This made Li Yan a little surprised. The whole Yanjin City was overnight. A clean walk between them.
"Are you going to chase?" Wei Yan asked the horse to come to Li Yan and asked.
"No." Li Yan looked at the empty city and shook his head: "If you go so clean, you must be prepared. If I chase, I might be ambushed. I sent scouts to monitor the movements of the Wei army. Investigating Ge and Yan County, the main force retreated, but I do n’t know if this partial teacher is still there! "
Although he looked down on Liu Yi, but the character who could have suffered some losses under such a cautious situation, Li Yanke did not dare to carelessly, instinctively chose a steady and steady way.
"Well!" Wei Yan nodded. His view is similar to that of Li Yan. In terms of concept, in fact, Wei Yan and Li Yan have the same military concepts.
In the afternoon, the marching horse in front had returned and reported to Li Yanhui: "General, Yanxian thieves are empty, Chao Ge is still holding on, Wei Jun retreats to the direction of Liyang and starts to build a defense line near Baimajin!"
"Bai Majin?" Li Yan returned to the tent, looked at the model on the sand table, found Li Yang's direction, and frowned.
"The waterways in this area are vertical and horizontal, although the terrain is flat, but it is not easy to attack." Deng Ai frowned as he looked at the terrain.
"It's not easy to attack, but also to attack." Li Yan laughed coldly. The general direction of this battle is to break through Yecheng, to capture or avoid the Wei court, to gain the general trend. This time he can see that the emperor is for the of the world. In fact, it is not as plain as it seems on the surface. He has enough ambitions. For this ambition, he can put an end to all ridicules. Rather than engaging in conspiracies and tricks in the DPRK and China, it is better to prove on the battlefield that he is really stronger than Liu Yi. Where he can really suppress Liu Yi.
Li Yan is very clever, so he understands what is most needed for an ambitious emperor. Why does Liu Yi have a solid foundation but can win the trust and reuse of the emperors of the two dynasties?
Can open up the territory and expand the territory, and do not greedy the power, and always work from the perspective of the royal family or the world. Li Yan feels that he can do it, even better than Liu Yi, ridiculous Liu Yi will be so good Give yourself a chance!
It is the best chance to defeat the Wei Dynasty, and Li Yan also has his own plan. Pang Tong ’s way, although the manpower is similar, is only a partial division. As long as he wins here, the battlefield of the Central Plains will become insignificant. After all, the court was gone, and a fart.
The most important thing here is Sima Yi's soldiers. As long as he defeats Sima Yi, the entire Cao Wei court will have no barriers. At that time, not to mention Cao Shuang is still being pinned by Pang Tong. Even without this concern, Cao Shuang is difficult to short Internal rebate.
It seemed not too difficult to defeat Sima Yi.
Although Li Yan was cautious in his heart, in the battle of Yanjin, Sima Yi did not show any extraordinary strategy, or that the Han's weapons and armor had been difficult to make up for with strategy.
Seeing that the weather was getting colder, Li Yan made sure that Sima Yi did not have any ambush to stay, so he swept north and pointed at Bai Majin. At that time, Guan Yu cut off the ugliness in Baima. Now, Li Yan is going to be in Baima. Defeat Sima Yi and become the eternal story!
...
"Lieutenant!" Guo Huai came to Sima Yi and bowed: "Li Yan waved his troops and entered again. Was it an ambush?"
"No need!" Sima Yi shook his head: "Just as long as ten days, you can give away Bai Majin and have the right to defend Li Yang. Here in Li Yang, you can contain them for another three days, and I will retreat to Neihuang!"
"The number of soldiers and horses in our army is far better than that of the enemy, why not ambush?" Guo Huai was puzzled.
"If it is a hard battle, I am afraid that the losses will be quite large. I have to give aid to the Central Plains. How can I support the Central Plains if there are too many losses?" Sima Yi asked.
The elite of the Han army, Sima Yi had a personal experience in this battle.
"Hello!" Guo Huai heard the words and smiled bitterly, only hoping that instead of preparing for eight years of strategy like the last time, the result was instead used by the other party and wiped out in one fell swoop.
"Relax, Li Yan is not Liu Yi, Ma Jun has secretly observed, that the other institutions, under the world, I am afraid that only Liu Yi can make it." Sima Yi seemed to see through Guo Huai's thoughts, explaining with a smile.
Guo Huai nodded, preparing to leave, but was stopped by Sima Yi.
"Wait, ambush a bit, so as not to make Li Yan suspicious." Sima Yi looked at Guo Huai and said: "I will give you eight thousand people to go to ambush. It is up to you to decide how far you can fight, but Bo Ji must be in full body. Retreat. "
"Well!" Guo Huai bowed, turned and left.
The Great Wei Dynasty is now very few, and it can't afford to lose.
Sima Yi sighed as she watched Guo Huai leave.
On the other side, Guo Huai got the order and ordered eight thousand people to set up a lie on the river bank. Seeing the Han army crossing the river, he led the army to kill it. The river course of Baimajin was not as wide as the Yellow River, and the widest was only about ten feet. This suddenly killed He was indeed caught off guard by the Han army, but the responding Li Yan immediately ordered the archers to form an array across the river bank to cover the soldiers crossing the river with the arrow array, and at the same time Wei Yan led the army to cross the river and Guo Huai on the bank of the river. Fighting, the eight thousand Wei Jun was defeated and had to flee back to the white horse.
Li Yan took the opportunity to order people to build a pontoon on the river. Deng Ai and Liu Yi also learned to build. They were well-versed in wooden construction. In one day, they commanded the army to build more than ten wooden bridges. After the Han army established its foothold on the river bank , Immediately started to cover the white horse with arrow rain.
After calculating the range of the opponent's arrow cluster, Li Yan directly drove the arrow array 120 steps down the city and released the arrow. Half of Bai Majin was covered by the arrow rain, killing Wei Jun directly.
Guo Huai ordered someone to set up a catapult and continually dropped stone bombs against the city, before pushing Li Yan's position back. Even so, Wei Jun still damaged many people, and many shields were shot by the arrows of the Han army. Scrapped.
This was the case on the first day. Guo Huai suddenly felt deeply worried about whether he could hold the 10th. Before Liu Yi led the army, he did n’t feel so terrible, but when Li Yan was replaced, he really understood these. In 1949, the Han army's bow and arrow manufacturer had already set aside Wei for a long time.
On the second day, the Han army offensive was even fiercer, and it even began to attack the city walls. Even if Sima Yi even ordered the artisans to make three hundred trebuchets, it was still difficult to suppress the arrow formation of the Han army. Build a canopy around the city wall to block the arrow rain of the Han army, while the thunderbolt car was in the open air, constantly throwing stone bombs at the Han army, which only barely kept.
In this way, until the eighth day, the catapults in the rear of the Han army were transported, and the offensive was more fierce. The city walls were continuously shaken under the bombardment of the catapults. The outer soil walls had begun to peel off. The catapult was hit by holes.
After so insisting for two more days, Sima Yi's soldiers retreated and retreated into Li Yang.
After three more days, he abandoned the city and left.
"Father, if you go on like this, I will retreat into Yecheng. I'm afraid I can't hold too much time!" Sima Shi looked at the crumbling city wall and looked at Sima Yi with a wry smile.
The Han soldiers and horses have not suffered much damage until now, but Wei Jun retreated this way. Although Sima Yi took the initiative to retreat, the strength of the Han army ’s siege was also heart-wrenching. I am afraid that it was Yecheng ’s city defense. It won't last long.
"Warfare, weapons are important, but the more terrible thing is habit!" Sima Yi didn't feel frustrated. He looked at his son and said: "Zi Yuanke has found that Li Yan has set up in Yanjin, Baima and Liyang successively. There will be some changes in the beginning, but now it is basically fixed? "
"It's true!" Sima Shi recalled carefully. Now Li Yan's siege routine has become simple and arrogant. When he reaches the city, he calculates the distance, and then arranges the arrow array to release the arrow into the city.
"Habit is a terrible thing." Sima Yi groped for his beard. Although there was some embarrassment, the smile on his face was very happy: "The most terrifying thing is that you won't even notice it yourself."
"But even so, our army is an ambush, and it is invincible!" Sima Shi smiled bitterly.
As far as the equipment of the Han army is concerned and the speed of reaction on the battlefield, in case of ambush, it can be comparable to that of the Wei army.
"There is no effective strategy for Liu Yi. If you change a person, you may not succeed!" Sima Yi smiled and said: "In Neihuang, as long as he is still in such a battle, this battle ~ EbookFREE.me ~ we won ! "
"Father is saying, then Li Yan took the heart out of the enemy?" Sima Shi asked with a smile.
"Also be." Sima Yi nodded recklessly. In fact, there is nothing so simple, Li Yan is not a mediocrity. Such a person, even if he is underestimated, you have to cut him.
And from Yanjin to Baima, and from Baima to Liyang, this is the meat that Sima Yi cut off. The entire Wei County was sturdy and clear. This will not cause much damage to people's livelihood, but to defeat the Han army, this is Sima Yineng. I thought of the best way, and it was not working on Liu Yi.
Other generals saw the benefits and jumped up, and Liu Yi, the first reaction to seeing the benefits was cheating. For such a person, Sima Yi was really exhausted, so he did n’t dare to use Liu Yi for this plan. Instead, he made an outside move, moved Liu Yi away, and replaced him, even if he could be above Liu Yi, Sima Yi was not afraid.
The most important thing is that Li Yan does have some quick successes. This has not been exposed at the beginning, but after the white horse fell, Sima Yi has been able to feel Li Yan ’s eagerness for success. This point, you have to be in Liu It was difficult for Yi to find it. Fortunately, not everyone in the Han Dynasty was as steady as Liu Yi, but also gave Sima Yi an opportunity.
