Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 294

At night, the Li army stopped attacking.

The ministries were repaired, and then camps were stationed on both sides of the river to guard against the night raids of the cloud army. After all the arrangements were completed, it was already late at night.

On the majestic dragon-headed giant ship, Li Weining's brows were erected, and his eyes were full of coldness.

Looking at the vanguard generals kneeling in front of him covered in blood and scars, Li Weining said in a cold tone:
"Attacking the enemy is not good, and the military aircraft is delayed. According to the military law, it should be handed over to the military law officials for disposal."

Before nightfall, Li Chao's navy attacked for only two or three hours, and lost three large ships with a cost of more than a thousand, and dozens of ships with a cost of less than a thousand.

On the opposite side of the Yunjun water camp, although it seems that the loss is not small, the camp has not been shaken in any way.

It was originally above the boundary of Yunguo, even if Yunguo temporarily recruited nearby local troops, it would be able to stabilize the defense line of the water village and delay the pace of Li Chao's navy again.

How can Li Weining accept the ratio of battle losses between the two sides?
Hearing Li Weining's words, these generals immediately showed sorrow, bent down and begged for mercy:
"Your Majesty, please check clearly, the last general and others have already done their best... The Yunjun camp is strong, obviously there are experts in charge, it is not because we are slack!"

"Your Majesty, the last general dare not be slack!"

"My Majesty please investigate!"

Seeing this, the rest of the generals of the Li Army who were standing at the side also felt sorry for them, many of them couldn't help admonishing them:

"Your Majesty, it's not good for the morale of the army to ask the crime in front of the battle..."

"Sir, why don't you let them commit crimes and make meritorious deeds?"

"Yes, if the few of them can be forgiven by the king, they must be very grateful. How can they not try their best to attack the stronghold tomorrow?"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

In today's battle, the visions of the armies of both sides manifested and solidified, and they fought each other, causing the river to churn, making it hard to believe that it was something human could do.

This one incident alone is enough to let everyone know that Yunjun is definitely not easy to deal with!It is not the fault of these generals who are slack in attacking the stronghold.

How could Li Weining not know about this matter?
It's just that at this time, there is a wave of evil fire in his heart, which is why he poured out on his subordinates and generals.

But seeing all the generals dissuading him together, Li Weining also knew that if he insisted on questioning the crime, it might really affect the morale of the army.

Thinking of this, he could only take a few deep breaths, suppress the evil fire in his heart, and said:

"Because the battle is ahead, in order to prevent the morale of the army from being unstable. If there are any more people who will intercede for you, I will write it down for now. You are allowed to take the crime and make meritorious deeds. If there is no further progress tomorrow, all crimes will be punished!"

Hearing the words, all the generals who were pleading at the side breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked each other:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding!"

As for the kneeling vanguard generals, although they escaped punishment, their faces were extremely ugly when they heard Li Weining explain that there would be no further progress in the future and that the two crimes would be punished together.

These generals led the forward navy to directly attack the Yun army's water stronghold, and even led the army to charge when they were red-eyed, so they knew the Yun army on the opposite side most clearly.

It is only said that with the cumbersome layout and extremely strong water village, it is absolutely impossible to capture the water village tomorrow!
But at this time Li Weining had already spoken, and they obviously had no other choice.

In desperation, several generals had no choice but to bow down and kowtow, bitterly said:
"The last general is waiting, obey the king's order!"

After the disposal, all the generals resigned one after another.

After Li Weining waited until there was no one in the boat building, his face darkened again, his fists were clenched tightly, the veins on his forehead were exposed, and he gritted his teeth and cursed:
"A group of Qiu Ba dared to rebel against Gu. If it weren't for the fact that there are no available people in the army, Gu would have asked them to be dismissed and punished..."

Seeing Li Weining's sudden face change and his low-pitched cursing, Pi Hui, who was waiting nearby, felt a chill in his body and mind.

There is no need to think about whether what those generals said just now is a disobedient intention, or a sincere remonstrance out of the overall situation.

But even so, Li Weining still looked like this.Even Pi Hui, who has always been loyal and supported Li Weining all the way during the most difficult times, has a strange thought at this time.

Wisdom is late, lenient outside and taboo inside, mean and ungrateful, what kind of king is worthy of allegiance...

The thoughts in his heart kept churning, and after a while, Pi Hui suddenly shivered, and then he came back to his senses.

Looking up, I saw the window on the side, which had been blown open by the wind at some point.

There was a wind blowing from the river, and along the wide open windows, the mist from the river poured into the boat building, which made his body feel cold.

Seeing this, Pi Hui hurried forward to close the window.

But at this time, Li Weining frowned and said:
"Don't worry, Guzheng feels irritable!"

There was an evil fire in my heart, and the anger welled up in my heart and couldn't dissipate, so I naturally felt dry and hot.

Hearing the words, Bi Fei stopped quickly.

Li Weining stood up, walked to the window, and let the strong wind blow away the heat.

The sound of howling wind rang out from outside the ship, causing Li Chao Navy's huge dragon-headed giant ship to shake slightly, and the fog that shrouded the river was no longer thick at this time, but gradually became thinner.

Bi Hui waited for a while, but couldn't help but speak again:

"Your Majesty, there is a strong wind on the river, don't be greedy..."

Li Weining was blown by the wind for a while, his mind calmed down a little, and the evil fire in his heart dissipated a little, then he suddenly felt a chill, and responded in a muffled voice:

"Oh, I see……"

Li Weining turned away from the window, waved his hand to signal Bi Hui to close the window, and said casually:
"I know that the wind and waves on the sea are changeable. I never thought that the wind and waves on the river are also so unpredictable. Today, there is a southwest breeze all day, but at night, the wind direction suddenly changes to the southeast, and the wind force suddenly becomes so strong!"

Bi Hui hurriedly closed the window and said casually:

"I don't know the servant girl, but I think they are all on the water, or there are similarities!"

Li Weining nodded noncommittally, and just as he sat down, he suddenly heard distant, faint, hurried and frightened shouts, mixed with shrill screams.

Li Weining frowned and said in a deep voice:
"Go out and see, what happened again..."

As soon as the words fell, Li Weining suddenly had a feeling in his heart.

Dajun's vision was felt, and it was fed back to him.

A bad premonition came from his heart.

Before Pi Hui could go out, Li Weining stood up abruptly and walked quickly to the deck.

In an instant, his eyes widened, showing anger and panic.

In front of them, raging flames were ignited, and the forward navy army was already caught in a sea of ​​flames.

The mighty Li Dynasty Navy, with countless large and small warships, surged on the not-so-broad Nanpan River, and their formation was extremely tight.

This was originally a move to show off the military strength of Li Chao's navy, but at this time, it became a reminder!

The southeast wind was howling, and Li Chao's navy was going upstream again. There was rolling river water, even if there was a vision of a large army to suppress it, they could no longer stabilize the ship at this time.

Under the surface of the river, a vision of a divine dragon condensed by the Longfei Battalion sneaked in. When the figure hovered, the river became more and more turbulent.

The boat that had already been set alight was pushed backwards by the strong wind and the waves of the river, and rushed towards the formation behind itself.The ships behind wanted to give way, but the Nanpan River was narrow, and the Li army ships formed a tight formation, and because everyone panicked, the front and back were congested, and they were immediately crowded together.

The Inland River Navy, which had been hiding from Yun Kingdom for a long time and had been unable to avoid the battle, came out in full force at this time, shuttled non-stop among the warships of the Li Chao Navy in a panic, expanding the results of the battle.

Even the Li army camps erected on both sides of the river, at this time, the cavalry charged and killed, and the sound of fighting bursts.

On the surface of the river, the wind fueled the fire, and the fire intensified, and the burning momentum was already unstoppable.A large piece of fire was refracted by the surface of the river, and even half of the starry sky was red!

In the red light, there was only a roar of a tiger.

A majestic figure, red all over, and a vision of a flying tiger with wings on its back, flapping its wings.The fire is incarnated, and wherever it passes, the fire becomes more and more violent.

The basalt vision of Li Jun's army had already manifested at this time, roaring continuously, and struggling with limbs.

The jade seal of the Li Dynasty on its head was now shining with brilliance, and the jade color poured down unreservedly, wanting to help.

But as soon as he moved, a golden auspicious cloud suddenly appeared in the sky and stretched for several miles, overwhelming it.

Among the auspicious clouds, the golden dragon's body appears and disappears from time to time, only the scales and claws are exposed, but the whole picture is not visible.

But even so, the moment the golden auspicious cloud appeared, the vision of Li Chao Yuxi suddenly trembled.

The radiant jade-colored brilliance changed from strong to weak, and the tiny cracks on the original jade seal that were faintly visible and could not be detected at all, immediately extended and expanded along the original lines, becoming very conspicuous.

The next moment, a huge dragon claw suddenly protruded from the golden auspicious cloud, and swept it violently.

The jade seal of Li Chao that appeared in the sky fell down immediately before being touched by the dragon's claws, and dissipated in an instant.

Originally attached to Li Chao Yuxi, those blood-colored fluorescent lights that made people uncomfortable to look at, representing the aura of killing on the battlefield, lost their attachment at this time, suspended in the air, and then swirled around, "swish" towards Li Weining's body Backlashed away.

Li Weining, who was sitting in the middle army, was entangled in the bloody aura. At this time, it was as if his head was hit by a heavy object. He felt his head was dazed and empty, and his body fell to the ground as soon as his body softened.

Without realizing it, blood overflowed from the eyes, ears, nose, mouth and other orifices, and in the internal organs, it was as if they had been severely injured under the raging evil spirit.

Pi Hui at the side, and a group of officers and soldiers who were personally guarding him, looked at the fallen Li Weining, they were startled, they hurried forward, and exclaimed:

"Kings!"

"What's the matter with you?"

Li Weining was in a daze, and let everyone hug him, spitting out a few big mouthfuls of blood.

When he was drowsy, Li Weining only heard a wail.

In the blurred vision, the visions of dragons and flying tigers are surrounded, water and fire are combined, biting or whipping.Li Jun's basalt vision struggled to support him, but he was unable to return to the sky after all. With a groan, his figure was finally shattered into pieces of brilliance and scattered from the sky.

Li Weining opened his eyes suddenly, a mouthful of blood spilled out of his mouth again, and roared struggling:
"Back, back!"

Li Chao's navy is famous all over the world as an elite navy, so naturally there is no need to wait for Li Weining to recover before he knows how to retreat.

When the previous panic subsided, the generals of the Li army made the decision, and the strong men cut off their wrists, ordering the forward navy to make a decisive decision, smashing the ship and sinking it into the river, so as to prevent the ignited ship ahead from approaching.

The central and rear troops of the Li Dynasty navy retreated immediately, and withdrew downstream.

Although the generals don't know how difficult and dangerous the retreat is, but now the basalt vision formed by the army's power has collapsed, and the army no longer has the blessing of the vision, and the morale of the army is already turbulent. I can't fight anymore!
At this time, entering the Yongjiang River, where the Yunjun has long been heavily guarded, is a dead end.Instead of this, it is better to retreat, and the Dayun Army will be caught off guard, and maybe they will be able to safely withdraw back to the country along the way when they came.

Going down the current, following the southeast wind, although there is no longer the blessing of the vision of the army, but the speed is also extremely fast, but it is far away from the raging fire in a moment.

It's just that at this time, the Li Jun navy officers and soldiers who had witnessed many changes in the world with their own eyes, and had long been a little unacceptable, after seeing their own Xuanwu vision being smashed, suddenly had no heart to fight, and panicked one by one. Looks like an elite in the world!

When evacuating, you chased each other one by one, and the formation was scattered.On the narrow Nanpan River, there were collisions and frictions from time to time, and the two ships capsized all over.

But before all the generals felt relieved, someone suddenly exclaimed:

"No, it's not good! It's the previous Yunjun again!"

At this time, there was no fog to cover the Xuanwu vision, and the generals followed the night and the fire behind them, looked forward, and suddenly panicked.

Only in front of him, several iron cables crossed the river again, blocking Li Chao's retreat up and down.

On both sides of the river, there are countless Yunjun soldiers holding longbows and crossbows, waiting in full force, as if they have been waiting for a long time!

A general of the Li army stepped back a few steps, staggered and sat on the ground, and said in panic:

"It's over..."

The rest of the generals were either helpless or desperate, or tragic and indignant, and a sense of defeat pervaded the entire Li army.

Previously, when Li Jun's navy was in its heyday, there was a vision blessing, and nothing could stop it.But even so, he was still blocked by the iron chains of Yunjun for several days, which made the generals remember him deeply.

At this time, the vision of the Li army dissipated, and the morale of the whole army did not exist.Goodbye to the iron chains across the river, followed by Yun Guo's navy chasing after them, no matter how loyal these Li army generals were, they unconsciously felt an irresistible sense of despair.

Pi Hui supported Li Weining, who was still a little unconscious, and felt anxious in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Quick! Abandon the boat and go ashore!"

Being blocked back and forth, staying on the boat will only get you caught in the urn.

Not far from here is Shicheng County, and the Xia and Yun armies are fighting fiercely, which is an opportunity.

Now, the only way to protect Li Weining and return to the country is by going to the shore and then going to Xia Kingdom from Shicheng County!

When the generals heard the words, they all came to their senses.

The Li Dynasty Navy currently has more than [-] soldiers, all of whom are well-trained soldiers.Although abandoning the boat, its combat power and morale were lost, but now there seems to be no better way other than this matter!

Thinking of this, the generals of Li's army no longer hesitated, and immediately decided to escort Li Weining and abandon the boat and go ashore in a hurry.

Amidst the turmoil, the Li Dynasty Navy, which had been mighty and seemingly unstoppable before, was immediately defeated and scattered.

The general of the Li army was protecting Li Weining. He had just collected tens of thousands of soldiers and was about to withdraw towards Shicheng County.

And at this moment, a hurried horse's hooves were heard, and a shout was heard:
"Dayun Forbidden Army, Captain Fenjie Zhao Yun is here!"

The white horse jumped out, and Zhao Yun, who was wearing silver armor and holding a silver spear, took the lead and charged into the Li army.

Swinging the long spear, piercing with cold light, invincible vertically and horizontally, it was the sound of screams.

After that, thousands of cloud country cavalry dressed in red armor, like red flames burning, rushed out immediately.The soldiers of the Li army who had barely rectified were rushed in by the cloud army's sudden cavalry, and the formation collapsed again...

The dream of a generation of heros died in the raging fire.
