Water Margin people

Chapter 1302 Advancement

"Cross the river!"

Yue Fei smiled and waved to Chen Da and Yang Chun who were in the distant position, and then gave orders to the soldiers.

The five hundred pioneers quickly reached the other side of the river and formed an array relying on the huge rocks on the river bank.

"stop."

Seeing that Yue Fei had led his men across the river, Chen Da immediately ordered the bombardment to stop.

"If you don't come out inside, I will set fire to it!"

Yue Fei shouted at the woods that had been bombarded into a mess. He would not lead people into the woods to fight. That was the enemy's territory. He would not go to die. He would just set fire to the woods.

"Yue Fei!"

Jin Wushu appeared at the edge of the woods. He stood on the trunk of a half-fallen tree, staring at Yue Fei with his eyes.

"It's you again! I didn't get enough of it just now, keep going!"

Yue Fei laughed and said when he saw it was Jin Wushu.

"Then come and kill again!"

Jin Wushu lowered the tree trunk, took a spear and killed Yue Fei.

Yue Fei stepped forward without hesitation and stabbed Jin Wushu with one shot, and the two of them fought directly.

"Jin Wushu? Are you trying to deliberately lead us forward?"

Sun Lei looked at Jin Wushu who appeared. This guy was actually placed in the front position.

"It should be so. Jin Wushu and Yue Fei are old enemies. As long as Jin Wushu appears, Yue Fei will definitely move forward."

Xu Guanzhong said.

"Then pretend to be fooled. The Chinese army will move forward, cross the river, and occupy the enemy's forward position!"

Sun Lei immediately ordered.

"Kill with me!"

Shi Jin roared, and with his cavalry, he prepared to charge across the river.

"fire!"

At the same time, Yang Chun and Chen Da also ordered artillery cover.

The edge of the woods was covered by artillery fire again. The Jin army hiding in the woods had no way to attack and could only hide under the bunker.

"Despicable people, don't you dare to fight head on?"

Jin Wushu heard the explosion and glanced at the incoming cavalry, gritting his teeth.

"Hmph, you guys hiding in the woods have the nerve to call others mean?"

Yue Fei looked at Jin Wushu and said disdainfully, if he hadn't been prepared and had artillery cover, he would probably have to pay a lot of casualties if he crossed the river.

"You win this time!"

Jin Wushu left these words and turned around and ran away, disappearing into the smoke.

"withdraw!"

Jin Wushu's voice rang in the woods, and the soldiers hiding in the woods quickly retreated.

"Run away now?"

Yue Fei squinted at Jin Wushu and started thinking. Jin Wushu's intention to lure the enemy deeper was too obvious, but it was necessary to repel the Jin army and move forward.

"Brother Yue Fei, these people are too weak to fight."

Shi Jin, who was riding across the river, looked at Yue Fei and said with a smile.

"Go check out the woods!"

Yue Fei nodded and pointed to the woods.

The soldiers quickly entered the woods and found a tree fort bunker built by the enemy in the woods.

"No wonder it's not afraid of artillery bombardment, this kind of log fortress!"

Yue Fei looked at the fortress built with one-foot thick logs in front of him. Only half of the fortress was exposed to the outside, and the other half was buried underground. Even if the cannonballs hit it, it would be difficult to break through this defense.

"These people reacted quickly enough to develop the tree fort so quickly!"

Shi Jin slashed at the tree fort with the simple knife in his hand, and only cut off a layer of bark with one stroke. After checking the woods and making sure there were no enemies hiding, the Chinese army slowly crossed the river.

At the same time, Lin Chong on the left wing was leading his men to storm the Jin Army's position.

"General Lin, the enemy relies on the Liaohe River for defense. It is too slow to recommend!"

Yang Zhi looked at Lin Chong and said, the vanguard troops were fighting fiercely by the river beach, but the current flow of the Liaohe River was guaranteed and the river beach was very muddy, which was very detrimental to their advancement.

"Let's push forward like this. We can't engage in a melee without breaking up the enemy! Your Majesty is right. Without a melee, we can't win quickly!"

Lin Chong opened his mouth and said that he discovered a problem at the beginning of the million-man battle. The formations of both sides were very tight, with almost no flaws. Moreover, both sides were advancing in formations, and victory or defeat was nothing more than the gain or loss of their positions.

"If this fight continues like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to tell the winner for seven or eight days!"

Yang Zhi nodded and said, this is not what they want to see. If such a large-scale battle becomes stalemate, it will test the logistics supply capabilities. After all, people need to eat and rest, not to mention that in fierce battles, the soldiers Consumption is greater.

"Seven or eight days? I'm afraid it will take half a month!"

Lin Chong shook his head. If the enemy could not be dispersed, it might take even longer.

"so long?"

Yang Zhi's brows were almost knitted into knots. There were too many variables in such a long war, and he was already ready to charge with all his troops.

"Brother Yang Zhi, now we can only look for flaws in the enemy. Regardless of the enemy's tight formation, as long as one of them is broken, the whole line will collapse!"

Lin Chong looked at Yang Zhi and said.

"Of course I know, I will personally lead people to the front line!"

Yang Zhi, who was born in a general family, naturally knew these truths, but he really didn't know anything about a battle of this scale.

"Don't talk about Yang Zhi, even you and I are feeling uneasy!"

Xu Ning said.

"No one has experience, just have experienced it!"

Lin Chong shook his head.

"Send the order and send out the leading troops to attack the enemy's position. We must capture the enemy's forward position today!"

Lin Chong ordered to everyone that the Jin army had set up many positions. If they didn't seize the time, the battle would really be wasted.

On the right wing, Wang Jin was also commanding the army to advance.

The situation on Wang Jin's side is more complicated. His side is close to the mountains, and the Jin army's positions are built based on the mountains.

"General Wang, this is very troublesome. There are dense forests on this mountain. A fight may cause heavy casualties."

Du Bo looked at Wang Jin and said.

"Stop fighting, just set fire!"

Wang Jin was extremely decisive. What the Jurchens were best at was fighting in the mountains and forests. He would not attack the Jurchens' mountain and forest positions.

"set fire!"

Yuan Lang roared, and the soldiers immediately started setting fire at the foot of the mountain.

Fire and thick smoke instantly filled the air, and suddenly the entire battlefield noticed the situation here.

"Damn it!"

Wanyan Wu Qimai looked at the billowing smoke and cursed angrily. The army near the mountain range was his biggest support. He was originally prepared to strangle the enemy, but now it was completely destroyed by the fire.

"These Qi people are so abominable. They even set fire to the mountain. Don't you know that this is a great sin!"

Wanyan Xiyin gritted his teeth and said, the Jurchens depended on the mountains, and what they cared about the most were the forests, but the fire would destroy everything. The flames would burn the trees, kill the animals in the mountains, and make the people who depend on the mountains starve to death.

"Let the army on the other side of the mountains retreat!"

Wanyan Wu Qimai looked at the soldiers beside him and ordered.

"Your Majesty, if this continues, the position we have prepared will be quickly encroached upon by the enemy!"

Wanyan Gao said, if all this side of the mountain range is evacuated, then this side will be controlled by the enemy, and the enemy will then attack directly towards their center or rear.

"The army is approaching the Daxianbei Mountains!"

Wanyan Wu Qimai thought about it and looked at Xi Mian and said.
