Chapter 251 The Battle of the Yellow Water 3
"I knew there was something tricky behind this low wall. There must be a lot of thieves hiding inside, waiting for me to take the bait."

The former commander of the Puppet Qi army said angrily when he saw that the 2000 men he sent up did not even touch the enemy's swords, but fled back after suffering more than a dozen waves of arrows.

"What your Lord is saying is that the crossbows of this bandit army are very fierce and invincible!" the deputy general agreed.

"Arrange archers to come forward and hold down the formation. Don't let this wave of broken troops disperse the main formation." The general ordered.

"Yes!"

When the defeated troops rushed a hundred steps away from the main formation, the archers in front of the puppet Qi army's formation fired a wave of arrows, which hit the open space in the direction of the route of the defeated troops.

When the defeated soldiers saw it, they did not dare to continue to charge forward, nor did they dare to turn back to fight. They quickly divided into two sides and ran from both sides of the formation to the back.

The infantry of the third battalion of the Xinghan League retreated as soon as they saw a good situation and retreated to the defensive position in an orderly manner.

……

"It's stable, they must never dare to come up again." Liu Xinqi said to himself.

Have someone call over Zhao Yinghao and Guo Chengyan, commanders of the [-]th Infantry Battalion.

He first explained to Zhao Yinghao the preparations for the Xinghan League in Huang County, and then arranged for them:
"Take your fifth battalion out to sea by boat and wait outside Huang County. As soon as the Jin-Qi coalition passes Huang County, you will immediately go to Huang County and occupy Huang County. Mr. Guo is our liaison with Huang County. You can listen to his opinions more. But no matter when, you can't completely let down your guard."

"Yes! Leader. When we go to Huang County this time, can we use muskets?" Zhao Yinghao asked.

"After today there will be no restrictions on the use of weapons, you can use them freely." Liu Xinqi replied.

Zhao Yinghao looked happy, finally he no longer had to hold back his musket as his trump card.

It was until You hour that the former military camp on the opposite side stopped taking action, and the commanders of the two cavalry battalions also returned to the position headquarters.

"Have you eaten?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"have eaten."

"How is the situation outside?"

Liu Zhijie replied: "We basically eliminated all the enemy's scouts and scouts, and intercepted two groups of spies reporting from behind the enemy's rear. This should have blocked the intelligence connection between the front army and the Chinese army."

Blocking intelligence connections mostly depends on luck. Who knows how many waves of people the enemy generals have sent. They may have sent people from all three directions. Just do your best.

"Are there any conditions for a night attack?" Liu Xinqi asked.

The enemy army opposite was the Han army, so Liu Xinqi dared to ask this question.If it were Jurchen cavalry, he would not have any plans to attack at night.Night blindness can be cured by eating animal offal, as can eating fish.The Jin Kingdom was a fishing and hunting nation, and the Jin soldiers' night vision was naturally much better than that of the Han army.

The troops of the Xinghan League have better food recently and are no longer blind at night.

"It is possible to attack at night, and rushing into the enemy's camp may cause us greater casualties. If it is just harassment, it will be much simpler." Liu Zhimu replied.

"There is no need to charge into the formation. I just plan to tire out the enemy. Since we can attack at night, you two battalions of cavalry will make arrangements on your own and take turns to harass them so that they will not have a rest tonight. This will save them from charging into the formation again during the day tomorrow." Liu Xinqi arranged arrive.

"Yes! Alliance Lord."

On November [-], the night on the west bank of the Yellow River was spent with intermittent shouts of killing. Occasionally, tents were set alight by rockets, and the flames shot into the sky. However, they were quickly extinguished and did not form a continuous fire.

Compared with the Puppet Qi's former army, which was struggling to cope, the Xinghan League was much more calm. After arranging the night watch, they could rest peacefully, ensuring that they would be energetic the next day.

On November 5, at noon, the central army of the Jin-Qi coalition arrived at the west bank of the Yellow River. The camp accommodated nearly [-] troops and was as far as the eye could see, filling every gap in sight.

After noon, Liu Xinqi's heart began to hang in the air, worried that the Jin-Qi coalition forces would attack with all their strength in one go. If this happened, it would inevitably lead to heavy casualties on the Xinghan League side.Fortunately, God was with us. The previous attack was too violent. The continuous harassment last night caused the front army to become exhausted. After Liu Yi's army arrived, they did not attack immediately, but chose to rest and recuperate.

"We are waiting for work. They have been marching for a month. When they reach their destination, they need to rest and recuperate," Jiao Rui said.

"The most difficult stage has passed. It's up to you to decide. The decisive point of this battle is tonight. I'm waiting for your good news." Liu Xinqi said.

"We will fight to the death." Jiao Rui responded, then turned and left the headquarters.

We came to a position. This trench position was located at the northeast rear of the defensive position. There were thirty burly soldiers inside.

Someone is sitting on a package to rest, someone is wiping armor or sharpening the edge of a knife with a whetstone.

After Jiao Rui walked in, everyone put down their work and stood up.

"Long queue!"

"Okay!" Jiao Rui looked at these young faces and felt a little distressed.

"Has the suicide note been written yet?"

"It's written and has been handed over to the Martial Arts Department." Someone answered Jiao Rui's question.

Jiao Rui touched the letter he had written on his chest, and finally decided not to hand it in. The soldiers could be prepared to die, but he couldn't. He would do his best to bring these soldiers back alive.

"Everyone is destined to die, and it may be heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather. The Xinghan League worked hard to govern, and the leader was ambitious and talented and possessed magical powers. Only one year after the establishment of the Xinghan League, it completely improved the lives of the hardworking people and made Xinghan All the people in the Han League can have enough food and clothing."

"The future of the Xinghan League is like the rising sun in the east, and it will surely illuminate the wider world with its own brilliance."

"Now the Jurchen Tatars of the Jin Kingdom and the traitors of the Qi Dynasty are coming to extinguish our hopes and the hopes of our descendants. Can we agree?"

The soldiers shouted in unison: "No!"

"What we do today is not for individuals, but for the common people! For the prosperity of the Han League! For the Han nation!"

"Gentlemen, throw your heads and blood and only focus on the present. If we succeed, we will definitely leave our name in history!"

After speaking, Jiao Rui pulled out his sword and held it high.

"The Xinghan Alliance will be victorious!"

"The Xinghan Alliance will be victorious!"

The crowd shouted.

"Okay, prepare your equipment, take the time to rest, and we'll set off when the information comes in!"

The intelligence Jiao Rui mentioned was about the enemy's camp, and the source was the "spy" Gu Yi.

At Haishi, Liu Xinyuan came back.

"Gu Yi just went to visit the Chinese army's camp. Liu Yi did not keep Gu Yi in the camp, but asked Gu Yi to go back to Huang County to defend. So the original plan was for our people to follow Gu Yi in the Chinese army's camp It is no longer possible for the big account to respond internally and send signals."

The topic changed and he continued: "Fortunately, I went with you today. I can remember the location of the Chinese army's tent and the faces of Liu Yi and Wanyan Jingzhe. I will take you in tonight."
