Chapter Two Hundred and Thirty Six: Dead Daoist Friends Don't Die Poor Daoist

Deng Jingshan's uneasiness became stronger and stronger.

You Yong's behavior is too abnormal.

At the beginning, he sent three thousand soldiers and horses led by Wang Wenshu to block the pursuers. The three thousand soldiers did fight to the end and dragged them for a day. It seemed that You Yong was indeed going to run, but when he arrived at the banks of the Yishui River, You Yong stopped running.

Is it because I can't escape?

Deng Jingshan didn't think so. Of course, the main force could not escape, but You Yong could completely cut off his arms to survive, at least he could take his elite soldiers to escape the river.

At this time, I remember that the dozens of ferries that You Yong had ferryed yesterday were the first ones to be the soldiers of the palace.

Why not elite soldiers?

Using armored soldiers to cover the escape of the palace soldiers? This is completely contrary to common sense.

Shi Jingshan narrowed his eyes and looked at the surging Yihe. There was a sudden feeling of coolness in his back.

No!

If You Yong lined up these dozens of ferries in a row, it would be enough to build a floating bridge on the Yishui River. If he used five thousand soldiers to stop the pursuers and the remaining soldiers and the horses would run away on the floating bridge, at least half of them could run out.

Even at this moment, on the other side of the Yishui River, dozens of ferries were still parked there! The more than a thousand soldiers who had crossed the river earlier had been sent back across the river and threw them into the battlefield by these ferries.

What does You Yong want to do? Decisive death?

Although the weather was already very cool, the sweat in Deng Jingshan's vest became denser and denser, so that his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

He suddenly realized that You Yong was not going to fight to the death with them, but to stick the pursuers to the river. All the previous actions, including Wang Wenshu's three thousand broken rear troops, were bait specially given to them by You Yong.

Yes, this is the bait!

They believed without doubt that You Yong was going to run away, and they gathered all the main forces to chase the Yishui River, and then acted like a devastating boat to fight with the pursuers.

This is a trap.

You Yong also has reinforcements.

So far, You Yong has paid more than 20% of the losses, but his troops are still not in chaos, not panic, and not retreating, and they are still full of fighting spirit. The general army has suffered casualties to this extent, and this battle has long been unable to be fought. However, the German army is still very fighting spirit, which only shows that they have a definite grasp of victory.

What they want to get after such a big casualty is certainly not a small victory, but what they expect is definitely a big victory.

What is a great victory?

Of course, kill everyone here.

Sweat fell down, which made Yelu Yuan beside Deng Jingshan very surprised.

"Governor Deng, Wang Shuai's troops are also exhausted. Why not let the generals go and rush for a while. They can't resist our attack at all. As long as they disperse their military formation, the next step will be simple." Yelu Yuan had been impatient for a long time. Seeing Deng Jingshan's appearance, he couldn't help but recommend himself.

"Yelu Yuan, take your three thousand cavalry and search upstream." Deng Jingshan took a deep breath and ordered.

Yelu Yuan was startled: "Governor Deng, why is this?"

"Go quickly." Deng Jingshan shouted: "Once you find the enemy, report it to me immediately. Also, try your best to stop it and delay the opponent."

A cold sweat also oozed from Yelu Yuan's forehead. He was also a man who was fighting a war. When Deng Jingshan said this, how could he not know that something was wrong?

He didn't talk nonsense at the moment, turned his horse's head and took his three thousand Khitan cavalry toward the upstream of Yishui.

Looking at the fierce battle by the Yishui River, Deng Jingshan was unable to make a decision for a moment.

The Chengde army was completely at a disadvantage at this time. If he suppressed all his troops, could he win in a short time and completely defeat You Yong?

If so, after defeating You Yong, his coalition forces with Wang Feng will be able to turn around and revive their strength to fight against possible enemy reinforcements. Although the outcome is unpredictable, there is always a chance to make a try.

If you cannot quickly defeat the enemy in front of you, the consequences will be very serious. You don’t need to think about the consequences of being attacked by the enemy from the front and back.

The rapid departure of Yelu Yuan's three thousand cavalry still caused a certain reaction on the battlefield. Zhenwu Army was very confused, but the reaction of Cheng German Army made Deng Jingshan decide in an instant.

Because the morale of the Chengde army suddenly increased by several levels, they even formed a counter-trend charge in local areas, killing the Zhenwu army step by step.

Sure enough, there were reinforcements. Deng Jingshan had already fully understood that he had sent Yelu Yuan to leave, which made the Chengde people think that his reinforcements had arrived, so their morale rose sharply.

At this moment, he also figured out another question, that is, where did the reinforcements from the Chengde people come from?

If You Yong still has reinforcements, it can only mean that the affairs of Zhenzhou were exposed and failed. Otherwise, Li Anmin or Suning, who had already taken the power, would never be able to send a reinforcement.

"Send the order and prepare to retreat!" He whispered to the personal guards beside him.

"Governor, do you want to notify Zhenwu's headquarters?" the general of the personal guard also asked in a low voice.

Deng Jingshan shook his head slowly: "My fellow Taoist is not dead. We are in trouble. If there are really reinforcements from Chengde, it only means that we will be defeated in this battle. With him blocking us, we can evacuate more calmly."

"Governor, where are we going?"

"Go to Youzhou!" Deng Jingshan said: "Yizhou is less than three hundred miles away from Youzhou. Youzhou is the important place of my Lulong. Now the army of Jieshou is on the direction of Hedong. Once Chengde occupied Yizhou and marched towards Youzhou in large numbers. If Youzhou is threatened, the Hedong front line will inevitably be terrifying, which will affect the battle between Jieshou and Gao Pian. We retreat to the Youzhou border to garrison."

"Understood."

Wang Feng regarded the sudden counterattack of Chengde people as a rebirth. The last trapped beasts fighting before he died, which made him even more energetic. With a wave of his hand, he personally brought the last reserve force to join the battlefield.

The increased force attacked You Yong's counterattack again, and the Cheng German army could only defend the last line of defense on the river embankment. Wang Feng, who was in sight, continued to urge the army to launch wave after wave of fierce attacks on the Cheng German army.

A ride is coming upstream of Yishui.

Then, Lu Long's army led by Deng Jingshan turned around and left without any warning.

You Yong stood on the river bank and saw Deng Jingshan's troops suddenly withdrawing, and he couldn't help laughing. His reinforcements finally arrived. He picked up his sabre and turned over and jumped onto the war horse beside him. You Yong raised his arms and shouted: "The reinforcements have arrived, and the whole line is counterattacking."

On the river bank, the war drums were beating together, and You Yong took the lead and rushed down with his unused guards.

Deng Jingshan's departure made Wang Feng stunned. But at this time, all his troops were entangled with You Yong's troops. How could it be so easy to leave?

Morale turned around in such a short moment.

Deng Jingshan had to leave.

The messenger sent back from Yelu Yuan told him that the Chengde army was no less than 20,000, and the cavalry alone exceeded 3,000. In the opponent's camp, they suddenly saw Liang Han's flag, Wen Fu's flag, and the chief general was Wang Sili.

Wang Sili is a leader in Zhenzhou. Previously, Suning swears that this person had joined forces with him, but now it has become their life-destroying talisman. Liang Hantong led Li Anguo's personal military camp, and Wen Fu was also a trusted general under Li Anguo's command. These people appeared here, which only means one thing.

Zhenzhou's plan was completely failed. Whether it was Li Anmin, Suning, or Fei Zhong, something happened.

Deng Jingshan is not leaving now, when will he wait? Will he be made into dumplings by Chengde?

Wang Sili commanded the army to attack the battlefield. For Yelu Yuan's three thousand Khitan cavalry, he sent Liang Han to lead the cavalry to fight.

Yelu Yuan did not have any intention of fighting. He fought with Liang Han and dragged him towards Laishui County.

Although Deng Jingshan asked him to cover up his life, he was not a fool, and it was impossible for him to destroy all his subordinates here.

This time, the troops under Li Anguo, Zhenzhou, really came out in full swing.

Wang Sili ignored Deng Jingshan who was running away, and the army pressed over and surrounded Wang Feng's troops on the banks of the Yishui River.

When the night came to an end, the battle by the Yishui River also came to an abrupt end.

Wang Wenshu led his Wang family soldiers forward bravely and rushed straight towards Wang Feng's central army banner. This was a useless man in the eyes of others in the past, but now he was like a god on the battlefield. The gods and ghosts made him kill all the way to Wang Feng. As the sword fell, Wang Feng's head fell to the ground, and the central army banner was then cut down.

Wang Feng died and the flag fell. Zhenwu's will to resist collapsed instantly, and even Wang Feng's personal guards were completely desperate at this moment.

The remaining Zhenwu Army put down its weapons and surrendered.

After paying the price of nearly 5,000 casualties, You Yong finally annihilated the main force of Zhenwu Army and killed Wang Feng in one go.

You Yong's headquarters was repaired on the spot, but Wang Sili's headquarters did not stop and turned around from the banks of the Yishui River toward Yixian, the capital of Yizhou Prefecture.

General Lu Long was extremely alert. He did not want to retreat to Yi County or to Dingzhou. Since Military Advisor Fei's plan had failed, neither Yizhou nor Dingzhou would be a place to settle down. He rushed directly to Youzhou.

In mid-November, the Chengde Army was completely occupied by the coalition forces of Wang Sili and You Yong, and Keyi County. Then Wang Sili, You Yong and Li Bo merged into one and fought towards Dingzhou, meeting with Li Tao, who was attacking Dingzhou, and surrounding Dingzhou City.

Ten days later, Dingzhou surrendered.

At this point, Zhenwu Jiedu was defeated and was annexed by Chengde as a whole.

But the nightmare of the Lulong people did not end, because Shi Yi was also in great trouble in Yingzhou. Li Ze of Chengde Yizhou personally led more than 3,000 cavalry directly behind Shi Yi, and joined forces with Liu Chenglin to trap Shi Yi in Zhangwu. The soldiers and horses in Shenzhou also rushed to the scene under the leadership of Du Teng and Hu Shier.
