Chapter 794 Weakened?
After waking up, Shen Yi put on his clothes and came to Gaozhuang along the Huaihe defense line. He still found a high slope, took a telescope in his hand, and stared quietly at the other side of the river.

The more than 100 ships on the other side of the river remained silent.

Every moment of time passed, Shen Yi's heart became anxious.

Because the longer the time drags on, the more likely the more than 100 ships on the other side are "fronts".

In particular, according to intelligence, the east and west sides are now attacked by the enemy almost at the same time, and they have already completely fought.

Even several times, Shen Yi almost couldn't help ordering his soldiers to support the battlefields on both sides of the east and west.

But every time, he resisted the urge, still sitting on this high slope, quietly looking at the other side of the river.

Su Ding was sitting next to him. When it was the end of Yinshi, when the sky was about to dawn, even Su Ding couldn't sit still anymore. He turned his head and glanced at the young man beside him, then lowered his head slightly and said, "Mr. Shen, yes no…"

"Send a battalion of thousands of households to support the east and west sides?"

Shen Yi slowly closed his eyes, expressionless: "How?"

"Here in Gaozhuang, there were only three battalions of 400 households. They were killed and injured yesterday, and now there are only about [-] soldiers left."

He opened his eyes, his gaze became firm again, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Sending a battalion of thousands of households out will not help. At least two battalions of thousands of households are needed to support the east and west sides, but sending 2000 people out, Gaozhuang This is equivalent to abandoning the defense."

Master Shen's voice was hoarse: "I don't think that the Qi people put more than 100 boats on the opposite bank, and they are really just for us to see."

Su Ding sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Shen, there is actually no problem with the western front. After all, General Ling's garrison on the western front can still provide support, but General Xue's eastern front..."

"I'm afraid it will be really difficult."

"At least until dawn."

Shen Yi's eyes were still looking at the other side, and his voice was low: "After the sky is bright, we will make a decision!"

Su Ding lowered his head slightly, and said: "Mr. Shen, Mo will be watching here. Go and rest first. If there is any movement, Mo will notify you immediately."

Shen Yi shook his head.

"At this time, even a heart made of iron will never be able to sleep."

Su Ding bowed his head silently and stopped talking.

The two of them sat on this high slope, quietly watching the river bank.

Time passed by little by little, but for Shen Yi, it passed extremely slowly.

He even wanted to blink and it would be dawn.

However, often at this time, time passes very slowly, horribly slow.

Finally, it was Yinshizheng, because Zhengzheng Xia, at this time, the sky was basically completely lit up.

Looking at the increasingly bright morning glow in the east, Shen Yi just wanted to issue orders, when a soldier from the scout battalion hurried over, panting heavily: "My lord! My lord!"

"The people of Qi on the north bank have moved!"

When Shen Yi and Su Ding heard the words, they were all excited, they picked up the binoculars and looked towards the north bank almost at the same time!
Although it doesn't look very real, more than a hundred ships on the north bank started to hang their sails almost at the same time and moved!

Su Ding put down the binoculars, turned to look at Shen Yi, trembling with excitement.

"Shen Gong predicts the enemy's opportunity first, he is really a god!"

Shen Yi looked solemn, put down the binoculars, turned to Jiang Sheng and said, "Go...get my armor."

Jiang Sheng opened his mouth, wanting to say something, Shen Yi saw that he was hesitating, and shouted in a low voice: "Didn't you hear me!"

Jiang Sheng nodded in a hurry, and went down to get the armor for Shen Yi.

Su Ding lowered his head and cupped his fists, then raised his head to look at Shen Yi, his voice was extremely firm: "Mr. Shen, the subordinates are not dead, no matter what, you don't need to go to battle in person!"

Shen Yi looked at Su Ding, took a deep breath, and said hoarsely: "General Su, you haven't figured it out yet."

"The people of Qi attack in three places, and there is no difference between the real and the false in these three places."

Master Shen spoke in a deep voice.

"Three places are real tricks!"

"Although the people of Qi have played some tricks, in essence, they are suppressing people with brute force."

Shen Yi whispered: "Because they can use far more troops than us!"

"Today is destined to be a bitter battle, Xue Wei is not here, you..."

Shen Yi lowered his eyebrows and said, "You have not been in the capital soon."

"I can only boost morale."

Su Ding is a man who has the ability to command, but after all, he lacks prestige, and the two sides are fighting to the death. They really need someone who is convinced by everyone to go to the front line to boost morale.

Moreover, it is not a dangerous thing for Shen Yi to go to battle in person.

Because he has a full set of armor.

What's more, he was always followed by inner guards, and not just a few inner guards, but dozens of inner guards!
These people are enough to protect Shen Yi's safety anywhere.

After the two had a brief exchange, Shen Yi looked back at Su Ding, and said, "Command before the battle, General Su is an expert, so I won't interfere, but there is one thing, General Su pay attention."

Su Ding lowered his head slightly, clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Shen orders!"

"This time, we're going to lay an ambush."

"So don't be in a hurry to expose them. Wait until all their ships are within the range of the artillery on the shore before ordering to fire."

After saying this, Shen Yi strode towards the coast.

At the same time, the ships on the north bank were rapidly approaching the south bank.

At about Mao's hour, it was already close to the south bank!

Su Ding put down the binoculars, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Fire! Fire!"

Along the coast of Gaozhuang, Shen Yi placed more than 20 artillery pieces in advance, all of which were built when he was in Yueqing, and they were also improved artillery pieces.

Although the shooting range has only been increased a little bit, and the power is even much smaller, this new type of artillery is much lighter than the original artillery!
The original cannon weighed a thousand catties, and basically could only be placed on the city wall to defend the city. However, this new type of artillery uses a wooden base, the lightest of which is only two to three hundred catties!

This weight does not even require a heavy animal, as long as it is placed on a two-wheeled cart, a few strong men can push it around.

This is also the reason why Shen Yi was able to place the artillery along the river, and even put it on the warship.

Twenty artillery guns fired together!
Moreover, it was daytime now, so the accuracy was naturally much better than at night. Among the dozen or so ships that led the Qi people, several ships were bombarded crookedly by the artillery!
Even a few small boats were directly blown to pieces, and the dozen or so people on board also fell into the water.

This round of artillery can be said to be very effective!

At least compared to the previous blind bombing at night, the effect is much better!
It's a pity that this kind of artillery still doesn't break away from the limitations of conventional artillery. Whether it's the speed of firing the cannon or the cooling time of the barrel, it takes a long time.

Therefore, from the time when the Qi people's ships entered the range of the artillery to the time when the Qi people arrived on the shore, these artillery had almost only four or five shots, and they were unable to shell anymore.

After the artillery fire stopped, the general of the Qi people on the big boat on the river raised his arms and shouted angrily: "Brothers, rush up and chop off these soft-legged sheep!"

On the other side, Su Ding calmly ordered and shouted: "Archer, archer!"

"Archers step forward, cover the artillery and retreat!"

Ever since, it was another round of feather arrow salvos!

However, the people of Qi have obviously learned their lesson. In order to fight against the artillery, the formation is very scattered at the moment.

The formation is scattered, so that the effect of bows and arrows is not particularly good.

However, scattered formation is not all bad.

After several rounds of bow and arrow volleys, Su Ding ran down from the high slope and ran all the way to Shen Yi. He took a deep breath and shouted angrily: "The enemy's formation is all scattered!"

"Prepare to rush to the past!!"

After finishing speaking, he directly pulled out the saber from his waist, stood near Shen Yi, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Shen, give orders!"

"For a while, please stand back and be careful!"

"Gaozhuang can't defend, we can still retreat to Huai'an!"

"You must not be hurt!"

Hearing this, Shen Yi chuckled: "Don't worry, nothing will happen to me."

He also slowly drew out his saber, looked around, and shouted: "Where is the son of the Han family!"

Shen Yi's prestige in the capital, if he has to use four words to describe it, can only be described as unparalleled.

Because every general and officer in the capital, from the commanding envoy Qianhu to the general banner of Baihu, is basically promoted by him!

Many of them were recruited by him himself!
Those who heard Shen Yi's voice nearby were all excited when they heard the words, and shouted angrily: "Your subordinate is here!"

"Array with me!"

Master Shen drew his sword out of its sheath.

"Slay the invading enemy!"

Everyone pulled out their sheaths, shouted angrily, and rushed towards the Qi people who had just logged in!
Next, there is no fancy hand-to-hand combat!
Because the soldiers of the Dusi have already lined up in advance, after the formation is completed, facing the scattered enemies, the advantage is huge under sudden contact!

No one can stop the formation of troops!
In just one meeting, more than 20 Qi people fell under the knife!
Even Shen Yi slashed and killed a Qi person with a knife!
Su Ding calmed down and began to direct the next attack.

The two sides clashed on the edge of the Huaihe River, and it didn't take long for the river to be dyed scarlet!
But after a while, Su Ding realized something was wrong.

"Mr. Shen!"

"These Qi people!"

He came to Shen Yi and said in a low voice.

"It seems to be much weaker..."
