Chapter 112 Yue Fei versus Li Jing

"Your Highness, please leave the task of attacking Weizhou City to the last general."

Yue Fei took the initiative to clasp his fists and asked for help, with a very serious look on his face.

"General, I want to see how powerful the top coach of the Tang Dynasty is. Please give me a chance, Your Highness."

Yue Fei's words surprised Li Chengdao. Yue Fei was not the type to enjoy great achievements, but this time he actually took the initiative to accept the difficult task of attacking Weizhou City, which was really surprising.

In fact, Yue Fei's idea is also very simple. Although he holds the important position of commander of the White Robe Army under Li Chengdao, he has never had any opportunity to show himself.

The confrontation with the Turks was no challenge to him, because the Turks did not have any generals who were good at commanding the army. They had the upper hand entirely by relying on their superior numbers and military strength, but they were eventually destroyed by them.

But this time the enemy was different, it was Li Jing, the famous founder of the Tang Dynasty. Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, he was one of the few top commanders, which directly aroused his competitive spirit.

This time he wanted to defeat Li Jing in an upright manner, proving that Li Chengdao had no problem appointing him as the commander-in-chief of the White Robe Army.

In the final analysis, it was still due to Jia Xu's stimulation.

Compared with Yue Fei, Jia Xu played a much greater role. He often came up with various clever plans and started to help Li Chengdao solve a series of affairs. He was a fully qualified counselor.

In order not to be left behind by Jia Xu, Yue Fei also wanted to compete.

After looking at Yue Fei for a while, Li Chengdao nodded and said: "Okay, then the task of attacking Weizhou City will be given to General Yue. Just do your best."

Li Jing is a top-notch commander, and he has 20 troops stationed in Weizhou City. It is extremely difficult to attack Weizhou City. Even Yue Fei may not be able to capture Weizhou City.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness!"

Yue Fei looked solemn and responded with clasped fists.

……

After Yue Fei took over the command from Li Chengdao, he ordered his army to build embankments in the upper reaches of the Yellow River to fish for food and at the same time reduce the water flow of the Yellow River.

In addition, the soldiers were ordered to cut down a large number of trees, ostensibly to build camps, but secretly they were rushing to build rafts.

It is now the spring flood period, and the river water has surged. If you want to cross the Yellow River, such a rapid flow is not possible, so you need to build embankments.

At the same time, in order to reduce the enemy's vigilance, they secretly built wooden rafts under the guise of building a camp.

After several days of preparation, Yue Fei commanded the army to cross the Yellow River at dawn!
At dawn, when night and day alternate, it is also the time when people are least vigilant. Yue Fei chose this time to let his army cross the river!
Weizhou City also responded quickly, and Li Jing rushed to the city wall immediately.

In the dim light of dawn, raft after raft was thrown into the Yellow River, where the water flow had become gentle. Countless white-robed soldiers rode the rafts across the Yellow River and landed on the river bank.

"Commander, please let me lead the troops to attack and prevent the enemy from crossing the river!"

Hou Junji directly asked for orders.

However, after watching for a while, Li Jing shook his head and said, "No need, they picked the time very well, and it's too late to stop them now."

"But we just watch them cross the river?"

Hou Junji said anxiously.

Li Jing did not speak, but pointed to the first group of soldiers to cross the river. He saw that the white-robed soldiers had set up a crossbow on the bank. At the same time, the more than [-] white-robed soldiers who were the first to cross the river had already set up their crossbows. We have formed a square formation and are ready.In the simple camp on the other side of the Yellow River, there were a large number of people moving faintly.

"They have already taken the lead. Trying to stop them from crossing the river at this time will not succeed."

After all, Li Jing is a famous commander, and he is much calmer than Hou Junji and others.

It is best to block the enemy on the other side of the Yellow River, but at this time the opponent crosses the river unexpectedly and must be well prepared. Even if they can succeed in sending troops to stop them, it will cost a lot.

It's not worth it.

They just need to hold on to Weizhou City, and then look for opportunities to counterattack and annihilate the enemy!

However, although Hou Junji was not allowed to lead the attack, Li Jing still ordered a wave of arrows to prevent the white robe army from crossing the river. However, the sky was dark at this time, and Weizhou City was several miles away from the Yellow River, so for the white robe army The military casualties were minimal.

On the other side of the Yellow River, Yue Fei waited for a while and couldn't help but feel a little regretful when he saw that Weizhou City did not send troops to attack.

He immediately asked the soldiers to transport the thousand ten-company crossbows, and at the same time, he ordered the soldiers of the Mobei Iron Cavalry to hide in the camp. If the other party sent troops to stop them, they would be greeted by an overwhelming rain of arrows, and a barrage of arrows. A powerful crossbow that can be called a harvesting machine on flat ground!

With such a lineup, it is impossible for the Weizhou Army to attack in a hurry!

Link after link, Yue Fei's control of the battle situation can be seen. This river crossing was extremely beautiful.

It's a pity that Li Jing held back and did not send out the army.

"This Li Jing is really extraordinary."

Yue Fei looked at the firelight swaying on the walls of Weizhou and the rising sun peeking out of the horizon, and directly ordered: "Hurry up and get the whole army across the river!"

……

Since the Weizhou Army did not send troops to stop them, the White Robe Army immediately organized a complete defense after 1 people crossed the river first, and then built a pontoon bridge to allow all the remaining troops on the other side to cross the river.

Those wooden rafts were dismantled, camps were built, and they were actually stationed on the river bank.

At this time, even if the Weizhou Army wanted to send troops to drive them back, it was already too late.

"General Yue, well done!"

In the tent, when Li Chengdao saw Yue Fei walking into the tent, he smiled and praised him.

Luo Yi and other generals also praised Yue Fei one after another. Even Jia Xu nodded and approved Yue Fei's action.

Crossing the river under the eyes of the enemy and achieving almost no casualties, this is not only outstanding, it is simply perfect!

"Your Highness is wrong."

Yue Fei was not impressed, he raised his hands and saluted, "Now we are just crossing the river. The next step is to attack Weizhou City."

Crossing the river is only the first step, capturing Weizhou City is his real goal!
