Chapter 1595 Crossing the Yellow River Four times
Chapter 1593: Crossing the Yellow River Four times
Qi State crosses both sides of the Yellow River and occupies one-third of Qingzhou. Although it is mainly south of the Yellow River, it also has a considerable territory north of the Yellow River.
Zhu Tianpeng has arranged 30,000 troops north of the Yellow River, and now he is leading 40,000 main forces to drive north of the Yellow River.
A large number of ferries gathered on the south bank of the Yellow River, at the ferry entrance, and countless materials were transported. A large army of 20,000 had arrived. When the remaining 20,000 main forces arrived, they would immediately cross the river and march towards the North Sea.
Zhu Tianpeng stood at the ferry, looking at the ships traveling across the Yellow River, and felt a little regretful.
His Qingzhou naval army had just been trained. He wanted to defeat the Liangshan naval army head-on and regain the title of the First Navy Division in the North, but he did not expect that Liangshan, which had been standing for more than ten years, was severely damaged by Li Jing in a battle and easily annexed Wang Mang.
"It''s so lucky!" Zhu Tianpeng sighed.
"Report... Report to the lord, the Qin navy appeared in the Yellow River and was coming from the ferry in the west."
"Um?"
Zhu Tianpeng raised his eyebrows, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he asked with a faint smile: "Who is the leader?"
"It''s Li Jing."
"What?"
Everyone, including Zhu Tianpeng, exclaimed.
Li Jing''s move was undoubtedly extremely crazy in the eyes of the generals of the Qi army. After all, Qi still has 30,000 troops on the north bank of the Yellow River. It is easy for Li Jing to take the waterway to secretly touch it, but it is difficult to go back.
In addition, the Qi navy is also not easy to mess with. It has 10,000 elite water soldiers and warships and other equipment. So what''s the use of Li Jing''s navy?
"Li Jing''s hand was only five thousand navy troops at most, and the warships were also stolen from Liangshan. He dared to bypass our army''s defense alone and come to the rear of the Yellow River to block my army? It''s so brave."
Zhu Tianpeng said in a deep voice, but his eyes were full of fighting spirit.
"Lord, Li Jing must have a conspiracy in this move."
Wang Yanzhang said that although he did not think that Li Jing''s naval army could threaten Qi, he subconsciously believed that Li Jing had a conspiracy. After all, Li Jing was famous for being resourceful and good at decisive.
Zhu Tianpeng smiled indifferently and said slowly: "It is certain that there is a conspiracy, otherwise Li Jing would not take such a big risk, but even if he has a conspiracy, so what if it is? In the face of absolute power, no conspiracy can be hidden.
After passing the order, all the warships in the water camp were dispatched. This time, the king will personally lead the navy and decide the victory and defeat with Li Jing on the Yellow River. ”
"No."
Compared with land warfare, Zhu Tianpeng is actually better at water warfare, but Hebei has fewer water systems and is not suitable for large-scale formation of naval armies. The princes also use infantry and cavalry to fight, making it difficult for him to use his ability to fight water.
Now that he finally had the opportunity to fight the water, Zhu Tianpeng was still a little excited. He had devoted a lot of effort to his own naval army, and now it is finally time to test the results.
The order was enforced, and shortly after Zhu Tianpeng''s order was issued, various warships in the Qi army''s water camp drove out of the camp, and Zhu Tianpeng boarded the largest main ship under the protection of the brothers Wang Yanzhang and Wang Yantong.
"The whole army obeyed the orders and drove westward."
After Zhu Tianpeng gave the order, the flag bearer on the main ship immediately shook the order flag. Nearly a hundred warships of all sizes turned around, and the hundred ships actually crossed westward.
Zhu Tianpeng looked at the water of the Yellow River and the navy behind him and said passionately: "Don''t Li Jing want to destroy the ferry? Then come and defeat my navy."
The fleet was less than ten miles away, and a spy came to report: "Report... Report to the lord, the Qin navy changed direction and headed south."
"What?" Zhu Tianpeng frowned. He thought Li Jing wanted to follow the battle of Liangshanpo and burn the Qi army''s ferry on the south bank of the Yellow River to prevent the main force of the Qi army from entering the north of the Yellow River. Now it seems that Li Jing''s trip has other purpose.
"Continue to move forward, and in addition, we will carefully investigate Li Jing''s movements."
"No."
In less than half an hour, another spy came to report: "Report to the lord, the Qin navy has arrived."
Zhu Tianpeng frowned and asked, "What''s the matter?"
"Then we went southeast."
“Southeast?”
Zhu Tianpeng''s brows frowned even more, and he analyzed: "Does Li Jing want to take advantage of the emptiness behind our army and directly attack our capital Linzi?"
Wang Yanzhang suddenly showed a sudden look and said confidently: "It must be true. Li Jing must have wanted to surround Wei and save Zhao so that we can force our army to retreat."
"Brother, Linzi still has 8,000 defenders. Li Jing only has 5,000 naval troops and does not have large-scale siege equipment. How could he capture Linzi?" Wang Yantong retorted.
“That’s right.”
Wang Yanzhang laughed dryly, and Zhu Tianpeng reacted when he heard this, and then calmed down and said, "Since the Qin army has already arrived, we can''t use the navy. I''ll order the navy to return on the same route and then transfer 20,000 troops from the south bank to encircle and suppress Li Jing."
Li Jing had only 5,000 naval troops, but Zhu Tianpeng used 20,000 troops to encircle and suppress, which shows how much he valued Li Jing.
Zhu Tianpeng led the navy back to the water camp. The Qi army gathered at the 20,000 ferry crossing turned around and headed towards Li Jing, while the generals leading the army were Pang Shigu and Ge Congzhou.
Early the next morning, Zhu Tianpeng received an important military information. Before Pang Shigu and Ge Congzhou''s army surrounded Li Jing, Li Jing''s army withdrew back to the south bank of the Yellow River and took a boat to and on the north bank of the Yellow River.
"Huh? What''s the **** of Li Jing selling in this gourd? He ran over from afar and ran back without a single arrow? What''s the reason?" Wang Yanzhang looked puzzled.
"Run back? He can''t run away. There are 30,000 troops from our army on the north bank of the Yellow River. Since Li Jing has been exposed, how can he run? Where can he run?"
Zhu Tianpeng sneered and ordered: "Immediately, Fei Ge sent a letter to Xia Luqi on the north bank of the Yellow River, and asked him to lead all his troops to surround Li Jing. He must not let Li Jing escape back to the North Sea."
"No."
After receiving the order, Xia Luqi immediately led his troops to set up encirclements in various major waterways and contracted little by little, hoping to completely trap Li Jing to death.
Xia Luqi''s strategy was not wrong, but he underestimated Li Jing too much. Before his encirclement could shrink to the last circle, Li Jing took a boat back to the south bank of the Yellow River, causing the 30,000 Qi troops to lose all the money.
Li Jing''s repeated operations also made the senior executives of Qi army, including Zhu Tianpeng, completely confused and did not understand the meaning of doing so. After all, you can''t escape this, and at most it''s just to delay time.
What Zhu Tianpeng didn''t know was that delaying time was Li Jing''s goal, but it was just one of the goals.
Zhu Tianpeng ordered the Qi army on the south bank to encircle again, but as expected, Li Jing returned to the north bank of the Yellow River, causing the Qi army on the south bank to be empty again.
