Duan Shiyu stood in front of the sheepskin map with his hands behind his back, and asked Zhang Ziwen: "Xuzhou can enter the Central Plains, and retreat can protect itself. Why did Gao Zhan give Xuzhou to Puyangye?"

Zhang Ziwen said: "It's not giving, it's comparing."

"Ok?"

Zhang Ziwen said: "Whoever conquers Kyoto first will have the upper hand."

Duan Shiyu looked back at the location of Kyoto on the map, feeling a little displeased.These thieves don't know whether they take themselves too seriously, or they don't take the regular army of the imperial court too seriously. This capital is attacking whenever they want?

Duan Shiyu sneered, and wanted to say something sarcastic, but then he thought about it, those thieves captured four of the Kyushu states in just half a year. of things.

But what Duan Shiyu wants is their self-confidence.

Zhang Ziwen saw Duan Shiyu's expression was cloudy and uncertain, and secretly figured out his thoughts.

The commander's camp was silent for a while, a soldier broke in, knelt down on one knee, and reported: "Yu Chiyuan beheaded the enemy general in Qutang, and captured more than [-] prisoners of war."

"!!!"

"!!!"

Duan Shiyu and Zhang Ziwen stood up from their seats at the same time. Before they could speak, another soldier rushed in and shouted: "A hundred thousand bandits on the opposite side of Lishui want to cross the river!!"

Two hours before that, Gao Zhan had received a forged letter written by Ji Qingyun, in which the consequences of delaying the fighter were unimaginable.Gao Zhan and Gao Bingde read the contents of the letter and decided to send troops.

Duan Shiyu heard the report, clapped the case and said excitedly: "Arrange troops!"

"promise!"

Duan Shiyu glanced at Zhang Ziwen who looked complicated, took his pocket and ran out of the camp, and led the army to form a formation on the bank of Lishui.The well-equipped front army used shield formations to resist the bandits' front army who crossed the river first. Duan Shiyu ordered the archers to continue to attack from the rear, disrupting the bandits' offensive formation.

Duan Shiyu himself is good at riding and shooting, and climbed the wooden base himself.Gao Zhan, who was on the opposite side, saw the handsome flag hanging high, and asked some archers to spot Duan Shiyu and shoot arrows at him.

Duan Shiyu was almost shot by arrows several times, Zhang Ziwen was terrified, and shouted under the wooden base to ask Duan Shiyu to tear down the commander's flag.But Duan Shiyu didn't hear it at all.

Zhang Ziwen didn't know what was going on in his heart, seeing that Duan Shiyu didn't respond, he had to climb up to Duan Shiyu's handsome flag and tear it down.Duan Shiyu was drawing a bow and nodding an arrow. Seeing Zhang Ziwen climbing up, he put away his arrow and was about to open his mouth when the enemy's feathered arrows shot at him. Duan Shiyu dodged sideways, and his elbow hit Zhang Ziwen's chest. As soon as it was loosened, it was about to fall down.

Duan Shiyu quickly grabbed Zhang Ziwen and shouted: "It's dangerous here, sir, what are you doing here!"

Zhang Ziwen said: "The coach needs to hide the handsome flag, otherwise it will attract people's attention."

"Oh."

"..."

Duan Shiyu didn't care to think whether Zhang Ziwen was kind or pretending to be kind.

The two armies confronted each other on both sides of the Lishui River, Duan Shiyu's side was raining arrows and shooting stars, the [-] bandit army could not cross the river for a while, so they had to face each other across the river.

In the evening, Gao Zhan received the news that Qiao Mu had been beheaded, and the next morning he received the news that Liangzhou's reinforcements had been stopped at Yuhe. Angrily, Gao Zhan scolded Duan Shiyu's eighteenth generation ancestor all over the place.

Gao Bingde proposed to retreat temporarily, and wait for the arrival of other reinforcements from Liangzhou and Jingzhou to reorganize the attack.

Gao Zhan agreed to Gao Bingde's proposal and withdrew.

Zhang Ziwen, who was on the other side of Lishui, was also discouraged when he saw Gao Zhan retreating, saying, "This time, it's really over."

Seeing Gao Zhan retreating, Duan Shiyu trembled with excitement, even his teeth chattered. He said, "Mr. Zi Ziwen, I... I am going to win."

The planning of a war may take a long time, food and supplies, etc., but often the decision to win or not is only at that moment.

Duan Shiyu seized this momentary opportunity, turned over on his horse, went into battle and ordered his men to beat the drums to launch an attack. The soldiers in the front shouted "The bandits are defeated!"

Most of the front army were brave and ruthless people, and they were the main force of the three armies. With such a shout, the morale of the middle army and the rear army were suddenly high, and they crossed the Lishui in one go.

Ji Feng's army, who was still retreating, saw the rushing army, and was so frightened that they lost their positions. They had long forgotten the duty of the rear army to cover, and went to their own lives.Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Gao Zhan got on his horse and ran away hastily.

As soon as the general is intimidated, the soldiers will lose their momentum.Duan Shiyu hoisted the commander-in-chief flag again, took the lead, rushed over, and forced Gao Zhan back to the south of Hanshui all the way.

After Yu Chiyuan chopped down the trees, he continued to attack and occupied Yun County to the east of Lichuan County.The Yuhe Ferry was occupied by the navy. Gao Zhan tried to cross the river and fled to Liangzhou but failed, so he had to retreat south.

The Three Route Army encircled and regained Mr. Li Chuan
