Chapter 0914 - Asking for Help
Yang Qiu saw the "Double Rabbit" banner trembling violently in the bloody rain and bloody wind from a distance, and he wanted to help, but he couldn't do it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Immediately ask the lord for help, and ask him to use reserve reinforcements, or transfer troops from the middle battlefield to support Li Kan and block the counterattack of the Northern Xinjiang Army." Yang Qiu vigorously wiped the blood on his gray beard and said anxiously, "Tell the lord and ask him to pull the main army onto the battlefield as soon as possible, and quickly change the unfavorable situation on the battlefield, so as not to suffer heavy losses to our army." Quick, quick......"
………………
The southeast side of the battlefield.
Yue Fei commanded the army to suddenly change formation, and the huge and strong "fortress" quickly turned into a huge and sharp "iron cone".
When the formation changed, Liang Xing and Ma Yuzheng each led a cavalry to shoot along the two wings of the phalanx, and when they saw that the two wings of the phalanx suddenly "collapsed", they thought that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and hurriedly waved their troops to attack.
After the two wings of the phalanx "collapsed" and contracted, the ballista formations in the formation immediately became the front line of the attack. With an earth-shattering roar, the ballista fired continuously, and the arrows were like locusts.
The Xiliang cavalry suffered heavy losses.
Liang Xing and Ma escaped death, and retreated quickly with the gallant horsemen. Their withdrawal completely exposed Xia Zhao's army of foot soldiers to the attack of the Northern Frontier Army.
Hua Xiong took the lead in launching a counterattack, and then Yue Fei and others pushed forward with the "Iron Cone" array, beating Xia Zhao's army of foot soldiers to the point of embarrassment and retreating.
Liang Xing and Ma Yu regrouped the cavalry as fast as they could, and more than 5,000 cavalry rushed to the battlefield again, barely helping Xia Zhao stabilize the formation.
However, there were too many Northern Xinjiang Army, more than 20,000 people roared like thunder, and the situation on the battlefield was precarious, and the infantry and cavalry army of the coalition army could be completely defeated by the Northern Xinjiang Army at any time.
"Ask for help, ask for ......help," Xia Zhaohan was like rain, angry and ruined, "tell General Gao that the army is about to collapse, ask him to rush to support, hurry to support." ”
………………
The autumn sun hung high in the blue sky, the scorching sun shone on the battlefield for miles, the bloody air shrouded the sky and the earth under the high temperature, and the violence and cruelty rose with the fierce fighting and the undulating smoke and dust on the battlefield.
All the people on the battlefield are immersed in the killing, whether it is the high-ranking generals or the soldiers who moan* in a pool of blood, they have thrown their lives out of the clouds, and they have all discarded all emotions. They only have bloody weapons in their eyes, and they only kill in their hearts.
When they stabbed Bingling's spear into each other's bodies, when they licked and sucked the blood of their opponents, what they felt was not pain, not happiness, but numbness, extreme disregard for life and survival.
Han Sui stood under the big tree, his eyes closed, and he was engrossed in playing the flute. His wide robe fluttered in the wind, his long gray beard gently swayed, and a faint and warm shallow smile appeared on his weather-beaten face, and his whole body and mind seemed to melt into the melodious sound of the sad and sad flute.
Yang Fu, Han Yi and dozens of guards stood at the foot of the hillside, looking at Han Sui from a distance, their eyes full of respect and worship.
This old man has struggled all his life for Xiliang, indomitable and exhausted. Although today's Xiliang is in a critical situation, and the situation is more sinister than more than ten years ago, as long as the old man is still alive, as long as the old man's flute is still echoing under the vast sky of Xiliang, Xiliang will finally be able to stabilize one day, and Xiliang people will finally be able to live a long-awaited peaceful life.
The sound of sudden hooves came from far and near, one after another. Messengers rushed from all over the battlefield.
Yang Fu asked the guards to stop them far away, and there was only one reply: insist, gritted his teeth and insisted.
After a long time, the sound of the flute gradually became higher, and the sad sound faintly carried a trace of murder.
Han Sui's body suddenly straightened, and he seemed to have returned to the years of the past, back to the heroic era of scolding Fang Xuan and pointing out the country.
"Wen Yue, Wen Yue ......" Liu Shao came with a hoarse cry with anger and panic, "The three generals Xia Zhao, Liang Xing and Ma Yu can't hold on, please Wen Yue agree to our request and immediately send troops to support." ”
The flute stopped abruptly.
Yang Fu, Han Yi and the others glared at Liu Shao fiercely, eager to rush up and beat him up. Recently, the lord has rarely played the flute, and he finally took a break to relax, but he ruined this bastard who is not long-eyed. The battle situation in Guanzhong is under the control of the lord, how much can happen in a short period of time?
Han Sui slowly opened his eyes, held the horizontal flute in his hand, and slowly looked up at the sky.
It was nearly noon.
"Wenyue, the left flank army of the Northern Frontier Army suddenly counterattacked. Because the Qiang cavalry left the battlefield without authorization, the number of cavalry was seriously insufficient, resulting in our army being unable to effectively block the attack of the Northern Xinjiang Army. Xia Zhao's army was dealt a heavy blow as a result, and its defeat was imminent. Liu Shao turned a blind eye to the dissatisfaction of Yang Fu and the others, rushed to the bottom of the tree in three or two steps, and waved his arms excitedly at Han Sui.
Liu Shao, Deng Sheng and others saw that Xia Zhao's army was in danger, and urgently urged Gao Gan to send troops to rescue, but Gao Gan took the overall situation into account and was worried that his premature attack would affect Han Sui's control of the entire battle situation, so he did not agree, but repeatedly sent people to ask Han Sui's opinion, but Han Sui's reply was the same.
Liu Shao was so anxious that he couldn't hold back his eagerness, and personally rushed to the Chinese army to persuade Han Sui.
"After the start of the war, Jiao Touch led an army of 10,000 to fight, and after Jiao Touch died, Xia Zhao brought men and horses to support, and there are currently at most 5,000 foot soldiers left on the right flank battlefield. After the Qiang people left the battlefield, there were only three or four thousand cavalry left, and these people suffered heavy losses after the counteroffensive of the Northern Xinjiang Army, and now they have withdrawn to both sides of the battlefield on the right flank to protect the infantry army. Now on the battlefield, only Xia Zhao's army is fighting against more than 10,000 Northern Xinjiang troops, and he can't stop it at all. Once Xia Zhao's army collapses, the morale of the army will definitely be weakened, and the battle behind will not be able to be fought. ”
Han Sui frowned and was silent.
Due to the problems of the Western Liang cavalry itself, the offensive of the coalition forces on both flanks of the battlefield did not achieve the expected goals. Now that the coalition forces are unable to suppress the Northern Frontier Army, of course, they cannot force the Northern Frontier Army to throw all their troops on the battlefield. On the contrary, the Northern Frontier Army took advantage of the favorable situation on the battlefield and launched a counteroffensive on both flanks. Their purpose was obvious, to force themselves to quickly dispatch all their armies.
"Wenyue, the Northern Frontier Army has counterattacked on all fronts, and they should have no army." Liu Shao said eagerly, "Even if they still have troops, they are only reserve troops stationed in the city, and the number will not be too many." ”
"How much do you know about Li Yi?" Han Sui asked suddenly.
Liu Shao was stunned for a moment and shook his head. He was not familiar with Li Yi and had no way of understanding him.
"Li Yi is now the great Sima and general of the Jicheng Imperial Court, and he is powerful. But he came from a humble background, his father was exiled to Youzhou, and he was able to go from a white body to the current third prince in just a dozen years, how much hardship he had to pay, do you know? ”
"What does Wen Yue mean is that Li Yi has the absolute certainty of victory?" Liu Shao asked nervously.
Han Sui's face turned worried, and he said slowly: "I have studied Li Yi's battle cases over the years, and he will leave himself a back hand almost at any time, so he can continue to win. Li Yi definitely still has troops in his hands, but we don't know how many there are. Therefore, we must not expose our forces too early, we must not prematurely reveal the direction of the main attack, and we must wait a little longer to ensure that nothing goes wrong. ”
Although Liu Shao was saddened by the losses of his own army, he had to admit that Han Sui's speculation was very reasonable. Yuan Shao can't afford to lose this battle, and once he loses, not only will the prospects be bleak, but he is more likely to lose Luoyang and collapse.
He thought about it for a while, and sighed helplessly: "Since Wen Yue is unwilling to expose his troops and the direction of the main attack too early, he must think of another way to lure the enemy, and he can't fight so hard." We can't afford to fight like this. ”
"How long can the left and right flanks last?" Han Sui nodded and turned his head to ask Yang Fu.
"There are cavalry on the right flank of the battlefield to help, and it can still be supported. In addition, General Gao Gan's main army was on standby on the right flank, and if Xia Zhao's army slowly retreated, it would be extremely advantageous for us to quickly encircle the enemy in the event of a counteroffensive. Yang Fu said, "In comparison, the left-wing battlefield is very dangerous. The cavalry of Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi on the battlefield on the left flank is now entangled by the cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army, and has been unable to support Li Kan's infantry army, and Li Kan's infantry and Zhang Heng's infantry who later supported it are retreating after being defeated by the crazy counterattack of the Northern Xinjiang Army because of the lack of cavalry cover, and the situation is very critical. ”
Before Yang Fu finished speaking, Liu Shao was unhappy. He said in his heart that the battlefield on the left flank is all your Xiliang's elite, and there is also a cavalry fighting on the battlefield, this situation is still dangerous, and you are too good at it.
He was about to ridicule him, but Han Sui said a fair word in time and blocked his mouth.
"The battlefield on the left flank can also be supported at present, so let's concentrate our forces to hit the middle lane first." Han Sui said, "Let's immediately encircle and annihilate the enemy army in the middle and see how Li Yi responds." How many infantry troops are there on our left flank now? ”
In order to help Ma Chao attack the middle lane, Han Sui had already transferred Yan Xing's 5,000 cavalry from the reserve army. Considering the needs of the overall situation, the remaining 15,000 reserve troops could no longer move in any case, and could only requisition troops from other places to support the center.
"And fifteen thousand." Yang Fu said, "My lord, I think it is more appropriate to use these fifteen thousand men to counterattack the Northern Frontier Army on the battlefield on the left flank. At present, the enemy on the battlefield in the middle lane is about 500 paces away from Wannian City, and if we increase our forces to surround and annihilate them, they will definitely withdraw into the city. In this way, not only will we not be able to lure out Li Yi's reserve army, but we are more likely to lose the two wings of the battlefield, so ......"
"Don't fight." Han Sui saw that Liu Shao's face was not good, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Immediately send an order and let Cheng Yin take an army of 15,000 to support the middle road." ”
If the Northern Xinjiang Army is attacked in the middle, the Xiliang Army will directly threaten the city, and Li Yi has only two ways to meet the enemy. One is to transfer troops from within the city to support, and the other is to order the troops on the two flanks of the battlefield to quickly shrink and move closer to the Chinese army.
If the Northern Frontier Army adopts the first method, the coalition forces will immediately achieve their goal, and the main army can pour out.
If Li Yi is still holding on, then the crisis on the battlefield on the two flanks can be alleviated, and Ma Chao and Yan Xing, who occupy the middle lane, can also cut off the retreat of the Northern Xinjiang Army on the battlefield on the two flanks, which can also achieve the purpose of luring out all the Northern Xinjiang Army.
