Chapter 0913 - All the Means

Yan Xing and his 5,000 soldiers were like rainbows, and they rushed through the arrow array, like a raging hurricane, overwhelmingly crashing into the battle formation of the Northern Frontier Army. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Probably because of the time constraints, the battle formation was not solid, and Yan Xing's subordinates were not afraid of life and death, and under the repeated impacts, they actually broke through the "black city wall" and forcibly broke into the battle formation.

In order to kill the enemy, a captain of the Northern Xinjiang Military Academy with a team of soldiers pounced fiercely.

After a bloody battle, the Xiliang people left dozens of corpses, and the gap was gradually blocked.

But at this moment, the Xiliang people organized an even more fierce charge.

The lieutenant was exhausted, but he continued to fight with his men.

A wounded horse roared towards him, and several shield-bearers were caught off guard and flew into the air, and the royal chamber and the three spearmen standing behind the shield-bearers pierced four spears into the horses' chests and abdomen almost at the same time.

The war horse neighed in pain, and its huge body took a few more steps, and finally fell to the ground with a bang. The captain closest to the war horse couldn't dodge and was knocked to the ground by the war horse that fell to the ground with a bang.

Before he could stand up, the Xiliang cavalry on horseback had already roared loudly and stabbed into the lieutenant's back. The captain screamed and died.

The death of the captain greatly hit the morale of the Northern Xinjiang Army, although the soldiers roared like thunder and fought bravely, but the gap in the battle formation was getting bigger and bigger.

Huang Zhong came with the support of his own guards.

"Stand the shield, stand the ......shield," Huang Zhong shouted hoarsely, "brothers, raise your spears and kill the enemy." ”

The Xiliang cavalry rushed up, and the sturdy war horses were frantically slamming into the tall shields under the whipping of the cavalry.

………………

Huangfu Li stretched out his hand and knocked on the table, and said to Li Yi: "Lord, hurry up." If you play chess like this, you won't be able to finish it at night. ”

"Are you in a hurry?" Li Yi looked at him with a smile and said, "Your chess skills have improved a lot, and I can't cope with it." ”

"The lord is busy with military and political affairs, and his chess skills will inevitably decline." Huangfu Li smiled, "I have been filial piety for three years, and I have been dealing with chess pieces all day long, and of course my chess skills have improved." ”

Li Yi hesitated, holding the chess pieces and not making a move.

"Lord, Han Sui increased his troops in the middle and is fighting to the death around General Huang Zhong." Xu Shu hurriedly walked over, "General Han Xian asked to go to war, you see ......"

"Reinforcement in the middle? How many people? Li Yi stared at the chessboard with his eyes and asked casually.

Xu Shu replied, "About four or five thousand people, judging from the banner, it is Yan Xing's army. ”

"That's Han Sui's elite cavalry." Huangfu Li said in surprise, "It seems that Han Sui wants to defeat our middle lane and cut off the connection between the left and right flanks of our army. In other words, he does not want to use the main forces to attack for the time being. ”

Li Yi looked up at the sky and said lightly: "It's still early, it is estimated that he will have to wait, so that he can not only consume our troops, but also find out the deployment of our troops." ”

"Once Han Sui learns that the Qiang people have been ambushed, he must know that we still have troops at hand. In the absence of any way to judge how much strength we have, it is highly likely that he will order the withdrawal of Chang'an. Xu Shu said worriedly, "Han Sui must be allowed to throw all his troops on the battlefield as soon as possible, and I am afraid that something will change." ”

"Where is Hou Junji now?" Li Yi asked suddenly.

Xu Shu replied: "According to the order of the lord, he should have crossed the Jingshui River from the direction of Chiyang last night, if nothing else, he is now about to reach Gaoling, about a hundred miles from the battlefield." ”

"Send someone to meet him at once, and tell him to speed up the march, and he must rush to the battlefield before dusk." Li Yi said, "In addition, I urgently inform Xu Rong and Xian Yuyin that our army has failed to lure the Xiliang people away from the battlefield and cannot implement an ambush strategy, so please return to the battlefield immediately." ”

Xu Shu bowed down and agreed: "Lord, General Han Xian asked to go to war and reinforce the middle lane, you see ......"

"Who is Hansheng? forced him to be anxious, and Ma Chao and Yan Xing both suffered big losses. Li Yi shook his head casually, put the chess pieces in his hand to his lips and licked them, "Tell Sun Li to tell him to take the initiative to attack and quickly form a counteroffensive on the battlefield on the left and right flanks." ”

"But......" Xu Shu hurriedly said, "the Qiang people will soon be surrounded and annihilated, and Han Sui will get the news immediately, if ......"

"We don't get support in the middle, but both wings are counterattacking at the same time, this is the best opportunity for Han Sui to encircle and annihilate one of our wings, I believe he will not miss it." As Li Yi spoke, he put the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard, and when the chess pieces were in place, he hurriedly put the chess pieces back.

"Lord, don't regret it." Huangfu Li immediately stretched out his hand to stop it.

"Do I regret it?" Li Yi turned his head to look at Xu Shu.

Xu Shu smiled lightly, shook his hand again and again, and said, "No, I didn't see the lord fall into place." ”

"How can you open your eyes and tell nonsense?" Huangfu Li complained dissatisfiedly, "The lord was obviously a repentant son just now. ”

Li Yi frowned slightly, and looked at Xu Shu with a smile.

Xu Shu understood, turned around and ran.

………………

Ten miles southeast of the battlefield, the Xiaowei River.

Murong Han galloped all the way with the cavalry. Due to the continuous galloping, the horses were physically exhausted, and their speed became slower and slower. And the Qiang people who were in hot pursuit were the same, in order to maintain the physical strength of the war horse, they had to slow down. The two armies approached one after the other, gradually approaching the canal.

......Suddenly, a long horn spread throughout the sky with the fresh river breeze.

Then, the Qiang people saw a scene that made them despair.

Countless cavalry from the north appeared on the river embankment, stretching from one end of the sky to the other end of the sky, densely packed, like a lush forest suddenly appeared on the river embankment.

Xiao Shuaijia grabbed the reins of the horse. The war horse suffered pain, stood upright, and neighed with its neck up.

There was an ambush, and the Northern Frontier Army even had cavalry lying in ambush under the canal, waiting for their own death.

Fooled.

"Withdraw, withdraw quickly...... Xiao Shuaijia tore his throat and shouted hoarsely, "Withdraw quickly......"

All the Qiang people stopped their horses at the first time, then turned their horses' heads, and ran away.

Just now, in order to chase and kill the cavalry in the northern frontier, the Qiang people drove their horses to chase ten miles, and the people and horses were exhausted, and they couldn't run even if they wanted to.

The roar of the Northern Xinjiang Army was like thunder, and 18,000 iron horsemen under the leadership of Zhang Liao, Gao Chong, Li Cunxiao, and Hao Meng poured down like a flood that burst the embankment, accompanied by a deafening roar, and the mighty flood destroyed and decayed, trampling all the creatures in the field under the iron hooves, and swept them away.

Murong Han and the cavalry of the headquarters stopped their horses panting, and turned to look at the battlefield.

One by one, the Qiang people lay on the back of their horses, beating their horses fiercely, eager to leave this place of death in an instant. Blood filled the field, and the fear of death took over their hearts, causing them to lose their courage and fighting spirit. All they have on their minds is to flee, and the farther away they are, the better.

The Northern Frontier Army was like a bloodthirsty beast, opening its bloody mouth, stretching out its sharp claws, roaring all the way, devouring its prey unscrupulously.

After a frantic gallop, Zhang Liao and Hao Meng led the army to plug in from both wings and successfully surrounded the Qiang people. Gao Zhong and Li Cunxiao each led three thousand guards to ride heavily, like two sharp long arrows rushing into the enemy formation, which was overwhelming. For a time, arrows flew sideways, severed limbs and stumps flew all over the sky, and the Qiang people, who had no power to fight back, were bloodily slaughtered.

"Go, go, kill ......"

Murong Han's blood boiled, and he smashed his fist on the horse's back, and the war horse neighed loudly, jumped into the air, and galloped away towards the battlefield. The subordinates cheered in unison, raised their weapons, and roared to kill.

The Qiang people Xiao Shuai Jia and Xiao Shuai Bing took the lead in killing with their own personal guards, and they tore through the encirclement of the Northern Xinjiang Army and fled in the direction of the Weishui River with about 2,000 people.

Gao Zhong and Li Cunxiao led the army to chase and kill only more than a mile before ordering to stop the pursuit.

"Why don't you chase?" Li Cunxiao asked angrily.

This was the first time he had led the cavalry of the Guards to chase and kill the enemy, and he was killing vigorously, and when Pang Zhangliao ordered the pursuit to stop, he was so angry that he jumped like thunder.

"This is just a small ambush, not a decisive battle, the battlefield of our decisive battle is in Wannian City, ten miles away." Zhang Liao hurriedly explained, "We are about to rush to the battlefield to engage tens of thousands of enemies, so we need time and plenty of physical strength. ”

………………

Northwest of the battlefield.

In order to tear apart the phalanx as soon as possible, Li Kan and Zhang Heng's Xiliang infantry army deployed the army in front of the phalanx, and organized more than a dozen attack squads to repeatedly attack, trying to break through the defense of the phalanx, and then let the cavalry attack.

Who knew that after more than an hour of fierce fighting, his cavalry was still blocked on the side of the battlefield and did not reach the kill.

At this time, the Northern Xinjiang Army suddenly launched a counteroffensive, and the phalanx in a short period of time changed from an impregnable "fortress" to a surging "wave". The dozen or so assault teams that were attacking were swallowed up by the invincible storm in the blink of an eye.

Li Kan and Zhang Heng were shocked, and hurriedly ordered to form a formation to hold on, stabilize their positions, beat war drums, erect the banner of "Double Rabbit", and asked Yang Qiu, who was fighting fiercely on the battlefield a mile away, for the support of the brigade.

Sun Li commanded the army to set off a storm and advance bravely. He wanted to take advantage of the Xiliang cavalry before it arrived, and use the superior forces to surround the Xiliang infantry army on the opposite side and encircle and annihilate it.

"General, the enemy has called for help." One of Sun Li's subordinates pointed to the "Double Rabbit" banner in the enemy formation and shouted, "Send people to kill the enemy's flank and block the support of the enemy's cavalry." ”

Sun Li nodded repeatedly. He was worried that his own troops were insufficient to entangle the Xiliang cavalry, so he hurriedly ordered Li Le, who was reorganizing the army in the rear of the army, to immediately intervene and attack from the flank of the Xiliang infantry army, destroy the defense of the Xiliang people as soon as possible, and surround the Xiliang infantry army.

"Drum ......" Sun Li turned around and waved vigorously at the heralds, and said loudly, "Tell the subordinates to attack immediately and surround the enemy." (To be continued.) )
