Zhang Ji was very angry, but he couldn't think of any effective countermeasures, because his mind was in chaos, and he was completely stunned by this sudden blow.

It is not surprising that his forward cavalry was defeated, but it is too strange to be defeated by such a tragic spectacle. The cavalry commander was killed, and only a few hundred of the 2,000 cavalry remained.

In the blink of an eye, the two thousand elite horses under his command were gone. With so many cavalry, even if they are thrown into the river to fight in the water, they can still listen to the movement, why are they gone?

The Qiang people are really stupid, since they found out that the enemy is Li Yi, how could that Qiang Hu dare to fight him? Even if you haven't seen it, you should always know the other party's record, right? At these ages, that young man almost single-handedly put down the ant thief rebellion in the Han Dynasty, and fought foreign wars for many years, and laid down another territory of the Great Han Kingdom. The Liaodong Zhuhu, Xiongnu, Wuhuan and Xianbei people who were destroyed by him were not muddy, this mighty record is real!

As a result, it was not surprising that the forward troops led by Qiang Hu all retreated, and among the people who fled back, the highest official position was actually a team leader!

This team did not bring back any useful information other than the number of enemy troops.

But this harvest didn't help Zhang Ji at all, it only deepened his confusion.

How did your two thousand elite horsemen lose? They were all 2,000 men and horses, all light cavalry, and one of them was wiped out on their own side, which ...... How is this possible?

Zhang Ji was angry and confused, his eyes were like spinning knives, stabbing the team leader who fled back in horror, and his body was cold.

But can you blame yourself for this? The brothers marched seventy miles, and in a hurry, they never stopped. When I arrived here, I was already exhausted, and I was bumping into the northern Xinjiang soldiers, who are known as the best in the world, and I would be hell if I could win!

If you guessed correctly, Li Yi also prepared a special killer weapon for this battle, otherwise it would be impossible to charge at once. More than 1,000 horses at the front were solved. When the enemy army killed his position, he was scared stupid, and he should be grateful to the Buddha for being able to escape with his life, how could he still have the energy to investigate the situation of the enemy army?

In the final analysis, it was the fault of Zhang Ji, the main general, that he didn't even identify the enemy's situation, so he urged the brothers to rush to make a long-distance attack, but he hit his head on a stone and burst his brain. Bleeding profusely.

Of course, he definitely didn't dare to say these justifications and refutations, no matter how wrong Zhang Ji was, he was also the main general, and it was not like a joke to clean up a cavalry team that had lost a battle and almost wiped out the entire army? It's only at this time that the fool is in conflict with him.

"General Zhang......" team leader wiped a handful on his gray face, so that Zhang Ji could clearly see the sincerity and flattery in his smile, "The subordinates are willing to make meritorious contributions." He crossed the river to find out the enemy's situation for the general. ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Ji really has the intention to kill the defeated soldiers. But looking back at the appearance of the soldiers under his command like dead dogs, he was not in the mood anymore. The vanguard was defeated, almost annihilated, the army was physically and mentally exhausted, and no matter how many people were killed, it could not inspire the morale of the soldiers, so why bother?

Let alone. There was only this left of the cavalry under his command, but the battle was not over, so what was the use of killing?

However, it was the proposal of the cavalry team to volunteer that made him a little interested.

Li Yi can fight, and he can attack strong with weak. This is nothing new, although it is very unexpected, but Zhang Ji will not dwell on this, at most, he will be more careful when fighting in the back.

What puzzled him the most now was that after defeating his own forward cavalry, why didn't Li Yi take advantage of the victory to pursue and directly attack his own Chinese army? His own Chinese army was numerous, but they were all troops who had passed through a rapid march, and they were all foot soldiers, so it was difficult to resist the onslaught of cavalry.

If it were other enemies, he would guess that the other party was also sleepy, and in order to seek stability, he gave up direct attacks. But since the other party is Li Yi, there is no reason to seek stability, chasing after the routed soldiers and rushing straight over, even if he can't win, he can cause heavy casualties to himself.

Don't fight or retreat, give yourself time to rest, why? There is no doubt that you can only wait for reinforcements, and when the follow-up Northern Xinjiang Army arrives, you can join forces and annihilate your own army.

"It's okay, Ben will allow you to make meritorious contributions...... "After thinking for a moment, Zhang Ji nodded and said.

Then Zhang Ji waved his hand at his own soldiers and shouted: "Pass the order, the whole army will stop, and the whole team will rest in place!" ”

"The whole army stopped...... Rest in place! As soon as they heard this order, the heralds were all in high spirits, and they worked hard to pass on the good news layer by layer.

"Oh!"

"The general is mighty!"

"Great, finally able to catch my breath!"

……

There was a thunderous cheer in the Xiliang army, and the soldiers praised Zhang Ji's benevolence and righteousness loudly, and at the same time began to form the whole team with great enthusiasm, which was very different from the previous procrastination and reluctance.

Just when Zhang Ji felt a little fluttering in the praise of the soldiers, a discordant voice suddenly sounded: "General, General Zhang, can't stop, can't stop here!" ”

Zhang Ji and the cavalry team who was disarmouring and preparing to cross the river were stunned, and when they looked back in amazement, they saw a fast horse rushing up from the rear.

The man ignored the thousands of murderous glances, and shouted as he galloped: "General, please listen to Wang Shuang's words!" ”

"What do you say?" Zhang Ji's brows furrowed.

It's not the right time for Wang Shuang to appear, and as soon as he appears, he will question his authority, where will he put his face? If it weren't for the fact that the other party was a person valued by the lord Dong Zhuo, he would have chopped him up and thrown him into the river to feed Wang Ba.

"General, don't you hear that morale can be boosted?" Wang Shuang looked at Zhang Ji's sharp gaze and persuaded with a stiff neck, "Our army is coming from a long distance, the enemy situation is unknown, and we will lose for a while, if we don't move, this morale will plummet for thousands of miles, and it will be out of control!" ”

"A thousand miles?" Zhang Ji sneered, raised his chin to signal around, and snorted coldly, "But why do you think that the morale of the brothers is very high right now?" I only thought that Wang Sima was superior in your martial arts, but I didn't expect that even your eyes could see what no one had ever seen! ”

"Haha......" Zhang Ji's ridicule was not funny, but there was still a burst of laughter around him. The generals and colonels were already tired, not to mention that the enemy in front of them was still the terrible hussar general, and no one wanted to rush to death. Zhang Ji's order to find out the enemy's situation and recuperate and prepare for war was exactly what they wanted, so how could there be any reason not to help make a coax at this time?

"That's ......" Wang Shuang was so anxious that his face was red, he wanted to say that this was a return to the light, and after a short rest, this army would completely lose its combat effectiveness, but he couldn't say it directly, otherwise there would be too many people offended.

Under the cover of breathing, Wang Shuang said slowly: "General Mingjian, after this breath is discharged, it will be difficult to urge the soldiers to enter the army, so it is better to ......."

"How about it?" Zhang Ji exhaled from his nostrils, his face full of contempt, "Wang Sima won't be afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and he wants to propose to withdraw his troops, right?" ”

"Of course not." If possible, Wang Shuang really wanted to propose this. However, the Xiliang soldiers were originally tired soldiers, and if they lost for a while and gave the order to retreat in vain, eighty percent would evolve into a rout.

Even if it wasn't that bad, the hussar general Li Yi was already known for being good at grasping fighters, and he couldn't give up this opportunity. As long as the Northern Xinjiang Light Cavalry launches a cover-up kill, the Xiliang army will only collapse, and there is no chance of luck.

Wang Shuang gritted his teeth and said categorically: "The best way is to take advantage of this breath and rush up and fight with the Northern Xinjiang Light Cavalry!" In what he thought, the reason why Li Yi didn't take advantage of the victory to attack was because he was reluctant to fight with us with his elite horses! Although he has now occupied Luoyang, he is alone after all, and there are definitely not many troops, so he ......"

"Go up and attack now?" Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Ji interrupted him with a glare.

The surrounding generals also looked at him with monster-like eyes, and they all made mocking remarks.

"Wang Sima wants to make meritorious contributions, does he want to go crazy?"

"Don't say if you can win the fight, even if Li Yi really runs away, how will our foot soldiers chase him?"

"Crazy, crazy, brothers don't pay attention to him, rest in place after the whole team is formed, and wait for the enemy to be discovered, and then make a decision!"

……

No one was willing to listen to Wang Shuang's words anymore, and the generals dispersed in a hurry. The soldiers also hurried to form a phalanx that was not very neat, and then gasped, sat down on the ground, and exhaled comfortably. What's more, as soon as he sat down, he fell crooked, and after a while, he snored and fell asleep.

Wang Shuangqi stomped his feet, but he was helpless, he was still young, his official position was not high, he couldn't persuade Zhang Ji, and he couldn't convince the public, in the face of this situation, he only sighed.

………………

Five miles away from the Xiliang Army, Li Yi led two thousand hussars to guard solemnly.

The scout Pegasus came and reported loudly: "Report...... Lord, Zhang Ji is standing still and is deploying in place! ”

Li Yi laughed and said: "Luck is coming, I really can't stop it." Dong Zhuo really doesn't know how to use people, he just wanted to give him a dismount, who would have thought that he would have another big victory. ”

Wei Yan asked puzzledly, "Why did the lord say this?" At this moment, Zhang Ji still has 8,000 men and horses in his hands, and his strength is four times that of our army. If we really want to fight, our army's chances of victory are not great! ”

Li Yi smiled mysteriously, and said in his heart that Wei Yan had not been under his command for a long time after all, otherwise how could he ask such a question?

Don't talk about the generals, even if it's these pro-soldiers around you, no one asks this question. This is not just because of their blind worship of themselves, but because there is a precedent. (To be continued.) )
