Liu Shao accepted this method and left. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But as soon as Liu Shao left, Yang Fu and Han Yi surrounded Han Sui on the left and right, and tried their best to persuade Han Sui to transfer troops to support the Xiliang army on the left flank.

Supporting the battlefield on the left flank can first help Li Kan and Zhang Heng get out of the current predicament, and can rescue Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi's cavalry from the unfavorable situation of entanglement, so that the losses of the Xiliang army can be greatly reduced. Secondly, the sudden dispatch of troops to support the left-wing battlefield is likely to make the Northern Xinjiang Army make a wrong judgment and mistakenly believe that the main direction of attack of the Western Liang Army is the left-wing battlefield, so as to transfer out the possible troops in Li Yi's hands.

In addition, Han Yi also said a reason. Ma Chao and his army were always a threat to Han Sui. Ma Chao is capricious, hot-tempered, and not trustworthy at all. When Ma Chao was in Jincheng, he had close contacts with Zhang Liao, the general of Northern Xinjiang, and he and Yuan Shao had a deep enmity like the sea, once he was opposed by the Northern Xinjiang Army, the consequences would be unimaginable. It is better to take this opportunity to weaken his strength and gradually remove his threat completely.

Han Sui was moved, and after a little consideration, he categorically ordered Han Yi and Cheng Yin to lead an army of 15,000 infantry soldiers to support the battlefield on the left flank, and at the same time ordered Ma Chao and Yan Xing to strengthen the offensive at all costs, and be sure to defeat the northern Xinjiang army in the middle and cut off the enemy's retreat on the battlefield on both flanks as soon as possible.

………………

Northwest of the battlefield.

On the left flank of the battlefield, the cavalry of both sides rushed back and forth on the west side of the battlefield, while the infantry armies of both sides fought bloodily on the east side of the battlefield.

Suddenly, a fierce sound of war drums soared into the sky, shaking the earth. Tens of thousands of soldiers who were fighting endlessly woke up and looked up into the distance in unison.

Xiliang reinforcements came rapidly along the middle of the two battlefields, and their flags in the sky were like colorful clouds, rolling and whistling all the way.

Hu Cai's army was on the flank of the battlefield on the east side, and it happened to collide head-on with the Xiliang reinforcements.

Hu Cai scolded a few words angrily, and said with a murderous look on his face: "Order all departments, turn the formation, and prepare to fight to the death." ”

Thousands of officers and men quickly broke away from the main battlefield under the command of the command of the command of the flag and drum and trumpet, and formed a "circular" battle formation as quickly as possible. Hu Cai planned to use this battle formation to firmly hold off Xiliang's reinforcements in the center of the two battlefields, and help Sun Li's cavalry and Xu Da's infantry army quickly make deployment adjustments.

The 15,000 Xiliang army, under the command of Han Yi and Cheng Yin, slammed into the northern Xinjiang battle formation with thunder, and the fierce battle began in an instant.

It has been nearly four hours since Hu Cai led the army to fight from the early morning, and although they rested for a while behind Xu Da's phalanx in the middle, they were still too tired compared to the recuperated Xiliang army. The circular battle array finally couldn't hold on to the stormy attacks of the Xiliang people, and a hole was opened, which quickly grew and was out of control.

Hu Cai was furious and took his own guards to kill him.

The Xiliang people suddenly found that there was a general of the Northern Xinjiang Army on the other side, and their morale was greatly boosted, and they sacrificed their lives and died to step forward bravely, vowing to cut off his head to receive the reward. But although Hu Cai has a poor reputation in the Northern Xinjiang Army, he is also a general with a force value of more than 70 after all, which is not comparable to ordinary soldiers. He and several guards formed a small attack battle formation, and in a short period of time, he cut down a dozen enemies.

Just when they were about to kill the enemy in one go, Hu Cai was plotted by the enemy. Before he died, a Xiliang soldier pulled the trigger of a crossbow, and three crossbow arrows shot through his body in an instant.

Hu Cai fell on his back and was devastated on the spot.

Hu Cai died, and his subordinates went crazy and attacked with their lives. The circular battle formation gradually loosened and crumbled.

Xu Da was shocked and angry, and commanded the army to quickly move closer to them. If Hu Cai's army was routed, the blow to morale would be too great, and the situation on the entire battlefield could be reversed.

"Kill, kill...... Lean up ......" Xu Da galloped back and forth in the formation, shouting loudly, encouraging the soldiers to sacrifice their lives and speed up their attacks.

Zhang Heng, the general of Xiliang, led his army to block the attack, intending to prevent the meeting of the two northern Xinjiang armies. Now Han Yi and Cheng Yin are directing the army to besiege Li Le's subordinates, as long as this army can be defeated, the Xiliang people will be able to grasp the initiative on the battlefield on the left flank, and may defeat the Northern Xinjiang Army and take the lead in establishing the advantage of a great victory.

Xu Da was in a hurry, and personally ran to the front line to supervise the battle, and yelled at the deputy general Guo Huai: "Open the passage for me immediately, open it immediately, otherwise I will cut you." ”

"Fight." Guo Huai roared angrily, pointed at the herald and shouted angrily, "Command the chariot battalion, drag the ballista over to me, all of them." ”

"Boom...... Boom ......" The crossbow carts of the Northern Xinjiang Army continued to roar, thrilling. The people of Xiliang were caught off guard, and the soldiers fell down one by one like grass mustard on the field.

Zhang Heng saw that his army had suffered heavy losses, and if he continued to fight like this, he would soon lose his combat effectiveness, so he hurriedly ordered a retreat. But just as he gave the order, the crossbow and crossbow carts of the Northern Frontier Army were already approaching.

In a deafening roar, Zhang Heng flew up with arrows all over his body.

Zhang Heng was killed, the Northern Xinjiang Army was red-eyed again, the blockers were invincible, and the Xiliang people were frightened, and retreated repeatedly, allowing the two Northern Xinjiang armies to meet smoothly.

………………

Mid lane on the battlefield.

Ma Chao and his subordinates persevered, launching round after round of attacks around He Huangzhong's army. As the casualties of the Northern Xinjiang Army increased, the number of battle formations being broken through became more and more.

Pang Rou stormed the "fortress" for the third time.

Under the command of Captain Du Ping, the soldiers in Northern Xinjiang blocked and killed layer by layer. In the heat of the scuffle, Du Ping was impaled through the body by the spears of the Xiliang people. Cheng Ran's guards desperately rescued him, but he still died tragically in great pain.

Huang Zhong lost two lieutenant generals of the unified army in half a day, and he was so angry that he almost lost his mind. He took Wang Shuang and a group of scarred guards to cut off Pang Rou's retreat, killed Pang Rou and more than a hundred Xiliang soldiers, and hung their heads high.

Ma Chao was enraged, and in order to avenge his brother, he commanded the cavalry to launch a crazy retaliatory attack on the Northern Frontier Army.

The battle is getting bloodier and more fierce.

………………

Ten Thousand Years City.

The sun was past noon, and the sun was like fire.

Li Yizheng was chatting with Huangfu Li, and the scout rushed over and reported: "Lord, Han Sui's main force has been dispatched.

"Which direction? How many people? Li Yi and Huangfu Li were overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly walked to the city wall and looked at the battlefield. Although they couldn't see the battlefield on both flanks from miles away, they still subconsciously looked into the distance.

The scout followed behind Li Yi and gave a brief account of the battle situation on the right-wing battlefield.

Hearing that the general Hu Cai was killed, Li Yi was very surprised and didn't speak for a long time.

Although this general of the White Polish Army is not his descendant, he has performed very bravely in the Northern Xinjiang Army over the years, and has also made a lot of military achievements. But I didn't expect to die on the battlefield in Guanzhong this time.

"That's not Han Sui's main force." Huangfu Li was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Although Han Sui continuously increased his troops on the battlefield on the right flank, throwing in about thirty or forty thousand, they were all from Xiliang, not Yuan Shao's army. Therefore, the right-wing battlefield should not be Han Sui's main direction of attack. I think this is Han Sui's trick to lure the enemy. ”

"We don't know how many troops Yuan Shao sent to Guanzhong to participate in the war." Xu Shu said, "Maybe it's 50,000, maybe it's 60,000, maybe they're wearing the clothes and armor of the Xiliang people and they're confusing us." Han Sui increased his troops in such echelons, constantly depleting our troops, and it is very likely that he will launch the final blow on the battlefield on the right flank. ”

Xu Shu turned his head to look at Xu Liyi and suggested, "Lord, we can now transfer all the reserve troops to the battlefield." ”

Li Yi hesitated.

"My lord, Yue Fei, Hua Xiong and others have been counterattacking on the left flank battlefield for a long time, and the enemy has retreated one after another, and they are in danger, but we have not seen their reinforcements yet." Xu Shu persuaded again, "The number of cavalry of the Xiliang people on the left flank battlefield is very small, if Han Sui throws all the main forces on the left flank battlefield for a decisive battle, his losses may be very large, so ......"

"How's the battle going in the middle?" Li Yi interrupted Xu Shu's words and pointed to the battlefield directly opposite outside the city.

"After several hours of fierce fighting, Huang Zhong and Yang Feng's mid-lane army suffered heavy losses, and now there are only more than 12,000 foot soldiers, while Ma Chao and Yan Xing have about 10,000 cavalry, and there is a certain gap in the strength of the two sides." Xu Shu said, "If this stalemate continues, Huang Zhong and Yang Feng's losses will be greater and greater. By the time their army had lost three men and could not keep the phalanx intact, the defeat of the central army was inevitable. If the lord wanted to reduce the losses of the army in the middle lane, it was best to let Huang Zhong withdraw immediately. ”

Li Yi asked again: "Did Huang Zhong ask for help?" ”

"Nope. However, he has already raised the banner of 'Heavenly Dog' three times, asking for a weapon replenishment, and it is estimated that he is running out of long arrows in his hand now. ”

Li Yi walked back and forth on the city wall with his hands behind his back for a few steps, then stopped and looked at the right-wing battlefield in the distance, hesitating.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Can Sun Li still stop the Xiliang people?" ”

Xu Shu replied: "It's okay for now, but Sun Li reported that his losses are getting bigger and bigger, and it's best to get support as soon as possible." ”

Li Yi asked again: "How long can Xu Da hold on?" ”

"This ......" Xu Shu hesitated for a moment and said with a wry smile, "Lord, at the beginning of the war, you said that you would give up the idea of saving the Xiliang army, but why are you ...... now?" You must know that the people of Xiliang have just been transferred to the new force, and Xu Da has been fighting for four hours, and the soldiers are exhausted, and he can't hold out for long. ”

"Since you can still hold on, let's wait a little longer." Huangfu Li said without hesitation, "The battlefield on the right flank is full of Xiliang troops, if they are all killed, Xijiang will become a big trouble for the imperial court, and it will seriously hinder the pace of the imperial court to pacify the world."
