【Chapter 315】 The Blood of the Remnant Yang Blood Stains the Sky 5
Under the banner of the commander of Wuwei Zhongjun.
Li Li sat on the back of the Golden Lion Beast King, and watched Zhang Ji fall from his horse and die with cold eyes, his expression was not shocked, and his eyes were cold.
What role Zhang Jiqi played between the Wuwei Army and the Xiliang Army, what he did couldn't be concealed at all.
Chang'an City is so big, hundreds of thousands of soldiers are crowded around the same city, and the two armies are facing each other. No matter who pretends to be smart and makes small moves, they can't hide the eyes and ears of the two armies and scouts. As long as you pay a little attention, the commanders of the two armies will be the first to know when there is a stir.
Zhang Ji thought he was very clever and hid in the shadows to sow discord between the two armies, which led to a sharp deterioration of the original contradictions between the two armies, forcing the two armies to decide the ownership of Chang'an City through a decisive battle.
With such a villain's behavior, maybe Li Ji is dark under the lights, and he can't see through Zhang Ji's tricks in a short time, but Li Li can see it clearly and clearly. It's just that he already had the idea of fighting with the Xiliang Army, so he has been silent, ignoring Zhang Ji's instigation left and right, but instead taking advantage of the situation and not hesitating to fight head-on with the Xiliang Army. However, this does not mean that he can endlessly indulge Zhang Ji's reckless behavior, taking advantage of the confrontation between the two armies to fish in troubled waters, waiting for an opportunity to increase his own strength.
On the contrary, Li Li has long had the heart to get rid of Zhang Ji, and he also has this strength. It's just that due to the situation and the emotions of many Xiliang generals, he is worried that the early eradication of Zhang Ji is likely to lead to the death of the rabbit and the fox of the Xiliang generals, and they will form a group and resist the Wuwei army with the same hatred and hatred, which will lead to a situation where it is difficult to ride a tiger. Therefore, he endured Zhang Ji again and again, just treating Zhang Ji as a-stirring stick, out of sight is clean, and put it aside for the time being.
In fact, just before the decisive battle between the two armies, although Li Li was very disgusted with Zhang Ji's villainous behavior, he saw that he had more than 20,000 soldiers under his account and his nephew Zhang Xiu was also a general. In order to stabilize the overall situation of Xiliang, he once considered putting aside his personal grievances for the time being, sparing Zhang Ji's life, and giving him another wealth and wealth, so that he could be a rich man and live for a long time.
In front of the two armies, Li Li was 60% sure to persuade Li Dao to stop the army and make peace, and the uncle and nephew jointly held the power of the world. Because the strength of the Wuwei Army has been shown in front of the two armies, the capture of Guo Yan and Duan Xuan, and the successive victories, the deterrent effect on the Xiliang Army is also obvious.
In such an extremely advantageous situation. The two armies stopped fighting and ceremonious, avoiding a large-scale battle between the two armies, and Li Li was also able to realize his intention of taking over the entire Xiliang army, and then pushed Li Dao to the court and took charge of the world. It's the best of both worlds. Why not. The direct benefit of this is to preserve the strength of the Xiliang Army to the greatest extent. Avoid needless bloodshed.
Just when Li Li thought that something big could be done. Zhang Ji suddenly sent his nephew Zhang Xiu out to stir up the situation, causing his peace plan to fall short. Because of this, Li Li, who was rarely angry, was furious, and then vented his anger on Zhang Xiu, and as soon as he made a move, he killed Zhang Xiu as fast as lightning.
It's just that what Li Li didn't expect was. As soon as Zhang Xiu died, Zhang Ji actually frantically snatched Li Dao's sword and brazenly ordered the Tiger Camp to attack.
The contradictions between Li Li and Zhang Ji have been going on for a long time, and the two sides have repeatedly fought against each other. The grudge is getting deeper and deeper, and it is impossible to reconcile it. Li Li originally wanted to recruit Zhang Ji's troops and horses, so he planned to spare his life, but Zhang Ji ordered the Huben battalion to attack without authorization, which directly ignited the flames of all-out melee fighting between the two armies, and a bloody battle was inevitable.
It is true: it is still against heaven to do evil, and it is impossible to live for oneself to do evil.
At that moment, Li Li hated to break Zhang Ji's body into thousands of pieces to vent his anger. So after he returned to the military formation, he instructed Li Zhi to keep an eye on the tension, find the most suitable time, and kill him.
After the fierce battle between the two armies for more than half an hour, just when Zhang Ji thought that revenge was possible, he didn't know that someone had been eyeing him for a long time. So Zhang Ji was in the midst of raising his arms and shouting, and was in high spirits, he was pierced through the throat by Li Zhi with an arrow and died instantly.
It's just that to Li Li's surprise, his uncle Li Ji was secretly attacked in the tiger camp under his command before, and when Zhang Ji died, he was also shot into a hornet's nest by hundreds of assassins. With such a superficial plot, a discerning person can see at a glance that there is an inevitable connection between these two assassinations, and the person who was waiting for the opportunity to release a cold arrow to assassinate Li Ji was instigated by Zhang Ji, and the person who shot Zhang Ji was obviously sent by Li Ji. The intrigue between the generals of Xiliang can be seen from this.
Looking coldly at Zhang Ji's dead body, as well as the tens of thousands of soldiers who were scared to escape, Li Li whispered to Li Zhi behind him: "Archery skills are very good, and then I can select a group of good archers in Jin Yiwei and train them to become marksmen, I have another great use." ”
"No!" Li Zhi is still old-tempered, respectfully accepting orders, and he is not humble, without a polite word, and cherishes words like gold.
Li Li had long been accustomed to Li Zhi's way of speaking, and immediately turned his head to look at Fan Chou's department who was fighting behind him. At this glance, he couldn't help frowning, his eyes were round with anger, and a strong murderous aura appeared between his eyebrows.
The situation in the rear of the Chinese army is extremely unfavorable to the Wuwei army, and there is a big melee there at the moment. Due to the retreat of Fan Yong's soldiers, Fan Chou led more than 30,000 Xiliang infantry cavalry to directly rush into the rear of the Wuwei army, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he broke through the huge shield array on the periphery of the rear of the Chinese army, and wantonly killed the catapults and crossbow soldiers in the rear formation, and the catapults and crossbows and other ordnance also suffered serious losses. Fan Yong, who missed the fighter, saw his uncle leading the troops to attack the rear of the Wuwei army, and he was in a hurry, and took his headquarters to support the rear formation, trying to stop the Xiliang army under Fan Chou's command. It's a pity that he is too affectionate, and he is bound in battle, and he always refuses to let go of the fight, but instead restrains the soldiers of the Wuwei Army from using crossbows to shoot the Xiliang Army on a large scale.
As a result, the rear army was originally fighting between the two armies, and the Wuwei army still had a clear advantage, but Fan Yong led the men and horses of his headquarters to mix in the middle, prompting the battle situation to become a three-way melee invisibly. Fan Chou's Xiliang Army and Wuwei Army were the enemy, while Fan Yong's troops and horses were the neutral side, disrupting the battle.
Fan Yong led his troops to stir up the situation, which may not have been his intention, and he did not betray Li Li's heart. However, what he did made the soldiers of the Wuwei Army fearful, and they had a lot of scruples and did not dare to fight with all their might. Not only that, Fan Yong was originally the main general of the right-wing army, while most of the soldiers in the rear of the Wuwei army were subordinate to the right wing. Seeing that Fan Yong seemed to have the potential to surrender to the enemy, the morale of the rear generals was greatly demoralized, but the Xiliang army was not, they took advantage of the situation to rush and fight, causing the Wuwei army to suffer huge casualties. In less than half an hour of the melee, more than 4,000 soldiers were killed and wounded in the rear of the Wuwei army, and countless ordnance was destroyed by the Xiliang army under Fan Chou's department, and tens of thousands of soldiers fought and entangled together, and the entire rear formation was in danger.
After the giant shield array of the Wuwei Chinese army was broken from the rear, the giant shield array in front of the formation was then broken by the Chinese infantry led by Li Daoqin.
Suddenly, the 40,000 Chinese troops behind Li Li were in an extremely bad situation, in front of which were more than 30,000 tiger battalion iron cavalry led by Li Daoqin and ready to wait, and there were 30,000 cavalry led by Fan Chou in the rear to fight and kill, and the enemy was attacked on the back. In the Xiliang army formation 500 steps away, although the Wuwei iron cavalry led by Xu Rong and the second general Bo Cai had achieved an overwhelming advantage, they did not completely defeat the tens of thousands of cavalry in the rear of the Xiliang army, and they were still in pursuit of victory, and they could not return to the Chinese army within half an hour.
Since then, the war situation of the Wuwei Army is worrying. More than 30,000 giant shield armorers on the periphery of the Chinese army and nearly 10,000 ordnance and baggage soldiers in the rear were besieged by tens of thousands of foot cavalry led by Li Dao and Fan Chou, and the battle was fierce, but the infantry of the Wuwei army was obviously at a disadvantage and had already shown defeat. The Chinese army under Li Li's command now has only 8,000 Jinqiwei cavalry and less than 30,000 left-wing cavalry under Zhang Liao's department, and the total is less than 40,000 horses, but they are facing more than 30,000 tiger cavalry led by Li Daoqin.
From a rough point of view, the infantry cavalry that Li Li was able to mobilize at this time happened to be the same as the number of Xiliang Iron Cavalry under Li Wei's department, and the strength was the same, but the combat effectiveness was different. Among the less than 40,000 soldiers and horses in Li Li's army, even if all the war horses in Zhang Liao's left wing army were gathered together, there were barely 10,000 of them, and the rest were all foot soldiers. And the iron cavalry of the tiger camp under Li Dao's department is indeed a veritable Xiliang Xiao cavalry, a hundred battles of elite cavalry, and the strength of the combat power is still above the wolf cavalry under the command of Lu Bu. If the two armies fight against each other at this time, the result is self-evident, and Wuwei Li Li's reputation as a victorious general may be ruined.
A decisive battle, starting from the dawn of dawn and continuing to the present, at least tens of thousands of soldiers have stained the battlefield with blood. The commanders of the two armies have been fighting wits and courage since the beginning of the war, and the Wuwei Army has always been stable against the Xiliang Army, and even the Wuwei Army once achieved a clear advantage, and victory was in sight. No one expected that just when the battle was about to be decided, such a dramatic scene would be staged. Fan Chou's defection was not a straw that overwhelmed the Xiliang Army, but a stumbling block to subvert the chariot of the Wuwei Army.
The final decisive battle was unfolded between the Chinese army led by Li Li and Li Wei's uncle and nephew, with nearly 40,000 Wuwei troops fighting against more than 36,000 Xiliang iron cavalry.
There is a saying in the art of war: the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the fighter plane is lost at the slightest moment.
The battle situation at this moment is the best interpretation.
Seemingly. At this time, the Wuwei army still occupied the advantage of troops, and 60,000 Wuwei iron cavalry swept the two wings of the Xiliang army and was sweeping the tail. At present, only more than 60,000 horses of the Chinese army led by Li Dao and more than 20,000 foot cavalry of Fan Chou's department are left, and more than half of the total strength has been lost. Of course, the remaining tens of thousands of horses were not all killed, but scattered and fled. Compared with the Xiliang Army, the Wuwei Army has not fled, and there have been hundreds of soldiers fleeing so far, which is not to say that no one has escaped from the Wuwei Army, but compared to the Xiliang Army, the military discipline of the Wuwei Army has been very good, and the morale is high. Therefore, the Wuwei army now occupies an absolute superiority in strength, the Wuwei iron cavalry still has nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses, and Li Li's Chinese army is full of 60,000 foot cavalry, with a total of 110,000 foot cavalry. Judging from the comparison of the number of troops, the Wuwei Army undoubtedly has obvious advantages.
However, this is not the case. Although the soldiers and horses on both wings of the Xiliang Army were defeated, the remnants of the soldiers and horses dragged down the Wuwei Iron Cavalry, forcing the most combat-effective cavalry of the Wuwei Army to be unable to get out for a short time. However, Li Dao personally led the Chinese army and Fan Chou to attack the Wuwei Zhongjun before and after, Fan Chou's department dug the foot of the wall in the rear of the Wuwei army, and Li Dao's Zhongjun was in front, giving the Wuwei army a tiger heart. As a result, the soldiers and horses on both wings of the Xiliang Army were completely destroyed, but the 80,000 cavalry of the Chinese army and Fan Chou took the opportunity to get out and take the Wuwei Chinese army directly.
