——————————————

The sun is setting in the west.

The sunset is like blood, and ten thousand rays of light cross the sky.

The flowing clouds are like gold, gorgeous and splendid, and the evening breeze is slightly cool, which makes people reverie infinitely and fascinated.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the wilderness war is in full swing.

The two-yi three-phase array is an ancient battle array.

The two rituals, yin and yang. The three-phase one, heaven, earth and man.

The wilderness in the southern suburbs of Chang'an is a plain, and there is an unobstructed open land within a radius of dozens of miles. This terrain was a natural battlefield for cavalry to fight, and the infantry did not pose a threat at all in the face of cavalry.

In this battle, among the Xiliang army under Li Dao, there were 100,000 infantry troops and 60,000 cavalry, a total of 160,000 cavalry. Among the 100,000 infantry troops, there are about 30,000 giant shield soldiers, about 10,000 catapults, chariots and crossbow arrays, and the remaining more than 50,000 people are the real foot soldiers. The main force of the 60,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry is the 50,000 Tiger Battalion, and the remaining 10,000 Iron Cavalry are the troops of Li Dao, Guo Yan, Duan Xuan and other Xiliang generals.

Compared with the Xiliang Army, the Wuwei Army is not. Among the 140,000 Wuwei troops, more than half were war horses, and there were more than 70,000 cavalry. Among them, 60,000 Wuwei iron cavalry are the main force of the whole army, 8,000 Jinqi guard iron cavalry defend the Chinese army, and there are 3,000 war cavalry on the left and right wings, that is to say, Fan Yong and Zhang Liao still have 6,000 iron cavalry in their hands. In addition to the war horses, among the more than 60,000 foot soldiers, there are 30,000 crossbow formations, chariot formations, catapults and archers, nearly 20,000 giant shield soldiers, and only more than 10,000 ordinary foot soldiers.

In contrast, although the total number of soldiers and horses of the Xiliang army exceeded that of the Wuwei army. There were 20,000 more horses, but the two armies were close to each other, and the Western Liang army did not have an advantage.

There is a saying in the art of war: the time is not as good as the place.

Fighting on the plains, war riding is the king. In the face of the Iron Cavalry Charge, it is difficult for the foot soldiers to fight against it. A cavalryman's combat power is at least three foot soldiers, or four or five, or even more. Therefore, since ancient times, in the battle battle, the war horse is the key to determining the victory or defeat in the head-on battle.

In this decisive battle in the southern suburbs, the difference in strength between the two armies was very small, almost comparable. The main force of the Xiliang Army is the 50,000 Tiger Battalion. The main force of the Wuwei Army is 60,000 Wuwei Iron Cavalry, and the remaining 110,000 Xiliangbu Army fights against 80,000 Wuwei Army. If the cavalry of the two sides fights cavalry, and the infantry army fights the infantry army, and they fight head-on, the result is very likely to be the victory of the Xiliang army. Because the name of the Xiliang Tiger Camp is powerful all over the world, its combat power should not be underestimated. The 60,000 Wuwei Iron Cavalry is most likely not the opponent of the Tiger Ben Battalion. Once the Xiliang Iron Cavalry defeats the Wuwei Iron Cavalry, there will be no suspense about the outcome of this battle. The final winner will be the Xiliang Army. After all, the Xiliang Army has a deep heritage. After fighting on the battlefield for many years, whether it is cavalry or infantry, it is a battle-hardened and victorious division. In comparison, although the Wuwei Army is also an elite division, it is a new army, and its experience in fighting in battle formations is still slightly inferior to that of the Xiliang Army. After all, the foundation is too shallow and the foundation is insufficient.

However, one thing is for sure. That is, whoever wins this battle will be a pyro victory. Kill 100,000 enemies. If you lose more than half of yourself, it is inevitable that you will lose both. Such is the brutal iron law of war.

For such an outcome, the commanders of the two armies, Li Dao and Li Li, had expected it in advance. Because of this, Li Dao will be very sure that the Xiliang Army will win this battle, and he is full of confidence in the combat strength of the Xiliang Army under his command, and firmly believes that the Xiliang Army will definitely not lose to the Wuwei Army in the head-on decisive battle.

Compared with Li Wei's full confidence, Li Li, the commander of the Wuwei Army, made full preparations before the war, repeatedly deduced the strengths and weaknesses and pros and cons of the two armies, and finally formulated the tactics of the two-yi and three-phase array. Hard-fought strength, whether it is a war horse or a foot pawn, the Wuwei army is slightly inferior to the Xiliang army by half a chip, and it is likely to be defeated in the end. But the Wuwei army also has some advantages, that is, the number of war horses exceeds that of the Xiliang army. In addition, Wuwei Army has one of the most obvious but most easily overlooked advantages, which is the attribution of command.

Command, the absolute command of the commander of an army, unified command. On the surface, the commander of the Xiliang Army is Li Dao, but in fact it is not. There are quite a lot of generals in Xiliang, Guo Yan, Duan Xuan, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou and others each have their own subordinates, while Li Dao and Guo Yan have always joined forces, have the most soldiers and horses, and suppress other generals, so the two of them became the main generals of the Xiliang army. However, Duan Xuan, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou and others had no affiliation with Li Guo and the others, nor were they the generals trained and promoted by the two of them, but they were forced to submit to the two of them due to the situation. The relationship between them is delicate, similar to a cooperative relationship, but they are wary of each other, for fear of being murdered by others, merging the tribes. This kind of relationship of cooperation and defense is extremely fragile, and when it encounters a weak opponent, it is just a rush forward, and it is unstoppable; If they encounter a strong opponent and the battle situation is stalemate, there will be differences between them, and they will try their best to protect their soldiers and horses, and the results will be unimaginable.

Compared with the interest combination system of the Western Liang Army, the Wuwei Army is not. There is only one coach in the Wuwei Army from the bottom up, and this is Li Li. The whole army gave unified orders and unified dispatches, and all the thousands of generals in the whole army were under the command of Li Li. If you want to fight, you will fight, and if you want to retreat, you will retreat, even if you deprive a certain general of all his military rights, if you want to kill or chop, that is, in a word, no one dares to resist.

Because of this, in the all-out attack of the two armies, the speed of the Wuwei Army far exceeded that of the Xiliang Army. On the handsome platform, Jia Xu waved the command flag in his hand, and the whole army moved according to the order, attacking like an arrow from the string.

————————————————

"Boom, boom!"

Hundreds of thousands of war horses galloped and galloped, and the sound of horses' hooves was earth-shattering.

"Kill ———"

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the two armies rushed to kill each other, and the soldiers were awe-inspiring, and the sound of shouting and killing shook all directions.

"Roar!" In the roar of the fierce beast, Huan Fei, the deputy commander of the Flying Bear Battalion, rode the golden beast to the dust, holding a round shield in his left hand to block the oncoming arrows, and holding a two-zhang wolf tooth sledgehammer in his right hand to break through the sky, fiercely and fiercely rushing into the left wing of the Xiliang Army.

"Bang bang bang!" Everywhere the wolf's tooth hammer went, dozens of Xiliang foot soldiers suddenly bloomed like tidbits, their brains splashed, the snow and mist were filled, and the stumps and flesh were scattered in the air. The left wing military array that was originally lined up to meet each other was smashed out of a gap by Huan Feisheng, and the three zhang around the golden beast became a piece of red land, and the spear array could not stop Huan Fei, who was heavily armored and the divine beast under the seat, from rushing to kill. The wolf's tooth hammer relies on its great strength and lightning speed. Dozens of spears were shocked by the long hammer in Huan Fei's palm, either the waist was broken, or the spear flew into the air without hand, and then the wolf's tooth sledgehammer reverberated with a blow, and the infantry soldiers who had no power to fight back were instantly shattered, and the flesh and blood were scattered in the air with the stump and broken arm.

The power of Huan Fei, no one can stop it, everywhere the Golden Lion rides go, the blood is full of light, invincible.

Immediately behind Huan Fei was 30,000 Wuwei Iron Horsemen. The 15,000 Flying Bear heavy armored cavalry led by Dong Yue and Huan Fei charged forward. The three generals, including Yinyu, Tie Yu and Tie Xiao, each led 5,000 iron cavalry from their headquarters to follow closely behind, and more than 700 two-horse chariots were followed in the rear. This cavalry was led by Xu Rong as the main general, and he commanded all the troops in the center to charge the left wing of the Xiliang Army.

The right flank corresponding to Xu Rong's department was 30,000 iron cavalry led by Bo Cai. This cavalry did not have heavy cavalry, but it concentrated the most brave and powerful generals of the Wuwei Army, Dian Wei, Teng Yu, Tatar, Ma Chao, Pang De and Tie Tuo. Each led the headquarters of 5,000 iron cavalry to charge into battle, but the right wing of the Xiliang Army they faced was a 40,000 infantry army led by Fan Chou. The cavalry of the Bocai Division. There is no divine beast mount like Huan Fei. It is an unparalleled general who does not have a single horse, but the six war horses he led are indeed the most elite cavalry of the Wuwei Army, and the 30,000 war cavalry are all Wuwei cavalry, not mixed with Xiliang's troops. Therefore, this cavalry is a veritable Wuwei iron cavalry, and the whole army is composed of Wuwei local war cavalry such as the Hutu Battalion, the Pegasus Battalion and the Qinglong Battalion, and the combat power is extremely strong.

"Kill ———"

The iron hooves are raging and rushing. The shouting and killing sound was like a thunderous roar, booming and shaking the sky, rushing into the Xiliang army formation at a speed that was difficult to find with the naked eye. Suddenly, the two armies met in close arms. The killing begins instantly.

On the left flank, the Flying Bear heavy armored cavalry surged along the gap in the military formation that Huan Fei had broken. 15,000 heavily armored iron horsemen rushed into the 40,000 Xiliang infantry army, like a tiger rushing into the flock, rampant and irresistible, Zheng Zheng iron cavalry crushed like a flood beast. The Xiliang Left Wing Army was originally a 40,000 infantry cavalry led by Duan Xuan, but now Duan Xuan was defeated and surrendered to the Wuwei Army, and Li Meng temporarily took over the left wing infantry army.

This is a typical change of generals, which is a taboo for soldiers and not for the wise.

However, Duan Xuan was captured, the whole army was leaderless, and Li Meng had to take over the soldiers and horses on the left flank. Facing the ferocious Wuwei Iron Cavalry, looking at the Flying Bear Heavy Armored Cavalry charging ahead, Li Meng's heart was shocked and frightened. He never dreamed that one day he would lead the infantry army to fight against Dong Zhuo's personal guard battalion Flying Bear Soldiers, is this true, too child's play, right?

In the past, others may not know what the combat power of the flying bear soldiers around Dong Zhuo was, but he, Li Meng, knew very well. This heavy cavalry is an invincible war horse created by spending a lot of money, the war horse is the selection of the world's best horses, the cavalry is the strongest and most loyal tiger warrior who has been screened out from the whole army several times, and the battle armor and weapons are the most sophisticated weapons in the entire Xiliang army. And the commander of the Flying Bear Soldiers, Dong Yue, is known for daring to fight tough battles, both civil and military, the Dong family Shi'er, who has led the Flying Bear Soldiers for seven years, has never been defeated in the battle, although the number of Flying Bear Soldiers under his command is not much, only less than 20,000 horses, but it is the invincible war horse ranked first in the entire Xiliang Army, with outstanding achievements and great power.

For a long time, Dong Zhuo has assigned almost all the soldiers and horses in his hands to the command of the generals in the army, only the Flying Bear Soldiers have always been in his own hands, and he will never leave the left and right sooner or later, and Dong Yue, the commander of the Flying Bear Soldiers, is his nephew. Dong Zhuo has no children under his knees, Dong Yue, Dong Min and Dong Huang are his nephews, which are equivalent to fake sons, and they are Dong Zhuo's most trusted generals and relatives. The weight of these three nephews in Dong Zhuo's mind is even higher than that of Li Ru and Li Li's two sons-in-law. Therefore, don't look at Dong Zhuo's favor to Lu Bu before his death, but he has never handed over the Flying Bear Soldier to Lu Bu to take over, and handed over the Flying Bear Soldier to Dong Yue to take charge until now. It can be seen that Dong Zhuo's trust in Dong Yue is important, and Dong Yue's ability to govern the army and his own strength are by no means ordinary, and he must have something extraordinary.

Seeing Dong Yue leading the Flying Bear Heavy Armored Cavalry to rush into the left flank army formation, even though Li Meng had the heart to lead the troops to resist, he was powerless. The infantry army was at a disadvantage against the cavalry, and it was difficult to resist the powerful impact and lethality of the cavalry. Even if it is an ordinary light cavalry, the infantry army can't resist, let alone the famous Flying Bear heavy armored cavalry.

In the face of the swept heavy armored iron cavalry, Li Meng fought and retreated, and then rode his horse to the rear, trying to organize the chariot array and the giant shield array to resist the charge of the heavy armored iron cavalry. He thought in his heart that as long as he could block the speed of the charge of the heavy armored iron cavalry and reduce their impact, then the tens of thousands of infantry troops under his command might still have a chance to win, at least not be defeated.

I have to say that Li Meng is also an excellent general, very thoughtful, tenacious by nature, and very good adaptability. But he made a mistake in his busy work and ignored a fatal point, that is, the left-wing soldiers and horses were not his own troops, but Duan Xuan's troops.

Where is Duan Xuan now?

Duan Xuan has already surrendered to the Wuwei Army. Moreover, he did not surrender secretly, but surrendered to Li Li in front of the two armies and in front of tens of thousands of soldiers.

Duan Xuan surrendered to Li Li and joined the Wuwei Army, as his troops, where should nearly 30,000 Huayin soldiers go. The main generals have all descended, and tens of thousands of war horses are coming, and the results are self-evident. In addition, Li Meng, the temporary commander of the left wing, retreated from the battle, although Li Meng's original intention was to go to the rear army to stabilize his position, but the left wing soldiers did not know what he was going to do, and everyone subconsciously thought that he was timid and fled from the battle. The main general Duan Xuan surrendered, and the temporary general Li Meng ran away again, how can this battle be fought, and what else will be fought?

Strategically shift, it's too late!

So, in less than a quarter of an hour when Xu Rong led his troops to rush into the left flank of Xiliang, more than 10,000 foot soldiers of the front army of the left flank resisted a little, and then scattered and fled. The impact of this group of foot soldiers fleeing in battle is enormous, unimaginably large. It doesn't matter if they scatter and flee, the fatal thing is that they will expose the entire left-wing army formation under the Wuwei Iron Cavalry, as if giving the Wuwei Army a smooth road to the sky, and the road ahead is unobstructed, so that the Wuwei Iron Cavalry can directly take the left-wing middle army, which is quite a trend of smashing the Yellow Dragon. In addition, when the front army was dispersed, the remaining more than 10,000 soldiers under the command of Duan Xuan also had no intention of resisting, and took advantage of the fact that the Wuwei Iron Cavalry had not yet arrived, dropped the battle flag and weapons, and fled to the western hills.

Suddenly, the two groups of soldiers in front and behind fled without a fight, sweeping away nearly 30,000 soldiers. As a result, there were only more than 10,000 foot soldiers left in the entire left flank army formation, which was almost crumbling, and it was completely powerless to resist the increasingly high morale of the Wuwei Iron Cavalry. The rout of the left flank of the Xiliang Army is a foregone conclusion, and it is only a matter of time. —————— (To be continued)(To be continued......
