【Chapter 324】 A bright moon
"Ding Ding Ding ———"
"Is it over?"
Li Li, who was under siege, was shocked when he heard the sound of gold, and he carried the Jinqi war knife upside down, drove the Jinqi Beast King's mount to turn around, and turned around to look at the commander of the Wuwei Zhongjun. But seeing that the handsome flag was still flying high on the stage, he suddenly exhaled deeply and sighed lightly with relief.
Standing in a daze, the blade of the Jin Yi iron-backed war knife in Li Li's hand was still ticking with blood, and the entire war knife was soaked in blood, faintly revealing a strange sword.
Not only Li Li was like this, but all the surrounding Jin Qi guards were like this, the weapons in their hands were all soaked in blood, the battle armor was soaked in blood, and thousands of soldiers were shining with demonic blood light around them.
Jin Yiwei is like this, and so is the Tiger Camp Iron Cavalry.
In a bloody battle, the 8,500 Jinqi guards now only had more than 4,000 horsemen left, and in less than three moments, more than half of the soldiers and horses were lost. It shows that the battle is fierce and the fighting is fierce, which can be described as fighting to the death and never stopping.
Compared with Jin Yiwei, the Iron Cavalry of the Xiliang Tiger Camp also suffered heavy casualties. The 20,000 Xiliang cavalry who surrounded Jin Yiwei fought until the time of Mingjin, and only more than 12,000 cavalry still had the strength to fight, and the remaining seven or eight thousand people were either killed or injured.
The battle reached this point, and the soldiers on both sides were killed. If it weren't for the continuous sound of gold, which prompted the officers and men of the two armies to gradually wake up and turn around, they were afraid that the fighting would continue, and they would not have put down their troops and ceased the battle because of a few golden sounds.
The bloody battle between Jin Yiwei and the Tiger Ben camp is only a corner of the huge battlefield, and the two armies of more than 200,000 people are fighting each other, which can be described as swords and swords everywhere, and blood stains the sky.
Under the soldiers, life seems so fragile, blood stains the earth red, and blood fills the night sky.
War is a baptism of blood and fire. The return of life and death, the hymn of flesh and blood.
"Da Da Da!"
When the soldiers of the two armies were immersed in the blood and lost their minds, Li Li drove the Golden Lion Beast King slowly, and the sound of the four hooves stepping lightly was particularly crisp and loud at this moment.
The Golden Lion Beast King passed through the dense Xiliang War Cavalry, Li Li rode his horse to the high platform of the Xiliang Central Army, walked in front of Wang Fang, slowly returned to his horse and turned around, held the Jin Qi War Knife high, and shouted loudly: "The soldiers of the two armies listen to the order and line up to collect the troops!" ”
"Roaring ———"
The Golden Lion Beastmaster is extremely spiritual. Just as Li Li's voice fell, its front hooves stood up and raised its head and roared.
Suddenly, the huge beast roar resounded in all directions, shaking the four wilderness. It roars in the night sky, and the echo is long.
"Roar! Roar! Roar! ”
"Bang bang bang! The lord is mighty———"
After a brief moment of stunnedness. Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Wuwei Army raised their weapons and roared loudly. The weapon was raised and lowered, and the earth trembled, and the rumbling sound soared into the sky.
"No, No, No, No———"
And the soldiers of the Xiliang Army, who were stunned, after a short period of ignorance and confusion, were driven by the beginning of their respective leading generals, and the sound of the promise roared. One after another, it finally converged into a neat sentence: "Obey the orders of the Lord!" ”
——————————————————
An hour later, the surviving soldiers of the two armies gathered in the wilderness in front of the general of Wuwei. Re-array.
To the east is the Wuwei Army, and to the west is the Xiliang Army.
On each side of the two sides lined up in three phalanxes, the generals of the two armies fought in the front, the cavalry in the center, the infantry on the left, and the baggage soldiers, catapults and crossbow formations on the right.
The two armies formed six phalanxes, nearly 200,000 troops gathered under the general's platform, and tens of thousands of torches illuminated the wilderness in a radius of more than ten miles as if it were day, which could compete with the bright moon.
Nearly 200,000 people, yes, there are less than 200,000 soldiers and horses standing under the general's platform today.
This is the sum of the number of soldiers and horses of the Xiliang Army and the Wuwei Army combined.
Under a fierce battle, there were only more than 50,000 people left under the command of Li Dao of the Xiliang Central Army, and there were more than 30,000 defeated troops on both wings, totaling less than 90,000 soldiers and horses. Originally, the Xiliang army had 170,000 troops, except for 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers who fled and escaped, and now there are only 90,000 foot cavalry left. In other words, the Xiliang army suffered at least 50,000 casualties in this battle.
Compared with the Xiliang Army, the number of casualties among the officers and soldiers of the Wuwei Army was almost the same as that of the Xiliang Army, and they did not gain any benefits in the war. Because of the fierce battle so far, there has never been a large-scale rout of the Wuwei army. And it is precisely because the whole army of Wuwei did not retreat and fought bloodily that the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the infantry army suffered the most casualties.
The Wuwei Chinese army originally had 80,000 people, plus more than 7,000 heavy soldiers under the Jingu Division, about 90,000 people, and under the First World War, all the Chinese troops together were less than 40,000 people. The Chinese army alone suffered 50,000 casualties, which was the same as the total number of casualties of the Xiliang army.
Fortunately, the casualties of the Wuwei Iron Cavalry were not large, there were 60,000 cavalry at the beginning of the war, and now that the war is over, there are nearly 50,000 people in the Wuwei Iron Cavalry, almost undamaged, and the strength still exists.
In terms of the number of soldiers and horses available in the two armies, the two armies are still evenly matched, and their strength is comparable. But this is just the appearance, in fact, now the Xiliang Army has really been disabled by the Wuwei Army. In particular, the Xiliang generals suffered heavy casualties, and the original five powerful generals: Li Dao, Guo Yan, Duan Xuan, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, now only Li Dao is left, and the other four are either dead or injured. The second-line generals did not suffer many casualties, Li Meng, Wang Fang, Guo Meng and others were still there, even if they were injured, they were fine.
In contrast, there were not many casualties among the Wuwei generals, and the deaths of ordinary generals are unknown for the time being, but none of the main generals were killed. During this time, Yang Ding may have been the only major general who was severely injured in this battle, but he was transferred before the start of the battle, and his life was safe.
Nine-foot will be on the stage.
At this time, two battle flags were planted, and the marshal flags of the Wuwei Army and the Xiliang Army were erected side by side, fluttering high in the evening breeze.
It's just that this is the high platform of the Chinese army of the Wuwei Army, and the flag of the Xiliang Army is planted here, what it means, it is self-evident. Even ordinary soldiers who are illiterate can know at a glance that the Xiliang army has been defeated.
Under the battle flag, only three people stood on the high platform at this time, looking down on the 180,000 Xiliang soldiers; They are: Li Li, Li Dao and Jia Xu.
"General Li Dao, in addition to the wounded soldiers, the officers and men of the two armies have gathered." On the stage, seeing that the lord Li Li was bowing his head and talking to Li Zhi, Jia Xu walked lightly behind Li Zhi and reminded in a low voice.
Li Wei bowed slightly when he heard this. The expression on his face was extremely bitter, his cheeks were flushed, and his eyes were very gloomy, which seemed a little difficult to speak. Of course, he knew the meaning of Jia Xu's words, which was nothing more than to remind him that Li Dao announced the defeat of the Xiliang Army in public, and the Xiliang Army was merged into the Wuwei Army from then on, and the whole army was taken over by Li Li.
This sentence is very simple to say, and as soon as the upper and lower mouths are closed, the sound comes out. But this sentence is very significant.
As long as Li Dao said this sentence in public, the commander of the Xiliang Army would change hands. The two armies became one. Among them, there are also more than 30,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and there will be only one commander in the whole army in the future, that is, Wuwei Li Li.
In the battle between uncle and nephew, the winner wins a lot of money, and the loser loses a lot. Lost in blood.
This is the outcome of this war that seems to be a battle of wills.
"The soldiers of the Xiliang army listened to the order, and we were defeated in this battle. But my Xiliang soldiers are all good men with iron bones! The husband is true to his word. According to the agreement between the two armies before the war, the Xiliang Army will be merged into the Wuwei Army from tonight, and all the officers and men of the army below Li Wei will obey the dispatch of General Li Li. Those who dare to disobey the order will be killed! After saying these words calmly, Li Dao's whole body seemed to be drained in an instant. With a gloomy expression, he retreated behind Li Li, and then quietly walked off the stage with light steps.
The moment Li Wei stepped off the stage, Li Li happened to finish talking to Li Zhi, and then he stood up straight. strode to the center of the platform, and looked down at the more than 100,000 Xiliang soldiers under the stage with blazing eyes.
"From today onwards, the Wuwei Army and the Xiliang Army have been merged into one army, and they are still the Xiliang Army!"
"The Lord is mighty! Mighty! Mighty ———" Before Li Li's words fell, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army under the high platform shouted in unison, and the sound shook all directions.
Obviously, Li Li's move won the great recognition of the Xiliang Army in the audience and won the hearts of the people. It's just that many soldiers may have ignored an objective fact, that is, the Wuwei Army under Li Li was originally part of the Xiliang Army. On the boundary of Xiliang Land, what kind of army can it be besides the Xiliang Army? Even the previous Wuwei Army, in the eyes of the Kwantung princes, was still the Western Liang Army, and there was no difference at all from the Western Liang Army under Dong Zhuo.
In the shouting of more than 100,000 soldiers, Li Li raised his hand slightly, and the audience suddenly fell silent.
"In today's battle, no matter who is right and wrong, so far the two armies have released their previous suspicions, and they are not to blame for the past, and the grievances have been written off. No one is allowed to provoke trouble under any pretext, let alone talk about revenge. When there is still a dispute between brothers, when they are angry, they will fight and fight. The battle between our Xiliang army is like this, they are all our own brothers, and after the battle, we are still brothers, and we still eat meat and drink in big bowls. Because there is no overnight feud between brothers! ”
"Your lord said it well! Long live the lord! This time, it was the generals of the Wuwei Army who took the lead in applauding, and then the soldiers of the Xiliang Army echoed one after another.
Li Li stood on the high platform and smiled indifferently, and then continued with a solemn expression: "This battle is a war launched to fight for peace in Xiliang and for the people to live and work in peace and contentment!" After the war, the brothers of the original Xiliang Army first went to the outside of Yiwu City to have a full meal, then rested for three days, and the whole army was reorganized on the fourth day! Now this general ordered, the generals of the whole army counted the existing number from top to bottom, each army commander, even commander, team leader, centurion and tun commander, remember the names of the soldiers under your command, and then your 180,000 soldiers are the main army of our Xiliang army. Other soldiers who have escaped will be responsible for the daily garrison and military reclamation of each city as the county soldiers and tuntian soldiers, and only those who perform well can enter the main army. In addition, at the time of the reorganization, the position of the general above the military marquis will remain unchanged, but he must obey the general's order. ”
"No!" As Li Li's words fell, the 180,000 soldiers in the audience agreed in unison.
The volume of this sound is so loud that it can be described as a shock, and it penetrates the sky.
After the sound of the promise dissipated, Li Lilang ordered: "Now, I order, collect the troops and return to the city!" ”
"Boom ———"
With Li Li's order, the 180,000 soldiers in the wilderness responded to the call, and the rear team changed to the front team and slowly withdrew from the southern suburbs of the wilderness.
Seeing the soldiers slowly leaving, Li Li turned to Jia Xu and instructed: "Wenhe, it is already summer now, we must collect the remains of the corpse as soon as possible, burn the remnants of the body and broken arms, and dig a deep pit for burial, and it is best to pull the corpse to a valley where people are inaccessible and buryed." Afterwards, a monument was erected at Taniguchi to pay tribute to the deceased's family. ”
"No! Within three days, the subordinates will definitely handle this matter, please rest assured. Jia Xu replied respectfully.
Li Li bowed his head slightly and said, "It's hard work." After the war, Li Xuan and Li Ru were responsible for the family pensions of the casualties and the entry of the army into the city. Monk Wen still needs to think about the reorganization of the whole army, as well as the emotions of the generals of the Xiliang Army, at this critical juncture, there must be no change in the army. When necessary, you can take thunderous measures, don't worry too much, you just let it go, if something happens, I Li Li will take it for you! ”
Jia Xu's expression moved slightly when he heard this, his eyes showed gratitude, and he bowed down and said, "Thank you for the trust of the lord, my subordinates will live up to the trust of the lord!" ”
Li Li bowed his head with a smile on his face, then reached out to help Jia Xu up, and said in a low voice: "My uncle just left with more than a dozen personal soldiers, and he still can't let go of his heart when he wants to arms. In the past few days, Wen He still needs to pay attention, don't let people disturb my uncle's peace, after the whole army is reorganized, I will go to take the blame. ”
Hearing this, Jia Xu nodded lightly and asked, "I don't know when our army will enter the city, and who will lead the troops to take over the city?" Please also make the Lord public. ”
"Huh?" Li Li groaned, and after thinking for a while, he said softly: "Temporarily appoint Zhang Liao as the general of Chang'an City, and lead 10,000 troops to defend the city; Dian Wei led 5,000 cavalry to enter the palace, and Xu Rong, Teng Yu and Tatar led 30,000 Wuwei iron cavalry to take over the Xiliang army with Li Xuan. What is the meaning of the text? ”
"The lord is thoughtful, and his subordinates receive orders." After Jia Xu agreed, he left quickly.
The evening breeze is light, the moonlight is cold, and the rich smell of blood is accompanied by the fragrance of herbs, giving people an indescribable olfactory impact.
After Jia Xu left, Li Li stood alone on the platform, looking up at the bright moon hanging in the sky, stunned, and motionless.
Distant night sky, starry.
The flow of time, as in front of you.
It seems to be flying and extinguishing, and the words are thousands of years old;
Sigh the slanting sun is like blood, the only round bright moon.
—————— end of the bloody episode of the remnant sun.
Maybe many book lovers will think that Zhonglang deliberately dragged out the plot, and wrote more than 30 chapters (chapters 291-324) in a war, which was stinky and long, and was suspected of making up the number of words. But Zhonglang wants to say that among the historical texts, the war is the most eye-catching, but there are not many works that can really present a complete picture of the war vividly. Most of them are point-to-point, understatement, and much foreshadowing, but the real war scenes are extremely thin, strong on the outside and dry in the middle.
In the bloody section of the remnant sun, Zhonglang worked hard and did his best to live up to the expectations of his book friends. As for whether you are satisfied, Zhonglang doesn't know, but Zhonglang has a clear conscience and is worthy of the subscription fee of five yuan a day. —————— (To be continued)(To be continued......
