【Chapter 321】 The two armies of the remnant sun and blood capture the flag
There is no greater mourning than death.
Fan Yong left the battlefield with Fan Chou's body and went west.
"Alas!" Seeing Fan Yong leave, Jia Xu couldn't help but sigh and shook his head in disappointment.
"Why is the military advisor sighing?"
As Fan Yong left, the anger on Jin Gu's face gradually disappeared, and then he waved his hand to signal the crossbowmen to continue shooting arrows, and rode his horse back into the formation with Jia Xu, asking in a low voice.
After Jia Xulema stopped, he said in a deep voice with a stunned expression: "Fan Yong is originally a talented general, with strong martial arts, proficient in the art of war, strict management of the army, and clear rewards and punishments. He looks reckless on the outside, but in fact he is rough and fine, whether he is stationed in the rear or attacking the city, he is a rare good general. In addition, he is a harmonious person, has a very harmonious relationship with the generals in the army, and has won the trust of the lord. In addition, he is the righteous brother of the lord, and his status is different from that of ordinary generals, and he is like one person under ten thousand people in our army, and his status is transcendent.
If there is no today's matter, when this battle is over, he will be reused by the lord, and the feudal marquis will be in front of him, and he will definitely be able to hold heavy troops and shepherd one side. It's a pity that he doesn't know the importance of it, and mistakenly regards the trust and brotherhood of the lord as his own capital, and acts casually, ignoring the overall situation of our army, and putting the lord in danger, which is completely emotional. is so ignorant of the general situation, ignores the overall situation, and acts recklessly, even if he is the righteous brother of the lord, I am afraid that it will be difficult to hide the mouths of everyone, and the good future will be ruined. What's more, what he did this time embarrassed the lord; This is a taboo for those who are courtiers. In this way, after this battle, he is afraid that he will be idle, and he will not have the opportunity to take charge of the army alone in the short term.
It's a pity that such a fierce general was originally a manufacturable material, but because he couldn't put himself in the right position, he didn't know the duty of being a subordinate, and he missed such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. There will never be such a good opportunity again! ”
Jin Gu was stunned when he heard this, and immediately thought of the good opportunity that Jia Xu said, which should be the upcoming reorganization of the Xiliang Army.
Indeed, this reorganization of the whole army is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Wuwei generals. Almost all the generals of the Wuwei Army will be promoted, and the main generals in the army are very likely to jump into the dragon gate, worship the generals, and each general can at least command tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, and be in charge alone. After all, the lord Li Li will no longer let the Xiliang generals continue to serve as the commanders of the various departments, and will definitely promote a large number of Wuwei generals to take over the entire Xiliang army. It's a self-evident thing.
It's just that the premise of all this is that in this battle, the Wuwei Army must win.
Otherwise, everything is empty talk.
"Strategist. At present, the situation of our army is very unfavorable, how can you be sure that our army will win? Jin Ji asked suspiciously.
"The battle is unfavorable?" Jia Xu groaned. He shook his head indifferently and said, "The current situation between the two armies does seem to be very unfavorable to our army. Li Daoqin led the tiger camp to attack our army's commander's banner, and the lord was also besieged. But these are all illusions, with the wisdom of the lord, what a danger at this time!
In fact, after the defeat and capture of the two generals Guo Yan and Duan Xuan, our army had already won the victory. Among the many generals of the Western Liang Army. Except for Li Dao, Guo Yan and Duan Xuan are the two strongest, and winning these two people is equivalent to controlling half of the soldiers and horses of the Xiliang Army. Not to mention. Now Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew and Fan Chou are dead. In this way, the main generals of the Xiliang Army are only Li Dao left to support him, and there is nothing to be afraid of! ”
"Uh, I see." Jin Gu was stunned, and his heart was stunned.
If you think about it, this is exactly what happened.
At present, except for the soldiers and horses of the descendants under the command of Li Dao, the other departments of the Xiliang Army have no leader, and they have become a rout. Even at this moment, the two armies withdrew and ceased fighting, under the constraints of the Wuwei Army, Li Dao had no ability to absorb the Xiliang Army of all departments. This means that after this battle, the Xiliang Army can no longer pose a threat to the Wuwei Army, and it is an inevitable result to surrender to defeat and accept the reorganization.
As soon as he thought of this, Jin Gu surrendered his hand and said with high morale: "Military advisor, the lord is now under siege, and the last general will ask for an order, lead his troops to rush and kill, and swear to protect the flag of the Chinese army to the death!" ”
Jia Xu stroked the one-foot black beard on his chin casually, stared at the soldiers and horses of Fan Chou's department who were rushing for his life a hundred steps away, and said happily: "You go, just keep the handsome flag, you don't have to kill too much." ”
"No!" Jin Gu received the order respectfully, and then he jumped out of the battle and ordered sharply: "Guard the flag of the Chinese army, and all the soldiers will attack with me!" ”
————————————————————
"The archers retreated, and the giant shield soldiers stepped forward to defend the banner!"
Wuwei Zhongjun, just after the five rounds of arrows, Zhang Liao quickly changed his military formation to meet the fierce offensive of the Tiger Ben Iron Cavalry. Immediately, he jumped on his horse with a horizontal sword and the giant shield soldiers to resist the charge of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, where the shield array was broken by the enemy, he led his own soldiers to plug the gap for the first time, fought bloodily, and never let the Xiliang Iron Cavalry approach the Chinese army's generals.
"Kill!" Seeing that the war cavalry under his command broke through the shield array several times, but was killed and retreated by Zhang Liao's troops, Li Dao glared angrily and resentfully. Immediately, he slammed the reins, raised his sword, shouted angrily, and personally led his troops to kill, and the knife pointed directly at the direction where Zhang Liao was.
"Drive!" With a wave of his hand, he slashed down a Xiliang cavalryman who fell into the giant shield array, Zhang Liao snorted lightly, and led more than 400 personal soldiers to rush out of the shield array and face Li Dao head-on. His intention was obvious, to block the enemy in front of the formation, and he must not let Li Dao rush into the shield array. Otherwise, Li Dao was brave and fierce, and no one of the Wuwei generals who stayed behind in the Chinese army could stop his attack, and the Chinese army was in danger.
On the frontal battlefield, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is definitely far superior to that of the foot soldiers.
The biggest shortcoming is that the speed of the cavalry is too fast, and the impact is extremely strong, and the foot soldiers are difficult to resist. Therefore, although the Wuwei Chinese army had 20,000 infantry troops, it could not compete with more than 10,000 Xiliang iron cavalry, and the situation was precarious.
Because of this, Zhang Liao could only do the opposite and take the initiative to go out to meet Li Dao, so as to boost the morale of the whole army.
"Bell!"
The two knives met in the air, slashing violently, and the sound of slamming was loud.
In the splash of sparks, Zhang Liao and Li Dao clashed fiercely. Both of them used long-handled war knives, relying on the momentum of the war horses under their crotch to sprint, the knives were swift and powerful. In the clash of swords, both sides have no reservations and do their best, intending to kill or defeat each other in the shortest possible time.
Since Zhang Liao had deliberately entangled Li Dao for a long time, his sprint speed was obviously slower than Li Dao's, but his speed of returning to the horse and turning around was faster than Li Dao's. As a result, after the two sides fought, it was difficult for Li Dao to get rid of Zhang Liao's attack, so he could only rein in the horse to meet the battle, and he could not lead his soldiers to rush into the Chinese army and seize the Wuwei Shuai Banner.
In terms of the strength of martial arts alone, Zhang Liao's martial arts are not under Li Dao, but they cannot beat Li Dao, and the two sides are inseparable.
In a short period of time, it was difficult for the two sides to decide the winner, and the battle was fierce and stalemate.
In the fierce battle, the war knives flew, the war horses neighed, but time passed quickly in the sound of slamming.
————————————————
Just when the Wuwei Chinese army was resisting bloodily, the battle between Jin Yiwei and the Tiger Camp was also intensifying, and the fierce battle was in full swing.
In the desperate battle, the original 8,500 Jin Qiwei only had less than 5,000 war horses left at this time. What's even more serious is that now the Jinyi guards are besieged by 20,000 tiger and iron cavalry, and the cavalry's sprint space is getting smaller and smaller, and the combat effectiveness has also dropped sharply.
However, coach Li Li's combat effectiveness is still very strong and full of fighting spirit. Even if he is under siege, the Golden Lion Beast King is not afraid of many war horses, and he can still deter the war horses from retreating, and no war horse dares to approach within two zhang. With the power of such a divine beast, the war knife in Li Li's hand is like a life-seeking sickle, where the blade goes, the bloody wind and rain, no one can match it.
The coach is still like this, and the Jin Yiwei soldiers are greatly encouraged, although they are in an extremely unfavorable situation, they are still high morale and fight bloodily. In the meantime, careful people have already noticed that the commander Li Zhi has left the battle formation at some point and disappeared. However, the coach Li Li is here, and the commander is gone, which has not affected the fighting spirit of the soldiers.
Where did Li Zhi go?
"Whoa!"
"Hurry, hurry, stop the man riding the bull!" Under the banner of the commander of Xiliang, Wang Fang suddenly caught a glimpse of a small colonel riding a huge bull beast who did not attack Jin Yiwei, but went straight to the flag of the commander of the Chinese army, he was suddenly surprised, and an indescribable sense of crisis surged into his heart. So he shouted that his soldiers would intercept him quickly, and he would never let this person get close to Shuai Qi.
Seeing dozens of pro-soldiers rushing forward on horseback, Wang Fang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and raised his hand to brush away the cold sweat that covered his eyes. At this time, he had already recognized who the person was twenty steps away, and it was easy to identify the person who used iron chains as weapons in the entire Xiliang army, so far, there was only one person.
This person is Li Li's personal army commander, that is, Li Zhi, the commander of Jin Qiwei.
Wang Fang was too nervous just now, and he was dazzled. It's just that the armor of the cavalry of the Wuwei Army is very similar to the Tiger Camp, both of which are black armor, and he didn't expect that there would be enemy soldiers under the command of the Chinese military commander, so he mistakenly regarded Li Zhi as a junior colonel in the army, and he didn't recognize it immediately in a hurry. However, if you look closely, there is still a clear difference between the cavalry armor of the two armies, the armor of the Xiliang army's cavalry is gray-white, while the Wuwei army's armor is jet-black.
It's just that now the sun is setting, and the slanting sun is just facing the side of the Xiliang Army, so Wang Fang will be wrong.
"Bang bang bang!"
"Ah———h
At the moment when Wang Fang relaxed his mind slightly, he saw Li Zhi on the back of the dragon-scaled bull beast suddenly rise up, the chains in his hands flying in the air, and more than ten Xiliang cavalrymen who were surrounding him were whipped out of the chains in the blink of an eye. The cavalry who was hit by the chain either had their heads shattered immediately, or they became trapeze, and they flew off their horses with a miserable scream. But Li Zhi took advantage of the ownerless war horse and stepped on the horse's back and feet to approach Shuai Qi quickly. Such a scene is really as light as a swallow, and it is breathtaking.
With wide eyes and watching Li Zhi flying on his war horse, Wang Fang was shocked and stunned, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
"Hu Zheng, guard the handsome banner!" After being stunned for a moment, Wang Fang was a battle-hardened general after all, and he hurriedly ordered the flag bearer to take care of the battle flag, while beating his horse and waving his sword and rushing towards Li Zhi. —————— (To be continued)(To be continued......
