Chapter 123: Dongshankou, the Princes of Wenchang War (2)

The morning dawns and the sun rises.

The Wuwei army, which had rested for half a day and a night, had a full meal in the morning, and then lined up with the whole army, and nearly 40,000 troops rushed towards the Dongshan Pass.

In this battle of Dongshan Pass, the Wuwei army almost poured out, and almost all the generals under Li Li's command led troops to participate in the battle, except for a few people such as Li Xian, Li Zhi, and Li Zheng.

In addition to the 1,000 Jin Qiwei who stayed in the county capital and the county soldiers from each county, the six major cavalry battalions and infantry battalions were all gathered here, and the personal guards of the seven commanders and deputy commanders also went out with the army.

In this battle, Li Li dispatched more than 32,000 cavalry and 3,000 foot soldiers, for a total of more than 35,000 cavalry.

This was the first time that Li Li commanded tens of thousands of troops to fight since the end of the Han Dynasty, and it was also the decisive battle that determined whether he could take root in Liangzhou.

The danger and importance of this battle are no less than the battle of Black Dragon Ridge, and even surpass.

In the battle of Heilongling, the Wuwei army was calculated or unintentional, and there was a bit of luck in it. If it weren't for Huan Fei leading the Pegasus thieves to suddenly kill, Han Sui was caught off guard, so that more than 50,000 Han Sui coalition troops were defeated and fled. If there were no Pegasus thieves to participate in the battle halfway, the outcome would be a different scene, even if Li Li's troops would not be defeated, they would not have achieved a great victory in Black Dragon Ridge.

If it weren't for this crucial victory, what would the Wuwei Army look like now?

The victory of the past has passed, although Han Sui returned from a great defeat, but the foundation is not damaged, the soldiers and horses are still strong, and this time he dispatched 40,000 horsemen.

The previous 10,000 Ma Jiajun were all folded in the hands of Li Li, and Ma Chao was captured alive more than ten days ago.

After more than two months, he arrested his son and brought out Lao Tzu, this time Ma Teng used 20,000 elite cavalry and 10,000 foot soldiers of the Ma family's army, and he mobilized the crowd to come, and he did not hesitate to marry Han Sui as brothers with different surnames.

Ma Teng's intention was obvious, showing favor to Han Sui, setting aside Jiashi, trying to kill Li Li and Wuwei Jun in one fell swoop, and rescue Ma Chao.

This time, the alliance of the five princes attacked Wuwei County again, Han Sui tried to be ashamed, Ma Teng was eager to save his son, and the candidates, Liang Xing and Zhang Heng also came with a heart of revenge.

The allied army of 80,000 princes came with righteous indignation, the same purpose, and unprecedented unity, and the front of the army was directed at Li Li and his Wuwei army.

The princes of Liangzhou, each with a ghost, are easy to deal with, they can not only break each other, but also fight the princes all the way, forcing them to deviate from morality, and they will not be saved when they see death, and they will be defeated and flee.

However, once these princes are united and have the same goal, it is definitely a hard nut to go. If you are not careful, not only will you not be able to eat the flesh and bones, but you will also break your front teeth and cause a catastrophe.

Therefore, the battle of Dongshankou was extremely dangerous for Li Li and his Wuwei army, and the future was uncertain.

··················

On the wilderness ten miles west of the Dongshan Pass.

Li Li led the army to set up a battle formation, the six cavalry battalions were divided into the left and right wings and the middle army, the three thousand foot soldiers were all crossbowmen, in front of the two wings of the formation to set up bows and string, dozens of ballistas were hidden in the two wings of the battle array, ready to wait. In addition, after the Chinese army, there were hundreds of chariots and 500 charioteers for the army to charge.

Li Li was extremely unoptimistic about the chariot of the Han Dynasty, which not only cost a lot of money, but also had little actual power, and was in vain.

The chariot has a two-horse chariot and a four-horse chariot, the war horse is armored, and when charging into battle, the charioteer stabs the horse's buttocks, causing the war horse to charge wildly, dragging the iron cones of the wheel made of pure iron on the ruts on both sides, about one zhang long, and moving forward.

Li Li originally disdained to use the chariot array. When he heard that there were no chariots in the Han Ma army, he immediately took more than 100 chariots with him and hid them behind the army for the time being. Hoping that when the two armies rushed to kill, the chariot suddenly came out, which may have an unexpected effect.

The chariots and crossbows brought by Li Li this time were all proposed and prepared by Li Xuan. Therefore, Li Li ordered Li Xuan to command the chariot array and the crossbow soldiers, and as for how Li Xuan wanted to use these bulky weapons against the enemy's war cavalry, Li Li did not ask much.

Three hundred paces away, the combined forces of Han Sui and Ma Teng were already in formation.

Facing the rising sun, 80,000 allied infantry occupied a vast wilderness.

At a glance, the Han Ma army is directly connected with the mountain range ten miles away, with a majestic momentum, the soldiers are mighty, the banner hunting, and the soldiers are Gosensen.

Compared with the powerful Korean and Malaysian coalition army, Li Li's army is lonely and lacking in momentum, far less majestic than the Korean and Malaysian army.

It's just that the morale of the army behind Li Li is not weaker than that of the Han Ma army, and the morale is high and the fighting spirit is high. And the generals such as Huan Fei, Teng Yu, Tatar, Teng Xiao and Dian Wei were even more excited, their eyes were crazy and bloodthirsty, full of fighting spirit, and they were eager to try.

Before the battle, Li Li raised his head slightly and glanced at the dazzling sunlight shining in front of him, his eyes flashed, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After a while, Li Li saw that the Han Ma army had finished the formation, so he patted his mount, the Golden Lion Beast King, slowly came out of the formation, and rode alone to the front of the two armies.

"Where is General Han Sui, please answer before the battle?"

"Li Li'er, the old man is here, what do you have to say?"

As Li Li shouted, Han Sui still rode out of the crowd on the red horse from last time, glaring at Li Li and saying.

Li Li watched Han Sui stop in less than a hundred steps from the battle, and no longer marched forward, and suddenly laughed and said, "General Han is not harmed?" A month ago, the general hurried away, and Li did not have a grand reception, so he was uneasy. Unexpectedly, General Han was magnanimous, and he came to Wuwei County as a guest regardless of his previous suspicions. Li was very pleased, and hereby stepped forward to catch up with the general, with the gift of the younger generation. Hehehe! ”

Han Sui's old face turned red when he heard this, and he looked at Li Li who was smiling angrily, and shouted angrily: "If you don't worry about this concubine, the old man is in good health, how can he be sick?" After more than two months, Xiao'er is dying at this moment, and he is still so sharp-toothed, what a daring! ”

"Hehehe!"

Li Li didn't care about Han Sui's bad words, and still said with a smile: "General Han doesn't need to be angry, he is old, and he hurts his body with anger, so he should smile more." As the saying goes, smile for ten years, before Li was still lamenting that he didn't grow up quickly, after seeing General Han, I knew the reason. It turns out that I love to laugh too much, my youth is eternal, my face does not change, and I am always so young. Therefore, General Han should also smile more, he can't always open his mouth dirty, and reprimand others at every turn, such a person is definitely not a longevity! ”

Listening to Li Li's words, Han Sui's face turned blue and white for a while, and his face was extremely ugly.

Just when Li Li thought that Han Sui was about to be angry again, he didn't expect Han Sui to laugh instead.

However, Han Sui was sneering, his smile was very sinister, and his expression was very weird.

I saw Han Sui with a meaningful smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Li Li, the old man has been wandering in Liangzhou for decades, you are the first descendant to impress the old man, and you are also the first person who makes the old man unbearable to kill." Now that you are at the end of your rope, you have nothing to defend and you will not be able to escape defeat. If you are willing to surrender to the old man and worship the old man as your father-in-law, the old man can spare your life, and even let you continue to be a martial guard. What do you think? ”

Suddenly, a fierce murderous intent flashed in Li Li's eyes, and a strong violent aura burst out from his whole body.

However, the evil aura on Li Li's body flashed away, and then he still maintained a smiling expression, and said with a smile: "General Han thinks too highly of Li. Although Li is not talented, he does not need to be taken care of by General Han. If General Han has the heart to recognize Yizi, there are many people in the tens of thousands of troops behind you who are willing, why don't you ask them if they are willing? ”

In front of the two armies, Li Li and Han Sui talked eloquently as if they were a pair of old friends.

In the face of Han Sui's sarcasm, Li Li smiled, didn't care at all, talked eloquently, and talked about Han Sui from time to time.

Time passed quickly, and the rising sun was already hanging high in the sky, and the sun was two poles, and in half an hour, it was noon.

"Li Li'er, where is my son Meng Qi?"

Just as Li Li and Han Sui were meeting before the battle, they saw that a middle-aged burly man suddenly appeared behind Han Sui, and shouted angrily at Li Li with an angry face.

"Meng Qi? You mean Ma Chao, he's still alive, and he's alive and well. You are Ma Chao's father, Ma Teng? Li Li looked at Ma Teng who came with anger with a smile, and said slowly without hurry.

"Humph! Xiao'er is so arrogant, even if your uncle Li Wei sees the old man, he doesn't dare to call me by my name, Xiao'er is a kingless and fatherless disciple! ”

Ma Teng glared at Li Li angrily, his posture was very high, and there was a bit of arrogance between his eyebrows, and he opened his mouth to be abusive.

In an instant, Li Li was furious and scolded sharply: "Ma Teng Pifu, the young master misses you for being old, save you some face, and speak well." I don't think you, an old horseman, are shameless, relying on the old and selling the old, you really lived a handful of years in vain!

Previously, you led the army to the Kwantung Alliance, and Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others raised troops to fight against Dong Taishi, but the result was that stealing chickens did not lead to rice, and Dong Taishi moved the capital to Chang'an, which frightened the old man and hurriedly returned to Xiliang. Immediately, you, the husband, wagged his tail and begged for mercy from Master Dong, and bent his knees to join him, so that he could save his life and survive to this day. What kind of face can you teach me a lesson from a man like you, who is opportunistic and slippery, and who is at both ends of the snake and mouse?

What's more, your son Ma Chao is now a slave under Li, if you want to save your son's life, you will put away this old and old face for me. Otherwise, Li knows you Ma Teng, but the big knife in Li's hand doesn't know you! ”

"Li Li'er, you ······!"

Ma Teng was so angry that Li Li blushed and had a thick neck, stretched out his hand to point at Li Li and wanted to scold, but he had scruples. So his cheeks turned red, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his teeth rattled.

Li Li looked at Ma Teng with contempt, and said sharply: "What are you, a person who is dozens of years old, can't you even speak clearly?" In vain, you still claim to be a prince, feel good about yourself, and think that everyone in the world is afraid of you! Master will tell you today, I am not afraid of you, people just see that half of your body is about to go into the ground, pity you! You ask Han Sui, does he look up to you? In his Han Sui's eyes, you Ma Teng is a martial artist, relying on a bit of brute strength to show his teeth and claws, in fact, he doesn't look down on you at all! ”

"Son, how dare you sow discord in public? Brother Shoucheng should not believe Li Li's words, this son has ill intentions, and his clever tongue is like a spring, which is not enough to believe! ”

Han Sui saw that Ma Teng was so angry that he covered his chest and couldn't speak, so he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly pulled the reins in Ma Teng's hand to beat the horse back to the battle.

After returning to the military formation, Han Sui drew the sword at his waist, pointed at Li Li's army from afar, and shouted: "The whole army obeys the order, and the war cavalry goes out to fight!" (To be continued)
