The right flank of the Western Liang Army.

In this decisive battle, Bo Cai served as the main general for the first time, in the past, he was stationed in the rear or defending the city, and most of the soldiers and horses under his tent were infantry troops, only a small number of war horses. But this battle was different, he was the main general of 30,000 Wuwei iron cavalry, and was ordered to lead the army to rush to kill the right wing of the Xiliang army.

This is a rare opportunity for Bocai to show his commanding ability since he joined Li Li's command. This time, the six generals under his account all have the courage of ten thousand people, and the war horses led by him are the most elite war horses of the Wuwei Army, if this God-given opportunity is missed, then he has bent down to serve Zhu Jun all these years, and the pain of enduring humiliation and heavy burdens will be in vain. Therefore, he had already planned well, and the six cavalry were divided into two teams, Teng Yu, Dian Wei and Ma Chao three 15,000 war cavalry for the front, Tatar, Pang De and Tietuo three for the rear, 30,000 cavalry formed an echelon of front and back, riding horses and rushing to the right wing of the Xiliang army. And he himself led 750 chariots to press the rear of the palace, once the iron cavalry broke through the right flank army formation, he will personally lead the chariot array to attack the Xiliang army from the side, pry open the turtle shell composed of the giant shield formation of Li Weizhong's army, and defeat the Xiliang army in one fell swoop.

At the beginning of the war, Dian Wei, Teng Yu and Ma Chao took the lead, the weapons in their hands flew into the air, swinging away the dense arrows and crossbow arrows flying in front of them, galloping wildly, rushing to the Xiangyou wing army formation, and connecting with each other.

"Excuse me!"

Teng Yu, who was in a rapid sprint, took the lead in rushing to the front of Xiliang's right flank army. With a high-pitched neighing of the war horse, but when he saw the Huoyun Divine Horse under Teng Yu's crotch approaching the giant shield array in front of the formation, he suddenly stood up, and the two horse hooves suddenly retracted when they took off, and when the horse fell, a pair of front hooves flew violently, and stomped heavily on the round shield carried by the Xiliang giant shield soldiers. Suddenly, I saw four giant shield soldiers on their shoulders flying backwards like lightning strikes, and the incomparable impact of the horses' hooves forced them to fly in a straight line. He opened his mouth and spat out blood, knocking down a large area of shield soldiers. In an instant, the originally dense and seamless giant shield array suddenly collapsed, and the formation was chaotic.

"Bang! Kill ———"

Teng Yu, who immediately rose from the halberd, shouted violently when the four hooves of the Huoyun Divine Horse landed, and immediately grabbed the gap between the two halberds with both hands and stepped out along the horse's hooves, and rushed into the formation fiercely. But seeing him fly in the air with a halberd, each halberd shattered at least three giant shields, and the armorer who was shattered not only did not save his own life. He also retreated and knocked down several of his own giant shield soldiers, making the gap in the giant shield array wider and wider. Teng Yu, who rode his horse to kill, not only had to attack the giant shield, but also leaned over to pick up the hook and sickle spear that poked out from the middle of the giant shield or from the ground, and put his hands up and down, opening a passage for the war horse behind him.

The giant shield is accompanied by a hooked scythe. This is the usual killing technique used by the giant shield soldiers against cavalry. Use the giant shield to squeeze the horse's sprint space, as long as the galloping cavalry slows down. Then use the hook and sickle to stick out of the gap in the giant shield. Waiting for an opportunity to cut off the horse's legs, he hooked the cavalry and dragged it into the giant shield, and rushed up to kill the cavalry. This kind of method of cooperating with each other to kill the enemy may seem cumbersome, but in fact it is simple and fast, and it is extremely easy to achieve. It is the only way for foot soldiers to deal with cavalry.

When Teng Yu rushed into the enemy formation, Dian Wei and Ma Chao were equally good. The two of them are bold and bold, and they directly soared into the air, and the god horse under the crotch is abnormal. The horse's hooves trampled heavily on the giant shield. Immediately, the two of them rode their horses and galloped on the giant shield as they leaned down to kill the outcropping shield soldiers. When the four hooves of the mounts under the crotch landed, the giant shield array blocking them was already in chaos, and then the Wuwei Iron Cavalry that followed closely behind broke through the formation, and thousands of giant shield soldiers were instantly submerged in the torrent of iron hooves.

—————————————————

The Xiliang general sitting on the right flank is the veteran Fan Chou. He was 50 years old at the time, and he had been fighting on the battlefield for more than 20 years. His martial arts are good, but they are only good, he has the strength of a first-class warrior and a mid-level, and he has a lot of strength. The art of war is very ordinary, but he is very old, experienced in battle, cautious, meticulous, introverted, and taciturn. Therefore, he is not famous in the Western Liang Army, not as famous as Li Dao, Guo Yan and Duan Xuan and others, but he is indeed an authentic general, and his family background can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty, and he is a descendant of Fan Xu, the founding father of the Western Han Dynasty. It's a pity that the years have changed, the vicissitudes of the world, and the Fan family has long since declined in the Eastern Han Dynasty and has been reduced to a common people's home, which is no different from recklessness.

However, Fan Chou never forgot that he was a descendant of the founding fathers of the Han Dynasty. Although the Fan family has fallen and disappeared in the torrent of time, he has always remembered the honor of the family, and there is a pride that has been inherited for hundreds of years in his bones. Therefore, he pretended to think that the snake was friendly with Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, and pretended to be a good old man's face and succumbed to Dong Zhuo's command, but he has always been a faction in the Xiliang army, and he has always maintained a faint distance from the Xiliang generals, neither making enemies with the generals in the army, nor groveling to flatter and flatter. Because of this, his position in the army is neither high nor low, and the soldiers and horses in his hands have always remained at about 20,000, and he can be regarded as a member of the real power faction.

Now Fan Chou is a veteran of the Mandate of Heaven. Fan's family is thin, and Fan Chou's eldest brother was also a fierce general in his early years, but he was unfortunately killed in the turmoil of the Xiliangqiang people seven years ago, leaving orphans and widows entrusted to Fan Chou's care. And Fan Chou himself originally had a son, but people have good and bad luck, and his only son died of illness at the age of twelve. Now he has only one daughter under his knees, and he is now fifteen years old, and he will be married in two years. is over fifty years old, he is already in his twilight years, his days are numbered, his daughter will get married sooner or later, fortunately he also has a nephew who is both civil and military, that is Fan Yong.

Three days ago, the eldest sister-in-law made the decision and privately passed Fan Yong to Fan Chou as a son, that is, a fake son, and Fan Yong will be the successor of the Fan family in the future. At that time, Fan Chou was very happy, it can be said that he was full of tears, and he cried with joy. After the ceremony was completed, Fan Yong immediately put forward a condition, asking Fan Chou to defect at the decisive battle between the two armies and lead the army to serve the Wuwei army. At that time, Fan Chou was on the rise and agreed without hesitation, after all, he also knew that his nephew and Wuwei County coach Li Li were sworn brothers, and Li Li was the first to look forward to everywhere. Therefore, the uncle and nephew, or the father and son, immediately discussed and agreed on the matter.

Old man, Fan Chou was really happy for two days. Because this fake son was not an outsider in the first place, he was his own nephew, and he had been treating Fan Yong very well before, treating him as his own. Now that his nephew has become a son, he is even more close to each other, how can he not be happy. However, when the joy passed, Fan Chou faintly felt that something was wrong, he had no doubts about Fan Yong's filial piety, but he felt that Fan Yong's worship of him as his father seemed to be instructed by Li Li, but in fact he had other plans.

The two armies defected at the time of the decisive battle, which was definitely a fatal blow to the morale of the entire Xiliang army, and the impact was huge, and it was very likely to cause the Xiliang army to fall short and be completely defeated by the Wuwei army. In addition, such a thing as defection is not good to say, but it is actually a big shame thing.

Fan Chou didn't understand why Fan Yong wanted to let himself turn against him before, but now after hearing Li Li and Li Dao's answers before the battle, he completely understood. It turned out that today's battle was not a battle of will between Li Li and Li Dao's uncle and nephew, nor was it a petty fight or bluff, but a real decisive battle between the two armies, which will determine the ownership of the Xiliang army and the authority of the world.

After figuring out the true intention of this battle, Fan Chou's mind was confused and he hesitated. If he really rebelled according to the previous agreement with Fan Yong, would it mean that the Xiliang army was defeated. Once the Xiliang army is defeated, it will be equivalent to handing over the entire Xiliang army and the Chang'an court to Li Li, and the power of the world will be concentrated in Li Li. If this is the case, Wuwei Li Li's power can be said to have ascended to the sky in one step, holding 300,000 troops in Xiliang and holding the authority of the world.

What exactly does Li Li want to do? Does he want to emulate Dong Zhuoquan's favor of the government and the opposition, or is he plotting against him, intending to replace the Han family?

Regarding Li Wei's temperament and personality, Fan Chou has a very good understanding of it through close contact over the years. He knew that Li Dao was very eager to replace Dong Zhuo's position before his death, worship the marquis, be a supreme minister, and glorify the lintel of the Li family. There are not a few people who have this kind of thought, not only Li Dao, but most of the generals in the Xiliang Army have this idea. For the sake of generals, who does not have such ideals, otherwise why fight on the battlefield and use their lives to gain fame and fortune. However, there is one thing that Fan Chou is very sure of, that is, Li Dao does not dare to covet the Han family, not because he doesn't want to, but because he doesn't have the ability to honor the Ninth Five-Year Plan. If the Western Liang Army and the Han Dynasty were in charge of Li Dao, then although the Eastern Han Dynasty existed in name only, at least the lives of the Son of Heaven and the Empress Dowager were safe, and the Han Dynasty could still continue to survive. However, if the power of the world falls into the hands of Wuwei Li Li, then the consequences will be unimaginable.

Li Li is not Li Dao. Although the two of them are uncles and nephews, their talents and means are far from each other and cannot be compared.

For Wuwei Li Li, Fan Chou has been observing for a long time and has his own understanding and opinions. Li Liqi is a person with a modest appearance, often smiling, pleasant, and approachable, but these are just appearances. In fact, Li Li is a typical hot on the outside and cold on the inside, clever and strategic, tough and cunning, decisive and ruthless, if you don't make a move, it will be a fatal blow, completely knock down the opponent, so that it will never turn over. In the past, he treated Lu Bu like this, and he didn't save Dong Zhuo when he saw death, and he hit a lot of Liangzhou princes even harder, and he was stunned to beat Han Sui, Ma Teng and others to lose their troops and collapse. Today, Li Li led the troops to fight against his own uncle Li Dao, on the surface, it seems that he has been showing weakness, but at this moment, the offensive of the Wuwei Army in the all-out battle between the two armies is fierce and ruthless, how can there be a little uncle and nephew affection, without sparing his hand, as if he is fighting with all his strength, never dying. Such a tenacious and resolute person is not comparable to Dong Zhuo, Li Dao and others, as if he is a ruthless emperor.

In his mind, he compared Li Li and Li Wei's uncle and nephew with each other, and then looked at the fierce offensive of Wuwei Iron Cavalry, Fan Chou's expression was cold, and his eyes were full of cold light and killing intent. At this moment, he had made up his mind. has been mediocre and decadent for most of his life, and today is the day when he shows his edge. —————— (To be continued)(To be continued......
