Chapter 850: The Sea is Wide and the Fish Leaps
Chapter 855
After Guan Yu led his army to leave this place, the confrontation between the coalition forces and the Rong continued. Under the command of Yeyuan Huo, the Rong people marched on all sides and gradually narrowed the encirclement.
Small units of the coalition army tried to break through the encirclement, and several times they sent troops, but were blocked by the Rong several times. The Rong people surrounded the 100,000-strong army with 40,000 troops, and the coalition battalion could not move.
Seven days later, the Rong launched a general attack. The four-way sortie slammed into the coalition camp.
Li Xingzai climbed high and looked into the distance, only to see the horse's hooves rolling, and the crowd was like waves. The 40,000 Rong tribe is like 40,000 blood-thirsty beasts, sweeping towards the coalition camp.
Qi Jiguang and Xu Wentian stood behind him left and right, and Li Xingzai held his hands behind him, and said, "General Qi, is there a way to deal with this battle?"
Qi Jiguang paused and said, "The morale of the enemy army is high, so I have to temporarily avoid its edge in order to plan for the future." ”
"That makes sense. Li Xingzai nodded, and as the words changed, he said: "Everyone temporarily avoids the edge, who will block the scimitar of the Rong clan?"
Qi Jiguang was stunned and silent.
"Be ready for battle. Li Xingzai snorted lightly and said, "General Qi, this battle is under your command." This is a soldier you have trained, and I believe that you are not weak Guan Yu. ”
Qi Jiguang clenched his fists with both hands: "The subordinates have done their best to die." ”
Li Xingya put away the smile on his face, and his whole person became serious.
"Fetch my armor and weapons. ”
There is a small colonel holding a silver helmet and silver armor, and another junior colonel is holding a golden gun from the overlord. Li Xingzai was wearing armor and preparing to go out to kill the enemy.
"The king takes care of his health, and I will do the work of killing the enemy. Qi Jiguang said.
"The empire has fallen to such a point, all the descendants of my Li family deserve to die, and they will die on the battlefield, maybe they will have the face to see the ancestors of the Li family. Li Xingzai's voice cooled down, and his eyes became hot: "General Qi, this battle is commanded by you, there is no prince here, and those who disobey the order will be killed." ”
Qi Jiguang knew that it was useless to persuade him, his own lord was not the kind of humble son who sat firmly in the army and his hands were not stained with blood, he was really a martial artist.
He could only signal Xu Wentian with his eyes, no matter what, he had to protect Li Xingya's safety. This battle can be lost, and Li Xingzai must not have anything to do.
Li Xingzai was neatly draped, rode a horse to the army, and Xu Wentian followed.
The war was about to break out, and in such a situation, the princes of all walks of life had to line up for arms and fight to the death with the Rong people.
At dawn, the Rong launched a general attack. The army of the western route drove straight into the coalition position. The two sides collided solidly, and the casualties were immediately counted.
Relying on the mobility advantage of the cavalry, the Rong people attacked quickly and retreated quickly. Each charge caused a large number of casualties to the coalition forces.
Li Xing sits in the place of the commander and commands in the center. He found a helpless fact, this time the Rong clan is particularly fierce, and when he is in a confrontation with Guan Yu, it is not the same as at all.
Masters compete with each other, only between square inches. But if you can't restrain the enemy's every inch and let it be used, the enemy will of course be like a tiger that has escaped from the gate, and cannot be stopped.
By this time, Li Xing also showed the bravery in his bones. The central command was not chaotic, and the soldiers were ordered to launch round after round of strong attacks. collided face-to-face with the Rong people, and the fight was fierce, and this alone also blocked the attack of the Rong people.
What a soldier can show is blood and life, and the general must show enough wisdom and courage.
The battle lasted from the rising sun to the sun, and the Rong people stopped the rhythm of the attack and rested.
After the battle, both sides were counting casualties. On the battlefield, there are many people who have lost their armor and their intestines are rotten. If you are killed by a knife on the spot, you are lucky, but the unlucky person is to lose your arm and leg, and your head is cut open, and you are still struggling with the immortal.
In this case, acquaintances have no choice but to give him a knife and close his eyes for him.
In the big tent, Qi Jiguang reported the casualties to Li Xingya. Although they blocked the attack of the Rong tribe, the casualties were really tragic.
Facing Li Xingzai, Qi Jiguang was a little ashamed, but Li Xingzai didn't blame him, but said: "General Qi is hard, rest early, I'm afraid tomorrow's battle will be even more tragic." ”
Qi Jiguang left in shame, and at the beginning, Li Xingzai compared him with Guan Yu. Qi Jiguang also felt that there was a gap between himself and Guan Yu in his heart. But the gap is not too big...... But when he really fought with the Rong people, he realized how cruel the reality was.
The army trained by oneself is indeed a sharp sword, but it also depends on who holds the sword. If Guan Yu was in command in the center today, the casualties would not have been so heavy, and he would not have been able to tear a hole in the encirclement.
......
In fact, Guan Yu didn't go very far. It was only two or three hundred miles away from the coalition camp, and this area was their range of activity.
Five hundred cavalry from Liangzhou operated here, ambushing a small group of cavalry of the Rong tribe and robbing the opponent's grain transportation team. Raising war with war, life is actually quite good.
What they did was a headache for the Rong people. On the one hand, a single team is often no match for the five hundred cavalry in Liangzhou. You can release a large force to kill them, and they will disappear without a trace.
Although 500 people are not much, they are like a nail pierced into the eyes of the Rong people.
On the other hand, the news of the Rong tribe's attack on the coalition army has reached Guan Yu's ears. On this day, several important figures in the army gathered to discuss the current situation.
Guan Yu drew a circle on the ground with a tree branch and said, "The grain road is cut off, and the coalition army must be panicked." In the current situation, the Rong people have taken the absolute initiative, and it seems that the coalition forces will not last long. ”
Zhang Fei, who was squatting on the side, nodded and asked, "Then what?"
Liu Bei took Guan Yu's words and continued, saying: "The coalition army was defeated in the first battle, and the Rong people grabbed the grain and grass of the coalition army, so they could free up their hands to attack Chang'an City. Judging from the current situation, Chang'an City will not last long. ”
"And then?" Zhang Fei asked again.
Everyone is the same, and today Zhang Sanye has a kind of meaning of breaking the casserole and asking to the end.
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Zhang Fei said: "Although the Rong clan is strong and the coalition army is weak, it is impossible for the Rong clan to defeat the coalition army without blood. What's more, Chang'an City, if Li Le really has a heart to break the boat, it is difficult to say whether the Rong clan can break through Chang'an. Even if the Rong people break through Chang'an, they must have suffered heavy casualties. What will a group of tired soldiers do then?"
Everyone quieted down and thought about it according to Zhang Sanye's words. Some people can see three steps, some people can see ten steps, there is no doubt that in this world, Zhang Sanye can see farther than everyone.
This war was fought back and forth, and hundreds of thousands of people were thrown into the battlefield, and the end was nothing more than a defeat for both sides. The so-called sandpiper and clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman, the key is, who is the fisherman after this battle?
As Cheng Dalei said, this battle seems to have a lot of decisions, but in fact, nothing can be decided. It's just the beginning.
