So Li Dao sent his nephew Li Bei to see Dong Bai and Tong Yuan with heavy gifts. The negotiation was relatively smooth, and after the matter was completed, Zuo Fengyi's Wannian and Gaoling counties were all assigned to the Xinxi Liang Army.

After the discussion between the few of them, they drank again, as if the emperor had already arrived.

In fact, whether it is Tong Yuan or Dong Wei, they all know that Li Dao and Guo Yan have little hope, because their opponent is the terrible Li Ru.

Li Wei took off the bear army and gathered more than 20,000 soldiers and horses from all over the country who obeyed his orders, and was afraid that the troops would not be enough, so he dragged 20,000 people as cannon fodder.

Since the target was directly aimed at Li Ru, he also brought Tang Ji with him, intending to let him witness him kill Li Ru, and then occupy him.

Guo Yan arranged for Cui Yong to be stationed in Huayin on the one hand, and took Wu Xi to prepare to take Huayin County in a flank attack. When the time comes, Li Wei's tens of thousands of troops will come over, and Li Ru and Duan Xuan will not be mantis arms as cars.

Li Dao had already ordered people to build countless long ladder iron claws, which were specially prepared for the attack on Huayin County. But when he led the army to approach the city, he found that Li Ru's soldiers and horses had actually left the city with their backs to the city wall to line up!

This army of only more than 1,000 people, most of them armed with iron shields and spears, formed a dense phalanx in front of the pass. Surprised, he sent scouts to repeatedly probe and make sure that there was no second army in ambush nearby.

Li Wei couldn't help but be furious when he saw the other party's arrangement, although he had lost many elites, no matter how much he said that his strength was still the boss of the Xiliang Army!

The defenders of Tongguan are also too arrogant, and they want to go out of the city to fight him with more than a thousand people, but there is really no one in their eyes.

He looked at the dense formation of the opposing shield spearmen, and knew that he definitely couldn't use the cavalry to attack head-on, and those large shields also looked like they were not afraid of bows and crossbows. So he directly asked the cannon fodder soldiers to go first, and after the opponent's physical strength was consumed, the main force went to harvest the heads.

The 5,000 captives were forced into battle with rudimentary weapons and farm tools. They may also fantasize that after taking Huayin County, they can go home for reunion. As everyone knows, their families have been plundered by Li Daojun, and they have already taken the lead.

To the sound of war drums, the one-sided slaughter began.

The dense array of Greek-style spears was impermeable, and rows of spikes knocked down everything that stood in their way, forcing the cannon fodder to get within five meters.

Some of the brave men stretched out their hands to grab the spears, not wanting to be greased or something like that, and they couldn't hold on to them. The spear in his hand was twitched and poked, and a group of people rushed to Huangquan.

The people in the back row tried to throw stones to kill, but the big shield of the phalanx was completely covered, where could the stones hurt people?

Soon, stacks of corpses were piled up in front of the phalanx, and the Xiliang army was coerced behind, and no cannon fodder dared to step forward to send them to death.

Li Shi, Li Xian, Li Bei, and Hu Feng have never seen such an opponent, they saw that the first batch of cannon fodder was only killed in 20%, and no one rushed forward, and ordered the rest to be sentenced to death in public, warning the remaining 20,000 cannon fodder.

"Ahhh

"Uh-uh"

More than 3,000 innocent civilians were brutally murdered in front of the two armies. For the sake of their own fields, they did not flee far away, thinking that they had survived until the end of the war, but they did not expect that this would be the result in the end.

Due to Li Daojun's deliberate terror, the screams of the whole process were endless, long and inhumane, and even Hupalaka in front of the gate almost threw up.

Some of the coerced people hurriedly slipped away, and one after another, nearly 1,000 people smeared oil on the soles of their feet and fled in the direction of their hometowns.

Hu Feng, who was in charge of the guard, was not in a hurry, and when these people ran out of the land, they blew a horse whistle, and a hundred cavalry began a safari-style pursuit.

"Haha, it's been a long time since I've hunted!"

"See who has the most prey!"

Li Dao didn't care too much about all these situations. For him, a big Sima, a farmer or something, is not worth a glance at at all, but this Li Ru seems to be a little prepared.

He always felt that he had seen similar soldiers and horses somewhere, but he couldn't remember. If only I could think of it, maybe I would be able to find a way to deal with it.

Li Daozi and nephews, who were in charge of the command, sent the second batch of 5,000 cannon fodder. This time, instead of leaving these poorly armed civilians alone, they sent a thousand archers to cover them with a rain of arrows after the melee battle began.

Those heavy infantry with large shields are indeed very powerful, but when they focus on the cannon fodder in front of them, can they still defend themselves against arrows?

Whether it works or not, when this batch of cannon fodder runs out, one or two more batches will come, and then don't say shoot to death, even if they are tired and tired.

Hupalaka looked at the improvised farmers, who were clearly more desperate than the previous ones. They still tried to grab the shaft of the spear and approached at the risk of death.

But now the spears in the front row were soaked in blood in addition to grease, and they were even more slippery and difficult to be snatched and held.

In addition, the corpses were piled up more and more in front of the battle, and the ground was already bleeding, and some farmers were unsteady on their feet, and trampled on because of pushing.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Baichang sounded his characteristic flute, and the soldiers, knowing that there was a rain of arrows, raised their left arms to cover their comrades on the left half of their bodies and on their right.

"Bell, bell!"

Of course, the heavy iron shield could block the light arrows thrown at it, but some soldiers in the front row could not raise their shields to cover because they were holding spears in both hands and were in a flat state, so there were more than 20 casualties in the first few rows.

Of course, in order to cover the front row of the phalanx, the projectile Xiliang Army also indiscriminately covered the front row of the cannon fodder, which directly led to more than two hundred accidental injuries.

But they don't care, in their eyes, these cannon fodder are already occupying land and wasting food, and in addition to consuming the opponent's physical strength, they can get a certain amount of casualties, which is worth it.

Hupalaka knew that if this continued, the other party's more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, plus more than 10,000 farmers, would definitely be able to deal with their more than 1,000 people. However, he was also confident in his family master, believing that he only needed to continue to defend for now.

On the other side of Huayin County.

Guo Yan and Wu Xi raised troops from Huxian County early, with 8,000 soldiers, ready to join Li Dao and then rob Emperor Xian.

Guo Yan had already seen Huashan from a distance, and he had seen Huashan, so Huayin City, north of Huashan and south of Weishui, was not far away.

He said proudly to Wu Xi beside him, "Soon after, the world will really be in my hands, what do you want to do?" ”

Wu Xi stared at the direction of the north side of Huashan with a slightly serious expression, and did not answer Guo Yan for a while.

Guo Yan said, "Don't worry, just say it. In the future, I will become a general, and you can also be a former general. ”

Wu Xi said, "The last general understands, but now he only remembers the task and doesn't dare to think about anything else." ”

Guo Yan was a little surprised, it is said that these border warriors have always been the kind of people who are happy in time. If you don't have fun, you may lose your head tomorrow, so I think about how to enjoy it every day.

Why is Wu Xi a little strange today, it seems that he is more concerned about converging Li Wei than himself, does he really want to be a good general?
