Half an hour.

An hour.

Time is constantly passing, the sun has moved westward, but the shouting and killing outside Donghe Village has not weakened, it has always spread outward, echoing in the mountains and wilderness of the Qinling Mountains, and from time to time there will erupt a burst of obviously raised roars, like a high tide.

Tens of thousands of Shu troops, the Han army led by Yao Yuanfu, besieged on the slope that was not high but enough to be defended, and launched no less than ten charges before and after, completely competing for the contest of will, filling the gap with their lives.

Since the Northern Expedition, even the setback Shu army, under strict orders, has also released the last bit of blood, a bit of fear of death, but in the face of tougher resistance, no fear.

There is a veteran who is nearly seventy years old and still stands on the front line to command, taking the lead, which greatly stimulates morale. With a wave of counterattacks led by Yao Yuanfu himself, condescendingly, the iron cavalry charged, and once again repelled the attack of the Shu army.

Although Yao Yuanfu restrained himself in a corner, he also restricted the development of the Shu army, that is, he was bent on exchanging his life for his life and waiting for reinforcements. He believes that Zhao Hui and Xiang Xun must have reacted, not only to keep their lives, but also to turn defense into offense and win a big victory.

Donghe Village belongs to the jurisdiction of Fengzhou, when the main road of Sichuan and Shaanxi, by the mountains and rivers, but because of the border, it has been abandoned for a long time. Between the ruins, Li Tingjue, the commander of the Shu army, was a little restless, pacing incessantly, the bright military armor restrained him a little breathlessly, and the sweat had already soaked the inner lining.

He kept urging the attack, but under the resolute will of the Han army to resist, it had little effect, just like a reef, standing still under the invasion of waves of tides.

"Change the wave of people to rush and kill, pass on my orders, and those who dare to fight up and down will be killed!" Li Tingqi couldn't help but be angry, and threw another strict order.

kept urging the attack, but it has been difficult to make a breakthrough, which made Li Tingqi feel a little wrong. Looking from afar, in the midst of the siege of the Shu army, the banner of the word "medicine" has always stood tall.

"This medicine Yuanfu is so difficult? As for our generals, can't even a hao head be defeated? Li Tingqi couldn't help but say angrily.

"What's the situation over there, hasn't you annihilated that Han army yet?" Li Tingqi asked again.

No one answered on the left and right, but there was a parent school, so I rushed to inquire. About a quarter of an hour later, the school came to report, and his voice was accompanied by caution: "General He launched ten attacks on the Han army, and the Han army relied on the mountains and forests to resist stubbornly, so that it could not overcome the ...... repeatedly."

"Damn!" Li Tingqi broke his defense a little.

One of the soldiers joined the army and couldn't help but say: "The pursuing Han army is obviously elite, brave and tough, tenacious in battle, and relying on the shape of the mountains and rivers to win and reap, although our army is numerous, but it is difficult to fully deploy, so it is not defeated." Recruit to make the thinking change to respond! ”

"How to change?" Li Tingqi calmed down a little.

"After all, the Han army is outnumbered, or seize the time and fight to break it, or, or withdraw the siege!" Said the army.

"If you hit this situation, can you still withdraw?" Li Tingjun reprimanded, a trace of hesitation flashed between his expressions, hesitated a little, gritted his teeth, and waved his hand: "Order Sun Hanshao, let him lead the Gudao army and come north to increase the aid war!" ”

There are more than 30,000 Shu troops on the front line of Chencang, and there are still 10,000 soldiers of the Shu general Sun Hanshao in the south of Gudaoshui. Li Tingqi issued this order, but he was determined to make a desperate bet and compete with the Han army to the end. Of course, as he said, at this time, there is absolutely no reason to retreat, otherwise the previous achievements will be abandoned, and it will easily lead to a rout.

However, Li Tingqi wanted to buy time, but the Han army did not give him more time, and the reinforcements arrived quickly, which was unexpected.

Six or seven miles away, it was also a siege, but in terms of intensity, it was much lower than that of Yao Yuanfu. Li Yan, the general of the Han army, was also an experienced general, although he also followed the rapid advance and maintained a fast pace, but he did not relax his vigilance, and during the march, he always maintained a counterattack and even a defensive formation.

After Yao Yuanfu broke through the Shu Soldiers' Palace Army and was surrounded, Fang led his troops and accelerated his speed, intending to enter the rescue in the south. He had no choice, and he didn't want or dare to sit on the sidelines while the Lord was about to be trapped.

So on the way to the army, he fell into the encirclement of the Shu army led by He Jianjian. However, relying on his early psychological preparation, Li Yan did not panic and responded quickly, like Yao Yuanfu, he chose to storm a mountain forest and occupy it.

is also the same as Yao Yuanfu's idea, sticking to and waiting for help, and having him contain He to rebuild this defender can be regarded as a disguised reduction of the pressure on Yao Yuanfu's side. In comparison, the situation here is much better than that of Yao Yuanfu.

It's never easy to attack from the back, especially in the face of an infantry army that is good at defending according to its shape. In the Shu army array, He Jianjian was full of fatigue, observing the offensive and defensive situation, with a solemn expression.

"General, Li Zhaojiao ordered us to defeat the Han army within half an hour and set up a barrier on the spot to prevent enemy reinforcements!"

Hearing the order, He Jianjian almost scolded, he was here, and he had done his best. The difficulty of the Han army was somewhat unexpected by him, and he did not have the consciousness of being scheming and falling into a siege. According to his estimate, unless this Han army runs out of arrows, let alone half an hour, it will be difficult to break it if he is given two more hours.

"Reply to the order to recruit envoys, saying that our army is under order, and it will be broken!" Holding back the unhappiness in his heart, He Zhengjian commanded with an ugly face.

He rebuilt the original Jianxiong army of the Later Jin Dynasty, stationed in Qinzhou, after the Khitan destroyed the Jin, led the people to take refuge in Houshu, and helped it to collect Qin, Feng, Jie, Cheng four states in one fell swoop, in the confrontation between Shu and Han, he has been active.

However, after joining Shu, although he was treated favorably by Meng Chang, the lord of Shu, titles, high-ranking officials, Ronglu, and beauties, he was transferred from Qinzhou. got out of the nest, let He rebuild all these years, and his heart is actually quite tasteless.

Including the second Northern Expedition to Guanzhong, although he was appointed as the general of the unified army, the discomfort in his heart did not decrease but increased. Seeing that the Northern Han Dynasty has become stronger and stronger over the years, and looking at the respect of Zhao Hui, Shi Kuangyi, Yao Yuanfu and others, I have no envy and regret at the beginning, if I wait and see the situation more and take refuge in the Northern Han Dynasty, what would be the result......

It was difficult for He Jianjian to defeat Li Yanjun, in addition to the strong combat strength of the Han army and the proper response, he was not fully committed, which was also the reason.

"General, the reinforcements of the Han army are approaching, and they are coming quickly!" The report of the sentry rider made He Jianjian's heart sink a little.

"So fast?" He rebuilt and could not hide his consternation.

But he couldn't take care of a lot, so he immediately made an emergency adjustment and divided his troops to resist, so that it would be even more delusional to completely defeat Li Yanjun.

The first to feel the battlefield was Wang Renzhen, who came from Sanguan, and only led him to prepare the thousands of troops to attack in advance. After Xiang Xun led the army south, he took the initiative to ask for battle and allowed Xun to do so.

The leading army approached, took a rough look at the battlefield situation, without the slightest hesitation, Wang Renzhen, who took the lead on the prancing horse and made meritorious contributions, directly led his subordinates and rushed to the Shu army formation without fear, pointing directly at He Jianjian's banner. Not to break the Shu army, but to disturb its military morale and mess up its position.

After that, Xiang Xunqin led the main force of reinforcements, maintained physical strength, maintained the position, and calmly pressed. In addition to the necessary garrison, Zhao Hui sent the remaining troops in Baoji City to Xiang Xun, and he was not in a hurry, and it was easy to have an opportunity with the enemy army.

On the side of Donghe Village, under the strong pressure of Li Tingqi, the Shu army changed two waves of people, launched an attack on Yao Yuanfu, and disdained the dead and wounded style of play, which once forced Yao Yuanfu into a desperate situation, but on the verge of defeat, it was difficult to withstand.

Yao Yuanfu was very distressed, the cavalry was used like this, and he was surrounded and killed like this, he felt that it was a waste and stupid. If the final result is not worth the loss, he doesn't know how to deal with it.

Seeing that the Shu army, which was weakening in attack, Yao Yuanfu, who was already full of blood, knew that he had won again in this wave. But how long it can be carried depends on the reinforcements.

"The reinforcements of the Han army are coming, attacking from both sides, General He is difficult to fight, he has been defeated and retreated, and the Han army is pursuing south!" A military report made Li Tingqi's mentality a little unbalanced.

"What!" Li Tingjue's face was a little red from the heat, and he couldn't help but turn a little whiter, and his voice trembled a little: "How can the Han army be so fast? Why did he rebuild fail so quickly! ”

Including the military academy that was announced, no one could solve his doubts at this time.

"The situation is not good, you need to make a decision immediately!" Li Tingqi was a little panicked, and his generals persuaded him.

Hearing this, Li Tingqi took a few deep breaths, tried to calm down, his mind was still a little chaotic, he hesitated for a long time, his face was unwilling, and finally ordered: "Summons He to rebuild, let him reorganize his troops and horses, according to the Taoist Palace, while fighting and retreating, he will definitely block the Han army reinforcements for me!" ”

Turning around, he looked at the Yao Yuan Fu Army in the distance, which was still like a stubborn stone, and reluctantly ordered: "Maintain the military formation, withdraw!" ”
