082 Qi Ce frequently offered a resurgence of fighting, and secret letters were passed on one after another to seek attack
The forward battalion of Xi'ou rushed straight down the hillside with lightning speed and smashed into the enemy formation, and then the two sides started a fierce battle. Ouyang Zhenyu and the military advisor watched the battle from a high place, only to see the dust below, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
At this time, there was an unbelievable change on the battlefield, and a gap suddenly appeared in the opposing camp, and the forward battalion easily cut off the long snake like a sharp knife. Ouyang Zhenyu and the military advisor were shocked when they saw this, and the two of them let out a sigh at the same time.
Ouyang Zhenyu said: "This is too abnormal, it must be a trap." The lone king's forward battalion has been trapped in the formation and surrounded! ”
The military advisor said: "It can't be a trap, if the one-word long snake formation is divided into two sections, and the end is not taken care of, the whole army will be wiped out." ”
Ouyang Zhenyu fixed his eyes and saw that the other camp was not divided into two parts. Therefore, he turned back to the guards beside him and said, "All the troops, all into battle." The mid-lane army attacks with the Lone King! ”
"Kill—" All the Xiou soldiers raised their weapons, galloped their horses, and rushed forward.
Ouyang Zhenyu led the army to insert from the center of the broken snake, and collided with Li Hongyi without thinking head-on.
For a while, the sand flew away, and the cold wind was like a knife......
Li Hongyi's swordsmanship was as fast as lightning, and a sword stabbed straight at the opposite door, Ouyang Zhenyu dodged sideways, and with a wave of the spear, swept a circle, hitting Li Hongyi's lower abdomen. Fortunately, Li Hongyi reacted quickly, turned around and blocked it with a sword. With a "ding" sound, the two swords met, and sparks splashed everywhere.
In just a short period of time, Li Hongyi could already see that this person was a master, and looking at his armor, he knew that his identity was extraordinary. Thinking of this, the indifferent expression on Li Hongyi's face became a little fanatical, and his whole body also exuded a solemn and ruthless murderous aura.
Ouyang Zhenyu saw that Li Hongyi's body was full of strong murderous aura, and his eyes were as cold as ice as if he was looking at a stranger. I don't know if he really didn't recognize himself, or if he turned into Shura as soon as he arrived on the battlefield, cold-blooded and cold-faced, ruthless.
At this moment, the personal guards of the King of Xiou came to help, they protected the sovereign behind them, and pointed their swords at Li Hongyi. Li Hongyi also glared angrily at the comers, and then he took the initiative to attack and stabbed at those people. The sword is as fast as the wind and as fierce as thunder.
After a burst of sword light, five people fell to the ground, and the blood instantly stained the grass under their feet.
At this time, the military advisor who was watching the battle on the high ground suddenly clenched his fists tightly and stared at the movement below. I saw that the opponent's formation was changing rapidly unconsciously, and I saw that the broken snakes were connected from the beginning to the end, and a new long snake formation was formed.
The military advisor was shocked when he saw this, and exclaimed bitterly: "It's not a long snake formation, we have been fooled!" ”
It's a pity that it was too late, and when the King of Xiou, who was fighting in the array, found out, the new long snake formation was already connected head to tail, forming an encirclement.
"Withdraw, withdraw!" After Ouyang Zhenyu found out about the scheme, he didn't care about entanglement with Li Hongyi, and hurriedly gave orders to organize the whole army to break through.
Li Hongyi was willing to let it go and wanted to chase after him, but Li Honghui rode his horse at this time and said to him: "Big brother, open the net on three sides (1), become the king of soup, leave a gap." ”
Li Hongyi was puzzled: "Why? ”
"We don't have that many troops to swallow it in one gulp. If you cut off its back path, it is difficult to guarantee that the enemy will not jump over the wall. Li Honghui analyzed, "Besides, half an hour has passed, presumably the two generals Zhang and Xu have already laid an ambush." ”
"Okay." Li Hongyi gave the order and opened up a way for the enemy to survive.
Ouyang Zhenyu saw that there was a way out ahead, and he didn't dare to hesitate, even if there was a trap ahead, he had to break out. When they fled a hillside and were about to cross the river, they found that Zhang Ling and Xu Lei's army was lying in ambush on the other side of the river, waiting for their arrival.
Ouyang Zhenyu looked around, only to see that the other party was menacing, at least 10,000 cavalry besieged, and only then did he react for a while, the main force of the Han army was not in the formation, but here.
"Is it really a trick to lure troops?" Ouyang Zhenyu had a mouthful of old blood in his heart, "Li Hongyi, Liu An, you are very good!" ”
Before King Xi'ou finished sighing, Zhang Ling and Xu Lei's troops had already rushed over.
With elite soldiers against the defeated army, there is no invincible.

By the time the battlefield was cleared, it was already dusk. I saw that the remnant sun was like blood, and the afterglow sprinkled on the rolling river, adding a brilliant and shocking red to the river. It's just half water, half blood.
"It's a pity, in the end, King Xiou escaped." Xu Lei was a little regretful, he never thought that Ouyang Zhenyu would be so brave, and in such an embattled crisis, he could still be in danger, lead the team to fight, and finally find the right time to break out of the encirclement.
Li Honghui comforted: "If you arrest him, it will set off the hatred of the Xiou people, which may not be a blessing for our dynasty." ”
Xu Lei nodded, and suddenly asked, "What kind of array was that just now?" ”
"My self-created formation - the long dragon turns into a rain array."
"Where did you get the time to rehearse your new formation?" Xu Lei questioned.
"It's very simple, it's a transformation of a long snake formation. As long as you grasp one of the changes, the rest is no different from the original formation. ”
"You're amazing." Xu Lei patted Li Honghui on the shoulder, and said in his heart that this guy is actually hidden, so smart, is he really born to Li Hongyi as a mother?

In this battle, more than 50,000 enemies were annihilated, 3,000 prisoners were captured, and a heavy blow was dealt to Xi'ou, which was an unprecedented victory for our dynasty. The good news reached the capital, and the whole country rejoiced. When the emperor heard this, Long Yan was happy, and issued an edict to reward the three armies, and Xuan Gaowei returned to the court.
In the ninth year of Tai'an, on the twenty-sixth day of November, the emperor led hundreds of civil and military officials to greet him outside the Yongde Gate. Shao An accompanied the holy driver, standing in the city tower, looking forward to it.
At noon, the drums and trumpets sounded in unison, and three thousand black-armored iron horsemen were seen from afar, under the leadership of Gao Wei, coming towards the city gate. Shao An stood straight behind the emperor, counting the three thousand soldiers. However, among so many people, Shao An still saw his brother at first sight. At this time, Li Hongyi also looked up at the city tower. The two inadvertently met their eyes, and he and him, above and below the city, looked at each other from afar through the layers of crowds.
Not only Shao An, but everyone's eyes were focused on the young general beside the boss. I saw that the general was wearing inky black iron armor, prancing on his horse and whipping, and moving forward with the reins; Looking forward to it, he was full of energy and high spirits.
After this battle, I was disgraced before the snow, and Li Hongyi also shocked the world. Both civilians and nobles had a strong admiration for this general who raided and swept the grasslands.
The emperor watched the banner approaching, and Gao Wei was already under the city, so he set off to go downstairs. Shao An saw that the saint was driving, and he also followed. Gao Wei was excited when he saw the holy car coming, and ordered the whole army to dismount and bow down.
Seeing this, the emperor smiled, helped Gao Wei up, and said, "Soldiers, you have worked hard. ”
Gao Wei humbly said: "The minister did not dare to take credit, this battle was all thanks to General Li's courage and strategy, and the lone army went deep and was able to inflict heavy losses on the enemy." ”
The emperor turned his head to look at Li Hongyi, and an indescribable emotion swelled in his heart. It feels like watching my own child finally become famous, extremely gratifying and complacent.
According to the ancestral system, when the army returned, it first greeted the suburbs, then told the temple and the society, and then offered prisoners. At the end of the suburbs, the emperor set off to tell the ancestors of heaven and earth, and then offered a captive gift at the noon gate.
To demonstrate the benevolence of the Celestial Empire, the emperor ordered a general amnesty for the captives. The courtiers issued a decree announcing their acquittal. Under the instructions of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the captives shouted three times to thank the emperor.
The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and then led Shao An and Li Hongyi to climb the city tower surrounded by all the ministers, overlooking the rivers and mountains. Brilliant sunlight shines on every corner of the Forbidden City, reflecting a little bit of golden light. Just like Qionglou Yuyu, gorgeous and incomprehensible.
In the distance, light smoke rises from the city of Chang'an, and looking north through the pillar of smoke, it is a vast plain...... His gaze seemed to have crossed tens of thousands of miles, all the way to the ends of the earth, taking in the entire country.
However, Shao'an's world is not the world of this Kyushu. He tilted his head slightly and looked at Li Hongyi who was standing beside him with a smile. I saw that his armor shone brightly in the sunlight, bathed in glory.
Suddenly, the emperor looked back and asked Li Hongyi to step forward, cross Gao Wei, and set up the king's side to enjoy thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. At this moment, thousands of soldiers under the city tower shouted in unison: "Long live, long live, long live!" The cry shook the earth and resounded inside and outside Chang'an.
However, no one will accuse this young general of rash transgression, after all, everyone can see that Li Hongyi's era has come.
