Chapter 791: The Beacon Fire and the Golden Flow, the Great River (3)
The sky was gray, and the 170,000-strong army was in the long autumn colors on the north bank of the Yellow River. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ infoThe north wind swept the white grass and broke it, and the withered grass and dust spread out into the distance along with the continuous formation, and between the movement of the army, the sky in the distance was already rising with beacon smoke.
Although he was in the middle of a huge phalanx, the occasional sound of the soldiers around him caused the movement to converge, and it was still like a tide. Li Xizhi rode on his horse, looking at the dust raised by the mobilization of the army in front of him, and the blood on his body had become hot.
Even at the last moment, he was still speculating about the real purpose of the Black Flag Army's killing, whether it was coercion and deterrence, so that he did not dare to let go and attack the Daimyo's Mansion, or whether there were other purposes behind it...... However, the other party finally came, and what echoed it was the fact that Wang Shanyue and others of the "Guangwu Army" opened the Daimyo's Mansion and rushed from the south. The other party's strategic intentions are so simple and crude, and he finally doesn't have to be suspicious anymore, but what is revealed behind this is really cold on the cheeks and chills on the head, like the humiliation of being slapped in the face.
50,000 people attacking the 170,000 army, coming so resolutely, can only show that the other party thinks that its combat effectiveness is much higher than its own, and it wants to sweep its more than 100,000 troops out of the battlefield before facing the Jin army such as Zongfu and Zongwang.
The sense of anger and humiliation after confirming this fact made Li Xizhi tremble, but then it was also transformed into a boiling killing intent and motivation, if Li Xizhi originally had some hesitation in his heart, at this time, the determination to defeat these two parties had dominated his mind. has been despised so much, if he doesn't defeat these 50,000 people, will he still be a man in the future?
More than 100,000 troops spread out evenly on the battlefield within a radius of more than ten miles, in order to prevent large-scale rout, Li Xizhi broke up the army into one defense line after another, and used dense defense to deal with the sharp edge of the black flag. Li Xizhi has never underestimated the enemy, he understands how powerful the Black Flag's offensive is, but no matter how strong the attack is, after all, there are only 10,000 people, even if it is dragged, it will drag them down on this field.
On this day, on the 11th day of August in the ninth year of Jianshuo, when the morning sun rose, the Huaxia army launched an attack in two directions and began to gouge through Li Xizhi's army, and at the same time, in the direction of the Daimyofu in the south, the Guangwu army was divided into three groups and launched an attack on Li Xizhi's position from different directions.
As the daylight gradually rose, the voices of people and the roaring cannons of more than 200,000 people boiled the sky to the north of the Daimyo's Mansion. The chaotic flying rain of arrows, rushing and exploding occasionally streaked across the late autumn hills, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, accompanied by explosions. This is the first major battle experienced in the Central Plains after the Xiaocang River, artillery has begun to become popular, regardless of the quality, both sides are not skilled in the use of this weapon, in the southern battlefield, the troops of the Guangwu Army occasionally pass through the position, kill through the opponent's artillery position, causing a huge explosion, and occasionally the troops are scattered in the opponent's artillery fire.
The Huaxia army in the north was much better in the face of artillery fire. Xiaocanghe fought for three years, and finally retreated south, some of the people were deliberately left in the Central Plains by Ning Yi, and some Huaxia soldiers were separated from the large army and failed to go south. Those who were separated in the Central Plains and returned to the team one after another, most of them later gathered in the Liangshan area and joined Zhu Biao's team. These soldiers have experienced the most brutal war situation, in the three years of the war, has long been accustomed to breathing on the battlefield, later generations often said that veterans are afraid of guns, new soldiers are afraid of artillery, these soldiers have understood the power of artillery fire and how to deal with it. In the space of two hours, the commander of the Black Flag Army drove straight forward, contacted and defeated several 10,000 teams of 10,000 people under Li Xizhi's command, including Tang Dingyi, Liu Hui, and Geng Guoan, and advanced the offensive to the area of the withered grass shop five miles away from Li Xizhi.
With the initial sharp momentum, the attack launched by the Guangwu army in the south is also constantly advancing, the defense line composed of 170,000 troops is constantly operating under the mobilization of Li Xizhi, from time to time there are troops defeated and scattered, and new teams are on top, the scattered troops are re-integrated, the battle situation has been carried out for more than an hour, Li Xizhi arranged in the southern defense line of the general Kou Li led 3,000 people to suddenly turn against the water, a counterattack, instantly caused the brunt of the rout of nearly 10,000 people, Li Xizhi's nephew Li Xuanwu led the nearby army to fight hard, finally stabilized the situation.
However, although in the first two hours, the offensive in the south and northeast was constantly approaching, and at noon on this day, Li Xizhi, who was in charge of the Chinese army, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and in the dry grass shop in the northeast, nearly 40,000 people finally extended the offensive of the Black Flag Army here, and although the battle in the south was fierce, the advance at this time had begun to become slow-as long as the opponent's offensive could be slowed down, and the next situation would be an advantage for himself.
That's what he thought, and that's not bad.
It was only at noon that a huge explosion suddenly came from the side and rear of the formation, the smoke and dust of the explosion rose, and the ground shook. The war horses neighed and ran, the chaos had spread, and a team of people rode their horses and rushed over: "The black flag has arrived, kill Li Xizhi-"
"Lu Jianyun has defected-"
"Vertical looking for death!" Li Xizhi's eyebrows sharpened, and he pulled out the big knife on his side, "The Black Flag offensive is tired!" These clowns are just desperate and desperate! The odds are mine, sons, slay this thief with me! I'm going to cut off his head with my own handsβ"
At this time, he no longer delved into why there were traitors in such close proximity - it was not surprising that Black Flag would arrange traitors - he had also been fighting horses all his life, and he was about to rush there in person when he shouted loudly, but the elite soldiers in the rear had already blocked the onslaught of the cavalry. The rebels retreated in a hurry, and nearby troops were already surrounding from all sides. Li Xizhi was giving a loud order, and a blood-stained knight galloped from the northeast direction, and the scout rolled off his horse when he got close, and the first sentence made Li Xizhi stunned.
"The withered grass is ruinedβ"
ββ¦β¦ What did you say! Li Xizhi's mind went blank for a moment, and for a moment, he swung his long knife and slashed at the other party, but the scout said the second sentence with a crying voice.
"Tang Dingyi defected and cut off the head of General Liu Hui and Liu......"
"Pour ...... Your mother's Ge, Tang Dingyi ......"
Li Xizhi trembled, so angry that he couldn't speak, but the five-mile road is not far, just in the northeast, a chaos is beginning to become huge, there are troops being coerced, scattered, is pouring towards this side, Li Xizhi immediately ordered 20,000 people to move forward, the military law team drew a knife, on the one hand to maintain order, on the other hand to collect the rout, block the black flag that came to kill, but the chain reaction has appeared, Lu Jianyun and others who had previously defected have not been besieged and killed, and two more broke out in the military formation anyway, and then there was the appearance of a heavy explosion.
20,000 men were in front, and as soon as they came into contact with the rushing army, they began to break up. The black flag cleaved the waves in the field of vision, spreading, and someone shouted: "The Huaxia army is coming, surrender and avoid death-" Li Xizhi ordered the military law team to start killing, he wanted to take the elite of his own formation to kill, but what he was facing in front of him was already an inverted bead curtain. On the side, a rout of about 5,000 people originally under Feng Qize's command also shouted at this time Anyway, they fought hard towards Li Xizhi's side - during the battle of Lin He'ao, what Feng Qize was afraid of was the defection of the traitors in the army, but in that big battle, the black flag should never appear, this rout returned to Li Xizhi, and was reorganized again, no one expected to defect at the moment.
More than 200,000 people fought for a morning, and now, it has finally been boiled into a pot of porridge, and the chaos can no longer be chaotic. At this hour at noon, Li Xizhi saw the most fantastical scene in his life, taking Tang Dingyi's defection as a turning point, among the 170,000 troops, as many as 20,000 troops defected because the generals were plotted against them, and the large-scale and small-scale defections and coups instantly eroded his army into a sieve, and at the same time destroyed the military spirit of more than 100,000 troops.
Li Xizhi's eyes were blood-red, and he led the 20,000 direct elites under his command to rush to kill. Soon after, his nephew Li Xuanwu also came over with his army. These 30,000 armies clashed on the battlefield, and the corresponding was the rout and dispersion of hundreds of thousands of armies. The Black Flag Army and the Guangwu Army pursued and killed from the rear, and the entire battlefield spread for more than ten miles, extending from the west side through the Daimyo's Mansion, and Li Xizhi's direct troops were pursued all the way to the bank of the Yellow River on the southwest side of the Daimyo's Mansion.
In the evening, more than 15,000 troops were besieged on the banks of the Yellow River, trying to resist stubbornly, and in the ensuing fierce attack, a large number of troops were killed and pushed into the Yellow River. Li Xizhi was protected in the center by his nephew, personal guards and others, and by this time, he had lost his spirit, constantly shaking his head, and only said: "Impossible, impossible......"
If the Black Flag Army had such a large number of spies in the first place, it would have been impossible for this battle to last until noon.
But it all happened before his eyes.
Before this, he was already a prince of the ruling side of the Central Plains, in this world, he should have been the one who fell in the chess game, but with the outbreak of war, his 170,000 elite army, facing the attack of 50,000 people, was defeated overnight.
It is hard to imagine how many swingers there were in his army before this, and with the progress of this battle, which has no room for turn, the inner part of the Huaxia army should have completed the work of rebelling against the swingers.
The sun was setting, and the Huaxia army began to persuade them to surrender, and Li Xizhi, who was covered with dirty blood and dust, picked up a big knife and was unwilling to surrender. His guards were greeted by a cannonball, and Li Xizhi was knocked to the ground by a cannonball, and he staggered to his feet, brandishing a broadsword and rushing at the Chinese soldiers who killed him, and the other party cut him to the ground.
"I told you, adults fight--kids get out of the way-"
At this moment, on the Yellow River, countless corpses were surging with the water waves, and the smoke of gunpowder outside the Daimyo's mansion had not stopped. On this day, it was only a few days before the arrival of Yan Zongbi's Jurchen forward, but the rout of the 170,000 army would definitely shock everyone's attention in these few days.
Back more than 20 days ago, Wang Shanyue gathered with Zhu Biao of the Huaxia Army on the hill, bringing dangerous topics.
"I have a plan to die, bring it to you today."
ββ¦β¦β
"It has been several years since the Jurchens went south, and the Central Plains have been together. I want to seize the Daimyo Mansion and create some trouble for the Jurchens, but such a small trouble may not be exciting enough, and I am not sure that the Jurchens will stay in the Daimyo...... There should be countless black flags, and they helped me make plum branches first. β
ββ¦β¦ The Huaxia army has an internal response, but the internal response is not a god, Li Xizhi is incompetent, and 170,000 people are placed there, which is difficult. β
"You helped me make Li Xiaozhi, I won't let you help keep the name."
ββ¦β¦ You really don't want to die. β
ββ¦β¦ Over the years, Li Xizhi and the Jurchens have become more and more brutal, but fewer and fewer people have resisted. This time the Jurchen went south, there will be no room for the Wu Dynasty, it is the land of the Central Plains, but not many people dare to do it, even if you capture Liu Yu and return the world to the Wu Dynasty...... Dou Mingde, the owner of the Yellow Snake Village, was killed by the Jurchens up and down the family, and now he doesn't dare to use his mantis arm as a car, the gray mountain is strict, and his daughter was killed after being captured and tortured by the Jin people, I went to ask him for help, but he didn't believe me. If we can defeat Li Xizhi and hold back the Jurchen army in the Daimyo's Mansion, they will be able to have more confidence for every extra day...... Ning Yi is right, to save the world, we must rely on the people of the world, and it is not enough to rely on us alone. β
When she said this, it was when the stars were in the sky, Wang Shanyue had long hair and looked like a woman, but her eyes seemed to be pregnant with cold hope. Zhu Biao can better understand that with the operation of the Huaxia Army over the years, it is not impossible to defeat Li Xizhi with all his might, but if Li Xizhi is defeated, who will come to see the Daimyo's Mansion, and without Li Xizhi to see the Daimyo's Mansion, the one who comes to see the Daimyo's Mansion can only be the Jurchen army.
But the Wang family has always been like this. More than 20 years ago, when the Liao people went south, Wang Qisong led the whole family of men to fight against the Jurchen army, all of them were slaughtered, and the old people were skinned and their bodies were buried. Now, the only remaining male member of the Wang family is also going to embark on this path.
"You help me kill Li Xizhi." He said.
"I put the Daimyo's Mansion ...... Defend another Taiyuan! β
By the 11th of August, Li Xizhi's army had been defeated in an avalanche under the fierce offensive, and the Guangwu army had gathered a small number of troops and taken over the baggage, but for most of the people who could not be trusted, they were still let go after propaganda. On August 13, there were hundreds of people from the Yellow Snake Village who arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion, and every day thereafter, there were a group of people and horses coming over, and they were incorporated into the Guangwu Army, until August 16, Wanyan Zongbi's cavalry advanced to the Daimyo's Mansion within 100 miles, and the righteous people who arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion had as many as 6,000 people, these people either lost their families under the butcher's knife of the Jurchens, or they had great righteousness, and they were depressed and depressed by the Jurchens over the years, most of them understood that after entering the Daimyo's Mansion, it would be difficult to get out next.
The Huaxia army left the Daimyo's mansion.
The moon of fifteen was sixteen, and on this night, Zhu Biao left at the end of the team. Looking back at the Daimyo's Mansion, Wang Shanyue smiled and waved at the head of the city, dressed like snow, and Wu was in the wind. At this moment, the autumn is deep, the Yellow River in the south is still rushing, and the lonely city under the moonlight contains an incomparably heroic dream.
I will hold the Jurchens for as long as I want.
Until......
β¦β¦ Victory is coming.
