Chapter 897: Dead End

Li Xinchen obviously didn't mean to continue to entangle with Yu Yi, and rode away after joining Cheng Feng, keeping a distance from Yu Yi's army, and the Li Zi general in the army didn't know when it was erected, and he didn't mind telling Yu Yi the identity of his opponent.

"General, why don't we catch up, when Li Xinchen hasn't escaped just now, we can completely surround them again!" Yu Xi rode his horse to Yu Yi's side, with a bit of anger in his voice.

In the final analysis, Li Xinchen only had 400 people, and judging from the situation when they were fighting, they were not used to fighting immediately, otherwise they would not have fallen into the trap so easily, which is actually not difficult to understand. Nanchen has few horses, so the training of cavalry is even less and finer, and cavalry is the treasure of every army, and it is easy not to go into battle. And the concrete embodiment of this "few but fine" is naturally that Xiao Maha was able to easily tear through the blockade of the Northern Zhou army with twelve cavalry, and in history, when Wu Mingche had no way to retreat from Huaibei, it was also for Xiao Maha to withdraw with hundreds of the most elite cavalry in the army, not to mention Chen Qingzhi and his seven thousand white-robed troops.

Most of these soldiers under Li Xinchen's command have been trained to ride horses, as elite soldiers, they are naturally on horseback and on horseback, but even so, because most of the previous cases were in the Bashu Mountains on foot, so many people's riding skills have been rusty, and basically there is not much actual combat experience.

Therefore, when facing the experienced Yu Yi, he naturally suffered a loss. In Yu Xi's opinion, if all the soldiers and horses behind him were brought up just now, at least Li Xinchen could pay the loss of hundreds of people.

Yu Yi didn't get angry because of Yu Xi's disrespect, and said in a deep voice: "Li Xinchen only brought four hundred cavalry here, what is it for?" Why didn't he come back after he left? ”

After a pause, Yu Yi's expression became more solemn, and his gaze swept over the faces of the surrounding generals: "Why didn't we leave the river valley far before Li Xinchen knew our whereabouts?" ”

Yu Xi was stunned for a moment, he really had no way to answer these questions, in fact, it was not only him, but even Yu Yi himself did not explain these questions, unless it was because of ······ This in itself is a trap laid by Li Xinchen.

And Li Xinchen is here waiting for Yu Yi to take the bait.

"General, we can't move on." A partial general said hurriedly.

Yu Yi bowed slightly: "Retreat, let's go back to Yuntian." ”

Continue to move forward, everything is unknown, Yu Yi does not want to take risks, and he does not have the capital to take risks, if he buries these soldiers and horses on this snowfield, it will lead to the complete collapse of the entire Xiaoguan war, and the back road will be opened, and the threat to Chang'an will also be fatal.

And Yu Xi opened his mouth, but he didn't know what he should say, and before he could take the order in desperation, Li Xinchen's cavalry in the distance moved again, but this time they did not pounce on the Northern Zhou army, but directly divided the troops into two ways, bypassing from the left and right sides of the Northern Zhou army, clearly to cut off the road for the Northern Zhou army to retreat.

"Crossbowmen!" Yu Yi gave a decisive order, but Li Xinchen seemed to realize what he wanted to do, and the cavalry went straight away, and did not give the Northern Zhou crossbow a chance.

Suddenly, one after another eyes fell on Tsubasa's body. The road was chosen by Yu Yi, and when he was in a dilemma, he naturally had to come up with a reliable idea. Li Xinchen's cavalry was arranged in this way, obviously not planning to use these cavalry to deal with Yu Yi, but to drag Yu Yi to the predetermined battlefield.

"General, if you continue to move forward, you will find Liupan Mountain, Li Xinchen should be arranging troops at the foot of the mountain, driving us to attack the mountain." One general said in a deep voice, "Compared with the Jingshui River Valley, where many places have flat beachheads, the foothills of Liupan Mountain must be a more suitable battlefield." ”

Yu Yi sighed, there is no way to advance, there is no way to retreat, but he didn't expect that one of his decisions would eventually lead the army to a dead end!

And Yu Xi took two steps forward at this time: "General, if we retreat at this time, Li Xinchen will inevitably continue to harass us, we are not the opponent of the cavalry at all in the wasteland, and in the end, the army's spirit will collapse, and I am afraid that there are very few who can return to Yuntian." And if we continue to move forward at this time, we may be able to defeat Li Xinchen and win a glimmer of life. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Yu Yi frowned.

Yu Xi said in a deep voice: "General, think about it, how many soldiers and horses can Li Xinchen bring stability?" If the number is more than 1,000 people, then even if our scouts are suppressed, it is impossible not to notice it at all, it is very likely that the more than 400 cavalry that appeared in front of us are all the soldiers and horses he brought, and the rest are just some township soldiers recruited by the family, the rabble, even if there are more people, once we can defeat Li Xinchen and attack these township soldiers in this concentration, then these rabble will inevitably be in chaos, and it is still unknown who will win or lose at that time. ”

Yu Yi didn't speak for a while, and Yu Xi immediately said: "Li Xinchen is not in a hurry to drive us forward. Maybe for him, he still doesn't have confidence in whether he can defeat us at the foot of Liupan Mountain, but he is still sure that he can make us suffer heavy losses on the way back to Yuntian. ”

After a pause, Yu Xi said decisively: "General, it is already destined to be a difficult road backwards, and if you move forward, you may be able to find a glimmer of life, so your subordinates think that our army should move forward, if we can defeat Li Xinchen, then we can cross Liupan Mountain and go straight to stability!" In this way, killing two birds with one stone, you can also solve the current crisis of stability, and if you go backwards, it means that we have to abandon stability, in this case, then why did we have to get out of Xiaoguan in the first place?! ”

Yu Xi's words fell heavily, and everyone was stunned for a moment, after all, no one had the courage to speak to Yu Yi in this tone.

However, Yu Yi didn't look angry, but bowed slightly: "Pass the order, continue to march, the crossbowmen on the left and right wings remain vigilant, as long as Li Xinchen dares to move forward, there is no need to ask for instructions!" ”

"No!" Since the old general has already made a decision, the generals naturally have nothing to say. In this vast snowfield, with the opponent Li Xinchen, the experience of the old general is here, so they prefer to trust Yu Yi's command and judgment.

And Yu Yi gritted his teeth tightly and looked ahead, Li Xinchen's soldiers and horses had been completely spread out on the flanks, so looking forward from here, there was only the vast wasteland.

At this age, this should be the last battle of this life. If he wins, he can give His Majesty and Yang Jian a suitable explanation, if he fails······ Let's die here. Thinking of this, Yu Yi rode forward, and of course couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This man seems to be really old, and he can't even see it before the young people.
