Chapter 569: Five Thousand Defeated Eighty Thousand
Li Xin led the army to retreat slowly, but in Shi Yiqian's eyes, it seemed that he knew that Murong Wen was coming to support him, so he was scared and wanted to escape. In the eyes of any enemy army, Li Xin is a big fish, and he can't catch it no matter how much he catches it. At this time, he finally appeared in front of his eyes, and he was still in an absolute weakness, so naturally he couldn't let him run away easily!
Therefore, Shi Yiqian sent people to urge Murong Wen to arrive as soon as possible, and he also chased after him with a large army.
Of course, he was also afraid that this was Li Xin's trick, so he didn't dare to directly order the army to kill him. The two sides of the Tang Dynasty retreated and advanced, as if they had a supreme tacit understanding, and finally retreated to the place Li Xin expected and stopped.
And after Murong Wen heard that Li Xin might have run away, he immediately urged the army to speed up, and finally arrived when Li Xin and the others stopped. At this point, on the east bank of the Hunhe River, at the southern foot of Zhongshan Mountain, the two sides once again confronted each other.
At this time, the Daiyan coalition army had an absolute superior strength of nearly 80,000 troops, while Li Xin's side only had 5,000 flying dragon riders.
At this time, Zhang Oyster and they should have already received military orders, but the question is where can the scattered troops be gathered so quickly, let alone rush here to converge.
And Deng Qiang, who was attacking Shengle City in the north, Li Xin did not plan to touch him. After all, if Deng Qiang came over, the enemy army in Shengle City would be killed again, and his side would definitely be attacked by the enemy.
Although there were only 5,000 people on his side, Li Xin was not afraid at all. At least, after he appeared here, the Dai Yan coalition army was completely contained.
"There are many enemy troops, and I am afraid that there will be a hard battle today! You've been training for years, aren't you just here today? The purpose of the existence of the Flying Dragon Rider is not to let you bully the few, let alone let you defeat the weak with the strong! This king created the Flying Dragon Rider in order to win more with less, and defeat the strong with the weak! Today's battle is a test for you, let this king see whether the training of the Wyvern over the years is worth it! Can you become the glory of my Datang! Li Xin glanced back at the soldiers behind him, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice.
In the current war, it is necessary to boost morale, especially in such a situation where the two sides are very different in strength.
He didn't plan to wait for Zhang and the others to arrive before going to war, and in fact, it was impossible for the enemy to wait for his own reinforcements to arrive. After all, it seems that this is the best time to attack Li Xin at this time.
Rather than doing this, it is better to take the initiative to attack while the enemy forces have just converged, and it is when the soldiers are not familiar with it and the run-in has not been completed. In this way, it can work wonders even more.
After listening to Li Xin's words, although none of the soldiers of the Flying Dragon Rider made a sound, Li Xin could see the burning battle intent in those eyes. No one will refuse glory, and no one will not want to be remembered and recognized by others.
For the soldiers of the Wyvern, although there had already been a big battle before, the situation was different from this time after all. This battle will truly become the first battle that the Flying Dragoon will face alone, and it will also be the first battle in which many soldiers want to fully exert their strength in front of Li Xin.
"This battle! I am with you! Nodding slightly, Li Xin finally said.
"Kill!" Immediately, Li Xin turned the horse's head, and after a roar, he took the lead and killed him.
"Kill!" All the fighting intent of the Wyvern Knights gathered together at this moment, and only this one voice was formed.
On the opposite side, the Yan Dynasty coalition army, which was about three miles away from Li Xin, was still busy adjusting the deployment at this time because of its large number of troops.
Finally put the armies of both sides in order, Shi Yiqian was about to discuss the specific attack plan with Murong Wen when he heard a burst of angry shouts. Then, he saw Li Xin leading the army towards his side.
"This.... Could it be that Li Xin is crazy? Can't he see that our forces are far superior to him? Could it be that with his 5,000 men alone, he can't defeat us? Seeing this scene, Shi Yiqian couldn't help but be surprised.
"No matter what he thinks, since the other party has already rushed over now, should we still refuse to fight? Since he himself is going to die, then why should we be polite! Ordered the army to attack, capture Li Xinzhi alive, seal the marquis, and reward 10,000 taels of gold! "Murong Wen doesn't care so much, since Li Xin has been killed, of course he can't show weakness.
So, under his orders, the Yan army launched a counterattack first. After Shi Yiqian saw this scene, he had no other way, so he had to order the Dai army to attack as well. After all, if the Yan army attacked alone, but he was watching from the side, he couldn't say that the Yan army would really be defeated.
After all, Li Xin's 5,000 cavalry troops were not much, but everyone could see that they were mounted cavalry. Not to mention 5,000 of this thing, even the power of 500 people is extraordinary.
Shi Yiqian was also envious, after all, if he had so many mounted cavalry, where would he still need to form an alliance with Yan State!
Soon, the two sides fought on the banks of the Hunhe River. In this battle, Li Xin took the lead in the charge, which can be said to have played a very good role. He arranged the entire Wyvern in an array of arrows, and he himself was the sharpest arrow.
Under his leadership, the entire Wyvern rode through the enemy army like an invincible arrow. Any enemy army that dared to stand in their way, whether it was foot soldiers or cavalry, was trampled to powder.
Due to the large number of enemy troops, the Wyvernhorse was quickly encircled by the enemy army. Looking down from the air, you can see that among the various colors, there is a fiery red color that is constantly moving.
could have surrounded Li Xin, whether it was for Shi Yiqian or Murong Wen, it was a thing worth mentioning. But when they were fighting on a high place, there was no joy on their faces.
"Li Hantang's ability is really worthy of his reputation! There are only 5,000 soldiers and horses, but they are used like 50,000 troops. The whole army and horses are in his hands, like an arm and a finger, pointing and fighting! It is our great fortune to be an enemy of such an enemy, and it is also our misfortune! After seeing it, Shi Yiqian sighed.
"He's just taking advantage of his armor! No matter how powerful he is, can he still be as powerful as Ran Min back then? Ran Min died at the hands of my Dayan, how can I talk about a Li Xin! Today, the king will take him down! Hearing this, Murong Wen couldn't help frowning and said disdainfully.
Shi Yiqian glanced at the young and vigorous Great Yan Belt King beside him, and shook his head secretly in his heart, but he didn't say anything more.
Everyone knows that Li Xin and Ran Min are completely different people. Ran Min is brave, but he can only become a fierce general, while Li Xin is not, not only brave, but also resourceful, which is a role of both civil and military.
Putting these aside, it was Murong Ke, the king of Taiyuan, who captured Ran Min back then, and it was not him Murong Wen, how could it be compared with today's situation.
In the midst of the layers of encirclement, Li Xin led the soldiers of the Flying Dragoon to rush forward bravely, ignoring the layers of encirclement of the enemy army as if they were waiting for leisure.
He led the army to fight all the way from the south to the north, and then after cutting through the encirclement of the enemy, he adjusted the formation and killed again. As Shi Yiqian described, the whole army and horses were like a soft whip in his hands, and he could hit wherever he wanted.
Under the impact of the Wyvern, the enemy's formation was torn to pieces.
Especially at the junction of the Yan Dynasty coalition forces, the two armies, which originally lacked tacit understanding, were forcibly put together at this time, not only could not exert their original strength, but even their original strength was weakened.
The battlefield can be described as chaos, and the soldiers of the Yan Dynasty, who originally thought that they had a chance to win, only then did they find that the situation was completely different from what they thought. It seems that he didn't surround Li Xin and them, but put a fierce beast in a cage.
What's not good is that while closing the beast, he also locked himself in.
Although there are a large number of people on his side, they can't unite to deal with the Tang army at all. Especially after being killed for a while, many people were already frightened by the brave attack of the Tang army, and they collapsed without a fight.
The situation on the battlefield was slowly reversing, and the situation that was originally favorable to the Yan Dynasty coalition army began to slide in the direction that was unfavorable to them. Even if Murong Wen was so anxious that he jumped to his feet and kept urging the soldiers to step forward to attack, he still couldn't stop Li Xin and them.
After an hour of fighting, the Yan Dynasty coalition forces suffered heavy casualties. The defeated soldiers, who had been finally collected by Shi Yiqian, completely dissipated the morale that had been condensed with great difficulty after this wave of blows from Li Xin.
The Yan Dynasty coalition army collapsed, and a large number of soldiers fled in a panic. Even Shi Yiqian and Murong Wen, seeing that the defeat was really irretrievable, had to retreat in the direction of Shenhepi.
At this moment, Zhang Hao led an army of 20,000 and finally arrived on the battlefield.
Since receiving the military order and knowing the situation Li Xin was facing, Zhang Hao hurriedly gathered the army and rushed over all the way.
When he was on the road, he was still thinking that if he went late and His Royal Highness Tang had an accident, I was afraid that he would be unable to atone for his sins even if he died. finally heard that Li Xin was safe and won a big victory, and his heart finally let go of a lot.
Dismounted a hundred meters away from Li Xin, he hurriedly ran to Li Xin, and after confirming that he was really fine, he fell to his knees with a thud and said, "The last general is too late to save the car, please punish Your Highness!" ”
Behind him, the generals who arrived with him all knelt on the ground. They're scared too! If something goes wrong with Li Xinzhen, he can't explain himself!
