After Zhang Liao gathered the war horse, he immediately retreated to Feng Yi to the left. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But he underestimated the importance of the Liangzhou people to war horses, underestimated the anger of Li Dao and Guo Yan, the two gathered the war horses in the city, and the next day they led the troops to pursue, 10,000 cavalry, 30,000 infantry, in addition to Jia Xu, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji also came, vowing to recover the nearly 20,000 war horses stolen by Zhang Liao.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao knew that a big battle was inevitable, so he immediately sent Xu Rong to lead his troops to drive the war horses back to Zuo Feng Yi, and the remaining 25,000 soldiers and horses formed a formation in the area of Lishan Mountain relying on the terrain to prepare for a big battle.

Li Dao and Guo Yan did not flinch, and the two did not hesitate and directly led the troops to attack.

At the beginning of this battle, it entered the most fierce state, Li Dao and Guo Yan attacked Zhang Liao and Lishan regardless of casualties, and the cavalry was difficult to use, so they attacked with infantry.

The madness of the people of Liangzhou was extremely terrifying, Zhang Liao took away their war horses, as if robbing their wives and children, and the offensive was even more fierce than when he attacked Chang'an a few days ago.

Because the terrain chosen by Zhang Liao was slightly narrow, it was impossible for tens of thousands of Liangzhou people to fight at the same time, so they divided into several batches, one group attacked for an hour, and then changed to another group, and there were Liangzhou people who continued to come from Chang'an.

In the face of the high-intensity onslaught of the Liangzhou people who were not afraid of death, there were also casualties on Zhang Liao's side.

Dian Wei's tiger battalion rushed the most fiercely, and several times they rushed into the enemy formation, killing them covered in blood, and they could hardly see their appearance.

Although Xu Huang, Zhang Yan, and the soldiers and horses recruited were in a tight formation, it was difficult to advance an inch, and the wounded soldiers were replaced in batches, and the medical team of the guards behind them was very busy.

Zuo Fengyi's Guo Jia, Xun You and Li Ru rushed to sit in the Chinese army and serve as Zhang Liao's staff officer.

Under the planning of the three top strategists, Xu Huang, Zhang Yan, Zhao Zhao, Wu Kuang, Han Ke, Mu Han, Wei Yuanjin, Guo Cheng and other 15,000 soldiers and horses as the Chinese army, fought in formation, stable and immovable, while Zhao Yun's cavalry and Dian Wei's elite infantry were used as mobile forces to attack vertically and horizontally.

The three major strategists observed the battlefield in the Lishan Heights, strategized, and sent Zhao Yun and Dian Wei at the most critical time.

Zhao Yun led the cavalry to attack the enemy's flank several times, and each time it was after a group of Liangzhou soldiers were tired, they launched a charge when they attacked in turn, and several charges, causing heavy casualties to the Liangzhou people, Zhao Yun killed more than ten enemy generals in a row with a spear.

Dian Wei, on the other hand, directly impacted the enemy formation, and whenever there was a flaw in the enemy formation, Dian Wei would take the tiger warriors to attack.

In addition, there are hundreds of blows from Shi A, several times with Dian Wei's attacks, killing enemy generals, almost rushing to the Chinese army, making Li Dao and Guo Bianshuai move back.

The battle lasted almost the whole day, and in the afternoon, Xu Rong's soldiers and horses rushed back from Zuo Fengyi to join the battlefield, but Li Dao and Guo Yan still did not retreat, and sent Fan Chou and Zhang Ji, who were slacking off in front of the battle, to resist Xu Rong.

Dusk, in the Chinese army, Zhang Liao frowned, he really didn't expect Li Dao and Guo Yan to be so strong, and he didn't expect the real combat effectiveness of the Liangzhou people to be so strong, compared to the Liangzhou soldiers, his own soldiers and horses are still a little uneven, strong as the tiger battalion, far more than the Liangzhou soldiers, Zhang Yan's broken army was brought from Biqiu Yi, it was the Danyang soldiers, Zhao Yun's Xiao cavalry battalion was also his own lineage, and the combat effectiveness was barely equivalent to the Liangzhou people, and the rest such as Xu Huang's selection of the front, the Ying Yang of the lead, and other Mu Han, The soldiers and horses led by Han Ke and others are much worse than those of Liangzhou, if it weren't for the fact that these generals all have the talent of generals and fight in a tight formation, the Chinese army is afraid that it will collapse.

And the most capable soldiers and horses, Dian Wei and Zhao Yun, have attacked several times today, and they are already tired and can't be relied on for a long time.

As for Xu Rong, most of the soldiers under his command were recruited from Liangzhou, although most of them were once led by Xu Rong, but after all, they were from Liangzhou, and it was difficult to guarantee that nothing would happen before the battle.

The battle has lasted all day, and the casualties of the Liangzhou soldiers should be more than 5,000, and there are thousands of their own men, this ratio is the result of their continuous rotation of the wounded, on the contrary, the Liangzhou soldiers almost do not care about life and death.

The casualties are five to one, which is very good, but after standing all day, his soldiers are extremely tired, and the early casualties have made him feel distressed, and if he continues to fight, the losses will increase several times, and the people of Liangzhou continue to have reinforcements from Chang'an.

In the Chinese army, Li Ru suggested: "My lord, you can transfer Zuo Fengyi's garrison to attack Chang'an, so that Li Dao and Guo Yan will definitely not transfer troops from Chang'an, and they will divide their troops to help." ”

Zhang Liao groaned, shook his head and said: "No, Zuo Fengyi is the foundation of our stay in Guanzhong, and there is no room for mistakes. ”

Li Ru stroked his beard and said: "Zuo Fengyi is important to the lord, but Chang'an is more important to Li Dao and Guo Yan, they will not abandon Chang'an and attack Zuo Fengyi." ”

Zhang Liao pondered for a moment and rejected this suggestion.

It is undeniable that Li Ru's suggestion is definitely a clever plan, but Zhang Liao can't afford to take this risk, at present, Xun Yu, Du Yi and other elites are in Zuo Fengyi, and there are so many people, it is the foundation of his people in Guanzhong, even if the battlefield is hard, Zuo Fengyi will never be allowed to lose.

Li Ru said again: "Perhaps, you can also make Wenhe ...... in Chang'an."

Zhang Liao hurriedly said: "No, Master's safety cannot be lost, if he is suspected and killed by Li Dao Guo Yan, then I will die and feel guilty for the rest of my life." ”

He knew that although Jia Xu's position was high, his power was only known to Li Dao, Guo Yan and other generals, but his influence in the Liangzhou soldiers was far inferior to Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, Li Ru's intention was obviously to let Jia Xu instigate a rebellion, but Zhang Liao did not dare to put Jia Xu in danger, in case he lost Jia Xu, even if he defeated Li Dao and Guo Yan, it would be completely worth the loss.

At this time, Guo Jia suggested on the side: "Today is already dusk, it is better to send two generals, Zhao Zilong and Xu Rong, to lead the cavalry to secretly detour, and attack Chang'an tomorrow, which can achieve miraculous results and make Li Dao and Guo Yan worry about the future." ”

Xun You said: "It can make people spread rumors that the rebels of Ma Teng and Han Sui in Liangzhou are going east, intending to attack Chang'an and snatch the Son of Heaven, and Li Dao and Guo Yan will return." ”

Li Ru said again: "It is also rumored that Lu Bu led his troops to rush back from Wuguan ......"

"Good!" Zhang Liao immediately clapped his head and said: "Just according to what the three military advisors said!" ”

After dark, the two sides made a truce, Li Dao and Guo Bi retreated twenty miles, backed by the bank of Bashui, relying on several Lifang camps, Li Dao ordered Guo Bi, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji to sit in the camp, and he himself rushed back to Chang'an to prevent the place of the Son of Heaven from changing.

That night, Zhang Liao, at the suggestion of Li Ru, sent two armies of cavalry of several hundred men to beat drums near the enemy camp, so that the enemy could not rest. Guo Yan attacked several times, hundreds of cavalry fled far away, Guo Yan retreated, and they continued to harass.

Guo Yan also sent people to harass him, and Zhang Liao only ordered a small number of soldiers to be on guard, and the rest were all rested.

On the second day, Li Wei rushed back from Chang'an, and despite the fatigue of the soldiers, he and Guo Yan sent troops to the east again to storm Zhang Liao.
