The battle situation outside Xuanwu City made Meng Zhixiang very angry, he didn't expect that when he was in a hurry to come, Li Renhan was unable to stabilize the battle situation and insisted until he arrived. ∈↗，

And only two hours! It's just these two hours that Meng Zhixiang's conspiracy came to naught, how can he not be angry?

Li Renhan held the most elite 30,000 soldiers and horses in Xichuan, besieging Xuanwu City for half a month and failing to conquer the city, which had made Meng Zhixiang very surprised and annoyed, although he did not show too many complaints about Li Renhan, but it was by no means dissatisfied-if he was not too disappointed, Meng Zhixiang would not have personally led troops to support at this time, not in Chengdu.

The Hundred Battle Army held out in the ruined Xuanwu City for half a month, which surprised Meng Zhixiang and made him realize that as long as he increased his weight a little, it would be enough to change the balance of Xuanwu City.

Not to mention that Li Renhan could suddenly attack Xuanwu City before Meng Zhixiang arrived, as long as he maintained his offensive against Xuanwu City, then Meng Zhixiang was confident that after he arrived, the hundred battle army in Xuanwu City would definitely collapse.

At that time, Xuanwu will be captured and the Hundred Battles Army will be destroyed, which will give Wang Shi a double heavy blow in terms of combat strength and morale. If this can be the case, as long as the news reaches Zizhou City, there is no need for Meng Zhixiang to lead the army to rush over, Li Congjing will have to lead the troops to retreat!

Otherwise, what awaits Li Congjing is the end of the defeat of the whole army.

Save Dongchuan, and it's done.

However, the sky was unsatisfactory, Meng Zhixiang did not expect that Li Congjing could rush to Xuanwu City one step earlier than him, and he never expected that Li Renhan could not hold on for even two hours.

Faced with such a big gap between premeditation and reality, Meng Zhixiang's heart can be imagined.

Once the Xichuan army is defeated in Xuanwu City, it can only lead the army back to the west of Longmen Mountain, and then Wang Shi will definitely chase and kill and rush to cross Longmen Mountain. What awaits Xichuan will be the consequence of Commander Wang's direct drive and the troops approaching Chengdu!

As for Dongchuan, Meng Zhixiang didn't have to think about it to know that once Xichuan was defeated in Xuanwu City and the Xichuan army retreated to Hanzhou, Li Shaobin would be destroyed immediately!

At that time, the so-called two rivers will no longer be two rivers.

There is no Xichuan in Dongchuan, and there is no strength to compete with Wang Shi.

And what awaits him Meng Zhixiang is nothing more than the end of a broken family and a dead body.

Therefore, Meng Zhixiang has no way out, and he must win this battle now.

Li Renhan, Zhao Tingyin, Zhang Zhiye and others heard that Meng Zhixiang arrived, and hurriedly drove their horses to greet them, and when they saw Meng Zhixiang, the three of them all got off their horses and knelt down, crying bitterly, "The last general and others have been entrusted by the marshal, and they can't overcome it for half a month to attack Xuanwu City, and now they are almost defeated, the crime cannot be punished, and there is no forgiveness for death, please punish the marshal!" ”

Meng Zhixiang looked coldly at the three generals who knelt down in front of the horse, his heart was like a knife, he did not lack the heart to kill decisively, and the hatred in his heart was monstrous, and he really wanted to cut these three sinners who almost ruined his great cause with a thousand knives.

Taking a deep breath, Meng Zhixiang felt that his ambition and eternal foundation had almost died at the hands of these people, and he couldn't wait to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

Meng Zhixiang, whose facial muscles twitched, the anger in his eyes only lasted for a moment, and the next moment he got off his horse, stepped forward to help Li Renhan and the three of them up, and looked up to the sky and sighed: "The three generals have fought bloody battles with the thief army for a long time for the big thing in Xichuan, how can the commander not know the hardships in this?" The current situation is like this, it is the death of God and my Meng Zhixiang, it is really a crime of non-war, why should the three generals blame themselves too much? ”

Meng Zhixiang's expression was sad, and the figure of looking up at the sky was doubly helpless, Li Renhan, Zhao Tingyin, and Zhang Zhiye saw Meng Zhixiang's demeanor, and listened to the words in his mouth, and at the same time, they were ashamed and embarrassed, and at the same time, they wanted to die headlonging.

"Dashuai!" The three of them shouted bitterly, they are all Meng Zhixiang's henchmen, they have received Meng Zhixiang's favor on weekdays, in front of the prominent people in Xichuan, they have long regarded Meng Zhixiang as the main person, and now because of their own incompetence and sins, Meng Zhixiang is so sad and discouraged, but the other party still doesn't blame them, as long as they are a person with a conscience, they will want to kill back to the battlefield immediately.

Li Renhan said with tears in his eyes: "The marshal is not like this, the marshal is in charge of Xichuan, it is the destiny of heaven, don't be presumptuous!" At present, although the offensive of the thief army is fierce, our army has not been completely defeated, and now the marshal personally leads the army to help, the strength of our army has increased greatly, and the morale of the three armies is invigorated. ”

After that, he asked for his life loudly: "Dashuai, please wait for an opportunity for General Rong to wait for me to defeat the thief army in front of me for Dashuai, so as to atone for the sins!" ”

Zhao Tingyin and Zhang Zhiye kowtowed at the same time, "Please let me wait for the killer to go back!" ”

Only then did Meng Zhixiang retract his sad gaze looking at the gray sky, looked at the three generals in front of him, and said tentatively: "Three generals, the current battle situation is unfavorable, the thief army is strong, and the counterattack must be difficult, so are you really willing to turn back and fight again?" ”

After that, he added: "With the meaning of this handsome, it is better to go back to Xichuan and make a long-term plan"

"I'm willing to fight again, shame before the snow, please be handsome!" Li Renhan and the others were red-faced and red-eared, and they vied with each other to raise their voices.

Seeing that the morale was available, Meng Zhixiang no longer tested the will of Li Renhan and the others to fight, and hurriedly helped the three of them up again, and turned his eyes to cheer up: "Okay, good!" This commander has all the generals and soldiers fighting to the death, why worry about the thief army not breaking? Ladies and gentlemen, the Li thief is right in front of you, and let you and I work with one heart and one mind, and then fight with the three lilies! Success or failure in this move, if the battle is won, then the two rivers will be preserved from then on, and you and I will enjoy Xichuan in the future! If you can't win the battle, you and I will bury our bones here, and we will not live up to the feeling of fighting! ”

"The three generals will go to reorganize the army, and the marshal will personally beat the drums for you!" After saying that, Meng Zhixiang made battlefield arrangements, and Li Renhan and the other three generals listened to it, and they all agreed with a bang, and turned around and got on their horses and rushed to the battlefield

Of course, Guo Wei has the heart to fight, whether he was the chief general of the gentleman earlier, or now he is the defense envoy of Wanzhou, it is his duty to charge into battle, not to mention that the current war situation is in my favor, even if the war is stalemate, there should be an indomitable thought.

"Don't worry, but there is a military order, and a certain person should take the head of Meng Lao Thief for the marshal!" Guo Wei said proudly.

"General Guo is really the courage of our army!" Li Congjing laughed, laughed, and said: "The thief army is coming west, the formation has not yet been completed, this is an opportunity for our army, if it calmly arranges the troops, gathers the defeated soldiers, and stabilizes the position, then this battle will add a lot of difficulties." General Guo trained the army, has always been deep in the method of raiding, now I give you 5,000 fine horses, you should know what to do? ”

"Go around the two flanks, go straight behind the enemy, disturb their formation, mess up their formation, and make it impossible for them to gather into a formation!" Of course, Guo Wei knew Li Congjing's intentions.

"Very good, Ben Shuai will order the infantry army to attack the main force of the thief army and put pressure on it head-on!" Li Congjing bowed slightly.

"The last will go!" Guo Wei hugged his fist with a spear, pulled out his horse and left.

Looking at Guo Wei's distant back and the Xichuan army in front of him, Li Congjing's gaze gradually became cold.

Meng Zhixiang brought troops to help, Li Congjing naturally would not give him the opportunity to gather troops, and took advantage of the chaos to make him collapse, which is the same reason as taking advantage of people's illness to kill people.

The two wings of the elite cavalry are roundabout, and the main force of the infantry army attacks head-on, which is a very common tactic. Commonly used, often means useful, if the main force attacks like a wolf driving sheep, the fine cavalry can make the enemy's position unstable, and the battlefield situation will sooner or later become an inverted bead curtain.

Just as Li Congjing said before, so far in the war, the competition is the real combat strength of the two armies, and it is a contest in which the brave win when they meet on a narrow road.

Li Congjing glanced left and right, within a radius of 100 steps, there were almost no groups of Xichuan soldiers, 100 steps away, the forbidden army array was pressing the Xichuan army array, and in front of Meng Zhixiang's failure to pull back the game, the Xichuan army could only be pressed and beaten by the forbidden army.

The forbidden army that entered the Xichuan army formation marched forward. On the other hand, after being torn apart by the forbidden army, the soldiers of Xichuan either insisted on fighting until they were killed and crushed, or they could only retreat, and once a soldier in the army formation turned around and retreated, the soldiers in front and behind the army formation would collide with each other, causing the entire formation to collapse.

When this happens, the military formation is abandoned. If the army formation separated by a distance behind this army formation can stabilize the position and not be chaotic, the defeated soldiers will bypass this army formation and reorganize the formation in the rear, so that they can fight again.

And once there are too many defeated soldiers and military formations, the scene will be out of control, and no matter how strict the military formation behind is, it will not be able to play a role in stabilizing the position, and the defeated soldiers will panic and attack their own military formation, and finally flee together with the military formation in the rear.

At this point, all the military formations were scattered, and all the soldiers fled, and the so-called inverted bead curtain was formed.

At that point, it will be a one-sided slaughter of the attacking side against the defeated side.

What Li Congjing wants to achieve is this effect.

The elite cavalry led by Guo Wei was to attack the rear army formation of the Xichuan army, which was still stable, and strive to achieve the effect of making its position unstable and even turbulent, so that the army formation in front of it collapsed, and when the soldiers fled, they no longer had the role of buffer, but could only be coerced to flee.

The battle to burn down the Xichuan camp is still going on, and this matter is not too difficult, without too many troops, but the effect that can be achieved is obvious.

Li Congjing drove his horse out of the battlefield outside the city, galloped into the Xuanwu City, and then climbed the city tower to look down on the entire battlefield.

As his figure stabilized in the city tower, the command and issuing organs of the army also moved to the front of the city tower accordingly. The command flag occupies a high place, the herald is on standby under the city tower, the horn and the golden gong are in place, and the war drums are erected in a row on the city wall.

The main battlefield was outside the city wall on the west side of Xuanwu City.

The forbidden army that attacked the Xichuan army outside the north and south walls had already penetrated the Xichuan army formation there.

The Xichuan Army outside the western city wall, in order to avoid being attacked on both sides, had already taken the initiative to shrink the battle line and retreat under the order of Meng Zhixiang long before this, giving up a large area of open space, and at the same time forming a formation to consolidate itself, gain time to rearrange the battle formation, and collect the defeated troops who retreated from the north and south.

Guo Wei's 5,000 elite cavalry has been divided into two units, attacking from both flanks, the forbidden army in the north and south converged outside the west city wall, and the two formations merged into one, under the order of Li Congjing, every second rushed to the Xichuan army formation.
