Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Fall (I)

Ever since Huangfu Song led the army to confront the Xiliang army, he has been under great pressure from his subordinates to ask for battle. In particular, Wu Kuang, the military commander of the Northern Army, came to him every day to ask for a decisive battle with the Western Liang Army, which made Huangfu Song upset, so he had to put on the majesty of Shangguan and ordered Wu Kuang not to act rashly.

Looking at Wu Kuang who was walking away, Huangfu Song sighed helplessly. In fact, he also understands the idea of the general colonel of the Northern Army at this time, now that Hedong County is lost, the Xiliang Army is already a sheep waiting to be slaughtered, and the state army is about to go south to encircle the imperial court, and the northern army, as a strong army of the Han Dynasty with a long history, has not made any achievements in this battle, the first half has let the Xiyuan Army out of the limelight, if the second half of the state army comes out on top, then they can only be reduced to the role of soy sauce, this result is something that makes this strong army in the world difficult to accept.

In fact, Huangfu Song also wanted to fight a decisive battle with the Xiliang army immediately to avenge the defeat of the previous army, but Liu Wei had already ordered when he started the army, and he could only let go of the decisive battle when the dark chess he buried in the Xiliang army started, so Huangfu Song had to force the restless battle heart of the soldiers and wait patiently.

To be honest, after leading the army for so many years, it is the first time that Huangfu Song has met a person as careful as Liu Wei.

In war, how can there be immortals in the danger of war, but Liu Wei attaches great importance to this. For him, the life of every soldier is particularly precious, and it is not easy for the country to train an excellent soldier, and the training, salary, and even the pension after death are all a lot of money, so Liu Wei not only set up a military medical system in the army, but also tried his best to save lives and reduce casualties. Moreover, before the battle, they tried their best to sow discord, sowing discord if they could sow discord, digging pits and ambushing those who could dig pits and ambushes, and fighting with human lives was always the last resort.

But fortunately, now Huangfu Song still got the news of the start of the dark chess in the Xiliang Army, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. After arranging according to Liu Wei's prior instructions, he immediately ordered the whole army to gather the barracks tents in the school.

The military meeting suddenly held made everyone particularly stunned, but Huangfu Song did not foreshadow too much, and said some words to motivate the soldiers, directly saying that the Xiliang army was going to have internal strife tonight, and it was a good time for the imperial court to quell the rebellion, and the soldiers of the whole army could prepare to fight to the death with the Xiliang rebels.

Although some of the captains who didn't know about Liu Wei's ambush of dark chess wondered whether their commander Huangfu Song had learned the Yellow Turban Army's Zhang Jiao's "Taiping Technique", otherwise how could they have predicted in advance that the Xiliang Army would have infighting. But Huang Fu Song's words really lifted everyone's spirits.

The Xiliang army was already struggling at this time, and now there was going to be infighting, and it would not be too difficult for the imperial court to fight with it again. At this time, it was the opportunity to beat the water dogs, and all the generals and officers were grinding their fists, ready to grab this ready-made big bargain.

Sima Wu Kuang of the Northern Army took the lead in asking for battle: "The last general is willing to fight a decisive battle with the rebels for the vanguard." ”

As soon as Wu Kuang spoke, the others fell silent.

As soon as he came, Wu Kuang had already greeted the other generals in advance, hoping that the northern army would attack first in this decisive battle; Second, people like Jiang Qi, the general of Xiyuan Zhonglang, who are qualified to compete with him, are unwilling to speak out.

There is no other reason, this time the counterinsurgency battle of the Xiyuan Army first ran a long distance, relieved the siege of Chang'an in the first battle, and then went south to defeat the strong army and cut off the rebels' wings. This successive achievements are enough for Jiang Qi and his Xiyuan Army to become famous all over the world, and the reward from Liu Wei, the son of heaven, will definitely not be less. Although the credit for defeating the rebels is great, it is too sharp for the Xiyuan Army and Jiang Qi, who have already made great achievements.

Rigid and easy to fold, soft and eternal. The show wood will be destroyed by the wind in the forest. Jiang Qi naturally understands this truth. His Xiyuan Army belongs to the troops of Liu Wei, the son of heaven, and if he wants to make contributions, he is afraid that there will be opportunities in the future, and there is no need to compete with the Northern Army at this time, but it will ruin the harmony in the imperial army.

Therefore, Jiang Qi did not say a word on the side, and gave up the position of vanguard to the Northern Army. And Wu Kuang is also a person who knows things, and he gave Jiang Qi a grateful look at his courtesy, Jiang Qi only nodded slightly and returned a simple smile.

This kind of character of knowing how to advance and retreat and being good at dealing with the world made Jiang Qi not only become an excellent military strategist in the future, but also shine in the political arena of the ever-changing Guangxi Empire in the future, making himself grow from a small chief who was originally unknown to a famous general who was on a par with the three heroes of the world. And he is the only one of the four who is alone and the only one who has achieved fruit.

Seeing that the other generals were speechless, Huangfu Song, who also liked the Northern Army in his heart, issued a military order: ordered the Northern Army to be the vanguard and directly attack the rebel camp, and after the Xiyuan Army merged, it would respond at any time. Ordered the whole army to fight, set off at the right time, and attacked the enemy camp at night when he heard that the rebel camp was in chaos!

**********

Li Dao, who wanted to sneak attack Guo Yan at night, didn't expect Guo Yan to be prepared, looking at the soldiers surrounding him, Li Dao understood that this time he was afraid of more than lucky.

Guo Yan appeared in front of Li Dao under the protection of a large number of soldiers, and looked at him with a sneer.

Li Dao was furious and scolded: "How dare a traitor do this? ”

Guo Yan also said angrily: "Your treachery is the real traitor!" ”

When the brave man met on the narrow road, Li Dao didn't say anything more, and urged the horse to lead a thousand elite horsemen to go straight to Guo Yan.

Li Wei thought very clearly, although he was surrounded by Guo Yan's ambushed army at this time, after all, he still had a thousand cavalry, and the peripheral army was not very far away. As long as he persists for a period of time, when the army comes to help, he can still solve Guo Yan, a traitor.

Li Daozhen deserved to be an excellent military general, brave in battle, leading a thousand elite cavalry under his command to attack left and right surrounded by regiments, Guo Yanjun was helpless for a while.

However, Li Dao persisted for a long time, but he never saw the arrival of reinforcements, and he couldn't help but panic, and a huge question arose in his heart: What's going on?

Li Li, who was leading the army outside to respond to Li Dao, also raised such a question at the same time. When there was chaos in Guo Yan's camp, he thought that his uncle Li Dao had already succeeded, but when he saw that the chaos lasted for a long time, he had a premonition that something was wrong. Hurriedly ordered the whole army to march and attack Guo Yan's camp to rescue Li Wei.

However, before the army could set off, the army of the imperial court suddenly appeared like a divine soldier descending from heaven.

He was really afraid of something, and Li Li couldn't care about Li Dao at this time, so he urgently ordered the soldiers to meet the enemy.

However, the soldiers of Xiliang, who had long been discouraged, had no intention of fighting at all, and they were defeated at the slightest contact with the imperial army that was slaughtered like wolves and tigers. And Li Li did not have the prestige and control that Li Dao had in the army, and he couldn't restrain the army, so he had to flee in the chaos.

However, he didn't run far, a red-faced, long-bearded, and armed general with a big knife rode a Dawan BMW under his crotch, and the speed was extremely fast, and he caught up with him in an instant.

Li Li was also quite powerful in the Xiliang army, and he didn't pay attention to the general who caught up at all, so he picked up his spear and turned around and stabbed at the other party.

The red-faced general just ducked sideways, dodging the spear, and then picked up his broadsword and slashed horizontally.

What a quick knife technique! Li Li was only surprised for a moment, and then his eyes went dark, and the head rolled off the horse.

The corpse rode on a horse for more than ten steps before it fell to the ground. Another black-faced general saw that the red-faced general took Li Lizhi's head as soon as he joined forces, and rode over and laughed: "Congratulations to the second brother for killing this thief and making military achievements." ”

The red-faced general twisted his long beard lightly, glanced at the head tied around the waist of a black-faced general, and asked, "Yide, who is this?" ”

The black-faced general replied, "I heard that it is Li Wei's nephew Hu Feng." I thought he was a person with strong martial arts, and I was ready to fight with him for a hundred rounds, but I didn't expect to be stabbed under the horse by me within three moves, and it was really an embroidered pillow that didn't work! ”

The red-faced general is Guan Yuguan's second master, and the black-faced one is the third master Zhang Fei, who led the two battalions of Yueqi and Shooting Sound as the vanguard of the Northern Army, and took the lead in attacking the camp of the Xiliang Army. The two are brave and unparalleled, and they are naturally like bamboos along the way.

Guan Yu saw that Zhang Fei was killing alone, and his soldiers and horses were scattered in disorder, so he twisted his beard and persuaded: "The war is not peaceful, Yide must not be careless, hurry up and gather his army to chase and kill the enemy." ”

Zhang Fei found that there were no soldiers around him, and he was the only one left, so he smiled embarrassedly: "These bastards are more than one another, which is the soldier brought out by me Zhang Fei, and even his own commander doesn't keep up, and he should be rewarded with a whip when he goes back." ”

Guan Yu said in his heart, obviously you didn't care about the soldiers, just trying to kill yourself, and you relied on others? I had to smile helplessly: "Yi Demo wants to mess around, hurry up and meet the enemy." ”

After all, Zhang Fei was also a person who knew the importance of the battlefield, so he turned around and gathered his soldiers and horses, and joined the other soldiers and horses of the Northern Army who entered the camp to pursue and suppress the remnants of the enemy.

At this time, Li Dao's camp had been completely lost, and the soldiers fled for their lives, and no one met the enemy. The military officer Song Guo and the school captain Zhang Chong saw that the general trend had gone, so they led the rest of the troops to surrender.

Li Dao, who was in Guo Yan's camp, didn't know that his army had changed so much, but after holding on for so long and still not waiting for the arrival of reinforcements, Li Dao already felt faintly bad in his heart.

Although the 1,000 cavalry under his command are brave and good at fighting, but after all, Guo Yan's soldiers are many and powerful, as the so-called two fists are difficult to defeat with four hands, and the heroes can't stand the group fight, Li Wei is depressed to find that his soldiers are gradually getting fewer and fewer, while the enemy army is fighting more and more.

On the other hand, this battle Guo Wei also fought extremely hard, Li Dao really deserved to be one of the best generals in the Xiliang Army, and Li Daojun, who was forced into a desperate situation, burst out all the potential in his body. Guo Yan has always regarded himself as equal to Li Dao's ability, but he trapped Li Dao here with his intention or not, and Li Dao still couldn't gain the upper hand in the face of the trapped beast.

The two armies were in a stalemate, and Li Dao suddenly found that there was a great chaos outside the encirclement, and an army broke in.

The leader of the army is Zhang Ji, Li Ji was overjoyed when he saw it, and finally looked forward to the reinforcements, Li Ji excitedly shouted to Zhang Ji: "Brother Zhang, come and help me!" ”

Surprisingly, Guo Yan also shouted in the same way: "Brother Zhang, come and help me!" ”

Li Wei was stunned. What's going on? Li Dao looked at Guo Yan suspiciously, but the other party gave him a smug smile.

Guo Yan did have a reason for him to be proud, because the news of Li Ji's sneak attack at night was revealed to him by Zhang Ji.

Guo Ji trusts Zhang Ji more than Li Dao, and in his heart, Zhang Ji is a "class brother" who is suppressed and persecuted by Li Dao like him, and everyone has a common reason to hate Li Dao. Therefore, Guo Yan was convinced of what Zhang Ji said, "Serve yourself as the master, kill Li Dao to avenge his nephew Zhang Xiu". He even began to fantasize that he could replace Li Dao and negotiate with the imperial court to become the lord of Liangzhou.

However, Guo Yan's smug smile did not last long, and Zhang Ji's words in front of them completely gave Li Ji and Guo Yan a head start!

"Under the edict of the Son of Heaven, I have come to arrest the thief Li Dao Guo Yan!"
