In the afternoon, Li Fengyun went to the front line to observe the enemy's situation.

The Xijing army began to attack in the direction of Michi at noon, and the Xijing Janissaries rushed to the front. The Xijing Praetorian Guard is the first main force under Wei Wensheng's account, and the absolute power used to make a final decision at the critical moment, which shows that Wei Wensheng is really anxious and desperately breaks through at any cost. At this moment, the Xijing army is only more than eight miles away from Michi City, close at hand, as long as it breaks through, it will basically be safe, unless Yang Xuangan still has a "back hand", and there is an ambush on the front line of Kunshan Mountain, otherwise the Xijing army will also flee victoriously, so if you don't fight hard at this time, when will you stay?

However, due to the narrow and steep terrain, and the effective defense of simple people, the Xijing army could neither devote all its strength at one time, nor could it attack vigorously and vigorously, but could only passively entangle with the alliance army, and they had to pay a considerable price for every trench they captured, every time they captured a horse rejection formation, and more importantly, the noblest time was consumed little by little in this "see-saw" type of hand-to-hand combat. The soldiers of Xijing are like trapped beasts in a cage, they can't use their strength, and they see themselves being played by their opponents between applause, and their inner grievances can be imagined, angry but helpless, almost crazy.

Li Fengyun stood on the hill closest to the battlefield and observed for a long time, and his mood was quite heavy.

Whether it is a favorable place between two mountains and a water, or a thick and sturdy defensive battle array, they are just lifeless "weapons", and if you want to make these weapons have "life" and wield the strongest combat effectiveness, you need brave warriors who are good at fighting. Li Fengyun put Zhen Baoche's Tiger Army and Guo Ming, Xiahou Zhe's first, second, fourth, and fifth armies of the alliance, nearly 20,000 soldiers, all deployed in this eight-mile-long defensive array, but Li Fengyun has no intention of losing both with the opponent, he only wants to consume the opponent and delay the opponent, so that as the alliance army continues to retreat, the soldiers in the front battle formation continue to withdraw into the rear battle array, the entire defense array will become more and more "thick", more and more solid, and the difficulty of the opponent's advance will also become greater and greater, each time a trench is captured, With each capture of a horse rejection array, they have to pay more and more costs. It's just that this is always hand-to-hand combat, and although the opponent has suffered heavy casualties, the alliance army can't take too much advantage.

"Ming Gong, as the food of the Xijing army becomes less and less, the breakthrough time is getting shorter and shorter, the casualties are getting bigger and bigger, and the distance from Michi is getting closer and closer, their offensive will become more and more fierce." Zhen Baoche pointed to the fierce battle in front of him, his brows were tightly locked, and he was worried, "If we continue to fight like this, our losses will be very large."

Li Fengyun nodded, "Think of more ways to reduce casualties as much as possible. We are already very lucky that we can successfully surround the opponent and control the battle situation, and whether we can completely annihilate the opponent depends not only on luck, but also on strength." Speaking of this, he looked at the several commanders around him, commanding the army, and said, "The power of the arrow array can be greater, even if it can't kill more enemies, it can effectively delay the enemy's attack. We have captured a lot of arrows outside the city, and you can shoot as many arrows as you like, and you don't have to worry about running out of arrows."

Zhen Baoche, Guo Ming and the others immediately ordered to mobilize more archers from the rear battle formation to enter the front battle.

After Li Fengyun gave a few more suggestions, he turned around and left, and said to Zhen Baoche and the others as he walked, "Zheng Yuanshou in Mianchi City has already beaten the drums of war, and it is estimated that he will soon go out of the city to attack, and we will have to fight on two fronts."

"He dares to go out of the city to attack?" Zhen Baoche sneered, "To go out of the city is to find death."

"What if he sacrificed his life and forgot to die, at any cost?" Li Fengyun quietly admonished, "Don't be careless and underestimate the enemy, let alone despise the opponent, once the boat capsizes in the gutter, it will be too late to regret it."

Zhen Baoche didn't think so, but he didn't dare to scoff at Li Fengyun in front of him.

"Ming Gong, from a certain point of view, Zheng Yuanshou is bluffing." Guo Ming followed behind Li Fengyun and said, "The war drums in Mianchi City are thundering, and the big horns are ringing for a long time, obviously wanting to pass on a message to Wei Wensheng, telling him that Mianchi City has not yet fallen, and once Wei Wensheng learns that Mianchi City is still under Zheng Yuanshou's control, his confidence will definitely increase greatly, and the breakthrough will be faster, which is very unfavorable to us."

Li Fengyun shook his hand, "Don't be lucky, the critical moment of the decisive battle has come, either you die or I live, Wei Wensheng has to work hard, Zheng Yuanshou has to work hard, and we also have to work hard. The next battle directly determined the outcome of this decisive battle, we withstood it, successfully blocked Wei Wensheng's breakthrough, we won, otherwise, the success fell short, and the previous achievements were lost."

Hearing this, Zhen Baoche and Guo Ming glanced at each other, and a trace of worry flashed in their eyes. Zhen Baoche said without thinking, "Duke Ming, whether we can stop Wei Wensheng's breakthrough, relying on our strength alone is far from enough, Yang Xuangan's side will inevitably attack with all his might, and we must firmly attract and contain a part of the Xijing army, otherwise even if we resist, the loss will be incalculable."

Guo Ming followed up and said, "Ming Gong, as long as the loss is beyond our tolerance, we will resolutely retreat. There are more than 20,000 elites in the Xijing army, and even if we and Yang Xuangan's army are combined, they do not have an absolute advantage, at most, they will surround them and trap them, and if they want to annihilate them completely, they will only have a chance until their food is exhausted, so if Yang Xuangan does not do his best, and even has the intention to kill people with a knife, borrow the power of the Xijing army to kill and injure us, and let the Xijing army attack us wildly, of course we have to retreat. In fact, we have won this decisive battle, as for whether to completely annihilate the enemy army or inflict heavy losses on the enemy army, for us it is just a difference in the size of the results, and the size of the results will have little impact on us, and it will have a great impact on Yang Xuangan, so this decisive battle Yang Xuangan should do whatever it takes, if he deliberately preserves his strength, he will definitely suffer the consequences in the end, and the responsibility for the Xijing army to break through is his Yang Xuangan's, and it has nothing to do with us."

LI Fengyun. [,！ Hearing this, he immediately stopped, turned to look at Zhen Baoche, Guo Ming and the others, and his expression was very strict.

"The purpose of entering the battlefield of the Eastern Capital by a certain thousand miles does not need to be repeated." Li Fengyun's tone was not high, and his tone was not stern, but in the ears of Zhen Baoche and others, he was extremely cold, "The news from Liyang is very bad, we have not looted enough food from Liyang Cang, and it will be very difficult for us to expand in Northern Xinjiang in the future, in this case, if Yang Xuangan is defeated prematurely, the Eastern Capital will be able to free up his hands to mobilize troops to encircle and suppress us, which directly endangers our survival."

"In the past two years, our team has grown stronger and stronger, and our reputation has become more and more famous, and we have already become the target of the Eastern Capital, and this is the reason why we took the opportunity of Yang Xuangan's mutiny to move to the northern frontier. If we want to achieve this goal, we must first gain a foothold in northern Xinjiang, and the premise of gaining a foothold in northern Xinjiang is that we must have a respite, otherwise, we will definitely disappear under the encirclement and interception of the Weifu army."

"Now we'd rather pay some price than the total annihilation in the future. You all understand the truth, but in the face of reality, you are always deceived by petty profits, and even do not hesitate to break your word for it."

Li Fengyun sighed and shook his head, "At all times, we must be firm in our beliefs, only in this way can we climb higher and go further.

Zhen Baoche, Guo Ming and the others bowed down to be taught, even if they had different ideas in their hearts, they didn't dare to say it publicly in front of Li Fengyun at this moment.

"Since we and Yang Xuangan are on the same battlefield, in the same boat, living and dying together, we must believe him, otherwise the outcome of this battle will be difficult to say

Li Fengyun sternly admonished and repeatedly instructed the heroes to focus on the overall situation, take the long-term interests first, focus on the future, and don't worry about the immediate interests, however, before he said this, he was slapped by Yang Xuangan and made his "nose blue and face swollen".

When Hu Shi rushed to the city of Michi, Li Fengyun happened to return from the front line. Hu Shitan first praised Li Fengyun, this time Shun lì surrounded the Xijing army, the alliance made great contributions, and then "euphemistically" conveyed Yang Xuangan's decision to reinforce Michi.

Hu Shitan was cautious and carefully considered every word, lest he anger Li Fengyun. Li Mi was also worried, after all, Yang Xuangan had just done too much, he had just surrounded the Xijing army, and it was still far from being completely annihilated, so he publicly expressed his extreme distrust of Li Fengyun and wanted to tear his face with Li Fengyun. Since you don't trust Li Fengyun, why do you want to cooperate with him? Why accept his decisive strategy? Li Mi really couldn't understand Yang Xuangan, and couldn't figure out what Yang Xuangan thought, and in the end he could only explain that the butt decided the head, and a powerful person like Yang Xuangan who was in a position of domination had indeed "different and extraordinary" in his thoughts and style.

Li Fengyun's first reaction was anger, he gave Yang Xuangan the greatest trust, but Yang Xuangan didn't appreciate it at all, and never trusted him from beginning to end, but this strategy is still good for the alliance and can reduce the loss of the alliance, so Li Fengyun held back and was not angry, but he was very disappointed, not only disappointed in Yang Xuangan himself, but also no longer had much hope for the outcome of this mutiny, and he even thought that his trip to the eastern capital might have achieved nothing, wasting time and energy in vain, which couldn't help but make him feel lost.

"A certain is in the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy on his belly and back, and Yue Gong reinforces in time, which not only solves an urgent need, but also ensures the victory of the decisive battle." Li Fengyun smiled and looked very calm, which made the nervous Hu Shitan and the worried Li Mi suddenly breathe a sigh of relief.

Perhaps, Yang Xuangan is right, Li Fengyun has retreated after encircling the Xijing army and ensuring the victory of the decisive battle, and Yang Xuangan's goal is to completely annihilate the Xijing army, in order to prevent accidents, he naturally wants to control the overall situation, and can no longer let Li Fengyun get stuck in his "throat".
