Chapter 543: Impatient
Yang Xuanting fell into the siege of the Xijing army and was frantically besieged and killed.
Wei Wensheng personally supervised the battle, Wu Benlang generals Dou Luxian, Hu Si Wanshou, Cui Shi, Wu Yalang generals Sun Wuao and Guo Zhen, the five generals took the lead, and each led the headquarters to sacrifice their lives to fight and fight bloodily.
Yang Xuanting thought very highly of himself, was too light on the enemy, defenseless, and was caught off guard by the Xijing army, and what was even stricter was that the five or six thousand guards who fell into the trap with him rushed too fast and too excited, and the formation was chaotic unconsciously, and after the siege, they had no time to switch from attack to defense, and could only watch their own battle formation instantly be shattered by the opponent, and quickly divided and surrounded by the opponent, and then all they saw in front of them were enemy troops, one by one, screaming and roaring madly, swords, guns and arrows roaring, In desperation, they fought separately, but at this time they were like fish on a chopping board, and they could only be slaughtered by their opponents.
Soon, Pang Yu, the general of the prison gate, led the army to kill, and the siege and annihilation of the Xijing army was faster.
Pang Yu began to carry out Wei Wensheng's order yesterday, taking advantage of the opportunity of the government regiment taking turns to cut down a large number of trees, and then fill these trees with the hard-earned trenches and horse rejection arrays, and only when the time comes, they will set fire to them, and use the sky-high fire to block the attack of the rebels in the direction of Michi, so as to win enough time for the army to evacuate from the mountain.
Now Pang Yu has lit the trenches and horse rejection arrays that stretch for more than two miles, and the fire is more and more vigorous, and quickly rolls up the river valleys and mountains and forests on both sides of the avenue, which makes the rebels in the direction of Michi panic, while looking at the fire and sighing, while preparing to retreat, once the wind direction changes, the roaring "fire dragon" rushes towards Michi, they can only retreat, so that it is impossible for the rebels in the direction of Michi to rush over in a short period of time, so the Xijing army can concentrate all its strength to encircle and annihilate this force lured by them." trap", and the total annihilation of this rebel army will definitely deal a heavy blow to Yang Xuangan, forcing him to suspend the attack. Yang Xuangan suspended the attack, and the Xijing army was able to calmly go up the mountain and evacuate, and there was enough time to escape from the pursuit of the rebels and return to Shaancheng safely.
Yang Xuanting paid the price for his frivolity, but he did not give up, let alone despair, he was still full of confidence, and the officers under his command also thought that this was the last blow of the Xijing people in a desperate situation, as long as they survived, victory was within reach, so after the initial panic and anger, they quickly calmed down, first formed a formation to defend themselves, and then under the guidance of the flying Shuai Qi, they attacked and advanced in the direction where the Shuai Qi was located.
The battlefield is like a game of chess, you divide and surround me, and in the same way, you are also in my division and encirclement, before the battle situation is not one-sided, the two sides are actually a melee, and the victory is not divided, so when Yang Xuanting ordered the guards to raise their handsome flags high, when his subordinates who were divided and surrounded saw the direction of progress, when the thunderous drums and trumpets and the faintly audible sound of fierce fighting came from the direction of Xiaoxin'ancheng, the battle situation began to be reversed by them little by little, Under the support of the tenacious will to survive and the belief in victory, and under the encouragement of the main army that was bravely attacking not far away, the morale of the soldiers was high again, and one by one they stared at the blood-red eyeballs, opened their bloody fangs, like crazy beasts, roared and pounced, fighting for their lives, so the battle entered a white heat, and the scene was extremely tragic.
Yang Xuanting's handsome banner became the most conspicuous symbol on the battlefield and the primary target of the Xijing army.
Wei Wensheng ordered, Wu Benlang general Dou Luxian must destroy the nearest rebel handsome banner in the shortest possible time, otherwise this battle is very likely to be "turned over" by the rebels, although Pang Yu blocked the rebels in the direction of Michi with a skyrocketing fire, but there are still tens of thousands of rebel main forces in the direction of Xiaoxin'ancheng, once they can't encircle and annihilate this besieged rebel army in the shortest possible time, then the tens of thousands of rebel main forces in the direction of Xiaoxin'ancheng will be able to break through the blockage of Wu Benlang's general Zhang Jun and Wu Yalang's general Liang Yuanli, so the consequences are unimaginable, the Xijing army "plays with fire**", Playing yourself to death.
Dou Luxian gave the order, at any cost, regardless of any losses, to attack, smash the center of the enemy formation, and knock down the enemy's commander's banner.
Yang Xuanting's morale was like a rainbow, he regarded death as home, put his personal life and death aside, and launched a fierce attack on the Xijing army with his own guards and light horses, tearing open the enemy formations surrounding him, killing the enemy generals who blocked him, and opening a passage for his subordinates who were desperately killing from all directions.
Dou Luxian failed to complete the task assigned by Wei Wensheng, although he sacrificed his life and forgot to rush to the front, and his soldiers also fought bravely forward, but the dying rebels did not give up in despair under the shadow of death, but burst out of the amazing survival **, exerted incredible combat effectiveness, and the strong counterattack before the death of the "trapped beast" made the Xijing soldiers pay a heavy price.
Outside the city of Xiaoxin'an, with the rapid passage of time, as the army could not break through the enemy's resistance for a long time, Yang Xuan felt anxious, his feelings became more and more impatient, the sense of foreboding became stronger and stronger, and the reprimand of the generals under his command became more and more severe.
"Don't worry about Ming Gong, as long as Gong Huai'an (Yang Jishan) and Duke Pushan (Li Mi) receive the order, switch from defense to attack, and launch a fierce attack from the direction of Mianchi, Wei Wensheng will be attacked by the enemy on his belly and back, and he will not be able to besiege and kill Huaiyang Gong (Yang Xuanting) at all, on the contrary, Wei Wensheng is trapped in the internal and external attacks of the three-way army, exhausted, and the grain and grass are exhausted, and he will be defeated in a blink of an eye, and he will definitely not be able to support this night." Hu Shitan comforted Yang Xuangan with confidence, "Although Wei Wensheng is dying and struggling, he can't change the fate of destruction, we have the chance to win, even if there are some waves, there is no danger." ”
Yang Xuan stroked his long hair with his hand, bowed his head slightly, and then took a few deep breaths, intending to relieve his nervous feelings, but the air was mixed with a strong and choking smell of burning, which rushed straight to his lungs, making his "heart" that had not yet fallen suddenly rush to his throat again.
"The smell in the air is getting stronger." Yang Xuangan looked up at the black foggy sky in the west, and there was a hint of strong uneasiness in his deep voice, "Do you smell it?" ”
Hu Shitan also looked up at the west, but his expression was calm, even a little excited. Regardless of the fire in the direction of Michi, this fire was set by his own people, and the purpose was to prevent the Xijing army from breaking through. The Xijing army will not set fire, the bigger the fire, the longer it burns, the more unfavorable it will be for them, once the food is exhausted and the time to break through is gone, they can only wait to die.
"Perhaps, in order to vent his anger, the white hair set fire to the mountains and forests." Hu Shitan said with a pun.
Yang Jishan was about to blatantly take away the command of the battlefield when he arrived at the city of Mianchi, and Li Fengyun took into account that the overall situation had been decided, and in order to leave the battlefield in the eastern capital, he must preserve his strength, so he could only choose compromise and forbearance, but the anger was certain, this "donkey" had not been killed, Yang Xuangan was impatient to "unload the mill", what happened next can be imagined, how can the white hair give up? Set a fire, cut off the retreat of the Xijing army, completely force the Xijing army to a dead end, and let the Xijing army and Yang Xuangan fight in Xiaoxin'an City, which is not only conducive to encircling and annihilating the Xijing army, without harming the overall situation, but also can reduce Yang Xuangan's strength, and is conducive to the safe evacuation of white hair, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Yang Xuangan's brows furrowed, and a hint of fierce murder flashed in his eyes, "If the white hair ignites the mountains and forests and cuts off the retreat of the Xijing army, won't it force more Xijing troops to the front battlefield?" Yang Xuangan pointed forward and said in a cold voice, "What's even stricter is that we can't launch an offensive from the direction of Mianchi, and we can't effectively contain a part of the enemy army, which leads to a sudden change in the battle situation, and this change is very unfavorable to us." ”
Hu Shi suddenly woke up, and his expression suddenly became solemn. Yang Jishan took more than 10,000 elites to the direction of Mianchi, in order to prevent the Xijing army from breaking through, and now the white hair has cut off the breakthrough road of the Xijing army, which is equivalent to Yang Jishan's more than 10,000 elites to "idle", and at the same time, the comparison of the forces of the two sides on the battlefield of Xiaoxin'an City has changed, and the military advantage occupied by Yang Xuangan is suddenly gone, and he is even at a disadvantage. Now Yang Xuangan can't break through the Xijing army's blockade for a long time, the reason is this, so the shape is very bad, Yang Xuanting's assault army is surrounded by several times his own Xijing army, and the slightest accident may wipe out the whole army.
Once Yang Xuanting was wiped out, the blow to Yang Xuangan and the mutiny alliance was too great, even if this battle was won, it would be a tragic victory in the end, and after the tragic victory, Yang Xuangan would annex Li Fengyun with what? The grudge between the two sides has just been settled, even if they don't tear their faces, they are already tense and on the verge of breaking out, will Li Fengyun take the opportunity to pounce on him and bite hard? In fact, Yang Xuangan, who had lost his troops and lost his strength at that time, had no intention of dealing with Li Fengyun's anger, what he wanted to consider was how to enter the Guanzhong in the west, and he no longer had enough strength to enter the Guanzhong.
It is easy to calm Li Fengyun's anger, the alliance is eager to escape from the battlefield of the Eastern Capital, Li Fengyun is absolutely impossible to kill Yang Xuangan, as long as Yang Xuangan makes an appropriate "show of weakness", Li Fengyun will be "satisfied", this will not have any impact on Yang Xuangan, but if Yang Xuangan can't enter the Guanzhong and is surrounded by reinforcements from all walks of life in the Eastern Capital battlefield, the impact on him will be fatal and irretrievable.
Hu Shitan thought for a long time and offered a plan cautiously, "Ming Gong doesn't need to be anxious, Huai'an Gong (Yang Jishan) will send a battle report from Mianchi later, if Bai Fa really sets a big fire and leads to a sudden change in the battle situation, Ming Gong can consider asking Huai'an Gong (Yang Jishan) to rush back to support." ”
As soon as these words came out, Yang Xuan was even more panicked, and couldn't help but be angry, and scolded, "The erector has no plan, and his crime should be punished"
