October 12, Anju, west bank of the Buje water. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In the afternoon, Han Shige received a letter from Yue Gao, and was desperately broken through by the Xi army besieging Maogouchuan, and the battle was very fierce.
Yue Gao's meaning was very straightforward, urging Han Shige to take Jinkou on the west bank of Wulieshui as soon as possible and complete the second encirclement of Xi's army, but Han Shige's status was noble and prestigious, Yue Gao didn't dare to say it directly, and he didn't even dare to make a pun, but just informed him in detail about the battle situation in Maogou River, so that Han Shige understood at a glance, and it would not cause Han Shige's displeasure.
Of course, Han Shige wanted to take Jinkou on the west bank of Wulieshui as soon as possible, but he was big-minded, eating in the bowl and looking at the pot, not only wanting to annihilate the enemy troops on the west bank, but also wanting to lure the enemy troops on the east bank to cross the river to help, and then eat the enemy troops on the east bank in one bite, depending on the battle, and solve all the problems at once, so he is now like a tiger that has caught its prey, not in a hurry to eat, but slowly abuses and plays, wanting to lure more prey to take the bait.
Yue Gao urged like this, Han Shige was immediately vigilant, and then lost his interest in playing, coupled with the signs that the enemy army on the east bank had not crossed the river to support for a long time, it was estimated that he was determined to see death and not save him, so he decisively ordered that the horse infantry army marched together, attacked on three sides, and tried his best to kill the enemy, and be sure to take Jinkou before dusk.
The order was given, and the time for the final "end" had come, Han Shige couldn't hold it back, and rushed up with a team of personal guards and horses, risking arrows and stones, taking the lead, regardless of life and death, just caring about killing heartily.
Han Shige's charge into battle was too great an incentive for the soldiers of the Ma Army, and their morale was greatly boosted, and all the strings were excited, their blood was boiling, and they shouted hoarsely, and they rushed to kill their horses, like crazy, and the offensive was like a tide, and in an instant, they broke the enemy formation, flooded Jinkou, and defeated the opponent like a withering and decaying body.
The west bank of the Wulie River fell to Jinkou.
Although Feng Hong repeatedly urged Ah Changsheng to evacuate first, and the Lone Elm on the east bank of the river also persuaded him to cross the river and flee for his life several times, Ah Changsheng was determined to live and die with Jinkou, held on and fought until the last moment.
Before dusk, Han Shimo, surrounded by the generals of the Ma army, rushed up the river embankment with his horse, and looked at the enemy formation on the opposite bank.
"Can anyone tell where the tiger and the hussar are?" Han Shige's blood-stained robe, full of ambition, pointed to the east with the horse lance in his hand, and did not hide his ridicule and disdain for friendly troops.
Meng Ba and Jing Jiang looked at each other, closed their mouths one by one, and no one answered, allowing Han Shige to revel in the joy of victory and swell his arrogance to the extreme. Now these generals of the Ma Army know more or less about Han Shige, and know that this famous nobleman is very capable, but his personality is also arrogant and domineering to the extreme, and he is extremely contemptuous of foreign races, and treats him like ants, so the best way to deal with him is to ignore him without saying a word, only in this way can conflicts be avoided.
Seeing that no one coped, Han Shige laughed and said triumphantly, "The ridicule on the other side is extremely stupid, and he even stays there waiting to die, if it is so-and-so, he would have escaped a long time ago, how could he let the tiger and hussar eat it in one bite?" ā
The generals still didn't speak, but they all understood what Han Shige meant, tonight the tiger and the hussars will launch a night attack and eat the enemy army on the east coast in one bite, otherwise they will run away in vain this time, if the two elite legions of the alliance have not achieved an inch in such a critical battle, it is too embarrassing.
In fact, according to the predetermined plan, the alliance's attack on Wulieshui was a flank attack from the east and west, and the alliance troops on both sides of the strait had to attack at the same time, cooperate with each other, and show mutual support, but the Huben and Hussars did not attack the enemy forces on the east bank as agreed, and it was obvious that Han Shige's leopard cavalry army had joined the battlefield on the west bank, and the alliance had already occupied an absolute advantage on the west bank, and it was no longer necessary to flank the east and west. In this case, if the tiger and hussar were killed, they would definitely scare the enemy on the east bank and scare away the enemy on the east bank, so the tiger and the hussar decided to continue to hide, and wait until the night to launch a night attack to catch the enemy on the east bank by surprise, so that they could completely annihilate the opponent and not let the soldiers return empty-handed.
"Urgent report Maogou River." Han Shige waved his hand and said, "A certain person took Wulie Water before dusk, and Xi Yu's retreat was exhausted, and it was difficult to fly. ā
October 12, Anzhou, Maogou River.
At dusk, the offensive of the Xi army decreased sharply and contracted rapidly.
Li Fengyun ordered that after dusk, all armies would stop attacking, but they should narrow the encirclement, strengthen the defense, and once the Xi army broke through at night, they would attack head-on. Then Li Fengyun sent people to the various armies to check the battle damage.
After a day's fighting, the casualties of the alliance were not small, although the armies strongly requested to attack overnight and continue to attack and consume the Xi army, but Li Fengyun refused.
Li Fengyun told the commanders of all armies that they must clearly understand the purpose of this battle. The purpose of this battle is not to completely annihilate the Xi army, not to defeat the Xi people, but to defeat the Xi army, conquer the Xi people, and strive to completely recover Anzhou in the shortest possible time, stabilize Anzhou, and firmly gain a foothold in Anzhou, and then use the power of the Xi people to strengthen and develop the strength of the alliance, and lay the foundation for the next sweep of the northeast and defeat the Turks. For this reason, Li Fengyun asked the commanders of the armies not to be carried away by the victory, let alone forget the difficult predicament that the alliance is in.
Murong Zhili was injured, and when he was in close hand-to-hand combat with Xi Jun, because of his lack of experience in the battle, he was too nervous, he couldn't show his martial arts, and he was in distress several times, but fortunately, Hu Yanqian was by his side, and the guards of the Murong family were also very powerful, and they repeatedly helped him avoid disasters, and then Murong Zhili's courage was strong, and the young man's blood was boiling, and he was indomitable, and he could kill him, regardless of it, the flesh injury was inevitable, but fortunately, it was not serious, and he could be healed after a while. When Li Fengyun heard the news, he personally rushed to visit him, and suggested that he immediately return to Fangcheng to heal his wounds, and not to participate in the subsequent battles.
Murong Zhili refused, insisted on staying in Maogou River, and wanted to advance and retreat with the soldiers in life and death. Li Fengyun was worried that something would happen, and he was a little embarrassed, and he was about to continue to persuade him, but at this moment, a subordinate reported urgently, and an envoy from Xi Jun came, asking for negotiations.
The envoy of Xi Jun is Li Yi, and the alliance is responsible for receiving and negotiating Kong Yingda.
When the two sides confronted each other in Wulieshui before, Kong Yingda had already told Feng Hong in detail about the bottom line of the alliance's negotiations, but the Xi people were not sincere, and Ah Huizheng's purpose was to delay time and wait for the situation to change. Now that the two sides are talking, the conditions that Li Yi came up with are the bottom line of the previous alliance.
"You are cheating, delaying time, waiting for a turnaround, it is meaningless." Kong Yingda was unceremoniously and said bluntly, "The situation has developed to this point, so and so, let's tell the truth, the information you have received is all false, the ghost side is still in our hands, the Turks have not broken through the Taoshui defense line so far, and it is difficult to advance an inch in the flat pine forest, so Maogou River is a trap, you are in a dead place, and there is no turning point at all." Of course, you may still have illusions about the remaining armies on both sides of the Wulie River, so well, you can continue to wait with this illusion. It's just that I want to warn you that the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for you, and the final result will be total annihilation, and then you will not even have a chance to surrender, let alone negotiate. ā
Li Yi thought of this possibility, and Ah Huizheng and the chieftains also speculated about it, but the problem was that the Turks were close at hand, and Anzhou was right under their noses, how could the Turks let the Middle-earth people easily capture Anzhou? This is no longer a public slap in the face and a provocation, but is directly related to the overall situation of the confrontation between the north and the south, and even affects the rise and fall of the Turks' honor and disgrace. Taking a step back, even if the Turks reacted slowly, or the Middle-earths pinned down the southeast Yaqi in the Yanbei direction, the Middle-earthers were bound to plan for the worst, and the white wolf was bound to deploy heavy troops on the front line of the ghost side and the pine forest in the peaceful land to fight against the Turks, so even if Maogou River was a trap here, it was impossible for the Middle-earthers to transfer all their forces to encircle and annihilate the Xi army. Therefore, if the information revealed by Kong Yingda is true, then the reinforcements in the Great Wall must have entered Anzhou in large numbers, and the reason why today's battle has become such a situation, the reason why the troops put into the battlefield by the Middle-earth people do not occupy an absolute advantage, it is estimated that the principle of "using razing to defeat the enemy" has played a role, and Middle-earth has the purpose of conquering the Xi people for its own use, and there is no idea of killing them all.
In other words, Ah Hui Zheng has a very accurate grasp of the mentality of the Middle-earth people, his countermeasures to preserve the strength are correct, and the Xi people can only maximize their strength in order to gain the greatest benefits in the struggle between the two great powerhouses of Middle-earth and Turkic, but now it is too late to say anything, the Xi army has suffered heavy losses, the strength of the Xi people has been greatly damaged, the five-part alliance has actually fallen apart, and the Xi people can only surrender unconditionally in exchange for survival, and they have no qualifications and capital to bargain with the Middle-earth people at all.
Li Yi sighed bitterly and tried his best to fight, "So during the negotiations, can the two sides maintain restraint and maintain the confrontation?" This is tantamount to admitting in disguise that the purpose of his trip is to deceive the opponent to stop attacking and give himself a chance to breathe.
"Good! As you wish. Kong Yingda agreed without thinking.
Late at night, Yue Gao urgently reported to Li Fengyun that Han Shige had taken Jinkou on the west bank of Wulieshui before dusk, and the overall situation had been decided, and the victory in this battle was in hand, and there was no suspense.
"Report to Jianchang Gong (Li Zixiong)." After Li Fengyun weighed it a little, he said decisively, "Now the situation on the Flying Fox's side is very tense, and the King of Qi is also very constrained in Yanbei, and it is difficult to lend a helping hand in a hurry, and if we want to quickly reverse this passive situation, we must completely take Anzhou and gain a foothold in Anzhou, only in this way can the Holy Lord and the Central Authority make up their minds to launch the Third Eastern Crusade, and once the decision of the Third Eastern Crusade is passed, the Holy Lord and the Central Committee will inevitably make some compromises, which will give us a buffer time." As long as the three parties echo the momentum, we will have no worries inside and outside the Great Wall. ā
Yuan An and Kong Yingda nodded again and again, agreeing with what Li Fengyun said.
"A certain will immediately report to Jianchang Gonggong." Yuan An said with a smile, "At the same time, I also reported to Fang Cheng and made those who had delusions completely dead." ā
"Negotiations should be carried out quickly and quickly to prevent accidents." Kong Yingda said, "It is unrealistic to expect the Humiliation King to stop the Turks, and our main force must quickly move north to ease the tension on the Ghost Fang's side." ā
Li Fengyun bowed slightly, "Urgently tell Han Shige and ask him to immediately escort Ah Changsheng and Feng Hong to Maogou River to speed up the negotiation process and end this battle as soon as possible." ā
