Li Yanhuo and Li Dayu stood side by side in the messy camp, their faces pale. After two days of attacking, not only did there be no gain, but nearly 10,000 people were lost. You must know that there are more than 30,000 people in total in the Qixi coalition army this time, and it is these 30,000 people that defeated the 60,000 Tang army. But now, there is nothing that can be done about thousands of people. In particular, the enemy's sneak attack last night actually caused the Qixi coalition army to kill each other, losing thousands of people overnight.

Originally, Li Shenghuo hoped that the Tang Army would be victorious, and he had fulfilled his long-cherished wish for many years. But now that Tang Jun has really won, he is unwilling. If Tang Jun defeated him with real swords and guns, he would be convinced, but he didn't even meet these people, which was really annoying.

Li Dayu asked with a calm face, "King Khitan, what should we do?" ”

Li said viciously: "What else can I do? If we go back like this, what face will we have in the future? Attack, today no matter what, the car formation must be captured. ”

Li Dayu nodded.

……

Li Tao couldn't help frowning when he saw that the Khitan cavalry in front of the car formation was gathering troops. Today, the Khitans put the cavalry in three directions, but in two directions. There were about 13,000 men on the front, about 8,000 on the left flank, and not a single soldier on the right flank of the chariot formation.

Xue Ne and Wang Haibin also saw some of the doorways, and Wang Haibin asked worriedly, "King Lantian, are they preparing to attack from the front and the flanks at the same time?" ”

Li Tao shook his head and said, "Impossible, they want to contain it head-on." Attack from the flanks. ”

Wang Haibin asked, "Is there any difference between this?" ”

"Of course there is, it seems that this Li lost life to find the key to us." Li Tao smiled bitterly.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Our biggest advantage now is that we have ballistas and plenty of bows and arrows. And what about the disadvantages? It's just that there are too few troops. On the contrary, the greatest advantage of the Khitans is that they have sufficient troops and fast mobility, but what they are most afraid of now is our ballistas. I only brought thirty ballistae with me, and since the front was vulnerable to attack, I arranged half of the ballista in the front, five on the left wing, five on the right wing, and five on the back. Now the Khitans are holding back most of my ballistas head-on. And attacking from the left flank is equivalent to us having only five ballistas to deal with the charge of the Khitan cavalry. If the Khitan cavalry charges in waves, the ballista will definitely not have time to mount the crossbow. So. The threat of ballistas to cavalry was minimized. ”

Wang Haibin suggested: "If this is the case, then simply transfer the right flank and the ballista behind to the left flank to defend." ”

"You think the ballista is a cavalry, and you can adjust it immediately! Besides, look there! Li Tao pointed to the simple watchtower erected by the Khitan military tree trunk and said, "We just need to move." And they saw it clearly. If the Khitan cavalry maneuvered quickly to my right flank and rear, the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

Xue Ne asked worriedly, "What should be the plan now?" ”

Li Tao said calmly: "First try your best to defend, and in the end, if you can't do it, you can only fight with the Khitan cavalry." ”

"Hard? How to spell it hard? ”

"Now there are only 700 people on hand, 200 people stay in the front defense, 200 people attack and insert between the front and left flank of the Khitans, cut off their contact, and the remaining 300 people take the initiative to attack the Khitan cavalry on the flank."

"Three hundred people on the offensive of thousands? How is this different from suicide? Xue Ne exclaimed.

"It's the only way."

Wang Haihai's surface was cloudy and sunny. He suddenly asked, "King Lantian, can two hundred people cut off the Khitans' frontal connection with the left wing?" If the Khitans broke through the defense. Wouldn't that be a ...... on both sides?"

"It's a matter of time before they break through, they can't stop the rescue of the Khitan cavalry in front, but they can delay their speed and buy time for our cavalry's attack."

"Then I'm afraid they won't have one left in the end!"

Li Tao turned his head and glanced at the Luzhou regimental exercises that were waiting for him, shook his head and said, "Fighting, how can there be immortals!" There is no way to do it, and if we don't, we're all going to die here. ”

After pondering for a while, Wang Haibin resolutely said: "King Lantian, let me go and block the cavalry in front!" ”

"Huh?" Li Tao didn't expect Wang Haibin to have such an idea.

"I still have a thousand people under my command, although it is not as elite as the Luzhou regiment, but we have a heart of blood and a heart of death, I promise to delay their time to the greatest extent, or let those two hundred people attack the enemy on the left flank!"

"Great, if you add these two hundred people, I am completely sure that I will wipe out all the Khitan cavalry on the left flank." Li Tao clapped his hands and said, but he couldn't bear to say: "Wang Duwei, you must know that this is a life of nine deaths!" ”

Wang Haibin said sadly and indignantly: "The 60,000 army was crushed for thousands of miles without a bloody battle with the enemy, and I am unwilling!" Originally, we had already lost this battle, but Lantian Wang, you have turned the situation around, I am also a Tang soldier, and now I have the opportunity to fight with the enemy, I am ashamed of blood, even if I die on the battlefield, I am willing. ”

Li Tao was moved when he heard this, and he saluted Wang Haibin and said, "Wang Duwei, Li Tao has thanked you here." If something happens to you, if I can go back alive, your family will be handed over to me Li Tao! ”

"I have eight hundred men under me, and I'm one too!" At that moment, a voice rang out from the side.

"You?" Li Tao looked back and saw that it was the unkempt Li Sijing.

Li Sijing hadn't even said a word in the car array in the past two days, his face was haggard, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but he suddenly spoke at this time.

Li Sijing didn't raise his head, and said slowly: "The responsibility for this defeat lies with me, tens of thousands of Tang Dynasty athletes have lost their lives because of me, and now it's too late to regret it, even if it is a thousand cuts, it can't atone for it." Li is a dead man, and he is not qualified to speak here. Wang Duwei is right, I am also a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, I hope that King Lantian will give me a chance to die on the battlefield! ”

Li Tao was silent.

Li Sijing pounced and knelt on the ground: "King Lantian, please, give me a chance!" ”

After saying that, Li Sijing shook his head, and suddenly his forehead was bleeding.

Li Tao sighed, stepped forward to help Li Sijing up, and said, "General Li, please get up, I agreed." ”

"Thank you Lantian King, thank you Lantian King!" Li Sijing was already in tears when he got up.

Li Kailuo was about to open his mouth on the side, but Li Tao preemptively said: "In this way, Wang Duwei will leave three hundred people and hand them over to General Li Kailuo, who will be responsible for the defense in the car formation." The remaining 800 men and the 800 men of General Li Sijing, led by Wang Duwei and General Li Sijing, were responsible for blocking the Khitan frontal cavalry. Alright, let's go down and get ready! ”
