Sitting in the study, Qin Duan seemed a little absent-minded, although he had a lot of trust in Mi Dahong's ability, but after all, the time was too urgent, and the distance was so far away, if he wanted to take Lishan City in a short time and hold on to the attack of the enemy army together with the defenders in Lishan City, in addition to testing the combat effectiveness of the Fifth Division of the Second Army, but also testing the coordination ability of Mi Dahong, who was the commander of the Fifth Division, Coordinating with other armies in Lishan Castle that used to be enemies rather than friends to jointly resist the attack of the real enemy is the key to testing the ability of a good commander.

Even Qin Dui, who had always been steadfast, became a little skeptical in the anxious waiting, but then he encouraged himself to believe in the ability of his subordinates, to believe that they could see the importance of this battle, and that they could understand the key points of this battle.

In order to distract himself, Qin Du forced himself to put his mind on Zhao Yutang, the seventeenth princess who was inspecting Mangye Town in the northwest of Tokugawa, this fiancée in his name also looked quite simple, at a young age, she also acted in a good manner, and she actually knew how to buy public opinion, and it seemed that she wanted to slowly take away the prestige of the people in the northwest from her fiancé.

Thinking of this, the corners of Qin Du's mouth couldn't help but show a hint of a smile, she couldn't help but look at these problems too simply, especially those nomads, who have been cruising and surviving in the Tengger grassland for a long time, have already trained their authorities to be more cunning than foxes, and her identity as the princess of the Great Qin Empire alone is probably far from enough to impress these guys who are quite good at seeing the wind and steering, they value strength more than the Great Qin people, if they don't have the strength to back up, even if you have a lotus flower on your tongue, they won't let them waver in the slightest, At this point. Qin Duan saw it more clearly than anyone else.

However, what was hidden behind her still made Qin Du moved, from the current appearance, it seems that Her Royal Highness the princess and her fiancé do not want to be in the same boat, she is more like she is shouldering some kind of long-term mission of the imperial court, maybe her heart is more focused on the fate of the ethereal Great Qin Empire, but to give such a heavy mission to such a weak girl. Would it be too heavy for her to have her young shoulders?

The two cavalry wings of the Third Garrison Division ambushed in five miles outside Lishan City behind a hill appeared very calm under the leadership of Jin Zecheng, and the entire unit was lurking and hiding very successfully, except for a group of probe horses that were solved after discovering the problem, the other two groups of enemy probe horses were rough patrol and then left, at this time Jin Zecheng had completely recovered the usual general demeanor, and the extreme trust in the commander also made the officers and soldiers act to the point of ordering and prohibiting them like an arm. A qiē is being carried out according to a pre-set schedule.

After lunch, just when Li Yuanhui and Ou Ye were discussing how to launch an attack in the big tent. The two wings of cavalry hidden on the west side of Lishan City suddenly appeared on the horizon, and their storm-like impact speed made the coalition forces who were lining up outside Lishan City to launch a siege battle completely unprepared, and the fatal blow from the side completely disrupted the deployment of the coalition forces.

They did not expect that the enemy, whose strength was far inferior to their own, would dare to ambush outside the city and attack first, and the coalition infantry, who had no time to react, were completely stunned by the sudden onslaught of iron cavalry, and the lack of cooperation of the coalition forces also exposed their weaknesses in fighting separately at this time.

The overwhelming cavalry rushed in, and the infantry defense line that was struggling to resist due to the innate error in the orientation of the formation, they did not expect that the blow would come from the flank, and only after a few rounds of confrontation. Li Yuanhui's 1st Garrison Division was the first to retreat, and the vacillation of the 1st Garrison Division's defensive line immediately affected Ouye's army. Treating these foreign troops, the cavalry of the Matashi Company Battalion will not have the slightest pity, and after breaking through the defense line of the First Garrison Division, Jin Zecheng put the main target on the Sithroes.

Having lost the cover of the 1st Garrison Division, the Hethro's army was still struggling to hold out, but the front was crumbling. At this time, thousands of iron horsemen swarmed out of Lishan City, where the city gates were wide open, and after suffering heavy blows from both sides, the Sithroes could no longer organize a complete resistance, and the defense line finally collapsed.

The avalanche-like retreat immediately hit the newly prepared Central and Rear Army, and the disheartened Sithlo soldiers were no longer willing to stay behind to lay the rear for the 1st Garrison Division. Even Ou Ye could not control his officers, they had long been angry about the gap in the defense line of the First Garrison Division taking the lead in retreating, and they were unwilling to fight with the "despicable guys" in their mouths, and there was an irreparable rift between the two coalition forces.

In the process of retreating, the middle and high-ranking officers of both sides fought separately and retreated as quickly as possible, without the slightest regard for the other side, and this behavior led to disastrous consequences, and the troops several times larger than the other side were actually driven into panic and fled in panic by enemy troops far less than their own side, and this cannot but be said to be a strange phenomenon in military history.

The coalition forces had to retreat thirty miles away to stabilize their positions, and the two coalition forces, which had seemed to be relatively harmonious, had become clear in their positions at this moment, as evidenced by the distance camps.

"Lord Li, this defeat is entirely due to the incompetence of your subordinates, and you are fully responsible for the consequences of this battle!"

In the coach's tent, Ou, who had always been calm, could no longer be stable, and tore off the veil of warmth and affection on the surface and roared like thunder.

Originally, he wanted to fight a big victory in order to consolidate his position as commander of the Nuremberg Front, and even hoped to use a victory to prove to Prince Mercado, the commander-in-chief of the southern region of the empire, that he was fully capable of a more important position, but he did not expect such a scene to occur, and Ou couldn't help but be angry when he thought of this.

"Humph! General Ou Ye, I'm afraid you can't say what you say! In the event of a surprise attack by the enemy, who was the first to withstand the onslaught of the enemy?! It's us! Your Excellency, it was my men who held back the enemy's charge with their blood and bodies, so that you had enough time to deal with it! But look at your people, what are you doing when we can't hold it anymore?! Blindly defending yourself and forming a formation, without considering the plight of your allies, I blush for what your men have done! You're embarrassed to question me, that's exactly what I'm going to ask you! ”

Seeing that his army had suffered a lot of losses, Li Yuanhui was already heartbroken and angry, this is the foundation on which he depends! At this time, seeing that Ou Ye actually put all the responsibility on his head, Li Yuanhui was even more angry and unceremoniously ridiculed him. (To be continued......)
