Chapter 439: Reaching the Peak

Boom, boom, two feather arrows shot by Li Keshi and Wang Bodang whistled and staggered, and the two archers who were named in the history books also made dodge actions at the same time, Li Keshi grabbed the reins with his right hand and dodged sideways on the horse, pressing his body to the right as much as possible, and Wang Bodang, who shot the bow and arrow on his back, quickly saddled, trying to keep his body close to the horse's back and reducing the area of the arrow. [To see the latest chapters of this book, please go to the book.]

No one was able to completely avoid the incoming arrows, Wang Bodang's arrow hit the right side of Li Keshi's chest, and the arrow pierced through the armor and broke one of Li Keshi's ribs before stopping, almost entering his lungs, making Li Keshi can't help but let out a muffled snort. However, Wang Bodang's side was even worse, the powerful feather arrow shot by Li Keshi hit his right shoulder, which also broke through the armor and flesh, and directly penetrated Wang Bodang's shoulder blade deep into the body, almost crushing Wang Bodang's right shoulder joint and making his right arm scrap, but it also made Wang Bodang seriously injured, screaming and quickly fleeing back into the formation, and his right arm was temporarily unable to move.

Li Keshi, who was also not lightly injured, also quickly fled back to the army formation, and before checking the wounds, he loudly ordered the army to stabilize his position, and the archers were ready, and the result was not surprising, the thunderous Li Mijun really attacked under the command of Wang Bodang's deputy Zhang Changhui, fortunately, the Sui army was already ready, and had built some temporary fortifications to protect the position, and immediately released arrows to meet the enemy, and suppressed the charging momentum of Li Mijun's army with a strong bow and crossbow.

Fortunately, although the second-line team brought by Li Keshi from Guanzhong was inexperienced, but there was no ambiguity in the training equipment, and the recruits of the Sui army who went into battle for the first time shot two waves of strong crossbows and four waves of feather arrows, and Li Mijun charged within ten steps of the Sui army's position. And just when these experienced soldiers of Li Mijun on the battlefield were glad to finally be able to give full play to their melee specialty, Li Keshi, who had received the true inheritance of his brother, waved the flag, and the soldiers of the Sui Army who were kneeling in front of the crossbowman on one knee immediately got up, and at the same time showed the Mo knife in his hand.

"Soldiers, kill!" The generals of the front team of the Sui army roared angrily, and the soldiers of the Mo sword soldiers of the Sui army also shouted in unison, "Kill-!" ”

In the roar, the Mo knife slashed up and down, even chopping and stabbing, like a meat grinder to smash the enemy on the opposite side, majestic, but the experienced Li Mijun soldiers were not frightened, and tried to parry the Sui army's big Mo knife, and stepped forward to fight in close combat at every opportunity, and the sword and sword shadow also brought a lot of casualties to the Sui army soldiers, and the killing sound on the Luoshui battlefield shook the sky, and the flesh and blood splashed, and soon the fight was in full swing, and it was inseparable.

However, compared with the battlefield of Jinyong City, the Luoshui battlefield can only be regarded as a pediatric, and the battlefield of Jinyong City at this moment can no longer be described with words such as in full swing and corpses everywhere, but the real Shura slaughterhouse, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

After the mysterious Xiaoguo army successfully disrupted the rear of the Wang-Li coalition army, although the Wang-Li coalition army still had a certain advantage, the sequelae of the premature general offensive gradually began to be exposed, and the general attack was launched without completely defeating the Xiaoguo army's battle formation. The Wang-Li coalition army failed to turn the upper hand into a victory, failed to defeat and disperse the main force of the Xiaoguo army, and they no longer had a strict and orderly queue during the general attack, but gradually revealed their weaknesses again, giving the enemy a chance to counterattack.

The Xiaoguo army, which escaped the catastrophe, seized such an opportunity, and after easing Zhang Tong'er's tone of defection a little, the cavalry of the Xiaoguo army, which still maintained a complete queue behind the Chinese army, quickly launched a counterattack, outflanking it in units of thousands of people, finding space to launch a charge and raid, and successively disrupted several infantry teams of the Wang-Li coalition army, although the Wang-Li coalition army also quickly put into a counterattack, and in turn entangled the cavalry of the Xiaoguo army one by one with infantry melee, but it also successfully shared the huge pressure on the front of the self-army, so that the main front team got a chance to breathe, close to each other and gathered into a group, back-to-back with the Wang Li coalition army to fight to the death, casualties are still heavy, but at least not as in the beginning of the danger of collapse.

The scale of the melee is getting bigger and bigger, from east to west for ten miles is full of flesh and blood on the battlefield of life and death, the generals and soldiers of the three armies in order to survive and win, forgetting their lives and forgetting death, fighting for their lives, the corpses are covered with snowy earth, the wounded soldiers of all sides make miserable cries for help in the corpses, but these cries for help are also completely drowned in the sonic boom-like shouts of killing, the sound of horses' hooves and the collision of gold and iron, the living people step on the bodies and blood of the dead, still fighting and fighting, even if the three soldiers who are rolling on the ground can stand up, The hair on the whole body and face was also covered with blood and minced flesh, and the snow was constantly melted by the blood, flowing and converging into a stream, accumulating into puddles of blood that could drown the instep of the feet.

The number of casualties on the three warring sides is constantly rising, and blood is constantly pouring out of the wounds of the three giants of Li Mi's army, the Dongdu army and the Xiaoguo army, and the speed is terrifying, among them, Wang Shichong, who is the most modest and profitable, wants to cry for such a loss, and Li Mi, who is relatively the most confident, is also pale-faced, and is very distressed for such a situation, but the matter has come to this point, whether it is Li Mi or Wang Shichong, they no longer dare to order the retreat to save their strength - stopping at this time is not only to abandon the previous efforts, but also to commit suicide! The Xiaoguo army, which has already killed the red eyes, will never let go of the opportunity to take the opportunity to launch a full-scale counteroffensive! So Wang Shichong and Li Mi had no choice but to continue to fight, and compete with Xiaoguo Jun to see whose blood flowed faster and more, and who could not support the injury and fell down first!

Fortunately, the Wang Li coalition army still has a considerable chance of winning, and the Xiaoguo army, which was tormented by severe cold and injury, is completely supported by one breath, as long as this breath is exhausted, the combat effectiveness will decline Yan zhΓ²ng's Xiaoguo army is destined to collapse and collapse by itself, coupled with the failure of the commander of Hua and his brother, such a situation is almost a certainty. [To see the latest chapters of this book, please go to the book.] Therefore, Wang Shichong and Li Mi have the confidence to hold on no matter how heavy the losses are, because they know very well in their hearts that the longer they hold on, the more the balance of victory will be in their favor!

Of course, this also has to be based on the fact that the Wang Li coalition army itself is not accidental, what Li Mi did not expect was that the scout who was sent to the south to investigate why there was wolf smoke really brought him back the situation that Wang Bodang had already turned his face with Li Keshi, Li Mi was extremely angry about this, but he had no choice but to order the scout to continue to investigate, and report the situation of the Luoshui battle at any time, and at the same time sent someone to contact Wang Shichong, asking Wang Shichong's Luoyang Nancheng garrison to attack, and Wang Bodang joined forces to attack Li Keshi, who had been openly helped by Hua and his brother.

Wang Shichong didn't want to open a new battlefield at this time, and he didn't want to turn his face with his son-in-law, who was strong and strong, but he couldn't afford any mistakes on the southern front at the moment, so Wang Bodang only thought about it for less than five seconds, and then shouted with a blue face: "Immediately go and give Jun Kuo an order, let him lead the army to attack, and cooperate with Wang Bodang to flank Li Keshi's husband!" Win at all costs! ”

As soon as Wang Shichong's herald left on the front foot, there was a horse rush report to Li Mi on the back foot, saying that Yang Defang had already fought with the cavalry of the Guanzhong Sui Army who claimed to have captured the Xiaoguo army during the pursuit of the mysterious Xiaoguo army. Strive to defeat the enemy, even if the strength is not enough to defeat it, you can't let the Chen thief cavalry get close to the battlefield of Jinyong City! ”

Li Mi's order was issued a little later, the process of cavalry battle was originally fast, and the Yang Defang army was only seven or eight hundred people, and it was the two thousand cavalry who took the initiative to attack Xian Yu Qian, and after being shot by the Sui cavalry with bows and arrows, it was even more difficult to parry the full counterattack of the Sui cavalry, and the battle was defeated in less than a moment, and then when Li Mi's heralds found Yang Defang, Yang Defang's army had already withdrawn from Jingu Garden, At the same time, the cavalry had also pursued to the area of Jinguyuan, which was less than twenty miles away from the battlefield of Jinyong City.

Yang Defang, who received Li Mi's order again, was forced to be helpless, so he could only turn around and come to meet the battle, the result was that Yang Defang himself carried out the order resolutely, but the cavalry horses under his command were not cast of iron and steel, and the effect of turning around and fighting again was even worse, and soon the Sui cavalry of the cluster raid was rushed to pieces, and the army was not formed, and the soldiers fled to Yan zhΓ²ng, Yang Defang had no choice but to hurry up and continue to flee with his subordinates who still obeyed the order.

The wavering balance of victory and defeat unconsciously tilted a little towards the Xiaoguo army, and Pei Renji, a professional household of the pit father, dropped the chain again at this critical moment, and was defeated by Fan Wenchao and Meng Jing, who were eager to withdraw to support the main force, and Pei Renji's soldiers, who were afraid of death, fled one after another, and the left wing of the Xiaoguo army took the opportunity to move closer to the main force, shrinking its forces to fight against the Wang and Li coalition forces, and also took the opportunity to attack the Li Mi army in the middle with the main force. Seeing this scene, Li Mi was so anxious that his black face turned white, and he couldn't bear to shout: "Go and sue Pei Renji, give him a pillar of incense time, gather the army, and continue to attack the left flank of the Xiaoguo army!" If you can't do that, I want his head! ”

yelled and gave an order, and the bad news suddenly came, the southern front flew to report that Wang Bodang had been seriously injured on the battlefield, and at the same time, because Wang Bodang's army scouts listened to rumors that Li Mi had been captured by the Xiaoguo army, the Wang Bodang army, which was shaken by the army's heart, had been forced to retreat, and Li Ke's army took the opportunity to counterattack and bite the tail of Wang Bodang's army, causing Wang Bodang's army to be in a very dangerous situation. Li Mi was even more furious when he heard this, and shouted: "Sue Wang Bodang, his teacher is still good, tell him to resolutely resist me, the southern front must not be defeated!" ”

Worse news followed, hearing that Yang Defang had been defeated by the Sui cavalry, and the Sui cavalry had approached fifteen miles from Jinyong City, Li Mi not only landed with a horsewhip in his hand, but also almost fell off his horse and fainted on the spot, and suddenly there was only one thought left in his mind, and he said secretly: "It's over!" As soon as the Chen thief cavalry appears on the battlefield of Jinyong City, it will blow the morale of our army and embolden the Xiaoguo army, we will lose! ”

At the same time, Wang Shichong also received the news of the approaching cavalry of the Sui army sent by the rear army of the Eastern Capital, and like Li Mi, he was almost not frightened by the news. My cavalry has all been brought here by me, and there is no cavalry in the eastern capital city to stop Chen Thief's cavalry, ask him what to do?! Also, send an order to the whole army to move closer to my banner! ”

Wang Shichong ordered the officers and men of the whole army to move closer to his handsome banner, of course, he was preparing for defeat and fleeing for his life, and in fact Li Mi was already doing this - quietly ordering the cavalry and elite infantry of the inner army to move closer to his handsome banner. When Wang Shichong's envoy came to Li Mi's face, Li Mi only thought about it for less than three seconds, and immediately ordered: "Go back to the camp and give Yuwen Wen an order, let him bring all the jewels in our camp, and immediately stop the Chen thief cavalry, how to explain how to apologize and let Yuwen Wen watch it, but no matter what, let the Chen thief cavalry stop advancing, and don't appear on the battlefield of Jinyong City at this time!" ”

"Duke Wei, it's too late!" Chai Xiaohe next to him hurriedly reminded: "Before, the Chen thief cavalry was only fifteen miles away from here, if they came by horse, they would be able to reach the battlefield of Jinyong City in a pillar of incense at most!" ”

"Try your luck." Li Mi looked miserable and said, "Anyway, if you lose this battle, those gold, silver and jewelry can't be saved." ”

"Then the lower official will go to intercept the Chen thief cavalry first, explain the plea to them, and buy time for Yuwenwen as much as possible."

Chai Xiaohe hurriedly volunteered, Li Mi nodded, Chai Xiaohe no longer hesitated, led a few cavalry escorts and left the battlefield, Pegasus went to plead Chen Fuliang cavalry to stop. Li Mi turned to Wang Shichong's envoy who was waiting next to him, and said to him: "Go and tell Wang Shichong, how did I do it, his distance is close, if he is the same as me, our hope may be greater, Yun Dingxing is greedy and shameless, there is a little hope for this." ”

Wang Shichong's envoy promised, Pegasus went back to report to Wang Shichong, Wang Shichong did not hesitate, and immediately shouted: "Go back to the city to give my eldest brother an order, let him immediately send a generous gift to the army of Yun Dingxing's old horseman, begging them to stop advancing and not enter the battlefield of Jinyong City!" Remember to tell my brother, you must not be stingy this time, at this time, our main force will be finished! Also, ask Wang Junkuo to withdraw it for me! ”

At the same time, with Wang Shichong and Li Mi taking the initiative to gather troops, the situation on the battlefield of Jinyongcheng gradually stabilized, and the Xiaoguo army took the opportunity of the weakening offensive of the Wang-Li coalition army to also take the opportunity to shrink its forces, and gradually condensed into a group to confront the Wang-Li coalition army, and the three warring parties had lost hope of quickly defeating the opponent, and the Xiaoguo army, which was severely wounded, could not last, and it would be difficult to win the victory even if the stalemate continued, even if it did not collapse--this qiΔ“ must be built on the basis that the Sui army in Guanzhong would no longer continue to intervene.

The most glorious moment of General Yun's life has finally come, and after achieving the pinnacle of brazenness, General Yun Lao's current command of 10,000 second-line troops has become the decisive force in the super-large-scale decisive battle of the 130,000 troops in Jinyong City, if he stands on the side of Wang Shichong and Li Mi to attack the Xiaoguo Army, the Xiaoguo Army will naturally be defeated, if he stands on the side of the Xiaoguo Army, he will immediately become Marshal BlΓΌcher on the Waterloo battlefield, so that Li Mi and Wang Shichong will both become Napoleon on the Waterloo battlefield! Who wins and who loses, who lives and who dies, has become our old general Yun's final say!

What absolutely made Li Mi and Wang Shichong unbelievable was that the Sui cavalry led by Xian Yuzhen unexpectedly stopped advancing after only ten miles away from Jinyong City, so that when Chai Xiao and Kuaima rushed to the scene, they couldn't believe their eyes at all, and then, when Chai Xiaohe stepped forward and bowed and explained that it was just a misunderstanding, Xian Yuzhen replied unexpectedly: "I also know that it was a misunderstanding, I was forced to fight back, just now, I have sent someone to report to General Yun Lao, ask him to decide, The rear army led by his old man himself is also almost here, and I am waiting for his order. ”

After Chai Xiaohe breathed a sigh of relief, it didn't take long for Yuwen Wen and Wang Xuanshu to rush to Xian Yu Qianjun with a speed fast enough to run to the death of the war horse, and on behalf of Li Mi and Wang Shichong, they presented Xian Yuzhen with a generous gift that was enough to make any of the ministers and magnates blush, while explaining the misunderstanding, while imploring the Sui army in Guanzhong not to interfere in the battlefield of Jinyongcheng, Xian Yuzhen accepted these generous gifts without hesitation, and then told the envoy of the second army of King Li that he must wait for the rear army order of General Yun Lao before making a decision.

In fact, the 7,000 infantry led by General Yun Lao personally did not go fast when they first set off, and only after receiving the news that Jinyongcheng had started a battle did they order to speed up their advance, and then after receiving the battle report that they received a rare battle report, General Yun Lao ordered the whole army to advance at full speed, and rushed to the Jinyongcheng battlefield in a hurry, and arrived at the Jinyongcheng battlefield ten miles in the afternoon of the same day. and Xian Yu quality will be in the same place.

Ignoring Chai Xiaohe and the others who flocked up to bow, General Yun first ordered them to be pushed aside, and then couldn't wait to ask Xian Yu about the latest battle situation in Jinyong City, and after learning that the three armies had become a stalemate again, General Yun did not hesitate, and immediately thanked the Wang and Li families for their heavy gifts, and then hummed and chirped: "Please return to General Shichong and Mr. Dharma Master, please rest assured, the old man knows that it was just a misunderstanding before, and he will not use this as an excuse to start a war against them, will not spare the culture of killing kings and rebelling against thieves. The soldiers under the old man's command have worked hard from afar, and they need to rest, so let's talk about other things later. ”

The vague and ambiguous answer made Chai Xiaohe and Wang Xuanshu and others listen to the fire, but at this critical moment, Chai Wang and the others did not dare to turn their faces with General Yun, so they could only agree, and at the same time sent someone to report the situation to Wang Shichong and Li Mifei, but our old general Yun suddenly turned to Luoyang City, and said to Wang Xuanshu with a smile: "Xuanshu Xian nephew, there is something to remind you, the army left in Luoyang by your army, it is best not to go out of the city to the north, otherwise, our army may be forced to move the garrison for its own safety." ”

Glancing at the old general Yun with great resentment, Wang Xuanshu replied reluctantly: "Old general, please rest assured, we will not send troops, if we send troops, where will we wait for the old general and your rear army to arrive?" ”

"Don't be an empty favor, can your infantry outrun the old man's cavalry?" Old General Yun sneered and said the confessional words that made Wang Xuanshu close his mouth even more.

At this moment, the Xiaoguo army was actually exhausted, but because General Yun's army had arrived near the battlefield, the Wang Li coalition army, which was also tired enough, was neither capable of breaking the Xiaoguo army with one blow, nor daring to risk the sudden intervention of General Yunlao, and dispatched the camp and the defenders in the city to launch a strong attack again. After receiving General Yun's reply, Wang Shichong and Li Mi immediately understood everything, and they all shook their heads and sighed: "I underestimate this old man too shamelessly, he doesn't want us, let alone help Yu Wenhua, he just wants us to lose all three, he takes the opportunity to reap the benefits." This point really made this old puppet do it. ”

No matter how much you regret it, it's too late, after most of the day's fierce fighting, Wang Shichong's troop losses have exceeded 13,000 people, nearly half of the troops, and the same is true of the elite backbone Huainan elite soldiers, who only have about 4,000 people left, and most of them are scarred; Li Mi's losses were even more terrible, the casualties had already exceeded 20,000, and the losses of the cavalry of the ace army exceeded 3,000 -- because of the fierce battle that rushed into the formation, more than ten fierce generals such as Pei Xingyan, Sun Changle, and Shan Xiongxin were injured, among which Sun Changle was also cut off from his right arm and was hit by eight arrows, and there was almost no hope of being saved, and most of the elite infantry were lost, and the rest were all exhausted, unable to fight again, and the blood could not be shed again.

Of course, the casualties of the Xiaoguo army were also huge, and at the same time, the Xiaoguo army had obviously discovered that General Yun Lao had come to the vicinity of the battlefield, and had sent envoys from Jinyong City several times in a row to try to get in touch with General Yun Lao. As a last resort, Li Mi and Wang Shichong could only hurriedly bump heads on the battlefield, and unanimously decided to collect their troops and return to the city and return to the camp, and not to risk continuing to fight - the old shameless threat of General Yun is too great, as long as his army comes forward, there is no need to do it himself, and those Xiaoguo troops will also rush up and smash the Wang and Li coalition forces to smithereens.

When the golden gong sounded, the two armies of Wang Shichong and Li Mi, who had already gathered into a group, immediately retreated, and the Xiaoguo army, which was so tired that it could not even stand on its feet, no longer had the strength to pursue, and after a symbolic pursuit of a little distance, they sat on the blood-soaked snowfield to gasp, and many soldiers also fell asleep directly on the corpses - tired and sick, tortured by severe cold, these poor Xiaoguo soldiers, and many people never woke up on the bloody snowfield.

Brother Hua Ji, who had already left the Shuai Qi to hide in Jinyong City, also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly sent an envoy out of the city, begging General Yun Lao to help him take the opportunity to attack Li Mijun's camp. However, what Brother Hua Ji probably never dreamed of was that before his envoy could pass through the blockade and see General Yun, as soon as he found out that Li Mi and Wang Shichong had collected their troops, General Yun Lao had already ordered with a smile: "Order the whole army, withdraw to Xin'an, and then give the guest master an order, let him also withdraw to Xin'an immediately, and I will answer him in Cijian." ”

"Old general, is this the end?" Xian Yuzhen hurriedly asked in a low voice: "At this time, Li Mi, Wang Shichong, Yu Wenhua and the three-way thief army have all suffered heavy casualties and are exhausted, if we do it at this time, we can at least destroy the thief army all the way?" ”

"Rabbits bite even when they're in a hurry." General Yun replied with a sneer: "Don't forget, Wang Shichong has the defenders of the Eastern Capital, Li Mi has the defenders of the camp, Hua and Xian nephews also have the defenders of Jinyong City, these are all new forces, and they can all pose a threat to us. Besides, even if we can destroy one of the thieves at any cost, it will only be cheaper for the other two thieves, and it will be in our best interest to keep them in check and let them continue to contain each other. ”

Xian Yuzhen woke up and nodded, General Yun patted him on the shoulder again, and said with a smile: "Wait for the reward and promotion, after today's battle, not to mention that it is impossible for these three-way thief army to join forces to attack us again, even if they really join forces, just General He Yanyu and General Liu Heimin behind us are enough to easily clean them up, and the complex task that Prime Minister Chen Cheng gave us has been completed today." The war in the Eastern Capital is over today, and no one can threaten the security of our Eastern Front anymore. ”

Xian Yuzhen nodded again, and said sincerely: "Fighting big with small, defeating strong with weak, our army can win today's situation, it is really thanks to the old general's divine might." ”

After that, Xian Yuzhen added in his heart, "Your old man's cheeky magic skills are indeed invincible in the world." ”――1080+dmth+19179093――>
