The scorching sun is in the sky, under the scorching sun, the brutal fierce battle is in full swing, the Zhai Li coalition army, which occupies a certain advantage in terms of overall strength, has always maintained the offensive against the Sui army in the eastern capital by virtue of its strength advantage, and also by virtue of the innate advantage of the offensive formation, and has the upper hand in the three battlefields of the front and both wings.

Fortunately, the formation is not conducive to the attack, but it means that the defense is strong, the elite of the Sui army in the eastern capital with the old with the new, with the elite veterans as the backbone, supplemented by the formation of strictly trained recruits, although the fight is difficult, but it can barely be supported, although the offensive of the Zhai Li coalition army, which occupies an absolute advantage in numbers, is fierce, and the number of offensive forces invested is also quite large, but it has never been able to break through the Sui army to intercept, break into the Sui army's circle formation, and the battle situation is in a stalemate, At the same time, the Sui army and cavalry team with the strongest combat effectiveness in the eastern capital have never been dispatched, and there is still a chance to turn the situation around, and the victory or defeat of the battlefield is still inconclusive.

At noon, the Sui army in the eastern capital, which was at a disadvantage, finally made an adjustment, so that the Baoguo army in front of the flag array moved forward, crossed the ordinary Sui cavalry led by Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin, and moved to the rear of the frontal battlefield where the fighting was the most tragic. The generals and soldiers of the Zhai Li coalition army, who were fighting hard with the infantry of the Sui army on the opposite side, also quickly discovered this situation, and their nervous shouts immediately echoed on the battlefield, "Be careful, the white-robed soldiers are here!" The white-robed soldiers of the official army are here! ”

White-robed soldiers! I don't know how many times this resounding name has echoed on the battlefield in the eastern capital of Luoyang, the earliest can be traced back to eighty-eight years ago, when there was a nursery rhyme for this name - the famous army general Mo Zijiao, thousands of troops avoid white robes! More than eighty years later, four years ago, this name and this nursery rhyme resounded through Luoyang and China again, becoming synonymous with undefeated, becoming a symbol of victory, and four years later, this name has not only never been associated with defeat, but has also become an almost terrifying existence, no enemy is willing to fight these white-robed madmen, and no enemy has the courage to stand on the opposite side of these madmen!

"Be careful! Watch out for surprise attacks! Pei Renji, the front-line commander of the Zhai-Li coalition army, was also affected, and as soon as he saw the appearance of the Baoguo army, he immediately shouted, "Line up in the rear, prepare for the rejection of horse guns, prepare for swords and axes, and guard against the surprise attack of the cavalry of the official army!" The white-robed soldiers rushed up, and the front army was scattered left and right, changing the rear team to resist! The order went down, and when the white-robed soldiers charged, the front army was scattered left and right, and they were absolutely not allowed to retreat and run back! Violators will be beheaded! ”

What does it mean to be cowardly before you fight? Seeing the appearance of the Baoguo army that had killed people on the battlefield of Luokoucang like mowing grass, the generals and soldiers of the Zhai Li coalition army on the front line were already cowardly, and then heard Pei Renji's order that they did not have any confidence at all, the Zhai and Li coalition army was even more panicked, the rear team hurriedly lined up a dense formation, and the front team subconsciously looked left and right, looking for a way to escape, and on the contrary, the Sui army was full of joy, morale, confidence was suddenly greatly increased, and it also took the opportunity to recapture a lot of positions, which won a lot of space for the charge and raid of the national army.

Fortunately for the Zhai Li coalition army, seeing that the Baoguo army was about to launch a charge at the critical moment, Zhai Rang personally came up with the reserves, more than 1,000 Wagang veterans who had followed Zhai Rang for many years to fight in the south and north, plus 3,000 well-equipped Wagang elite soldiers, quickly put into the frontal battlefield, and joined the battle before the Baoguo army charged with its strength, withstood the counterattack of the Sui army's infantry, and also relied on the advantage of abundant body to rush and fight wildly, desperately compressing the position space of the Sui army in the eastern capital, under the pressure greatly increased, Chen Fuliang did not dare to order the frontal infantry to scatter left and right at will, can only let the infantry continue to hard top, forced to give up the plan to let the Baoguo army charge and raid - at least Zhai Rang and Li Mi think so.

Taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the real killer of the Zhai-Li coalition army was dispatched, and the cavalry of the Zhai-Li coalition army, which numbered more than 3,000, was dispatched under the leadership of Shan Xiongxin, the famous general of the Wagang cavalry, and took a detour through the open land in the south under the cover of dust and smoke, hills and trees, and gradually detoured back to the only rear of the Sui army's circle formation that was not attacked by the enemy, and the commander of the Sui army, Chen Fuliang, only paid attention to the front front of the critical battle situation, and never noticed this action of the Zhai-Li coalition army......

They are all about to return to the rear front of the Sui army's round formation, and the Sui army in the eastern capital has not made any adjustments, and Mulan, who accompanied Shan Xiongxin to fight, was so anxious that her palms were a little sweaty, but the more she worried, the more critical the situation became, and Sun Changle, the cavalry general of Li Mi's army on the other side, suddenly pointed to the rear of the Sui army and shouted: "General Shan, look, the banner of the invincible battalion!" ”

Looking in the direction pointed out by Sun Changle, Shan Xiongxin's face showed a happy smile, the front position behind the Sui army formation, indeed flying high The notorious military flag of the invincible battalion, those Sui soldiers with bright armor under the military flag, are still as chaotic and scattered as ever, there are steps and horses, the infantry are in groups of three or five, and the cavalry is not in a queue, mixed in the infantry crowd, and behind them, there is no Sui army reserve to block it, and you can directly see the evil Chen Zi banner.

"It's over, little thief Chen, I can't help you." Mulan muttered in despair.

"God help me." Shan Xiongxin laughed extremely happily and shouted: "Slow down, whole team, charge formation!" ”

The Zhai Li cavalry that rushed in a roundabout way quickly reined in the horse and slowed down, quickly regrouped in the deceleration, and directly lined up in a dense charging formation, and it was also at this time that the rear team of the Sui army in the eastern capital finally discovered the arrival of the Zhai Li cavalry, and the other Sui army formations were better, but the Sui army soldiers under the invincible battalion were in chaos, countless soldiers shouted and fled left and right, and directly drilled into the friendly army array next to them to seek protection, completely ignoring the fact that after they escaped, they had given way to the open road to the Sui army's flag array.

Seeing this scene, Mulan was of course unable to hide her despair, and the Zhai Li cavalry, who was trotting back to speed up, was of course almost everyone with a cruel smile on their faces, and the generals such as Shan Xiongxin and Sun Changle smiled even more happily, but the sinister smiles of Shan Xiongxin and Sun Changle and others quickly solidified on their faces, because they suddenly found that as the infantry of the invincible battalion fled left and right, the cavalry of the invincible battalion that was previously chaotic in the infantry gradually gathered into a group, and they also arranged a charge formation in a very natural and orderly manner.

What made Shan Xiongxin and the others stunned was still behind, those strange cavalrymen suddenly reached behind their backs, and they didn't know what actions they had made, and a white cloak suddenly appeared behind them, and an old military flag full of arrow holes also suddenly appeared in front of them, and the dragon flying and phoenix dancing on the military flag had four big characters - loyal to the country!

"White-robed soldiers!" Countless Zhai Li cavalry screamed in despair, "The white-robed soldiers of the official army, how can they be here?" ”

Shan Xiongxin, Mulan and others hurriedly stretched their necks to look at the distance ahead, and vaguely saw that there was also an official cavalry in white robes in front of them, Shan Xiongxin and Sun Changle and other generals were a little puzzled for a while, and they didn't understand why there were two **** suddenly in the official army array? Mulan, who was familiar with Chen Fuliang's bad character, immediately realized that when she was relaxed, Mulan couldn't help but laugh and scold in a low voice, "Here you go again, stinky liar!" ”

With a cruel smile, the **** also began to trot up, Guo Feng, Chen Ci and Zhao Yu, the three captains who had already been in the official residence from the fourth grade, and the new captain Yu Le, who was newly promoted by Chen Fuliang, all laughed fiercely, and looked at Zhai Li's cavalry with a cold and relaxed gaze, so cold as if he was looking at a group of lambs to be slaughtered, and it was as if he was not on the battlefield of life and death, but in pleasure and hunting. - After all, compared to the enemies they had encountered before, the Zhai Li cavalry opposite them this time was too small in number, and too weak in number.

The speed of Zhai Li's cavalry is slowing down, but the speed of the horse's hooves is gradually accelerating, with Guo Feng's nine-ring ghost head knife raised, the army of the country broke out in a neat shout when it was neutral, although the number is less than 800 people, the momentum is comparable to thousands of horses, at the same time, the war horses of the **** are also speeding up, running like a dragon and a leopard, the white robe fluttering and fluttering the flag, fast as lightning, without any discount, straight into the crowd of Zhai Li's cavalry, an earth-shattering cavalry battle, also unfolded behind the Sui army.

Shan Xiongxin is a brave general and a famous cavalry general, after many years of riding career, Shan Xiongxin, who rarely meets opponents, has long been confident that he will never lose to any enemy in the cavalry battle, but today, Shan Xiongxin's self-confidence has been completely shattered, and it was smashed all of a sudden, between the collision of the two armies, Shan Xiongxin first encountered a **** general with a familiar copper stick in his hand, Shan Xiongxin, who is good at horse lance, stood up the weapon he relied on to become famous, and went straight to the heart of this **** general, but what made Shan Xiongxin never dreamed of it was that The enemy not only did not do any dodging, but also directly picked up the cooked copper stick and smashed it into his head, the copper stick broke the wind, it was unbelievably fast, Leng Shengsheng's hair came first, and smashed to his ear first, Shan Xiongxin subconsciously lowered his head, and the copper stick directly smashed his helmet, and his horse lance was also stabbed.

What made Shan Xiongxin unbelievable was still behind, that smashed a stick into the air, and he crossed the wrong horse, and even returned a stick, from an unimaginable angle, smashed on the back buttocks of his war horse, the hard horse bones were shattered in response, the war horse was in pain and ran wildly, carrying Shan Xiongxin crazy like a run, Shan Xiongxin desperately manipulated the war horse, while desperately dodging the **** soldiers' knives, guns, axes, and sticks, during which Shan Xiongxin was hit by two shots and a knife, and finally escaped from the battlefield by luck, fled to the open place of the battlefield, and then quickly turned back to observe the battlefield. Shan Xiongxin was stunned for a moment.

The reason why Shan Xiongxin was stunned was that his army had been pierced, and the **** was like a sharp steel knife piercing into tofu, easily piercing his more than 3,000 cavalry to the bottom, entering from the beginning and coming out from the end, where the white robe passed, Zhai Li cavalry turned over on their backs, corpses were all over the ground, and countless wounded Zhai Li cavalry were still spinning in circles on the battlefield, either they couldn't restrain the injured war horses, or they couldn't believe that there was such a thing in this world. But those white-robed demons ignored this, their horses' hooves did not stop, and after making a half-circle to the west to the north, they actually came towards Zhai Li's cavalry again.

There was no suspense, the Baoguo army was once again like a red-hot fork inserted into the cheese, directly penetrating the waist of Zhai Li's cavalry, although the cavalry of the thief army who was hit resisted hard, but still could not stop the wild rush of these white-robed madmen, many cavalry had been cut into pieces before they fell off their horses, and they died a miserable death. It was also at this time that Zhai Li's cavalry woke up and down like a dream, screaming and slapping their horses and fleeing. The arrogant Mulan was also stammering at the moment, she had long heard of the power of the Baoguo Army, but she never dreamed that the Baoguo Army could be so powerful, and when she saw Zhai Li's cavalry scattering and fleeing, Mulan once had the idea of taking the opportunity to meet Chen Fuliang, but she saw that the unknown Sui cavalry was pouring out of the gap left by the invincible camp, blocking the way into the battle, and remembered Shan Yingying in the Tiger Prison Pass, Mulan gritted her teeth, and still slapped her horse and rushed to Shan Xiongxin, who was already injured on the war horse.

"Brother, let's go! We've been tricked! Don't fight with these white-robed madmen, these madmen's war horse equipment is several times stronger than ours, and they are notoriously fatal when they fight, and we have no chance of winning when we fight them! ”

Changed to usual, hearing Mulan's words, Shan Xiongxin had to scold his brother-in-law for being bloody, but today is different, Shan Xiongxin, who has already seen the ruthlessness of the national army, heard this, and nodded without hesitation, and with the help of his brother-in-law, he worked hard to manipulate the injured horse, and fled to the main camp with Mulan.

The Jedi counterattack of the Sui army began, still with the famous Baoguo Army as the vanguard, with the Sui cavalry led by Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin, detoured to the south of the right flank of the Sui army's round array, and directly attacked the flank of Yang Jishan's army of the Zhai Li coalition army that was storming the right flank of the Sui army, and the target was also directly pointed to Yang Jishan's banner.

If it is replaced by a battle in a formation and is fully prepared for frontal interception, then the thief army under the command of Yang Jishan may be sure to be able to withstand the impact of the Baoguo army, but now there is no longer this hope, and under the right wing of the Sui army, although Yang Jishan's army also has a certain amount of defense on the flank of the army, the defensive force is obviously insufficient. There is no big threat to the well-equipped army that makes the Imperial Forest Army red, and the iron cavalry of the **** is driven straight into the waist of Yang Jishanjun again.

The moment to test Yang Jishan's command ability and courage came, but at this critical moment, he saw that the official army who had entered the flank was the white-robed newspaper ****, and Yang Jishan, who had already had five brothers who died tragically under the knife of this group of white-robed madmen, his first reaction was not to try to restrain the team to intercept and attack, but immediately remembered the scene when he fought with the Baoguo army before, remembered the miserable past when he led tens of thousands of troops and still failed miserably in front of these more than 800 white-robed maniacs, and remembered that he led 50,000 troops with his brother to fight against this group of madmen, but he lost so much that even his brother was captured alive, and he remembered the nursery rhyme that everyone in Luoyang sang eighty-eight years ago......

The army of famous generals is not imprisoned, and thousands of troops avoid white robes!

"General Yang, General Yang." The anxious shouts of his subordinates on the left and right pulled Yang Jishan back to reality from the terrifying memories of the past, "General Yang, the white-robed soldiers are directly killing us, what should we do?" ”

I glanced up at the battlefield situation, and saw that the **** soldiers were like chopping melons and vegetables to kill themselves, and I saw that the soldiers of the self-army were wantonly slaughtered like lambs, chickens and ducks in front of these white-robed madmen, and the Sui cavalry behind them who could not see the end at a glance, just this glance, Yang Jishan let out a desperate scream, screaming, Yang Jishan, who has always been known for his bravery, turned his horse's head, slapped the war horse and took the lead in fleeing in the direction of the formation, and was shocked left and right, and subconsciously turned the horse and ran, led the surrounding thieves to flee for their lives, and the desperate cries also rose one after another among the thieves, "The white-robed soldiers are here!" Run! ”

The Baoguo army only used one charge, Yang Jishan's Chinese army collapsed on its own, and the rear army behind, as well as the front army that was fighting with the Sui army in front, also collapsed, all of them were defeated and lost by the fear of the unknown, many soldiers didn't know why they ran, why did the self-army lose? It's just that I saw countless companions running for their lives, and subconsciously ran away, because there was only one thought left in their hearts, and if they didn't run fast, they would have to hit the ground.

Yang Jishan's army collapsed so suddenly, not only Yan zhòng hit the morale of the Zhai and Li coalition army, but also made the Zhai and Li coalition army fall into complete chaos, Zhai Rang, who was personally commanding the troops, didn't know what happened, and Li Mi, who was sitting in the flag formation and commanding, didn't understand why Yang Jishan, who had lived and died together for many years, suddenly retreated, seeing Yang Jishan's defeated army surging like a tide, the well-informed Li Mi couldn't help but be dizzy and yelled, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? Why did Yang Jishan suddenly collapse? ”

The iconic white-robed shirt told Li Mi the answer, and when he finally saw that the official army that took the lead in chasing and killing Yang Jishan's defeated soldiers was a white-robed cavalry, Li Mi suddenly realized, and then turned his head and saw that there was still a white-robed cavalry in the Sui army's formation, Li Mi immediately slapped his forehead and screamed, "This duke has been tricked again!" Ben Gong was deceived by habit! When I saw someone wearing a white robe, I thought it was a newspaper ****, but I didn't expect it at all, even if it was a group of recruits wearing white robes, it looked exactly the same as serving the country army from a distance! ”

It was too late to find out that the plan was too late, in the case of no preparation, the cavalry of the thief army under the command of Shan Xiongxin and the thief army of Yang Jishan were successively defeated by the sudden appearance of the Baoguo army, and the defeated soldiers fled eastward like a tide, and the fear of the psychology continued to amplify like a snowball, and the Wagang army closest to Yang Jishan, Zhai Rang, Pei Renji and other units were the first to be affected, and the top and bottom were puzzled by the sudden collapse and defeat of Yang Jishan's army, and they were also frightened by the defeated soldiers of the self-army who fled all over the mountains, and they had no fighting spirit at all. The Zhai and Li coalition forces were also doomed to a great defeat in this battle.

Although the Zhai and Li coalition army can be said to be defeated by their own fear psychology, but every Sui army soldier is absolutely indispensable, seeing the sudden collapse and defeat of the local enemy, the Sui army is inevitably high morale, confidence greatly increased, and then received Chen Fuliang's counteroffensive order, the Sui army officers and soldiers also worked harder to kill, regardless of fatigue and pain, just stepped forward with all their strength, slashed and killed the enemy in front of them, and beat the already psychologically shaken enemy more frightened, more demoralized, in order to survive and flee for their lives, Many of the thieves ran away, driving more of their companions to turn around and flee for their lives, and the generals of the big and small thief armies couldn't restrain them, so they simply joined the escape team.

The defeat was like a mountain, Zhai Rang and Pei Renji's soldiers and horses could not bear it no matter how elite they were, plus Zhai Rang already had the intention of preserving his strength, seeing that the situation was not good, Zhai Rang simply ordered a retreat, and fled east with the elite soldiers who were barely formed, and even the Xu Shiyun army, which was gaining the upper hand on the left flank of the Sui army, was also defeated.

Seeing this picture in the flag array, Li Mi's face was of course so blue that it was almost pitch black, but the house leak happened to rain overnight, and it happened that at this time, a fast horse suddenly rushed into the thief army flag array, and the knight didn't dare to make a loud noise, but walked quickly to Li Mi's side, attached to Li Mi's ear and whispered: "Duke Wei, the big thing is not good, Wang Shichong suddenly sent troops to attack our camp." ”

Wang Shichong sent troops to feint to distract himself, which was expected by Li Mi as early as this time, and only received the news of Wang Shichong's attack at this time, which was already a good thing - the treacherous and slippery Wang Shichong must have confirmed that the Sui army in the eastern capital did launch a battle with the Zhai and Li coalition forces before sending out the troops, but when things came to a step, Li Mi couldn't guard against Wang Shichong's sudden force and really launched a strong attack - with Wang Shichong's treacherous and shameless, once he received the news of the defeat of the Zhai and Li coalition army, It is inevitable that he will have the intention of taking advantage of the fire to loot, and take advantage of the low morale and unstable morale of the Zhai-Li coalition army to launch a real attack.

"Collect the troops, and preserve the strength first." Shaking his head helplessly, Li Mi ordered: "Inform the generals from all walks of life, let them go east with all their strength and withdraw to the Tiger Prison Pass, and I will lead the Chinese army and the rear army." ”

Soon after the sun began to set westward, the menacing Zhai and Li coalition army had begun to retreat in an all-round way, in addition to the Chinese army and the rear army led by Li Mi still maintained the formation and retreated slowly, the Zhai and Li coalition army that had once beaten the Sui army in the eastern capital could not raise its head collapsed on all fronts, and tens of thousands of thieves fled for their lives, fleeing all over the mountains and fields, defeated and unable to form an army, and thousands of thief soldiers who surrendered directly to the ground, the Sui army in the eastern capital counterattacked on the whole line, pursued by victory, and chased the Sui army team at the forefront, is still the most loyal and brave army under Chen Fuliang.

But it's a pity that there are less than 700 **** soldiers left at the time of the attack of 788 people, and hundreds of loyal **** soldiers are wearing their iconic white robes, and they have closed their eyes forever on the battlefield full of corpses. The iconic white-robed shirt told Li Mi the answer, and when he finally saw that the official army that took the lead in chasing and killing Yang Jishan's defeated soldiers was a white-robed cavalry, Li Mi suddenly realized, and then turned his head and saw that there was still a white-robed cavalry in the Sui army's formation, Li Mi immediately slapped his forehead and screamed, "This duke has been tricked again!"
