Chapter 438: The Four Families Go to War

Although there are also such clever strokes as preemptively attacking to prevent Wang Shichong's army from successfully arraying, strictly speaking, Sima Dejiao, who actually commanded this decisive battle, is not a handsome talent, he can only be an excellent general, who can charge into battle and can also use some contingency tactics, but he is lackluster in coordinating the overall situation and using the armies of various services, especially the cavalry team with the greatest advantage of the Xiaoguo army, which gave the Wang Li coalition army too many opportunities to use its strengths and avoid its weaknesses.

The same is true when Li Mi quietly launched a surprise attack, Sun Changle's 5,000 infantry slowly advanced, and two cavalry of 1,000 people attacked left and right, harassing and covering, even if the experienced commander couldn't guess Li Mi's true purpose, he should also send a cavalry with absolute superiority, storm one of the two harassing cavalry of Li Mi's army, quickly defeat it, and then find an opportunity to impact the flank or back of Li Mi's infantry, and eat Li Mi's attacking team little by little, However, Sima Dejiao chose to send two cavalry of the same size to meet the two cavalry of Li Mi's army separately, and ordered the infantry to stabilize their positions and meet the infantry of Li Mi's army with a strong formation.

It can't be said that Sima Dejiao did something wrong, the left flank of the Xiaoguo army actually has the upper hand, and the Chinese army conserves its strength by defending instead of attacking, and after Fan Wenchao and other generals on the left flank defeat Pei Renji, they can free up their hands to jointly attack Li Mi's main force of the Chinese army. However, Sima Dejiao's seemingly not too bad and prudent choice brought opportunities to Li Mi and the danger of defeat to his own army.

The biggest danger of the Xiaoguo Army is, of course, Zhang Tong'er, who brought his own dry food to Li Mi for 7 √, although the current situation of the Xiaoguo Army is quite good on the whole, and it is not without hope of winning to maintain it, but Zhang Tong'er's handwritten begging letter is being pinched in Li Mi's hand, and it can be taken out at any time to ask for Zhang Tong'er's life, and several direct subordinates and ten captains who actually command the army have already been contacted, knowing that Zhang Tong'er is ready to rebel, and may leak the news at any time, bringing disaster to Zhang Tong'er, So when he saw Li Mijun's infantry slowly approaching the position of his own army, Zhang Tong'er was immediately forced into a corner where he had to make a choice.

Firmly holding the position, resolutely blocking the infantry of Li Mi's army, and the herald who conveyed Sima Deji's military order had just left, several of his fellow villagers came up and scrambled to ask Zhang Tong'er in a low voice: "General, what should I do?" Hands-on? ”

With a gloomy face, he looked at the infantry of Li Mi's army slowly approaching in front of him, and then looked back at the Huahe brother flag array behind him, under the flag array, a large number of Xiaoguo army cavalry were waiting in line, Zhang Tong'er's expression was even more hesitant - this is a risk with his head tied to his trouser belt, and it is really not good not to hesitate. Several subordinates next to him were inevitably even more anxious when they saw it, and they all urged: "General, it's time to make an idea, and it's too late if you don't decide whether to do it or not." ”

"Get ready, wait for my orders." Zhang Tong'er replied in a hoarse voice, and her heart continued to turn over the river and the sea, and cold sweat also soaked into her forehead in the cold wind.

The cavalry of the Li Mi Army led by Yang Defang and Zheng Detao was fighting with the cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army, and the Li Mi infantry led by Sun Changle was also slowly advancing, although the marching speed was slow, but it was gradually approaching the range of Zhang Tong'er's bow and arrows, and when Zhang Tong'er was becoming more and more hesitant and nervous, Sun Changle's army suddenly rushed out of the back, and the white flag and fast horse rushed towards the position of Zhang Tong'er's army. Not yet, but when? The promise you sent an envoy to Duke Wei is not true? ”

Hearing the shouting, the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army were in an uproar, and Zhang Tong'er had no choice at all, so he could only raise his knife and yell: "Brothers in Jiangdong, the time has come to make a move, all turn around and charge, kill Yu Wenhua and the traitors, and return to Jiangdong's hometown!" ”

"All U-turn!" More than a dozen of Zhang Tong'er's comrades shouted loudly one after another, shouting: "Turn around and charge, kill Yu Wenhua and the traitors, and go back to Jiangdong's hometown!" ”

Zhang Tong'er's army was in chaos without a fight in an instant, and some of the soldiers immediately turned around or reflexively turned around under the requirements of the military order, and pointed their guns at the Huahe Brother Banner Formation that was in the rear, but most of the soldiers were dizzy and at a loss, their eyes widened and they couldn't believe that this qiē was true. Sun Changlejun took the opportunity to charge, shouted and strode forward, and quickly rushed to the front of Zhang Tong'er's army with almost no bow and arrow suppression.

The military formation of the Xiaoguo Army, which was originally quite neat, also appeared in chaos in an instant, and countless Xiaoguo Army soldiers were stunned, and Brother Hua Ji, who was yawning on the handsome chair wrapped in a bearskin blanket, also jumped up directly, exclaiming: "What's wrong?" Zhang Tong'er, why is it suddenly messed up? ”

At this time, Zhang Tong'er had already led a part of the army under the command to launch a shouting charge, brandishing a fierce direct impact of the sword and gun and the brother flag array, Sun Changle's army quickly broke the dizzy remnants of Zhang Tong'er's army, followed by Zhang Tong'er directly rushed into the Xiaoguo military array, and then the Li Mijun ace cavalry behind was overjoyed, and did not hesitate to charge.

The situation on the battlefield where the Xiaoguo army had a slight upper hand was suddenly reversed, and the Xiaoguo army on the left and right flanks saw the sudden change in the Chinese army, and they were distracted and distracted, and the army was flustered, while Wang Shichong and Pei Renji and other troops were greatly boosted in morale, and the army was excited, and immediately launched a counterattack on the spot, killing the panicked Xiaoguo army to the point that it was difficult to parry, and almost in the blink of an eye, they had the upper hand.

At the same time, Li Mi did not hesitate to give the order for a general attack, beat the drums of the charge, and personally led the main force of the Chinese army to storm the position of the Chinese army. And Hua and Brother and Sima Dejiao and others did not wake up from a dream until this moment, and quickly ordered the cavalry to step forward to stop the traitor Zhang Tong'er, trying to plug the gap to gain time, but the cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army who attacked in a hurry could not give full play to the advantage of the charge, and before the war horse could exert its strength, it had already encountered Zhang Tong'er's army, Zhang Tong'er took the opportunity to rush into the gap between the cavalry with the infantry, stabbed people and cut horses, and the cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army was difficult to parry, and then Sun Changle also rushed to the front with the army, cooperated with Zhang Tong'er to be ruthless to the Xiaoguo army that was in a hurry.

The balance of victory began to tilt towards the Wang and Li coalition army, and the Xiaoguo army affected by Zhang Tong'er's mutiny was in chaos, not to mention the general attack of Li Mi's army with a strict formation, it was difficult to effectively command all armies and departments to meet the battle, especially the several Xiaoguo armies adjacent to Zhang Tong'er, which had to face the impact of the enemy and their own defeated army, and had to guard against the main force of Li Mi's army that was charging and killing, and they didn't know what to do. Li Mi's army, which successfully entered the Xiaoguo army's array from Zhang Tong'er's position, always maintained an intact formation, and constantly attacked the positions of the Xiaoguo army from behind in order to disperse, and responded to the main charge, and when Li Mi personally led the main force to rush to the front, several armies in the southeast corner of the Xiaoguo army also collapsed suddenly, and fled from top to bottom, and then disrupted the other Xiaoguo army positions.

Wang Shichong also did not hesitate to issue a general attack order, more than 20,000 Eastern generals with Huainan warriors as arrows, with infantry cavalry to beat the panicked Chen Zhiluo to the head of the rat, and then quickly crushed the same panicked Xiaoguo army infantry, driving them to the Hua and brother Chinese army to advance quickly. The situation on the left flank of Fan Wenchao and Meng Jing was slightly better, but they only barely maintained their defeat, and the morale of the army also declined rapidly.

The wind and snow are obviously a little bigger, and the battle situation is also much more unfavorable to the Xiaoguo army, although there are more than 10,000 cavalry around Hua and his brother, but the sudden collapse of the front army has compressed the charging space of the Xiaoguo army's cavalry, and the cavalry that can't rush up can't give full play to the advantage of the group charge, and can only step forward to block the enemy at the same speed as the infantry.

The most important thing in cold weapon combat is the morale of the army, the military heart is panicked, the morale declines, the weakness of the Xiaoguo army is also quickly exposed, and the soldiers of the Xiaoguo army who are no longer red-eyed to kill the enemy and thieves are in chaos, and the combat effectiveness is also declining as quickly as morale, and the generals and soldiers are all panicked, subconsciously looking for a way to escape, and no longer only want to defeat the enemy in front of them to regain their way back. The Wang-Li coalition army marched forward with great triumph, defeating the Xiaoguo army one after another, and gradually showing signs of complete collapse.

The battle has reached this point, Xiaoguo Army does not dare to say that the defeat is decided, basically as long as there is no accident, a fiasco is already doomed to be inevitable, Wang Shichong and Li Mi are well aware of this, so Li Mi and Wang Shichong couldn't help laughing wildly in the battle, "We have won!" ”

"Woo! Knock knock knock! ”

At the critical moment, an accident suddenly occurred, and the sound of war drums and horns suddenly came from the depths of the northwest mountain, and at the same time, there were three green and white wolf smoke straight into the sky, which quickly attracted the attention of many soldiers on the battlefield, Li Mi and Wang Shichong also quickly noticed this, and when they looked up, they saw the wolf smoke, and couldn't help but be flustered, and said secretly: "What are you doing with wolf smoke?" Is there an ambush? ”

There were really ambushes, and soon, there were about a colonel of cavalry rushing out of the mountains and forests with the banner of the Xiaoguo Army, and rushed to the flag formation where there were already only some drummers and trumpeters left, and the speed was still very fast, and the troops of Wang Li of the Xiaoguo Army were not able to stop it at all. Seeing this scene in the chaotic army, Brother Hua and Sima Dejiao and others were also dumbfounded, and exclaimed, "When did we ambush the army there?" Who laid out the ambush, how did I not know? ”

It doesn't matter who arranged the ambush, at the critical moment to see the ambush of the self-army suddenly appeared, although the number is very pitiful, but the officers and men of the Xiaoguo army who saw this situation were still greatly encouraged, and their morale rose and they no longer continued to collapse, and began to be able to resist the enemy's attack effectively. And that group of Xiaoguo cavalry, whether soldiers or war horses, were obviously carefully selected, the speed of the charge was amazingly fast, and the formation was always intact, Wang Shichong sent hundreds of infantry to block it in his busy schedule, and they were quickly bypassed, watching them rush towards the flag array left by Li Mi.

Although they were a little caught off guard, the few remaining defenders in Li Miqi's array still quickly lined up to intercept them, but before they could fight with the cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army, more than a dozen gunpowder bottles flew to their heads first, and their formation was chaotic between the gunpowder explosions, and the cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army also took the opportunity to rush through their positions, rushed to the Li Miqi array and quickly cut down many military flags, and then flew to the back of the main force of Li Mi's army.

The thunderous Li Mi rear army immediately turned around to meet the battle, but what stunned Li Mijun was that the cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army suddenly launched a man who looked like Li Mi in a big tie, and shouted neatly: "We have caught Li Mi!" We've got Li Mi! We've got Li Mi! ”

Shouting, the cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army did not engage Li Mi's rear army at all, and evaded the interception of Li Mi's rear army after adjusting the direction slightly, and then quickly approached the other teams of Li Mi's army, while shouting the slogan that we have captured Li Mi, and constantly let the man who looked like Li Mi show off in front of the ranks of the various armies, proving that they had indeed succeeded in raiding Li Mi's army flag formation and successfully captured Li Mi himself.

Not to mention, this team of Xiaoguo Army really played the role of four or two thousand catties, heard the shout and saw the captives who looked like Li Mi's thieves, Li Mi's soldiers were suddenly in chaos, and the Dongdu Army under Wang Shichong was also dumbfounded, and said that Li Mi had really been unfortunately captured, but the best effect was still the Xiaoguo Army, hearing these shouts, the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army immediately became demoralized again, yelling and shouting to fight with the enemy, and regained some advantages in the local area, Chen Zhiluo, the general of the Xiaoguo Army, who had close contact with this mysterious Xiaoguo army, lived up to his name, and blessed his soldiers to shout the slogan of catching Li Mi, inspiring the morale of the army and hitting the enemy's morale.

One can imagine Li Mi's anger when he received this report, and when he saw the mysterious cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army fleeing directly to the west after swaggering, Li Mi woke up and scolded: "It's the Guanzhong Army!" It's the puppets in Guanzhong who pretend to be Xiaoguo Army to trap us! Quick, let Yang Defang lead the cavalry to pursue, no matter where you chase you, you have to catch up with me and catch some prisoners back! ”

It is quite difficult to pass the news in the chaotic army, when Yang Defang received the order, the mysterious Xiaoguo army cavalry had fled to the edge of the field of vision, but Yang Defang still did not hesitate to lead the army to launch a pursuit, but Yang Defang can catch up with the Xiaoguo army Regardless of whether the Xiaoguo army can catch up, the Xiaoguo army's morale has risen because of the turmoil and rain of this mysterious friendly army, even if it is still at a disadvantage, the army is no longer as chaotic as just now. At the same time, the three forces that were fighting fiercely also gradually discovered a new change - due south, a few clouds of green and black wolf smoke also rose! The wolf smoke soared into the sky, and I didn't know if it was in an emergency!

Li Mi and Wang Shichong also quickly noticed the storage of wolf smoke in the south, and when they hurriedly identified the location in shock, Wang Shichong immediately breathed a sigh of relief, because those wolf smoke were far away from the eastern capital, and it was obviously not the eastern capital that was in a hurry, but Li Mi, who also observed the location, suddenly turned white - because the location of those wolf smoke was exactly where Wang Bodang's camp was located!

(The author can't verify how far the wolf smoke can transmit the signal, but it is clearly recorded in the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" that the Tang Dynasty set up a beacon tower every thirty miles, so the distance in a straight line is more than twenty miles, and the wolf smoke emitted by Wang Bodang's camp should be seen on the side of Jinyong City.) At the same time, in terms of map scale, the distance between Jinyong City and Luoshui is slightly closer than the distance between Blackstone Fort and Luokoucang, and Wang Shichong, who once hit Luokoucang City in history, was also hastily retreated because of the six successive wolf smoke of Heishi Fort in the grain land, and was defeated by Li Mijun's counterattack. )

Li Mi did not agree with Wang Bodang on the emergency signal of wolf smoke beforehand, but the more this happened, the more anxious Li Mi became, for fear that his lover would be in danger and forced to ask for help, so he could only quickly send Kuaima south to investigate the news. At the same time, Xiaoguojun's side also woke up, and Sima Dejiao and Fan Wenchao and other quick-witted people immediately shouted and ordered, "Shout loudly, Li Mi's back was attacked by us, we won, kill!" ”

"We succeeded in sneaking up on Li Mi's back, and we won! Kill! ”

"We burned the grain and grass of Li Mi's thief army, and also arrested Li Mi himself, we won! Kill, brethren! ”

In the gossip roar, I saw with my own eyes that Li Mi's rear was in an emergency, and the morale of the Xiaoguo army suddenly rebounded sharply, quickly reversing the situation of imminent collapse, and the red-eyed sword and spear and the Wang Li coalition army were desperate, although the result could not reverse the tide of the war, but it also brought a large number of casualties to Li Mi and Wang Shichong's army, forcing Wang Shichong, Li Mi and them to fight the most unwilling meat grinder-style attrition war, and at the same time, after a little stability, part of the cavalry of the Xiaoguo army in the rear also launched a roundabout charge under the command of Sima Dezhen, The detour won the space for the charge, and then violently attacked Wang Shichong and Li Mi, who were in a messy formation in the general attack, and effectively shared the pressure for the main army.

If Li Mi had clairvoyance and could see and hear what was happening on the south bank of Luoshui, then Li Mi would definitely be so angry that he vomited blood on the spot.

In fact, at the same time that the mysterious Xiaoguo army ignited the wolf smoke, Pei Shufang also
