Chapter 340: Enemy on the Belly and Back

The remnant sun was setting in the west, the dark orange light covered the earth, and the battlements made of bluestone were also reflected by the sunset, glowing with a thin pale orange halo, and it had been several hours since Duan Xuan returned to the barracks.

Liu Wei held the battlements in his hand, his well-defined cheeks also looked red in the setting sun, staring at the Xiliang Army outside the city, Liu Wei asked Pang Tong on the side: "Duan Xuan has been back to the barracks for several hours, and the military advisor thinks he might be able to convince Li Le?" ”

"If you are convinced, the Xiliang army must have already advanced towards the city!" Pang Tong shook his head, sighed lightly, and said to Liu Wei: "It's twilight now, Your Highness should make a decision as soon as possible!" ”

"The sun is setting!" Looking up at the remnants of the sky on the horizon, Liu Wei frowned slightly, and said to Pang Tong: "When the soldiers arrive at night, they are invisible, once they enter the night, neither the enemy nor our army can fight, is it a little too late to launch an attack now?" ”

"If there's fire, it's fine!" Pang Tong smiled slightly, raised his hand and pointed to the Xiliang army led by Guan Qing under the city, and said to Liu Wei: "The army only needs to approach forward, and all the soldiers will light torches and put pressure on the Xiliang army with the help of momentum. Moreover, the twilight raid, the enemy army does not know how many soldiers and horses our army has, before dawn, this battle can be completed! ”

"It's all according to the words of the military master!" After listening to Pang Tong's analysis, Liu Wei nodded and said to a soldier behind him: "Order Guan Qing, each of the troops outside the city should prepare a torch, and when the enemy army rises up, move forward immediately." Don't engage the enemy unless you have to! ”

"No!" The soldier answered with his fists clenched, turned and ran down the wall.

"The military advisor can immediately give an order to General Guan Hai to launch an attack on the Xiliang Army's large array!" When the soldier got down the city wall, Liu Wei said to Pang Tong again: "I just don't know if General Duan Xuan is okay?" ”

"If General Duan listens to His Highness's orders and does not use force with Li Le, I think there is no danger of his life for the time being!" Pang Tong first waved his hand at several soldiers holding large flags not far behind him, and then hugged his fists and said to Liu Wei: "However, if our army is delayed for a long time, Li Lewei will seize military power, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not kill General Duan." ”

Pang Tong was talking, and the soldiers holding the big flag were already waving the flag.

The big flag is waving in the wind, and with the flag flying, there is a burst of "hula" sound.

Holding the battlements in his hand, Liu Wei stared at the large array of the Xiliang army in the distance, quietly waiting for the team led by Guan Hai to attack the Xiliang army, which was dozens of times their number.

On the hillside behind the Xiliang Army's array, two thousand Luoyang Army officers and soldiers wearing red armor and carrying simple knives and shields were quietly dormant in the dense bushes.

"General, look!" Guan Hai was lying on his back on the hillside, with a blade of grass in his mouth, looking at the green canopy and panicking, when an officer ran to him, squatted down and raised his finger to the two large flags that were fluttering on the city wall, and whispered to him: "The military advisor has given the order!" ”

Hearing the words "the military advisor gave the order", Guan Hai got up, his eyes widened, and he followed the direction of the officer's finger and looked towards the city wall.

Sure enough, the two big flags on the city wall were shaking greatly, and although they were far apart, they could still see clearly the flags that were lifted and flown by the wind when the big flags were shaking.

"Damn! It's finally here! Seeing the flying flag, Guan Hai stood up suddenly, stretched out his hand to grab the big knife from the side, and shouted to the two thousand Luoyang troops lurking in the forest: "Soldiers, go down the mountain with this general, pull Li Le's dog's head, and give it to His Royal Highness to sacrifice the flag!" ”

"Roar!" After receiving Guan Hai's order, the two thousand Luoyang troops who had already waited for the anxiety all stood up, raised the Pu knife in their hands, and shouted in unison.

In the camp of the Xiliang army under the hillside, Li Le was discussing with the officer who proposed that he go to the south in the tent how to avoid the Luoyang army, and when he left here, he suddenly heard a roar from the hillside behind. Li Le and the officer glanced at each other, and the two of them quickly stood up and jumped out of the tent.

As soon as he rushed out of the tent, Li Le asked in a loud voice to a tent guard, "Where do you shout?" ”

"It seems to be the back of the mountain!" Hearing Li Le's question, the soldier bowed down in fear and said, but he didn't even dare to raise his head.

"Kill!" Li Lezheng didn't know why there was a roar from the back mountain, and a shout of killing came to his ears.

Judging from the sound of killing, there were at least thousands of people rushing down from the mountain, and they were already very close to the barracks, and the enemy had rushed so close that it was a little too late to set up a bow and arrow array for defense.

"The general is not good!" Hearing the shouts of killing, Li Le was about to run in the direction of the back mountain to see what was happening, when a soldier ran to him in a panic, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the back mountain, and shouted to him: "The army of the king of Luoyang...... Killed from the back mountain! ”

"What?" Hearing that the army of the King of Luoyang had been killed from the back mountain, Li Le was suddenly startled, grabbed the soldier's collar, and yelled at him: "Say it again!" ”

"The army of the king of Luoyang...... Killed from the back mountain! The collar was grabbed by Li Le, and the soldier's legs were shaking incessantly, and he shouted again: "There are mountains all over the mountain, I don't know how many there are!" ”

"Oh no, General!" His hand was still holding the soldier's collar, and another soldier ran towards Li Le with a busy look, and shouted in a panic as the soldier ran: "The army of the king of Luoyang stationed outside the city has approached our army!" ”

He didn't expect to be attacked on both sides, Li Le's heart suddenly panicked, he grabbed the soldier who was holding his collar, pulled out his long sword, turned around and pointed the tip of the sword at the officer who instigated him not to surrender, and shouted at the officer: "You have lost my life!" ”

"General, don't panic!" The neck was pointed at the tip of the sword, and the officer's expression also revealed a little panic, and he hurriedly said to Li Le: "The king of Luoyang is bluffing, the villain has heard people mention the king of Luoyang in the past, and he also knows a little bit about him. With the temperament of the king of Luoyang, his attack this time must be for Duan Xuan, as long as the general kills Duan Xuan......"

After listening to the officer's words, Li Le's face showed a hint of hesitation, and then Shuangyang suddenly opened his eyes, raised his long sword forward a little, and shouted at the officer: "You guy, you actually instigated General Ben to kill his former colleagues!" ”

"The general is angry!" The tip of the sword almost pressed against his throat, and the officer's body slumped back slightly, his face was full of panic, and his voice was a little trembling and said to Li Le: "If you kill Duan Xuan, the army will be in the hands of the general." At that time, even if our army is defeated, the general will surrender to the king of Luoyang, in order to avoid the fish from dying and the net will be broken, the king of Luoyang will definitely not embarrass the general! ”

The officer's words calmed Li Le, he withdrew his long sword, furrowed his brows, and shouted to a personal soldier behind him: "Pass the order, immediately eliminate and kill the enemy who entered the barracks!" ”

The soldier answered, turned around and was about to run away, when another soldier came from the side near the hill.

The soldier who had just come over was covered with blood on his face and body, and his leather armor was torn apart, and he staggered to Li Le in a very embarrassed manner, and shouted to Li Le with a crying voice: "General, it's not good!" The western defense line was broken by the Luoyang army! ”

The military camp on the west side is where Guan Hai and the others who are directly facing the mountain slope are located.

In the west, although the strength of the Xiliang army is relatively weak, there is also an army of nearly 10,000 people stationed there. Li Le heard the shouting of killing, but it was only a moment, and the western defense line had been broken by the Luoyang army, and he couldn't help but be secretly shocked in his heart.

At first, he heard the sound of shouting and killing coming from the hillside, and Li Lecong had already analyzed the approximate number of the Luoyang army from the momentum of the shouting and killing. But the Western Front was defeated too quickly, and at this time, he was not too sure how many people the Luoyang Army came.

"Quick! Go and kill Duan Xuan! In a panic, Li Le yelled at one of his own soldiers, then waved at the others and shouted to everyone: "Go with General Ben to meet the battle!" ”

Everyone gathered in front of the tent responded in unison, and one of the soldiers quickly ran towards the place where Duan Xuan was being held, while others followed Li Le and ran towards the military camp on the west side that Guan Hai and others rushed into.

led 2,000 Luoyang troops and suddenly killed them from the hillside. The Xiliang army in the barracks was caught off guard and had no precautions at all, and the barracks on the west side were soon rushed out of a gap by the two thousand Luoyang troops led by Guan Hai.

"Kill!" Picking up the big knife, Guan Hai roared after slashing over a Xiliang army general, and turned back towards a group of Xiliang troops who were rushing towards him.

Dozens of Luoyang troops, who were very close to Guan Hai, saw him rushing towards the black and oppressive Xiliang army alone, worried that if he made a mistake, the whole army would not be able to bear it, so they hurriedly held shields and swords and killed the group of Xiliang troops.

The round shields in the hands of the Luoyang army are all made of oak, although the shield surface is much smaller than the big shield of the Xiliang army, but the texture is very hard.

Seeing Guan Hai pick up the big knife and rush into a group of Xiliang troops, these dozens of Luoyang soldiers blocked their shields in front of them, lowered their heads, let out a roar, and slammed into the oncoming Xiliang army like a group of brute bulls.

Although there are only a few dozen people in this group of Luoyang troops, their collision force is extremely destructive.

With a loud sound of shields colliding, the Xiliang army in front was knocked back a lot, and many of them couldn't withstand the pressure and fell to the ground.

The Xiliang army that followed behind was blocked by the strength of the retreating companions in front, and some people also retreated, but more people continued to rush forward, advancing and retreating, and this group of Xiliang troops had just collided with dozens of Luoyang troops, and they were already in chaos. Fortunately, there were many of them, and soon the Xiliang army that came up behind them blocked the people who were retreating, and stabilized the momentum of retreat for the time being.

Wielding a big knife, Guan Hai cut into butter like a roasted red piece of iron, and with the burst of howls and splashing blood, the tide of Xiliang Army was actually split by him with the strength of one person to split a long gap, and where he rushed through, there were many corpses with missing limbs and legs.

With Guan Hai, dozens of Luoyang soldiers rushed towards this group of Xiliang Army, and while blocking their shields in front of them, they kept waving their swords and slashing at the bodies of Xiliang Army.

Due to the large number of the Xiliang army, although dozens of Luoyang troops tried their best to fight into the torrent of the Xiliang army like Guan Hai, they could rush and kill several times in a row, except for a few soldiers who fell, they almost made no progress, and could only fight the enemy on the periphery.

A little farther away, more Luoyang troops were fighting with the Xiliang army that came to reinforce a steady stream, and the two sides were in a stalemate for a while, and the Luoyang army, which had previously occupied a clear advantage, also slowed down a lot.

Guan Qing, who had led the army to line up at the city gate before, was also leading 50,000 Xiliang army soldiers to slowly approach the camp of the Xiliang army at this moment.

Every time they take a step forward, they will put strong psychological pressure on the Xiliang army. Li Le, who was leading the people towards the military camp on the west side, turned his head to look at the Guan Qing formation that was getting closer and closer, and shouted to the Xiliang army in the barracks: "Leave a few soldiers and horses to prevent the enemy from covering up and killing!" Everyone follows General Ben to kill the enemy in the barracks! ”

With Li Le's shout, countless Xiliang troops who were running around and didn't know what to do suddenly had a goal, and they all shouted in unison, and rushed towards the two thousand Luoyang troops led by Guan Hai.
