Chapter Ninety-Two: Striking the Lance
When Li Yu was secretly worried, the generals around Wang Ji were also worried:
"General, although our army is the main army, it is outnumbered. Our army has fought until now, the enemy army is not moving like a mountain, such a fierce attack, the soldiers will be killed and wounded heavily, and then the time will be eliminated, and the tiger will not be eaten by the tiger. ”
Wang Jidao:
"I don't know what you are talking about, but since I know that the enemy is outnumbered, I can only move forward, not retreat, and once I retreat, my morale will be lost, and the army will be defeated like a mountain, and it will not be easy to turn over at that time. Don't hide it from you, Wang is deeply favored by the ancestors, and today he has a heart of death, and the old man thinks that only by putting it to death can he be reborn, if you want to go back alive, you must be the same as the old man. If anyone wants to escape from the battle, it will hurt me, and the old man will kill him! ”
When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but cry out in their hearts, Xian Situ is kind to you, but it is far away from us. You are a lot of age, and when you die, you die, so why bother to accompany us in the prime of life? However, Wang Ji is a general and is known for his prestige, but no one feels that Wang Ji's face is exposed. Seeing that Wang Ji's expression was extremely grim, one by one he had to put his heart in the bottom of his heart and said:
"Willing to follow the general!"
Originally, because the officers and troops were tough and could not overcome repeated attacks, the morale of the Ziqing army was loosened, and the pressure on the officers and troops had weakened. Now all the armies know Wang Ji's intentions, but they have no two hearts, and they are moving forward more desperately. The pressure on the officers and soldiers, especially Li Zhongyi's former army, was even greater.
Fortunately, after repelling the first wave of attacks, the Huaixi veterans already knew that this was a vicious battle and put away their contempt. After Li Zhongyi successfully outflanked the left battalion, he used the left battalion to set up a formation in front of the front battalion and withdrew the front battalion.
I thought that after the rotation of the battalions was over, Li Zhongyi would replace the front battalion again, but watching the battalions come forward in turn to replenish, and when the left battalion that had rested and recuperated was re-entered and replaced with the rear battalion, the former battalion captain could not sit still. stood up and wanted to see where Li Zhongyi was, but he didn't expect to be blocked by the rear camp that had just retreated.
"Yo, are you still resting here?"
The captain of the rear battalion looked at the soldiers of the former battalion who were sitting on the ground and were depressed and restless, and said to the captain of the former battalion, "Even General Li has gone up in person, and you are still sitting here, which is really more powerful than General Li's pro-military camp." ”
The former military cadet's already dark face was even darker. Fortunately, the captain of the rear battalion did not continue to count, and turned around and beckoned the soldiers of the rear battalion to sit down and rest. However, this is more sad than pointing at the nose and scolding the soldiers of the front battalion. The lieutenant of the rear battalion said:
"Sit down, eat some dry food, we'll have to go up later."
The former battalion captain snorted and headed towards the front viciously.
Li Zhongyi clenched the Yongzhen knife in his hand, held the opponent's long lance, and kicked the opponent's crotch while the opponent's attention was all on the lance. With a miserable scream, Li Zhongyi put away the knife and fell, and a ripe melon dripped.
Without waiting to take a breath, Li Zhongyi picked up the fallen lance into his hand with one kick and threw it towards the gap, using a lot of force, and actually pierced three people with one lance. The Huaixi veterans took the opportunity to rush up and seal the gap. Li Zhongyi took the opportunity to counterattack with his own soldiers and killed all the Ziqing soldiers who broke into the formation. Another attack was repulsed, but his battalion was much more sparse. After taking two breaths, I saw a black face full of flattering smiles in front of me, and the Yongzhen knife in the black face's hand was still dripping blood, obviously killing someone just now.
"Who told you to come up?"
Li Zhongyi asked with a dark face. The former battalion captain twisted his face and said:
"General, we've rested enough, just let us go to the camp."
Li Zhongyi snorted, turned around and left, but his shirt was pulled by the former battalion captain.
"What are you doing?"
Li Zhongyi roared. The former battalion captain stood there with his face flushed, and said:
"General, the brothers can't rest anymore as they watch from behind!"
Li Zhongyi just wanted to have a seizure, but as if he remembered something, he changed his mouth and said:
"You go down first, and I'll replace you later."
The former battalion captain didn't expect Li Zhongyi to speak so easily, and he was so surprised that he forgot to let go of his hand, and was kicked over by Li Zhongyi before he got up and went back. Li Zhongyi saw that the Ziqing army rushed up again, and shouted:
"Pro-barracks, up! Give me a long lance nail! ”
There were so many dead that the repulsion, which was supposed to delay the enemy's attack, was covered with corpses and instead became a low wall. The two sides fought each other across this low wall of human flesh. This time, the Ziqing army came up more, and it was thickly blocked in front of the official army, so that the people behind couldn't rush up. And the officers and soldiers often have to deal with several weapons alone, and the situation is indeed critical, Li Zhongyi saw at a glance that he had just passed through the long lance of three people, and he couldn't help but have an idea, pulled out the long lance, broke it into three, and shouted:
"Nail me!"
After that, he picked up a sword regardless of the other party, and steadily inserted it into the chest of the Ziqing soldier on the other side of the rejection horse with both hands. I had to throw the blade and hold the broken lance with both hands and push it out, but unfortunately the strength was not as strong as Li Zhongyi after all, and the broken lance was firmly rooted in the chest of Ziqing soldiers.
Li Zhongyi's personal soldiers saw Li Zhongyi like this, they had already understood, and held the giant axe with the back of the axe to slam the lance, as soon as Li Zhongyi let go, the broken lance had already entered without chest, and the screams sounded one after another from behind the first Ziqing soldier who had already died.
The blow worked, and without waiting for Li Zhongyi's order, the officers and soldiers behind picked up the lance and broke it one after another, and nailed it towards the Ziqing soldiers who were tightly crowded in front of the low human wall, and the screams changed from one after another to one after another. The thickness of the human flesh wall has increased even more, and even the officers and soldiers have difficulty trying to fight the Ziqing soldiers behind. Li Zhongyi held the arm that had just been cut and shouted:
"Bring the front battalion up!"
The soldiers of the front battalion quickly got up, passed through the middle of the rear battalion, and trotted all the way up to pounce. Then, the rear battalion also rushed forward. Then, Ding Shiliang was also ordered to bring two battalions of people to kill Li Zhongyi from the left and right. Wang Ji waved the flag here, and the two battalions also greeted him. Li Zhongyi's army was still there, but the battlefield had become the front.
After a fight, Ding Shiliang led his troops to retreat, and Li Zhongyi's formation also had two more battalions of reinforcements, and the formation suddenly became dense again. The front of the army was still firmly there.
Wang Jidao:
"This formation is here, just like the urn city, if he is not pulled out, he will never be able to shake Li Yu's main formation. It's really annoying. ”
On Li Yu's side, Li He had already changed his uniform, and his thin body was wrapped in huge armor, which looked very mismatched, but his nose like a hanging gall was still very prominent, Li He stood behind Li Yu, as if he thought of something, and said:
"Grandpa Guo, our army has repeatedly defeated the enemy, and the morale of the enemy army has weakened, why not put down the army?"
Li Yu said:
"You know one thing, you don't know the other. So-and-so was waiting for his army to press. ”
Li He was stunned and looked at Wang Ji's army formation, although the Ziqing army's offensive was fierce, there was no trace of pressure. Looking at Li Yu again, Li Yu was still concentrating on observing the situation of the enemy army. The faces of the two colleagues behind him flashed with disdain, and although Li He felt embarrassed, he didn't care. He thought about it for a while, and he couldn't grasp the essentials, so he had to learn from Li Yu to observe carefully with a blushing face of excitement. After watching it for a while, I realized that although the Ziqing army was temporarily defeated, there was no sign of panic in this formation, which was not injured. The opponent's vitality has not hurt his own side, and the casualties are bound to be too great.
"Order the left and right flanks to press out, and each send a brigade to form a front line like Li Zhongyi!"
After careful observation for a while, Li Yu gave the order. Guarding under the lookout was a herald on horseback, and when he heard Li Yu's order, two cavalrymen immediately flew out from both ends and went to the two wings. The rest of the soldiers exchanged glances excitedly. Li He didn't dare to interject this time, but carefully observed the enemy's situation and wondered why Li Yu issued such an order. Li Yu glanced at Li He, didn't say anything, and continued to observe.
The officers and men of the 55th Army, who had been pressed for a long time, immediately pressed out in accordance with Li Yu's orders. The tactics on both sides were almost identical, first sending cavalry from the flanks to attack behind the attacking Ziqing army, disrupting the formation of the Ziqing army, and then the infantry pressed out of the formation under the cover of archers, killing and wounding a large number of enemy troops by the way. The sortie of thousands of officers and troops quickly routed the already tired Ziqing soldiers, and after advancing for hundreds of paces, the official cavalry withdrew, and the infantry lined up.
In the middle, Li Zhongyi's formation has not yet been broken, and a new formation has been listed on the left and right, Wang Ji suddenly felt that he was very troubled, look at this posture, Li Yu wanted to attack. There are more than 10,000 soldiers in his hands who have not moved, and Li Yu is estimated to have more than 20,000 on his side.
Just when Wang Ji hesitated, a fast horse galloped over. An officer jumped down from his horse and came to Wang Ji's side to present a scroll of things:
"General Wang, the commander's soldiers and horses have reached thirty miles away, and the commander orders you to storm the enemy formation, and be sure to hold off the enemy army to the death!"
The officer who gave the order said to Wang Ji breathlessly. Wang Ji's eyebrows and beard seemed to be flying in an instant.
