Chapter 332: The Decisive Battle (6)
At the second hour, the seventh hour after the decisive battle began, the sun gradually set in the west, and the beautiful afterglow shone through the gloomy clouds, dyeing the whole sky orange-yellow.
If it were a different time, the burning clouds might be a good sight, but in the fierce battlefield, it was like a huge mirror, reflecting the blood on the ground into two terrifying seas of blood.
The battle continued, and almost all the troops were almost exhausted, but Wang Yi's left guard of the Chinese army still retained abundant combat strength despite the lack of effort.
At this time, this group of men and horses had already escaped from the roundabout front in the north, and according to the battle plan drawn up by Wang Yi in advance, they quickly moved closer to the center of the battlefield and rushed to the most critical valley defense line.
"Has the generals' backlash been suppressed?"
On the war horse, Wang Yi lightly asked Zuo Meng, who had caught up.
Zuo Meng nodded: "The general who made trouble has been controlled, and everyone else knows what is good and bad, and they will not oppose it at this time." ”
Wang Yi nodded: "The controlled generals should be treated preferentially, they just adhere to their principles, the army needs these iron-clad men, and Ben Shuai will personally prove to them that only Ben Shuai's methods can turn things around!" ”
Zuo Meng nodded, as if he had something on his mind, and he wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it.
"What's wrong?"
Wang Yi frowned and asked.
"Nothing ......"
Zuo shook his head fiercely, but finally did not speak.
Wang Yi glanced at him and said lightly: "If you have something on your mind, just say it, we have been comrades-in-arms for many years, why hide it like this?" ”
Zuo Meng groaned slightly: "I just heard from the scout that after our army broke away from the battle line, the enemy's roundabout troops have passed through our army's position and headed straight for the Chinese army, and the 30,000 border troops guarding the Chinese army have been taken to the front line by Deng He. ”
Hearing this, Wang Yi was silent for a moment, sighed and said: "This is the expected result, sacrificing a Xiao Jinwu in exchange for a glimmer of life for our army, otherwise if we continue to fight like this, our 400,000 troops will all have to fold here, you should understand which is more important." ”
Zuo Meng nodded: "The last general understands, the marshal doesn't have to worry about the last general." ”
Wang Yi glanced at him again, nodded and said: "Although Xu Rui is a traitorous villain, he has a reasonable saying, righteousness does not manage money, mercy does not command the army, in order to win, you should do everything on the battlefield." ”
After speaking, Wang Yi ignored the struggling Zuo Meng, hit his horse forward, and commanded the left guard of the Chinese army to quickly enter the battlefield.
Because Tong Yang took the initiative to shrink the battlefield at the beginning of the war, the distance between the left guard of the Chinese army and the valley defense line was actually not far, and it would not exceed fifteen miles when it was full.
However, just as the left guard of the Chinese army was about to approach the defense line of the river valley, the clerk beside Wang Yi seemed to suddenly realize something, and looked into the northwest direction.
"Huh?"
A look of confusion flashed across the clerk's face.
Wang Yi stumbled upon his abnormality, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The clerk pointed to a valley in the northwest and said, "Sir, you drive over there, there seems to be smoke and dust." ”
Wang Yi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked at the clerk's finger, only to see that it seemed to be gray more than ten miles away, and it seemed to be really like smoke and dust.
He groaned slightly, and his gaze suddenly fell on the boulder beside him.
The boulder was a foot wide and bare like a millstone, and on top of the boulder, some fine gravel the size of a grain of rice occasionally shook twice, like lazy flying insects, although not violent, but also conspicuous.
"The earth is shaking, is it cavalry?"
Wang Yi's eyes froze, and his face suddenly changed greatly: "No, the vibration spread so far, it must be a large number of heavily armored cavalry, and it appeared in the northwest direction, could it be that the Black Flag Army went and returned?" ”
Thinking of this, Wang Yi was suddenly shocked and shouted: "Pass my order, the whole army will stop immediately and deploy on the spot, the Black Flag Army is coming!" ”
He didn't notice that when he said the last few words, his voice was a little out of tune, and the faces of the pro-generals around him suddenly changed greatly when they heard this, and they immediately began to prepare for battle like ants on a hot pot. ”
To say that Wang Yi is not a general person in the management of the army, he succeeded as the commander of the left guard of the Chinese army for a short time, but this army has begun to take on the image of a strong force.
Although it was the strongest army in the world that came behind him, the sound of the horn of "woo" immediately stopped and began to deploy calmly, and all the weapons that could be used appeared one by one, and the position of the troops was also fast and reasonable.
But Wang Yi looked at the army that was supposed to attack the valley defense line and was forced to stop and face the black flag, but his mouth was still full of bitterness.
He did not hesitate to leave his post without permission, and let his mouth open his mouth to order more than 10,000 enemies to rush directly to the Chinese army, just to establish immortal feats, and his abacus was played to the smallest detail, which is not amazing.
If he left half an hour early, or the Black Flag Army arrived half an hour late, maybe he could really achieve something great.
But his luck was too bad, and he happened to meet the Black Flag Army who came back to help, not only did all the plans go bankrupt in an instant, but he also became the shield of the entire battlefield.
If there is a choice, no one in the Northern Dynasties army naturally wants to meet the Black Flag Army, Wang Yi wants to preserve his strength and is so calculated, but in response to the old saying, the agency is too smart, but it is wrong to miss Qingqing's life.
The little combat power that the left guard of the Chinese army had retained with great effort actually collided head-on with the Black Flag Army, and inexplicably became the shield of the entire Northern Korean army.
Ironically, it was precisely because the most powerful left guard of the Chinese army resisted the front that the entire front did not completely collapse when the Black Flag Army suddenly arrived.
I'm afraid Wang Yi himself didn't expect that under the mistake of hitting him, he really became the last straw in this big battle, but this way made him unable to laugh no matter what.
Fate is sometimes so naughty, and when you think you have mastered it, it will suddenly take a big turn, making people cry out in vain.
On the hillside on the other side of the battlefield, the "reinforcements" that the Northern Korean army had been waiting for finally arrived, Xu Rui sat stiffly on a chair and was carried to the top of the mountain by his own soldiers.
The four young generals of the Apocalypse, Zhang Zuofeng, Lin Shaodong, Cao Siyuan, and Guo Shengbao were all around him, and hundreds of Apocalypse Guards were all here, digging trenches in full swing.
"This mountain peak is not only hidden, but also has a bird's-eye view of the entire battlefield, and the most important thing is that it is so close to the valley defense line, General Cao's terrain reconnaissance ability is really getting more and more powerful."
Guo Shengbao lay on the cliff, looking at the valley opposite, and said to Cao Siyuan beside him.
Cao Siyuan rolled his eyes: "Needless to say, if you compliment, quickly retract your head, if the enemy finds out, our hard work in the past few days will be in vain." ”
Guo Shengbao laughed, hurriedly shrunk back from the cliff, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the kung fu has been done by you, and it will be time for my old Guo to perform in a while, and I will never let you down." ”
Cao Siyuan nodded: "It's about the same, when I win this battle, I'm asking Tiange to set up wine for you to celebrate, no matter how expensive it is, you can order it." ”
"Really?"
Guo Shengbao rubbed his hands and said, "Then I'm not welcome, don't be foolish when the time comes." ”
Cao Siyuan snorted angrily: "You go to Changxing City to inquire, when did my little Yama King Cao Siyuan ever cheat?" ”
The two of you said a word, and I said it very easily, and they didn't seem to care about the fierce battle below.
Zhang Zuofeng, who was standing behind Xu Rui, was not in such a good mood as them, he frowned at the moment, and his face was full of sadness.
"I didn't expect the Black Flag Army to really go and return as the marshal expected, and now our army is about to be unable to hold on, the marshal ......"
Zhang Zuofeng wanted to beg Xu Rui, but was stopped by Lin Shaodong.
Lin Shaodong shook his head helplessly: "General Zhang, Marshal Xiao Jinwu is your benefactor, everyone knows and understands your feelings, but you know the strategy, now is not the time, once we are exposed, all the achievements will be lost, and this war will end ahead of schedule." ”
Zhang Zuofeng's face suddenly darkened when he heard this, of course he knew the stakes, but it was Xiao Jinwu who was fighting hard below, how could he calm down?
"Manpower is sometimes poor, so now we can only do our own thing, and leave the rest to the mandate of heaven, thinking too much is a burden."
Xu Rui on the chair wanted to pat Zhang Zuofeng's shoulder and comfort him a few words, but he was still a zombie now, and he couldn't even move his fingers, so he could only tell him what he thought in his heart, but he didn't know if it could make him feel at ease.
