Chapter 334

After the Peng army's rushing and rocking, looking at the Chifeng army, the slaughtered army was defeated, there was no formation at all, the screams of the wounded, and the panicked screams of the living made the slopes of Huya Mountain instantly become a hell on earth.

At this moment, the Peng army, which had been defeated and fled, rushed out of both sides of the hillside, shouting in unison and rushing down from the hillside. The art of war is cloudy, the two armies are fighting, and the one who is superior wins. The charge from top to bottom, its momentum is simply like a sea of mountains, where can the Chifeng army, which has been smashed by rushing cars and smashing stones, still be able to resist, and people are almost running down the mountain with rolling belts.

The defeat was like a mountain. The soldiers trampled on each other, fell and rolled, and countless people were killed and wounded.

At this time, Li Wei was dumbfounded, his mouth opened unconsciously, his eyes widened, and he looked straight at the battlefield in front of him, unable to speak.

"General, general?" Peng Haochu called out from the side.

"Ahh......h

Peng Haochu said hurriedly: "General, hurry up and order the troops to retreat, if it drags on, my Chifeng army will be wiped out!"

"Ahh

At this time, Peng Haochu couldn't care so much, and turned his head to the herald and shouted: "Hurry up and withdraw the troops!"

"Yes!"

The herald looked at Li Wei and saw that the latter's face was sluggish, so he turned his heart on his shoulder, conveyed Peng Haochu's order, and ordered the whole army to withdraw his troops.

Dang, dang, dang -- the rapid sound of the gong sounded continuously, and many officers and men of the Chifeng Army who still wanted to continue fighting with the enemy in the front heard the sound of the gong and gave up the battle one after another, and the rear army turned into the front army and retreated on all fronts. It sounds good to say that the retreat is good, but in fact it is a retreat, and he was chased and beaten by the Peng army, and he didn't even want the camp at the foot of the Peng army that he had just captured.

The Chifeng army retreated, and retreated back for more than 20 miles, but the Peng army behind did not have the slightest intention of stopping the pursuit, and there was a posture of not giving up until the Chifeng army was wiped out. Many of the Chifeng troops who fell behind were stabbed to death or trampled into flesh by the Peng army that was chasing them from behind, and their rout was so miserable that it was unbearable to witness.

Just when Li Wei thought that his Chifeng army was about to be annihilated by the Peng army, a huge wind army suddenly came in front, with the word 'Tianyuan' written on the big banner in the army, and the word 'ancient' written on the big flag behind the military flag. Peng Hao looked at it at first, and immediately showed joy on his face, and said to Li Wei: "General, it's General Gu Yue who has come to answer us!"

"Huh?" Li Wei raised his eyes and looked forward carefully, and after looking at it, his heart finally fell when he mentioned his throat and eyes, and then, he was sad, his eyes were red, tears fell, and he shook his head and said: "I underestimated the enemy hastily, and I didn't listen to General Peng's words, so I suffered this big loss, and it affected tens of thousands of soldiers of our army......"

"Oh, General, don't talk about this now, go and join General Gu Yue!"

Seeing that the Tianyuan army had come to reinforcements again, the Peng army behind stopped the pursuit, and the whole army turned around and returned victorious.

After Li Wei, Peng Haochu and Gu Yue met, the latter raised his eyes to look at the two of them, and almost laughed bitterly, at this time, the appearance of these two was too embarrassing, their armor was crooked, their faces were gray, and they still had the majesty when they left Xibaicheng. Without waiting for him to ask what was going on, Peng Haochu preemptively asked, "General Gu, why are you here?"

"Lord Qiu is afraid that the two of you will lose, so he sent me to lead the army to respond!" Gu Yue Zhengse said.

Peng Haochu nodded secretly, Qiu Zhen was really like a god, he was able to leave his hands in advance, no wonder the adults relied on him so much! He sighed: "Thanks to General Gu for arriving in time, otherwise it ......would " As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Li Wei and did not continue.

The Chifeng army was a crushing defeat in this battle, the loss of troops was broken, after statistics, the total number of casualties amounted to 50,000 people, it can be said that a battle down, one-third of the Chifeng army's troops were exhausted. Due to the unimaginable strength of the Peng army, Gu Yue did not dare to continue to march, and the remnants of the Chifeng army were defeated and retreated to Xibaicheng.

After the two armies came back and reported the detailed battle situation to Qiu Zhen, the latter stomped his feet angrily, he didn't tell Li Wei to discuss with Peng Haochu more before he acted, why didn't he listen to his own words, why did he have to go his own way, and finally ended up losing 50,000 troops, growing the enemy's prestige and destroying his own spirit.

In the handsome tent, Qiu Zhen looked coldly at the dejected Li Wei, held his head for a long time, and then gritted his teeth and asked, "Li Wei, what else do you have to say now?"

Li Wei lowered his head and said quietly: "This defeat is all my fault, and I am willing to be punished!"

Qiu Zhen nodded and said, "As the commander-in-chief, you were negligent, rashly marched, fell into a trap by mistake, and killed countless soldiers of our army, what is the use of me keeping you?"

"Here!" two strong men with shirtless upper bodies and big knives with ghost heads approached from outside.

Qiu Zhen waved his hand and said, "Pull Li Wei out and behead the public!"

"Yes!" The knife and axe man doesn't care if you are a general or a soldier, just obey the order, and when Qiu Zhen finished speaking, the two sword and axe men agreed, stepped forward, and one of them took Li Wei's arm and dragged him out.

"Wait a minute!" Seeing that Qiu Zhen was about to behead Li Wei, the surrounding generals and strategists were startled and stepped forward to stop them.

"Lord Qiu, Li Wei is indeed at fault, and he should indeed be punished, but our army has already suffered a defeat and its morale is low, and it will be even more difficult to raise the morale of the whole army if we kill the general at this time! I hope Lord Qiu will think twice!" Gu Yue, Lotte, Ai Jia and others, who were born in the same group of commanders as Li Wei, stepped forward one after another to intercede for him.

"General Gu is right! Even if Lord Qiu wants to severely punish General Li, now is not the time, and we should wait for our army to defeat the enemy army in Huya Mountain. ”

"Yes, I hope Lord Qiu will show mercy!"

The generals and strategists are talking and persuading.

Qiu Zhen is actually just pretentious, he has known Li Wei for a long time, and his personal relationship is not bad, and Li Wei is still Tang Yin's confidant, which can be killed if he can be the master, whether it is public or private, it is impossible for him to behead Li Wei.

Seeing that the generals and strategists had come to intercede, Qiu Zhen borrowed the donkey, took a deep breath, twisted his eyebrows, pretended to be pondering, and after thinking for a long time, he waved his arm to the two sword and axe hands, and said: "Li Wei's capital crime can be avoided, but the living crime is unforgivable." Your post as commander of the Chifeng Army was temporarily taken over by General Peng Haochu, and you temporarily assumed the post of deputy commander, Li Wei, can you be convinced?"

Li Wei thought that he was going to die this time, Qiu Zhen was angry just now as if he was going to eat people, but he didn't expect that he could really listen to everyone's persuasion and leave himself behind, just remove him from the post of commander, how could he be unconvinced at this time. Li Wei hurriedly knelt on his knees, choked up and said, "My subordinates, thank you Lord Qiu for not killing!"

"Don't thank me, if you want to thank these generals and gentlemen who plead for you!" Qiu Zhen deliberately turned his head away and stopped looking at him.

In fact, removing Li Wei from the post of commander of the Chifeng Army was Qiu Zhen's real purpose.

Now, the Tianyuan Army is composed of four legions, Xiao Muqing, the commander of the Plains Army, and the old fritters on the battlefield, The old fox is good at attacking and defending; Liang Qi, the commander of the Sanshui Army, was already a famous general of the Fengguo when Tang Yin was still alive, and was known as a ghost; Gu Yue, the commander of the directly subordinate army, although his ability is slightly weaker, but he is cautious and calm, and he is calm in the face of things, and he can also be called a decent general, and only Li Wei, the commander of the Chifeng Army, has the worst ability and the most uneasy among the four armies, of course, Tang Yin's purpose for promoting him Qiu Zhen also understands, but this does not mean that Qiu Zhen agrees with Tang Yin's approach, if he is just a reliable person and arranges important positions, it will be too mediocre, and there is not no talent in the Chifeng army, Peng Haochu is more suitable for the post of commander than Li Wei。

This time, taking advantage of Tang Yin's absence and Li Wei's big mistake again, Qiu Zhen reversed the positions of Li Wei and Peng Haochu, and let the latter be the main and the former as the subordinate, so that the Chifeng Army would be more reassuring.

The Chifeng army's attack on Huya Mountain was defeated, and Qiu Zhen planned to personally lead the whole army to go out and take Huya Mountain in one fell swoop. At this time, Tang Yin followed Zhao Fu's caravan back to Xibaicheng.

Tang Yin's return was just right, just enough to calm the floating emotions of the generals. Tang Yin first learned about the big and small things that happened during the time he left, when he heard that Liang Qi and Shangguan Yuan on the Tongmen side frustrated the counterattack of the Ning army, he couldn't help but smile on his back, and nodded secretly, his decision to send Liang Qi and Shangguan Yuan to let the two of them was really right, these two people worked together really well, only the 80,000 Sanshui Army could repel several large-scale counterattacks of the Ning army in a row, and I am afraid that only the two of them could do it.

Later, he heard that Li Wei was defeated in Huya Mountain, and after he returned, he was removed by Qiu Zhen.

Tang Yin couldn't help frowning secretly, Li Wei was the commander of the Chifeng Army he had chosen, if he was at fault, the punishment would be, why did Qiu Zhen say that he would be withdrawn?

Seeing that his face sank, Qiu Zhen couldn't feel the unhappiness in his heart. He arched his hand and said: "My lord, on the battlefield, General Li Wei did not listen to the persuasion and insisted on going his own way, resulting in a crushing defeat of the whole army, with more than 50,000 casualties.

Without waiting for Tang Yin to answer, Li Wei, who was standing among the generals, walked out, lifted his armor, knelt on one knee, and intervened and said: "My lord, this battle is indeed the fault of his subordinates, and he did not listen to General Peng's advice, which led to the defeat of the whole army, Lord Qiu has been extremely generous to his subordinates, and his subordinates have no complaints!"

Alas, Tang Yin sighed secretly, even Li Wei himself said so, and he didn't want to say anything more. Nodding, he tilted his head to look at Lotte and Ai Jia, and asked, "Who is in command of the enemy army stationed in Huya Mountain?"
