Chapter 114: Wait and see
Meanwhile.
The Shuofang Longyou coalition army has already begun to attack the Hexi army camp.
With the help of traitors, Wang Zhonghei rode into the camp of the Hexi Army, as if entering a no-man's land.
Xiao Jiong and Wei Zhongxian had already taken the Chishui Army, the Dadou Army, and the Jiankang Army to prepare to run away.
"Father-in-law Wei, Wang Zhongsi has brought troops over, what should I do?" Xiao Jiong looked at the boundless, swarming enemy troops, and was so nervous that he was sweating profusely.
Wei Zhongxian looked at the camp of the Sixteen Guards of the Southern Ya, and the soldiers inside were flowing endlessly, obviously assembling.
"King Xiao Jun doesn't need to panic, look over there!"
Xiao Jiong looked in the direction of his finger.
I happened to see three thousand Xuanjia iron horsemen getting on their horses.
Moreover, the gate of the barracks of the 16th guard of the South Ya has also been opened.
"Father-in-law Wei really didn't lie to me, General Lu Bu really sent troops."
Xiao Jiong's face was full of joy.
But in a blink of an eye, he saw that he and the sixteen guards of the Southern Ya had been separated by the army led by Wang Zhongsi, and his heart suddenly became even more panicked.
"Can General Lu Bu's Xuanjia Iron Cavalry break away from Wang Zhonghe's Mo Dao team? I didn't break through a few days ago, but now that Wang Zhongsi has prepared in advance, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to break through! ”
Xiao Jiong looked at the Shuofang Longyou coalition army that was constantly approaching him, and he was completely panicked, and said in a panic: "Father-in-law Wei, otherwise, we should go north according to the original plan, just in time to cut off Wang Zhonghe's grain route." ”
Wei Zhongxian looked at Xiao Jiong, who was flustered, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Although Xiao Jiong's idea of cutting off the grain route is very good, it would be a better choice if he could take advantage of the fact that the enemy army did not integrate the traitors of the Hexi Army and break them in one fell swoop.
"King Xiao Jun, don't panic!"
"Most of the Shuofang Longyou Coalition Army are infantry, but the Chishui Army, the Dadou Army, and the Jiankang Army are all cavalry. As long as we want to go, with the sixteen guards of the Southern Ya Guarding in check, Wang Zhongsi feels that he can't keep us. ”
"If you can take this opportunity to directly defeat Wang Zhongsi and relieve the crisis of Xiao Guan in one fell swoop, then Your Majesty may also make you a prince at that time."
Prince?
As soon as Xiao Jiong heard these two words, he couldn't help but tremble all over.
You must know that since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, no person of the opposite sex has ever been named a prince.
thought that he would become a prince in the future and leave his name in history.
The fear on his face was gone.
"Father-in-law Wei, do you think Your Majesty will really give the title of Prince of a courtier with a different surname?"
Xiao Jiong looked at Wei Zhongxian expectantly, thinking of getting an accurate answer.
"Your Majesty once said that as long as General Xiao can kill Wang Zhonghei, he can consider making you a prince. Even if you don't kill Wang Zhonghei, if you can defeat the Shuofang Longyou coalition army, Your Majesty will definitely consider it carefully. ”
Of course, Wei Zhongxian could not make the decision for Li Mao and canonize the prince.
But now that Xiao Jiong is urgently needed, he can only answer ambiguously.
"Then you need a lot of kind words from Grandpa Wei!"
Xiao Jiong arched his hand, as if he had already defeated the Shuo Fang Longyou coalition army.
Wei Zhongxian replied with a faint smile: "Don't worry, Lord Xiao, our family will definitely tell Your Majesty about your heroic killing on the battlefield!" ”
In order to win over Xiao Jiong, his title has changed.
……
"Although the enemy army is numerous, it will be killed with one blow!"
With Lu Bu shouting.
The Xuanjia Iron Rider rushed out of the camp with the sound of horses' hooves like thunder.
"Rush!"
"Kill!"
Immediately behind him were the 70,000 foot soldiers of the Sixteen Guards of the Southern Ya.
Today is the best chance to break the enemy, Lu Bu chose to gamble all his chips, vowing to defeat the Shuofang Longyou coalition army.
If you miss your chance today.
The Battle of Xiaoguan will once again evolve into a war of attrition.
The enemy army was numerous, and there was plenty of food and grass.
The sixteen guards of the Southern Ya led by Lu Bu could not afford it at all.
There is only one month's grain and grass in the camp, and it is similar in Xiaoguan City.
If it continues to be consumed, without Wang Zhonghei's fighting, the sixteen guards of the Southern Ya will collapse on their own due to lack of food.
"Humph! A rabble! ”
Facing the infantry in a tight formation again, Lu Bu smiled disdainfully.
"Xuanjia Iron Rider, follow the general!"
As soon as the words fell, Lu Bu stepped on the horse, leaped two zhang away, and directly tore a huge hole in the infantry formation.
The other Xuanjia Iron Cavalry followed this opening, like chopping vegetables, and instantly tore apart the ten-story infantry formation.
"Brothers, rush up to this king!"
Xiao Jiong saw that Lu Bu was powerful, and he naturally would not be a spectator if he had the intention of making meritorious contributions, so he hurriedly commanded the 30,000 cavalry of the Chishui Army, the Great Dou Army, and the Jiankang Army to rush towards the military formation of the Shuofang Longyou Coalition Army.
There is no fighting spirit!
These four words just describe the combat state of the Chishui Army, the Great Dou Army, and the Jiankang Army.
After hearing Xiao Jiong's command, they slowly and leisurely beat their horses and rushed towards the enemy.
It didn't seem like a war, it looked like an outing.
Wei Zhongxian frowned.
"Lord Xiao, what's going on with your Hexi Army? Why is there no morale at all? Our family is very worried that once the battle is engaged, your Hexi army will be routed and fled. ”
Xiao Jiong's face was also very embarrassed.
He never thought that the Hexi Army would be so unusable.
If he had known, he would not have chosen to stay on the battlefield.
"Gonggong Wei, don't worry, the Hexi army is all light cavalry, and it is naturally impossible to be as imposing as the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry when charging."
"This king firmly believes that the combat effectiveness of the Hexi Army will definitely not be worse than the Shuofang Army and the Longyou Army!"
Xiao Jiong said with a firm face.
But the way his eyes rolled from time to time showed that he didn't believe his words.
During the war, Wei Zhongxian didn't want to talk to him too much, so he nodded lightly and said, "Then wait and see!" ”
The three armies of the Chishui Army, the Great Dou Army, and the Jiankang Army were the most elite cavalry under the command of the Hexi Jiedu Envoy.
At the same time, it is also the most elite cavalry in the entire Tang Dynasty.
These cavalrymen were well trained to compete with the Turks who had grown up on horseback in the steppe.
But at this point, it was as if they were all sick.
On the way to the charge, slowly, as if unable to lift the strength.
People who didn't know the specific situation looked at it and thought that these people were stragglers who were temporarily pulled over.
The Jiedu envoy of the three armies of the Chishui Army, the Great Dou Army, and the Jiankang Army looked at the weak appearance of the soldiers under his command, and was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
If it crashes like this, it may not be able to make a single wave on the enemy's front.
"Kill!"
"Brothers, rush!"
"If you win this battle, I will find you a thousand prairie girls to play with!"
All three generals are using their own methods to boost morale.
But the result was not good, and the soldiers still looked lazy.
Wei Zhongxian has been thinking about what went wrong.
It wasn't until I saw the other party's flag clearly that I understood the problem.
