Chapter 470: The Counteroffensive Begins

"Li Yun, is it Li Yun?"

Cheng Zhijie asked Li Kui expectantly, but Li Kui couldn't see it clearly...... It's too far. His eyesight is very good, but the problem is that there are few people in this era who are short-sighted. Cheng Zhijie couldn't see clearly, even if Li Kui was a little stronger than him, he wouldn't be much stronger.

If you want to use your sixth sense to fool around, right?

He's not a woman.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't see clearly, as long as you know that it's your own person. Li Kui ordered: "Spread the flag!" ”

"Li Yun, it's really Li Yun!"

Soon, the news of the flag feedback made Cheng Zhijie excited, and the Tiger Battalion had fought to this point, and if the battle continued, it would definitely collapse. It's not that the morale is not successful, the morale of the Song army is high today, but the physical strength has been exhausted. Not only is it exhausted, but most of them are already overdrawn, and many soldiers are barely standing, walking staggeringly, how can they continue to fight hard?

On the battlefield, he doesn't give face, but he definitely can't help but give Li Kui's face. Not to mention their relationship, it is no longer a miracle that they can force the party's 45,000-strong army to collapse with 5,000 infantry.

The key is that this is still a field battle in which the party members have an absolute advantage.

The battle losses of the Great Song and Western Xia in field battles were often several times that of the Western Xia army, and they ended in defeat.

But now?

Cheng Zhijie nominally used 5,000 people to cripple the more than 40,000 Western Xia army. This credit is enough to make him one of the famous generals of the Great Song Dynasty. This is still counted from the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, and one is counted as one. But this credit was not earned by Cheng Zhijie through his own bravery, but was completely due to Li Kui.

It's just that Li Kui doesn't need military merits, and he has no plans to switch to the army.

Therefore, the lion's share of this final credit must be Cheng Zhijie's success.

Cheng Zhijie didn't know what kind of high-ranking officials could be worthy of this merit when he returned to the capital, and did he really deserve to enjoy the Taimiao?

His father-in-law has not yet received such an honor, and he is a cold second......

Just think about it and laugh out loud with a pig.

Cheng Zhijie, who already had no thoughts about merit, even dreams, and lofty ideals, whispered to Li Kui: "Renjie, it's all here, aren't we?" ”

"Second brother-in-law, you are right, take advantage of him and ask for his life, now the Western Xia army has decided to retreat, and its morale is low, it is the best time to finish its work and annihilate it." Li Kui stroked his palms and smiled: "If it was before, we couldn't do anything because the cavalry didn't come." Now that Li Yun's cavalry has arrived, it is the best time to counterattack. ”

Rao knew that Li Kui was not so easily satisfied, and Cheng Zhijie became more and more afraid the more he listened. With such a small number of people under them, Li Kui is good, always thinking about annihilating the other party. Didn't you see that even if the party dog is defeated, there are tens of thousands of horses? He really wanted to persuade Li Kui that it is not easy for our Great Song Dynasty to get a little cheap on the battlefield, and we will accept it if we see it.

The problem is that Cheng Zhijie doesn't want to attack at all, he wants to withdraw his troops and rescue Jin Mingzhai to this point, which is already benevolent and righteous. Even if Jin Mingzhai was broken by the party's army in the end, he and Li Kui would not have to bear any responsibility. On the contrary, it was Zhang Yu, the guard general of Jinmingzhai, who had four or five thousand men and horses, as well as a strong city defense, and repeatedly asked for help, which really lost the face of the generals. Besides, the arrows on the battlefield have no eyes, and if you are lucky and fall on the way to the last charge, wouldn't you die unjustly! It's like the man who worked hard to save the world's wealth, but dragged down his body and died, and then the wife remarried with the man's wealth, isn't this making a wedding dress for others?

"Counterattack?" Cheng Zhijie screamed, with a swarthy face, pale with fright.

"General, we have won a great victory in this battle. However, the fly in the ointment is that the party army has reached the verge of collapse, and as long as more pressure is given, the collapse of the party is imminent. Hu Yanzhuo, who has a lot of theoretical experience, but is also the same as Cheng Zhijie, who is on the battlefield for the first time, doesn't know when to come over, and said something that makes Cheng Zhijie, the main general, very displeased.

Cheng Zhijie looked at Hu Yanzhuo angrily, and scolded angrily: "General Ben and the Lord of the Prison Army are discussing military affairs, where is your share of talking, go back!" ”

But Hu Yanzhuo's words can be regarded as reminding him, and Cheng Zhijie doubted: Doesn't he know that the party members are not good?

But the problem is, Song Jun is not either! Especially Hu Yanzhuo, this guy, actually came to backstab himself coldly, he knew that this thing had backbones, and in order to make meritorious contributions, he didn't even pay attention to himself, the main general?

At this time, the merit is there, and the great favor of the righteous reinforcement of Jin Mingzhai has also been given, and the smart people should accept it when they see it, and they will almost get it. Greed, what if you eat too much?

At this time, the counterattack was based on Li Yun's 2,000 cavalry?

What is this enough for this person?

Li Kui has long seen Cheng Zhijie's thoughts, this second brother-in-law is a little rich and safe, once the dream is realized, he will be the master of salted fish for the rest of his life. Of course, this is a good thing, Cheng Zhijie knows his own level, and he must not have the ability to kill all sides on the battlefield and expand the territory for the Great Song Dynasty, since he doesn't have it, he should be stable, isn't it?

Besides, the merit is already there, and the honor is coming soon, as long as the results of the battle reach the capital, this holy decree can rush to the road again, isn't it good to wait for the wealth to be sent to the door? What if you're unlucky at this time...... He didn't dare to think about what he would be wronged?

But Li Kui said lightly, quite lightly: "The second brother-in-law won't be afraid, right?" ”

"How is that possible?" Cheng Zhijie is a scene person, he can suffer losses, the kind of unlucky appearance that he swallows in his stomach after eating blood. But I can't stand being slapped in the face, even if I have already admitted it in my heart, I must not admit it in my face. The muscles on Cheng Zhijie's face trembled for a while, and he said in a deep voice: "Renjie, let's say, how do you want my brother to cooperate with you?" ”

"Give Li Yun a flag, let him bypass the battlefield, insert diagonally into the chaotic army of the party, and go straight to the Chinese army!"

"You're not going to kill the party leader?"

Cheng Zhijie understood it, but after understanding Li Kui's thoughts, his heart trembled. Sure enough, he wants to annihilate the party members! But the question is, can it be done? Li Yun had less than 2,000 men under his command, and it was not easy for the cavalry to completely defeat the party. Not everyone can become an overlord, which god is fierce, but what is even more fierce is that the children of Jiangdong are fierce with one as ten. Look behind him, the soldiers of the Beijing camp are already the best soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty, as long as their courage is sharpened, they can be regarded as the first-class elite of the Great Song Dynasty.

Now there is no shortage of courage, but the means on the battlefield, will it be successful?

But Li Kui said with confidence: "Now our army and the Western Xia army are hanging on their breath, and whoever removes this breath will lose everything." Now the party members seem to be powerless to attack on the surface, but the second brother-in-law, they still have a big camp in Jinmingzhai, and there are also elites stationed in the big camp. Only by defeating all the courage of the Western Xia army can we finally leave the battlefield. What if the party reorganizes the army and horses again? Our heavy infantry has already suffered more than half of the casualties, how can we still withstand the attack of the party's lifeless people? ”

"Brother, how can I help you?" Cheng Zhijie also found that he was thinking simply. As long as the reason is reasonable, it is not difficult for Cheng Zhijie to accept the risk counterattack.

Cheng Zhijie didn't know where he could help Li Kui. But he knew that Li Kui would get the most benefits in the end by doing this.

"Hold the camp, heal the wounded, and fortify the defenses!" Li Kui casually said the twelve-character phalanx, which was the easiest thing for Cheng Zhijie and the most willing thing to do. He was afraid that Li Kui would pull him and let him rush to kill together, if that was the case, he would have to die, and he wouldn't be able to cry at that time. But in this way, will his subordinates be underestimated by his main general, especially that Hu Yanzhuo, who stabbed him in the back just now. Turning his head to Hu Yanzhuo, he said, "You go and bring people to treat the wounded, and repair the camp." I'm afraid it's impossible to enter Jinmingzhai today, so that the soldiers can eat and rest well, and rest well. ”

A good member of the fierce general, because his mouth is very owed, was immediately put on small shoes by the main general and made a firehead army.

Subsequently, Cheng Zhijie turned to Li Kui and said, "Renjie, what can I do?" ”

"Give me all the cavalry in the army."

Li Kui thought about it and made a request. This request is not difficult for Cheng Zhijie to decide, and he agreed immediately. Anyway, he didn't take it seriously after only two hundred rides.

The whistle sounded sharply between the lips.

Li Kui's snow-stepping black horse was bored gnawing on grass roots in the camp, and when he heard the whistle, he suddenly raised his horse's head and looked in the direction where the sound came. Holding a three-pointed and two-edged blade, he pressed his hand on the saddle, and after flying on the horse, Li Kui turned around and yelled: "Follow me!" ”

On the other side, Li Yun took Zhang Chuan and the others to urge the war horse to trot close to the battlefield. From afar, I saw a mess on the battlefield. But because the distance is too far, I can't really see what the situation of the Song army is. They could only cautiously approach the battlefield and maintain the speed of their horses, so that they could react quickly enough before the accident happened to get out of the encirclement of the cavalry of the party members.

Zhang Chuan on the side was still chattering: "Li Yun, your uncle and ancestor are too different things, right?" I just casually said that I had read books for a few years, and his old man dragged me to let me endorse the book, didn't you see that I was a soldier? ”

Zhang Chuan has every reason to complain, he is a disciple of the general, why did he torture him like a jinshi? And Su Zhe is a dignified university scholar, the questions he asks are weird, he stands like a fool, obviously every sentence is a familiar official language, but he bitterly finds that his ears are just ornaments, and he doesn't understand anything.

Li Yun said with a dark face: "What's wrong with my uncle's ancestor taking the school entrance examination?" You don't look at your identity, if it weren't for the face of the man, his old man's status would look at you? Just this experience is enough for you to go back and brag about your grandson as an adult, at the level of your mengtong, worthy of being a giant in the literary world, and being the deputy prime minister to test your knowledge? Phew! How big a face do you think you are? ”

Li Yun belongs to the kind of person who can talk about his own ugly things, and others are never allowed to talk too much. He couldn't wait to beat Su Zhe secretly, but if others said that Su Zhe was not, he would definitely refute it until the other party was speechless.

"Gotta get it, won't I say it?" Zhang Chuan begged for mercy, he thought of Li Kui and Li Yun in his heart, if it weren't for Li Kui's efforts to dispel public opinion, it would be impossible for Yan'an Mansion to send reinforcements to rescue Jinmingzhai. Especially in the face of the 50,000 Western Xia army, Xuanfu made the adults stupid, how could they send rescue? The reinforcements of 5,000 went out of Fushi City, and once they encountered the main force of the party, it could be said that they were more than lucky. This is a fateful friendship, and gratitude is a virtue. This kindness will be hidden in his heart for the rest of his life.

However, the closer he got to the battlefield, the more apprehensive he became. I am afraid to hear the bad news of the battlefield. Although he hoped that his father's Jin Mingzhai would be saved, he also didn't want to see his friends lose their lives in order to help him.

The scouts did not dare to get too close to the battlefield, and the news brought was incomplete. And when they approached the battlefield, they were more thinking about containing part of the strength of the Western Xia army, and they never thought that Li Kui, with his 5,000 foot soldiers, could force the Western Xia people to a desperate situation of retreating.

"Report, the general ordered us to bypass the battlefield and insert the party army diagonally." The flag soldier urged the war horse to come and report the news.

"Crazy, crazy!"

Li Yun didn't speak, but Zhang Chuan lost his temper first. Even he knew that once the Western Xia army was defeated, then the crisis of Jinmingzhai would be solved. But at the same time, he has a kind of tragedy of throwing himself into the net, they are only 2,000 people, impacting the military formation of tens of thousands of people, and the day of the funeral is not far away.

Li Yun doesn't see it that way, although Li Kui is not a master of exhaustive strategies, but when he is desperate, he is always holding the handle steadily. On the contrary, he felt that there must be something wrong with the morale of the Western Xia army, and maybe there was a big advantage to take advantage of.

"Order the whole army, trot up, and prepare to charge!"

"The whole army is moving forward in batches with three talents!"

"The general has an order to arrange the cavalry three talent formation!"

Even if he was riding on a horse, the orders were passed down layer by layer, and the first layer must be Li Yun leading the troops. A general like him can easily establish prestige in the army.

Soon, some subordinates urged the war horse to come to Li Yun's side, and asked Li Yun for orders: "General, let your subordinates serve as the front department, right?" ”

"It's not your turn!" Li Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, so that he could see more clearly. He had already seen that from the Song army's main formation, there was already a cavalry marching around the battlefield towards the junction of the two armies.

"General!" It seems that the subordinates still want to fight for it.

But Li Yun glared and said: "Most of this battle is my second brother as the front, if you want to rob his prestige, go yourself!" ”

If it were a different occasion and a different person, I would have been unhappy for a long time.

But when he heard that it was Li Kui who led the troops to charge, his subordinates actually laughed and coaxed: "The overseer is out of the army, the military general who can stop his old man in this world has not been born yet?" ”

Li Yun said in disgust: "Get out, if you want to make a sycophant, go and tell my second brother in front of me, don't fight in front of me, I won't pass you a message!" ”

"General, isn't the villain too big to reach Master Li?"

Li Yun raised his horsewhip and ordered Zhang Chuan and the others behind him: "Speed up, you must meet the second brother at the junction." ”

"Speed up the whole army!"

The two cavalry forces quickly interspersed the battlefield and soon converged.

On the contrary, among the Chinese army of the Western Xia army, Liang Yishu was puzzled, he was very nervous at first, and the Great Song cavalry that suddenly appeared did not get any warning from the scouts. He didn't know if there were other Song reinforcements, once the Song army was more and more, it would be an absolute nightmare for him and the remaining Western Xia nearly 30,000 horses.

At this time, Ye Limondo also sensed that something was wrong, and suggested: "Marshal, my subordinates suggest that you immediately give up the wounded soldiers, immediately evacuate the battlefield, and the whole army will quickly join the camp outside Jinming Village." Once our army is dragged down, it will be ignored. ”

"Ignore it? This is only possible if the whole army is defeated. Liang Yishu shook his head confidently and said: "In the face of the Liao army, we may have such a mistake. But in the face of the Song army, it was absolutely impossible. ”

Ye Limondo opened his mouth, he really wanted to remind Liang Yishu that under your old wise command, our army of 45,000 people fought hard for a day, not only did not defeat the 5,000 infantry of the Song army, but suffered more than 15,000 casualties.

It's just that this is not the time to stimulate Liang Yishu.

Ye Limondo still wanted to fight for it, and hesitated: "Why don't you let Yan Qiman stop it with an iron harrier?" Our army is not yet in a whole formation, and if it does not leave the battlefield before dark, it will have to be delayed for one more day. And once the Song army rests for a day, it is possible that tomorrow it will continue to hold back our army. Now that the Song army has cavalry, the situation is very unfavorable to our army. ”

"Hahaha...... General Mondo, you are too worried, you look at the battle flag on the battlefield. "Liang Yishu has the kind of heroism that scolds Fang Xuan, and the taste of pointing out the country is very strong. He pointed to the cavalry that appeared in the Song army and said: "This cavalry of the Song army is not an ambush, let alone a reinforcement. It was the cavalry that attacked our army a few days ago, and you also said that the Song army was small, and it was difficult to roar alone, and it was impossible to rise to the wind and waves. ”

That's what he said, but Liang Yishu also has suffering.

The Iron Harriers, who were full of them, had 1,500 horsemen when they set out on the expedition, but now there are less than 600 left. In order to finally attack on the whole front, he cooperated with Ye Limondo to steal the new weapons of the Song army, which damaged many of the elites of the Iron Harriers. With such a loss, Liang Yishu didn't know how to explain to his sister after he went back.

also let the Iron Harrier intercept it, in case he dies, he really can't escape the blame.

Of course, Liang Yishu didn't believe in the Song army, it seemed that with only two or three thousand people, he dared to rush into the 30,000 party army?

The Song people really had such courage, and the Western Xia would have died long ago.

It must have been a bluff, he was sure.

After Li Kui took Ruan Xiaoer, Lu Qian and others with Cheng Zhijie's personal guards, and converged with Li Yun, they did not slow down, but ordered Li Yun: "The heavily armored knights speed up and step forward to form a front department." Charge the whole army! ”

Under Liang Yishu's stunned, Song Jun rushed up like crazy. At this time, he realized that this was not a bluff, but really desperate, he began to get nervous, his palms were full of sweat, and his throat was dry: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!" ”

It's a pity that it was too late to react at this time!
