Time is approaching April step by step, Li Dao, who was originally on the attacking side, completely fell into the defense, the terrain around Yangqiao is very flat, so flat that it is difficult to see even the high ground, with Yuan Shao sent back more and more soldiers, Li Dao's army can only be defeated, and finally in the distance from Yangqiao forty miles away, find a high ground to hold.

"Second brother, it's not okay to go on like this, the brothers can't hold it anymore, I really don't know what the lord thinks, there are so many enemies, why are they reluctant to send reinforcements......" It was Li Ying, the younger brother of Li Dao, who had been holding on here for nearly ten days since they retreated to this place, looking at the enemy troops surging not far away, no wonder he said this.

"Well, how the lord plans to do it, he has his own reason, how can we speculate about such things? It's not that I said you, but now you are too uncontrolled, don't you know the truth that trouble comes from your mouth? Li Wei waved his hand impatiently, and couldn't help glaring at Li Ying fiercely as he spoke.

Obviously, Li Dao also has opinions on Dong Zhuo's "inaction" in his heart, but his mind is more cautious than Li Ying's, and he won't say many words at all.

"What are you afraid of, these are all our henchmen, even if you say it, no one else will know, not to mention that what I am saying is the truth, even if the lord is here, I can't help but let people speak." Li Ying was very unconvinced, and replied stubbornly, it was not that he wanted to fight with his brother, but he was really pressed and beaten for more than half a month, and he couldn't get out of his chest in one breath.

"Forget it, third brother, you say that we won't have reinforcements coming, let's think about how to retreat from the enemy!" Li Wei stretched out his hand and dragged Li Ying, for fear that he would make Li Wei angry.

I have to say that in order to win this battle, Li Dao really made his old mistakes. Li Dao is a native of Niyang, the Li family is not very big even in the local area, at best it can only be regarded as a cold family, there are five children in the clan of his generation, in addition to his brother's early death, his brother Li Ying, Li Wei, Li Huan were all brought by him, the so-called tiger brothers, the most important thing in ancient times, is such a kind of blood kinship.

However, Li Dao's wife Yang Fei of the Yang family is the daughter of Yang Qi in the service, Hongnong Yang, it can be said that it is the same as the Yuan family of Runan, it is the big family of the fourth generation and the third prince of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but it is a pity that Li Dao's background and his subsequent military behavior made him not get much care of the Hongnong Yang family, and later Dong Zhuo's reputation became worse and worse, as his minions Li Dao was naturally no better, and it is not an exaggeration to compare the two families with strangers.

Complaining and complaining, Li Ying still has some talent in his hands, but he is second only to Li Dao among the brothers, and after a moment of silence, he analyzed aloud: "The enemy has more than 100,000 soldiers who have entered the war, but we only have 50,000 in our hands, originally we did not have an advantage, and now after several wars, although it is not as great as the enemy's loss of 40,000 people, but the people we can fight now are only 20,000 people, and more importantly, there are not many weapons in our army." ”

Speaking of equipment, Li Ying was also a little speechless in his heart, there are still a lot of people in the army who can shoot arrows, but they haven't used up for more than half a month, which shows how many arrows Dong Zhuo allocated to them before. Of course, if it weren't for so many arrows, they wouldn't have been able to survive until now, Li Wei is resourceful and can plan well, but in the face of absolute strength, the influence of many things has been greatly weakened, and these arrows have become an important weapon for them to resist the enemy.

"Doesn't that mean we'll soon be out of the question?" Levi's face changed wildly, and he shouted in a somewhat miserable voice.

"Fourth brother, there is a second brother, what are you afraid of." I have to say that there are several Li Dao brothers, the difference in personality is really a bit big, Li Huan is the youngest among them, but he also has no heart, in his opinion, there is Li Dao in everything is fine, his big grinning personality does not care about other things at all, and compared to the old man, Li Wei seems to be an understanding person, but he is a little timid.

"Brother Huan, stop talking, your fourth brother is worried about the war, how can he be like you, he refuses to use his brain for anything, I am not omnipotent, if there is a way, will I be forced to retreat again and again?" Li Dao Huo Ran spoke up and stopped the few people in the debate, but thinking of the current situation, he was also a little difficult.

"Second brother, you see that we will not retreat again, there is a flat river around here, and there is not even a favorable place to defend, who knows when the enemy will bring a cavalry there, and at that time, I am afraid that it will be a problem for us to run." After hesitating, Li Ying still said what he thought in his heart.

"Okay, don't think about the retreat for the time being, when I ask for the order to come, the lord's request is to hold on steadily, so as to tie down the enemy's army, now we have retreated more than fifty miles, and if we retreat again, I am afraid that it will ruin the lord's plan." As he spoke, Li Dao couldn't help but show a trace of bitterness on his face: "If I hadn't wanted to make a great contribution and moved him to think, we wouldn't have fallen into such a situation now, and now there are more than 20,000 people in the army, and we don't have the strength to fight." ”

"War is war, and we are not afraid of death." Vigorously patted a few times on his chest, and Li Huan said with a blank look on his face.

"Alas, I just don't know how many brothers will survive after this war." Before Li Dao could speak, Li Ying suddenly sighed.

"No matter how much it costs, we must also hold on, now the enemy has sent more than 100,000 people from the Xinzheng battlefield, which means that now there are 100,000 fewer enemies in the lord's place, and after the lord wins, a large army will inevitably be sent to support, so we must hold on." As if to cheer up others, Li Wei said so, but in his heart, he actually wanted to say that if the army retreated, then all his efforts in the past month would be turned into ashes, but in this case, can he say it?

"The situation is a little wrong, at this time in the past, the enemy is already about to attack, second brother, you see, it has been so long now, they haven't made the slightest move, there won't be any conspiracy in this, right?" When a few people were talking, Li Wei's eyes kept staring at the enemy army in the distance, and at this time, Li Wei's voice fell, and he suddenly said in a deep voice.

Several people looked over when they heard the sound, but because the distance was a little too far, they couldn't see anything after staring at it for a long time.

No one paid attention, and while they were discussing here, a cavalry team with white horses as mounts had quietly appeared on the Yangqiao battlefield-White Horse Yicong.
