With two sounds, the two feathered arrows shot by Li Keshi and Wang Bodang whizzed past, and the two archers famous in the history books also made dodging movements at the same time. Li Keshi grasped the rein with his right hand and stood sideways Dodging, pressing his body to the right as much as possible, Wang Bodang, who shot the bow and arrow from his back, quickly put his body on the saddle, trying to keep his body as close to the horse's back as possible to reduce the area hit by the arrow.
No one could completely dodge the incoming arrows, Wang Bodang's arrow hit the right side of Li Keshi's chest, the arrow pierced through his armor, and broke a rib of Li Keshi before stopping, almost entering his lungs, Master Li Ke couldn't help but groaned. But Wang Bodang's side was even worse. The powerful feathered arrow shot by Li Keshi hit his right shoulder, pierced his armor and pierced his flesh, and directly penetrated Wang Bodang's shoulder blade and penetrated deep into his body, almost crushing Wang Bodang's right shoulder. The shoulder joint made his right arm useless, but it also caused Wang Bodang to be seriously injured. He screamed and fled back into the formation, temporarily unable to move his right arm.
Li Keshi, who was also seriously injured, fled back to his own army. Before he could check the wound, he loudly ordered the army to stand firm and the archers to prepare. The result was as expected. The attack was launched under the command. Fortunately, the Sui army was ready. Before that, some temporary fortifications were built to protect the positions. The pain shouted loudly, commanding the inexperienced soldiers under his command to fight in an orderly manner to avoid panic.
Fortunately, although the second-line team brought by Master Li Ke from Guanzhong is seriously inexperienced, they are unambiguous in training equipment. The charge reached within ten steps of the Sui army's position. During this period, many soldiers of Li Mi's army were killed or injured by arrows, and the formation was somewhat messy. And just when these experienced soldiers of Li Mi's army were fortunate to finally be able to display their expertise in melee combat, Li Keshi, who had received his brother's true biography, waved the flag, and the soldiers of the Sui army who knelt on one knee in front of the crossbowmen immediately got up, and at the same time showed With the Mo Dao in his hand, the sharp Mo Dao pointed forward obliquely, as if countless spikes had grown out of nowhere. Many soldiers of Li Mi's army ran into the point of the sword without haste, and immediately let out bursts of screams.
"Soldiers, kill!" The generals of the Sui Army's front team roared, and the soldiers of the Sui Army's Modao soldiers also shouted in unison, "Kill!"
Amidst the roar, Mo Dao slashed up and down, chopping and stabbing, smashing the enemy on the opposite side like a meat grinder, with awe-inspiring power. However, the experienced Li Mijun soldiers were not frightened, and tried their best to parry the Sui army's attack. He grew up with Mo Dao, and whenever he had the opportunity, he stepped forward to fight in close quarters. The sword's light and sword also caused many casualties to the soldiers of the Sui Army.
However, compared with the Jinyongcheng battlefield, the Luoshui battlefield can only be regarded as pediatrics. At this moment, the Jinyongcheng battlefield can no longer be described with words such as raging fire and corpses everywhere, but the real Shura slaughterhouse. ocean.
After the mysterious Xiaoguo army successfully disturbed the rear of the Wang Li coalition army, although the Wang Li coalition army still had a certain advantage, the sequelae of launching a general attack too early gradually began to be exposed. Although Li Mi and Wang Shichong launched a general attack under such circumstances, Li Mi and Wang Shichong certainly seized the upper hand, just like fighting, no matter what happens, they just greet their opponents with watermelon knives and sticks. Attack, but because of the horizontal penetration of the mysterious Xiaoguo army, the Wang Li coalition army failed to turn the upper hand into a victory, failed to defeat the main force of the Xiaoguo army, and they no longer organized in a strict and orderly manner during the general attack. However, the formation gradually revealed its weaknesses, giving the enemy a chance to counterattack.
The Xiaoguo Army, which had escaped the catastrophe, seized this opportunity. After Zhang Tong'er's resignation was relieved a little, the Xiaoguo Army cavalry who still maintained a complete formation behind the central army quickly launched Counterattack, roundabout and outflank with a unit of thousands of people, find space to launch a charge and surprise attack, and disrupt several infantry teams of the Wang Li coalition army. , but also succeeded in sharing the huge pressure for the self-army, allowing the main front team to get a chance to breathe, to move closer to each other and form a group, and to fight back-to-back with the Wang Li coalition army. The casualties are still heavy, but at least they are not facing collapse like they did at the beginning Danger.
The scale of the melee is getting bigger and bigger. From east to west for ten miles, there are bloody battlefields of life and death. In order to survive and win, the generals and soldiers of the three armies risked their lives and fought with each other with their lives. On the ground, wounded soldiers from all sides uttered miserable cries for help among the corpses, but these cries for help were completely submerged in the sound of sonic boom-like shouts of killing, the sound of horseshoes colliding with gold and iron, and the living people stepped on the bodies of the dead. And blood, still fighting and fighting, even if the soldiers from the three parties who wrestled and rolled on the ground could stand up, their whole body, face and hair were all covered with blood and minced meat, and the snow was continuously melted by the blood, flowing and converging into small The creeks accumulate into puddles of blood that can submerge the insteps.
The number of casualties of the three warring parties is constantly rising, and blood is constantly pouring out of the wounds of the three giants, Li Mijun, Dongdu Army, and Xiaoguo Army. Li Mi, who was the most confident, also had a livid face, feeling extremely distressed by this situation, but the matter has come to this point, neither Li Mi nor Wang Shichong dared to order the retreat to preserve their strength—to stop at this time is not only a waste of previous efforts , or tantamount to suicide! The Xiaoguo army, who has already killed their red eyes, will never let go of the opportunity to take the opportunity to counterattack in an all-round way! Therefore, Wang Shichong and Li Mi had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue fighting, competing with the Xiaoguo Army to see who would bleed faster and more, and who would be the first to lose their injuries and fall down!
Fortunately, the combined forces of Wang and Li still have a good chance of winning. The Xiaoguo Army, which was tortured by the severe cold and injuries, was completely supported by one breath. If it is going to collapse and collapse, coupled with Hua Jixiong's seriously failing commander value, such a situation is almost a certainty. Therefore, Wang Shichong and Li Mi have the confidence to continue no matter how heavy the loss is, because they know very well in their hearts that the longer they support, the more the balance of victory will be in favor of them!
Of course, this has to be based on the fact that the Wang-Li Lianjun did not have any accidents. What Li Mi didn't expect was that the scouts sent to the south to investigate why there was a wolf smoke actually brought him back. Li Mi was extremely annoyed by the fact that Master Li Ke turned his face and started fighting, but he had no choice but to order the scouts to continue to investigate and report the situation of the battle in Luoshui at any time. Dang teamed up to attack Li Keshi who had publicly offered help to Hua Jixiong.
Wang Shichong didn't want to open a new battlefield at this time, and he didn't want to turn against his son-in-law, who was strong and strong but couldn't make the main force eastward for the time being. Tieqing yelled loudly, "Go and send an order to Jun Kuo immediately, let him lead the army to attack, and cooperate with Wang Bodang to pinch Li Ke and Shifu! No matter the cost, we must win!"
As soon as Wang Shichong's messenger left, another scout sent an urgent report to Li Mi, saying that while Yang Defang was chasing the mysterious Xiaoguo army, he had fought with the cavalry of the Guanzhong Sui Army who claimed to have captured the Xiaoguo army. Li Mi couldn't help but turn pale, but he immediately shouted: "Tell Yang Defang, fight to the end! Try to defeat the enemy, even if you don't have enough strength to fight, you can't let the Chen thief cavalry approach the Jinyong city battlefield!"
Li Mi's order was issued a little later, the process of cavalry battle was already fast, and Yang Defang's army, whose physical strength had declined seriously, only had seven or eight hundred men, and they took the initiative to attack the two thousand cavalry under Xian Yuzhi's command, and were used by the cavalry of the Sui army. After a violent bow and arrow shot, it was even more difficult to parry the Sui cavalry's full counterattack when it came to close combat. They were defeated within a moment of the battle, and when Li Mi's messengers found Yang Defang, Yang Defang's army They have already withdrawn from the Golden Valley Garden, and at the same time, the scarce cavalry has also chased to the Golden Valley Garden area, which is less than twenty miles away from the battlefield of Jinyong City.
After receiving Li Mi's order, Yang Defang was forced to have no choice but to bite the bullet and turn around to fight again. As a result, Yang Defang himself carried out the order resolutely, but the cavalry horses under his command were not made of iron and steel, and the effect of turning around and fighting again was even worse. The cavalry of the Sui Army who was about to be raided by a group was rushed to pieces and broke into pieces. The soldiers fled seriously.
Unknowingly, the swinging balance of victory and defeat tilted a little more towards the Xiaoguo army. Pei Renji, a professional cheater, lost his chain again at this critical moment, and was defeated by Fan Wenchao and Meng Jing, who were eager to withdraw and return to the main force. Pei Renji, who was afraid of death, was defeated The soldiers fled one after another, and Xiaoguo's left wing took the opportunity to move closer to the main force, shrinking its forces to fight against Wang Li's allied army, and also took the opportunity to attack Li Mi's army in the middle with the main force. Seeing this scene, Li Mi was so anxious that his black face turned pale, and he couldn't bear it and shouted: "Go tell Pei Renji, give him a stick of incense time, gather the army, and continue to attack the left wing of the Xiaoguo army! If you can't do this, I want him head!"
The order was issued with a roar, and the bad news came suddenly. The southern line reported that Wang Bodang had been seriously injured on the battlefield. The shaken Wang Bodang army had been forced to retreat, and Li Ke's army took the opportunity to counterattack and bit the tail of Wang Bodang's army, which put Wang Bodang's army in a very dangerous situation. Li Mi was even more furious when he heard this, and shouted: "Tell Wang Bodang, his teacher, I am still fine, and tell him to stand firm for me, and the southern line must not be defeated!"
Worse news came one after another. It was learned that Yang Defang had been defeated by the Sui cavalry, and that the Sui cavalry had already approached Jinyong City fifteen miles away. Li also suddenly had only one thought left, and secretly said: "It's over! As soon as the Chen thief cavalry appears on the battlefield of Jinyong City, it will hit our army's morale and encourage the Xiaoguo army, we will lose!"
At the same time, Wang Shichong also received the news that the Sui cavalry was approaching from the rear army of the Eastern Capital. Like Li Mi, he was almost not fainted by the news. After a little calculation, Wang Shichong immediately shouted: "Send someone to Contact Li Mi and ask him what to do? I have brought all my cavalry here, and there are no cavalry in the Eastern Capital city to stop Chen’s cavalry. Ask him what to do?! Also, order the whole army to report to my commander-in-chief The flags move closer!"
Wang Shichong ordered the whole army to move closer to his commander-in-chief, of course he was preparing for defeat and fleeing for his life. In fact, Li Mi had already done the same - quietly ordering the cavalry and elite infantry of the internal army to move closer to his commander-in-chief. When Wang Shichong's envoy came in front of Li Mi, Li Mi only thought about it for less than three seconds, and immediately ordered: "Go back to the camp and send an order to Yu Wenwen, asking him to bring all the jewelry in our camp. Immediately go to stop the Chen thief cavalry, how to explain and how to make an apology is up to Yu Wenwen, but no matter what, let the Chen thief cavalry stop advancing, and don't appear on the battlefield of Jin Yongcheng at this time!"
"Wei Gong, it's too late!" Chai Xiaohe who was next to him hurriedly reminded: "The Chen bandit cavalry was only fifteen miles away from here. If they came quickly, they would be able to reach the battlefield of Jinyong City in at most one stick of incense time!"
"Try your luck." Li Mi said with a miserable expression, "Anyway, if we lose this battle, those gold, silver and jewels will not be kept."
"Then the next official will go to intercept Chen's bandit cavalry first, explain his plea to them, and buy time for Yu Wenwen as much as possible."
Chai Xiaohe hurriedly volunteered, Li Mi nodded, Chai Xiaohe no longer hesitated, led a few cavalry guards and left the battlefield, Pegasus first went to beg Chen Sangliang's cavalry to stop. Li Mi turned to Wang Shichong's envoy who was waiting next to him, and said to him: "Go and tell Wang Shichong what I did. He is close. If he is like me, our hope may be even greater. Yun Ding Xing is greedy and shameless, and there is a little hope in doing so."
Wang Shichong's envoy agreed, Pegasus went back to report to Wang Shichong, Wang Shichong did not hesitate at all, and immediately shouted: "Go back to the city and send an order to my elder brother, asking him to send a generous gift to the old man Yun Dingxing's army immediately. I beg them to stop advancing and not enter the Jinyongcheng battlefield! Remember to tell my brother that you must not be stingy this time. If you are stingy at this time, our main force will be finished! Also, ask Wang Junkuo to withdraw for me!"
At the same time, as Wang Shichong and Li Mi took the initiative to gather their forces, the situation on the battlefield in Jinyong City gradually stabilized. Taking advantage of the weakening of the offensive of Wang and Li's allied forces, the Xiaoguo Army also took the opportunity to shrink their forces, and gradually gathered into a regiment to compete with Wang. Li Lianjun fought, and the three warring parties have lost hope of quickly defeating their opponents. The seriously injured Xiaoguo army will not last long. On the basis of not continuing to interfere.
The most glorious moment of General Yun's life has finally come. After reaching the pinnacle of brazenness, the 10,000 or so second-line troops currently commanded by General Yun have become the decisive force in the super-large-scale decisive battle of the 130,000 troops in Jinyong City. If he stood on the side of Wang Shichong and Li Mi to attack the Xiaoguo army, the Xiaoguo army would surely be defeated. If he stood on the side of the Xiaoguo army, he would immediately become Marshal Blücher on the Battle of Waterloo, making Li Mi Both Wang Shichong and Wang Shichong became Napoleon on the battlefield of Waterloo! Who wins and who loses, who lives and who dies, has become our old general Yun's final say!
What absolutely made Li Mi and Wang Shichong unbelievable was that the Sui cavalry led by Xian Yuzhi unexpectedly stopped advancing after only ten miles away from Jinyong City, so that when Chai Xiao and Kuai Ma rushed to the scene, there was no Believe your own eyes, and then, when Chai Xiaohe bowed and bowed and explained that it was just a misunderstanding before, he answered in a rare and unexpected way: "I also know that it was a misunderstanding, and I was forced to fight back. I have already sent someone to report to Old General Yun about what happened just now, and asked him to make a decision, and the rear army led by the old man is coming soon, and I will wait for his order."
After Chai Xiaohe breathed a sigh of relief, it didn't take long for Yu Wenwen and Wang Xuanshu to gallop up to Xianyu Zhi's army at a speed that was enough to run to the death of a war horse. The wealthy and powerful were envious of the generous gifts. While explaining the misunderstanding, they begged the Sui Army in Guanzhong not to intervene in the Jinyongcheng battlefield. Xian Yuzhi accepted these generous gifts without hesitation, and then told the envoys of Wang and Li's second army that he had to wait for General Yun's rear army orders Make another decision.
If Li Mi and Wang Shichong could learn more about the progress of the rear army led by General Yun, they would surely die of anger. In fact, the 7,000 infantry led by General Yun did not move fast when they first set off. After the news that the war had already begun, he ordered to advance at a faster speed, and after receiving less than qualitative battle reports, General Yun ordered the whole army to advance at full speed, marching in a hurry to the battlefield of Jinyongcheng, and arrived at Jinyongcheng smoothly in the afternoon of the same day Ten miles away from the battlefield, he met Xian Yuzhi.
Ignoring Chai Xiaohe and others who swarmed up to bow and bow, General Yun first ordered them to be driven aside, and then he couldn't wait to ask Xianyu about the latest battle situation in Jinyongcheng. After learning that the three armies had reached a stalemate again, Old General Yun did not hesitate, and immediately thanked the Wang and Li families for their great gifts, and then said in a moaning voice: "Please report back to General Shichong and Mr. Fazhu, and please rest assured that I just misunderstood before I knew it. I will not use this as an excuse to go to war against them, and I will not spare Yu Wenhuaji, the king-killing traitor. The soldiers under my command have come from far away to work hard and need to rest. Let’s talk about other things later.”
The vague and ambiguous answer made Chai Xiaohe, Wang Xuanshu and others feel annoyed, but at this critical moment, Chai Wang and others did not dare to turn against General Yun, they could only promise to promise, and at the same time sent someone to report to Wang Shichong and Li Mifei However, our old general Yun suddenly turned to the Luoyang city in front of him, and said to Wang Xuanshu with a smile: "Nephew Xuanshu, I have something to remind you. It is best not to go out of the city to the north of the army guarding Luoyang. Otherwise, our army may be forced to move its base for its own safety."
Looking at Old General Yun with incomparable resentment, Wang Xuanshu swallowed his anger and replied: "Don't worry, Old General, we won't send troops. If we send troops, how can we wait until your rear troops arrive, Old General?"
"Don't make empty favors, can your infantry run faster than the old man's cavalry?" General Yun's frank words with a sneer made Wang Xuanshu shut his mouth even more.
At this moment, the Xiaoguo army is actually exhausted, but because General Yun's army has arrived close to the battlefield, the Wang Li Lianjun who is also exhausted has no ability to destroy the Xiaoguo army in one blow. , and did not dare to take the risk of General Yun's sudden intervention and mobilize the camp and the defenders in the city to launch another strong attack. After receiving General Yun's reply, Wang Shichong and Li Mi immediately understood everything, and they all shook their heads and sighed: "I underestimate this shameless old man, he doesn't want us, let alone help Yu Wenhua and Ah, he just wanted us to lose all three, and he took advantage of the opportunity to reap the benefits. This is what this old man really did."
It's too late to regret it. After most of the day's fierce fighting, Wang Shichong lost more than 13,000 troops, and nearly half of his troops were lost. The same is true for the elite Huainan elite soldiers, leaving only about 4,000 troops. Li Mi's losses were even more terrible, with more than 20,000 casualties, and more than 3,000 losses of the ace cavalry of the internal army. The fierce general was injured, among them, Sun Changle had his right arm cut off and was shot with eight arrows. There was almost no hope of rescue. Most of the elite infantrymen were lost, and the rest were all exhausted, unable to fight any more, bleeding so much that they couldn't flow anymore.
Of course, the casualties of the Xiaoguo Army were also huge. At the same time, the Xiaoguo Army had obviously discovered that General Yun had arrived close to the battlefield, and had sent envoys from Jinyong City several times to try to get in touch with General Yun. Although they were all stopped, there was no guarantee that they could continue to stop all the envoys of the Effect Army. As a last resort, Li Mi and Wang Shichong had no choice but to have a hasty meeting on the battlefield, and they unanimously decided to withdraw their troops and return to the city to return to the camp, not to take the risk of continuing to fight—the threat of Old General Yun, a shameless old man, is too great. As soon as he came out, he didn't need to do anything himself, those Xiaoguo troops would rush up like chicken blood and smash the Wang Li coalition army to pieces.
The golden gong sounded, and the two armies of Wang Shichong and Li Mi, who had already gathered into a group, retreated immediately. The Xiaoguo army, who was so tired that they couldn't even stand still, had no energy to pursue. One after another sat on the blood-soaked snow field to pant, and many soldiers even lay their pillows directly on the corpses and fell into a drowsy sleep. Fatigue, illness, and severe cold tortured these poor Xiaoguo soldiers, and many of them never died in the blood. Waking up on the snowy plain.
Brother Hua Ji, who had already left the handsome flag and hid back to Jinyong City, was also relieved, and quickly sent envoys out of the city, begging Old General Yun to help take the opportunity to attack Li Mijun's camp. However, Brother Hua probably never imagined that before his envoys passed through the blockade to meet Old General Yun, and as soon as they discovered that Li Mi and Wang Shichong had collected their troops, General Yun had already ordered with a smile on his face: "Send orders to the entire army." , withdraw to Xin'an, and then give Hakka an order to let him withdraw to Xin'an immediately, and I will meet him at Cijian."
"Old general, is this the end?" Xian Yuzhi hurriedly asked in a low voice: "At this time, Li Mi, Wang Shichong, Yu Wenhua and the bandit army of the third route have suffered heavy casualties and are exhausted. If we act now, at least one bandit bandit army can be wiped out." Army?"
"Rabbits bite when they get anxious." Old General Yun replied with a sneer, "Don't forget, Wang Shichong has the garrison of the Eastern Capital, Li Mi has the garrison of the camp, and Nephew Hua Ji also has the garrison of Jin Yongcheng. These are all new forces. All of them can pose a threat to us. Besides, even if we can destroy one bandit army at any cost, it will only be in vain for the other two bandit armies. Give them a sigh of relief and let them continue to contain each other. This is the best thing for us. favorable."
While Xian Yuzhi was sober and nodded, Old General Yun patted him on the shoulder again, and said with a smile, "Wait to receive the reward and be promoted. After today's battle is over, let alone that it is impossible for the three bandits to join forces to attack us again, even They really came together. Generals He Yanyu and General Liu Heitai behind us are enough to deal with them easily. The complicated task entrusted to us by Prime Minister Chen has been completed today. The battle of Dongdu is also considered to be an end today. After a while, no one will be able to threaten the safety of our Eastern Front any longer.”
Xian Yuzhi nodded again, and said sincerely: "Using the small to fight the big, and using the weak to defeat the strong, our army can win today's situation, it is all thanks to the old general's supernatural power."
After finishing speaking, Xian Yuzhi added in his heart, "Your old man's superficial skills are indeed invincible in the world."
