The morale was at a high and the enemy's position was not stable. Each of the three squadrons of the central army's vanguard army, consisting of 2,000 men, were as fast as three long snakes, as sharp as sharp arrows, as fast as thunder and lightning, and as wild as the wind and rain, they ran up the hillside and broke into the enemy's position.
When Li Mi and his generals arrived at the slope, before the flag was set up, they ordered their men to rush down the slope to intercept the first charge in the hope of killing the enemy. After regrouping, they could fight with superior force.
Arrows were fired from the sky, and the two cavalrymen met and fought at close quarters in the middle of the hilly slope that was several miles long.
The four thousand elite cavalry led by Yang Gongqing are still advancing steadily but slowly.
Xu Ziling, who was riding on his left, officially participated in the bloody battle between the two armies on the battlefield. It was a pure cavalry battle with both victory and defeat. He could not help but be frightened by the tragic atmosphere. He felt deeply that in such a situation with thousands of troops and horses,
No matter how skilled you are, what you really rely on is the power of group cooperation.
Yang Gongqing's eyes were shining brightly as he looked at Li Mi, who was sitting high on the horse under Commander Po Chu, and said to Xu Ziling: The cavalry is also known as the clutch soldier because it can separate and gather for hundreds of miles and travel for thousands of miles.
This is the decisive force. If this trip to our side was not all about attacking the cavalry that was rushing towards us, why would Li Mier be so embarrassed?
Xu Ziling saw that although Li Mi's cavalry could not help but fall down, due to constant reinforcements, it was difficult for his own cavalry to advance, resulting in a melee. When he was worried, his cavalry on both sides had already attacked the enemy from both sides, and ordered the Wagang army to attack.
There was no time to cope with the chaos and the whole formation was involved.
At this time, his mood had almost returned to calmness.
Next to Li Mi, he saw the beautiful Shen Luoyan staring at him fiercely.
At this moment, thick smoke rose into the sky behind Li Mi, shouting to kill Zhentian.
Yang Gongqing laughed and said: Li Mi'er has fallen into the trap! Whoever can cut off his head will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold.
These three sentences he was lucky enough to deliver shocked the entire audience.
The war drums were beating wildly, and Yang Gongqing's most elite cavalry finally entered the battlefield, kicking off an all-out decisive battle. Xu Ziling thought of the bloody feud between Zhai Rang Longtou Mansion and Ren En and others and rushed out on horseback and ran up the slope.
The tired soldiers of Wagang who had been traveling all night saw the flames rising from the rear camp and ran away without any intention of fighting. They could not stop Yanshi's elite cavalry, who became more courageous and powerful as they fought.
Li Mi and his nearly 10,000 soldiers finally moved towards Yang Gongqing's central army and rushed down, hoping to turn the tide and prevent the enemy from falling.
It's a pity that since ancient times, there has never been a place where reality and cruelty are more realistic and cruel than the battlefield. If the defeat is successful, even if Sun Wu is resurrected and Kong Ming is reincarnated, he will be unable to make a comeback.
Xu Ziling led a group of more than 500 soldiers to meet Li Mi with overwhelming force.
Every time a gun is fired, whether it is a pick or a stab, it is like a flash torrent that hits the opponent and throws them to death. No one is spared. Especially, he only has to deal with enemies rushing down from above, and he can use spears as a long-range attack weapon.
The characteristics are fully demonstrated.
In this moment of sharp confrontation, you will die or I will die, and mercy has no place at all.
when!
A long sword struck him like a divine sword falling from the sky with what he thought was a sure-kill shot.
After Xu Ziling calmed down and took a look, he realized that the sword wielder was actually Pei Renji, who was known as the Wagang Twin Tiger General as well as Wang Bo.
The front was densely packed with Wagang troops, and the pressure immediately doubled. Soldiers on the left and right fell down one after another, and their empty positions were instantly filled by those who came after them.
Xu Ziling let out a loud roar, and his heart welled up with the bloody enemy who was fighting alongside him. The enemy's enemy had tragically died. Thousands of spear shadows appeared from his spear in his hand, and he attacked Pei Renji like a strong wind and huge waves.
※※※
Kou Zhong and others used Zhai Jiao, who was as strong as a lion, to lead more than 200 people from scattered to gathered, like a sharp blade, piercing the enemy's rear.
At this moment, the rear was filled with flames and thick smoke, and there was no way to retreat. Sometimes the morning wind would blow up the smoke and make people choke, making people just want to get away as soon as possible. When they fought desperately up the long hilly slope, the enemy desperately scattered to both sides without knowing their true strength. This greatly increased their power.
The two of them work together to cut through the metal.
These more than 200 people are all Zhai Rang's disciples. They have been following Zhai Rang since the Wagang uprising. They have been waiting for this opportunity for revenge. Their necks are growing long, and they know that if they can't join up with their own troops in front, they will only die. It will be beneficial to everyone. Work hard.
On one side were the exhausted soldiers who were panicking, and on the other were the revenge troops determined to die. The distance between them was so great that it was impossible to tell the truth.
The Wagang Army has entered into a panic that is spreading like a plague and is no longer able to organize effective resistance.
Kou Zhong and others dispersed a cavalry regiment sent by Li Mi to intercept them and finally arrived at the top of the mountain.
I saw scattered enemy troops all over the mountains and plains, and fierce battles were fought in the middle of the hillside and on both sides of the hills. Some Yanshi troops who had broken through the enemy's defense lines were rushing left and right to kill the enemy in the collapsed enemy formation.
The dense mass of casualties on the hillside fully demonstrated the ruthlessness of war. The blood stained the grassy hillside with patches of blood red, which was shocking.
Zhai Jiao caught a glimpse of Li Mi Shuaiqi shouting: Zhai Rang's daughter is here to ask for her life today!
He patted his horse and rushed towards Li Mi's personal troops below.
They all wear red hair to identify themselves.
When the people on his own side saw him, they immediately gave way; most of Li Mi's specially selected elite soldiers were Zhai. The one recognized by the old army was the eldest sister Zhai Jiao. Psychologically, Zhai Jiao no longer dared to stop her and the defeat was already established. She led a large number of dead soldiers to kill them. At that moment, my heart was so frightened that I could only flee in a hurry.
The last remaining fighting spirit of the Wagang Army finally collapsed.
When everyone seemed to be in an uninhabited land and rushed behind Li Mi's personal troops, more than a hundred people came up the slope. The leaders recognized the two brothers Xu Shiji and Changbai Fu Zhen, and the two brothers Fu Yan. The former was holding a long halberd, and behind Both of them still used their usual Changke ax and Diaojian. All three of them had blood-stained shirts and looked ferocious but tired.
Kou Zhong laughed loudly, jumped up from his horse, looked at the three of them and rushed towards him, shouting: Kou Zhong is coming!
Kou Zhong's name was now known to the whole world. When someone among Li Mi's soldiers heard this, they were timid and left the team to escape. Dang!
Dang! Dang!
Kou Zhong couldn't help but bounce up and down, Jing Zhongyue struck with lightning and caught the three of them hard.
Zhai Jiao and others also fought to the point where they immediately defeated the counterattacking army.
Fu Zhen and Fu Yan were so courageous that they couldn't use even half of their usual strength. When they saw this, they ran away.
Xu Shiji was unable to stand alone, so he turned over and fell off his horse, narrowly avoiding Kou Zhongbi's move.
Zhai Jiao leaned over and slashed his chest with a sword.
Xu Shiji was also able to throw away his halberd, draw his sword and block her sword. Dang!
Xu Shiji was chopped down with his sword and fell down the slope, but he still managed to save his life.
Zhai Jiao has been practicing hard day and night for the past few years so that at this moment, she has no time to deal with the others and kills Li Mi with a loud shout.
Xuanyong, Tu Shufang and a group of subordinates hurriedly followed. Kou Zhong, who was unstoppable, jumped up on Xu Shiji's empty horse and took off. Li Mi, Pei Renji, Shen Luoyan, Zu Junyan and others who were fighting with Xu Ziling and others were standing there. The sky above looks like soldiers from heaven descending to earth.
Under normal circumstances, being so high up in the air and completely exposing your body to the enemy's arrows, swords, and guns would be tantamount to committing suicide. However, at this moment, the enemies were too busy to avoid him, fearing that they would not have time to attack him.
After Xu Ziling injured Pei Renji, he finally had a head-on confrontation with Li Mi.
After a while in the deserted village, Xu Ziling came face-to-face with this world-famous overlord again.
Li Mi has a burly figure, a majestic appearance, and an ancient look. His long shoulders are draped on both sides of his broad shoulders, and his armor and stomach are shining brightly. When he waves the heavy steel spear in his hand, his eyes are like cold lightning, and he really has an arrogant and majestic spirit.
However, he had multiple injuries on his body, and he was stabbed with dozens of spears, but Xu Ziling tried his best to block and fight, making it difficult for him to escape.
Every time Xu Ziling blocked his spear, it was like being hit by a heavy stone, causing his blood to surge.
Fortunately, his energy from the Immortality Art and the He's Bi were not only able to remove the opponent's energy, but also regenerate new energy. One shot was as heavy as the other.
However, his riding skill was obviously not as good as that of his opponent, so he could only be on the defensive against Li Mi.
Kou Zhong volleyed forward and immediately turned the entire situation around.
Although Li Mi had less than 2,000 soldiers left by his side at this time, his strength was twice that of the enemy and he had the advantage of being on a high hillside. If not for Kou Zhong's unexpected troops attacking from behind, he would have been able to hold on for a while. It may be possible to fight but not retreat until we are scattered and fleeing like we are now, unable to form an army.
However, the Yanshi troops were never able to weaken the Wagang Army to the point where they could gather together and annihilate them. They only gained the upper hand. As they intercepted the escaping enemies, they kept expanding the battlefield, causing the war to spread to the long grasslands and sparse forest areas at the foot of the hillside.
If you don't leave now, how long will it take?
Li Mi sighed secretly in his heart.
If it were not a fight to the death but a daily battle in the rivers and lakes, even if he faced a team as powerful as Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong, he would still be able to use all his strength to win.
However, in this situation, he has become the target of public criticism. Thousands of enemies are attacking him in waves. At any time, he has to deal with multiple weapons. Not only are there not many exquisite moves, but he also has to choose. Either take a knife or feed the tip of a spear to avoid a truly fatal attack.
Naturally, he did not dare to use all his strength to avoid losing too much real energy and losing all his strength.
The usual tricks of using simple, direct and effective moves to lure and seduce the enemy are not used here.
He knew that if Kou Zhong came to the end and was pestered by a master like Xu Ziling to fight, it would be a dead end.
When Li Mi was about to shout for retreat, Shen Luoyan had already ridden in between him and Xu Ziling and shouted: "Mi Gong, leave quickly!"
Li Mi knew that he had the only chance to escape before him, and finally shouted a sentence he had never uttered since his debut to fight for world hegemony: Let's go, everyone!
Li Ma jumped up and shot Kou Zhong with the steel spear in his hand.
when!
The two of them threw themselves away in opposite directions at the same time.
call!
Zhai Jiao's Guandao flew out of the sky three feet across the battlefield and swung it towards Li Mi.
Pei Renji and others exclaimed at the same time: Secret public heart!
Clang!
Li Mi returned the spear and swung the sword directly, then used the force to fly up and fall, kicking an enemy off his horse and riding towards the east.
At this time, Xu Ziling blocked Shen Luoyan's swords for more than ten times but failed to return even half of his spears. He smiled bitterly and said: "Beautiful military advisor, please!" Shen Luoyan cried with tears in her eyes: "Hello, Xu Ziling!"
He reined in his horse and galloped away after his own defeated warriors.
Zhai was so frightened that he led his men and horses in pursuit.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling knew very well that a poor enemy should not be pursued, and they followed her hurriedly for fear that she would miss her.
The retreat horn finally sounded to indicate the direction of retreat.
The melee turned into a chase for more than ten miles. Yang Gongqing was worried about Shan Xiongxin's army and then retreated.
This was the first victory since the war between Wang Shichong's army and Wagang's army.
At this time, Li Mi was defeated and fled to Luokou. The remaining 40,000 cavalrymen only had more than 10,000 people and suffered heavy casualties.
However, Yanshi's army only lost more than 2,000 troops and won easily and beautifully.
※※※
Kou Zhong sat on a rock next to the Luo River with his upper body naked, like a golden sword, and let the army doctor treat the wounds on his left arm, right waist and chest.
Yang Gongqing has led his army back to Yanshi to prevent Shan Xiongxin from taking advantage of Yanshi's weak defense to attack the city. Only a thousand soldiers are left to prevent Li Mi from turning back for a sneak attack or to join forces with Shan Xiongxin's troops to reorganize the army.
Xu Ziling had been bandaged early and his injuries were less serious than Kou Zhong's. This was because he had the advantage from the beginning and was not as strong as Kou Zhong who penetrated deep into the enemy's position with a small force.
As the sun set above the Western Mountains, the soldiers rested in formation on several nearby hills and looked at the plains on both sides of the river downstream toward Luokou.
Four warships moored at the shore and brought them military provisions, medicine, and laborers to clean up the mess.
The bodies of our own soldiers will be sent back to Yanshi for burial, while the enemy's corpses will be dug and buried on the spot to avoid the spread of plague.
Zhai Jiao, Xuanyong and others are still searching for traces of the enemy nearby and have not yet turned back.
Kou Zhong smiled bitterly at Xu Ziling and said: No matter how great your martial arts skills are on the battlefield, it is still impossible for you not to be injured. The problem is how to avoid fatal blows. Now that my body is full of muscle aches and bone pain, even a fierce battle with Zhu Yuyan is not that strenuous.
Xu Ziling was speechless for a while as he watched the four slave laborers laboriously pushing a cart full of corpses towards the warship.
At this time, Linglongjiao, who was scouting Li Mi's defeated army, came back with more than ten cavalry, dismounted, and bravely came to the room between the two men and reported: Li Mi was defeated miserably this time. Along the way, there were people who couldn't help but fell off their horses and even dropped their flags.
. I'm afraid he never dreamed of such a tragic battle when he raised the army.
Kou Zhong looked up and down her exquisite and convex body several times and smiled and said: Only those like Jiaojiao who can control the situation remotely on the bloody battlefield can be unscathed!
Linglong Jiaojiao's face turned red and she said: If you mocked me for not being able to contribute on the battlefield, I would never let you go. But seeing that you call me Jiaojiao sounds so nice and seeing that your face is blue and your lips are pale because of your injuries, I will let you go for the time being.
Kou Zhong smiled and said: I am just relieved to see that your delicate body is well! Has Li Mi gone back to his hometown, Luokou?
I'm running away so fast.
Zhai Jiao also came back. She jumped off her horse with an excited look on her face and shouted: "We will attack Luokou immediately."
Xuanyong and Tu Shufang both frowned and winked at Kou Zhonglian.
Kou Zhong said to everyone's surprise: "If the heroes have the same idea, let's take a boat back to Yanshi to discuss the plan of attacking Luokou with General Yang."
Everyone was stunned.
You must know that Shan Xiongxin still has nearly 60,000 troops stationed beside Mang Mountain in the north of Yanshi. No matter how ineffective these new troops are, how can he rush to attack Luokou without worries?
However, no one is not convinced by Kou Zhong's clever plan. He must be confident to say this. Kou Zhong picked up the moon in the well that was put aside and looked in the direction of Luokou and said calmly: Li Mi will never be willing to just run away to Luokou.
Those who go must try to join up with Shan Xiongxin's troops in the hope of turning defeat into victory. So as long as we can prevent them from joining forces and make Shan Xiongxin dare not act rashly, Bing Yuanzhen, who is guarding Luokou, will have no choice but to surrender and Wang Bodang will be unable to save Jin Yong.
Taking advantage of a victory and pursuing it is the way to expand the results of the battle. Do you think this is true?
Zhai Jiaoshang felt sincerely that Kou Zhong's words were heard and said happily: "Zhong, you are indeed a rare general in the world. Back then, if my father met not the traitor Li Mi, but you, the world belongs to our Wagang Army!"
