Hua Ling looked sideways at Li Yuanchao, with an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Li Yuanchao glanced at Hua Ling and said seriously: "General Hua, don't look at me like that. I know you are thinking in your heart that Li Yuanchao is really just a grassroots, and he will fall no matter how the wind blows. But General Hua is wrong. In fact, I am not
A traitor!"
He gritted his teeth and said without a doubt: "I am not a treacherous minister. When I followed Marshal Xiao, I never did anything sorry for him. As a soldier under Marshal Xiao, Li will do his best to serve him."
Serve the commander-in-chief. Similarly, now that I have chosen to submit to the prince, from today onwards Li will serve the prince with all his heart. As long as I am still the prince's subject, I will not do anything to disgrace the prince."
He cleared his throat: "So, I am sincerely planning for the prince. Please, General Hua, don't doubt my loyalty, um...loyalty."
Hua Ling tried hard to organize his thoughts, and suddenly realized that he had underestimated Li Yuanchao.
"Since General Li thinks so, it's naturally too late for Hua to be happy."
Although he said that, he kept thinking about how true what Li Yuanchao said just now was. Analyzing Li Yuanchao's words, he wanted to express this meaning. Well, it means that he is not a traitor, but a traitor.
A loyal minister, although he will rebel, he was still loyal to his lord before the rebellion. However, as soon as he makes up his mind to rebel, his loyalty will immediately shift and he will be loyal to the core.
What theory is this?
Hua Ling smiled bitterly in her heart and could only admire that the world is full of wonders. The same rice can support all kinds of people. The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. The crows in the world are not necessarily all black...
"General Hua must not call me a general of low rank. Your Majesty has given me the official position of a sixth-grade bold captain. General Hua calls me general. I am ashamed of my humble rank."
Li Yuanchao entered the role very quickly, so quickly that no one except himself could accept it.
"Uh... Lieutenant Li, please tell me carefully what you plan to do."
Li Yuanchao cupped his fists and said: "General, look, Zuo Zhenwei is putting a lot of pressure on the left wing of the Black Flag Army. Did General Hua see it? The only Black Flag Army soldier in uniform has already supported the left wing."
Went, that team is the most elite inner camp soldiers under Xiao Pojun, and is the most powerful force among the Black Flag Army. But look, general, even though the inner camp soldiers have pressed forward, Zuo Zhenwei's offensive is still fierce
Like the tiger, the left wing of the Black Flag Army cannot hold on for long, and Xiao Pojun will definitely divide his troops from the Chinese Army to support us."
He pointed down the hillside and said: "Although we only have 1,200 cavalry, the combat effectiveness of our Han army is far higher than that of the Black Flag Army, and is only stronger than the men and horses of Zuo Zhenwei of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although there are few people,
If we directly attack Zuo Zhenwei from the flank, and the Black Flag Army takes advantage of the situation to counterattack, it will be a draw even if we cannot win."
Hua Ling looked at Li Yuanchao with squinted eyes, as if she wanted to see through Li Yuanchao's true thoughts in his heart.
"General Hua, don't look at me like this. I suggest this not to save Xiao Pojun, but to gain Xiao Pojun's trust. Although our soldiers are brave and good at fighting, they are too few in number. Even if we break through the left wing of the Black Flag Army, it will be difficult to break through again."
The Chinese army, Xiao Pojun is among tens of thousands of troops, it will be difficult to complete the beheading operation assigned by the prince."
He used the word "we" twice in a row, but Hua Ling still couldn't adapt.
"And if we save the left wing of the Black Flag Army and then attack the central army directly, the Black Flag Army will think that we are going to the central army to help the battle. In this way, we can easily attack the central army of the Black Flag Army. Then... hehe!"
Li Yuanchao made a gesture of wiping his neck, which was very simple.
"good!"
Hua Ling nodded happily.
"I'll leave two hundred men here to form a formation for you. You can lead a thousand men to rescue the left wing of the Black Flag Army, and then find an opportunity to kill Xiao Pojun!"
"Well……"
Li Yuanchao was stunned for a moment, pointed at his nose and asked: "General Hua is saying that I will lead the troops to kill him myself?"
Hua Ling nodded and said: "I trust you! What, you don't dare? Then you set up a formation for me here, and I, the general, will personally lead the army to kill that Xiao Pojun!"
Li Yuanchao smiled bitterly and said: "Thank you for your trust, General, for your humble position... I will definitely fulfill your mission!"
"Go ahead, I am here to wave the flag and cheer for Lieutenant Li!"
Li Yuanchao was bitter, very bitter.
He cupped his fists and rushed down the hillside first. Hua Ling told one of his soldiers: "Keep an eye on him and kill him if there is any change. Our mission is just to disrupt the battle situation between the two sides. Xiao Pojun will die." It doesn’t matter if you don’t die! But if Li Yuanchao has any different intentions, he will be killed without mercy! If he really gets close to the Black Flag Army, act as planned!"
The leader of the soldiers responded, urged his horse and rushed out.
At this time, on the plain below the hillside, the Black Flag Army and Zuo Zhenwei's troops combined totaled hundreds of thousands of troops and were fighting fiercely. The scene was magnificent, filled with murderous intent, and smoke and dust rose into the sky. The Black Flag Army had 10,000 more troops than Zuo Zhenwei. There are many people, but their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of Zuo Zhenwei. The commanders of Zuo Zhenwei have various formations and tactics at their fingertips. The well-trained Zuo Zhenwei soldiers can complete the commander's arrangements in the shortest time. And Black Flag The army and each battalion are almost fighting on their own. The generals are all from poor backgrounds and have never learned the art of war and formations. Fighting relies entirely on a kind of bloody spirit. Once this kind of bloody spirit is suppressed by the enemy's powerful offensive, If they live there, they will immediately become helpless.
The Black Flag Army has 15,000 men on the left wing, while Zuo Zhenwei, who is struggling to attack, only invests less than 8,000 troops. But even so, having the manpower advantage and being the defensive side, the Black Flag Army still gains ground step by step Retreat. The supervisory team continued to kill people from behind, but the entire left wing of the army was retreating. No matter how many people the supervisory team killed, they could not stop the retreat.
Zuo Zhenwei's infantry is divided into regiments, with each regiment having 300 people. Under the command of the regiment captain, the infantry rotates like wheels. The regiments work together, and once the formation is started, it will run like a precision instrument. No matter how the disorganized Black Flag Army soldiers defended, they could not stop the advance of Zuo Zhenwei's army.
Three hundred people form a formation, and every five people form a miniature formation. Ten regiments form a sharp attack formation, like a killing machine at full power.
Zuo Zhenwei came from far away. The reason why Zheng Chao did not take a break before looking for an opportunity to fight the Black Flag Army was because of his strong self-confidence and Zuo Zhenwei's strong combat effectiveness. What he wanted was this thunderous method of plowing the court and sweeping holes. It was a scene like this. The officers and soldiers had never lost against the green forest soldiers. To defeat the green forest soldiers with a small number and to defeat many green forest soldiers was a matter of course for the officers and soldiers and was not something to be particularly proud of.
The Twelve Guards of the Great Zhou Dynasty were famous for their military prowess and devoted all their efforts to the formation of the Twelve Guards of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even in the whole world, they are famous and rarely rivaled. Even the Liao Palace Army, which is known as the most powerful army in the world, has been fighting against the Twelve Guards of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the past few years.
The soldiers did not gain any advantage in the battle. Liyao Nayan, a rising star in the Liao army who rose like a comet, also ended in failure when he fought against the left-leading army guard of the Zhou Dynasty near Bazhou.
Seeing that the left wing was being beaten and retreating steadily, if it was suppressed by the enemy again, it would soon attack the center of the Black Flag Army. Once it formed a backlash, even the gods could not save it.
Although Xiao Pojun has not read any art of war, he also knows that the current situation is extremely dangerous. He did not expect Zuo Zhenwei to arrive so quickly, and Li Yuanchao to be defeated so quickly. Jiangzhou City was about to be breached, Zuo Zhenwei's
The army finally arrived.
Abruptly, the two sides engaged in a decisive battle without any fancy. If either side lost, the result would be doomed. Zuo Zhenwei risked exhaustion and was unable to fight for a long time, while the Black Flag Army faced defeat.
The pressure of death.
"Send another five thousand people to rescue the left wing!"
Xiao Pojun ordered with red eyes.
"Commander, today's battle has become extremely difficult to win. Please make a decision as soon as possible, Commander!"
Mi Yuan and Song Huairen reached a rare agreement and jointly advised Xiao to break the military path.
Xiao Pojun shook his head stubbornly and said: "Zuo Zhenwei's army continued to march forward and had another fierce battle with Li Yuanchao at Qingfeng Mountain. Although it seemed brave and formidable at this time, it was already at the end of its power! As long as Zuo Zhen persisted for half an hour, Zuo Zhen would
When the guards' troops are exhausted, it's time for our Black Flag Army to defeat them in one fell swoop!"
When he thought of Qingfeng Mountain and when he mentioned the name Li Yuanchao, Xiao Pojun was so angry that his teeth hurt. If he could hold it back, his balls would hurt.
"Commander! Zuo Zhenwei only uses three men and horses to attack now. Our soldiers' morale, equipment, and combat power are far inferior to the opponent's. Please order the commander to retreat temporarily, set up camp for defense, and wait for the morale of the army to stabilize before the decisive battle.
!”
Song Huairen remonstrated stubbornly.
Mi Yuan also said: "Commander, as Shanchang said, now is not the time for a decisive battle. The time and place are favorable. Neither Zuo Zhenwei nor I have an advantage. But when it comes to people and people, we are not as good as each other."
Xiao Pojun felt even more angry when he heard what he said! The defeated soldiers who had escaped from Dashang River a few days ago began to spread rumors that Cheng Jie had surrendered to the Han army. Some people said that Cheng Jie had actually died in the battle long ago.
In the first battle of Dashang River, two thousand Han troops killed ten times the number of Black Flag troops. The combat effectiveness of the Han army was getting stronger and stronger in the rumors. Now, the original loss of Qingfeng Mountain had already made Black Banners lose their armor.
The soldiers of the Banner Army were dejected, and now they were even more restless. No one had the intention to continue the fight. They were all afraid that Zuo Zhenwei and the Han army would make dumplings one after another. In that case, there would really be only a dead end.
.
"You also believe that Cheng Shoushan (Cheng Jie's courtesy name Shoushan) surrendered to the Han people?!"
He asked Mi Yuan with wide eyes.
Mi Yuan was startled by his eyes, and quickly leaned over and said, "My subordinates don't believe it! It's just that...the soldiers do!"
"So what! I will defeat Zuo Zhenwei outside Jiangzhou City today! Only in this way can the lost military morale and lost morale be restored, and the Black Flag Army can truly gain a foothold! It only takes half an hour to hold on,
I, the commander, will draw out a force of troops and attack the central army of Zuo Zhenwei from the flank. We should have a great victory!"
As if to verify Xiao Pojun's words, suddenly the men and horses of Zuo Zhenwei in the distance were in chaos. Xiao Pojun hurriedly looked and saw a cavalry falling from the sky, menacing and unstoppable! (To be continued)
