Cobot, a local figure that Shi Le has continuously promoted over the years, was also born as a slave, but he was brave and had a certain talent in the art of war.
After some investigation and training, Cobot also officially became the commander of the Sirius Guard under Shi Le.
As the Heavenly Wolf Guards were dispatched, Zhang Huan also led the remaining Dunhuang garrison troops to follow suit. Although Zhang Huan now only controls two Dunhuang garrison troops among the three Dunhuang garrison troops, and the Northern Xiongnu Tianlang Guards.
Wei fights.
But this does not mean that the Dunhuang garrison was weaker than the Northern Huns' Sirius Guard.
In order to stimulate the fighting spirit of the whole army, Zhang Huan directly sent his youngest son Zhang Meng to the battlefield. Zhang Meng was the son of Zhang Huan when he was the governor of Wuwei.
Although there is no detailed record of his birth year in history, in this era, he was not much older than Wang Yu, and he is only eighteen years old now.
However, Zhang Meng has a heavenly father and several powerful brothers, so he also trained Zhang Meng to be a man of both civil and military skills. Not only is he highly skilled in martial arts, but his leadership ability is also similar to that of Zhang Huan when he was young.
.
Even considering that Zhang Meng was young and had insufficient combat experience, Duan Xi also temporarily transferred his general Fang Zhong and his clan nephew Duan Xizhao to the Dunhuang garrison.
These two people had also joined Zhang Huan's Dunhuang garrison. Although they joined for gold plating, in any case, because of this joining, they also became extremely proficient in the tactics of the Dunhuang garrison.
Because of this, with the command of Zhang Meng and the assistance of Fang Zhong and others, the Tianlang Guard could not break away from the battle with the Dunhuang garrison within a short period of time.
Duan Xi's arrangement was also based on the strength of both sides. The strength of the two sides was not much different, so they could use Tian Ji's horse racing strategy. Otherwise, it would be easy to get away with it in an instant.
Although after this arrangement, the Dunhuang garrison under Zhang Huan and the Blood Spear Chiyun Army under Duan Xi suffered a greater loss, but as the founders of these two armies, Duan Xi and Zhang Huan had great confidence in them.
In their opinion, as long as these two elite troops are here, they can withstand the pressure of the grassland coalition forces and the two elite troops, and persist here for a certain period of time.
It was enough for Shi Tianze and Di Qing, two famous generals of the Bingzhou Army, to complete the strategy of mounting and dismounting, thereby creating an opportunity that could open up the current situation.
On the battlefield on Shi Tianze's right wing, he himself did not have the combat power of a God of War, but he was still supported by several god generals.
Under the leadership of these fierce generals, many grassland coalition generals died in their hands, while Shi Tianze concentrated on leading the Dunhuang garrison and charged back and forth in the right wing formation.
"General Duan, the enemy troops are out!" Xu Changling, who served as military advisor, pointed to a black shadow in the distance.
Xu Changling was a member of the Xu family in Taiyuan. The Xu family was originally just a small family, but because of the appearance of Xu Changling, the Xu family completely embraced the Wang family.
This is because Xu Changling is Wang Teng's military advisor. Although his status is not as high as Wang Yinghua's, he is only below him.
It is precisely because of Xu Changling's presence that the Xu family has been nurtured by the resources of the Wang family. In just a dozen years, it has grown from a small family to a second-rate family in Taiyuan County. Many talents in the family have joined the Bingzhou Army.
Xu Changling was now in the center of the army, and he was standing at a high place. Shi Le's left and right wings each had nearly 10,000 troops mobilized, so naturally he could vaguely detect some movement.
"Okay, this bitch Shi Le is finally forced to take the next step!" All the generals in Bingzhou said in high spirits, feeling that victory was coming.
Their arrangement for starting a war was actually extremely risky. If the front army troops could not withstand the opponent's attack, then they would be the first to send reinforcements, and it would be their Bingzhou army that would be drawn out.
Fortunately, Di Qing and Shi Tianze on the left and right wings were extremely powerful, and Xia Yu and others in the front army gritted their teeth and withstood the heavy pressure from the enemy.
It was precisely because of their persistence that they bought valuable time for the Han soldiers, allowing them to take the first step and open up a winning situation on the left and right wings, forcing the enemy to use their back-up tactics first.
At this moment, Shi Le deployed nearly 20,000 troops, which meant that the number of his central army was reduced by nearly 20,000 troops in an instant. When Duan Xi personally played the cards, Shi Le would have all the cards he could have.
Noodles, but not much.
"Military advisor, now that things have come to this, it's time for me to take action personally." Duan Xi looked at the direction of the central army of the grassland coalition in the distance, and his expression immediately brightened, and his eyes were full of strong fighting spirit.
Duan Xi chose this time to go, naturally he had his own plan. Regardless of the current left and right wings, under the command of Di Qing and Shi Tianze, they have successfully opened up the situation, and forced Shi Le to send reinforcements to support the left and right wings.
As a result, the number of cards in Shi Le's hand was greatly reduced.
But Duan Xi did not relax his vigilance. With his strength, what he had to do was not only to defeat the coalition forces of Shi Le and Yelu Abaoji, but also to defeat this force on the premise that his own casualties were not very large.
That's why Duan Xi arranged it like this to make this battle look very difficult!
Since the front was full of infantry, even with the assistance of the Blood Spear Red Cloud Army, Duan Xi was extremely worried about the situation of the front army.
Once this place cannot withstand the pressure and some problems occur, the advantages that Xi has finally designed will probably be exhausted by the grassland coalition forces.
At that time, Duan Xi can only change the way he fights. Even if he can defeat his opponent, he will injure the enemy one thousand and lose five hundred to himself. Duan Xi does not want such a victory.
It was precisely because of this that Duan Xi planned to go to war in person. He wanted to rely on his own personal force to lead an elite cavalry and charge into the central army of the grassland coalition.
"Now, the enemy's back-up force has basically been provided. I am afraid that the number of positions for the Chinese army is less than 20,000. Our army still has 8,000 elite cavalry that have not gone into battle. At this moment, it is the time to give full play to their strength.
Xu Changling looked at the grassland coalition forces and the direction of the Chinese army where Shi Le was, and then said sonorously and forcefully: "But before that, it is better to let General Zhang come back and take charge of the overall situation of our army for the general."
"This is natural!" Duan Xi nodded immediately and ordered the messenger to send an order to Zhang Huan to come back now. After handing over the task, Duan Xi immediately led eight thousand elite cavalry towards the Chinese army where Shi Le was.
"Brothers, the time has come to decide whether our army can win or not. Follow me and charge forward!" Duan Xi gave an order.
