After Guan Yu led his army to leave this place, the confrontation between the coalition forces and the Rong tribe continued. Under the command of Nohara Huo, the Rong tribe marched in all directions and gradually narrowed the encirclement.
A small coalition force tried to break through the encirclement and sent out troops several times, but was blocked several times by the Rong tribe. The Rong tribe surrounded the 100,000-strong army with 40,000 troops, and the coalition camp was unable to move.
Seven days later, the Rong tribe launched a general offensive. Four groups were dispatched, and they violently crashed into the coalition camp.
When Li Xingzai climbed up and looked into the distance, he saw horses hooves tumbling and a crowd of people like waves. Forty thousand Rong clan were like forty thousand blood-thirsty beasts, sweeping towards the coalition camp.
Qi Jiguang and Xu Wentian stood behind him, one on the left and one on the right. Li Xingzai put his hands behind his back and said, "General Qi, is there any way to deal with this battle?"
Qi Jiguang paused and said: "The enemy's morale is at a high level, so we have to temporarily avoid their attack in order to prepare for the future."
"It makes sense." Li Xingzai nodded, and as the conversation changed, he said: "Everyone is temporarily avoiding the edge, who will block the Rong clan's scimitar?"
Qi Jiguang was stunned and silent.
"Get ready to fight." Li Xingzai shouted softly and said: "General Qi, you will be responsible for commanding this battle. This is a soldier you have trained. I believe you are not weak to Guan Yu."
Qi Jiguang held his fists in both hands and said, "I will do my best and die."
Li Xingzai put away the smile on his face and became serious.
"Bring me my armor and weapons."
One primary school student held a silver helmet and silver armor, and another primary school student held a golden gun. Li Xingzai was wearing armor and was ready to go out to kill the enemy.
"Your Majesty, it's important to take care of yourself. I will be responsible for killing the enemy," Qi Jiguang said.
"The empire has fallen to such an extent. All descendants of my Li family deserve to die in battle, so that they may have the honor to meet the ancestors of the Li family." Li Xingzai's voice became colder, and his eyes became hot: "General Qi, this battle is due to
You command, there is no prince here, anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy."
Qi Jiguang knew that it was useless to persuade him. His lord was not the kind of humble young master who sat firmly in the army and had no blood on his hands. He was actually a warrior on horseback.
He could only use his eyes to signal Xu Wentian that he must protect Li Xingzai's safety no matter what. He could lose this battle, but nothing could happen to Li Xingzai.
Li Xingzai was neatly dressed and rode his horse to the army, followed closely by Xu Wentian.
The war was about to break out. In such a situation, all the princes had to prepare their armies for war and fight to the death with the Rong tribe.
At dawn, the Rong tribe launched a general offensive. The army from the west marched straight in and rushed towards the coalition positions. The two sides collided with each other, causing immediate casualties.
Relying on the mobility advantage of the cavalry, the Rong tribe attacked and retreated quickly. Each charge caused large casualties to the coalition forces.
Li Xing was sitting in the position of the coach, commanding from the center. He discovered a helpless fact, this time the Rong clan was particularly ferocious, and it was completely different from when they were in a stalemate with Guan Yu.
Masters fight only within a small area. But if you can't limit the enemy's area and let him do what he wants, the enemy will of course be like a tiger that has escaped from the gate and cannot be stopped.
At this time, Li Xing also showed his inner bravery. He commanded from the center and ordered the soldiers to launch round after round of strong attacks. He collided face to face with the Rong tribe and fought fiercely. This alone blocked the Rong tribe's attack.
What soldiers can give is blood and life, and generals must give enough wisdom and courage.
The battle lasted from the rising sun to the setting sun, and the Rong people just stopped their offensive and stopped fighting to rest.
After the battle, both sides were counting the casualties. There were many people on the battlefield who had lost their helmets and armor and had their intestines and stomachs rotten. If you were killed with a knife on the spot, you would be considered lucky. Unlucky people would be missing your arms and legs, and your head would be chopped off.
Open, the immortal is still struggling.
In this situation, an acquaintance could only give him a knife and close his eyes.
In the big tent, Qi Jiguang reported the casualties to Li Xingzai. Although the Rong tribe's attack was blocked, the casualties were really heavy.
Facing Li Xingzai, Qi Jiguang felt a little ashamed, but Li Xingzai did not blame him. He just said: "General Qi has worked hard. Please rest early. Tomorrow's battle will be even more tragic."
Qi Jiguang left in shame. At first, Li Xingzai compared him with Guan Yu. Qi Jiguang also felt that even though there was some gap between him and Guan Yu, the gap was not too big... But when he really fought against the Rong clan, he realized that the reality was
How cruel.
The army he has trained step by step is indeed a sharp sword, but it also depends on who is holding the sword. If Guan Yu was in command today, the casualties would not be so heavy, and it is impossible to say that he could even tear a hole in the encirclement.
.
…
In fact, Guanyu did not go too far. It was only two to three hundred miles away from the coalition camp, and this area was their scope of activity.
Liangzhou's five hundred cavalrymen were active here, ambushing a small group of Rong cavalry, and robbing the opponent's grain transport team. They kept fighting to support war, and their lives turned out to be pretty good.
What they did gave the Rong people a headache. On the one hand, a single team was often no match for Liangzhou's five hundred cavalry. But if a large force was sent out to kill them, they would disappear without a trace.
Although five hundred people is not that many, it is like a nail piercing into the eyes of the Rong people.
On the other hand, news that the Rong tribe was attacking the coalition forces had reached Guan Yu's ears. On this day, several important figures in the army gathered together to discuss the current situation.
Guan Yu drew a circle on the ground with a branch and said: "The food route has been cut off, and the coalition forces must be in panic. In the current situation, the Rong people have taken the absolute initiative. It seems that the coalition forces cannot hold on for long."
Zhang Fei, who was squatting aside, nodded and asked, "What happens next?"
Liu Bei took over Guan Yu's words and continued: "The coalition forces were defeated in the first battle, and the Rong tribe seized the coalition forces' food, grass and baggage, so they could free up their hands to attack Chang'an City. Judging from the current situation, Chang'an City will not be able to hold on for long."
"Then what?" Zhang Fei asked again.
Everyone was stunned. Today Mr. Zhang had the intention of asking the question.
Seeing everyone's confusion, Zhang Fei said: "Although the Rong tribe is strong and the coalition army is weak, it is impossible for the Rong tribe to defeat the coalition forces without bloodshed. What's more, if Li Letian has a desperate heart, can the Rong tribe defeat Chang'an City?"
Chang'an is hard to say. Even if the Rong people attack Chang'an, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties. By then, what can a group of tired soldiers do?"
Everyone calmed down and thought about what Mr. Zhang said. Some people can see three steps, and some can see ten steps. There is no doubt that Mr. Zhang can see farther than everyone else at this time and place.
This war was fought back and forth, hundreds of thousands of people were thrown into the battlefield, and the outcome was nothing more than a loss-lose situation for both sides. The so-called snipe and clam compete with each other for the fisherman to gain. The key is, after this battle is over, who will be the fisherman?
As Cheng Dalei said, this battle seems to decide a lot, but in fact it can’t decide anything. It’s just a beginning.
