What's more, Li Xun could even lead his central army to attack Li Xinchen's central army in one go. In this way, without Li Xinchen's orders, the left and right wings would definitely slow down and be ready to support the central army at any time. It is not clear whether a breakthrough can be achieved in this way.
Even if they broke through, Chen Zhishen and Dai Cai would not dare to rush forward.
It's a pity that Li Xun didn't make so many choices. He just demolished the east wall to repair the west wall. In the end, a large number of reinforcements were wasted on the right wing, while the left wing was easily torn apart, and the entire front naturally collapsed.
Of course, this is not unrelated to the suspicious soldiers that Li Xunchen prepared before. For Li Xun, if Li Xunchen wants to defeat him, he must still use his various unexpected tactics, so when Li Xunchen deployed a dignified formation to confront Li Xun
When facing the enemy, it was enough to make Li Xun uneasy. Coupled with the suspicious soldiers and feint attacks in Shanbei and Shannan, Li Xun was even more uncertain about what Li Xunchen wanted to do.
The natural result is that when the battle really begins, Li Xun has no idea when another enemy force will appear, so all he can do is to be cautious. The more cautious he is, the more likely he will be.
Leaving Li Xun to direct the battle was tied up and the position was messed up, which ultimately led to this situation.
Little did they know that the purpose of Li Xun's deployment of suspicious troops and feint attacks was to make Li Xun think this way, and his perfectly normal attack was Li Xun's most unexpected tactic in the entire battle.
"Sudden surprise" is a "surprise attack". For Li Xingchen, who is good at winning by surprise, this majestic formation and the formation of regular soldiers are also his surprise attack tactics.
"The general's pursuit was unlucky. I let that bastard Li Xun run away. Please forgive me, general." Chen Zhishen strode over, a little aggrieved. This guy Li Xun was supervising the battle here, so why did he turn around and run away?
And Li Xunchen couldn't help but laugh: "If Li Xun was caught by you so easily, why would he have to put so much thought into this battle? This person has the most meticulous mind. Once he discovers that something is wrong, he will definitely turn around and leave.
, Otherwise, if he is really caught alive by us, how can he have the dignity to go back to see Wei Xiaokuan?"
Chen Zhishen nodded, and Dai Cai also came over at this time: "The general's attack is at a disadvantage. If we can go faster, we might be able to block the enemy's retreat."
Li Xingchen's eyes swept over Chen Zhishen and Dai Cai, and he waved his hand: "Okay, I am very satisfied that this battle can be fought like this. You two don't have to come here to get an advantage and behave well. If Li
If I know you are like this, I'm afraid I'll be pissed to death."
After a pause, Li Xingchen smiled and said: "If it were slower, it wouldn't be your style, Chen Zhishen. If it were faster, it wouldn't be your style, Dai Cai."
Dai Cai and Chen Zhishen looked at each other and smiled.
Being able to grasp the characteristics of each person and let them play different roles may be what makes Li Xingchen truly stronger than them.
There are many people who are good at generals, but there are few who are good at generals. Obviously, the Li Xinchen in front of him is both the former and the latter.
Dai Cai then said: "Li Xun will probably not leave the stronghold easily after being beaten like this by us. But fortunately, he lost half of his troops in today's battle. Even if we attack by force, we still have a chance."
Li Xunchen said calmly: "There is no need to rush the attack. Let's wait for news from the south first. The mountains on the south side are high, and we can look down from a high position to see what Li Xun has prepared in the stronghold. Anyway, after this battle, I am afraid we are not the ones who are anxious...
····”
Suddenly the generals laughed again.
This battle was fought beautifully, and it also gave them a new understanding of Li Xingchen's command. More importantly, Dingjun Mountain seemed to be no longer so tall and dangerous at this moment. The real worry was probably the worry after the defeat.
Li Xun looked miserable.
——————————————
Luo Yi looked at the mist-shrouded mountain peaks with a solemn expression.
He is a partial general under Li Xun. Many people refer to him and Li Xun's younger brother Li Tan as Li Xun's right-hand man. Some even compare them privately to Xiao Shilian and Li Xunchen's subordinates.
Pei Zilie and two others.
Luo Yi, who is only in his mid-twenties this year, can have such achievements and status, which is enough to make people jealous. After all, Luo Yi is not from a famous family. His father is just a small lieutenant general, and even a miscellaneous general.
It doesn’t count, it’s considered “a general’s background”.
However, considering that Luo Yi followed Li Xun to fight when he was more than ten years old, he has made a lot of contributions, so he is indeed capable of reaching this position.
In fact, many people don't know that the conflict between Luo Yi and Li Xun has become more and more serious recently. To be honest, Luo Yi also feels that Dingjun Mountain is a place that must be defended, but Li Xun should not put his main force
Everything is concentrated here, and more importantly, he should not throw the entire defense line on the north side of Mianshui directly to Niu Hong.
Facts have proved that Niu Hong is indeed unreliable. Niu Hong's betrayal directly led to Li Tan's death in battle because he was isolated and helpless. It also caused the entire defense line on the north side of Mianshui to collapse, and Hanzhong changed hands.
Of course, since these have already happened, Luo Yi will not repeat them in front of Li Xun, but many people who have the same ideas as him begin to interact with Luo Yi. Later, when they came to Dingjun Mountain, Luo Yi always advocated
They should not be able to get out, but Li Xun believed that the camp alone was of little use, so he should go down the mountain and fight to test the reality.
As a result, as soon as Luo Yi put forward this point of view, many people stood up to agree with him, which made Li Xun unable to step down for a while. Luo Yi, who had never thought that this would happen, had no choice but to invite himself to the south side.
Guarding the camp on the mountain peak, at least here you don't have to make it difficult for everyone because of conflicts with Li Xun's decision-making.
Soon after, Luo Yi received the news of Li Xun's defeat, and he could only sigh deeply. To be honest, he didn't think Li Xun had any chance of winning in the duel with Li Xunchen.
In any case, Luo Yi is very clear about Li Xun's commanding ability. He also knows the quality of these soldiers and horses. It may not be realistic for both sides to be evenly matched, but it stands to reason that Li Xun will not fail so miserably that even
I don’t know how much price Li Xingchen paid, but from the fact that Li Xingchen directly surrounded the entire Dingjun Mountain, we know that the casualties on Li Xingchen’s side were definitely not many.
And now there is a problem that worries Luo Yi even more. The enemies that appeared in the south mountain before have disappeared after strangling three scout teams.
However, Luo Yi relied on his intuition to believe that things were definitely not that simple. Once in the mountains, these Ba people were as flexible as monkeys, and it was not easy to catch them.
