"General, last night in Heishui County, three generals attacked the Xiliang military camp. At this time, the two sides were fighting fiercely!" The scout took out a letter: "This is General Ma Zhenyu's request to hand over his humble post to you, General!"
The third elder opened the envelope, quickly read the words on it, and said to the soldiers on the left and right: "Send my order to attack the Xiliang army!"
The people in Heishui County are confident of defeating Li Xiang, and his task is to hold back the Xiliang soldiers in front of him.
When Zhongyi and others received the news from the Xiliang scouts, their first thought was to return to the army for support. Li Xiang's messenger had arrived!
"My lord has an order!" The scout conveyed Prime Minister Li's verbal order: "Order, the frontline troops launch a general attack on the enemy and eat as many enemies as they can!"
Zhongyi and others didn't know what Li Xiang meant by doing this, but they could get some information from it. The lord should have a backup plan, otherwise the lord would not let them continue fighting.
In this case, let's eat these Ma family troops in front first, and then return to Heishui County!
During the fight with the Ma family, they found out some details about the Ma family's army. The combat effectiveness of the support army in front was not the same as that of the Xiliang Eighth Army, and was even much weaker.
Only a small number of elite troops can fight with them. Liangzhou is most famous for its cavalry. It is not surprising that there are no elite troops in this land.
This gave the Xiliang army an opportunity, and the first-class generals gathered together. Since the enemy had launched an attack, it was their turn to counterattack.
At noon, the Xiliang army suddenly showed its claws and attacked the Ma family army. The third elder was originally worried that the Xiliang army would cut off its tail, so he left some troops to cut off their retreat and led the troops back to Heishui County to support them.
.
Most of the troops from both sides here are scattered in the mountains. There are not many troops at the main intersection. The main reason is that there is not much space for the two troops to fight.
So the battlefield became between mountains and forests. What kind of battles did Xiliang soldiers not fight? During training in the virtual world, they all fought in every kind of battle.
When they came to this world and followed their lord to fight everywhere, they were experienced in hundreds of battles. War in the mountains and forests was nothing to the Xiliang soldiers. There were more enemies than them, so they were not afraid.
The outcome of a war sometimes does not depend on which side has more people. Especially in this world where cultivation is possible, the quality of soldiers is also a very important point.
Xiliang soldiers happen to be an army where quality is king!
Zhongyi led the heavy infantry to approach the enemy camp. Xiliang sent important troops to various important checkpoints. The remaining light infantry, that is, long swordsmen, sword and shield soldiers and other units entered the mountains and forests. Under the leadership of scouts,
, like being killed in the enemy's army.
The existence of the frontal troops is to prevent the opponent from turning around and returning to support the rear when they hear it!
The armies of both sides began to fight...
Qin Feixiong's army ran all the way. It took him just over half a day to reach the surrounding area of Heishui County, which was more than a day's journey. At this time, he was only less than ten miles away from the battlefield.
We will rush back to the battlefield soon!
After receiving the news, he took the Flying Bear Army with one person and two riders to return to Heishui County as quickly as possible.
The battle outside Heishui County started at night and has continued until now, that is, at noon the next day, and neither side has yet decided a winner.
The Liangzhou army used black water to destroy the Xiliang formation, but at the same time they also suffered a fierce attack from the Xiliang army.
At this time, the troops on both sides were very tired. All the soldiers of the Xiliang Army who could move began to move. After the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion finished shooting their crossbows and bows, they pulled out their melee weapons to fight the enemy.
They are from the Shenji Battalion, and their close combat capability is a bit weak compared to the soldiers from Xiliang headquarters, but compared with other troops, the soldiers from the Shenji Battalion are not weak.
Five thousand soldiers from the Shenji Battalion supported the Xiliang army, but the Xiliang infantry suffered heavy losses. More than a thousand people were seriously injured by black water and died together with the enemy.
Li Xiang has always maintained his unparalleled strength, leading the less than a hundred bodyguard cavalry left to charge into the enemy army. With his unparalleled strength, he killed countless Liangzhou soldiers.
Ma Zhenyu specially prepared heavy infantry for Prime Minister Li. There are only less than a hundred people left, and they are still resisting hard and trying to stop Prime Minister Li.
The battles in the other three camps were also coming to an end. The soldiers of the Xiliang Army were attacked at night and suffered some losses at first. After the Xiliang Army reacted, the army began to gradually gain the upper hand.
Ma Zhenxing could no longer stop him. After losing more than 5,000 troops, he retreated with his army and sent a message to the other two people at the same time.
These soldiers of his are all selected from hundreds of miles away. They are the elite troops among the elite. If the army is expanded, these soldiers can serve as various officers.
He did not want to lose the soldiers in the hands of the Xiliang soldiers, and the Xiliang side had suffered a lot of losses. Even if they retreated, the other side would not be able to recruit more support personnel.
The same goes for Ma Zhenhua on the other side. He couldn't bear it. He lost even more, more than 6,000 people, and most of the remaining 4,000 people had wounds on their bodies.
Can't fight any longer!
The other two people let go of their guarded place, which made Ma Zhenyu feel aggrieved. The Xiliang side had already shown its defeat. As long as she was given one more day, she would be able to defeat Prime Minister Li.
But the other two people just refused to do it, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
"General, do you want our army to retreat too?" The deputy general followed Ma Zhenyu and kept moving with the big banner. Li Xiang was chasing them all the time. They had no choice but to keep changing their positions to avoid Li Xiang's pursuit.
.
Ma Zhenyu glanced ahead and saw that Li Xiang was still charging, as if he didn't know he was tired.
There are five hundred guards in front of him, and other troops have been dispatched by him.
"Li Xiang!" Ma Zhenyu looked at Li Xiang. If Li Xiang hadn't led his personal guards to run rampant in his army, in this battle, Li Xiang and his personal guards would have beaten three thousand of his most elite men into what he saw before him.
A look!
If these three thousand people can be placed on the battlefield at the front, the outcome of this battle has already been determined!
"Report!" A scout galloped to Ma Zhenyu's side: "General, a Xiliang cavalry is coming towards our army!"
"Xiliang Iron Cavalry? Aren't they over there at Yuanye Town?" Ma Zhenyu was a little panicked. Before they reached the camp, they received news that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was doing well, and it was later confirmed that they were at the edge of Yuanye Town.
There are tens of thousands of troops from Lingfeng County over there in Yuanye Town. Even if they encounter cavalry, they should be able to hold them off for several days!
The key is, they still know the position of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry very well, how can they let the Xiliang Iron Cavalry return to support, and I am still so fast!
"General, do you want to pay the money and withdraw the troops?" the deputy general asked from the side.
Ma Zhenyu shook his head: "Now our army's frontline troops and the Xiliang army are intertwined with each other. If we retreat at this time, we will definitely suffer heavy losses. If not, we will become one."
Big rout!”
"What should we do?"
"Come here, help me Zhenxing the horse, and take care of the two generals Zhenhua. Let them lead the troops to the main battlefield. The Xiliang cavalry is back.
Now there are only two roads in front of us. One is to run back to the mountains and forests with the army, and the second is to go to the main battlefield. The three of us will join forces to fight together. When we retreat, we can return to Heishui County.
Waiting for the reinforcements from the Third Elder!"
"Yes!" The two soldiers on the left and right immediately arranged for someone to spread the news.
Ma Zhenyu said to the deputy general: "Move the position to Heishui County!"
The battlefield was very large. When Li Xiang saw Da Yu moving again, he wanted to catch up, but the surrounding Liangzhou soldiers blocked his way.
After a night of fierce fighting, the entire battlefield could still maintain a high fighting spirit. Only Li Xiang was left with sufficient physical strength, and everyone else was very tired.
Cheng Jushu's ax was thrown somewhere, and he was holding a horizontal knife. He no longer had the strength to continue fighting with the ax.
Each of the guards is exhausted, but the lord has not stopped yet. Can they stop?
cannot!
Li Xiang looked back and saw that some of the bodyguards were in a panic. They gave up the idea of catching up and killed all the soldiers blocking their way.
With only eighty-three bodyguards left, he slowly rushed towards the central battlefield, pouring the beast blood wine into his mouth. The beast meat was dyed red with blood. The soldiers took a bite and the war horses took a bite. They needed to replenish it.
physical strength.
嘡嘡嘡!
Just as Li Xiang and his guards rushed back to the central battlefield, the sound of gongs was heard from the other side, and the soldiers from Liangzhou rushed towards the direction of the sound.
The Xiliang soldiers did not pursue them. When many of the enemies turned around, these Xiliang men had the strength to take a step forward. Instead of taking a step forward, they chose to stand where they were, breathing heavily.
They have all reached their limit. After taking a step forward, they may fall to the ground before they can swing their weapons.
The gate of Heishui County was open, and the civilians inside took out their best food to entertain the soldiers who came in from the outside.
The other three city gates were also opened, and the three armies gathered together again, but their numbers were only less than half of their original numbers.
The city's defenders should have lost about 10,000 people in this battle.
Boom!
The sound of horse hooves sounded, and Qinyi rushed back with the Flying Bear Army!
"Lord!" Qin Yi rode his horse and ran to the side of Prime Minister Li. The battle was very fierce. There were corpses everywhere on the ground. The Xiliang camp was in ruins, and the black smoke had not dispersed.
"Am I not letting you come back?" After Wushuang passed, intense fatigue and pain hit him, making Li Xiang look much weaker.
Kissed each other: "Lord, we have defeated the Lingfeng City army. Tens of thousands of people on the other side have become prisoners. Only then did my subordinates rush back with the Flying Bear Army!"
"So fast!" When Li Xiang heard Qin Yi's words, he didn't have any doubts. He said to Qin: "The enemy's sneak attack last night should have targeted four camps. You send people to the other three camps to take a look, and then
Let the soldiers of the Flying Bear Army take care of the soldiers and move the body of my Xiliang warrior to one side. The other party's body will not be dealt with yet!"
As Li Xiang spoke, he couldn't help but yawned: "I'm tired, I'll leave it to you to command and coordinate things here!"
"Lord, please go rest and think first, and my subordinates will make arrangements next!"
Li Xiang nodded, took out a clean cloak under the huge trebuchet, covered himself, and fell into a deep sleep.
Before he could sleep last night, the opponent came to kill him, and a big battle ensued. During this period, he fought with a master master more than thirty times before injuring the opponent. They continued to fight like this until the opponent retreated.
Many Xiliang soldiers, like Li Xiang, put bandages on their wounds and then lay down next to the war machines. When they encountered cavalry, they took off their cloaks and covered them with them.
Each Xiliang soldier has his own cloak. Their cloaks were soaked in blood during the battle and are now as hard as iron. The cloaks on the cavalry are warm.
The movements of the Xiliang Army outside the city could be seen clearly by the Liangzhou Army on the city wall.
Five thousand flying bear troops came back. The momentum made the generals in the city feel a lot of pressure. Even the night sneak attacks failed to defeat the opponent. Now the opponent's cavalry came back. The five thousand cavalry represented five thousand elite soldiers.
Now they have no reinforcements, the Third Elder is also in a fierce battle, and Xiliang has no intention of retreating!
"Now we still have 28,000 troops available in the city." Ma Zhenyu took a sip of strong tea to sober himself up: "Among them, there are 12,000 elite troops, and the remaining 16,000 are the garrison soldiers in the city.
"
Ma Zhenxing frowned: "The Xiliang cavalry are coming back. Judging from the number, they are very large. Have you received any news from Yuanye Town?"
Ma Zhenhua heard the words in Ma Zhenxing's words: "You mean, the Xiliang Cavalry General has returned with his entire army?"
Ma Zhenhua nodded, a little worried: "The side of Yuanye Town belongs to the plains. Once the Xiliang Cavalry charges, there is no army in Lingfeng County that can block the charge of the Xiliang Cavalry."
"Judging from the number of Xiliang cavalry just now, I'm afraid that something happened there. Either they are trapped in one place, allowing Xiliang to mobilize their troops at will, or else the Lingfeng County army has been destroyed, and the Xiliang cavalry
The main force is on its way back.
No matter what the situation is now, it is very unfavorable for us, and we need to make deeper plans!"
"What are you going to do?" Ma Zhenyu asked.
"Withdraw from Heishui County!" Ma Zhenhua said: "The wall at the east gate of Heishui County is about to fall. Once the wall falls, what we need to face is the huge number of Xiliang cavalry and the Xiliang soldiers who are fighting with us in front.
We are here to support Heishui County, not to live and die together with Heishui County!"
After Ma Zhenhua saw the Xiliang cavalry, he already had the intention to retreat. Only after fighting against the Xiliang soldiers did he realize how terrifying the Xiliang soldiers were!
If he had more soldiers, he might choose to defend the city, but now there are less than 30,000 troops left in the city, what can they do to fight Xiliang!
The other two were silent.
There were wailing sounds everywhere in the city. More than 10,000 soldiers died in the battle in Heishui County, and the number of soldiers who were injured and lost the battle was also as high as 10,000. They were lucky to be able to return to the city alive.
