Half an hour after the fierce battle between the two armies, just when Zhang Ji thought that revenge was hopeful, he didn't know that someone had been eyeing him for a long time.So while Zhang Ji was raising his arms and shouting in high spirits, Li Zhi shot an arrow through his throat and died instantly.

What surprised Li Li was that his uncle Li Jue had been ambushed in the Huben camp under his command before, and Zhang Ji was also shot by hundreds of assassins at the same time when he died, turning him into a hornet's nest.Such a superficial plot, a discerning eye can see at a glance that there is an inevitable connection between the two assassinations. The person who waited for the opportunity to assassinate Li Jue was the chief envoy of Zhang Ji, and the person who shot Zhang Ji was obviously sent by Li Jue.The intrigue among the Xiliang generals can be seen from this.

Looking coldly at Zhang Ji's dead body and the tens of thousands of soldiers who fled in fright, Li Li said softly to Li Zhi behind him: "The archery skills are very good, and then you can choose a group of good shooters from the Golden Guards , Training them into sharpshooters, I have other great uses." ""

"Promise!" Li Zhi still had an old temper, he accepted orders respectfully, and he was not self-effacing, he didn't say a word of politeness, and he cherished words like gold.

Li Li had long been accustomed to Li Zhi's way of speaking, and immediately turned his head to look at Fan Chou's troops who were fighting behind him.Seeing this, he couldn't help frowning his brows tightly, staring angrily, with a strong murderous look appearing between his brows.

The battle situation in the rear of the Chinese army is extremely unfavorable to the Wuwei army, and right now there is a big scuffle there.Due to the retreat of Fan Yong's soldiers, Fan Chou led more than 3 Xiliang infantry directly into the rear formation of the Wuwei Army. In less than a quarter of an hour, he broke through the giant shield formation on the outer periphery of the rear of the Chinese army and massacred the soldiers in the rear formation. The soldiers of the catapults and crossbow formations, and ordnance such as catapults and crossbows also suffered heavy losses.Seeing his uncle leading troops into the rear of the Wuwei Army, Fan Yong, who missed the battle opportunity, felt very anxious, and led his troops to support the rear, trying to stop the Xiliang Army under Fan Chou's command.It's a pity that he is too affectionate, and he tied his hands and feet before the battle, and he still refused to let go of the fight. On the contrary, he restrained the soldiers of the Wuwei army from using the crossbow to shoot and kill the Xiliang army in a large area.

As a result, the two armies were fighting each other in the rear formation, and the Wuwei army still had a clear advantage, but Fan Yong led his troops to blend in the middle, making the battle situation virtually a three-way melee.Fan Chou's Xiliang Army and Wuwei Army were enemies, while Fan Yong's troops were neutral, which disrupted the battle.

Perhaps it was not his original intention that Fan Yong led his troops to disrupt the situation, nor did he betray Li Lizhi.However, what he did made the generals of the Wuwei army fearful and fearful, so they did not dare to fight with all their strength.Not only that, Fan Yong was originally the leader of the right-wing army, and most of the soldiers in the rear of the Wuwei Army belonged to the right wing.Seeing that Fan Yong seemed to be ready to surrender to the enemy, the morale of the soldiers in the rear was greatly depressed, but the Xiliang army was not. They took advantage of the situation to rush and fight, causing the Wuwei army to suffer huge casualties.In less than half an hour of melee, the Wuwei Army's rear formation lost more than [-] soldiers, and countless weapons were destroyed by Fan Chou's Xiliang Army.

After the giant shield formation of the Wuwei Chinese Army was breached from the rear, the giant shield formation in front of the formation was subsequently broken by the infantry of the Chinese Army led by Li Jue.

Immediately, the 3 Chinese troops behind Li Li were in an extremely difficult situation. In front, Li Jue led more than [-] horses from the Huben Battalion, ready to wait, and behind them, there were [-] cavalry led by Fan Chou.In the Xiliang army formation five hundred steps away, although the Wuwei iron cavalry led by Xu Rong and Bocai had gained an overwhelming advantage, they did not completely defeat the tens of thousands of cavalry in the rear formation of the Xiliang army. While pursuing the victory, they could not return to the Chinese army for half an hour.

Since then, the situation of the Wuwei Army is worrying.The more than 3 giant shield soldiers on the outskirts of the Chinese army and the nearly 4 armored and heavy soldiers in the rear were faced with the siege of tens of thousands of cavalry led by Li Jue and Fan Chou. Failure.As for Li Li's central army, there are now only 3 gold guard cavalry and less than [-] left-wing infantry cavalry under Zhang Liao's troops. Together, they are less than [-] horses. There are many tigers and horses.

Roughly speaking, the number of cavalry that Li Li could mobilize at this time was exactly the same as that of the Xiliang cavalry under Li Jue's troops. The strength of the troops was the same, but the combat effectiveness was not the same.Li Li's troops were less than [-] soldiers and horses, even if all the cavalry from Zhang Liao's left wing army were gathered together, there were barely [-], and the rest were all infantry.And the iron cavalry of the Huben Battalion under Li Jue is indeed a veritable Xiliang cavalry, elite cavalry in hundreds of battles, and its combat power is still higher than that of the wolf cavalry army under Lu Bu's command.If the two armies were to fight at this time, the result would be self-evident, and the name of Wuwei Li Li's ever-victorious general would be ruined.

A decisive battle began at dawn and continued until now, with at least tens of thousands of soldiers blood-stained on the battlefield.The commanders-in-chief of the two armies have been fighting wits and courage since the beginning of the war. The Wuwei Army has been stabilizing the Xiliang Army, and even the Wuwei Army once gained a clear advantage, and victory is in sight.No one expected that such a dramatic scene would take place just when the battle was about to be decided.Fan Chou's defection was not the last straw to overwhelm the Xiliang army, but a stumbling block to overthrow the Wuwei army's chariot.

The final decisive battle was actually fought between the Chinese army led by Li Li and Li Jue's uncle and nephew. Nearly [-] Wuwei infantry cavalry fought against [-] Xiliang iron cavalry.

There is a saying in the art of war: the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the fighter will be lost if it is moved a little.

The battle situation at this moment is the best interpretation.

On the face of it.At this time, the Wuwei army still had the superiority in strength, and 17 Wuwei iron cavalry swept across the two wings of the Xiliang army and were sweeping the tail.Of the 6 soldiers and horses of the Xiliang Army, only the 11-odd Chinese army led by Li Jue and the [-] cavalry under Fan Chou's troops remained, and the total force was lost by more than half.Of course, the remaining tens of thousands of horses were not all killed in battle, but collapsed and fled.Compared with the Xiliang Army, the Wuwei Army has not seen hundreds of thousands of soldiers fleeing since the war. This is not to say that none of the Wuwei Army's soldiers have fled, but compared to the Xiliang Army, the Wuwei Army's military discipline is already very high. Well, morale is high.Therefore, the Wuwei army now occupies an absolute advantage in strength. The Wuwei iron cavalry still has nearly [-] soldiers and horses. Li Li's Chinese army is full of [-] cavalry, a total of [-] cavalry.From the comparison of the number of troops alone, the Wuwei Army undoubtedly has obvious advantages.

However, this is not the case in reality.Although the soldiers and horses on the two wings of the Xiliang Army were defeated, the remaining soldiers and horses held back the Wuwei Iron Cavalry, forcing the Wuwei Army's most combative cavalry to be unable to escape for a short time.However, Li Jue personally led the Chinese Army and Fan Chou to attack Wuwei Central Army.As a result, the Xiliang Army's two wings of soldiers and horses were completely destroyed, but the [-] cavalry of the Chinese Army and Fan Chou took the opportunity to escape and went straight to the Wuwei Central Army.

Chapter 316 Blood of the Setting Sun Blood Stains the Sky 6/6

Two instruments and three phases, this is Li Li's method of dealing with the Xiliang army.

Now that Feng Shui is turning, under the action of Fan Chou, a pawn who is resigning from the battle, Li Jue learns and uses it flexibly, adapts to the situation, and repays others with his own way.He simply and neatly abandoned his two wings, and took advantage of Zhang Ji's eagerness for revenge, and attacked first, suppressing the Wuwei Central Army to retreat and defend.When Zhang Ji's use value was exhausted, Li Jue destroyed him without hesitation, took over the Huben camp and directly attacked Li Lizhong's army.

This is the battlefield wisdom possessed by a battle-tested Xiliang general.

Although Li Jue didn't kill Li Lizhi, he never gave up lightly. He was full of tenacity and would never admit defeat until the last moment.The most important thing is that he is good at catching fleeting fighter opportunities, making full use of the situation, and killing decisively.For him, as long as there is a chance of victory, he can turn the tide of the battle and turn defeat into victory.

So what if the Wuwei army has the upper hand, as long as the Xiliang army defeats the Wuwei central army and puts the Wuwei handsome flag under their feet, then the Xiliang army will win this battle.After defeating the Wuwei Central Army, as long as Li Jue got the Wuwei Commander-in-Chief flag, he would simply withdraw his troops and return to the city without paying attention to the Wuwei cavalry.After the war, Li Li should know what to do, return the emperor and queen mother, withdraw from Wu, and hand over military power.If he is wise, he should take his family back to Wuwei County quietly without Li Jue's order, just like Dong Zhuo did when he was alive, and garrison Liangzhou for Li Jue.

The death of Zhang Ji not only dissipated the anger in Li Jue's heart, but also made him ambitious and energetic.At this moment, he seemed to see his nephew Li Li's dejected and discouraged look after his defeat. His young and handsome face no longer had the calmness and calmness of the past, let alone the heroic appearance of the past, and he no longer dared to say anything about the Li family in front of him. Divide one into two, and set up another portal.

Since ancient times, there has been no first in writing, and no second in martial arts.

There are only two states in Xiliang.There is no room for two people who give orders, even if they are uncles and nephews who are of the same lineage, they must clearly distinguish between the master and the superior.

There are differences between masters and ministers, and no matter when they are superior or inferior, they cannot be messed up.

In half an hour, in as little as half an hour, the Xiliang Army will be able to defeat the Wuwei Central Army, capture the Wuwei Commander Flag, and win the victory of this decisive battle.

Turning his head to look at the chaotic battle behind him, Li Li's heart suddenly became angry, and his cold and ruthless face suddenly turned livid.The fire of destruction is burning in the eyes.

"My lord, wait for the last general to go and behead... oh, capture Fan Chou alive, and quell the chaos in the rear!"

As a top fighter and a top-ranked powerhouse, Li Zhi's intuition is undoubtedly extremely keen.He immediately felt the real murderous aura on Li Li.After a little thought, he knew what was going on, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the rear to stabilize the situation.In fact, he already clearly felt that Li Li was extremely dissatisfied with Fan Yong's performance in the back line.It was even more murderous against Fan Chou.He originally planned to invite Ying to kill Fan Chou.But he felt wrong, after all, Fan Chou was Fan Yong's uncle, and Fan Yong was Li Li's sworn brother.Once he kills Fan Chou, although Fan Yong can't do anything about him, he will naturally think of Li Li, which will create a gap between their brothers.also.Doing so will also damage the reputation of the protagonist Li Li, and may be criticized by others.

This is why Li Zhi temporarily changed his words.Although he looks dull and taciturn, he is not actually stupid.It's just that he doesn't like intrigue and speculation.The most direct and quickest way is often used to solve the problem once and for all.His way of dealing with the world is not to regard peace as the most important thing, nor is it to be duplicity, hypocrisy, but the law of the jungle learned since childhood.This is: kill!

Li Zhi used to be a slave by Han Sui's side, but he was grateful for Han Sui's kindness in bringing him out of the mountains. No matter how Han Sui treated him, even if he was raised as a livestock, he would accept it and serve Han Sui.He spent eight years in such a life that was not as good as a pig or a dog. Han Sui forcibly ordered him to put on chains and iron shackles, and almost starved to death.Now he follows Li Li and can finally live like a human.Li Li treated him with kindness, gave him freedom, taught him the principles of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness and the art of war, and let him know that people can actually live like this.Over the past year, he has learned a lot, but his starting point for thinking about problems has also completely changed.He doesn't care about his own gains and losses, let alone fame and fortune. The beauties of the world are like floating clouds to him. He only cares about Li Li's thoughts. Li Li is the center of any problem. He would frown, even if it cost him his life.

Because of this, Li Zhi's status in the Wuwei Army is very special, a very high status, many generals in the army respect him very much, even Huan Fei, the first general of the Wuwei Army, respects him quite a bit.Because the main generals in the army all know that the lord Li Li has great trust in him, and it can even be said that he completely trusts him, and Li Xuan, Jia Xu, Li Ru and others even privately regard him as the shadow of the lord Li Li, calling him "" General Shadow".

That's right, General Shadow, because Li Zhi is not alone, but a general who commands thousands of cavalry and hundreds of personal guards.In the past six months, he has intentionally or unintentionally selected the soldiers he likes from the army, and then listed them as a group of troops, which he personally trained. As for the skills to be taught to these people, only Li Li knew.Even Jia Xu and Li Xuan only knew that there was such a team, other than that, they knew nothing.

Under the commander-in-chief, while Li Zhi bowed his head and waited, Li Li took one last look at the situation in the rear, then turned around and stopped watching the chaotic battle behind, and said in a deep voice, "You don't need to act, the military division has already arranged. Nearly ten thousand The soldiers were buried with Fan Chou, the second younger brother should be content, because he caused all this in the first place. My Wuwei army and the Xiliang army should have won the decisive battle in an upright manner. There is no need for these small tricks, but the second younger brother is afraid of Fan Chou There was an accident, and I insisted on persuading Fan Chou to join our army. There are many ways for Fan Chou to join our army, but he chose such an extreme method. Now it is self-defeating, but our army suffered such huge casualties and put our entire army in danger. If he did something wrong with good intentions, he should reflect on it, otherwise it will be useless!"

"Fan Chou is the second general's uncle after all, and the family relationship is hard to part with." Li Zhi said in a low voice.

Li Li nodded slightly and said: "You are right, family love is hard to part with! Otherwise, this battle would not have been so difficult. Looking forward and backward, for fear of a mistake, now we are in danger. My uncle is sure now Thinking that the Xiliang army has the chance to win, they are eager to try, and they are about to lead the tiger and iron cavalry to pounce on us. Li Zhi, prepare yourself. When the two armies are fighting, you don't need to stay by my side. I don't need anyone to protect you. Just go straight to the battle flag of the Xiliang Army, and be sure to capture the commander-in-chief flag of the Xiliang Army. After getting the commander-in-chief flag, you don't need to go back, just break through the Huben camp and join Xu Rong. What to do with him, order Xu Rong to lead the army back to help quickly. If Xu Rong is not found at the first time, then order Huan Fei to lead the flying bear heavy cavalry back to the army to help. His heavy cavalry is the most conspicuous. Remember, you must be quick , our Chinese army’s 3 cavalry can withstand the Xiliang iron cavalry’s attack for at most half an hour. If our army’s cavalry cannot return to help within half an hour, then our army will undoubtedly lose in this battle. From then on, the Wuwei Army It doesn't exist anymore!"

"No, the last general will take orders!" Li Zhi respectfully replied with a serious face.

Li Li nodded to Li Zhi solemnly, and then ordered sharply, "Where is Zhang Liao?"

"The final general is subject to the orders of the lord, please let me know." Zhang Liao responded.

Li Li nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Wen Yuan, it's time for the final decisive battle between the two armies. Right now our army is already at a disadvantage and the situation is worrying. I won't say much about what the outcome of this battle means. When I lead the army to charge and kill, you will lead [-] infantry to guard the battle flag of the Chinese army, raise troops for a thousand days and use them for one hour, even if the battle is the last one soldier, the commander-in-arms flag must not be thrown away!"

"Promise, I will swear to the death to keep the battle flag and live up to my lord's trust!" Zhang Liao replied resolutely.

"Well, I believe in Wenyuan! Go ahead and set up your troops as soon as possible. Only by being prepared can you be safe." Li Li said softly.

"Thank you, my lord, I will retire at the end." After Zhang Liao responded, he immediately rode his horse and went straight to the high platform of the Chinese army.

Watching Zhang Liao leave, Li Li turned his head to look at Hu Che'er, the flag bearer beside him, and said in a low voice: "Hu Che'er, Zhang Ji deserves more than his death. You have served under his command for many years, but you have never been able to use him again. What a dusty general! This battle , I entrust you with a heavy responsibility. It is not only my trust in you, but also a test of your ability. The commander-in-chief flag in your hand is related to the fate of our Wuwei army, and it must not be lost. You will follow Zhang Liao later, and you are not needed. Going into battle to kill the enemy, as long as you firmly hold the commander-in-chief flag, it will be a great achievement. If you win this battle, you will be the deputy commander of Jinyiwei. I will reward you with gold, silver, jewelry, and beauties. !"

"Hehehe! Thank you, Lord, for the reward. The Xiliang army wants to take away the handsome flag in my hand, unless they step on my dead body to get it!" Hu Che'er smiled excitedly and scratched his head, but touched the cold The iron helmet immediately said loudly with a full face.

Li Lizhi smiled slightly when he saw it, leaned over and said in a low voice: "Okay, as long as you have the courage to not be afraid of death, the Xiliang Army will be afraid to move forward, and will not be able to take away the handsome flag in your hand. As soon as our army can't resist the Xiliang army's attack, most of the soldiers in the Chinese army will be killed or injured, and the Shuai flag can't be kept, so you break the flagpole, wrap the Shuai flag on your body and run westward, and it's best to run into Meiwu in one breath. I know You have a pair of iron feet, and you can travel [-] miles a day with a weight of [-] catties. If you only run with the handsome flag, the horses will not be able to overtake you. Remember, as long as you are still alive, the handsome flag cannot be lost!"

"No!" This time, Hu Che'er nodded solemnly without saying a word.

In the entire Xiliang territory, many people knew that Wuwei Li Li was as cunning as a fox, but no one could explain exactly how cunning Li Li was.At least at this time, Hu Che'er couldn't see the cunning of the lord Li Li. He only saw Li Li's respect for him in his eyes, and he only thought of the lord's trust in him in his heart. He made up his mind to defend Shuaiqi to the death.

Chapter 317 The Time of Decisive Battle

Li Li looked at Hu Che'er holding the handsome flag generously and solemnly, nodded to Hu Che'er confidently, and gave him encouraging eyes.

Immediately, without waiting for the Xiliang army to attack, Li Li raised the golden saber in his hand, looked directly at the iron cavalry of the Huben camp with his eyes, and shouted sharply: "Golden guards obey the order, follow this general to charge and kill!"

"Roar!"

"boom"

Li Li hadn't finished speaking when the Golden Beast King's mount under his crotch roared angrily, carrying Li Li like an arrow off the string and jumped out of the battle.Amidst the roar of the beast king, more than [-] golden guard cavalry from Li Zhi and below suddenly galloped on their horses, and followed Li Li and rushed towards the Xiliang iron cavalry with leaping horses and guns.

Suddenly, the originally noisy and chaotic battlefield was filled with thunder on the ground.Since the war between the two armies, the golden guard cavalry, which has been unshakable since the start of the war, was dispatched in an instant, and the more than 8000 martial arts elite cavalry who had been recharging their energy for a long time were in an uproar at this moment.

With a drumbeat, the momentum is like a tiger, and thousands of horses are galloping into the sky.
