This is also the fundamental reason why Li Li has to fight in person in every life-and-death battle.Because he will not leave the fate of himself and his wife and children in the hands of others. This does not mean that he does not trust the generals under his command, but a kind of obsession: Tian Xingjian, a gentleman should strive for self-improvement; always insist on his own destiny You must be in your own hands, and do your best to control the changes in the battle situation of each battle.Only in this way can he remain invincible.Only then can we go on steadily step by step.

The battle of Dongshan Pass in the past was an important battle for Li Lian's life.It is a servant, he takes the lead.He led the Wuwei army to defeat the strong with the weak, and defeated the Han Sui and Ma Teng allied forces that were several times larger than him. After the war, he successfully took root in Liangzhou and occupied a pivotal hegemony in Liangzhou.And in that battle.He was shot down by hundreds of archers.Then he ran for his life among tens of thousands of horses and almost died in battle.

The Battle of the Southern Suburbs was a battle for Li Li to truly become a vassal.During the war, he also personally took charge of the central army, and when the critical moment came, he personally led the army to charge and kill them. The bloody battle lasted all night and finally secured the victory.In one fell swoop, he won control of the Xiliang Army.Subsequently, the Xiliang Army was integrated.He officially stepped onto the stage of feudal hegemony, and became the most powerful overlord of Xiliang among the feudal lords in the world.

The battle of Loudiyuan was a key battle for Li Li to advance into the Central Plains, compete with the princes, and then compete in the world.It is no exaggeration to say that the victory or defeat of this battle not only determines the ownership of the overlord of the Central Plains, but also directly relates to the direction of the Han Dynasty.

In the face of such an important battle, if Li Li could sit in the rear peacefully and wait and see the success or failure of the battle, then his heart is really not ordinary!It can be said that he is heartless, and it is pure luck to be able to get to where he is today, because he doesn't even know how he died in the end.

The Loudiyuan decisive battle did not exist in isolation, it was the last battle of the entire Sili War.For this decisive battle, Yuan Shao of Jizhou emptied the money and food accumulated in Jizhou for many years, and gave up everything at all costs; Cao Cao of Yanzhou still led an army of [-] desperately to join the war when Yanzhou was basically fallen; Regardless, almost all the elite infantry under his command were mobilized to fight.And Jiangdong Sun Ce even mortgaged to Yuan Shu the Jade Seal of the Kingdom that his father Sun Jian had exchanged for his life, thus borrowing [-] soldiers to join the alliance to join the war; Ma and a large number of food and grass joined the alliance, and the remaining small princes also tried their best to join the war.

Looking at the actions of the princes from all walks of life, why did they do this, and what did they intend to do?

Don't mention any more nonsense about eliminating traitors, the side of the Qing emperor, and the great man of Zhongxing. These words are okay to fool ordinary people, but they can't be fooled by the eyes of people with lofty ideals in the world.Everyone knows that the winner of this battle of Sili will become the overlord of the Central Plains, and then the most powerful prince in the Han Dynasty, and is very likely to aspire to the top of the country.Therefore, none of the princes who joined the alliance wanted to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, let alone lose the qualification to compete in the world, so they almost all tried their best to seek the greatest benefits for themselves.

Like the princes from all walks of life, Li Li also mobilized the most elite cavalry and infantry of the Xiliang Army for this battle of Sili, and collected almost all the food, grass and ordnance that could be raised. .To put it bluntly, in this decisive battle in Loudiyuan, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Lu Bu and other princes invested too much and too much, and they couldn't afford to lose; and Li Li couldn't afford to lose either, because he couldn't afford to lose either.

No matter which side is defeated between the two sides, the result will directly crush the princes of the defeated side.For the princes and allies, if they lose this battle, they will be completely out of control of the Central Plains hegemony. It is a blessing in misfortune to be able to keep their current territory, and they will no longer be able to conquer the Central Plains states.In contrast, if Xiliang Li Li was defeated, the most elite cavalry of the Xiliang army would suffer heavy losses, which would directly cause the strength and combat power of the entire Xiliang army to drop by about half.After the war, all counties in Sili will be lost, and it is a blessing to be able to keep the existing three states. Within five years, the Xiliang Army will not be able to command the Central Plains.After five years, the Xiliang Army will completely lose the qualification to compete in the world, and then become a weak force wiped out by other princes, and the fate of its commander Li Li and his wives, children, and children will also follow the demise of the Xiliang Army. Annihilated, becoming a wisp of fly ash in the dust of history.

There is a hint of whiteness on the horizon, the stars recede, and the darkness and the light are engaged in the final resistance.

Amidst the sound of "swish", a gust of cold wind wrapped in the morning mist quietly floated to the front of the formation, and the flags were fluttering and hunting.

The wind in early spring is as cold as a knife, but the battle under the banner is full of blood and fierce battles.

More than [-] Montenegro infantry, led by generals Wang Dang and Sun Qing, are attacking Yuan Jun around the flagpole.

The blood-soaked war knives waved like the wind, and the bright red blood on the blades splashed in the air, falling on the cheeks of the two armies who were fighting bravely, but they turned a blind eye to them.As long as the blood didn't cover their eyes, they didn't care about it, just slashed vigorously; if it splashed on the eyes, they just wiped it with their hands, but in the end, they wiped the bloody blood stains on their hands all over their faces, and it looked like they were all over their eyes. Ferocious, like a vicious ghost crawling out of hell, it is truly frightening.

In the fierce fighting, although the Black Mountain Army had an absolute superiority in strength, they fought very hard against the more than [-] desperate Yuan Jun soldiers, and the fighting was extremely brutal.The attack has already taken two cups of tea. The soldiers of the two armies fought bravely and tenaciously. Often, one side would not fall down immediately after being hit by the knife. .

In addition, due to the narrow space around the handsome flag, the Black Mountain Army, which has a superior force, could not gain the upper hand, but was evenly matched with Yuan Jun.Therefore, the bloody fight has continued until now.The two sides still maintain the original situation, hedging and slashing, fighting hard, blood for blood and tooth for tooth.The battle situation remained deadlocked.

Fifty steps away from the battlefield, in front of the Xiliang cavalry formation, Li Li watched the battle in front of him solemnly, his eyes filled with strong and cold killing intent.At this moment, with his left hand holding the ready-to-movement Golden Beast King, and his right hand clenched the saber, he seemed ready to lead the cavalry to kill the general at any time.

Seeing the stalemate in the battle, Li Li frowned slightly.He raised his hand to summon Li Zhi, and said softly without moving his body: "Order our cavalry to release arrows under the flagpole and scatter them by themselves. Shoot Yuan Jun without discrimination."

"No, I will send the order down immediately." Li Zhi respectfully agreed, and then he was about to ride his horse and leave.

"Wait a minute!" After calling out to Li Zhi, Li Li raised his finger and pointed at the handsome Yuan Shao's flag that was turbulent in the wind.Said in a deep voice: "Zicheng is in the army with Han Sheng who pierces Yang with a hundred steps. His archery skills are as famous and he is called the 'No. [-] marksman' by the soldiers. Have you seen Yuan Shao's commander-in-chief flag? This is the time for you to show your skills This is a good opportunity to burn it with rockets. As long as Yuan Jun’s commander’s flag is burned, immediately unfurl my commander’s flag, and then beat the drums to order our soldiers to launch a strong attack. We must defeat the allied princes on the main battlefield at dawn!”

After Li Zhi heard the words, he didn't answer immediately.Instead, he stared intently at the buzzing Yuan Junshuai flag, and measured the distance with his eyes.Keep an eye on the direction of the cold wind.

Indeed, this place is not close to Shuai Qi, a full 130 steps. Ordinary arrows can't reach such a long range. Even a general with superb archery skills can't hit Yuan Jun Shuai Qi with a four-stone strong bow.There is only one crossbow battalion in the Xiliang Army that has this ability, but there is no guarantee that it will be able to hit the commander's flag. This is the "Pre-Qin Strong Bow Team".It's a pity that this team of archers is still fighting together on the main battlefield, and it is impossible to appear here, so Li Zhi is the only archer who has the skill of piercing Yang with a hundred steps at this moment.

After sizing it up for a while, Li Zhi nodded and said, "My lord, wait for a while, and after the last general sends an order, shoot down the enemy commander's flag."

"Are you sure? If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. I'll charge up later, and it won't be too late to burn it at that time." Li Li whispered with a slightly hesitant tone.

"Yes. Even if it is twenty steps further away, the last general can burn it with one arrow." Li Zhi affirmed.

Li Li nodded slightly, and waved his hand to signal Li Zhi to prepare himself: "Since that's the case, let's do it this way. Order the commander to hang up the commander's flag, and when the enemy's commander's flag falls, we will erect our commander's flag."

After Li Zhi responded and left, just as Li Li turned his head and turned his gaze to the battlefield in front of the battle again, his figure suddenly flickered, and the golden beast roared inexplicably, appearing restless.

"Boom, kill, kill, kill!"

The moment he regained his stature, Li Liton felt the ground tremble under his feet, and then he heard a huge roar of rushing and shouting from behind him.

In an instant, Li Li was overjoyed, and he didn't need to look back to know that it was the sound of his Xiliang iron cavalry breaking through the Allied defense line and defeating the troops of Lu Bu, Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others head-on.But this joy didn't stay in his heart for long, and was immediately replaced by a lingering worry.Immediately, with a solemn expression, his face was gloomy, his brows were tightly furrowed, and he raised his eyes to look at the flag of Marshal Yuan fluttering in the wind a hundred paces away.

It is true that the Xiliang war cavalry defeated the allied forces on the frontal main battlefield, which was undoubtedly good news for Li Li.Because this means that the Xiliang Army has established a victory. The victory of this decisive battle belongs to him, Li Li, and he must be the future overlord of the Central Plains.However, while being pleasantly surprised, Li Li suddenly realized that he was in the rear of the allied army, with only ten thousand cavalry around him, and the retreating allied soldiers would inevitably retreat to the rear.In this way, wouldn't he be surrounded by more than [-] allied troops in the rear formation, and Tian Feng and other [-] yuan troops trapped by the Black Mountain Army would be able to escape from death?

At this moment, Li Li was not worried that he would be besieged by more than 10,000 allied troops, because there were more than [-] war cavalry under his command behind the [-]+ allied troops.Therefore, although the Allies have many troops, they still can't help Li Li.And what worries him deeply is precisely the upcoming arrival of more than a hundred thousand Xiliang war cavalry.Because until now, Yuan Shao's long-planned plan has never been revealed, and this poses a huge threat to Xiliang war cavalry.

You know, these more than [-] cavalry are the cavalry that he worked hard to manage Xiliang for three years, and he finally formed it, accounting for more than [-]% of the combat effectiveness of the entire Xiliang army.Once the war cavalry is lost, it is equivalent to costing half of Li Li's life, so that the current situation of strong soldiers and horses will be ruined, and even the dominance that the Xiliang Army once had will collapse. The rivers and rivers went downhill and fell thousands of miles.

As for why there was such a premonition, Li Li himself couldn't explain it clearly. It was purely an instinctive intuition about the approaching danger.Moreover, this intuition is no longer a day or two, and it has been entrenched in his heart for the past half month, lingering and lingering.At this moment, this premonition of uneasiness became more and more obvious, and a strong sense of crisis filled his heart, making him feel like a thorn in his throat and a thorn in his back, restless and restless.

The sound of "da da" horseshoes came from far away, but it was hundreds of thousands of retreating allied forces that approached Li Li and his party before the Xiliang war cavalry.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

At the same time that more than [-] Allied soldiers rushed to the rear in a hurry on the main battlefield, more than [-] Feiyan Qingqi and Jinyiwei cavalry drew their bows and charged directly at Yuan Jun who was stubbornly resisting under the commander's banner.Among the dense rain of sharp arrows, a ignited rocket wrapped in kerosene pierced the night sky, and it came first, surpassing all the arrows at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to hit, flying in the wind with precision. Yuan Junshuai flag.

In an instant, the dark yellow handsome flag, which was more than ten feet long and wide, burst into flames, and the red flames whizzed in the wind, which was really conspicuous.

"Ah ah?"

Just when Yuan Jun was in an uproar under the commander's banner, Li Liyue rode out of the battle, and the golden saber pointed directly at the burning Yuan Jun commander's flag, and shouted violently: "Hold the flag! All the soldiers follow me to the battle, kill!"

The moment the voice fell, Li Li drove the golden beast and rushed out, taking the lead in rushing to the battlefield ahead.Li Zhi, who followed closely behind, erected the flag of Xiliang Army Commander himself, and then rode his horse galloping, carrying the flag and charging into battle.Behind him, Zhang Yan went into battle with injuries, and together with Chen Dao led more than [-] cavalry and galloped wildly, rushing fiercely into the battlefield in front of the battle like a tide.

In an instant, under the charge of Li Li's cavalry, it was like a boulder being smashed into a pool of stagnant water, causing an uproar and causing an instant reversal of the stalemate.In the blink of an eye, a gap was forcibly torn open in Yuan Jun's defensive line headed by Li Li, and then the gap continued to expand, then extended, and then completely collapsed.Immediately, the Xiliang war cavalry was as powerful as a bamboo, and went straight to kill the general directly under Tian Feng's handsome flag.

At that moment, most of the flaming Yuan Junshuai flag was burned, and it was about to be burned up.

However, at this moment, an extremely strange scene happened.I saw Tian Feng, who was wearing a Confucian robe, brazenly ordered his soldiers to pull out the handsome flag, and then under the cover of Gao Lan and Gao Gan, Tian Feng got off his horse and, together with thousands of Yuan soldiers, carried the burning handsome flag. Queen Qicang withdrew.What is extremely strange is that these Yuan Jun who fled in a hurry, including generals such as Gao Lan and Gao Gan, all abandoned their horses and fled on foot. Even the weapons in his hands were thrown away.

This is the real throwing away armor and armor, and fleeing in a big defeat. The scene is very spectacular.So much so that the morale of the Black Mountain Army and Feiyan Qingqi who saw this scene became more and more high, and they rushed forward one by one screaming, wishing to put on their wings and catch up immediately to kill the Quartet.

This scene, perhaps in the eyes of the Black Mountain Army and Jin Yiwei, was nothing special, but in Li Li's eyes, it was extremely strange, full of indescribable conspiracy atmosphere, and a very obvious tendency to lure the enemy.For a person like him who has memories of later generations, although he has never encountered such a scene in person, he has seen countless similar scenes.After all, thousands of years of historical inheritance will definitely not be given to future generations in vain. If you haven’t eaten pork head meat, can you still see pigs running away?

Therefore, at this moment, Li Li, who was galloping and chasing after him, suddenly lifted the reins and stopped, and without thinking about it, he shouted sharply: "Where is Li Zhi, carry the flag and retreat, hurry up!"

However, just when Li Zhi was stunned and at a loss when he heard the sound, there was a sudden loud bang, and it was too late.

"boom boom"

The roar of the mountain roar and the tsunami swept across Loudiyuan in an instant, causing the entire battlefield to shake, as if the sky was falling and the earth was falling, and the end was coming.

At this moment, Li Li, who was galloping and chasing after him, suddenly reined in his horse, and without thinking, he shouted sharply: "Where is Li Zhi, wave the flag and retreat, hurry up!"

However, just when Li Zhi was stunned and at a loss when he heard the sound, it was too late with a sudden loud bang.

"Boom boom boom!"

At this moment, the roar of mountains and tsunami swept across Loudiyuan, causing the entire battlefield to shake, as if the end of the world was coming, and the sky collapsed.
