Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Li Yi sighed with emotion, this sentence came from the bottom of his heart, without any falsehood.

Kuai Yue bowed and said softly: "The lord treats me like a national, and the subordinates can only do their best to repay the lord!"

……

Near noon, the 3000 people in the Guards Battalion, as well as the [-] elite soldiers and horses ordered by Wei Yan, left the camp one after another after a five-point meal, heading towards Dongping Mausoleum, and walked several miles , Then some scouts sent back the news, Yan Liang was waiting in an array of two thousand infantry, except for three miles away, there were two thousand soldiers and horses to respond, Yan Liang's side did not ambush, even Li Yi's scouts approached, Yan Liang did not call anyone stop.

After hearing the news, the generals on Li Yi's side were very angry, thinking that Yan Liang was defiant.

When the two armies are at war, unless there is some kind of established strategic plan, or the difference in strength is too great, like the one where Cao Cao faced Li Yi in Yanzhou, it is rare for both sides to press down on the whole army as soon as they meet. win or lose situation.

Because the war is too dangerous, even if the general who leads the troops is a reckless man, he knows the reason to be cautious when using troops. Therefore, when there is no trick available, the two sides often test each other with a small amount of troops first to confirm the opponent's combat power. and morale, and based on this, make corresponding adjustments, and then strive to continuously consume the opponent's vital strength, soldiers' morale, and military supplies through this small-scale battle, and wait until one side has a greater certainty of winning, and then They will prepare for a decisive battle, and the disadvantaged side will also make a choice between facing the enemy or temporarily avoiding the edge.

In short, fighting is a very prudent thing. Today, Yan Liang took the initiative to invite the battle first, and set up a battle early. He didn't even fear the prying of Li Yi's scouts, and directly exposed all his combat power to the outside. This is very reckless, but At the same time, it was also an expression of extreme confidence, and it seemed that Li Yi had been settled.

This made the generals on Li Yi's side feel humiliated and very angry, even Li Yi was no exception.

However, because he didn't have much hope for this round of contest, Li Yi quickly calmed down and began to think about the meaning of Yan Liang's seemingly Meng Lang's actions. Then Li Yi discovered that if he was determined to win Xia was suddenly defeated for a while, and it was easy to make a decision to regain the position when he was angry. Then, it is very likely that this battle will start with a tug-of-war, and Yan Liang will take the lead. When he changes his strategy later, the morale of the army will definitely be to drop a lot.

After thinking of this, Li Yi once again corrected his mentality and faced all opponents squarely, even if the opponent seemed to be just a martial artist.

At a quarter of noon, Yan Liang and Wei Yan finished their respective armies. The distance between the two armies was about [-] steps, and they could charge and fight at any time just waiting for an order.

Yan Liang squinted at the people on the opposite side, with contempt in his eyes, and smiled at the people around him: "Li Yi can run across the Central Plains, not because Li Yi is strong, but because there are no people in the Central Plains, as if all his soldiers are like today, hehe , the war in Qingzhou will be worry-free!"

By Yan Liang's side, besides the generals of his headquarters, there were Tian Feng, Han Meng, and Hua Yan.

Just as Li Yi wanted to observe the situation of the soldiers and horses of the Jizhou Army, Yuan Tan also had a similar plan, but Yuan Tan was a little afraid of Li Yi, so he didn't go to the battle in person, but let Hua Yan and Han Meng watch the battle for him. As for Tian Feng Yuan Tan didn't want Tian Feng to take risks before the battle, but Tian Feng came by himself.

"The general is mighty, this battle will surely be victorious!"

Hua Yan immediately gave Yan Liang a flattery. Although he was a close friend of Yuan Tan, his weight was much lower than that of Yan Liang, and he didn't dare to use his power to be rude to Yan Liang.

Han Meng also thought that his side was not bad, but he still reminded: "General Yan, don't be careless. I think the soldiers and horses on the other side are very well-organized. It can be said that I have only seen it in my life. Don't be careless."

Although Tian Feng didn't speak directly, he nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with Han Meng's opinion.

Yan Liang smiled and said: "Indeed, the military formation on the opposite side is more rigorous than mine. As far as the formation alone is concerned, there are almost no flaws, but come and see—"

Yan Liang pointed to his soldiers on the left and right, then pointed to the opposite side, and asked, "What's the difference?"

Both Han Meng and Hua Yan shook their heads, but couldn't find anything, but Tian Fengruo realized something, and tentatively said: "The other side seems to be a bit less... aggressive?"

"Sir, you really have eyes!"

Yan Liang cupped his hands at Tian Feng, and then said: "Please look, sir, the soldiers in the front row of our army are moving forward with a formidable aura, while the opposite side is neat and tidy, but it looks like a dead thing, and there is no murderous look at all, although I don't know Which army under Li Yi's command is this, but I conclude that this army has never seen blood, if Li Yi's army is full of such people, how can it be my opponent of Jizhou's elite in all battles?"

Tian Feng nodded slightly, although the murderous aura was a bit mysterious and invisible, but according to what Yan Liang said, he also found that his side was more aggressive.

Yan Liang said with anticipation again: "Sir, after the Qingzhou War, I intend to advise the lord that as long as the lord allows me to have [-] troops, I can make Li Yi run around all year, tired of coping, and cut off his northward journey." Think about it!"

Tian Feng glanced at Yan Liang, he knew that Yan Liang wanted him to help speak in front of Yuan Shao, Tian Feng was very moved by this, if it could be done, Yuan Shao would be able to attack Hebei with peace of mind, but he did not directly agree , because whether this matter is really feasible depends on Li Yi's overall combat power, rather than simply generalizing.

Yan Liang didn't expect Tian Feng to immediately agree to help, he smiled with a hearty voice, and then waved his hand, and the lieutenant next to him gave him a weapon. Jump forward, very fast.

At the same time, the battle drums of the military formation also thumped, falling on everyone's hearts like thunder, and the soldiers under Yan Liang immediately moved when they heard the sound, stepping on the drums and marching forward slowly.

Yan Liang rode fast, and within a few breaths, he came to the center of the two formations, pointed his long knife forward, and shouted: "An unknown person dares to fight me, quickly let Li Yi come and die!"

Wei Yan was also observing Yan Liang's army formation at this time. Although he was very confident in front of Li Yi before, in fact, Wei Yan was still very careful in doing things, especially after observing for a while, he also really felt that Yan Liang's group of people were not good. It's easy to deal with, if you don't think carefully, the outcome may be uncertain.

However, before Wei Yan could come up with a solution, Yan Liang rushed forward, followed by soldiers and horses behind him. Although the speed was not fast, but with the drumbeat, the pressure on people was not small.

However, what made Wei Yan angry the most was Yan Liang's taunting when he came up, or taunting him and Li Yi at once.

Several officers who followed Wei Yan were very angry. Although they felt invincible, they still wanted to learn Yan Liang's martial arts, but Wei Yan stopped them, then shook the reins, took two steps forward, and shouted from a distance: " Mrs. Yan Liang, don’t you know? Your eldest son knew that Qingzhou could not be defended, so in order to save his life, he sent his beautiful wife to my lord’s tent. husband?"

As soon as Wei Yan said this, Li Yi, who was watching the battle on the high ground in the distance, immediately turned dark, and the rest of the people were also hindered by the occasion, so they suppressed their laughter.

However, Yan Liang on the opposite side was a little furious. Although he was rude to Li Yi in words, it was just a routine routine to boost morale, but Wei Yan was really shameless.

Yan Liang roared loudly: "Wei Yan, could it be that Li Yi's subordinates are all scoundrels like you? If a man came up to fight me, I will definitely take your head within ten minutes!"

Wei Yan didn't move, if he could kill Yan Liang, he would naturally go up, but Yan Liang gave him a very powerful feeling, Wei Yan thought to himself that at most it would be a tie, so he had no idea of ​​fighting at all, he just kept talking and continued to taunt Said: "You are also worthy to fight with me. Let Yuan Tan come. I will kill him like killing a chicken. You don't need ten rounds, three swords will do!"

"Wei Yan, you are a warrior after all, so timid, you are not afraid of being ridiculed!"

"Yan Liang, I advise you to surrender quickly, and I can still ask the lord to spare your life in the future!"

……

Yan Liang and Wei Yan kept scolding each other. During this period, Yan Liang's soldiers and horses continued to advance, while the soldiers and horses behind Wei Yan began to change formation, retracting their wings slightly, and made a solid posture.

Soon, when there were less than fifty steps left in the equidistant distance, the two sides seemed to have made an agreement, and the drums on both sides suddenly became more beating. Wei Yan also ordered the soldiers to start charging forward. Obviously, both sides planned to break up the opponent's army formation at the first encounter.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

Amid the shouts of killing, the two armies collided quickly, and at the moment of contact, blood spattered everywhere where the two armies overlapped, countless soldiers were stabbed and fell to the front, and then were killed Or the opponent's troops trampled past, screaming and screaming one after another. It was just a hedge, and the casualties of the soldiers in the front row of the two armies were basically more than [-]%.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

However, even though they lost a lot in the first fight, the soldiers on both sides did not intend to back down in the slightest. Row after row of soldiers continued to move forward, trying to tear apart the gap in the opponent's army formation first.

Yan Liang and Wei Yan, who commanded in the army formation, were all shocked when they saw this. The Hebei army was strong and brave. But it was a match with him.

However, Wei Yan was even more shocked. His 2000 people today are almost the most elite group of Xuzhou and Yangzhou recruits, and he also played tricks by concentrating his troops before the battle, and concentrated the most brave people at the forefront , originally wanted to use this arrangement to punch through Yan Liang's men, but he tried his best to kill them to a tie.

Wei Yan knew that if this fight continued, he would definitely lose when the vigor in front was exhausted.

Chapter 716

Li Yi was watching the battle from a distance, and he was quite happy at this time. In his sight, Wei Yan led the soldiers who had just been trained in Xuzhou and Yangzhou, and they could compete with Yan Liang on a par. The very gratifying result far exceeded Li Yi's expectations.

No wonder Li Yi thinks so. Although he has accumulated a lot of experience in the war, it is mainly in the grand strategy. Now it is no problem for Li Yi to plan the camp and even arrange the specific formation of the army. Li Yi was obviously inferior in this specific on-the-spot tactic.

Just when Li Yizheng was expecting Wei Yan's next performance, Zhang Liao came to Li Yijin, bowed and said, "My lord, Yan Liang's troops are really fierce. I'm afraid this tie won't last long. Please make preparations early, my lord."

Zhang Liao said it implicitly, but everyone understood the meaning. The so-called early preparations meant to quickly arrange for people to meet Wei Yan.
