Han Dao world

The Flying Bears also need to rest.

In order to defeat Guo Bang, they paid heavy casualties, and the physical exertion of men and horses was extremely great.

On the contrary, Shi Sunrui and Wei Jie's position was stronger than he imagined.

Rushing forward, even if he could succeed, he would be a miserable victory, unable to complete the final blow to the little emperor.

Instead of this, it is better to wait a little longer, wait for the reinforcements of the Chinese army to arrive, and attack together.

While watching Li Huan lead his troops to attack Wei Jie's position, Li Jue ordered people to treat the wounds and at the same time asked his subordinates to count the casualties.

The messenger rushed to the camp of the Chinese army with Li Jue's order.

-

Liu Xie stood on the hillside, looking at the noisy battlefield hundreds of steps away, his palms were full of sweat.

Soldiers Sun Rui and Wei Jie were already surrounded by the Xiliang army. Even Jujun's position appeared in front of the Xiliang cavalry galloping back and forth. There will be knights directly attacking the position.

Guang Luxun and Deng Quan were also very nervous, and led Huben Lang and Habayashi Lang to line up in front of Liu Xie's left and right sides, ready to fight at any time.

Song Guo beside Liu Xie was equally nervous, fully armed, and led Huben's servant to line up in front of Liu Xie.

Guo Wu led more than a hundred knights to stand on the side of the hillside, ready to take advantage of the slope to accelerate and meet the opponent's cavalry.

Holding a shield in one hand and a long knife in the other, Wang Yue and Shi A stood around Liu Xie, guarding against any arrows that might appear at any time.

Yang Xiu and Ding Chong also stood in front of Liu Xie as the last human shield.

The faces of the two of them were covered with loess, like mud monkeys. Sweat kept flowing down, rushing out of gullies, and then they were covered by loess again.

Liu Xie looked at them and wanted to laugh, but couldn't.

He was as embarrassed as they were, even worse.

Although he couldn't see the details of the battlefield clearly, he could feel Li Jue's murderous aura.

Guo Si is in danger.

Facing Li Jue's ferocious attack, Shi Sunrui and Wei Jie might be wiped out at any time.

But the Yang Ding he was looking forward to has not appeared for a long time.

With nearly a thousand shooters in the Shesheng Battalion and Huben and Habayashi with less than a thousand under Guang Luxun's command, it is impossible to block Li Jue's attack.

"Dezu, go to Yang Ding's camp and urge him." Liu Xie patted Yang Xiu's shoulder lightly.

Yang Xiu's head was covered with sweat and his teeth were chattering, but he still nodded.

"only."

"Guo Wu, you protect..."

"No, Your Majesty." Yang Xiu interrupted Liu Xie. "Guo Shilang stays by His Majesty's side in case of any eventuality. I just go to General Xingyi's camp and ask him for a few knights to protect me."

Liu Xie looked at Yang Xiu, hesitant to speak, feeling a little moved in his heart.

Why didn't he know that the battlefield was chaotic at this time, even if Guo Wu was to protect Yang Xiu, it still couldn't guarantee Yang Xiu's safety.

Yang Xiu was not only willing to go, but also wanted to keep Guo Wu, probably because he was determined to die, and he didn't want Guo Wu to die.

Although Yang Xiu was conceited and full of bookishness, when the critical moment came, he still dared to stand up.

"Dezu, be careful."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yang Xiu bowed his hands and saluted, holding up the hem of his clothes, he took big strides and ran towards Yang Feng's camp.

Ding Chong reminded: "Your Majesty, Guo Si has already proclaimed his vassal, and the right wing will be safe. You might as well send General Anji to come for reinforcements."

Liu Xie thought for a moment, then shook his head.

Ding Chong only spoke half of what he said.Calling Dong Chenglai for reinforcements is secondary, and asking Jia Xu for advice is what Ding Chong really wants to talk about.Facing such an urgent situation, Ding Chong panicked and instinctively wanted to ask for help.

But is it really good to invite Jia Xu?not necessarily.

Regardless of whether Jia Xu has the intention of coercing the bandits to respect himself or not, this battle must be completed by him himself.

Never ask Jia Xu for help unless it is absolutely necessary.

-

"Your Majesty, there are horses appearing from the southwest." Wang Yue said suddenly.

Liu Xie raised his eyes and saw smoke and dust rising from the southwest direction, as if thousands of cavalry were approaching.

Is this Li Jue's reinforcements, or is Yang Ding finally dispatched?

The two armies fought in a melee, the imperial court had limited troops, and there were very few scouts. The transmission of news was greatly disturbed, and there was a serious lag.

Even trying to see the battle flags on the battlefield is not easy.

Liu Xie didn't have any doubts for too long. The horns of the Xiliang Army sounded quickly, echoing each other, proving that those who came were Li Jue's reinforcements.

Liu Xie's uneasy heart immediately settled down, and sank to the bottom of the valley.

Li Jue is going to do his best, and Shi Sun Rui and Wei Jie are in danger.

Liu Xie gritted his teeth and ordered Ding Chong. "Call Guang Luxun and Deng Quan to see you."

Ding Chong pushed aside the servants of Huben, rushed to Guang Luxun and Deng Quan, and delivered the oral order.

Deng Quan didn't dare to be negligent, and ordered Cheng to act as an agent temporarily, and rushed to Liu Xie by himself.

"Deng Qing, Wei Wei is in critical condition, you prepare reinforcements and take them back to the formation."

Deng Quan cupped his hands and said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister is ready and only waits for Weiwei's order."

Liu Xie looked at Deng Quan in surprise. "Have you discussed it?"

Deng Quan nodded unhurriedly. "Yes, Wei Wei has already made arrangements, and will ensure that His Majesty is safe."

Liu Xie smacked his lips, but stopped talking.

No matter what Shi Sunrui's arrangement is, the intentions of the ministers and ministers to use this battle to show their loyalty and sense of existence are fully revealed, even blatantly, and they are suspected of forming a party.

These old stubborn, in order to regain power, really at all costs.

"How did you guys discuss it?"

Chapter 126 Blood Mill

Deng Quan opened his mouth to speak, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly woke up, turned his head to look at the battlefield, and said in feigned surprise: "Your Majesty, the Xiliang army is attacking, and I will defend against the enemy first." Before Liu Xie could agree, he turned around and left Run, with rare agility.

Liu Xie opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, after a long while, he spit out a mouthful of loess and spit out his mouth full of loess.

Ding Chong could see clearly, he hit zero, and then he was overjoyed.

Fortunately, I have been serving the emperor these few days, and I didn't get involved with these old officials, or I would be implicated.

"Your Majesty, Weiwei has changed his formation." Wang Yue said.

Liu Xie turned his head and saw that Sun Rui's position was shrinking under the command of the drums, and the formation became more dense, and the shields were densely overlapped, like fish scales.Countless spears stick out from between the shields like poisonous thorns.

Liu Xie felt familiar, before he could say anything, Shi A softly called out: "Yu Lizhen, this is Yu Lizhen."

Liu Xie turned to look at Shi A. "You recognize it?"

He has also read some military books these days, and he has heard of the name Yu Lizhen, but he doesn't think that the densely defended circle in front of him is Yu Lizhen.

Although there are many sayings about the Yuli Formation, one thing is certain, the Yuli Formation is a chariot battle formation.

Sun Rui obviously didn't have a chariot, so how could he get involved with Yu Lizhen?

Shia was a little embarrassed. "Occasionally, I heard people say that Taiwei Duan used it when he was begging for Eastern Qiang."

Liu Xie didn't ask any more questions.

Shi A's swordsmanship is very good, but his tactical literacy is very limited.Before this battle, he didn't even have real battlefield experience.

Hearsay is not worth pursuing.

Although it is uncertain whether the formation used by Shi Sun Rui is the Yuli formation, there is no doubt that this formation is conducive to defense.

The Xiliang army had an obvious advantage in strength, but faced with Shi Sun Rui's hedgehog-like formation, they felt a little bit helpless.They stormed around Shi Sunrui's position, but they were still unable to make a substantial breakthrough. Instead, they were massacred by the soldiers behind the shield.

There were more and more corpses in front of the circle, and they were piled up into a low wall.

This low wall not only hindered the cavalry from charging, but also caused a lot of trouble to the infantry.The soldiers of the Xiliang Army stepped forward to attack while stepping on the corpses of their companions. Their feet were unstable, and their chest and abdomen could not be well protected. They were easily stabbed by the spears protruding from behind the shields.

A Xiliang Military Academy lieutenant commanding the attack was obviously in a hurry. Riding on a horse, he unknowingly approached the position, raised his whip, and ordered the soldiers to come forward and attack.

Several crossbow arrows shot out from the formation of the Shesheng Battalion.

The Xiliang Military Academy lieutenant fell off his horse, and the two guards around him were also shot down, causing chaos.

Ju Jun ordered loudly, and the Shesheng Battalion fired another burst of arrows. Dozens of soldiers of the Xiliang Army who blocked Shi Sun Rui's way back to the formation were shot down, especially small officers like Qu Junhou and Tun Zhang. Pour most of it.

The Xiliang Army, which had lost its command, dispersed in a hurry.

Shi Sunrui seized this opportunity, commanded the circular formation, and moved towards the hillside.

At some point, the infantry battalion led by Wei Jie also retreated, forming a smaller circle, less than fifty steps away from the circle of the Weiwei Battalion, and they were still approaching.

The two circular formations were like two huge millstones, and the Xiliang army trying to prevent them from meeting was like wheat thrown into the millstone. It was crushed to a bloody mess and scattered, unable to organize an effective attack at all.

The Shesheng Battalion is based high on the hillside to provide long-range support, especially for precise sniping against the generals of the Xiliang Army.

Seeing this tacit cooperation, Liu Xie suddenly understood a little bit.

Shi Sunrui really made full preparations.

Supporting Guo Si may be just an excuse, leaving the existing position, attracting Li Jue to attack, using this kind of grinding plate formation to kill a large number of people, so that Li Jue can't bear the loss and retreats voluntarily is his real purpose.

After all, if the stalemate continues, they will face the danger of running out of food, and it is feasible for Li Jue to retreat on his own initiative.

If they can repel Li Jue, they will be the first to do their part. Shi Sun Rui can logically become an official as a Taiwei, and a few veteran officials can also stand in the court hall with their heads held high.

-

Li Jue bandaged the wound, ate a few pieces of cold meat, drank some wine, and replenished his strength. Then he got back on his horse and climbed up a slope.

He was taken aback by what he saw in front of him.

Although Li Huan surrounded Shi Sun Rui and Wei Jie, he did not make any substantial progress.

The two wheel-like circular formations are rock-solid in the tide-like attack, and it seems that they will not change even if they attack for a few more days.

But in front of the two circles, there were many corpses, and countless soldiers of the Xiliang Army had already fallen in a pool of blood.

Li Huan was still commanding the attack at the top of his lungs, but apart from causing more damage, he would not gain anything.

How could the North and South Army of the imperial court have such combat power?

Did Sun Rui actually have such an ability to use troops?

The more Li Jue thought about it, the more disturbed he became.

He wanted to lure Shi Sun Rui, so why didn't Shi Sun Rui want to lure him?

Judging from the current situation, Shi Sun Rui definitely came prepared.

Give up, or continue to attack?

Li Jue hesitated.

Giving up now, not only will all previous losses be in vain, but his weakness will also be seen by many people.Not only will he not be able to occupy Guanzhong, but it will not be easy to return to Liangzhou. I don't know how many people want to take his head to claim credit from the court.

If you continue to attack, even if you win, it will be a miserable victory.Facing Duan Yan, Zhang Ji and others, he did not have enough strength to suppress them, nor could he protect himself.

Dilemma, really desperate.

Li Jue turned to look towards the northwest corner of the battlefield.

The shouts of killing continued, and Hu Feng hadn't been able to kill Xie Guang, so he must have fallen into a hard fight.

Xie Guang is Guo Bang's most capable deputy, and with equal strength, he is more than enough to deal with Hu Feng.

Just when Li Jue was hesitating, Li Xian led his troops to arrive and asked Li Jue for instructions with the sound of a horn.

Li Jue thought for a while, and ordered Li Huan's troops to withdraw from the battlefield to rest, and Li Xian took over the offensive task.

At the same time, he ordered the Flying Bear Army to prepare for the assault.

Once Shi Sun Rui wants to take the opportunity to retreat to the hillside, the Feixiong army will take advantage of the situation to attack and completely defeat Shi Sun Rui's counterattack.

The long trumpet sounded, and Li Huan commanded his weak offensive subordinates to slowly withdraw from the battlefield.
