Standing on the hillside, Liu Xie watched the armor cavalry change, understood Li Jue's intentions, and secretly complained.

He looked into the distance, hoping to see signs of reinforcements coming.

The battlefield with a radius of several miles was filled with smoke and dust, and there were people everywhere. Even if there were reinforcements in the distance, he couldn't see clearly.

And he also knew that Yang Xiu had been gone for so long, and Yang Ding hadn't been dispatched yet, so most likely he wouldn't come.

In the end, it was still wrong.

At the critical moment, Yang Ding still bowed his head to his instinct and became a shrinking turtle.

The battlefield in the north also gradually fell silent, and Guo Bang's attack basically failed, so he could only stick to the camp and wait for his final fate.

Perhaps, he originally had such a plan in mind, and he took the initiative to attack just as a show.

Each has its own plan, each has its own thoughts, and none of them can be relied upon.

There is no army that can come when called, can fight when it comes, and can win if it fights. It can't even save its life, and there is no talk of revival.

Shi A handed over the water, Liu Xie rinsed his mouth, took another two sips, and ordered someone to call Song Guo.

"How did you learn that unique skill?"

Song Guo bowed to salute. "I was naughty when I was young, but I was good as a knight-errant. I once traveled to Liangzhou and learned this skill from the Qiang people. I haven't used it for many years, and I am unfamiliar with it."

"Can you still throw it now?"

Song Guo shook his head with a helpless expression.After Li Jue changed his formation, Jiaqi moved to the west of Shisun Rui and Wei Jie, at least [-] steps away from him, which was far beyond his ability.

"Can I throw it now?"

Song Guo shook his head. "As far as I know, this technique is originally an infantry martial art, and there is no one in ten thousand who can perform it on horseback."

Liu Xie didn't say anything more.In his impression, this kind of spear-throwing should be used both immediately and step-by-step, but it's more difficult to throw spears immediately.

"You used to be an officer of Li Jue's army. In your opinion, is Li Jue going to fight for his life?"

Song Guo glanced at the distance. "I think that he is a cornered beast, and he has reached the end of his strength."

"Why?"

"Among the generals in Xiliang, Li Jue is the most cunning, and he often does unexpected things. For example, this armored cavalry may be the surprise soldier he has planned for a long time. But cunning people often have no determination to die and survive. Once prepared If the means fail to work, they will take the initiative to retreat and put survival first."

Song Guo pointed at the Jiaqi in the distance. "Although Li Jue defeated the Weiwei's position, he failed to defeat the infantry battalion. Instead, he lost more than ten cavalry. I was afraid that he was too timid to attack again, and he was unwilling to stop here. He could only change direction and avoid me. Sharp."

"So... he is the last fight?"

"Very likely." Song Guo said, "If not, he should have attacked the Shesheng Battalion at the same time."

Liu Xie looked at Song Guo for a moment. "Wei Wei fixed the time, did you ask for advice?"

Song Guo showed a self-confident smile. "I don't dare to ask for advice. I just explained Li Jue's military habits for the Weiwei, so that I can refer to it."

Chapter 134

An impulse surged in Liu Xie's heart.

If you go to Bingzhou in the future, you must dig Guo Linzong's grave first.

Such a person is elected by substituting private opinion for public opinion and influencing the selection of officials?

It's just that compared to Guo Linzong's tomb in Bingzhou, the immediate problem is more urgent, which can be related to his life and death.

"Can Weiwei return to the battle safely?" Liu Xie raised his chin and motioned Song Guo to look at the battlefield below the hillside.

The expression on Song Guo's face changed slightly, she clenched her fists and bowed to salute. "Your servant, please lead Huben to attack and meet Wei Wei."

"Is this the plan you discussed earlier?"

Song Guo lowered her head and remained silent.

Liu Xie didn't say anything, and waved his hand, signaling Song Guo to go quickly.

As a native of Jizhou, Ju Jun is willing to advance and retreat with Shi Sun Rui.As the township party of Sun Rui and Wei Jie, Song Guo has no reason not to go all out.

It is not only Sangong Jiuqing who want to seize the opportunity to rise, but also the people in the middle.

Song Guo turned and left, Liu Xie gave Guo Wu a wink, telling him to get ready to attack.

Huben Lang led by Song Guo now only has a mighty name left, and his combat effectiveness is scum.They took the initiative to attack. Not only could they not welcome Sun Rui and Wei Jie back, but they might be directly surrounded and annihilated by Xiliang soldiers.

Sun Rui and Wei Jie have been able to persevere until now, not only because they have more military experience, but also because they have trained hard during this period of time, and because they have recruited a large number of lieutenant soldiers from Dong Chengying.

The fighting will and skills possessed by soldiers who have been stimulated with subjective initiative are the key to persist until now.

If it weren't for Li Jue's armored cavalry with super attack power, Shi Sun Rui might really be able to win the battle.

However, at this moment, the ideal of fullness has finally become a skinny reality. Shi Sunrui suffered a crushing defeat, and Wei Jie couldn't hold on for long.

Song Guo also gave away the head.

The last glimmer of hope is only the hundred or so elite riders in his hands.

"Where is your Majesty going?" Seeing Liu Xie remounting the horse, Ju Jun hurried over and reached out to grab the reins.

Liu Xie had been prepared for a long time, and raised his hand to whip a horsewhip on Ju Jun's hand.

Suffering from the pain, Ju Jun subconsciously withdrew his hand and glared at Liu Xie.

Liu Xie also widened his eyes and shouted: "Presumptuous, do you still want to throw me another fall?"

Ju Jun was at a loss for words, and closed his mouth embarrassingly, but still stopped in front of Liu Xie, refusing to back down.

"Where is His Majesty going?"

"Rush."

"Absolutely not."

"Then watch Weiwei die in battle?"

"When the country is in trouble, it is only natural that the minister dies." Ju Jun said loudly, "Your Majesty has a body of gold and bears the weight of the world, so don't fight. Please turn around quickly and prepare to retreat."

"Retreat? Where to retreat?"

Gritting his teeth, Ju Jun walked to Liu Xie's saddle. "Your Majesty, please transfer to Yuan. Weiwei has prepared a boat. Your Majesty can take the boat to the east of the river and join the Taiwei, and then plan further."

"How many boats are there?"

"Three boats."

"How many people can it carry at a time?"

"Two thirty people, your majesty, the queen, and nobles are invited to board the same boat, and the ministers share the second boat."

Liu Xie glanced at Ju Jun. "In this way, you have already made preparations to be benevolent if you don't succeed."

Ju Jun said in a deep voice, "This is what the ministers should do."

"Thank you, gentlemen, but I won't leave."

"His Majesty……"

Liu Xie raised his whip, Ju Jun was startled, and instinctively took a step back.Liu Xie didn't knock him, but pointed to the big camp behind him.

"If I abandon the lords, all the soldiers and their families, and escape alone, the big man will really die." Liu Xie turned and pointed to the battlefield under the hillside. "All the kings can serve as servants of the great man, but I, as the Son of Heaven, how can I live on meddling?"

Ju Jun was moved in his heart, but he still patiently persuaded him: "Your Majesty, Chong Er lost his country, went into exile for 19 years, and finally became a hegemon.

"Don't tell me that Goujian is such a villain." Liu Xie interrupted Jujun. "When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. I am more willing to follow the story of Emperor Guangwu, put him to death and survive." He lowered his head and looked at Ju Jun. "Do you really hope that I am a monarch like Goujian who can share adversity but not wealth?"

Ju Jun was speechless.

"Hurry up and get ready. The arrows of the Shesheng Camp have almost been shot, so order all the soldiers to draw their swords and fight Li Jue to the death."

Ju Jun raised his head and took a look at Liu Xie.

Liu Xie's face was covered with dust, but his eyes were extraordinarily bright, revealing a look of determination.

Ju Jun's heart moved, and he felt a little more confident for no reason.After bowing and giving a salute, he turned back to the Shesheng Battalion's position and gave orders one after another.

The soldiers of the Shesheng Battalion moved to the sides to make way for a passage.

Liu Xie pulled out the long knife at his waist and shook it at Song Guo who was in the distance.

Song Guo understood, and rushed to the front of the battle with the Tigers, ready to attack.

"The Son of Heaven is out—" Ju Jun raised his sword and screamed. "Send! Send! Send!"

The drums and thunder sounded, and the soldiers of the Shesheng Battalion raised their crossbows and fired continuously.

Arrows were like rain, whizzing away from the string, and rushed towards the Xiliang soldiers down the hillside.

Xiliang soldiers didn't dare to be careless, they stopped attacking one after another and raised their shields.

"Duk! Duck! Duck!" The arrows hit the shield, and many Xiliang soldiers were shot, wailing in pain.

Someone heard the sound of horseshoes amidst the crackling sound of popping beans. Taking a peek, they saw a troop of cavalry galloping down the hillside, taking advantage of the slope to accelerate, getting faster and closer.

"Cavalry charging into battle—" a Xiliang soldier exclaimed loudly.

But few people heard it, and few people stood up to block it. Most of them shrank behind their shields to avoid the rain of arrows.

Surrounded by Wang Yue and others, Liu Xie rushed into the formation under the cover of arrow rain.

Guo Wu took the lead, swung his spear in his hand, stabbed down two cavalrymen from Xiliang who came up one after another, shouted loudly, and lifted a village chief into the air.

Wang Yue and Shi A brandished their long knives and slashed left and right.

Liu Xie held his long knife, but had no chance to touch the enemy. He was surrounded by the cavalry and rushed towards the formation.

Although his height is not advantageous, his mount is a real Xiliang horse, which is one foot taller than ordinary war horses, enough for him to see the surrounding situation.

He stared at Li Jue's battle flag.

Shoot people first, shoot horses, and capture thieves first.

Only by killing Li Jue will there be a chance to turn defeat into victory.

"Li Jue! Li Jue!" Liu Xie reminded Guo Wu loudly, don't try to have fun for a while and forget the real goal.

His riding skills are not good enough to lead the cavalry, he can only be used as a symbol, follow along, and the task of leading the horse is given to Guo Wu.

Guo Wu raised his spear and shouted loudly: "The emperor has an order to kill Li Jue!" He turned his horse's head and ran in the direction of Li Jue.

"The Son of Heaven has an edict to kill Li Jue—" the knights shouted in unison, kicking their horses fiercely, and followed closely.

Hearing the word "Son of Heaven", Xiliang soldiers were inexplicably terrified and stopped to watch.

Although they didn't see the emperor himself, they could see that the armor of these knights was different. This was undoubtedly the emperor's forbidden army, Hu Benlang.

Taking advantage of the Xiliang soldiers' distraction, Liu Xie and others passed through Li Huan's position, circled an arc, and rushed towards Li Jue's battle flag.

At the same time, Song Guo led Huben Lang down the hillside, entered the Xiliang army formation, and approached Wei Jie and Shi Sunrui.

Chapter 135

With the sound of war drums, thousands of people shouted in unison, resounding across the battlefield.

The women and family members watching the battle on the plateau were condescending, and they could see the most clearly. They watched the emperor lead hundreds of horses rushing down the hillside, entering the Xiliang army formation, and quickly approaching Li Jue's battle flag. .

Empress Fushou and nobleman Song Du were also among them. They held each other's hands tightly, too nervous to speak.

Tang Ji and Cai Yan stood aside, both of them held their breath, their eyes were fixed on the direction of the emperor, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.

"Zhao...Zhaoji, if...the Son of Heaven wins, how will the history books be written?" Tang Ji tremblingly said.

Cai Yan swallowed. "It should be compared with Emperor Guangwu's battle of Kunyang."

Tang Ji nodded again and again, because the sweat on her forehead was thrown out because of too much force.

"Mother, the Son of Heaven is attacking, the Son of Heaven is attacking." Ding Yi, whose face was still wrapped in a cloth and could only see with one eye, jumped up and pointed in the direction of the Son of Heaven. "Is Aon among them?"

Ding Chong's wife held Ding Yi tightly. "Yes, yes, you, Aunt, are by the side of the emperor, so naturally you will attack with the emperor."

"Oh, I'm going to fight with the emperor, I'm going to fight with the emperor." Ding Yi shouted excitedly.

The other kids look at each other.Some dismissed it, saying that they also had relatives who were in the big formation, fighting bloody battles with Xiliang people.Some seemed very disappointed. Their father and brother were civil servants, and they lived on the plateau.

Hearing the children's contentious bickering, Tang Ji and Cai Yan exchanged glances and smiled in unison.

If the Son of Heaven can win this battle, he will become a hero in the hearts of countless people.
