Turbulent Times Chapter 1517: Xu Shiji’s three wins with one stone
The right battalion of the Wagang Army was completely in disarray. Due to the existence of the 3,000 cavalry led by Wang Junlin himself, Li Mi shifted the focus of defense to his left wing, leaving the right wing empty.
Furthermore, Wang Junlin followed Li Jing's advice and repeatedly used the story of the wolf who came. This completely put the officers and soldiers of the Wagang Army into a state of absolute relaxation.
When Li Jing personally led two thousand cavalry into the Wagang Army camp from the right wing, the entire Wagang Army officers and soldiers on the right wing did not even have time to react, and the morale of the Wagang Army soldiers these days was already low Gao, and the place Li Jing chose was mainly where the Wagang Outer Camp was located. In this state, it was difficult to organize any effective counterattack and obstruction.
Li Mi looked at the burning right battalion with a sullen face, and saw his troops being cut into small pieces, helplessly being cut off from their horses, or having no horses at all, being trampled by the enemy's horses, his eyes were full of anger Xiong Xiong, in his central army camp, the elite of the brigade are beginning to assemble.
"The left wing must be defended no matter what. I don't want them to annihilate many enemies, as long as they block the Far East Army on the left wing." Li Mi roared, "The king of the dog day."
The right battalion of the Wagang Army camp has been completely broken and disabled. The two thousand cavalry led by Li Jing himself rushed into the Wagang Army camp and wiped out all the enemies standing in front one by one. It even goes directly from the south to the city of Fengyang in the north. Then turned around and went in again.
Li Shanfei and Li Xuanba in the city waited excitedly after receiving the secret letter from Wang Junlin asking Shen Guoer to send it in with a flying eagle in the evening. Seeing that the time had come, Li Xuanba couldn't wait Wielding a special big axe, he shouted loudly: "Open the city gate, open the city gate, we will cut in from the right flank of the Wagang army and cut Li Mi's army in two. We will kill them all!" .”
Soon, Li Xuanba rushed out of Fengyang City with more than 20,000 Violent Bear Battalion cavalry. Fengyang City.
The gate of the city was opened, and more than 20,000 cavalrymen of the Storm Bear Battalion rushed out of the city like a torrent of steel. The Storm Bear Battalion cavalry launched an attack.
Although Li Jing is good at commanding and fighting, he is brave enough personally, not to mention the strength of the cavalry of the Violent Bear Battalion. The main force of the battalion came over.
I have to say that the plan of the Far East Army is very smooth, every step and every link is very compact and just right.
Li Jing watched from afar as Li Xuanba led the main force of the Violent Bear Battalion out of the city as planned, and charged towards Li Mi's right wing, he was completely relieved.
"Charge!" Li Xuanba's burly body like a giant bear, wearing special armor, and a big ferocious face made him look like a demon. He was still the one who charged at the front, because he It is always the tip of the Bao Xiong Ying's precious blade that cuts iron like mud.
This precious blade precisely cut to the right wing of Wagang led by Li Mi, and then to the Chinese army, which is the only elite army in the Wagang camp that can still keep calm and have a certain morale.
The special long-handled big ax slashed down hard, and he rushed out first, followed by more than 20,000 cavalry, and the black torrent burst out.
At this time, most of the Wagang Camp has been completely messed up.
But Xu Shiji, the general manager of the Wagang Army, never came forward to organize the army to fight back.
In fact, when Li Xuanba led more than 20,000 troops from the Storm Bear Camp to rush out of Fengyang City to the Wagang Army camp five miles away, Xu Shiji led 50,000 elite Wagang soldiers, suddenly popped out.
Xu Shiji was not attacking the Violent Bear Camp led by Li Xuanba, but was attacking Fengyang City where only a few thousand troops under Li Shanfei's command were stationed. They even led a large number of siege equipment, which shows that they are very well prepared.
Obviously, Xu Shiji had expected that the Far Eastern Army would attack the camp tonight, but he didn't know whether he had guessed before Li Jing's strategy of exhausting troops started, or noticed it after the exhaustion of troops.
Li Shanfei obviously did not expect that under such circumstances, Xu Shiji would lead 50,000 elite troops to attack Fengyang City regardless of the safety of Wagang Camp. Most of the people are carefully selected masters and elites, and they even stormed the city in a very short period of time.
It is a pity that the Far East Army has too many secret terrorist weapons. Originally, Xu Shiji had expected that the thousands of expert dead soldiers he had carefully selected would be an unexpected surprise attack, and they would be able to attack Fengyang no matter what. of the city.
Unfortunately, there are also dead soldiers in Fengyang City, and the dead soldiers are also masters. Compared with the dead soldiers of the Wagang Army, the black armored soldiers trained by Nie Xiaoyu are the real dead soldiers
Because they don't seem to feel any pain or emotion, they are war machines that obey orders without any conditions and without any hesitation, and these war machines are all masters above the stagnation period and proficient in the battlefield On the whole, the fighting style of the dead soldiers is a level higher than that of the masters selected by the Wagang Army.
The most important thing is that these black-armored dead soldiers of the Far Eastern Army are armed to the teeth, with grenades, explosive packs, light steel armor, new-style rapid-fire crossbows, etc., whether it is attack strength and speed, or defense Both the size and strength far surpassed the dead soldiers of the Wagang Army.
So, even though the Wagang Army has more dead soldiers than the Far Eastern Army, because the latter is defending and has a city wall to rely on, it will eventually attack the top of the city at the expense of twenty dead soldiers. Nearly a thousand dead soldiers of the Wagang Army were all killed, and most of them were the result of the twenty black-armored soldiers who ignited the explosive packs on their bodies and died together with dozens of dead soldiers of the Wagang Army.
"This is the last chance..." Xu Shiji looked sad and desperate when he saw that his troops failed to attack the city after being destroyed by a series of explosions in the first attack. He muttered to himself: "There is no chance. We, Wagang, Fengyang City, will never regain it."
"Send the order, withdraw troops, withdraw!" Knowing that the opportunity had been lost, Xu Shiji decisively ordered to retreat.
But Xu Shiji glanced at the Wagang Army camp that was in complete chaos, and instead of leading his troops to support him, he led his troops around the camp and disappeared into the vast night.
Wang Junlin watched Xu Shiji lead the people away from a distance, except for Shen Guoer to send people to follow and stare at Xu Shiji's men and horses, he did not send anyone to chase after him, because he knew that Xu Shiji was looking forward to his division of troops at this time to chase.
"My lord, what Xu Shiji did is killing three birds with one stone." Shen Guoer said after thinking for a while.
Wang Junlin nodded and said appreciatively: "That's right, ever since the battle at Xiaohedao Mountain Pass, Xu Shiji had already guessed that I wanted to subdue him, so he divided his troops and retreated at this time because he wanted me to divide them to chase him. Compared to directly leading troops into the chaotic battlefield in the dark, Xu Shiji's move is the best way to solve Li Mi's difficulties."
Shen Guoer said with a smile: "The second reason for Xu Shiji's splitting up and fleeing is that he doesn't want to stay with Li Mi anymore. According to the news from our spies in the Wagang Army, the effect of the prince's alienation plan has been exhausted." It can be seen that although Li Mi's suspicion of Xu Shiji will not be shown on the surface, some small actions in secret have not stopped, and with Xu Shiji's mind, how can he not know that he is also worried that one day he may die in front of Li Mi. Under the poisoned wine."
Wang Junlin said: "The third purpose of Xu Shiji's retreat is probably to rush back to Wagang Village early. He has obviously guessed what happened in Wagang Village, and he has also expected Li Mi. After returning to Wagangzhai, Zhai Rang and Zhai Rang must be in an endless situation."
"Xu Shiji wants to prevent this from happening. I have to say that his vision is far-sighted, and what he does is the most correct from his point of view. The third person, the head of the Wagang Army, can't stop him either." Shen Guoer sneered.
……
……
The sky is a little paler. Although it is still night, people's vision has become much clearer. Li Mi personally led the 30,000 Wagang Chinese army to rush out. Li Jing led 2,000 cavalry just a hundred paces away from him. There was a buzzing sound from the crossbow, and a rain of arrows shot out. At the same time, Li Jing actually ordered two thousand cavalry to dismount and formed an infantry circle formation as quickly as possible.
On the chaotic battlefield, only Li Jing can do such a decisive thing from fast-moving and powerful cavalry to slow-moving and relatively weak infantry.
Of course Li Jing has his own reasons, because he has rushed to the core position of the Wagang Army with these two thousand people, and Li Xuanba's more than 20,000 people and Wang Junlin's more than 3,000 people will be killed in a short while. The Wagang Army has nearly 100,000 troops entangled, and they will not be able to reach here in a short time.
The most important thing for the Far Eastern Army, which has a relatively small number of troops, is to prevent it from being disrupted and fight with the Wagang Army. If it is insufficient, it will be magnified ten times immediately.
Although the cavalry also had battle formations, even if it was the Bear Battalion led by Li Jing, it was difficult to guarantee that they would not be broken up during the scuffle, but it was different if it was the infantry.
Because, with the discipline and formation quality of the Far Eastern Army, once an infantry battle formation is formed, it will become a whole, an extremely hard and indestructible boulder in the flood.
However, on the chaotic battlefield, cavalry dismounted and turned into infantry, and formed a battle formation. This needs to be completed in a very short period of time, which is really too difficult, even for ordinary troops. /
Maybe.
It can even be said that among the armies of the world, only the Far East Army can do such a thing.
But even the Far Eastern Army, under the cover of bows and crossbows, was overwhelmed by tens of thousands of horses led by Li Mi almost as soon as they got off their horses and got close together.
"Form a round formation, defend and defend!" Li Jing brandished his thick back saber, charged left and right to kill, and constantly adjusted his deployment in the chaos so that his two thousand infantry formed a circular formation, with two long rows outside. The spearmen rose one after another, constantly stabbing Li Mi's 10,000 bodyguard cavalry who were charging at the front off their horses, while the inner three circles were holding fast crossbows and firing freely.
During this process, the soldiers of the Stormy Bear Battalion on the outskirts were constantly being knocked into the air or knocked down by the powerful cavalry, and at this time, the fast crossbowmen in the inner three circles would drop their fast crossbows immediately, Take the long gun to fill the gap.
"Hold on, hold on! Stab, stab!" Li Jing led a hundred black-armored dead men specially assigned to him by Wang Junlin in the circle. In the past, he slashed wildly and stabilized the line of defense.
In the chaos of the soldiers, the soldiers of the 2000 Violent Bear Battalion, who had become infantry, gradually stabilized their formation, like a mainstay in the torrent of cavalry, firmly holding the line of defense.
Originally, Li Mi's army had gathered more than 30,000 people who had not yet fallen into chaos, but the 2,000 people led by Li Jing were inserted into the core position and attracted nearly half of them at once. Nearly ten times as many people and horses, but with the advantages of the Far Eastern Army's steel armor, face shield helmets, steel guns, fast crossbows, and more advanced tactics, they just couldn't gain the upper hand.
On the left wing, Wang Junlin divided the 3,000 cavalry into two, and personally led 1,000 cavalry to bypass the left wing, and joined the attack on Li Miwei's army, while the remaining 2,000 people continued to attack the Wagang camp. The left wing is still in chaos, and the left wing of the Wagang Army is also on the verge of collapse.
Li Mi sadly found that he had the upper hand in terms of overall strength, but in every battle direction during the battle, he was always inexplicably unable to gain the upper hand, and was even at a disadvantage.
Especially Li Jing's 2,000 pawns were more like a nail drilled into his stomach, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable, but he was unable to remove it.
Seeing that although the opponent's circle is being compressed step by step by myself, it is getting smaller and smaller, but the smaller it is, the greater its rebounding force, and the more I have to pay a greater price to further compress it inward. Even though the two thousand troops were eliminated, his right wing would inevitably be completely defeated by Li Xuanba's 20,000 Violent Bear Battalion cavalry, and looking back at the left wing, the line of defense was already crumbling.
Bowing his head in pain, Li Mi said: "Order He Yongyi to lead the 10,000 daredevils selected yesterday to kill the rear, and the others to retreat, retreat..." His eyes were bloodshot, and he said unwillingly After giving the order, after saying this sentence, the teeth actually bit down on his own lips.
Li Mi ordered his soldiers to blow the horn to retreat. Li Jing, who had been crushed by the circle, finally took a breath. There were more than 1,300 of their 2,000 people left, and Wang Junlin sent him Nearly half of the 100 black-armored soldiers died. To be honest, if there were no such hundred black-armored soldiers, at least half of his 2,000 people would die, and it is very likely that they would not be able to survive under the crazy attack led by Li Mi. The Gang army withdrew.
Looking at the Wagang cavalry receding like a tide, Li Jing leaned on his knife and panted heavily, thinking that his plan had been mostly successful, that he had accomplished a huge amount of military exploits, and the most important thing was that this battle had laid the foundation for his victory in one fell swoop. Realizing his position in Wang Junlin's heart, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Li Mi is nothing more than that. If Xu Shiji was here just now, he must be able to see that if they attack for a while, I really can't stand it."
Seeing Li Mi's retreat, Wang Junlin knew that the gap between his army and the opponent's was too great, and he couldn't stop the retreat of the Wagang people at all, let alone blocking the Wagang army at this time, it would definitely force every Wagang army If you try your best, even if you kill all these Wagang troops, there may not be much left of the nearly 30,000 troops of the Far East Army. Such a result was not what Wang Junlin wanted to see.
Therefore, Wang Junlin did not make too much entanglement. Immediately according to the plan, he ordered to open a hole to let the former soldiers of the Wagang Army escape. kill some.
Riding his horse up to Li Jing, Wang Junlin laughed and jumped off his horse, and said, "That's right, you, Li Jing, were the one responsible for the plan in this battle just now, and you led two thousand troops to entangle Li Mi's most powerful man." More than 20,000 elites made the first contribution. Well, you take these 1,000 people to clean up the battlefield, take care of the wounded soldiers and take care of the prisoners, and get them all to Fengyang City, and continue to hunt down the defeated Wagang Army. Leave the matter to Li Xuanba!"
