Chapter 4408 The troops are divided into two groups
Li Keman laughed and said with a smile: "What did the prince say? The duty of the general is not only to fulfill Emperor Taizong's last wish, but also to ensure the safety of the prince. In this time of war and chaos, the general must The guards around the king are always at your service. Dispatch, as for Zuo Wuwei... The Duke of Liang is brave and good at fighting, so there is no need for the general to worry. Furthermore, the Duke of Liang has marched hundreds of miles from Liangzhou in order to achieve the feat of following the dragon. Talented, but unwilling to take advantage of others.”
The two of them talked nonsense back and forth, and they had already figured out each other's intentions, and they coincided with each other.
This laid the foundation for cooperation...
The awning made of linen was pitter-pattered by the big raindrops. The rainwater poured down from the edges and soon gathered on the ground to form a meandering stream of water, flowing towards the low places.
Li Keman asked: "I wonder what the prince's plan is?"
Li Huaiqin said: "The Duke of Liang is brave and good at fighting, and his You Xiaowei is the most powerful army in the world. We are far behind."
Li Keman nodded repeatedly.
Li Huaiqin added: "Zuowu's guards have strong horses and strong horses, and Cheng Yaojin is the strongest army in the world. Even if we gather the three armies of you, me and Liang Guogong, we may not be able to win. It is more likely that both sides will suffer losses and be delayed." This Xianyang Bridge caused the King of Jin to be unable to receive reinforcements, so that the situation completely deteriorated and there was no way to recover. "
"The words of the prince are reasonable, so the most important thing at the moment is to arrive in Chang'an as soon as possible, assist His Highness the King of Jin in capturing Wude Palace, occupying Taiji Palace, and taking over the imperial center to announce to the world that he has ascended the throne. Everything else must make way for this."< br>
"That's right! We all have been favored by Emperor Taizong, and we have given up life and death for Emperor Taizong's last wish. As long as we can achieve this goal, even if we are stained with blood on the battlefield and wrapped in horse leather, what regrets do we have?"
"The prince is really a loyal man. He will always admire you without any place, and he is willing to stick to his tail and follow his horse's head!"
With one glance and one word, the two of them not only expressed their own thoughts, but also received everything from the other party. It was like the three views were in harmony.
So we hit it off immediately.
Immediately, the two armies made fire and cooked food, and had dinner in the heavy rain. After a brief repair, they broke out of camp, crossed the Weishui River along the pontoon bridge, and quickly landed on the south bank of the Weishui River.
The battle on the shore was extremely fierce, and the Right Xiaowei was so fierce that they thought they could disperse the Zuowuwei's position in one go and then divide and kill them in one battle. But unexpectedly, the Zuowuwei was extremely tenacious, and the morale of the whole army was like a rainbow. He was so powerful that he defended the entire position impregnably. Even though the right Xiaowei launched wave after wave of tidal attacks, he still remained unmoved.
An Yuanshou rode his horse to fight bravely on the outside of the enemy's array and took the lead. The Xiliang warriors who had followed him for many years also fought bravely and were good at fighting. However, they were still unable to break through the enemy's outer defense line.
If the outer defense line cannot be broken down, the enemy's central army cannot be shaken, and victory will naturally be out of the question.
On the contrary, if progress cannot be made for a long time, there will be a backlash. As the saying goes, "one vigorous effort, then it will weaken, and three times it will be exhausted." Once the right Xiaowei's vigorous energy is smashed in front of the enemy's tight array, it will be bloody. Once it leaks, the enemy will counterattack and inflict an unforgettable heavy blow to You Xiaowei.
Therefore, An Yuanshou, who had always been unruly and did not take the heroes of the world in his eyes, was a little anxious. He cut an enemy captain who tried to sneak attack him from the left wing into two pieces with a knife. He wiped the rain from his face, and a soldier behind him The cavalry squeezed in from the chaotic army and shouted: "Commander Qi, Liu Keman has arrived on the north bank of the Weishui River."
An Yuanshou shouted and asked: "Now that we have arrived, why didn't we cross the river to help?"
The soldiers naturally didn't know: "The specific situation is unknown, but the two armies are making fire and cooking on the north bank. They are probably doing some repairs after eating before coming for reinforcements."
"Mother!"
An Yuanshou cursed angrily. He led his army to march a long way from Xiliang. He marched quickly without any repairs. When he arrived at Xianyang Bridge, he immediately entered the battle without stopping, striving to defeat the enemy in one blow. The whole army had no idea at all. Eat, and now you are fighting life and death here, but those two guys are so unhurried?
Although he has an unruly temperament, he is not a fool. He knows that he now relies on Li Huaiqin and Liu Keman. Without the support of these two armies, not only will he not be able to defeat Zuo Wuwei and open up the road to Chang'an from Xianyang Bridge, he may even suffer a blow. A big defeat...
Therefore, he could only endure his anger and ordered: "Go immediately to urge them to raise troops to cross the river immediately!"
"Here!"
After receiving the order, the soldiers quickly turned their horses and ran back, walking on the pontoon bridge back to the north bank, and conveyed An Yuanshou's order to Li and Liu who were drinking porridge under the awning.
Liu Keman drank the porridge without saying anything, but Li Huaiqin put his rice bowl on the wooden table with a bang and said angrily: "I am the king of the Tang Dynasty, why does An Yuanshou order me? Besides, I have reminded you to be fully prepared before attacking. , but he refused to listen. Now that he knew that Zuo Wuwei was a tough nut to crack, he remembered that my king was coming? Go and tell him that my army will cross the river for reinforcements when they are well fed and ready. Before that, Let him stop talking!”
The soldiers were trusted by An Yuanshou. They all followed An Yuanshou's surly temper and unruly temper. They were furious when they heard the words, but they did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Li Huaiqin. They could only glare hatefully, turned around and mounted their horses again. Return to the south bank of the Wei River to report to An Yuanshou.
An Yuanshou knew that Li Huaiqin was retaliating for his disrespect to him just now. Although his anger rose in his heart, he was also afraid of what if the two men simply turned around and returned to their original base and gave up the attack on Chang'an.
He had no choice but to swallow his anger and led his army to continue to attack Zuowuwei's position, causing heavy casualties among his soldiers.
On the north bank, Li and Liu had enough to eat and drink. The latter burped and asked, "Do you think the prince can send troops?"
Li Huaiqin raised his head and looked at the dark sky. The rain seemed to be pouring, but instead of stopping, it was getting heavier and heavier. He estimated that it was almost dawn, nodded and said: "Give the order, our two armies will cross the Wei River, one on the left and the other on the right." .”
"Here!"
Liu Keman stood up and saluted, put on his raincoat and rode back to the main formation. Soon the sound of drums and drums resounded throughout the heavy rain. The two armies crossed the Wei River side by side along the pontoon bridge, heading towards the front not far from the shore. The battle formation advances.
When the battle was about to enter the fierce battlefield, the two armies suddenly turned, one from the left and the other from the right, diagonally crossing the battlefield...
An Yuanshou fought bravely with his horse and sword, and the enemy's blood stained his armor red. After a while, it was washed away by the rain. Even with his murderous resume, he felt increasingly unsustainable. Rain battles can be improved. The excitement level of the human body bursts out with more powerful combat power than usual, but it will also cause the physical strength to decline rapidly, making it difficult to last long.
He had just slashed an enemy with his sword. Before he could take a step forward, three or five enemy troops rushed to fill the gap in front of him. Several ice blades were stabbing at him from various angles. With the help of his own soldiers, he finally managed to save his life. In the face of danger, I dodged a few cold arrows shot from nowhere, only to find that the hole that had just been torn from the enemy's position had been completely filled...
What should we do if we continue fighting like this?
An Yuanshou wanted to retreat, but now the two armies were only locked in one place. As long as he dared to retreat even half a step, the enemy would definitely take advantage of the situation to counterattack. By then, his own position would be in chaos, which might really lead to catastrophe defeat.
An Yuanshou was impatient and was about to send someone to the north bank to urge him. He heard a captain rushing towards him. When he got close, he loudly reported: "Commander Qi, Li and Liu have led their troops to cross the Wei River. Landing from the south bank ”
An Yuanshou glared and roared: "Then why haven't reinforcements come up yet?"
The captain shouted: "The two armies of Li and Liu were divided into two in our rear formation. One left and one right moved forward from the two wings. Now they are approaching both sides of the enemy's army."
An Yuanshou was determined and overjoyed: "Okay! My sons, the reinforcements have arrived on both sides of the enemy's army. They will immediately gather together to surround and annihilate the enemy's army. Let's penetrate the enemy's formation and capture Cheng Yaojin alive!"
"Crush through the enemy formation and capture Cheng Yaojin alive!"
There was a loud shout in the army, morale suddenly surged, and the offensive became fierce again.
However, after a stick of incense, this morale was almost exhausted, but it did not advance much, and the enemy array was well organized with no sign of being attacked on either flank...
"Where are the reinforcements now?" An Yuanshou shouted. If those two bastards didn't come again, he would be a little unable to bear it.
"Commander, Li and Liu have moved behind the enemy!"
An Yuanshou gritted his teeth and filled with anger: "Do these two losers still want to completely surround Zuo Wuwei and strangle them completely? Let them launch an attack quickly. Our goal is to defeat Zuo Wuwei, not to annihilate the enemy!"
I don’t know what these two guys are thinking. With the mob under their command, they actually dare to plan to annihilate Zuo Wuwei?
I simply don’t know how vast the sky is…
After half a stick of incense, there was still no sign of the enemy's position being attacked. On the contrary, the right Xiaowei's side was already a little unsustainable because its morale had been depleted again and again. The soldiers had traveled a long distance and failed to repair in time. They were already exhausted. Not only could they not After tearing apart the enemy's defense line, the enemy organized several counterattacks.
What's going on with these two bastards?
An Yuanshou was shocked and angry, and felt something was wrong.
A scout galloped over on horseback, with a panic that could not be concealed on his face. When he approached An Yuanshou, he even forgot to salute and shouted loudly on horseback: "Commander, something bad has happened! Li Huaiqin and Liu Keman have two armies." They have already passed through the enemy's rear formation and are not encircling them. Instead, they are rushing towards Chang'an on the left and right!"
An Yuanshou, who was carrying a horizontal sword on horseback, was stunned at first, thinking that he had heard wrong. Then he realized that his previous worries had come true. The two people used him as a scapegoat to haunt Cheng Yaojin, and they actually treated him like that. He abandoned it here, and then rushed to Chang'an to win the merit of Conglong...
"Wow! The thief mistaken me!"
An Yuanshou roared, his eyes were about to burst, and he was so angry that he almost spit out a mouthful of blood!
How can one be so shameless? ! (End of chapter)
