Horse on the World

Chapter 569
The battle for the western front of Yizhou's core defense circle reached a fever pitch within a few days. The defense line of the bastion was in jeopardy, and many points were breached by the opponent. At this time, Li Huaiyuan tried his best to resist all the opinions, and the interconnected bunker improved on the basis of the Dingzhou bastion finally played an important role. A breakthrough was formed at one point. In a very short period of time, the Yizhou Army could mobilize heavy troops through the underground passage, form a force advantage at the point of breakthrough, and expel the incoming Minzhou soldiers.

Zhang Aimin's crazy and realistic offensive, and the illusion created by the blood of soldiers, finally succeeded in confusing Li Sizhi. Now he believes that Zhang Aimin is indeed determined to break through the core protective circle of Yizhou before the Guowang Group forms a siege on him, so that Ignoring Zhang Aimin's love, Zhang Ai has quietly withdrawn from the offensive sequence.

"He's crazy!" Li Sizhi said bitterly. Zhang Aimin's desperate attack put huge pressure on Yizhou's defense line. The loss of troops was huge, and many bastions were seriously damaged. Li Sizhi had to transfer the reserve team to the front line for a while. Relieve the pressure of insufficient troops on the front line.

After two days of continuous attack, the Minzhou soldiers finally stopped their attack, and the whole army retreated more than ten miles, which made Li Sizhi finally take a breath.It was able to slow down to reorganize the disabled army and repair the bastion.

At this time, in Zhang Aimin's camp, Zhang Aimin recruited all the generals under his command.

"Everyone, tomorrow we will start to evacuate in batches!" Zhang Aimin said. "The sequence of retreat is as follows!" Zhang Aimin waved his hand, and the Chinese military officer began to read the order aloud.

The voice of the middle officer was still lingering in the tent, and Ouyang Jianqiang, the commander of the imperial forest army, had already jumped up, "General Zhang, I don't understand, why are we evacuating last?"

Zhang Aimin smiled slightly, "You are not the last to evacuate, because I will be with you."

"General Zhang, I think the strength of our Yulin Army lies in attacking the fortresses, not breaking the rear!" Ouyang Jian said forcefully.This time, in Zhang Aimin's withdrawal sequence, all the Minzhou troops were ahead of the Yulin Army. Although Zhang Aimin decided to stay behind, Ouyang Jianqiang was still unhappy. During the retreat, the troops behind were the most dangerous, and their morale was not high when they retreated. He also has to deal with the pursuit from himself. If he is not comfortable with it, he will be defeated and die. As the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, Ouyang Jianqiang naturally knows the weaknesses of his subordinates. When facing a strong army once, it showed the characteristics of not being strong when encountering strong ones, and lacked the courage to fight to the death in the cruel tug-of-war. This is not as good as even Minzhou soldiers.

Zhang Aimin knocked on the table, "General Ouyang, I believe that our strong attack in the past few days has successfully caused the opponent to misjudge, and this can be seen from the deployment of the opponent's troops. They have already drawn up the reserve team. The only thing they haven't fought yet is their cavalry. Our sudden retreat will confuse the opponent for a short time, but this time will not be too long. After all, Li Sizhi is also an experienced veteran. Once he understands, he will not hesitate At this time, the troops he is pursuing must be Li Feng's Yizhou battalion mobilized from the Eastern Front."

Zhang Aimin paused, "I think everyone knows the enemy's situation very well. Li Feng's Yizhou battalion has been honed for a long time in the grass battalion. His soldiers' riding skills, tactics, and willpower are in the same line as Dingzhou soldiers. They are the best in Dingzhou. Strong combat power, if we can't put our most powerful Imperial Forest Army behind them to guard against them, once they catch up with Minzhou infantry, it will become a massacre. General Ouyang, didn't you always say that you want to fight with Dingzhou Does the Changsheng Camp and the Cyclone Camp compete with each other? If you don’t even have the confidence to defeat Li Feng’s Yizhou Camp, then when you encounter the Changsheng Camp and the Cyclone Camp in the future, you should hide as far away as possible. In terms of combat effectiveness, The Yizhou Camp is only qualified to be the students of the Changsheng Camp and the Whirlwind Camp."

Ouyang Jianqiang saw Zhang Aimin's push, and immediately blushed, "Li Feng boy, what is it, okay, I'll come and kill it, I want to see how powerful their Dingzhou soldiers are! He is only in the Yizhou camp. There are only [-] cavalry, and I have more than [-] men under my command, let them see how powerful the emperor's personal army is!"

"Okay!" Zhang Aimin applauded vigorously, "General Ouyang is very brave, so it's settled like this. Tomorrow, I will personally command the army to launch an attack again. The rest of the troops will retreat in sequence. The troops that will not leave tomorrow must prepare to launch another attack. The troops that go first will buy time, and the Imperial Forest Army will start tomorrow and recharge their batteries."

"The last general obeys the order!" All the generals stood up abruptly, clasping their fists in obedience.

Seeing all the people walking out of the big tent, the relaxed look on Zhang Aimin's face began to disappear. At this time, the generals still don't know that this time the retreat route is to go to Dacang Mountain. If they know it now, don't they? And now such high-spirited.

"Zhang Yue, we can't tell the generals that we are going to Gufu until we turn around!" Zhang Aimin ordered.

When it was daylight, Li Sizhi hadn't got up from the bed yet. Yesterday, he toured all the bastions, boosted morale, and condoled the wounded. He didn't come back tired until four o'clock in the morning. He scalded his feet comfortably, climbed into bed and just fell asleep. He was awakened by the shocking shouts and jumped up from the bed. Li Sizhi ran out of the door with bare feet, stepping on the cold stone slabs. , The flames were bright, and countless Minzhou soldiers were pushing Mengchong chariots, chariots, ladders, and nest carts, holding shields, holding knives and guns, flocking to the defense line wave after wave.

Inside the bastion, rain of arrows shot out. Behind the mausoleum, the trebuchet was throwing stone bombs out, and the Minzhou soldiers launched a fierce attack again.

"You bastard, Zhang Aimin, you are simply an unreasonable lunatic!" Li Sizhi yelled, his face suddenly felt cold, and he reached out to touch it, but it was a little rain. The snowflakes in the sky turned out to be snowing again.

The guards chased him up with his shoes, and Li Sizhi sat on the ground without poise, and put on cotton socks, which were produced in Dingzhou, and they were indeed very warm.After putting on his shoes and armor under the service of his own soldiers, Li Sizhi raised his spear and said, "Come on, let's go ahead and have a look!"

When Li Sizhi rushed to the front line, the front line just repelled the enemy's first attack. Li Zheng, covered in blood, greeted him with a bloody steel knife, "Father!" Seeing Li Sizhi's concerned eyes, Li Zheng smiled. Said: "It's nothing, most of it is the blood of the enemy. I just led a local counterattack and cut off a dozen heads with my own hands, and suffered a little skin trauma."

Li Sizhi nodded, "Well, that's right. Defense is the worst thing to do. If conditions permit, you can play some short, flat and fast assaults, which is very good for boosting morale. Zhenger, you have made progress!"

Li Zheng chuckled, "Father, I feel that the intensity of the Minzhou soldiers' attack has been lowered compared to the previous few days. It looks fierce, but it did not pose a great threat to us, unlike the previous few days. God, every step is startling, like walking on thin ice!"

"At one stroke, we will fail again and again, and we will be exhausted three times. Regardless of the approaching strong enemy behind us, Zhang Aimin tried to penetrate our defense line, but was blocked again and again. It is an indisputable fact that the soldiers were defeated. Now he is at the end of his strength and cannot penetrate Lu Jin. I see, if you return without success today, Zhang Aimin will run away!" Li Sizhi smiled while twisting his beard, the most dangerous time was over.

"Father, you said that Zhang Aimin was about to run into the Wang Group head-on when he ran back, so it's a dead end!" Li Zheng sneered.

"The two groups of Guowang are now relatively separated, and there is a relatively large room for strategic maneuvering between them. If Zhang Aimin can break through the cavalry intercepted by Guoshanfeng in Quanzhou, then he still has a great chance to lead a remnant army to escape. Yes, how much he can escape depends on his ability."

The drum sounded again, Li Sizhi climbed to the top of the bastion and looked into the distance. A few miles away, Zhang Aimin's Central Army flag was flying high. From this side, even though they were several miles away, the two could still feel each other's hot eyes.

Li Sizhi saw that under the banner, Zhang Aimin pulled out his waist, raised it high, and then dropped it violently, opening and closing his mouth, as if shouting something, he couldn't help sneering: "The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, what can I do?"

Minzhou soldiers rushed up again, but the snow in the world was getting bigger and bigger, densely, and with the wind, it moved eastward and westward. , there was no one to be seen, only the mountain of shouts still came.

In the midst of the heavy snow, the offensive of the Minzhou soldiers finally became weaker and weaker. When the sky was bright, the last wave of the Minzhou soldiers finally retreated helplessly. Under the bastions, the abandoned chariots Chariots, siege vehicles, and ladders are countless. The soldiers who died in battle were lying or lying down, some were pierced by long arrows, some were nailed to the ground with spears thrown, and some were smashed into shape by stones. , some were suppressed by the Leimu, and the worst were some seriously injured soldiers, lying in the snow, but they couldn't die for a while, wailing loudly.

Half an hour after the Minzhou soldiers retreated, a group of Yizhou soldiers rushed out of the bastion, wielding spears and swords, killed the wounded soldiers one by one, and then began to clean the battlefield.

But at this time, in Zhang Aimin's camp, Zhang Aimin was excitedly looking at the heavy snow all over the sky, and said excitedly: "Okay, okay, God help me, this heavy snow came well, we retreated early, this snow can be okay Help us lie to each other for a while longer, come and send orders, let's go, leave this big camp to Li Sizhi!"
