Han ride

Chapter 374 Melee ([-])

Li Xin was stunned when he heard the words. He is extremely brave now, so when he fights, he always charges forward. Naturally, his soldiers also fight the enemy bravely. It has to be said that Li Xin's achievements today have a lot to do with his bravery. relation.

However, in the eyes of Shi Yuanzhi and other civil officials, Li Xin's move is not a qualified leader. If Li Xin is an ordinary general, it is naturally possible to do so. It is a pity that Li Xin is the commander-in-chief with countless elite soldiers and generals. He is the master of millions of people. His existence is mostly a symbolic meaning now, but this symbolic meaning is also extremely important, especially now that Li Xin's flesh and blood have not yet been born. Once something happens to Li Xin, the entire Northern Expedition Army immediately It will fall apart, even if there is a son, there is no prestige at all, in Li Xin's new regime, how can it hold down the arrogant soldiers below.So nothing happened to Li Xin.

"Hey! Thank you for reminding me, sir." Li Xin thought for a while, and finally he could only nod his head. Only people like Shi Yuanzhi can say such things now. As Li Xin's territory grows bigger and bigger Even Jiang Yi and Yang Xiong, who have been with Li Xin for a long time, dare not overstep at will, and their attitude is much more respectful.

"This is what subordinates should do." Shi Yuanzhi also heaved a sigh of relief.Li Xin has the courage to overlord, but Shi Yuanzhi is worried that Li Xin has the temperament of overlord. This is simply a disaster for the entire Beibei army.On weekdays, Jiang Yi and the others dared not persuade him, but Shi Yuanzhi only spoke out today because of a lot of ties.

"Report, my lord, Jiannu has invaded the camp, and Hong Chengchou and others are struggling to resist." At this time, the spies flew over and said loudly.

"Have you entered the camp so quickly?" Li Xin and Shi Yuanzhi looked at each other. The two of them let Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng go back, just to let them go back and quickly rectify the troops, and then the two would attack each other and wipe out Jian Jian in one fell swoop. Nu, what I didn't expect was that Jian Nu had already invaded Hong Chengchou's camp.

"Is this court army too useless?" Shi Yuan thought for a while, and finally said.The imperial court's 20 troops couldn't stop Jiannu, and it was even when they knew in advance that Jiannu would attack at night.

"How many troops did Jiannu dispatch?" Li Xin suddenly opened his eyes and asked.

"Countless." The spies thought for a while and said, "First the slaves were pioneered by the common people, and then the cavalry were the last. Now the whole camp is full of slave builders. I don't know how many there are." Yes, where can I see clearly, the torches all over the mountains and plains have increased the army of slaves a lot.

"If this is the case, Huang Taiji is indeed a treacherous person with the common people as the forerunner. Hong Chengchou probably restrained his hands and feet because he was afraid of being impeached by the court's censors." Shi Yuanzhi shook his head and said while stroking his beard.This situation is the same as what Li Xin and others thought at the beginning. Jiannu may also use this method to attack Xifengkou, but Li Xin thought of some ways to reduce losses. Unfortunately, Jiannu is now targeting It was Hong Chengchou's big camp. In a hurry, even if Hong Chengchou had great skills, he could not kill so many people.

"Let's go! If we don't attack again, maybe Hong Chengchou's camp will be lost. Once the hundreds of thousands of troops are lost, the imperial court may really have no troops to deal with Gao Yingxiang and others." Li Xin shook his head.In Li Xinxin's mind, the imperial court still needs to help him delay for a while, and it is best for him to enter the Central Plains in a legitimate way.Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng and others can't perish, and they must help him drag out the court's troops.

Right now, the 20 army under Hong Chengchou's command can be said to be the existing elite troops of the imperial court. If they were all beheaded by Jiannu here, it would be against Li Xin's original intention.Not daring to be negligent at the moment, he quickly led the cavalry to kill him.

But at this moment, in Hong Chengchou's camp, the battle has reached the most critical time. The simple thing is that Hong Chengchou's army is very strict. Even the guest army of Zuo Liangyu and others is under Hong Chengchou's control. The generals of the Ming army have not been like in the future, and the imperial edict of the imperial court is of no use to them. At this time, the imperial court is still very majestic, and Zuo Liangyu and others dare not escape.Leading the army is fighting bravely.

On the battlefield, Hong Chengchou's face was gloomy, and there were a thousand cavalry beside him. These were his old foundations, and they were also the root cause of his deadly confrontation with Gao Yingxiang and others.If it was during the day, Hong Chengchou would not have to worry, but at night, Hong Chengchou felt that the situation on the battlefield was out of his control, and now he was supported by troops in all directions. In the eyes of the naked eye, the banners of generals such as Lu Xiangsheng and Qin Liangyu You can still see it, but other places are invisible to the naked eye, so Hong Chengchou doesn't know.

More importantly, no matter whether it was Qin Liangyu or Lu Xiangsheng, although their troops were elite, their numbers were small, and they had a bit of status in the imperial court, but they were far inferior in front of Jiannu.Therefore, when the army attacked, it was the imperial army that suffered heavy casualties in the end. Fortunately, the 20 army was constantly thrown into the battlefield by Hong Chengchou, so that the defense line could barely be maintained. The Ming army has always fought with the wind. If it is a tough battle, I am afraid it will have to rely on Guan Ning's cavalry, or the thousand elites under his command.

"General, General Qin may not be able to hold on anymore." At this time, a sharp-eyed soldier pointed to Qin Liangyu in the distance.

Hong Chengchou looked over, and sure enough, he saw Qin Liangyu surrounded by four or five slave-building soldiers, and the soldiers around her were obviously dead.Don't look at the long spear in Qin Liangyu's hand dancing so that the wind and rain can't get in, but Qin Liangyu is old after all, and I'm afraid he can't hold it for a long time.

Hong Chengchou sighed, and slowly drew out the sword from his waist.He was going to play by himself, he knew that if even Qin Liangyu couldn't support it, it meant that the defense line couldn't support it anymore.

However, at this moment, there were bursts of shouts of killing in the distance, the sound was deafening, resounding through the sky, and in the dark night, the chaos in the camp was actually covered up.

"Zhengbei, invincible."

Hong Chengchou's eyes gradually widened, and at the end he burst out laughing, and said to the soldiers beside him, "The Zhengbei Army is here, and Li Xin is here. Hurry up, beat the drums, and put the whole army on it."

"The Beibei Army is here. Our reinforcements are here." After hearing this, the soldiers around him also showed joy on their faces, and roared loudly. The Beibei Army has always been a legendary existence among the various armies of the imperial court. It is said that Li Xin is a wolf with ambition, but he has to admit that Li Xin's army is extremely powerful. Even the Guan Ning Iron Cavalry, who is known as the number one army in the world, may not dare to compete with the Zhengbei Army. I can see it.

The defense line of the Ming army, which was about to collapse, became stronger and stronger, and the faces of these soldiers were flushed. This was not only because of Li Xin's arrival, but more importantly, with the attack from both sides, this war would definitely be won. .That's why these soldiers will fight the enemy bravely.

"It's a pity." Yue Tuo, who was commanding the battle, obviously noticed all of this, and his face suddenly showed regret. If Li Xin stayed at night for a while, Yue Tuo would be able to completely break through the camp of the Ming army. At that time, Yue Tuo Perhaps Tuo still had a chance to retreat to Xifengkou. At that time, Xifengkou might have fallen into Huang Taiji's hands, and Yue Tuo might be able to take this opportunity to escape with his life.Unfortunately, there is no chance now.

"Reorganize the army, attack Li Xin, and drag Li Xin here." Yue Tuo suddenly thought of something, and said to the servants beside him: "Tenggri, you lead an army of 2000 people, and you will continue to attack the Ming army until the last person , you may do it, you must wait for me for an hour, remember?"

"Master, don't worry, the slave will definitely fight for an hour for the master, master, Li Xin is here, you should go quickly!" Tenge said loudly without fear.

"Let's go? Where are you going?" Yue Tuo said with a smirk on his face, "We came this time to hold Li Xin back for the emperor. Once Li Xin's army returns to the entrance of Fangxi Peak, I'm afraid the emperor will come back." We will lose Shengjing." Yue Tuo didn't know that this was a mortal situation, but he was still not afraid.

"Master, why don't I go to attack Li Xin, hold Li Xin back, and master attack the Ming army's camp. These Ming soldiers are useless people. Master is brave. Maybe I can break through the opponent's defense line!" Tengger said. After thinking about it, he said.

Yue Tuo thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Li Xin is treacherous, you are commanding an army, and Li Xin will easily find out, so let me do it!" Yue Tuo also wanted to escape with his life, but unfortunately, his opponent was Li Xin is not an ordinary person. Even he himself may not be able to use such a small army as a [-] slave army. Fortunately, it is night, and even with torches, it is difficult to distinguish too many troops.

"Go on an errand!" Yue Tuo stopped Tengger, who was still about to talk, and ordered to blow the conch horn, and saw countless Jiannu soldiers put down the enemy facing them, turned around and left. These cavalry were indeed powerful, with strict military discipline. The soldiers under Hong Chengchou's command were in stark contrast. The soldiers assembled very quickly, and more than 1 troops gathered around Yue Tuo at once. On the other hand, the Ming army who was fighting suddenly found that their opponent had disappeared without a trace. When he was surprised, he suddenly saw another cry, and another group of cavalry rushed into the army. The poor soldiers of the imperial court were about to rest for a while, but they were caught off guard when they saw elite cavalry coming again. Armed with weapons and fought the enemy.

"Jianu is really an elite." In the darkness, Li Xin couldn't tell how many soldiers were on the opposite side, only to find that there were cavalry blocking him in front of him, and behind these cavalry, there were still countless shouts of killing, thinking that Jianu The slaves have been divided.

"This is also a helpless move." Shi Yuanzhi also nodded and said: "Huang Taiji doesn't want to attack from both sides, so he can only divide his troops, but whether the other party can block the attack of the imperial guards is uncertain."

"Well, Huang Taiji is a little bit capable. Under such circumstances, he actually thought of attacking, but even if he defeated Hong Chengchou, wouldn't it be the same if he didn't win Xifengkou?" Li Xin shook his head and said, "Could it be that he still wants to attack?" Can you break through the 20 troops in front of you, and then capture the city of Beijing? Gao Meng, you can attack." Li Xin showed a trace of disdain on his face, obviously he thought that Huang Taiji's move was useless at all.

Shi Yuanzhi frowned, maybe he was thinking of something, but after listening to Li Xin's order, Gao Meng, who was on the sidelines, swung the sword in his hand, tens of thousands of imperial guards were like a landslide. Killed the past like a crack in the ground.These people followed Li Xin, were invincible, and fought countless wars. The Jiannu in front of them was caught in a double attack, and these people were even happier when they killed them.

"Li Xinbing is really cunning, he must have seen that I am not ready yet. However, even if you win the current battle, you will probably lose the other one." Yue Tuo looked at Zheng Bei who was rushing forward. Army, suddenly looked up to the sky and shouted: "For the sweat, attack." As he said that, he took the lead in holding on to the sword, and rushed towards the Northern Army without hesitation.

Soon the two cavalry collided, one cavalry was waiting for work, and the other was exhausted from fighting, but in this case, one wanted to make meritorious deeds, while the other wanted to save his life.The two collided with each other, and in an instant, the sound of shouting and killing was loud, and from time to time, one by one, black figures could be seen falling off their horses, and soon disappeared without a trace.

War is like this, Li Xin rides on the dark clouds and snows, and the dark clouds and snows seem to feel the tense situation in front of them, and they keep trampling on the horseshoes.Li Xin stroked the horse's head, calming Wu Yun Taxue.He knew that maybe from now on, if he wanted to charge forward, he might have no chance.

"Sir, how long do you think we can resolve the battle?" Li Xin lazily looked at the distant battlefield, and said to Shi Yuanzhi on the side.

It just made Li Xin wait for a long time, but he didn't find Shi Yuanzhi replying. He looked at the other party curiously, but found that Shi Yuanzhi was looking at the distant battlefield with a curious face, and there was a faint trace on his face. The color of thinking.Li Xin felt a little funny.

"Sir, what are you thinking?" Li Xin asked curiously.

"No, we were fooled." Shi Yuanzhi suddenly patted his thigh and exclaimed in surprise: "My lord, quickly, withdraw the army and return to Xifengkou."

"What's going on?" Li Xin frowned, Shi Yuanzhi has always been calm, no matter when it happened, he would not be in a hurry, let alone lose his composure, the current him is not the same as before.

"My lord, if this subordinate's guess is correct, the army in front of me is just a partial division of Jiannu. Maybe Huang Taiji will lead the army and attack Xifengkou with all his heart." Shi Yuan pulled his beard and said: "The army in front of us They are only used to lure us. My lord, look at their armors, they are nothing more than four styles of yellow, white, blue, and red, but they are not the Eight Banners. Where did the rest of the army go?"

As if to confirm Shi Yuanzhi's words, the sound of cannons suddenly came from afar.Li Xin and Shi Yuanzhi looked back, only to see flames bursting into the sky from the direction of Xifengkou, and the sound of cannons rumbled.Evidently a bitter battle was going on.

"What a Huang Taiji, what a slap in the face." Li Xin gritted his teeth and said with a gloomy face. This time, he was careless, and he underestimated Huang Taiji. He didn't expect Huang Taiji to use this trick to survive by cutting off his tail.You can hold yourself back with the troops in front of you, but the main force turns around and attacks Xifengkou.

"My lord, Xifengkou has a lot to do with it, so we can't let Huang Taiji escape." Shi Yuanzhi said nervously on the side.To be honest, the two of them have spent a lot of brain cells from Jiannu's sneak attack to the present to create the current situation. If Jianu escaped, it would be called a failure!

"Where is Zhao Guang?" Li Xin nodded, and quickly ordered someone to recruit Zhao Guang.On the other hand, he was rectifying the imperial guards, and had someone recruit Gao Meng and his personal guards.

"My lord." After a while, Zhao Guang rushed over with a silver spear in his hand, covered in blood.He has a stern face and a murderous look all over his body, and he doesn't know how many enemies died in his hands.

"Huang Taiji led the army to attack Xifengkou. I want to go back. I will leave the matter here to you. I will give you [-] soldiers and horses. Remember, I want to lead the soldiers' heads." Li Xin knew that since Huang Taiji was Wanting to break through the Xifeng Pass and return to the grassland means that there are not many soldiers and horses here.Fifteen thousand soldiers and horses left and the strength of the Ming army are enough to destroy Jiannu.

"My lord, why don't I go?" Zhao Guang was taken aback when he heard the words.

"No need." Li Xin waved his hand and said, "Jiannu soldiers and horses are attacking Xifengkou. I must go immediately. Although your martial arts are good, you are not as good as me in charge. Send a letter to Hong Chengchou and ask him to give me a hard time." Surround these Jian slaves. If one escapes, I will take his head."

After Li Xin said all this, he immediately turned his horse's head, and added some tall and fierce troops, after all, the elite of the elite. More than 1 troops were assembled in an instant, and the brigade headed north.

"My lord, Jiannu may have ambushed on the road, and his subordinates think that Huang Taiji is treacherous, so it won't be so simple." Seeing Li Xin's solemn expression, Shi Yuan couldn't help persuading him.

"Is this possible?" Li Xin suddenly looked at Shi Yuanzhi.At this time, Li Xin really didn't believe that Huang Taiji still had time to be here at this time, and that Huang Taiji still had time to ambush a man for himself?
"It's not impossible." Shi Yuan thought for a while, shook his head and said: "This matter is of great importance, maybe Huang Taiji will do this."

"Okay, let's be careful." Li Xin thought for a while, nodded and said.He immediately ordered the army to move slowly. Although he was very worried about the situation at Xifengkou, he also knew that if there was an army ambushing nearby, even if he went to rescue Xifengkou, once Jiannu really had an ambush, he would be able to move forward at a faster speed. Soon, he would fall into an ambush. At that time, if Xifengkou failed to rescue him, he might fall into the enemy's scheme.
