When the sound of war drums rang, Liu Xie was dozing against the saddle.
He didn't sleep all night and failed to achieve his expected goals. He was a little depressed. He was so sleepy that he wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Xiliang army had not yet attacked and seized time to make up for his sleep.
Wake up by the sound of war drums, he thought Li Ying had attacked.
I looked back and forth twice with my eyes open, but found that there was a calmness in front of the hillside and there was no sign of war at all.
After a while, he realized that the sound of war drums did not come from the front of the slope where he was waiting for battle, but from the northwest direction of the battlefield.
The northwest has become a pot of porridge, with smoke and dust rolling, and the shouts of killing are shaking the sky.
"Are you fighting?" Liu Xie was both surprised and happy.
Yang Xiu and Ding Chong were stretching their necks to watch the game, and they were also ecstatic, but they didn't notice that Liu Xie woke up. Hearing Liu Xie's voice, they responded without looking back: "Fight, fight."
After saying that, Ding Chong realized who the person was asking was. He looked back and bowed and bowed.
Yang Xiu also reacted and quickly apologized.
"Your Majesty, are you awake?"
"What's going on?" Liu Xie pointed to the distance, unable to believe his eyes.
"As His Majesty expected, Guo Si took the initiative to attack, Li Jue fought, both sides dispatched the most elite cavalry to fight to the death." Yang Xiu was so excited that he couldn't suppress himself, and he said loudly: "When two tigers fight, one will be injured, and may even be both injured if they lose.
.”
Liu Xie was also very happy, but he was not as optimistic as Yang Xiu, and he quickly calmed down.
"Is there any movement in Yang Ding?"
Ding Chong shook his head. "The news has not been received yet."
Liu Xie cursed secretly, Yang Ding, this bastard, is already noon and is still waiting and watching, so he doesn't want to send troops anymore.
Although it is understandable, he is still a little disappointed.
"Where are the others?"
"Nothing was happening." Ding Chong turned his head and looked at Dongfang. "Maybe Zhang Ji and Duan Wei distrust each other, so they could only be in a stalemate."
Liu Xie's head was even more troublesome.
This is a huge waste.
If Duan Wei and Zhang Ji attack Li Jue together, his troops would exceed Li Jue, which would be enough to tear Li Jue to pieces.
But they were guarding each other, and these forces became decorations.
Guo Si's troops alone are not enough to defeat Li Jue, and Yang Ding may not be enough.
Liu Xieluo thought about it, then led his men to the front and found Yang Feng.
"General, prepare to attack immediately."
Yang Feng smiled. "Your Majesty, I'm ready, there are 87 horses in total, and I'm always on standby."
Liu Xie looked at Yang Feng in confusion. "I cannot just say cavalry, infantry must also fight. Guo Si only has 10,000 people, and Li Jue has a clear advantage in military strength. If he cannot hold back Li Ying, Li Li, and Guo Si
Will lose."
"Your Majesty, isn't this just right? Li Jue coerces the chariot, and it is certainly guilty. Guo Si has also kidnapped the ministers and the crime is unforgivable. He fought with Li Jue, both of whom were injured, and even killed by Li Jue, which is worthy of the crime.
”
Liu Xie frowned. "What if Li Jue defeated Guo Si and annexed his subordinates?"
Yang Feng looked embarrassed, but he had no intention of retreating.
"Your Majesty, I am not brave enough to resist the imperial edict. If I were your Majesty, I would go through fire and water and I would not refuse. It is really not worth it to save Guo Si. Furthermore, my subordinates are limited, I have more than enough guarding the formation, and I am afraid I am not enough to fight the formation...
ah."
Liu Xie did not persuade him again.
Rotten wood cannot be carved, and mud cannot be supported on the wall!
He knew what Yang Feng was thinking, and he also knew that persistence was meaningless.
Wanting to take away command from Yang Feng will only arouse Yang Feng's resistance.
Liu Xie changed his mind. "The general is polite, I feel no comfort. Li Ying will give it to the general, and I will go to the Central Army to watch the battle."
When the emperor heard that he was not angry, but praised himself, Yang Feng was happy and nodded repeatedly.
Liu Xie was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he rushed to the central army with Yang Xiu, Guo Wu and others.
Seeing more than 100 cavalry following Liu Xie, Yang Feng realized a problem: from now on, he could only defend according to the formation.
Without the support of Guo Wu and others, especially without the assault of warriors like Guo Wu, not to mention his more than 80 cavalry, even if he counts all those who can ride horses, it is not enough to attack Li Ying's position. Go out and go back. Don't come.
——
Liu Xie rushed to Shi Sun Rui's position in a hurry.
Shi Sun Rui was also watching the battle with a serious expression.
Seeing Liu Xie rushing him, he strode forward, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am going to send someone to ask for an imperial edict."
"What is the matter with Wei Wei? Is there anything I need to ask for an imperial edict?"
"Please command your Majesty."
"Me?" Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, very surprised.
"Li Jue and Guo Si fought fiercely and were entangled. This is a great opportunity for me to attack, but the central army cannot be left alone. I want to ask Your Majesty to take the center to command, and I will lead the guards and infantry battalions to attack."
Liu Xie looked up and took a look.
There was smoke and dust on the battlefield, but in fact, I couldn't see anything clearly.
But there is no doubt that the battle is fierce.
At this moment, Shi Sun Rui's eyes were so old, and his courage and courage were not comparable to Yang Feng.
Liu Xie wanted to agree to Shi Sun Rui's request, but when he said something, he swallowed it back.
It is understandable that Shi Sun Rui wants to send people to the war, but it is not necessary to take action to kill people in person.
He had no experience in commanding the battle. Shi Sun Rui gave him command at this time. How could he know it was not a temptation?
"The courage of Wei Weiwei is commendable, but it is just a tactic of changing generals in the battle. Weiwei should stay in the central army and send others to attack." Liu Xie looked ahead and said, "For example, Wei Jie, the infantry captain, will attack in the battle very much. If you have a structure, you can take on a great responsibility.”
Shi Sun Rui shook his head. "What Your Majesty said is not without reason. But this battle is not only about victory or defeat, but also about survival and death. We must do our best. I am trusted by Your Majesty and I am willing to die in the country and be worthy of my life."
Before Liu Xie could speak again, Shi Sun Rui bowed and bowed again.
"Military situation is urgent, Guo Si may be defeated at any time. Please do not refuse, as it delays the opportunity. Most of the people who can fight will take away, and the rest will be enough to defend themselves. Please be sure to persevere and retreat to Houpo if necessary. , never fight in a hurry."
After saying that, he turned to look at Wang Fu, the captain of Yueqi who was rushing over, changed his face, and shouted sternly: "Wang Fu, I will leave your Majesty's safety to you. If there is any mistake, you will only ask."
Wang Fu was startled and quickly bowed to accept the order. "Don't worry, Wei Wei, but with my anger, I will protect Your Majesty from being safe."
Shi Sun Rui's head was slightly raised. "Your Majesty, take care of me, I'm gone."
Liu Xie looked at Shi Sun Rui carefully, feeling that he was not a fake, and said with a sigh: "Take a good careless person."
Shi Sun Rui bowed and bowed again, took the helmet from his personal guard, and turned over the horse.
"Beat the drum!"
The drummer waved the drum and beat the cowhide drum hard. Amid the powerful fighting drum, Shi Sun Rui kicked the horse out of the battle, raised his sword and whistled.
The soldiers shouted in unison, and more than ten songs were divided into four directions, passing through the positions between the songs, moving forward in a row, and gathering beside Shi Sun Rui.
On the other side, the infantry captain Wei Jie also changed the formation. More than 700 infantrymen were divided into two formations. Sima Xu Huang was in front and Wei Jie himself was behind, beating drums, blowing trumpets, and walking towards the battlefield.
The shooting camp changed its formation and was listed as a horizontal formation in front of Liu Xie.
Ju Jun turned his back to Liu Xie, stood with a knife, as majestic as a pine tree.
