Liu Xie was stunned when he saw the infantry battalion taking the initiative to fight with the knights of the Flying Bear Army from across Shisun Rui's position.
He knew that Shisun Rui wanted to gamble with his life, but he didn't know that Shisun Rui was such a gambler that he actually let the infantry intercept the cavalry's retreat.
What frightened him even more was that Wei Jie took the initiative and not only exposed Shi Sunrui's left wing, but also his left wing.
If dozens of cavalry come from the left wing...
Only then did he truly understand what Shi Sunrui meant.
This is a real gamble, not only the life of Shi Sunrui is bet, but also his life is bet.
Old man, you are cruel!
Liu Xie secretly cursed, but he had nothing to do. At this moment, there was no way to retreat, so he could only bite the bullet and go forward.
"Wang Chang, you take ten people to protect the Wei infantry. You must protect him thoroughly."
When two armies are fighting, the general is the focus of the other side's attention. Once the general is killed, morale will be severely damaged, and the troops without command will soon collapse into disarray.
Wang Chang did not hesitate, jumped on his horse, and galloped away with ten ministers.
The minister is both on foot and on horseback. He is a tiger warrior when dismounting, and Yu Lin when he mounts a horse.
Unfortunately, Guo Wu and Xu Huang are not here, so the team can only be led by the slightly weaker Wang Chang.
Wang Yue did not dare to be careless and winked at Shi A. The master and apprentice were on the left and right, holding a long sword in one hand and a shield in the other, ready to block Liu Xie's arrows at any time. Most of the others were lined up in front of Liu Xie on the left
Formation, ready to face enemies that may appear at any time.
Liu Xie also drew his long sword and was ready to fight tooth and nail.
He looked at Wei Jie who was charging for a while, at the soldier Sun Rui in front of him, and then took a moment to look at Yang Feng's camp in the distance.
Just a few hundred steps away, Hu Feng led two thousand infantry in formation to guard against Yang Feng and Yang Ding.
If Hu Feng came to kill him at this time, he would have no choice but to go into battle and kill as many people as he could.
Receiving reinforcements from Wang Chang and others, Wei Jie fought against the intercepting cavalry while tenaciously wedged himself into Li Shi's back.
The battlefield was in chaos, and Liu Xie couldn't see anyone clearly. He could only rely on the position of the battle flags and the sound of the war drums to judge that at least Wei Jie was still alive, still fighting, and still attacking.
Shi Sunrui was mobilizing troops to strengthen his position, trying his best to hold off Li Shi, waiting for Wei Jie to encircle him.
The arrows fired by the shooting battalion on the right wing gradually became thinner and less powerful than before, and only Ju Jun's shouts and curses could be faintly heard.
Liu Xie discovered for the first time that Ju Jun was also very vulgar and obscene when he cursed people, no different from ordinary soldiers in the camp who couldn't read a single word.
Farther away, there was silence, no sound at all.
——
Hu Feng turned around and looked into the distance, doubtful in his heart.
The drums sounded for too long, more than he expected.
In his opinion, Li Shi could only break the formation three times at most. If he still couldn't break the formation three times, he would have no choice but to give up even if he was not convinced.
First, the horses could not sustain a long run, and second, Li Shi could not control his arrogant and powerful generals.
If we can work together to defeat Shisun Rui's position, everyone will naturally be happy.
If we fail in three battles, no one will be willing to listen to Li Shi's orders.
However, the sound of the war drums lasted longer than the third formation, and it sounded like there was no third formation, or the second formation and the third formation were so well coordinated that they could not be distinguished.
When Hu Feng was confused, a cavalryman rushed over and reported a piece of news that surprised and delighted Hu Feng.
Li Shi was trapped by Shi Sun Rui, and Wei Jie on the left wing was attacking in an attempt to cut off Li Shi's retreat.
While sweating for Li Shi, Hu Feng realized that he might be facing a rare opportunity.
When Wei Jie attacked, Shi Sunrui's left wing was empty, and neither he nor the emperor behind him had enough troops to protect him.
Especially the emperor.
Hu Feng hesitated.
The chance is good, but he has too few cavalry, only about a hundred personal guard cavalry, so there is no guarantee of victory when used for a surprise attack.
If infantry and cavalry coordinate the attack, Li Shi's right wing will be exposed. Once Yang Feng sees an opportunity and attacks suddenly, Li Shi will not even have time to react.
Moreover, if the cavalry attack is not fast enough, it may not be able to catch the emperor.
Before Hu Feng could make a decision, the sound of war drums suddenly sounded from Yang Feng's camp opposite, the camp door opened wide, and a group of infantry rushed out of the camp.
Hu Feng secretly cried out that it was a pity and did not bother to take advantage of it. He ordered to prepare for battle and at the same time sent someone to notify Li Shi. Yang Feng attacked. If Shisun Rui's position could not be defeated in time, he would withdraw from the battlefield immediately.
The two knights took the order and galloped away.
Hu Feng galloped lightly on his horse. Surrounded by his guards, he came down to the front of the formation. He was surprised to find dozens of carts coming out of Yang Feng's camp. Each cart was filled with bulging sacks.
Under the protection of the cavalry, we headed southwest quickly.
Hu Feng suddenly realized that Yang Feng's departure from the camp might not be to reinforce Sun Rui, but to deliver food to Yang Ding.
But he immediately rejected his judgment.
How can this be?
The emperor was in danger, and Yang Feng refused to go to reinforce him, but he was busy sending food to Yang Ding, a native of Xiliang?
This must be a ruse. What's inside is not food, but soil.
After weighing the pros and cons, Hu Feng decided to stand still.
——
Yang Feng stood up and looked at the battlefield in the distance without saying a word.
The scene before him was somewhat beyond his expectation.
Hu Feng was within sight, but he neither came to intercept nor retreated. Instead, he stood in position and remained vigilant.
Behind Hu Feng, the drums were rumbling, the shouts of killing were loud, and the smoke and dust were stirred up into the sky. One can imagine how fierce the battle was.
But he knew better that the emperor's imperial camp only had so many troops. To be able to fight like this, he must have tried his best.
He felt that the emperor was a little stupid.
Is it worth it for Yang Ding?
But he also admired the emperor's stupidity.
If the emperor can keep his promise to Yang Ding, a native of Xiliang, he should not make empty promises to me.
If you follow him, you may be able to honor your ancestors and even realize the peaceful and prosperous age that the great sages and teachers failed to achieve.
Yang Feng thought as he sent out a ranger to inquire about the news and moved forward cautiously.
Li Shi was in a fierce battle with the emperor, so he probably wouldn't have many troops for reconnaissance.
After all, their goal is to capture the emperor, not Yang Ding. Li Shi's troops are also limited, and he can only succeed if he goes all out.
The yangqi quickly sent back the news. Except for the yangqi who provided warning, no other people were seen within the range of more than ten miles ahead. Not only did they not see Li Shi, Hu Feng's subordinates, but they also didn't see Guo Si's subordinates.
Yang Feng quickly understood the reason. Guo Bang was either blocked from view by Li Shi, or he didn't want to cause trouble, so he probably didn't know that he was delivering food to Yang Ding.
Yang Feng's heart moved slightly, and he realized that his opportunity had come.
Since there is no one to stop them, there is no danger in delivering food, so why use the main force to deliver food?
The Hu Feng in front of me is a walking warrior.
Yang Feng thought for a moment and then made a decision. While he ordered people to notify Yang Ding to prepare for the delivery of food, he also withdrew most of the troops delivering food to prepare to attack Hu Feng and gain an easy victory.
