Although I know that people in this era are more emotional, whether it is men, women, old or young, it is normal to cry with joy or curse with anger.
Ding Chong was so excited, but it was a bit too much.
Could it be that he was abused by Guo Si and was emotionally unstable?
"Oh, You Yang is serious. It is the guards and the soldiers of the camps who are fighting in a bloody battle. I am just standing here, just standing here." Without waiting for Ding Chong to explain, Liu Xie went straight to the topic. "How did Guo Si react?
?Will he send troops?"
When it came to business, Ding Chong calmed down a lot. "He was in a dilemma and wanted to see Jia Xu." Ding Chong couldn't help but snorted: "These Liangzhou warriors all use Jia Xu as their mastermind. Whenever something happens, I just want to ask
Jia Xu’s suggestion. Your Majesty made Jia Xu your servant, which is really wise.”
After listening to Ding Chong's narration, Liu Xie breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Guo Si stands still, the possibility of a reversal of the situation is slim.
Yang Xiu and Guo Wuzheng came with Duan Xuan's thousand-step cavalry to assist Yang Feng and repel Hu Feng, which was expected. Li Shi was entangled by the soldier Sun Rui, and the Flying Bear Army was leaderless and unable to perform its duties.
With its impact, the only one who can affect the situation of the battle is Guo Si.
As for Yang Ding, even if he refused to help the court, he would not help Li Shi in the future.
Unless he's out of his mind.
Liu Xie ordered someone to convey the news to Shi Sunrui.
At this time, the sound of retreat horns was heard in the distance.
Immediately afterwards, the billowing smoke began to move northwest, and someone was leaving the battlefield.
Judging from the concentration and height of the smoke, a small number of cavalry were at the front, followed by about a thousand infantry.
If your guess is correct, it should be that after learning that Yang Xiu and Guo Wu were coming to help, Hu Feng had a mental breakdown and voluntarily left the battlefield.
After a while, the Flying Bear Army who was watching from a distance also blew the horn to retreat. The Flying Bear Army cavalry withdrew in twos and threes. Wei Jie, who had been fighting hard, could finally take a breath.
Liu Xie looked at Li Shi who was trapped in the position.
Li Shi's battle flag was still there, but he was surrounded by the battle flags of the Weiwei camp. Judging from the positions of the battle flags on both sides, the battle had entered the final stage. Without reinforcements, it was only a matter of time before Li Shi was crowned.
This time the bet was won.
At this time, a crisp sound of gongs sounded, which was particularly clear on the chaotic battlefield.
Liu Xie carefully identified it and determined that the sound of the gong came from Shi Sunrui's central army and not from other positions. He was immediately confused.
Is it too early for Ming Jin to withdraw his troops at this time?
Ding Chong was also stunned, with his mouth open and eyes wide open as he looked at the dispersing encirclement, unable to say a word.
——
Li Shi looked at the suddenly bright sky in front of him and was equally stunned.
All the knights of the Flying Bear Army around him have been killed, and only two personal guards are still fighting hard.
But they have reached the end of their strength and cannot hold on for long.
What happened and why did the enemy retreat?
Before Li Shi could react, the two guards had already followed their most instinctive reaction. They set up Li Shi, jumped on the empty-saddled horse, and galloped away as fast as they could.
The war horses galloped across the battlefield, and corpses passed by Li Shi one by one, including many knights of the Flying Bear Army.
Lying on his horse, Li Shi looked back at Shisun Rui's battle flag, and then at the emperor's banner further away. His chest felt tight, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
The Flying Bear Army suffered heavy losses, with at least one third of their casualties.
How will you explain to your father after you return?
Li Shi's mind went blank, and he seemed to be stupid.
The two personal guards couldn't care less. They protected Li Shi and ran all the way. They kept beating the war horse with their sabers along the way, squeezing the last potential of the war horse.
No matter what happened or what the reason was, regardless of whether it was an illusion or not, they escaped.
At this moment, their only thought was to stay as far away from the battlefield as possible.
They didn't even bother to consider what kind of reward they would get for rescuing Li Shi.
They ran very fast, even faster than many of Hu Feng's infantry who retreated early. Fortunately, they escaped Yang Ding's interception and caught up with a group of Flying Bear Army soldiers.
Seeing Li Shi, the officers and soldiers of the Flying Bear Army who retreated first were also surprised.
They thought that Li Shi would definitely die, so they were discussing how to report to Li Jue and put the responsibility on Li Shi. Little did they expect that Li Shi actually broke out of the siege and came back alive.
For a moment, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
——
"Your Majesty, do you think it is more advantageous to chop off Li Shi's head or to let him go back and let him continue to lead the Flying Bear Army?" Shisun Rui said unhurriedly.
Liu Xie looked at the calm-looking taxi driver Sun Rui, then at the silent Wei Jie and the smiling Ju Jun, and he understood everything at once.
This was something they had discussed long ago, but they just didn't say it explicitly.
"How can Li Shi still lead the Flying Bear Army after losing so miserably?"
"As long as he is alive, it is possible. If he dies, there is no possibility at all." Shisun Rui sighed. "It is difficult to find such a weak cavalry general. Even if Hu Feng leads the Flying Bear Army, I will
I can’t persist until now, and I didn’t even dare to gamble in the first place.”
Liu Xie nodded and said nothing.
He understood what Shi Sunrui meant.
The reason why Shi Sunrui took the gamble was because the strongest Flying Bear Army was in Li Shi's hands, and its combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
Almost a broken bone.
As long as Li Shi is useful, Shi Sunrui can't trap him.
Li Shi could not be trapped. With the combat effectiveness of the Northern and Southern Army alone, facing the Flying Bear Army was an unrealistic fantasy.
If he was given the choice, he would also like Li Shi to continue to lead the Flying Bear Army, and he would have the chance to win again in the future.
Win-win.
"The guards are like gods with their troops." Liu Xie said a little helplessly: "But if you can explain it in advance, I won't be so worried."
Shisun Rui looked at Liu Xie, the corners of his mouth twitching, feeling a bit uncontrollably proud.
"Your Majesty, using troops is to take risks. Although I have a plan, I cannot guarantee success. For example, if the infantry battalion intercepts the Flying Bear Army, if Your Majesty had not sent Huben to help, Wei Jie might have died on the battlefield and would not be able to complete the scheduled task.
The combat effectiveness of the Flying Bear Army cannot be underestimated. Infantry Sima Wei Meng is also a warrior and in his prime, but he is still not immune."
Liu Xie said no more.
He had already heard from Wang Chang that Wei Meng, Wei Jie's subordinate, was killed in battle. He was Wei Jie's general and had just been promoted to Sima before the war. He wanted to use his courage to tear apart the Fei Xiong Army's position.
Unexpectedly, he was killed by an arrow as soon as he entered the battle.
Wei Jie himself is no exception. If Wang Chang and others had not been able to protect him well, Wei Jie would not have survived to the end.
The battlefield is dangerous, and it is by no means as simple as talking about it.
"Wei Qing, please forgive me."
Wei Jie's eyes were red and swollen, and he stood up to say hello.
"The ministers eat the emperor's salary and share the emperor's worries and duties. Furthermore, he is not the only one who has dedicated his life to serving the country in this battle. More than half of the infantry battalion suffered casualties, and everyone has a family and a family. Wei Meng and them
The only difference is that I have an uncle who is an infantry colonel."
