Yang Tong's scolding was naturally aimed at Yuanwendu. The battle at Shizihe had made Yang Tong completely give up on Yuanwendu's military capabilities. The only one he could rely on now was Wanhe, so in Wanwen He and Yuan Wendu had a choice between them. Yang Tong undoubtedly chose Wan He. However, after being scolded by Yang Tong, Yuan Wendu's face turned blue and white, and in the end he could only retreat without saying anything.
After scolding Yuan Wendu, Yang Tong turned his head again and said to Wan He: "Liang Guogong, is this really no problem?" It's no wonder that Yang Tong is so worried, because the only Sui army outside the city gate at this moment is There are less than 10,000 people, but the bandit soldiers outside the city have a total of 50,000 people. If they rely on the city wall, they may be able to stop them, but now they are fighting outside the city. This is a bit too much.
Wan He smiled faintly and said calmly: "Don't worry, there is Li Jing commanding the battle outside the city. This battle will be won. These 50,000 thief soldiers are just the vanguard of the Wagangzhai thief army. If we face 50,000 people, we will win." If you don't dare to take the initiative to fight, then what chance will you have of winning when there are 200,000 troops in Wagang Village?" After Wan He finished speaking, he glanced at Yuan Wendu and Duan Da. After hearing Wan He's words, Yuan Wendu and Duan Da Duan Dadu blushed.
Hearing what Wan He said, although he didn't know how Wan He should respond next, Yang Tong was greatly boosted by Wan He's words. He nodded and said to Wan He: "In this case, then this battle Just ask Liang Guogong,"
Wan He also bowed his head and gave a gentle salute, which was regarded as acceptance. He glanced at Yuan Wendu and Duan Da, and felt so happy in his heart. What Li Jing just said was all what Li Jing told Wan He before. Now Wan He uses this In one sentence, Yuan Wendu and Duan Da were taught a lesson, and they proved to be successful every time they tried. Now that they were in the limelight, Wan He was even more proud. He shouted to the soldiers behind him: "Blow the drum to cheer."
As Wan He drank, the sound of war drums on the top of the city was also loud. It spread to the Sui army outside the city, which also boosted the morale of the Sui army. At the same time, in front of the Sui army's formation, Li Jing turned back towards the top of the city and smiled. He smiled and said to Pei Xingyan and others beside him: "It seems that the Duke of Guo can't wait any longer. Anyway, let us win this battle for the Duke of Guo. Yulin Army, listen to the order."
As Li Jing shouted, the Sui army's formation, that is, nearly 10,000 imperial guardsmen, shouted in unison. Immediately afterwards, the formation immediately changed, from a simple square formation to a strict semicircle defense formation, and Li Jing saw Looking at the thieves in the distance who had already reached a distance of nearly 800 steps, he turned backhand again and shouted: "Archers, prepare,"
"Drink," behind the semicircular formation, nearly two thousand imperial guards immediately raised their bows and arrows, bent their bows and nocked arrows. The arrows were aimed at the bandit soldiers in front, but they did not fire. Li Jing did not give an order, and kept raising his arrows high. With his arms and eyes fixed forward, Li Jing silently calculated the distance between the two armies. Seeing that the distance between the two armies was approaching five hundred steps, Li Jing's raised arm suddenly swung forward, and in an instant, countless arrows were fired. It flew out from behind Li Jing and landed directly in the rebel army in front.
Suddenly, countless screams rang out. The more than 10,000 rebels led by Wei Liu'er had killed and injured thousands of people in the blink of an eye. Even Wei Liu'er himself was almost hit by an arrow in the shoulder, feeling the impact of the arrow just now. The burning sensation brought by grazing his cheek made Wei Liu'er feel frightened and angry. He swung forward with the big knife in his hand and shouted angrily: "Kill, kill, kill for me,"
"Kill," the death of his comrade-in-arms not only did not hit these rebels, but made their fighting spirit even crazier. The remaining rebel soldiers roared and accelerated towards the front. Although arrows continued to fly from the front, But it didn't affect their momentum to charge forward at all.
Soon, Wei Liu'er rushed to the front of the Imperial Guards' formation, spotted the Imperial Guardsman at the front, roared angrily, and slashed the head of the Imperial Guards soldier with the sword in his hand, but just before he Just when the sword was about to fall on the soldier's head, there was a sound, and a steel gun suddenly appeared on top of the soldier's head, directly blocking Wei Liu'er's sword.
Wei Liu'er raised his head and saw that the person holding a gun to block his sword was a young general wearing silver armor. The young general glanced at Wei Liu'er coldly and hummed: "Boy, you have the ability." Just come and fight with me. Bullying your servants is nothing. Let me, Zhu Muwu, teach you how capable you are."
Hearing Zhu Muwu's words, Wei Liu'er was immediately so angry that he was already thirty or forty years old, but the young general in front of him was only in his early twenties, yet he dared to call himself "boy", and his tone was so arrogant. Wei Liu'er stared and shouted: "You bastard, I'm going to kill you." As he said that, Wei Liu'er turned the sword in his hand and slashed directly towards Zhu Muwu.
Regarding Wei Liu'er's attack, Zhu Muwu's eyes flashed with cold light, and he pointed the steel gun in his hand forward one after another, and thrust out Wei Liu'er's sword. Even though Zhu Muwu had only been practicing martial arts for two or three years, he could According to Li Jing, Zhu Muwu's talent in martial arts is particularly good. After two or three years of practice, he is no less than an ordinary military general. Although Wei Liu'er is considered a fierce general in the rebel army, he also took advantage of Zhu Muwu for a while. There was no way around it, and the two of them immediately became inseparable from each other.
And just when Wei Liu'er and Zhu Muwu were fighting, the rebels under Wei Liu'er also rushed to the Royal Forest Army's formation. Following Li Jing's shout, the soldiers at the forefront of the Royal Forest Army's circular formation raised their arms one after another. The spears in his hands were facing the rebel soldiers who were charging over, and they were thrust out at the same time. The more than 500 people standing in the first row were stabbed out uniformly, and the momentum was actually more than ten times greater. Those who were rushing at the front were The rebel soldiers were immediately stabbed and fell down one after another. In this first impact, the rebels did not take any advantage at all.
However, the rebel soldiers behind them continued to move towards the front while stepping on the corpses of their comrades. This time, the Yulin Army could no longer stab out the neat and uniform spear array, but since the Yulin Army is called the world The strongest soldier is not unreasonable. Under the command of Li Jing, the Royal Forest Army actually changed its formation again. Three or four Imperial Army soldiers formed a small formation, cooperated with each other, and fought with the rebel soldiers. This change of formation of the Royal Forest Army , also caught the rebels by surprise. Don’t underestimate this small formation. The three or four Royal Forest Army soldiers cooperated very well with each other. After several rounds of confrontation, not a single small formation was broken by the rebels. The two armies fought for nearly three sticks of incense. In that time, the rebel army lost more than 4,000 people, while the Royal Forest Army only lost less than a hundred people.
On the top of the city, seeing such a record, Yang Tong and others were stunned, while Wan He became more and more proud and said with a smile: "This imperial army is worthy of being the strongest soldier in the world. If there is no such As an elite division, I am afraid that no matter how powerful Li Jing is, he will not be able to achieve such results."
As soon as Wan He said these words, the expressions of Yuan Wendu and Duan Da couldn't help but change. Wan He's words can also be understood as: The Imperial Forest Army's combat effectiveness is so strong, but without a good commander, it can only be... After losing the battle, this was clearly a mockery of Yuan Wendu and Duan Da's unclear employment, which led to Shizihe's defeat. Sure enough, after listening to Wan He's words, Yang Tong also turned around and glared at Yuan Wendu. Wen Du and Duan Da.
Being glared at by Yang Tong, both Yuan Wendu and Duan Da felt miserable. This time they really couldn't find any reason at all. They were also members of the Royal Forest Army, with more than 10,000 people, but in the hands of others , defeating the enemy was like a crushing blow, but in the hands of his own students, it turned into a huge defeat. When the two sides were compared, it became clear how incompetent the two students from Yuan Wendu were.
At this time, under the city wall, the battle situation was still developing in the direction favorable to the Imperial Guards. Although the Imperial Guards also began to suffer casualties, compared with the casualties of the rebels, they were not worth mentioning at all. On the battle front between the two armies, It was like a huge meat grinder hidden there, grinding the rebel army into meat paste. In the blink of an eye, Wei Liuer's 10,000-strong army had already lost more than half. If this continues, , it is doomed that the entire army will be annihilated.
Behind the rebel formation, seeing this scene, the three generals Li Deqian, Hei She, and Bai She also changed their expressions. Although they knew that the imperial army was not easy to mess with before, after the great victory at Shizihe, they had long been confident that Manman thought that with more strikes and fewer blows, this battle would be won without a doubt, but he did not expect that he sent a team of ten thousand people, but the result was such a disastrous defeat, although Li Deqian also wanted to use this to consume Wei Liuer's strength. He had troops and horses, but he didn't want to lose this battle. The power of the army commander he had worked so hard to obtain would not only not help Li Deqian get promoted and make a fortune, but would actually make Li Deqian accused of incompetence.
So Li Deqian only hesitated for a moment, and then immediately ordered: "The whole army attacks, kill all the officers and soldiers in front, kill them,"
Li Deqian was already furious at this moment, but the timing of his order to attack was perfect. If Li Deqian had stayed a little longer, Wei Liu'er's 10,000 rebel army would have been completely wiped out, leaving only the underworld and white gangs. She led his troops and horses to fight out from the left and right wings respectively, while Li Deqian led the rest of the army to fight over. At the same time, Li Deqian was still shouting to Wei Liu'er who was fighting in front: "Wei Lao Liu, stand down. Retreat, don’t be tempted to fight,”
I thought that Wei Liu'er would retreat immediately after hearing his words, but I didn't expect that Wei Liu'er in front continued to fight with Zhu Muwu, with no intention of retreating. Li Deqian was shocked and angry when he saw that, even if he was angry He yelled: "The whole army is attacking. Don't worry about the front. Anyone who stands in my way will die."
