I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 672 Xu Rong, who knows the details of the Xiliang army
  Zhang He, Yan Liang, and Gao Lan worked together flawlessly!
  The Xiliang Army and the Hebei Army fought back and forth on the battlefield, but as time passed, Li Meng's mentality became a little unbearable.

His thoughts are getting more and more confused, and his temper is getting more and more impatient!
  This is the common problem of Xiliang generals, they have no patience for anything!

Li Meng was very dissatisfied with the fact that his side had been on the offensive but had not caused any loosening of the opponent's military formation.

Logically speaking, at this moment, Li Meng should stabilize his mentality and launch a psychological offensive against the enemy.

The other party is not in a hurry, and I am not in a hurry. We just grind each other slowly to see who can persist until the end. This is the most important thing to do at the moment.

But it is a pity that Li Meng does not have calmness among his skill points.

He lacked too much in this aspect, especially when his opponent was a famous general like Zhang He, so his little ability was even more lacking.

"Order Li Sima and Zhao Sima to command the infantry battalions and charge forward in order! We must break open the opponent's front formation no matter what! Let their soldiers and horses rush in!"

Soon a messenger sent Li Meng's military order to two Sima of the Xiliang Army. The two Sima arrived at the front line in person and commanded the death squads to charge again towards the Hebei Army in front.

Now the two armies have become close to each other. If the Xiliang cavalry is used to charge again, the consequence will be that one's own soldiers will also be injured.

Li Meng has also been in the military for many years, so he will naturally not make such a mistake.

According to the current situation of both sides, if the infantry team is used to forcefully crush the opponent's military formation, even if the opponent is in a rout situation, the damage to one's own side will not be small.

These days, although cavalry is the most powerful weapon on the battlefield, when it comes to a life-and-death battle, the situation on the battlefield still depends on the infantry's offensive.

Li Meng also had an excellent heavy infantry team. The armor and equipment of this army were all drawn from the arsenal by Dong Zhuo and given to him when he was in Luoyang.

It can be said that, in addition to the Xiliang cavalry, this heavy infantry is Li Meng's trump card.

The two sides launched a life-and-death fight on the battlefield. The heavy infantry of the Xiliang Army fought against the elite infantry of the Hebei Army. Both sides held shields, knives and halberds, and they fought for their lives in a decisive battle.

When it comes to equipment, although the equipment of the Xiliang Army is very sophisticated, it still falls short of the equipment of the Hebei Army.

Hebei's iron production quantity and military craftsmanship in recent years have ranked first in the world!

However, when it comes to the fighting spirit of fighting to the death, the Hebei Army does not seem to be as high as the Xiliang Army.

After all, the Xiliang army is a pack of murderous wolves.

The two sides were still evenly matched in this battle. Li Meng's heavy infantry could not push away the Hebei Army's formation, and the Hebei Army could not repel Li Meng's army.

This is a life-for-life battle.

People on both sides continued to fall down and get injured, and no one was willing to give in.

Time passed little by little, and the situation did not change at all.

The losses on both sides were considerable, and the casualties were relatively high.

But Zhang He was really able to keep his composure.

Zhang He gritted his teeth, determined to continue fighting like Li Meng at the cost of his life.

It was as if the sergeants under him were not his own sergeants.

Zhang He was patient, but Li Meng's patience was gradually worn away.

He hurriedly directed his soldiers and horses to continue charging upward, but it had no effect at all.

Li Meng didn't want to wait any longer, and decided to go to the town himself to command the soldiers in battle!
  As a general, going forward in person can greatly boost your own morale.
  If the morale of the three armies suddenly rises, they may be able to overcome the earthquake and establish a chance of victory in one fell swoop.

But at the same time, the risk of this operation is also very high.

Therefore, Li Meng, accompanied by a group of his men, moved the front line. He came to the front line where the two armies were fighting, taking the lead and boosting his own morale.

He loudly told the soldiers under his command: "From now on, I will personally supervise the three armies in the front line! If anyone dares to disobey the general's order and not charge forward! I will personally kill him!"

Li Meng's personal arrival at the front line did give a great boost to the morale of the Xiliang army.

The suicide squads of the Xiliang Army all took the lead, their morale and fighting spirit were greatly increased. They charged forward fiercely regardless of all costs, which suddenly increased the pressure on the Hebei Army.

However, this also allowed the Hebei Army to see a great opportunity to kill the enemy leader with one blow.

Li Meng's arrival in the front line is a great blessing for Yan Liang.

He immediately led his troops and rushed in from the flank.

The Xiliang army was charging forward desperately, but who would have thought that the flank of their front line was suddenly rushed away by Yan Liang.

Now all the soldiers of the Xiliang Army are focused on the enemy's main formation, and they have neglected to take precautions against Yan Liang's cavalry wandering around the army... To be honest, they don't have too much energy to take precautions now.

This caused Yan Liang to advance forward like a sharp blade cutting through flesh and blood, stabbing straight into the opponent's internal organs and bones!

Yan Liang himself was unstoppable. He waved the sword in his hand and commanded the cavalry around him to fight forward together.

When Li Meng reacted, Yan Liang opened a gap in his flank, and Yan Liang himself was less than twenty feet away.

Vaguely, Yan Liang could see clearly where Li Meng was.

Yan Liang laughed loudly, and immediately led his most elite archers to speed up the attack. He held the sword and suddenly accelerated his speed. As he rushed, he shouted loudly: "Thief general! Take your life!"

The Xiliang troops rushed forward one after another, trying to stop Yan Liang, but they never expected that the charge of Yan Liang's cavalry was so fierce that all the soldiers in front of them were violently knocked away by them.

The sword in Yan Liang's hand was swung back and forth, and each swing would knock away a soldier. Countless soldiers died under his hands in an instant.

It can be said that the three armies are unstoppable.

Under this situation, Li Meng didn't dare to waste time with Yan Liang anymore.

He hurriedly turned his horses and led the Guards back toward the rear.

But the problem is that he has just issued a military order to supervise the three armies to break through the enemy's formation, which has greatly boosted the morale of the Xiliang army. At present, many Xiliang armies in the rear are unaware of the news of Yan Liang's breakthrough.

Now, the soldiers of Li Meng's rear army were also rushing towards the main formation of the Hebei Army. However, Li Meng suddenly retreated and collided with the oncoming soldiers.

Under such circumstances, how could Li Meng return to the rear army so smoothly? Its speed is greatly slowed down!
  Not long after, Yan Liang rushed to his vicinity.

Li Meng heard the cry of killing from behind, and hurriedly turned his head to look... and saw Yan Liang and his men, fighting fiercely not far behind him, getting closer and closer to him.

Li Meng was uneasy. He did not dare to confront Yan Liang head-on. He just kept urging the soldiers of the Xiliang Army to stop Yan Liang, while he himself ran desperately towards the rear.

Seeing that Li Meng was about to escape from his hunting range, Yan Liang felt a little anxious. He hurriedly said to a cavalryman next to him who was proficient in horseback archery: "Shoot him with an arrow!"

The archer immediately understood, pressed his weapon, pulled out a sharp arrow from the quiver, and shot it towards Li Meng's back without any hesitation!

The archers were very skilled in archery. And although it can't reach the point of piercing Yang with a hundred steps, at this short distance, it is not difficult to hit Li Meng!
  Then he saw the sharp arrow roaring with the wind, and one arrow hit Li Meng's lower back.

Li Meng roared in pain, then tilted from his horse and fell to the ground.

Although he had been injured and fell to the ground, he knew in his heart that this was not the time for him to rest. With the help of the Xiliang soldiers, he hurriedly got up with all his strength and wanted to walk towards the rear formation on foot, but how could Yan Liang possibly Miss this opportunity?

Yan Liang suddenly accelerated his horse speed and rushed into the enemy formation, aiming at Li Meng and rushing in recklessly.

However, during this period, many Xiliang soldiers stepped forward to stop him, and the blade of a Xiliang army spearman stabbed his thigh, drawing blood, but Yan Liang ignored him.

Soon, Yan Liang arrived at Li Meng's side. He raised his sword high, shouted at Li Meng, and slashed with the sword!
  Then, Li Meng was seen with a face of shock and horror, half of his body was split open by Yan Liang, and blood spattered on the people around him.

……

……

In the rear formation of the Hebei Army, Zhang He, who was commanding various units of the Chinese Army to fight with the Xiliang Army, suddenly noticed that the opponent's front formation was beginning to show signs of loosening.

Although the Xiliang army was still fighting desperately with its own side, for Zhang He, who had extremely keen senses on the battlefield, these illusions could not deceive his eyes at all.

"There must be something unexpected happening in the Xiliang army!" Zhang He said with certainty.

Immediately, he immediately ordered the entire army to switch from defense to offense, and began to charge forward with all their strength against the pressure of the Xiliang Army.

Zhang He's soldiers were a little confused.

Lieutenant Zhang Nan asked Zhang He: "General, the morale of that army is high and the offensive is very fierce. We should be on the defensive. How can we switch to the offensive?"

Zhang He replied: "Although that army is brave, it is just a temporary spirit and will fade away in a short time. The Xiliang army commander is too hasty to move forward. If we delay, we may lose the opportunity to fight. At this time, we must face the difficulties!"

Speaking of this, I saw Zhang He ordered someone to take away his Chang Shuo!

"I personally supervise the army and live and die together with the soldiers of the three armies!"

Zhang He made such a statement, what else could the other captains and commanders present have to say?

"Here!"

"Here!"

"We are willing to fight to the death with the general!"

When everyone was expressing their stance, they saw a scout riding back on Pegasus, came to Zhang He, and reported to him in a low voice.

Zhang He burst out laughing after hearing what the scout said.

"General Yan Liang is indeed my Hebei general! He has already killed Li Meng! The enemy army no longer has a leader and will be defeated in a short time. Generals, this is the moment of God-given miracles, how can you miss it?"

"kill!"

……

……

Zhang He finally had a fighting chance, but on the other side, Wang Fang, who was responsible for fighting Xu Rong, Wen Chou, Gongsun Zan and others, also encountered a huge dilemma.

From the very beginning of his fight with Xu Rong, Wang Fang was always beaten.

No matter how Wang Fang changes his Xiliang army's battle formation and tactics, Xu Rong will see through them.

Wang Fang's morale became lower and lower, and the soldiers became more and more panicked.

To put it bluntly, looking at the soldiers of the Xiliang Army under Dong Zhuo, this is the first time in many years that they have encountered such a dilemma.

"General Wang, the battle formation on the Western Front has been lost! Lieutenant Zhao, please ask General to send troops to rescue as soon as possible!"

"General Wang, there are people in the rear army rushing into the formation. Wu Sima asks General Wang to send troops to support quickly!"

"General Wang, the soldiers and horses we sent to disrupt Xu Rong's flank were all wiped out by the other army!"

"General Wang, the Chinese army can't hold on any longer!"

Wang Fang: "..."

"Why is this?"

At this moment, Wang Fang's heart was filled with ten thousand grass and mud horses. He really couldn't understand why Xu Rong knew all his battle formations and all his actions. He seemed to be a roundworm in his stomach, always knowing that he was Think about something else.

At this time, I heard the deputy general Wang Fang say: "General, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. If we continue to fight like this, the three armies will be defeated. Xu Rong is well versed in strategy and is familiar with our army's tactics. His army is well prepared. We can no longer follow him." He’s going to fight!”

Wang Fang said angrily: "If we retreat now, and you let most of the troops guard Chang'an, how will we defend ourselves against the enemy?"

"This……"

As soon as these words were spoken, the generals of the Xiliang Army did not know how to respond.

Wang Fang looked at the opponent with blood-red eyes, gritting his teeth and said: "Xu Rong, the dog thief...I will fight you to death today!"

In the Hebei military formation, the old god Xu Rongzheng was commanding under his opponents, and was constantly giving new instructions as the battle situation changed.

At this moment, everyone around him was extremely impressed by Xu Rong's clever calculation.

"General Wen!"

Wen Chou immediately stepped forward and asked, "What are your orders, General Xu?"

"You will lead your elite troops to defend the enemy from the southwest. We don't have many people there. I think the king will definitely want to achieve victory there. As long as he is stopped there, the morale of the other army will be completely destroyed! "

After listening to Xu Rong's instructions, Wen Chou immediately said: "I respectfully follow General Xu's order, but a certain family still has something to ask General Xu for advice."

Xu Rong said: "General Wen has something to say, but it doesn't matter."

Wen Chou said: "General Xu, since we fought against the Xiliang Army, I can tell that every step of the Xiliang Army seems to be well understood, and you are also very familiar with their tactics, including formations. It can be said that you are very familiar with them. Know yourself and know the enemy.”

"Even today's Prime Minister, I'm afraid he can't understand the Xiliang army as well as General Xu, right? I also know that General Xu and Zhang Wen once led the troops westward to Liangzhou, but at that time you and Dong Zhuo belongs to a different family and has never assisted Dong Zhuo, so why do you know so much about his subordinates now?"

Xu Rong laughed loudly after hearing this.

"General Wen, let me make a long story short. The reason why I surrendered to the Prime Minister back then was because the Prime Minister and I had a very similar strategic vision for the northwest. We had the same spirit. In my heart, the armies of the Northwest and Xiliang have always been great men. The biggest hidden danger of the dynasty is that if you want to pacify the Han Dynasty, the northwest must be pacified, and if you want to pacify the northwest, you must understand Xiliang's tactics and the generals of Xiliang."

"Since I was young, I have been studying the customs and tactics of the Xiliang people, including the use of soldiers. I have also traveled to various places in Xizhou to expand my knowledge."

"After joining the army, I also studied the tactics of the Xiliang armies led by Dong Zhuo. When I conquered Liangzhou in the west, I also paid more attention to them."

"Over the years in Hebei, I have never fallen behind in this aspect."

"Whenever the Prime Minister has information about the Xiliang Army, he will inform me immediately."

"I am also very interested in the various tribes in Xiliang and have studied them deeply, waiting to fight against them one day."

"Don't say that Wang Fang is just an ordinary general in the Xiliang army. Hua Xiong, Hu Zhen, Li Jue and others have come. I am also confident and can compete with them! Even Dong Zhuo personally commanded me. And also have the confidence to beat it.”

Hearing what Xu Rong said, Wen Chou suddenly felt admiration in his heart.

He cupped his hands at Xu Rong and said, "General Xu is indeed an ambitious man, and Wen deeply admires him."

After saying that, Wen Chou rode out on horseback and led his troops to carry out the mission according to Xu Rong's instructions.

Xu Rong, on the other hand, was stroking his long beard, quietly observing the battlefield situation in the distance, and began to formulate the next round of battle plans in his mind.

Although the winner has not been completely determined on the battlefield, what is certain is that the general trend has been decided.

Good news about Xu Rong continues, and Hu Zhen has arrived in Chang'an now.

Now that Hu Zhen has arrived in Chang'an, the opponent he faces is naturally the number one military god of the Han Dynasty, Liu Jian, who is a god in military use.

Hu Zhen felt excited and inexplicably restless at the same time.

If Liu Jian can be captured alive, he will become famous all over the world in the future.

He will have a strong influence on the entire history of China.

But it's a pity that he thought of things a little too well.

At this time, in Chang'an, Liu Jian was entertaining him with the most elite Liennu Battalion of the Hebei Army.

The person who leads these strong crossbow troops is Liu Jian's general Qu Yi. Qu Yi can be said to be the best among Liu Jian's generals in bow and crossbow tactics.

In this battle, although Hu Zhen has not yet started fighting Liu Jian, his defeat is already inevitable.
