Chapter 255
Dou Rong was already imprisoned, but when he found that the army besieged Kunyang was struggling to retreat, he was shocked and shouted at Wang Yi, who was riding a horse to arrange the evacuation:
"Da Sikong, you must conquer Guancheng in one go, and you must not retreat!"
Because Wang Yi did not make the "rebellion" of the fifth reunion public, Dou Rong thought it was because Wang Yi intercepted the news that "Wancheng lost", so he said: "No more than 10,000 people sent to the south have sent back the news. How can we know that Wancheng is not defending? This may be just a trick of the traitor."
It makes sense, but Wang Yi no longer trusts Dou Rong: he remembered that the reason why the fifth reunion was valued by Wang Mang was thanks to Dou Rong's praise of him! The two of them had sex at that time.
Now in Wang Yi's eyes, all Dou Rong's actions were conspiring with the fifth replies.
The letter predicting the meteorite might have been Dou Rong temporarily wrote it to rub it and make it old, and took it out to deceive himself to disrupt the morale of the army! Otherwise, how could the prediction be so accurate?
Dou Rong asked Wang Yi to divide his troops into the south, which was the fifth army that wanted to divide his relationship.
Dou Rong asked him to surround Kunyang with three missing one, which was the fifth person who wanted to let Kunyang escape south.
Dou Rong escaped from the enemy in Yingchuan for several months, and his defeat in Tanghe half a year ago was also the commander of the fifth reunion!
"Duke Zhou, Duke Zhou, what benefits did the fifth reunion give you? You actually sold all your wealth and relatives?"
Wang Yi was heartbroken, but he was not angry yet. Although the retreat was chaotic, there was still a plan. Tens of thousands of troops in the rear army moved first, and tens of thousands of troops in the front army were still preparing for the rear army. However, the 200,000 troops in the middle were still being prepared, but they were much looser than when they were preparing for the war. Many soldiers were already covered with bags and bedding, carrying grain and millet.
At this moment, a captain hurried over to report.
"Da Sikong!"
"Towards Dingling east of Kunyang, there are a small group of enemy troops approaching our army!"
...
Compared with Wang Yi's 300,000 people, the 1,000 vanguards and cavalrymen led by Liu Xiu were indeed just small troops.
Although Liu Xiu mentioned one military strategy after another, the enemy was a hundred times higher than theirs! Kunyang was attacked for a long time and the soldiers were exhausted and had not yet been lifted. Among the Zhuqu generals who were on par with him, Li Yi was the first to disagree, and even Ma Wu, who had always been brave, hesitated.
The Yangcheng soldiers led by Deng Chen were still dozens of miles behind before they arrived. Liu Xiu then said: "Since that's the case, the two generals should first watch the battle, and let Xiu generals, infantry and cavalrymen, and siege their formation first to test!"
After saying that, he stopped the soldiers from the headquarters and headed forward. One thousand people went to tease the 300,000 giants, just like a little mouse trying to shake a giant elephant. Just the more than ten soldiers arranged by Wang Yi to roam around him, he picked out one of them, and the number was similar to that of them.
The schools following Liu Xiu, Fu Jun and Chen Jun were undoubtedly brave, Zhu You and Wang Ba were more persistent, and they were unable to dissuade them by "Don't stop returning to the army".
Only Feng Yi supported Liu Xiu's choice: "The harm of using troops is the greatest hesitation; the disaster of the three armies is born of suspicion. Once the enemy retreats, it is equivalent to being defeated in Kunyang, and morale will definitely fall. If you attack now, you can at least bite a piece of meat."
But ordinary soldiers don’t understand these things. They only know that they have fewer people and more enemies.
Aware of the hesitation of the soldiers, Liu Xiu changed his past habit of "general of bulls" in the back to escort the formation and was on the verge of one horse.
The new army still set up defenses on the periphery. More than a thousand soldiers and roamed the front several miles away. Seeing their arrays scattered, their steps were rushed, and the soldiers frequently looked back. Liu Xiu felt that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so he didn't try it anymore. He waved his sword and rushed over first!
When he joined the formation, he caught the enemy off guard. After killing dozens of heads with a cavalry, the soldiers suspected that there were reinforcements behind him, so they retreated in a hurry and did not dare to fight Liu Xiu.
It was not until this time that Wang Ba, Feng Yi, Zhu You and others caught up. Wang Ba was amazed and looked at Liu Xiu, who was more courageous today, and expressed his doubts: "In his life, General Liu still had a fear of the small enemy. Now he met a big enemy, he was a hundred times more courageous. It was really strange."
Who wouldn't be afraid? But for some reason, Liu Xiu, who is usually sturdy and timid, seemed to have a voice in his heart telling him that this battle must be fought!
The Kunyang wind blew on Liu Xiu's beard. He swayed the blood from the knife and smiled: "Bo Yuan, the wind is strong and the grass is strong."
Liu Xiu pointed to the Xinmang army like a mountain tomb in front of him: "The wind is very strong today, and it can break the house and pull out the trees, so you should work hard and make people know that we are the most powerful plants and trees in the green forest!"
This statement was quite inspiring morale. Feng Yi, Wang Ba and others were all inspired by Liu Xiu and bowed: "We are willing to return to the front, please help the general defeat the enemy!"
At this time, the general in charge of the new army in the east gathered the defeated soldiers, led thousands of people out of the enemy, and took the initiative to walk towards Liu Xiu's troops. After seeing the blood, Liu Xiu's subordinates became more and more courageous. Facing several times the enemy, they still followed Liu Xiu's front drive to fight.
"Uncle Wen is quite brave today."
Li Yi and Ma Wu followed him with two thousand people to watch, but saw Liu Xiu swinging his sword with his spear and urging his cavalry to lead his troops to rush towards the enemy. Fu Jun and Chen Jun followed closely behind, guarding him, Feng Yi and Wang Ba commanded a group of soldiers to follow and fight with the enemy.
With thousands of enemies, it is probably a struggle on weekdays, but today Wang Yi suddenly stopped siege and issued a retreat order. The three armies were so confused that who would fight hard?
Ma Wu and others could not find Liu Xiu's figure for a long time. They could only see the flag of "Jinwu General" steadily advancing forward in the enemy formation, like cutting a piece of tofu with a sharp knife, the speed getting faster and faster, and finally broke through the enemy formation directly!
"What a Uncle Liu Wen!"
Ma Wu has always been strong and could not help it. A man from Yingchuan named Zang Gong under his command even scratched his head, wishing he could fight with Liu Wenshu immediately. They ignored Li Yi's advice, "Wait a little longer, we can plunder the formation for Uncle Wen", and immediately led more than a thousand soldiers to rush down the hill and approach the battlefield.
He has always been marching and fighting. The more he cherishes his life, the more he will die. The more he fights, the more he will be alive. Liu Xiu's subordinates all follow the general and the new army learns from the general to cherish his life. Therefore, although his troops are numerous, they are beaten to pieces by Liu Xiu's army.
In addition, Ma Wu came over with fierce force. When he turned around, his own army of 300,000 and countless arrays, without Wang Yi's order, was watching the show ten miles away, and it was as still as a mountain!
How can I fight? The general who was responsible for the defense of the east side immediately rushed and began to turn around and flee by himself. The new recruits immediately dispersed. For a moment, hundreds of people were killed by the formation!
At this time, the Grand Senkong Wang Yi was also looking in the camp. He thought there were only a few soldiers coming and it was not worth a sweep, but he frowned. Seeing that the general was defeated and the friendly troops nearby were rescued, he was so angry that he cursed.
This retreat caused a big gap to appear on the east side of Wangyi's army, which made the three armies restless, just to think that Liu Bosheng's army had arrived in the south!
But the enemy did fight well. Wang Yi asked someone to ask the scout who came back from the east: "Who is the commander of this group of thieves?"
"I am fighting the flag of General Jinwu."
Wang Yi glanced at the army beside him, and the Lord Bo said, "Who is this?"
The masters and the officials also had to discuss in a low voice for a while before they could unify their opinions: "I remember Dou Rong said that this is the brother of Liu Bosheng, Liu Xiu!"
Liu...Liu Xiu?
Wang Yi suddenly remembered the letter from the fifth reunion and mentioned this person, and was shocked.
It was said that Liu Xiu and Liu Xiu arrived. Is this a collusion with Liu Xiu when Dou Rong "forged" the letter, or is there really a god around him? From the beginning of the Falcon to the arrival of Liu Xiu, everything was calculated!
What was even more shocking was that Liu Xiu did not stop when he saw it. Instead, after getting the joining of friendly forces, he continued to approach the west and rushed straight to the main formation of the new army that was preparing to evacuate!
Wang Yi's mentality was shaken, and the three armies were restless. He knew that he had to defeat this bandit army before he could retreat calmly. He ordered: "Let the Hu Ben Camp and the Hu Qi Camp gather together, and I will defeat the bandits themselves!"
...
"General Ji Wen is here too!"
In just half an hour, Liu Xiu had led a thousand people to break through the outer periphery of the New Army for two consecutive formations. He was always the tip of the entire army and rushed to the front. He was a little tired, and sat on a corpse and gasped and drank water. But after seeing Li Yi also brought his soldiers to his array, he had the strength again and continued to bully forward with three thousand soldiers, only four or five miles away from the New Army's main formation.
How could Wang Yi bear such an aggressive attitude? Seeing that the new army was gathering in a hurry, more than 10,000 people who had originally planned to retreat north turned around and came towards Liu Xiu and others.
Ma Wu only admired Liu Xiu in the past, but now he admired him very much. Li Yi no longer looked down on him. He even didn't dare to scream, but said in a solemn manner: "General Wen Shu is brave, but since he has defeated the enemy for two consecutive formations, he should stop at the right time, otherwise it would be a pity..."
Although the new army was confused and their individual military skills were not as good as the Han soldiers and they were unable to fight, even if they were thousands of pigs, it took a lot of effort to drive them away. On the contrary, Wang Yi's central army was all elite troops in the northern school and did not participate in the siege, so they were waiting for their labor.
If you stop when you see the good news, you will annoy the enemy army and not retreat, turn around and fight back, and attack Kunyang again, wouldn’t you shoot yourself in the foot?
Liu Xiu did not think that his side had no chance of winning. He pointed to the terrain ahead and said: "There is a military water in the north of Kunyang. Because there are too many new soldiers, it is stationed in the south and north of the army. Now the waters are also the ones in the north of the river retreat first. The front and more than 100,000 people have crossed the river. The central army has just arrived at the shore of the military waters and is unable to cross it."
This is the fighter he saw: the new army retreated hastily, disconnected from front and back, and its tail remained in Kunyang, which was difficult to communicate with military orders, and the soldiers were panicked. The commander was unable to cross the river, so he was bullied by him. After sending two groups of partial divisions, he could only attack in person, and the left and right arrays were carrying their hands to resist the baggage and bedding, unable to save each other, and even had no intention of helping.
As long as three thousand death-death men rushed from the waters of the west city, they were enough to defeat the enemy!
Moreover, the resumption of Han and the rebellion of the new era was not only about competing for the city, but also about annihilation of enemy troops.
"This is probably what Wang Mang can pull out from Guanzhong, the last batch of new recruits."
Liu Xiu inspired everyone: "Win this battle, the Han family can conquer the world! We will be the generals who revive the Han Dynasty, as famous as Cao Shen and Guan Ying of the former Han Dynasty!"
Everyone was shocked. They thought Liu Xiu just wanted to take the opportunity to bite a piece of meat, but unexpectedly, he actually wanted to eat the other party in one breath!
For a moment, they felt that Liu Bosheng should be in front of them, not Liu Wen's uncle.
Li Yi still shook his head, thinking that Liu Xiu was speaking too lightly and risky: "Uncle Wen is usually steady, why is he so impatient today?"
Why? Liu Xiu turned his head and looked at the army water. There were black clouds in the sky, and on the ground were Wang Yi's black battle formation and countless flags moving with the wind.
Because in front of Liu Xiu, it was not the enemy's array, but also the back of his elder brother.
Since his birth, Liu Xiu has been looking up and chasing his brother. At first, he wanted to assist Bo Sheng silently in the back, and his desire came from his recognition. But gradually, Liu Xiu discovered that what he really longed for was the opportunity to stand shoulder to shoulder with his brother!
But this statement is not enough to tell others. The current situation is that Ma Wu supports Liu Xiu, but Li Yi does not agree to continue taking risks and still wants to withdraw.
"Reinforcements have arrived!" Zhu You brought good news at this time.
Everyone turned around and saw thousands of people from Deng Chen and others also appeared in the distance of the east, slowly approaching here.
Liu Xiu knew that the last moment had come.
"Before this battle, we were unknown." Liu Xiu decided not to care about Li Yi, but only looked up and looked at Ma Wu, Feng Yi, Wang Ba, Zhu You, Fu Jun, Chen Jun, Zang Gong and others.
"But after this battle, the name of all the kings will be known to everyone in the world!"
He is not only talking about them, he is also talking about himself!
The courage brought by winning streak is better than the fear of facing a strong enemy.
"Everyone in the world knows it!"
Ma Wu was the first to respond, and the three thousand men raised their spears and shouted in unison. Li Yi was also entangled in it. Even if he wanted to object, his subordinates might not obey. They were crazy, and they all killed crazy!
The two armies are approaching, the Huqi camp is like a dragon, and it is arranged on both wings, while the Hubin camp has layers of armor, sharp swords and halberds, and orderly, and it will hit the main force of the enemy. This time it will be a hard battle with real swords and guns.
The weather was even worse, and the dark sky blew frequently, like the roar of a beast. The wind blew the yellow Ancestral flag of Dasikong Wang Yi, and made the blood feathers dyed red on Liu Xiu's army's helmet sway wildly.
The strong wind knows the strong grass, but at this moment, he is no longer the strong grass.
I'm the wind!
The glory of ancestors, the longing to be side by side with brothers, and the desire to be famous all over the world, the blood is boiling, just like the Great Han Flame Flag above the head is burning!
"The wind is rising, and the clouds are flying!"
