Chapter 850 The Beacon Fire, The Golden Stream, The Great River Qiu Li ([-])

The sky was grey, and the 17 troops appeared mighty in the long autumn on the north bank of the Yellow River.The white grass was blown by the north wind, and the dry grass and dust spread into the distance along with the continuous formation. During the mobilization of the army, there was already a beacon rising in the distant sky.

Although in a huge square, the soldiers around him occasionally made noises, and the movements caused by them gathered together, still like a tidal wave.Li Xizhi rode on the horse, watching the dust from the army in front of him, and the blood on his body had become hot.

Even at the last moment, he was still speculating about the real purpose of the Black Flag Army's killing, whether it was coercion and deterrence, so that he would not dare to let go of attacking the Daming Mansion, or to attack the west, and there were other purposes behind it... However, the other party finally came, Echoing it, there is also the fact that the "Guangwu Army" Wang Shanyue and others opened the Daming Mansion and rushed in from the south.The other party's strategic intention is so simple and rude that he finally no longer has to be suspicious, but what is revealed behind this is really cold on the cheeks and cold on the mind, like the humiliation of being slapped in the face.

The 5 people attacking the 17 army came so resolutely. Behind it, it can only explain that the opponent thinks that the combat power is much higher than their own, and they want to wipe out their own army of more than [-] before facing Zongfu, Zongwang and other Jin Kingdom troops. Out of the battlefield.

The sense of anger and humiliation after confirming this fact made Li Xizhi tremble all over, but then he transformed it into boiling killing intent and motivation. , the determination to bring down both sides had dominated his mind.Belittled so far, if he doesn't defeat these 5 people, will he still be a human being in the future?

The army of more than [-] people spread out evenly on the battlefield in a radius of more than ten miles. In order to prevent a large-scale rout, Li Xizhi broke up the army into defensive lines one after another, and used dense defenses to deal with the black flag's edge.Li Xizhi never underestimated the enemy. He understood the power of the Black Flag's offensive, but no matter how strong the attack was, there were only ten thousand people.

This day was the eleventh day of the eighth month of the ninth year of Jianshuo. When the sun rose in the morning, the Huaxia army launched an attack in two directions, and started the piercing operation against Li Xizhi's army. At the same time, in the direction of Damingfu in the south, The Guangwu Army was divided into three groups and attacked Li Xizhi's position from different directions.

As the sun rose gradually, in the north of Daming Mansion, more than 20 fierce battles brought about the voices of people and the sound of roaring guns boiled the sky.The rain of arrows fluttered chaotically, dashing and exploding occasionally across the hills in late autumn, filled with gunpowder smoke, accompanied by explosions, floating in mid-air.This is the first battle in the Central Plains after the Xiaocang River. Artillery has begun to become popular. No matter how good or bad the quality is, both sides are not yet proficient in using this weapon. On the battlefield in the south , Guangwu Army's troops occasionally passed through the position, smashed through the opponent's artillery position, causing huge explosions, and occasionally some troops collapsed under the opponent's artillery fire.

The Huaxia Army in the north had a much better attitude in the face of artillery fire.After the three-year battle of Xiaocanghe, they finally retreated south. Some people were deliberately left in the Central Plains by Ning Yi, and some soldiers of the Huaxia Army were separated from the main force and failed to go south.Those who were lost in the Central Plains returned to the team one after another, and later most of them gathered in the Liangshan area and joined Zhu Biao's team.These soldiers have experienced the most brutal battle situation. During the three-year war, they have long been accustomed to breathing on the battlefield. It is said in later generations that veterans are afraid of guns and new recruits are afraid of guns. These soldiers have understood the power of artillery fire and how to deal with it.In two hours, the black flag army marched straight ahead, contacted and defeated Li Xizhi's subordinates, including Tang Dingyi, Liu Hui, Geng Guoan, and several ten thousand troops, and pushed the offensive to the Kucaopu area five miles away from Li Xizhi.

Relying on the initial sharp momentum, the Guangwu Army's offensive in the south is also advancing continuously. The defense line composed of 17 troops is constantly operating under Li Xizhi's mobilization. The troops were reorganized again, and when the battle was going on for more than an hour, Kou Li, the general Li Xizhi arranged for in the southern defense line, led 3000 people to suddenly turn against the water, and a blow of rebellion instantly caused the defeat of nearly ten thousand people who bore the brunt. Li Xizhi's nephew Li Xuanwu He led the nearby troops to fight hard, and finally stabilized the situation.

However, although in the first two hours, the offensive from the south and the northeast continued to approach, at noon that day, Li Xizhi, who was in the middle of the army, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Nearly 4 people have finally delayed the Black Banner Army's offensive here, and although the battle in the south is fierce, the advance has begun to slow down at this time - as long as the opponent's offensive can be slowed down, the next situation will be more difficult for the enemy. It is an advantage in itself.

He thought so, and it was not bad.

It was only at noon that a huge explosion suddenly came from the side and rear of the formation. The smoke and dust of the explosion rose, and the ground shook. Li Xizhi looked back and saw that the explosion happened two hundred meters away from the side and rear. The gunpowder detonated.The horses neighed and ran, the chaos had spread, and a group of people rushed on their horses: "The black flag has arrived, kill Li Xizhi—"

"Lu Jianyun has defected—"

"Shuzi is courting death!" Li Xizhi raised his eyebrows sharply, and pulled up the big knife beside him, "The black flag offensive is exhausted! These clowns are just desperate and desperate! The odds are with me today, Zhong Erlang, follow me to kill this thief! I To cut off his head with his own hands—"

At this time, he no longer scrutinizes why there are traitors in the vicinity - it is not surprising that the black flag will arrange traitors - he has also been a soldier all his life, and when he shouts and shouts, he has to rush there in person, but the elite soldiers in the rear The onslaught of the cavalry has been blocked.The rebellious people retreated in a hurry, and the nearby troops had already surrounded them from all directions.Li Xizhi was giving orders loudly, and a blood-stained knight rushed from the northeast. The scout rolled off his horse when he got close, and the first sentence made Li Xizhi startled.

"The withered grass is gone—"

"...What did you say!" Li Xizhi's mind was blank for a moment, and for a moment, he slashed at the opponent with a long knife, but the scout said the second sentence with a crying voice.

"Tang Dingyi turned his back and chopped off General Liu Hui's head..."

"Down... your mother's brother, Tang Dingyi..."

Li Xizhi was trembling all over, and was so angry that he couldn't speak. However, five miles away was not far away. Just to the northeast, the chaos was beginning to become huge, and an army was engulfed and scattered, and they were heading this way. Coming, Li Xizhi immediately ordered 2 people to move forward, and the military law team drew their swords, trying to maintain order while gathering rout soldiers to block the black flags that came, but a chain reaction had already occurred, and Lu Jianyun and others who had defected before were not yet besieged Killed, two more broke out in the army formation anyway, followed by the explosion of the luggage.

2 people were in front, and as soon as they came into contact with the rushing army formation, they began to collapse.The black flag cut through the waves and spread across the field of vision, and someone shouted: "The Huaxia army is here, surrender to avoid death—" Li Xizhi ordered the military law team to start killing people. Yes, the bead curtain is already rolling upside down.On the side, a rout of about 5000 soldiers originally under Feng Qize's command also shouted at this time anyway, fighting towards Li Xizhi with all his strength - during the battle of Linhe'ao, what Feng Qize was most afraid of was the army The traitor defected, but in that battle, the black flag's traitor never appeared. This defeated army returned to Li Xizhi's place and was assembled again. No one expected to defect right now.

More than 17 people have been fighting for a whole morning, and now, it is finally cooked into a pot of porridge, and the chaos can't be any more chaotic.At this hour of noon, Li Xizhi saw the most fantastic drama in his life. Taking Tang Dingyi's defection as a turning point, among the 2 troops, as many as [-] troops defected because the general was instigated to rebel. The small-scale defections and coups instantly eroded his army into a sieve, and at the same time destroyed the morale of more than [-] troops.

Li Xizhi's eyes were blood red, and he led the [-] straight line elites under his command to fight hard.Not long after, nephew Li Xuanwu also came with his army.These [-] troops clashed on the battlefield, and correspondingly, hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated and scattered.The Black Flag Army and the Guangwu Army came from the rear, and the entire battlefield spread for more than ten miles, extending from the west side to Daming Mansion. Li Xizhi's direct troops were chased and killed all the way to the bank of the Yellow River on the southwest side of Daming Mansion.

In the evening, more than [-] troops were besieged on the banks of the Yellow River, trying to resist stubbornly.Li Xizhi was guarded in the center by his nephew, personal guards and others. By this time, he had lost his energy, kept shaking his head, and said only: "Impossible, impossible..."

If the Black Flag Army had such a large number of spies from the beginning, it would be impossible for the battle to continue until noon.

However, it all happened right before his eyes.

Before that, he was already a vassal who ruled the Central Plains. In this world, he was supposed to be the one who made the chess game. However, with the outbreak of the war, his 17 elite army faced 5 people. The attack was defeated overnight.

It's hard to imagine how many swingers there were in his army before this. With the progress of this unresolved battle, the intern of the Huaxia Army completed the work of instigating the swingers.

The sun was setting, and the Huaxia Army began to persuade him to surrender. Li Xizhi, who was covered in blood and dust, picked up a big sword and was unwilling to surrender.What greeted his bodyguards was an incoming cannonball. Li Xizhi was knocked to the ground by a cannonball. He staggered to get up, and swung his sword towards the killing Huaxia soldiers, who chopped him to the ground.

"I told you, grown-ups fight—children get away—"

At this moment, on the Yellow River, countless corpses surged along with the waves, and the gunpowder smoke outside the Daming Mansion has not stopped.On this day, it was only a few days before Wanyan Zongbi's Jurchen vanguard arrived. However, the defeat of the 17 army would definitely startle everyone's attention within a few days.

Back to more than 20 days ago, Wang Shanyue met Zhu Biao of the Huaxia Army on the hill, and brought up a dangerous topic.

"I have a desperate plan, and I'll bring it to you today."

"..."

"It has been many years since the Jurchen went south, and the Central Plains have all been together. I want to take the Daming Mansion and cause some trouble for the Jurchen, but I am afraid such a little trouble is not enough to inspire people, and I am not sure to let the Jurchen stay in the big name... Black Flag There are countless internal complaints, first help me make Li Xizhi."

"...The Huaxia Army has internal support, but the internal support is not a god. No matter how incompetent Li Xizhi is, it is very difficult to put 17 people there."

"You helped me make Li Xizhi, and I won't let you help me keep my name."

"...you really don't want to die."

"...In recent years, Li Xizhi and Jurchen have become more and more brutal, but there are fewer and fewer people who resist. This time the Jurchen goes south, there will be no more room for the Wu Dynasty. It is the land of the Central Plains, but not many people dare to dare. Do it, even if you capture Liu Yu and return the world to the Wu Dynasty... Dou Mingde, the owner of the Yellow Snake Village, whose entire family was killed by Jurchen, is no longer afraid to be a car, the gray mountain is harsh, and his daughter is captured and tortured by the people of the Jin Kingdom. After killing him, I went to ask him for help, but he didn't believe me. If we can defeat Li Xizhi and hold back the Jurchen army in Daming Mansion, they will have more confidence every day... Ning Yi is right, save me The world depends on the people of the world, we alone are not enough."

When he said this, it was the time when the stars were filling the sky. Wang Shanyue had long hair and a face like a woman, but there seemed to be a cold hope in her eyes.However, Zhu Biao can understand better that with the management of the Huaxia Army over the years, it is not impossible to defeat Li Xizhi with all his strength. However, if Li Xizhi is defeated, who will come to live in Daming Mansion? It can only be the female army.

But the Wang family has always been like this.More than [-] years ago, when the Liao people went south, Wang Qisong led the whole family of males to fight against the Liao army. All of them were slaughtered.Now, the only remaining male of the Wang family is going to embark on this path.

"You help me kill Li Xizhi," he said.

"I will keep the Daming Mansion...into another Taiyuan!"

On August 6000th, Li Xizhi's army was defeated like an avalanche under the fierce offensive. The Guangwu Army recruited a small number of troops and took over the supplies. However, most of the untrustworthy people were still released after the propaganda. up.On the thirteenth day of the eighth month, hundreds of people from the Yellow Snake Village arrived at the Daming Mansion, and every day after that, groups of people came over and were recruited by the Guangwu Army until the sixteenth day of the eighth month, when Wanyan Zongbi's The cavalry advanced to within a hundred miles of Daming Mansion, and there were as many as [-] righteous men who arrived in Daming Mansion one after another. These people either lost their families under the butcher knife of the Jurchen, or were righteous and oppressed by the Jurchen all these years. People with lofty ideals, most of them understand that after entering the Daming Mansion, it will be difficult to get out.

The Huaxia Army left from the Daming Mansion.

On the fifteenth day, the moon is sixteen rounds. That night, Zhu Biao left at the end of the team.Looking back at the Daming Mansion, Wang Shanyue smiled and waved at the top of the city, dressed like snow, with Wu belt as the wind.At this moment, the autumn is already deep, the Yellow River to the south is still galloping, and the lonely city under the moonlight contains an incomparably heroic dream.

I will delay Jurchen for as long as possible.

until……

. . . Victory comes.

　Hmm, it feels like... there is already a "vast land" atmosphere, right?
