——————————————

The setting sun sets.

The sunset is like blood, and thousands of rays of light radiate across the sky.

The flowing clouds are like gold, brilliant and brilliant, and the evening breeze is cool, making people imagine endlessly and fascinated.

In the afterglow of the sunset, the battle in the wilderness is in full swing.

The two-character three-phase formation is an ancient battle formation.

The two qualities are yin and yang. The three qualities are heaven, earth and man.

The wilderness in the southern suburbs of Chang'an is a plain, with open lands within a radius of dozens of miles. This terrain is a natural battlefield for cavalry to compete for. The infantry does not pose any threat when facing cavalry. They gallop on horseback and are invincible.

In this battle, among the Xiliang army under Li Jue, there were 100,000 infantry and 60,000 cavalry, totaling 160,000 infantry and cavalry. Among the 100,000 infantry and cavalry, there were about 30,000 giant shield soldiers, about 30,000 catapults, chariots, chariots, crossbow formations, etc., and the remaining more than 50,000 people were real infantry. The main force of the 60,000 Western Liang Iron Cavalry was the 50,000 Huben Camp, and the remaining 10,000 iron cavalry were the troops of Xiliang generals such as Li Jue, Guo Si, and Duan Wei. They were not reorganized into an army and mixed with infantry, and their combat power was limited.

Compared with the Western Liang army, the Wuwei army is not the case. More than half of the 140,000 Wuwei army are war cavalry, with more than 70,000 cavalry. Among them, 60,000 Wuwei cavalry is the main force of the entire army, and the eight thousand Jin Qiwei cavalry guards guard the central army, and there are three thousand war cavalry on both sides of the left and right wings. In other words, Fan Yong and Zhang Liao have 6,000 iron cavalry in their hands. In addition to the war cavalry, among the more than 60,000 infantry, there are 30,000 chariots, crossbow formations, chariot formations, catapults and archers, etc., with nearly 20,000 giant shield soldiers, and only more than 10,000 ordinary infantry.

In comparison, although the total number of troops in the Western Liang army exceeded that of the Wuwei army and had 20,000 more troops, the Western Liang army did not have an advantage when the two armies were close to each other.

The art of war has something to say: the time is not as good as the place.

In plain combat, combat cavalry is the king. Faced with iron cavalry, it is difficult for infantry to fight against it. The combat power of a cavalry is at least equivalent to three infantry. Or four, five are also possible, or even more. Therefore, since ancient times, in battle on the battlefield and head-on decisive battle, the battle cavalry is the key to determining the outcome.

In this decisive battle in the southern suburbs, the strength gap between the two armies was very small, almost equal. The main force of the Xiliang army was 50,000 Huben camp. The main force of the Wuwei army was 60,000 Wuwei cavalry, and the remaining 110,000 Xiliang infantry fought against 80,000 Wuwei army. If the cavalry of both sides fought against the cavalry, the infantry army fought against the infantry, and head-on battle, the result was very likely that the Xiliang army would win. Because the brave name of Xiliang Huben camp was so powerful that its combat power should not be underestimated. The 60,000 Wuwei cavalry was 60,000 Wuwei cavalry

It is likely that it is not the opponent of the Huben Camp. Once the Western Liang Iron Cavalry defeats the Wuwei Iron Cavalry, then there is no suspense in the victory or defeat of this battle, and the final winner will be the Western Liang Army. After all, the Western Liang Army has a deep foundation and has been fighting on the battlefield for many years. Whether it is the cavalry or the infantry, they are always victorious troops that have been through the battlefield for a long time. In comparison, although the Wuwei Army is also an elite army, it is a new army. The experience of fighting in battle formations is still slightly inferior to the Western Liang Army. After all, the foundation is too shallow and the foundation is insufficient.

However, one thing is certain. That is, no matter who wins this battle, it will be a tragic victory. Killing 100,000 enemies will cause more than half of your own losses, and losing both sides will inevitably be hurt. This is the cruel iron law of war.

For such an ending, Li Jue and Li Li, the head coach of the two armies, had predicted in advance. It is precisely because of this that Li Jue was very sure that the Western Liang army would win in this battle. He was full of confidence in the combat power of the Western Liang army under his command. He firmly believed that the Western Liang army would definitely not lose to the Wuwei army in the head-on decisive battle.

Compared with Li Jue's confidence, Li Li, the commander of the Wuwei Army, made sufficient preparations before the battle, repeatedly deduced the lengths and pros and cons of the two armies, and finally formulated the tactics of the two yin and three phase formations. He fought hard to fight for strength, whether it was the war cavalry or the infantry. The Wuwei Army was slightly inferior to the Xiliang Army and was likely to eventually lose. However, the Wuwei Army also had some advantages, that is, the number of war cavalry exceeded that of the Xiliang Army. In addition, the Wuwei Army also had an advantage that was the most obvious but most easily overlooked advantage, which was the ownership of command.

Command, the absolute command power owned by the commander of the first army, and the unified order. On the surface, the commander of the Xiliang Army was Li Jue, but in fact it was not. There were many generals in Xiliang, Guo Si, Duan Wei, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou and others each had their own troops, while Li Jue and Guo Si had always joined forces, and they had the most troops and suppressed other generals. Therefore, they became the main generals of the Xiliang Army. However, Duan Wei, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou and others had no affiliation with Li Guo and Guo, and they were not trained by them.

The promoted generals were forced to surrender to the two of them due to the situation. Their relationship was very delicate, similar to a cooperative relationship, but they were guarded against each other, for fear of being murdered by others and annexed the army. This relationship, which is both cooperative and guarded, is extremely fragile, and it is just a weak opponent. It rushes forward and is unstoppable; if they meet a strong opponent and the battle is in a stalemate, they will have strange intentions and try every means to protect their troops, and the result will be unimaginable.

Compared with the interest combination system of the Western Liang army, the Wuwei army is not like that. The Wuwei army has only one commander from bottom to top, which is Li Li. The entire army has a unified order and unified dispatch. All thousands of generals in the army are under Li Li's command. With the order, no one dares to refuse. If you want to fight, you will fight, and if you want to retreat, you will retreat. Even if you deprive a general of all military power, you will be killed or cut off, it is just a matter of one sentence, no one dares to resist.

Because of this, the two armies launched a full-scale attack, and the speed of the Wuwei Army's dispatch of troops was far higher than that of the Xiliang Army. On the commander's platform, Jia Xu raised his order flag and waved it. The entire army moved according to the order, and attacked like an arrow leaving the string.

———————————————

"Boom boom boom!"

Hundreds of thousands of war horses galloped and the sound of horse hooves was earth-shaking.

"kill---"

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the two armies rushed towards each other, with wars trembling and shouts of killing shocked all directions.

"Roar!" As the ferocious beast roared, Huan Fei, deputy commander of Feixiong Camp, rode the golden beast with a horse, and held a round shield in his left hand to block the arrows shot towards him. He held two feet of wolf teeth in his right hand to break through the sky, and rushed into the left wing infantry of the Western Liang Army fiercely and fiercely.

"Bang bang bang!" Wherever the wolf-tooth hammer went, dozens of Xiliang infantry suddenly bloomed like behind-the-scenes, with brains splashing everywhere, snow mist filling, and the flesh of the remaining limbs scattered in the air. Huan Fei, the left-wing army formation that was originally lined up to meet, broke a gap by Huan Fei, and the golden beast was like a piece of naked ground within three feet of the golden beast. The long spear formation with a long spear could not stop the heavy armor, and Huan Fei, who was under the seat, rushed. With the huge force and rapid attack speed, the wolf-tooth hammer could not control the hammer in Huan Fei's palm. They either broke in the waist or flew out of their hands to the sky, and then the wolf-tooth hammer echoed a blow. The infantry soldiers without any power to fight back were broken in an instant, and the flesh and blood were floating in the air with the broken limbs and arms.

Huan Fei's power is unstoppable, and wherever the golden horse mount goes, blood is everywhere, and it is invincible.

Following Huan Fei, 30,000 Wuwei Iron Cavalry. Ten thousand flying bear heavy armored cavalry led by Dong Yue and Huan Fei were charged forward. Yin Fei, Tie Fei and Tie Xiao and other three generals led 5,000 iron cavalry in the headquarters immediately followed, and the rear formation was followed by more than 700 double-horse chariots. This cavalry was headed by Xu Rong, who was in the center and commanded the various units to rush to the left wing of the Western Liang Army.

The right wing corresponding to Xu Rong's troops was 30,000 iron cavalry led by Bo Cai. This cavalry did not have heavy armored cavalry, but concentrated the most brave and powerful generals of the Wuwei Army, including Dian Wei, Teng Yu, Tarusu, Ma Chao, Pang De and Tietuo, and each led 5,000 iron cavalry to charge the formation of the headquarters. The right wing formation of the Xiliang Army they faced was 40,000 infantry led by Fan Chou. The cavalry of Bo Cai's troops did not have the divine beast mounts like Huan Fei, and there was no unparalleled general. However, the six cavalry led by him were indeed the most elite cavalry of the Wuwei Army. The 30,000 war cavalry were all Wuwei cavalry, and there was no Xiliang surrendered troops. Therefore, this cavalry was the veritable Wuwei Iron Cavalry, and the entire army was composed of local Wuwei cavalry such as Xiu Tu Camp, Pegasus Camp and Qinglong Camp. The combat power was extremely strong.

"kill---"

The iron hoofs rushes and rushes, and the shouts of killing are like thunder roaring, thundering the sky, rushing into the Western Liang army formation at a speed that is hard to find in the naked eye. Suddenly, the two armies met in close contact and the killing began immediately.

On the left wing, the flying bear heavy armored cavalry rushed along the gap of the military formation that Huan Fei broke. Five thousand heavy armored cavalry rushed into the 40,000 Xiliang infantry, like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep, rushing wildly and unstoppable. The clanging iron cavalry came like a flood of floods and beasts. The left wing military formation in Xiliang was originally 40,000 infantry and cavalry led by Duan Wei, but Duan Wei was defeated and surrendered to the Wuwei army, and Li Meng temporarily took over the left wing infantry.

This is a typical change of generals in the last battle, which is a taboo in military strategists and is not done by wise men.

However, Duan Wei was captured, and the entire army had no leader. Li Meng had to take over the left-wing troops. Facing the fiercely attacking Wuwei Iron Cavalry, looking at the flying bear heavy armored cavalry charging forward, Li Meng was frightened and shocked. He never dreamed that one day he would lead the infantry to fight Dong Zhuo's personal guard camp Feixiong soldiers. Is this true? It's too ridiculous?

Others may not know how powerful the Feixiong soldiers around Dong Zhuo were, but Li Meng knew very well. This heavily armored cavalry was an invincible combat cavalry built by a large amount of money. The war horses were the best and most loyal Tiger Ben men selected from the entire army several times. The armor and weapons were the most exquisite weapons of the entire Xiliang Army. Dong Yue, the commander of the Feixiong Army, was even more famous for his courage to fight tough battles and both civil and military. The Dong family Shier, who has been leading the Feixiong Army for seven years, has never been defeated since the war. Although the number of Feixiong soldiers under his command was less than 20,000, it was the first invincible combat cavalry in the entire Xiliang Army. He has made great achievements and is the most powerful war cavalry in the entire Xiliang Army.

For a long time, Dong Zhuo assigned almost all the troops in his hands to command the generals of the army. Only Feixiong Bing was always in charge, and he was always in charge of it sooner or later. Dong Yue, the commander of Feixiong Bing, Dong Yue, is his nephew. Dong Yue, Dong Min and Dong Huang are his nephews, which are equivalent to fake sons, and are Dong Zhuo's most trusted generals and relatives. The weight of these three nephews in Dong Zhuo's mind is even higher than that of Li Ru and Li Li. Therefore, although Dong Zhuo was very favored by Lu Buen during his lifetime, he never handed over the Feixiong Bing to Lu Bu to take over, and handed over the Feixiong Bing to Dong Yue until now. It can be seen that Dong Zhuo's trust in Dong Yue is of great importance, and Dong Yue's ability to govern the army and his own strength are definitely extraordinary, and he must have outstanding advantages.

Watching Dong Yue lead the Feixiong Heavy Armored Cavalry to rush into the left wing army formation, Li Meng was willing to lead the troops to resist, but he was powerless. The infantry was innately at a disadvantage in fighting the cavalry and it was difficult to resist the powerful impact and lethality of the cavalry. Even ordinary light cavalry, the infantry could not resist, let alone the famous Feixiong Heavy Armored Cavalry.

Facing the sweeping heavy armored cavalry, Li Meng fought and retreated, and then rode his horse to the rear formation, trying to organize a chariot formation and a giant shield formation to resist the charge of the heavy armored cavalry. He thought in his mind that as long as he could block the speed of the heavy armored cavalry's charge and reduce their impact, the tens of thousands of infantry under his command might still have a chance to win, at least not defeated.

I have to say that Li Meng is also an excellent commander. He is very thoughtful, tough by nature, and has good ability to adapt to the situation. But he made a mistake in his busy schedule and ignored a fatal point, that is, the left-wing soldiers were not his headquarters, but Duan Wei's troops.

Where is Duan Wei now?

Duan Wei had already surrendered to the Wuwei army. Moreover, he did not surrender secretly, but surrendered to Li Li in front of the two armies, in front of the tens of thousands of soldiers in front of the front.

Duan Wei surrendered to Li Li and joined the Wuwei army. As his troops, where should nearly 30,000 Huayin soldiers go? The main general surrendered, and tens of thousands of war cavalry came towards him. The result was self-evident. In addition, the temporary left wing general Li Meng retreated in front of the battle. Although Li Meng's original intention was to go to the rear army to stabilize the position, the left wing soldiers did not know what he was going to do. Everyone subconsciously thought that he was timid and escaped in the battle. The main general Duan Wei surrendered, and the temporary main general Li Meng ran away again. How could he fight this battle? What else would he fight?

Let’s transfer the strategy, it will be too late!

So, less than a quarter of an hour after Xu Rong led his troops to the left wing of Western Liang, more than 10,000 infantrymen of the left wing army resisted and fled in all directions. The impact of this infantry escaped was huge, to the point of unimaginable. It didn't matter if they fled in all directions. The fatal thing was that they exposed the entire left wing army formation under the Wuwei Iron Cavalry, as if giving up a smooth road to the Wuwei Iron Cavalry. The road ahead was without any obstacles, so that the Wuwei Iron Cavalry's troops could directly attack the left wing central army, which was quite tempting to attack the yellow dragon. In addition, when the front army collapsed, more than 10,000 soldiers under Duan Wei were not willing to resist. Taking advantage of the time when the Wuwei Iron Cavalry had not yet arrived, they threw down their battle flags and weapons, and fled to the west hills.

Suddenly, two soldiers fled without fighting, sweeping away nearly 30,000 soldiers. As a result, there were only more than 10,000 infantry left in the entire left wing army, which was almost collapsed and could not resist the increasingly high morale of the Wuwei Iron Cavalry. The collapse of the left wing of the Western Liang Army was a foregone conclusion, and it was only a matter of time.—————— (To be continued)
