【Chapter 323】The end of the blood of the setting sun
"Hao!"
Now that time is tight, the Jin-Ji defense battle is in danger, Li Zhi has no time to fight against Hu Zheng.
But when he saw him tightening the chain, he suddenly roared and instantly gave up competing with Hu Zheng. His body quickly flipped along the chain on his left hand, wrapping the iron chain more than two feet long around his body. Taking advantage of Hu Zheng's surprise attack, he quickly approached, kicked the side with his left foot, and kicked Hu Zheng's right wrist.
"Hmph!" What Li Zhi didn't expect was that Hu Zheng had a strong ability to adapt to the situation. Just as he kicked his left foot, Hu Zheng suddenly took a big step forward, knocking away Li Zhi's left leg kicked sideways, breaking Li Zhi's attack again.
However, although Hu Zheng protected his right wrist, he still got a firm kick on his left back, which made him snort coldly in pain.
"Wow!"
Enduring the pain on his back, Hu Zheng's short axe with his right hand suddenly turned and instantly released Li Zhi's left-hand iron chain. Immediately, he turned his body and the short-handed Zhan Yue on his right hand slashed towards Li Zhi who was close to fighting. This turn and axe chop was extremely fast, and it was completed in one go with his previous big step, with great force; if axe hit Li Zhi, it would be enough to split him in half.
The opposing Yue in Hu Zheng's hand is both a short weapon and a heavy weapon, and he is also a purely fierce soldier and has no mount. Therefore, close-fitting and melee combat is his best fighting technique. He is agile and extremely agile. Every attack has a thousand pounds of force and is unstoppable.
Coincidentally.
Li Zhi himself is not good at cavalry fighting, and is also a person who is good at hiking fighting.
At the critical moment, Li Zhi pulled his left hand hard, causing Hu Zhen's left hand to lift up. Suddenly, the right axe blade cut on the left hand short axe, which was equivalent to killing each other with his right hand. Li Zhi took the opportunity to shake the chain and break free from the triangular iron cone at the bottom of Hu Zheng's right short axe. He then took a few steps back to widen the distance from Hu Zheng, and the two chains in his hand were all taken back.
On the other hand, Hu Zheng suffered a bad consequence, hitting his left hand with his right hand, causing the tiger's mouth to collapse and blood to flow. With a single axe, he not only failed to cut Li Zhi, but instead injured himself, and the short fu in his left hand almost escaped.
Li Zhi, who retracted the chains, launched another attack. This time he came prepared. He didn't know that Hu Zheng used the strange double axe weapon, so he took action rashly, but was caught by the triangular iron cone on Hu Zheng's axe and could not break free. This time he would never repeat the same mistake and failed again.
"Swish!" An iron chain rolled up dust on the ground and whistled in, thrusting towards Hu Zheng's legs like lightning.
This time, Hu Zheng was in trouble.
He could only jump up and avoid the thrust of the chains, but could not fight back because his weapons were not long enough to hit Li Zhi at all. However, he did not just dodge, but instead approached Li Zhi again by jumping, trying to narrow the distance between both sides so as not to be beaten everywhere and have no power to fight back.
While Hu Zheng was jumping, another chain in Li Zhi's hand came out in an uproar and pulled Hu Zheng's lower abdomen into the air. This position was very low, so it was definitely difficult for Hu Zheng to use the iron cone on the short axe to hook the iron chain.
"clang!"
The one-handed axe blocked downwards, sweeping Li Zhi's iron chain, and Hu Zheng took advantage of the opportunity to flip sideways. The short axe with his right hand suddenly threw it out and slashed towards Li Zhi's chest.
The flying axe skill is unexpectedly concealed, throwing it suddenly, and killing with one blow.
"Good come!" Li Zhi shouted loudly when he saw the flying axe flying towards him. However, his tall and thin body suddenly turned around on the spot at this moment, and he narrowly avoided the axe blade of the flying axe, lifted his foot and kicked the short pole of the short axe, and kicked the flying axe into the sky.
Immediately, just as Li Zhi stood firm again, the two chains on his wrist were thrown out at the same time, thrusting towards Hu Zheng's legs one after another.
This time, Hu Zheng avoided the iron chain that was sticking to the ground, but failed to avoid the iron chain that was pulling towards his thighs at the same time. He was suddenly wrapped around his left leg by Li Zhi's right chain.
In an instant, Li Zhi did not wait for Hu Zheng to land, and his arms were combined and waved his arms. The iron chain of his right hand tightly wrapped around Hu Zheng's left leg, and put his body upside down in the air, causing him to not be able to use even if he had a thousand pounds of force. The only short axe in his hand was also useless.
"Go!" With Li Zhi's low shout, Hu Zheng, who had his four legs in the air, was thrown hard towards the flagpole of the Xiliang Shuai Banner.
"Bang!"
"Crack—————————————————————”
Under the strong force, Hu Zheng's body flying across the air hit the flagpole heavily and knocked a soldier guarding the flag. In an instant, the flagpole with a thick wrist was broken by Hu Zheng in the waist. With a crisp creaking sound, the Xiliang Army's flag that was originally floating high fell down.
"Tada!"
Just as the battle flag was about to land, a thin figure rose up and caught the broken Xiliang army commander flag in the air. Just as he was carrying the coaching flag, the dragon scale bull beast rushed away the heavily encircled Xiliang war cavalry and rushed to his body. Immediately, the man fell on the back of the bull beast, and the bull beast ran wildly, rushing straight to the rear of the Xiliang army.
"Hu Zheng, remember our agreement and come to me again after the war!"
Li Zhi, who successfully won the Xiliang Supervisor Banner, fell on the back of the dragon-scaled bull beast, and did not forget to turn his head and remind Hu Zheng who fell to the ground.
Obviously, although Hu Zheng failed to retain the Xiliang Army's commander flag, his strength was recognized by Li Zhi.
In the short confrontation just now, Li Zhi and Hu Zheng played a total of eight rounds, which was very close to the ten rounds mentioned by Li Zhi. However, Li Zhi never judged the victory or loss by the round. The victory or defeat can often be seen within a few rounds, and there will be no fierce battles of dozens or hundreds of rounds. In contrast, Hu Zheng was able to fight Li Zhi for eight rounds before he was defeated, which shows that he was extremely strong and had extraordinary combat power.
Li Zhi, who was carrying the Xiliang Army's commander flag, ran quickly with the dragon scales of the bull beast. All the Xiliang warriors he encountered along the road were knocked down by him waving the flagpole. In addition, the bull beast's skin was thick and cocoons, and his body was huge. He ran wildly. Ordinary war horses were afraid that they could not resist it and could not resist it at all.
In this way, Li Zhi carried the Xiliang general flag on his shoulder and rushed out of the siege and rushed towards the Wuwei cavalry several miles away.
———————————————
"The camp lined up to meet the enemy, kill——"
Wuwei Central Army.
Just as Zhang Liao was fighting fiercely with Li Jue in front of the formation, a group of thousands of people suddenly appeared under the central general's platform. With the order of the general, the giant shield formation suddenly dispersed to both sides. Eight hundred armored infantry rushed to the front of the formation, five people in a group, not afraid of the charge of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, avoiding the impact of the war horses, and raising the shield to block the swords or spears that the cavalry swung from a high place. The others stabbed the cavalry with one shot and fell off the horse.
Although there are not many people, these 800 heavily armored soldiers have extremely skilled in fighting cavalry skills and are extremely fast to kill enemies. However, if you look closely at their killing techniques, their movements are not fast. Each person only makes one move, with five people in groups, one person in front of them disturbing the cavalry's sight, avoiding, hooking horse legs, raising shields, and assassinating. If one person makes a mistake, then the avoiding one takes the opportunity to make up for it. The whole set of techniques is completed in one go, and it is skillful in cooperation. It is impeccable.
The eight hundred heavy armored infantry naturally could not stop the rush of tens of thousands of Western Liang cavalry. However, the heavy armored soldiers did not fight alone. They just occupied a small area between the giant shield formations and killed and injured the Xiliang war cavalry in large numbers. The other Western Liang war cavalry had Wuwei giant shield soldiers to resist.
The arrival of these eight hundred heavy armored soldiers immediately made Zhang Liao feel relieved. He was too familiar with this heavy armored soldiers, with absolutely strong combat power and was definitely the king of infantry. With these eight hundred heavy armored soldiers alone, he could defend the central army's commander flag for half an hour. As long as these eight hundred people were not dead, the Xiliang army would not want to take away the commander flag.
This heavy armored soldier is the ace army under Lu Bu's command - the trap camp. This soldier and horse have followed Lu Bu for many years and have made great achievements. Their achievements are still above the Wolf Cavalry Army. Unfortunately, the generals who trained this heavy armored infantry were not favored by Lu Bu, and even made Lu Bu disgusted. Therefore, this soldier and horse have not been expanded and there is no sufficient food and salary support. It has been maintained at about 800 people for many years.
The commander of this heavy armored soldier is Gao Shun, who has been missing for a long time.
In the former Lu Bu army, there were only a few generals who could really make Zhang Liao have a good friend. Only Cao Xing and Gao Shun, and Gao Shun was the one he respected. However, after the Battle of Ba River, Gao Shun disappeared and had not appeared for several months, and it was unknown. Although Zhang Liao speculated that Gao Shun was most likely to be hiding in the Wuwei army. Some soldiers of the Wolf Cavalry Army also saw Gao Shun being captured by Li Li with their own eyes, Li Li claimed to the public that he had never seen Gao Shun. So Gao Shun disappeared inexplicably, without seeing anyone in his life and without seeing a corpse.
"General Zhang Liao, please retreat and rest for a while, and wait for someone to fight him!"
Just as Zhang Liao and Li Jue fought for more than 40 rounds, the general who had previously issued orders to the soldiers of the trap camp jumped out of the formation and swung his sword to kill Li Jue.
"Jin Gu?" Zhang Liao had not been in the long run for the Wuwei Army, and he did not recognize half of the generals in the army. However, he would never forget the person of Jin Gu for the rest of his life. The invincible Lu Bu was destroyed by one of his left hand in the hands of Jin Gu. How could Zhang Liao, one of the witnesses, forget about such a famous thing?
"You,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
On the way back to the formation, Zhang Liao turned his head and glanced, and happened to see the scene of the Xiliang Army's general flag falling. Suddenly, a burst of ecstasy surged into his heart. He immediately turned around and rushed to the front of the formation again, shouting to Li Jue: "Look at General, your central commander flag has been lost, and the Xiliang Army has been defeated!"
"Nonsense! I, general,,,,,,,," Li Jue was furious when he heard this and sternly scolded Zhang Liao.
However, when he looked back at the Central Army General Flag, his swearing came to an abrupt end because his Central Army General Flag was really gone.
"This,,,,,,," Blinked and carefully searched for his handsome flag, but couldn't find it. Li Jie's expression suddenly changed and he couldn't speak in shock.
"The battle situation has been decided, do General Li Jue agree?" Just as Li Jue's face was red and unstable, Jia Xu rode a horse and asked.
Seeing that Li Jue's face changed and could not accept this fact for a while, Jia Xu continued: "What if the general wins the general's flag, the general's own flag is lost. In this way, will our two armies fight another battle? Moreover, it is not easy for the general to seize the general's flag at this time. The general's soldiers saw that the general's flag had been lost, and the morale of the army was unstable. The combat power can be imagined. In order to preserve the strength of our Xiliang army and avoid unnecessary casualties, and for the stability of the overall situation of the people of the world and the Chang'an court, you and our army immediately called out the gold and retreated their troops! I wonder what the general wanted?"
Li Jue's heart was irritated at this time, and all kinds of thoughts surged into his heart. For a moment, he was in a daze and was unsteady. Even his body sitting on the back of a horse was shaking. If the sword had not been inserted into the ground and supported his body, he would have almost fallen into the horse.
I lost my defeat, and I have been fighting hard until now. Seeing that the victory is in sight, the coaching flag is lost, and I am inexplicably defeated!
How could Li Jue, who was highly regarded, accept this? At this point, the two armies fought, and tens of thousands of soldiers and even 100,000 soldiers were sprinkled on the battlefield, but in the end, the Xiliang army was defeated. How could he feel?
Jia Xu stared at Li Jue with his eyes and said, "The general and my lord are originally close uncles and nephews, and they are connected with blood. It is a must to get to the land of today. For half a month, my lord has been worried and always felt sorry for the general, and he blamed himself. He became sick because of this. The lord couldn't afford to get sick and stayed in bed for more than ten days before he got better. Before this battle, someone in the army suggested that the lord use the beheading tactic to fight the general. The lord was furious about this, and he beat the man to the end, demoted him to a commoner, and never hired him. When the two armies were fighting, why did my lord let the Wuwei cavalry attack.
On both wings, because those soldiers are not the general's direct line, no matter who wins and loses in this battle, the winning side can quickly control the entire army. At this point, the soldiers of the two armies suffered huge casualties for this. At this time, the situation of the war has been decided. What is the general hesitating? Do you have to wait until the Xiliang army is completely destroyed before the general will give up? If so, my lord certainly has to bear the name of unrighteousness and filial piety, but the general is already alone, so what is the face of living alone? Please make a decision quickly. If he hesitates for a moment, thousands of soldiers will die. How can the general bear it?"
Jia Xu's words were all typing on Li Jue's heart, causing him to dodge his eyes and a clear look of shame appeared on his face. Then, he lifted his sword powerlessly and shouted in a stern manner: "Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, our army will be defeated in this battle—————”
"Ding Ding Ding!"
"Ding Ding Ding——"
Suddenly, Wang Fang, the central army of the Xiliang army, immediately rang out the golden sound, and the central army of Wuwei followed the golden sound. Suddenly, the crisp sound of gold spread around, and then floated in the wilderness that cost dozens of miles.
Amid the melodious sound of gold, the battle on the battlefield within a radius of ten miles came to an abrupt end. The sword was sheathed, and countless surviving soldiers cried happily. Then the soldiers of the two armies returned to their central army. Many familiar soldiers supported the wounded soldiers without distinction and slowly gathered towards the central battlefield.
At this moment, the fight quietly disappeared, and only the strong smell of blood filled the wilderness, and the blood was soaked in this mud.
