Standing on the top of the East Mountain, looking down at the foot of the mountain.~~~23wx~ But I saw flags flying, soldiers and horses galloping, and the scene was spectacular. The dense war cavalry rushed, galloping like mercury, shocking people's hearts. The war horses resounding through the sky neighed, the clanging sound of soldiers and soldiers, the loud and shrill screams, and the earth-shaking sound of horse hooves, interlaced into a net, drawing the huge bloody picture of Wolf Mountain in front of me.

The war horses ran wildly and roared, and the swords were bloodthirsty. The dense rain-like arrows ran across the sky, pulling a black veil covering the clouds and the sun was opened in the wilderness; the long sword was filled with blood, and the blood mist was filled with sparse colors. It was painted with bright red colors by one touch after another, blending with the steaming airflow in the air, slowly rising, covering the entire wilderness, and spreading in every corner of Bailang Mountain.

Looking down at the bloody mist slowly rising at the foot of the mountain, Li Li's expression was calm, and the ancient well was on his face, and there was no trace of emotional fluctuation, as if he was stunned or cold, his body was motionless, as stable as a rock.

Zhuge Liang and Tian Yu, who were standing beside him, saw such a shocking scene, their eyes widened instantly, their expressions were dull for a moment, and a strong sense of unbearance flashed in their pupils. Then they couldn't help but turn their heads and try their best to calm down. After a while, they bit the bullet and turned their eyes to the battlefield again. This is their duty, and they always observe changes in the battlefield; once they find that the situation has changed, adjust their strategies immediately, and the five hundred personal soldiers around them are the commanders who issued orders.

In order to strengthen the attack power of the Central Army's combat cavalry, Li Li sent Li Zhi, the commander of the Jinqi Guard, who had been with him, to the battlefield. There were 300 Golden Armored Teams who followed him to fight. The Golden Armored Teams were the core force to defend Li Li's safety. They were all dead soldiers trained by Li Zhi himself. If they were placed in the army, they were at least powerful generals above the garrison commander. In addition, they were well-equipped with golden armor that was hard to find. They were equipped with famous Xiliang horses, and their combat power was unprecedentedly powerful. Although they did not have the courage of ten thousand men, they all had a strong combat power of one hundred.

Li Zhi led the Golden Armored Team to attack with the army, which was to implement the beheading plan. Under the Central Army Commander Tadun, the head of the barbarian army, there were at least nearly a hundred barbarian tribe leaders gathered. The strength of these tribe leaders was different, and their tribes were large and small, but without exception they were all leaders of the barbarian army. Among them, the Wuhuan "Daishanyu" Tadun was the soul of the entire barbarian army, and he was also the most important target of Li Zhi's trip.

In the battle of Lu Longsai, these barbarian leaders escaped from the battlefield as soon as possible. They escaped by luck, and the barbarian troops were defeated but not defeated. They still had the ability to gather the army again to avenge their previous shame. This time, Li Li learned from the lessons of the last battle. At the beginning of the war, he focused on these barbarian leaders. This time it was so easy for them to escape again.

It is worth mentioning that Li Li, who had always been warlike, did not participate in the war for the first time, but took Kong Ming and Tian Yu to the top of Bailang Mountain and watched the battle from a high place. This is exactly in line with Li Li's unconventional style of conduct. When others think that he would personally lead the army to charge, he would not appear on the battlefield; just as the princes of the Central Plains thought that he would not let go of the battle situation in the Central Plains and personally led the army to fight eastward, he went the other way, but appeared on the battlefield in Youzhou.

This is Li Li of Xiliang. A person who is never influenced by others, a person who takes care of both rationality and emotion. At the same time, he is also a arrogant and domineering iron-blooded overlord.

Looking from a distance, the large-scale battle of nearly 300,000 people in front of him was undoubtedly an unprecedentedly shocking bloody scene for the fledgling Zhuge Liang and Tian Yu who was appointed for the first time. However, all this was no longer new to Li Li, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is commonplace.

Thinking of the Chang'an Rebellion, the Battle of Xiliang, the Northern Expedition in Fuluo, the subsequent Battle of Sili, the Battle of Hanzhong, the Battle of Lulongsai not long ago, and the Battle of Bailang Mountain in front of him, almost every battle of hundreds of thousands of people. In the seven years since the rebellion, Li Li has experienced a large-scale war personally commanded by himself, which is an average of one battle every year, so to this day, his nerves have been tempered to be extremely tough, and he can be as stable as Mount Tai anytime and anywhere.

Just as Li Li, Zhuge Liang and Tian Yu climbed up to look down, Shi A, who followed the left and right, looked around the top of the mountain, quietly climbed up a pine tree more than ten feet tall on the west side of the mountain, and took a very distinct wooden cage from the pine needle branch that was not penetrated. The cage was open, with three gray pigeons inside. At this moment, a roll of oil-soaked letters were tied to the legs of the pigeons.

After taking off the letter and silk, Shi A put the pigeons in the cage, then quickly ran to Li Li and handed the letter and silk in his hand to Li Li one by one. The reason why they submitted it in turn was because the three pigeons had special marks, which represented the order.

If Li Zhi was here, he would definitely demolish and then report to Li Li, and he would explain it clearly in a few words, because Li Zhi was in charge of the intelligence organization. But Shi A had no power. At least where these pigeons came from, Shi A had no way to know, but Li Li must know. Perhaps he came to the top of the mountain this time.

Li Li took the letter and opened it in turn. After reading it, he kneaded the letter and threw it to Shi Ah. Shi Ah immediately understood and squatted in the shelter to burn the letter and then stood behind Li Li waiting for the order.

Li Li stood proudly on the stone cliff at the highest point on the top of the mountain. After pondering for a while, he said in a low tone: "At the beginning of the You hour, we surrounded the barbarian army on the eastern foot of Bailang Mountain."

After hearing this, Shi A repeated it softly. Li Li nodded slightly, and then he waved his hand to signal Shi Asu to send the message. Shi A bent back and retreated. Soon after, he saw two carrier pigeons flying, one flying north and the other flying east. There was still a carrier pigeon left in the cage and was handed over to a personal soldier by Shi A, who followed Shi A with a cage, standing behind Li Li on the left and right.

Zhuge Liang and Tian Yu all saw this scene, but they didn't ask much. They would know what they should know sooner or later, and would never ask about what they shouldn't know, so that they would do it wisely.

Half an hour later, the sky above the battlefield at the foot of the mountain was covered with dust, completely covered by bloody fog and dust. It was no longer clear to look down from a high place. Then, Li Li led everyone down the mountain quickly, put on armor, and went to the battlefield in person.

After an hour of rushing and fighting, the two armies on the battlefield in the wilderness on the eastern foothills had entered a fierce battle, or in other words, the decisive battle was a desperate battle, but now it is getting more and more intense, and the battle is in full swing.

Li Li, wearing a dark red battle robe and a golden armor, stopped at the foot of Dongshan Mountain by carving a Hualiu horse, and stared at the fierce fighting in front of him with a cold expression. Zhuge Liang and Tian Yu, who followed him down the mountain, remained in the rear formation, and were protected by tens of thousands of giant shield and spearmen around, safe.

In the not-so-wide wilderness, more than 200,000 combat cavalry of the two armies were crowded together, war horses collided, swords were released, broken arms were visible everywhere, blood flowed everywhere, and the battlefield was filled with bloody aura like substance, which was suffocating.

In just one hour, the two armies rushed to the battlefield, and tens of thousands of soldiers had been killed in the battle of 60,000 Han army cavalry (including the 20,000 Xianbei cavalry led by Kebineng). This number continued to increase as the battle became more and more intense, and it was rising sharply every minute and every second, changing from time to time. In contrast, the number of soldiers killed in the barbarian army was nearly four times that of the Han army. As far as we can see, the casualties were no less than 40,000.

This does not mean that the Han army soldiers can fight four, but that half of the nearly 160,000 barbarians are ordinary men in the barbarian tribe. Among them are not only half-aged children but also nearly fifty-year-olds. However, they are all holding weapons, riding war horses, and following the tribal generals to the battlefield. When they go to the battlefield, they are soldiers. There is no mercy on the battlefield. Life and death are all in their destiny. They are not as good as humans. Those who are waiting for them are death.

At this moment, the entire battlefield was full of war cavalry charges and fighting. All war cavalry were concentrated in the center of the battlefield. The soldiers of the two armies advanced without retreating, and they would not give in and fight for the slightest. Every step forward had to pay the price of bleeding. Every step back meant death. Hundreds of thousands of war horses collided head-on, and the soldiers on the horses fought desperately and moved forward bravely. The neighs, screams, and red lights were exchanged for the tragic screams of death, the dazzling array of flesh and blood corpses, as well as incomplete limbs and the wailing of struggle.

This is a slaughterhouse made of war, blood and fire. The strong prey on the weak. Only the strong can survive, and only the brave can have hope of continuing to survive.

In the rear of the two armies, tens of thousands of barbarians opened their bows and shot, either accurately or thrown into the air, and their arrows rushed straight to the rear formation of the Han army's war cavalry. The infantry behind the Han army set up crossbows, and shot over long distances to shoot the war cavalry in the rear formation of the barbarian army, and the archers also shot accurately. Therefore, 30% of the fallen soldiers of the two armies died under the shooting of the archers of the two armies. In comparison, the Han army's crossbows had a longer range, greater lethality, and sufficient arrows, which had an absolute advantage.

Bows and crossbows have always been a great weapon for the Western Liang army to fight, and all the soldiers are archers, and the war cavalry is no exception. Therefore, the barbarian army, who is good at archery and horses, wants to take advantage of the Western Liang army, undoubtedly find the wrong partner and hit the tough one.

Although the battle situation was fierce and stalemate, the strength of the Han army was still irreparable. The three left, middle and right cavalry were all under the siege of the barbarian army, and the situation was very unfavorable and could resist the attack of the barbarian army in the short term. However, as the casualties continued to increase, over time, it would be difficult to stop the barbarian army's fierce rush. Even so, if there were not many bows and crossbows in the rear of the Han army and the formation was weaving into a large array of arrows that were not penetrated through the seams, the barbarian army would have already rushed to the rear and massacred infantry.

Seeing that the battle was not good, Zhuge Liang and Tian Yu looked at each other, their expressions becoming more and more serious, and they all turned their eyes to the proudly standing figure on the back of the Hualiu horse.
