Chapter 859: Four-sided siege
Chapter 859: Four-sided siege
"Are you a human or a ghost? Are you a human or a ghost?"
Many soldiers trembled at Li Cunxi's brutality and dared not get close.
But they didn't get close to Li Cunxi, but Li Cunxi had to get close to them.
After the mixed green horse stood steadily, it stretched out its hooves and kicked the sword and shield soldier in front of it away. Li Cunxi followed up with a kick, and with a flash of cold light, the sword and shield soldier was smashed into a meat pie alive. The head was flattened and smashed into the chest cavity.
The situation of the rear army was soon reported to Li Xiaoyi, who was commanding the army at the front.
Li Xiaoyi was horrified after hearing this: "Holding the phoenix-wing gilded hammer, he disrupted the entire rear army with his own strength?"
"Why didn't anyone kill him? What do you do for a living?"
The battle against Zuo Weiwei in the front has reached a critical moment. If the army behind is in chaos, what will happen in this battle?
"Hurry up and send a message to the rear army. Kill him no matter what!"
When the news reached the rear army, Hu Jinghui, Li Yuanfang and Gao Sheji also led 3,500 cavalrymen to charge into the rear army.
Li Cunxi, fighting alone, adopted a tactic called a reckless charge. He would charge out from one direction and then charge back from another angle.
No matter what, just don't turn.
After just one round of slaughter, the rear army of only 5,000 people was killed, leaving only more than 3,000 combat-ready soldiers. The rest were either dead or had fallen to the ground, with no possibility of getting up and fighting.
With the addition of Hu Jinghui, Li Yuanfang and Gao Sheji, the rear army's 5,000 infantrymen had no room to fight back. After just two charges, only a few of the 5,000 rear army soldiers were able to stand upright.
Hu Jinghui was already charging forward. Looking at the remaining Eagle Guard rear guards, he immediately kicked his horse's belly, raised his five-clawed flying hook spear, and roared:
"Thieves, die!!!"
His loud shout was like a bolt from the blue, frightening the remaining Eagle Guard soldiers so much that they knelt down and surrendered on the spot.
The soldiers threw away their armor and weapons, cried bitterly, and knelt down to kowtow.
"We surrender, we surrender, we surrender!!!"
"Don't kill me! I have an 80-year-old father and mother above me, and a three-year-old child below me. My brother is already dead. If I die, my family will be ruined!"
"Woo woo woo woo, I surrender, I surrender, I don't want to fight anymore!"
"Do not kill me!"
The soldiers begged for mercy frantically, but it was of no avail. Hu Jinghui's five-clawed flying hook and sickle spear had arrived. He stabbed out with force, killing one person first. The tip of the spear went through the body and pierced the soldier's heart.
The soldier vomited blood and stared with wide eyes, as if he had not expected that when he was about to surrender, this man actually stabbed him to death with a single shot.
"I don't agree to your surrender!"
Hu Jinghui roared angrily, and the horse under his crotch ran faster. The tip of the five-clawed flying hook sickle spear pointed forward, hanging the corpse of the soldier and continued to move forward.
The tip of the gun pierced into the abdomen of a soldier again and came out through the body.
The next soldier followed, the tip of the gun piercing the left chest.
The last soldier's eyes almost popped out of his head in pain. He wanted to say something, but no words came out. Blood oozed from the corner of his mouth and dripped down his chin onto his shirt.
"kill!"
Li Yuanfang shouted and continued to charge with the remaining cavalry.
Hu Jinghui can't take all the heads, otherwise they will just be here to watch the show.
Li Cunxi stopped his horse and did not participate in the massacre of the rear camp. Although he did not need to rest, the mixed blue horse under his crotch was very tired and definitely needed rest.
While watching Li Yuanfang, Gao Sheji and 3,500 cavalrymen snatching Hu Jinghui's head, Li Cunxi saw out of the corner of his eye a group of murderous horses coming from afar.
There were about ten thousand soldiers and horses in this group. The earth was shaking when they galloped. The flames were like a winding dragon, stretching for miles from beginning to end.
This is a cavalry.
The two leaders were Li Kaigu and Song Wuji, followed by Liu Qi and a group of cavalry generals.
After slaughtering a large number of Yingyangwei troops outside Li Xiaoyi's camp, they handed the battlefield over to the tens of thousands of troops of Zuolongwuwei, and then went south to pursue Li Xiaoyi's 30,000 troops.
Li Kaigu saw Li Yuanfang, Hu Jinghui, Gao Sheji and more than 3,000 cavalrymen from afar, and naturally he also saw Li Cunxi who was riding a tall horse to watch the show.
Li Cunxi looked like a god of death at this moment. He sat on the horse's back. Even though he was thin, he exuded a murderous aura that made people dare not approach him.
"Here it comes, pretty fast."
Li Cunxi muttered something and picked up the phoenix-wing gilded drill on the victory hook again.
"Brother Jinghui, Brother Yuanfang, reinforcements have arrived!"
"Follow me, charge into Li Xiaoyi's center army, and then attack the front army!"
……
Li Xiaoyi's army was together on the escape route, but was also divided into front, back, left, right and center. The front army where Li Xiaoyi was located had a total of 10,000 people, the largest number of people, the left and right rear armies had 5,000 people each, and the center army had 5,000 people.
The advantage of this arrangement is that when either side is attacked, there will always be someone available to provide support.
Of course, the biggest disadvantage also appeared. Even if Li Xiaoyi wanted to cut off his tail to survive or gather strength, it would be very difficult.
All the camps were attacked at the same time. Of Li Xiaoyi's 30,000-strong army, only the 5,000-man central army could provide support.
But what good are just 5,000 people?
At the beginning of the battle, Li Xiaoyi on the front line pulled out 4000 troops to help him attack the Zuoweiwei army. The remaining people were just fresh troops, but they could not change the outcome of the battlefield for either side.
At this time, the soldiers in the central army suddenly discovered that a team like a fire dragon appeared behind them, riding horses with torches in their hands. The earth was shaking, and the vibration was transmitted to these soldiers, making their hearts stop beating for a moment.
That is……
Cavalry all over the mountains!
Li Kaigu's voice came from afar: "Charge past them! I'm going to kill that bastard Li Xiaoyi!!!"
The cavalry surged in like a torrent, and in just a few breaths, they completely broke through the last thousand men in the central army.
The 3,000 cavalrymen of the Zuo Weiwei in the east, after a brutal massacre, defeated the 5,000 soldiers and horses in the east. In order to prevent these soldiers from regrouping and blocking their retreat, these cavalrymen charged eight or nine times in succession, killing these soldiers to less than a thousand.
The Zuo Longwu Guard army in the west surrounded them with tens of thousands of people. It took a little effort to kill all 5,000 Yingyang Guards.
So far, the only ones who still have the strength to fight this army are Li Xiaoyi's 14,000 soldiers and horses, but those 14,000 soldiers and horses are facing Zhang Renyuan's 50,000 Zuowei Guards.
Li Cunxi came and looked at Li Xiaoyi's front troops less than two miles away and shouted:
"Convey my order to the cavalry of the Zuowei Guard on the left wing and the soldiers of the Zuolongwu Guard on the right wing. Surround and kill Li Xiaoyi!"
