As those strong men blew the horns, the entire sleepy Xi Qi coalition army was awakened and became very energetic, because this represented the beginning of the hunt, in their eyes, the Tang army was the lamb to be slaughtered, and they were the sheep hunters who harvested these lambs.

The bridge has been erected, even if the Tang Army has reacted now, but how can they who have just woken up from their deep sleep stop these howling sheep hunters?

Even these Khitan generals gathered in the tent have already regarded them as victorious, and they are planning to hold a celebration banquet.

And Bai Quan, who was on the flagpole of the Tang Army's marshal's tent, frowned when he saw the strong men who blew the horn one by one, if it is not surprising, the charge of the Xi Qi coalition army will be launched soon, but the Tang army still has no action, it seems that they still plan to follow the original deployment and do not plan to change, so let him see what virtue and ability this Tang army can make the Tang Empire dominate such a large territory.

With the instructions given by Li Huaixiu, who got the news, the first few bridges to be erected immediately ran over the cavalry of the Xi Qi coalition army one after another, the distance of more than ten zhang is not too long, they quickly rushed to the dock of the Tang army, completed the assembly, first a squad, then a squadron, and finally a whole brigade has been stuffed on the small wharf.

Although it was slightly crowded, and there were still cavalry squeezing in on more than a dozen bridges, no one rushed to the side of the Tang army camp, for the simple reason that no one wanted to die, although Li Huaixiu had promised that once they died in battle, they would be compassionate to their relatives. But the problem is that Li Huaixiu is not the big chief of their Xi tribe, or even the enemy-like existence who assassinated their big chief, they obey Li Huaixiu only because the generals of the Xi tribe support him.

Let's not talk about whether there is a pension once they die in battle, let's just say that they themselves, even if they really have a pension and it is very high, they may not necessarily rush forward desperately, after all, if you die, then you are really dead, even if this battle is won, even if the Xi Qi coalition army went south to the Central Plains to loot and obtain a lot of money, it has nothing to do with you, but it is a person who steals his life, and can obtain great benefits, under the psychology of fear of death, no one is willing to rush forward.

Moreover, there were no generals present who could convince them, and the highest was only a commander.

Moreover, there were countless figures flickering in the Tang army camp not far away, it seemed that the Tang army had discovered their movements and began to assemble, as far as the cavalry was concerned, the distance was so close that they could all faintly hear the sound of the Tang army's armor colliding. Although many people also know that if they don't strike first, I am afraid that the Tang army will complete the deployment of defense, and the number of their casualties will rise sharply at that time, but the Xi people are not like the Khitan, they rarely fight against the Tang army, not to mention that many of the people present are skilled in bows and horses, but they are all trained in the grassland at home, most of them are fighting for the first time, and the hurdle of psychological fear cannot be easily crossed.

This made Bai Quan, who was at the commanding heights, suddenly feel a little stunned, but he didn't expect that the majestic Beiyi cavalry he had expected was just a bunch of straw bales.

This news was sent to Li Huaixiu not long ago, which made him furious, originally according to his plan, these first batch of cavalry echelons should have rushed into the Tang army camp and killed, but these guys actually shrank on the dock and the flat ground next to it, and also caused the Tang army to gather, plus the Xi generals who led the first formation were still shrinking on the shore on their side, how could this not make him angry?

"At noon, that guy drew the lot by himself, who can he blame? Send him an order, if he doesn't charge again, this battle doesn't matter if he wins or loses, after I go back, I will definitely kill the tribe he belongs to, and leave no armor!" Li Huaixiu said angrily at the herald.

His anger also spread from the herald to the Xi general, he actually received the information that the Tang army was assembling and faintly felt that he was doing something too much, Li Huaixiu's anger immediately extinguished his dissatisfied anger, and even shivered all over his body.

In desperation, this guy crossed the river with his attendants, and soon completed the cavalry of the first formation to which he belonged, and launched a charge towards the Tang army camp.

With the first formation of cavalry charging, the Tang army in ambush along the road all raised their hearts, although the other side only completed the assembly of a 10,000-person brigade, but the second formation on the bridge in the river has rushed up, the situation is not optimistic.

The most fatal thing is that whether it was Ye Chengcheng's initial plan or the generals on Wang Zhonghe's side after countless discussions, they all established a proposal to attack the Xi Qi coalition army in the tenth formation according to the information brought back by Bai Quan, because at this time, most of the cavalry had already crossed the Sanggan River to the Tang army camp, fell into the ambush of the Tang army, and the battle situation with the Tang army was stalemate. Ye Chengcheng and Huan Chenyu captured Li Huaixiu at this time, if there were other Khitan generals present, they would all be killed, and the Xi Qi coalition army that had lost its command system would suddenly fall into a mess of scattered sand, and this news must be hyped up, so that the entire battlefield knows the news, once it spreads all over the battlefield, whether it is this side of the Sanggan River or that side, the Xi Qi coalition forces on both sides will collapse, and then destroy those giant trees in the river, and the 100,000 Xi Qi coalition cavalry on the side of the Tang army camp will lose their way to retreat. At this time, the elite cavalry of the 40,000 Hexi Army, which had been hidden behind the Xi Qi coalition army, could go straight to the other side and catch them off guard, and Ye Qingcheng and Huan Chenyu would assist them and kill the enemy's generals, so the outcome of the normal battle would be roughly certain.

This plan must be described as perfect, even far above Li Huaixiu's previous idea of attacking the Tang Army at night, but now it has a problem that no one can be sure of. That is, of the 100,000 cavalry in front, 90,000 of which are Xi people, and the remaining 10,000 are Khitan, will it not have much impact on them if they cut off their retreat and eliminate the command system headed by Li Huaixiu. Moreover, they were all elite cavalry, and the elite cavalry of 100,000 rushed into the Tang army's camp, regardless of whether the Tang army had set up an ambush in advance and was on guard, could they, as an infantry army, be able to withstand the offensive of so many cavalry? Not to mention that although they claimed to be more than 200,000, in fact, after lacking 40,000 Hexi troops, there were only more than 100,000 Tang troops in the Tang army's camp.
