As expected, on the 26th of the leap month, after the advance of the Eastern Army successfully crossed the river, Gao Huan heard the great news and hurriedly followed.

The next day, the Eastern Army took Feng Yi's empty city again, and Gao Huan laughed endlessly: "The western thief has lost his courage, and this time he will break through!" Although there were also cautious and doubtful generals under his command, they saw that flags were everywhere on both sides of the river and even in Huazhou, and their own troops were coming one after another, so their worries gradually dissipated.

Gao Huan took Feng Yi as a temporary station, scouted and rode out, and soon discovered that the main force of the Western Army was in Shayuan. He was happy to see the hunt, so he personally led the front army and couldn't wait to cross Luoshui to the south. On the first day of October, the advance of the Eastern Army arrived at Xuyuan Xiazhai, which was only 60 miles away from the Shayuan Western Army.

The Eastern Army advanced too fast, and the 80,000 former troops had already crossed Luoshui and arrived at Xuyuan; About 70,000 Chinese troops were assembled in all directions on the broad plain from the west bank of the river to the line of Feng Yi, more than 100 miles; As for the rear army of 50,000, they were still hovering near Kasakatsu on the east bank of the river at this time.

。。。。。。

The weather has turned cold, but the reeds in Weiqu are still thick. Although the reed flowers have been gone, and the reed stalks are no longer green, the dead stalks are still strong, standing tall in the mud swamp, and they have become an endless sea of withered yellow reeds.

When the wind comes, large areas of reeds fall with the wind, as if there are waves on the reed sea, stacked and swaying, which is very beautiful.

Suddenly, a human voice sounded in the vast sea of reeds: "Oh, this wind is so strong, blowing the reed stalks to fall down, I'm afraid there will be more than half of them." What can I do? But don't be able to cover up the traces of us, but teach the thief to find out! ”

Someone on the side laughed "poof" and responded: "You don't pee and take care of yourself, just your little man, don't say squatting here, just stand up and put your feet, hehe, that's not half as tall as this reed stalk, but what is the panic?" ”

There was a burst of laughter from all around.

Needless to say, this is exactly where the Western army ambushed. There are 4,000 Huazhou foot soldiers under the command of Pei Guo, the general of the expedition to the east, and Yuwentai sent the Qinzhou assassin and the general Zhao Gui of Annan to lead 2,000 troops to set up an ambush. Pei Guonai divided 1,000 troops with Zhao Gui, taking it as the left wing and himself as the right wing.

When he came, he had made an appointment with Yuwentai, and he didn't hear the sound of Yuwentai's drums, and the ambush soldiers would never attack. It is expected that this ambush will not be a day's work, so dry food, water, and even felt are prepared here, so as not to freeze to death and starve to death in this sea of reeds before the battle is fought.

Luhai is quiet, the southeast side is the sparkling Luoshui and Weishui, about the big war is imminent, half of the boatman and fisherman can not see; The west is the sand garden, the yellow sand is all over the field, the west wind whines and rolls over, and the sand and dust in the sky are raised, and half of the sea of reeds is shrouded in a moment.

So Lu Haili heard a sound again: "Oh, isn't it raining?" Phew, Bah, Bah... ”

"Where is the rain, it's all the sand of the sand garden that blows the wind, and the reeds of the whole sect are blocked, and when it falls, isn't it like rain?"

"It was getting dark, and there was not much movement outside. Hey, I don't know how long I'll have to wait here. Most of the people in the front spit out the sand in their mouths, gasped and said: "It's just a matter of falling sand, you see that the wind is so cold, if it really rains, then it will be good."

"Rain? Hum! If you can't hear the drums of the prime minister, it will be a knife falling from the sky, and you won't dare to move! ”

。。。。。。

At the west end of the sand garden, the words "Long Xiang General Daxi" are written on the fluttering flag. Arrayed here were the two thousand light cavalry of Jingzhou Thorn Shi and Long Xiang General Da Xiwu. Its formation is erratic, uncertain, and swift as the wind.

Three miles to the east, there are two thousand horsemen of Yu Jin, the general of the Fujun Army. The formation is sparse, and its Xu is like a forest.

Further to the northeast, there are 800 iron cavalry led by the hussar general He Basheng, with a lot of fronts, and they are already on the northernmost protrusion of the sand garden. At this moment, He Batsheng closed his terrifying armor again, and with the heavy sound of the horse's heavy nose, the eight hundred horsemen behind him stepped on their heavy iron hooves and leaped forward. Although the number is small, all of them are armored and horsemen, and they are terrifying, and once they rush forward, they will be fierce as fire.

In the center of the department, after Xu Kaiwai, he saw the white wolf of the prime minister of the Western Dynasty and the general Yuwentai standing tall. With Daxu as the center of the formation and spreading to the surrounding areas, it is the large formation of the Chinese army of the Western Army. This is a huge phalanx composed of more than 10,000 foot horses, thick shields in front, between spears, and arrow arrays, jumping, scattered horses... Layered and airtight. Looking at its formation, it is said that it is extremely strict and unmoving.

Not far from the left hand of the Chinese army's large array, there are two thousand light horsemen from the history of the Assassin of Fengzhou and the general of Zhenbei, Hou Mo Chen Chong, supplemented by two thousand light cavalry. In contrast, on the right side of the Chinese army were the 2,000 cavalry of Wang Xiong, the general of Qizhou and Jianyi.

Further back, there were two thousand horsemen. This is the rear army led by Li Hu, the general of Pingbei in Eastern Qinzhou, and its location is almost already backed by the Wei River, which can not only meet the army on the river, but also prevent the eastern army from going around the back road to sneak attack the western army.

On the third day of October in the third year of the Great Unification (the fourth year of Tianping in the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the third year of Liang Datong), Yuwentai raised his army and lined up in the west of Shayuan, as if he was fighting to the death.

When Gao Huan heard about it in Xu Yuan, he sneered: "I am worried that the black thief is frightened and flees to Qin Long, and it is difficult to clean it up." It's best to send you to death! "Drink now and order the whole army to go out.

So the 80,000 people of the Eastern Army sent out the camp and rushed to the south.

Soon the two armies met and lined up.

Under the high heavens, people are like ants, densely packed. Above the sand garden, the battle flags are all over the field, and a great battle is about to begin.
