Therefore, Li Yan simply stood still in the west of Fufeng.

But who would have thought that Han Baohu would be grinding under Qizhou City, but he couldn't get in, and Yu Qingze's requests for help came in waves, which put Li Yan in a dilemma.

If you move forward, you always feel that Han Baohu is deceitful, but if you don't move forward, it seems that there is no way to explain to the imperial court, Yu Qingze and the soldiers under his command, and then put on a hat to avoid war.

You must know that his reputation Li Yan is not very good, because the first person Yu Wenyun found after escaping from the capital was Li Yan, what does this mean, it shows that His Majesty trusts Li Yan, but why does His Majesty trust Li Yan?

Then Li Yan must have done something to be sorry for Yang Jian.

Although Li Yan handed over Yu Wenyun very decisively, there were inevitably many people chewing on the root of their tongues behind their backs.

This made Li Yan feel uneasy in his heart, but he still had to come to support Qizhou, otherwise he would have no way to explain to Yang Jian at that time. The Liaodong Li family has not yet had a few competing sons and nephews who can emerge, and as the only person in the Liaodong Li family who is still supporting the entire family, Li Yan must be careful step by step.

And when he arrived at the city of Qizhou, seeing that Han Baohu calmly laid out the formation, and did not even stop the attack on Qizhou, Li Yan already knew that something was wrong. If the battle in Qizhou is really as anxious as said before, at this time, it should be Han Baohu who takes the initiative to retreat to prevent Yu Qingze from being caught between himself and himself.

But the fact is that Han Baohu invited to attack.

It can't be an empty city, right?

The matter has come to this, and Li Yan can only move forward. At a cursory glance, Han Baohu had at least forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses under his command, while he only had 20,000 soldiers and horses, even if he added the five thousand cavalry covering on the flanks, it was only half of the enemy's.

Although most of the Han army were recruits, the numerical advantage was really here.

Li Yan can't hope to win more with less, although there are not a few in history who win more with less, but they can still be talked about by future generations thousands of years later, because compared with the vast majority of battles in which more wins less, these examples of winning more with less are really rare.

However, Li Yan is a veteran of the battlefield after all, and the army spread out diagonally to the rear at a distance of about a mile from Han Baohu's main formation, and laid down a hook-shaped formation, the so-called hook-shaped formation, which is one of Sun Bin's ten formations, and it is also a relatively common formation, with the left and right wings bent backwards to protect the Chinese army behind the front and prevent the enemy from outflanking.

It is clear that this formation is designed to facilitate defense and retreat.

In contrast, the goose-shaped formation laid out by Han Baohu was clearly about to attack.

Before Li Yan's banner was erected, the sound of drums was already heard in the Han Tiger Formation.

The Northern Zhou army was rectifying, and the formation changed from a long serpentine on the march to a hook-shaped formation, which was the critical juncture of the change of formation, and it was impossible for the Northern Zhou army to take the initiative to attack at this time.

Han Baohu obviously seized this opportunity to "attack halfway".

He didn't plan to talk to Li Yan about any moral benevolence, that is, to defeat Li Yan with the power of thunder.

One after another trench trucks appeared, and for these trench trucks designed to fill the moats, the small ditches did not seem to be a threat, and even the Han army simply pushed the trenches sideways, and even then they could still fill the ditch - after all, these trench trucks were wide enough, otherwise it would not have been possible to let so many soldiers pass through at once.

"Kill!" The left and right flanks of the Han army were the first to attack. The goose formation and the hook formation, a roundabout attack, an inward defense, are exactly the natural opponents.

"Shoot the arrows!" Han Baohu decisively ordered.

The left and right flanks were infantrymen, and the Chinese side was almost entirely made up of crossbowmen, who had also advanced to the edge of the ditch.

Arrows whizzed out, and at such a close distance they could even shoot straight forward.

"Shoot the arrows!" The Northern Zhou army also issued such an order almost at the same time.

Obviously, the Zhou people don't plan to sit idly by either.

Although there was a shield to cover it, there were still Han soldiers falling, and the Zhou people who were still adjusting their formation over there suffered heavy losses.

But it's nothing for two armies that are about to collide.

The sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded, and the Northern Zhou cavalry jumped out of sight from two directions. They have been responsible for wandering around the periphery, with more than 2,000 people on the north side and more than 2,000 people on the south side, first, to spy on the movements of the Han army, and secondly, to prevent the Han army from ambushing soldiers on the left and right flanks. Now it is obvious that the attack of the Han army has disrupted the rhythm of the Zhou people, so Li Yan also had to transfer these two cavalry in advance.

"Kill!" The shield and the shield collided violently, and the left and right wings of the Han army that came out had caught up with the left and right wings of the retreating Northern Zhou army. The Zhou people are no longer retreating, and the Han army is still advancing!

So whether it is not to retreat or to move forward, if both sides want to achieve their goals, they can only do their best to let each other fall!

As soon as the war began, it fell into a stalemate!

The cavalry of the Northern Zhou Dynasty came very quickly from far and near, and their goal was obviously not the battlefield that had become more and more chaotic - the soldiers on both sides had been completely strangled together, and the cavalry rushed in at this time undoubtedly killing a thousand enemies and inflicting eight hundred casualties.

And if the Northern Zhou army wants to achieve victory, it can't lose 800 by itself.

Therefore, these two teams of cavalry rushed over directly at Han Baohu's handsome banner.

The Han army advanced on both flanks, and the Chinese army was almost directly exposed to the cavalry!

Han Baohu's face was hideous, looking at the enemy who was getting closer and closer.

"Put!" A row of Han crossbowmen immediately crouched down after pulling the trigger.

The second row followed closely with the arrows, and then half-squatted.

Then there is the third row.

After the third row of arrows, the first row has been loaded, and the arrows are released again.

Rows and rows of arrows whizzed across the field, and the arrows swept past the cavalry that charged forward, perfectly interpreting what it means to be swept away by the autumn wind.

And after realizing that the enemy's crossbowmen had already been on guard, the Northern Zhou cavalry could only continue to disperse, anyway, it was almost in front of them, and they could still afford this price.

There was only one ditch left between the Han army and the Northern Zhou cavalry, and there was even a trench truck laid by the Han people themselves.

In this way, it was the Han army that did its own thing, and if there was no trench filling car, it should be difficult for the Northern Zhou cavalry to cross directly.

"Ignition!"

When the cavalry of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was already planning to directly use sabers to deal with these damn southern barbarians, Han Baohu waved his hand decisively.

Jars of oil that had been prepared for a long time smashed directly on the trench filling truck. Then the torch was thrown in.

The fire rose into the sky, directly engulfing the trench filling trucks.

"Law-" The Northern Zhou generals who led the team hurriedly reined in their horses.

He never imagined that the enemy would be so ruthless, and directly blocked the way of the cavalry with this most straightforward method.

Looking at the surrounding battlefields again, the cavalry of the Northern Zhou Dynasty even felt that this was specially selected by Han Baohu to guard against them.
