In the year 589 of the Great Zhou calendar, autumn, at the end of September.

Fang Yuanheng's army of 70,000 came out of Yushan, and the front of the army approached the 40,000 iron cavalry of the Rong people in Haiwu County.

In a plain ten miles south of Haiwu City, Fang Yuanheng lined up an army of 70,000 into the Xuanxiang Formation, which he was very good at and familiar with, with 20,000 troops each led by Edo and Zheng Lu on the left and right wings, and the Chinese army was led by Fang Yuanheng himself, with 10,000 troops in the front and 20,000 troops in the rear.

But what was different from the past was that Fang Yuanheng deployed another 2,000 chariots in front of the whole army.

And these chariots were an important reason why Fang Yuanheng did not send troops until this time, and they were also the strange tricks that Fang Yuanheng wanted to use as a basis to defeat the Rong cavalry.

Finally, after the two sides lined up their troops, the 40,000 troops of the Rong people began to walk slowly towards Fang Yuanheng's infantry formation amid the sound of the horn.

In the eyes of every soldier of Fang Yuanheng's army, there were 40,000 iron horsemen and at least 150,000 horses slowly coming from the opposite side.

At this moment, hundreds of thousands of horseshoe mountains flew down, like a huge wave that appeared out of thin air, sweeping towards the 70,000 horses on their side.

Fang Yuanheng waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him hurriedly waved the order flag, and after a while, I saw that a cavalry of about 10,000 people and dressed in Xuan armor slowly appeared in the rear of the Chinese army, these cavalry were different from the traditional cavalry under Zhao Zhihai's command, although they were also wearing black armor, but the cavalry under Fang Yuanheng was more sophisticated in terms of horses and equipment.

They all had a black feather stuck in their helmets, which swayed back and forth as the horses moved forward.

"Xuanjia Ride."

Xiao Jinxing, who was in the position of the Rong people in the distance, smiled slightly, and listened to Alu just finish saying the name of the Xuanjia Cavalry, and then said to the people beside him:

"Know yourself and know your opponent, you will not be defeated in a hundred battles, you have also learned the power of the Xuanjia cavalry, at that time, there were only three thousand Xuanjia cavalry outside Xiao Pass, and they could kill one of our captains. Now there are more than 10,000 Xuanjia riders on the other side, you must not be careless. ”

Hearing this, Alu said to Xiao Jinxing: "Shan Yu, during this period of time, we have also learned some tactics from the hundreds of Xuanjia cavalry who threw us, and it is not easy for them to repeat the mistakes of the past in this battle. ”

Xiao Jinxing nodded and continued to look into the distance.

Those Xuanjia cavalry did not directly oppose the 40,000 Rong cavalry, but only galloped towards the high ground on the left side of the army.

Xiao Jinxing knew what they wanted to do, these Xuanjia cavalry wanted to occupy the flank high ground, and when their army's attack was sluggish, they would go all out to kill and cause damage and chaos in their own army's array from the flank.

But Xiao Jinxing didn't seem to be worried, and ignored those Xuanjia riders, just nodded and let Aru and the others leave the Chinese army and return to the men and horses he led.

After a short time, when they were 500 steps away from the main formation of the Qin army, the army of 40,000 soldiers divided into three routes, led by Ahuanu, Bemur, and Bortu, and rushed towards the main formation of the Qin army at full speed.

Among them, Ahuanu attacked the center of the Qin army, and Bemur and Bor attacked left and right, respectively against the upper Edo and Zhenglu departments.

The 30,000 cavalry arrived in an instant, but the Ahuanu army, which was about to rush to the center of the Qin army, found that although the chariots in front of the Qin army did not cause damage to their own men and horses, they were lying in front of them, blocking the route of the charge.

Those chariots were closely lined up in front of the formation, and the gap between the two chariots could only accommodate four or five horses passing at the same time, and Ah Huanu understood that if he wanted to break through, he would definitely slow down the speed of his horses, and it was not easy to cause damage to the Qin soldiers.

At this moment, Ah Huanu made a whistle, and saw 10,000 war cavalry scattered to the left and right two hundred paces in front of the Qin soldier array, galloping parallel to the Qin soldier array, and at the same time, thousands of arrows were sent out in an instant.

Seeing this, Fang Yuanheng's face changed slightly, and he could see clearly that the tactics used by the frontal Rong cavalry at this time were exactly the same as those of the Xuanjia cavalry.

He immediately understood that it must have been captured among the three thousand Xuanjia cavalry led by Fang Mingxin at the beginning, and he taught some of the tactics of the Xuanjia cavalry to the Rong people.

Rong people control horses, which is a must in the world. Among those Rong people, the vast majority of the people in the tribe grew up on horses since childhood, and when it comes to royal horses, the Rong people themselves say second, and no one in the world dares to say first.

It is precisely because of this that after the Xuanjia Cavalry taught them some tactics, they could quickly master them in a short period of time and use them in actual combat.

Although in Fang Yuanheng's view, there is still room for improvement in these Rong tactics, compared with ten years ago, there has really been a earth-shaking change.

Fang Yuanheng immediately gave the order and asked the archers to fight back. Although the shield-wielding Changge soldiers behind the chariot did not suffer heavy casualties because of the obstruction of the chariot, it was not a way to resist so hard.

"Is this what you rely on to fight me head-on? It's so naïve. Fang Yuanheng looked at the archers' counterattack behind the formation and muttered to himself.

Seeing that the Rong cavalry in front of the Chinese army crossed an arc in front of the Qin army and turned back, the 20,000 Rong cavalry on both sides also encountered a similar situation.

For the Xuanxiang Array, the left and right arrays each formed a separate individual, and the individual was also blocked by a chariot before. The soldiers of the two sides, like the Chinese army, fired at each other several times before the rapid departure of the Rong cavalry and the end was announced.

After more than an hour of fighting, they finally had a slight advantage due to the stronger mobility of the Rong people, but they did not take it lightly, because there were still 10,000 Xuanjia riders on the side.

Fang Yuanheng saw that the Rong cavalry had retreated, so he ordered the whole army to move forward and approach the position of the Rong army.

The 60,000 soldiers in the army formation marched north in a uniform manner like an iron wall under the slow advance of the chariot in front.

This made Xiao Jinxing, who was in the Rong Chinese army in the distance, couldn't help but praise.

"No wonder Fang Yuanheng can be famous, whether it is the Qi State Iron Cavalry or the Great Xia Warriors, they have been defeated in his hands countless times. To be able to build such a disciplined army is indeed a man of great prestige. ”

Seeing that the Qin army array was slowly marching towards him, Xiao Jinxing ordered the 30,000 army to attack again, and he wanted to see if the Qin soldiers on the march could still be as impregnable as before.

Fang Yuanheng saw that the soldiers were moving again, so he laughed and said, "The reaction is quite fast, but I'm afraid this battle is about to end here." ”

Sure enough, just as Ahuanu's cavalry rushed to the front of the Qin army's formation, wanting to repeat the old trick again, they saw that the 10,000-strong Xuanjia cavalry on the left quickly dispatched, bypassing the Bortu cavalry from behind, and interspersed towards the rear of Ahuanu's army.

They used the same tactics as the Rong people, so they did not directly rush into the Rong cavalry formation, but just mismatched the Ahuanu cavalry, holding bows and shooting at each other.

Seeing that the army was being attacked on the back of the abdomen, Ahuanu was shocked, and immediately ordered the sergeant to stop shooting arrows and gallop at full speed in both directions, trying to quickly rush out of the flank.

Strangely, the Xuanjia Cavalry did not entangle with it, and after several rounds of arrows with the speed of his horse, he allowed the army of Ahuanu to withdraw from the battlefield from the left and right.

But they swept straight behind the Bemur cavalry on the right.

At this moment, the infantry soldiers of the Qin army no longer paid attention to those chariots under the sound of an order, and the army instantly turned on the spot and moved to the right.

Xiao Jinxing understood that Fang Yuanheng wanted to encircle and annihilate the 10,000-strong cavalry of Bemur.

He frowned, and immediately ordered Bortu to stop the entanglement with the Zheng Lu Department on the left, go around to the back of the Qin army, and attack the 10,000 people behind the Chinese army with all his might.

Fang Yuanheng saw that the Rong side reacted quickly, and knew that the intention of the Rong soldiers on the left side to leave the battlefield and rush to their rear army was not to attack themselves, but to drag the left wing and the middle army at the same time.

He couldn't help but give Xiao Jinxing a thumbs up in his heart, although he didn't know who the other party's commander was at this moment, he only knew that there was a Qin person Shan Yu among the Rong people, and he didn't know whether he was old or young.

After Fang Yuanheng weighed it, he immediately ordered Zheng Lu to pursue the Rong cavalry on the left road, and the rear army of 10,000 people resisted the Rong cavalry attack regardless of life and death. He expected that under the siege of the Xuanjia cavalry, his own front army, and the Edo army, he would be able to completely annihilate the cavalry on the right side of the Rong people.

It's worth paying some price.

And Xiao Jinxing's side was not out of options, he ordered the Aruwanqi who had not yet fought to join the battle immediately, but his purpose was not to go towards the Bemur 10,000 troops, but to attack the Qin army from north to south.

Fang Yuanheng saw that the Rong people seemed to have changed some people this time, braving the rain of arrows to attack his own Chinese army regardless of life and death, and he couldn't help but admire the commander of the Narong people even more in his heart.

If the Rong cavalry attacked the Qin soldiers on the left and tried to rescue the cavalry that was about to be encircled, then their own Chinese infantry would have enough time to complete the encirclement. And the Xuanjia rider can also withdraw to meet the Rong cavalry who came to the rescue.

But the Rong people didn't seem to care about the life and death of the left wing Rong cavalry, and the targets of the two 10,000-strong teams were the positions of the Chinese army, so they contained Zheng Lu's army and his own front and rear troops at the same time.

As a result, there was not much difference between the number of the Xuanjia cavalry and the left wing cavalry, and the infantry in Edo was too mobile compared to the cavalry, so the left wing was never able to complete the encirclement.

It seems that the battle of encirclement and annihilation is about to turn into a bitter battle.

Sure enough, around the battle array of the Qin army, the two armies of Rong and Qin fought bloody battles in three places at the same time. The infantry cavalry on both sides has gradually lost room for impact, and some of the Rong cavalry have dismounted and fought with the Qin people in front of them as infantry.

The Rong soldiers were brave, and although the Qin soldiers had good combat strength behind the array, they would inevitably have some flaws and mistakes under the hasty response between moves, even if the well-trained Fang Yuan Heng army would be the same.

The two armies fought a bloody battle for a long time and were in a stalemate, but they still developed in the direction of the Qin army, because the Rong cavalry, which had lost its speed, had turned into infantry.

If the Rong people can't hold on and once they retreat, none of the Rong soldiers on the left and the back of the Qin army will be able to escape.

And the Qin army also has a hard time, although it continues to fight like this, the victorious side will be their own sooner or later. But those soldiers are indeed very difficult to deal with, and even if they are formed into a military formation, those soldiers still have a way to kill them.

Sometimes it is clear that two or three Changge have already pierced into the body of a Rong person, but the Rong soldiers can pull these Changge masters down and kill them one by one before they die.

And this is just an ordinary soldier of the Rong people. It is hard to imagine that after this battle, the Qin army does not know how many people will die.

Just when I didn't know how long this big battle would last, finally, I saw that the Rong people sounded the horn of withdrawal.
