Since the Tang Dynasty took the land of Shuofang, Li Erhei has always been stationed here. Among them, the confrontation with the country is the most important. Therefore, from the very beginning, he had already begun to think about how to fight the Daiguo. This time, his idea was actually the result of thinking about it many times.

"What the general said is reasonable, if this goal can really be achieved, Daiguo will no longer be able to compete with us from now on!" When Deng Qiang heard this, he agreed.

"Since you don't have any opinions, let's do so! However, your crossing of the river with your army must be swift and confidential. Otherwise, once the incident is not secret, it will be easy to be detected by the enemy, and it will be unfavorable to our actions at that time! Li Erhei nodded, and discussed it properly.

That night, Deng Qiang led an army of 10,000 to quietly march westward, and then crossed the Yellow River twenty miles west of the Baiqu River where it flowed.

In order to prevent the Dai army from discovering his traces, he did not rush to the front to join the army immediately after crossing the river, but first hid on the spot and waited for the battle report from the front.

On the morning of the next day, Li Erhei officially gathered his troops and horses, intending to cross the river to fight the Dai army. But what he didn't expect was that he hadn't made any action yet, but he heard a report that the Dai army had already begun to cross the river.

"I didn't expect them to act first! However, Shi Yiqian has not moved for these days, so why did he suddenly cross the river at this time? Did he know about the defeat in the west, or did he say that the reinforcements from the Yan State had arrived? Hearing this news, Li Erhei was a little puzzled in his heart.

However, in either case, it didn't have much impact on him.

The army is ready, and it is waiting for its own order to attack. Since the other party attacked first, he would have to save himself the hard work of crossing the river.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Erhei decided to change his tactics slightly, and changed the battle plan that was originally formulated to be implemented on the north bank to the south bank.

"Go and call the generals to the tent of the Chinese army to discuss matters!" Li Erhei commanded.

The generals and generals who were preparing to fight at this time immediately ran to the tent of the Chinese army after hearing this order. Fortunately, this time the meeting was not very long, and it only lasted for half a cup of tea before it ended.

After the discussion was over, Li Erhei stepped onto the battlefield with his armor on. At this time, the two sides of the Yellow River were already at war.

The water of the Yellow River in this area is relatively stable, and the river is very wide, so it is actually possible to cross the river from any place. It doesn't have to be fixed at the ferry to allow the army to cross the river.

Whoever wants to fight on the other side must first cross the river by boat. It is precisely for this matter that during the year or two of the confrontation, the Tang Army and the Dai Army have been preparing a large number of boats.

At this moment, on the surface of the river, which is nearly a mile wide and dozens of miles long, the boats of the Dai army filled the field of vision. On the whole surface of the river, only a single leaf of flat boats can be seen, and there are a large number of rafts in between, on which are sitting or standing on behalf of the soldiers, who are heading towards the south bank.

The soldiers of the Dai Army hid behind their shields to fend off the arrows of the Tang army, and they did not worry too much about being attacked until they approached the shore. The only problem is that because of the unfamiliarity with water, many of the soldiers are very uncomfortable.

The north is different from the south, if it were replaced by Jiangzuo's naval army here, I am afraid that the attack would not be like this. What the Dai army did at this time was not so much an attack as simply crossing the river.

On the south bank, because of the strength of the Tang Army, it did not line up for defense, but defended in some places on the shore that were more suitable for landing. As the ships of the modern army began to approach, they began to attack.

In this case, the only thing that can be used is a ranged assault weapon. Bows and trebuchets are undoubtedly more suitable things, especially trebuchets, if one hit and just hits one of them, the boatload of people will probably have to feed the fish.

However, due to the large number of Dai troops and the fact that the opponent is advancing along the current, there is not much time available for attacking. As a result, the main engagement had to be fought ashore.

The soldiers of the Dai army rocked the oars desperately, so that the boat quickly approached the shore. Once they landed, the situation was much more favorable for them, after all, there seemed to be much more troops on their side.

Of course, landing battles have never been easy to fight, and the soldiers of the Dai Army are already ready for bloody battles. However, when they rushed over, they found that it seemed to be much easier than they had imagined.

"Report, King Qiqi, our army has crossed the river and is coming ashore one after another!" The battle to cross the river was already successful in less than half an hour, and the news was immediately reported to Shiyiqian, who was still on the north bank.

"Why so fast? Are those Tang troops so vulnerable? Hearing this, Shi Yiqian was a little surprised.

"Although the Tang soldiers on the other side tried their best to defend, it seems that their troops are not particularly large, and they cannot prevent so many of us from landing on the shore at the same time. When our army came ashore, it was not long before we began to retreat slowly! ”

"How so? Even if the troops are insufficient, they will not retreat so quickly! Shi Yiqian felt that something was not right.

"I'm afraid the other party's move is to gather all the forces together, and then come to fight with us! After all, if we disperse our forces, not only will we not be able to prevent us from crossing the river, but we may be defeated by each of us in the end, which will be extremely unfavorable to them! Yan Feng thought for a while and said.

"Maybe that's right! The other party just saw that he couldn't resist us, so he simply gave it a go. That's fine, but we don't have to go to them! The herald ordered the army to cross the river immediately, and after finding those Tang troops, they were defeated on the spot! Shi Yiqian listened, and after thinking about it, he also felt that it should be like this, and when he ordered.

Soon, the 50,000 troops stationed on the north bank of the Yellow River to confront Li Erhei crossed the river from the north bank and went south. Although it took a lot of time, the whole process was very smooth.

At this time, the news of the Tang army's attack also came from the Baiqu water in the west.

However, because the general of the acting army who defended Baiqushui said that the Tang army's attack over there was not particularly violent, they were all blocked by themselves. Therefore, Shi Yiqian only thought that the Tang army in the west was acting to rescue Li Erhei and them, and did not pay too much attention to it.

What really made him pay more attention at this time was that the news from the south bank kept coming in. Li Erhei did gather all the soldiers and horses together, but after they gathered together, they did not resist on the spot, but retreated while fighting.

By the time nearly half of the 50,000 troops around Shi Yiqian had passed, Li Erhei had already led the army that had just been assembled to retreat to a distance of thirty miles from the river.

As soon as he got the news, Shi Yiqian hurriedly ordered the army to pursue. At the same time, he himself crossed the Yellow River with the rest of his soldiers and horses.

This area south of the Yellow River is the relatively flat Ordos Plateau. Although it belongs to the plateau platform as a whole, the terrain is very open and flat, which is very suitable for this kind of large-scale and large-scale engagement.

After Li Erhei gathered his soldiers and horses, he was slowly retreating in this direction.

"General, the deputies behind have chased after you. Moreover, it looks like they want to outflank us and surround us completely! The general in charge of the palace ran over to report to Li Erhei.

"Very well, now is the time for us to act! Tell the order and follow the plan! Li Erhei nodded and commanded.

Soon, the Tang army began to line up on the spot, as if it was planning to fight the enemy here. After getting the news, Shi Yiqian hurriedly ordered the army to rush there, and he also went to the front line together.

Just after they left the shore for about a pillar of incense, a group of Tang army light cavalry suddenly came out from the upper reaches of the Yellow River. After these people came to kill them, they said that they killed the soldiers who stayed here and were in charge of guarding the boats and boats.

Soon after, Shi Yiqian led an army of more than 40,000 to confront Li Erhei's army on the plain forty miles south of the Yellow River. The confrontation between the two armies, in terms of troops, the military formation of the Dai Army is much larger than that of the Tang Army.

However, in terms of strict formation and military appearance, the Tang army is far superior to the Dai army. After all, the soldiers of the Tang Army, who were wearing uniform armor and using unified weapons, naturally came out with momentum when they formed a phalanx.

Shi Yiqian looked at the Tang army on the opposite side, his brows furrowed. Judging from his many years of military career, he can naturally see at a glance the extraordinaryness of the army in front of him.

Although the number of them was far smaller than their own, when they lined up in front of them, it was as if they were a whole, and there was not much noise in the entire military formation.

On the other hand, these soldiers around him stood crookedly one by one, and many of them still exchanged their heads and ears. Fortunately, there are many cavalry on his side, so he has some confidence in his heart.

"Today, I saw the appearance of the Tang Army, and it was really extraordinary! Pass the order down, and the whole army will attack! After looking at it for a while, Shi Yiqian couldn't help but sigh, but then gave the order to attack.

With the sound of the horn, the Dai Jun began to rush towards Li Erhei and them.

Since the Dai army was dominated by cavalry, it was as if the whole earth was trembling when it charged. The deafening sound of horses' hooves drowned out all the sound in the air, like thunder rolling in the heavens and the earth.
