The two "fire dragons" in the northwest and northeast can gradually be seen to be moving slowly, perhaps because of the distance, and they seem to be flickering and dark.

However, due to the close distance of the soldiers in the southeast corner, they could already hear the hoofs of the cavalry as they charged. Just looking at the torches, there should be at least 10,000 people.

No one listened to the soldiers on the upper floor anymore, and the torches that were getting closer and closer in the southeast corner were already seen below. General Liu Dutong's order has been transmitted to all battalions, and the soldiers in the battalion have set up bows and crossbows behind the walls of the camp, and trebuchets have been set up in the empty camp, and a pile of stones has been placed next to them. This time a lesson was learned, and the melee no longer dared to drop the thunder.

There was a lot of tension in the camp, and the men who carried arrows, collected stones, strengthened the horses, lined up for battle, and the soldiers obeyed the orders of the generals, and they were all a little uneasy. Although there are tens of thousands of horses, but deep into the depths of Fandi, the grain and grass have been cut off in the past few days, and of course the confidence is insufficient.

The first to be killed was the soldiers from the southeast.

As the fire dragon approached, the dull rumble of the iron hooves of thousands of war horses on the ground made the hearts of all the soldiers in the camp beat faster. The palms of the gunners at the front who were holding the barrel and handle of the gun were already sweating.

The guards gave the first order, and the archers behind them shot the arrows that had drawn their bowstrings. I only heard the sound of "sighing" endlessly, and I couldn't see the arrows at all in the night, but I could see more than a dozen "torches" running in the front.

"Shot!" Someone cheered in a low voice. Such an achievement was nothing at all when the two armies faced each other, but it also caused a burst of excitement among the Song army who resisted the enemy in the large battalion. It can also be regarded as an encouragement, indicating that the opportunity to shoot that arrow was not wasted.

"Get on the arrow!" The leaders were all veterans, and they didn't care about such a record at all, and watched the changes in the actions of the enemy in the distance, and gave an order.

Drawing arrows, stringing, and drawing bows, several movements are done in one go, but they are also well-trained.

"Shoot!" The leaders shouted again, and the rain of arrows from several infantry formations shot out again, this time the distance was closer, and more people and horses were shot, and even the neighing of the horses that were hit by the arrows could be heard.

Of course, the people will not rush over like fools, seeing that the Song army is prepared, they all turned their horses' heads, rushed forward in formation, and quickly ran to the left and right from the middle, and at the same time drew their bows and arrows, and fired back at the Song army's infantry formation. There are wind lanterns hanging on the high poles of the Song army's camp, and you can faintly see the battle formation of the Maneilie, which is so conspicuous that you don't need to aim at all, you just shoot the arrow and leave, and you don't care if you shoot it or not.

When the leaders saw that the soldiers were turning into the distance, they did not waste any more arrows, but asked the soldiers to put away the arrows and continue to wait in formation.

The first encounter ended hastily. This is just a temptation of the soldiers, and there are only a few hundred people who rushed over this time, and most of the thousands of soldiers who rushed over just now just stayed outside the range of the Song army's bow and arrows, but the hundreds of people in front rushed over to test it.

Wang Yuan guarded in the east, seeing that first of all, he had a soldier rushing over, Wang Yuan, who was sneak attacked by Xiao Gan and robbed the grain and grass, held a sword in his hand, and personally supervised the battle behind this side of the battle, but unfortunately it was night, one was that the terrain was not familiar, and the other was that the cavalry was not as good as the soldiers, so he did not dare to send out the cavalry to fight with the fans, so he could only defend in this trench.

Liu Yanqing walked out of the big tent in a military uniform, and said to the heralds beside him: "Order Wang Yuan and Jiao Anjie, the two generals, each to lead the men and horses of the headquarters, in order to resist the enemy in the east and west, there must be no mistakes, and those who lose their own formation will be dealt with by military law!" The herald hurriedly went down to give orders to Wang Yuan and Jiao Anjie.

Liu Yanqing said to Wu Zihou beside him: "Let you and Liu Guangshi each lead their headquarters, gather on standby, and follow Bendu to kill the enemy!" ”

Wu Zihou didn't think much about it, since Liu Dutong was going into battle to kill the enemy, what else did he have to say? Hurriedly answered: "Yes! Follow all the enemies! ”

After Liu Yanqing arranged these, he was still not at ease, and personally came to the camp of Jiao'anjie in the west, but he couldn't find Jiao'anjie, and asked the soldiers, only to know that Jiao'anjie was hiding in the camp tent, Liu Yanqing endured his anger, came to the camp, and said to Jiao'anjie: "Jiao Tong, seeing that the soldiers are attacking in three ways, you and Wang Yuan each bring their headquarters to resist the enemy, and there must be no loss." Pontus personally led his troops behind the soldiers in the west, which may have miraculous results. Here, please let Jiao rule. ”

Jiao Anjie heard that Liu Yanqing was going to lead the troops out to outflank the soldiers from behind, so the pressure on him here would be much lighter, so he hurriedly raised his hand and thanked him: "Please rest assured, the last general will go to supervise the soldiers of the headquarters, and the soldiers will be kept out of the battle!" ”

Liu Yanqing saw that Jiao Anjie had responded, and hurried to the east again, seeing Wang Yuan supervising the battle after the earthquake, knowing that Wang Yuan was young and vigorous, he would definitely avenge the attack the day before yesterday, but he didn't have to persuade him with his own words. He told Wang Yuan that he was going to lead his troops out of the camp to detour behind enemy lines and outflank his soldiers, and asked Wang Yuan not to hold his own position.

Wang Yuan said gratefully: "Dutong should be careful! On the side of the last general, there are probably more than 6,000 troops here, and there are only more than 10,000 infantry troops here, so I am afraid that it will not be able to defend for a long time. ”

Liu Yanqing was about to strictly order Wang Yuan to defend it, but after thinking about it, he changed his attention and said: "I asked Wu Zihou's rear army to come here, and I will listen to your dispatch!" ”

Wang Yuanxi said: "Thank you for your understanding!" ”

Liu Yanqing had no time to talk to Wang Yuan, came to the open space in the middle of the camp, saw that Liu Guangshi and himself were all ready to stop, and his own soldiers brought his own war horse, Liu Yanqing recognized the stirrup and got on the horse, and then said to Wu Zihou: "Order your army to go to coerce the king to rule and defend the formation, and the rest of the horse army will follow me out of the camp to kill the enemy!" ”

Saying that, he took the lead, led Liu Guangshi and his own Chinese army, and went outside the camp gate first. Wu Zihou hurriedly explained to his infantry commander, and chased out with his cavalry.

The main entrance of Liu Yanqing's camp is the south gate, and the terrain in the vicinity, Liu Yanqing and others are also familiar with it because they usually go out to walk horses and hunt, and Liu Yanqing and Liu Guangshi, father and son, are in front and go to the west of the camp. The remaining few hundred cavalry of the vanguard army, as well as the 4,000 cavalry of the Chinese army, plus the 2,000 cavalry of Wu Zihou's rear army, are getting farther and farther west, and the big camp is gradually out of sight.

Liu Yanqing saw that he was running far away, so he stopped his horse and looked at the firelight in the northwest direction in the distance. Liu Guangshi was beside Liu Yanqing and asked in a low voice: "Daddy, since the soldiers are really attacking from three directions, and they are raising fire, why can't I evacuate quickly, why are I still staying here?" ”

Liu Yanqing's eyes stared at the northwest for a long time, and then he couldn't help but sneer and said: "This person has repeatedly plotted against me, how can I be easily deceived by him this time?" If you look closely, the fire in the northwest has been in place for a long time, and has not come closer, and I expect that there must be suspicious soldiers there. ”

Liu Guangshi also looked intently, and after a while, he said happily: "Daddy is like a god, and he is really just spinning in place." ”
