The battlefield in which Gongsun Xun was located was just formed in a hurry, and it was too different from the pontoon bridge where many torches were lit and a large number of troops were gathered. In addition, the water of revenge in summer is very wide, so in the dark night, the troops on the south bank of the river can't see the situation here clearly, and can only hear the shouts of killing!

But in any case, it is obvious that they have just crossed the river and encountered an enemy situation...... Therefore, for a while, the non-commissioned officers on the south bank of the river changed color.

At this moment, the first to react was actually Lu Fan, a scribe, who saw that this recognized number two person in the army did not say any nonsense, and actually directly ripped off the armor that had just been put on the horse, and then went into the water without saying a word, holding the neck of the war horse...... The Han army behind him suddenly looked ashamed when he saw this, and then rushed to Jiadu River.

Immediately afterwards, Cheng Pu, who was entrusted with the responsibility of taking charge of the army, also temporarily changed his strategy, and he immediately looked back and ordered: "Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, you two don't cross the river here, go directly to support Gao Heng from the pontoon bridge, no matter what, I just need to let the Xianbei people over there dare not move!" Cai Guantun also went, the enemy army was dense, and he directly set up crossbows on the pontoon bridge to shoot, so he didn't have to worry about some accidental injuries! ”

Wei Xu was a little hesitant for a while, but he was directly dragged by Cheng Lian, but he still hurriedly got back on his horse...... At this time, if there is a little conscience in their hearts, then they will naturally fight to the death for Gongsun Xun's kindness that has nurtured them for more than a year; Even if you don't have a little virtue in your heart, you have to talk about helping each other in the same boat and seeking a way to live!

Therefore, after a moment of stunned, the Han army on the south bank of the river was actually the same enemy, and they were uplifted.

On the other side of the river, the situation is not as bad as imagined.

In other words, why don't you cross the river in the evening, and why do you have to fight at night?

Of course, there are too many reasons to count, but one of the most important ones is that the Xianbei people are a tribal alliance that has only appeared for less than twenty years, and even in the royal court of Tanshihuai, their various systems are far behind the establishment of the Han army. And once the night battle is fought, this group of enemy troops connected by large and small tribes will not be able to achieve unity and smooth command at all......

In fact, when the night battle began, the only thing they could do for the remaining royal court and the Xianbei nobles in the east seemed to be to shout loudly in the northern section of the most obvious and bright pontoon bridge to show their sense of existence.

As for the sudden shouting that someone suddenly shouted that there was another Han army...... The black light is blind, God knows where? God knows if it's true or not? Even if someone vaguely noticed the movement upstream and felt that they should send someone to deal with it quickly, God knows how to drag their own tribe out of the bridge in this situation?

Therefore, the situation in Gongsun Xun is really not very critical, and all they need to deal with is the group of enemy troops passing by, and the scattered troops who were shouted by these people...... In fact, there was no large force of enemy troops to support from the beginning to the end.

Even on the contrary, thanks to Lu Fan's impatience and Cheng Pu's impromptu decision, the Han armies on both routes received timely reinforcements.

Behind Gongsun Xun, soldiers kept crawling out of the river, and soon joined the battle in a steady stream under the encouragement of the main general, and Han Dang also fought hard, desperately galloping in the faint firelight...... The enemy force was quickly suppressed.

At the same time, with the horseshoe formation, the pontoon bridge also ushered in support, and the first wave was hundreds of cavalry!

"Get out of the way!" Gao Heng, who was trapped at the bridgehead, was almost ecstatic when he saw the rescue. "Let the cavalry charge!"

Naturally, the armor soldiers did what they said...... However, to the disappointment of the Han army, and even some collapse, the war horse was too smart! The pontoon bridge has seriously hindered the speed of the war horse, and the so-called 'rushing formation' is originally to force the war horse to rush forward, plus the hasty response to the battle did not blindfold the horse or anything, so the smart war horse was facing the opposite spear array under the reflection of the surrounding fire and torches, and it was simply stationary!

Not only that, in order to facilitate the war horses to rush into battle, Gao Heng scattered the previously solid round formation, but now it has become a breakthrough for the Xianbei people.

At this moment, the Xianbei nobles who were commanding nearby didn't care about where and who came, but hurriedly urged the troops to hope to eat this Han army...... As long as you can eat this Han army and recapture the pontoon bridge, you can deal with it calmly if there is really a force sneaking in.

"It's over!"

Gao Heng, whose face was covered with blood, hated it in his heart!

I thought that I was in a mess when I was young, but I knew that I was brave and ruthless, and when I was crowned, I saw that all the brothers in the clan had a future, so I was angry and wanted to make a career. And after he brought a group of village rangers to Shanggu to join the army, although there were quite twists and turns, he finally fell into the eyes of Xia Yu, a nobleman. Come to think of it, there is always a future. Even when the war started before, he was even more overjoyed, and he only thought that he could make a name for himself in the military.

Unexpectedly, this war encountered such an accident...... Not to mention whether this battle can go back alive, even if you can go back alive, then the lord Xia Yu, who is based on himself, can have a good result? This battle is obviously what he asked for in the book!

As soon as he thought of this, this disheartened Bohai Gao Xuanqing almost wanted to touch his neck!

But at this moment, Gao Heng suddenly heard someone shouting something in his ears, and when he looked at it, he found that it was the cavalry who came to support him here...... I saw that this person neither commanded the battle nor took the lead, but jumped off the horse with his subordinate Wei Yue, and then each held the horse's tail in one hand and the knife in the other, and did not know what to do.

"Fellow Jiuyuan Villagers!" Na Chenglian grabbed the ponytail and turned red. "If it weren't for Sima Houde, I would have been reduced to the likes of other people's slaves when I immigrated! And for more than a year, has Sima ever treated us badly in the army? Is there a shortage of money and food? Can the reward be interrupted? Are my family members sheltered? If it weren't for Sima Rende, wouldn't we be able to keep it? At this time, what else is there to be afraid of? ”

After that, I saw that this Cheng Lian and that Wei Yue glanced at each other, and then each raised his hand with a knife, and actually stabbed directly at the butt of his war horse, and the two war horses immediately went crazy in pain, and then regardless of what spear torches were in front of them, they rushed directly to the Xianbei formation in front!

The Xianbei people in front of them were all at a loss when they saw this situation...... If there were people on these two horses, they might still grit their teeth out of battlefield instinct, but only two crazy war horses rushed towards them, and a living person on the grassland knew that they should avoid it first, right? But as soon as he scattered the formation and dodged, he unexpectedly pounced on two people from behind the war horse, and these two people not only acted vigorously and flexibly, but also cooperated tacitly, killing several people in a moment!

Obviously, this tactic that is almost child's play in Gao Heng's eyes seems to have worked wonders!

Seeing this, the cavalry composed of the immigrants of the Nine Plains of Natun behind him no longer hesitated, and they all followed suit, regardless of the life of the war horses, cutting the horse stocks, forcing them to rush into the formation, but on the other hand, they rushed into the Xianbei formation in close quarters with the way of dragging the horse's tail!

These things seem dazzling, but everything is just a flash of light. Suffering from this great change, the Xianbei people who were still enthusiastic to move forward before were in chaos, and many people turned around and fled directly, and even had a tendency to trample on each other and collapse.

Seeing such a situation, Gao Heng and the soldiers who crossed the river first could still endure it, and they forcibly cheered up and charged from behind, even the tun timber officer who had just arrived on the pontoon bridge immediately decided not to stay, but to collect the crossbow and draw his knife, and rode his horse directly across the river to step into the formation!

The whole bridgehead is a mess! But there is no doubt that compared with the momentum of the Han army to survive in death, the Xianbei people obviously have a tendency to collapse!

The Xianbei nobles on the periphery were also panicked, and finally held on to the strength and wanted to drink back the rout, but unexpectedly, the horses' hooves rattled behind them, and then the bowstrings burst, and several Xianbei leaders who commanded loudly immediately fell off their horses, as if Gongsun Xun and Han Dang saw that the fighter had appeared here, and they desperately flew down from the upper reaches to attack.

This blow can be called the final word, the Xianbei soldiers who lost their command have been fighting here for a long time, and they can't imagine why there are Han troops coming over on the flanks, coupled with the crazy horse-style assault behind them, they finally completely lost their will to fight. From the nobles of the royal court to the tribal leaders, and then to the soldiers and herdsmen below, almost all of them chose the road to escape, and I don't know how many people were trampled to death, and I don't know how many people were caught up by the Han army behind them, and then ended with a knife. However, these people still ran north regardless of it, not knowing whether they wanted to escape into the royal court that gave people a sense of security, or did they want to sneak into the night?

In other words, the collapse of the Xianbei people in Qiaotou does not necessarily indicate how much the military strength of the royal court has suffered, but the formed Xianbei army that has gathered on the surface so far is completely gone, and the Han army has gained the initiative on the battlefield in a blink of an eye.

At this time, of course, Cheng Pu would not let the troops swim from the upstream again, but directly ordered all the troops to put on armor and cross the river from the pontoon bridge to assault!

"Sima!" In the midst of the chaotic battle, Wei Yue, who was covered in blood, didn't know where to touch another horse, and then jumped directly to Gongsun Xun, who was happy. "The enemy army is breaking down so quickly...... Let's ignore the royal court, and instead take the opportunity to gather our troops and run downstream along the river, maybe we can return with the whole division! ”

Gongsun Xun immediately glared angrily, just seeing that the other party had just made a great contribution, he did not reprimand the other party in battle. And Wei Yue was glared at like this, so he quickly turned his horse's head and rushed towards the royal court in front of him with interest.

"Wet people go pick up torches!" After driving Wei Yue away, Gongsun Xun turned his head and shouted to the group of escorts and material officials who had just caught up behind him. "Pick up the bows and arrows abandoned by the Xianbei people on the ground, take advantage of the enemy's retreat, and quickly catch up and set fire!"

Or set fire!

It is simply nonsense not to set fire to the night battle, and arson is the strategic goal at the beginning of this battle, because only when the entire royal court is burned can the main force of the royal court dozens of miles away notice the situation here and turn back to rescue.

And the reason why Gongsun Xun decided to take such a risk was also because this royal court looked easy to burn...... The Xianbei people, a newly established grassland people, are their houses made of bricks and stones? They don't burn bricks at all! Does their royal court have any fire prevention measures? Since this place was built more than ten years ago, it has not suffered any military disasters at all, and it has never thought about how to deal with fires!

Therefore, taking advantage of the high summer temperature and south wind, taking advantage of the surrounding vegetation and trees, and taking advantage of the collapse of the enemy, it is time to catch up and set fire!

"Don't enter the royal court to fight in the streets," Gongsun Xun rode forward, chasing the Xianbei rout all the way to the royal court, and then stood on his horse and continued to shout loudly. "Don't go too far after the enemy soldiers, just set fire! Burn the wooden fences, the tents that were built haphazardly, the stables, the barns, the hay they bask outside! When the fire is together, this battle will be our great victory, and we can go home along the river! ”

As soon as the words fell, in the chaotic night firelight, an arrow suddenly flew out of nowhere, shooting Gongsun Xun, who was not wearing armor, directly under the horse.

At this moment, the surrounding Han troops lost their color, the Xianbei people were all stunned, and the entire battlefield seemed to be stagnant!

In an instant, some people are overly surprised, some are subtle, some are at a loss, and some are frightened to death...... However, it turned out that everyone thought too much, because after just a few breaths, without waiting for the surrounding sergeants to come forward to check, Gongsun Xun actually climbed back onto the war horse by himself, and then gritted his teeth and directly broke the arrow on his shoulder in public.

"What are you looking at?" Gongsun Xun threw the broken arrow on the ground, and then pressed his left arm and roared. "If you get an arrow in the arm, will you die? All go and set fire to me! ”

Seeing this scene, the morale of the Han army was greatly boosted again, but the Xianbei people who originally wanted to rely on the royal court fence to organize some resistance were bloodless, and they turned around and fled again, allowing the Han army to set fire!

Since Gongsun Xun ordered Gao Heng to attack, the Han army and Xianbei fought hard for most of the hour, which was an accident for both sides, and the plan failed repeatedly, and they both relied on the opportunity to deal with the situation. But in the end, it was the Han army that defeated the other party with a bloody and brave spirit, first forcibly crossed the water of revenge, and then ignited the Xianbei royal court!

It's summer, and the south wind is slightly drunk...... After all, the Xianbei Royal Court is also the royal court of a large country of thousands of miles, and all kinds of tents, warehouses, and wooden corridors are spread all the way to the halfway point of Danhan Mountain, so the fire is together, and it is difficult to control each other.

From a distance, it is like a torch standing abruptly on the grassland, making it difficult to take your eyes off!

"Bogui, my Sun Wentai has a word, Brother Ling is a real hero!" Dozens of miles away, Sun Jian looked at the firelight in the distance and was stunned for a while, and then after all, he couldn't help but turn around and say to the person next to him.

Gongsun Zhan immediately stood by the side, looking at the north, holding his double-headed long lance, but he was silent.

And on a small slope a few miles away from the two of them, in the dark night, the Xianbei Founding Khan Tan Shihuai, who was just forty years old this year, but was already covered with frost marks, also reined in his horse and turned his head to stare at his royal court and was silent.

“…… Scramble to get into the water. The enemy army was numerous, and Taizu was the first to fight, but he had no armor, but he was repeatedly attacked by swords. Whoever suffers a number of wounds is not wrapped, and all those who receive a number of arrows are broken and thrown to the ground, and the lives of the three armies are lost, and the thieves are discouraged. When it is, there will be those who lose their horses or drag their robes and horses' tails to burst into formation, and those who have arrows will continue to shoot Xianbei's corpse, so although the thieves are numerous, they are still defeated quickly! Taizu is approaching the royal court, raising fire to burn it, the summer night is full of wind, and its light and smoke reflect directly for hundreds of miles, shaking Mo Nan! —The Book of Old Swallows. Volume I. Emperor Taizu Wu Benji

PS: Thank you for the 17-year reward from the book friend, and thank you for the second recommendation of Lily Niang......

And also...... The tactic of dragging the horse's tail to rush into formation is a classic tactic when the Twist Army faces Seng Lingqin, which is generally a combination of two, one person rides a horse or even a donkey, and one person drags the horse's tail or donkey's tail to run behind, the former is responsible for breaking up the formation, and the latter is responsible for mending the knife...... This tactic is simply not too cool to deal with an army that is not very organized.
