At night, Su Fangyi and Shu Tong at the head of the North Gate were very anxious, and Sai Qian went out of the city to fight for nearly three hours with huge casualties, and Bailiyan did not move, making the situation extremely passive:

"Mr. Su, why hasn't Bailiyan done it yet!"

Su Fangyi used a telescope to look ten miles north, and the barbarian army was clearly visible under the firelight, but the Xian army did not seem to raise the fire, and he did not know where the Xian army was at all.

"It's weird, what is Bailiyan's plan, why don't you do it?"

"It's not going to be a run!" Shu Tong was blunt.

"Baili Yan dares to skip people, and there is absolutely no such possibility. What's more, Master Saiqian is still in Duhui, and if Bailiyan doesn't come, how can he escape without sending a soldier when he comes. ”

"Then why don't you do it for a long time and continue to delay, even if our army goes out of the city, what is the difference between it and the whole army."

As soon as Shu Tong's words fell, the lights were crowded ten miles away, and Su Fangyi shouted:

"Look, let's do it, Bailiyan has done it!"

"Oh!" Shu Tong took out his binoculars and looked north, but found that the lights were scurrying in front of the barbarian army ten miles away, and there were hidden soldiers and horses moving around, and the formation was quite disorderly.

At the same time, the Xian army did not raise fire after nightfall, and completely disappeared from the field of vision of Bakuton's headquarters, Bakuton sent a sentry to go forward, trying to set up a bonfire to set up a preset guard, but was shot dead by Bailiyan marksman, Bakuton unsuccessfully explored the way, and immediately reported the news to the commander of the regiment Nilson.

Nelleson knew that there was a deception, but he really couldn't think of where the deception was, until two quarters of an hour later, the Xian army suddenly attacked:

"Report, report to the commander of the legion, the northerners have attacked!"

The herald said quickly, and Nilleson threw down the leather whip in his hand and hurriedly asked:

"How's the battle going?"

"When it was dark, the northerners took advantage of the darkness to shoot arrows in front of our army's formation, and then turned around and left, General Bakudun led his troops to pursue, not daring to advance, and then retreated to the front of the formation, and is still stalemate."

"Shhh...... Haven't the northerners raised the fire yet! ”

"Yes, the northerners have not yet raised fire."

"Oh no, quick, send an order to Bacudun, turn off the lights, and brake quietly!"

"Yes!"

Nilerson knew very well that the Salon army was armed with a kind of repeating archer's crossbow, which, while not fatal to heavy cavalry, could inflict lethal damage on light infantry and horses.

When it was dark, they raised their own fire, but the Xian army did not raise fire, but the barbarian army became a live target, and the Xian army swept in front of the formation from twenty paces away, and fired random arrows, relying only on the light of the torches in the array, the naked eye and hands could not see the situation of twenty or thirty paces at all. If Bakudun makes a rash attack, he may fall into the trap set by the Xian army.

Just like Jabanis and Kiros, one planted a trap during the day, and the other planted both once during the day and night. Nelleson was also worried about whether the Salty army would set some other trap this time, waiting for him to jump into the fire pit.

At this time, the Xian army continued to harass the barbarian army with crossbows and pine oil canisters in front of the formation, sometimes approaching, sometimes fleeing, hundreds or a thousand at a time, and a burst of arrows left without entanglement at all.

As expected, the Bakuton heavy cavalry did not show the speed advantage it should have, on the contrary, the horses suffered and suffered all day, and their physical strength and state declined rapidly.

"General, Xu Wei led the army to arrive!" Su Hongzong immediately stepped forward and said.

"Great!" Bai Liyan looked up at the moonlight and said, "I pondered, the barbarian army is about to extinguish the fire, and I ordered all the brothers to wrap their arms in bandages." You led the cavalry battalion and set fire to me in front of the battle, the farther away the better. ”

"Yes!"

The pine oil fire cans are tied with ropes, and when used, they are lit with stuffy cotton cloth, and then thrown with ropes, which can be thrown as far as dozens of steps away, and are used for arson and sporadic lighting in small areas, which is extremely convenient. The white towel will stand out in the dim light and in the night, which is good for distinguishing friend from foe.

In the afternoon, it was found that the barbarian army was stubborn and did not fight, and Baili Yan expected that the people of Jinxue Di were worried about repeating the mistakes of Pingshuangshan and Luyuan slope last year, so they made a temporary decision and planned it.

When he was young, the lights of the barbarian army were extinguished, and Su Hong led his headquarters to set fire to the front of the formation, and was chased and killed by the heavy cavalry of the Jin Xuedi people, and he fled, but he did not lose a few people.

Xu Wei, Lu Zhao, Jiang Zhan, and Wu Deng led their troops to arrive one after another, and lined up on the north and south flanks of the cavalry to prepare for battle.

"Xu Fei, Lu Zhao, Jiang Zhan, Wu Deng, the place where there is a hidden spark in front of the barbarian army is in front of the barbarian army, in the middle of the enemy formation is the spearmen, after the spearmen are the archers, there are 5,000 heavy cavalry on the left and right wings, you and the other four people each lead the infantry under their command, and give me a surprise attack on the heavy cavalry on the left and right wings. Remember, cut off the horse's leg before you kill, and then kill the barbarians. Ben personally led the cavalry to go around behind him and attack the archers behind him, you know it all! ”

"Understood!" The four of them spoke in unison.

"Okay, get ready to attack!"

At this time, the barbarian army was busy extinguishing the fire caused by pine oil, and Bakuton sent out 3,000 heavy cavalry, lined up in front of the spearmen's formation, and used iron shields and vests as a cover to prevent the Xian cavalry from charging again and firing arrows indiscriminately.

Just as Bacudun wondered why the Xian army was suddenly silent, the iron hooves of iron in the darkness were accompanied by the neighing of war horses, and they were not hundreds or thousands of people before, this time it was thousands.

"Not good, get ready for battle!"

At the command of Bakuton, the short three hundred paces swept by like a blink of an eye and a violent wind, and the six thousand cavalry of the Xian army came from the middle of the killing, and when they approached the thirty paces in front of the formation, they quickly divided into two and withdrew from the north and south.

When galloping, the crossbow and pine oil fire pot in his hand flew into the barbarian army's formation, and the barbarian iron horse shield made a metallic crisp sound, weakly penetrating the iron shield, but only leaving insignificant damage.

In the darkness of the night, the cavalry of the Xian army quickly swept in front of the formation, and Bakudun did not dare to pursue. At the same time, the 8,000 foot soldiers of the Xian army approached quickly, and before the barbarian iron cavalry could recover from the inexplicable attack, the 8,000 infantry army had already killed in front of the battle unconsciously.

With the help of the moonlight and the faint firelight, when the two armies approached to ten steps, the barbarian army suddenly found that countless figures in the dark night were close at hand, and the Xianjun infantry saw the Jin Xuedi people at the same time.

"Brothers, kill me!"

"Kill!" The morale of the troops was high.

Xu Feng and Jiang Zhan held the front of the battle, and the soldiers behind them went forward one after another, and when Bakuton reflected, the 8,000 infantry of the Xian army was already approaching the iron cavalry, and almost before his order was spread, the front iron cavalry had already been cut off by the Xian army's horizontal knife hand, and the mobility that the cavalry relied on was completely lost under the squeeze of the two wings of the Xian army's foot soldiers.

The fundamental prerequisite for mobility is that there must be enough room for maneuvering and detouring, and no matter how good the cavalry is, once it loses the space for movement, the cavalry will be useless except for the superiority of condescending. And in front of the Xianjun chain composite armor, the condescending blade weapon damage is almost meaningless.

On the contrary, the barbarian heavy cavalry, which was outflanked from both flanks and quickly encircled, after losing the space for movement, was like a turtle in an urn, and the cavalry could not gallop at high speed, while the skilled leg cutting skills of the Xianjun horizontal knife hand could cut down several war horses almost in a minute, and the speed, skill, and speed of the blade could be called a miracle.

At the same time as chopping down the horse's legs, the war horse pushed on the ground, forming an obstacle, which once again restricted the cavalry inside the formation to escape and move outward, and once again weakened the maneuver space of the barbarian cavalry.

At the same time, Bai Liyan led Lu Gao and Sikong Nan to bypass the big formation, divided into the north and south flanks, and quickly detoured behind the barbarian army, Bai He and Su Hong led the men and horses of the headquarters to assist Xu Fei, Lu Zhao, Jiang Zhan, Wu Deng and others from the north and south flanks of the big array, and packed up the barbarian iron cavalry that tried to forcibly break through on the periphery to fill the gap in the battle line.

When Bailiyan led the army from behind to break into the barbarian archers' array, swept back and forth on a rampage, and encountered the counterattack of the barbarian spearmen, he immediately urged the cavalry to turn around and flee, and the crossbow arrows in his hands were endless, so that the barbarian army was surrounded on all sides.

By the time the fierce battle had arrived, the barbarian heavy cavalry was gone, and it could no longer be called heavy cavalry, but heavy infantry.

"Jiang Jie, Jiang Jie!"

In the chaotic army, Baili Yan shouted, Jiang Jie collected his gun and urged the horse to come, soaked in blood:

"The subordinates are here!"

"Blow the trumpet!"

"No!"

When he was young, the trumpet sounded loudly, and Xu Fei, Lu Zhao, Wu Deng, Jiang Zhan and others retreated when they heard the news:

"Brothers, retreat according to the plan, retreat quickly!"

Xu Rong, Lu Zhao, Wu Deng, and Jiang Zhan each led their headquarters to retreat from the north and south wings, the speed was so fast, moving like a rabbit, with the advantage of walking on weekdays, as well as the weight of light armor, the strength was still there after the battle, and the "heavy infantry" of the barbarian army was quickly thrown away under the retreat.

The barbarian "heavy infantry" was not in a hurry, dragging at the end of the barbarian army's array, at this time the barbarian archers who were killed by Bailiyan were no longer threatening, and the barbarian scattered pikemen were chasing after the Xian army.

Seeing this, Xu Wei, Lu Zhao, Wu Deng, Jiang Zhan and others led the army back to fight back and fight with the barbarian spearmen. Lu Zhao, Xu Fang, and Wu Deng's marchers were all accustomed to archery, and a burst of arrows covered them, and the barbarian spearmen who were chasing after them immediately fell in large numbers.

When the two armies encountered, the Xian army was covered with a rain of arrows, and when it came to the battle, there were few barbarian spearmen left who pursued and killed Xu Wei, Lu Zhao, and Wu Deng. On the contrary, Jiang Zhan's troops fought fiercely with the barbarian spearmen, and thanks to the chain mail, the losses were not large, and the wounded were all shot in the legs.

When the "heavy infantry" of the barbarian army was approaching, Xu Wei, Lu Zhao, Wu Deng, and Jiang Zhan led their troops to retreat to the north and south sides again, and at this time, Bailiyan led the army to basically solve the barbarian army's crossbowmen and sporadic pikemen, and their own soldiers and horses were also scattered.

"Jiang Jie, blow the rallying call of the cavalry, let people go separately to pass all the horses of Lu Gao, Sikong Nan, Su Hong, and Bai Hesuo, and attack the back of the barbarian heavy infantry to the south, first solve all the barbarian troops on Jiang Zhan's side, and then join Xu Fei, Lu Zhao and others, go quickly!"

"No!"

The cavalry of the barbarian army was completely lost, the formation was in chaos, the orders were not carried out in order, and the battlefield organization was completely lost, and the Xian army was no better, and the battalions were withdrawn while gathering men and horses, and if it had not been planned in advance, the situation would not have been better than that of the barbarian army at this time.
