However, it was said that after Wang Mang was ready, he led only 1,000 strong men to set off from the rear army.

As for Wang Jingyan, Qiu Tong and other female dependents, they were left in the rear and protected by the six little servants of the Wang family.

Wang Mang stood on the top of the mountain, watching the iron horse surge, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Livestock, wild beasts, and other things are all afraid of fire.

Igniting a fire at the end of a horse can stimulate the ferocity of the horse, making it more violent and more impactful than the average cavalryman.

Of course, horses are precious, and the loss of one is equivalent to the loss of part of the combat effectiveness.

Therefore, although many battlefield veterans know this, they are reluctant to let the horses be frightened.

Because once the tail end of the horse is ignited and frightened, then the horse will be useless and untrainable.

The veteran of the battlefield loves horses, just like his wife and daughter, and he is reluctant to get hurt by his horse. This is just like a modern soldier, who cherishes the hunting dogs in the army very much, and will never cause the hunting dogs to be injured for no reason.

But Wang Mang is different, these war horses are useless to him, and he can't take them away anyway. Now that he can make the war horse exert its strength to the maximum utility, he naturally wants to act like this.

In front of his gaze, Yuan Qing led three hundred iron horsemen, drove four hundred horses, raised the dust in the sky, mighty and fierce, and rushed towards Li Zhong's camp.

The horses were sprinkled with liquor and tied with dry firewood.

The fire was blazing, and the horses were galloping at a galloping speed, and it was like a sea of fire moving rapidly.

"Drive, drive, drive!"

With the help of this unstoppable momentum, the three hundred soldiers slapped the horse's back wildly and drove the crotch. Dismount the horses and gallop wildly.

The spears in their hands shimmered with cold light, revealing a fierce and majestic style.

Li Zhong was in charge of the Chinese army, and the scouts he sent had already found out that there were a few troops stationed in Qiyang Mountain, not far in front of him, and they were about to send orders to the soldiers to challenge.

Suddenly, he was surprised to find that the teacups and bamboo slips on the table were shaking slightly.

"What's going on? What's going on? Could it be that there was an earthquake just by chance? Li Zhong stood up abruptly and walked out of the account to inspect the movement.

When he looked at it, he saw a sea of fire surging towards him, and the neighing of horses was incessant.

Suddenly, he knew it in his heart.

It wasn't an earthquake, it was a storm of horses, and between the stampedes, there was a huge tremor, which affected their own barracks.

Li Zhong's face changed drastically, and he was about to give an order.

At this time, a sentry hurriedly rode his horse and said, "Lord Qiqi, there are hundreds of enemy cavalry in front, and they have arrived at the position of our Chinese army. ”

"Bastard!"

Li Zhong roared angrily, "Zhang Shun, Gao Chao, quickly give the order, the wings are scattered, and the Chinese army retreats." The other party's plan to set fire to the army is just to break up our iron cavalry camp. ”

"The last will be ordered!" Under the tent, Zhang Shun and Gao Chao, two generals, hurriedly rushed to the high place, raised the three-color order flag in their hands, and ordered the three armies to withdraw.

In the land of the Chinese army, the cavalry commander saw the situation and panicked. Organized men and horses to block the front again and again to prevent Yuan Qing's side from attacking with crazy horses.

However, the four hundred war horses were burned by the fire, and they had long lost their minds, and where could they be stopped so easily.

Within a few moments, the horses broke through the barracks and rushed into the depths of the Chinese army.

The fire spread like a plague in an instant.

In addition, they were not prepared in advance, which caused them to lose a lot of soldiers and horses.

Yuan Qing looked up to the sky and laughed, chanting constantly, "Kill...."

"Kill...."

The three hundred cavalry under his command took advantage of the chaos in the opponent's position, galloped wildly, scattered in all directions, broke into pieces, and attacked the two wings.

In the land of the plains, the cavalry reigns. The infantry could only meet in close quarters, and could not stop the cavalry advance. Now when these three hundred cavalry took advantage of the other party's chaos, it was easy to kill.

Han Guang, Zhang Ya, and Sun Boren, the three hundred household commanders in the rear, saw the situation, and with a wave of their big hands, the archers who had already been ambushed immediately shot flying arrows.

Shout....

Wow, hula....

Thousands of sharp arrows crossed the border like locusts, piercing the sky, and shooting indiscriminately towards the two wings of the enemy's Chinese army.

In an instant, the infantry on both wings suffered many casualties.

"Kill...."

After shooting arrows for a while, Han Guang and other generals led their soldiers to cover up and kill them.

At the same time, Xiang Wei and Wang Mang saw that Yuan Qing was in power, and they also led their troops and horses to go out to cover and kill.

These strong men have long been impatient, and now they see that the opportunity has come, and they are expected to make meritorious contributions, and they are overjoyed. Holding a flat hoe, a spear and a big knife, he met with the opponent's scattered soldiers and horses, and fought to the death.

----

In the direction of Xieyang Valley, the 3,000 soldiers and horses led by Xiahou Dun were trapped in the narrow passage of the valley, and they were in a dilemma.

Rushed and killed for a while, and was about to rush to the rear exit.

At this time, Chen Chong's crossbowmen, who had been ambushed earlier, also blocked this exit, and just blindly shot rockets.

In between, above the valley, hundreds of strong men still kept throwing boulders and dry firewood, smashing Xiahou Dun's soldiers and horses, and burning the mountain.

The fire burned for more than half an hour, and Xiahou Dun's soldiers and horses had lost nearly 2,000 people.

Just when they were about to be wiped out, the reinforcements sent by Li Zhong arrived in time and rushed through the exit. shouted: "General Xiahou, don't panic, Lord Li ordered us to come and help break the enemy." ”

Xiahou Dun led the rest of the people to rush out of the siege in one go, frightened, and was almost burned here.

He was quite angry in his heart, glanced at the embarrassed Li Yi, gritted his teeth, and wanted to kill this person immediately to vent his evil anger.

Li Yi also knew the consequences of his sins at this moment, his face was flushed, and he was ashamed.

Xiahou Dun snorted coldly: "Li Yi, if it weren't for you, how could I have lost two thousand elite soldiers?" Later, I will report to Lord Li to adjudicate this matter. Now that Chen Chongzhi's treacherous plan is all out of ambush, we should quickly surround the mountain and kill it back, and take down Chen Chong's head, so that you can make a contribution. ”

"Yes, sir!" Li Yi suffered a big loss, but he didn't dare to mess around again.

Xiahou Dun stabilized, and after taking a few breaths, he was about to lead his troops back to the position of Xieyang Valley. Suddenly, he saw a fire rushing in the direction of his Chinese army camp, and after thinking about it for a while, he was immediately shocked.

"It's not good, this is a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain! Generals, Chen Chong is just a decoy, and I will hurry back to the Chinese army camp as soon as possible. Xiahou Dun said urgently.

"What do you mean by that?" Li Yuan and Li Guang, who rushed to help, were a little puzzled, "Lord Xiahou, the two of us didn't find anything wrong with our Chinese army when we came. And the Chinese army and the two wings have Lord Li personally in charge, how can the other party do anything? And the entire Yingchuan is only less than 3,000 soldiers and horses, how can they divide the troops into two places? ”

Xiahou Dun was about to explain, when at this moment, in the darkness of the jungle directly in front of him, a figure flickered.

Then, a white light flashed and rushed straight to the center of Xiahou Dun's eyebrows.

Xiahou Dun was not in a hurry to dodge, and was hit by the white light in the center of his eyebrows.

At this moment, Xiahou Dun died immediately, and his body fell from the warhorse.

Killing Xiahou Dun, this figure waved his hands several times in a row, and many flying knives and swords rushed out, all of which shot at these generals.

"Oh no, there are traitor assassins!"

Xiahou Dun is a civil official, and his physical reaction ability is relatively weak.

However, Li Yi, Li Yuan, Li Guang and others were military generals and were very vigilant.

Now they saw the fierce light rushing in, and when they saw Xiahou Dun dead, they immediately became vigilant, knowing that this was a secret master who wanted to attack and kill them with a secret weapon.

So he immediately turned over and dismounted, and escaped in a millimeter.

Of course, the supreme commander Xiahou Dun died, and Li Yi and the others were also panicked, not knowing what to do.

Seeing that these main generals had escaped his assassination, and only a few of the lieutenants had died, the white shadow stopped killing him, so as not to be surrounded by officers and soldiers, and said to himself: "Although my bastard little uncle is hateful, his mother misses him after all." If he is threatened here, even his mother will not be able to feel at ease. I have a grudge with him, and I can only wait until the next day to get it back. ”

As soon as the words fell, she vanished, as if she had never appeared.

Chen Chong, who was in the rear, didn't know about this situation, and he was not surprised when he saw the arrival of the other party's reinforcements.

It was expected that in the front direction of Qiyang Mountain, Wang Mang was inseparably killed by Li Zhong, so he led Zhang Gen, Li Sheng and other remnants of the remnants to rush out together, killed Li Yi and others, and dragged them hands and feet.

The commander of Li Yi's side died, and his subordinate soldiers were in turmoil and had no will to fight. did not listen to the command, and scattered on all sides, making a mess.

General Han De sighed, helpless.

The general trend has been lost, and the morale of the army is weakened, so even if the enemy is vulnerable, it can still bring a threat to itself.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you must not stay here for long. Thinking that there must be someone who is proficient in the battle formation on the other side, now that General Xiahou is dead, the army's heart is unstable, I will return to the camp as soon as possible, reorganize the military horses, and fight again in the future. ”

The congregation will hear the words and feel justified. Then, relying on his own prestige, he reorganized his men and horses and fled quickly in the direction of the base camp.

Chen Chong was in hot pursuit in the rear, and the arrows were fired in unison. When he saw Xiahou Dun's corpse later, he was shocked, and he didn't know how this person died here.

So they had their heads cut off and put them in wooden boxes.

Han De was on fire when he fled, and he wanted to stop and fight, but he was afraid that the land of the Chinese army would be dangerous, and he was extremely depressed.

Thinking that he had the chance to win, but he was attacked by an unruly trick, which caused him to lose his troops, which made him very angry.

"Drive, drive, drive!" Han De and the others ran wildly with their heads covered, ignoring Chen Chong's shouting and scolding.

Zhang Gen saw that Li Yi's back was facing him, and the flaws were huge, and he smiled coldly. Pick up a bow and arrow, pull it into a full moon, aim it at Li Yi's vest, and shoot it with an arrow.

Flutter!

Li Yi was not in a hurry to dodge, but was hit by a cold arrow and fell to the ground.

Just as he gritted his teeth and was about to get up and run away again, several small soldiers immediately rushed forward, grabbed him, tied him up, and dragged him to Zhang Genma to ask for credit.

Zhang Gen was overjoyed, and also took the head and put it in a box to serve as a trophy. Then he asked his subordinates to pick up the weapons and armor on the ground, gather those discarded war horses, tie up the prisoners, and expand the strength of his army.

As the saying goes, once the Lord dies, everything will be over!

At this point, the 3,000 soldiers and horses led by Xiahou Dun, plus the 2,000 soldiers and horses of Li Yuan and Li Guang who came to help, lost their troops and collapsed, and they were defeated and returned.
