Not long after Han He ordered to stop the attack, the front army and the Chinese army of the Jin army withdrew from the battlefield one after another, and at the same time, they continued to surround the army of Ding Yang Hou with 10,000 cavalry and a rear army, preventing the Jin army from being chased and killed by Ding Yang Hou on the way to retreat.

At the same time, Wei Han, the governor of the capital, led 20,000 cavalry to the west of Xiaosui to stand by, while the vanguard of the Xian army was more than ten miles away at this time.

Zhao Xun led the army to march in a hurry, and when it was less than fifteen miles away from the Sui Sui, he changed the rapid march to a regular march, so that the soldiers could take a breath, so as not to be too tired and thrown into the battlefield, but it was easy to be defeated by the Jin army.

Just as the march had slowed down, the scouts in front reported:

"Report ...... Report to General Zhao, thirteen miles ahead found more than 20,000 cavalry of the Jin army blocking the way of our army. ”

"Exploring!"

"No!"

The scout retreated, Zhao Xun was suspicious, and at this time, Bailiyan (Wei Xian) urged him to step forward:

"General Zhao, he, Han He, is going to run!"

"Run? Why do you want to escape? Since the Marquis of Dingyang has been besieged, and the decisive battle is on the same page, why did he give up the siege and let our army join forces. ”

"If he fights with our army at this time, he will definitely not be able to take advantage of the Jin army. If it is under the city of Duyang, our army will be bound to the city and have to attack the city. ”

"In that case, can you send troops to drag Han He?"

"No, since Han He blocked my way with 20,000 cavalry, he must have already pulled out the camp and delayed our army's rescue. And there is only one way to the horror of the ear, there is no other way.

For today's plan, we should immediately set up a battle formation and march step by step, so as to prevent the cavalry of the Jin army from attacking the infantry in a roundabout way. At the same time, Lu Jing's cavalry was ordered to attack and engage in battle. When the Marquis of Ding Yang broke out of the encirclement on his own and came to join us, he could take advantage of the situation of the two armies to attack and encircle from east to west, and force the Jin cavalry to retreat on their own. ”

"That's very good. Where is Yao Sheng! ”

Zhao Xun ordered Yao Sheng to quickly send an order to Lu Jing, and ordered him to lead all the cavalry to the east to assault, so that with 24,000 cavalry to attack and kill the 20,000 tired cavalry of the Jin army, he could not win a big victory, and he would not be too embarrassed.

At the same time, the infantry army set up a formation on the spot and marched in unison to prevent the Jin army from attacking in a roundabout way.

Soon after Lu Jing received the military order, he led the cavalry directly to the Jin army Wei Han's department, in fact, even if there was no Zhao Xun military order, Lu Jing learned that there were only 20,000 Jin cavalry, and he would attack on his own.

At this time, Wei Han was ready, waiting for his 20,000 cavalry to set up a position, but he did not intend to charge and kill the Xian infantry. Obviously, the Xian army also has more than 20,000 cavalry, and it is impossible to get around, so it is better to take the Xian cavalry and infantry to separate, try the strength of the Xian cavalry head-on, and find out the bottom of the decisive battle of Duyang City.

At present, the Jin army has been consumed, and there are still more than 35,000 cavalry, which is more than the Xian army, but it has never fought the Xian cavalry head-on, and I don't know the depth of the Xian cavalry.

The cavalry of both sides had already opened their formations, and when the distance was less than two miles, both sides could already see each other on the plain, and in the distance they could see the flying dust set off by the galloping horses, and the trembling ground seemed to turn the whole ground over.

Lu Jing saw that the Jin army was coming, and immediately urged the war horse to lead the army to kill. The two armies clashed for a moment, accompanied by the roar of people shouting and neighing, and the battlefield stirred up a surging murderous aura.

The soldiers on both sides have no grievances on weekdays, and at this moment of battlefield fighting, they are all their own masters. The soldiers of the Xian army were to defend the country, and the Jin army would be ordered by the king to fight, but in the end it was just a killing to satisfy the king's desires.

Tens of thousands of cavalry swords and staggered, the Xian army in the case of numerical superiority, actually did not occupy the peak at all, on the contrary, the Jin army was more and more frustrated, with the iron spear and short sword in the hand of the weapon advantage, and the Xian army under the battle, quickly gained the initiative on the battlefield.

At the same time, the infantry led by Zhao Xun was still several miles away, and only Bailiyan single-handedly rushed to the battlefield to watch the battle from afar, and the result was greatly unexpected by himself:

"I didn't expect Jin, the cavalry of the army to be so fierce, 20,000 people actually didn't lose 24,000 people!"

Sighing, Bai Liyan couldn't help but shake her head.

In fact, the victory and defeat were divided early, although the cavalry of the Jin army was less than 4,000, but they were all strong men, and most of the weapons were iron.

On the other hand, in the Xian Army, most of the cavalry soldiers were young men of seventeen or eighteen, and the infantry who had just learned to ride horses had to be pulled onto the battlefield within a few days. The guys in their hands are all bronze blades, although after the capture of Feicheng, they found a lot of iron blades of the Jin army, but when they were assigned to the army, the three of them could not share an iron blade.

With such a huge gap in the quality of weapons and soldiers, no matter how many people there are, they are just cannon fodder.

Bai Liyan always believed that death was easy because he was a doctor and knew how fragile life was. But to die meaningfully, it is not so easy.

If Lu Jing could listen to his own advice, how could he have fallen to the point where he is today. Thinking of all this, Bai Liyan couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

"Now, I'm afraid I can only do it to the end."

Bai Liyan knew that Han He's retreat to Duyang to seek a decisive battle was to kill and injure the Xian army to the greatest extent and wait until he made a comeback in the future. It's too late to change the deployment now.

When the cavalry of the Jin army and the Xian army were fighting in a big way, the besieged Dingyang Marquis saw that the Jin army was weakening, so he expected that Zhao Xun and Lu Jing's reinforcements must have arrived and scared Han He away. It's just that Ding Yanghou didn't understand why his reinforcements were three days later than expected.

When the rear army of Han He also withdrew one after another, Ding Yang Hou gave an order, and all the soldiers and horses under his command were immediately killed, and they concentrated on breaking through to the west.

At the same time, the sky began to get dark, and Zhao Xun's infantry army honestly walked a few miles, and then engaged in the hook and sickle vanguard battalion to fight, if Zhao Xun hadn't arrived in time, I am afraid that Lu Jing's more than 24,000 people would really be defeated.

Zhao Xun was killed, and the Marquis of Ding Yang also jumped out of the encirclement and merged, Wei Han saw that the sky was not yet dark, and the Xian army from the east and west came in a big way, and there were signs of encirclement, so he immediately ordered the whole army to retreat. Without waiting for Zhao Xun's infantry army to press all the troops, Wei Han broke away from the battlefield, took his men and horses, and broke through to the west according to the plan.

Lu Jing wanted to follow and kill, just because his men and horses were really no match for the Jin army, and the horses were plateau war horses, and their running speed and endurance were three points stronger than the ordinary Central Plains horses in Xianguo. The competition for escape is speed, which is precisely the biggest fatal wound of the Xianjun cavalry.

Seeing that the cavalry of the Jin army had fled far away, Lu Jinghuo led the army to meet the Marquis of Dingyang. Marquis Ding Yang was already on his way west at this time, and when he saw Lu Jing coming, the first sentence was to ask him:

"Lu Jing, why did you delay coming for three days, do you know that you almost put Benhou's army to death!"

"Ten thousand deaths to my subordinates!" Lu Jing knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty and said: "The reason for this is to ask the Marquis of Dingyang." ”

"Say, why did it delay for three days?"

"It was Zhao Xun who led the army to defeat Feicheng, so it was delayed for three days."

Hearing that Feicheng had been conquered, Zhao Xun was taken aback:

"What, Feicheng has fallen!"

"Exactly, not only did it lay down the fat city, but also accounted for countless grains and grass of the Jin army, which was enough for our army for more than half a year."

Lu Jing explained the reason in detail, Ding Yanghou's face became more and more intriguing, he squeezed his eyebrows quietly, and the expression on his face was indescribable:

"Then let me ask you, if you don't lead the army to come, he Zhao Xun will not send troops to save Benhou!"

"I think so. According to Zhao Xun's words, after his subordinates led 20,000 cavalry to capture Hechi, Zhao Xun and the last general's infantry army only had more than 40,000 people in Feicheng, which was not enough to threaten the Jin army.

Therefore, it was necessary to wait for Han He and the general to kill each other, and Zhao Xun led his troops to come again, and at this time, Han He and the general suffered heavy casualties, and Han He's back road was cut off, so he had to think of retreating. In this way, Zhao Xun can avoid the edge of the Jin army and force the Jin army to retreat to the east of Hechi, and our army will find an opportunity to fight again in the future. ”

"Humph!" Marquis Ding Yang was furious: "Zhao Xun, dare to put Benhou to death." If it is based on today's situation, if you say that it is five days, it is three days, and the Hou will be hit hard by the old thief of Hanhe, how can you have the opportunity to fight again, joke! Zhang Jun, Marquis of Dingyang, was furious.

The first is that Zhang Jun, the Marquis of Ding Yang, thinks that Zhao Xun will not be saved because of his opinion, and the second is that Feicheng was overcome, and he Zhao Xun took the lead in taking the lead, and Ding Yang Hou himself was trapped and lost face due to his decision-making mistakes.

The above two factors are superimposed, and Ding Yang Hou is even more convinced that Zhao Xun intends to use his Ding Yang Hou's blood in exchange for Zhao Xun's own military exploits. What to avoid the edge of the Jin army and fight again on a certain day is perfunctory. This crossing of the river is a decisive battle, and it can be delayed for a long time.

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed Zhang Jun became:

"Pass on the order of General Ben Hou, the Chinese army will set up three miles south of Xiaosui, and let Zhao Xun and Wei Xian come to see me!"

"No!"

Lu Jing received the order, and immediately urged the horse to go west, and the Marquis of Ding Yang led the army to camp south of the Sui.

The reason why the camp was set up in the south of the Sui was because it was not far from the forest, which was not conducive to the maneuver of the Jin cavalry. In addition, he has been tossed by Han He's cavalry enough in recent days, and the Marquis of Ding Yang at this time still has palpitations.

If it weren't for the abundance of carriages, I am afraid that the 40,000 or 50,000 cavalry of the Jin army would have broken through the Chinese army at this moment.

The army moved south, and Lu Jing came from the east with his own soldiers and collided with Zhao Xun:

"General Zhao Xun, Marquis Ding Yang ordered you and Wei Xian to go to the big tent of the Chinese army quickly, without delay."

When Zhao Xun heard the news, he already thought about it at the moment:

"Ben will go later."

"Don't forget Wei Xian, the Marquis of Ding Yang is about to thank him!"

Lu Jing's words are intriguing, with coldness in irony, it is obvious that Lu Jing saw what Ding Yanghou said.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xun urged the horse to find Bai Liyan, who was learning about the casualties of the battle between the cavalry of the two armies.

Since the war horses of the Jin army are all from the Song Kingdom, the war horses have excellent endurance, most of the weapons are iron, and the sergeants are all in the prime of life between twenty and thirty years old.

And Xianguo is much worse, except for the captured more than 4,000 war horses, the rest are ordinary northland horses, speed and endurance are not good, plus the soldiers, quality, weapons are not good, in the case of more than 4,000 people, it is more than 1,000 casualties than the Jin army.

The corpses left behind by the Jin army were about more than 1,500, plus the wounded soldiers who fled, at best he was 2,000.

However, the Xian army actually suffered more than 3,000 dead and wounded, and the recruits accounted for more than eighty percent, and the vast majority of the recruits were between the ages of 16 and 18.
