After nightfall, there was a turbulent wind, and almost every time after a great battle, this yin wind always blew, as if the heavens were going to take away the souls of the dead.

The wounded are undoubtedly the biggest victims of war, and the dead can still be relieved, while the wounded have to bear the pain of the aftermath.

The Qi army suffered a heavy blow, but Ji Yao still had a shy face and hoped that the Xian army would receive hemostatic powder and bandages, Bai Liyan suddenly felt that Ji Yao was still the kind of villain who was very accustomed to seeing the wind and steering the rudder, and his heart gradually became disgusted.

Even so, in terms of reasonableness, public and private, Bailiyan has no reason to refuse, at least not now.

Of course, it was not a free gift, and all the bronze blades and surplus weapons replaced by the Qi army were handed over to the Xian army in exchange for medicines and bandages for the Xian army.

In the first half of the night, the temperature dropped very low, and the serious wounded could not survive, but in the second half of the night, the Xian army was killed by more than 100 people, and the Qi army was even more miserable, with 10,000 casualties of 45,600 people, of which 2,000 were killed in battle, and more than 700 people were seriously wounded and died in the first half of the night.

In the second half of the night, at seven or eight o'clock in the ugly hour, all the generals gathered, Bailiyan lit the alcohol stove to warm his hands, boiled fragrant black tea, and added a handful of snow to it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the barbarian army suffered heavy casualties in the first battle yesterday, and its casualties against our army will also be overestimated, and tomorrow we will definitely take the opportunity to suffer casualties and come to retaliate. It will be dawn in just over an hour, and maybe it will be a little later. The battalions immediately drew out their manpower and took advantage of the darkness to dig the crypt and lay traps, and after dawn, the main forces of our army continued to maneuver with the enemy here. ”

"What about the Qi Army?" Lu Gao asked, he seems to be particularly "enthusiastic" about the Qi army lately

"The Qi army will leave two thousand men to fight in coordination with our army, and the rest of the Qi army will retreat east with the wounded of both armies. Still have questions? ”

"Oh, no." Lu Gao touched his beard, not knowing what he was thinking.

Bai Liyan continued:

"Sikong Nan, the Leopard Tao camp dug a crypt trap to the west and laid a triphorse rope at the same time. General Lu Gao's Longwu camp was dug on the north side of our army. ”

"What about the south side?" Sikong Nan asked.

"Tie the belly of the horses to the horses in pairs of two by two, tie the horse's belly with a tripping horse rope and a meteor thistle rope, pour pine oil and alcohol on the horse's tail, and when the barbarian army breaks through the trap, set the horsetail on fire, and then you should know what the result will be."

"Hey, this attention is really damn amazing!"

Bai He clapped his hands and said worriedly:

"What if this mess comes at us?"

"Su Hong is right, after the war horse was frightened, he galloped wildly, and he accidentally collided with himself."

Sikong Nan agreed, and Bai Liyan said:

"The matter was simple, take off all the clothes of the barbarian corpses, spread them in the south and east sections, and then set them on fire, leaving a gap in the southeast direction, so that the horses would definitely not rush into the fire. After the barbarian army broke through the trap, our army immediately withdrew to the southeast gap, and let the horses go forward with tripwires to attack the barbarian cavalry. ”

In yesterday's battle, more than 6,000 Jin Xuedi war horses were captured, in addition to the wounded, all of them were replaced by the Qi army, leaving a large number of inferior Central Plains war horses, as well as the empty war horses of the Xian army, except for some good horses who withdrew east with Ji Yao, the rest of the wounds were seriously injured and could not be healed, and there were still more than 2,000 war horses that were unbearable. Tie the two of them to each other with tripping ropes, pull a rope between the horses, ignite the horse's tail, and make it charge at the barbarian cavalry, and use the rope and the frightened horse's ass to hit the enemy cavalry, inflicting secondary damage.

"Remember, when lighting a horse's tail, stand farther away with a torch tied to a long pole, and don't stand behind the horse and kick the horse to death!"

"Hey...... The last general will obey! ”

The Salty Army Starry Night uses the small pickaxes and shovels they carry with them to dig traps, large or small, deep or shallow. In order to facilitate the excavation, the Xian army burned a large amount of clothing to heat the ground and soften the eastern soil for excavation.

The big trap can be stuffed, the small one can step into one leg, three broken spears are inserted upside down in the big pit, or two swords are inserted upside down, a sharpened spear wooden pole is inserted upside down in the small pit, and two wooden poles are inserted three or five steps away to tie the tripping rope, and cover it with snow.

The vassal states of the Central Plains have been fighting wars for hundreds of years, and all countries have summed up a set of effective infantry and anti-cavalry tactics, but the unconventional practice of cavalry using infantry tactics against cavalry is very rare.

Not to mention being subject to traditional conservative thinking, first of all, it is extremely crucial to judge whether the enemy is attacking or not, and secondly, it is impossible for the cavalry to be like an infantry army, and the accompanying baggage battalion carries a green tong shovel and a bronze shovel. Only the southern expeditionary army of the Xian Army, a single soldier carrying a short steel quenched shovel and a pickaxe, which was very convenient to carry directly behind him, undoubtedly played a huge role at this time.

By the time of the excavation until dawn, each battalion had dug more than 4,000 crypts and traps, and laid more than 1,000 triphorse ropes, almost turning the area around the camp into a net.

As soon as the sky was bright, the troops of each regiment were repaired, and Ji Yao left behind 2,000 guns to replace the Qi army, and quickly evacuated to the east with the remnants of the horses and the wounded.

As expected, the scouts released by Lu Cheng last night came to report this morning, from the northeast to the southwest, a heavy cavalry of about 20,000 people came from the direction of the Xian army's camp last night.

"General, the barbarian army is less than twenty miles away from our army, they suffered a big loss yesterday, and most of them will not come at a rapid pace today." Lu Cheng said.

"Well, that's right. The endurance of the heavy cavalry was even worse than that of the light cavalry, and yesterday they chased us for fifteen miles, and then they chased us for another twenty miles while fighting and retreating, and after being attacked by our army, they ran for five or six miles, and the endurance of their horses was weakened, so they did not run away. If we pursue our army today, we will definitely release scouts to explore the way, and only when we are sure of our army's traces will we come to sneak attack.

The order was given, and the battalions pretended to rest and treat the wounded, and the Baihe headquarters went out five miles to the west to guard the barbarian army. ”

"No!"

"In addition, each battalion should pay attention to itself, don't step into your own trap, if you die, then the gain will outweigh the loss."

"No!"

The light cavalry and the heavy cavalry had little chance of winning in a head-to-head fight, and it was difficult to win without outwitting.

Jin Xuedi has been at war with the Central Plains for hundreds of years, and has successively captured a large number of documents and craftsmen in the Central Plains.

Around seven or eight o'clock in the morning, north of the camp, the traces of the barbarian scouts were faintly found in the telescope, ten miles away from the camp, if you used the naked eye, it was almost impossible to find the white-haired Jin Xuedi people in the snowy snow.

Bai Liyan suddenly felt that Jin Xuedi must be from the southern polar regions, and their fur was like a polar bear, adapting to the color of the environment.

The barbarian scouts watched sneakily for a quarter of an hour or two, then disappeared into the snow without a trace.

At six o'clock, Bai He came to report:

"General, thousands of barbarian troops have been found in the west, and they are slowly coming towards our army."

Baili Yan twisted her beard and thought for a moment:

"It seems that the rest of the barbarian army will be copied from the north."

"Perhaps so, will our army retreat into the formation?"

"No, you and Sikong Nan led the men of the headquarters to deal with it, remember, try to avoid hand-to-hand combat. The barbarian army was always heavy cavalry, and the gallop speed was not too fast, and the high-speed endurance of its horses was exhausted as much as possible, and then led to the southeast. The rest of the barbarians will be at the disposal of the general. ”

"No, the last will obey."

The barbarian army suffered a big loss yesterday, learned some skin, and also knew that today they would first send people to test and reconnoiter the firepower. When he was young, Bai He, Sikong Nan led more than 5,000 people from the mighty and leopard Tao second battalions to ride forward.

The attacking barbarian army was in a horizontal formation, slow and extremely well-armed, with hundreds of heavy cavalry in the center, both equipped with vests and dressed, which were very different from other heavy cavalry.

"What the hell is this!"

Since the start of the battle at Tiannan Pass, the barbarian heavy cavalry has all been based on silver-gray, black-gray iron half-body plate armor, and among the thousands of heavy cavalry in front of them, hundreds of people are equipped with pale gold armor, and each person is equipped with a metal round shield, the diameter is the same as the size of the pot lid.

"It can't be titanium!"

Bai Liyan laughed at herself, the pale gold armor equipped by the barbarian army looked like a high content of titanium steel at first glance, but obviously this was unlikely, it should be some kind of alloy with gold added to it, and it was definitely not an alloy with copper added.

Because the copper content of high-strength iron-based copper alloys is calculated in thousands, too much will weaken the properties of the material itself, so it is impossible to appear pale gold or yellow, and it is impossible for Jin Xuedi people to have such high-precision smelting technology.

As for whether this kind of armor is a kind of honorary decorative armor, or whether gold elements are added to improve the metal properties of iron-based alloys, it is not known for the time being, but its practical value is highly doubtful.

The two battalions of Weiwu and Baotao quickly made contact with the barbarian army, and at this time, the northern barbarian army detoured to the north of Pingshuang Mountain and attacked from the flank, and the gold-armored heavy cavalry reached two or three thousand giants. To be sure, the gold-armored cavalry is the elite of the elite of the barbarian heavy cavalry.

"All of them, get on the war horse!"

Bailiyan gave an order, lying down, sitting, and pretending to be wounded, all of them were energetic and turned on their war horses, and at this time, the two battalions of Weiwu and Leopard Tao were defeated in a battle, and quickly retreated to the south, retreating while fighting.

The enemy in the north was still in a horizontal formation, and the gold-armored heavy cavalry was in the center, with fourteen or five thousand heavy horsemen all the same color of horse lance, and equipped with one-handed swords as secondary weapons, and the murderous spirit rushed straight to Baili Yan.

Looking at the entire Central Plains vassal states, it is an absolute luxury to be able to equip the cavalry with excellent spears and swords at the same time, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an exaggeration.

At this time, the enemy in the north was less than five miles away from Baili Yan, and Long Wu, Xiao Cai, Scout Battalion, and Qi Jun were like panicked birds, standing in place in confusion, like a group of headless flies without a dragon's head.

The main force of the barbarian heavy cavalry saw that the Xian army was divided into two by "success", and the war horses that originally came slowly immediately turned into a sprint when they approached three miles, and the momentum was so compelling that it could be described as murderous.

Seeing that the barbarian army turned into a charge, Baili Yan gave an order:

"Brothers, withdraw!"

As the words fell, the battalions quickly turned to the southeast and retreated in an orderly manner, retreating halfway, and the vanguard of the barbarian army had already rushed into the preset trap.

Call......

The barbarian army was like harvested wheat and fell down repeatedly, either stepping into the pit or falling into the hole, the cold iron spear and wooden thorns pierced the chest of the war horse in an instant, and even the man and the horse were planted upside down, and the man and the horse were planted inexplicably into the same pit.

The front had just been planted, and before the fallen one could get up, the iron horsemen behind couldn't help but come by stepping on the horse, stepping on their own bodies and continuing to charge, but they continued to fall and overturn.

At the same time, the soldiers and horses of the Xian and Qi armies withdrew, and the fires on the south and east sides were on fire, and a large number of leather clothes quickly burned and raised billowing smoke, and the war horses tied to the south side ignited their tail manes, and they broke away in fright, and rushed towards the barbarian army that was charging at the same time.
