The barbarian army was frustrated in the charge, and he already realized that he had stepped into the trap of the Xian army, and felt ashamed, and was about to adjust the direction to find the shame of the Xian army, more than 2,000 war horses were tied to each other with tripping horses and meteor thistles, surging towards the barbarian army like a tide, and when the barbarian army saw the situation clearly, the crazy war horses had rushed to the front.

"Oh...... Damn it...... Withdraw, withdraw quickly......"

The barbarian general's heart sank, and he shouted loudly, busy turning the war horse or trying to escape.

Without waiting for the war horse to turn around, the meteor thistle rope swept behind him, knocking it to the ground with the people and horses, and then was trampled by his own war horse, the solid golden armor was twisted and deformed in a blink of an eye, and the ribs in his chest were broken.

Bailiyan (Wei Xian) led the army to the east of the fire, took out a telescope and looked at it, and his face was full of joy:

"Good example, all battalions listen to orders and prepare to charge!"

"Prepare to charge!"

The herald shouted loudly, and the soldiers quickly adjusted their positions and launched an attack formation. Baili Yan's spear pointed at the air, and the order was like a rainbow:

"Soldiers, kill me!"

"Kill, kill!"

Baili Yan took the lead, the Longwu battalion was on the right, the Xiao cavalry battalion was on the left, the guards followed, the Xiao cavalry camp and the Qi army attacked last, and more than 7,000 people attacked in formation, with the momentum of overwhelming the mountains and seas, the power of thunder, like a flood beast opening its bloody mouth, pounced on his prey on the whole line, tearing every inch of the enemy's flesh and blood.

When it was young, the two armies were staggered, the sound of killing came and went, the barbarian army was first stumbled by the trap, and then the horse rope was tethered, the square inch was in chaos, and when the position was unstable, the side of the Baili Yan Department was killed, and it was a heavy blow, the barbarian army was caught off guard, and the flank was instantly surrounded by the huge fan of the Xian army.

Bailiyan rushed into the formation, found the golden armor heavy horse, urged the horse to step forward is a shot stabbed over, the tip of the spear pierced half an inch is stuck, the same position stabbed three times in a row, stunned with a lot of effort, before the golden armor pierced through. Even so, the gold-armored heavy cavalry was stunned and failed to stab him to death, and when he was injured, he waved his hand and shot falsely, and the horse fled.

"If you want to escape, it seems that you still know how to write dead words!"

He scolded, and raised the crossbow is an arrow, only to see the crossbow arrow shoot into the back of the golden armor heavy horseman, piercing an inch deep.

"It turns out that it's not iron-clad and copper-clad, and it's just the same for the back armor!"

Although this arrow did not shoot the golden armor heavy cavalry off the horse, it can be seen that the iron armor behind the golden armor heavy cavalry is far less than the front, the front chest is thick, and the back is thin.

The two armies continued to fight, and the barbarian army was heavily armoured, not only did the people wear heavy armor, but the war horses also wore heavy armor, and the crossbow was difficult to be effective.

The two sides fought fiercely, and the Xian army gradually drove it southwest to the trap to the west of the camp. At the same time, it made a detour to the northwest to prevent the barbarian army from fleeing to the northwest on heavy horses.

At noon on the day of the killing, Sikong Nan and Bai He, who had been fighting for a long time, retreated while fighting, leading the thousands of barbarian heavy cavalry to more than 20 miles to the southeast.

When the horses of the barbarian army were dragged out of breath, the two battalions of Leopard Tao and Weiwu were divided from the left and right, and cut off the heavy cavalry and the brigade that the barbarian army ran at the end in a roundabout way, concentrated the superior forces in the local area, divided the lone team of the barbarian army, and gradually encroached on it, accumulating small victories into big victories.

When it came to Shen, the barbarian army was heavily ridden and fought to the death for a day, exhausted and physically exhausted. Trying to retreat westward. Seeing that the sun is setting, the barbarian army is fighting to break through, and the two armies still have not decided the victory, Bailiyan blew the copper whistle and decisively ordered the troops to be withdrawn.

In a few hours, the Xian army quickly retracted, and the barbarian heavy cavalry also quickly retreated westward when they saw this, but halfway through the road, they stepped into sporadic traps and stumbling ropes that had not yet been triggered, and planted a person to turn over on his back.

"General, why are you collecting troops, you are going to defeat them, it's a pity to collect troops at this time." Su Hong croaked, as if he was still unsatisfied.

"Our army has exhausted its strength and can no longer fight, in case the barbarian army still has ambushes, the consequences are unimaginable. Go, bring someone to pick up Sikong Nan and Bai He, and let them withdraw. ”

"No!"

Looking down at the battlefield, the eyes were full of blood from the stumps, and there were countless victims. The disparity between the combat power of the light cavalry and the heavy cavalry was huge, and they were never defeated even though they devised clever schemes, which shows that the combat power of the heavy cavalry is far from being comparable to that of the light cavalry, and the enemy still has a numerical advantage.

At dusk, Sikong Nan and Bai He withdrew their troops and returned, but it was much easier than Bai Liyan and others.

"General, the last general and Bai He killed 1,875 barbarian heavy cavalry, wounded about 700 enemies, maybe a little less, captured more than 1,000 horses, a number of weapons, and killed more than 400 people in the two battalions of Leopard Tao and Weiwu, and wounded more than 1,000 brothers."

Hearing the Sikong Nanzhan battle report, Bai Liyan was slightly surprised, and hurriedly asked:

"How did you kill so many!"

"That's the case, after the last general and Bai He led the barbarian army away, they found that the barbarian heavy cavalry team was scattered and disorderly, and when the strength of its horses was exhausted, the endurance of our horses was acceptable, so they detoured left and right behind them, and singled out their lone heavy cavalry to besiege."

"Oh, I see. There are differences between horses and horses, and they are not visible for a short distance, but when they run too much, they are exposed. ”

"Exactly, heavy cavalry horses run for a long time, and it is easier to be alone than light cavalry horses after running for a long time. In addition, the last general found that after the endurance of his horse was exhausted, he shot his horse in the leg with a crossbow arrow, and only one arrow could make his horse collapse to the ground, which was very fast, and this battle also took advantage of this. ”

"Got it......

Bailiyan suddenly became big, Sikong Nan's move was indeed lacking in virtue.

When the horse is half-dead and his muscles are cramping and prostration, such an arrow comes up at the horse's leg, which is definitely enough to drink a pot. It's like a team member who has just finished a marathon, and suddenly stabs him in the thigh, and he can immediately lie on the ground and can't move.

Although the barbarian army put iron armor on the war horses, half of the horse's legs were not armored, and if an arrow was aimed at the horse's legs, the horse would definitely not be able to stand it, and in such a cold day, even if it was not planted, it would not take long for most of the horse's legs to be wasted.

Before dark, the casualties of the Longwu, Xiaocai, Scout, and Qi armies were counted one after another, and the three battalions of Longwu, Xiaocai, and Scouts lost 721 people killed and 2,457 wounded, of which more than 300 were seriously wounded.

A total of 5,861 barbarian left ears were cut, more than 2,000 uninjured horses were captured, a number of weapons and rations were captured, and the results of Sikong Nan and Baihe were combined, and it is not known whether they missed or escaped with wounds, but from this calculation, the casualties of the barbarian heavy cavalry will not be less than 8,000.

Excluding the Qi army, Xian's casualties today are less than 4,500, and yesterday's casualties have already exceeded half. And the barbarian army still has at least 10,000 heavy cavalry. If it weren't for today's calculations, the casualties would definitely be upside down.

After dark, the scouts came to report that after the barbarian heavy cavalry retreated westward, they camped fifteen miles away from the Xian army, most of them were exhausted and could no longer afford to continue to flee westward, or they still wanted to continue to fight again.

At night, the dead brothers were buried, and the Xian army changed their camp and camped.

"General, this barbarian army is only fifteen miles away from us, will it come to attack us tonight?"

Su Hong guessed, Sikong Nan chewed on the sugar paste and said negatively:

"Unlikely. This morning they have already fallen into the trap of our army, the stumbling horse rope and the fire horse rope formation, they are exhausted, most of them will not come to steal the camp tonight, are they not afraid that our army will set a trap to frame them again. ”

"What Sikong Nan said makes sense, the barbarian army is indeed unlikely to sneak up on us." Bai Liyan affirmed, and continued: "But if it's a beast soldier, I'm afraid it's hard to say. ”

"Beast soldiers!" Lu Gao's heart was furious: "That's not dead." ”

"General, isn't it scary!" Sikong Nan worried.

"Nothing is impossible. Even if it weren't for tonight, they would have suffered a great loss today, and they would not have stopped there. A messenger must have been sent to the camp to report the news. Next time, it will be the orc. It will arrive at noon tomorrow at the earliest. Therefore it was the intention of Ben that we would attack them tonight. ”

"What, let's go steal the camp!" Lu Gao was surprised: "Our horses haven't eaten forage for two days, can they still move!" ”

"I know that the brothers are tired, but at this time, whoever can survive will survive. If you don't break through tonight, I'm afraid it will be too late tomorrow. ”

Horses can go without food for a few days, but they will lose weight and their physical strength will also decrease. In winter, the horses eat hay that has been stored in advance, or they move to pastures with shallow snow for grazing. The snowfall in the south has been getting thinner and thinner from east to west, so there are more snow pastures in the west.

The snow near Pingshuang Mountain is only calf deep, and further west to Xiaochi Road, the snow will be shallower, and the horses can feed after the horses have stepped on it.

After dividing the troops with Cao Chizheng, the horses of the Xian and Qi armies have not entered the forage for two days, under the fierce battle, the physical loss is huge, and the barbarian army has blocked the passage to the west, if it cannot be defeated, the barbarian army will have reinforcements to attack tomorrow in the dark, or beast soldiers, or cavalry, in short, the situation is bound to be extremely dangerous.

Bailiyan decided to attack the barbarian army at night, and the question of how to attack the camp was in front of him, Sikong Nan said:

"Although the barbarian army is only fifteen miles away from me, if you want to steal the camp, our army will march in disguise, and the barbarian army will definitely not raise fire when it comes to light equipment, even if it is a clear and moonlit night now, you can't see the barbarian army with your glasses. If you find the wrong way, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

"It's very simple. Our troops now have torches lit, and they can be placed on the north and south sides of the camp, one at every three paces from east to west, and fifty torches can be inserted.

In this way, our army marched from east to west, and as long as we saw whether the fifty torches behind us were all on the same line, if they were roughly on the same line, our army was not on the wrong path, and if they were not on the same line, our army was on the wrong direction. ”

The barbarian camp did not raise fire, not only because it came in a hurry and without preparation, but also to prevent the camp from being stolen at night. Even if we know the location of the barbarian army now, no one can guarantee that they will not go the wrong way, and if you use the stargazing navigation method, the distance is too short, and it is easy to make major errors.

The Xianjun now has bright torches, and there are bonfires, using the principle of two points and one line, the torches are inserted in a row, which can be used to mark the route. Just like the airport ground control lights, they are used as a reference for landing assistance at night. At the same time, it will not abruptly light the torch and arouse the vigilance of the barbarian army.

The plan for the night attack was set, and the battalions hurried to rest, and Lu Cheng scattered all the scouts and carefully expanded the scope of vigilance.

The barbarian army suffered a big loss, and it is inevitable to find out the situation of the Xian army, and it is very likely to take advantage of the night to sneak to the nearby driver to snoop, if it is discovered that the Xian army suddenly attacked in the second half of the night, the consequences will be unimaginable. The dark sentry must be released in advance, and those that can be touched in advance must be touched, and those that cannot be found are waited for it to move, and then it is the same.
