The battlefield was carefully selected by Ning Yuan, and the canal was ten miles behind the coalition army of Later Wei and China, and Ning Yuan's meaning was very clear, he wanted to finish his work in one battle and completely defeat the coalition army. There is one thing that Ning Yuan doesn't understand, that is, with Bai Yunqi's shrewdness, can't he see the meaning of choosing this battlefield? But Bai Yunqi was stunned and agreed, in this way, once defeated, it would be almost impossible for the coalition forces to retreat with their whole body. It seems that shrewd people sometimes make mistakes, and Ning Yuan can only understand it this way.

Today is the day of the war, the army is cooking on the third watch, and the fifth watch is open. In the busy barracks, Ning Yuan was still sitting firmly in front of the desk, but what he was thinking about was his father's teachings last night. Such a big battle is not something that Ning Yuan can call the shots, Mr. Ning Da came to the battlefield in person three days ago, but he has not shown up, he has been secretly commanding, and the number of Zhang Chu's army is not as judged by Bai Yunqi before the war, and only 200,000 can be dispatched. Just ten miles west of Qizhou City, the 100,000 army led by Mr. Ning Da himself is hiding there, and it will only appear today to take over the task of monitoring Qizhou, so Ning Yuan can mobilize at least 10,000 soldiers and horses, which is also the main factor for Ning Yuan to dare to challenge the coalition army, in Ning Yuan's opinion, Bai Yunqi is his own way this time.

"Since Baiyun came to power, the Chinese army has experienced the baptism of the Xiongnu and the civil war, and its combat ability is far higher than that of the Later Wei army, so tomorrow's battle, when judging the situation, with the elite division to break the Wei army first, the coalition army is naturally invincible." Mr. Ning Da's words were still echoing in Ning Yuan's ears, and the war drums of the expedition had already sounded. Putting on his armor, Ning Yuan slowly walked out of the camp, and the 270,000 army was ready to go out.

"The big husband should make a meritorious career. Zhang Chu Guoyun will entrust you. This is Mr. Ning Da's parting message to Dianzidi.

The canal is like a quiet child sleeping before dawn, on a dozen pontoon bridges built in advance, 200,000 allied troops are crossing the river in an orderly manner, and in the darkness Bai Yun is dressed in military uniforms, standing by the river, silently watching the soldiers cross the river.

Early this morning. After the army finished breakfast, Bai Yunqi appeared in the Later Wei army, carrying a large wooden stick in his hand, and all the soldiers did not understand what Bai Yunqi was going to do. Bai Yunqi stood in front of the cooking cauldron and shouted, "Are you all full?" ”

"You're full!" The soldiers said in unison.

"Good!" Bai Yunqi said with a smile, the wooden stick in his hand was raised violently, and the cauldron was smashed violently, and in the surprised eyes of all the officers and soldiers, Bai Yunqi shouted loudly: "Once you are defeated today, I don't know who will have the life to come back to eat this big pot of rice." It's better to smash it to save trouble. Pass on my orders, after breakfast, all cooking utensils should be destroyed, and the logistics personnel should also be ready to go to the battlefield. After saying this, Bai Yunqi turned away silently. All the soldiers felt a peculiar mood pervade the army.

"Your Majesty, the army has all crossed the river." The herald came to Bai Yunqi and reported loudly, Bai Yunqi waved his hand, urged the horses, and began to cross the river with the five hundred soldiers around him.

The 200,000-strong army was lined up, and the other side was ready to rush to the battlefield. Bai Yun did not leave immediately after crossing the river, but gave another order.

"All pontoon bridges were burned, all ships were scuttled." Bai Yunqi's order frightened the whole army, didn't he cut off his retreat at this time? Hu Junbai, who had been following Bai Yunqi, couldn't hold his breath anymore, and said to Bai Yunqi: "Your Majesty." Is this inappropriate? Bai Yunqi didn't answer, just looked at the canal silently. Watching the river slowly move eastward, Bai Yunfan also rushed over after knowing this order. When he saw Bai Yunqi, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this move is not appropriate, I will die if I die, Your Majesty's golden body, how can I leave a way out." ”

The whole army quietly watched Bai Yunqi, waiting for Bai Yunqi to decide.

The white clouds urged the mount. When he came to the soldiers lined up, he shouted into 200,000 pairs of eyes: "This battle is related to the fate of the two countries, once the war is defeated, the loss of the country is a matter of time." On the battlefield, everyone is a life, there is no difference between noble and low, the widow stands here and assures everyone that in today's battle, even if it is the last person to fight, the widow will personally cheer him on. If there is a transgression, it will be like this whip. After Bai Yunqi finished speaking, he broke the horsewhip in his hand and gently threw it on the ground.

"Your Majesty! ......" Hu Junbai still wanted to open his mouth to persuade Bai Yunqi, but Bai Yunqi interrupted: "You don't need to persuade me, I will make a decision, and I will definitely advance and retreat with the three armies, and live and die together." ”

No one said anything anymore, Bai Yunqi stood on a high place and shouted at the other side of the canal: "Ignition! Cut the rope! The prepared soldiers piled firewood on the bridge, lit more than a dozen pontoon bridges with torches, then cut the cables, and let the pontoons burn and roll eastward on the river.

The 200,000 army was silent, silently watching all this, looking at Bai Yunqi's tall back, and watching the appearance of the white belly of the fish in the sky and the earth in the east. The three armies were solemn, and as the fire on the pontoon bridge gradually disappeared from people's sight, a tragic emotion appeared on the faces of every soldier.

"Let's go!" Bai Yunqi gave the order to march.

"Knock knock!" The drums of war sounded, and the soldiers marched towards the battlefield with firm steps.

The vanguard of the two armies met at the rising of the sun, and after a brief tentative attack on each other, both sides wisely halted their advances, and the large armies looked at each other and marched separately.

The battlefield before the Great War was quiet and terrifying, except for the footsteps of soldiers, only the sound of battle flags hunting and flying in the morning breeze could be heard. Suddenly, there was an earth-shattering cheer in the coalition army, and Ning Yuan on the opposite side looked at it intently, it turned out that a royal flag was erected, and under the banner was a white cloud in military uniform.

Ning Yuan, who was standing higher than the battlefield and looking at all this, saw all this, his heart sank suddenly, and the Later Wei army in the coalition army also showed a different momentum from usual, could it be because of the appearance of Bai Yunqi that these changes occurred? Bai Yunqi deserves to be Bai Yunqi, and he really appeared on the battlefield in person. Bai Yunqi, who has not tasted defeat since his debut, will be the end of your glory today. Ning Yuan said this to himself silently in his heart.

The cheers were followed by a dead silence, and the formations of both sides were already set, just waiting for the start of the big battle.

According to the pre-battle arrangement, Zhang Chu's army set up a formation, the Chinese army is the center of the whole army, and it is also the main direction of the opponent's impact, Ning Yuan formed one defense line after another with infantry, and I believe that no opponent can break through. 100,000 elite heavy cavalry were placed on the right side, which was the main force of Zhang Chujun's attack on the opponent today. Looking at the opponent's banner, today's heavy cavalry is opposite the coalition army dominated by the Wei army in the future, and Ning Yuan has a sense of being in the middle.

Today, Bai Yunqi put up a strange formation, and the cavalry is generally placed on both sides, so that it is convenient to give full play to the mobility of the cavalry, but Bai Yunqi put 60,000 cavalry in the middle army, does he want to break through his own formation in the center? Thinking of the heavy troops he had placed in the center, Ning Yuan's confidence was even more sufficient.

The war is about to break out, and the only thing on the battlefield can be heard is the wind whistling and the flags blowing, and once the battle starts, it is unknown how many people will never return to their hometowns. The war horse also seemed to be infected by this solemn atmosphere, and walked uneasily, panting heavily. Both sides are condensing their murderous energy, waiting for the moment when the drums of war will beat.

"Knock knock!" After the war drums sounded in three ways, Zhang Chujun suddenly burst out with an earth-shattering shout: "Kill!" Kill! Kill! The order flag was raised, and the three armies advanced a hundred steps forward at the same time, and the earth trembled with neat steps, and Zhang Chujun moved first.

The war drums sounded, under the royal banner of Baiyunqi, a plain white Baiyunqi personally stood in front of the war drums, picked up a huge drumstick, beat the war drums, the three armies shouted in unison, and those who were not to be outdone also advanced a hundred steps, and the war finally broke out!

The first to dispatch was Zhang Chujun's cavalry troops, Zhang Chu's iron cavalry, famous all over the world, these cavalry wrapped in heavy armor, as if they were small tanks, but also Zhang Chu's magic weapon to sweep the Central Plains coalition army. Today, of course, they have to inherit the glory of their predecessors, as the main attacking force, Zhang Chu's main task today is to quickly destroy the will to resist of the Later Wei army. Ning Yuan has always believed that a fatal weakness of the alliance between the Later Wei and China is that the two sides cooperate temporarily, and it must be difficult to achieve unity in command, which is also the reason why Ning Yuan used heavy cavalry to attack the Later Wei army.

The 50,000 Zhang Chu heavy cavalry of the first echelon was launched, and the cavalry wearing nearly 100 catties of armor rolled up billowing smoke and dust when it was launched, and the resonance of the horse's hooves shook the earth slightly.

Seeing Zhang Chu's cavalry dispatched, Bai Yunqi had a smile on his face, and there were already soldiers who replaced Bai Yunqi to continue to beat the drums, and Bai Yunqi stood under the royal banner, watching every change on the battlefield.

The order flag waved, the well-trained chain car soldiers immediately moved, and the vehicles wrapped in iron armor were quickly connected into a temporary protective wall, the brackets on both sides of the car were propped up, and the shining iron spears pointed at the iron cavalry on the opposite side, becoming the first line of defense in front of the Later Wei army.

When the chain car was sent to his army, Hu Junbai did not take this thing seriously, and when those soldiers skillfully set up a line to block the opponent's cavalry, Hu Junbai understood Bai Yunqi's intentions, according to Bai Yunqi's arrangement in advance, 20,000 strong crossbowmen hid behind the defense line composed of 10,000 heavy infantry, always ready to quickly step forward and devour all opponents with strong crossbows.

The Later Wei Dynasty is famous for its crossbows, with a range of up to 200 steps, and the crossbow body is made of stainless steel, with strong penetrating power, which is the unique weapon that the Later Wei Dynasty relied on to survive.

Zhang Chu's cavalry slowly accelerated, getting closer and closer to the opponent, although he also found the chain car set up by the opponent, but it could not be accelerated to disrupt the rhythm of the advance, the heavy cavalry sprint was limited to the moon, and it was necessary to exert the maximum lethality in this limited sprint time.
