At the beginning of the day, the sky has just dawned, and the autumn morning glow reflects the eastern sky. Zhuang Yi led an army of 40,000 Xi people to assemble in a series according to the battle, and then marched towards the predetermined battlefield. Turus was supported by Alan's arm, and the father and daughter stood at the top of the city wall, silently watching the army go away against the morning breeze. Turus had no intention of going to the battlefield in person, and the people in the city needed him even more to calm their minds. Ailan was worried about his clansmen and Zhuang Yi, and silently prayed for him in his heart.

The army spread out in battle formation, stretched for several miles, and slowly marched north for ten miles, waiting for the enemy in a queue of steps. At this time, the Khitan army had not yet entered the battlefield, but it sent a large number of cavalry, one team of five hundred horsemen, to patrol and spy on the battlefield.

Zhuang Yi's front army was Ke Zhen led 4,000 light cavalry and 1,000 heavy cavalry, and Bao En led 3,000 Wei Jing cavalry, mixed into 8,000 cavalry; The Chinese army is led by Zhuang Yi and Shuli, with a total of 12,000 elite light cavalry and 1,000 heavy cavalry, the left and right two Ji are Hegu Nu and Qihe Kun and each lead 8,000 light cavalry, and the rear army is 6,000 cavalry of the old and weak reserve led by Sunu.

In addition to the front, middle and rear armies that are relatively close to each other, the main role of the left and right armies is to protect the flank, and they are half a mile away from the Chinese army. At the same time, the left and right armies also sent rangers to cover the battlefield, in case the Khitan probe horses reconnoitred nearby and saw the reality of the whole army.

The all-cavalry battle is not like a close phalanx like a mixed cavalry, but a rows of wave-like formations. The distance between the left and right riders is about one step, and the row distance between the front and rear rows is one and a half steps. The whole formation is a huge cone-shaped formation that occupies a radius of seven or eight miles, which is convenient for launching a high-speed mobile charge without the formation being chaotic on its own.

Soon, the sent scouts reported that the Khitan army was spreading out in battle formation, approaching the battlefield, and had appeared five miles away. This distance is still safe, but for the exploration horse ranger, it is the most dangerous, the exploration horse wants to spy on the enemy's reality in advance, has started the chase first.

The earth has begun to shake, tens of thousands of war horses galloped at the same time, hooves roared like thunder, a black line appeared in the sky, gradually thickened and faded, the banner was waving with the wind, the black cavalry was layered on top of each other, and the Khitan army appeared in the field of vision.

Two miles away, the Khitan army stopped, and this was the last inspection and rest before the war. The front army was Yelu Wolfde's 6,000 elite light cavalry, and the other was equipped with 1,000 elite heavy cavalry, the left and right were Han Deng and Na Yu each led 7,000 elite cavalry, and the Chinese army was Yao Yuan Qinde personally led 10,000 light cavalry and 2,000 elite heavy cavalry; The rear army was 6,000 soldiers led by Yelu Xira, but the figure of Yaoranburi was missing.

"I think the formation of the Xi people is quite neat, but the equipment is not as much as our army...... This battle will be won! Yao Yuan Qinde looked at the Xi army for a long time, and said with a laugh.

"The Great Khan's eyes are like torches, and he can see clearly, should he attack now?" A sweat tent guard asked.

"The herald ordered the left and right armies to send 2,000 cavalry each to launch a tentative attack, and at the same time observe the enemy's position nearby." Yao Yuan Qinde's face was solemn, and he ordered categorically.

The herald holding the flaming red pennant shuttled between the intervals, and then the herald's flag shook, the horn whined, and a team of Khitan light horsemen on the left and right left the battle, like two off-string arrows straight to the opposite Xi army.

When the enemy moved, the taunt immediately returned. Zhuang Yi was not in a hurry to attack, and when he saw and tested the approximate strength of the enemy, he also divided the corresponding forces to intercept in advance, and the battle began.

The Khitan cavalry was stopped by the Xi cavalry as soon as they approached a mile, and the two sides charged back and forth in front of the two armies, and the bone slave and Qihe Kun did not personally participate in the battle, the troops under the command of the two were not weak, and the Khitan soldiers did not get a bargain, but they were not willing to retreat, and the battle continued.

"It's not rude to come and go...... Ordered Zuo Ji and Ligu to stay behind, and Gunu personally sent 2,000 troops, riding and shooting to harass the Khitan front army, not to fight in close combat, but to disturb its position. Zhuang Yi saw that the two armies in front of the battle were indistinguishable for a while, so he immediately ordered.

He was very unhappy after receiving the order, thinking that the battle had just begun, so he let his subordinates attack first, which would undoubtedly consume the soldier's physical strength first. He discussed with his father and Aunt Li, planning to deal with the matter, and although he and Aunt Ligu had doubts, they did not object.

So, he and the bone slave transferred two relatively weak thousand-man teams and immediately rushed straight to the Khitan front army. But there was some movement on his side, and the Khitan army quickly saw the direction of its attack.

After all, Yelu Wolf was old in battle, so he reacted immediately, dispatching two hundred heavy cavalry and two thousand light cavalry to counterattack, and tore the Bone Slave in two with a single charge. He Gunu was unexpected, and could only watch as the side was divided back and forth by the Khitan heavy cavalry, and more than half of the troops were defeated.

At this time, the skirmish between the left and right Ji also ended, the Xi people won the right Ji, and the Khitan soldiers won the left Ji, which was evenly divided.

Zhuang Yi chuckled, he could see some of the arrangements of the Khitan soldiers, and the two Hebei were relatively weak, especially the left Ji Handeng Division, which was facing the right Ji of Qi He Kun. He pondered for a moment, transferred four hundred heavy cavalry from the Chinese army, and led by Sha Gu to bypass the rear army to Youji, and went to Qihe Kun to listen to it.

Before I did this, I suddenly heard the drums of the Khitan Chinese army on the opposite side like thunder, and the sound of horns and whimpering, and then the armies began to respond.

"Master! Is this going to be a general attack? Bian Wu has been following Zhuang Yi and has also learned a lot of things about the battle formation, at this time, his hands were tightly holding the hilt of the knife at his waist, his face was a little pale, and he asked nervously.

"No...... The Khitan middle and rear armies will not move, and the front army and the left and right Ji will attack at the same time......" Zhuang Yi replied casually, and turned to the herald behind him: "Order Zuo Ji and Gu Nu to lead the troops to hold on, and intercept the enemy army, and never move!" Right Ji and the front army all launched a counterattack! ”

The right Ji Qihe Kunbu had just won a small victory, and he had to come with four hundred heavy horses, and he was immediately overjoyed, and placed it in the forefront of the party, and he was eager to try. At this time, he immediately led his troops to attack the left Ji of the Khitan army, and the four hundred heavy horsemen were like a rainbow in front of them, and only then did they meet the Khitan army with a charge, and they divided it into two like cutting waves.

Sha Gu was wearing iron armor, holding a mace, leading his heavy cavalry bravely, as if entering a no-man's land, Qi Hekun led his troops to follow the breakthrough behind, and took advantage of the situation to follow the division of troops to outflank left and right. The light cavalry of Handen's headquarters could not resist the sharp momentum of the heavy cavalry at all, and the formation gradually dispersed, and the rout was imminent.

Regardless of whether the enemy's Zuo Ji is really unstoppable, or is cheating, or simply arranging a weak position as a bait, the side Ji will always be a weakness......

Zhuang Yi thought for a moment, turned his head to the Shu Li beside him and said: "I led the Chinese army with 6,000 elites to follow the Qihe Kunbu to attack the Khitan Chinese army, and the other 7,000 horsemen are kept for you, you keep an eye on the movements of Yelu Wolfde's front army, once he attacks my flank, you immediately order Ke Zhen and Bao En's front army to drag him down, and lead the Chinese army to flank Yelu Wolfde's department with superior forces, as long as you can defeat the enemy in front, then our army will win!" ”
