Seeing their own flag, Lei Ye and his Qiang soldiers immediately cheered loudly, in their opinion, this time they mobilized an army of 40,000 people, and they would definitely wipe out the people and horses who burned Dangqiang.

However, to their surprise, Yao Naxuan, Ou He, Yao Ge and the others did not have any panic about this qiē, as if they had expected this a long time ago.

I saw Yao Naxuan whispering a few words in front of the two generals of Oh He and Burning Ge, and then saw the second general nodding, and then waved the order flag.

In an instant, the 10,000 cavalry quickly withdrew from the siege, and then formed a defensive formation.

"Hehe, what if you defend desperately? Doesn't this time fall into our calculations? Lei Ye glanced obliquely at Yao Naxuan's army who was retreating, and couldn't help but sneer.

Not long after, the two sides formed their own formations, but now the shape of the offensive and defensive sides has changed, and it has been replaced by the defense of the burning Dangqiang forces, while Xian Lingqiang has launched an attack.

Although there were only 10,000 cavalry, the soldiers of Dangqiang were not afraid, and they still lined up in a phalanx and launched an attack on the enemy.

Although Xian Lingqiang had more than 40,000 cavalry, it could not be all deployed at once, and there were only more than 100 people in the front row, so at the beginning of the battle, it was just a battle between the hundreds of people, at most, plus the bows and arrows in the back rows, it was difficult to distinguish the winner for a while.

Seeing that his main force was coming, Lei Ye naturally didn't want to be consumed so slowly, so with a wave of the banner, he ordered the cavalry on the left and right flanks to prepare for an attack on Yao Naxuan's army.

But at this moment, I could only hear the rumbling sound of horses' hooves in the valley behind Yao Naxuan's array, and I saw that there were about 10,000 people on the left and right wings, and they were all rushing towards Lei Ye's Chinese army.

Seeing that the enemy army was in ambush, Lei Ye did not dare to let go of the cavalry on both wings. Otherwise, his Chinese army would have no way to respond, so he had to order the army to stop advancing.

Although Lei Ye's army had an advantage in terms of overall numbers, the ambush soldiers on Yao Naxuan's two wings had been recuperating for a long time, and his reinforcements had just arrived and were relatively tired, so Lei Ye had no choice but to take a defensive position. Keep the cavalry on both flanks still, hoping that the decisive battle of the Chinese army will decide the victory.

However, the decisive battle of the Chinese army was difficult to distinguish the winner in a short period of time, and the battle situation entered a stalemate again for a while.

The battle between the two sides lasted for two hours, the battle was still ongoing, the Chinese soldiers on both sides had launched an attack, although both sides had casualties, but the number of casualties on their own side was not too big compared to the other side, two hours passed, and the casualties on both sides were about 1,000 people. This kind of battle situation is not what Raino wants.

Originally, Lei Ye thought that his side had the advantage of troops, and the final victory in the decisive battle would definitely belong to him, but he found that the enemy's cavalry on both wings did not attack when their morale was at their peak, as if they were waiting for something. A feeling of uneasiness suddenly arose in my heart.

"What exactly are the enemy waiting for? Do they still have reinforcements? But how is this possible? Now there are 30,000 troops here, Yao Naxuan has been running for hundreds of miles, once something happens to the tribe, even if it is too late to help, he will be crazy. You can't bring all the cavalry in the clan that can fight, can you? Also, since Yao Naxuan had already laid an ambush in the valley. Why didn't you send it out against us in the first place? If that were the case, I'm afraid my life would have been lost. That is to say, he deliberately lured my cavalry here, and my cavalry is here, and he has not even fought a decisive battle, is it said that a greater conspiracy is brewing? ”

Thought of this. Lei Ye couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart, and after thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but turn pale, and immediately lowered his voice to the commander next to him, Xi Fengwu, and said, "You quickly dispatch the people of the headquarters." Look at our tent to see if there is an enemy attack, and if so, immediately lead your men to help the clan in the battle, and send a few knights to report to me. ”

"No." When Xi Fengwu heard Lei Ye's order, his heart tightened, and he immediately dispatched more than 1,000 people from his headquarters, preparing to return to Shegu Mountain to investigate the situation, but at this time, he saw a sound of horses' hooves coming from the rear team, and he couldn't help but follow the reputation.

When I looked at it, I found that it was dozens of horses coming slowly, and those dozens of horses were all their own clothes, but the clothes on their bodies were already untidy, and some of their hair was scattered, and the first one turned out to be Lei Ting, the son of Lei Ye!

Xi Feng couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said: "King, it's not good, it's Prince Lei Ting in front, isn't he ordered to guard the tooth tent?" Why are you here? ”

Lei Ye listened to Xi Fengwu's words, suddenly raised his head and looked back, his heart was suddenly shocked, and he immediately ordered Xi Fengwu to welcome Lei Ting over and quietly ask about the specific situation.

Unexpectedly, Lei Ting didn't understand Lei Ye's intentions, and when he was still hundreds of steps away from his father, he cried loudly: "Father, it's not good, Xiliang Ma Chao led 20,000 iron horsemen, and when our main force was not there, he led the army to break through the tooth tent, and the entire tribe of 100,000 troops, hundreds of thousands of cattle, horses, and alpacas all fell into the hands of the enemy, and we are finished." ”

"What?" Lei Ting's shout immediately caused a huge shock, and all the Xian Lingqiang knights who heard this sentence all changed their faces greatly, and even many knights directly rode their horses and ran in the direction of Shegu Mountain.

There are their possessions, there are their loved ones, and if these are lost, what is the point of them fighting?

So they all ran back regardless of it, ignoring Lei Ye's scolding and restraint.

Lei Ye actually knew that something was wrong as soon as he saw his son's downfall, but he still wanted to straighten out the soldiers and horses, and then kill back to the lair, but he didn't expect that the shout of his unsuccessful son immediately disintegrated his 40,000 iron cavalry, and the sergeants had already lost their fighting spirit, and they had already rushed back to Shegu Mountain regardless of a single qiē, without a neat formation, without high morale, without the courage to win, and became a plate of scattered sand.

Lei Ye couldn't help but let out a long sigh, he knew that the general trend had gone, even if he barely restrained some of his subordinates, it had nothing to do with the overall situation, so he had to glare at his son hatefully, and then immediately led the army back to Shegu Mountain.

This time he didn't ask for anything else, but to lead everyone to retake the tooth tent.

As long as you have the roots, you are not afraid of burning the army.

However, Yao Naxuan reacted very quickly, and immediately led an army of 30,000 to chase after him, followed by the Xianlingqiang knights who fled in the desert and did not form a queue, and launched a pursuit.

As for Ma Chao leading the army to break through the Xianlingqiang camp. Since this was a plan made by Ma Chao in advance, he was naturally clear, so his army was not in a hurry to fight a decisive battle, waiting for this opportunity.

While struggling to hunt down and kill Xian Lingqiang, Yao Naxuan couldn't help but admire the Han people's strategy of the art of war. Obviously, the strength of the two sides is equal, but it is just a small means, but it can make their own side achieve such a big advantage.

"No wonder that for hundreds of years, whether it is the powerful Xiongnu or the rampant Xianbei, they have never been able to occupy the Central Plains of the Han people, but have been defeated by the Han people one by one, it turns out that the Han people's art of war is too strong. Fortunately, my tribe has been attached to the Han people, otherwise, I am afraid that today's Xian Lingqiang would be our end. ”

Yao Naxuan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, he originally saw that the number of Ma Chao's cavalry was less than his own. There is still a trace of disbelief in my heart, recently after this battle, I finally understand the horror of the Han people, and I have long no idea of competing in my heart, I only hope that I can loyally help the Han people fight, just to be able to keep my own people, then I am satisfied.

The journey of 100 miles is not too far, but there are always soldiers who have fallen behind along the way. These soldiers naturally became the ghosts of Yao Naxuan's army, roughly calculated. There were more than 5,000 warriors who slaughtered the Xianlingqiang warriors who had no resistance along the way.

"But in this way, Xian Lingqiang still has more than 30,000 horses, so many troops attacking the tooth tent that has just been breached, can the Spurs be able to stop it?" Yao Naxuan still felt a little incredible, but for some reason, he inexplicably felt trust in Ma Chao.

"Spurs have made this plan. There will definitely be a means to defend against the attack of Xian Lingqiang, and with the flanking attack of my men and horses in the rear team, I am afraid that Xian Lingqiang will become history from now on. Yao Naxuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and at the same time was glad for himself.

Yao Naxuan's guess was not wrong, since Ma Chao had made up his mind. Naturally, there is a means to defend against the attack of the first zero Qiang, specifically, it should be Cheng Gongying and Hao Zhao who have made a plan together, and Hao Zhao and Ma Chao are responsible for blocking the first zero Qiang people who are back to help.

As early as when Ma Chao led the army to break through the Xianlingqiang camp, or almost at the same time as Ma Chao's army launched an attack, Hao Zhao had already begun to deploy defense, although he only had two thousand weak brigades in Niyang, and a thousand parts that he brought in stability, but he did not have the slightest melancholy, but calmly ordered the army to do a good job of defense.

First of all, a deep ditch was dug, and the task of digging a deep ditch was considered to be handed over to the two thousand weak brigades in Niyang, and the two thousand people were actually very good, but due to the instinctive fear of the Qiang soldiers, they lacked courage when fighting, and called on them to do ordinary military tasks such as digging deep ditches, burying antlers, and sprinkling thistles, rather than ordering them to fight directly.

Although the time of three hours was rushed, the two thousand Niyang soldiers knew that if they didn't work hard, they would die, so they did it with their lives, and they dug the deep ditch very ideally, and the antlers and thistles were also buried.

And the 1,000 people under Hao Zhao's command were just recuperating, and then they relied on the favorable terrain to hold on.

The returning Qiang soldiers were very scattered at the beginning, sometimes dozens of horses, and even three or two horses when they were few, such a number was not worth Hao Zhao's crossbowmen at all, most of them were horses stepping on the thistles, and then throwing them to the ground, or fell to death, or broke tendons, wailing, and a few who were safe and sound were also shot to death by Hao Zhao's own soldiers with bows and arrows.

About half an hour later, the Qiang soldiers gradually converged into a turbulent torrent, and thousands of people lined up in a loose formation and rushed towards Hao Zhao.

The thousand parts under Hao Zhao's command had no expression, but the two thousand soldiers of Niyang were as earthy as their faces, and they felt that their chests were squeezed and breathless just by hearing the earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves, and they felt as if the horses' hooves were on their chests.

"Can we defeat such a strong cavalry?" The two thousand mud sun soldiers couldn't help but be secretly worried. (To be continued......)
