Wei Ting and Gao Yaxian grabbed positions on the right flank, while Xue Wanjun led the heavy cavalry on the left flank to defeat Cao Dan's 10,000-strong team in one fell swoop.

Compared with the fierce battle between the two wings, the mid-lane army led by Luo Yi himself looked too calm.

In the first encounter in the middle lane, Xue Wanche broke through the enemy's infantry vanguard with classic ranger tactics, and due to a tactical mistake, his team was soon attacked by Su Lie.

After that, Xue Wanche and Su Lie's cavalry retreated to the side and waited for the opportunity, and the two sides confronted each other with infantry, but no one was the first to charge.

The vanguard army led by Su Lie totaled 10,000 people, including 3,000 cavalry and 7,000 foot soldiers; In the first contact with Luo Yi's vanguard army, he directly lost more than 1,000 of the most elite foot soldiers and more than 100 cavalry, and now the remaining foot soldiers can basically only fight with the wind, so he does not dare to attack easily at this time.

The most fundamental reason why Luo Yi didn't move was because the more than 10,000 people he had deployed in the Chinese army had little combat effectiveness, and most of these people were only good at fighting with the wind.

What Luo Yi cares about most now is obviously the battle report of Xue Wanjun of the left-wing army, but to his surprise, the first thing he got was the news about Su You.

- Su You's fleet is swimming against the current, and it only takes an hour to reach the battlefield!

Luo Yi hadn't seen Su You's combat methods with his own eyes, but Wei Ting, Wang Qi and others had finally seen it, and Luo Yi was skeptical of their descriptions, but he finally had a clear understanding of the combat effectiveness of Su You's army.

Su You and Luo Yi are still strategic partners, so Su You's arrival is indeed good news.

Luo Yi even regretted it a little, regretting that he took the initiative to ask for a decisive battle with Dou Jiande today, otherwise if Su You came, how could their coalition army take Dou Jiande in their eyes?

After getting the news that Su You was coming, Luo Yi now has only one thought, and that is to continue the stalemate.

Su You's fleet entered the Yongji Canal along the Haihe River, and then entered the Sanggan River from the Yongji Canal, and such a large-scale military movement obviously could not hide from Dou Jiande.

Almost at the same time, Dou Jiande also realized that Luo Yi's reinforcements were coming, and he obviously had no specific concept of a hundred big ships; But this did not hinder his brain, and he had the impression that these ships could carry at least thirty or fifty thousand people

Su You's existence was only introduced to the Central Plains after a year later, even if Dou Jiande knew that Su You was not easy to mess with from his record of breaking the Goryeo Royal City; As for the alliance between Su You and Luo Yi later, and the elimination of the Gao Kaidao army, it was just a legend.

The key is, Dou Jiande came all the way to Youzhou, did he give up because of Su You's arrival?

Dou Jiande quickly made a decision,—— ordered Su Lie to lead all the cavalry in Dou Jiande's army to quickly leave the battlefield and intercept Su You's fleet along the front and bottom of the river; At the same time, the Chinese army was ordered to attack, and Luo Yi's Chinese army was defeated with the determination to fight quickly!

The order quickly reached Su Lie's ears, and although he didn't know why he intercepted the ship, he still led more than 2,800 light horsemen to retreat at the first time, and quickly left the battlefield.

At the same moment, the earth-shattering war drums sounded again, and Dou Jiande's Chinese army began to move forward rhythmically, slowly approaching the middle position of the Youzhou army.

In the face of the enemy's attack, Luo Yi had no choice but to start firing back, because the defeat was like a mountain, and as long as he retreated slightly, he would be defeated.

Immediately after that, the war drums also sounded in Luo Yi's array, and the foot soldiers of the Chinese army slowly moved forward with the swords and shields in their hands, and the crossbowmen on both sides began to shoot, and Xue Wanche's team was also eager to try.

"Kill!"

Luo Yi let out a low snort, and the scimitar in his hand swung downward.

The military flag changed its language, and the rhythm of the war drums suddenly changed, and the sword and shield men of the Chinese army dropped the giant shield in their hands, drew the horizontal knife at their waists, and rushed out of the position like a tiger descending from the mountains.

At this time, the 4,500 foot soldiers commanded by Wei Ting, who was defending the right flank, had been killed to just over 1,000 people, and they were finally forced down the small slope that they had grabbed at the first time, and then there was a rout.

In the face of the rout of Wei Tingjun's army, Gao Yaxian did not have half a point of mercy, but chose to chase and kill as a matter of course.

In the confrontation just now, more than 3,000 people died on Wei Ting's side, and more than 4,000 people died on Gao Yaxian's side; But victory is not in how many people die or how many are left, but in whose hands the momentum holds.

At this moment, the more than 3,000 mixed troops under Gao Yaxian's command completely gave up their long-range weapons, and they ran and roared, following the deserters of Youzhou to the middle lane, and harvesting the heads all the way.

is really defeated like a mountain, in the face of his subordinates who have lost the will to fight, what can Wei Ting do except hate iron but not steel?

The soldiers only knew how to rush towards the Chinese army, and they threw away their weapons, and took off their armor, just to run faster; Some simply stopped running, knelt on the ground, and raised their hands in a gesture of submission.

"Da Shuai" A general standing next to Luo Yi watched the rout of the right-wing troops like Luo Yi, he glanced at Luo Yi, who was pale, and said in a slightly anxious voice.

Luo Yi nodded, and immediately ordered, "Order Xue Wanche's cavalry to attack!" ”

After receiving the order, Xue Wanche immediately led the team to rush out from the rear, and after a roundabout, he attacked from one side and cut off the Dou Jiande army that was pursuing Wei Ting's rout.

Xue Wanche's light cavalry, which still had more than 2,200 people left, was obviously more than enough to deal with those red-eyed Gao Yaxian troops who only had melee weapons, but the problem was that Wei Ting's deserters rushed towards Luo Yi's main formation with a shout.

There are more than 10,000 Chinese troops in this formation, and most of them are new recruits, and if these routs are allowed to rush into the formation, the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army will definitely be greatly affected.

If this results in a herd effect, then it's over!

Luo Yi didn't know the technical term "herd effect", but he saw the danger of these routs, and immediately ordered, "Order them to go around the flanks and not attack the main formation." If you don't comply, let the crossbowmen shoot it! ”

Luo Yi's order was simple and straightforward, but these few words decided the fate of these routs.

The soldiers who had not yet attacked began to shout to the rout, but how could the other voices be heard in the ears of the routs, who were fleeing for their lives and fearing that they were missing two legs?

In the face of the rout who rushed towards the formation as always, Luo Yi closed his eyes vigorously, and finally ordered in a deep voice after opening them, "Crossbowman!" Preparation! Shoot! ”

Then the arrows roared like locusts and burst out of the army formation, and landed in the midst of the rout.

The routs were blind, their eyes were full of despair and incomprehension, they never thought that they had not died under the enemy's sword, but under the bow of their own people.

After a few volleys, hundreds of bows and arrows fell, and the routs finally understood what Luo Yi meant, and then ran to the rear of the team. In fact, they didn't need to run anymore at this point, because Xue Wanche's cavalry had already helped them intercept and kill the enemy who was pursuing them.

With more than 2,200 cavalry, there is no suspense at all against more than 3,000 foot soldiers.

In the Chinese army formation, Luo Yi's foot soldiers and Dou Jiande's foot soldiers, who were several times his size, also met without accident, and worked hard to stalemate.

On the other side, seventeen of Yan Yun's eighteen cavalry were at the head, and behind them were more than 1,900 cavalry, and they launched a devastating impact on Cao Dan's 10,000 foot soldiers with a cone formation.

In just two rounds, Cao Dan's 10,000 troops were either killed or wounded, and there were less than 1,000 people who could escape the crushing of the most terrifying heavy cavalry of the Great Sui led by Xue Wanjun

In less than a moment, the 10,000 troops led by Cao Dan had lost their offensive ability and were slaughtered.

Xue Wanjun didn't spend much time cleaning up the battlefield, and when he heard the drums of the attack sounding again from the middle army, he quickly organized his team.

Xue Wanjun was very satisfied with the results, although they completely annihilated Cao Dan's 10,000 troops, the number of casualties on their side was controlled within 100, and basically did not have much impact on the next battle.

Xue Wanjun put down the binoculars in his hand, pointed to Dou Jiande's camp three or four miles away, and said loudly, "Capture the thief and capture the king first, let's go straight to Dou Jiande's lair this time!" ”

Despite the inappropriateness of some people, no one dared to raise any objections at this moment of agitation.

"Out!"

Xue Wanjun shouted, and rushed towards Dou Jiande's camp first.

Sixteen of Yan Yun's eighteen people, as well as more than 1,800 cavalrymen, all followed Xue Wanjun and rushed forward at a trott.

The horses, which numbered nearly four thousand, were trembling under their feet, although they were only advancing slowly, and the tremor spread far away, and the surrounding hills seemed to be shaking.

Behind the more than 1,800 horsemen were their auxiliaries, and these more than 1,000 auxiliaries could only chase the four-legged war horses in front of them with their feet open, and they could barely keep up without accelerating.

It was just the kung fu of tea, and Xue Wanjun's heavy cavalry had already advanced more than three miles, and they were only one mile away from Dou Jiande's Chinese army.

Xue Wanjun took the lead, his white cloak pulled into a straight line and dragged behind him, his lips tightly closed, his eyes staring at the front; The enemy had already set up a formation, and a large number of crossbowmen were in front of the formation, and they obviously wanted to block the impact of Xue Wanjun's heavy cavalry with arrows.

There is no doubt that Dou Jiande's judgment and countermeasures are correct, but this is not enough! - If ordinary bows and arrows can stop these heavy cavalry, how can there be any need for heavy cavalry?

Xue Wanjun sneered with some disdain, and immediately raised his spear and shouted, "Accelerate, charge!" ”

The journey of one mile is the best time for the war horse to speed up, if this cavalry starts to speed up now, it must be an invincible existence after reaching Dou Jiande's array.

If nothing else, no infantry phalanx could withstand such a close onslaught from the heavily armed iron cavalry.

However, the last thing this world lacks is the unexpected!

Just when Xue Wanjun ordered to storm Dou Jiande's big tent, there was a sudden loud thunderous sound from the east, followed by explosions one after another.

Of course, Su You's fleet began to encounter the three thousand light cavalry commanded by Su Lie, who came to intercept him
