The left flank of the Dangxiang Army was defeated, and Li Guangyan was wounded by an arrow in the thigh and returned, so that the northern Zuoji completely lost its offensive ability. Li Guangrui was shocked and angry, his face was pale, and he led the remnants of his headquarters with 2,000 cavalry to retreat a hundred steps, looking at the large array of the Zhou army from afar, and he was no longer willing to attack easily.

Yeci Nura was helpless, the Chinese army had more than 5,000 cavalry plus the defeated retreat, and more than 7,000 horsemen, but 4,000 of them were Li Guangrui's men and horses, he did not speak, and Yeci Nura was unable to support the right army Yeci Rulang and Li Guangxin.

The battlefield of the right army in the south is two miles away from the Chinese army, where the yellow dust is all over the sky, and the shouts of killing come and go. At present, this situation is a bit difficult to ride a tiger, either fully support the right army, and open a gap from the left side of the Zhou army, but this difficulty is very high, and the Zhou army's infantry has not moved, and it is still a new force; Either retreat directly, but the important stronghold of Ulan County will also be lost, and the consequences will be equally unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Li Guangrui's face softened slightly, and he said coldly: "That's it!" Li led 3,000 soldiers to continue to monitor and harass the Zhou army's right Ji, you can lead 4,000 cavalry to attack the Zhou army's left Ji horse step, if you can defeat it in one fell swoop, if not, you can try to drive it away from the battlefield, and then fight back against the left army of the Zhou army's infantry formation. ”

"Good! Thank you Li Yanei! Ye Ci Nura immediately transferred out 3,000 cavalry from the headquarters, plus 1,000 elite soldiers of the Li family, and after a little formation, he drove the war horses out of place, and gradually accelerated towards the gap between the cavalry battlefield and the Zhou army's infantry formation.

Feng Jiye had been staying on the temporary command tower of the Chinese army, and when he saw the movement of the party army from a distance, he understood their intentions. However, it is still difficult to deal with it. There is no need to worry about the five commanders of the right army, but the Chinese army and the left army, with a total of 5,000 square soldiers, will undoubtedly be very dangerous to meet seven or eight thousand cavalry.

"Herald! Ordered Zhang Yue's department to transfer out 50 wooden single crossbows, and go to the Chinese army with the crossbowmen to standby. Feng Jiye shouted.

"Order!" An escort officer received the order, beat his horse and trotted, rushed to the right army more than a hundred steps away from the gap between the large formations, and found Zhang Yue to pass the order.

In this situation, Zhang Yue has nothing to shirk, and there are only 3,000 horsemen left in Li Guangrui's department on the opposite side, so he should not launch another attack, so he immediately transferred out fifty relatively light wooden single crossbows, and let Xue Wenqian lead his command to the Chinese army.

The order was given, but it would take a moment to move the troops into place. At this time, Yeqi Nura had already led 4,000 horsemen into the battlefield. After only one round of impact, Xuan Chongwen, Xue Chucun, and Li Shiwen, who had a slight upper hand, had a total of 6,000 cavalry, which was already difficult to resist, and quickly joined forces and fled from the battlefield.

Ye Ci Nu ordered his eldest son Ye Ci Rulang to lead 3,000 cavalry to chase away, and seeing that they had run away as soon as they fled and chased, he and Li Guangxin transferred troops to the whole team and found that there were 7,000 cavalry left. His headquarters is a new force, Li Guangxin's troops have 3,000 horses, and many of the soldiers and war horses have been wounded, and they look a little embarrassed, they have been fighting hard for nearly half an hour, they are already exhausted, and their strength has been exhausted.

Ye Ci Nu held a knife and pointed at the side of the left army on the opposite side, and said to Li Guangxin: "The left formation of the Zhou army has no cover, you lead the troops to attack the side Ji, and I will lead the headquarters to attack its front." If the left side of the Zhou army collapses, the Chinese army will not be able to hold it, and the right army will be alone and will inevitably collapse. ”

"Good! Let's get started! "Li Guangxin is Li Guangyan's younger brother, and the two are the concubines of Li Yiyin's brother Li Yichao, and their status in the clan is quite noble. But now, if the tired soldiers do not endure the battle, they cannot rest, otherwise the men and horses will be completely weakened.

Nodding his head, he returned to his own camp and ordered his soldiers to blow the horn of attack. The two teams were sixty or seventy paces apart, and almost at the same time they charged and pounced on the left side of the Zhou army again.

"Steady! Get ready for battle! "The commander of the front row of the left formation of the Shuofang Army, named Feng Shaowu, was originally a general of the Feng family and a veteran of the battle formation, and now he is temporarily appointed as the envoy of the infantry army, responsible for the defensive operations of the first five platoons.

Riding on foot, it is naturally a typical gun shield array, but it is the shoulder height of the large square shield in the front row, which is connected to the left and right, and is erected in a tight seam, and a large gun of about four meters and five is erected on the top; The second row is a large gun about three meters long, with a thick wooden shield with a chest height; To the third row were the infantry standard wooden guns, about seven feet and two meters long, and the last two rows were still spearmen and sword and shield soldiers, which were filled as reserves.

The four thousand cavalry of the Yechenula Division approached the Zhou army's large formation to eighty paces, and then ushered in a dense rain of arrows, and a muffled snort sounded, overturning dozens of horses. But at the same time, they also fought back, and there was a small confusion in the left side of the Shuofang army, but it was quickly filled by reserves.

After two rounds of arrow rain, the forward of the Yeci Nu Raid Department first rushed into the front of the Zhou Army's infantry formation, like hitting the copper wall and iron wall, and a group of people turned over on their backs. However, the second and third echelons continued to attack, and the Zhou army was overwhelmed, staggering, and crumbling.

The first three echelons failed to break through, and the men and horses collided with the gun and shield array, and basically lost their combat power, and only a few dozen horsemen fled to both sides after returning to their own formation. The front vacated a vacancy, and the fourth and fifth echelons also charged, and the Zhou army was unable to block it in time by the troops, and the front row suddenly sunk into a semi-arc about ten steps wide.

Wild Slave did not rush to the front, but in the center of the middle of the formation, seeing this situation, he was overjoyed, and yelled at the forward to continue the next wave of impact. Sure enough, the Zhou army didn't have time to adjust, and the front row was broken, but the second and third rows were also seizing the opportunity to plug the depression.

After seven or eight waves of continuous impact, the three rows in front of Jun Zhou were broken, and the wild slaves finally rushed to the front, and directly leaped through the breach, taking the opportunity to expand the gap, and rode left and right to follow up and strangle.

At the same time, Li Guangxin also opened the gap from the side, broke into it horizontally, almost in all directions, and the corners were quickly defeated and eaten, and the five commanders of the left formation of the Zhou army lost the cover of the gun and shield array in the front row, and the back began to collapse layer by layer, and began to extend to the Chinese army.

With the joint assault of Yeci Nura and Li Guangxin, the left formation of the Zhou army completely collapsed, and the soldiers scattered and fled on both sides, and a clearing four or five steps wide appeared in front, followed by the side of the Chinese army, and in the open space between the layers of pikemen, there were many crossbowmen half-squatting, and they were holding wooden crossbows with open bows and arms.

It was only seven or eight paces away, and the wild slave didn't have time to react at all, so he heard a buzzing sound, and the air suddenly darkened, and the arrows rushed towards him like flying locusts, and a series of miserable howls sounded around him.

"Patriarch beware of ......" came the reminder of the clan soldiers in his ears, but it was too late, Ye Ci Nu only felt that his heart was hot, and the whole person flew up, and the sky was spinning, the vision began to blur, the boundless darkness poured in, the thinking began to be confused, and everything slowly disappeared.

The left position of the Zhou army did not completely collapse, in fact, later, they retreated to the flank of the Chinese army in an orderly manner, which strengthened the strength of the five commands of the Chinese army. Coupled with the input of the strong crossbowmen of Xue Wenqian's department of the right army, he dealt a head-on blow to the Yeci clan soldiers, and immediately stopped the decline.

Feng Jiye made timely adjustments, ordered the fifth command of the Central Army to make a comprehensive turn, backed by Zhang Yue's right army, and formed a head-on duel against Ye Ci's and Li Guangxin's subordinates. However, after doing this, as soon as the wild slave died, his subordinates were in chaos and retreated on their own.

But it also takes time to retreat, and it also needs a reasonable scheduling arrangement, the clan soldiers and officers are all small clan leaders, and they cooperate with each other very badly, and they are suddenly congested, and the arrow rain of the crossbowmen has not stopped, and the four thousand cavalry of the Yeci clan finally formed a big chaos, and the soldiers rushed in all directions, and the officers could not restrain themselves.

Li Guangxin clenched the rout of the Zhou army and rushed to the flank of the Chinese army, intending to continue the attack, but soon found that the soldiers of the Zhou army, who seemed to be running around in front of him just now, quickly turned around and lined up, holding guns. But it didn't work, and with a single charge, the rout was routed again, followed by a spear shield array behind the flank of the Chinese army.

Li Guangxin led the horse team of his headquarters, turned and accelerated slowly, so as to adjust the formation and attack again, but suddenly found that the soldiers of the Yeqi clan were in a rout, and rushed towards him in chaos. And the Zhou army's large array turned around, and two or three rows of crossbowmen came out in front, unfolding their bows and crossbows, and shooting non-stop.

"Huizhou can't keep it......" Li Guangxin was shocked, feeling that he was lonely, he couldn't help but sigh, led his troops to turn around, threw off the Yeci clan soldiers, fled from the battlefield, and went to join Li Guangrui, so that although the Li family's headquarters was damaged, the strength was still there, and the rest of the departments still needed to obey orders.

With the collapse of the Yeqi clan soldiers, Li Guangxin fled back to his headquarters, and Li Guangrui unwillingly sounded the clarion call for the whole army to retreat. The party cavalry on the battlefield finally found the backbone and fled westward in chaos.

However, Li Guangrui still had 3,000 horsemen around him, plus Li Guangxin brought back about 2,000 horsemen, and the 5,000 men and horses of the headquarters were calm and unhurried, and slowly retreated to two miles away.

And Xuan Chongwen and Xue Chucun's horse army also suffered nearly half of the casualties, and they were embarrassed, and at this time there were only 4,000 horses left, hanging Li Guangrui's troops from half a mile, but they did not dare to pursue easily. Anyway, the purpose of the operation is to drive out the party members, and now that it is a task, there is no need to play with life.

In addition to Zhang Yue's subordinate of the infantry army, which retained a relatively complete structure, at least six commands of the Shuofang army were completely defeated, and only the Chinese army's main formation was slightly better, but it also suffered heavy losses, and it was unable to pursue at all.
