Huangyang Town is just a small village of forty or fifty households, with no walls on the periphery, and is located east of the Huangyang River. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The Huangyang River is also one of the water systems formed by the melting of ice and snow in the southern mountains of Guzang, and finally joins the Macheng River in the suburbs of Liangzhou, and flows into the small lakes of the desert oasis in the Baiting Sea and Hutuze area, which are 300 miles north of the state.

The topography of Liangzhou is high in the south and low in the north, and the area around Changzhou is gradually flattened, and the terrain is vast and endless. When the morning sun fills the sky, the morning sun shines on the earth, and a new day is about to begin, this unassuming field has moved.

On the bank of the Huangyang River, nearly 50,000 horsemen slowly drove out of the large camp array, and Zhiqi Jiashi put on a slope of the horse with a helmet and armor, and looked at the eldest grandson Zhiqi Gezhi commanding the tribes to line up.

Since the annexation of more than 20,000 accounts of the Snow Mountain Qiang Tuoba Naji Department and the Baiting Haisu Bowl Department, the strength of the Zhe Clan has increased greatly, and last winter it broke through Shen Nian, obtaining a large number of grain and grass soldiers, as well as 10,000 soldiers of the Liugu Tribe. However, in order to prevent the rebellion, the soldiers of the 10,000 valleys were transferred to Tianbao County to defend against the Uighurs.

As for the cities of Jialin Prefecture and Liangzhou, they were actually in a state of emptiness, and for this desperate gamble, they gambled on the fate of the entire clan of the Zheqi clan, and Zheqi Jiashi transferred the elite of the headquarters and made up 30,000 elite cavalry, plus 7,000 light and heavy cavalry of the Uighur prince.

In addition, Cui Huxin, Su Lun Abo, Wang Tinghan, Zhou Jianzhang and others led a total of 10,000 infantry, which is the headquarters of the four, plus the Fan and Han miscellaneous soldiers recruited after entering Liangzhou last winter, but unfortunately the weapons and equipment are insufficient, and these 10,000 infantry actually have no combat effectiveness.

However, Zhe Kui Jiashi is very confident, according to the intelligence, the Zhou army is not more than 20,000 cavalry, and his own side is almost double their strength, and the odds of victory are still very great, otherwise, Zhe Kui Jiashi will not be fully pressed together with the accumulation of several generations of ancestors.

As long as this battle is won, drive away the Zhou army and then ask the Tokyo court for guilt, the court has no choice but to reward itself, then Liangzhou will be the one who folds the clan in the future. As for the Shen clan of the Rokutani Division, they had no chance after the war.

The formation of the large army was arranged, and the whole army began to move slowly towards the battlefield to the south in battle formation. To the west along the Huangyang River is the fierce general of the clan, who folded Zongxing, and led 10,000 horsemen to the right Ji. The Uighur army was a part of its own, and Prince Luo commanded 7,000 cavalry as the left Ji. Zhe Ge led 5,000 cavalry as the front army, and the remaining 25,000 cavalry as the middle army, and Zhe Jiashi planned to personally command.

As soon as the army of Zhe Jiashi came out of the camp, Zhang Yue and Hou Zhang got the news, led their troops out of Huangyang Town, and chose a flat wasteland as the position of the Chinese army, with Shi Chenghong and Shi Deyuan leading 5,000 troops as the left army, facing the enemy on the right. Li Shiwen and Gao Changhai led 5,000 troops to the right army, facing the Uighur elite cavalry.

The 5,000-horse army was placed one mile behind the right flank, and the main opponent was the Uighur cavalry. Before the battle began, Hao Tianying personally went out to act as a scout, approached the Uighur horse army echelon to observe, and found that most of them were light horsemen equipped with ordinary leather armor, and the two thousand palace tent elite horsemen were equipped with iron armor, of which there were about 500 heavy horses, all of whom were wearing heavy armor, which looked terrifying.

The Uighurs kept chasing and expelling, and Hao Tianying returned after two turns, and found Ming Jinpeng, Xue Keyan, Wang Tingxun and other officers to discuss temporarily.

"It is unclear whether the Uighurs will participate in the war, and if they do not fight, we cannot leave without permission, so it is undoubtedly too passive to be pinned down. I thought that when the battle began, if the Uighurs were to fight, we would fight him to the death. If there is no battle, the Fang army will be transferred to support the left army, and the pressure will be too great in the face of 10,000 horsemen! ”

"Isn't this a weak division of troops, and doesn't that give the Uighurs a chance?" Wang Tingxun asked in surprise.

"Our main force is the infantry army, and we have to cooperate with the infantry to fight, mainly to pincer and harass, slow down the enemy's horses, and delay its offensive, but not to meet it directly." Hao Tianying said undoubtedly.

At the same time, the four infantry regiments of the Zhenyuan Army of the Chinese Army, plus the scout battalion and the guards of the Imperial Palace, a total of 5,000 people, were also completed, compared with the left and right armies of 5,000 soldiers and ten large phalanxes, the Chinese army was slightly different.

Xuan Chongwen personally came to the front to command the first to third regiments, the fourth regiment was divided into two halves of the long phalanx, guarding the left and right flanks, and the scout battalion was deployed in front of the command platform, escorting the guards and serving as heralds.

If you don't think about winning, you should lose first! Zhang Yue's arrangement of the formation in this way means that he is not very relieved about the left and right armies, but he also has another intention. The Fourth Regiment of the Chinese Army is a whole team, and once it encounters danger, it can turn into a circle formation at any time, and retreat after fighting, even if it is surrounded by a large group of enemy cavalry, it is no problem to retreat into Changzhou City. But if other battalion leaders get in, it will destroy the tacit understanding.

In a short time, the horse's hooves made the earth seem to tremble, and the desolate and long trumpets whimpered, and the various divisions were in harmony with each other, and the army of the Ori clan drove into battle formation, and stopped two miles away.

Zhang Yue and Hou Zhang stood on the command platform and looked into the distance, only to see that the black and oppressive echelon of the horse army could not be seen at a glance, but the uniforms of the Tibetan soldiers were messy, and the banners were also incomprehensible patterns and words used by the Tubo Dynasty.

"Liangzhou Festival! He gave himself a promotion! Hou Zhang said with a disdainful laugh.

"Hou Dashuai knows the Tibetan language? What kind of official is the festival theory? The words on the flag were twisted and twisted like a small snake, and the distance was long, but Zhang Yue didn't recognize it.

"The festival theory is to add the title, hold the festival to supervise the local military and government, and can govern a number of 10,000 households, which is the same as the status of the festival envoy. It's really ironic to say, after the Zhe Kui clan was a rebel, Qianyou received the title of the Tokyo Emperor in the second year, and now he actually played the banner of the Tubo Dynasty again. Hou Zhang said with a strange face.

"They are in the whole team, it seems that the right Ji will fight first, so we have to let Shi Chenghong and Shi Deyuan strengthen the defense of the horse rejection front, concentrate the crossbowmen, and shoot closely." As soon as Zhang Yue spoke, Fu Zhaoji hurriedly ordered his soldiers to pass the order.

Riding in step is not a simple thing, whether it is stepping or riding, there is a difference between strength and weakness. The 5,000 soldiers of the two armies of the left army were all veterans, and the generals were not weak. Shi Chenghong has been training the Zhangyi Tooth Army for more than a month, and recently he has been equipped with 50 horned bows and crossbows, so he used the five battalions of the Tooth Army as the front.

The enemy is strong and I am weak, Shi Deyuan was a little nervous in his heart, and he was a little embarrassed to see that Shi Chenghong took the initiative to take the front, so he strengthened a bow and crossbow battalion for Shi Chenghong, and only four battalions were left in the rear of the headquarters in order to stand by and move.

Compared with the infantry formation, there are a series of tedious things to prepare, but the horse army is much easier, only need to feed the war horses enough horse material before departure, and then drive to the battlefield, just according to the combat unit column horizontal wave echelon standby.

Zhe Zongxing observed the formation of the Zhou army, and decided to test the combat strength of the next Zhou army first, and immediately transferred four thousand troops, with 2,000 cavalry to charge to the front of the left army of the Zhou army, and the other 2,000 cavalry attacked its flank and rear direction in a roundabout way.
