Liang Zhongjiaye led 5,000 cavalry to arrive at noon that day, but his Qiang soldiers were not good at attacking the city, and they were originally used as bait, and on the way, they received the news that Zhuo Luo Zunli was coming later, so they stopped in the northwest of the county in order to intercept and harass Zhuo Luo Zunli and prevent him from fleeing west to Minzhou.

By the time of the afternoon, the horses from all walks of life reported that Zhuo Luo Zunli's forward 5,000 horsemen had reached ten miles away, but the main force was still about 20 miles behind, while the Zhou army's 15,000 cavalry was slower, and it was thirty miles behind in the northeast direction of Zhuo Luo Zunli, which made Zhuo Luo Zunli dare not march at full speed.

Defeated by Zhuo Luo Zunli more than a month ago, the headquarters of Changqiang Qingzhuang killed more than 10,000 people, Liang Zhongjia ambition hated very much, calculated the distance, the forward is twenty miles away from the Chinese army, this seems to be cheap to pick up, and their own side arrived to rest for a long time, the enemy marched all the way, the horsepower was in a state of decline, so he decided to beat his forward first out of a bad breath, and immediately led the troops to line up on the field.

Not long after, Zhuo Luozun's forward horse team appeared five miles away, Liang Zhong Jiaye couldn't wait to give the order, the whole army launched a charge, connected by the left, center and right three roads, spread out the glaive formation across the distance of five miles, the horse speed to the extreme, to the enemy to outflank.

When the enemy army was about to reach its destination, he raised his vigilance and marched in battle formation, and as soon as he found Liang Zhongjiaye's men and horses, he launched a charge, and at the same time beat his horses to speed up the battle.

The sky was overcast, and the sound of horses' hooves thundered in the undulating desolate fields. Both sides are riding well-bred horses, and the short distance burst can reach one and a half miles and a half, and the speed is only slightly worse than that of the sweaty horses, but the two are convenient to engage the enemy at two minutes, and they collide violently.

Most of the soldiers of the Qiang tribe were only equipped with self-made heavy leather armor, and some wealthy tribal leaders were only inlaid with heart guards and some iron pieces on the leather armor, which was uneven, much worse than the Caohanqiang, which had always been attached to Qingtang and close to Shanzhou.

However, the men and horses of Liang Zhongjia Nobe rested their strength to offset this disadvantage. As soon as the battle was engaged, the two sides were evenly matched, but the two sides staggered each other, and when they turned around and killed the whole team, the gap began to appear. Zhuo Luozun's Caohanqiang strikers obviously suffered greater casualties, but their main force was about to keep up, and they had the confidence in their hearts, so they immediately seized the opportunity to fight, and began to launch a counterattack without waiting for the completion of the whole team in Liangzhong Jiaye.

Liang Zhong Jiaye was a little worried, if he couldn't quickly defeat the opponent, the main force behind him, his own department might fall into encirclement, but there was still a little time, just look at the next round of killing, he immediately changed his tactics, no longer spread out the whole army, but with a thousand cavalry as the front arrow, the other thousand cavalry went around the outside of the battlefield, ready to cut off his rear team in a roundabout, and the three thousand cavalry of the headquarters followed closely in front of the formation, carrying out a stacked wave rush to kill.

Separated by two or three miles, this series of transfers took a very short time to complete, but the battlefield was also faster to pass orders on a single horse. As soon as his side completed the move, the horse team began to accelerate, and the enemy was still charging in the shape of a full army, and it was almost close.

"Shoot the arrows!" Both sides fired a round of arrows, but the casualties caused were limited. The horse team is still advancing in echelons, but whoever has the sharper horse team has the possibility of winning, and then we will see the clues.

Obviously, the horsepower of the Caohan Qiang Department was already exhausted, and after the collision of three echelons in a row, it was finally broken through by its own side, and it rushed forward all the way. Liang Zhongjiaye saw it from behind, and immediately felt ecstatic, just at this time, the headquarters of the front behind the side rushed to kill in the oblique stab, and hit it in the waist, cutting it in half at once.

The rear team was intercepted, but the front team was still rushing forward, but it was already weak, and after being broken through by its own side, the whole army was divided into three parts. However, the Caohan Qiang soldiers were anxious to withdraw to Minzhou, and they still fought to the death. Liang Zhongjiaye's advantage in adopting reasonable tactics was slowly reduced, and then the horses of both sides slowed down, and the formation began to become chaotic, falling into a melee.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves roared in the northeast, the horn whimpered, and the main force of Zhuo Luo Zunli's 20,000 horsemen finally arrived, but the Liangzhong Jiaye Department could no longer gather and withdraw, and was glued up and couldn't get out, and he only hoped that the Zhou Army's headquarters would come soon.

And Zhang Yue and Zhang Jianxiong's troops were still behind Zhuo Luo Zunli, if they marched normally, it would take a whole day for eighty miles, but now the rapid march trotted forward, and the speed was much faster. Of course, the infantry army cannot be separated, but the horse army can bite and slow down the enemy army.

Zhang Yue sent Du Yanhui and Shang Huaqing to lead 2,000 cavalry of the Zhangyi army, and the horse army of the Xiongwu army commanded Zhao Weizhen's 2,500 cavalry to divide into two teams to follow and kill. Zhuo Luo Zunli had to divide his troops and break off, but he sent four thousand cavalry in a row and were defeated by the Zhou army, and most of his troops were reduced, so he had to speed up his march, so that Zhang Yue's troops could not catch up.

Fifty miles later, the endurance of the war horse began to decrease, but the manpower could still be maintained, so the distance was narrowing, and to the thirty miles of Yanxian County, the front of the horse to report all kinds of news, Zhang Yue was not in a hurry, the marching speed slowed down slightly, and more than 10,000 infantry maintained a strict formation to advance.

By the time we arrived at the southeast of the battlefield, it was almost dusk, and there was no sun on a cloudy day, so the visibility of the line of sight was reduced a lot. The battlefield three or four miles to the west was not clear at all, only the deafening sound of horses' hooves and shouts of killing did not stop.

Liang Zhongjiaye has not yet been defeated, and that side has naturally become a side at this time. Du Yanhui, the commander of the third brigade, Shang Huaqing, the deputy commander of the second brigade, and the leader of the horse army, Bian Ji also came with him this time, temporarily serving as the commander of the battalion, and took his own three hundred old troops to fight, and Zhao Weizhen of the Xiongwu Horse Army joined forces, a total of 4,500 cavalry has been inseparable from the five thousand after Zhuo Luozun's decision, located on the east side of the battlefield, forming the right Ji.

And Zhang Yue's infantry army marched westward along the river, bypassing the frontal battlefield, and appeared in the southeast, facing Zhuo Luo Zun in the north for about three miles. Zhang Jianxiong's Xiongwu Army of 2,500 men was in the left army, and Gao Changhai, the commander of the second brigade of the Changyi Army, led two regiments to the right army in the east.

The first brigade with the strongest combat effectiveness was taken to Di Dao by Shi Chenghong, followed by the third brigade, adapted from the original Weizhou Yisheng Army and Yizhou Yining Army, fought many battles, and after Zhang Yue's training, the officers returned to the training camp for training, which was relatively worse than the first brigade, with the deputy brigade commander Liu Wenbai leading the three regiments as the front, with the third brigade chief and deputy staff officer Jin Guangda, Niu Jianzhen temporarily commanding the remaining three regiments, and Zhang Yue as the Chinese army.

Zhuo Luo Zun Li lost thousands of soldiers along the way, they still have a lot of horse army, Liang Zhong Jiaye and Du Yanhui held him back a total of 10,000 cavalry, and there are only 10,000 infantry troops and 10,000 horse troops left in this formation, which still includes the northwest Xiangwu gathered. If Zhang Yue hadn't arrived in time to send troops, Zhuo Luo Zunli would have really gone to Minzhou, and it would have been difficult to fight at that time. (To be continued.) )
