Several rounds of attacks in a row, nearly half of the troops have been lost, morale has fallen to the bottom, Wen Fan has retreated, but his sons Wen Naiqi and Zhuo Luo Zun are fighting in the Zhou army's horse team, if they suddenly retreat, it will inevitably lead the Zhou army to chase after them, which will cause chaos.

On the frontal battlefield here, the Zhou army's infantry formation Zuoji was the weakest, but there was a heavy infantry, and before being hit by the horse army, Khambrang Wang's subordinates suffered very heavy losses, if he was allowed to attack again, he would definitely be unwilling, and Yingchengsky in the north was relatively better, so he could only let his left army attack.

"Give the order to Wen Naiqi and Zhuo Luo Zunli, prepare to retreat after breaking off!" Wen Fan's face was gloomy, and he had to make a decision, and said, "Wen Qishi! You led your headquarters with 4,000 cavalry to assist Yingchengsky in attacking the right army on the opposite side. ”

Wen Qishi was stunned when he heard this, and immediately went to transfer troops to prepare. Wen Fan also sent an order to Khenbrang Wang, ordering him to lead the remnants of five or six thousand cavalry and retreat while the left side of the north was attacking.

The infantry formation of the Jingyan Army in the south finished killing the enemy cavalry under the main attack of 1,000 heavy infantry, and began to reorganize the team in preparation for another battle. Zhang Yue just sent someone to take a look at the Chinese army, and after reporting to learn more about it, he no longer paid attention to it, seeing that the large array of the Fan army was much thinner at this time, there were only five or six thousand cavalry left in the south, and the Chinese army was about the same, and there were about 10,000 more than 10,000 cavalry in the north, and a new round of mobilization was being carried out.

"Humph! This Wen Fan was about to run, so he ordered the front army to transfer a thousand crossbowmen, run to the right army, and turn to the south side of the right army, and flank it laterally. Zhang Yue understood Wen Fan's intentions at a glance, but there was nothing good to do. The Ma army is too small to be of great use, and if there are too many, the logistics will be doubled, and this will not hurt.

The cavalry mobilized quickly, and the 4,000 cavalry of the Chinese army were already in front of the formation and did not return, and then slowly drove to the north, revealing their intentions at once. Yingchengsky was not ready for this, and it would take a little time to transfer out the four thousand horsemen.

By the time he completed the transfer, Xuan Chongwen of the former army had transferred a thousand strong crossbowmen, and divided the former Zhenyuan army into three or four regiments, and turned to the right on the spot, and the soldiers were holding spears and big shields, and marched in unison to the south side of the right army in a horizontal line close to the junction between the front army and the right army.

At this moment's turn, the soldiers were silent, only the armor collided and made a loud noise, and then the front line advanced like a wall, and the two thousand pairs of big feet walked up in unison, with a loud sound, and Wen Fan was dazzled and secretly frightened.

The infantry formation of the forward flank attack was not yet in place, and the Fan cavalry finally completed the mobilization, and the four thousand cavalry from the north and south, one left and one right, gradually accelerated and galloped, like two sharp arrows rushing towards the high and long sea department of the right army.

The 4,000 cavalry in the north once again faced the spear and shield to resist the horse formation, and Wen Qishi saw the Zhou army's forward movement, and suddenly changed his mind, and suddenly turned his horse to the ground, and the long horse team behind also led the way, and turned to kill the 2,000 infantry that turned around.

The main and deputy leaders of the third regiment were He Chenghui and Gao Hongxuan, who were facing the direction of the enemy, while the fourth regiment was Fu Zhaoji and Du Ximi, who were close to their own infantry at this time, but the distance was about one hundred and fifty paces, because the front army was protruding forward.

As soon as he saw the enemy suddenly turn his head and kill, He Chenghui shouted loudly: "Stand! Turn left on......"

The thunderous sound of horses' hooves interfered, and the soldiers behind them had to gesture to assist. The two commanding teams of the three regiments quickly changed from horizontal columns to vertical columns, and shrank into a large "field" shaped square with the four regiments, and then the sharp corners continued to retract, and the shield and big guns were set up to form a small hedgehog-shaped small circle array, which was still being integrated.

Seeing the soldiers of the Zhou army running in formation, completing the change of formation in just one minute, Wen Qishi was greatly surprised, this speed was too fast. Qingtang City also has infantry, but there are not many, according to his common sense, if the infantry wants to temporarily change the formation, it is impossible to have a cup of tea.

"Shoot the arrows!" Winchsch was in the middle of the horse, and he was five hundred heavy riders in front of him, and now that he was a hundred paces away, it was impossible to turn again. The distance of a hundred paces is still a bit far, and the best range of the horned bow used by the cavalry is eighty paces, and the strong archers can barely shoot a hundred paces.

A dark cloud-like dense rain of arrows rushed towards the Zhou army's round formation, and the bullet fell to the ground in the clanging noise, followed by a projectile of sixty or seventy steps, and there was a muffled sound in the Zhou army's round formation, but the horse team galloped wildly, and then shot a round of arrow rain to raise the shield and draw the sword.

Just when the soldiers put down their bows and arrows and raised their shields to rush to kill, there was a whirring wind sound in the air, and the dense armor-piercing cone flew quickly, and the heavy cavalry in front of it suffered a head-on blow, followed by two or three rounds of throwing, and the heavy cavalry rolled and disappeared for most of it.

The armor-piercing cone only needs to be taken off from the back and thrown, which is very convenient and easy to use at close range, but each soldier is equipped with six, and although the front shield wall has already received the enemy, the gunners in the formation have all thrown it.

The loud sound was deafening, and the Fan cavalry shouted frantically and rushed to kill, knocking the horse gun and breaking the roots, but also falling a large piece. Wen Qishi rushed to kill for a while, and immediately turned back, and rushed from behind, unaware that there was another group of Zhou crossbowmen trotting close to the south side.

Woohoo...... A dense rain of arrows shot over hundreds of horsemen on the side, and finally attracted the attention of Wen Qishi, he roared angrily, and left the team with hundreds of horsemen, scattered to kill the crossbowmen, but as soon as he rushed nearly a hundred paces, the rain of arrows continued, and Wen Qishi had to give up, and instead beat his horse and ran away.

At this time, he suddenly found that the right army of his own large array in the west had withdrawn, and the Chinese horse team had also turned around.

Wen Qishi felt a chill in his heart, and fled westward with hundreds of horsemen, looking back when he left the battlefield, there were still two thousand horsemen behind him, and the team from the north also withdrew, while the Zhou army still stood still.

Wen Qishi gathered his soldiers all the way and withdrew, but he did not dare to return to the camp outside Tonghuang Fort, he had to wait for news of Wen Naiqi and Zhuo Luo Zunli. By noon, Wen Naiqi fled back with more than 1,000 horsemen, but Zhuo Luo Zunli did not reply, and asked the soldiers, saying that he was hit in the back by a Zhou general armed with an iron stick, and seemed to have been captured alive.

Soon, news came from the camp of Tonghuangbao, ordering Wen Qishi to lead his troops to break off, and the whole army withdrew to Michuan City. Wen Qishi was worried that the Zhou army's horse team would come to attack him, so he hurriedly let the soldiers rest for a while before withdrawing.

On the battlefield, the Zhou army was still cleaning up the corpses of men and horses and collecting the spoils of war. The Ma army also returned, and Bian Ji's department was considered a complete victory, capturing Zhuo Luo Zunli, beheading more than 5,000 ranks, capturing more than 3,000 people, and scattering some others.

Hao Tianying was outnumbered, and his own horsepower was exhausted and disadvantaged, and there were 500 heavy cavalry under Wen Nai's command, and nearly 1,000 soldiers were killed before and after, and more than 500 were seriously wounded, and almost everyone returned with injuries.

Before going deep into the Qingtang Plateau, the first battle was won, which was a good start, unfortunately failed to completely annihilate the enemy, but the 57,000 Qingtang Fan lost more than 30,000 soldiers in this battle, which was definitely a broken muscle.

On March 17, Zhang Yue led his troops to Tonghuang Fort, received them easily, and continued to advance westward, and arrived at Huangshui County, Shanzhou Prefecture, that is, Miaochuan City, in the afternoon of the same day, and set up a large camp on a slope five miles east of the Cheese River in the east of the city, and planned to attack the city when the siege equipment was brought up.
