Zhao Xu looked at the battlefield where Zhang Yuanhui fled and did not chase it, because he knew that in the next battle of Gaoping, Zhang Yuanhui might die here.

Liu Chong had also received the battle report from the front, Zhang Yuanhui returned defeated, and he was also furious when he knew the news.

Liu Chong is also a masterpiece of a generation, otherwise he would not be able to sit on the emperor, and he quickly suppressed his anger, and the way of the emperor is the emperor's forte.

So he personally went to the camp gate to greet Zhang Yuanhui, who had returned from defeat, only to see that Zhang Yuanhui had lost his former demeanor, and the whole person was in tatters.

His face was dark, and the soldiers behind him were even more depressed, without any spirit, Zhang Yuanhui immediately knelt down when he saw the emperor.

Liu Chong held him with his hand, stopped him from kneeling, and smoothed Zhang Yuanhui's messy hair with his hand.

At the same time, he also comforted him, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, don't care too much, I will rely on General Zhang more in the future.

In fact, what Zhang Yuanhui wants to hear most now is Liu Chong's accusation, so that his heart can feel better.

But Liu Chong not only did not blame him for the defeat, but comforted him, which moved him very much.

Zhang Yuanhui, whose eyes were full of tears, vowed to repay his majesty to the death. Liu Chong may have seen what he was thinking.

So he ordered Zhang Yuanhui to lead the left army and sit in the middle army himself, Liu Chong's arrangement was purposeful, because he knew that Chai Rong had already driven the imperial expedition and was about to arrive in Gaoping.

Chai Rong will also die and get the battle report from the front, they defeated Zhang Yuanhui, and Chai Rong immediately led the main force of the Zhou army to appear in front of the Northern Han army.

He couldn't wait to win a battle, although he knew that his army was not as large as that of the Northern Han at this time, but Chai Rong felt that this was an opportunity, otherwise he wouldn't have to wait until in the future.

So he didn't wait for Liu Ci's arrival, and immediately deployed the battle order:

Xiang Xun and Shi Yanchao led the elite soldiers to live in the center and served as the reads of the Chinese army.

In front of the palace, he commanded Zhang Yongde, Zhao Kuangyin and his son to protect me, and led the forbidden army to sit in the Chinese army. Commanding on the spot. （）

The Ma army commanded Fan Aineng, and the infantry army commanded He Hui to lead the people and horses on the East Road.

Ma Bujun Du Yu waited for Li Chongjin and Jie Du to make Bai Chongzan lead the Western Route Army.

Chai Rong sent a series of orders, and everyone prepared to go, and for a while, the Great Zhou army was in a non-stop formation.

The Northern Han side was festive, because I heard that Chai Rong, the lord of Zhou, was here, and wouldn't it be better if he could catch Chai Rong in one fell swoop this time.

In particular, Liu Chong, the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, was even more happy, because he saw that there were not many people in the Later Zhou, and his confidence was even more inflated in the last few battles with the Later Zhou.

This time, he saw that there were not many men and horses in the rear Zhou forwards, so he thought that he could defeat the Zhou army without the Khitan people.

He said to his generals: "Our Han army can defeat the Zhou army, how can we use the Khitans." Today, we not only want to defeat the Zhou State in one fell swoop, but also let the Khitans see the strength of our Han army, so that their Khitans dare not underestimate our Han people."

The generals of the Northern Han Dynasty also agreed, because they had long been tired of the arrogance of the Khitan, and they were here to help in the war, which was obviously to invite an ancestor.

Yang Gunhao, a far-sighted general in Khitan political affairs, judged that the Zhou army was strong and well-trained and could not be attacked by force after observing the formation and appearance of the Later Zhou army before the battle.

So he said to the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty: "The Zhou army is a strong enemy, and you should not attack rashly. ”

Liu Chong, the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, thought that the Khitan was going to sit on the ground and ask for benefits, so he said disapprenantly:

"Chai Rong is right in front of you, the opportunity must not be lost, if you don't come back, the general will not say it again, and watch me break the enemy, and let the Khitan brothers watch the battle from the sidelines."

Yang Gon wanted to say something, but Liu Chong waved his hand impatiently, which means, you don't talk about it anymore.

Yang Gon was also angry: "I'll see how you break the enemy in the Northern Han, and then see how you come to beg me Khitan, just do it." ”

"Since Your Majesty has decided, then the foreign minister will take his leave." Yang Gon walked out of the military tent with a single sleeve.

This scene made everyone in the Northern Han Dynasty very angry, and they all made up their minds to win this battle, lest the Khitan look down on us.

Wang Yansi, the deputy privy envoy of the Northern Han Dynasty, sent Si Tianjian Li Yi to the Northern Han Lord, saying that it was a good omen for the northeast wind to turn into a south wind, and advised the Northern Han Lord to attack, and Liu Chong, who was carried away by the victory, actually believed it.

So this guy himself personally led the Chinese army and prepared for a decisive battle with the Zhou army. At the same time, he ordered Zhang Yuanhui to lead the army in the east, and asked Yang Gon to lead the Khitan cavalry in the west, which seemed to be very powerful for a while.

After getting the news, Emperor Chai Rong smiled slightly, this Liu Chong is really hopeless, and he still believes that the change in the direction of the wind is a good omen, and he is stupid.

Chai Rong did not take into account that the tailwind could make the arrows of the Northern Han shoot farther, which was more beneficial to the Northern Han.

Sure enough, before the two sides could make contact, the Northern Han Dynasty shot a rain of arrows, carrying the power of the wind, and the sergeant of the Great Zhou fell in an instant.

As soon as the army of the Northern Han Dynasty saw it, they kept shouting long live, while the soldiers of the Great Zhou seemed to be a little afraid, and some of their faces had begun to turn pale.

Listening to the cheers of the soldiers of the Later Han Army, and the pale faces of the soldiers of the Great Zhou, Chai Rong was also a little worried.

Zhang Yongde rushed to Chai Rong and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, our morale is constantly declining, and it is not a way to go on like this!" Otherwise, let's retreat first and avoid its edge.

"I, I didn't know that the morale was so low, but if I retreated, it would definitely be a big defeat, and the soldiers of our army would no longer have the strength to fight."

"Besides, the number of our army is not as good as the Han army, Liu Ci's rear army doesn't know when it will come, we can hold on for a while, and if we can insist on the arrival of General Liu's rear army, we will win."

Zhang Yongde looked at Chai Rong, who was full of confidence, and couldn't help nodding again and again, he immediately deployed the forbidden army to protect Chai Rong's safety.

Chai Rong didn't know that his two generals, his confidant and favorite generals, the commanders of the Right Army at this time, Fan Aineng, He Hui and others were quietly discussing in the army at this time.

Fan Aineng said in a low voice: "Your Majesty has miscalculated a little this time, and he actually drove the expedition in person, and he wanted to defeat the Northern Han Dynasty with our little strength." “

He drank a glass of wine and continued: "The Northern Han is not afraid of it, the key is that there is a Khitan behind the Northern Han, Brother He, you have also seen the Khitan army, how majestic it is, we can't beat others, Your Majesty is a little too self-conscious." “

He Hui also nodded in agreement:

"Brother Fan, what you said is extremely correct, I think we will be able to win the attack on the Northern Han, but to defeat the combined forces of the Khitan and the Northern Han, it is a fantasy. , Your Majesty is still too young......"

At this time, Fan Aineng also lowered his voice and said:

"Brother He, I think in today's battle, our chances of winning are not big, we can't afford to put our lives here, if we ......"

He looked around:

"If the enemy army is too fierce, I think we will have to use the best of the thirty-six strategies, you see ......!"

He Hui also understands:

"That's right, Brother Fan, let's see the opportunity to act when the time comes, come and drink."

Damn, the two of them were ready to run away before the battle even started, what a fucking shame.

At this time, the original northwest wind turned into a southeast wind, which made Chai Rong breathe a sigh of relief, and this wind direction can sometimes withstand thousands of troops.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Liu Chong loudly ordered a general attack.

Wang Dezhong, a privy counselor standing beside Liu Chong, hurriedly grabbed the reins of Liu Chong's horse, and persuaded repeatedly: The current wind direction is not conducive to our army, so let's not attack.

Liu Chong laughed: "Master only knows the way of Confucius and Mencius, how can he know about this war, let's go back and read your book." “

Wang Dezhong was ashamed, so Liu Chong issued a military order for a decisive battle, and the first order was handed over to the beloved general Zhang Yuanhui!

Zhang Yuanhui was very happy to see that he was the first person in the whole army to receive the order, and he was holding back a force in his heart to defeat the Zhou army, and he was ashamed.

At the same time, it was more moved, not only did Your Majesty not punish himself, because he lost the battle, but handed over the heavy responsibility to me, and I will die.

Zhang Yuanhui personally led a thousand elite cavalry troops to launch an attack on the Han army's Eastern Route Army, and the power of the attack with anger should not be underestimated.

The soldiers in the front row of the Eastern Route Army were not able to stop the attack of the Han cavalry at all, and they were crushed at the first touch.

Some even fled outright.

Seeing such a situation, Fan Aineng and He Hui looked at each other with a tacit look, they were about to escape.

They ordered the overseers of the Eastern Route Army to lead their troops to resist Zhang Yuanhui's attack, but the two of them slowly and continuously retreated.

The prison army was not ambiguous at all, and after receiving the order, he led his troops to kill the enemy, and for a while he really blocked Zhang Yuanhui.

At this time, a dramatic scene actually occurred in the camp of the Zhou army, and the commanders Fan and He Erjiang actually fled.

The right-wing army with the duty of surveillance was shocked to see that Fan Aineng and He Hui were the first to escape. However, all his strength has been suppressed by Zhang Yuanhui's subordinates, and there is no time to stop it.

The overseers instantly felt powerless, and they could only do their best to block the enemy's attack.

This prison army is indeed fierce, and Zhang Yuanhui's troops are almost powerless to fight back.

At this time, Zhang Yuanhui raised his gun and got on the horse, slapping the horse and stabbing at it. Before the prison soldier could react, Zhang Yuanhui's spear had already pierced his back!

The flight of the commander and the death of the prison army made this group of Eastern Route troops who did not have time to escape at a loss and had no backbone.

Some people slowly gave up resistance, still walking their weapons on the ground, and some even shouted Long live the big man.

Liu Chong was proud to see this. Liu Chong immediately ordered the whole army to go south and launch a general attack on the Great Zhou army! For a time, the arrows were like flying locusts and the stones were like raindrops!

Chai Rong was shocked when he saw the defeat of his Eastern Route Army, especially when he heard that his two henchmen were about to escape, his lungs were about to explode.

Perhaps it was at this time that he was determined to rectify military discipline in the future.
