The next day.

June 25.

Break the army on duty, and benefit the north.

This is the result of divination.

Zhang Qi has always ignored the fact that there are any tricks in the process of these divinations. He simply announced this result that could inspire the morale of the army.

Of course, the divination results that will be published are extremely auspicious.

This season is the earliest season when the sun rises. As soon as the sun showed its face, the Tai marching army got up and carried out the final combat preparations.

Eat, put on armor, mount horses, and line up......

The battle-hardened soldiers of Taihang completed the pre-war preparations within half an hour step by step.

The location of the battlefield chosen by both sides was on the land called Gohara County by the imperial court. However, this territory, although nominally still belonging to the Han Dynasty, has actually been occupied by the Xiongnu and Xianbei people.

Especially after the "Battle of Sunset Plains" that year, the Xianbei people came with the power of a great victory. At that time, the Han people who still lived in Wuyuan were afraid of the Xianbei soldiers and moved to the Han land one after another. After that, Gohara County and the nearby Shuofang County existed in name only, and became the ranches of the Xianbei people.

In this battle, although Zhang Qiang set up his own formation in the infantry team under Xie Xun, the core force of the Taixing Army was the cavalry team under the command of Lejin.

If it is more accurate, the core strength of the Taihang Army is the veterans of the cavalry team led by Le Jin who have been trained in Taihang Mountain for several years. As for the rest of the soldiers who only joined the cavalry team later, they were led by Zhao Yun, the deputy general of the cavalry team who was temporarily sent out by the arrogant, and formed another formation.

In the last battle, when facing the Helian army, Zhang Qiang discharged a "pin" shaped formation, fighting the tactics of defending instead of attacking, waiting for the enemy to be tired, and then outflanking the cavalry arranged on both wings. After all, at that time, the Taixing army was fighting on the inside line and had a strategic advantage. If the two sides continue to confront each other, it will be beneficial to the Taixing army.

However, in the battle in front of us, the offensive and defensive momentum is out of place.

In an offensive stance, cavalry is clearly more suitable than infantry. Therefore, in this battle, Zhang Qiang directly discharged the "one" shaped formation. Xie Xun's department was in the center, Song Guo was on the left, and Zhao Yun was on the right, and the three troops marched side by side. As for Lejin's cavalry team and Tai Shici's personal guards, they were placed at the rear of the formation as killer weapons and reserves.

Compared with the strict formation of the Taixing army, the subordinates of Yan Liyou are obviously a little chaotic. The five thousand cavalry, divided into eleven in groups of four to five hundred men, were commanded by the commanders of the various tribes. Although it doesn't look good, however, as a pure cavalry composition, the Yanliyou Department occupies an extremely wide area, and from the perspective of momentum alone, it obviously exceeds the Taixing army by a large margin.

This battle is a tough one. Basically nothing fancy to talk about.

As if there was some tacit understanding, the two sides began to move forward slowly after arranging the formation. The distance between each other ranged from 500 paces, to 400 steps, to 300 steps, to 200 steps, and finally to stay 150 paces away.

This distance is the maximum effective range of the Han army's strong crossbow, which is the so-called "land of one arrow". Yan Liyou, who has combat experience with the Han army, will definitely not miss this point. You know, that's a bloody lesson.

After the formation was completed, a small group of cavalry, protruding from the cavalry formation of the Xianbei people, came to the front. The general at the head, dressed in delicate dark iron fish scale armor and a wide felt hat, rode on a tall horse, looked majestic, and shouted loudly at the Han army's position:

"I'm the Great Xianbei Country, Yan Liyou, the chief general of the Han Army, can I come out and see you?"

The man's voice was unusually loud. Even if Zhang Mad was a hundred or fifty paces away from this person, he could still hear it clearly. In recent days, Zhang Qi has gradually become proficient in the use of Xiongnu dialect. Therefore, without the need for someone else's translation, he already understood what the other person meant.

The rise of the Xianbei people, after all, is still a short time. Therefore, in the grassland, especially in the Xianbei territory in the west, Xiongnu is still the most popular lingua franca among tribes.

In order not to fall to the bottom of the momentum, Zhang Qiang resolutely rode forward. Although this kind of thing is somewhat dangerous, it is related to the morale of the whole army, and it is better to go out for a trip.

Of course, insolence will not go out alone. Beside him, on the left is Tai Shici, and on the right is Dian Wei. With such two super fierce generals, where in the world can't you go?

"Captain Han Taixing, I've seen Lord Yan Liyou."

Zhang Crazy used the official words of the Han Dynasty to respond to the banquet. Thanks to his increasingly profound Taiping True Qi, every word can clearly reach the ears of the Xianbei people opposite.

Yan Liyou secretly admired in his heart. Although the other party is young, this skill is really not to be underestimated. Yan Liyou actually knows Chinese as well. However, speaking to Zhang Qiang, it is more in line with his identity to use Xiongnu.

"We are Xianbei in the west, and we have never had any grievances or enmity with you. Why did you raise an army for no reason, and you still resorted to such vicious means to cut off our way of life? ”

Since ancient times, it has been necessary to emphasize that "a division is famous" in wars. This is not pedantry, but it directly affects the combat of the sergeants and pawns. In any case, if you take advantage of it, the soldiers will be more at ease when they cut people down, right?

Insolent eloquence, in fact, is average. However, after listening to the other party's words, he smiled "haha" and asked loudly:

"Your Excellency is also a prince, don't you know that the king and company you are waiting for were driven back to Danhan Mountain by our army a few days ago? The Han Xianbei is an enemy country. Could it be that Lord Yan Liyou has already made up his mind to break away from Danhan Mountain and re-erect the banner of the Huns? ”

Although Yan Liyou and Helian are very incompatible, they will not take the initiative to break away from the banner of Xianbei. He ignored the arrogant question, and took it upon himself to accuse Han Jun's behavior:

"Now, you men, come to our steppe and kill our people and plunder our cattle and sheep! The most hateful thing is that they even killed all the excess cattle and sheep and threw them on the grassland! You vicious men, do you want a dangerous plague to appear in the vast grasslands? ”

The level of medical care of the steppe peoples is really unusually low. Once sick, they usually go to the tribe's shamans, shamans and other dancing gods. In the event of a plague, the person is usually immediately expelled from the tribe to avoid infecting others. The words of the banquet undoubtedly caused a lot of irritation to the subordinates. Not to mention anything else, at least the fighting spirit of the Xianbei people has been visibly improved.

"Your land? Will it be yours here? Joke! ”

Zhang Madness used the spear in his hand, pointed to the ground, and roared:

"The shore of the land is not the king's land! Just a few hundred years ago, Emperor Wu [Liu Che] was here, mobilizing millions of Han people to Tuntian here! You Hun relics, taking advantage of my Han Han's tolerance for you and others, stealing this place, even dare to quibble! Shameless! ”

These words, in fact, are somewhat redundant. Both sides speak their own ways, and do not pay attention to the rhetoric of the enemy. Originally, everyone is not of the same race, let you talk about it, and the other party can't understand it. Therefore, the dialogue between the two coaches is not so much for each other as for their own soldiers.

From this point of view, the dialogue between the two coaches can be called quite boring.

However, will Lord Yan Liyou, who is known for his resourcefulness and resourcefulness, do things that are purely boring?

The reason why Yan Liyou deliberately came to such a hand before the battle was actually to harbor evil intentions. Just when he was arrogant and generous, the big knife in Yan Liyou's hand suddenly came out of its sheath and slashed it falsely. Taking this as a signal, the ten Xianbei knights lined up behind him neatly drew their bows, set up arrows, aimed at the insolence, and launched a volley!

Yan Liyou and his party are not more than 100 steps away from arrogance at this moment. At this distance, an average bow and arrow, there is no lethality at all. However, since Yan Liyou has deliberately arranged such a play, how could he not consider these details?

The bow is a specially made powerful compound bow. The arrow is a specially elongated carved arrow. And those shooters, each of them, has shot down the eagle eagle that soars in the sky!

Ten Condor Shooters at the same time sniping Insolence!

This is the highest force that Yan Liyou can come up with. He believes. Under the volley of ten Condor Archers, even if he is not dead, he will be seriously injured!

What's more, in order to pursue the greatest lethality, each arrow carved with arrows is smeared with poison carefully prepared by the sorcerers of the clan. To say that it is to see blood seal the throat is an exaggeration. However, as long as the wound is stained even slightly, if it is not treated in time, it will be life-threatening.

This poison needs to be mixed with seven or eight kinds of dilute poisons from the grassland, and then added to the septic poison from the wounds of tetanus patients to be prepared. Due to the difficulty of preparation, it is easy to fail after a long time, and even wizards are reluctant to formulate.

However, there is absolutely no doubt about the lethality of this poison.

It is said that the Huns were shocked and rampant in the grassland desert, the Han hussar general, the champion Hou Huo was sick, and he was poisoned in the battle of the surprise attack on the Xiongnu royal court. Although Huo Huqi was treated by a military doctor at that time, and after returning to the Han Dynasty, he received the best treatment from the imperial court, but he had not been cleared of the poison, and he died young when he was in his twenties.

Of course, this is just a matter of saying. What the actual situation will be has become known over time. However, the power of this poison can also be seen here.

With a distance of about 100 steps, even as an archer, you may not be able to hit every shot. Of the ten long arrows that came out of the strong bow of about four stones, two of them were slightly off, so there was no need to consider them. However, the remaining eight long arrows were shot quickly and accurately.

Eight long arrows, five of which go straight to the body of the madman, and three of which are fired at the madness's mount, including the madness's dodge lines. Just from the terrible roar brought by the arrows, it can be seen that the terrifying lethality of these arrows is enough to penetrate the fine iron and bright light armor worn by Zhang Madness!
