Zhao Yingqi had a great personality cult of Liang Xiao, and also admitted that the cavalry of South Vietnam was inferior to that of the Central Plains. The strength of the cavalry was determined by an important factor: the war horse. The Dian horse can carry heavy loads and climb mountains, but as a war horse, it is obviously not comparable to the Central Plains Dynasty that has just conquered the grassland.

However, Liang Xiao said that the sailors of the Han Dynasty were also stronger than Nanyue, and Zhao Yingqi was very unconvinced. On the one hand, for the sake of face, South Vietnam can bow to the Central Plains, but it must retain a little dignity; On the other hand, it is based on facts. In his opinion, although the Central Plains Dynasty had building ships, building ships were not suitable for combat ships except for their large loading capacity. In terms of water divisions, of course, South Vietnam has the advantage.

Out of respect for Liang Xiao himself, Zhao Yingqi did not refute it in person, leaving it to the facts to prove.

However, the Han army has not made further moves, and it has not launched an offensive after half a month of training and rest. Zhao Yingqi waited anxiously, and was so angry that he scolded Yu Shan for being incompetent. Sitting on superior troops, watching the opponent show off his might, but he didn't dare to attack, he was really a bad seed.

Liang Xiao watched Zhao Yingqi jump up and down and felt funny. He could roughly guess Zhao Yingqi's thoughts, but he also knew that Zhao Yingqi's hope was just a bubble after all. Forty years ago, Zhao Tuo still had a chance to compete with the Central Dynasty, but now, the strength of the Han Dynasty is not what it used to be, and it is no longer something that South Vietnam can compete with. What Bing Feng pointed out will become the territory of the Han Dynasty, which is an inevitable trend, and it is not something that can be reversed by any one person.

What about me? Where is it safe for me to retreat? Liang Xiao couldn't help but ask himself. He looked up and looked into the distance. On the other side of the strait, there is a treasure island, but is it safe to retreat overseas?

Liang Xiao was skeptical.

Zhao Yingqi was anxious, and Yu Shan was also anxious. The longer he waited, the more stressed he became. In the end, he failed to withstand the pressure and took the initiative to attack Wei Qing and Wu Bei. Leaving 10,000 troops to defend the camp. He personally led 15,000 foot soldiers out of the camp and challenged Wei Qing and Wu Bei.

The two sides fought a decisive battle in a piece of Handi in the south of the river.

After receiving the news, Liang Xiao led Zhao Yingqi, under the protection of more than 100 knights, to the mountains near the battlefield to watch the battle. He believed that Wei Qing would be able to comprehend what he meant and fight this battle beautifully. It plays a role in warning Zhao Yingqi. If you don't watch such a scene up close, the shock will be greatly reduced.

Abandoning the war horse under Nanhan, Liang Xiao and Zhao Yingqi walked up the ridge and climbed a boulder. There is a dense shade next to the boulder, just in time to block the dazzling sunlight. Looking into the distance, you can overlook the entire battlefield, but there will be no suspicion of accidental injury, which is really an excellent position for VIPs.

Liang Xiao and Zhao Yingqi glanced at each other and grinned. Raised clairvoyance and observed the battlefield.

Yu Shan stood in the east and divided the army into four parts, leading the middle army, about 5,000 people, the front army also had 5,000 people, a thousand people for a while, and the five phalanxes were two in front and three in the back. Face to face with the 3,000 foot soldiers led by Wu Su, and about 2,000 people each of the two armies on the right and right. On the left flank was a large river up to a hundred paces wide, and no cover was arranged.

Liang Xiao aimed his clairvoyance at Yu Shan's camp again. The camp gate was closed, and the flags were faintly visible, revealing indescribable tension.

"Your Highness, how many people do you estimate there are in the camp?"

Zhao Yingqi thought about it. "There shouldn't be more than 10,000 people."

"Why did Yu Shan leave so many people to guard the camp?"

Zhao Yingqi breathed a sigh of relief and pondered for a moment: "He should be afraid that we will attack the camp." Hey. It is prudent enough to leave so many people in the camp. ”

"He's not cautious, he's afraid." Liang Xiao re-aimed his clairvoyance at Yu Shan's battle array. "The arrangement of troops, generally speaking, is real and empty, and the number of Chinese troops cannot be too much. Leave enough space to maneuver. He concentrated nearly one-third of his troops in the Chinese army, indicating that he had no confidence in blocking the attack of the Han army at all, and he wanted to arrange heavy troops by his side. That is, although he has superior forces, psychologically, he has already set himself on the defensive. ”

Zhao Yingqi nodded again and again. Although he had also read some military books and participated in some reviews, his experience on the battlefield was limited, and he was able to get Liang Xiao's on-site commentary and analysis, which of course benefited him a lot.

"It will be the courage of an army, Yu Shan's weak heart, and he is also conservative in tactics, which will inevitably affect the rhythm of the battle and be in a passive situation."

"Yu Shan has superior forces, and he gave up the attack and defended the position, so can the Han army break through his formation?"

The corners of Liang Xiao's mouth were slightly raised. "Did you notice the cavalry?"

Zhao Yingqi shook his head. He looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see where the cavalry was. The Han army had 1,000 elite cavalry, but there were hardly any formed cavalry on the battlefield, except for the scouts galloping back and forth. He was curious, where did those cavalrymen go?

"Where did the cavalry go?"

"I don't know, but I'm sure the cavalry will appear in a way you can't imagine, and when it does, it's bound to be a thunderbolt."

Zhao Yingqi wanted to speak and stopped. He never denied the might of cavalry. He also wanted to take this opportunity to see if the cavalry of the Central Plains Dynasty was as strong as Liang Xiao said, enough to crush the cavalry of South Vietnam.

The drums of war sounded, and the battle began. The situation is as Liang Xiao said, although Yu Shan has five times the superior force, he did not take the initiative to attack, but just firmly held his position, waiting to be beaten. On the contrary, Wu Shu, who had only 3,000 men, took the initiative to attack, and two squads of 200 people each stood out from their own formation, forming horns and tentatively attacking the two flanks of the front military formation of the Minyue army.

The Minyue army held its position tightly and remained unmoved.

Wu was not in a hurry, constantly adjusting the direction of the attack, teasing the Minyue army. Seeing that the strong attack was fruitless, the two 200-strong squads simply sat down in front of the formation, untied their armor, and chatted and cursed the formation. Liang Xiao and the others were too far away to hear what they were scolding, but they could imagine what those people would say.

Zhao Yingqi shook his head. Yu Shan was really intimidated, and he was so insulted that he was still indifferent.

The progress of the battle became a little boring, the two sides were in full battle, but they did not launch a real attack for a long time, and the Han soldiers who were scolding the formation were even lying on the ground, and they didn't know if they were asleep, and the Minyue army still did not move. Over the battlefield, only the low sound of war drums sounded one after another, which seemed a little boring.

Zhao Yingqi's freshness had passed, he yawned, turned over and leaned on the boulder, and took a nap.

Liang Xiao was still sitting. But he also let go of clairvoyance. The battlefield seems to have frozen, and nothing has changed. He was thinking about the possible deployment of Wei Qing and Wu Bei in his heart, but he couldn't think of any plan they would have to win. After all, the disparity in the strength of the two sides is huge, and even if the Han army is good at fighting, it is difficult to win easily.

Do they want to use the tactics of exhausting the army to drag Yu Shan to exhaustion before attacking?

Liang Xiao raised his clairvoyance again. Align with the position of the Woo Quilt and take a closer look. After watching it for a while, he laughed silently, and couldn't help but be amazed by Wu Shu's bold shooting. Wu Quilt's position looks like there are 3,000 people, but in fact there are only half of them at most, with people in front and only flags in the back, which is actually a false formation. If Yu Shan is bolder, he will take the initiative to attack. Wu Bei's empty city plan has long been broken.

It seems that Wu was also expected that Yu Shan would be weak-hearted, so he played such a hand.

Since it's an empty array, where is the real killing move? Liang Xiao's gaze extended to Wu Bei's back, between the mountains.

The two sides confronted each other for a day until the sunset hung over the western mountains. Seeing that the day's difficult stalemate was about to end, the lifeless Minyue army finally became a little more angry. Zhao Yingqi, who had slept for most of the day, also opened his eyes and looked around. He yawned and said, "Is this going to end?" ”

Liang Xiao shook his head and did not speak. He didn't think it should end there. But he didn't see what kind of arrangements the army would have.

At this moment, Beta suddenly pointed into the distance and said, "Master, look, Lou Ship." ”

Liang Xiao immediately stood up, raised his clairvoyance, and looked into the distance.

A building boat goes around the mountains. Walk up the river, and it's extremely fast. Immediately after, another building ship appeared in view, followed by another. Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows, and somewhat understood Wu Fu's intentions. I couldn't help but laugh.

Dragged Yu Shan with the empty array, nailed Yu Shan here for a day, his spirit was highly tense, and when it was about to end, when people's minds returned, he would attack again, and it was from the surface of the river, Yu Shan would definitely not have imagined.

The river is a hundred paces wide, although it is not very deep, but it is difficult for people and horses to wade through the water, and it is with this in mind that Yu Shan has reduced the cover of the left flank. At this moment, Wu was directly transported to Yu Shan's side by a building boat, which was indeed a strange trick.

However, it is easy to transport troops by building ships, but it is not so easy for building ships to land and launch attacks. What else is there to arrange for Wu Fu?

Liang Xiao was full of interest, wanting to see what kind of tricks this Wu was using to win more with less, known as the "Huainan Second Quilt" with Lei. Zhao Yingqi also saw Lou Chuan, guessed Wu Fu's intentions, and even saw the panic of the Minyue Army, and couldn't help but be amazed.

At this moment, all thirteen building ships appeared in the field of vision of Liang Xiao and others, and went upstream, rushing straight towards Yu Shan's left flank of the Chinese army. Yu Shan also discovered Lou Chuan, realized Wu Fu's intentions, and was very nervous. He immediately commanded the central army to move south, and at the same time ordered the front and rear left flanks and rear armies to move north, forming an interception formation to prevent the Han troops on the building ships from disembarking.

At the same time, Wu was attacked, and more than 1,000 foot soldiers rushed out of the battle formation and brazenly killed the front army of the Minyue army.

For a time, the war drums thundered, the flags flew, and the battlefield that had been silent for a day seemed to suddenly come to life, the drums shook the sky, and the shouts of killing came one after another.

The Minyue army changed formations, and the scene was a bit chaotic.

Liang Xiao looked at the Minyue army that was changing formations, crooked his mouth, and laughed. At this time, he finally guessed the plan of Wu Bei and others, and couldn't help but applaud this plan.

"Junhou, what about the cavalry, are you on the ship?"

Liang Xiao shook his head. "There should be few people on the ship, at most some archers, otherwise the draft is too deep and it is easy to run aground. Judging by the draft of these building ships, the cavalry should not be on the building ships. ”

"Where's that?"

Liang Xiao sold it. "Wait patiently, the cavalry will appear soon. Of course, you can also guess that the mystery has actually been revealed, and it depends on whether you can see through it. ”

Zhao Yingqi pursed his lips, raised his clairvoyance, and carefully observed the battle formation.

At this time, the Minyue army camp was in chaos. The Chinese army was moving south, and the left flank of the rear army and the front army was rushing to the north, forming formations along the river to prevent the building ships from docking. The building boats went up, parallel to the Chinese army of the Minyue Army, and the thirteen building boats lined up, constantly approaching the river bank. The two sides were only forty or fifty paces apart, and the archers all drew their crossbows and shot with all their might, and the arrows galloped together, covering the sky and the sun.

The first thousand-man phalanx of the front army was engaged, and more than 2,000 people were killed together, and the shouts of killing were earth-shattering.

The battle was fierce, and no one noticed that as the rear army rushed to the river to set up a formation, the rear of the Minyue army had lost protection and became the weakest link.

Following the corner of the protruding Chinese army, Liang Xiao looked into the distance.

Sure enough, on the mountain ridge in the distance, a moving figure appeared, and one by one the war horses rushed out of the valley and accelerated along the gentle slope of the riverbank. At the forefront were Han Shuo and the hundred Lang officials under his command, followed by Wei Qing's battle flag. The sound of horses' hooves became more and more urgent, louder and louder, and gradually converged into a rushing frenzy, rushing towards Yu Shan's Chinese army.

"Good!" Liang Xiao slapped his thigh and applauded loudly.

"That's ruthless." Zhao Yingqi looked at the cavalry that was rushing quickly, dumbfounded. At this time, he understood the combat intentions of the Han army. The previous confrontation between the infantry and the later building ships were actually all disguises, with only one purpose: to create an opportunity for the cavalry to assault.

At this moment, all of Yu Shan's attention was on the front army and the battlefield by the river, and the formation of the Minyue army had not yet been adjusted in place, even if Yu Shan saw the cavalry, he would not have time to react. The only thing he could do was to get the 2,000 men on the right wing to come forward and intercept him. But the cavalry came so quickly that the Minyue army on the right flank had no time to act. If you can't line up, even if you rush to the position, you can't stop the cavalry attack, and you will lose these people in vain.

Liang Xiao was right, the cavalry would appear in ways he couldn't imagine, and as soon as they appeared, it would be a thunderous blow.

Under Zhao Yingqi's gaze, Han Shuo and the others took the lead, rushed down the hillside, ran wildly along the river, shot a rain of arrows, and ran towards the Chinese army of the Minyue army. Behind them, the cavalry poured in like a tidal wave that broke the embankment, washing over the formation of the Minyue army.

The Minyue army was about to change formations in battle, and it was already a little chaotic, and it was even more frightened when they saw the cavalry suddenly appear behind them. The attacked rear army first collapsed, and then the Chinese army also had irreparable disarray. As more and more cavalry rushed and more and more arrows were fired into the formation, the Minyue Chinese army soon lost control, and many began to retreat eastward.

Although the number of cavalry is not large, the Minyue army has been frightened by the cavalry, and it has played a psychological shadow, and when it sees the cavalry appear, it is afraid of three points in my heart. Standing on the flat ground, they couldn't see how many cavalry the Han army had, they only knew that there was a dense crowd in front of them, and the fear in their hearts was invisibly magnified several times.

If Yu Shan is calm enough at this time, maybe there is still a chance to control the situation, but unfortunately his temporary command experience is too little, and it is all a failed experience, when he saw the cavalry suddenly behind him, he was already in a mess, where to consider other things.

In a matter of moments, the Minyue army was plunged into total chaos.

The cavalry, like a flood peak, hit the Chinese army of the Minyue army again and again, spreading fear.

In just three rounds, the Chinese army of the Minyue army collapsed. Wherever the cavalry went, the Minyue army scattered and fled, shouting to the sky and the earth, and the wolves rushed -
