readx; Although Xu Shuyi has some talent in his chest, he is a civilian official after all, and he has no actual combat experience, and his knowledge about military affairs comes from books, such as in one go, he has already obtained the information that the Anxi army is in front, at this time he was very excited, he was afraid of demoralization, and wanted to defeat the Anxi army in one go, he thought that he had 30,000 troops, and the other party only had 10,000, as long as the momentum was high, he could gather the Anxi army and annihilate it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He didn't know that the most important thing in the war was not only morale, but also physical strength, in a long war, physical strength was the key to the final decision of victory, he led the army from Huazhou to a long run, a whole day without rest, especially in the last fifty miles, when he heard that the Anxi army was ahead, he ordered to speed up, and promised the soldiers, defeat the Anxi army, everyone will be rewarded.

Although the morale was pulled up, the physical strength of the soldiers was sharply overdrawn, which Xu Shuyi did not realize at this time, but his attention was staring ahead, in front, he also saw a black pressure of 10,000 cavalry quietly lined up on the official road, under the cold moonlight, as if a group of vicious wolves were waiting for the arrival of their prey, that kind of murderous momentum made Xu Shuyi gasp, and he felt an inexplicable panic in his heart.

At this time, he couldn't help but look back at his army, his 30,000 troops were also overwhelming, and it seemed to have a kind of overwhelming power, which made Xu Shuyi slightly relieved.

By this time his army had slowed down, and one of his own soldiers exclaimed, "Look! The Anxi Army launched. ”

Xu Shuyi hurriedly looked into the distance, and Anxi really started, like a muffled thunder on the ground, and the ground suddenly trembled slightly, only to see that the Anxi army was like a surging flood, and like a ghost in the moonlight, killing this side from five miles away.

Xu Shuyi was so frightened that he shouted in a trembling voice: "Don't panic!" Prepare for battle. ”

At this time, the soldiers under his command retreated one after another, and everyone had a look of fear in their eyes, this is the Anxi Army! When the prestige of the Anxi Army has penetrated into the depths of everyone's heart, that kind of spontaneous fear will envelop everyone's heart.

"Brothers, don't panic, General Xu has an order, kill a soldier of the Anxi Army, and reward fifty times!"

This is a thirty-year-old general, burly, dark-faced, full of beard, his name is Yu Juyuan, originally the commander of the 30,000 Guanzhong Army, Li Heng handed over the 30,000 Guanzhong Army to Xu Shuyi, Yu Juyuan also followed to Henan, the Guanzhong Army was renamed the Bianhua Army, he was also taken away by Xu Shuyi, if it wasn't for the fear of Li Heng being held responsible, Xu Shuyi would have killed him a long time ago, although Yu Juyuan escaped with his life, he was completely overheaded, without soldiers and no duties, and became an idler, this time Xu Shuyi sneaked up on Chen Liu, but he was afraid that he would make trouble in Huazhou, And they took him with him.

At this time, Yu Juyuan saw that the situation was critical, and Xu Shuyi would not command the battle, so he stepped forward, Yu Juyuan rode on the army, and his voice was like a bell, buzzing to the ears of every soldier.

"The archers come forward, ready to release their arrows, the cavalry is behind, ready to attack, and the pikemen line up!"

Most of these soldiers were the Guanzhong army, all under his command, and after a short panic, they began to instinctively line up according to his command, and five thousand archers stood in line, stretched out their bows and arrows, and the arrows were slightly oblique upward, aiming at the Anxi army that was galloping thousands of horses.

And the six thousand cavalry were also ready to go, holding the reins of the horses, and the hooves of the horses were constantly beating the ground, and the most was 18,000 spearmen, who were in a phalanx of 6,000 people, waiting for the battle.

The Great War is about to begin...... 10,000 Anxi cavalry is divided into three teams, like three sharp spears, straight to the Bianhua army of Xu Shuyi, the Anxi army is extremely well-equipped, all bright light armor, each cavalry is equipped with Dawan war horses, horizontal knives, bows and arrows, spears, and even the shields they hold are made of light steel, wrapped in two layers of thick cowhide.

Although the number of Xu Shuyi's army was three times that of them, the Anxi army still chose to take the initiative without hesitation, and the power of the cavalry was to attack, breaking through the enemy's defense line with an unstoppable sharpness and tearing their positions.

The rain of arrows encountered during the impact will inevitably be sacrificed, but the sacrifice of the battlefield is the destination of the soldiers, and the soldiers of the Anxi army have no fear, they have the determination to die, and rush to kill the enemy brigade.

300 steps..... Two hundred steps.... One hundred and twenty steps .... The Anxi army has rushed to the firing range of the Bianhua army, Yu Juyuan's eyes are firmly fixed on the Anxi army, biting his lip, he knows very well that the armor and shield of the Anxi army are not comparable to the Tang army in the Central Plains, extremely strong, although a hundred steps have been shot, but after all, it is still too long, it is difficult for the arrow to penetrate the opponent's armor, only when they rush into seventy, it is the best range, otherwise with the speed of the Tang army, they will not have time to set up an arrow fifty paces away, even if one more round of arrows is shot within fifty steps, it will also mean heavy casualties of the archers.

Yu Juyuan restrained the urge to order, but Xu Shuyi was so anxious that he yelled frantically: "Hurry up and release the arrow!" Shoot the arrows! ”

Yu Juyuan hurriedly turned around and shouted, "Envoy, you can't release arrows now!" ”

"Bastard!" Xu Shuyi pointed his sword at him and scolded, "When will I order you to take charge of the army?" If you say more, I'll kill you! ”

Yu Juyuan gritted his teeth hatefully, no longer paying attention to him, Xu Shuyi ordered again: "Release the arrow, the violator will be killed!" ”

The drum of the arrows sounded, the military order was like a mountain, and the archers of the Bianhua army released their arrows one after another, and for a time five thousand arrows were like a dark cloud under the moonlight, covering the moonlight, and shrouded the Anxi army a hundred steps away.

The arrow was shot at the left army of the Anxi army that was running at the front, and at this time, the three thousand cavalry of the Anxi army raised their round shields at the same time, lying behind the neck of the war horse, and their round shield was more to protect the war horse.

I saw a 'click!' Click! As Yu Juyuan's judgment, a hundred steps away, the rain of arrows could barely penetrate the light steel shield of the Anxi army, and it was also difficult to shoot through the Mingguang armor, but although the armor of the Anxi army was extremely thick, more than 100 soldiers were shot, rolled off their horses, or the war horses were shot, fell to the ground, flipped the soldiers out, and were trampled to death by the war horses.... When the archers of the Bianhua Army finished shooting the first round, and the cavalry of the Anxi Army had already rushed sixty paces away, at this time, Xu Shuyi still did not realize that the danger had arrived, and he still shouted again: "Beat the drum, shoot again!" ”

"Can't shoot anymore!"

Yu Juyuan was so anxious that he shouted: "The archers quickly retreat, and the cavalry step forward to meet them!" ”

This time, Yu Juyuan no longer paid attention to Xu Shuyi's knife-like gaze, he rushed to the archery formation and shouted to the soldiers: "Brothers, quickly retreat!" ”

But at this time, the drum of archery sounded again, an order to retreat, an order to release arrows, so that the soldiers were at a loss, relying on Yu Juyuan to get closer to the soldiers began to retreat, but the archers who were far away from him could not hear still open their bows and arrows, and shot towards the Anxi army, although many soldiers gave up in this round, but there were still more than 3,000 arrows shot, the Anxi army had rushed to forty steps away, the arrows were strong, shot through the armor, and caused hundreds of casualties to the Anxi army, the screams of the soldiers, the blood splattered, and there was confusion in the formation.

Xu Shuyi looked up to the sky proudly and laughed, at this moment, a low horn sound suddenly came from afar, echoing in the moonlight, this is Li Sheng, the chief general of the Anxi Army, personally sounded the horn of attack, the left army that had just appeared chaotic, immediately stabilized its position, like a tornado sweeping across the continent, and swept towards the Biansli archers.

The distance of thirty steps may still have a moment for other cavalry, but it is a blink of an eye for the Anxi army, which has the best war horses in the world, and the archers found that the speed of the Anxi army is unusually fast, and many people shouted in horror, Xu Shuyi's face turned pale with fright, and he realized that he had made a stupid mistake, and it was too late for the lunge to retreat.

More than 2,500 cavalry on the left flank were like the most violent storm, rushing into the archers in an instant, slashing out with horizontal knives, flying obliquely with human heads, spears piercing out, piercing through the heart, corpses were everywhere in an instant, blood flowed like a river, the Anxi army destroyed the cruel killing, the archers were frightened to scatter and flee, and at this time, the right wing of the Anxi army was also killed, they and the left wing army were like two sharp knives, one left and one right, and the archers were strangled into a river of blood.

Xu Shuyi was stunned, and forgot to order the cavalry to attack, at this moment, part of the cavalry of the Bianhua Army took the initiative to attack, did not receive a military order, only to see Yu Juyuan take the lead, leading two thousand cavalry to the left flank of Anxi to meet the battle, Yu Juyuan was more anxious than anyone else, the defeat of the archers will have a serious impact on the entire battle, especially the night battle, he can see that the Anxi cavalry is very suitable for night battles, and must have been tempered in night battles, and although their army is large, they basically have no experience in night battles, An extremely strong combat force and an extremely rich ability to fight at night were enough to offset the superiority of their army.

If they don't curb the momentum of the Anxi army, they will definitely lose this battle, although Yu Juyuan knows that Xu Shuyi will not let him go afterwards, but in order to save the lives of his brothers, he has no choice but to let go.

Yu Juyuan danced his spear and roared and led two thousand cavalry to defeat the cavalry on the left flank of the Anxi army, and then the generals of the other cavalry corps woke up like a dream, and no longer waited for the drum order, and ordered their respective armies to rush up to defeat the cavalry of the Anxi army.

6,000 cavalry to 6,000 cavalry, the yellow dust was rolling, the night was bleak, only to see the figures shaking, the war horses were speeding like horse lanterns, and the shouts of killing shook the sky..... Xu Shuyi's eyes stared at Yu Juyuan coldly, he clenched the hilt of his sword tightly, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Hundreds of steps away, Li Sheng held a horizontal knife in his hand, watching the fierce battle ahead, the cold moonlight shining on his face, making his marble-hard cheeks shrouded in a faint layer of clear light, this clear light showed the coldness and ruthlessness in his eyes.

Behind him, 4,000 cavalry lined up in a phalanx, the team was uniform, Li Sheng had rich combat experience, he found the enemy's formation during the impact, archers, cavalry, and spearmen were arranged in turn, he changed the combat strategy on the spot, and stopped the impact of the 4,000 Chinese cavalry, which he had to use to deal with the enemy's nearly 20,000 spearmen.

At this time, Li Sheng's sharp eyes had already seen the weakness of the enemy's army, that is, the command was not effective, and the enemy's archers were in chaos, because there was a problem with their scheduling, and their cavalry attacked without military orders, what does this mean? It shows that there are two conductors on the other side.

Li Sheng's eyes narrowed into a slit, he wanted to know who was fighting against Xu Shuyi, but the battlefield was dusty, and he only saw a black shadow fighting, and he couldn't see the end, at this time, he rolled his eyes, calculated in his heart, and quietly ordered a general, who took advantage of the cover of night and quietly led a thousand people to leave.

Li Sheng suddenly ordered: "Pass my order, the left and right flank cavalry retreat!" ”

'Woo-woo!'

The horn of the withdrawal army sounded, and the cavalry on the left and right flanks immediately switched into retreat operations, fighting and retreating, like the ebb tide of the waves, and in an instant, they retreated cleanly, Xu Shuyi was overjoyed when he saw this, and he immediately ordered: "The whole army pursues and completely defeats the Anxi army!" ”

Yu Juyuan was so anxious that he yelled, "Don't pursue!" No pursuit! ”

He saw very clearly, the Anxi army was not defeated at all, they obviously had the upper hand, but they suddenly withdrew, there must be something wrong with this, and the other side still has a 4,000 cavalry that has not been invested, how can this be a defeat, although Yu Juyuan does not understand why the other party retreats, but at least one thing is certain, they will be defeated in pursuit, if they pursue, their cavalry and infantry will be separated, and they will be divided and annihilated by the other party.

Yu Juyuan led the cavalry to fight fiercely with the Anxi army, and had established prestige in the army, on the contrary, Xu Shuyi ordered the archers not to retreat, so that the archers suffered heavy losses, and the entire army was almost wiped out.

The drums of the march and pursuit were beating over and over again, but the cavalry team did not move a single person, and all obeyed Yu Juyuan's command.

At this time, Yu Juyuan suddenly found that there was another cavalry team three miles west of the retreating Anxi Army, waving flags, and there seemed to be thousands of people.

He was shocked in his heart, and immediately realized that the reinforcements of the Anxi army had arrived, and the 10,000 Anxi army had already made them invincible, and now if the reinforcements came again, they would definitely be defeated.

Yu Juyuan was anxious, he turned his horse's head, ran to Xu Shuyi, and said hurriedly: "Envoy, the enemy's reinforcements have arrived, and if we don't withdraw our troops, we will be defeated!" ”

Xu Shuyi already hated him to the bone at this time, and he wanted to swallow him in one bite, and now he listened to him to let him withdraw the army, which made Xu Shuyi finally find an opportunity, he cast a look at the pro-soldiers on both sides, and dozens of pro-soldiers rushed up, pulled Yu Juyuan off the horse, and pressed him to the ground.

Xu Shuyi pointed at him and scolded: "The thief dares to shake the heart of my army, come and behead me!" ”

"Envoy, you can't kill me!"

Yu Juyuan struggled desperately, but where did he earn the hands of dozens of people, dozens of people held him, the two grabbed his hair and pulled it forward, exposing his neck, he didn't have his own soldiers to help, only heard a scream, Yu Juyuan's head was chopped off with a knife.

There was silence in the Bianhua army, and thousands of people watched Yu Juyuan be killed, and many people couldn't bear to see it and turned their heads away.

Xu Shuyi's anger in his heart was still difficult to extinguish, and he ordered with hatred: "Use other people's heads as drumsticks, give me a drum attack!" ”

"Boom! Boom! Boom! The palpitating drum sounded again, this time without Yu Juyuan's obstruction, the military order began to become heavier than the mountain, the cavalry was helpless, only a shout, urging the war horse, to chase the tail of the Anxi rank, the spearmen behind also followed, but they were infantry, the speed was far from catching up with the cavalry, a moment later, the two armies were pulled away five or six miles away.

At this time, the Anxi army stopped withdrawing, and Li Sheng took the lead, looking at the chasing cavalry with a sneer, he knew that the person who could fight was killed.

"All army ready! Another shock. ”

He drew his sword, raised it high, and shouted sharply: "Let me taste the cavalry of the Anxi army!" Kill! ”

"Kill!"

The Anxi cavalry launched again, this time, they no longer had half a moment of hesitation, and the murderous spirit rose to the sky, and the 10,000 cavalry rushed towards the stunned 5,000 enemy cavalry.

．．．．．． In a night battle in September of the first year of Qingping, Li Sheng led 10,000 cavalry to defeat Xu Shuyi's 30,000 Bianhua army, most of the 30,000 troops were killed, 18,000 people were beheaded, and nearly 10,000 were killed, Xu Shuyi led less than 2,000 people to flee back to Huazhou, and the casualties of the Anxi army were less than 1,000.......
