The morning sun is red, illuminating the mottled wilderness. The land was covered with the snow that had not melted the night before, and with the look of the land and the endless crowds, it became speckled.

Xue Chongxun stood on a high place and looked down on the battlefield, the crowd of people lined up one after another in front of the regiment as a phalanx, and the generals on horseback ran back and forth in front of the camp, drums, trumpets, shouts, and the shouts of the battalions and regiments sounded together, very lively, and scattered everywhere with the oncoming cold wind.

At this time, the environment was not very favorable to the Chang'an army, the sun affected the line of sight in the east, and it was a headwind; However, the terrain is high in the west and low in the east, and it is obviously more economical to attack from a high position. This world is very fair, how can you take advantage of all the benefits?

The first-line troops numbered more than 10,000 people, with about 60 regiments of infantry and cavalry formations, and the long phalanx was spread out and stretched several miles wide. In the battle formation at the far corner, Xue Chongxun, who was in the Chinese army, couldn't see it clearly, and the people in the distance were as small as ants. There were more than 12,000 people of the right army in the rear of the front-line troops, and there were also baggage troops in the rear...... Xue Chongxun was dispatched this time, and did not arrange any troops to attack other places, his consideration was to concentrate all his forces to strike a blatant blow to the main force of the Luoyang Army.

The iron armor is like a cloud, and the number of people on the opposite side is not less than that on this side, and the two sides gather for more than half a mile. Xue Chongxun saw tens of thousands of troops on a battlefield for the first time, but he didn't expect to be able to put such a big place. The war recorded in the history books of his heart often involves hundreds of thousands of horses, so how much space does it have to occupy? It is estimated that such a big battle will be defeated on the corner side, and the Chinese army has not known it for a long time, and it is impossible to see it at a glance.

Maybe this war can be used as a turning point in history, Xue Chongxun thought that he would have a thick and deep feeling when he came to the big event, but in fact, he didn't feel it at all at the moment, but he was a little excited to see such a big scene.

He used to think that before the big war, he should ride his horse and gallop between the armies and shout some exciting slogans, such as "defend the homeland" and "fight for XX", but this is a civil war...... Meaningless fighting with the same clan, for power, for wealth and survival, what is the good shouting? Besides, with so many people, if they were riding a horse and shouting at the same time, how many times would they have to shout back and forth, and how much time would it take?

At this time, Zhang Wulang, who was standing on the right, pointed to the east and said: "Xue Lang, please look, everyone in front of the enemy army is wearing armor and the formation is neat, and the elite of the Luoyang garrison must be arranged in front; The men and horses in the rear are not fully clothed and armored, and they don't even have enough weapons, or Ding Zhuang and the family are temporarily recruited. This kind of arrangement is heavy and light, and it is anticlimactic. Concentrate the cavalry of the right army in the south, and if the progress of the frontal battle is slow later, use the horse team to make a detour from the south to attack the enemy's flank and disrupt his position. ”

Xue Chongxun raised his hand and said, "This time it is under the full command of Wulang, you just let go of your hands, you don't have to say anything to me." After that, he shouted loudly to the below, "All the generals in this battle are dispatched by Zhang Wulang, the general of Jin Wuwei, and they must not be violated!" ”

Zhang Wulang was relieved and a little nervous when he heard this, and the granting of military power is also a responsibility. He took a long breath, and after a moment he took down a black flag and threw it down, and then shouted to the guards below: "Order, the general of the right army is in resignation, gather the cavalry of the right army on the south side, and wait for the order." ”

A knight dismounted, picked up the flag, repeated it aloud, and then grabbed the black flag and rode away.

After a while, the camp gradually stabilized, and the forward light cavalry retreated one after another. The battle formation became much quieter, like huge ironclad equipment, standing still on the ground, only the generals on horseback shuttled back and forth between the camps, ready for a while.

Zhang Wulang turned his head and glanced at Xue Chongxun, Xue Chongxun said, "You just have to give the order." ”

Zhang Wulang exhaled, raised his right hand and shouted, "The whole army is forward!" ”

"Knock knock knock ......" commanded seven long and five short drums from below the cart, and suddenly the leather drums around were beating, and the Black Sea-like crowd began to move forward slowly.

The sea of people on the opposite side is still motionless, the layout is similar to this side, and the tactics of the Tang Army on both sides are the same, but the Luoyang Army lacks horses, and it looks like it is full of infantry at a glance.

The army marched forward a hundred or two hundred paces, and soon saw arrows flying in front of them, and the light infantry on both sides began to attack with bows and arrows, but the distance was still far away, and most of the arrows landed on the snow in the middle. After a while, the torrent of steel stopped again, and the arrows stopped.

After a short pause, Zhang Wulang saw that the other party had no intention of attacking, so he ordered the Chinese army to take the lead in attacking.

…… A rider in iron armor waved the red order flag, ran from the gap between the regimental camps, and shouted: "General's order, the central guard of the left army, attack!" Will order ......"

The lieutenants drew their sabers one after another, pointed ahead and shouted, "Forward!" Shouts erupted in the camp, and the sound of the tide of people rose and fell, as if it was boiling in an instant.

The horizontal side of each battalion was fifty men, and the front was the light infantry, who shouted courage with the crowd and marched forward with the courage of the drums of the headquarters.

The battalions in front barely maintained a line as they advanced, but the transverse plane was too wide to be uniform, and the battalions were slightly uneven. When the army was one hundred and fifty paces away from the enemy, the front army fired a salvo with a crossbow as soon as the gongs and drums sounded, and only the sound of "bang bang" strings was heard, and countless arrows broke through the air, and hundreds of thousands of arrow feathers flew into the air together like raindrops.

After the light soldiers fired their crossbows, they buried their heads in the winding while walking, and some of their fingers were trembling, and they didn't dare to look up even if they lowered their heads, they were afraid. Because the opposite side is also a well-equipped Luoyang garrison, the crossbow range of the equipment is also more than 150 steps, and the combat method is comparable...... With the toes of their toes, they can think of arrows flying over in a moment, and they don't even have a piece of armor on their bodies, and only God knows if they will be hit by arrows.

Sure enough, in an instant, I heard the wind of arrows approaching, and thunderbolts crackled like hailstones. Screams rang out everywhere, people fell one after another, and the front line became more and more untidy, but it did not stop the pace of progress. After a while, the striker fired another volley, and after this shot, everyone walked back, passing back through the gap between the sword and shield hands, and seeing the rain of arrows flying, the sword and shield hands hurriedly raised their shields to cover the upper side.

The arrow did not have eyes, and poured it indiscriminately, and the sword and shield hand held a hook, a hammer, and a short-handled heavy knife in his right hand, and a group shield in his left hand, which could not cover the whole body, and the armor-piercing arrow pierced through the armor, and the arrow was rarely fatal by an arrow, and most of them could not die, only crying and screaming there.

There were arrows in the ranks, but the proportion of the whole army was not large, and they did not retreat, and the infantry ranks still maintained the pace of advance, and the drums covered up the crying, screaming, groaning, and groaning.

At this time, it was rare to see those who were elated in the eyes of death, and most of them were pale and trembling. Hugh Yan is a timid man, and it is already great courage to overcome his fear and move forward.

When the infantry marched to sixty paces, the crossbowmen collected their crossbows and fired their bows and arrows. In a few moments, as close as he reached twenty paces, he could even see the voices of the enemy soldiers on the other side.

"Kill! Kill ......" The team members shouted, thousands of troops shouted, and the light soldiers collected their bows and arrows, picked up their knives and sticks and ran over. The team at the back of the station was the fastest at this time, holding up the big swords, spears and sticks, and rushed to the front like a wall from the gap between the light soldiers, and the light infantry also followed and ran away.

The two sides fought each other in short combat, and the bright swords and guns shone with the delicate sunshine, blood and flesh flew sideways.

…… Xue Chongxun looked ahead from a distance in the Chinese army, and saw a chaotic mess where the sea of people met, running, fighting, and some people rolling and crawling, making a lot of trouble.

Zhang Wulang turned his head and said, "I can't repel the enemy army for the time being, and I'm going to change the horsemen." ”

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, I saw the infantry in front of me running back, and those who didn't know thought they had been defeated. But when the men ran back, they stopped and began to form a group, as if they were in a hurry; At the same time, I saw the horsemen in the rear rushing out and galloping away.

As if they had discussed with this side, the enemy army also retreated separately, and a new group of people immediately came to fight. On the battlefield, I only saw people and horses running, and it seemed to be chaotic, but in fact there was a way to advance and retreat, and those who should retreat should retreat and those who should advance should advance. The two sides played for a long time in rotation and continued. Xue Chongxun said in his heart, if it was a mess of all the brains, he would be tired after fighting for so long.

At this time, Zhang Wulang said: "The enemy has very few horsemen, just look at this attack of Jumping, if you can break the formation, you can win, if the battle is unfavorable, you have to let the right wing horsemen outflank the front and rear." ”

Xue Chongxun said: "If it doesn't work, can there be a follow-up?" ”

Zhang Wulang said embarrassedly: "I have to retreat and repair, and then make plans." ”

The two talked for a while, Zhang Wulang fell silent, quietly observed the situation on the battlefield for a while, and suddenly shouted: "Order, General Yin leads the right army horse team to attack from the right flank and attack its flank!" ”

Xue Chongxun looked to the south and could see many cavalry running, but it was too far away to see the situation clearly, and he didn't know how they fought. It was also very noisy in the ears, there was still fighting ahead, there were black corpses everywhere in the snow, and the messy battlefield was not as spectacular and beautiful as it had been at the beginning, as if it was in a market.

His hand was on the railing, just waiting, if he hadn't seen the fierce running of those people and horses in the distance, he didn't realize that it was the critical juncture of the big war, and he didn't feel nervous at all, and he was very helpless about his numbness Xue Chongxun.

After a long time, a horse galloped over, ran to the bottom and knelt down, and said: "General, the horse team of the right army rushed to the enemy formation and broke the rear wing of the enemy army. ”

"It worked." Zhang Wulang turned his head to Xue Chongxun and said, with a relaxed expression on his face, and then shouted: "Order, the left army and the right guard will attack with all their might!" ”

After a while, the crowd in the south also moved, and the battlefield became more and more lively. Xue Chongxun realized that he might be victorious, but the strange thing was that he still didn't see the gratifying scene like a tsunami and landslide, and the place in front of him was still as messy as before, and the dark sky in the south couldn't see it clearly.

However, he soon waited for a noticeable change, and saw the enemy army column in the southeast in the distance shaking and deforming, and gradually becoming chaotic. G
