A fast horse galloped from north to south like lightning, rushing towards the main formation of Liu Bianjun.

Standing under the banner of the Chinese army, Liu Wei looked at the cavalry that was galloping towards the Chinese army with an expressionless face.

On horseback, there was a scout carrying a Pu knife and wearing red armor, and when he arrived in front of the Chinese army, the scout inserted the Pu knife into the weapon lasso on the side of the war horse, turned over and jumped off the horse, and ran towards Liu Wei quickly.

"Your Highness, General Zhou Cang is leading the army to move closer to the main force, and the Xiliang Army of Zhang Ji's department is following closely behind, and it will come here in the afternoon at most!" Running in front of Liu Bian, the scout half-knelt on the ground, looked up at Liu Bian with his fists and said: "The Western Front has reported that the Hanoi army led by General Zhou Cheng has also crossed Qinshui and is approaching the army. ”

"Probe!" The scout who reported the news waved his hand, and when the scout left, Liu Wei raised his arm high and shouted to the two thousand cavalry who were already ready to stand by behind him: "Cavalry go!" ”

As soon as Liu Wei's shout fell, Yang Feng, who led the cavalry, shook off the reins and shouted to the cavalry behind him: "The cavalry set off with me!" ”

Two thousand cavalry followed closely behind Yang Feng, rushed out of the Chinese army, and ran in a northeast direction.

Nearly 10,000 horses' hooves stepped on the almost barren loess, stirring up the dry loess, and a cloud of smoke and dust drifted away in an instant, forming a thick earthy yellow dust curtain in front of the army.

When the cavalry gradually moved away, and the dust curtain raised by the horses' hooves became farther and farther away, Liu Wei said to Zhao Yun and Dian Wei beside him: "You two will immediately set up a formation, just wait for Zhang Ji to come." ”

"No!" Zhao Yun and Dian Wei responded with their fists, and Dian Wei led the Modao Battalion, which evolved from the spear array, and walked straight towards the front of the Chinese army.

The spear formation was originally the most neat array in Liu Bian's army, and it also attached the most importance to the officers and soldiers walking and coordinating operations.

Dian Wei led the Mo knife formation to stride forward, thousands of officers and soldiers holding Mo knives in both hands walked in unison on the grassless yellow earth, their footsteps were neat as if there was only one giant walking on the boundless wilderness, one by one stepping on the cracked and hard loess, making a "boom" muffled sound, and the dust raised was not even smaller than the smoke and dust that the cavalry stepped on when they left.

Behind each Mo sword soldier was a small round shield. The Mo knife is different from the spear, although the spear is long and heavy, it is not very heavy, but each Mo knife is full of thirty or fifty catties, even if it is a warrior who has experienced a hundred battles, it is impossible to wield the Mo knife in one hand and hold a shield in the other hand.

In addition to the main weapon, it is equipped with shields and long swords, which is the standard equipment configuration of all officers and soldiers of Liu Bianjun. Even before the rationing of equipment, some people had already said that it was almost useless for the Mo Dao Array to be equipped with these two weapons, but Liu Wei still insisted on issuing each soldier with a long sword and shield as auxiliary weapons.

After advancing a full sixty or seventy steps, the Mo Dao Formation stopped, and a long pole Mo Dao pointed straight ahead, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

While the Mo Dao Formation was advancing, Zhao Yun also beckoned to the Pu Dao Battalion, shook the reins, and led the Pu Dao Battalion to advance towards the flank of the Modao Formation.

When the two heavy infantry teams were in large formation, Liu Wei turned his head again, looked at Hu Cai who was following him, and said to him: "This place is barren, and the officers and soldiers cannot accommodate themselves, and they cannot set up an ambush in advance. However, fighting in such terrain is not completely unprofitable. Zhang Ji led the army to come, and seeing that the terrain was simple, he must have advanced carelessly! You have to remember that whether it was Yang Feng's cavalry or Zhao Yun and Dian Wei's heavy infantry, they were all in this battle to cover the strong crossbow battalion. The main task of the strong crossbow battalion is to attack the enemy's central army, and be sure to defeat Zhang Ji in one battle! ”

"The last general understands!" Hu Cai clasped his hands into fists, answered, and then shouted to the officers and soldiers of the crossbow battalion: "Soldiers, advance with this general, this battle will definitely take that Jiren's head!" ”

"Roar!" As soon as Hu Cai's words fell, thousands of strong crossbowmen raised their crossbows in their hands, shouted in unison, lined up in a neat formation, and followed Hu Cai to the rear of the Modao array.

Under the banner of the Chinese army, Liu Wei and more than 100 soldiers who rode war horses to defend him stood straight, looking at the three large formations that had advanced to dozens of paces away.

From a distance, three large red arrays were connected into a patch, like a raging fire burning in an open field.

The officers and soldiers who formed the phalanx stopped, and the smoke and dust surrounding them gradually dissipated.

Looking at the three large formations of the entire equipment battle, Liu Wei frowned slightly.

There is a wilderness near Wude, there is nowhere to preset an ambush, and behind the army is Qinshui, if this battle starts, it must be an extremely tragic decisive battle.

"Your Highness!" Lined up in formation, waiting for the arrival of the Xiliang army, a scout rode a war horse and rushed towards the Chinese army, and when Liu Wei approached, the scout jumped off his horse, half-knelt on the ground and clenched his fists and said: "The Hanoi army led by General Zhou Cheng has crossed the Qinshui and is rushing to this place. ”

Hearing that Zhou Cheng's Hanoi army had arrived, Liu Wei waved his hand at the scout and said, "Explore again!" Wait until General Zhou travels within five miles, and then report back! ”

"No!" The scout answered, got up and returned to his horse, climbed on his horse, raised his whip, and galloped away toward the west.

"Report!" As soon as the scouts from the west left, another scout came from the northeast and rode a fast horse, and another scout approached Liu Wei and dismounted and reported: "Your Highness, General Zhou Cang is leading the vanguard to move closer to the Chinese army. General Yang Feng's cavalry passed by the Xiliang Army, Zhang Ji sent 5,000 cavalry to pursue General Yang, and there were not many cavalry left in the Xiliang Army! ”

"Good!" Hearing that there were not many cavalry left in the Xiliang Army, Liu Wei suddenly showed a touch of joy on his face, and said to the scout: "If you probe again, you must find out where Yang Feng led the Xiliang cavalry!" ”

"No!" The scout clenched his fists in response, mounted his horse, and whipped his whip to the northeast.

More than 15,000 officers and soldiers stood on the open field, quietly waiting for the approaching Xiliang Army.

"Your Highness, the Hanoi army has arrived five miles away!" Standing under the banner of the Chinese army marshal, Liu Wei was looking at a team in the northeast that was rapidly advancing towards the Chinese army, and a scout rode his horse to his approach, jumped off the horse and hugged his fists and said.

Turning his head to look to the west, Liu Wei saw an army in light blue military uniforms advancing towards him.

"Someone!" Seeing the Hanoi army that was now in the west, Liu Wei instructed one of his own soldiers behind him: "Order Hanoi General Zhou Cheng to lead the army to line up on the west side of the main army formation, and wait until Zhang Ji comes to cover the killing from the side!" ”

"Order!" One of his soldiers responded with a fist in his fist, and galloped in the direction in which the Hanoi army appeared.

The 5,000 officers and soldiers led by Zhou Cang marched very fast, and when the 5,000 officers and soldiers who were the vanguard were about to approach the Chinese army, Liu Wei saw that far behind them, a black-clad Xiliang army appeared.

"The whole army is on alert, ready to fight!" Liu Wei raised his hand and made a gesture to the officer behind him, who shouted at the top of his voice and waved the order flag.

The direction of the appearance of the Xiliang Army has been determined, and the Modao Battalion, which has been waiting in formation, turned around in unison, held the Modao, and adjusted the orientation of the array.

"Your Highness!" Leading 5,000 officers and soldiers to the vicinity of the Chinese army, Zhou Cang and Han Xian rode towards Liu Wei, Zhou Cang hugged his fists and said to him: "The two of us found the Xiliang Army in the Xiuwu area, and were about to start a station with it, and they were summoned by His Royal Highness, and hurried back to ......."

"The vanguard of this battle is the rear army!" Looking at Zhou Cang and Han Xian in front of them, Liu Wei said to them: "At present, the Xiliang army should also have no cavalry, and when the strong crossbow battalion attacks Zhang Jizhong's army, you will lead the cavalry to take advantage of the situation to rush and kill, and be sure to repel Zhang Ji before sunset." ”

Previously, Yang Feng led 2,000 cavalry to rush to Xiuwu, and it was precisely the troops of Zhou Cang and Han Xian who passed by, and the two already knew that the main force had no cavalry, and now the only cavalry they could rely on was a thousand iron cavalry under their command.

The 30,000 Xiliang army led by Zhang Ji is getting closer and closer, and Liu Wei's side, including the Hanoi army that came to reinforce it, all the participating armies have also been counted.

Only a mile away from Liu Bianjun, Zhang Ji, who was at the forefront on horseback, raised his arm to stop the advance of the team, and the two armies of equal numbers faced each other from a distance.

Zhang Ji, who led this Xiliang army, was a brave general under Dong Zhuo who was as famous as Hu Zhen.

This person is about forty years old, born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and there is a clear scar on the right cheek, which should be left by previous battles.

Wearing a suit of gold scale armor and riding a purebred Xiliang horse with a black body, although the two armies were far apart, Liu Wei could still feel that Zhang Ji was definitely a fierce general.

"All march!" After looking at Liu Bianjun, who had already lined up in the distance, for a while, Zhang Ji raised the big knife in his hand, held the knife in one hand, pointed at Liu Bianjun's camp with the hilt, and shouted to the Xiliang army behind him.

An officer of the Xiliang Army waved a small flag in his hand, conveying Zhang Ji's order in the language of the flag.

Unlike Liu Bianjun's division of troops, Zhang Ji's Xiliang Army only listed a separate large formation after receiving the order.

With heavy infantry armed with large shields and short spears in front and longbowmen carrying longbows behind, the Xiliang army lined up in a neat line and advanced towards Liu Wei's military formation.

"Meet the enemy!" When the Xiliang Army began to advance slowly, with Dian Wei's shout, the officers and soldiers of the Mo Dao Formation standing at the front let out a neat shout, and they all held the Mo Dao flat, and the blade pointed directly at the oncoming Zhang Jijun array.

"Defense!" As soon as the Mo Dao Formation pointed the big sword at the Xiliang Army Great Array, Zhao Yun, who led the Pu Dao Battalion, raised his arm and shouted.

Thousands of Pu Dao soldiers held a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, and quickly ran to the front of the Mo Dao Array, and set up a solid shield wall in front of the Mo Dao Array.

The strong crossbowmen led by Hu Cai also put their crossbow arrows on the machine springs at this time, and aimed at the Xiliang army that was slowly advancing with the strong crossbows.

"All armed, cavalry ready to charge!" Liu Bianjun's three large formations were already in a defensive posture, and Zhou Cheng, who came to reinforce him, also pointed the spear in his hand straight to the sky and shouted to the Hanoi army behind him.

More than 2,000 Hanoi cavalry shouted in unison, pointed forward the cavalry short spears in their hands, and lined up in a line, waiting for the upcoming battle.

The infantry of the Hanoi Army who followed behind the cavalry also checked their equipment one after another, making the most preparations before the battle.
