In the early morning of the next day, the two sides lined up outside the city of Yuyang to face the enemy.

Since the Qianjun Dynasty crossed to the south and the north completely collapsed, it has been a long time since this kind of decisive battle has been written.

Yuwen Ji looked at the military formation of Southern Qi from afar, and said with emotion: "I haven't had this kind of formation for a long time, and now the battle is either an ambush or a siege, and large-scale battles on the plains are really rare." ”

Then Yuwen and Zongma took a few steps forward, carefully observed the military formation of Nanqi, and suddenly said suspiciously: "Why are Nanqi all infantry?" ”

At this time, the general hurriedly stepped forward and said: "There are not many war horses in the Southern Dynasties, most of them have been requisitioned by Wei Ran, so the infantry is the mainstay, and most of the Yizhou army led by Wang Xian are foot soldiers, which has already been discovered." ”

At this time, the Southern Qi side had completed the formation, the chariots were in formation, the shield soldiers were in front, the spearmen were in the back, and the archers were in the spears and behind, a very traditional military formation.

Yuwen Ji saw the military array listed by Nanqi, nodded and said: "It seems that Wang Xian is planning to use chariots to block our cavalry, but our army has heavy armored cavalry, which is powerful enough to crush the chariot array. ”

Soon it was time for the decisive battle agreed by the two sides, and the Southern Qi army could only temporarily defend passively because of the lack of cavalry

Yuwenji obviously knew this, although the heavy cavalry was quite powerful, it was not suitable for long-term combat, so as soon as the appointed time came, Yuwenji ordered the cavalry to attack.

Sure enough, everything was as Wei Ran expected, the heavy cavalry was in front, the light cavalry was behind, and Yuwen He was ready to rely on the impact of the cavalry to disperse the military formation of the Qi army.

Looking at the cavalry troops rushing towards the Southern Qi army formation, Yu Wenzhi couldn't help rubbing his hands excitedly and said: "Wang Xian is really careless, without cavalry, he has to follow the old man's war book to fight a decisive battle, not to kill himself." ”

At this moment, the general immediately came up and was huge: "Yes, why do you have to force a decisive battle when you have no chance of winning?" When the general said this, the last general also felt quite strange, did Wang Xian have any tricks. ”

Yuwen Ji also reacted at this time, and immediately stared at the Southern Qi army array, and at this moment, an unexpected situation happened.

The heavy cavalry that was at the forefront of the attack was close enough to see the expressions on the faces of the Southern Qi soldiers, but they didn't see any panic on their faces, but only saw playful eyes.

Just when the cavalry in front was puzzled, he suddenly felt that his body was empty, and he fell down in an instant, at this time the earth seemed to tremble, and the trench dug by the Southern Qi army overnight collapsed under the pressure of the war horse at this time, and the heavy cavalry led by him all fell into the trench.

Seeing this, the cavalry in the rear hurriedly reined in their horses' heads, but many cavalry also fell into the trench, and the huge weight crushed all the people and horses under the trench to death.

The light cavalry couldn't stop at all at this time, and they crashed into the war horses in front of them, and suddenly the Western Qin cavalry corps turned on their backs and suffered heavy losses.

Yuwen Ji saw that his cavalry corps had suffered heavy losses in the rear, and immediately scolded: "This Wang Xian is so cunning that he dug a trench in advance. I'm mad too! ”

Yuwen then learned that the location of the trench was not far in front of the Southern Qi army, so he keenly judged that the Southern Qi had set up a trench here to block the cavalry, and immediately ordered the infantry phalanx to advance forward, and the remaining combatable cavalry regrouped and prepared to outflank from both sides.

The Western Qin infantry phalanx slowly advanced, and when Wang Xian saw this, he also withdrew the chariot, and immediately ordered the infantry phalanx to move forward as well.

Du Fusang immediately dissuaded: "General Wang, don't do this, now if the Qin army wants to advance, let it advance, we have chariots in formation, and there are crossbowmen in the rear, which is enough to hold down the formation." ”

Wang Xian rarely listened to Du Fusang's words at this time, while ordering the soldiers to put the planks on the trench, and the infantry to cross the trench, he said to Du Fusang: "Husband, if you say that the plain will be a decisive battle, the order of the king of Qin cannot be faked, but the soldier also has the dignity of a soldier." ”

Yuwen Ji saw that Wang Xian gave up the chariot formation and was about to confront him head-on, and he couldn't help but say: "This Wang Xian is still quite backbone, knowing that our army's cavalry phalanx was defeated, and the infantry chose to fight head-on, and he is still a character." ”

The two sides began to fight on the plain, with 20,000 Qi troops versus 40,000 Qin soldiers, and the battle gradually fell into anxiety.

The Qin army's war drums were fierce and their morale was high, and they gradually overwhelmed the Qi army on the battlefield.

The Qi army was in decline, and Wang Xian stepped forward at this time and shouted: "The great husband's achievements are at this time, what are you afraid of!" ”

So personally led the guards into the battle, Wang Xian was extremely brave at the moment, holding a spear to fight back and forth in the formation, and then ordered the guards to raise the flag, Wang Xian personally opened the way, the battle flag fluttered behind Wang Xian, seeing that the battle flag did not fall in the enemy formation for a long time, the soldiers of the Qi army seemed to see the backbone, so the army was greatly invigorated, sacrificing their lives to attack, and the Southern Qi army, which had a declining momentum, suddenly reversed the tide of the battle and began to suppress the Qin army.

Seeing this, Yuwen and knew that the morale was recaptured by Wang Xian, but at this time, the attention of the Southern Qi army was all focused on the eyes, Yuwen and then waved the flag, and the previous cavalry troops, after collecting the remnants, according to Yuwen Ji's order, began to rush to kill the Southern Qi army from the left and right.

The Southern Qi army really lost the protection of the chariot, and it was really in chaos, and it began to retreat one after another.

At this time, Wang Xian looked at the sky, the time was almost noon, Wang Xian knew that he could not retreat, so he shouted sharply: "Hold on for a moment, our army will win!" ”

Then Wang Xian went to the cavalry general of the Qin army, and the Qin general saw Wang Xian coming to him, and was about to raise his knife to fight, but Wang Xian obviously did not intend to have a heads-up with him, only to see Wang Xian use the long knife in his hand to separate the knife in the hand of the Qin general, and his horse hit the war horse under the crotch of the Qin general.

Suddenly, people turned on their horses, and both sides fell to the ground, with mental calculations or unintentional, Wang Xian had already turned over and jumped off the horse at the moment of impact, and after landing, he rolled over, and immediately swung his knife and slashed at the generals of the Qin army.

Poor this Qin general, who was still stunned by the horse, and before he could react, he saw a long knife in front of him, and immediately blood splattered in all directions, and Qin was beheaded by Wang Xian.

Wang Xian's head was still high in the air, and shouted: "General Qin is dead, brothers kill!" ”

The cavalry of the Qin army, which had lost their command, had to fight on their own, and soon fell into the sea of infantry.

However, the decline of the Southern Qi army was already unavoidable, although Wang Xian continued to breathe two breaths, but at this time both sides were exhausted, Yuwen saw that the time was ripe, so he planned to send the last three thousand life forces.

Yuwen Ji had already advanced to the front line at this moment, and after careful analysis, he waved his hand and signaled the reserves to attack.

Sure enough, after the addition of the reserves, the Southern Qi army was defeated faster, and it had retreated to the place where the original formation was formed, and the chariots that remained in place before this time became an obstacle to the retreat of the Southern Qi army.

Wang Xian wiped the blood on his face and muttered, "It's almost time." ”

Du Fusang had been killed and scattered by the chaotic army at this time, and under the protection of the soldiers, he hid behind the chariot array, looked at the sky, and looked at the direction of Yuwen Ji: "It's almost time for King Qin to move." ”

Just when Yuwen He was about to enjoy the fruits of victory, he suddenly felt the feeling that the ground was shaking and the mountains were shaking, and Yuwen He, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, reacted immediately, it was a cavalry, and there were quite a few of them.

Just when Yuwen He was still thinking, suddenly thousands of cavalry attacked from the left and right sides, Yuwen and the army were far away at this time, and there were only a thousand guards around, Yuwen He suddenly panicked, and hurriedly asked the Xuan Hou Army to come to the rescue.

But at this time, the rear army pursued and killed the Qi army, and after getting the military order, there was no time to adjust the formation, and only a few generals led hundreds of people back to aid Yuwenji.

Yuwen Ji quickly stabilized his mind and ordered the soldiers to be ready for battle, and he was taking up arms and preparing to fight the enemy.

But when he saw the battle flag of the cavalry, Yu Wenji couldn't help but exclaim: "Wei Ran! ”

The name of Wei Ran can be said to be resounding in the north and south dynasties, not afraid of Shanhu and Heng people, but afraid of Wei Hu in the south of the Yangtze River. It is a sentence that has been circulated in the Northern Qin Army in recent years.

After sacrificing many people, Wei Ran finally waited for Yuwen and the army around him to do their best, and the cavalry circled around the distance overnight, and then advanced in batches after the battle began, hiding near the battlefield.

At this time, all the parties attacked, although Yuwen Ji's personal guards resisted desperately, but Wei Ran had too many cavalry, and they were all the elite of the Tianxiong army, and they were soon killed through a road.

Wei Ran took the lead, the spear went straight to Yuwen Ji, Yuwen and waved his knife to resist, Wei Ran stabbed out with a spear, and Yuwen and the long knife intercepted Wei Ran's offensive from the bottom up.

Wei Ran then turned the spear around behind him, and stabbed Yuwen and his waist with his left hand, Yuwen and hurriedly made the knife down to intercept it, and after being able to stop it, Wei Ran's spear swept directly, Yuwen and his reaction was not in a hurry at this time, and he was swept off the horse on the spot.

Yuwen He was about to get up, when he suddenly saw that the spear had reached his throat, Yuwen He shouted helplessly: "Wei Ran, you despicable child, you are so shameless, you say that you are going to fight a decisive battle, whether you are digging a trench or engaging in a sneak attack, can you still be regarded as Wei Zhi's son." ”

Wei Ran didn't care: "The king is defeated, someone came to tie him up, this is Yu Wenzhi's own brother, don't be lazy." ”

Then Wei Ran shouted: "Yuwen He has been captured, and those who put down their arms in the Qin army will not be killed!"

Immediately, people cut down Yuwen Ji's handsome banner, and the soldiers of the Qin army were fighting at this time, Wei Ran saw this, and transferred two thousand cavalry to start charging the Qin army from behind.

Seeing this kind of bulldozer-like way of harvesting human lives, Yuwen Ji was also like a knife, at this time the Qin army finally reacted, there was actually an enemy behind him, and the generals saw that Yuwen and Shuai Qi had fallen, and they thought that Yuwen and he had been killed, and the Qin army had no fighting spirit at this time.

The Qi army, which had been almost beaten to the city of Hanging Gourd, saw that the Qin army suddenly had no offensive, so under the drums of war, began to counterattack, the Qin army lost ground and retreated, and the army was scattered.

Wei Ran returned to the Hanging Gourd City and asked Yuwen He to be tied to the pillar, although Yuwen He was captured, he was still not convinced, and shouted: "Wei Ran, since you are here in person, why do you still hide your head and show your tail and not fight with me openly." ”

Wei Ran didn't pay attention to him, but just asked him to count the number of people, in this battle, Nanqi fought 20,000 people, killed more than 6,000 people, and injured more than 10,000 people.

More than 13,000 Northern Qin troops were beheaded, more than 8,000 were captured, and the remaining Western Qin soldiers fled.

Wei Ran was obviously not satisfied with this result: "At the last moment, the Qin army was sandwiched before and after, why could so many people still run. ”

Wang Xian was injured during the battle, and his arm was also painted, and he said aggrievedly: "What the King of Qin said is light, our army has no cavalry, and after a fierce battle for half a day, the Qin soldiers are really powerless to chase if they want to escape." ”

Wei Ran thought about it carefully, and sure enough, he didn't ask again, just looked at Yuwen Ji and said, "General Yuwen, compared to your brother Yuwen Zhi, isn't it a little bit worse, is there no one in this Western Qin?" Leave you in Wancheng? ”

Hearing Wei Ran's mouth cannon attack, Yuwen He was ashamed, but more angry, but at this moment, he was bound by the rope and couldn't move, so he could only spit out a mouthful of saliva and scolded: "If it weren't for your sneak attack, how would I have been defeated here?" ”

Wei Ran asked rhetorically: "You have cavalry, and the infantry strength is twice that of General Wang, and you have obtained fighters by virtue of numerical superiority, what can you be proud of?" This king has only used a small trick to defeat your army of 50,000, why are you not convinced? ”

Yuwen and he was speechless, but at this time, he could only stomp his feet.

Wei Ran then waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to loosen Yuwen and let him sit down and drink

Yuwen and was loosely tied, but he didn't know what to do for a while, and when he was tied up, he scolded if he wanted to, but now he was loosened and let him feast and drink, which made Yuwen and he don't know what to do for a while.

"Although this king uses soldiers to enter the gods."

Wang Xian couldn't help but cough when he heard this, meaning King Qin, do you still want to face when you say this? It is clearly a cunning use of soldiers.

Wei Ran glared at Wang Xian dissatisfied, and then said: "Although this king uses soldiers like a god, and there are frequent treacherous soldiers on the battlefield, he is also a person with clear grievances, your grandfather Yu Wenshu saved a lot of people in Chang'an, and he can be regarded as a loyal person, I will not kill Zhongliang in vain, after the general drinks this wine, he can leave on his own, and this king will never stop him." ”

As soon as these words came out, Yuwen Ji was very surprised, and he asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will make a comeback?" ”

Wei Ran laughed after hearing this, and said: "The general of the defeated army, his tone is not small, if I am afraid, I will not let you go." This king has not killed prisoners for many years, you can tell Yuan Shan when you go back, now that you are in war in the north, I only need to hang the land of Hefei, Pengcheng, and now you should think more about dealing with the Turks, but I got the news, Min Guan plans to let Yuan Frame marry the daughter of the Turkic Khan Ashina Da Luo Ben as the queen, how will you still defend the Guanzhong region at that time? ”

When Yuwen Ji heard this, he couldn't care about anything else at this time, and hurriedly said to Wei Ran: "Can King Qin take this seriously? Yuan Frame is only ten years old, how to marry a wife. ”

"In the troubled times, women are just victims of the struggle for power, Yuan Frame is young, if Ashina Da Luo marries his daughter to Yuan Frame, ignorant children, it is easy to be misled, although I don't like Yuan Shan, but I don't want to see one day, the Han people become vassals of the Turks, you can quickly inform Yuan Shan, so that he can find a way to stop this."

After sending Yuwen away, Wang Xian asked Wei Ran: "King, the marriage is a matter of the two Qins in the north. Why did the king favor Yuanshan? ”

Wei Ran just sighed and said: "The population of Guannai is withering, if Min Guan and the Turks form an alliance, then the Turkic troops can attack Yuanshan from Liangzhou Sizhou, Yuanshan is categorically difficult to resist, at that time, a complete north, not we can easily recover, if Yuanshan and the Turks form an alliance, Min Guan can rely on the population and strength to resist, the longer they hold out, the more beneficial it will be to our dynasty." ”
