At this time, Southern Qi and Eastern Qin had already sent troops outside Heyang City to set up formations.

After Wei Ran stopped attacking the southern city of Heyang, he gathered the army, except for Lei Duoer, who camped far away from Heyang, and more than 40,000 people in Wei Ran's hands gathered outside Heyang City.

Wei Ran said in the tent: "The decisive battle is tomorrow, I will come from afar, and the time to make meritorious achievements is in front of us, if we defeat the Qin soldiers in one fell swoop, we can recover Luoyang, and then control the land of Henan." ”

The general in the army asked at this time: "King Qin, the enemy is outnumbered, besides, our army has attacked Heyang in recent days, the men and horses are tired, and tomorrow's battle is quite unfavorable to our army. ”

Wei Ran glanced at Yu Xiu, this person is a new disciple of the Han family, and he is also quite talented and learned on weekdays, Wei Ran appreciates it very much, so he also brought it out on this expedition, which can be regarded as cultivating this person's ability.

Wei Ran did not blame him for questioning his decision, but asked, "According to your words, what should I do?" ”

Yu Xiu said boldly: "Our strategic purpose itself is to involve the defenders of Luoyang, now the Western Qin is attacking Puzhou and Tongguan with the strength of the whole country, we will involve the Luoyang troops, and the Western Qin can achieve their own goals, and Luoyang City is high and deep, although our army occupies Kim Yong City, but attacking Luoyang is also quite unfavorable, it is better to take this opportunity to go all the way to the east, take the opportunity to attack Qingzhou, the land of Qingzhou is close to Huaibei, after occupying Songcheng, you can connect with our mainland of the dynasty, and you can also contain Luoyang's army." ”

It turned out that Yu Xiu felt that since the Luoyang army had been attracted over, the Southern Qi army only needed to move in the direction of Qingzhou, and the Luoyang army would definitely pursue, and the longer the pursuit lasted, the more time there would be to care about the Tongguan war, and the Southern Qi could reduce casualties and achieve strategic goals, which was the best of both worlds.

But Wei Ran obviously thought more far-reaching, and said to Xiu: "Our army crossed Luoyang and attacked Heyang, and its own grain route was exposed to the Luoyang defenders. I learned that this time it was Min Shiyuan who personally led the troops, it can be seen that there is no one in Luoyang City, this is a great opportunity to destroy the living force of Eastern Qin, if this battle is won, not only has a chance to capture Luoyang, but also can compress Eastern Qin in Hebei, which is extremely beneficial to the development of our dynasty. ”

Yu Xiu knew that Wei Ran was on the rise at the moment, and he was extremely confident in his military ability, thinking that Min Shiyuan was definitely not his opponent, so he dared to be so big.

But Wei Ran really felt that this time Min Shiyuan personally led the troops, it was a great opportunity to get rid of this person, if Min Shiyuan died, the Eastern Qin group of dragons would have no leader, and they could only push Min Shichuan's waste dim sum to the top position.

On the second day, the armies of Southern Qi and Eastern Qin set up a formation outside Heyang City, intending to start a decisive battle.

According to Feng Bizhi's suggestion, Dong Qin led the Chinese army, and Feng Bi and Shen Wenxiu each led two armies.

Min Shiyuan also accepted Hu Hua's suggestion, and at the high point on the mountain behind the military formation, many members of the battlefield sightseeing group were released, most of whom were Chinese and nobles and relatives of the Yuan clan.

According to Hu Hua, tomorrow's battle is very important, and our army has a great chance of winning, so why not let these princes and nobles watch our army fight and know the power of Jin Gongtian.

Min Shiyuan was particularly puzzled, how could the battlefield be child's play, how could it be so big, but Hu Hua said emphatically: "Don't worry, the position of the Duke of Jin is the rear of our army where the battle is engaged, and the princes and nobles are absolutely safe, if the Duke of Jin wants to take this opportunity to go further, they need to see it with their own eyes." ”

Min Shiyuan thought so, anyway, the nobles of the Yuan clan were not from their Min clan, as long as Emperor Yuan Frame did not have an accident, and then ordered Hu Hua to arrange this matter.

Wei Ran lined up in front at this time, looking at the Eastern Qin troops directly opposite, the army was neat, and the order was forbidden, and suddenly he sighed: "Min Shiyuan still has some ability to lead the troops." ”

In fact, Min Shiyuan's level of leading troops has always been ignored, and the aura of Min Guan's son conceals his own outstanding ability, and he can be valued by Min Guan and exclude his eldest son from the list of heirs without hesitation, Min Shiyuan has more than just brains.

When he followed Zhao Zhao to quell the Liangzhou Rebellion, he made many miraculous achievements, but with the sudden death of Zhao Zhao, no one can confirm his contributions, and he himself does not like to talk about people, so he did not mention it much.

Min Shiyuan also looked at the Qi army formation in the distance, and he found that the most hung in the Southern Qi army formation was not the Qi army battle flag, but Wei Ran's battle flag, and he also sighed at the moment: "It is said that the Southern Qi soldiers only know Wei but do not know the emperor, and now it seems that what he said is true." ”

The sun began to shine on the faces of every soldier, and the faces of the soldiers of the Southern Qi were resolute and resolute, but the faces of the soldiers of the Eastern Qin were also without fear, after all, at this moment, the Southern Qi was the invader, and the soldiers of the Eastern Qin Dynasty defended their homes and the country, and naturally the fighting spirit was even greater.

With the beating of war drums, the battle of Heyang between Southern Qi and Eastern Qin officially kicked off.

Wei Ran took the initiative to attack and forcibly attacked Min Shiyuan's Chinese army, and at the same time let Yu Xiu lead 2,000 cavalry to make a detour to the south of the army and attack the Eastern Qin army formation from the flank, intending to kill Min Shiyuan by surprise.

However, the eastern formation of Eastern Qin was personally commanded by Feng Bi, and the reason why he asked to command the eastern formation was because the two sides relied on the Yellow River to form a formation, and it was absolutely impossible for the Southern Qi army to attack from the west, and he only needed to protect the flanks to ensure that the formation was safe.

Yu Xiu's behavior of attacking the Eastern Qin army formation from the flank had long been seen through by Feng Bi, and he did not mess up at all, and ordered a thousand cavalry to go to stop Yu Xiu.

Yu Xiu is not a fierce general after all, more like a Confucian general, Wei Ran's order to him is to harass the Eastern Qin army array, when the Eastern Qin is prepared, Yu Xiu's impact is pale and weak.

Although the cavalry of the Southern Qi was quite brave, the Eastern Qin not only had cavalry, but also archers pressed the formation in the rear, and after several shocks, Yu Xiu was defeated and returned, and the troops returned to the Southern Qi formation.

In the first attempt, the Southern Qi lost more than 1,000 cavalry, and the Eastern Qin won.

After Wei Ran learned of the situation, he didn't blame Yu Xiu, the surprise attack itself was a strange word, since it was recognized, then it was natural for the defeat to be normal.

After Min Shiyuan learned that the raid of the Southern Qi cavalry was repelled by Feng Bi, his spirit couldn't help but be lifted, and he was more confident in the next battle.

At this time, the main force of the Chinese army was fighting the battlefield, and the soldiers of the Southern Qi relied on strong execution and teamwork, although they were inferior in numbers, but they always suppressed the military formation of the Eastern Qin.

Under the powerful offensive of Southern Qi, the army formation of Eastern Qin was not dissolved, but it was also gradually retreating.

Min Shiyuan noticed that his army was retreating, and he was also shocked at the moment, he knew that he urgently needed to boost morale at this time, otherwise if the battle continued like this, the Chinese army would collapse.

Sikong Hu Hua was also keenly aware of this, so he immediately asked Li Ke to lead 3,000 elite people to counterattack the Southern Qi army formation.

Since Li Ke came to Luoyang with Min Shiyuan, although he is a general of Zhenguo, he has not directly participated in the war, and he naturally breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Ke felt that he was also the governor of Lianghuai and the governor of the state in the past, although he had not won any big battles, but he also had a lot of prestige in the army, and he was actually compared to a group of yellow-mouthed children, and a few people knew about the shame.

Li Ke was suddenly appointed this time, and his joy was overflowing, Hu Hua was also an old friend of Li Ke's father, Li Tainai, and specially instructed: "General Li is not allowed to lose in this battle, if you win, you can naturally change your opinion and image of you in front of the Duke of Jin and Your Majesty, and I will let Your Majesty reuse you, if you lose, then I will go to the great Qin event." ”

Li Ke was grateful for this, and immediately promised to turn the tide of the battle, and then led 3,000 elites out of the main formation, directly approaching the Southern Qi Chinese army.

The Eastern Qin army array, which could no longer be supported, gradually gained a firm foothold with the addition of Li Ke's new force.

Li Ke immediately led the army to charge the Southern Qi army formation, and the Southern Qi army was instantly scattered by the sudden Eastern Qin cavalry, and the general order was not passed, and the soldiers suddenly fell into chaos.

Li Ke seized the opportunity, rushed into the Southern Qi army formation, and went all the way to the west, but no one could stop him in an instant, allowing Li Ke to kill through the Southern Qi army from the Chinese army, and the Southern Qi soldiers did not dare to approach.

The Eastern Qin army seized the opportunity to press forward in formation, and the Southern Qi army couldn't stop retreating, especially the left army, which was originally under great pressure from Feng Bi, and completely collapsed after being killed by Li Ke.

The generals could not prevent the collapse of their troops, but were about to leave the battlefield by their troops, and the situation became very critical in an instant.

After Wei Ran found out about this, he couldn't sit still immediately, before the Southern Qi army was about to win, but now the situation has taken a turn for the worse, and the army is actually about to be defeated.

When he learned that it was caused by Li Ke's attack on the Southern Qi army, Wei Ran couldn't help but be dumbfounded, but he immediately realized what kind of person his father Wei Zhi was, if Li Ke really had no ability, how could he rest assured that he would take on the heavy responsibility and trust him so much.

Wei Zhinai is a real hero, he will never be cronyistic, Li Ke, as a general in commanding the army, is naturally incompetent, but if he is a general who obeys orders, he is also a generation of Tianjiao.

Wei Ran also knew at this time that the backhand he had arranged could come in handy, so he immediately gave an order to let Lei Duoer, who was repairing in the distance, lead the army to join the battle.

At this time, Lei Duoer took 20,000 people outside the southern city of Heyang and waited for Wei Ran's summons, and after receiving the general's order, he immediately led the army to approach the battlefield of Heyang.

At this time, the flanks of the Southern Qi had been completely dispersed, and the Eastern Qin army was bravely taking the lead at this time, and soon disconnected from the Chinese army, as if the Southern Qi army in front of it was no longer a jackal, tiger and leopard, but a weak sheep.

At this moment of great difficulty, Lei Duoer's troops immediately attacked from the flank, and swept Feng Bi's left army between the Southern Qi main formation and his own army formation.

Facing the Southern Qi army that suddenly joined the battle, Feng Bi was also stunned, he didn't expect that in such a decisive situation, Wei Ran would still retain so many new forces.

You must know that in such a decisive battle, if the Southern Qi is directly dispersed, it will be useless to have more new forces, at most it can be used to cover Wei Ran's retreat, but Wei Ran's troops are really so big.

However, Feng Bi was also worthy of being a general who was highly recommended by Shen Wenxiu, and he did not panic for too long, but quickly gathered his troops and drove the scattered flank army of Southern Qi to the direction of Lei Duoer's military formation, intending to use the scattered Southern Qi soldiers to influence Lei Duoer's Southern Qi soldiers.

Sure enough, the effect was immediate, and Lei Duoer's troops saw the Southern Qi rout rushing towards them, and thought that the front line had been defeated, so everyone couldn't help but want to retreat.

At this time, Lei Duoer drew the sword in his hand, cut down a soldier who wanted to escape, and shouted: "The handsome flag of King Qin is still flying, the soldiers are still fighting bloodily, hope is pinned on us, raise soldiers for a thousand days, use soldiers for a while, King Qin does not let everyone participate in the battle for the first time, just for this moment, there is no longer a fight, but I want to taste that my sword is not sharp!" ”

Lei Duoer is worthy of being a heroine among women, under a passionate preaching, the hearts of the troops of the Southern Qi Department are a little, and in the face of the rout of the Southern Qi army, Lei Duoer ordered the front army: "If there is a person who attacks the military formation, there will be no forgiveness!" ”

After killing hundreds of robes, the retreating Nanqi soldiers came to their senses, they must be dead if they escaped, and maybe they wouldn't die if they turned around to fight, seeing that the road ahead was impassable, everyone thought that they still had weapons in their hands, why retreat?

Then the Southern Qi soldiers switched formations, and in turn slaughtered Feng Bi's army like hungry tigers.

Feng Bi saw that the morale of the soldiers of Southern Qi had recovered, and knew that his plan had failed, so he did not dare to despise it at the moment, and immediately led the army to meet the battle, and at the same time asked Li Ke to inform him, hoping that he could go around Lei Duo'er and launch an attack.

After Li Ke got the news, he led the elite cavalry out of the battlefield, and then detoured to the rear of the Lei Duoer army and launched a surprise attack on the unsuspecting rear army.

Lei Duoer was suddenly attacked by the enemy on his back and was dragged here for a while, which could not affect the battle situation of the Chinese army.

Wei Ran saw that Lei Duoer's army did not inflict a devastating blow on the Eastern Qin army as expected, so he sighed: "People are not as good as heaven, it seems that we can only hope for Duan Weiyang." ”

And at this time, something ridiculous is happening in Weiyang.

Duan Weiyang was ordered by Wei Ran, and the elite cavalry swayed to the rear of the Eastern Qin army in advance, originally intending to occupy the commanding heights.

Because Wei Ran's order to Duan Weiyang was to let him act at the opportunity, make his own decisions, and then attack the rear of the Eastern Qin army at the most appropriate time.

Therefore, Duan Weiyang wanted to occupy the commanding heights to observe the enemy's situation, and this was the rear of Eastern Qin, and Eastern Qin did not expect that there would be cavalry here.

But when he came to the top of this hill, he found that it was not only guarded by soldiers, but also seemed to have many people on the mountain.

Seeing that there were not many soldiers, Duan Weiyang immediately ordered to go up the mountain, but what shocked him was that it was not some elite soldiers and fierce generals on the mountain, but the Eastern Qin nobles who were drinking wine and watching the battlefield!
