Zhu Hai thought about the direction of the next battle, and thought to himself that if Yique Pass was still unable to be captured for a long time, should he persuade Suiyang Hou to withdraw his troops?

Under the fortified city, it was a taboo for soldiers, and just as he was thinking, a horn suddenly sounded in the distance.

Zhu Hai immediately turned his horse's head, "Enemy!" Could it be that the Don Army has begun a counteroffensive!

Thinking about it, he hurriedly rode his horse all the way east from the north of the camp, then turned to the south, and soon reached the northeast of the camp along a row of low woods, and in the distance there was a fence of the camp, and the shouts of killing were everywhere outside the camp.

Soon a dense cavalry rushed out of the woods, rushed towards the side of the camp, panicked and fled, the dust splashed and fled to this side, and the shouts of killing in the rear shook the sky, the dust was filled, and the sky was gray.

"Tang Jun is here!" Zhu Hai immediately understood, and then mobilized a large number of soldiers to come to the side of the wall, and responded to the soldiers outside to flee for their lives.

Soon, thousands of cavalry rushed through the clearing, some fell to the ground, and some were shot down by the crossbows and crossbows in the rear, and the originally dry land was gradually stained red with blood.

Zhu Hai couldn't see the situation on the other side clearly, because it was a small forest, he didn't dare to rush over, so he sent scouts to investigate, and soon the scouts hurried back and reported: "The opposite side is all Tang Army, there are many!"

On the one hand, Zhu Hai asked people to report the situation to the Chinese army, and on the other hand, he sent people to organize a defense at the wall to prevent the follow-up Tang army from rushing to the camp.

After thousands of soldiers fled back to the camp one after another, everyone stared nervously at the woods dozens of paces away.

The sound of footsteps and shouts of killing in the dark woods became louder and louder, and the surrounding atmosphere became tense at once, and soon the figures of the Tang army appeared on the edge of the woods one after another, and Zhu Hai, who had already prepared, immediately ordered loudly: "Release the arrows!" Shoot all the arrows!"

In an instant, the bowstring buzzed, and the black arrows were like a black cloud, quickly rushing towards the opposite side, and more than a dozen of the soldiers of the Tang army rushing to the front were shot down, but when they opened their bows and arrows again, the opposite Tang army had already erected an iron wall.

The Tang army arrived one after another, erected a long wall with a high shield at the edge of the woods, and then a large number of Tang army crossbow strings exploded densely in the woods, and they could still be heard clearly after twenty or thirty steps.

This kind of sound can be described as a life-urging magic sound for the Yu army in the camp!

The Tang army is very powerful, they have long understood that at a distance of dozens of steps, almost all armor can be easily penetrated, and shields that are not well made can also be shot through, and many Yu soldiers fell to the ground in an instant.

Zhu Hai saw that the soldiers in front of him were shot down a lot in an instant, screamed again and again, and immediately ordered the troops by the walled wall to retreat, and he quickly turned his horse's head and fled for a distance.

He did not admit defeat, but was ready to organize more cavalry to rush directly to counterattack and retake the woods.

Soon, the Marquis of Suiyang also sent someone over to ask about the situation, and asked him to organize the Yu soldiers to deal with it, Zhu Hai asked the soldiers to report: "It should be the reinforcements of the Tang Army, I don't know how many there are, but they don't dare to come out if they occupy the woods, and there shouldn't be many people." Probably from Longmen Town."

Subsequently, Zhu Hai began to organize the garrison of the palace in front of the palace on the northeast side of the camp to support the Japanese garrison, preparing to send a large number of cavalry to attack the Tang army and recapture the woods.

Soon, however, scouts came to report that the Tang army had changed its deployment.

Zhu Hai and his people came closer to see, and saw from a distance that after seizing the woods, the Tang army did not come out, but began to tie many military chariots and chariots together at the edge of the woods, and stood there, building a long city wall, which spread at the foot of the northern section of the city wall of Yique Pass across the open space, stretching for about two miles.

Such a formation gave Zhu Hai a headache, or the Tang Army's car formation has always been a headache for the enemy, whether it is the Central Plains countries or foreign races engaged in nomadism, fishing and hunting.

The chariots of the Don army were very tall when they stood up, with sharp swords tied to the front ends, and the chariots were fastened with ropes and chains, and in the rear were spearmen and crossbowmen, and it was almost impossible for the cavalry to charge such a formation head-on.

People are afraid of high-speed war horses, but those wooden carts are not afraid, and after hundreds or thousands of vehicles are fastened together, it is very difficult to shake them, and there are headache-inducing strong bows and crossbows in the back.

Even if you want to send rangers to attack with cavalry shooting

, and don't dare to get too close, and if you accidentally get shot off the horse by the crossbowmen behind the car.

And the reason why Zhu Hai still remembers this formation is because he personally understood the horror of this style of play when he was in his thirties, and it was also the worst defeat of Yuguo against Yongguo.

More than 20 years ago, the 100,000 army of Yu State marched westward and was defeated in Chongquan County, Fengyi County, the first emperor only led a few hundred people to flee, and then collected the remnants of the army, and the losses amounted to as much as 80,000.

At that time, the Yong*** team opposite them defeated them with a car formation.

In the current situation, it is very difficult to launch a strong attack, and in the open space in the middle, there are many corpses of soldiers and horses killed in battle, which seriously affects the march of the cavalry and slows down the speed of the cavalry.

The cavalry holding the Japanese had to face the dense crossbow fire of the Tang army in the middle of the march, and then had to climb a short gentle slope, and then appeared in front of them the impregnable chariot formation of the Tang army.

Therefore, Zhu Hai suddenly made a shock and ordered all the troops to stop, abandon the previous plan to attack and recapture the woods, and instead send troops to patrol the camp to prevent the Tang army from sneaking attack.

The car formation has its strengths, and naturally it also has its weaknesses, that is, it is too stupid and slow.

Hundreds or thousands of military vehicles are very strong in defense, but it is also very difficult to move, if you can't fight, you just run.

In view of this, after Zhu Hai found out that the Tang army had put on such a formation, he guessed that the Tang army on the opposite side was also afraid and did not dare to confront them, so he adopted the method of car formation, not wanting to take the initiative to attack.

"Tang Jun is like this, they have always been like this, cowardly as mice." After thinking about this, Zhu Hai felt contempt in his heart.

The Tang army has always liked to defend in war, either defending the city, or guarding it with military vehicles, or building a strong camp, and there is no such courage as their warriors of the Yu Kingdom.

He originally thought that if the other party launched an attack at this time, it might be difficult for them to deal with it, but he didn't expect that the opponent's army would come from Longmen Mountain, and after arriving at the city, he would start to camp with a military chariot formation, and he had no intention of attacking.

After arranging the manpower, Zhu Hai immediately hurried to the west, and went to the imperial tent of the Chinese army to report the matter to Wei Hua, the Marquis of Suiyang, Wei Hua also laughed at the Tang army after hearing this, like a mouse, not to be afraid, and agreed with his suggestion to send troops to keep an eye on it and not to attack.

However, when the Tang army arrived outside the city, it would undoubtedly be seen by the defenders in Yique Pass and improve their morale, which was a disadvantage.

Their deployment at this time was that the camp of the army was located in the rear in the west, and the siege troops were in front, and the middle was about half a mile apart, Zhu Hai surrendered his hand and asked: "Lord Hou, the last general, please increase the strength of the siege, since the reinforcements of the Tang army have arrived under the city from the north, then the siege can not be delayed any longer.

At the same time, the army was sent to the east of the camp, and the minister felt that the Guangyong army (with a full strength of 20,000 men) should be dispatched over and deployed to the northeast of the camp, so that the movements of the Tang army could be monitored at any time."

Halfway through speaking, he felt a little thirsty, Li Li in the big tent handed him a wine glass, Zhu Hairun moistened his throat and continued: "If the Tang army in the northeast is unwilling to sit back and watch the fall of Yique Pass, it wants to attack. Then the carts must be withdrawn, and then the eastern troops can immediately attack and defeat them or drive them back to Longmen Mountain.

If they have been standing still, only defending Longmen Mountain, and watching the fall of Yique Pass in front of them, then they will not be ignored at all.

When our army takes the Yique Pass, they will be completely isolated, and they will either flee east immediately or die."

After listening to this, Wei Hua, Marquis of Suiyang, nodded, and said approvingly to the soldiers beside him: "Just follow the arrangement that General Zuo said, and convey Benhou's order."

The soldiers went out to give orders, and soon in the camp of hundreds of thousands of troops in Yu, soldiers and horses began to be dispatched.

The Yu army lost part of the camp on the northeast side of the camp near Longmen Mountain, but did not care.

It was originally the periphery of the camp, and the soldiers deployed in that area were originally to guard against the Tang army coming from the direction of Yique Pass in the east, but now they are here, confronting each other there, and setting up a car formation that gives them a headache, and if they do not attack, then continue to confront, and it will not affect the main major event of the frontal attack on Yique Pass.

The main energy of the Yu army was still on the Yique Pass on the front, and it did not manage the Tang army in the northeast that was still three or four miles away from the center of the camp

Send troops there to confront the Tang army coming from the east.

This kind of deployment is very wise, at least distinguish between priorities and priorities, and Wei Hua and Zhu Hai are also quite proud of this deployment.

But after dawn the next day, not long after the Yu army sent the siege troops, a huge rumbling sound came from the northeast corner of the camp, and the yellow dust in the distance swirled and rose in mid-air, obscuring the sky.

A large number of flags slowly appeared between the heaven and earth and the trees in the north of the camp, and a long black line opened on the horizon at the end of the eye, and the hot air rolled and twisted, making the black lines in the distance seem to be tumbling and swinging, like a black wave surging on the earth, accompanied by the desolate marching trumpet, overwhelming.

Zhu Hai, who was about to go to the siege camp in front, had a sudden burst in his heart, and the scout in front also rushed over and reported to him that the Tang army was coming.

He was not blind, he could see the movement that covered the sky in the distance, and he could hear the sound of horses' hooves that shook the earth, and the sound of trumpets that resounded through the sky.

"Report to Master Hou immediately! Ask him to gather an army!" Zhu Hai said loudly, he had already seen the big "Yin" flag in the mountains and wild horses in the distance, and he immediately knew what was going on in his heart, Yin He, the commander of the Second Army of the Tang Kingdom, led the army to come!

Zhu Hai also quickly understood the seriousness of the matter, the two countries had been fighting each other for more than a month, and the two armies had also been fighting each other for more than half a month, but today, the decisive battle came so quickly and abruptly.

But this is war, it is always ever-changing, Zhu Hai took a deep breath, and immediately thought of sending someone to call back the siege troops under the city, but he never expected that it would be too late after just a short delay.

After arriving to the west of Yique Pass, Yin He had already seen the Yu army camp in the distance.

300,000 Yu troops, a huge camp spread out on the southern land, surrounded by a perimeter fence, stretching for more than ten miles, the sound of horses' hooves and noisy shouts can be heard from a long distance.

On the periphery of the camp were Yu soldiers patrolling back and forth, looking like a swarm of neat black ants from a distance.

The Chinese army had already launched a formation as early as a mile away, and Wang Rong personally sat in charge of the Chinese army, and pushed over step by step, and the long front opened by tens of thousands of troops trampled a large area of green wheat seedlings and ears in the southwest of Yique Pass into dark green mud.

However, at this time, it was too late to take care of so much, before Wang Rong ordered not to disturb the people, the people's things could not be robbed, the houses could not be burned, and the fields could not be stepped on, but now he could not let the army reach the camp of the Yu army before launching the formation, that would be dangerous.

He ordered the Chinese army to stop a mile away from Yique Pass, spread out in formation, and then began to advance.

The cavalry led by Wuluo was moving south along the road between the fields to the west, and arrived at the southwest side of the Yu army camp to form a formation.
