This is a peculiar war, the first to attack, but in the end it becomes the one who is the head of the mouse.

Yuwen Yong sat on the horse, Huang Gai had retreated to the northern hill outside the main battlefield with the infantry armor, and the word "Zhou" on the Daxu flag was still faintly visible.

The heavens and the earth were cold, and the heavy horsemen wearing snow-bright armor rushed to kill in a place less than thirty meters wide in the forbidden ditch.

The hundreds of thousands of troops of the Zhou State were lined up under the banner of the word "Zhou", and looked at the south angrily and frightenedly, and the naturally formed slope of the forbidden ditch became the hunting ground for the slaughter of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

As the strongest army in the post-Three Kingdoms era, the Northern Qi Baibao lived up to his prestige, all of them were warriors who could fight tigers and leopards with both hands, wearing double layers of heavy armor, holding a long lance and a saber hanging from their waists, rushing into the enemy army like a humanoid tank.

As soon as he saw the face, he defeated Wang Jie, who was also good at cavalry warfare, so to speak, on this slope, it was as easy as tearing the front of the Northern Zhou army to tear through the front of the Northern Zhou army

Wang Jie's momentum from the beginning was like a rainbow, and he fell into an extremely dangerous and passive situation! Yu Wenyong was extremely anxious, and immediately wanted to send the cavalry to fight again, but was stopped by Wei Xuan, who was galloping on a fast horse:

"This is a forbidden ditch, the terrain is narrow, and it is against the river valley, it is inconvenient for the army to deploy, and the Lord of Qi chooses this place to fight, and he will harbor evil intentions! The only way to do this is to make Wang Jie retreat first for the time being, and it is not appropriate to add more troops to fight.

"Qi people are humble and hundred-preservation, and their combat power is the best in the world, and they cannot be controlled without heavy armor and crossbows...... Your Majesty, the army will just wait here to see the victory or defeat of the battle, and when they descend the steep slope and pursue them, we will serve them with long swords and axes! ”

When Yu Wenyong heard this, a look of struggle flashed in his eyes, Wang Jie's general flag was still on it, although he was staggered by the impact of the iron flow of the Qi army, but after all, he had not fallen, Wang Jie was still struggling to kill, and no party flinched.

Yu Wenyong's unwillingness was naturally captured by Wei Xuan, and Wei Xuan suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Wang Jie's only merit and fame are important, and he can't overwhelm me because of him!" ”

"Shut up!" Yu Wenyong raised his horsewhip and slapped it on Wei Xuan's body and face, gritted his teeth and said: "Wang Jie is fighting with his life in front, but you came to me and told me to retreat for the time being, don't you know that I have no way to retreat now?" ”

"The decisive battle is ahead, and avoiding the battle at this time will be such a heavy blow to the morale of my Great Zhou soldiers and what a blow to my prestige, don't you know? You are a veteran, don't you know that shaking the morale of the army is a capital crime? ”

Wei Xuan let the horsewhip fall on his head and face, but he didn't have the slightest intention of dodging, and when he heard the emperor question his intentions, he just blushed, and replied in a deep voice: "The minister has the heart to serve the country with a fist, and there is no distraction, please Your Majesty to be clear!" ”

Yu Wenyong stared at this veteran who had fought for the Great Zhou for many years, and there was a lot of unbearability in his heart, so he turned his head coldly, and finally softened his tone a point or two: "General Wei, get up, it's my words that have no basis, but I hope that you can stand on my side and think about it more." ”

"The matter has come to this, why don't I know that the Qi people are ambushing and setting up dangers? But Duan Shao has already cut off the retreat, and burned half of the food and grass of our army, our army can no longer stand, at this time the army's heart is still there and there is no fighting, do you want to wait until the camp is full of hunger to fight? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Duan Shao is not to worry, although Yang Jian and Zhao Zhongqing have suffered small defeats, they have not yet suffered major defeats, and the success of the surprise attack on the detour is not enough to show that Duan Shao is a threat to my rear......"

"—General Wei!" Yu Wenyong categorically interrupted Wei Xuan, the color of anger could no longer be hidden, but the words were still smooth and unscathed, "I will think about it, but now, I think it is best to defeat the Qi people first, what do you say?" ”

Wei Xuan knew that the emperor was extremely angry at this time, and he would not listen to what he said, and there were bursts of sadness in his heart, and after a while, he raised his fist and said: "The minister understands, if Wang Jie is defeated and retreats, please be the vanguard!" ”

On the slope, the fierce battle was nearing its end, and under the charging formation of the Qi armored cavalry, the Zhou army began to collapse and scatter...... Wang Jie personally commanded his subordinates to behead one hundred and ten Qi troops in a fierce battle in half a day, but he couldn't recover the decline, so he could only watch as the Qi Guojia cavalry rushed and killed all the sons and daughters under his command.

Fang was just beside him, and when his lieutenant was fighting, a Qi man rushed over and killed him with a long lance, and the spear tore open the breastplate, penetrating from the back of the heart, and he died without even screaming, and the death was extremely miserable.

Although the soldiers of the Zhou army also have armor, they are not as armed to the teeth as the armored cavalry of the Qi State, and they can't even break their outer armor without wasting any strength in tight fighting, not to mention that there is a layer of tough leather armor under the iron armor...... It is no exaggeration to say that when Zhou Jun first saw this group of monsters wrapped in iron sheets, half of them lost their fighting spirit.

Although the heavy riding is terrifying, it is not too easy to kill people at a gallop on the slope, but the heavy riding is not without its weaknesses, and their weakness lies in their limited mobility.

Heavy riding kills mostly knock people away, take advantage of the situation to kill, walk in a straight line, and pay attention to moving forward. Although the combat effectiveness is strong, the degree of flexibility is seriously insufficient.

At the beginning, Wang Jie led the light horse to avoid the edge, and went around the back to the back, chasing the backstab, which was quite effective. But soon Qi Ren's infantry armor also came up, and the long knife and bold axe slashed horizontally and vertically, and defeated Wang Jie's department head-on.

Excellent infantry armor costs more than raising heavy horses, these people not only have the same iron armor as heavy horses, but even more sophisticated weapons, they are all eight feet long big men, not to mention easy to turn, but also good at team cooperation.

Often four or five infantry armor can block more than ten cavalry, if more than ten infantry armor together, the cavalry had better hurry away. Wang Jie didn't believe in evil at first, and then paid the price of blood.

As soon as they saw each other, many of the cavalry were attacked, first by a row of spears stabbed in front of them, and then by a group of infantry armor armed with long axes and slashed at the shoulder blades of the cavalrymen, dragging them off their horses and chopping them into pulp. Not only that, but they also had their own division of labor in such things as cutting off horses' legs, raising shields, and harassing them.

Wang Jie took a look: It's not an opponent.

It's better to withdraw first!

In short, Fan Zigai, the main general of the forward, shined today, with 300 dead soldiers, breaking through the center of the enemy formation, and cutting down Hou Mo Chenqi, the commander of the former army of the Zhou army.

Li He, Yu Zhongwen and others saw that Shuai Qi was beheaded, Wang Jie gathered the remnants of the army, but fell into the enemy formation, in a hurry, waved his long sword, and personally led the remaining troops of the front army to relieve the siege...... Wang Jie fought to the death before escaping with more than 1,000 people.

Wang Jie is old, when he rushed into battle, he was hit by several arrows, more than ten wounds, and when he escaped, he almost fell off his horse, and when he arrived in front of Deyu Wenyong, he was already a dying and half-dead appearance.

Yu Wenyong forcibly suppressed the anger in his chest, casually comforted him, and then ordered Feng Qian, Li He and others to retreat, and formed a formation in the same place, preparing to fight again...... Gao Wei, led by the guards, went to a pier to watch the battle, and Murong Yan also ordered the troops here. This pier platform is located on the ridge, and the entire battle situation is in full view and unobstructed, Murong Yan just wanted to salute, but was stopped by Gao Wei.

The two stood in front of the battlement, looking ahead, the Zhou army gradually retracted, and the Qi army slowly pushed forward, with a spirit of pulling mountains and shaking mountains.

The two sides are like two giants of flesh and blood, constantly accumulating strength and anger, waiting for the final moment of the general outburst, and until then, both sides have been restrained and silent......

The emperor pressed his hands on the battlement, leaned forward, looked down at the whole army, and then turned his gaze to the opposite side, Yuwen Yong's Wang Qi was over there, as if he noticed something, Yu Wenyong also looked over here, and saw the little shadow on the pier, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

The eyes of the two met for a moment, and then they each set aside, and now there is no need to be polite, only a battle!

Gao Wei asked cautiously: "Does Aiqing think we can win this battle?" ”

"This is natural, Yuwen Yong's cavalry has retreated a few miles, and the foot soldiers have also retreated to the foot of the mountain, at this time the river has frozen, and there is a flat river within a radius of dozens of miles, what tricks can he play? It's nothing more than a head-on confrontation with our army. ”

Murong Yan calmly replied when he heard this, "When it comes to the field battle of the army, the only one I am afraid of is Wei Xuan, and the rest are either the children of the anointed sorghum and the vain appearance, or the hairy children, and no one can take the lead; And Zhou Zhuyu Wenyong, I look at it now, and I know that he is also a stubborn person, and he does not deserve to be treated so solemnly by His Majesty...... If the battle is unfavorable, His Majesty can ask the minister. ”

"Zuo Xiang's words are serious, and I also think I can win." Gao Weile uncovered the matter, and turned his gaze to the royal flag, and his gentle gaze gradually sharpened.
