"I think the odds of both sides should be five to five." Gongsun Linglong drank another glass of wine, drank it all, and then continued: "From the perspective of military strength alone, Beastyang is known as 150,000, our army is 200,000, although the Fuhu Army is gone, but we still have a slight advantage in numbers, Ouyang Yunqing's deployment is also decent, it is not brilliant but there is definitely no problem, the Beastyang cavalry is skilled in bows and horses, maybe the combat power is slightly higher, plus a big victory a few days ago, the morale is quite high, so now it looks like it should be evenly divided." ”

Zhuge Qingshi nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, he agreed with Gongsun Linglong's statement, and then looked at Xuanyuan half-dream on the side.

"If there are no accidents, Gongsun Linglong's analysis is roughly not bad, but even if he wins, the casualties will be very large." Xuanyuan half-dreamed and said.

"Accidents? What surprises can there be in a head-to-head showdown on the plains? It is nothing more than a competition for combat morale. Zhuge Qingshi was a little puzzled.

Xuanyuan's half-dreaming eyes became a little hesitant, and his two fingers rubbed the edge of the wine glass repeatedly: "In the past two days, some soldiers who escaped from the ambush battlefield have returned to the Blood Fat Pass, I went to ask them about the ambush that day, and they said that the ambush must be the main force of the beast yang, about seventy or eighty thousand cavalry." Then there is a problem here, plus the twenty or thirty thousand beast yang who besieged and rejected the tiger pass, and the beast yang sent a total of more than 100,000 people out. Before the decisive battle came, for an ambush battle, he sent all his main cavalry forces? Is your own camp still guarded? Or are they more than 150,000 people? ”

After saying that, Xuanyuan looked at a few people with an inquiring face, meaning that I thought so, right?

Everyone was stunned, even Gongsun Linglong frowned, anyway, if he was the leader, it would be impossible to take out all his family resources in the first battle.

That is to say, it is really possible for Beast Yang to have a back hand, and the extra people are 20,000? 50,000? Or hundreds of thousands? Is it enough to affect the final battle situation? This is not a simple numbers game, but a matter of human life.

Gongsun Linglong opened his mouth and said, "Is this matter reported to the authorities?" ”

Xuanyuan Banmeng shook his head and signaled no, Zhuge Qingshi also smiled bitterly and said: "This matter itself is just speculation, there is no evidence, it is also from the speculation of a border general and the oral description of ordinary soldiers, now the tactics have been decided, and the army is ready to go." With my understanding of Ouyang Yunqing, it is absolutely impossible to change it, and it is useless to say more at this time. ”

Gongsun Linglong sighed, and then stopped talking, people spoke softly, this is no way.

Zhuge Qingshi looked at a few people with a little anxiety: "If it is really as you expected, then isn't it dangerous for you to go?" ”

Xuanyuan half-dreamed and several people looked at Zhuge Qingshi at the same time, he was a little overwhelmed when he saw it, and suddenly several people looked at each other and smiled.

"It's just a fight to the death!"

Zhuge Qingshi's heart was shocked, and the corners of his eyes instantly moistened.

Everyone sat quietly, it was dark outside, and the atmosphere seemed extraordinarily quiet. Suddenly, I didn't know who it was, and hummed a tune in a low voice:

Smoke rises

Draw your sword and look north

The dragon soars

…………

It is said that this song was composed by the Generalissimo Mo Xie back then, or when he was the governor of the Long Army, in the North Mangdao of the Barbarian Region, so this song is called "Sword Pointing to the Wilderness", and most people in Bei Pass and North North Yaozhou will hum two sentences.

Xuanyuan half-dreamed and hummed with Lao Yutou, as if he was galloping on the battlefield with that majestic figure, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

Gongsun Linglong Zhuge Qingshi also slowly hummed, only to feel that his blood was boiling:

Smoke rises

Draw your sword and look north

The dragon soars

The horse hissed

The momentum is like a big deal

The heart is like the surging water of the dragon river

Thirty years of vertical and horizontal

Who can fight

Hatefulness

Spears are directed

How many siblings are buried in their bones

What a pity to die to repay the family and country

Bear with me

More speechless

Blood and tears filled his eyes

The horseshoe went south

People look north

People look north

The grass is green and yellow

Dusty

I am willing to defend the territory and reopen the territory

The dignified dragon wants to let the Quartet come to court

......

The next morning, the sky was just dawning, the cold wind was howling, and the outside of the city was snow-white, and the trees were full of ice crystals.

Suddenly, a sharp horn sounded from the general's mansion, and then the drums rang out, resounding throughout the city, and the army marched out!

Zhuge Qingshi stood alone on top of the city, slightly depressed, looking at the black torrent rolling out of the city gate, with a majestic momentum, he whispered:

"It's just a fight to the death!"

On the eve of the decisive battle, the Blood Lipid Plains were quiet, and I don't know how long it had been since a battle of hundreds of thousands of people had broken out in the Blood Lipid Plains.

The dark night, with no fingers in sight, is so quiet.

It's a pity that tomorrow, this land will be red with blood, and the plains will be stained with blood! Lipid Plains!

The sun was rising, and before the sunlight had completely penetrated the clouds, the armies of both sides were dispatched, and they were arrayed several miles apart, and for a time the waves were turbulent and the killing intent was everywhere.

I saw that most of the beast yang army was wearing pale yellow brute leather armor, and some of the elites were wearing soft iron armor, and the whole army was overwhelming like locusts.

First of all, there were wolves and wolves Qu Jing and other generals, and the hundreds of thousands of troops behind him were lined up as barbarian eagles with wings spread, slightly chaotic, but with a strong fighting spirit.

Behind him were 50,000 foot soldiers, surrounded by the command platform of the Chinese army, and the tiger and tiger sat in it, the guards were lined up on the left and right, his face was hideous, and the corners of his mouth hung a mad sneer.

And the dragon army, with its cold black clothes and black armor, makes people shudder.

The first three-way cavalry was clearly distinguished, and Linghu Qianqiu and Dugu led one from the blue, taking the lead and being majestic.

Xuanyuan's half-dreaming black-armored cavalry blood Luo Sha array was in a little later position, the night before Ling Hu Qianqiu pushed the crowd out, the pro-Bei Pass cavalry as the first to charge the battle, as for letting the blood Luo Sha lag behind, Ling Hu Qianqiu's heart actually hoped to leave some seeds for the defenders of the Tiger Pass, after all, the cavalry rushed into battle, and the farther forward the more casualties were lost.

Behind the cavalry was a horse rejection array by the heavily armored battalion led by Zhuge Xuanbei.

Ouyang Yunqing took 40,000 cavalry to line up left and right, and if you look closely, you will find that the faces of these 40,000 cavalry are a little less solemn, and there is a little more panic, after all, when has the Jiao cavalry experienced a cavalry field battle of this scale.

Five paces in front of the heavy battalion, there were two rows of stakes to block the horses, and the cavalry would be hindered in their speed and the impact would be greatly reduced.

The heavy armor worn by the infantry is made of more than 3,000 patches spliced by soft ropes and leather strips, almost covering the whole body, which not only has extremely high defense but also good breathability, because the manufacturing cost is too high, it was almost stopped by the military department and the household department.

The soldiers are all armed with fine iron spears, which are not easy to break under the impact of war horses, three rows are in a group, arranged in turn, supplemented by shields in front of them, Zhuge Xuanbei sits in the center, holding the hilt of the knife, and does not move at all.

The heavy battalion had no weapons other than spears, because the cavalry crashed into formation, and the next moment the spears broke, the horses' hooves would almost trample on your chest.

Behind the heavy battalion is a bow and crossbow battalion composed of 10,000 strong archers temporarily drawn from various departments, and in front of the bow and crossbow camp are also placed to resist horses, once the heavy armor battalion is breached, this is the last barrier to protect the archers behind them.

The men in the bow and crossbow camp were armed with strong bows and crossbows, and their waists were equipped with sharp swords, just waiting for the arrows to be wound, and the archers carried a full quiver on their backs, believing that they would have enough for the great battle.
