The grassland is cold and windy at night, and for the Xirong people who are accustomed to it, they hide in the felt tent, let the war horses get together to keep warm, and block the wind outlet by the way.

The deliberations in the Great Tent of the Khan have also come to an end, and no better way has been discussed, so it is decided to camp in the grassland outside Yantang Pass first, wait for the opportunity, and let the other party take the initiative to seek battle.

Woolen carpets were laid, cowhide boots came and went, and braziers were erected to reflect the tribal capitals and captains in the tents, toasting each other and eating lamb.

He sucked the grease on his fingers, looked at the flames in the brazier, and asked Luo Jingbin of Wei from time to time about the Xia King of Yan Kingdom.

"Regardless of whether the other party is cheating, or is really already on the way here, it has already shown that this Xia King of Yan Kingdom has temporarily resolved some contradictions in the Central Plains. The number of double tens, having such an ability, is really rare. ”

"The Khan doesn't need to be so praised, in my opinion, this person is so happy, the army is reckless, the Yan country is not rich, he has been fighting for many years, and he is suffering from the people, the land of the four wars in the Central Plains, at this time there is no benefit in taking the Central Plains, on the contrary, he will scatter the soldiers in his hands to defend the countries around and bring about his own destruction."

Listening to the remarks of his Wei staff, he slanted his big eyes, nodded heavily, and raised the silver bowl: "It makes sense." ”

Between the words, the king's tent soldiers came in with the curtain lifted, knelt on one knee, and reported: "Khan, according to the scouts lurking outside, the soldiers and horses of Yantang Pass are being mobilized. ”

Here, the oblique boy narrowed his eyes, Luo Jingbin stroked his beard and closed his eyes, and most of the commanders and captains in the tent stopped drinking and eating meat, and looked at the guards who were talking.

The Xirong people of the grassland have a special scout for the information and the surrounding countries, at this time, the army is stationed to rest, and the scouts are arranged to monitor Yantang Pass, but during the day that day, the opposing cavalry came to help, and the scouts did not dare to get too close, so they had to monitor from afar, almost every six or seven miles, there were scouts, and the movement could be detected at this time, indicating that the soldiers and horses in Yantang Pass had been out of the pass.

That's it?

Also fucking at night, what the hell did the other party think!

Hearing the mobilization of Yan Guo's soldiers and horses, and even out of the customs, everyone in the tent instantly felt the pressure falling on their shoulders, don't look at the tent in the oblique control department, most of the commanders, and the captains are all generals of the army, and they have fought a lot of battles, but they are about to face the Xia King of Yan Kingdom, who is about to face a prominent martial arts, and their hearts are more or less up and down.

"Do you think there's a problem with choosing this time?" The slanted khan put down the silver bowl and looked at the people in the tent.

Those who can raise troops on the side of Qingjun, fight Yanjing in the first battle, and directly kill the Central Plains in the second year, break through Luyang, and enter the Wei Palace.

The rejuvenating of the army has been a major event since ancient times, and the first reaction of the Xirong generals in the tent was to attract the attention of their main force.

"Since they are here, the Khan must not avoid the battle, otherwise the tribal warriors will think that the Khan is cowardly and will affect the morale of the army." Luo Jingbin's voice was faint, as if he was confident, but in fact, he wished that the corpses on both sides would be killed everywhere.

On one side is the Xia King of Yan Kingdom, who often wins more with less, and on the other side is the Khan of the grassland, sitting on more than 100,000 cavalry.

For a moment, the heroes of the world and the grassland on both sides were pawns on his chessboard.

"Fellow warriors of Xirong, my staff is right, we were driven down from the city wall that day, and if we avoid the battle, we will make the people of the tribe under our command think that the majesty of the warriors of Xirong is gone."

Diagonally stood up, his burly body stood in front of everyone like a small mountain: "Now we are in the grassland, here is the pasture and battlefield of our Xirong people!" Whether it's night or day, the galloping war horses will never stop! ”

In the tent, the commanders of all the tribes threw down the wine bowls and the knives that cut the meat, and got up one by one with their knees propped up, clenching their fists against their chests.

"Khan, rest assured, our warriors will trample the bones of the Yan people under the hooves of horses!"

The oblique driver nodded, and his tone slowed down: "I like your unruly appearance very much, but be careful, there are times when the eagle lands, and the blue wolf also has a time when the tooth knocks, the Yan people have many foot soldiers, try to cut them apart, and defeat them on this grassland!" ”

Most of these commanders and captains in the tent were famous warriors of his tribe or other tribes, who had followed him and their fathers to annex many tribes, and had sufficient combat experience.

"Haha, don't worry, Khan, Baile will command the tribal warriors to sacrifice the head of that Xia King of Yan Kingdom in front of you!"

"We may not be able to attack the city, but if we want to fight on horseback on the grassland, the people of Yan will wait to die!"

"The shame of that day, Kuzan will get it back for the Khan!"

Xian Yu is very satisfied with their state, although they can't fight blindly, but the momentum on the battlefield is still sufficient: "But you still have to be careful, the general of the Yan Kingdom who rushed out of the pass that day, his equestrian skills are exquisite, and his archery skills are also extremely rare." ”

Thinking of the general of the Yan Kingdom who was stationed on the horse and holding the bow that day, wearing a red cloak of serial armor, the eyes that looked from a distance on horseback, and the divine arrow that shot several miles with an arrow, when he thought about it at this time, he would exude a shivering chill on his body.

Seeing that the tribal warriors under his command stopped talking, he raised his hand and waved his hand, asking everyone in the tent to go back and prepare.

"This time we brought almost all the warriors of the Oblique Division, and we have enough troops. However, we can't underestimate the Xia King of Yan Kingdom, he can fight beautiful battles in the north and the Central Plains, and there must be something we need to learn and watch out for. ”

"Yes!" In the tent, the tribal generals of Xirong were excitedly rubbing their hands, and their eyes showed fierceness.

Defeat a Xia King of Yan Kingdom who has won consecutive battles, from the north to the Central Plains, what else can get such glory?

A smile finally appeared on the Khan's face.

"All right, my warriors, go and get ready...... Trample the self-proclaimed invincible King Xia of Yan Kingdom under the horse! ”

The night is like flowing water.

The stars converged at this moment, and on the dark grassland, only the dense and dull sound of horses' hooves stretched to the ground.

120,000 cavalry, that is a huge unimaginable scale, like countless torrents leaving the huge camp, stretching to the east, along the way scouts constantly exchange information, keep the news of the various cavalry usually, after all, it is in the dark night, for the cavalry has a great disadvantage.

The moment the huge cavalry torrent advanced eastward, the battle suddenly broke out.

On the field under a grassy hill more than eighty miles away from Yantang Pass, two thousand Xirong cavalry first encountered a battalion of two thousand Youyan soldiers and horses, their shields were held high, and arrows flew across the night sky, falling into the position and nailed to the shields, or the ground.

In the phalanx of layers of foot soldiers, there are also arrows to give the opposing cavalry to return fire, under the leadership of the lieutenant and the cavalry governor, do not entangle with the opponent's cavalry, keep the array and the opponent's two thousand cavalry pulling each other, the arrows return fire, and then a little bit began to move backwards.

Far and near.

On the front line of more than ten miles from north to south, there are still a few Youyan army troops and Xirong vanguard cavalry encounters, since the Youyan army became an army, in several major battles in the Central Plains, have served as the main offensive army, even if there are new recruits to join in, it is also the elite who survived the captives into the queue, veterans lead new soldiers, the array is skillful, and the battle is tenacious.

They relied on iron-wrapped shields to block the cavalry of Xirong cavalry in the dark night, shooting arrows at each other as they walked.

It seems to be an attempt to lure the people of Xijon over.

Over there, Anuhu's 2,000 slave soldiers, Qin Qiong's 3,000 Tang troops, and Li Dian's 5,000 county soldiers were all on standby here.

Take 20,000 Youyan troops to attract the main force of the other party, and only one person can do it, and that is Jia Xu next to Su Chen.

"Zhongshu Ling, if you are chased by the main force of the other side and copy Zhang Yi's 20,000 people from behind, there will be no need to fight this battle." Su Chen was riding on the back of a big black horse, and the war horse was anxiously swallowing his tongue, feeling a little uneasy.

"The dark night of the king's election is exactly what he imagined, if he wants to defeat more than 100,000 cavalry, the king needs at least 300,000 soldiers and horses, and the king does not have it in addition to his hands, unless he recruits soldiers from all over the Yan Kingdom!" The old man named Jia Xu was also sitting on horseback, he had swords and swords all his life, but he was not hurt at all, and he lived to the end of his life, and there was no scene that could scare him.

"However, if you want to defeat, this night is the most convenient 'weapon', the larger the army, the more obvious the disadvantages of night combat, for light cavalry, the power of arrows is greatly weakened, unless the Xirong barbarians have the ability to command the army such as Wei Qing and Zhou Yafu."

Su Chen stroked the mane of the mount, looked at him and smiled: "Then what next?." ”

"Defeat the group of cavalry in front of you first." There was a gloomy and sympathetic atmosphere in Jia Xu's bland words.

Speaking of which, more than two hours have passed since the five battalions of Youyan soldiers and horses went out, and there were gradually horses' hooves and people's shouts in front, spreading towards this side, and it seemed to have reached the designated position.

On the left and right, there were one or two battalions of Youyan troops stopping at a distance of four or five miles, connecting from south to north to form a battle line.

Along the way, the quivers of the Xirong cavalry who were constantly chasing and harassing were basically not many arrows, and the Dadu Tong named Baile personally came to the front line and ordered the cavalry without feathered arrows to pounce on the Yan army array.

For a while, there was already a fight on the front line.

The shouts of killing were like a tidal wave, spears were like forest thorns, hanging out pieces of flesh and blood, and the roars and screams of people, and the golden sounds of gold and iron clashing exploded, boiling violently in the crowd.

"Xirong barbarians, kill the people of the north, you wait for your parents and relatives at home, how can you endure it anymore!"

Zhang Yi's voice resounded through the array, and in the face of the rushing cavalry, the front line composed of spears like a forest in front, the Youyan soldiers frantically stabbed at the other party.

The twenty-mile-long front, abandoned the bow and arrow, the Xirong light cavalry with spears and scimitars rushed in, and met with countless iron spears through the flesh and blood, the war horses neighed, and the screams of the Xirong people above, some of the Xirong cavalry crashed into the gun forest without their lives, and the heavy horse body and human corpse smashed the gun forest to the ground, and some were shot by the archers of the Youyan Army on the way to the charge, and then they were trampled on the body by the clansmen behind them.

The two thousand Youyan arrays in the center, more than twenty Youyan cavalry rained into the front array, and the front row was concave inward in an instant.

"Go up and bulldoze the front!" Zhang Yi rode on the horse's back, urging the horse to walk back and forth under the flag for a few steps, making the horse gallop and shout.

The colonel shouted in the queue, and his subordinates rushed forward, picking up the shields on the ground to close the gap again, and more and more Xijon cavalry crashed into them—

Falling from his horse and smashing the line, the undead Xirong soldiers got up from the ground, grabbed their knives and rushed to the gap, and then were pushed back by the Youyan soldiers with shields.

As soon as the two sides attacked and defended in contact, they frantically pushed and slashed towards the opposite side, and on the cold and windy grassland, there was a bloody hell everywhere within sight.

The regular five hundred cavalry deployed by the Youyan Army also had to join the battle at this time.

The infantry and cavalry on both sides combined more than 30,000 people, and the twenty-mile front was full of human battles, cavalry charges, and rangers wandering.

Suddenly, a trumpet sounded, and on the west side of the battlefield, a forest of torches lit up, and a large number of cavalry broke through the darkness and spread like a tide, and the Kuzan tribe replaced the cavalry of Baile, and withdrew the light cavalry without bows and arrows, while the cavalry of the other tribe of Bituo wanted to detour the battlefield and attack the rear of the line.

In the news sent back by the scout, Su Chen glanced at it, and handed it to Jia Xu, and then he raised his hand, Qin Qiong didn't have a horse lance, he only took an iron spear, and led three thousand to the right flank of the battlefield with Zhang Yu.

This team of 3,000 people was composed of Wei troops, and before leaving, a large number of bows and crossbows were configured, and three governors were specially dispatched.

Less than half an hour after arriving at the right flank of the battlefield, the ground under his feet began to tremble above the field.

The light cavalry of the 6,000 must-drag department pushed horizontally, under the cover of the light cavalry on both sides with bows and arrows, the two thousand cavalry in the middle bravely launched the preparation of the breakthrough, and tried their best to the hoarse shouts, rushing forward like raindrops to the Tang army array, head-on, in addition to the spear array of Rulin rushed out, it was a crossbow shot by a crossbow, many Xirong cavalry were still on the way to charge, they were shot dead on horseback, and then rolled over and fell to the ground.

The dead were not conspicuous in the two thousand horsemen who charged, and the next thing to meet was a dense array of guns, and the Xirong cavalry who pounced on them were directly pierced by the spear blades through the hard leather jackets, and the horses were pierced by spears, and the screaming neighing people stood up, and the Xirong light cavalry above even the men and horses crashed into the dense spears, and several spearheads drilled into the flesh and blood, piercing from behind, and stabbing the leather jackets on the back.

This force of 3,000 soldiers and horses did not have an advantage in numbers, the time for forming an army was short, and the formation was not coordinated and fast.

In the end, the mighty cavalry of the Bituo tribe still tore through the formation and killed through the gap in the middle of the array, and in just over twenty breaths, there were still a few cavalry rushing towards the middle of the Yan country.

After running for several miles, I faintly saw as if a royal flag was erected in front, and the Xirong cavalry excitedly raised their weapons and rode their horses and galloped, and before they got closer, they were waved by Li Xuanba, who was coming on, and even people and horses were slapped to the ground.

"Huh...... That's not enough for me to smash. Li Xuanba carried two hammers to patrol around Wang Qi, glancing around from time to time, "Why don't you kill a few more and come in!" ”

To the west he looked, beyond the battle line, there was a dense stream of scouts constantly moving back and forth between the formations and the field, and the Great Bow of the oblique Khan stood thirty miles away.

In the cold night breeze, he rode on horseback, watching the news that followed, next to the two captains of ten thousand horses, as well as Luo Jingbin.

"20,000 people nailed the warriors of my tribe there, the army of the Xia King of the Yan Kingdom, it is really not simple, I heard that there are four armies like this, if he expands the formation, I may not dare to fight against him easily."

This sentence was said to Luo Jingbin, it seemed that the encounter would not be so smooth at the beginning, and the Baile tribe sent nearly 15,000 horsemen to be blocked by the other party, and now let the army that must be dragged forward to replace the attack, and was also firmly nailed to the spot by the other party.

As the battle went on over time, the news continued to come back from the front, and the slanted Khan sitting on horseback did not look good, "And the cavalry of the Yan people has not appeared yet, do you guess they are behind us?" ”

"Khan, don't guess, the other party must have attacked around the rear."

The old man got off the horse with a smile and moved his legs on the ground: "I have used such a trick many times!" ”

Such tactical outflanking is indeed not uncommon, however, the Yan State cavalry in his words was more than thirty miles away from the rear of his Wang Qi at this time.

In the dark night, the undulating figures stretched into patches, and the iron hooves that stepped out almost shook the earth.

Faintly, in the sound of the hooves of the running horses, the advancing figures began to separate.

Nearly twenty miles, at the forefront of the two cavalry dragons, a young general riding a red horse, wearing a red military uniform and crotch armor, his voice was high-pitched and firm, and he pulled out his ring sword.

"Charge with me—"

Looking down from the night sky, two rushing cavalry, like the arms of two giants, separated left and right, hugged forward.

Xirong Daxu rear formation, to prevent being outflanked, the oblique driver has already arranged nearly two horsemen here, and there are also more than 10,000 light cavalry arrays on the left and right.

Guarding here are the two tribes' capitals Ye Sha Li and Kui Dangnu, both of whom are both capitals, but their strength is not the same, the former has 10,000 horsemen, and the latter has 8,000 horsemen.

The grassland has always spoken with tribal strength, and the two of them were naturally led by Ye Shali, and he asked Kuidangnu to immediately lead 8,000 cavalry under his command to stop the two enemy cavalry.

However, he didn't know that the cavalry that launched a charge in front and formed a momentum, where they could intercept it, and Quidangnu was not willing to take his tribe to ride over, and launched a cavalry shot directly at the other party, and before he could draw his bow, the cavalry on the opposite side directly broke through the darkness, like a colliding chariot crashed over.

Kuidangnu only shouted twice, and was attacked by a young general, who swung his sword and cut off his right arm, and his handsome face stained with blood was in the middle of the fight, raising his sword and pointing forward, shouting: "Kill! ”

- Seal the wolf!

The white horse and the wolf rode fiercely at this moment, and no one dared to stop him, and the Quidangnu tribe that came up was instantly embraced by the other party like an iron fist, and the formation of the collision was scattered, and some were directly knocked over, and were trampled into flesh by the horse's hooves.

The cloak flew, Lu Bu waved the halberd, and the wave of qi that the halberd blade waved could knock people off the horse, and his eyes were faintly bloodshot, like a flame that went straight into the opposite riding formation.

- Peerless Pilot!

On the parallel side, the white horse and white robe galloped wildly, Zhao Yun had a green stalk in one hand and a gentian gun in the other, gritting his teeth and roaring: "Kill!" ”

- Seven in and seven out!

The surging cavalry formation behind Xirong tore open two huge openings, and the towering Daxu in the distance was faintly visible, and the two Yanguo Iron Riders were like two wild dragons in the dark night, passing through the grassland and hugging in the direction of Daxu.

Hearing the news, the whole person of the oblique Khan was shocked into a cold sweat.

"Where's the cavalry in my rear?!"
