Woo!

Woooooo

The sun shone obliquely across the vast grasslands, and the sound of trumpets sounded after the ritual of worshipping the heavens fell.

Mighty horses rushed out from the dense tents, the corpse chased the evil khan's Daxu high in the sky, and 40,000 cavalry rushed up the grassland, for more than a mile, stirring up a huge dust to fill the sky.

The 40,000 grassland cavalry are mostly herdsmen, and the leather jackets on their bodies are not washed all year round, and they become hard under the wind and sun, among which only the 10,000 cavalry has leather armor sewn from the fluff of beasts, and the weapons equipped with them can be called the standard, and the spears and scimitars are all made of gold and iron sold from the Qi country.

"Corpse Chaquan, my son, I will leave you 10,000 cavalry, you have to guard your home, don't fall into the Yan State cavalry's strategy to lure the enemy!" The corpse chased the evil and patted his son on the shoulder, he divided 10,000 horses, leaving a 10,000 horse commander, and two big capitals, in fact, he was a little worried about this son.

Such words, Corpse Zhuquan was also very clear in his heart, but being deprived of the power to command the army, he naturally felt a little indignant in his heart, especially when he heard that the second brother Corpse Zhuquan followed his father on the expedition, his heart became even more unbalanced.

"Father Khan, rest assured, the child will take good care of the tribe!"

The corpse pursed his lips, bowed his head, and saluted his father with his fist pressed against his shoulder.

"Very well, this is my son!"

Here, the corpse chaser smiled and nodded at him, glanced at the one of the ten thousand horsemen and the two big commanders left behind, turned around and walked to the mount, turned over and got on the horse.

He tugged on the reins and turned the horse's head and ran towards the big rope erected outside the tribe, his voice strong and loud.

"Warriors of the Corpse Tribe, follow your Khan to conquer the Yan people who have stepped into our homeland!"

Call!

The dense cavalry shouted loudly, countless horses' hooves stepped out, stepping on the wet meadow, and the leading soldiers, the big households, the captains, and all the horses galloped one after another.

Layers of Xijon cavalry rushed behind.

The hooves of the galloping horses instantly formed into a roaring stampede, and the herdsmen, who were scouts, rushed to the front, constantly extending forward, left and right, probing the surrounding situation.

Dressed in armor with various animal fur splicing, the corpse chased the evil spirit, rode on his horse purchased from the Western Regions, and slowly moved forward with Daxu, gradually widening the distance from the front for several miles.

An hour later, the scout's information had begun to gather, and he looked at the information that had just been passed in his hand, frowning slightly, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"The commander of this Yan country in the south is very decisive, knowing that there is a lack of cavalry, and he is already waiting for us in the front."

In the past few days, he has reconnoitred the route, number, and configuration of the Yan army in the south, and has basically figured out the details of the other party, but for the king of the central grassland who has been fighting for half his life, he does not dare to relax his vigilance, after all, the fighting style shown by the other party is still limited to rapid advance and night attack, and he does not know the opponent's commander, command ability, and what style of play he pays attention to.

On his side, a 10,000-strong horseman came over and said in a low voice: "Khan, there is news from the scouts in front, seventy miles ahead, they have already met the other party's scouts, and it is speculated that the front of the Yan people should be more than a hundred miles away from us." ”

"Hehe, there are 45,000 people in the Yan Kingdom, and the light cavalry of the two armies is not more than a thousand, counting the scouts, but it is no more than a thousand, and it is really concentrated all the cavalry to the cavalry army in the east, and it can be seen that the Xia King of the Yan Kingdom wants to make up a 10,000-strong cavalry."

Listening to the sound of the surrounding horses' hooves, the corpse took off the iron helmet, and on the back of the slow-moving war horse, he straightened the two ermine fur long tails on the iron helmet.

"......Then let the Xia King of Yan Kingdom take a look, Xirong's cavalry is also elite!"

Commanding the cavalry, he immediately rushed out of the range of Daxu, sounded the horn to speed up, and in an instant, in the cavalry array that stretched out left and right, the horn sounded continuously, speeding up the march, and forming a second array with the cavalry running ahead.

Phew!

High in the sky, an eagle streaked across the vast green and snow-white grasslands below, and the eagle's eyes overlooked the vast grasslands, where there were dozens of places where two or three cavalrymen chased each other and fought each other.

Before the start of the war, the scouts of Yan State and Central Xirong had already started a scout war in the area where the two armies were tentatively probed.

Spying on each other's military situation and landforms, and then meeting, both sides hold their bows and shoot arrows, as scouts, almost all of them are horsemen in the army, agile people, arrows can not help each other, they rush to each other to fight, or call nearby companions.

After that, more skirmishes were triggered.

Soon, the fast-advancing Xirong cavalry, with 5,000 cavalry in front, came first, and the Yan State scouts immediately broke away from the fight, turned around and left, and went back to their own military formation.

The arrival of the Xirong cavalry was expected, and the Tang soldiers who had placed the military formation more than 100 miles away still felt a little nervous, they selected a few grassy hills in the wilderness here, and connected the grassy hills with arrays, and most of the archers lived on the hills, as the arrow towers to support the array in front.

However, with Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong, who have experienced a hundred battles, and the Tang army, which has slaughtered several tribes one after another in recent days, they will not panic, and after setting up a big shield and gun array, the foot shield is also seizing the time to load the crossbow with crossbow arrows.

In front of the front, there were still many people digging in the dirt, and when they heard the sound of horns in their arrays, they quickly crawled out of the pit, picked up shovels and rushed back to the front.

"Jingde, if you find the Great Seal of Xirong Khan later, the army will be under your command!" On the seven-mile line, Qin Qiong and Wei Chigong stood on a nearby grassy hill, looking at the thousands of soldiers running back in the distance.

The latter was dark-skinned, burly, and looked tough, but after all, he was old, and his voice was old and hoarse: "What are you going to do?" ”

"Charge." Qin Qiong laughed, patted the two iron shovels hanging from his waist, he led the war horse behind him, and said with a smile: "I haven't fought in battle for a long time." ”

At this moment, the sound of arrows sounded in the distant sky, and beneath the grassy knoll beneath their feet, the array became agitated.

Someone below shouted, "The cavalry of the Sijon is coming." ”

"It's coming!"

Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Gong looked at the distance and gradually showed a black tide, spreading from the end of heaven and earth, Qin Qiong muttered, turned around and walked back, turned over and got on the horse.

The military formation under the grassy hill also quickly checked the equipment at this time, and the generals and colonels at all levels issued high-pitched orders, and the 20,000-strong Tang army quickly prepared for defense.

The ground beneath his feet gradually felt a trembling sensation.

In the distance, the bow on the grassy knoll pointed into the distance and shouted, "Here it is! ”

Countless black figures formed a surging wave, and the sound of hooves spread up.

Li Xuanba put on an iron helmet, smashed the two iron hammers in his hand a few times, and thought of the second brother's advice to him, and threw the drum urn and the golden hammer to the ground with a 'bang' in frustration.

Hurriedly took out the military book and flipped through it, then dragged the burly body and walked to the array of two thousand people under his command, "Don't panic, we killed us, and our hands have been stained with the blood of many Xijon people, they are not invincible...... If you dare to get closer, shoot a bolt of crossbow arrows first! ”

In the slightly dim skylight, five thousand Xirong cavalry rushed forward, and they looked at the stretching line opposite, without the slightest timidity, and turned out their longbows behind their backs, and let out a ferocious roar.

As the capital of this cavalry, Wuya, has many battles with other tribes and fought against the cavalry of the western steppe.

He was ordered to take the lead, not to engulf the enemy on the opposite side in one go, but to harass and test the opponent's combat strength, the opposite array was orderly, and he had been stationed here for a long time, and according to his combat experience, the other party must have arranged a way to fight against the cavalry.

Iron Fang has a huge amount of confidence to support his own thoughts.

Hurry into the land of a stone's throw away.

He made a gesture to let the commander beside him convey his order, and the sound of the horn sounded in a moment, and the galloping war horses quickly changed direction, like a river diverted, turning out of an arc to the left and right.

However, in the next moment, in Iron Fang's field of vision, the warriors under the command who had just turned the corner and were about to draw their bows and shoot arrows at the Yan National Front in front of them fell to the ground with their men and horses, and one after another the war horses fell one after another on the advancing route as if they had hit the wall.

The cavalry that followed closely behind trampled on the clansmen or horses, and they piled up in an instant.

Trapped!

The sudden change made the majority of the generals instantly realize their thoughts, and they were already in the other party's calculations, but fortunately, the warriors under his command who were running on the left and right had already ridden away from the clansmen lying on the ground, and pulled their bows to return fire at the opposite front.

Dense arrows were thrown into the sky, pouring down like a torrential rain.

On the stretching front, without Qin Qiong's words, the generals of each array have already issued the word 'royal' order.

The tense Tang sergeant had already turned out the round shield on his back and held it above his head, trying to keep his body and limbs under the shield as much as possible.

In an instant, a rain of arrows poured in.

Crackling arrows bounced on one shield after another, or fell to the ground, and there were also screams from the mouth of the Tang sergeant. The archers on the grassy knoll also drew their bows, adjusted their distances, and calculated the trajectory of the Xijon cavalry, constantly throwing arrows at the path of the opponent's advance.

Puff puff......

The Xijon people who rode and shot were also splashed with blood in a moment, and both sides were tentative hands, shooting arrows at each other, not daring to advance at will, and the iron teeth saw that the other party was tightly arranged, and after approaching, they found that there were many horse pits, and immediately made a decision, sent an order to ride, and reported to the Khan behind.

After receiving the news, the corpse chased away the evil and quickly made adjustments.

"Let the iron fangs entangle the opponent's front formation, and 10,000 cavalry in the middle formation, bypass the opponent's front formation with me, and rush to attack the other army of the Yan people."

5,000 cavalry pinning down 20,000 people, no matter how you look at it, it is a good deal.

The remaining 25,000 cavalry followed the corpse to bypass the opponent's line, detoured from the left side, and penetrated directly into the rear of this Yan army.

Qin Qiong received the news and grinned.

"It's good to divide the troops!"

He turned his head and looked at the old brother, "This will be handed over to you when the time comes." ”

Above the sky, soaring huge shadows, staring closely at the battlefield.

Looking down from the perspective of the big eagle, the main force of 25,000 Xirong who had traveled several miles was still halfway through, and 10,000 people of the Tang army in the front were quietly separated and led by Qin Qiong to the rear.

In front of the corpse chasing the evil, under the dim sky, 10,000 Youyan troops, under the command of the commander Li Jing, built a defense in a place called Laida Lake, relying on a large number of chariots, and the lake as the right wing barrier, facing the main force of Xirong that was rushing around.

As soon as the two sides fought, the corpse chasing evil khan, who was close to the battlefield to observe, suddenly found that the number of Yan troops on the opposite side was not 20,000 in intelligence.

At the same time, in the hilly area on the left flank of the battlefield, a group of 10,000 soldiers and horses jumped out, and the general Zhang Yi led the soldiers and horses to block the east side of the Xirong cavalry on the battlefield, and behind the main force of Xirong, Qin Qiong led 10,000 people to quickly go south.

The 25,000 main forces of the corpses were ignorant of it, and then attacked by force!
