King Hushan handed down an order: "All the officers and soldiers will work hard to suppress the thieves, and after the martyrdom, in addition to the promotion, the reward will be increased." ”

Put on the golden armor, personally lead the three armies, and counterattack the imperial uncle's military horses. When the officers and soldiers saw that the emperor was in front of the enemy, their courage was greatly boosted, and they shouted long live and swore allegiance.

More than 100,000 soldiers and horses were divided into four divisions: the front army, the left army, the right army, and the middle army.

Lu Qian pulled his bow and spear, followed behind King Kushan, and served as his personal guard. The room led the green-robed soldiers, plus a team of flying bear soldiers to protect Wu Yi and live in the rear army. Lu Qian saw that King Kushan frowned, knowing that he was not sure about this battle.

At noon, I heard the sound of a trumpet in front of me. The general of the Chinese army gave the order: "Dismount!" The cavalry jumped off their horses and walked on foot, but the king of the mountain and the ministers were still on their horses.

Lu Qian couldn't understand why the cavalry dismounted, and was quite puzzled. King Kushan smiled: "Brother, you have been in the Central Plains for a long time, and you don't know how to march and fight outside the Guan, right?"

Lu Qian said: "I was about to ask Your Majesty for advice." ”

King Hushan smiled: "Hehe, my majesty, I don't know if I can make it to the sun go down today." You and I are brothers, so why call me Your Majesty?"

Lu Qian heard that there was a bitterness in his laughter, and said: "The two armies have not been handed over, Your Majesty does not need to worry. ”

King Hushan said: "In the confrontation on the plain, the most important thing is horsepower, and manpower is second. ”

Lu Qian realized when he came to his senses and said, "Ah, yes! The cavalry dismounted so as not to fatigue the mounts. ”

King Kushan nodded and said, "Raise enough horsepower, charge into battle when facing the enemy, and you can move forward." It is a very important secret for people outside the border to fight in the east and west, and win every battle. ”

When he said this, the dust in the distance in front of him rose loudly, raising more than ten zhang high, like a yellow cloud surging on the ground. King Hushan pointed his whip and said: "Uncle Wang and the King of Chu have been in battle for a long time, and they are the great generals of our country, why do they drive their troops to come in a hurry and don't raise horsepower? Well, they have no fear, and they are confident that they will win." ”

Before the words were finished, the trumpets of the left and right armies were heard at the same time. Lu Qian looked far away and saw that there were two other armies of horses in the east and two armies in the west, which was a siege of five enemies and one enemy.

King Kushan's face changed color, and he ordered: "Form a formation and set up a village!"

The general of the Chinese army rode out on horseback and handed down the order, and when the front army, the left army, and the right army all turned back, and a group of sergeants nailed dozens of large wooden pillars into the ground with large iron hammers, opened the leather tent, and raised antlers around it.

In a moment, a huge wooden city was formed on the grassland, with cavalry stationed on the left and right, and tens of thousands of archers concealed themselves behind the big wood, and twisted their bowstrings, just waiting for the arrows.

Lu Qian frowned and pondered: "After this big battle is fought, no matter who wins or loses, my countless clans outside the border will have to be full of corpses. The best thing is, of course, that the righteous brother wins, and if unfortunately he loses, I should try to save the righteous brother and Wu Yi to a safe place. As for him, the emperor, it's just a matter of whether he does it or not. ”

Soon after the emperor's camp was formed, the rebel vanguard arrived, but they did not come forward to challenge, and the horses stationed in the distance could not shoot with strong bows and crossbows.

But the sound of drums and horns was heard incessantly, and groups of rebels surrounded them, forming a formation in all directions. Lu Qian looked around, but he saw the enemy troops all over the field, and there was no end in sight, so he thought: "Brother Yi's troops are far away, and he is outnumbered, so I am afraid that I must lose." It is not easy to break through and escape during the day, but I only need to support him until night, and I can try to save him. ”

But I saw that the shadow of the big tree in the camp was reflected in the ground for a short time, and the scorching sun was in the sky, and it was not long after noon.

I could only hear a few sounds of geese flying through the sky in a row. King Kushan stared at it for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "Unless you turn into a goose at this time, it will be difficult to fly with wings." ”

The king of the West and the general of the Chinese army looked at each other and changed color, knowing that the emperor had seen the appearance of the rebel army, he was already timid.

The drums beat in the enemy's formation, and hundreds of leather drums rang out loudly. The general of the Chinese army shouted: "Beat the drum!"

Hundreds of leather drums in the imperial camp also sounded. As soon as the drums in the army on the opposite side stopped, the shouts of tens of thousands of cavalry shook the heavens and the earth, and they rushed with spears.

Seeing the enemy's advance rushing closer, the Chinese general ordered the flag to wave downward, the drums in the imperial camp stopped, tens of thousands of feather arrows were shot, and the enemy forwards fell to the ground one after another.

But the enemy army followed one after another, swarming up, and the fallen horses in front became the arrows of the rear army. Enemy infantry archers, shielded themselves, rushed forward and fired arrows at the imperial camp.

The king of Kushan was quite frightened at the beginning, but when he came to the battle, his courage doubled, and he stood on a high place, holding a long knife, and gave orders and commands.

When the soldiers of the imperial camp saw that the emperor was personally supervising the battle, they shouted: "Long live! Long live!"

When the enemy heard the sound of "Long live", he looked up and saw the yellow robe and golden armor of the king of Kushan, standing on the high platform in the imperial camp, and under his prestige, he couldn't help but hesitate.

When King Kushan saw the opportunity, he shouted: "The cavalry of the left army is outflanking, rush!"

The left army was led by the southern privy envoy, and when they heard the emperor's order, 30,000 cavalry outflanked it from the flank. As soon as the rebels hesitated, the imperial camp horses had already rushed in.

The rebels were in disarray and retreated. The drums in the imperial camp thundered, and the rebels were defeated when they engaged in the battle. The royal camp horses chased forward and killed, and the momentum was very sharp.

Lu Qian was overjoyed and shouted, "Big brother, this time we have a big victory!"

The king of Kushan got off the stage, stepped on his war horse, and led the army to help. Suddenly, the horn sounded, the main force of the rebels arrived, and the rebel forwards turned back and fought, and in an instant, feathered arrows and spears flew in the air, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and flesh and blood flew sideways.

Lu Qian only looked secretly frightened: "I have never seen such a vicious fight in my life. A person who allows you to be invincible in the world in martial arts, but in the midst of these thousands of troops, it is useless, at most it is just to protect your own life. This kind of army fighting, and the group fighting competition in the martial arts is compared to it, which is a small thing. ”

Suddenly, the gong behind the rebel army was heard loudly, and Mingjin withdrew his troops. The rebel cavalry retreated, and the arrows rained down, stopping the formation.

The general of the Chinese army and the privy envoy of the south led the army to charge three times in a row, but they could not disrupt the opponent's position, but shot more than 1,000 sergeants to death.

King Kushan ordered: "There are too many casualties among the soldiers, so withdraw the troops for the time being." "In the imperial camp, Ming Jin also withdrew his troops.

The rebels sent two teams of cavalry to attack, and the Chinese army had already prepared, feigned defeat and retreated, and surrounded the two wings, encircling and annihilating all the 3,000 officers and soldiers of the two groups of rebels, and the remaining hundreds dismounted and surrendered.

With a wave of his left hand, the spear of the imperial battalion sergeant swung away, stabbing the hundreds of people to death. This vicious fight lasted less than an hour, but it was extremely tragic.

The main forces of both sides withdrew dozens of feet, and the open space in the middle was covered with corpses, and the wounded were moaning and wailing, which was unbearable.

I saw a group of 300 black-clothed soldiers from each side of the formation, wearing yellow hats from the imperial camp and white hats from the enemy soldiers, going to the middle ground to examine the wounded.

Lu Qian only said that these people were carrying the wounded back for treatment, but these black-clothed officers and soldiers pulled out their long knives and hacked the wounded soldiers of the other side to death one by one. After all the wounded were hacked to death, 600 people shouted in unison and fought fiercely with each other.
