Chastity Layman

The Tuyuhun army attacked like a tide.

Under the big banner with the word Qin, it was Qin Lang's family general Zhang Chao who was wearing the golden helmet and armor. Because he was about the same age and figure as Qin Lang, he simply asked him to put on Qin Lang's armor to pretend.

At this time, General Huo Guogong Chai Shao was actually in command of the entire army. Although Liang Jianfang, the envoy of the Zhenxi Army, was the general of the Right Army, but his qualifications and rank were low, naturally Chai Shao had the final say. What's more, Qin Lang did personally confess that Chai Shao would lead the left and right armies.

The three generals Murong Shun, Yifu Abao, and Xifeng Cunyi represent the vassals of the two armies.

Chai Shao was in charge of the central army, but he also called these generals to the central army. He did not let them lead the headquarters in person, but let the battalion officers below lead them.

"Everyone guards the headquarters, shoot and hold the position, whoever dares to fight without authorization, beheaded!"

Chai Shao said very bluntly.

Liang Jianfang laughed a little uncomfortably, thinking that Chai Shao's words were meant for himself.

"Whoever loses the army formation, beheaded!"

Ah Bao's descendants had different expressions at this time, and they couldn't guess what was going on in their hearts, but it must be very complicated, and Murong Shun, the eldest prince of Tuyuhun, saw the sweat flag of his father Fuyun Khan on the opposite side. , and brother Zun Wang Murong Cheng personally led the cavalry to kill him, and his heart became more and more uneasy.

Although Tang Jun was full of banners and flags, he knew very well that there were only more than 20,000 horses here, and playing more flags to bluff could not conceal the fact that they really only had more than 20,000 horses. Only the former armies of the left and right armies gather here, and most of the two armies are still on the way.

Especially the Longyou Army, the most elite of the two armies, only two thousand in total.

The most elite central army of the Northern Route Army is not here at this time.

Facing the Tuyuhun army attacking overwhelmingly, Murong Shun didn't know whether the ten-mile army formation lined up by Chai Shaoyishan could stop it.

"If you can block it, block it, if you can't block it, block it." Chai Shao seemed to have seen through Murong Shun's thoughts, "General Murong, those people on the opposite side probably want to stretch your tendons and peel your skin, so no matter what, you have to stand up." Stay, otherwise, the end will not be much better than ours."

Murong Shun's forehead was sweating, "Definitely."

Chai Shao turned his head to talk to Liang Jianfang again, but he wanted to draw the two thousand cavalry elites from the left and right armies to Liang Jianfang's command and let him take command, and also told him to take the two thousand cavalry to the forest behind rest.

"As the general garrison, you must not move lightly until the most critical time, and wait for my order."

"Duke Huo, the brothers in Longyou are not afraid of death."

"No one said that you are afraid of death, but good steel must be used on the blade, and the elite of the elite must be used at the most critical time, not for consumption."

These words not only praised the elite of the Longyou Army, but also belittled those soldiers who belonged to the alliance and subordinated in disguise, and even mercilessly stated that they were wasted.

Ah Bao blushed, but finally closed his mouth tightly.

"General Abao, do you have something to say?"

Ah Bao said slowly, "The sons of our Yifu tribe are all warriors."

"I think so too, so the right wing will be handed over to your Yifu Department, the left wing will be handed over to General Murong, and my central army will be guarded by General Xifeng. As for General Liang, it will be the rear army for the time being."

The second prince, Murong Cheng, was the first to kill, and he chose to go straight to the Chinese army.

Perhaps it was because he saw his eldest brother Murong Shun under the banner of the commander in chief of the Chinese army, he became more anxious and eager.

His offensive was like fire.

The central army is composed of Qiang soldiers from the various tribes of the party. These people used to be the vassals of Tuyuhun. When facing the Tuyuhun people in the past, they always felt inferior.

Many Dangxiang Qiang soldiers, who had received the military order early, got off their horses as soon as possible, took up their knives and axes to dig the ground, each dug a section of trenches, and then connected them to form a trench.

There are trees behind, so it is convenient to cut down some trees, use local materials, and roughly process them into horses and fences, and even the excavated soil is simply built into a sheep and horse wall to block the front of the trench.

The Qiang people had never done this kind of thing in wars before, but after marching with Qin Lang for a while, they got used to digging trenches and erecting fences when stationed in the camp, and they were quite skilled in their movements.

Although the time was short, these fortifications were a bit simple, but with their location on the hillside, they happened to be condescending, adding a lot of defense out of thin air.

Many sharpshooters were simply sent to the trees, which not only concealed, but also increased the range of vision.

In the absence of the general manager Xifeng Cunyi, several thousand commanders were in charge, all of whom belonged to several major departments of the party.

"The thieves have already been killed, but why hasn't Chief Xifeng come back?"

Several elders asked the captain of Xifeng Cunyi who came over.

"The general manager has an order, soldiers come to block, water comes to flood the earth, stick to the army formation, don't retreat, don't attack without authorization, those who disobey the order will not be pardoned!"

Several commanders looked at each other in blank dismay, "Is this asking us to fight dumb?"

"It doesn't matter if you stay or not, and it's not impossible to defend and defeat." Another commander said, there are so many people on the opposite side, and if they really want to rush to the field cavalry duel like this, they have no idea. Now they are guarding the hillside like this. Defense, I think it's okay.

"Let's fight first. Didn't Shuai Qin lead the Longyou army to divide his troops? Maybe it's near here, and he can come out at any time."

When Qin Lang left, he didn't say where he was going. Only a few high-ranking generals really knew where he was going. Most people thought that Qin Lang and his elite team were still ambushing nearby, so they felt confident.

The Tuyuhun cavalry rushed down the mountain, and the offensive was stalled.

The hillside is full of rocks, and there are many bushes and weeds. It is difficult for horses to rush, and the defenders on the mountain also started to shoot arrows at this time. The condescending random arrows are very lethal.

Murong Cheng jumped off his horse, holding a shield in his hand and a saber in one hand, roaring again and again, commanding the knight to dismount and charge towards the mountain.

The Tuyuhun soldiers were extremely sharp and mighty, and they wanted to break through the defense line in one go and kill the Tang army.

Chai Shao was under the banner, so he could see clearly.

"This is your brother?"

"Well, half-brother, not to mention feelings, in fact, he has always hated me for not dying." Murong Shun obviously has no affection for this brother.

"Your brother is fiercer than you, but he is obviously brave and without strategy. Doesn't he know the art of war, don't go to the high hills, don't turn against the hills?"

Any general with some experience knows the importance of the right time and place. The enemy occupying the high ground with their backs to the hills is occupying a favorable terrain. At this time, it is not conducive to a strong attack. In such a situation, although it is a field battle, in fact one side is like defending a city.

Chai Shao is an experienced general, so when Qin Lang discussed with him, he proposed to fight here, and he saw Qin Lang's thoughts at a glance, and he agreed with him.

"In any battle, try to look for the high ground with the back against the wind, the high ground on the right, and the dangerous terrain on the left. When encountering swampy areas and collapsed areas, you must quickly pass through them. For camping, choose a terrain that is dangerous on all sides and slightly higher in the middle. We Now based on this place, there are cliffs and high mountains to the east, dangerous mountains and the Yellow River to the east, and dangerous peaks behind, there is only one trail, and there is a wild horse river to the north, so we are in an invincible position."

For Murong Cheng to attack so forcefully, he obviously violated the taboo of military strategists.

A Bao said coldly, "General Chai's words are reasonable, but if we can't stand up to beat the master to death, it will be useless. Murong Shun took advantage of the situation and came here in full swing."

"Then he won't be able to kill him." Chai Shao was confident.

"Xi Feng Cunyi is not a great general, and the party Xiang Qiang under him may not be credible."

Chai Shao smiled, "Don't worry, they can still keep watch for a while."

"No need for reinforcements? In case of being killed, the Chinese army's banner will fall, and the whole army will be defeated." A Bao reminded.

"It's all about defending your own formation. If you can't do it, don't you have Liang Junshi's two thousand elite cavalry for reinforcements?"

On the opposite side, under the banner of Tuyuhun Khan.

Fu Yun watched the battle for a long time, and saw that although his son was brave, he led tens of thousands of horses to charge into the Chinese army, but he didn't break his mouth, and instead suffered a lot of casualties.

"The frontline defense of the Chinese army is obviously a group of party Xiangqiang, but they are so willing to fight to the death for the Tang people."

Fu Yun was surprised, so he beckoned two famous kings, "Each of you leads 30,000 troops to attack the left and right wings. If you don't hear the sound of gold, you can't stop fighting."

The Tang Army's formation lined up along the mountain for about 20 miles, and it completely occupied the northern foot of Yema Beach, facing the cliff facing the Yellow River on one side and the forest under the high mountain to the west on the other.

It is southwest to northeast.

The army formation lined up in a row was divided into about fifteen formations. Fu Yun watched for a long time, and could see that there were seven formations on the left and right wings, and one formation under the commander of the Chinese army.

Large formations and small formations are connected in series, seemingly independent, but closely connected.

Due to the advantages of the terrain, it was very easy to defend. At least Murong Cheng attacked the central army. The soldiers on the left and right wings didn't move at all, and they didn't move at all.

Fu Yun knew that it was impossible to rush into chaos.

Only the whole army presses up and fights hard.

Fu Yun is not afraid to fight such a tough decisive battle. He has a large number of people now, and the Tang army has been deep in the enemy's rear for a long time, and it has long been exhausted.

In the sound of the horn, Fu Yun threw out 90,000 of the 100,000 horses in his hand, and only kept 10,000 under the commander's banner, ready to call.

Murong Cheng's troops, who had already been blocked from attacking, could not help but cheer up and attack bravely again.

The 30,000 troops on each side also deployed together.

On the entire 20-mile-long front, hundreds of thousands of people were slaughtered in a group.

The 30,000 Tuyuhun and Dangxiangxie Congjun troops of the 2,000 Longyou Tang Army fought together with the 90,000 Tuyuhun army. With high slopes, trenches, horse rejection, fences, sheep and horse walls, and even woods, less than 30,000 The soldiers and horses formed fifteen army formations, resisting the attack desperately.

Arrows flew horizontally, people called horses neighing, and countless soldiers fell down every moment.

The Tuyuhun army attacked fiercely, and the Tang army was lucky to have a good location. The Tuyuhun army could only dismount and fight on their backs.

Chai Shao sat under the flag and said, "Bring me the pipa, and I'll play a song to cheer for the soldiers!"

Holding the pipa, Chai Shao really closed his eyes, sat on the mat and played the pipa.

A piece of Qin Wang's breaking the formation music, the sound is passionate.
