1431 Rivals win

As time passed, the sky finally gradually brightened, and the rising rays of the sun sprinkled down on the earth, dispelling not only the wisps of darkness, but also the heavy pressure that shrouded the king's great array.

Xie Ai stood on the towering Ling Tower in front of him, overlooking the entire battlefield. Although he was the Governor of the Forward, he did not have the courage to fight in battle, because he did not wear armor, but only wore a thick robe to protect against the wind and cold.

This can also reduce the burden on the body, after all, once the big war starts, he must be careful here, and he must not leave, and the battle does not know how long it will last, so he naturally needs to save his physical strength, and there is no need to burden the armor that is useless at all.

At this time, on the battlefield in front, the corpses of men and horses were already in disarray, and the cavalry on both sides were still fighting fiercely. Even if Xie Ai was in the large array several miles away, he could feel the rich bloody aura through the tragic scene.

This kind of tragic battle is definitely a great damage to the cavalry who are not good at it, although the Wang Division has killed a lot of enemies, but its own losses are not a lot, there are ownerless war horses everywhere on the battlefield, and there are more corpses on the ground, almost covering the entire battlefield.

Such a painful price is not without gains, at least the attack of the Karma army against the large array itself has been greatly suppressed, so far except for the broken camp, the Karma army has not achieved any new results, of course, several surrounding camps have also been encircled, and have become precarious.

"The cavalry retreated and returned to the formation, and the battalions were ready for battle!"

Xie Ai ordered in a low voice, overlooking the entire large array, small battalions were scattered in the large array, and soon after, he was going to turn this large array into a blood-colored grinding disc to kill the soldiers of the Qi army!

Trumpets and drums sounded in the array, and flags representing various commands were hoisted on the tower, constantly changing. The people on the periphery still didn't feel it deeply, but on the Ling Tower, they could see that the entire camp was active, as if the dormant beast was gradually awakening, ready to choose people to devour!

After receiving the order from inside the large array, Xie Yi's tense heartstrings finally loosened slightly, and the remaining thousands of cavalry under his command rushed into the battlefield and began to evacuate the battlefield from near and far, receiving the cavalry comrades on the battlefield to withdraw from the battlefield and return to the formation.

In the rear formation of the Jin army, Ma Qiu's expression was solemn, and the arm holding the reins trembled frequently, as if he was about to raise it uncontrollably and ordered to continue to increase the troops, preventing the withdrawal of the Jin cavalry on the battlefield, but the left wing Wang Shi Fenwu Army was silent like a mountain, which brought him substantial pressure like a block piled up in his heart, and finally did not order an increase in troops, allowing the Jin cavalry on the battlefield to gradually break away from the battle and return to the big array.

This battle lasted for half an hour, and the fighting was so fierce that even Ma Qiu, a general who regarded human life as a mustard, was like a knife, and due to the overall disadvantage of equipment and fighting spirit, the ratio of casualties between the Jin army and the Jin army was almost maintained at two to one, and the lives of two Jin soldiers could be exchanged for the death of one Jin soldier.

If it weren't for Ma Qiu's personal presence in the battle array to supervise the battle, the battle would almost be unsustainable, and in the course of the battle, there would be no shortage of knights of the Qiang army who were frightened, rode their horses and wandered backwards, unwilling to join the tragic battle circle of human life harvesting, only to be forced to return to the battlefield again by the warning of the rear road superintendent and flying arrows.

As the Jin army withdrew from the battlefield, the cavalry of the Jin army began to gradually gather on the battlefield, Ma Qiu looked at it roughly, and couldn't help but gasp, and the number of people still standing on the battlefield was at least reduced by more than three percent!

As a highly mobile soldier, in conventional combat, such an astonishing loss is at least possible to achieve after several fierce battles, but the precious and abnormal cavalry force has become a pure expendable on the battlefield now.

After the Jin army withdrew from the battlefield, Ma Qiu also took advantage of this rare gap to withdraw several troops with heavy casualties from the battlefield and replenish them with the fresh troops on standby in the rear.

In this process, in addition to being vigilant against the dynamics of the Jin army, he was also carefully calculating the gains and losses of the battle at dawn. Aside from the astonishing battle losses, the first gain was to capture a camp of the Jin army, although it was only one-six-quarter of the entire camp of the Jin army, but it was a breakthrough from scratch, and the subsequent attacks will continue to advance inward on this basis.

There is also the cavalry hole card of the Jin army, even if there is no direct benefit in the current battle, but in the foreseeable future, it can avoid some potential hidden dangers and no longer cause unnecessary losses.

These harvests are still small things, and there is another biggest harvest for Maqiu.

He rode his horse slowly forward, looking up at the ever-changing Ling Tower in the Jin Army's Great Array, and his eyes were already full of fierce light. In the dark, he seemed to feel that Xie Ai's eyes were also watching him, and they had been at war with each other for many years, and they could be described as old enemies.

Taking advantage of the fierce attack launched before dawn, Xie Ai was prompted to leave the Chinese army camp and turn to the front to command the battle nearby, which was the biggest gain for Ma Qiu!

He launched this decisive battle with Xie Ai as the most important target, not only because Xie Ai had been his invincible lifelong enemy in the past few years, but also because he knew that Xie Ai was the absolute core of the Jin army's great array.

As the distance between them closes, as long as they can break through the many obstacles in this distance and besiege Xie Ai and snipe them, the Jin army will collapse without a fight, even if you do everything for this, it is worth it!

Xie Ai's life is worth his desperate gamble!

"Kill the southern thief Xie Ai, make the first contribution to this battle, and make a name for the marquis!"

Ma Qiu's arms were vain, his eyes fell on the knights of the Qiang army on the battlefield, and his tone became agitated: "My husband is striving for success and success, and he is famous in the sea, just today!" If you don't break the southern thief, you will not return to the city! Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The drums of Xiangguo Castle rang out in unison, and the battle continued with a terrible roar from Ma Qiu.

The soldiers of the Jin army on the battlefield, there were still 7,000 people, accompanied by the sound of passionate drums, began to rush along the gap in the camp they had conquered before, straight towards the Jin army camp, and the shouts of killing resounded throughout the world for a while.

Xie Ai's expression on the tower was still cold, and the cold wind blew the intermittent shouts of the soldiers of the Qian army, "Kill Xie Ai, seek to seal the marquis", he was only moved, but turned his head to look left and right and said with a smile: "It seems that Xie Mou's life is still too light in the eyes of the thief." That's it, just tell the lord from this battle, if you don't have the permission of the king, how can you shake me in the slightest! ”

At this time, in addition to some herald soldiers on the tower, there are more than a dozen young sages of the secret pavilion who accompany the army, in addition to watching the battle and calculating the merits, they are also responsible for watching the changes in the big array, which are recorded in detail as the actual basis for the armies and future generations of the art of war. Hearing Xie Ai's laughter, those Secret Pavilion sages couldn't help but laugh, just looking at the gaze of the forward Grand Governor, they were all full of fiery admiration.

On the front-line battle array, the Jin army began to pour into the Jin army's large array. In addition to the many camps that are scattered and intertwined, there are also many intricate moats of varying heights, which restrict the soldiers of the Qiang army from driving straight into a straight line, but can only meander.

Xie Ai's eyes were shining, and his eyes never left the ranks of the Qian army rushing in the big array, and constantly gesticulating, and his own soldiers transformed them into banners with different meanings.

With a flick of a finger, thousands of troops attacked, making the tower like a chessboard game, the clouds were light and the wind was light, but in the big array was the Jin Ge Iron Horse, and the killing sound shook the sky!

The young sages of the Secret Pavilion had the privilege of experiencing this realm in person, witnessing with their own eyes how the entire large array changed calmly, blocking and killing the enemy, and they were all fascinated for a while, and they were completely forgetful.

The primary target of the Qiang army in the battle formation was the Ling Tower where the former army Xie Ai stood, because as soon as it rushed into the formation, it was regarded as a must-attack target. In their journey, there were either high hill shooting towers, or deep ravines, or dense sword and chariot battle formations, or fierce crossbows and powerful bows.

In order to avoid these various obstacles, the Karma army could not follow a straight line during the rush in, they seemed to be marching forward bravely, but only those who were on the Ling Tower to see the whole situation understood that in fact, the path of these Karma soldiers was always under the control of the Metropolitan Governor Xie Ai!

Obviously, the distance of the Karma army to the left is closer, but this pass on the left is a layer of rejection horses, with the finger of Xie Ai on the Ling Tower raised, there are thousands of soldiers in the battle formation gathered here, head-on to shoot directly at the front road of the Karma army, if the Karma army is still stubborn to this, it is a corpse step by step, almost suicide, can only abandon this junction, turn to another road where the offensive is obviously weakened and rush in.

The Jin army in the battle formation also seemed to be aware of this problem, and they also tried to stay in an open area for a while or try to uproot a key stronghold, but often there would be Jin guards several times their size around this place, relying on powerful weapons to hunt them frantically, so that they had to continue to maintain the rhythm of advance, and continue to rush forward along the route laid by the Jin army.

So in the sight of the people on the tower, the Qian army was in this kind of bit by bit suppression and guidance, and zigzagged into a large array in which the Wang Shi had already set up the killing array.

This killing array is a gentle slope that gradually decreases, and the Jin army did not feel different when it first stepped on it, and it was very close to the direction of Xie Ai, the main general of the Jin army, and the terrain was open, which was conducive to the impact of the cavalry, so he naturally rushed up with joy.

However, as they rushed into Lixu, they suddenly found that the road had dropped extremely significantly, and the dirt slopes on both sides of the road were already on the same level as the war horses. And on the side in front of them, each Jin army infantry has already gathered here, and many cylindrical instruments are erected on the soil slope, each dragged and pulled by oxen and horses, as soon as they are pulled up, those cylinders suddenly spray out violent air waves!

Among the eight formations, there are not only weapons that can be directly used to kill enemy troops. Xie Ai was ingenious enough to use the bellows used for blast furnace smelting, and although the air jets from these bellows were violent, they could not bring direct damage to the Qi army, but these air currents would blow up the sand and dust heaps that were piled up here.

For a while, the wild sand flew all over the sky, pouring into the eyes and ears of the horses, the ears and noses of the horses, the eyes and ears of the soldiers, the eyes and ears were lost, like headless flies rampaging in this narrow area, but there were already Wang Shi's soldiers around him calmly drawing their bows and shooting the Qi soldiers who rushed into this realm one by one!
