When the Long Xiang army of the Qiang Kingdom left the camp and marched west to the slipway, the speed of travel was not too fast.

On the one hand, because the Longxiang army is dispatched, the baggage and logistics pressure is too great, and the horse armor alone is loaded with dozens of carriages, plus the special matching horse materials required by those divine horses, so in addition to more than 3,000 Longxiang army soldiers in this line, there are more than 5,000 servants, servants, and hundreds of carriages accompanying it, and the speed is naturally not fast.

Another point is that the main general Shi Tao himself was cautious and did not dare to advance too quickly. Although he was heroic and fearless in front of his brother Shi Xuan, he was still a little apprehensive about Henan, which was active in the heart of the Jin people. Although the Longxiang army won the first battle, Shi Tao did not think that the Jin people and the king were vulnerable to the likes of the earth chickens and dogs.

The reason for this mentality is not that Shi Tao is more cautious or timid than his brothers, but that they have different upbringing.

Shi Xuan and several other elderly princes of the Kingdom of Qiang all grew up in the years when the country was thriving, and the elite of the Kingdom was unrivaled in the north and south, so they naturally gave birth to a kind of arrogance, thinking that they were the eldest and the second. This kind of arrogant personality that has been cultivated over the years cannot be changed overnight.

Shi Tao's age is far younger than Shi Xuan and others, and by the time he grows up and is qualified to participate in the affairs of the country, the power of the state of Jin is no longer dominant in the past, and the people around him are either fierce and inward, or worried, and their words and deeds all reveal their vigilance and fear of the Jin people in the south.

Although Shi Xuan and Shi Tao are brothers, the age gap in the past few years is divided into two periods, whether they have heard, experienced or felt, they are all very different, which naturally causes different views on affairs.

Shi Tao looked down on his brothers, the reason is also this, in his opinion, no matter what words and deeds these people are, although they are full of disdain for the southerners, they seem to be arrogant and heroic, but they are just a kind of unwilling to admit the fact that the family situation and the country's fortunes are declining.

"My Hu Yi physique, I was lucky enough to take advantage of the revolution of heaven and earth to steal the talisman, but how easy is it to use Hu Yi to govern China? Because it is a war with the southerners, it is necessary to be more cautious and cautious in order to maintain the love of the sky. For example, those stupid and dull people who can't judge the situation and blindly act on the strong, but the north and the south are still the old situation, and they will also die because of violence, and they will not be able to stand for a long time. This time, I left the camp to fight alone, and I also wanted to avoid suffering with him! ”

During the march, Shi Tao also had a small discussion with the henchmen of the army, and bluntly said that he was not optimistic about Shi Xuan, and felt that he was mixed with the guy who did not know the current affairs, and he might as well go out to chase merit by himself, so as to wait for the Lord to come south before making a presentation.

Regardless of whether Shi Tao is more intelligent than his brother for the time being, at least for now, his caution can be said to have saved his life temporarily. Because he left the camp and traveled west to the third day, when he was halfway to the slipway, there was a trace of the Jin cavalry on the road ahead.

Although Shi Tao didn't know that the Jin army he encountered was the Fenwu army of the southerners, but after hearing the scout's report that the other party's cavalry was strong and numerous, and even the ordnance ration was not inferior to their Long Xiang army, Shi Tao naturally knew that this time he should have encountered a strong enemy.

He also secretly called luck in his heart, because not long before, there were still generals in the army who were impatient with such a slow march, and persuaded Shi Tao to give up his weapons and soldiers for the time being, and go lightly, first conquering the slip platform with lightning speed, and then recuperate to wait for the follow-up.

But out of prudence, Shi Tao did not listen, and sure enough, he met the Jin people's strong army unexpectedly. If he had dared to have the slightest idea of underestimating the enemy's rash advance, he would probably lead the battalion to rush into the southerners' killing array at this moment!

It has been two days since the Fenwu army arrived at the slipway, and the main general Shen Yun was not lacking in resentment, when the Fenwu army came south to attack the slip and succeeded, his army had just arrived at the chasm, and soon after receiving the military order from his second brother Shen Muyan to go to the slipway to standby.

Although the Fenwu Army is a strong army in Taiwan, it is probably also facing the same troubles as the Longxiang Army of the Qiang Kingdom, that is, if you want to ensure complete combat effectiveness, the ordnance ration is inevitable. Unless it is just to compete for the opportunity like the attack on Longshang a few years ago, it can only drastically reduce the ordnance ration to increase the speed.

However, the Fenwu Army also has an advantage that the Longxiang Army of the Fenguo Kingdom cannot match, that is, the Xingtai family has a thick foundation, and the Fenwu Army also has more care for the elite army that needs to be traveled by all parties to participate in the war.

But Rao is like this, rushing from the chasm to the slippery platform, and asking to arrive in such a short time, it is not easy for the Fenwu army. What's more, the more convenient waterways of the big river are currently mainly used by the navy army that enters the west to the east of the river, so the Fenwu army can only travel day and night without getting under the saddle.

Shen Mu's urgent order made Shen Yun think that Henan had fought a series of battles, but when he arrived at the slipway, he found that these comrades between Qing Yan were still arranging troops in the presence of the old god, and the slander against Shen Mu in his heart was inevitably even worse.

After resting for two days, replenishing equipment and replacing war horses, Shen Yun was ordered to travel eastward, preparing to settle in the western border of the squill to wait for battle. It can be seen that Shen Mu did not ignore the fatal flaw of his tactics of counterattacking the Qiang, and arranged the Fenwu Army in the west of the Fortress in advance to resist the impact of the defeated Qiang.

But Shen Mu didn't expect that the Long Xiang Army, which was able to pose a great threat to his array, had left the fort a few days earlier, so that this counterattack could be described as hearty and unhindered.

And the elite army of the north and south, which was supposed to collide violently outside the camp of the Pier, is now also a fateful encounter, and there is no fierce battle in the Pier, but on the riverside hundreds of miles away from the Pier, about to start a fight.

The Fenwu army has been in the army for a long time, and after the previous prestige of Longyou, he has been recuperating in Guanzhong for a long time, and now he is also hungry and thirsty to fight, and now he has the advantage of fighting at home, so the reaction should be more proactive.

Not long after the scout returned, Shen Yun was also a little surprised why he encountered a strong division of the army here. He also thought that something had happened in the fortress, and even though he sent a thousand light horsemen to charge the enemy line. Whether the enemy is brave or not, take a bite first!

Shi Tao of the Longxiang Army of the Kingdom of Jin, although he is in the position of a lieutenant, but he really has very little experience in the battle formation and commanding the battle, and he is both nervous and excited at this time, and he is looking forward to the upcoming battle that is famous in Henan.

But before he could give any command, he saw a pillar of smoke rise on the way to the west, and then the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and soon there was no other murmur in the countryside except the galloping of ten thousand horses.

"Good time!"

Shi Tao straddled a war horse that had already been approved for armor, clamped the lance under his armpit, and ordered the heavily armored knights in the army to move closer to him, step out of the chariot formation, and ordered the rest to quickly merge into a formation to wait for the enemy.

He didn't dare to underestimate the Jin army on the one hand, but he also never lacked the courage to fight, and he was skilled in bowing and fighting lions and tigers, otherwise he would not get the favor of the lord and give him the military power of the Taiwei Mansion!

The southerners were not good at riding in the wild, and there were no good horse breeds, that was before. From the period of the Huainan Governor's Palace, the general invested heavily in the construction of the cavalry, never slack, and then through a variety of border trade, the four sides of the excellent horse breeds, Sichuan, Shu, Longshang, Hexi, Saibei, and even the base camp of the Qianguo Youyan and even more remote Liaodi, the horses in these places, in the past few years, have been pouring into Zhongzhou through various ways.

And the knights of the Fenwu Army are the absolute elite who are based on the years of battle and tempering of the king's division and the selection of the best among the best of the various departments, and the quality of the soldiers may not be said to far exceed the elite soldiers of the Qiang Kingdom, but there is absolutely no reason to be inferior!

Shi Tao's heavy cavalry has just assembled into a formation, and the rear car formation is still being tensely arranged, and the Jin army's light cavalry has already rushed to the front. Before the men and horses arrived, the arrows came first, and the arrows roared, swept through the wilderness void, and roared towards the heavy cavalry of the Karma army in front of the camp, so the clanging bells sounded in the Karma army array, and occasionally mixed with the wailing of men and horses rushing to the ground.

After a rain of arrows poured out, he did not stay in front of the formation for a moment, and with a turn of the horse's reins, he quickly bypassed the frontal battle formation, and went around to the flank of the convoy that was still in formation, and fired two rounds of arrows in succession, and then bypassed this place and ran backwards.

At this moment, Shi Tao in the cavalry formation was already pale, and he understood that he was a poor chess move after all, and he was a little inexperienced, so he made a mistake in the first formation of the enemy, and met the enemy with heavy cavalry, but was first restrained by the enemy's light cavalry coming and going like the wind.

Although the heavy cavalry and horses were armored and endured this round of killing, the casualties were negligible, but the commotion in the rear was loud, and it was harassed very seriously by this round of impact of the Jin army.

His mind changed sharply, and when he drank the order to let the rear light ride out of the camp, he planned to use the light to see who was better. However, as soon as this military order was issued, the second round of more than 1,000 light cavalry of the enemy army roared in waves, and once again gave the army a ferocious slap, and this time the disturbance was even greater.

Shi Tao's face became even more pale, he lifted his mask on the horse's back, looked back behind him, and roared angrily: "The back road is tightly formed, don't attack." Ride with me, storm the enemy's line, and slay through their camp! ”

Hearing the order of the main general, the army formation suddenly condensed again, and each of them held the horse lance tightly in the army, and the lance was slightly raised, like an iron stream, unstoppably rushing forward!

At this moment, the third group of rangers of the Jin army was also on the way to charge, and when they saw the other party's heavy cavalry rushing towards them, they couldn't help but be surprised for a while, and they restrained this momentum and avoided the road to the suburbs, and the military formation was a little commotional, revealing a sense of embarrassment. Although they are both cavalry, no matter how brave the light cavalry, it is an act of seeking death to attack the heavy cavalry formation that has already rushed to kill.

Seeing that the Jin army rangers were forced to dodge and flee due to their might, a series of laughter sounded in the heavy cavalry formation of the Jin army, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers of the Jin army was even higher, revealing a fierce arrogance that shook the sky and the earth.

The heavy cavalry of the Qiang army did not turn to attack the Jin rangers who fled into the wilderness, but unswervingly went straight to the enemy front to kill. Of course, the light riders are agile, and they can't catch up even if they want to. The baggage of the Jin army is also inflexible, and because it has sent too many light cavalry to charge the formation, it has not even been able to form a basic battalion formation at this moment.

Shen Yun was also surprised by such a fierce behavior of the Qiang army, the Fenwu army fought at home, and although the heavy supplies were not as large as the Qiang army, they were also quite numerous.

He had fought too heroically before, and at this time he had only thousands of soldiers of the Fenwu Army and more than 2,000 auxiliaries and laborers sent by the slippery platform, as well as heavy vests stacked on the carriage before he had time to take out the draped waistcoat.

The two armies have been able to charge each other, the distance is not too far, seeing that the cavalry is running on heavy horses, the momentum is getting stronger and stronger, and the distance is getting closer and closer, at this moment, trying to set up a camp in the same place to resist the enemy is almost looking for death.

So Shen Yun immediately made a decision, and ordered the army to retreat quickly, and for a while, it was a chaotic picture of people turning on their backs. Even if the heavy cavalry is not highly mobile, it is by no means something that those carrying heavy baggage can get rid of, so the retreat of the army is not enough, and the heavy cavalry attack of the army is about to arrive.

"Protect people and horses, abandon goods and go first!"

Shen Yun immediately ordered, and at the same time, he split the rope of a nearby truck holding the goods, and after the rope broke, the sackcloth bag on the car rolled down and fell to the ground, from which flowed yellow and clear millet and white flowers.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers and soldiers were even more excited, their mouths kept making strange screams, and they were even more inconsiderate of the horsepower, and the heavy knights who rushed to the front beat the horses to the death, and they were faintly out of touch with the rear formation.

The soldiers of the Jin army who fled to the rear, after seeing the general's behavior, did the same for a while, throwing all the goods and goods on the road, and then abandoned these cars and accelerated forward. For example, he gave up the goods of more than a dozen carriages on the back road, and finally distanced himself from the army.

Although the baggage trucks abandoned by the Jin people were all captured by the Qiang army, they also completely interrupted the momentum of the heavy cavalry of the Qiang army. These soldiers of the Qiang Army are really not afraid of death when they fight, and they regard human life as a mustard, but they are also very greedy for goods and goods, especially this is the supply of goods and goods for the first-class elite and strong army of the Jin Army, which is far better than ordinary military goods!

So as soon as they saw the harvest, these soldiers of the Karma army all smiled, and the Karma army who arrived first in the front directly stopped their horses, and some even simply abandoned their weapons and dismounted, and hugged those goods or fine armor that were piled up on the ground with their arms.

It must be known that the military law of their Longxiang army is not the norm, and in order to motivate them to use their lives in battle, the lord Shihu authorized the soldiers of the Longxiang army to be found in battle, and most of them can be kept privately, and they do not have to hand over all of them.

Therefore, they are brave in battle, not afraid of death, the so-called people are nothing more than money, food and goods, and now that all kinds are in front, who is still in the mood to fight again. If you don't occupy these captures in advance, you will be cheaper to the rear troops, and if you continue to fight forward, you will have to worry about dying in battle. At this moment, everyone naturally follows the truest choice of their heart.

But a large part of the lethality of the heavy cavalry charge comes from the unstoppable and powerful inertia, how can it be said to stop!

Therefore, after the soldiers in the front were greedy for money and horses, the knights who did not know what was in the back continued to rush forward, and soon, the front and rear stacked violently collided together. There was no need for the Jin people to return to kill and injure them at all, and some of the pawns who stopped rashly on the road ahead were directly knocked out by the iron bumps rushing from the back road!

Shi Tao was in the middle of the army, and the forward resistance and backward rush he suffered were also extremely violent, if it weren't for the soldiers on the side who quickly supported him, I was afraid that the whole person would be shocked off the horse by the force of the front and back clamps.

As soon as he sat down on his horse, he said angrily, "Why did the front stop in the front? ”

Without waiting for others to answer, he had already understood most of the things after seeing the mess in front of him, and his heart was even more angry, and when he looked at the Jin army formation that was still retreating, he was so angry that he almost spurted out a mouthful of backblood.

His face sank suddenly, and he waved his arm and raised his lance, and the lance directly pierced the body of a soldier who dismounted and coaxed to grab goods in the front formation, and roared in a cruel voice: "The relics and goods of the Jin army are still less than half, and there are still strong enemies to be killed in the front battle. ”

As he spoke, he raised his arms to the ground, and the soldier's body was thrown far away. When the surrounding Long Xiang soldiers saw this scene, their hearts were also awe-inspiring for a while, so they got on their horses one after another, sorted out the military formation again, and continued to rush forward.

Not to mention the reason for the decline of the drum again, the heavy cavalry charge is the most physically consuming tactic, because it is the charge of the army this time, the arrogance has been completely different from the previous one.

Especially when a part of the Jin army found that the originally scattered Jin army rangers actually wandered back again, and collected the baggage they didn't have time to sort out in the rear, they couldn't help but feel even more like a knife, as if their own goods were stolen. Although he was afraid of the general's authority and did not dare to leave the battle formation without authorization, the indomitable momentum could never be raised again.

The Jin army was still constantly discarding and carrying heavy goods, and as the team gradually lost weight, it was barely able to maintain a delicate balance with the pursuit of the Jin army.

Of course, with the heavy riding power of the Jin army, even if there is a reason for the decline of the drum again, it is not impossible to outflank the Jin army with full horsepower, but those soldiers of the Jin army will take the initiative to give up part of the baggage as long as they chase fiercely. In this way, as long as they chase after it, the Jin army will take the initiative to give up all their baggage, so why do they have to catch up and fight?

Although the Jin army retreated in a hurry, there were still thousands of people, and they were really in a hurry, and they might not fight back. Even if they can't beat them, who can guarantee that they will win? If a few people are killed by the Jin army, no matter who dies unexpectedly, they will be extremely aggrieved. simply kept a tacit understanding, and they could all save their lives by sharing the heavy goods left over from this journey.

It's not that Shi Tao can't see the Jin army's plan to disturb the morale of the Jin army, but this temptation that directly points to human greed, even if he can see it, he can't crack it. Because at the moment, he has to tighten his teeth, emphasizing military orders over and over again, and he is bound to chase and kill the Jin army that has been exhausted all the way in front, and it will be a complete success!

The Fenwu Army has rich combat experience, and there is no need for the main general to supervise and command on the battlefield, so it can naturally play a skillful cooperation. The light cavalry that had previously attacked the camp had now spontaneously gathered in the suburbs and then returned to the battlefield, and when they saw the general Shen Yun walking his dog to lure away the enemy's heavy cavalry, they were not in a hurry to help, but only divided hundreds of rangers to shoot arrows along the road to intrude, in order to destroy the increasingly loose military formation of the Karma army.

As for the other part of the cavalry, they directly swaggered into the camp of the Qiang army. After so many years of confrontation and warfare, it should be said that the state of Qian is also learning from the excellent experience of the Jin army, such as the formation of military vehicles in front of him, which is quite similar to the moon vehicle formation frequently used by the Jin army in the early years.

It can also be seen that Shi Hu came south violently back then, and after the defeat and loss in Huaishang, he did not gain nothing, and it can be regarded as eating a trench and growing wise.

Although this imitation of the car array is a bit nondescript, the chariot is not as good as the Jin army's chariot for both attack and defense, and the most important thing is that there is no naval army on the river to cooperate with the attack, but only with the power of the Jin army's rangers, even if it is an elite such as the Fenwu army, it is difficult to break it directly if you want to not pay for large casualties.

However, the Jin army did not have the slightest intention of breaking through the car formation, but just wandered outside the car formation to avoid the camp army rushing out to reinforce another battlefield.

However, the efforts made by the Jin army here were very fierce, and there were constantly cavalry trying to rush out, and relying on the situation that the Jin army's heavy supplies could not continue, they wanted to force back these invading Jin army rangers with a fierce rain of arrows, but several efforts were in vain.

Although the Fenwu Army no longer has an advantage in long-range strikes, the tenacity of the appendage is jaw-dropping.

After avoiding a few rounds of arrow rain, the soldiers of the Fenwu Army saw that the cavalry was about to rush out of the interception range they had set, and there were nearly 100 soldiers who were not afraid of death, and the men and horses were one, not avoiding the arrows, and rushed directly into the cavalry army!

Under the violent collision, hundreds of people of the Qiang army on this road were directly smashed to pieces, and the scattered cavalry was directly killed by the Fenwu soldiers who surrounded them later!

And after this attempt, the Karma army in the chariot formation finally settled, or they no longer had enough strength to launch another futile breakthrough like before.

There were more than 3,000 people in the Long Xiang army, Shi Tao took away more than 600 heavy armored cavalry, and more than 2,000 people stayed in place, and consumed more than 1,000 lives in the repeated breakthrough battles, although they also killed hundreds of Jin people, but in the battlefield at this moment, the Jin army has already locked the advantage.

As for the thousands of servants and pawns in the car formation, they were all terrified by the murderous battle outside the car formation at this moment, and they were all fighting malaria, even if they were driven away from the car formation, they were not the opponents of those Jin army soldiers at all, and it was more likely that they would flee directly!

"Fenwu Army, this is, this is the Fenwu Army of the Southerners!"

In the military formation, an enemy general finally realized that he remembered the banner of this Jin army, and after these words were spoken, there was already a dead silence around him. In previous years, they were also above the top, feeling that they were the destined enemies of the Nanren Fenwu Army, and they were eager to put their lives on the battlefield, win the first line, and compete to see who was the first strong army in the world.

But now, the dream is coming true, but it is too tragic for them to accept. In several charges, in addition to causing some casualties to the Jin army with arrows, they couldn't even exchange their lives for their lives in real hand-to-hand combat.

And the nearly 100 knights of the Fenwu Army did not avoid the arrows, blocked the enemy with their lives, and finally exchanged for the results of hundreds of Longxiang soldiers being slaughtered, which was also deeply engraved in their minds.

As for Shi Tao, who attacked the Jin army, he also fell into the situation of riding a tiger at this moment, although under their pursuit all the way, most of the southerners' baggage had been lost, and only a few thousand pawns were left to flee from Queen Cang, and the price paid by their army was that the men and horses were exhausted, and even some war horses were directly killed during the pursuit!

It turned out that unconsciously, they had been dragged out by the Jin army for more than ten miles. And the Jin army's seemingly hasty escape all the way was a process of constantly reducing the burden, leaving behind those burdens that their army had no time to pick up, but squeezing out their physical strength little by little until it was completely exhausted.

So this battle, won or lost?

In the end, the Jin army only kept three carts of goods, and these three carts were all human and horse armor. After noticing that the pace of the Qiang army in the rear was slowing down, Shen Yun still did not stop, and retreated a few miles again, seeing that the hundreds of soldiers and rangers who were following all the way also caught up, and began to shoot at the Qiang army formation with a few arrows, but the Qiang army still did not react excessively.

It was only at this time that Shen Yun stopped, asked people to pick out hundreds of war horses that were deliberately maintained and still had long physical strength, and put them on horses with the soldiers, hundreds of heavy horses and three hundred rangers on each wing, and turned back to kill the army. Although it was hard to walk the dog along the way, the Jin army did not dress neatly before, but it became an advantage later, even if there was attrition, it could still maintain a battle.

"Soldiers, follow me to kill again!"

Shi Tao knew that this battle was inevitable, he cheered up, raised his little physical strength, and shouted to the surroundings in a hoarse tone, but there were few responders, and some soldiers directly unloaded the armor and threw it to the ground in order to lose weight, revealing a tired face and panting for breath.

Shen Yun came back with a vigorous counterattack, and when he saw that a general of the enemy side led more than a dozen armor soldiers behind him, he dared to leave the battle and rush out, he waved his arm and swept out, but the enemy general waved the lance and barely held it, but the war horse under the crotch could no longer withstand the huge impact, his knees fell to the ground weakly, and even the knight general rolled to the ground.

Shen Yun did not hesitate, jumped on the war horse under his crotch, stabbed the knight to death on the ground, and then continued to rush forward in a majestic manner, and when he saw that those soldiers were gathered together in fear, he shouted: "Who is the main general of the enemy formation?" Quickly unload the armor and land, or you can avoid death......"

At this point, he found that all the servants were looking at the man who had been stabbed to death by his horse lance before, and he himself looked back with some suspicion, and then his face became ugly.
