Chapter 10 Winning the Central Plains Section 34 Han Sui was extremely angry when he heard that the Qiang people had disobeyed military orders and left the battlefield without authorization to pursue the iron cavalry in northern Xinjiang.

Ling Ru hurriedly persuaded. At present, the enemy's forces have been exposed, and the iron cavalry of the Northern Frontier Army has appeared on both flanks of the battlefield as we expected.

If Xu Rong still had troops in his hands, he should be used as a reserve reinforcement in Wannian City, and he would not be immediately put into the battlefield.

Ling Ru therefore suggested that Han Sui let Gao Gan command the main force into the right flank battlefield to encircle and annihilate the enemy army.

"The Qiang people left the battlefield without authorization, resulting in too few iron cavalry on the right flank to protect the enemy while the main force surrounded the enemy." Han Sui said worriedly,

"If Xu Rong's reserve forces are all iron cavalry, then our main infantry army will not be able to quickly surround the enemy army, on the contrary, they may be attacked head-on by the enemy cavalry."

"Xu Rong may not still have an iron horse in his hands." Han Yi stepped forward and approached Han Sui and said,

"Now the right flank of the Northern Frontier Army is the Duliao camp, the left flank is the Huns, and the middle road has not seen the appearance of the iron cavalry so far. The Northern Xinjiang Army had limited strength in the middle, and without iron cavalry to protect its flanks, it could not resist the attack of Meng Qi (Ma Chao) at all. The Northern Frontier Army will not give up the middle lane and let us easily divide its left and right wings, so if Xu Rong still has troops in his hands now, he will immediately reinforce the middle lane. Han Yi pointed to the battlefield and said confidently,

"Whether the Northern Frontier Army still has iron cavalry, we will know immediately."

"Knock knock, knock knock......" At this time, the drums on the middle battlefield suddenly sounded in unison, which was also mixed with golden gongs

The sound of "clang" and the horn were hurried

"Woo Woo the middle of the Xinjiang army is retreating." Ling Ru took a closer look at the rapidly moving battle flags on the battlefield, and suddenly exclaimed happily,

"You see, their battle flags are retreating......" Han Sui's face changed slightly, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

Maybe Xu Rong really only has so many iron horses in his hands.

"My lord, urgently order the senior cadres to attack immediately." Ling Ru urged repeatedly. Han Sui stroked his long beard and groaned for a long time,

"Wait. Tell Gao Gan, please be patient, don't be in a hurry, don't attack blindly, and wait for me to draw iron cavalry to cover his flanks. ”

"Tell the horse to play urgently, immediately send someone to call the Qiang cavalry back and re-enter the battlefield."

"Tell Ma Chao not to send iron cavalry to support the high-ranking cadres on the right wing for the time being, and concentrate on chasing and killing the enemy army in the middle first."

"Order Yan Xing, take three thousand elites, immediately enter the middle lane, and join Ma Chao to besiege and kill the enemy army in the middle lane."

"My lord, wait any longer, the Northern Frontier Army on the right-wing battlefield may retreat in great strides and reduce the distance between it and the city, and we may lose the opportunity to annihilate the enemy." Ling Ru exhorted loudly,

"Let's start a siege immediately."

"Since Xu Rong dares to force me to fight a decisive battle with him, he must rely on it. The withdrawal of the army in the middle of the road now does not mean that he has no reserves at his disposal. We have to be careful, and we have to be sure that he has no more troops in his hands before he can make the final blow and make sure that nothing is lost. Han Di shook his hand and said,

"In addition, if we defeat the middle of the Northern Frontier Army first, we can not only cut off the mutual support of their two flanks, but also quickly mobilize iron cavalry to support the battlefield on both flanks, which is conducive to us controlling the battle situation in advance." Ling Ru wanted to persuade again, but Han Sui waved his hand very resolutely,

"Give the order." Yan Xing rushed into the battlefield with three thousand elite iron horsemen. At this time, Ma Chao was at a loss.

In the process of retreating, the defense of the various battle formations was extremely tight, and the cooperation between them did not show the slightest flaw.

The Xiliang people tried to charge several times, but they were all beaten back by a dense stream of long arrows and roaring ballistas, and they lost dozens of horsemen in vain.

Yan Xing's support greatly lifted Ma Chao's spirits, and he ordered Jiang Feng to lead a thousand iron cavalry to line up, frontal containment, and he and Yan Xing each led men and horses to attack the flank of the Northern Frontier Army, intending to

The technique of "oblique cutting" destroyed the defense of the Northern Frontier Army. However, the Northern Frontier Army had already withdrawn to the predetermined position, about 500 paces from the city.

The soldiers regrouped as quickly as possible and rebuilt strongly

"Bastion". Yan Xing and his 3,000 soldiers were like rainbows, and they rushed through the arrow array, like a raging hurricane, overwhelmingly crashing into the battle formation of the Northern Frontier Army.

Probably because of the time tension, the battle formation was not firm, and Yan Xing's subordinates were not afraid of life and death, and under the repeated impacts, they actually crashed away

The "black city wall" forcibly broke into the battle formation. In order to kill the enemy, the captain Wang Fang led a team of fierce soldiers to pounce fiercely.

After a bloody battle, the Xiliang people left dozens of corpses, and the gap was gradually blocked. But at this moment, the Xiliang people organized an even more fierce charge.

The royal family was exhausted, but he continued to fight with his soldiers. A wounded horse roared towards him, and several shield-bearers were caught off guard and flew into the air, and the royal chamber and the three spearmen standing behind the shield-bearers pierced four spears into the horses' chests and abdomen almost at the same time.

The war horse neighed in pain, and its huge body took a few more steps, and finally fell to the ground with a bang. The royal house closest to the war horse couldn't dodge, and was knocked to the ground by the war horse that fell to the ground with a bang.

Before he could stand up, the Xiliang rider on horseback had already roared loudly and stabbed into the back of the royal house.

The royal family screamed and died in a fit of rage. The death of the royal family greatly hit the morale of the Northern Xinjiang Army, although the soldiers roared like thunder and fought bravely, but the gap in the battle formation was getting bigger and bigger.

He Feng came with the support of the guards.

"Stand shield, stand shield ......" He Feng shouted hoarsely,

"Brothers, raise your spears and slay the enemy." The Xiliang Iron Cavalry rushed up, and the sturdy war horses were frantically slamming into the tall shields under the whip of the cavalry.

The crook curled up, his feet firmly pinned to the ground, and he used all his strength against the shield. Suddenly, there was a loud bang behind him, and the liar was like a lightning strike, and his body flew up involuntarily.

A pair of big hands fell from the sky and pushed him back fiercely,

"Resist, resist ...... for me" The liar saw He Feng and exclaimed: "My lord, I can't stand it, I can't stand it......"

"If you can't stand it, give it to me." He Feng rushed up and hugged his waist.

"Come, hard, hard......" Huangfu Li stretched out his hand and knocked on the case,

"Hurry up. If you play chess like this, you won't be able to finish it at night. ”

"Are you in a hurry?" Xu Rong looked at him with a smile,

"Your chess skills have improved a lot, and I can't cope with it."

"Adults are busy with political affairs, and chess skills will inevitably decline." Huangfu Li smiled,

"I have been filial piety for three years, and I have been dealing with chess pieces all day long, and my chess skills have certainly improved." Xu Rong hesitated, holding the chess pieces and not making a move.

"My lord, Han Sui increased his troops in the middle and is fighting to the death around He Feng." Chen Wei hurriedly walked over,

"Lord Duan asked to fight, you see......"

"Reinforcement in the middle? How many people? Xu Rong stared at the chessboard with his eyes and asked casually.

"About four or five thousand people, judging from the banner, it is Yan Xing's army."

"That's Han Sui's elite iron horse." Huangfu Li said in surprise,

"It seems that Han Sui wants to defeat our middle lane and cut off the connection between the left and right flanks of our army. In other words, he does not want to use the main force to attack for the time being. Xu Rong looked up at the sky.

"It's still early, and it is estimated that he will have to wait, so that he can not only consume our troops, but also find out the deployment of our troops."

"Once Han Sui learns that the Qiang people have been ambushed, he must know that we still have troops at hand. In the absence of any way to judge how much strength we have, it is highly likely that he will order the withdrawal of Chang'an. Chen Wei said worriedly,

"Han Sui must be allowed to throw all his troops on the battlefield as soon as possible, and I am afraid that something will change."

"Where is Hu Zi (Wei Jun) now?" Xu Rong asked suddenly.

"According to your order, he should have crossed the Jingshui River from the direction of Chiyang last night, if nothing else, he is now about to reach Gaoling, about a hundred miles from the battlefield."

"Send someone to meet him at once, and tell him to speed up the march, and he must rush to the battlefield before dusk." Xu Rong said,

"In addition, I urgently inform Yan Rou and Liu Bao that the Duliao camp failed to lure the Xiliang people away from the battlefield and could not implement an ambush strategy, and asked them to return to the battlefield quickly." Chen Wei bowed down and agreed,

"My lord, Lord Duan asked to go to battle, reinforcements in the middle lane, you see ......"

"Who is the madman? forced him to be anxious, and Ma Chao and Yan Xing both suffered big losses. Xu Rong shook his head casually, put the chess piece in his hand to his lips and licked it,

"Tell Zhang Baiqi to take the initiative to attack and quickly form a counteroffensive on the left and right flank battlefields."

"But......" Chen Wei said hurriedly,

"The Qiang people will be surrounded and annihilated soon, and Han Sui will get the news immediately, if it ......"

"We don't get support in the middle, but both wings are counterattacking at the same time, this is the best opportunity for Han Sui to encircle and annihilate one of our wings, I believe he will not miss it." As Xu Rong spoke, he put the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard, and when the chess pieces were in place, he hurriedly put the chess pieces back.

"Brother Zilie, don't regret it." Huangfu Li immediately stretched out his hand to stop it.

"Do I regret it?" Xu Rong turned his head to look at Chen Wei. Chen Wei smiled lightly and shook his hand again and again,

"No, I didn't see the adults fall off."

"How can you open your eyes and tell nonsense?" Huangfu Li complained dissatisfiedly,

"Brother Zilie was obviously a repentant son just now." Xu Rong frowned slightly, and looked at Chen Wei with a smile. Chen Wei comprehended, turned around and ran.

Ten miles southeast of the battlefield, the Xiaowei River. Liu Ming galloped all the way with the iron horse. Due to the continuous galloping, the horses were physically exhausted, and their speed became slower and slower.

And the Qiang people who were in hot pursuit were the same, in order to maintain the physical strength of the war horse, they had to slow down.

The two armies approached one after the other, gradually approaching the canal.

......Suddenly, a long horn spread throughout the sky with the fresh river breeze. Then, the Qiang people saw a scene that made them despair.

Countless iron riders appeared on the riverbank, stretching from one end of the sky to the other, densely packed, like a lush forest suddenly appearing on the riverbank.

Chang Chang grabbed the reins of the horse. The war horse suffered pain, stood upright, and neighed with its neck up. There was an ambush, and the Northern Xinjiang Army even had iron cavalry lying in ambush under the canal, waiting for him to die.

Fooled.

"Withdraw, quickly withdraw...... "Chang Chang opened his throat and shouted hoarsely,

"Quickly withdraw ......" All the Qiang people stopped their horses at the first time, then turned their horses' heads, and ran away.

Just now, in order to chase and kill the Huns, the Qiang people drove their horses to chase ten miles, and the people and horses were exhausted, and they couldn't run even if they wanted to.

"Hohoo...... Ho ho ...... "The roar of the northern Xinjiang army was like thunder, and the 15,000 iron horsemen under the leadership of Pang De, Tie Yue, Nie Xiao, and Bu Du Geng poured down like a flood that broke the embankment, accompanied by a deafening roar, the mighty flood destroyed and decayed, and all the creatures in the field were trampled under the iron hooves and swept away.

Liu Ming and the Hun cavalry stopped their horses panting and turned to look at the battlefield. One by one, the Qiang people lay on the back of their horses, beating their horses fiercely, eager to leave this place of death in an instant.

Blood filled the field, and the fear of death took over their hearts, causing them to lose their courage and fighting spirit.

All they have on their minds is to flee, and the farther away they are, the better. The Northern Frontier Army was like a bloodthirsty beast, opening its bloody mouth, stretching out its sharp claws, roaring all the way, devouring its prey unscrupulously.

After a period of frantic galloping, Nie Xiao and Budu led the army to plug in from both wings and successfully encircled the Qiang people.

Pound and Tie Yue each rushed into the enemy formation with a large army like two sharp long arrows, and they were overwhelming.

For a time, arrows flew sideways, severed limbs and stumps flew all over the sky, and the Qiang people, who had no power to fight back, were bloodily slaughtered.

"Go, go, kill it......" Liu Ming's blood boiled, and he smashed his fist on the horse's back, and the war horse neighed loudly, jumped into the air, and galloped towards the battlefield.

The Huns cheered in unison, raised their weapons, and roared to kill. Chang Chang and Mo Rope took the lead in killing with their own personal guards, and they tore through the encirclement of the Northern Xinjiang Army and fled in the direction of the Weishui River with about 2,000 people.

Pang De and Tie Yue led the army to chase after only more than a mile before ordering the pursuit to stop.

"Why don't you chase?" Nie Xiao asked angrily. He and his subordinates were originally Qiang people living in the Huangzhong region of Jincheng, but since they were forced to leave Xiliang, Huangzhong has been occupied by Qiang tribes from other places, and many of their people have become slaves of these tribes.

Over the years, Nie Xiao has always wanted to return to Xiliang, return to his homeland, and rescue his own people. Chang Chang is now the leader of the tribe in Huangzhongqiang, and he is the enemy that Nie Xiao is bound to kill quickly.

So when he saw Pound give the order to stop the pursuit, he was furious.

"This is just a small ambush, not a decisive battle, the battlefield of our decisive battle is in Wannian City, ten miles away." Pound hurriedly explained,

"We are about to rush to the battlefield and engage tens of thousands of enemies, so we need time and a lot of physical strength."

"Old Nie, if you want to return to Xiliang, you must first defeat Han Sui." Tie Yue persuaded,

"Han Sui is not dead, Xiliang is his, you don't want to take a step." Nie Xiao thought of the dead Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, and thought of those brothers who left their homes and died outside the Saiwai, and suddenly became angry.

"Let's go, let's go to the ...... of Ten Thousand Years City" jumps to
