In the middle of the night, Erzhu Xianzhong arrived near the Tahe Heights with nearly 10,000 troops, and the army was on the march, when the front sentry suddenly returned and reported: "General, ten miles ahead I found the Great Food Army, 10,000 infantry, 3,000 cavalry, and the distance they reached on the Tahe Heights is almost the same as our army!" ”

"Did the Great Cannibal also see the importance of Tahe Heights and want to occupy Tahe Heights first like us?" Erzhu Xianzhong asked suspiciously while being surprised. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Deputy General Tang Dingrong clenched his fists and said: "General, I'm afraid that this is the case, if they want to go to Fort Zanji to sneak attack the main force of our army, this force is too much!" ”

Erzhu Xianzhong immediately decided: "Order the army to advance at full speed and seize the Tahe Heights with a certain one!" ”

The flag officer immediately ordered the standard-bearer to light torches and convey the order to advance at full speed to the various units of the army behind him, and the marching speed of the army was soon increased by half, and the infantry also had war horses, and the cavalry and infantry increased their speed and galloped on their horses.

It was only four or five miles away from the Tahe Heights, and the Great Army quickly rushed to the bottom of the Heights, because the infantry of the Great Eclipse Army was the majority, and they were all on foot, and the Western Qin Army reached the bottom of the Tahe Heights before the Great Eclipse Army.

As soon as he arrived, Erzhu Xianzhong saw a fire dragon winding two or three miles ahead of him coming quickly towards this side, and he knew that the Great Food Army was also marching at full speed, and he could hear the sound of the infantry running from a distance.

Erzhu Xianzhong immediately ordered to the deputy general Tang Dingrong: "You take the infantry to the high ground and arrange the troops to wait for the formation, and I will lead the cavalry to charge and kill them for a while before they have set up the military formation, and then disrupt their formation!" ”

Tang Dingrong also knew that this time was the best time to attack, although it was inconvenient to fight in the dark, but this was also not good for the Great Food Army, now the two sides met suddenly, neither side expected to meet each other here beforehand, at this time, whoever occupies the initiative first, can basically determine the ownership of Tahe Heights, he hugged his fists and promised: "General be careful!" The last general ordered people to beat drums on the high ground to cheer for the general! ”

Erzhu Xianzhong nodded, his face was resolute and focused, looking at the fire dragon-like big food army coming quickly in front of him, he took out some steel spears from the victory hook and shouted to the sky: "The guards obey the order, the second, third, and fourth battalions are the middle army, and the formation of the front arrow is to attack the enemy cavalry with me, the first battalion is the left wing obliquely inserted into the right waist of the rear infantry of the Great Food Army, and the fifth battalion is the left waist of the infantry behind the Great Food Army on the right wing. ”

An urgent drum sounded, this was the order to attack, the herald used torches to transmit the specific content of the military order signal, and nearly 5,000 men and horses of the Guards rushed forward under the leadership of Erzhu Xianzhong on horseback and trotted forward.

Said, the leader of the Great Food Army, obviously didn't expect to encounter the Western Qin Army here, so he immediately stopped his horse, turned his head and shouted behind him: "Array, array!" Prepare to meet the enemy, prepare to meet the enemy, cavalry and follow me to meet the enemy"

The heralds of the Great Food Army moved quickly, and they rode their horses to the rear with torches held high and shouted: "The general has ordered, all the infantry are in formation, ready to meet the enemy!" Cavalry sortie"

Said could have directly led the Great Food Army behind him to meet the Western Qin Army in a different formation, but he really didn't have any confidence that he could withstand the impact of the Western Qin cavalry by suddenly leading the men and horses to meet him, and the soldiers were not mentally prepared to encounter the Western Qin Army here and start fighting, he thought that it would be easy to be defeated if he rashly met the enemy without preparation.

Said's idea is not unreasonable, but now the distance between the two sides is too close, the distance between them is only more than two miles, and with the assembly speed and formation speed of the Great Food Army, it is simply impossible to complete the military formation before the Western Qin army rushes over.

The infantry of 10,000 people was originally a long snake formation, which had to be arranged into several neat phalanxes, and it would never be completed in half an hour, but Said thought that he could use his 3,000 cavalry to block the attack of the Western Qin army, but he didn't know that Erzhu Xianzhong didn't open his eyes to his 3,000 cavalry at all, and only used 3,000 people to deal with him, and the other 2,000 cavalry attacked the 10,000 infantry in the rear from the left and right flanks.

In the nearly 1,000-meter horse gallop, three thousand cavalry of the Western Qin Army under the leadership of Erzhu Xianzhong completed the arrangement of the arrow formation in the dark night, and before he got close to contact, Said saw a large number of oncoming torches placed into a huge arrow straight over, although he already knew that the cavalry of the Western Qin Army was powerful, but he did not expect that the Western Qin cavalry could complete the formation in such a short time and on the march, he was shocked, it was too late to change the order at this time, and the rain of arrows fell from the sky. The cavalry around him fell to the ground one by one, and he and his soldiers also returned fire with bows and arrows, and the two sides fired several rounds in a row in each other's charges, with the Western Qin army shooting five rounds and the Great Food Army only three rounds.

After these rounds of cavalry shooting, the two sides immediately abandoned their bows and picked up weapons to prepare to charge at close range, the Western Qin army picked up the spear, and the big food army picked up the scimitar, "boom", the front of the two sides collided together, people turned over on their backs, the sound of gold and iron resonance spread far away, and the screams spread throughout the battlefield.

The loose cavalry of the Great Eclipse Army were swept to pieces in an instant like fallen leaves swept away by the autumn wind under the impact of the cavalry of the Western Qin Army arranged in a dense and neat formation, and the vast majority of the Great Eclipse Army were knocked away, trampled to death, and penetrated by spears without knowing what was going on.

The light cavalry equipped with spears in the process of sprinting is much stronger than the big food army equipped with short knives and scimitars, if you fight at close range, the combat effectiveness of the big food army equipped with short knives and scimitars will not be much weaker than the cavalry of the Western Qin army, but the Western Qin cavalry will definitely not give the other party this chance to fight, otherwise the strict and dense military formation will not become an ornament? Although the cavalry of the Western Qin army was not afraid of melee with the enemy.

Only one charge, the cavalry of the Western Qin army under the leadership of Erzhu Xianzhong killed Said's 3,000 cavalry, this charge made Saide lose more than half of the cavalry, and when he turned around, he found that he had suffered heavy casualties, and at this time Erzhu Xianzhong had already taken his men and horses to divide into two teams and returned from the left and right flanks.

Said didn't have time to think about it, he could only take the rest of the Great Food Cavalry to meet him again, the Great Food Army cavalry rushed to the left of the Western Qin Army under his leadership, and the left West Qin Army was fearless to catch up, the two sides were fighting together, but at this time the West Qin Army on the right side was outflanked from the side, the Great Food Army was afraid, and then went to the fighting spirit, and fled one after another, how Saeed restrained could not save the defeat, in the chaos, he was hit by the chaotic soldiers, fell off the horse and passed out.

Erzhu Xianzhong led the troops to chase and kill for a while, killing some of the fleeing cavalry of the Great Food Army and gave up, he led the army to the scene of the assembly of the infantry of the Great Food Army, and the two cavalry battalions of the Western Qin Army that had been obliquely inserted into the rear of the flanks of the infantry of the Great Food Army from the left and right wings were rushing back and forth in the chaotic infantry of the Great Food Army, like two fire dragons turning over the river and the sea, and the army formation of the 10,000 Great Food Army infantry was killed and wounded heavily before it had time to be deployed, and the infantry army formation that had not been formed was on the verge of collapse. And the arrival of Erzhu Xianzhong with a large army became a straw that crushed the infantry of the Great Eclipse.

The 3,000 cavalry were defeated, and now the infantry formation, regardless of the command, and the Great Food Infantry, who could no longer see hope, began to break and flee despite the constraints of the officers and generals.

The small town of Nabid.

Mansour, who was dealing with official documents, hit a hatche, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, Mansour looked at the tea in the cup and shook his head, he hated the Tang people very much, he really didn't want to drink the Tang people's tea, but he couldn't do without this thing, if he didn't drink tea, he always felt that something was missing in his life, he was tired when dealing with official business, and he was immediately refreshed when he drank a cup of tea, and this tea was really something that he couldn't stay away from and refuse.

The Minister of Intelligence walked in quickly and saluted: "The commander of the believers, General Said led his troops to occupy the Tahe Heights, but he did not expect to encounter the Western Qin army nearby that also wanted to occupy the Tahe Heights, and the two sides were fighting, and the situation was extremely unfavorable to our army!" General Said may be defeated! ”

The pen in Mansour's hand slipped from his hand, his face changed, and he couldn't help but stand up and said in a lost voice: "How could you encounter the Western Qin Army?" Isn't there a chance that Said will win? ”

The Minister of Intelligence said: "The soldier who reported from the front said that Said's 3,000 cavalry had been defeated, and now the cavalry of the Western Qin Army is attacking our 10,000 infantry, and I really have no confidence that the infantry can block the attack of the cavalry of the Western Qin Army!" ”

Mansur no longer bothered to deal with the official documents at this time, and he immediately shouted: "Order all the people in all departments of the army to enter a state of alert and combat readiness, and quickly spread that all the ministers and generals will discuss!" ”

The whole town of Nabid was boiling in a matter of minutes, and the sleeping soldiers in armor and weapons ran out of their tents and assembled under the command of their officers and generals, while the ministers of the Great Food Nation and some of the leading generals rushed from their tents to Mansour's camp.

Mansur said with a serious expression: "I ordered the whole army to assemble and prepare for battle, and sent someone to call you all over because General Said's men and horses encountered the Western Qin army near the Tahe Heights, and the two sides had a big battle, his 3,000 cavalry was defeated, and his life and death are unknown, and now the Western Qin army is attacking our remaining 10,000 infantry, and the situation is very unfavorable to us!" Tell me, what should we do now? ”

The Minister of Agriculture stood up and said: "Commander of the Believers, I don't think we can let the Western Qin army occupy the Tahe Heights, the Tahe Heights are too close to us, the Western Qin only needs a short time to rush here, the threat to us is too great, now we must immediately send troops to reinforce, it is bound to occupy the Tahe Heights and seize the initiative!" ”
