After Kou Ying knew Chu Huan's request from Qi Sheng's mouth, his face turned pale, and he sneered like a knife.

Chu Huan proposed to let him go and apologize in person, so that he could show his sincerity, which made Kou Ying only feel that this young King of Chu was really a little empty-eyed and thought too highly of himself.

He didn't want to confront the Northwest Army at such a time, but that didn't mean he didn't dare to confront the Northwest Army.

"What else did he say?" Staring at Qi Sheng, Kou Ying tried her best to calm down her emotions.

Qi Sheng said: "He also said that we have no opinions, since we have a war letter, we should fight to the end, and he is not ashamed, saying that he wants to fight to the death with us here to determine the winner." Second brother, now that the matter is now, there is nothing to talk about, we will make a move when it is time to act, we can't hesitate anymore. ”

At this time, there were still more than a dozen large and small generals around, who heard Qi Sheng's words and asked for battle.

"Since he doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, there is no need for Ben to be polite to him anymore." Kou Ying clenched his fist, his expression became firm, and he beckoned to the generals, everyone gathered around, Kou Ying drew his knife in his hand, sketched it on the snow a few times, and then asked: "Is this the current terrain map?" ”

In the southwest of Huangling, there are 2,000 northwest cavalry, and in the northeast, there is the main cavalry in the northwest commanded by Chu Huan, with nearly 10,000 troops.

The 4,000 soldiers and horses led by Xu Chang are now besieged on the mountain on both sides, according to the current deployment of troops, once Xu Chang wades down the mountain to get closer to this side, the two northwest cavalry will inevitably attack on both sides, so when the main cavalry of Liaodong did not move, the Liaodong soldiers on the mountain did not dare to act rashly.

The 20,000 main cavalry of Liaodong led by Kou Ying was less than 20 miles east of Huangling.

"They besieged Xu Chang on the mountain, if we didn't have reinforcements, it could be said that Xu Chang was surrounded." Kou Ying looked around, "But since we came to help, the situation has changed, according to the general's view, now Xu Chang's department is not only not besieged, but has become a strange soldier of our army." "Smiled coldly," Xu Chang is trapped in the mountains, but in fact he has occupied the commanding heights here, and the four thousand troops are enough to become a great threat to the Northwest Army, once the battle is engaged, Xu Chang's troops can stay on the mountain and stand still, he is condescending, if the Northwest Army really wants to confront our army head-on, Xu Chang has become their worries, and he will definitely be able to contain the Northwest Army from behind! ”

Some of the generals smiled: "General, Xu Chang's four thousand soldiers and horses can not only contain the Northwest Army, but also really find an opportunity to rush down from the mountains at any time and launch an attack on the Northwest Army." ”

"It seems that Chu Huan is just in vain." Someone has already said: "According to the current situation, he thinks he has a plan, but he has put himself in a predicament, if we don't attack, once we fight, the Northwest Army will definitely be defeated!" ”

Kou Ying said in a deep voice: "Listen carefully, you must not despise the Northwest Army, if Chu Huan is really as easy to deal with as you think, the Northwest Army will not be able to get out, let alone fight Hexi!" He groaned slightly, and finally said, "Qi Sheng!" ”

"The last general!"

"You lead five thousand men and horses as the left flank, and approach the two thousand cavalry in the southwest." Kou Ying commanded: "This general will lead the main force to fight against Chu Huan's main force, once the two thousand cavalry are defeated, you can quickly go around to Chu Huan's flank and cooperate with Xu Chang on the mountain to jointly attack." ”

Qi Sheng immediately said: "General rest assured, the end will solve those two thousand men and horses in the shortest possible time." ”

Kou Ying said solemnly: "The general is still the same sentence, don't underestimate the enemy, don't attack from the east of your troops!" "It's best to move to their southwest, so that you can form a two-sided attack with the soldiers and horses on the mountain, and if the situation changes, Xu Chang's troops can support you at any time." ”

Qi Sheng was a little embarrassed and said: "General, five thousand soldiers and horses are more than enough to deal with two thousand cavalry, you don't have to go to the mountain!" ”

Kou Ying frowned, Qi Sheng didn't have much to say, so he could only arch his hand and say, "The last general will obey the order!" ”

Kou Ying looked up at the sky, the sky was already a little dark at this time, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "We are not familiar with the terrain here, and the night battle is not good for us, or!" ”

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and the horse galloped over, turned over and dismounted, and handed over a letter, which Kou Ying opened and glanced at a few times, with a sneer on his lips.

"General, what is this?"

"This is Chu Huan's war book." Kou Ying said: "He gave Ben General a limited time, saying that he was giving me one night to think about it, and tomorrow morning, if Ben General can't go to his camp in person to apologize, the two sides will set up a battle and fight it out." ”

"What a big breath." Qi Sheng clenched his fists and said: "If he knows what is wrong and withdraws his troops overnight, he may be able to save his life, otherwise he will capture this self-righteous guy alive in a battle tomorrow." ”

Kou Ying tore the letter in half, and said with a smile: "That's okay, we are not familiar with the terrain here, and Ben Jiang really doesn't want to fight them at night here, since he proposed to fight tomorrow, Ben Jiang will give him this face." The herald said: "The whole army rests in place, is on strict alert, and tomorrow morning, the male and female will be decided." ”

Although the soldiers of Liaodong spent the night in the open air, the situation of the Northwest Army was not much better, and they also rested in the open air on winter nights.

In fact, the soldiers on both sides had already smelled the smell of fighting getting stronger and stronger.

The physical fitness of the soldiers on both sides is not weak, and it is not difficult to stay up all night in winter.

It was Chu Huan, and it was just a simple tent as the camp of the main formation, the night was dark, and around the Yellow Ridge, the total strength of the two sides was already nearly 40,000 people, and there were tens of thousands of war horses, but the cold night was silent.

Chu Huan put his hands behind his back and looked at the night sky, but his expression was quite solemn.

"King, it seems that Kou Ying is preparing to fight us to the death." Wei Tianqing's voice came from behind him: "A big battle is inevitable tomorrow, do you have a good rest and recuperate?" ”

Chu Huan turned around slightly, and saw that Wei Tianqing was already standing beside him.

"Brother Wei, Kou Ying shouldn't attack the camp at night, and I've already made arrangements here, don't worry too much, you can rest for a night." Chu Huan said with a smile: "I can't sleep now." ”

Wei Tianqing sighed: "Kou Ying was lured out of the hole by you as you wished, but the Liaodong cavalry can fight well, and it is not easy to deal with, and tomorrow will be a vicious battle." ”

"I know." Chu Huan bowed his head and said: "It's just such an opportunity, we can't let it go easily, tomorrow's decisive battle, even if we are defeated, it is not the end of the world, a battle can still be lost, but Kou Ying can't afford to lose, and only at this time, he can't afford to lose, it is because he can't afford to lose, we have to fight hard, so that he and the Liaodong Iron Cavalry have no way back." Then he asked: "Yes, Brother Wei, over there in Huangling!" ”

"Don't worry, the king is ready." Wei Tianqing said: "As long as Kou Ying really attacks, our side will act immediately, but once we make a move, many people will die on the mountain." ”

"One will make ten thousand bones wither." Chu Huan sighed: "Being on the battlefield, either you die or I die, then there is nothing to say, they think that they can retreat to the mountain and wait for help, but they don't understand that from the moment they retreat up the mountain, they have already put their lives in our hands." But he looked up at the night sky again, was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Brother Wei, look at this night, will the morning sun appear tomorrow?" ”

Wei Tianqing said softly: "King, those who are good at the heavenly phase say that the dark clouds will disperse in the past two days, and the sun will rise in the east, if the heavens really help us, tomorrow morning, the sun will definitely rise in the east!" ”

Chu Huan didn't sleep all night, and after dawn, he immediately walked out of the camp tent and looked at the sky again, the clouds were floating, but there was no rising sun in the east, and the sun was still blocked by the clouds.

Chu Huan's expression became solemn.

It didn't take long for the sun to rise in the east, but the low horn sound had already sounded, the horn sound was like the earth choking, on the horizon in the east, there was a black spot first, and then the black dot gradually became larger, and spread to both sides, the speed was not fast, but the momentum was pressing, it didn't take long for the horizon to open a long black line, and then the earth seemed to tremble, the pennant fluttered, and the iron armor was sonorous.

The Northwest Army has already completed the formation, nearly 10,000 Northwest Iron Cavalry, facing the enemy in the shape of a half-moon, column by column, row by row, orderly and slaughtering atmosphere permeating the heavens and the earth.

Although the sky and the earth are cold, the blood of many soldiers on both sides has begun to roll.

Kou Ying took the lead, and when he saw the Northwest Iron Cavalry waiting for him from a distance, he saw the other party's "Chu" flag fluttering in the air, and a sneer suddenly appeared on his lips.

The sound of the horn in the formation, soon, from the top of the Yellow Ridge, also sounded a low horn.

Chu Huan also showed a hint of a smile on his lips, of course he knew that the Liaodong soldiers on the Yellow Ridge saw the arrival of reinforcements, and naturally their morale was greatly boosted, this with the horn sound of the reinforcements, although it was a response to the reinforcements, it was also a deterrent to the Northwest Army, obviously to remind the Northwest Army that there were still 4,000 soldiers and horses on the Yellow Ridge, and they could come down from the mountain at any time, which made the Northwest Army feel jealous.

Kou Ying led the army to slowly approach, and the clouds in the canopy seemed to be fluttering with the advance of Kou Ying's army, and suddenly, a ray of light pierced the sky and sprinkled down from the sky.

The rising sun, although it came one step late, but it still came after all.

Under the rising sun, several fast horses in the distance galloped automatically like arrows off the string, sparing the military formation, and came straight to Kou Ying's side, Kou Ying saw those horses, frowned, and didn't wait to get closer, the knight who came from Pegasus had already turned over and dismounted, rushed to Kou Ying in a few steps, and knelt on the ground, "Report, general, the big thing is not good, the grain and grass are burned!" ”
