The elite cavalry of Duan Xianbei, under the influence of the series of sudden incidents at this time, had lost their normal command system, and Duan Ji and other Xianbei noble chiefs such as the 6 dependents of Duan Jian ran in vain, but they could not master the soldiers and horses they led; And the soldiers at the grassroots level could not get effective orders at all, so they could only rely on their own blood to fight.

Even so, the Xianbei people will not be willing to fail, and in the bad situation, the Xianbei soldiers completely showed their barbaric nature that they had relied on for decades to dominate Youzhou. The front team was torn to pieces by the Daijun army, and the rear team immediately jumped on it and fought to the death with the Daijun army round after round.
What underpins their wildness is the habit of slaughtering and ravaging the Jin people in the south over the past few decades; Soon, however, one warrior after another from the bitter land of Western Liaoxi fell to the ground and died. Their eyes widened, and until the moment they died, they couldn't imagine that the Jin army that had been wantonly killed by them still had such strong soldiers!
"Kill! Kill! Kill! "The soldiers of Daijun went on a rampage, using lances and swords to bring up pieces of blood and rain, and picked off the Xianbei people's level melons and vegetables. As Liu Yao, Chu Kun, Ni Yi and other cavalry successively entered the battlefield, the cavalry of the Daijun County swirled and bit like flying birds of prey, making the disadvantages of the Xianbei people more and more obvious. Although they had a huge number of troops, they were like giants of low intelligence, blindly roaring and roaring, making feeble counterattacks, and finally watching in despair as the Daijun cavalry was like an incomparable dagger, cutting out terrible wounds one after another on his body, and gradually consuming his vitality.
Duan Ji and his 6 dependents didn't plan to give any explanation to Wang Jun, and when the contemporary county cavalry launched a surprise attack, he immediately rushed back to the headquarters with his cavalry, trying to organize a reverse attack. However, in his previous orders, he had already sent most of his direct troops to the front to monitor the Youzhou infantry under Yang Fei's command, while the lightly armed cavalry led by the other Xianbei noble chieftains roamed around the two flanks of the Daijun army array, and it was difficult to return to help.
At this time, most of the troops gathered in the middle were heavy cavalry equipped with armored cavalry and usually killed the enemy in close combat. If the two armies faced each other, Duan Ji was convinced that even if the Daijun army was ten times larger, it would definitely not be the opponent of those iron-armored beasts. However, the Daijun cavalry galloped and fought fiercely, fighting with each other, and fought to the death with their own side. This left the heavy cavalry in armor with no time to form a formation, and no space to carry their horses in columns. The heavy cavalry who had lost their ranks and degrees were as inconvenient as iron pimples, and were forced by the enemy to retreat again and again, and the more the battle became, the more chaotic it became.
Duan Ji's 6 relatives witnessed the Jin general, who had fought fiercely at the beginning of the battle, teasing and repelling his light cavalry, galloping on horseback, opening his bow left and right, and shooting down the Xianbei warriors who tried to approach one by one. Two Xianbei generals wearing pheasant tails rushed up diagonally, trying to cover his way, but because the armor around them was too heavy, they were bypassed by the Jin people, stabbed one person horizontally with a long lance, and then pulled out his waist knife and killed the other with his backhand.
Regardless of admiring the bravery of this Jin general, Duan Ji looked to the east again, and vaguely saw that the infantry of the Daijun army had also moved. The soldiers divided into several queues in front and behind, and began to advance under the cover of the side vans. Every twenty paces, the front line stops to defend, and the rear row crosses the front line of defense and continues forward. Along the way, Xianbei warriors tried to stop them, but they were routed by the arrows and dense spears of the infantry formation.
Such complex tactical maneuvers can only be accomplished by highly trained troops. If it had been expected, Duan Ji and his 6 dependents would have prolonged today's battle as long as possible, harassing them with light cavalry at all costs, and doing their best to demoralize the enemy and consume his body. Until it is determined that the enemy is exhausted, then send out heavy cavalry to determine the victory in one fell swoop. Duan Ji 6 gritted his teeth: It's a pity! Hateful! There is no problem with my military strategy, it is all to blame for Wang Jun's incompetence, forcing himself to solve the battle quickly, otherwise how could he end up in such a wolf! Those Jin people slandered Duan Bu for attempting to rebel, and gave Daijun Junchuang a chance to fight back...... This is even more intolerable!
Duan Ji's 6 relatives were not only angry, but also anxious. He kept issuing all kinds of instructions, but he couldn't keep up with the unpredictable shape of the battlefield. On the contrary, an officer with minor injuries and a bloody face came to him, bringing the news of the defeat of each team. He looked around and wanted to send another fresh army to reverse the defeat, but he found that there was no army at all except for a small number of subordinate guards.
Just when he was frantic about this, he heard the cheers of the Jin people on the battlefield. A banner with the words "Wujun 6 Yao" waved in the wind, sweeping horizontally across the entire battle area from left to right, and everywhere it went, the Daijun army was in great spirits, and the offensive was fierce again. Duan Ji couldn't figure out what kind of magic that banner could boost morale to such a point.
By the time the battle had been underway, both sides were exhausted. Needless to say, the hard work of the Daijun army's overnight march was not necessarily much easier, Duan Xianbei came out in the early morning and traveled for dozens of miles over a long distance, followed by continuous battles. At this time, everyone is struggling to the death, just hoping that the other party will not be able to hold on first. At this time, the Daijun army suddenly attacked, and sure enough, the various departments of Youzhou could not support it. I don't know who withdrew first, and the several fronts that had barely maintained suddenly collapsed like an avalanche. In the blink of an eye, the winner is decided!
Seeing that the strong soldiers that had been carefully organized for many years, and the iron cavalry that was the best at attacking and breaking through the formation, was killed by the Daijun army without the slightest chance to wave, Duan Ji's 6 relatives' faces became more and more pale. He knew very well that these heavy armored cavalry were created by the entire Duan Xianbei who had spent countless financial and material resources, and only the bravest and most experienced warriors in the tribe could become a member of the heavy armored cavalry. This force can be said to be the hope of Duan Xianbei to dominate the grasslands of northern Xinjiang. Their defeat today will inevitably cause devastating losses to the hegemony that Duan Bu is trying to plot.
I made so good preparations in advance, but in the end, it ...... How can I face the ardent expectations of Liaoxi Gong! Thinking of this, Duan Ji 6 only felt angina, and couldn't help but slam his fist against the armor on his chest. Soon he was shocked again: at this time, what do you care about all that? The top priority should be to save your own life!
Duan Ji's 6 family's expressions changed again and again, and several of the servants gathered around him also exchanged glances with each other. Although General Fujun's majestic bearing was the same as before, those close to him who were familiar with him had already keenly appreciated his thoughts. There was a person in the middle who had followed Duan Ji for a long time, and he had been praised many times because of his flexible brain, so he immediately had the courage to speak: "General, the current situation is not suitable for long-term entanglement. Let's get out of the army. ”
Duan Ji6 glanced at this servant with a snort, and was about to say something, when he suddenly seemed to be choked by the dust that diffused in the air, and coughed violently. He coughed so violently that he had to scratch his throat with both hands, and occasionally there was a cloudy wheezing breath, but he could not speak.
The servants were also smart, and none of them asked Duan Ji about the health of his 6 dependents, but they rushed up, some urged the horse, some led him, sandwiched him in the middle of the team, and fled in the direction away from the battlefield first.
Behind Duan Ji's 6 dependents, the Xianbei people went from disadvantage to defeat, from small defeat to rout, and it was already impossible to end in an instant. Countless Xianbei people fled on horseback, ignoring the establishment and ignoring the shouting and scolding of the superior officers. The once invincible arrogant soldier has been transformed into a lost dog fleeing in panic.
