In the center of the formation, two side vans are placed together, and a simple wooden platform is mounted on them. Xue Tong silently looked at the Youzhou army surging like a black 'tide', pursed his lips, and turned around and walked down.

When the sound of the enemy's neat footsteps rumbled, Xue Tong could feel the nervousness of the soldiers around him. Although most of them were experienced fighters and had been trained as rigorously as possible in the past month, the time for the Daijun Army as a whole to become a former was too short after all. It will take many, many hard battles, a lot of blood and lives to cultivate their trust in each other and their unreserved obedience. From this point of view, the army that Lu Yao had established in Daijun was no different from the Jinyang Army, which had faced the panicked Hun army at the head of Jinyang City a few months earlier.

That time, it was Lu Yao who overrode public opinion and unswervingly made the decision to fight to the end, and the final winner really belonged to Lu Yao's side. And this time? The same dangerous situation, the same disparity in the number of enemies and friends, and even Ding Miao and Ding Wenhao, who are also in danger in the distance...... Of course, there is also Lu Yao and Lu Daoming, who are behind Xue Tong, who also hold the confidence of victory. Xue Tong looked back at the location of his own Chinese army. Lu Yao was talking to Wei 'Cao' about something, and when he noticed Xue Tong's gaze, he bowed his head slightly and waved his fist.

Xue Tong passed through the dense queue of sword and shield men and arrived at the front of a row of side vans. Looking at the dense queue in the center of the army opposite, Xue Tong slowly pulled out his customary long knife from his sheath.

With his movements, a sword sheathed out of its sheath sounded continuously, and the Daijun army holding the spear held the spear on the wooden wall, building a forest of spears that flashed with cold light.

"Steady! Don't panic! Don't mess around! Just hold on! Xue Tong's shout spread throughout the front formation.

Duan Xianbei's troops were completely cavalry, but what appeared in front of Xue Tong right now was a black and oppressive foot pawn. This infantry team should have rushed to the battlefield on horseback and then dismounted and entered the battle, otherwise it would not have been able to follow the movements of the large cavalry. Uniformly dressed in leather armor and iron helmets, armed with short spears, swords, and other weapons, they were led by a column of half-shielded soldiers, and penetrated from the middle of the slow-moving cavalry to the front line, and then advanced in whole formation. And the Xianbei cavalry was divided into a team of three or five hundred cavalry, 'mixed' in the footmen? Between the pawns, at first glance, it looks like a black 'color', 'wave' and 'tide' composed of cavalry suddenly retreating, leaving patches of broken reefs in place.

The arrangement of troops on the battlefield and the game of the pattern are quite common, both of which are processes in which the two sides respond to and counter each other. Just from the layout of the formation in front of him, Xue Tong could predict that after the cavalry harassed by the first 'wave' attack was severely attacked by the Daijun army, the commander of the Youzhou army immediately gave up the habitual cavalry offensive and launched a strong attack in the form of infantry and cavalry cooperation. They would first use the cavalry's rush 'shooting' to cover the approaching foot soldiers, then break through the chariot formation with the foot soldiers, and finally invest in the heavy cavalry equipped with armored cavalry as the situation may be able to expand the results. This method of warfare is also the right way for the army to meet in battle.

It's just that...... Xue Tong narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the enemy. The footmen approached, their faces, their buns, and their clothes clearer. There is no doubt that they are Jin people and not Xianbei. This team of foot soldiers is completely composed of Jin people. Xue Tong spat violently and scolded viciously.

The Youzhou Army and the Daijun Army are both troops subordinate to the imperial court, but they have to meet each other in the territory of the Xianbei people, which is a bit absurd in itself. And at this moment, the blood of the Jin people will be shed in the military formations of both sides...... Xue Tong muttered, but did not show the slightest compassion. For decades, the kings of the clan have been fighting in the Central Plains, and the number of people who have died is millions, and it is not bad for the current point.

The two wings of the Youzhou army were still stretching horizontally, and the central infantry 'mixed' team was rapidly approaching. The central army of the Daijun Army sounded a slightly rapid drumbeat, urging the whole army to enter a state of alert.

The enemy entered the range of 300 paces before the car formation, Xue Tong rubbed the hilt of the knife and ignored it. The array of the Daijun Army was silent.

The enemy cavalry gradually accelerated, and the foot soldiers began to run in small steps. They quickly entered the range of 200 paces in front of the chariot formation, and entered the 'shooting' range of the crossbowmen, while the Daijun army array remained motionless.

The enemy entered a hundred paces before the chariot formation, and the cavalry reined in and changed directions, the left team to the right, the right team to the left, the two teams 'intersected', galloped sideways, and the knights on horseback shouted excitedly, ready to draw their bows and arrows. And the foot soldiers shouted 'chaos' and rushed forward at full speed, trying to break through the car formation under the cover of riding 'shooting'!

"Crossbowmen ready!" Shoot'! With Xue Tong's concise and powerful command, thirty waist crossbows that had not been put into battle before were launched.

Lu Yao dared to lead the army north to the grassland, of course, there was something to rely on. In terms of armament alone, in the past month, he has vigorously rectified the accumulation of grass and recklessness, and repaired and reequipped the weapons and armor that were originally hidden in the hands of thieves and miscellaneous hus from all walks of life, thus greatly enhancing the combat effectiveness of the army. In addition, he also bought weapons from Zhongshan, Changshan and other counties in Jizhou. The northern county of Jizhou was entrusted by Ding Shao, the assassin of Jizhou, and was willing to support Lu Yao; It was also because of Liu Yao, the Jizhou cavalry governor, who was in the middle of the matchmaking, and Lu Yao did not hesitate to use the huge amount of gold beads and goods he seized to bribe, so he found a military weapon like a waist crossbow.

The structure of the waist crossbow is complex and the volume is quite cumbersome, so most of them are placed in the two large camps where the Daijun army is stationed in Daiwang City and Warrior Fort. Only a small number of vans moved with the army. This kind of strong crossbow is a long-range weapon used by the 'elite' elite troops of the Jin army, and in addition to the large number of Luoyang forbidden troops, the number of prefectures and counties in various prefectures and counties is very small. In the past, when Ma Long conquered Liangzhou and rebelled against Hu, Emperor Dewu specially allowed him to recruit warriors, and he took the waist crossbow that could open thirty-six jun as the standard. Thirty-six jun are combined into nine stones, that is to say, the power of the crossbow machine to shoot is more than four times that of the longbow, and its power can be imagined!

The 'shooting' range of these thirty waist crossbows was more than three hundred and fifty steps, but Xue Tong deliberately left them until the enemy army entered about 100 paces before releasing them, so as to inflict maximum damage. Thirty copper crossbow machines were released at the same time, and a strange muffled sound like rolling thunder buzzed, and the Youzhou army, which seemed to be unstoppable, was suddenly stunned in an instant!

The giant arrows that were fired from the waist crossbow were five feet long, the shaft was as thick as a wrist, and the arrows weighed about six catties, and the specifications almost caught up with the horse lance. And the 'crossed' weaving of the crumbling tendons gave the heavy arrow terrifying speed and indestructible power.

A huge arrow let out a sharp whistle and flew through the air. The sharp edge of the arrow slashed through the neck of a warhorse, and immediately tore the thick, tough tendons and severed the gray-white 'colored' trachea. It continued forward, stabbing into the shoulder of one of the foot soldiers behind it, taking the entire shoulder blade and all the flesh attached to it in a loud scream. It continued to move forward, stabbing the second foot soldier in the abdomen, and the tremendous momentum sent the soldier into the air several feet into the air, and then nailed to the ground!

Thirty giant arrows flew over a hundred paces in an instant, fiercely plunging into the dense ranks of the Youzhou army, each of which penetrated two, three, or even more enemies, penetrating thirty bloody and tragic paths.

"Ahh Ahhh The one who roared was Yang Fei, one of the few Jin generals under Wang Jun, who was in charge of leading this Jin infantry team. A moment earlier, a huge arrow had swept past him, piercing the bodies of two of his own soldiers and taking half of his ear. Yang Fei covered half of his bloody face, and roared loudly in anger. He didn't understand why the Daijun army had such a terrible weapon; I don't understand why I, as a direct subordinate of the hussar general, was sent to the front line when those Xianbei people were supposed to fight to the death!

Just as he instinctively gave the order to halt his advance, a low bull's horn suddenly sounded from behind the formation.

A Xianbei cavalryman galloped up to him and shouted in a strange accent: "Keep going!" The commander has a life, keep attacking! The so-called "big handsome" in the Xianbei population is the honorific title of the noble Hu chieftain, which naturally does not refer to Wang Jun, the assassin of Youzhou, but to the leader of the Xianbei people in this section.

"Handsome? That's the commander of your Duan Division! It's not ......" Yang Fei waved his arms and scolded angrily for half a sentence, and finally forced the second half of the sentence into his stomach. He heard the horn behind the battle repeatedly and sharply, even if he was confident and relied on by Wang Jun, he was unwilling to carry the harsh command of the Xianbei people at this time.

"Brothers, come on!" Yang Fei reluctantly shouted, urging the subordinates around him to continue to move forward, but his own pace became slower and slower.

Yang Fei didn't notice at all that on the slope where the middle army of the Daijun Army was located, someone had already seen all his performance.

"General Liu Yao's use of troops is flexible and changeable, and the courage to charge into battle is even more rare. General Xue caused such a heavy defeat to the enemy army with only thirty strong crossbows, which is enough to show that the means are sophisticated. However, the number of enemy troops is more than twice that of our army, and Wei has been in the grassland for a long time, and he knows that the fierceness and strength of the Xianbei people are far from being exerted...... If this battle goes on like this, hehe, you don't have a good chance of winning. That's why I urged General Lu to retreat. Wei's words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the generals of the Daijun army, but he continued to talk eloquently despite the annoyed eyes of everyone.

"The Daijun Army's attack this time completely fell into Wang Pengzu's calculations. However...... "Wei Cao" bowed to Lu Yao, and 'revealed' his admiration: "General Lu is really wise and decisive, and he actually saw through the flaws of the Youzhou Army in an instant. Wei claimed to know the reality of all ethnic groups in northern Xinjiang, but it wasn't until Fang Cai finally thought through that he was really ashamed, ashamed! ”

The dumb riddle between this Dingxiang Marquis and Lu Yao has been fought for a long time. As soon as he said this, the generals and colonels of the Daijun Army all 'revealed' blank expressions, not knowing what he wanted to express.

"The enemy in front of us is the hussar general, Wang Jun, the assassin of Youzhou; Under Wang Jun, the specific combat missions were carried out by the generals of the Xianbei Division. It is worth noting that the people of the Duan Department are an important part of the Youzhou Army, but the Youzhou Army does not only include the people of the Duan Army; The same was true of the relationship between Duan Xianbei and the Youzhou shogunate. Duanbu and Youzhou seem to be synergistic, but in fact, they are very different. Those who are beneficial to Youzhou may not be beneficial to the Duanbu; And those who are beneficial to the Duan Department may not be beneficial to Youzhou. Wei 'Cao' looked around at everyone and said loudly: "Wang Jun sent troops this time, originally summoned the people of the Duan Department and the Yuwen Department, intending to use this to subdue the grassland on the dam in one fell swoop and establish the authority of the Youzhou shogunate in northern Xinjiang. However, the Yuwen Department suffered a great loss of vitality in the battle with Wei Na Lou and Wu Lu Hui, so that Wang Jun had to rely on the strength of the Duan Department. Why couldn't the troops of the Duan Department come to the patrol, and sit back and watch the Yuwen Department and the Tuoba Xianbei Department fight to the death? Without the strength of the Yuwen Department on the side, how can Wang Jun balance the Duan Department? If all the grasslands on the dam are taken, it is the Duan Department that benefits, wouldn't that Youzhou Thorn Shi become a fool who marries others? ”

"Wang Pengzu is 'shrewd' and cunning, and he is by no means a fool. What's more, General Lu rode out of battle alone, and in his words, he held Duan Xianbei high, and regarded him as a rat who relied on Xianbei's snort...... On the one hand, the purpose of this action was to 'provoke' the generals, so as to quickly unfold the war and prevent our army's physical strength from being exhausted early under the repeated harassment of the Xianbei people; on the other hand, it would inevitably remind Wang Pengzu that the Xianbei of that section was unruly in his bones and might not necessarily take him seriously; the northward campaign initiated by the Youzhou Thorn History Department had actually become a way for the Duan Department to grab benefits after the Yuwen Department suffered heavy losses. If he continued to deduce, he could be even more sure that if the entire grassland on the dam fell into the hands of Duanbu, Youzhou would bear the brunt of the attack, and the first headache would be Wang Jun and Wang Pengzu! ”

He Yun asked with some hesitation: "What does Duke De Yuan mean that Wang Jun doesn't want to win this battle?" It's a bit unbelievable......"

"No, no, no." Wei 'Cao' shook his head again and again: "Tuoba Xianbei fell into a disintegrating internal 'chaos' after the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Wang Jun will not give up this opportunity no matter what." He longs for victory, but he wants the victory that belongs to Youzhou, not the victory of Duan Xianbei. I think what he wants to see is that after the hard battle between Duan Bu and the Daijun Army, the former was injured and the latter died! ”

Speaking of this, Wei Cao groaned, thinking about how to organize his language, and Lu Yao took over the conversation in a timely manner: "Everyone, the Xianbei people's previous light cavalry attack was very hasty. And as soon as they are slightly frustrated, they will change their tactics, which is even more inconsistent with the habits of the Xianbei people. From this, we can confirm that between the generals of the Duan Department and Wang Jun, something really happened. ”

Lu Yao pointed to the position of the front army chariot formation that was fighting like boiling magma, and continued: "The Youzhou army attacked in a big way this time, and it actually took the Jin infantry as the front team. And this Jin army is obviously not ready for a hard battle. At this time, I can assert 100% that this move was not arranged by Wang Jun himself, but the counterattack of the generals of the Duan Department against Wang Jun. ”

Wang Jun intends to consume the strength of the Duan Division, and the generals of the Duan Division, who actually control the command, will send the Youzhou Army Headquarters under Wang Jun to the front line of the battlefield. The contradictions between the two sides are as clear as they are clear. On this battlefield, although the enemy army is numerous, they have two hearts. Wang Jun and Duan Bu scruple about each other and guard against each other, just like a crack in a rock, once it is generated, it will only continue to expand and can no longer be bridged. Lu Yao struck with his fist and made a snapping sound: "We have to use this crack to hit this crack and finally smash the rock in front of us completely!" ”
