The battlefield was littered with corpses, with mutilated corpses lying scattered in a pool of blood, and some soldiers were struggling and wailing in the pool of blood. The scene was very bloody.
Surprisingly, those still cleaning the battlefield were soldiers from Longxi, indicating that the Longxi army won this battle below the city.
A total of three to four thousand people from the two armies died on the battlefield, which can be considered a very brutal fight. Among them, the Ning army suffered a slight defeat, but the losses were not too heavy.
At the end of the battle, Chang Huaiyi personally led 3,000 cavalry into the formation. After all, he was Chang's eldest grandson. He was extremely courageous. He shot in and out of the military formation with a spear, and he was in the Long army's formation without any effort.
He tore a hole in the middle and broke through the encirclement, allowing the army to exit the battlefield unharmed.
Dugu Xin strolled on the battlefield and gently stroked the mane of a war horse. The horse looked very manic and was twisting its head left and right, but was firmly held down by the soldiers on both sides.
"Tsk tsk~"
Duguxin smashed his mouth and said softly: "The war horses of Pinghan Road seem to be a little inferior to the war horses of Beiliang. The strength of the horse's legs is not that strong, and it is a bit like the war horses of Liaodong.

Compared to the good horses we breed, they should be on par."
Dugu Xin's face looked good, and he didn't expect to be able to kill tens of thousands of the Chang family's elite in one battle.
The deputy general standing beside him asked softly: "General, I don't know something about this subordinate. I don't know whether I should ask."
Duguxin smiled and said: "Zhichen, if you have anything to say, just ask. There is no need to hide it."
This general is named Xu Zhichen. He is in his thirties and in his prime. He was brought out by Dugu Xin from Longxi. Most of the soldiers on the battlefield today were trained by him personally. He can be called Dugu Xin's right-hand man.
Xu Zhichen said softly: "General, why don't you take the cavalry out of the city to fight today? Our cavalry should not be much different from the Chang family's cavalry. Why use the infantry as bait to attract the main force of the Ning army?"
In fact, there were 10,000 elite cavalry in the city, but Dugu Xin never had the intention to send them into battle.
Don't look at the 50,000 troops stationed outside the city today. In fact, more than 10,000 of them are local garrison troops from Jiaodong Road. They have no combat power at all. However, it created an illusion for the Chang family, thinking that Dugu Xin had taken all the family wealth.
They were all taken out.
"Haha~"
Duguxin smiled, pointed to the battlefield in front of him and said: "Zhichen, the infantry you trained has strict orders and a measured advance and retreat. I am very satisfied.

But no matter how much you train, it will not be as effective as seeing blood with real swords and guns on the battlefield. It is beneficial to let the infantry train more, and a few deaths are nothing.
Besides, our cavalry is our trump card and cannot be easily exposed under the eyes of the Chang family."
Xu Zhichen is also a smart man. He understands everything and laughs without saying a word.
Soon a lean man strode up to Dugu Xin, cupped his fists and shouted:
"The last general, Tie'ermu, has met Lord Dugu!"
The man's face was covered with colorful paint, his hair was tied up several times and hung around his neck, and the Hu uniform on his body was stained with a lot of blood.
The man's face was full of coldness, and the coldness in his eyes made people seep.
"Haha, you're here." Dugu Xin smiled: "Thanks to the general for leading the surprise attack in today's battle, I want to give the general a credit!"
"Thank you, Sir!" There was no smile on Tie'ermu's face, and he had a straight face from beginning to end.
He and the 10,000 people under his command were all not from the Central Plains, but barbarians from outside the Western Territory.

As for why they serve for Longxi, only people like Duguxin know.
"There are no casualties among the soldiers, are there?" Duguxin asked with slight concern.
"It doesn't matter if a hundred or ten people die." Tie'ermu said coldly: "Ning Jun ran fast, otherwise he would definitely chop off a few more heads."
Duguxin nodded slightly, waved his hand and said, "Go~"
"promise!"
Tie'ermu strode away, while Xu Zhichen on the side frowned and said softly: "Sir, these Western barbarian soldiers are fighting for money, are they reliable?"
Dugu Xin's lips curled up: "Of course it's reliable. Who else has such a big deal besides us?
Don’t worry, it’s cost-effective to use these people to fight wars!”
…
In the large tent of the Ning Army, the three old, middle-aged and young people from the Chang family were sitting in the tent. They had suffered a defeat and looked a little unhappy.

Chang Huaiyi muttered glumly: "Grandpa, where did those people come from?"
Although Chang Huaiyi led the cavalry to tear apart the encirclement of the Western Barbarians, he could clearly feel that although these people were short, they were really desperate in fighting. They were all skilled in swordsmanship and strong in stature.
Many infantrymen suffered heavy losses at their hands.
A cold light flashed in the old man's eyes, and he murmured:
"They are barbarians from outside the Western Territory. They live in the mountains of the Western Territory all year round. They make a living by hunting all kinds of food. Naturally, their combat power is not weak."
"Grandpa has fought against them?" Chang Huaiyi had a hint of curiosity on his face. Grandpa's tone seemed to be very familiar with them.
Chang Hantang leaned back gently on the chair and said: "When my grandfather was young, he led troops to the Western Border. At that time, the barbarians outside the Western Border rebelled and did not pay tribute to me. Longxi was unable to support itself.
When I first arrived at the battlefield, my grandfather underestimated the enemy and suffered several losses. These people were born to kill. They were a pure bunch of hob-killers. All men from the clan could serve as soldiers. With an army of tens of thousands, it took a lot of effort to defeat them.
Beat him down.
Fortunately, there are many barbarians outside the Western Territory, and they are all small tribes. They also have hatred among each other, and it has never been a problem. After that war, their vitality was seriously damaged and they became much more honest.
But I didn't expect that Longxi would be able to use them for their own purposes. These people are really good at fighting."
"A borrowed knife to kill someone?" Chang Jingzhe, obviously hearing this story from his father for the first time, frowned and said:

"Since they don't deal with us in the Central Plains, why do they still work for Longxi?"
"Hmph~"
The old man snorted coldly: "People die for money and birds die for food. The Longxi clan is nothing more than giving money and adding some coercion. No one of these tribes can compete with the powerful clan of Longxi alone.
It's a good choice to make money from fighting or to have your entire clan wiped out."
Chang Huaiyi said angrily: "The Long Army is really nothing to lure foreign enemies into the country!"
To put it bluntly, they and the Long Army can be considered compatriots, but those barbarians are not.
"On the battlefield, everyone relies on their own methods. As long as they can win, all methods are acceptable." The old man narrowed his eyes slightly and said:
"No wonder Dugu Xin dared to declare a challenge today. It turns out he has some trump cards."
"Father!"
Chang Jingzhe cupped his hands and said, "Then should we be wary of them next?"

The old man's eyes closed: "Just inform all the battalions to strengthen their defenses, and there is no need to be too afraid.
Since they want to fight, let’s have fun with them.”
"promise!"
