On the banks of the Hala and Lin rivers, the two armies also took up positions under the rising sun.
The Dunbinai coalition army is divided into three large parts. The 21,000 cavalry of the Borji Jin tribe are in one piece, in the middle. The 13,000 cavalry of the Merqi tribe are the same ones who came out of the Dolib Forest yesterday. Branch, on the left.
They were wearing old and new drag suits, leather armor, iron leaf armor and other types of armor, and various flags were held high, looking full of energy.
On the right, the remnants of Kled and Tatar plus an army of a dozen other small tribes numbered about 8,000. Their formation was the most chaotic, like a herd of unattended sheep, spread sparsely on the right. Close to the banks of Hara and Linyou rivers.
The 5,000 cavalrymen of Zhadala, Hongjila and Hedijin tribes, the 8,000 cavalrymen of Huoli Tuma, and the Balahu tribe, together with all the baggage and supplies, are still on the north bank of the Tuwulazuo River.
They were slowly packing their luggage and queuing up to cross the river with a large number of supplies. It was as if the Turuzuo River suddenly turned into the wide Xueliang River in front of them. It is estimated that even if the two sides decide the winner, they may not be able to All cross the river.
Changsun Moli also divided the 21,000 Xuanwu banner cavalry into three parts, forming a "pin" shape, and arranged them diagonally along the Hara and Linyou rivers.
The flags were fluttering, the soldiers and armor were bright, and the more than 20,000 Xuanwu cavalry were as silent as the Dolib Forest dozens of miles away in the north.
Their expressions were serious, but there was no sign of any tension before the battle. They just remained silent, staring at the opposite side, with no extraneous expressions on their faces. The solemn atmosphere, like the sun rising higher and higher, enveloped the grassland.
Li Gang, who was riding a horse and standing behind Changsun Moli, was a little nervous. When the enemy's horn horn was blown on the opposite side, his heart beat wildly in his chest.
"The enemy has begun to attack!" the officer ran over and raised his voice to report.
Li Gang felt as if a hand had reached into his chest and pinched his heart so hard that it almost stopped beating. His breathing also became extremely rapid, as if his body was burning rapidly and needed a lot of fresh air. Air.
He subconsciously turned his head and looked at the other staff and retinues, all staring at the opposite side with solemn expressions. Some were calm and composed, while others looked peaceful, but their clenched cheeks betrayed their nervousness.
Li Gang felt that his performance was neither good nor bad.
This is a battle with huge disparity in strength, and everyone feels nervous.
With the faint sound of horse hooves in the distance, you can feel the ground shaking slightly. There are also the rising and falling shouts of each other, just like a group of wild wolves in the wilderness transmitting information and emotions to each other.
Li Gang felt that his heart was beating faster. In order to relieve the tension, his mind became hot and he decided to talk to Changsun Moli, who was the calmest and calmest person on the scene.
"Sir, our main force should be back in position in a roundabout way."
"Main force? What main force?" Changsun Moli turned around curiously and asked.
"General Liu's 40,000 main cavalry. According to your deployment, we shouldn't go back to the enemy's rear flank now, wait for the opportunity, launch a fierce attack, and attack us from both front and rear." Li Gang replied confidently.
The eldest grandson, Moli, was very happy, "How did you guess it?"
"Sir, I guessed it right." Li Gang said excitedly, "Let me tell you, in the past ten days, everyone has been more or less nervous, but you, sir, are not nervous at all. If you didn't have the chance to win, how could you So relaxed and calm?"
"Haha, I'm very imaginative, but unfortunately, I guessed wrong. The main cavalry led by General Liu has its own mission. Today's battle is just for us. Even He Qifan, Li Jian and their ten thousand cavalry were too late to come back for reinforcements.
.These enemies on the opposite side must be dealt with by ourselves."
After listening to Changsun Moli's words, Li Gang almost jumped up from the saddle.
"This...how is this possible?"
"How is that impossible? If it is not confirmed that General Liu's main cavalry is not at Halahelin Ranch, do you think Dun Binai has the courage to come?"
"Are they sure?" Li Gang suddenly excited, "Sir, are you saying that we have their spies inside?"
"Of course there is. Among the hundreds of thousands of Kelie and Tatar tribesmen who have been recruited by us, there must be people who are resentful and collude with the Liao people and Dun Binai. It was these people who told Dun Binai that General Liu
The main cavalry had already rushed to Tanglu Ridge to deal with the Oni tribe; more than 200,000 tribesmen began to move to the southern foot of Hanghai Ridge... It was this news that made Dunbinai dare to attack us with such ferocity."
"That..."
"There's nothing more! Go down and prepare immediately, and you'll be ready for orders at any time!" Changsun Moli scolded.
"Here!" Li Gang responded immediately.
Changsun Moli held up his telescope and looked at the battlefield more than twenty miles away. After looking at it for a while, he issued an order.
"Order all units to retreat to their respective positions B!"
"Here!"
Soon, the 20,000 Xuanwu Banner Army cavalry began to move. They began to retreat in the rear and outer direction. The neat team drew lines on the grassland and spread.
"First Evolution"
When the enemy saw this situation, the Merqi tribe on the right rushed to the front. The Borji Jin tribe in the middle was positioned behind them, forming a long formation.
Kled, the remnants of Tatar and the coalition of small tribes may have too many different opinions and could not unify for a while, so they moved very scattered and slow. Not only were they far behind, but they were also pulled into a thinner and longer team.
Seeing these 42,000 cavalry dispersed into three large groups on a battlefield with a radius of sixty miles, Changsun Moli violently put away his telescope and ordered: "Order General Wang (
Wang Shunchen), launch an attack on the Mierqi tribe!"
"Here!"
"Li Gang! Yang Zongmin!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"You two take a thousand people to General Zhao (Zhao Long)..."
"Here!"
Li Gang glanced at Yang Zongmin next to him and was puzzled. Why was he assigned a task? His riding and shooting skills were very weak, and he had no ability to protect himself.
I'm really not afraid of death, I'm just worried about going to the front line and becoming a burden to others. Is the war so critical that even a rookie like me has to be sent on it?
Seeing Li Gang and Yang Zongmin walking away, Ye Xun, Zhang Yi, Li Guang, Zhu Shengfei and others looked at each other with their own anxieties and worries in their eyes.
What they were thinking was similar to Li Gang's, thinking that the war had really reached a very critical moment.
Half an hour later, Li Gang and Yang Zongmin had not returned yet, but bad news came from the front.
"Report! Everyone joins the army! There was a fierce battle between the troops of General Wang (Wang Shunchen) and the Merqi tribe. The Borjijin tribe sent 8,000 cavalry reinforcements. General Wang was unable to cope with the support and led his troops to retreat to Ma Tou Mountain in the northwest.
.The reinforcements from the Merqi Tribe and the Borji Jin Tribe are in hot pursuit."
"Report! In the middle road, the Borji Jin Division and the Klie and Tataer Divisions continue to attack. They have already engaged the troops of General Wang (Wang Wenzhen) and General Zhu (Zhu Zhiyong). The enemy's offensive is very fierce. Our army is struggling to hold on!"
Zhang Yi and others' expressions became even more frightened, and they couldn't help but look at Changsun Moli.
The sun above their heads has jumped to the top of their heads, making it even brighter and dazzling.
At this time, above the heads of He Qifan, He Guan, Li Jian and others, there were dark clouds that were almost pressing down on their heads. Silver-white thunder and lightning were looming in the clouds and could explode at any time.
"He Qianhu, you are the commander-in-chief. It is up to you to decide whether to continue the attack!" He Guan and Li Jian said. Dong Xiulie, Qu Kechang, Bo Ji Changkong, Yan Wanshi and others looked at him nervously, waiting for his decision. .
There was a loud noise, as if the Hanghai Ridge in the distance collapsed. A lightning bolt as thick as a bucket tore through the entire sky, like a pair of silver-white scissors, ruthlessly cutting open the thick black curtain.
By the light of this lightning, He Qifan could see Bath Simu across the way, and Dali was in a panic, each looking for a safe place to hide from the lightning and rain.
He turned his head and his eyes flashed across the faces of his friends, colleagues, and subordinates. He saw fear and panic, as well as the desire for victory!
He Qifan drew out his long sword and shouted: "Today, either we will be struck to death by thunder! Otherwise we will defeat the enemy! Kill!"
Having said that, he took the lead, led his personal troops and his own cavalry, and rushed forward.
Qu Kechang roared, "You bastard thief, if you dare, kill me! If you can't kill me, don't stop me from killing the enemy! Sons, follow me and kill the enemy!"
Then the second one rushed out with his troops.
Dong Xiulie's eyes were red, and without saying anything, the third one rushed out.
Li Jian and He Guan had an urgent discussion, made a simple arrangement, and then rushed forward.
In the pitch-black sky and earth, nearly ten thousand cavalry roared towards them, their figures flickering in and out of light.
The sound of their heavy and fast horse hooves actually covered up the roaring thunder. Thunder and lightning tore and spread over their heads, and countless silver snakes intertwined into a web above their heads, emitting dazzling light, just like these nearly ten thousand cavalry. of armor and armor. This chapter has been completed!
