King Qi ordered Beishan cavalry to go west for reinforcements, and Chu Huan certainly didn't expect any more troops to arrive.

The sun has just risen to the earth, and the rays of light are overwhelming.

The Xiguan officers and soldiers at Qingyuan Racecourse were full of energy. This was not because they had just received a report that Hezhou's defenders had quickly withdrawn and were heading east to join Qingyuan Racecourse. Inside, they have performed no small miracle.

Everyone knows that the Qingyuan Racecourse is flat, and the only place in the west that can resist the cavalry attack for a while is the Horse Training Valley. Apart from this, there are no other fortresses or natural moats to stop the enemy.

Once the Tianshan cavalry attacked, it was hard to imagine how the Xiguan Army, with infantry as the main force, would resist the opponent in this Qingyuan Racecourse.

But from the evening of the day before yesterday, Chu Huan suddenly issued an order, so every soldier stationed at the Qingyuan Racecourse began to fight, and even the Governor Chu Huan personally worked with the soldiers.

In less than two days, they actually built Qingyuan Racecourse into a plain fortress.

The wooden fence is the partition, and the soil is built as the wall. Less than ten meters outside the fence is the ditch. The west side is bounded by the horse training valley. In the upper valley, a long wooden fence is built. The soil was reinforced, and many sentry towers were built along the wooden fence. The sentry towers were towering and the crossbow arrows were strong.

Not only on the west side, but also on the southeast and north sides, wooden fences were built, and ditches were dug outside the wooden fences. This is a square camp with a diameter of more than ten miles.

Qingyuan Racecourse was originally a built racecourse, and there were original wooden fences on all sides, but it was severely damaged and dilapidated, but now the Xiguan Army is rebuilding it as quickly as possible.

Tens of thousands of Xiguan troops were deployed behind this wooden fence.

As long as the materials that can be used are used skillfully by the Xiguan Army, it seems that the fortification is very simple, but it has gathered the efforts of tens of thousands of soldiers. This kind of temporary camp is not uncommon throughout the ages, but with such speed It is very rare to build it.

After two days of hard work, the Qingyuan Racecourse is surrounded on all sides, and there are many simple towers scattered throughout the interior. The Qingyuan Racecourse, which had no defense capabilities, has greatly increased its defense capabilities. The most important thing is to build defenses. Fortifications, working together from top to bottom, not only did not make the soldiers feel tired because of fatigue, but it also shocked everyone's morale. They are united and can do anything at all times. Although the Tianshan Army has a large number of people, it may not be impossible fight.

The soldiers stationed at Qingyuan Racecourse were already prepared to fight Tianshan County to the death, but now that fortifications have been built, they are even more confident.

When the morale of the whole army was boosted, at noon, they received new news again that nearly [-] defenders of Hezhou had arrived. When Chu Huan arrived at the Horse Training Valley in person, he had already seen dark figures coming from the west. The vanguard of the army had already descended the opposite slope and entered the horse training valley. The first to go downhill was a cavalry unit. The armor of the first person was seen by Chu Huan very clearly, and he recognized the horse at a glance. It's Xu Shao.

Xu Shao came on a flying horse, and thousands of cavalry came roaring behind him. Chu Huan ordered to open the gate of the wooden fence. Amidst the shouts, Xu Shao had already led the cavalry into the wooden fence. He had already seen where Chu Huan was. The flying horse galloped towards him, a few steps away, he had dismounted from his horse, stepped forward quickly, and knelt down on one knee, "The last general pays his respects to Governor Chu!"

But Chu Huan had already lifted him up. Xu Shao's eyes were bloodshot, his face was quite tired, and the armor on his body was still stained with blood, which had condensed on the battle armor. He knew that it was left over from the bloody battle in Hezhou Imprinted, said softly: "Commander Xu, thank you for your hard work!"

Xu Shao got up, and didn't bother to say much, and said: "The Tianshan army has followed, and the last general has found out that not only the Tianshan army is chasing behind, but also their cavalry have appeared in the direction of the two wings. It seems that they have already The soldiers are divided into three groups, preparing to besiege us from three sides, Governor Chu, but they did not attack us on the way."

Chu Huan said with a smile: "In fact, the governor already knows about your movements. Mr. Pei has sent me a letter earlier, and all of this is in Mr.'s plan."

"So that's how it is." Xu Shao felt slightly relieved. He saw that there were many soldiers and horses in the Qingyuan Racecourse, and the wooden fence was built as high as a man. : "Chu Du, after we left the city, sir ordered to rest a few times on the way. We fought in Hezhou for several days, and many soldiers never had a good rest. Sir worried that if we marched in a hurry, even if we arrived here, they would be exhausted, so on the way After resting a few times, I was delayed for some time, according to the agreement, tonight at You o'clock, the three-day limit will be reached!"

Chu Huan smiled wryly and said, "Mr. is really a brave man with great skills. He dared to rest along the way with a tiger at his side. He is really not afraid that the Tianshan people will attack." But in his heart, he felt that Pei Ji's use of troops was really dangerous, and thanks to Zhu Lingyue and Gan Hou kept his promise, otherwise, if he really launched an attack in the middle, the Xiguan Army would definitely suffer a fatal blow.

It seemed that Pei Ji was really sure that Zhu Lingyue and Marquis Gan would not attack, otherwise they wouldn't be so risky.

Looking up at the sky, the sun was shining at noon, the sun was shining brightly, and there were still a few hours before You time.

"Commander Xu, our cavalry team is in the middle of the racecourse...!" Chu Huan pointed to the belly of the Qingyuan racecourse, "Take them over there and rest well first, and then we will have a big fight with the Tianshan Army, let everyone Replenish your strength and store up your strength, and you will have the strength to kill the enemy when the time comes."

Xu Shao arched his hands and led the cavalry to rush over quickly.

The soldiers and horses retreating from Hezhou were not slow at all. After Xu Shao's vanguard troops rushed over, within half an hour, the soldiers and horses behind also rushed over.

Seeing that Chu Huan was really responding at the Qingyuan Racecourse, the morale of the defenders who had retreated from Hezhou was shaken. Seeing that Qingyuan Racecourse had even built fortifications, they felt even more confident. The men and horses quickly entered the Qingyuan Racecourse, and it was getting closer and closer to Youshi. Apart from letting Xu Shao's cavalry go to the hinterland to rest, the other soldiers and horses who had retreated were immediately deployed to the four sides of the racecourse.

There is no doubt that the Tianshan Army will attack from three directions, and the main force will be in the middle. Naturally, the west side will be under the greatest pressure, that is, the direction of Taming Horse Valley, so this side must deploy heavy troops for defense. There are cavalry from the Tianshan Army, so soldiers and horses must also be deployed on the north and south sides for defense.

Chu Huan knew very well that the battle at the Qingyuan Racecourse was already a decisive battle between himself and Zhu Lingyue, and it could be said that he would never die. Unless one side fell, this battle would definitely not end.

Defending on all sides, of course, is not really to defend the Qingyuan Racecourse. Its ultimate purpose is nothing more than to resist the impact of the high-morale Tianshan cavalry as much as possible through tenacious defense, so as to achieve the effect of dampening the morale of the Tianshan army. After defending for a few rounds, the morale of the Tianshan Army will inevitably be hit, and it will also cause anxiety. At that time, there will always be a chance to really fight to the death.

In the final analysis, Chu Huan also had jealousy and even fear of the Tianshan cavalry in his heart.

If the Qingyuan Racecourse was not fortified and the Tianshan cavalry were allowed to rush in, no matter how brave the Xiguan army was, under the impact of tens of thousands of Tianshan cavalry, let alone win, as long as they could survive, they would be very lucky.

Chu Huan did not build the fortifications immediately after the soldiers and horses arrived at the Qingyuan Racecourse. The reason is very simple. What really played a decisive role in this battle was not the fortifications, but the belief of the Xiguan Army.

He must first establish the belief of the soldiers before he can make a final fight with Zhu Lingyue.

Even if the emergency construction of fortifications is started before the start of the war, it is also to allow soldiers to quickly enter the tense state of battle by building fortifications.

After two days, because of the construction of fortifications, the soldiers of Qingyuan Racecourse not only entered the state of war, but also because they created a miracle in a short period of time, the morale of the whole army is at a high level at the moment.

When Chu Huan saw Pei Ji again, Pei Ji was still in a calm state. Seeing Chu Huan, Pei Ji was the first to smile and said, "Chu Du has been waiting here for a long time!"

Chu Huan said with a wry smile: "Brother, I led the army to Qingyuan Racecourse and received your secret letter. Are you planning to let me garrison at Qingyuan Racecourse on purpose?"

Pei Ji stroked his beard, looked around, nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that you are already prepared here, and it is better than I thought."

Chu Huan took Pei Ji's arm and asked in a low voice, "Brother, are we really going to fight the Tianshan army here? I don't think this place is a good place. It should be Zhu Lingyue's favorite place! "

"That's right." Pei Ji said with a smile, "Zhu Lingyue likes this place. We chose Qingyuan Racecourse. From Zhu Lingyue's point of view, this is where his Tianshan cavalry can really be used. I'm afraid he knows that we are going to fight him here. In terms of victory or defeat, we already feel that our Xiguan Army is bound to lose, if he doesn't have arrogance in his heart now, he will really see the devil!"

Chu Huan sighed: "Brother wants to make Zhu Lingyue feel arrogant, so that he will be negligent? But they have absolute strength, even if they really underestimate the enemy, let's...!"

Pei Ji interrupted him and asked, "Second brother, let me ask you, what do you think about this battle?"

"This... until now, we can only fight them to the end." Chu Huan's eyes became serious, "We have no way out, we can only fight to the death!"

"That's right." Pei Ji smiled and stroked his beard and said, "You should know the story of Xiang Yu breaking the boat and ruining the boat. Xiang Yu broke the boat and cut his own back. The three armies used their lives and were invincible. We are the same now. There is no reinforcement, no way out, you know there is no other way out, we here The tens of thousands of Xiguan soldiers also know that if they want to survive, they can only fight to the death...Second brother, do you know that no matter how powerful a hunter is, if he really pushes the beast into a corner, it may be self-defeating. It may have ruined my own life...!"

Chu Huan stared at Pei Ji thoughtfully.

Pei Ji looked up at the sky, and said: "Second brother, your family property is all here, and Zhu Lingyue's family property is also all here. Now there is no need to play tricks. When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. After the First World War , decide who wins and loses... It depends on who owns the Northwest. Everyone can doubt this war, but there is only one person who can't, and that is you. For you, you shouldn't If you have any thoughts, just keep one thought in mind, that is...you Chu Huan will win, Zhu Lingyue will lose!"
