The soldiers who retreated from Hezhou to the Qingyuan Racecourse did not have time to rest. After entering the racecourse, they were immediately deployed to the four sides of the racecourse. At this time, the total strength of Chu Huanhui had reached [-], which was considered Chu Huan's current use. All the soldiers and horses of the army are also all the capital of this final battle.

The defense line of more than ten miles to the west is arranged intensively. There is no doubt that this is the key attack direction of the opponent after the war. The main force of the Tianshan Army is also concentrated on this side, so Chu Huan also deployed heavy troops in the west, more than 6000 Soldiers and horses are arranged in the west, and [-] troops are deployed on the north and south sides. Although the pressure on the east should be the least, Tianshan is dominated by cavalry, and its mobility is too strong. Once the fast horses turn to the east to attack, the infantry It is difficult for the Xiguan Army, the main force, to move to the east for supplementary defense, so [-] soldiers and horses are still deployed in the east.

The remaining thousands of soldiers and horses, except for [-] infantry, are almost all cavalry. The cavalry is arranged in the hinterland of Qingyuan Racecourse as a reserve force. In case of emergency on any side, this cavalry will quickly go to support as a mobile force.

In the duel of real swords and real guns, Chu Huan can only use all his family resources to fight hard. As Pei Ji said, everyone in Xiguan knows that this is the final decisive battle. They also know that there are no reinforcements outside and no retreat inside. It was a fight to the death, so they all showed a decisive look.

This battle is of great importance. Pei Ji commanded the most stressed soldiers in the west, while Chu Huan guarded the north, Han Ying lived in the south, and the east was handed over to Han Ying's deputy general Ye Jun. Ye Jun performed well in the defense of Hezhou City. He was very outstanding, not only brave, but also commanded well. Pei Ji recommended Chu Huan to guard the east.

As for Ruo Xu Shao, he led the reserve cavalry and lost mobile support.

As soon as Shen Shi arrived, Chu Huan, who was stationed in the north, stood on the sentry tower behind the wooden fence, and saw countless black shadows appearing in the sky. , in addition to the "Zhu" flag, there is also a part of the "Gu" flag flying. It is Zhu Lingyue's general Gu Liangchen who led the northern cavalry to the set goal.

Although there were only 5000 cavalry on the northern wing of the Tianshan Mountains, the sound of hooves and the neighing of horses were extremely powerful.

Countless war horses came galloping up, stirring up dust all over the sky. The yellow dust was like pillars, towering into the sky. Columns and teams of Beishan cavalry seemed to rush up in one go and crush the entire Qingyuan Racecourse.

Chu Huan frowned, holding the handle of the Blood Drinking Knife at his waist with one hand, and clenched his fist with the other.

Although all the units of the Xiguan Army have arrived at the place where they should defend, but time is running short, the defensive front has not been fully formed, and many soldiers are still carrying supplies. It is really a big trouble for the Xiguan Army to come forward.

Chu Huan could only order in a low voice, ordering the soldiers to ignore their weapons and equipment for the time being. The archers quickly approached the wooden fence, and the spearmen and axemen were also ready to meet the enemy.

Just as the soldiers quickly leaned against the wooden fence, they saw that the cavalry in the north was sprinting slower and slower. Soon, the cavalry in the front had reined in their horses and stopped several miles away.

Chu Huan was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the sky, and knew in his heart that the agreed time might not have arrived, so the Beishan cavalry did not launch an attack immediately.

He felt a little rejoiced in his heart, thinking to himself that Zhu Lingyue was cunning, but he made such a huge mistake. On the battlefield, the opportunity was fleeting, and his defensive preparations were not fully prepared, so he rushed to the battle. The best time to attack, if you were yourself, you would definitely attack in one go, thinking that Zhu Lingyue is a literati after all, obviously he is strong and strong, thinking that he will win, that's why he made such a mistake, which already shows that the opponent is very serious underestimate the enemy.

Gu Liangchen didn't want to rush over at this moment.

Of course, he has also seen that fortifications have been built at the Qingyuan Racecourse, and he saw that behind the Mulan, there were figures moving around in a mess. Based on his experience, he naturally knew that the Xiguan Army was still deploying, and there was no Forming a solid line of defense, launching an attack at this time is definitely an excellent opportunity. Once the opponent's line of defense is stabilized before attacking, the difficulty will increase greatly.

But before he set off, Zhu Lingyue had already issued a military order. After the Tianshan Army's various departments arrived at the designated positions, they must not act rashly without his order.

Although Zhu Lingyue is a civil servant, he has always been ruthless in enforcing military laws. Of course, the generals under his command dare not disobey orders.

It's just that Gu Liangchen didn't expect that he would encounter such a great opportunity when he first arrived at the decisive battle field. According to his experience, at this time, he should rush forward with all his strength. Not only will he have the opportunity to quickly break through the northern defense line of Qingyuan Racecourse while the Xiguan Army's defense line is not stable, but it is also very likely that this will change the situation of the battle. Of course, he can also become a The leader of this battle.

But Zhu Lingyue's military order hung over Gu Liangchen's head like a sharp knife.

He knows Zhu Lingyue too well, and Zhu Lingyue governs the army, but it can be said that rewards and punishments are clearly defined. Once his subordinates make contributions, Zhu Lingyue will never be stingy with rewards, and his rewards will always exceed the expectations of his subordinates. People are willing to serve their lives loyally, but once he violates the military law, Zhu Lingyue has always been cruel and ruthless.

If he rushes over at this time and breaks through the northern defense line of the Xiguan Army, the overall deployment of the Qingyuan Racecourse will be greatly damaged in an instant, and the other departments of the Tianshan Army will of course take the opportunity to launch a full-scale attack. It is very possible to win in a short period of time, but Gu Liangchen knows that after the victory, other generals may be rewarded, and what awaits him is bound to be cruel military law.

As far as Zhu Lingyue is concerned, his subordinates may not make military exploits, but they must never disobey his military orders. Once he disobeys his will, then in the eyes of Zhu Lingyue, who is suspicious by nature, his subordinates will be out of his control No matter how much credit he made, Zhu Lingyue would never tolerate the existence of such subordinates.

Balancing left and right, Gu Liangchen had no choice but to give up this excellent opportunity to attack, but he couldn't help but sneer at Zhu Lingyue's military order in his heart.

In fact, he also knows that although Zhu Lingyue's military skills may not be very good, but this time the Tianshan Army has come out in full force, coupled with the assistance of the Northwest Army, if nothing else, it will be a battle that must be won, and because of this, Zhu Lingyue Only then will he be steady and steady, and will not take risks easily, so as not to cause accidents and disrupt the overall layout. After all, the Xiguan Army once defeated the Beishan Army in Jiazhou, which somewhat made Zhu Lingyue still have some fears about Chu Huan.

In desperation, Gu Liangchen had no choice but to order the entire army to stop moving forward, dismount from their horses a few miles away, and wait for Zhu Lingyue's signal.

Although it was only an hour away from the agreed time, and another hour later, it would be Youshi, and the agreement with the Xiguan Army would reach the time, but Gu Liangchen could not be sure that when the time really came, Zhu Lingyue would order an attack.

Although he was very afraid of Zhu Lingyue, he didn't think that Zhu Lingyue was very good in military affairs.

After the Xiguan Army withdrew from Hezhou, Gu Liangchen's cavalry corps kept moving on the north wing of the Xiguan Army. Thoughts of attacking the Xiguan Army arose in his mind countless times, but they were all destroyed in an instant.

Sometimes he really couldn't figure out why Zhu Lingyue didn't order an attack on Hezhou's retreating army because of the great opportunity along the way, and he really kept the so-called agreement and let the Hezhou soldiers retreat to Qingyuan Racecourse?

Soldiers never tire of cheating. In order to win the war, they must use all means. It is okay to tear up the agreement. As long as they can defeat the Xiguan Army, they will do everything they can.

Perhaps Zhu Lingyue knew that this battle must be won, so he didn't want to ruin his reputation by tearing up the agreement. What's more, the agreement was signed by Ganhou. Clearly, perhaps because of such a decision, it will bring great trouble to the Tianshan Army.

When Zhu Lingyue was supposed to make a move, he did not do so because of caution and scruples. This is already a big taboo in military strategists. Although today's mountain army still has the absolute upper hand, Gu Liangchen always felt that something was wrong. After the Xiguan Army behind the earthen wall left some troops behind, the others started to move again, knowing that the opponent was preparing for battle right under their noses, but he could only watch helplessly, feeling quite annoyed, looking west from time to time. past.

Gu Liangchen was burning with anxiety, but Zhu Lingyue was calm and relaxed at the moment.

The overwhelming Tianshan army's middle road soldiers and horses have arrived at a place only a few miles away from the horse training valley. The main force of the cavalry led by Hou Jingang has been ordered to dismount and wait.

Along the way, the main force of Hou Jingang's cavalry did not distance themselves from Zhu Lingyue's main formation. The distance between the two troops was less than ten miles.

Riding on the horse, Zhu Lingyue looked up at the sky and asked, "What time is it?"

"Reporting to Governor Zhu, it's already the second quarter of application time." A general beside him said.

Zhu Lingyue looked at Marquis Gan beside him with a smile, and said with a smile: "General Gan, it seems that the time is just right, let's arrive in time!"

"Zhu Du, they set the decisive battle at the Qingyuan Racecourse, and they are really seeking their own death." Marquis Gan held the rein of the horse, with a confident expression on his face: "In the battle of Jiazhou, I thought Chu Huan had a lot of power." There are different methods, but now it seems that in the battle of Jiazhou, the Xiguan Army was lucky to win, or in other words, the Beishan Army was really vulnerable, but only in today's view, Chu Huan really has a vain reputation."

At this time, a flying horse came in front of him, and said: "I want to report to Governor Zhu, the Xiguan Army built fortifications at Qingyuan Racecourse, and the figures flashed, covering them with earth barriers, wooden fences and carts. Beyond the earthen walls, trenches were dug."

"Oh?" Zhu Lingyue stroked his beard and smiled, "Chu Huan is using these fortifications to stop my Black Wind Rider."

"It's just blocking it for a while." Marquis Gan sneered, "It's just like blocking the cavalry with wooden fences and earth walls. Chu Huan is too whimsical."

Zhu Lingyue smiled slightly, and asked the scout, "Have the soldiers and horses on both wings arrived?"

"General Gu in the north and General Di in the south have arrived at the designated positions, waiting for Zhu Du's signal, and can launch an attack at any time."

Zhu Lingyue laughed loudly and said, "Okay!" Looking forward, there was a mass of Beishan cavalry in front of him. He stroked his long beard with high spirits, "General Gan, maybe by tomorrow morning, Chu Huan's head will already be in front of us."
