Wei Tianqing knew that something was wrong, but the situation was already very chaotic at this time. The flood rushed across the river bed, cutting off the Xishan Army from the middle, and the soldiers on both sides of the river bank obviously didn't realize the imminent disaster, and they were in chaos. ...,

"Assemble into a team." Hearing the sound of the horn, Wei Tianqing knew that he had been ambushed, and at this moment, he didn't care about the soldiers in the river, and rode on horseback, roaring loudly: "Stand in formation, the enemy is coming. ...!"

Although the scene was chaotic, the soldiers near Wei Tianqing heard Wei Tianqing's call, but they still quickly assembled their formations, and small square formations quickly assembled.

Wei Tianqing was wielding his saber to command, when suddenly he heard the sound of an earthquake and the mountains shaking, the ground seemed to be trembling, his pupils contracted, and he looked to the opposite bank, in the dark night, the stars were dim, and he could not see far away. But Wei Tianqing had already seen, from the flank of the opposite river bank, a group of cavalry, like dark clouds in the night, quickly swept towards the chaotic Xishan Army.

The sound of rumbling horseshoes and the surging sound of the flood merged into one, and the silence of the night was completely broken.

"Quickly form formation!" Wei Tianqing yelled at the opposite bank almost desperately, "The cavalry is coming...!"

The full moon scimitar is like a whirlwind.

Although many soldiers on the other side had come to their senses and noticed that a group of cavalry was approaching, it was difficult to form a formation in a hurry, but the nearly thousand cavalry who crossed the river reacted. In the haste, the cavalry general shouted loudly, Xishan In this chaotic situation, the cavalry could not form a team in such a short period of time, but they could only greet the enemy cavalry who were attacking from the flank amidst the shouts of the generals.

Hundreds of Xishan cavalry rushed forward scatteredly, but they wanted to buy time for the infantry to form a formation, but the opposing cavalry rushed straight in a fan shape, like a sharp blade, and the cavalry on both sides smashed together like two huge rocks. , All of a sudden, there were killing sounds and screams again and again. The enemy's cavalry was obviously stronger than the Xishan cavalry, and in comparison, the opponent's cavalry was also obviously better than the Xishan cavalry. As soon as they fought, the Xishan cavalry fell again and again.

The infantry generals in the back also shouted loudly in a hurry, causing the chaotic soldiers to quickly gather into formation. The shieldmen quickly formed a line in the front, and then the spearmen hurriedly assembled. Although hundreds of archers lined up quickly, bowing their bows and setting arrows, but in the dark night, there is no distinction between the enemy and the enemy. If they shoot arrows at this time, they will inevitably hurt their own people, but they dare not act rashly.

At this moment, screams were heard from behind. The soldiers who had been hastily lined up heard the screams from behind and turned their heads one after another. They saw chaos behind and heard someone shouting loudly : "There are cavalry...!"

Wei Tianqing's face was ashen. Although the situation on both sides of the Liuzi River was very chaotic, he still understood the enemy's intentions and broke the embankment to release the water. , cut off the Xishan Army at the waist, and it is naturally impossible for the Xishan Army to remain calm under such circumstances. Although there are a small number of imperial guards in this army, the main force is the local state army and newly recruited soldiers. Although the combat power is very strong, but the number is too small, and the combat power of the local state army is not comparable to that of the imperial guards. Even if the newly recruited soldiers are brave, although they have practiced day and night, most of the soldiers have mastered basic combat skills, but they lack experience. , many people have never even experienced a real battlefield.

Daily drills and battles on the battlefield are two completely different things. The breach of the embankment and flood discharge have already made many soldiers terrified, but the enemy army took this opportunity to kill them, making the already chaotic situation even more chaotic.

Wei Tianqing knew in his heart that the cavalry that appeared on both sides of the opposite bank must be the ambushes of the Northwest Army.

Before, he just thought that the Northwest Army was attacking Tongzhou with all its strength. At this moment, he just realized that the siege of Tongzhou was fake. The real purpose of the Northwest Army was obviously to attack the main force of the Xishan Army guarding Liangzhou. Liuzihe was the Northwest Army. The army's ambush location, they obviously knew the terrain near the Liuzi River very well, so they made a careful layout.

Thinking of this, Wei Tianqing's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, the opponent's calculations were done intentionally or unintentionally, and with careful planning, a fight tonight might be more or less auspicious.

The cavalry on the two wings of the Northwest Army didn't seem to love fighting, and they didn't get too entangled with the Xishan Army. Galloping, the Xishan infantry finally formed a formation, and before giving orders, they were already dispersed by the northwest cavalry.

Wei Tianqing is a battle-tested veteran. Seeing the situation on the other side, he has already estimated the number of cavalry on the other side. The cavalry that ambushed in the northwest this time is at least three to four thousand.

"My lord...!" A guard behind him changed his voice, "You...you see...!"

Wei Tianqing was startled, and turned his head hastily, but found that under the night, from behind him, densely packed figures appeared, they were neatly formed infantry formations, each small square formation formed a huge The army formation, with the shield hand in front and the spearman behind, was slowly approaching the river.

"They... they have been ambushing behind us for a long time." Wei's throat was dry, "My lord, we have been ambushed...!"

"Don't make a mess!" Wei Tianqing swung his knife and shouted sharply: "Set up your formation and prepare to meet the enemy!"

Behind him, the Northwest Army formation changed from a slow pace to a swift pace, like a torrent of black steel, speeding up and advancing rapidly towards the river.

The generals of the Xishan Army shouted loudly, barely forming a formation. At this time, they heard the rumble of drums in the opposing army's formation, and some generals of the Xishan Army had already shouted loudly: "Brothers, kill!"

The Xishan Army, which had barely assembled into formation, immediately raised their guns and moved forward, and greeted the Northwest Army behind them.

The armor clanged, the earth shook, and the sound of fighting sounded instantly, echoing the rapids in the river. The front lines of the two sides soon touched each other, and fell into a hand-to-hand fight. Yin Hong's blood kept gushing out, and the spear poked out , The machete broke, and groups of people fell down, blood overflowing.

On the other side of the river bank, the northwest cavalry disrupted the lineup of the Xishan Army, and under the starry sky, a group of infantrymen appeared on the ground like ghosts. Mang quickly rushed towards the chaotic Xishan army formation. Their numbers were not higher than the Xishan army, but the murderous aura was chilling.

Although the speed is advancing extremely fast, the formation is not chaotic at all.

The Xishan Army was exhausted after marching for days. They wanted to eat and rest after crossing the river, but they didn't expect the Northwest Army to attack suddenly. Strategy is of course extremely important. In addition, morale, equipment, physical strength, and the number of troops are also factors for the victory or defeat of both sides.

The equipment of the Xishan Army is not weaker than that of the Northwest Army, or even stronger than that of the Northwest Army. However, the Northwest Army ambushed here and waited for work. Naturally, its physical strength is higher than that of the Xishan Army. Moreover, the Xishan Army was flooded first and then ambushed, and its morale was already low. At the bottom of the valley, as far as the number of troops is concerned, the Northwest Army has carefully prepared to win this ambush, and the number of soldiers and horses is not inferior to that of the Xishan Army.

The Xishan Army was cut into two sections. Comparatively speaking, under the command of Wei Tianqing, the soldiers who had not yet crossed the river could barely fight, but the soldiers after crossing the river were attacked by the Northwest cavalry on both wings. However, many Xishan soldiers were terrified. Behind them was the torrential Liuzi River. Northwest knights riding tall horses came from the two wings and stabbed back and forth. .

Although the Xishan army was at a disadvantage and most of them were in a panic, there were still many Xishan soldiers fighting hard. Although the folk customs of Xishan Road were not as good as that of the Northwest Wilderness, they were still quite resolute, and the two sides strangled together.

On both sides of the Liuzi River, the two sides will be densely packed like ants.

At this time, Wei Tianqing had already taken the lead, leading the soldiers to rush forward to resist the Northwest Army attacking from behind, when he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes from the side, Wei Tianqing knew that something was going to happen, turned his head to look, and as expected, he came from the flank again A group of cavalry appeared, not many in number, not more than a few hundred cavalry, but the sudden appearance of these hundreds of cavalry was a fatal blow to the Xishan Army.

The Xishan Army hastily lined up, all their energies were devoted to dealing with the enemy attacking from behind, and there was no protection on the flanks at all. Even if Wei Tianqing wanted to form protection on the flanks, under such circumstances, it was already impossible to form a frontal battle formation. It is very difficult, and it is undoubtedly whimsical to form a protective formation on the flanks.

The Northwest Army seemed to have expected this a long time ago, knowing that the flanks of the Xishan Army were difficult to form protection, so they dispatched hundreds of cavalry to attack. The Xishan Army formed a fatal blow, but under the current circumstances, these hundreds of cavalry were like a sharp dagger that was shot suddenly, stabbing at the softest weakness of the enemy. While the horses were galloping, hundreds of cavalry had already charged up, and they rushed forward in an instant. Entering the Xishan army formation, the Xishan army formation was rushed to pieces in an instant.

The Northwest Army has a well-organized formation, while the Xishan Army has a messy formation. It is like a fully armed warrior attacking a commoner who is in a hurry everywhere. How can the Xishan Army resist it.

Although there are many brave men in the Xishan Army who fought hard to resist, they were indeed forced to retreat step by step in the face of the well-organized Northwest Army waiting for work. Huddled together and trampled on each other, many people did not die at the hands of the enemy, but died tragically at the feet of their own people.

Wei Tianqing yelled loudly, but he wanted the soldiers to disperse to the two wings, and then outflank them from the two wings, but there were also many soldiers who dispersed to the two wings, but they did not follow Wei Tianqing's order, to form a team from the two wings Instead of outflanking the enemy army, they fled in embarrassment. For a while, the soldiers who were in close contact with the Northwest Army struggled to fight and resist, while more people fled to both sides, forming a trend of collapse.
