It was the Feilian reconnaissance team led by Feng Shang who used air superiority to kill the messengers one by one.

Buy as much time as possible for the heavy cavalry.

………

Greywater River Camp.

"General, there's something moving on the other side!" A spy came to report.

Inside the camp.

In addition to the third division commander Xue Rengui, there are also the guard division commander Bai Chuan and the garrison division commander Zhang Liao.

The Chang'an army gathered on the banks of the Gray Water River mainly included the Third Division, the Shenwu Brigade under the Guards Division, the Yingyang Brigade under the Fourth Division, and 6,000 soldiers of the Garrison Division.

A total of 23,500 elite troops.

In Chang'an City, although the garrison division sent 6,000 soldiers to participate in the battle, the defense was not empty.

Because there are 7,500 new recruits.

It was Qin Shuang who replaced the prisoners of war in the three counties of Denton with the lords of Zunlong Kingdom one by one, and then transferred them all to second-level infantry overnight, temporarily taking charge of the defense of Chang'an City.

When necessary.

This force can even be pulled out of the city to support the front line.

"Let's go and have a look!"

Xue Rengui led the generals out of the camp and came to the observation platform specially built on the river bank.

Raise the telescope.

The enemy's movements on the other side of the river can be seen at a glance.

The main force of the 50,000-strong coalition army stationed on the banks of the Gray Water River was divided into five groups: the front army, the middle army, the rear army, the left army and the right army, each with 10,000 horses.

The front, middle and rear armies are deployed opposite the Huishui River Camp.

The left army and the right army, as the left and right wings, were arranged in a long snake formation along the Gray Water River.

Always monitor every move on the other side.

After the arrival of Governor Duke, the 50,000 coalition troops quickly formulated a retreat plan, which was divided into three steps -

The first step is for the central army and the rear army to withdraw first.

In the second step, the front army, left army, and right army each withdraw half.

The third step is to evacuate the remaining half.

The three armies alternately cover, that is—

After the central army and the rear army retreated ten miles, they formed a formation on the spot and waited;

The second batch of withdrawing troops also formed a formation after marching twenty miles;

Then the third batch.

This alternating cycle ensures that no one of the three armies will be attacked by surprise.

When Xue Rengui led the generals to the observation tower, the enemy's central and rear armies were retreating in an orderly manner, while the front army, left army and right army were all in combat mode and ready for battle.

"Something, but not enough!"

"Send the order, all the archers and crossbowmen from all units should enter their predetermined battle positions!"

"yes!"

Immediately a flag bearer waved the flag.

For a while.

More than 20,000 Chang'an troops also seemed to wake up, quickly formed formations and entered combat mode.

It is also divided into three major sections.

On the left and right wings, two brigades under the Third Division were responsible for monitoring the enemy forces on the other side.

The Chinese Army concentrated the Shenwu Brigade under the Guards Division, the Yingyang Brigade under the Fourth Division, the Xiaowei Brigade, the Baili Brigade and the Wuwei Brigade under the Third Division.

There are four elite archer battalions, four elite crossbow battalions and four elite spear battalions under the garrison division.

From the very beginning.

Just put on an offensive formation.

Following Xue Rengui's order, the elite archer battalions of each standard infantry brigade and the crossbowmen of the garrison division quickly came to the front of the military formation.

He stretched his bow and drew his string, aiming at the enemy on the other side of the river.

As a county tributary, the Gray Water River is less than 100 meters wide at its widest point, and is only 40 meters wide at its narrowest point, where the Gray Water River Bridge is located.

Therefore, the coalition troops stationed on the other side of the river were always within the range of the archers.

At this moment.

Finally, his ferocious fangs were revealed.
