In the evening, the setting sun was as bloody as the wilderness, and in the wilderness, galloping cavalry approached the heavily guarded chariot formation like a tide. When passing by the formation, arrows were shot into the formation. Carriages were connected to each other, and many arrows were inserted in the carriage. Although the crossbowman behind the carriage was ready, he did not shoot arrows easily because he had not received the order.

Military law: Those who shoot arrows without permission during a war will be killed.

Such strict military law is to prevent one person from suddenly shooting arrows and others from shooting arrows. In this case, people are often scared by the enemy soldiers who rushed to the scene and shoot arrows before the opponent approaches the effective killing distance of the arrow.

The consequences of shooting arrows without authorization are very serious. The so-called three arrows at the forefront, not only is it wasted a chance to kill the enemy without authorization, but it also wastes arrows. For the besieged army, this will be fatal.

At this moment, the reason why the generals did not order the arrows was because the distance was too bare. The enemy cavalry almost brushed seventy steps away from the formation, and the opponent's arrows were not very lethal at all, and it was just to bluff and deceive the arrows.

Cavalry besieged infantry, just like hunting dogs siege prey. At first, they would not pounce directly on, but instead encircled left and right, forcing the prey to flee desperately in panic, and consumed a lot of physical strength in a short period of time.

Only when the prey is exhausted will the hound pounce on it and bite it.

Therefore, even if there are enemies around the chariot array now, they are constantly moving. The strange cavalry and soldiers in the chariot array should not panic. The more you are at this time, the more calm you should be. Without orders, you must never shoot arrows without authorization.

The enemy's drums have never stopped, like an invisible hammer hitting people's hearts. Although the soldiers fought hard for a day and were besieged by the enemy, there were no reinforcements in a hurry, but everyone was still full of fighting spirit and was waiting to fight to the death with the enemy.

No one thinks that they will lose because their coach is the King of Xiyang, known as the "every-winning" King of Xiyang.

The chariot array is a large array composed of several small chariot arrays. The carriages are connected to the ends as barriers. Behind the chariot are soldiers waiting for battle, and in the middle of the chariot array, many young and strong men are busy digging wells. Just like when they were fighting with Yuchi Youqi's army before, they appeared on the battlefield.

There is a river several miles south of the chariot array, called Sandshui, but under the siege of the enemy cavalry, we can no longer approach Sandshui, and we cannot take the river water to quench our thirst for the soldiers and horses, let alone make fires and cook.

However, with the water wells that are dug, there are cooking trucks that can cook and boil water at any time, and vehicles that carry firewood and drinking water, this is not a problem.

Next to the cooking cart, the chefs were busy heating the cook cakes and boiling water so that the soldiers could replenish their diet. The baskets of hot cook cakes and pots of steaming broth were carried by the young and strong to the preparation team for the soldiers who were about to take turns to guard the cart.

Many soldiers were wounded and covered with mottled blood on their armor. They were the battle marks left when they retreated today, while the wounded were concentrated in one place, and the military doctor and apprentice were responsible for taking care of them.

These wounded soldiers also received a hot meal, and some people helped feed the wounded soldiers who were inconvenient to move.

The timely diet warmed the hearts of the tired soldiers. At this moment, the Xiyang Wang Yuwen Wen, who had not eaten yet, was even more passionate in his heart because he was surrounded by others.

The enemies besieging him seemed to be cavalry, with an extremely considerable number, and certainly no less than ten thousand cavalry.

Looking at the tide of cavalry outside the chariot formation, Yuwen Wen remembered the Battle of Chai Village.

Before, the Hulin Army fought to the death with 20,000 cavalrymen in Chai Village. The battle was so dark that the Hulin Army soldiers fought bloody battles and forced the opponent to break up.

At that time, Yu Wen Wen was still standing in Xuanhu City. Afterwards, when he heard the generals such as Tian Zhengyue talk about it, he felt his blood boiling. Now, he really felt how shocking the scene that day was.

The team with tens of thousands of people and boundless numbers exceeds ten thousand cavalry is even more powerful. It is surrounded by so many cavalrymen in the plains and cannot escape. There are no reinforcements in a short period of time. This is a great psychological pressure for the besieged people.

Yuwen Wen was under greater psychological pressure because his plot was bankrupt. He wanted to forcibly march westward, but was intercepted halfway. The opponent had invested so many cavalry, so he should have been prepared.

What happened like this means that his plot has been seen through by the other party.

Both legs can't run four legs, and cavalry is not as good as humans. They are so frustrated when fighting, but Yuwen Wen is not afraid because he has confidence in his soldiers. Even though he is in the plain now and is surrounded by so many cavalrymen, relying on the chariot formation and the soldiers with high morale are enough to waste with the other side.

However, it was not a heavy blow at this time. Without the blockage of the harsh weather, it would be more convenient to mobilize the enemy cavalry, and the enemy was prepared. I am afraid this battle is even more dangerous than the Battle of Chai Village.

So what? In a war, you cut me down, I cut you down, if you can't cut me to death, I will cut you to death!!

Yuwen Wen thought, picked up the pancake and took a bite. In the battle of Chai Village, Yuchi Dun ran away. He didn't know if Yuchi Dun would lead his troops south in person this time. If the other party was at the scene, he would fight his life and kill the other party.

Be optimistic and laugh even when facing the sea of ​​swords and fires. Yuwen Wen feels that since he has chosen this path, he will have to finish even if he kneels down!

......

In the small car formation at a corner of the big car formation, Han Qinhu, the marching chief manager, was using a thousand-mile mirror to observe the enemy situation. The generals of each division kept sending people to report the enemy situation outside. He wanted to make a judgment based on this to see if his small formation could hold on and when the opponent would launch a strong attack.

Outside the chariot formation, the enemy cavalry kept approaching and shooting arrows. While his archers shot down many enemies, there were quite a lot of casualties. Han Qinhu knew that the opponent was just constantly testing and did not really have to attack with all his strength.

On the side, Li Jing and his troops seized the time to eat together. The enemy cavalry were numerous and they were chasing and blocking them all day long. It seemed that the opponent was afraid that they would launch a full-scale attack at night, so everyone should reserve their energy for the upcoming bloody battle.

Night battles are very troublesome because vision is blocked. Whether it is to ignite or not, there are advantages and disadvantages for both the enemy and us. In infantry and cavalry confrontation, infantry has some advantages at night.

The premise is that the soldiers are not afraid of death, otherwise the iron-killed person will collapse after being surrounded here for a few days.

Li Jing did not think that his soldiers were weak soldiers, because they could slept in the wild after traveling 100 miles a day, and had been fighting since midnight. Even if their soldiers were not the most brave in the world, they could be called first-class strong soldiers.

The army with the Hulin Army of Xiyang King as the core fought against Yuchi Dun's 20,000 cavalry during the Battle of Chai Village, and defeated the opponent after a bloody battle. Li Jing heard of this great victory. The current situation should be similar to that at that time, but he felt that the opponent would not repeat the same mistakes.

Li Jing judged that if he could mobilize so many cavalry to fight, his commander was probably the treacherous prime minister Yuchi Dun. Li Jing felt that if Yuchi Dun had visited the battlefield in person, he would definitely learn from the lessons of the last defeat and would not let the result of the Battle of Chai Village happen again.

In this way, the two sides will sooner or later have a fierce battle, and I don’t know what the final result will be.

Li Jing was a little fascinated as he thought about it. His brother Li Yaowang had just reported the military situation to Han Qinhu. Seeing that he was thinking about the matter, he walked over and asked softly: "Why are you thinking about the battle example again?"

"A case of war? Why did my brother say that?"

King Li Yaowang did not answer immediately, but looked around. His large carriage array was laid around a mound. At this time, the dusk was deep. He raised his eyes to look around. In addition to the enemy cavalry, the wilderness was full of desolation. He suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously:

"When I was digging a well, I dug out a human bone!"

Li Jing felt inexplicably surprised when he heard this: "What's strange about this?"

"Haha, of course there is nothing else, do you know where this place is?"

Li Jing felt his brother inexplicably more and more: "The military officer said that this is near the ancient city of Ningping...ah! Could it be..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Jing remembered what this place was.

In the late years of Yongjia, the King of Donghai, Sima Yue, who was stationed in Xiangcheng (this time in Moling), died of illness. The Grand Marshal Wang Yan led the army to escort Sima Yue's coffin to the Donghai Kingdom. The court officials, royal families and people were accompanied by more than 100,000.

Shi Le, a general stationed in Xuchang, led the cavalry to pursue the army and civilians of Jin when he heard the news. He caught up with the military and civilian team of Jin near Ningping City in Ku County (this time, Luyi).

Although the Jin army was large in number, the commander Wang Yan, who led the troops, did not know the soldiers. The senior officials were intrigue and the troops of each unit had no unified order. The soldiers were in chaos in front of the constantly haunted Han cavalry and rushed to escape regardless of everything. The entire army collapsed instantly, and the massacre followed.

The soldiers who put down their weapons and the unarmed civilians were trampled on each other and were cruelly killed by the enemy. From the royal kings to the common people, they all turned into lambs under the butcher knife of the Shile cavalry.

More than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Jin State were everywhere, and the inside and outside of Ningping City turned into mountains of corpses and seas of blood, just like Shura hell. This battle was called the Battle of Ningping City (the Battle of Kuxian), also known as the Difficulty of Ningping City.

Thinking of this, Li Jing looked up and looked around. Now that he is near the ancient city of Ningping, it means that under his feet is the land that was stained with blood from more than 100,000 Jin soldiers and civilians.

Looking at the countless enemy cavalry outside the chariot formation, Li Jing couldn't help but frown.

In front of the war-friendly cavalry, no matter how many infantry soldiers are, if they are not careful, the entire army will collapse and end up in a miserable end. Li Jing looked towards the direction of the central army. He wanted to know how the King of Xiyang would deal with the current crisis in order to make the army safe.
