Ten miles away from Xiangshui Town, Shangguan Biao, who was once envied, jealous and hated, happily listened to the response of the squadron. A southern army of thousands of people was rushing towards Xiangshui Town. Looking at the banner, it was another private army from Tongzhou.

Shangguan Biao made a pocket on the other side's way forward. One thousand people on the left wing were ambushed in Xujiapengzi Village, about five miles away from the preset battlefield, and one thousand people on the right wing were ambushing around the same Jiaowan Village. He himself led 2,500 people to block the opponent's way forward to fight head-on. The only five hundred cavalry under his command were reserved, preparing to reach the rear of the enemy after the war broke out and cut off the opponent's retreat. Shangguan Biao was very worried and wanted to completely eat the reinforcements of the Southern Army.

General Wang Qiang had already said that the first merits of this battle should be remembered for Zeng Ke. In other words, Shangguan Biao must not be able to catch a chicken head, so he would do a beautiful job to make Zeng Ke. In fact, Shangguan Biao and Zeng Ke had a good personal relationship, but in terms of official business, Ding is Ding and Mao is Mao. There are a large number of generals under their command who are eager to make meritorious service and promotion! Anyway, although Zeng Ke won this battle, he did not win beautifully, and it was very lucky to win. Shangguan Biao returned the game for Zeng Ke, thinking that if it weren't for luck, Zeng Ke might have won the battle. He could think of it, and Zeng Ke knew it well. Thinking that Zeng Ke must be very upset now, Shangguan Biao was overjoyed.

With a big knife and spreading his legs apart, Shangguan Biao stood in front of his 2,500 subordinates very awesomely. He was indifferent, but the two personal soldiers beside him seemed very nervous. They each held a shield and stood beside Shangguan Biao. They were ready to pounce on him at any time to block the arrows that might be shot in for Shangguan Biao.

Qiu Kailai was much older than Gu Xinghe. When he was young, he was at the level of Zhenwu Captain in Tongzhou Town Army. Later, the enemy family prepared to quietly set up a private army. Qiu Kailai left the army and returned to the enemy family to be responsible for the establishment of the entire enemy family's private army. This private army gradually expanded from the initial hundreds of people to the current five thousand people. The equipment was also changing with each passing day. With the beginning of the Great Vietnamese turmoil, the enemy family spared no effort to build this army that belonged to their family.

The Qiu Gu family was a family of Tongzhou, and they had a good relationship for generations. They had close contacts between the two parties. They had always been in the same spirit in Tongzhou. Speaking of which, Gu Xinghe had to call Qiu Kailai a uncle, so Gu Xinghe was in danger. Qiu Kailai led his troops to rescue him without hesitation.

There was a blockage in front of me, so Qiu Kailai was not panicked. The number of opponents was not large, not to mention that Qiu Kailai was as confident as Gu Xinghe for the army he built. However, seeing Shangguan Biao standing in front of the army so loudly made Qiu Kailai startled and then happy.

Is this how the extremely powerful army of the Northern Expedition Army fought in the legend? The general stood in front to boost morale? The general took the lead in charge and led the army. Qiu Kailai couldn't help but despise him in his heart. He was indeed young and energetic. He really thought he had the courage to be inappropriate?

"The cavalry rushed forward, the infantry followed, defeated the enemy in one fell swoop, and rescued friendly troops!" Qiu Kailai pulled out his sword from his waist and shouted loudly, waving the flags and sounding war drums. The hundreds of cavalrymen, as the vanguard, shouted and destroyed the horses and launched an attack on the enemy not far away. The distance between the four roads was just right to exert the impact ability of the cavalry.

Shangguan Biao didn't even blink, but if he was closer, he could see the corners of his mouth curled upwards, as if he couldn't help laughing.

"Kill!" The cavalry shouts shocked Yun Xiao, and the infantry behind him trotted and followed, and the spears stretched forward while running, still forming a forest of guns.

"It's true that the atmosphere of the Great Vietnamese army is a bit like a big Vietnamese army!" Shangguan Biao suddenly turned to his personal soldiers and said, "Look at how well this military formation is, although it runs like an earthworm, at least it can still see a little formation."

The two personal soldiers stared at the size of a copper bell, staring straight ahead. If they hadn't heard of Shangguan Biao's words, Shangguan Biao was so boring that he couldn't help but feel so frustrated, and said angrily: "What's there to be nervous? If I lose to these grandsons, then I will go find a big tree immediately and hang it with a rope."

The guards still ignored it. Shangguan Biao was responsible for the war and they were responsible for Shangguan Biao's safety. If Shangguan Biao had an accident, the two of them would be the last one. They would either die or be driven back to be their big-headed soldiers.

No one paid attention to Shangguan Biao. Shangguan Biao could only turn around and look at the opponent's cavalry getting closer and closer. He could see the other's faces. He was full of glaring eyes and his face was flushed with excitement.

"It's indeed the first time to go to war!" Shangguan Biao spat on the ground disdainfully. He had seen the wooden faces of Meng Qi when he charged, with expressionless expression. He slashed his face with blood without blinking. Some even stuck out their tongues to lick it. Shangguan Biao also thought this action was cool at the beginning and tried it on the battlefield, but the taste was not very good. It was sour and fishy, ​​far less than cow blood and chicken blood, and there was a sweet smell.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven..." Shangguan Biao counted in a long distance. The cavalry was less than two hundred steps away from them. At this distance, they had already entered the range of the Northern Army. But strangely, Shangguan Biao did not give the order, and the archers and crossbowmen behind him were not panicked at all. The arrows were raised, and everyone stared at the front with their eyes, as if waiting for something.

"Three, two, one, fall!" Shangguan Biao shouted happily. The seemingly flat ground, when the horse's hooves stepped on, the horse suddenly fell off and fell down with his foot. Just over two hundred steps away from Shangguan Biao, the enemy cavalry who rushed to the front fell one after another.

The North Army's mobility was fast enough that Shangguan Biao arrived here and after he arranged the pocket tactics, he was lucky that he dug a series of trenches on the road where the enemy was attacking.

The ditch is not deep, only a foot, and if someone step on it, it will only sprain his ankle. If he reacts quickly, even this minor injury can be avoided. But when the speed of the war horse reaches the fastest, he will suffer. Shangguan Biao's cleverness is that he calculated that Qiu Kailai would inevitably use cavalry to attack his military formation, and then he would follow the infantry. Moreover, he even acted as a disdainful attitude to anger his opponent. Sure enough, Qiu Kailai, who is worldly and experienced, was fooled by no means unexpectedly.

The front row of cavalry fell down, and the back was like a melon and gourd. They were tripped to the ground from one after another. The fast-reacting horses jumped up, but about one step ahead, there was still a second ditch waiting for them. The front hooves of the war horses were on the ground. Before the horse was ready to feel lucky, the knights felt lucky, and then stepped into the pit in the second step.

The people behind saw that the situation was not good, so they tried their best to turn. The good equestrian passed by the side of the fallen comrades. The people with a little worse equestrian could not control the rapid turn of the horse. The center of gravity was slightly unstable, and they fell to the ground with the horse. The cavalry who went around the side did not get any benefits. There was no ditch there, but there were so many caltrops on the ground, and their fate was not much better than those who fell into the ditch.

"Shoot!" An excited voice roared behind Shangguan Biao. What a good target. There is no such a good opportunity to fight the Mongolian army. The horseman's equestrian is so good. When the horse is controlled, the feather arrows often chase the enemy behind them. Seven or eight out of the ten arrows fell into nothing. Now, the arrows are chasing their lives and crossbows are robbing the soul.

With a buzzing sound, the sky was suddenly filled with rain of arrows like locusts.

One round, two rounds, three rounds! After three rounds, the cavalry was destroyed, hundreds of cavalry, either the men and horses were killed, or the horses were killed. The horses had a big target, and each war horse was shot like a hedgehog.

Qiu Kailai's eyes suddenly turned bloody. It was not easy for Qiu Kailai to save these hundreds of cavalry. It was easy to practice infantry and buy armor. It would not take much effort to build it yourself. However, it was difficult to find war horses in Tongzhou. In order to save this cavalry, in addition to spending a lot of money, he also had to deal with some of them and bribe officials. They were all treasures, and they disappeared like this. Qiu Kailai couldn't believe his eyes.

The imaginary powerful cavalry dispersed the enemy's army formation, and the infantry followed up, and the tactic of killing all directions was shattered. Before Qiu Kailai could even come back to his senses from his reverie, his cavalry was gone.

Ideals are full, but reality is often too skinny.

"Kill!" Qiu Kailai's eyes were red and his sword was waving. The enemies drummers who were stunned by the tragic scene just now and forgot to beat the drums suddenly woke up from Qiu Kailai's roar, danced the drumsticks, and hit them desperately, but everyone's reaction was fast and slow. As for the drum, the drums were not so neat.

Shangguan Biao laughed loudly, drew his sword with both hands, took a step forward, bowed in front and back, and had a standard lunge.

"Presisting the Northern Army!" he shouted loudly.

"Wansheng!" The soldiers of the North Army who had been silent burst into thunderous shouts.

"Kill!" Shangguan Biao pointed in front of the long sword.

"Wansheng!" The soldiers roared, and the tide rushed past Shangguan Biao like a tide, and rushed towards the enemy opposite him.

The hand-to-hand combat begins.

Although all the cavalry were lost, the proportion of infantry was still 2 to 1. The 5,000 soldiers against the 2,500 soldiers of the Northern Army were afraid of the 2,500 brave Qiu Kailai, who was already in the forefront of the army, had already thought of eating Shangguan Biao. However, Shangguan Biao, who had previously stood in front of the army, was already in the middle of his army, in front of him, and behind him, the soldiers of the Northern Army were lined up in a large circular formation, with three layers inside and three layers outside.

This large circular array is rotating, which is the scene that Qiu Kailai saw. Every time he rotates, the soldiers will change positions, the outermost layer retreats, and the second row comes up. The cycle goes back and forth, and it never stops.
