The mouth of the Juyang River is still dozens of miles away from the Jie people's camp, so the Jie people did not notice the arrival of the Xianbei people for a while.
Early the next morning, a brand new wooden fence was built at the mouth of the Juyang River to block the entrance of the valley.
After midnight last night, Tian Ying led his troops to take back control of Xiguan Valley Pass during the night.
At that time, the Great Khan of the Jie tribe also realized that it would be difficult to capture Xiguan during this expedition, so after discussing with the generals of various tribes, he decided to return to the grassland.
However, in the early morning of the next day, when their peripheral troops were patrolling, they discovered that there was an inexplicable wall at the mouth of the Juyang River dozens of miles away. Since there were no signs on the wall, it was impossible to determine who had done it. .
However, before they could return, the gate of the camp opened and the Xianbei cavalry poured out one after another.
The patrolling Jie soldiers did not dare to be careless and hurried back to the camp to report what they found. At this time, in the Jie Clan camp, soldiers from all tribes were busy packing their bags.
Shi Le, the great Khan of the Jie tribe, had a look of reluctance on his face, and he looked in the direction of Xiguan with a forlorn look.
"Report!" "Report to the Great Khan that all the Daxia troops in Xiguan are coming towards my camp." A Jie soldier ran to Shi Le and said.
"What did you say? Daxia's army came out?"
"Yes Khan."
Shi Le was a little confused. He didn't know what happened. These timid Daxia troops actually dared to come out of Xiguan. Could it be that they wanted to hunt him down.
"Send the order..." Just as Shi Le was about to give the order, he heard another soldier hurriedly running towards him.
"Report! Report to the Great Khan that the mouth of the Juyang River is blocked by a camp, and tens of thousands of cavalry are coming towards our camp!"
Shi Le looked at the soldiers angrily and shouted: "Fart, where did the tens of thousands of cavalry come from?"
"Yes, they are the Xianbei cavalry." The soldier stuttered back.
Several leaders around Shi Le also panicked when they heard this. Wutanjida, the leader of the Wutan tribe, hurriedly asked: "Have you ever seen clearly how many people there are?"
"I didn't see clearly, but there are at least tens of thousands of people!" the soldier replied.
Utanjida already understood at this time that when they were fighting Xiguan, the Xianbei tribe must have cut off their retreat. In this situation, it seemed that they wanted to encircle and annihilate them.
"Why!"
At this time, Shi Le's face was as dark as water, and the anger in his heart was even stronger. He was not afraid, but instead increased his fighting spirit.
He led the several tribal leaders beside him: "Sudartie and Utanjida will assemble your tribes immediately and follow Ben Khan to meet the Xianbei cavalry. Tugedamie and Chilemu will lead your own troops. Stop those Daxia troops for me."
Utanjida hurriedly said: "Great Khan, no, we should attack the Xianbei army with all our strength at this time. Only by defeating the Xianbei people can we break out of the siege!"
Shi Le kicked Utanjida to the ground and saw him roaring with a ferocious face: "No one can surround us Jie warriors. I want them to know the consequences of daring to confront us Jie warriors in the wild."
Utanjida had no choice but to disperse with the others and return to his headquarters to assemble his troops.
While the Jie tribe soldiers were gathering in panic, the Xianbei tribe's cavalry had quickly arrived at the outskirts of the Jie tribe camp.
Princess Leyang immediately ordered the entire army to attack!
Xiao Chu hurriedly said: "Princess, isn't it agreed on noon? It's still an hour away from noon."
Princess Leyang just glanced at Xiao Chu lightly and said, "Can't you see? I can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, the Jie tribe will form a battle formation."
"The princess is right, we can't wait!" Tologna also said.
"Okay, then listen to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
The 30,000 Jie Clan army rushed towards the panicked Jie Clan soldiers.
At the same time, due to the relatively small number of people in the north of the Jie tribe's camp, the battle formation assembled quickly, and 10,000 cavalry quickly appeared in the north of the Jie tribe's camp.
At this time, in the Xiguan army formation, spearmen were clearing the way and were slowly advancing towards the Jie clan camp.
Listening to the shouts of killing coming from the distance, Lu Biao realized that the fighting on the Xianbei side had already begun. He turned to Wang Dayong beside him and said
"Dayong, it's your turn!"
"Huh? Didn't you say the fight won't start until noon?" Dayong said curiously.
"I can't wait any longer, the Xianbei people have already taken action."
"Oh, they are anxious to take action, so let them fight for a while longer. Why are you so anxious?" Wang Dayong said helplessly.
Lu Biao also hesitated after hearing Wang Dayong's words. He knew what Dayong meant and wanted them to spend more time with each other. But after a while, Lu Biao gave up this idea.
The Jie people are tough by nature. If the Xianbei people are defeated, the situation will become very bad! Thinking of this, Lu Biao still said firmly: "Execute the order and attack the center of the enemy's camp."
"Okay, look at you guys." Wang Dayong responded and left.
His manpower was at the back of the team. The three heartless cannons were quickly positioned under the operation of more than a dozen artillerymen. Following Wang Dayong's order, the three heartless cannons fired at the opposite camp. .
"Boom, boom, boom" three explosive packets exploded in the enemy's camp. All the people and horses in the explosion range of the explosive packets were blown away. The huge explosion also frightened the horses nearby and lost control, and began to run wildly.
Listening to the huge explosion, many soldiers remembered the huge noise that night. Many Jie tribe soldiers began to become fearful and uneasy. No matter who they were, they were both curious and fearful about unknown things.
The Daxia army was still approaching, and Tugedamim felt that he could not wait any longer and must launch an attack in time to ensure the advantage of the cavalry.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and decisively ordered an attack on the Daxia army's camp. A distance of two hundred meters and a few breaths later, the real battle finally began.
The Daxia army relied on the spear array in the front row to effectively prevent the impact of the Jie tribe's cavalry. Countless Zhuge's crossbows began to fire, and arrows shot overwhelmingly towards the Jie tribe's camp in front.
Bows and arrows were originally the best weapons of the Jie tribe, but after several days of fighting, the arrows they carried had been exhausted during the daily siege, and they could only rely on the impact of the cavalry.
Although the spear array effectively stopped most of the cavalry charges, there were still a few places where the Jie tribe's cavalry broke through.
The Jie cavalry rushed into the formation and knocked some Daxia soldiers away. However, as the cavalry continued to penetrate and hit, the speed of the cavalry quickly slowed down.
The Daxia soldiers who seized the opportunity hurriedly stepped forward and stabbed the Jie soldiers who rushed into the formation together with their horses with thorns.
Seeing that the front row attack was fruitless, the Jie people began to move towards the two wings of the Daxia army, trying to disrupt the opponent's formation by outflanking the two wings.
However, Mo Yu and Fan Zhi, who were commanding the defense on the flank, were well prepared. Seeing the Jie cavalry rushing towards the flank, they hurriedly ordered the troops to get into a defensive position. They still combined the spear and shield. They put the spear on the shield and the back end against the ground. .
Since there were only two thousand people carrying out the flank attack, the damage to the flanks was not great. Coupled with the firing of crossbows in the formation, the two thousand Jie cavalry on both wings were quickly contained.
Cavalry without the ability to charge would not be much of a threat.
Just as the two sides were fighting fiercely, three cannon shots rang out again, and soon three explosions exploded again in the formation of the Jie tribe troops.
The huge explosion caused many Jie soldiers to lose their will to fight. Many people began to shout, it was the sky thunder, the sky thunder punished us.
Tugetami and Chilemu looked at the messy Jie tribe camp in front of them with sad expressions on their faces. Since there was no corresponding combat deployment before the war, the attacks between the various tribes are now unsystematic.
"Let the troops withdraw first. It will be difficult to break through Daxia's military formation." Tugodami said. His tribe had lost too many people in the past few days. He didn't want to see his tribe continue to be so helpless. Meaningful sacrifice.
Chilemu also had a sad look on his face. He looked at the unknown explosion that blew the men and horses into the sky. He didn't know what it was, but it made him feel uneasy and scared.
"Command, everyone retreat to the camp and defend!" Chilemu ordered to the soldiers behind him.
Then a huge horn sounded, and the Jie soldiers who were unable to break through the Daxia camp began to retreat one after another, while the Daxia army continued to advance in an orderly manner.
What Chilemu didn't expect was that he realized he had made a huge mistake only after his order was issued. That is, it is difficult for so many cavalry to withdraw to the camp effectively and safely.
Many Jie soldiers had become panicked, and the entrance to the camp was quickly blocked. It was difficult for the soldiers on the outside to rush into the camp. Facing the Daxia army approaching from behind, many Jie soldiers either whipped their horses wildly or fled in all directions.
Lu Biao, who seized the opportunity, ordered the whole army to charge and kill. Then several generals got on their respective horses and led their troops to quickly charge towards the Jie clan army.
While the battle was taking place on the northern battlefield, the situation on the southern battlefield was even more tragic.
Because no arrangements had been made in advance, the Xianbei tribe's cavalry had already charged in, and the Jie tribe's cavalry camp was completely dispersed.
The military orders issued by Shile, the great Khan of the Jie tribe, completely lost their meaning, and a large-scale pursuit and killing scene began in the Shanggu Plain. Shi Le, protected by two thousand guards, broke out of the encirclement and charged toward the southwest.
As the personal troops of the Jie Clan Great Khan, these Jie Clan soldiers are elite forces, and their combat effectiveness is also extremely strong. It is difficult for ordinary troops to stop them.
Xiao Chu looked at the two thousand cavalry who escaped from the encirclement and cursed: "Damn it, why hasn't that guy Hou Tai arrived yet?"
"I will lead people to chase!" Le Yang said, then turned his horse's head and led a group of people to chase the fleeing Jie tribe cavalry.
Shi Le, who escaped, saw the troops led by Hou Tai not far away, and couldn't help but cursed in his heart.
Hou Tai was shocked when he saw a group of cavalry rushing towards him quickly.
"Gather up to meet the enemy," he shouted.
However, he soon saw that the Jie cavalry who were charging towards them made a ninety-degree turn and then galloped away in another direction.
Seeing this, Hou Tai let out a sigh of relief, and then his eyes suddenly stared, secretly thinking, maybe the battle has already begun.
He stared blankly at a group of Jie tribe soldiers leaving in the distance, but he didn't know that it was because of him that it was very possible that Shi Le, the Jie tribe's great Khan, had escaped this time.
