A six thousand cavalry was heading south in a mighty way. These were the six thousand reinforcements led by Cao Meng. They set out from Runzhou and arrived in Wuxi County after two days of day and night.

Lu Zhiyuan, the magistrate of Wuxi, had already received Li Yanqing's instructions in advance. When Cao Meng's 6,000 cavalry arrived, he immediately took the yamen runners to pull out dozens of large trucks, which contained two thousand stones of freshly steamed black beans, which were very beneficial for the war horses to recover their physical strength. There were hundreds of fat pigs and food to reward the army. Cao Meng was overjoyed and ordered the soldiers to go to the county town to rest and recover their physical strength as soon as possible.

At this time, a sending army sent by Li Yanqing also arrived in Wuxi County and handed the commander's letter to Cao Meng.

"What did the governor say in the letter?" Deputy General Gao Chong walked up to him and asked.

Cao Meng handed the letter to Gao Chong, "The general manager said that he would fight the enemy to the decisive battle, and we still have one day to prepare."

"Let's set off at the first update!"

After reading the channel, Gao Chong said: "It takes at least half a day to go from here to the battlefield. We can slow down our marching speed, but it is best to arrive at the battlefield before dawn."

Cao Meng calculated the time and distance, and it was almost enough to march overnight. "Okay! That's it, let's go at the first update!"

It rained all night yesterday, and the ground was very slippery. Although the rain had stopped, the sky was still covered with dark clouds and strong winds blew.

Flags are waving, and the wilderness is filled with the fishy smell of soil and grass. Although it is already summer, there is still a little chill in the moist air.

On the north side of the battlefield, the 65,000 Jiangnan Army had already established its position, including bows, crossbows, spearmen, swords and shields, and a thousand cavalry.

Except for leaving 5,000 people to guard the camp, the rest of the troops were all deployed on the battlefield.

Among them, the 10,000 most sharp Tiger Ben Army was the central army, and Xiang Fa surrounded the middle of the team. Xiang Fa immediately stood under a yellow dragon flag, looking at a black line in the distance with complex eyes.

Zheng Chen led 10,000 Feixiong Army as the front army, and there were 15,000 people on each wing, commanded by generals Zhu Hongying and Guo Huaisu.

The rear army was led by general Li Mo, leading 15,000 people. The entire formation was distributed in diamond shapes and the structure was relatively compact. This was also the result of repeated considerations of Xiangfa. His army's combat power was uneven. If it was too scattered, it would be easy to be defeated by people.

"Set out!" Xiangfu gave an order.

Hundreds of big drums were beaten together, and the rumbling drum sound was like thunder. The 65,000 army began to slowly move south.

The 40,000 Jingzhao Army did not attack immediately, but stopped five miles away. Their training intensity these days was very high, and the soldiers were a little tired, and it was not good for them to go into battle immediately.

The soldiers of the Jingzhao Army used this moment to sit and rest. The cavalry dismounted and drank water for the war horses, fed the fodder, and hurriedly ate a few bites of dry food to fill their stomachs.

At this time, drums were heard from the Jiangnan Army's position in the distance, and a lookout soldier on the high platform shouted: "Report to the commander, the enemy has come to us!"

Li Yanqing stared at the distance. It was morning, and several rays of sunlight shone out from the dense dark clouds, illuminating the wilderness highlands in the distance. The army led by Xiangfa was moving towards this side step by step. They also saw that the Jingzhao army had not stabilized its position and began to take the initiative.

Li Yanqing immediately ordered coldly: "The army is ready for battle immediately!"

"Woo"

The low trumpet sounded over the Jingzhao army, and the rapid sound of war drums also sounded. The soldiers of the Jingzhao army stood up to prepare for war, the cavalry got on their horses, tightened the reins, posed bows and arrows, and slowly raised their spears.

Under the gloomy dark clouds, the Jingzhao army formed an inverted triangle army formation, with flags floating and armor black. In front of them were three thousand cavalrymen. They were the horns of the inverted triangle. The spears on the cavalry formed a sharp forest. The gloomy heaven and earth were full of murderous aura, which was enough to prevent any opponent from underestimating the enemy.

Xiangfa's army stopped three miles away. The Jiangnan Army stretched for three miles in width. The crossbowmen on the left and right wings took the lead. They rushed to the front of the team. Eight thousand crossbowmen lined up in three rows, waiting for the battle. They looked forward to the cavalry of the Jingzhao Army to launch an attack first so that their bows and arrows could exert their power.

But the Jingzhao Army did not launch an attack, both sides were waiting. Li Yanqing looked at the sky. It was already drizzling. Li Yanqing smiled slightly and ordered: "The whole army is waiting patiently. Without my order, no one is allowed to attack!"

Time passes by little by little, and both sides confront each other, and neither of them takes the initiative to attack, just as if they are testing perseverance and endurance, and it depends on who can't hold on first.

Most of the summer rains are thunderstorms and will not last long. Just when the showers are about to stop, a cavalry rushed to Xiangfa and whispered to him.

Xiangfa's face changed. He forgot that the rain had a great impact on the bowstring. A rain just now greatly reduced the range of the bow and crossbow, and its strength and strength were weakened.

This means that the crossbow formation he had discharged had actually failed. Xiang Fa was very anxious and quickly ordered: "General Lei and General Qiu's flanking spearmen are on the verge of the crossbow army, and the crossbow army retreats!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a general suddenly pointed at the other party’s camp and shouted: “Master, it seems that the other party is moving!”

Xiangfa hurriedly focused his mind and looked into the distance. He saw that the Jingzhao Army's formation began to change. Hundreds of shield soldiers dodged, revealing the black cavalry behind them.

"not good!"

Xiang Fa suddenly realized the other party's intention and shouted: "Come off guard quickly!"

At the same time, the Jingzhao cavalry launched.

"Cavals attack!"

With the order of Li Yanqing, the war drums rumbled, and the red and blue flags danced on the command platform. This was the order for the cavalry to attack. The cavalry of the Jingzhao Army suddenly launched, and the sharp-angled cavalry of the triangular formation rushed out, just like the hard horns of a rhino. The earth shook, and the powerful cavalry came unstoppable.

Eight thousand bows and crossbows were frightened and stumbled toward both sides, revealing the ten thousand flying bears behind them.

The drum sounded again, and the two cavalry quickly divided into two black surging frenzys. Under the leadership of two side generals, they went to the enemy's left and right wings. Their goal was to chase and kill the retreating crossbowmen.

At this time, the red flag waved on the podium, and Liu Qi shouted, "Brothers, kill with me!"

"Kill!"

Ten thousand spearmen rushed out, and the spears were densely packed like a forest. The soldiers ran hard in the cold wind and rain, with a tragic and surging momentum, which changed the sky and the earth.

At the same time, the low trumpet of the Jingzhao Army sounded, and the ten thousand new troops deployed on the left wing, led by Wang Gui, suddenly launched an attack, and they rushed towards the right wing of the Jiangnan Army.

On the other hand, Yang Zaixing also led 10,000 new troops on the right wing to fight toward the Jiangnan Army's left wing, while Li Yanqing personally led 10,000 central troops to slowly follow up and support the battle on the third line at any time.

General Zhu Hongying led 15,000 to form the left wing of the Jiangnan Army. When he saw a thousand cavalry retreating straight to the left wing, he was anxious and shouted, leading three thousand spearmen to the battle of the 1,000 Jingzhao cavalry. Both sides were getting closer and closer, with the spear tips shining and the momentum was booming.

At this time, the general of the cavalry suddenly shouted, "Go around!" He rode his horse northward, and a thousand cavalry followed him around the vanguard of the Jiangnan Army and rushed towards the retreating crossbow army.

The cavalry's high maneuverability was fully displayed at this moment. They rushed into the hands of thousands of Jiangnan troops who were retreating with a destructive momentum.

Hundreds of Jiangnan Army crossbowmen rolled to the ground under the powerful impact of the cavalry. In an instant, people's heads rolled, blood splashed, and wailed in a circle. Knife slashed spears, war horses collided, war horses galloped in the crowd, crossbow army could not use bows and arrows in the rain, and they could not resist this extremely sharp Jingzhao cavalry. Four thousand crossbowmen were torn apart, with heavy casualties.

When Zhu Hongying led his army to come, the cavalry of the Jingzhao Army had killed nearly half of the crossbowmen, rushed out of the enemy formation, and went around a great circle to return to the formation.

At this time, the 10,000 Jingzhao Right-wing Army led by Yang Zaixing arrived, and Zhu Hongying had to rectify the army and horses and turn around to fight. The two armies collided with each other, and the guns hit each other, and the two armies fought fiercely.

At this time, the main force of the 10,000 Jingzhao Army led by Liu Qi arrived and rushed towards the Jiangnan Army overwhelmingly. Xiang Fa was prepared and said coldly: "Order Zheng Chen to fight with all his might!"
