The camp on the eastern foot of the Qizi Mountain stood on the official road, and dug shallow moats about two miles into the frozen hard soil on both sides, and set them up with wood.

If the barbarian cavalry wants to quickly run south from the east side of Qizishan camp, they can only walk into the bumpy and uneven wilderness.

The torch lighting is limited, and usually, the cavalry will suppress the speed when forcing their troops.

However, even though more than a thousand cavalry had just experienced a super-high-intensity forced marching before, they had just settled in Liulingou Village and gathered again after more than two hours of rest, the speed of marching south with fire was much faster than that of Chen Zhenye, Yuan Lei and the others imagined.

Chen Zhenye, Yuan Lei led 200 cavalrymen, and after dark, he pulled into a low ridge wood on the east side of the valley to lurk. When they saw this scene, they frowned deeply.

At the same time, Xu Wuqi and Chen Zixiao also ignited the piles of bonfires deployed on the east side of the camp.

I had expected this place to become a battlefield, and I dug many traps, buried some traps, and piled up a lot of firewood to be used for night battles.

Teams of infantry also emerged from the camp at the same time, quickly extending eastward, preparing to form a formation to intercept the captive cavalry.

Although the messenger sent by Xu Wuji had not arrived yet, Chen Zhenye and Yuan Lei also saw the intention of the main camp: it would rather ask the enemy infantrymen to swarm in front of the camp to take it away, but do everything possible to block the pace of more than a thousand enemy cavalry going south.

However, it was less than six miles from Liulingou Village to the scheduled interception battlefield. With the speed of the enemy cavalry, the Qizishan defenders came out of the camp and had time to assemble and arrange their formation?

Chen Zhenye, Yuan Lei looked south and could only barely distinguish from the firelight that the Han army camp in Yunzhou was in full swing, and it might be a while before the final victory or defeat.

"You lead your troops to wait patiently here. I will lead a hundred cavalry to intercept the captive cavalry first!" Chen Zhenye gritted his teeth and said to Yuan Lei.

"The enemy cavalry's attention was not completely attracted by the frontal interception battlefield. I will attack its flank now, and it will only fall into a melee in advance and will not have the effect of a surprise attack!" Yuan Lei said in surprise.

Their initial plan was to send troops to attack the camp while the enemy cavalry was fully focused on siegeing the camp, or to be intercepted by infantry in the empty valley below, while they were unprepared to send troops to attack their flanks.

This is the best surprise attack effect.

Chen Zhenye decided to lead one hundred cavalry now, kill the generals first, and face the enemy soldiers who are ten times more powerful and have stronger combat effectiveness. You can imagine how dangerous it would be.

"The enemy cavalry is too fast to penetrate south, and the infantry comes out of the camp, let alone form a formation, and it is very easy to assemble the whole team. If so many people are not prepared for anything, they will fight directly, which is too easy to be defeated by the enemy soldiers - at this time, we must drag the enemy cavalry at the speed!" Chen Zhenye could not help Yuan Lei to say that he was the main general of the flank ambush, and immediately sent an order to lead his horse and follow him to go first.

Chen Zhenye did not think that he could intercept the enemy cavalry ten times his front with just over a hundred cavalrymen. He led his troops down the ridge without igniting torches. They walked through this path, walked to the edge of the forest, hid in the dark, and shot and killed the dozen enemy cavalry who had already explored on the front with a bow and crossbow.

Chen Zhene took the initiative to expose himself, and wanted to shock the snake and suppress the speed of the main force of the cavalry's south-spinning. In comparison, the Xinzhou defenders walked towards the Qizishan camp and pressed the speed much slower, and even within an hour, they didn't have to consider that they could reach the camp.

Chen Zhenye still underestimated the Chihu people, and underestimated the tactical qualities of even middle- and low-level military generals in the Chihu people.

Chen Zhenye led his troops down the small ridge. Although he was walking in the dark, he had a familiar road, and did not raise fire, the movement of walking through the forest and snow still caused the suspicion of dozens of enemy soldiers and scouts who were in front of exploring the way.

Although two or three people were shot by arrows, they were not very panicked, nor did they mean to retreat and distance. Instead, they identified the direction and threw the torch in their hands directly, then took the bow and drew the arrow, and "swooshed" the bow and shot the black shadows.

The enemy soldiers obviously expected that they might encounter ambushes halfway. Except for the more than a hundred enemy cavalry in the front who rushed to meet here, their main force was not disturbed much.

While the main force of the enemy soldiers quickly advanced forward, more than a hundred cavalry from each wing were deployed to the front, intending to fight in a melee while the infantry entering the intercepting battlefield was still firmly still.

Seeing this, Chen Zhene didn't care about the chest of the mount beside him, and shot an arrow on each neck, turned his back on his horse, and led his troops to attack the dozens of enemy cavalry scouts on the front.

More than a dozen scouts of the enemy soldiers were in front of him, and they were close to the edge of the intercepting battlefield. There were no torches, but they could barely distinguish the left and right terrain by the bonfire lighting in the distance.

They had no intention of using few enemies to more enemies, pulled the reins and drove the horse to the side. More than a hundred cavalrymen behind quickly rushed up and fought with Chen Zhenye's troops - they wanted to compete for time to clear the road for the subsequent main force, and at least they could not allow more than a hundred cavalry ambush to intercept them.

Chen Zixiao, Xu Wuli and others rode their horses into the interception battlefield first. They were three or four hundred steps apart, and they could not tell the appearance of Chen Zhenye or Yuanlei. However, from the scale of the cavalry that took the initiative to attack and intercept, they knew that Chen Zhenye or Yuanlei had half of the ambushed soldiers who were actively exposed. At this time, they saw that they could not be shocked, and they did not hesitate to use this little force to confuse the enemy cavalry, with the purpose of the infantry quickly entering the interception battlefield to form a formation to win more preciousness.

"Catch the spear in your hand, big shield, don't tremble. The enemy soldiers are not longer than you. One leg, one hand, when you see the knife slashing, raise the shield to block it. Don't give in, don't give in, don't give in, remember, close to the people around you, and the horse's hooves are not afraid! The spear holder stabs the horse first! Grab the spear in his hand and stabs the opponent's war horse. Such a big goal, don't say it's dark and can't see clearly, and you are not asking you to stab the horse|egg"

Xu Wuji and Chen Zixiao ran back and forth, shouting at the top of his voice, and ordered the soldiers to grab the swords, shields, guns and spears in their hands and rectify the queue.

They could not wait until all the men entered the intercepting battlefield to form a formation before taking action. Seeing that two teams of men were the first to complete the assembly, they ordered them to take action.

To the east of Qizishan Camp, the relatively open valley was only four or five miles wide, but the terrain was still not very rugged if it was a few miles east. They entered the open valley to form a formation. If they simply thought about passive interception, the enemy cavalry could still continue to circumnavigate to the low ridge area to the east.

They don’t know how the battle situation is in the Han army camp in Yunzhou. As long as the defenders have not completely given up their resistance and ask hundreds of enemy troops to rush to the near side, they don’t even need to enter the Han army camp in Yunzhou to meet, it will greatly boost the morale of the defenders and make the battle situation more complicated, chaotic and unpredictable.

Their only task is to intercept this cavalry and intercept it at all costs.

"Yang Qiye, you are here to guard the back formation!"

It is impossible for all infantry to enter a melee.

In the current situation, the troops gathered first must drive forward to fight, but at the same time it is also a stronger formation for the subsequent troops to join the camp to gain time.

The only guards of Qizishan who can truly form a formation to fight against the attacks of the enemy cavalry is actually Yang Qiye's department.

The others, whether it is the Tianxiong army captive soldiers or the Luliang Mountain Rebel Army who came down the mountain to join the past two days, are more suitable for melee battles.

After issuing military orders to Yang Qiye, Xu Wuli Chen Zixiao, surrounded by dozens of guards including Wang Hua, put a long spear under his armpit and rushed towards the enemy formation.

The lighting provided by the bonfire is limited. More than two thousand people fought in the dark, and outside the camp, the traditional command system could no longer play any role.

Yang Qiye was the leader of the back formation. All Xu Wuji, Chen Zixiao and others could do was to go on the battlefield personally and kill more enemy soldiers to reduce the pressure on the left and right soldiers.

Of course, if the left and right soldiers cannot resist and are slaughtered or dispersed and defeated, they will be swallowed up by hundreds of captive cavalry.

"The ambition is to eat the meat of the barbarians in hunger, and laugh at the thirsty and drink the blood of the Huns--!"

There was no chance to use rectification. The tight infantry array blocked the enemy soldiers before intercepting the battle formation. The main forces of both sides had already fought in a regiment, so they lost the significance of launching a surprise attack from the flanks.

Yuan Lei didn't wait for a better opportunity, so he shouted loudly, so he led his troops out of the woods, roared and shouted the established orders, and attacked the flanks of the enemy soldiers.

On the chaotic battlefield, the infantry seemed to be of great size, but the disadvantage was still too great. He led more than a hundred cavalry to the battlefield, and at least he could slightly regain some disadvantages.

There were as many as 6,000 defenders in the Han army camp in Yunzhou, and Xu Huai did not allow them to break through the Beiyuan Gate to attack the Qizishan camp and meet with the reinforcements of the enemy cavalry. The will to resist the trapped beasts was much stronger than they thought.

In addition to the hope of breaking through, Li Chulin and other surrendered Khitan generals also believed that the Southern Dynasty was about to perish, and the Chushan cavalry raided Taiyuan was just a dying struggle.

Even if Xu Huai gave them the opportunity to surrender at this time, they didn't think it was of any significance to surrender to Xu Huai. They were just to become a completely jumping clown, and they might end up in the hands of the Chihu people, even worse than death.

Under this emotion and cognition, they also tried their best to resist, and even led their troops to participate in the battle.

Even before Xu Huai led the elite Chushan troops to the army tent, Li Chulin did not retreat, but gathered a few elite troops around him to fight to the death, waiting for the resistance of both wings to regain the upper hand.

The tent of the Han Army Camp in Yunzhou was originally a manor built outside the city next to the official road, with a deep courtyard.

When the rushing car crashed the thick wooden door with a rough style, Xu Huai, Xiao Yanhan, Wang Ju and others led the elite troops to advance layer by layer, and started a battle for one house. Until the sky turned white, Xu Huai captured Li Chulin, who had only a dozen guards left by his side, in the yard in the northwest corner of the rear tent.

Xu Huai had no intention of saying anything to Li Chulin at this time, and instructed Wu Chihai, Niu Er and Shi Hu to suddenly enter with swords and shields, wiped out dozens of guards around Li Chulin, and then killed Li Chulin to death.

He asked someone to find a ladder at this time, and he couldn't help but climb up the eaves with some exhaustion.

The war in the Han army camp in Yunzhou is coming to an end, and only a few defenders are still fighting stubbornly.

The war on the northwest and northeast corners of Taiyuan City was not large in scale and not fierce, and now it has stopped. However, the surrendered general Yin Chao performed his usual level and did not bring them any "surprise". The direction of the Qizishan camp was trapped in a sea of ​​fire.

Although countless cavalry leaked from the direction of Qizi Mountain, the number of people was not large, and they were all intercepted by Pan Chenghu outside the gate of Beiyuan. It did not cause much interference to the war in the Han army camp in Yunzhou. It was just that it was not known whether the war in the valley on the eastern foot of Qizi Mountain was coming to an end, and how tragic casualties were paid.
