Ning Yuan still has a strong ability to read the battlefield. Seeing that the situation was passive, he began to retreat. Unfortunately, tens of thousands of people on the left were entangled by the coalition forces. Ning Yuan had to order the left army to resist on the spot, all of which were considered to be the rear. The remaining Zhang Chu army retreated without any turmoil, and with heavy cavalry, the entire army slowly moved west.

"The hero cut off his arm! What a Ningyuan!" Bai Yunqi looked at Zhang Chu's left army who was still fighting hard, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Your Majesty, chase after you!" Seeing Zhang Chu's army retreating, Hu Junbai, the general of the Later Wei Dynasty, certainly did not want to miss the opportunity to beat the dog in the water. He thought that the Later Wei Dynasty had been bullied by Zhang Chu for decades, and the opportunity to take revenge was here today. The morale of the three armies was in full swing, so how could they be willing to not pursue it?

"It's a pity that you met me, Bai Yunqi. Want to leave? It's not that easy!" Bai Yunqi said to himself, without answering Hu Junbai. Bai Yunqi jumped onto the war horse and said to Zhang Chujun who was retreating in front: "Fighting should be resolved as soon as possible on the right side, and the chain horses in the middle are the vanguards. The entire army pursued, chased without fighting."

A strange phenomenon occurred on the battlefield. Tens of thousands of infantry soldiers were still fighting, but the main force had already begun to retreat and had no intention of saving each other. Bai Yunqi personally led a hundred thousand troops to chase Zhang Chu's army, but chased him without fighting, and maintained the best impact distance, as if waiting for something.

Gourd mouth! As the name suggests, it can be seen that the terrain of this place is the two-mile long gourd mouth that Zhang Chu’s army must go back to the camp, but the fierce battle has been going on for a day, and the sun is slanted. As long as the gourd mouth is safely passed, the coalition forces will have no possibility of chasing.

Ning Yuan was certainly prepared before coming to such a dangerous way. One thousand officers and soldiers were responsible for the alert and guards on both sides. Everything seemed normal, and the thousand Zhang Chu soldiers responsible for the alert and guard were still there. Ning Yuan immediately ordered that the remaining 60,000 cavalrymen lined up to resist the pursuers, and Zhang Chu's army began to pass through the gourd mouth.

The heavy cavalry is the heavy cavalry. After the formation was set up, Bai Yunqi did not take the initiative to launch an attack. It seemed that he planned to send Zhang Chu's army out of the border. Anyway, the purpose of this battle had been achieved.

Ning Yuan, who was standing by the side, was in a very complicated mood. He was defeated by the strong against the weak. Although there were reasons why the coalition forces used new weapons on the battlefield, he found that the coalition forces had not been able to make timely adjustments when they set up a strange formation. If the central breakthrough was implemented with heavy cavalry, the outcome of the battle would be difficult to say. After all, it was his lack of adaptability in the face of the battle. He followed the statement in the military book too dogmatically. The main reason was that he underestimated the enemy. He looked down on the defeat not long ago and the Later Wei army in his hands. He thought that 100,000 cavalry could easily break through the opponent. As a result, he lost 40,000 cavalry, and another 80,000 people were involved in the left side of the middle road. It was a ferocious defeat.

After half of the army, Ning Yuan's mind was still wandering in the battle just now. He suddenly heard a cannon high from both sides of the gourd mouth. Ning Yuan suddenly woke up and felt a little embarrassed.

Zhang Chujun, who was passing through the gourd mouth, suddenly discovered that countless huge stone logs were rolling down from the high ground on both sides, and there were ambushes here. What did a thousand defenders do for food? Ning Yuan immediately wanted to find the generals guarding the place, but looked up but found that the soldiers who were originally responsible for the guards on both sides had already run away without any trace. Then he realized that something was wrong.

Fortunately, there were not many enemy troops ambushing on both sides. After a wave of stone logs fell down, they only blocked the road, and the damage caused was not very large. Ning Yuan hurriedly ordered two 10,000 people to launch a counterattack on the high grounds on both sides and ordered other troops to clear the roads quickly. The counterattacking troops took half an hour to occupy it smoothly; the high grounds on both sides were found, but they found that no enemy was found, so they ran away cleanly.

Ning Yuan was still secretly glad that if Bai Yunqi had not had enough troops, his life would have been here today. Fortunately, he saw thick smoke rolling in the west, and someone came to report that his camp was being taken down, which made people burn the fire. The camp was being taken down, which means that the army had no place to settle tonight and had to retreat overnight, which means that the coalition forces had more opportunities to attack Zhang Chu's army.

Zhang Chujun, who was already depressed, suddenly saw that his nest was being raided, and his morale reached the lowest point. Everyone wanted to get out of this ghost place as soon as possible. At this moment, Bai Yunqi, who had not been moving, took action. Using a series of horses as a barrier, three hundred thunderbolt chariots shot at the Zhang Chu cavalry responsible for the breaking of the rear. The unfast thunderbolt chariots followed in time and the final blow to Zhang Chu army began.

The Zhang Chu army, whose morale was in chaos, suddenly encountered a fierce blow, and the heavy cavalry responsible for the cut-off suddenly became a mess. Bai Yunqi, a chain of horses that appeared in surprise, began the final impact after recovery. More than 100,000 Zhang Chu army formed a scramble in the mouth of Hulu, and everyone rushed out. How could the damaged road pass smoothly? For a time, trampled on each other and killed countless people.

Knowing that the general situation was going, Ning Yuan was not panicked when he tried to pull him away. In this battle, he still had the face to go back. Instruct the deputy general to try to restore the order in Hulu's mouth and brought a thousand personal soldiers to the cavalry unit of the broken rear. Due to Ning Yuan's timely arrival, the cavalry unit of the broken rear was not completely in chaos. Zhang Chu's cavalry is worthy of the powerful brigade in the world. In this crisis, it can withstand the impact of the coalition forces. Ning Yuan's commanding flag always fluttered behind the cavalry unit. Ning Yuan did not retreat, and no cavalry retreated. None of the cavalry could retreat without any of the Baiyunqi's chain horses attacking.

If the crossbow is not shot through, the serial horses will approach. If the spear cannot stab the soldiers, they will jump to the serial horses. At this time, the thunder chariot dares to fire again. The two armies are fighting in chaos. Bai Yunqi's expected Zhang Chu army retreated in full swing and did not appear.

"I still underestimate him. The wise man Qianwei finally made a mistake and ordered the entire army to stop the attack and only shoot with the thunder chariot." Bai Yunqi's face also had a little helplessness.

Zhang Chujun finally retreated. Ning Yuan sighed to the sky, "Everyone abandons his horse and go for his life." After saying this, Ning Yuan suddenly pulled out his sword and wanted to commit suicide. Fortunately, his subordinates were prepared and hugged him.

"Zhang Chujun has never been the commander-in-chief who died in battle. The commander-in-chief left first, and I will take your brothers to cut off the rear for you." General Niu, the chief cavalry general, shouted loudly.

Ning Yuan finally withdrew, and none of the 60,000 heavy cavalry surrendered and all died in battle. The battle finally ended at dusk. In this case, Zhang Chu's coalition lost as much as 160,000, and the 100,000 heavy cavalry were wiped out.

With the sound of horse hooves, the white clouds rose to the last battlefield where Zhang Chu's cavalry resisted. The smoke of gunpowder had not dissipated. A war horse refused to leave beside the owner and kept licking the owner's face with his tongue. It's a pity that his owner would never wake up again.

Baiyun got up and went to the horse, but saw a general Zhang Chu lying in a pool of blood, with a shrapnel of a thunderbolt bullet in his chest. Judging from his outfit, this person should be the chief general of Zhang Chu's cavalry.

"These people are warriors, and they are buried with great burial."

After learning that Zhang Chu's army was rude in the decisive battle, Mr. Ning Da from the outside of Qizhou also hurriedly withdrew his troops. The defenders of Qizhou wanted to take advantage of the situation to chase him, but were ambushed and repelled by Mr. Ning Da, which lost more than 20,000 people. Zhang Chu's army retreated to Dingzhou.

At this point, the coalition forces achieved a decisive victory in the battle with Zhang Chu's army. While destroying 200,000 opponents, their own casualties were as high as 80,000. Of course, there was also a mistake in the pursuit of the Qizhou army.

After learning that Qizhou was defeated by Qizhou, the coalition forces of the Xiongnu and Zhang Chu had to give up the siege.

In September of the second year of China, Bai Yunqi went to Liang, and also established the status of the overlord of the Central Plains of the Chinese army in a battle. At the celebration banquet, Bai Yunfan asked the king, "Why did the Zhang Chu army not chase after the first retreat?"

Bai Yunqi replied: "At that time, the main force of Zhang Chu's army was still there, so of course he could win a great victory, but the price he paid was much greater. Before the war, Wu Ming led two thousand troops to attack the Hulukou defenders, and then rushed to Zhang Chu's camp. Hulukou ruined his way back and burned his camp to disrupt his morale. But that's it. Zhang Chu's 60,000 heavy cavalry still completed the task of cutting off the rear. It cannot be said that it was not a pity."

In October, the Northern Qin envoys visited and, together with the Later Wei envoys, the three kingdoms signed an alliance. In the same month, Zhang Chu and the Huns signed an offensive and defensive alliance.

Both sides consumed too much in this battle and had no spare energy to fight again. A temporary peace has come.

The year passed quickly, and all parties were using this short time to rest and accumulate strength. The policy of Baiyunqi was rewarded in the summer of the third year of China. The second year of China was in good weather. In the autumn of the second year, tax revenue was restored, and various states collected countless grains. The new tax policy also greatly encouraged the development of industry and commerce. Duliangcheng became the commercial center of the Central Plains. Not only did the liquor and glass products produced were spread throughout the Central Plains, but even the distant desert had merchants to purchase them.

With the guarantee of economic strength, the Chinese army began a new round of adaptation, and eventually became a unit with 50,000 cavalry, 100,000 infantry, 50,000 strong crossbows, and a unit composed of 20,000 thunderbolt chariots. The number of troops after the reorganization was smaller, but this did not mean that combat effectiveness was reduced. Bai Yunqi has always advocated the policy of elite troops, so the number of troops was fewer, and combat effectiveness was improved.

While changing the army, Bai Yunqi introduced a new policy, which is the policy of the reserve force. All men over the country, except those in the court, under the age of 18 and under the age of 50 must be compiled into the booklet, and local governments organize military training every month. In Bai Yunqi's words, this is called hiding troops from the people. With the introduction of this policy, once a war breaks out, Bai Yunqi can immediately mobilize 800,000 troops who regularly train military training from the people.
