In the wind and snow, the vast land was full of smoke, and the troops of the Liang army who were fighting fiercely broke out with Qi troops in various parts of Henan.

At the same time, troops also attacked the Puyangjin area on the northwest of Xuzhou, the south bank of the Yellow River in the northwest direction.

Somehow, the Liang army spent more than ten days unable to conquer Puyangjin, and then divided its troops southward. The main force advanced west along the Ji River (Southern Ji River), and its troops headed directly to the upper reaches of the Ji River, Liangzhou, Qi State.

Liangzhou is northwest of Bozhou, Liang State, and is the offensive target of the Liang State Northern Expedition Army (Bozhou direction).

If the Liang army was allowed to attack Liangzhou along the Ji River, then the Qi army, which was resisting the Liang army (direction of Bozhou) in the Yangxia area in southern Liangzhou, would be cut off.

So, a group of Qi troops who crossed Henan to support Henan turned to Liangzhou, and then went east along the Ji River to face the Liang army.

The two armies randomly competed on both sides of the Jishui River.

The Liang army is located on the south bank of the Ji River and the Qi army is located on the north bank of the Ji River. Peng Jun, the commander of the Liang army, decided to seek a decisive battle with the other party, but saw that the Qi army planned to confront each other across the river and delayed the time.

If the Liang army wants to fight to the decisive battle, they must first cross the Ji River, but the Qi army commander Xu Xianxiu divided his troops to guard several ferries and prevented the Liang army from crossing the river calmly.

Although it has already begun to winter, the Ji River has a large amount of water. The only places where the large group of soldiers can cross the river calmly are those ferries with a long history.

The two sides fought repeatedly across the Jishui River. A few days later, the commander of the Liang army, Peng Jun, asked the young and strong men to change into military uniforms. As a suspicious soldier, he stayed in the camp and confused the Qi army on the other side.

Then, he led the main force to secretly move to a ferry upstream west at night, successfully crossing the Ji River, reaching the north bank, and cutting off the connection between Qi army and Liangzhou west.

When the Qi army found out that they were deceived, they immediately moved and sent a large number of light cavalry to attack and try to block the Liang army from building a base.

Peng Jun sent light cavalry to block the periphery, and then mobilized the entire army to build a defensive position at the crossing of the river. He quickly built a soil base, with trenches and a large number of deer antlers outside.

The light cavalry of Qi army that were swarming in was constantly attacking, but they were all blocked by Liang's crossbows in front of the trench.

Seeing this, the commander of the Qi army, Xu Xianxiu, led his army to retreat to Liangzhou, but was followed by cavalry soldiers sent by Peng Jun.

In addition, the Liang army was in the west and blocked the Qi army's way back to the west, Xu Xianxiu decided to fight the Liang army to a decisive battle.

The reason for this decision was that some of the Liang army's forces did not cross the river, and the Qi army had an advantage, so Xu Xianxiu felt that his side had a great chance of victory.

Moreover, only by annihilation of the Liang army in front of him can he calmly move south, reinforce friendly forces, resist the attack of the Liang army (Bozhou army), and resolve the attack of the Liang army.

So, the Liang and Qi armies fought on the north bank of the Ji River.

The Liang army formation was in the west, and Peng Jun deployed the central army (foreign army) infantry formation with the children of Jiangzhou as the core. The main general was Lei Yu, who was born in the Yuzhang Lei family.

Later, the "Zhong" of the central army was the military governor's office, mainly recruiting unemployed or landless farmers.

On the right wing, the infantry and cavalry corps led by Chang Hao, general of the Governor's Office, were formed by the soldiers of the Governor's Office as the backbone, supplemented by the recruited soldiers, and the cavalry were some of the Huaibei soldiers who participated in the battle, and were composed of the children of the noble clan and their troops.

The left wing was the infantry and cavalry corps led by Pei Tong, general of the Governor's Office. The infantry was mainly recruited military farm soldiers, and the cavalry was the cavalry of the Governor's Office.

On their periphery, there were also recruiting battalions and soldiers to cover (infantry formation).

The head coach Peng Jun is located at the end of the entire army, commanding the general reserve team and dispatching in the center.

The Qi army was also well-organized, divided into the central army (front army, rear army) and two wings, and cavalry protected the periphery.

Although it was morning, it was dark and the wind and snow were blowing, and the battle began soon.

The Qi army launched an attack on the Liang army on both sides, but did not attack directly, but attempted to lead the Liang army's light cavalry out, so it continued to harass the light cavalry with light cavalry.

On the right wing of the Liang army, the soldiers under the command of Chang Hao, who participated in the battle were full of fighting spirit. These powerful families could not stand the teasing and rode their horses to attack and disperse the haunted enemy cavalry.

During the confrontation, the two armies were unable to decide the outcome, but soon, the Liang army's cavalry discovered that there were more and more enemy cavalry, and they struggled to break through and walked back.

A large number of Qi cavalry followed and tried to take advantage of the situation to attack the right wing of the Liang army.

Seeing that he was about to catch fish in troubled waters, Chang Hao made arrangements and issued orders to allow the withdrawn cavalry to sweep along the edge of the infantry formation, and then disperse, and retreat into the formation through the gaps of each step formation.

Then the archers in the formation shot volleys and shot the followers' cavalry back.

In the central army, Lei Yu's infringement was under the fierce attack of the Qi army, and the opponent even dispatched armored cavalry to charge, constantly squeezing its own formation.

At the same time, a large number of Qi army infantry under the cover of light cavalry carried out large-scale detours on the left wing of the Liang army and attacked the side.

Seeing that the Qi army's offensive was fierce and that his left wing was about to be completely encircled, Peng Jun mobilized a reserve cavalry to reinforce the left wing.

Most of the reinforcements were heroes of the two Huai Rivers. They were all superb riding skills and were fearless. They fought against a large number of Qi troops and then started a melee.

Soon, they defeated the Qi army's detoured cavalry and defeated the opponent's offensive together with the left-wing infantry cavalry.

Seeing the defeated soldiers retreating, the heroes of the two Huai who were red-eyed were reluctant to stop, chased each other and headed towards the main formation behind them.

Seeing this, Pei Tong, the commander of the left wing of the Liang army, thought something was wrong and sent someone to chase him, but how could he persuade him?

The sound of drums and horns also sounded from the rear, ordering the heroes of the two Huai Rivers to stop chasing, but it was useless.

Soon, the Liang cavalry who were chasing the defeated soldiers fell into a siege attack: the fleeing Qi infantry and the reinforced cavalry would double-team the pursued Liang cavalry.

These heroes of the two Huaihe immediately turned around and retreated to their left wing. The Qi army immediately covered up and attacked, and the troops they attacked were even stronger than before.

After chasing and fleeing, the situation reversed, and the Qi army once again formed a large-scale side attack on the left wing of the Liang army.

At the same time, many Qi cavalry followers defeated the Liang cavalry and headed behind the Liang army formation. They had only one target, that is, the location of the Liang army's commander flag.

The rushing Qi cavalry had thousands of cavalry, and they moved like lightning, breaking through the Liang army's rangers one after another, chasing the defeated cavalry and heading straight for the target.

As long as they kill the commander of the Liang army, they will definitely win this battle.

Under the handsome man, Peng Jun saw a group of idiots "leading" the enemy cavalry to his side, and felt unbelievable and almost wanted to throw the Qianli Mile Mile in his hand to the ground.

Are you all in your heads a mud? A stupid pig who can only charge! He will not even go anywhere if he retreats!

There was an insurgent formation as a barrier on the outer periphery of the rear army, but the fierce enemy cavalry flexibly used the gap between the insurgent formations to break through the outer barrier and launched a charge against the Liang army's central commander flag position.

At a critical moment, Peng Jun decided to fight, but he could not escape, otherwise the soldiers on the front line would inevitably have a great morale, and then the military formation would collapse.

As the drum sounded, Peng Jun, who was already wearing a full body, rode his horse and spear, and carried his elite troops and guard cavalry to face the whistling enemy cavalry.

The well-trained Liang army guarded the cavalry quickly formed several geese-shaped formations in front and back. Peng Jun took the lead and became the "leading geese" in the front row.

The defeated heroes of the two Huai Rivers knew the right way. When they saw their cavalry rushing towards each other, they quickly gave way to both sides.

Then, Peng Jun and his subordinates crashed into the enemy cavalry.

The dust was flying, and the storm was blowing. Peng Jun, who was dancing with two-edged spear, was unstoppable in a crowd of people and horses. He stabbed several cavalry to death one after another, directly dispersing the irritating Qi cavalry.

The Qi cavalry who was heading for the Liang army's commander's flag was only to say that the current fierce man was a powerful general who protected the Liang army's commander. If he wanted to get rid of it and go to the commander's flag, he could not form a formation.

Dozens of cavalry came to help, driving away the enemy cavalry who had no fighting spirit.

The central army turned danger into safety.

Peng Jun held his horse, looked up at the distance, and observed the situation of the battle, but found that his left wing had completely fallen into the siege of the Qi army's right wing and was suppressed.

Fortunately, the left wing temporarily laid barbed wire, and the soldiers fought hard to resist the fierce attack of the enemy infantry and cavalry. Now they can still support and keep the formation unchaotic.

But the casualties will not be small, and it will be bad if this continues.

Peng Jun looked at the Central Army, and the Central Army was also in a tough battle.

On the right wing, the Qi army's infantry and cavalry also launched a strong attack, and a large number of light cavalry shot around the infantry formation, and arrows fell into the Liang army's infantry formation like rain.

However, the soldiers of our side continued to counterattack, with heavy armored spearmen outside, trying to maintain the integrity of the formation. The archers braved the rain of arrows and kept firing arrows to prevent the enemy cavalry from approaching calmly.

The range of the archer bow is farther than that of the archer bow. The enemy who can archer does not need to aim accurately. They just need to shoot arrows at the crowd. If you shoot at the target, casualties will be inevitable.

If the war is not good, it may be fine. If it hits the back, left, center, and right, it will collapse at the same time.

Peng Jun silently watched the battle situation on the front line, trying to calm himself down and think about countermeasures.

He also has a reserve team that can be used as reinforcements, but the reserve team cannot be used up too early, otherwise it will be unable to deal with the Qi army's backup.

He roughly understood the situation of Xu Xianxiu, the chief general of the Qi army: this person is a veteran, and it is said that he was under the command of Erzhu Rong, a powerful minister of Wei State.

This man who has fought for decades, even if he is not a first-class general in Qi State, he has become a virtuous tiger.

Peng Jun judged that as soon as the war started, the opponent's offensive would be very fierce, and it was unlikely that it would be a simple attack.

Perhaps, the opponent's purpose was to force him to use all the reserve team at hand as soon as possible, so that when he arrived at the back, he was unable to deal with the sudden force of the Qi army and could not block the loopholes on the front line.

But if you are reluctant to increase your troops, what if the front line can't stand it?

The sound of killing shook the sky. Peng Jun listened to the movement and recalled his review of various troops before the war. He believed that at present, the front-line troops had not reached their limit.

So, there is no need to push all the reserve teams up so quickly.

After taking out his pocket watch and looking at the time, Peng Jun believed that the soldiers on the front line still had a lot of physical strength, so he really had to calm down.

As time passed, the situation gradually changed on the battlefield where the sound of killing sounds shook: the Qi army, which was struggling to attack, had been unable to truly shake the Liang army's formations, so the offensive began to weaken.

Then, Liang's counterattack came.

On the right wing of the Liang army, Chang Hao judged that the weakening of the enemy's offensive was not a fraud, and hesitated to send the cavalry that had been resting for a while and launched a charge.

Because we did not set up barbed wire in the formation, but instead relied on spearmen to form a formation to resist, the cavalry attacked very smoothly and moved quickly, directly repelling the exhausted enemy infantry and cavalry.

A more bloody battle was staged in the middle. The soldiers of Jiangzhou who fought bloodily successfully resisted the repeated charges of the enemy infantry and cavalry in front of them, despite the large number of casualties.

Then, Lei Yu sent a long-standing cavalry to launch a counterattack.

However, the Liang cavalry that counterattacked was blocked by the deer antler defense wall temporarily set up by the Qi army. The Qi army infantry then attacked from both wings, squeezing the Liang cavalry's movement space, making it unable to move calmly.

The Liang army cavalry dismounted and launched a school battle. When it was difficult to decide the outcome, the reinforced cavalry arrived and repelled the Qi army.

But the deer antler defense wall that ran across the front became the biggest obstacle for them to advance. Lei Yu dispatched his troops to attack this "wall", but was blocked by the reinforcements of Qi soldiers.

The opponent invested in the reserve team, and there were a lot of them. Under the bloody battle, the Liang army retreated, and the front line was piled back to the position where the Liang army was besieged before the counterattack.
