The observation posts one or two miles away from the two divisions were waiting for this moment. When the Tiannan Army of the two divisions entered a resting state, a wisp of blue smoke quietly rose at the top of the mountain without anyone noticing. The 80,000 cavalry, who had been maintaining a hurry to march, suddenly divided into two groups, one was a Tubu 10,000 team, led by the guide, quickly heading eastward and heading straight to the entrance of Longmen Mountain to the east; while the main force of the 70,000 cavalry shook off the Second Mobile Division, which could no longer keep up with the speed, and suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the resting place of the Tiannan Army ten miles away.

The two officers of the Tiannan Army inferred that it was actually true. As of the time they were talking, Bashan Prefecture City had not been attacked yet. The 50,000 northwest cavalry had just approached Bashan Prefecture City. The other 80,000 cavalry rushed towards the southwest with a thunderous aura. Following the Second Division, which was fully mobile with a transport vehicle. This is Liang Chongxin's time difference tactic.

As early as when he learned that the two divisions of Lujiang were on their way to Bashan, Liang Chongxin had already made up his mind that if he attacked Bashan first, the transportation convoy was afraid that he would not be able to keep up with the speed and the infantry could not be synchronized with the cavalry. Once Bashan was attacked, he would definitely send a police stunt to inform the two divisions of the Tiannan Army that were advancing to Bashan. Once the two divisions reacted quickly enough, they could either take the risk on the spot or turn around and escape back to Cuiping Pass. In this way, the intention to quickly take down Lujiang would be shattered, and Liang Chongxin did not want to see such a result.

Therefore, Liang Chongxin used the Gu family's strong connections and intelligence network in Bashan to closely monitor the speed of the two divisions of the Tiannan Army entering Longmen Mountain. He knew that according to the speed of the two divisions of the Tiannan Army, he would definitely walk out of Longmen Mountain on the same day. Liang Chongxin issued an order to attack Bashan a few hours before the Tiannan Army came out of the mountain. All two thousand transport vehicles were given to the Second Division going east to strengthen the maneuverability of the Second Division to achieve the role of rapid assault. The First Division and the Second Guard Division followed the 50,000 Mot Iron Cavalry and moved south quickly. Although their speed could not keep up with the four-legged Mot Cavalry, as long as the Mot Cavalry first controlled the escape passages around Bashan City, the two divisions that followed would complete the mission of siege.

Although the Tiannan Army of the two divisions remained vigilant, they never expected to encounter an unprecedented surprise attack in their hearts.

The first thing I noticed was the alert force of the First Division of the First Division of the Tiannan Army, which was responsible for the alertness. As a veteran unit of war formation, the long-standing discipline and sense of responsibility they have formed have made them still remain very vigilant even when they are most relaxed. Even though they knew that it was impossible to encounter an attack here, the cautious division commander still sent out the roaming and the warning post as usual.

But the cavalry in the northwest came too fast. When the faint sound of iron hooves like thunder sounded in the open area along the river plain in front, Yubings did not react for a moment. He could not believe that there were so many herds of bison here. In his imagination, only the herds of bison here would cause such loud noises. After all, the Tiannan Army, which lacked horses, had never seen so many cavalry assaults. Even in the entire Tiannan Army, there were only the direct division of the Jiedushi, equipped with two established cavalry regiments.

Until the iron hooves roared bigger and bigger, and even the earth began to tremble, and had already turned into a thick, black line on the horizon, which was as thick as a long line as the tide, Yunyings realized that something was wrong. When the shrill police whistle sounded, the northwest cavalry had approached less than three miles.

The shrill police whistle suddenly woke up the Tiannan Army, who was half asleep and half awake. Everyone, including the two division commanders, did not recall for a moment. It was a problem there, but the good military discipline allowed both division commanders to issue warning orders as soon as possible. However, due to the lack of clear target targets and the relaxation after excessive fatigue, neither division could enter the state at the speed of daily training.

The sound of footsteps of the whole team gathered and the sound of horse hooves were almost intertwined. The dense assault cavalry were divided into countless attack arrows, inserted into the defensive formation that had not yet been fully formed, causing waves. The first to run was the Mot's 1,200-man cavalry team, which was also Cui Wenxiu's most successful training of 20,000 light-haired cavalry. Not only did it fully retain the characteristics of the Mot's wild and fierce and skillful bow and horse archery, but it also put a lot of effort into formation discipline, changing the past poor nature of the loose discipline of nomadic cavalry.

The whole horse-killing sabre was also the same as Cui Wenxiu's seeing that the weapons of nomadic cavalry were mixed in melee combat, and when they charged together (mainly for light armored infantry), they were not easy to produce a devastating impact force, so they specially improved it and replaced it with a 100-refined horse-killing sabre produced by Yinchuan Iron Factory. The horse-killing sabre is also a relatively common weapon among nomadic peoples. However, because the quality of ordinary horse-killing sabre is unstable, it is easy to roll and break in battle, and it is expensive, so it is impossible to promote and use in large quantities under the circumstances at that time. However, when the Northwest Army took over the Mot army, Cui Wenxiu spared no effort to transform the Mott cavalry, retaining its advantages while conducting regular training from all aspects. The optimization of this weapon is reasonable. Anyway, the problem of the spent funds was not worried about, which greatly improved the melee fighting ability of the Mott cavalry.

When he was running to 300 meters away from the Tiannan Army, the Mot cavalry with skillful horse skills pulled the bow and took the arrow. After shooting three arrows in a row, he skillfully retracted the bow and returned to the sheath, and replaced it with the sabre that nomadic warriors are best at. This is the innate advantage of bows and horses in the nomadic peoples, and can draw three bows in a short 300 meters. This is a unique skill that the best light cavalry among the farming nation can achieve, but this is a very ordinary skill among the nomadic riders.

The continuous attacks made the formation of the Tiannan Army, which had not yet been able to fully enter the state, even more chaotic. The howling rain of the arrow caused the Tiannan Army, which had not yet officially joined the battle, suffered heavy losses, and also destroyed the attempt of some Tiannan Army, who had first discovered the enemy situation, to form a defensive front and stop the enemy's offensive. When countless attacking arrows plunged into the defensive team, the bloody battle began to officially begin.

The fierceness of the nomadic cavalry was fully demonstrated in this battle. The huge impact force made these nomadic cavalry even have the power of heavy cavalry when facing the light-armored infantry with disheveled formation. Every wave of slashing sabers can always see bloody rain and falls of broken limbs. The sound of shouting and killing and the sound of weapons hitting each other. Waves of shock waves came with almost no intervals. Face-to-face competition, the interweaving of swords and shields, flesh, limbs, and heads have become the most valuable things here, and life seems so fragile here. When the South Army tried its best to organize the defense line and struggled to resist, the sneak attack from behind once again made them suffer huge pain.

The two elite Tiannan Divisions also fully demonstrated the combat effectiveness of the ace troops in the Tiannan Army at this time. Although the enemy's cavalry's surprise attack made them unable to organize an effective defense line for a while, the front still tenaciously resisted the Mot Cavalry who was divided into pieces with flesh and blood. However, the enemy's momentum was indeed too fast. The Mot Cavalry, who were divided into countless assault teams, took advantage of the incomplete formation of the Tiannan Army and quickly cut the Tiannan Army into several large pieces like a huge cake.

Especially the Second Division of the Tiannan Legion, influenced by the attitude of the division commander, the officers and soldiers generally believed that this line would not be attacked by the enemy, and they were in a state of unscrupulous slackness when resting. When the enemy attack came, they did not even know where the attack came from. They hurriedly began to form a formation and seemed chaotic and disorderly, and even had no time to defend against the first wave of Mot Cavalry charges, which led to the Mot Cavalry's easy rushing into the wing of the Second Division. A general was incompetent to exhaust his death. The former army became the best manifestation of the encounter of the Second Division. Even if the soldiers of the Second Division fought bravely, but did not form an organic whole, how can individual defense withstand the attack of the teams of cavalry? This heroic behavior seemed very helpless and heroic, but it did not make much sense.

When the Mot cavalry had already divided and surrounded the two Tiannan military divisions, the Tiannan Army, which had recovered, realized how difficult it was to organize a defense line. No matter how the two legions lacking heavy infantry organized effective defense, they would always be bravely broken through by the nomadic cavalry who rushed to the death. The impact force brought by the assault arrows and slashed horses with the help of the strong horses was like countless huge sickles cutting the already exhausted Tiannan Army into countless pieces. The nomadic cavalry around these independent Tiannan Army used the method of swimming and impact to break through and strangle from various angles.
