This place is called Deserted Pole.

The terrain of the Deadhead Slope is high in the east and low in the west. Once it occupies the east, it is very beneficial for the cavalry to sprint. Back then, Li Qiuyi was here, using three thousand cavalry to destroy the 30,000 infantry of the Ghost Tu clan and slash the head of the Ghost Tu leader with one knife, which was called the Deadhead Slope.

Seeing that the Northern Zhou cavalry had already formed a formation, Liang Yuanzhi said sternly, "Dressing the shield formation."

Hundreds of shield hands lined up to build a shield wall. This shield is mainly composed of jingzi and is inlaid with iron sheets to reduce weight. There are buckles at the bottom. Once opened, they can be inserted into the ground to form a slope, thereby enhancing the stability of the shield wall.

Behind each shield player, two spearmen poked the spear out of the gap. If it were in the past, the crossbowman of the Fire Character Camp and the archers were also standard. Now the Fire Character Camp is left behind in Shuangfeng Mountain, and the situation is very bad.

Countless caltrops were scattered more than ten feet in front of the shield's hand.

The Northern Zhou war horses had iron palms at the soles of their feet. This kind of caltrop is not very useful, but the situation is now critical and we don’t care about so many things.

Be sure to block the first attack!

The more critical the moment, the more Liang Yuanzhi wanted to remain calm himself. He had already ordered the rear to form a group of six people, quickly form a plum blossom formation, move forward, and pay attention to the enemy's flank charge at any time.

The sound of the horn.

The first group of hundreds of cavalry began to sprint.

On the broken-head slope, a big earthquake trembled.

Liang Yuanzhi drew his long sword and said, "Term the Western Army and fight to the death!"

Everyone said in unison, "Fight to the death!"

The broken-head slope is full of a murderous atmosphere.

A look of determination appeared in everyone's eyes.

For the Ming Dynasty, for the family, and for the sake of survival.

Fight to the death!

...

Yinyang City.

With the assistance of Li Xianzhong and others, Zhao Langjiang quickly controlled the situation in Yinyang. Li Xiancheng was unpopular in Yinyang City, and the fact that he was elected as emperor had long become a farce. Except for Li Renjie missing, more than a dozen people in the mansion were killed.

Zhao Langjiang received news from the scout that Liang Yuanzhi was trapped in the Western Army on Duantoupo. The situation was critical. He made a quick decision and ordered Li Xianzhong to summon 3,000 white horses and Yicong, plus 300 troops from the Western Army to lead the army to support him.

Only two thousand white horses were left in Yinyang City, and Li Xianzhong was in charge of Yinyang. As for Li Xiancheng's more than 10,000 private soldiers, Zhao Langjiang could not use them, and he dared not use them. He asked Li Xianzhong to send someone to take over and stand by outside Yinyang City.

When he left the city, Li Bufan rushed out of the crowd and said to Zhao Langjiang, "City Gate Li Bufan asked for a fight!"

Zhao Langjiang had seen him and knew that he had some friendship with Xiao Jinyan, so he said, "Your duty is to guard the city gate, not to go to the front line to kill the enemy!"

Li Bufan said, "How can he be considered a man of Yinyang if he doesn't go into battle and kill the enemy!"

Seeing that he was determined, Zhao Langjiang said, "Can you ride a horse?"

"Aren't you insulting people?" Li Bufan said.

"Stop talking, get on the horse!"

The city gate opened and three thousand cavalrymen left the city.

Li Xianzhong said, "General Zhao... the city lord, bring them back alive!"

Zhao Langjiang was shocked when he heard this and felt the pressure on his body suddenly increase. When he was just a guerrilla general, Old Liu, who had stepped down, had said similar things to him, but in the battle of Hengduan Mountain, almost all the troops were wiped out.

This was also one of the last things he regretted in his life.

Because of this, when the Western Army released the prince Xiang back, he was furious and beat his boss and left.

Zhao Langjiang looked at Li Xianzhong and said, "I will bring them back."

...

Mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Although Liang Yuanzhi made the most correct response, the Northern Zhou Dynasty occupied the advantage of the terrain. After the three groups of people reunite, the Western Army of the Ming Dynasty fought heavily, and the entire formation was also scattered by the cavalry. Dozens of people and teams fought on their own and could no longer obey Liang Yuanzhi's unified command.

Tuoba Niu Ren rode a big horse and stood on the hillside, holding a chicken leg in his hand, shouting while eating, "Surrender, don't kill!" The other soldiers of Northern Zhou also shouted, "Surrender, don't kill!"

Some soldiers with slightly weak willpower lost their weapons and gave up their resistance, but what greeted them was the butcher knife of the Northern Zhou cavalry.

This kind of words distort the morale the most.

Tuoba Niu people fought countless times and knew the key points. Once they gained the upper hand, they destroyed their opponent's mind with words. They were tried and tested. Even Liang Yuanzhi killed several people in a row, but he did not stop the soldiers from surrendering.

After an hour, nearly 30,000 people were killed or injured by the Western Army. The rest gradually moved closer to the flag, surrounding Liang Yuanzhi in the middle, and under unified command, the decline stopped slightly.

But the defeat was decided.

The Northern Zhou army suddenly stopped attacking.

Tuoba Niu Ren rode his horse downhill, came fifty steps away from the front of the Western Expedition Army, and shouted, "The leader is General Liang Yuanzhi, General Liang? Take a step to speak!"

Liang Yuanzhi drove his horse to the front of the formation, "Mr. Liang is here!"

Tuoba Niu Ren sent the chicken legs that had been chewed in his hand forward, his body trembling with fat, and asked, "Ele.me?"

Liang Yuanzhi met Tuoba Niu Ren for the first time. He thought that this Northern Zhou war god should be tall and shaped like a god. But when he saw him today, he would have to be at least 300 pounds of meat balls. Even if he was about to get off the war horse, he would have struggled while moving.

He said, "If you have a fart, please let it go."

puff!

The Tuoba Niu Ren showed a look of satisfaction and shook his shoulders, "It's over! Comfortable!" He drove his horse forward a few more steps and advised, "Your defeat is determined, so why not surrender. I will take you back to Northern Zhou. Our Majesty is also a person who cherishes talents and loves talents. At that time, high officials and generous salaries, beauties will accompany you, and wealth will be inexhaustible. The key is that there are chicken legs, enough!"

Liang Yuanzhi cursed, "Be your mother's dream of spring and autumn. As the general of the Ming Dynasty, how could Liang commit acts of surrendering to the enemy and treason? You are too underestimating Liang!"

Tuoba Niu people shouted, "Listen to the Western Army, whoever takes Liang Yuanzhi's head, will be awarded the title of First-Class Marquis, with ten thousand taels of silver and thousands of hectares of good land!"

Everyone was uproared and scolded.

"Ph, shameless!"

"I am shameless and have returned thousands of hectares of fertile land, a small place, a place where birds do not shit, and the food they planted is smelly, who cares!"

Tuoba Niu Ren expressed regret for this, "I'm just giving you a chance. Since you refuse, I'll give you another chance. General Liang, do you dare to fight me one-on-one? As long as you have walked ten moves under my hands, I will let you and the soldiers behind you live a life!"

Liang Yuanzhi hesitated a little.

In today's battle, most of the 50,000 Western troops were injured. Once all annihilated, the Northern Zhou Dynasty would mobilize troops and jointly attack Hulukou with the Western Chu troops. After this battle, the Western Front of the Ming Dynasty would be completely lost and the fate of the Ming Dynasty would change.

There is still a chance to fight.

If you don’t fight, you will die.

"So you're serious?"

Tuoba Niu Ren gave the chicken legs to the ginseng general Mazda, rubbed oil on the battle robe, raised his hand and said, "I swear in the name of the holy tree!"

The people of Northern Zhou believed that all things had spirits. In their capital, there was a mulberry tree with lush branches and leaves, protecting the Northern Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years. The Tuoba Niu people could swear by this tree, and Liang Yuanzhi decided to fight.

The subordinate advised: "Master General, the people of Northern Zhou are cunning, so you must not trust them!"

Liang Yuanzhi shook his head, "We have no way out."

He rode his horse forward a few steps and came to ten feet in front of Tuoba Niu Ren. Tuoba Niu Ren waved his hand and a huge net came over the sky, trapping Liang Yuanzhi in it. Several Northern Zhou soldiers stepped forward and tied Liang Yuanzhi up.

All this was so sudden that Liang Yuanzhi was caught off guard.

"Shameless!"

Tuoba Niu Ren smiled, "I'm a shameless name for myself, not for a day or two. I'm really not used to it without any tricks!"

General Mazda Lian praised him, "The Marshal is wise!"

Tuoba Niu said, "Get chicken legs when you go back."

He sternly said, "The head coach was captured, and you can quickly put down your weapons and survive!"

Liang Yuanzhi, a member of the Western Expedition Army, was captured and suddenly lost his fighting spirit and abandoned his weapons and surrendered.

Another general, Daimler, said, "Congratulations to the Marshal, without spending one soldier, he captured 20,000 Ming thieves. With these prisoners, our Northern Zhou Dynasty has added another combat power!"

Tuoba Niu said, "You know, 20,000 people are just 20,000 mouths to eat. I have limited chicken legs, so where can I find food for them? Let them line up to Chishui River and kill them all!"

Mazda said, "Marson, I have an inexperienced suggestion."

Tuoba Niu said, "Then stop talking."

Mazda said, "Now that 50,000 Ming thieves have been abandoned, Yinyang City is just a small city. It is better to take advantage of the situation to take it down. On the one hand, to plunder the resources in the city, and on the other hand, to use this as a stronghold, you can wipe out all the Ming army. These 20,000 Ming troops can be used to take the lead and let them kill each other. Isn't that great?"

When Tuoba Niu Ren heard this, he laughed, "This is not immature, it's all sophisticated. General Ma Shen, you are really getting more and more shameless as a marshal."

Mazda said, "The Marshal is awarded!"

A look of unwillingness appeared in Daimler's eyes.

"I heard that Li Xiancheng was killed. Now a boy named Zhao Langjiang guards the city. As the saying goes, he has no hair on his lips and is not in a solid manner. His subordinates are willing to take the lead!" Daimler volunteered.

At this time, the spy came to report that a team of cavalry rushed over from the east.

The sound of horse hooves.

Zhao Langjiang has led his men to occupy the Duantou Po.

The Northern Zhou army charged several times, and the Ming army surrendered, and his vigilance was slightly reduced. He had given up his terrain advantage. The Tuoba Niu people were not vague and said, "Get on the horse and take the fight!"
