The next day, when the morning sun rose, the city head of Yumen Pass was covered with a golden light curtain.

The city wall, which was originally made of loess, is like an old yellow-spotted tiger, thick and majestic, squatting in the vast wilderness.

The door slowly opened, just like a beast opening its bloody mouth and showing off its fangs.

In this battle, the vanguard general is still Chu Minyu.

The second son of the Chu family became famous in the Xirong army because of the battle at Guzang Pass.

With him as the vanguard general, he can paralyze Zuoxian King Zahar, and there will be no doubt about the nature of this battle for the time being.

Chu Minyu led an army of 50,000 people to face the enemy head-on. He and Zahar set up a formation five miles outside Yumen Pass.

In order to show his momentum, Zahar specially wore a golden cloak outside his black armor today.

He has a rugged appearance, with the standard round face of Xirong people and thick eyebrows and big eyes. In addition, he is only less than forty years old and has a loud voice, which makes him look very heroic.

Zahar raised his thick palms to his eyebrows to block a little sunlight, and he could clearly see Chu Minyu on the opposite side and the 50,000 soldiers who left the country with him.

Chu Minyu was making gestures with him. After Zahar understood, he led his bodyguard forward.

Chu Minyu also drove his horse forward. Under the sun, he was dressed in silver armor, holding a Dingkun flame gun in his hand. He had a jade face and red lips. If he had one more eye between his eyebrows, he would be like the Erlang God from heaven who descended to earth.

Zahar thought to himself: "I won't say how this Chu family's young boy fought in the battle, but he looks really good.

I heard that he has a sister who is not yet married and looks very similar to him. After the pass is passed, I will go to Yangguan to catch her and enjoy her. "

He secretly glanced behind Chu Minyu and found that among the 50,000 soldiers Chu Minyu had brought, 10,000 were cavalry and the remaining 40,000 were infantry. He couldn't help showing contempt.

Anyone familiar with the art of war knows that cavalry is the natural enemy of infantry.

Zahar brought a hundred thousand troops to besiege Yumen Pass. In these days, more than ten thousand slave troops have been lost, but the rest are elite cavalry.

Ninety thousand versus fifty thousand, or cavalry versus infantry, Zahar felt that Chu Minyu must have been pushed to the end of the road by him before he would switch to the battle.

"The Chu family's junior, I heard that you were able to challenge Battle with a gun, and you are very good at Chu family's marksmanship. Do you want to play with one of my generals first?"

Zahar spoke lightly and provoked.

Chu Minyu kept in mind his eldest sister's advice and must not act out of emotion, and refused: "Zahar, if you dare to come forward and challenge me in person, I will be happy to accompany you. I don't like anyone else, so just I’m too lazy to bother with this!”

Zahar will not be provoked by Chu Minyu. He is not afraid of Chu Minyu, but he maintains his identity and will definitely not take risks himself.

If he makes any mistake, it will be very uneconomical.

"Haha, Chu family's junior, it seems that you also know that you are no match for my general.

Today's battle was invited by you.

If you are beaten to a pulp by my army later, don’t cry for your father! "

Chu Minyu rolled his eyes at him and cursed: "What's the point of fighting for verbal advantage? Come on, let's do it!"

After saying that, he raised the command flag, and the sound of war drums sounded in the army.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The thick sound of war drums reached the ears of the 50,000 soldiers behind Chu Minyu, and also spread to the distance.

The wilderness outside Yumen Pass is very different from that outside Yangguan.

It is all yellow sand and black soil, and there are not many plants to be seen.

The yellow sand is blown from the desert in the north, but the black soil is soaked in blood from being used as a battlefield for many years.

No one can tell how many bones are buried under this piece of land.

Sometimes, if the horse lifts its hooves, even if the movement is large, a bone may be loosened.

But this place is not completely flat.

The terrain is undulating and the natural view will be blocked.

When the war drums of the Liguo army sounded, the Xirong army also beat the war drums.

Zakhar's 90,000 people formed three square formations on the left, center and right.

The Chinese army is the main force, advancing forward to attack Chu Minyu's army.

The left and right wings were mixed with slave troops, ready to launch a relay attack after a successful assault by the central army.

Zahar retreated behind the Chinese army, preparing to board the building cart to command the battle.

There were about two thousand soldiers beside him to protect his safety.

He saw the vanguard of his Chinese army, leading 10,000 cavalry, shaped like arrows, charging towards the enemy camp.

Chu Minyu's 10,000 cavalry arrayed in front did not attack, but spread out to both sides, leaving a gap, revealing the sword and shield soldiers behind.

In this way, Xirong's vanguard battalion of 10,000 horsemen entered the enemy's formation with almost no obstacles.

Chu Minyu's 40,000 infantrymen formed a fish scale formation.

The outermost part of the formation is the sword and shield soldiers.

There are about 10,000 shields forming a shield wall, reflecting dazzling light in the sun.

Xirong's vanguard battalion of 10,000 cavalry fired in the first round. The arrows fell directly on Li Guo's shield and had no effect.

But Zahar believed that soon after, when the cavalry began to attack the sword and shield soldiers, it would be hell for the Li people and their own slaughterhouse.

However, things did not develop as he imagined. After blocking the arrows of the Xirong people, spears appeared in the gaps between the sword and shield soldiers.

The spearmen squeezed in between the sword and shield soldiers in an orderly manner, like fish scales, and suddenly grew huge teeth. From a distance, they looked like rows of huge hedgehogs.

The two types of troops fought side by side, and the Liguo people's formation began to lengthen.

Zahar had seen this style of play before, and Marquis Liyang often did this before.

The pikemen restrained the cavalry, and in this round of charge, they suffered a loss.

But Zahar didn't panic. How many spearmen could Chu Minyu have?

It depends on the situation, up to five thousand.

As long as the second group of Chinese troops can reach them in time, the enemy formation that was broken up by the first group will be unable to stop them.

At that time, this combination of sword, shield and spear soldiers will be ineffective.

The situation ahead is proceeding as Zahar expected.

Sure enough, when the 10,000 cavalrymen of the forward battalion rushed to the lined spear and shield formations, many Xirong horses were hit by spears, and many Xirong soldiers were picked off their horses.

But some Xirong cavalry still rushed over.

There were gaps in Li Guo's sword and shield array, and they gradually began to fall apart.

The sword and shield soldier held his shield, squatted down, and waved his sword, specifically to chop the legs of the Xirong cavalry.

In the first round of confrontation, Li Guo had the upper hand.

Before the scattered sword and shield formation of the Liguo army could regroup, the second group of troops from the Xirong Central Army had already arrived.

The third group of troops also approached the enemy camp.

Zahar thought to himself: "Now, the Chu family's waiter can't stand it anymore!"

Who knows, at this moment, something unexpected happened.

The ten thousand cavalrymen led by Chu Minyu just now surrounded him from both sides, just like the two horizontal curtains on the stage, they quickly closed, blocking the sight of the spectators.

All 30,000 people in Xirong's central army were surrounded by the Liguo people's formation.

Zahar couldn't help but laugh out loud: "The Chu family's waiter is really whimsical. He thinks he can swallow up my 30,000 Chinese troops in this way? Don't forget, I still have 60,000 people left?"
