On the endless dark plain, countless starlight flashed above the head, and the long horns sounded in the wilderness. Even the Khwarezmian army on the other side could hear it clearly.

The sound of the generals gathering and the figures of the soldiers running back and forth instantly made the atmosphere on both sides of the Amu River become tense, and the suffocating murderous aura gradually spread between the two sides.

The long horn sound continued to sound in the wilderness. With Ye Qing, Temujin began to assemble troops, and the entire camp that had just been stationed began to extinguish the torches and the bonfires on the plains.

The Khwarezmians who were originally looking around on the other side suddenly turned black. The Liao coalition was as if they were swallowed up by the night out of thin air. Only the roars, gatherings, the neighing reputation of war horses, and the collision of armor and weapons came faintly from the other side.

Under the endless night, the sound of horse hooves rose everywhere, and the tension dust gradually rose up floated across the river and fell into the army of the Khwarezm people opposite, allowing the Khwarezm people who were gathering to fight to smell a bit of murderous aura from it.

Although the Wujie Army in Yeli fought the largest number of people, they were responsible for guarding the camp when they were stationed in the camp, so they were the first line of defense to complete the assembly and set out from the camp to head north.

The Qishilie Gods Slave naturally acted as the second line of defense, followed closely behind and rushed north along the river, always preparing to catch the Yeli Zhan in front of him by surprise, and they could prevent the enemy from rushing towards the camp further and quickly.

Although Ye Qing and Temujin have never fought side by side, the tacit understanding between the two is the best pair. Temujin chose to unfold on the spot to face the Khwarezmians on the other side, and may have crossed the river to impact them.

Ye Qing grabbed Mu Huali and Mo Xiaobao and got on the war horse, and led the five thousand people under his command without looking back, and rushed downstream along the Amu River.

Everything was going on in an orderly and tense manner under the dark night. Although there would be individual incidents where soldiers could not find generals, at this time, it was obvious that no one would have time to fully assemble the soldiers under his command.

Therefore, the number of people who stayed under Temujin's command to prevent the attack on the Khwarezmian on the other side reached nearly 7,000. After Ye Qing was able to gather smoothly, there were only more than 4,000 people. After losing the illumination of torches and bonfires in the entire camp, they were either taken away by the troops of the Qishilie Gods slaves, or they were requisitioned on the spot by the generals under Temujin when they could not find their commander.

On the night of July 30, the first year of Shaoxi, the stand-up confrontation that was originally just a confrontation across the river gradually evolved from the afternoon to an ambush. With the arrival of night, after Ye Qing and Temujin saw through the tricks of the Khwarezmians, it turned into a truly cruel encounter.

As the saying goes, the brave will win when they meet on a narrow road. Whether it is the 4,000 people led by Ye Qing, Ye Li's troops who fought against his own troops, or the troops of the slaves of the gods of Qi Shilie, the moment the horn sounded, and the time when these days they were always on high alert, so even if they gathered to meet the enemy in a hurry, they still showed their strength and courage.

As the first line of defense, Ye Li Zhan rushed north along the river. When the army galloped for only five or six miles, there was a faint sound of horse hooves coming from the front. Under the dark night, the torches lit up with the march wandered on the plains like ghost fires.

The sound of the turbulent river next to it is becoming more and more urgent, which is enough to prove that Yeli Zhan and they are not far from the enemy encircled from the flanks.

"Preparation of crossbow arrows." Under the thick night, Ye Li Zhan's voice was like a sharp blade passing through the night sky.

The distance of five or six miles was enough to allow the generals of the Wuwang Army to adjust the formation of their soldiers, so the overall speed was slowed down at this time, and the fan-shaped troops began to continue moving forward steadily.

As the sound of horse hooves gradually became more and more powerful, the turbulent river water next to it became louder and louder, and the ignition lights in the darkness ahead also began to become increasingly dense.

As the fire became denser, it was enough to tell that the opponent's speed was constantly accelerating, and it seemed that he was planning to attack their first line of defense at speed.

"Shoot the arrow!" Ye Lizhan roared, and then on the endless night plain, there was a shocking shout of killing sound like a thunder on the ground.

The Khwarezmians' impact speed did not decrease. Even the first wave of arrow rain in Yeli Zhan had already had an impact on them. However, the Khwarezmians were as determined, ignoring the second wave of arrows breaking through the air above their heads, and continued to plan to attack Yeli Zhan with speed.

The rain of arrows fell sharply under the night sky, and the cavalry of the Khwarezmians also began to scream, muffled groans, and neighing after the war horses were shot. One by one, soldiers fell off the horse's back. Before they could protect their heads, the horse's hooves behind them trampled on him mercilessly.

A shrill scream immediately rang through the night sky, but almost instantly it was drowned in the rushing sound of the Khwarezmian army.

"Kill!" As the distance between the crossbow archers on the horse and the Khwarezm people became closer, the spearmen who had been preparing for a long time behind him rode their horses and whipped them quickly rushed towards the Khwarezm people, trying to block their impact.

The crossbow archers on the horse's back took advantage of the rare opportunity and no longer had to wait for the main general to give another order. Moreover, even if the main general shouted out loud, on the plain where the shouting of killing was already filled, he might not even be able to hear what he was shouting.

So at this time, the guards relied entirely on their instincts and their daily cooperation with others. After the spearmen passed by them, they successfully replaced the crossbow arrows in their hands, and then formed the second wave of spearmen to stop the enemy.

The Qi Shilie's Gods slaves, who were waiting for the battle, had to roar and call out the sound of killing that echoed through the heaven and earth in the dark night ahead, and they had to roar and start to slow down. The short-distance scouts were already speeding in the dark night, checking the battle situation ahead, and reporting at any time whether the commander should attack or wait.

Temujin, who was similar to the Qishilie Gods slaves, was guarding the river bank at this time. No matter how the Khwarezmians on the other side were deployed to both sides under the illumination of torches, Temujin remained motionless and steadily stuck on the other side, ignoring the Khwarezmians' small cavalry crossing the river from both wings in order to disrupt the morale of the army.

"I don't have to pay attention, just keep a close eye on the front!" Temujin's eyes looked particularly bright in the dark night, and he said calmly to Zhong Can next to him.

The two wings sent by the Khwarezmians on the other side, whether they were tentative crossing the river or real life crossing the river, had no way to make Temujin's troops move half a minute on the other side, and had to start sending additional crossing forces on the two wings.

However, as their troops crossing the river increased, when the front troops had already begun to wade through the river, the sound of bows and arrows breaking through the air in the endless dark night opposite.

With the Borzhe who was hiding on Temujin's wings and guarding the darkness, more than 2,000 Tatar bows and arrows led by more than 2,000 Tatars shot arrows at the Khwarezmians on the river surface. A group of the dark river surface suddenly became messy. At first, the Khwarezmian soldiers fell from the horse's back to the water because of avoiding the bows and arrows, splashing loud waves, and then they were struggling downstream by the turbulent river water.

But obviously, the Khwarezmians on the other side did not want to give up crossing the river so easily. Moreover, they could only restrain the Liao people's coalition and gain time and opportunity for the two wings that were truly encircled.

The Tatars' bows and arrows were not as convenient as crossbows. This was just the view of the Song people. In the eyes of the Tatars, their bows and arrows were much more convenient than the Song people's crossbows and were more lethal.

Therefore, the Khwarezmians who crossed the river with both wings faced the Tatars who were willing to show off their archery skills, and it was difficult to climb to the sky if they wanted to cross the river in a strong battle.

The Khwarezmians downstream were obviously much luckier than their companions who had restrained the Liao coalition. They crossed the river effortlessly, then gathered on the shore and began to go north along the Hebei region, starting to attack the Liao coalition from their real flanks.

Mo Xiaobao's two thousand crossbow arrows were already on the string, while Mu Huali on the other side was also ambushed.

Ye Qing did not run forward five or six miles like Ye Li Zhan. Instead, after riding the horses to the south for only two or three miles, he stopped after making a large area behind him that Temujin could buffer each other.

Fortunately, at this time, they had not discovered the troops crossing the river by Khwarezmian people, so he had enough time to start calmly defending like the slaves of the gods of Qishilie.

The crossbow arrows were not flexible in the hands of the Tatars, but in the hands of the Song people, they were comparable to those of the Tatars. Therefore, as the Khwarezmians began to gather again after they got ashore and surrounded the flanks of Temujin along the river, Ye Qing's troops were already waiting calmly.

Mo Xiaobao's voice sounded in the night. Compared to the shouts of killing between Yeli Zhan and the Khwarezm people, the side seemed much calmer.

The sharp sound of crossbow arrows cutting through the night sky sounded, and then the screams of the unprepared Khwarezmians. As many as five waves of arrow rain attacked, the generals of the Khwarezmians came to their senses. However, without waiting for him to order the troops to retreat, a cavalry unit silently emerged from their side.

They did not give them a chance to react at all, and the entire cavalry rushed towards them from the side like a sharp blade in the thick night.

On the left is the Amu River, in front is endless attacks from arrows, and on the right are Tatar cavalry suddenly appearing. So the Khwarezmians who wanted to attack did not successfully attack. Instead, they were waiting for the rabbit to stop and caught an ambush in the middle of the road.

Behind Ye Qing, there were only 200 Jia She's personal soldiers, but as Mo Xiaobao put down his crossbow and replaced it with a spear and waist knife, he began to kill the enemy. What Ye Qing had to do was to make up for the missing Khwarezmian during Mo Xiaobao's attack.

The entire Khwarezmian was cut off by Mu Huali on the side. In the chaos, it was particularly difficult to even turn around and retreat. Most of the troops had to start retreating towards the Amu River on the left.

The tail was cut off by the waist was left for Mu Huali to attack, while the troops in front were left for Mo Xiaobao to clean up. Just like making dumplings, without knowing the strength of the Khwarezmians, the 4,000 people under Ye Qing steadily occupied the initiative in the ambush.
