Just when Hu Che'er was imagining that the eight thousand Xiliang cavalry would easily overwhelm the enemy formation.
Unexpectedly, the shield wall and halberd formation remained as still as a mountain after enduring the violent impact of the cavalry.
On the other hand, the Xiliang cavalry who rushed in front were pierced by the halberds thrust out from the gap in their shields, instantly piercing their bodies and falling into piles of blood.
"kill!"
"kill!"
The three thousand Xichu Euphorbia warriors roared in unison, and with uniform steps, they jumped over the mountains of corpses and seas of blood on the ground, and continued to advance forward.
In an instant, a large number of Xiliang cavalry were blocked by giant shields, and then they were greeted by piercing halberds.
Within a moment, the Yanling formation composed of eight thousand Xiliang cavalry gradually collapsed.
Even the cavalry in the front row were responsible for charging the formation, and some people had already begun to turn their horses' heads and prepare to retreat.
"Go all back!"
In the Xiliang army formation, Hu Che'er brandished his halberds and casually killed several defeated soldiers, shouting angrily: "How can the Xiliang cavalry be greedy for life and afraid of death? Kill them all back for me to avenge your lord."
"The supervising team obeys the order, and anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!"
After Hu Che'er's bloody suppression, the Xiliang cavalry, which was on the verge of collapse, gradually restored some order.
Looking at the cold and ruthless war supervisors behind them, the Xiliang cavalry could only bite the bullet and attack the shield wall and halberd formation of the Xichu Euphorbia warriors.
"Pass my military order and order all the 20,000 Xiliang infantry troops in the rear to attack. Let me defeat this enemy army in one fell swoop."
As Hu Cheer's military order was issued again, the 20,000 Xiliang infantry troops behind them rushed to the battlefield in an instant.
Han Xuan, who was watching the fire from across the bank, suddenly saw this scene and immediately laughed loudly and said: "Hahaha! I didn't expect that Mr. Gao really didn't lie and actually blocked the attack of the Xiliang cavalry."
"Pass my military order and order the left and right armies to attack the two wings of the Xiliang Infantry. Huh! The Xiliang Iron Cavalry cannot be defeated by labor and capital. Could it be that these horseless Xiliang Infantry cannot be defeated by labor and capital?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged fierce general with slightly white temples cupped his fists and asked for battle: "Sir, all the Xiliang troops in the city have been dispatched, and the city is empty and defenseless."
"The last general, Huang Zhong, would like to lead a light cavalry of several hundred people to take a detour through the west gate and capture Wancheng in one fell swoop."
Han Xuan was a little moved, but after thinking for a moment, he shook his head decisively and refused: "General Huang is our most powerful general in Changsha County. If he is used to sneak attack the enemy city, wouldn't he be overqualified?"
"My nephew Han Li, although he has just joined the army, is very skilled in martial arts. He holds a thirty-pound Yanling sword and can kill generals and seize flags. Let him lead the cavalry to raid the enemy's rear!"
"Where is Han Li?"
"The end will be here."
"Can you lead an army to attack the west city gate?"
"Why not? My sword is already hungry and thirsty. If we can't attack the west city gate, I will come to see you with my head raised."
Huang Zhong wanted to say something more, but Han Li was already happily leading hundreds of cavalry to attack the west gate.
Looking at Huang Zhong with a helpless expression.
Han Xuan stroked his beard and said comfortingly: "General Huang, don't be anxious! The two armies are walking on thin ice, and the opportunity to fight is fleeting."
"You are the most powerful general in my Changsha County. Naturally, you are the last trump card in my hands. You will definitely appear as the finale. Don't worry! If you work with me, Han Xuan, I can still lose you."
Having said that.
But Han Xuan had other thoughts in his mind.
Huang Zhong and Wei Yan's combat prowess can be regarded as the best in the world. If he hadn't been secretly operating in these years, allowing his trusted generals to replace their military achievements, the two of them would have been promoted long ago.
If the performance of Huang Zhong and Wei Yan in this battle is too amazing, they will inevitably be exposed in front of everyone. By then, it will be difficult for him to keep them and earn merit for himself.
Just when Han Xuan was making his wishful thinking.
On the battlefield, 30,000 Jingzhou infantry troops collided with 20,000 Xiliang infantry troops.
In an instant, a group of Jingzhou infantry in the front row were knocked down and chopped down by the sturdy Xiliang infantry.
Countless streams of blood flew.
Countless heads rolled down.
Immediately afterwards, the 20,000 Xiliang infantry were like a pack of hungry wolves, madly slaughtering the thin Jingzhou infantry.
These Xiliang infantry troops all came from Liangzhou, where Hu and Han people lived together. The people there are already strong and fierce. They have eaten beef and mutton since childhood, and everyone is martial and good at killing and fighting.
Both in terms of physique and combat power, they are much stronger than ordinary Central Plains infantry.
Under the same circumstances, a Xiliang infantryman can easily kill an ordinary infantry, or even two ordinary infantrymen, by virtue of his own physique and fighting skills.
Although there are 20,000 Xiliang infantry fighting against 30,000 Jingzhou infantry on the battlefield, the direction of the battle is completely in favor of the Xiliang infantry.
Soon the 30,000 Jingzhou infantry troops were gradually killed and suffered heavy losses, completely falling into a disadvantage.
Just when Han Xuan was having a headache about the situation on the field.
Wei Yan had already driven his horse to Han Xuan's side and said angrily: "General Huang and I will go on stage!"
"If we don't lead the left and right armies, I'm afraid we will lose more than we win in this battle! Maybe the whole army may be annihilated."
Looking at Wei Yan with a mocking look on his face.
Han Xuan felt extremely unhappy.
Although he deliberately let them appear, he still pretended to be indifferent and said unhurriedly: "It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter!"
"My nephew Han Li has led hundreds of light cavalry to attack the west city gate in a detour. It must have been captured by now..."
Before he finished speaking, a sentry rider suddenly came galloping to report.
"Lord Qi, the 800 cavalrymen who just went to attack the west city gate encountered a desperate counterattack by 300 enemy troops in the city. Now they have lost more than half and returned in defeat."
Han Xuan couldn't help but shrink his pupils and exclaimed in disbelief: "How is this possible? My nephew Han Li, holding a thirty kilograms of Yanling sword, has fought all over the country without ever encountering an opponent. How could he be defeated? To a mere three hundred enemy troops?"
"Where is Han Li? Let him come to see me quickly. I want to see what is going on!"
Looking at Han Xuan in anger.
The sentry rider felt his head pounding. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally gritted his teeth and said decisively:
"Lord Qi, Han Li... After General Han Li led his army into the city, he encountered Lei Xu, the general of Xiliang. The two fought against each other for less than three rounds before he was beheaded by his horse."
Suddenly hearing the bad news, Han Xuanru was struck by lightning, and he cried bitterly and cried out: "I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry for you as a father! I originally thought of taking you into the army to be gilded, so that I can find a good career for you in the future. Location."
Everyone looked at Han Xuan who was crying and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
He thought secretly: Isn't Han Li the nephew of Master Han? Why did he suddenly become a son? Could it be Master Han and his sister-in-law who is a widow at home...
