"Quick! Attack!"

Li Yan shouted loudly and hurriedly led two thousand cavalry to support the front army.

He never expected that he would lose more than a thousand people before he came into contact with the opponent's cavalry.

The war situation was out of his control from the beginning.

Li Yan knew that if he still stood still, the remaining infantry would be eaten by the Tiger Roaring Battalion in the blink of an eye.

With a slight sweat on his forehead, Li Yan took the lead to boost morale.

"kill!"

The two thousand cavalry of the Han army started running.

Tiger Roaring Camp was as fast as a flying bird and was soon in front of us. They did not rush straight into Li Yan's battle formation, but split up in front of the shield wall, changing from a straight "I" shape to a "V" shape.

This is a formation that the cavalry will adopt against the enemy when they have an absolute advantage.

This is to surround and destroy them!

The veins in Li Yan's hand holding the gun popped out, and he felt extremely humiliated. He quickly ordered the cavalry to divide into two groups to attack the Tiger Roaring Camp.

In this way, the Han army's infantry and cavalry formed a "fist".

No, it should be said to be a sharp arrow! Li Yan wanted to pierce through the thick "cloth" stretched out by Huxiao Camp.

Facing the oncoming Han cavalry, Huxiaoying still had time to take out his hand crossbow and shoot at the Han troops on both sides of the shield wall.

The Han infantry who were about to cooperate with the cavalry to attack were startled and quickly shrank their heads behind the solid tower shield.

At this time, the heavy cavalry at the front of the Huxiao camp and the Han army's cavalry began to collide.

Jingzhou has not experienced war for a long time, and the army only has light cavalry.

Everyone knows that heavy cavalry is stronger than light cavalry, but to what extent is it stronger?

Hu Xiaoying quickly taught Li Yan a lesson.

Just like a herd of elephants crushing a pack of wolves, the Han cavalry were instantly killed and turned upside down.

Li Yan was surprised. Before the war started, he even considered replacing the Tiger Roaring Camp with 2:1 casualties, but he still did not expect that the battlefield would be one-sided.

What frightened Li Yan even more was that the defeat of the cavalry shook the confidence of the soldiers, and some of the infantry began to flee back.

Huang Zu's pale face appeared in front of his eyes, and Li Yan finally felt the despair that appeared on Huang Zu's face when he talked about the Tiger Roar Camp.

Want to escape?

No, you can't escape!

Li Yan gritted his teeth. He was not from a noble family, but he got to where he is today based on his strength.

In Jingzhou, how many people are peeping at his current position. If he fails again, he will definitely not be able to keep this position. What else will Li Yan have then?

His face turned ferocious, and Li Yan yelled.

"If you eat the king's salary, you must sacrifice your life for the master. Anyone who dares to step back even half a step will be killed on the spot!"

The fleeing soldier stopped, but Li Yan felt a pair of eyes staring at him.

"Zhou Tai is here, can the enemy general dare to fight?"

Li Yan's eyes instantly focused on a figure running towards him. He licked his lips. Perhaps this was the only turning point!

······

"withdraw troops?"

On the front line of the attack on the North Gate, several commanders looked at each other and were a little reluctant. One of the generals who was not Wenpin's direct subordinate stood up and asked.

"General Wen, now that the north gate has been breached, it would be a pity to withdraw our troops now! Is this really what the general means?"

The damn north gate has been broken!

It's been broken all night, and as many people as possible will die if they go in.

The soldiers fell at the north gate, and their bodies were piled up into a threshold half a meter high!

Wenpin had a dark face.

In addition to the arrival of the Tiger Roar Camp, the long-term attack was also the reason why Wenpin hoped that Cai Mao would withdraw his troops. After failing to capture the north gate last night, he had already had a premonition that Jiangxia City would probably not be taken back.

If being unable to attack for a long time just made Wenpin think about retreating, then the arrival of Tiger Roaring Camp made this idea a necessity.

Of course, the order to retreat was not given by Cai Mao, because Wenpin knew that the military situation was on fire. If we wait until Huxiao Camp defeats Li Yan before preparing to withdraw, I'm afraid no one will be able to leave by then!

"I say it again, withdraw your troops immediately!"

Seeing that Wenpin didn't answer directly, the commander who asked the question looked at Wenpin suspiciously and clasped his fists.

"General Wen, this matter is of great importance. The general still needs to send someone to the big tent to ask for instructions before he can comply with the order."

A cold light passed by, and a sword was placed on the commander's neck.

Wenpin's eyes were like a man-eating beast, and only a cold air came out of his mouth.

"I say it for the last time, withdraw your troops immediately! If anything happens, I will be responsible!"

The sharp tenacity pressed against his throat, and a drop of cold sweat streaked from his forehead to his chin. The commander-in-chief did not dare to move and said hurriedly.

"Yes, yes! It's all based on General Wen's orders!"

······

As his horse galloped on the battlefield, Zhou Tai felt a little high-spirited.

This was his first time commanding the Tiger Roar Camp, Jiangdong's trump card.

The battlefield on the front is a "pin" formation with heavy infantry and light infantry, supplemented by cavalry at the rear.

Zhou Tai understood clearly that he wanted to use infantry to hold them back and use cavalry to outflank both wings and defeat them.

Zhou Tai smiled slightly. The general opposite was quite good. This move was good for dealing with ordinary cavalry.

It's a pity that he has to deal with the Tiger Roaring Camp.

"Prepare short spears and target the enemy's flanks."

"attack!"

Thousands of short spears were thrown out from the galloping horses, making a sharp sound, like tearing the air and crossing space.

Just two waves of attacks caused the enemy's flanks to collapse.

"Hehehe~~"

Zhou Tai nodded with satisfaction. It would be a bit difficult if the enemies were all heavy infantry equipped with tower shields. What would the light infantry have to fear? If it wasn't for the purpose of annihilating the enemy, he would have defeated this infantry in a single confrontation.

Now Zhou Tai is waiting for the enemy general to make a choice.

Do you not dare to fight, just give up a few thousand infantry and flee, and save the remaining 2,000 cavalry?

Or should we let 2,000 cavalry rescue them so that not even one of them can escape?

Zhou Tai bet that the other party would definitely choose the second option.

The enemy general did not disappoint Zhou Tai's expectations, and 2,000 cavalry began to enter the battlefield.

Zhou Tai felt proud. Obviously the first method was better, but few people would make such a choice.

Because before the results come out, few people will feel that they will lose even their pants.

Stable!

Zhou Tai began to order the entire army to surround the enemy in a "V" formation.

After using crossbows to consume the enemy's infantry phalanx and intimidate these cowards, the heavy cavalry fought against the Han cavalry.

Zhou Tai smiled coldly.

The Tiger Roaring Battalion is divided into 1,000 heavy cavalry and 2,000 light cavalry.

The standard equipment of each soldier is: two short spears, a one-handed crossbow, and a saber.

The difference is that in order to reduce weight, the light cavalry has almost no armor on their horses, but the soldiers are equipped with full-body armor that is tighter than ordinary infantry, as well as a wooden spear with a fine iron tip.

The horses of the heavy cavalry are equipped with heavy armor, and the soldiers' armors are armed to the teeth, and they also have a spear made entirely of fine iron.

How do ordinary light cavalry fight heavy cavalry?

All Zhou Tai could think of was running, but the enemy general obviously didn't expect that.

On the battlefield, the heavy cavalry of the Tiger Roar Battalion crushed them all the way.

The Han army began to flee.

At this time, the enemy general appeared, and he began to boost his morale and fight to the death.

Zhou Tai was a little admired and a little annoyed.

No matter how weak the enemy is facing you, they still have the possibility to kill you, but those deserters who just run for their lives and turn their backs to you don't even have a chance to kill you.

If the enemy army begins to flee, the Tiger Roaring Battalion will have no trouble killing them.

Why should we use the lives of soldiers to fill the gap when victory can be obtained more easily?

Zhou Tai is a prudent person. For the same product, of course he would choose the one with the lowest price.

So he decided to kill the leader.

Zhou Tai raised the spear in his hand, which was a steel weapon only equipped at the general level.

The craftsmen heated and forged the "fine iron" more than a hundred times, weighing each time and weighing each time, until the weight did not decrease, and then the steel was made hundreds of times.

The steel gun is much stronger and sharper than ordinary fine iron, and he only got it not long ago.

Whether it was because he was in excellent condition today or because his body was gradually getting used to the weight, Zhou Tai felt that the weapon in his hand was particularly handy today.

Li Yan was killed in the twenty-sixth round, and the morale of the Han army collapsed and began to retreat.

The Tiger Roaring Battalion chased and killed them until the enemy troops were scattered and fled.

From what I could see, the Han army began to retreat in full force!

"Brothers, follow me and capture Cai Mao alive!"

Zhou Taizheng went to kill the Chinese army, but was stopped again.

There was actually an elite force of three thousand men left behind.

This was really beyond Zhou Tai's expectation. Looking at Wenpin opposite, Zhou Tai shouted and asked,

"Wenpin, right? Aren't you afraid of death?"

Wenpin glared.

"If you are loyal to your Majesty, why should you fear death?"

The enemy's eyes revealed the courage to fight to the death and the desire for victory, which made Zhou Tai couldn't help but be excited.

"good!"

It is this kind of enemy who is worthy of being their opponent.

"Cone Array"

How can Tiger Roar Camp be afraid of powerful enemies?

The soldiers' eyes burned with fire.

"Peel through them!"

"Must win!" "Must win!" "Must win!"

······

Standing at the top of the city, it is more intuitive to see the battlefield in the distance.

This was the second time that most of the Yulin Army saw the Tiger Roar Camp fighting.

Compared with the battles they had experienced in person, what brought them fear at first was now shock.

Destroying and overwhelming, it is unstoppable!

This scene was imprinted in the eyes of every Yulin Army soldier.

Ji Shu felt a little emotional. He originally thought that it would take at least two or three days before reinforcements would arrive. Otherwise, Sun Ce would leave all the fighting here to him and wait until the feign attack troops on Shiting battlefield were annihilated before arriving.

But Ji Shu didn't expect that Sun Ce would let the three thousand Tiger Roaring Battalion cross the entire battlefield and go straight to Jiangxia. He could even imagine the furious and pale face of the Han army commander.

"The whole army is pursuing us!"

"yes!"
