"Woo-wu-wu-"
A huge horn sounded, and Xirong took the lead in launching an attack. Zhekang pointed his scimitar forward and shouted:
"Cavalry charge!"
Following his order, the Xirong cavalry all twitched their horses' buttocks and ran out of the formation.
For a time, dust was flying on the vast plain, and the sound of horse hooves was deafening.
Thousands of troops and horses came like a tide, and the Xirong cavalry also began to wave their scimitars on their horses and howl and scream.
Since there was enough buffer zone between the two sides, Xiao Yuan raised his sword high after Xirong reached a certain distance:
"Arrow Array——"
"Arrow array preparation——"
"Arrow array preparation——"
The messengers began to ride their horses back and forth.
The Qin army's camp suddenly changed drastically. With the sounds of armor scraping one after another, the soldiers in the front row loaded their bows with arrows, drew them to full length, and pointed diagonally upward.
The racks of broken military crossbows were also pulled apart by people's combined efforts.
The sound of mechanical vibration filled the whole place.
"Let go!" Xiao Yuan pointed his sword forward.
He gave an order, and with a buzz, countless arrows shot out instantly!
This was a decisive battle on the plains, not a siege. Tens of thousands of people fired volleys. The scene was so huge that it was staggering!
The dense arrows gathered into a black curtain, sweeping up from the Qin army's camp, covering the sun in the sky!
The black spots gathered together, covering the sky and the earth, like a giant net, fiercely covering the Xirong cavalry.
Plop, plop!
In an instant, the ground was covered with carved feathers. Unknown how many Xirong soldiers were shot to the ground while charging forward, and then trampled to death.
The neighing and screaming of the war horses came one after another.
The Qin army's arrow array instantly harvested a large area of life, but despite this, it did not stop the attack of the Xirong cavalry.
"Array-"
As the commander's flag waved, the Qin army's formation changed again.
The front row of crossbowmen quickly retreated, and began to be supported by the halberd infantry.
boom! Boom boom!
The heavy shields hit the ground, the halberds were behind, and they faced forward in unison.
At the same time, the Xirong cavalry also swept in!
The Qin army's formation changed again, splitting into two in the middle instantly, allowing countless Xirong cavalry to rush into the formation, and then quickly closed up.
In the formation, the momentum of the war horses continued unabated, some collided with heavy shields, and knocked over a crowd.
Similarly, I don't know how many Western soldiers were stabbed off their horses by halberds on both sides.
People were lying on their backs and horses were falling, and everywhere was filled with the neighing of horses and the miserable howls of people.
And once a Xirong soldier falls from his horse to the ground, he will immediately be hooked into the formation by the halberd behind the shield formation...
After closing the formation and trapping the Xirong cavalry, Xiao Yuan immediately gave the order and began to actively press forward.
"ha--"
With a shout, the shield formation was divided again, and the halberd infantry behind them picked up their halberds and began to charge.
"Fight the Qin Army——" On the other side of Xirong, Zhekang also pointed his scimitar and ordered the Xirong infantry to start charging.
The two sides soon met, and where the confrontation occurred, blood was immediately splashed on the spot!
This is a tragic scene.
As soon as they met, the front row of the Qin army came out with long halberds, hooks and thorns, like cutting wheat, harvesting a piece in an instant.
Of course, once a soldier is killed in battle, someone will immediately replace him.
In this kind of decisive battle, Zhekang originally thought that with the fighting power of the Xirong Army, he could crush the Qin Army to death, but what he didn't expect was that the Qin Army's fighting spirit was overwhelming and they would not retreat but advance!
As we all know, in ancient battlefields, when two armies are fighting, once the momentum is suppressed, no matter how strong your troops are, you will probably be completely defeated!
Just like deserters are like the plague, which will cause a series of effects on a large area, the same goes for morale.
At this moment, there is no need to say much about the morale of the Qin army. Peng Shuang and other generals have long been at the forefront of the crowd.
The long sword in his hand opens and closes widely, sweeping across thousands of armies. Often a single blow will fly backwards instead of killing a single person.
"Kill! Kill all the Xirong traitors! Take back your homeland! Avenge your shame -" Goldman Sachs and other generals were already covered in blood, and they kept shouting to boost their morale.
"Kill——" Under their leadership, the Qin army pressed harder.
At the most intense battle point on the battlefield, Peng Shuang met Gu Le again, but the latter knew how brave he was and was not willing to fight with him at all. After a few moves, he immediately retreated, preparing to turn elsewhere.
"Where to run!" But Peng Shuang refused to let go and pursued him relentlessly.
Thinking about how long ago Tagule had been humiliated like this in Xirong, he couldn't help but became furious, turned around, and fought with Peng Shuang again.
The two of them were both powerful against thousands of troops, and they were fighting together. The surrounding Xirong soldiers and Qin troops also dispersed, leaving enough space for the two of them.
This is a battle between point and edge.
Xirong used 50,000 elite troops to crush the Qin army in one fell swoop.
But Xiao Yuan is the same, wanting to destroy Xirong in one battle!
The war continued, and time slowly passed. On the battlefield, there were still shouts of killing Zhentian.
This battle lasted until the sun turned to the west, and Zhekang finally couldn't stand it anymore.
Because what he wanted was to overwhelm the Qin army, but now he was counterattacked. If he continued to fight, he might be in danger of being annihilated.
He also made a prompt decision and immediately called his deputy general and told him: "You lead the rear army to withdraw first and set up an ambush in the valley."
"But general, if we retreat now, our army will be defeated. If we try to counterattack then, it will be impossible." The deputy general reminded.
Hearing this, Zhekang glanced at him and said: "The strength of the Qin army exceeded my expectations. If we continue to fight, our army will definitely be defeated! I can't make the same mistake as Xianda did in this expedition. Hurry up." Go and give the order!”
"This...is!" The general took the order and left.
Zhe Kang's retreat was not a scurry, but a lieutenant shilling to set an ambush on the main retreat route.
Following his order, Xirong's formation quickly changed, and the rear army quickly retreated. Although the fighting did not stop at the place where they met, they also began to fight and retreat. It didn't take long before it turned into a hasty retreat.
This retreat meant fleeing across the board, abandoning their armor and armor, and the situation suddenly changed drastically.
On the plain, Xirong's front army shrank in large areas from left to right like the ebbing sea water.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan immediately became energetic and shouted loudly:
"Xirong is defeated! Chase! Chase for me——"
With the decision-making of the commanders of the two armies, the two sides began to change from a decisive battle on the plains to a pursuit battle.
The two armies were one behind the other. Xirong could run as fast as he could. Xiao Yuan had already mounted his horse, followed by countless Qin troops.
This pursuit lasted more than twenty miles. Soon, the Qin army also arrived at the entrance of a valley.
"Uh-" Xiao Yuan tightened the reins and began to scan the surrounding terrain coldly, and the army behind him also stopped one after another.
In front was the defeated Xirong army, and one could even see its tail. Peng Shuang couldn't help but come to Xiao Yuan's side and said urgently:
"Sir! Xirong's army has been defeated like a mountain. It's so close before our eyes. As long as our army pursues it for a moment, we will definitely kill him and turn him upside down! Why stop?"
"Stop chasing him!" Xiao Yuan raised his hand to interrupt him. After looking away from the mountains on both sides, he also turned his horse's head:
"Retreat first!"
