Lei Xiong's troops won the great competition in the past and collected all the 300 seventy-two-refined Huanshou Swords, which greatly increased the troops' combat power.
In order to further enhance the combat effectiveness of Lei Xiong's troops, Zhang Yi allocated all the only 300 pieces of armor to Lei Xiong for this attack.
From this, a group of 300 elite swordsmen and shieldmen wearing iron armor and holding swords were formed. These 300 infantry led the way and entered the battlefield in formation, immediately putting huge pressure on E Huan's troops.
Wearing iron armor, which was difficult to break through with ordinary swords and arrows, they rushed into the barbarian army, slashing left and right. The barbarian soldiers found no enemy, so they went straight into the formation, unstoppable, and harvested a large number of heads.
Lei Xiong personally led 300 armored soldiers in front, while Badi did not dare to show weakness with 1,500 Qiang soldiers.
In this dispatch of troops, the Yueqi County government fulfilled its promise and provided the Guli tribe with 200 knives and 300 spears. Both were fine iron weapons, which greatly enhanced the fighting capacity of the Guli tribe.
These three thousand Qiang soldiers were originally the strongest force of the Guli tribe, and they had to be supplemented by the government. In addition, their ferocity was not inferior to that of the Soyi. Today, they were sure of victory. When they killed the enemy, everyone was vying to be the first, and they were unstoppable.
Lei Xiong ignored the sharp blades coming from the barbarian soldiers on the opposite side and slashed the enemy to the ground from above. When he looked down, he saw that the enemy's blade had scratched a shallow crack on the armor on his abdomen.
He made up his mind secretly, and then he leaned forward and slashed the barbarian soldiers who were attacking from the left and right to the ground one by one.
Most of his scimitar and shield wielders were already elite veterans, but now there are three hundred strong men wearing armor and holding swords, which shows that they are extremely powerful.
E Huan's troops had already been attacked by a surprise attack. Now they had fewer soldiers than their opponents and their armaments were inferior to their opponents. How could they turn things around?
Seeing that Lei Xiong's troops were like an arrow guiding the successive advances of the Han army, E Huan couldn't help but became furious and led his soldiers straight towards Lei Xiong.
He could see clearly and knew that the most elite force of the officers and soldiers was the sword and shield men led by Lei Xiong, so he ignored others and led the hundreds of men who could barely gather together to kill Lei Xiong.
According to his thinking, as long as this unstoppable infantry is defeated, the situation of the battle can be reversed, and the leader of the Han infantry is the key.
E Huan could see clearly that although this man was extremely brave, he could still easily suppress him. As long as he beheaded him, he would be able to break out of the encirclement with a bloody path.
Without thinking any more, E Huan drove his horse forward and headed straight for Lei Xiong, killing the Yi soldiers around him.
Today, although the cavalry does not have the mature iron stirrups that later generations did, there are single-sided or double-sided simple stirrups made of cloth ropes. With these simple things, the cavalry can still charge into battle.
In fact, even without stirrups, the best cavalrymen can still use the balance of their legs to perform actions such as shooting, slashing, and stabbing with only the saddle. For example, the vulture shooters in the Xiongnu tribe are strong men of this generation. .
It's just that the selection and training of such elite knights is extremely strict, and there are not too many of them. The cavalrymen in Nanzhong all ride ponies, and with simple stirrups made of coarse cloth, they can move smoothly on the horse.
E Huan rode forward on his horse, and soon came to Lei Xiong's side. With a loud sound, he slashed down with a long knife and went straight to Lei Xiong's door.
Lei Xiong didn't have time to think about it and blocked with his sword. He felt that the opponent's force was too strong and heavy to withstand. He knelt down with his right leg and blocked the sword's force.
Unexpectedly, E Huan was too powerful and struck again with his sword. Lei Xiong knelt down with his left leg again to resolve the attack.
Lei Xiong knew that the enemy general would attack with his sword repeatedly, so he knelt forward and cut off the two legs in front of the enemy general's mount. The horse screamed several times and fell to the ground, throwing E Huan away. Come down.
This time, both of them were on the ground. Lei Xiong had just suffered two hard blows from E Huan. Now he saw his opponent and could only fight on foot. He didn't dare to miss the opportunity, brandished his sharp knife and pounced on him.
Lei Xiong had the upper hand in this attack and struck out one after another, beating E Huan to the point where he could only parry.
However, E Huan is always the number one general under Gao Ding, and he has an amazing talent. He retreats while fighting, looking for the right opportunity. When Lei Xiong strikes with another knife, he ducks and stabs his opponent in the chest with the knife. go.
The power of Lei Xiong's sword was old. It was just when the old power was exhausted and the new power was not yet developed. When he saw the enemy suddenly changing his sword into a sword and stabbing him, he was stunned and could not react in time. He had to shrink his stomach, but he still couldn't dodge. He was hit by E Huan all the time.
Fortunately, he was wearing iron armor and shrank his stomach, so E Huan's knife could only pierce the armor and not hurt his skin. Just this time, E Huan turned the situation around in an instant, wielding his long sword and taking advantage of the situation to attack.
Lei Xiong's strength and martial arts skills were not as good as his opponent's. Under the continuous attack of his opponent, he was hit by several knives in a short time and was surrounded by dangers. Fortunately, he was wearing armor and no vital parts were hurt, so he was able to hold on.
On this side, Badi led his troops to break through a heavy formation of barbarian soldiers, killing him until he was covered in blood, like a messenger from hell, which was very frightening.
Seeing that Lei Xiong couldn't resist a tall barbarian general and was desperately defending, he quickly stepped forward to help with his sword.
E Huan's martial arts skills were only one step ahead of Lei Xiong's, but now he met Buddy, who was as brave as Lei Xiong. Together, the two of them immediately turned the tide of the battle.
E Huan slashed out with his sword, forcing Buddy's attack back, but he had no time to dodge Lei Xiong's killing move. He saw the opportunity quickly and jumped to the right, thus escaping the fatal blow, but his left arm was hit by Lei Xiong. The blade of the knife made a gash.
Seeing that he was no longer able to defeat the two men, E Huan quickly retreated with the support of his personal guards. Lei Xiong and Buddy took advantage of the situation and led their soldiers to catch up.
A group of Yi soldiers fled in panic when they saw their general, and they had no intention of fighting. They were immediately killed by the Han and Qiang coalition forces and were completely defeated. They were no longer able to stop and fight back.
On the other side, Li Qiucheng led the cavalry to charge repeatedly, which put a lot of pressure on Shen Da and the Guli brothers. Fortunately, the coalition forces had a larger number and formed a formation, with the sword, shield and spearmen in front, to withstand the enemy cavalry offensive. .
Shen Da led the crossbowmen to hide behind the formation and fired continuously. In a moment, the barbarian soldiers on the opposite side were dead and wounded. Even Li Qiucheng's cavalry was shot at many people as they came and went. In the blink of an eye, dozens of people fell from their horses. fall.
Two hundred of the crossbowmen led by Shen Da were equipped with sophisticated six-stone arm-opening crossbows. Although they were new soldiers, they hid behind the formation and fired with little danger. In a short time, they killed the enemy to a terrifying level. .
Li Qiucheng did not expect that he led the cavalry to charge several times. Although he initially changed his mind, he was still killed by the Han people after a while, causing many casualties among his troops. It was difficult for him to escape from the encirclement of the army.
Zhang Yi had been paying attention to Li Qiucheng's movements on the top of the mountain. When he saw that he was trapped in a fight, he immediately raised his fists to Yang Qing and said, "Master Fu, please go and kill Li Qiucheng."
Yang Qing also saw the enemy's plight in the north, nodded, and patted him on the shoulder: "Bo Qi will be able to accomplish all his dreams and make great achievements when he goes here."
Zhang Ni cupped his hands and clasped his fists, nodded solemnly in response, turned around and gave instructions to Feng Chong, and then led his only two hundred cavalrymen to charge towards Li Qiucheng from the northern hillside.
As early as when the Han army launched a counterattack, Yang Qing ordered Feng Chong to gather the cavalry for use at the critical moment. At this moment, under the leadership of Zhang Yi, the Han cavalry, which had been resting for a long time, rushed towards the enemy formation like an extremely powerful and unstoppable arrow.
The enemy troops in the north were killed one after another by the officers and soldiers' crossbowmen. It was at this time when the morale of the army was weakened, and there was nowhere left to form a strong formation to stop Zhang Yi and others.
Yang Qing stood on the top of the mountain and saw that Zhang Ni and his cavalry were unstoppable. In a moment, they were behind the Yi soldiers and went straight towards Li Qiucheng.
Zhang Yi was riding on a horse, with only the barbarian generals in black armor in front of him in sight. He waved his sword, slashing left and right, and almost no one of the barbarian generals around him could defeat him. With Feng Chong and others guarding him, it was even more... Hard to stop.
The officers and cavalry passed by and fought a bloody path.
Soon, Zhang Yi led his army to Li Qiucheng. He clamped his legs together, accelerated his horse, and headed straight for the enemy chieftain.
Li Qiucheng waved his long sword and managed to push back the Qiang soldiers around him. Just as he was waiting for a moment to breathe, he suddenly felt a murderous intention behind him, coming straight towards him.
He couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart, and felt that his whole body's energy had been locked by others. He tried his best to turn around, and saw a Han general with a resolute face and angry eyes coming towards him with a sharp blade.
"Li Qiucheng, return Gong Desu's life." Zhang Yi shouted at the top of his lungs, wielding his long knife and slashing with all his strength.
The sword was so fast that Li Qiucheng turned around. He couldn't avoid it at all. Zhang Yi's sword struck him right in the face.
Li Qiucheng died immediately. His body went limp and he fell off his horse. Before he died, Gong Lu's decisive look before his death suddenly flashed in his mind.
When Zhang Yi saw that Li Qiucheng was dead, he dismounted and cut off his head with a sword. Then he picked up the head with the tip of the knife and climbed onto his horse. He shouted loudly: "Li Qiucheng is dead. Why don't you surrender soon?"
When Feng Chong saw this, he also led his cavalry to shout in unison. When the surrounding Yi soldiers saw Li Qiucheng's unwilling face, they were all frightened. They shouted, dispersed like birds and beasts, and fled around for their lives.
