But the sacrifice of being trapped in the camp is worth it.
Gao Shun personally took action to block Xiang Zhuang, and the remaining soldiers in the trapped camp formed a complete defense system. Like a cracking rock, it delayed the impact of the Overlord Cavalry before it collapsed.
The cavalry charge, which was originally like an unstoppable torrent, slowed down visibly to the naked eye.
And when the Overlord Cavalry slowed down.
The divine arm archers on both sides began to use their crossbows to their fullest potential.
Swish swish swish!
The crossbow arrows all over the sky were like pouring rain, one after another. Covered by the crossbow arrows all over the sky, each of the Overlord's knights was shot through by random arrows. Their beards were angry and they fell to the ground with unwilling expressions on their faces.
Like a sickle harvesting wheat.
In the blink of an eye, eight thousand cavalrymen were skinned off.
…
"good!"
On the command platform, Wang Jing saw this scene, and his depressed mood because of the death of his general in battle finally relieved a lot.
Chen Gong's face kept trembling.
Every time he saw a trapped soldier fall, his heart twitched.
These eight hundred trapped camps are the core of the Pizhou Army. If they all die in battle, their losses will be huge, and it may even slow down the attack on Xuzhou.
However, dedication and sacrifice are also necessary to stay in the camp.
If they were not trapped in the camp, why would Wang Jing form an alliance with them?
"It is indeed extraordinary to be trapped in the camp! I have seen the efforts of Mr. Gongtai and General Gao Shun this time! If we can defeat Xi Chu, all the food, grass, equipment, and money and silk in Lingbi City can be returned to Pizhou!"
"As well as the captive soldiers of the Western Chu Army, they can all be sent to Pizhou!"
Wang Jing saw his expression, pondered slightly and said.
Although the Western Chu army had not yet been defeated at this time, in the eyes of Wang Jing and Chen Gong, as long as the Western Chu overlord's cavalry was blocked, the opponent would definitely be defeated.
It is not arrogant to divide the spoils now.
"Thank you, King Huai!"
Chen Gong's expression immediately improved upon hearing this. Lingbi was the foundation of the Western Chu Army at this time. Food, grass, supplies, and various savings were still in Pizhou. If they could all be moved back, the loss of the camp would not be in vain.
Moreover, what Chen Gong valued most was the soldiers of the Western Chu Army.
Especially the overlord cavalry and Jiangdong cavalry that have been carefully cultivated. It is impossible for these elites to be wiped out in the battle formation.
There will also be some prisoners left after the defeat. By bringing them back to Pizhou, the Pizhou army can not only make up for all the losses, but also increase its strength.
As for why Wang Jing sent away the prisoners of the Western Chu Army...of course it was to divert trouble eastward. When Overlord Xiang Yu comes, and if he wants to recall his old troops, he must first go to the Pizhou Army!
When the time comes, it will depend on whether Lu Bu can withstand it.
Without soldiers and horses, Xiang Yu could not use his military formations and could only rely on his own unparalleled bravery. Perhaps Lu Bu could really compete with his opponent by relying on his own Bingzhou cavalry.
Although Chen Gong is extremely intelligent, he has not yet thought about this.
He only felt that King Huai was indeed kind and kind when he saw that the camp suffered serious losses and intended to make up for it.
the other side.
After Fan Zeng sensed that there was an extra ninth-level general in the Huai army, he already knew that something was wrong. However, Xiang Zhuang and Long Qie had already launched an attack and could not withdraw at all.
Once the troops are withdrawn, the army will collapse immediately.
"Yu Ziqi!"
Fan Zeng sent someone to call Yu Ziqi who was in the rear of the army.
Although Yu Ziqi followed Long Qie's army, he was at the rear and the distance was not too far.
Being called back will not affect the army in front.
"Yafu!"
Yu Ziqi has a handsome appearance, but his strength is inferior to the other four of the Five Tiger Generals of Western Chu. It is more like he is just trying to make up for the numbers, so he is as famous as Long Qie and others.
He also has another identity, that is, Yu Ji's brother. He and Xiang are not considered outsiders.
"Immediately select the elite, enter the city to gather the family records of the Xiang family's children and the generals, and immediately leave the city to escape to the north, leaving hope for the Xiang family's children and the generals!"
"When Yu'er appears in the future, you can bring the family papers of the Xiang family's children and generals to defect..."
When Yu Ziqi heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
This is to ask him to escort the Xiang clan and the family scrolls of the generals to break out of the encirclement. At present, Long Qie is leading the troops to fight, and Xi Chu has not yet been defeated. Yafu actually orders this.
This made him feel cold.
"Yafu, what happened when you fell to the ground? Our army and the Huai army have not yet decided the winner!"
Yu Ziqi asked quickly.
"If we wait until the winner is decided, it will be too late! Who would have thought that there is a ninth-level general in the Huai army formation who is proficient in battle formations? I hope Zhuang'er can calm down and break through in time with the Overlord's cavalry..."
"If not, when the Huai army encircles us, everything will be over!"
Fan Zeng gave a long sigh.
"this……"
Yu Ziqi was shocked and realized the current situation. Without further words, he cupped his hands towards Fan Zeng and immediately mobilized his elite troops to rush towards Lingbi City.
He didn't ask why Fan Zeng didn't inform Long Qie. Let Long Qie stop attacking.
Because he knew that if possible, Fan Zeng would never let Long Qie lead the soldiers of Xichu to die in vain. There was only one reason for not notifying him, and that was that it was too late!
Just as Yu Ziqi thought in his heart.
After the Overlord's cavalry led by Xiang Zhuang and the remaining Jiangdong cavalry were stagnated and surrounded by the Huai army's central formation.
Murong Shaozong, who was standing on the command vehicle, immediately seized the opportunity.
"Bingzhou Cavalry!"
"Ride on a white horse!"
"Attack the enemy's flanks!"
He waved the command flag in his hand, and with the thunderous roar, the two elite cavalry who had been hiding in the central army circled around in an arc like thunder and lightning, without directly attacking Long Qie's main army formation.
Instead, he cut straight into the two wings from the chaotic battlefield.
At this time, the two wings of the battlefield on both sides, the Western Chu soldiers led by Xiang Sheng and Xiang Guan, were still holding back the two wings of the Huai army according to previous orders.
The two sides have been fighting each other for a long time.
The battlefield where hundreds of thousands of people were fighting covered dozens of miles in radius.
It is impossible for all the soldiers to line up neatly to form a military formation of 100,000 or even 200,000 people.
Even the central army of the Huai Army used battalions as formations, with thousands of people forming a small formation, and then each of the small formations formed a mighty army formation.
Such a military formation can be divided into several layers.
Under the general, the generals and soldiers of each department are at a certain distance from each other, and they also cover each other, and are connected through a large formation.
The most brutal fighting was among the front troops, while the role of the rear troops was to act as a reserve force.
The soldiers who fought against each other into the enemy's formation could no longer maintain their formation. They could only continue to fight under the leadership of their respective captains and hundreds of households.
The gap that was breached by the Huai Army's central army was being closed continuously during the waving of flags, hoping to keep all the Overlord's cavalry behind. Countless soldiers were like whirlpools of waves, constantly strangled.
The intensity of the battle on both wings was still higher than that of the central army.
Zhang Guiba and Tang Shengzong's troops had the advantage and had begun to push back, driving back the two troops of the Western Chu Army.
If they were given time, defeating Xiang Sheng and Xiang Guan would not be a problem.
However, time is the most precious thing on the battlefield.
It's best to defeat the enemy as early as possible.
so.
The white horse cavalry and the Bingzhou cavalry moved.
The white horse cavalry commanded by Zhang Guihou himself galloped in the direction of Xiang Sheng.
Cao Xing led three thousand Bingzhou cavalry, like wild wolves in the prairie, biting in the direction of Xiang Guan.
There are some gaps in the entanglement between the two sides. The white horse cavalry led by Zhang Guihou crashed into the formation of the Western Chu army along the gap between the fighting.
Boom!
Iron hooves trample them, and long branches fly.
The white horse cavalrymen and horses merged into one, and their energy gathered together to form the shape of a galloping horse. Wherever they went, the battle formation of the Western Chu army shattered like tofu.
There are only a thousand white horse cavalry, and their strength cannot be compared with the Overlord cavalry.
But the enemies Zhang Guihou faced were the soldiers of the Western Chu who had been fighting for a long time and were exhausted and could no longer maintain the military formation. The Overlord Cavalry faced the trapped camp and the Huai army formation that had been well prepared.
The opponents faced by both sides are different, and the results are naturally different.
Zhang Guihou led the white horse cavalry into the Western Chu army, just like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and like the crashing waves cutting through the waves.
In Xiang Sheng's eyes of shock and anger and his unwilling roar. Thunder and lightning flashed through the Western Chu army's defense line in an instant.
Uh-huh!
Zhang Guihou gathered the power of the White Horse Army Formation, clouds, wind and thunder surged out from above the sky spirit, and suddenly stabbed out the long spear. In an instant, the long spear came to Xiang Sheng's eyes.
Xiang Sheng's eyes went dark for a moment, and then his ears received the vibrating roar of the void.
next moment.
He fell into deep darkness.
In the eyes of Zhang Guiba from a distance, the cavalry led by his brothers looked like peerless sharp blades, directly breaking through all obstacles and reaching the bottom of the enemy's banner. In just a moment, the enemy general was killed in formation.
It can be said that thousands of armies can overcome difficulties.
