The earth-shattering shouts of killing resounded in the southern mountain range, and Hua Ye didn't even listen to those sounds, and the eyes of his main general were always fixed on the foot of the southern mountain when the soldiers and horses pursued forward. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Just as the dense forest at the foot of the mountain suddenly startled a large number of birds, and billowing smoke and dust rose through the trees, he had already reined in the reins and commanded to the right and left: "Detour, detour, there are a large number of enemies in the south!" ”

This is really the line between life and death, and for soldiers and horses of their size, once they cross the line, most of them will be finished.

If they were like their enemies, they were still at the level of the Han army during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the safe distance from Tongguan was only 9,000 steps, and it would be difficult to save their lives even if the Tongguan army came out in battle when they were more than 9,000 steps.

For them, the distance can be farther, but not too much.

Even Hua Ye, who commanded two thousand Liang King Gu Mounted Horses, two thousand heavy soldiers and one thousand light soldiers, did not dare to be too arrogant at this safe distance.

No matter how strong the mounted iron cavalry is, they are only human beings and not gods, and even the mounted iron cavalry and heavy foot soldiers have their own shortcomings...... A long run on such a battlefield is tantamount to death.

When people are sleepy, the fate that awaits them is death.

But it's okay!

Hua Ye secretly clenched his fists, and finally lured the enemy out!

In the mountains and forests to the south, a large group of soldiers and horses is prominent at this moment, and it can be roughly seen that there are two formations of soldiers and horses, one in the east and the other in the west, separated by a distance of nearly five miles.

Hua Ye's brows furrowed, this timing and the deployment of soldiers and horses can reflect the ability of the enemy general...... He's a master!

The position of the two soldiers and horses rushing out of the dense forest is not tricky! The troops and horses on the left were marching quickly towards the north bank, in order to block his retreat to the west, while the soldiers and horses on the right side of the east were the real killer and were charging towards his deployment.

This means that I don't want to return to Tongguan no matter what!

"Good time!" Hua Ye snorted lightly, turned his head and shouted: "The infantry is scattered in three formations, protect the heavy crossbow in the middle, block the enemy army, and the iron cavalry will follow me and smash the enemy line!" ”

Among the soldiers and horses of Hua's father and son, there are many Qiang people from Liangzhou and Hu people from Saibei in Bingzhou, and they are all natural riders! As Hua Ye shouted, the alien iron cavalry with strange whistles in their mouths followed the main general and roared out!

Hua Ye's target was the strongest front of the thousands of soldiers and horses wearing a full set of Luoyang Shaofu armor to block the road in the west.

Break head-on!

The heavily armored iron cavalry of the Liang Kingdom was no longer afraid of the infantry line armed with spears as early as ten years ago, and now the armored iron cavalry is even better, and under the leadership of Hua Ye, it even has to break through the hordes of infantry lines head-on!

The regular army equipment of the Han Empire has always been specially set up to fight cavalry.

Whether it is the ring-headed knife used to cut off the leg of a horse and chop through the bronze armor, or the infantry spear and Tiege war halberd that exceed a foot of a zhang, they are all to fight against the powerful nomads of the north.

If there are only foot soldiers on the battlefield in this world, then everyone only needs to hold a short sword to achieve the goal of killing the enemy, so why do you need to make so many terrible weapons?

Zhang Liao's face on the hill was full of fanaticism, and even his snort was already as heavy as a cow's gasp, as long as these two soldiers and horses surrounded this 'most elite iron cavalry' of the Liang Kingdom, even if it was worth paying more than 6,000 casualties!

The closed gate of Tongguan is about to be opened, right?

The focus of the entire battlefield is on the battlefield where more than 10,000 people are fighting in the wilderness, and Zhang Liao has already sent nearly 5,000 soldiers to die before that, and they have touched the southernmost city wall of Tongguan...... At that time, even if tens of thousands of defenders leave the city, will they be the opponents of the imperial court soldiers and horses in this wilderness?

Prime Minister Cao's deployment is not only his own 30,000 horses, but at a position of fifty miles, the Xiahou brothers and Yu Ban are also leading a large group of men and horses waiting for the signal here, as long as Tongguan passes, the court will win this war!

Suddenly, Zhang Liao's fanatical face stiffened, his eyes widened and he looked at the battlefield with an incredulous expression, what did he see?

The cavalry, which numbered less than 3,000, was going to charge from the front facing the infantry of 5,000?

Could it be that Hua Xiong is crazy?

That's five thousand zhang five spears stacked on top of each other, even if the cavalry of the Liang Kingdom is as fierce as a tiger, aren't they afraid of death?

How stupid is that!

But Zhang Liao didn't laugh, he just quietly removed his scarf and clamped it under his armpit, and looked at the cavalry who were charging bravely with compassion.

Fearless in the face of heavy gun formations, even if they rushed to the solid infantry formation with a good tactic like this, Zhang Liao would not laugh at them, and resolutely went to the death, which is the greatest virtue of a martial artist.

Zhang Liao thought that he had found the reason why Liang Guo was in a decisive position under the leadership of Ma Yue...... This is a warrior who faces life and death!

A true warrior!

Being able to fight with them is the glory of Zhang Wenyuan, who is also a martial artist!

Zhang Liao was ready to go down the mountain and participate in the battle in person...... Even if he is a general, it can't erase the fact that Zhang Liao is also a martial artist.

But then, there was a scene on the battlefield that stunned him.

Zhang Liao watched the cavalry disperse quickly, projecting the big crossbow carried on its back at a distance of 100 paces from the infantry formation, and at least 2,000 arrows scattered and landed on the flanks of the infantry formation, driving the infantry formation to become more dense, and then ...... Straight on it!

People turn on their backs, is a word used to describe the chaos of people and horses on both sides in the devastating chaotic war, but now...... There are more people on their backs, and fewer horses on their backs!

"How...... How can it be! ”

Zhang Liao watched as the cavalry of nearly three thousand people penetrated into the infantry formation, sharply tearing open the first line, and all the foot soldiers who were hit flew up and down one after another, and the iron cavalry on the horse shot out like a dragon, and in the blink of an eye, they went to the second line of battle.

"This must be the strong armor of the Liang Kingdom, but when the horsepower is exhausted, it will definitely make you wait for hatred in the second line of defense!"

He didn't want the glory of a warrior anymore, and it was obvious that he underestimated the combat power of this army.

The cavalry broke through the first line, and there were three lines of defense behind them to block them, and the more than 2,000 foot soldiers were scattered into three small formations, facing the imperial soldiers and horses rushing out from the east and throwing arrows into the sky in battle, if it was a foot archer, there was a distance of at least two hundred paces between them, and even the foot soldiers with big crossbows were also throwing, and ...... They wind up so fast!

What Zhang Liao didn't know was that Liang Guo, whether he was riding a crossbow or riding a crossbow, had already used a small winch to shoot the arrow, although the strength of the crossbow had decreased, but it made the foot pawn free the power of his legs and waist when winding the crossbow, and he could move and shoot in a way that he had never dared to think of before.

Compared with the two, shooting crossbow arrows with comparable range, the Han army's crossbow needs to be half-lying on the ground and wound with the strength of the whole body to shoot, while the Liangguo infantry can do it while trotting while winding and turning their heads to shoot...... This speed is of course very fast in Zhang Liao's eyes!

After all, he couldn't see how the two armies were wound up at this distance, and he could only see a faint line drawn in the air by pieces of arrows.

This group of foot soldiers, the posture is not like running for their lives!

Zhang Liao just hadn't fought against the Liangguo army, but in terms of experience in the battle formation, he was already a veteran. Whether it is the thieves in Pingyanzhou or the traitors who broke Hanoi, and even the Montenegrin army also participated in the war when they made trouble in Luoyang, counting the battles with the Xianbei people and Liangzhou people in Bingzhou, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are generals on the battlefield, but today's battle with the defenders of Tongguan has made Zhang Liao subvert many of the perceptions of the battlefield.

Can the pursuing cavalry trample the foot soldiers from the front?

Will the crossbowman be able to fight and return during the pursuit?

Can 5,000 men in the plains crush three times as many enemies without relying on terrain?

Zhang Liao frowned tightly, this is just Tongguan, it's Tongguan! Isn't it good to be in Longdu?

The second layer of defense of the foot soldiers was broken, but what made Zhang Liao feel relieved was that the Liangguo cavalry finally suffered casualties, which made him let out a long sigh.

As long as the cavalry falls into an infantry formation, the cavalry that has lost its mobility is just a lamb to the slaughter, and no matter how thick the armor is, there will always be places that cannot be protected.

At the same time, the casualties of the Liangguo Iron Cavalry also made Zhang Liao regain a little confidence, in the final analysis...... His own tactical deployment is correct, but because the information on both sides is not equal, he underestimated the enemy.

As long as the two large formations of soldiers and horses form an encirclement of the enemy next, they will always win, even if it takes more time.

No, it's three formations!

The infantry and cavalry formation, which had only more than 3,000 left in the previous retreat, had also regrouped, and after seeing the reinforcements, they turned back and killed the past without hesitation.

Three Liang State infantry formations composed of hundreds of people fought and retreated, with the crossbow and strong bows continued to cause casualties to the Han army's infantry soldiers, and slowly converged with the cavalry that had entered the Han army's infantry formation without hesitation, the Chinese army put away the crossbow when it was three hundred steps away from the cavalry, and followed the cavalry's torn line and pierced into it, while the two infantry formations on both sides bypassed the crazy battlefield of fighting, and changed their targets on both wings, pouring arrows on the Han army's infantry formation.

The Han army panicked, thinking that they would be able to surround the enemy, but the bad news broke out in their hearts one after another, first the cavalry trampled on the front line and smashed straight into the formation. Then it was impossible to stop the cavalry charge.

The battle situation is not as clear as Zhang Liao looks at in the eyes of these Han army foot soldiers, they can't see the Han army formation chasing behind, they only know that the soldiers and horses in front of them were trampled by the enemy's iron cavalry and suffered heavy losses, and there were Liangguo foot soldiers who kept throwing arrows on both sides...... They are surrounded!

Zhang Liao clenched his fists tightly, and his inner voice was almost roaring, you must not chase the foot soldiers on both sides!

The reinforcements in the rear are coming soon, if the foot soldiers blocking the road are scattered at this time, the Chinese army will inevitably be trampled by the Liang State Iron Cavalry, and the rear foot soldiers will not be able to form an encirclement, and then they can only watch the Liang State soldiers and horses march away!

Zhang Liao's eyes were firmly fixed on the Liangguo Daxu in the battle, as long as the Daxu was still there, it meant that the general guarding Tongguan was dragged in the quagmire of the Han army's foot soldiers and could not get out!

"Surround him, surround him!"
