The momentum of the Yuan army is even more fierce, for the Dingyuan army defending the city, even if they continue to fight with high morale, what they can really do is limited, the situation on the city wall cannot be controlled, and both sides are still pulling.

Yuan Shao waited for a while, thought for a moment, and still didn't let the troops continue to fight.

Because if you continue to fight, as soon as the skill effect fails, for Yuan Jun's soldiers, there will suddenly be a greater physical burden, but sometimes it may even be impossible to evacuate in time, and there will be defeat, and the momentum that was finally fought will be lost.

Although the morale of the defenders of the city has risen a little now, the ferocity of the Yuan army still left a deep impression on them.

At this time, withdrawal is already the best choice.

Yuan Shao actually always felt regret and helplessness in his heart.

Because he found that no matter how hard he worked, he was always forced to choose some of the best choices for himself in the predicament, so it always seemed that he had earned a feeling, but in fact he had been suffering, and now the momentum of the Dingyuan army had risen, and he might have had the opportunity to use this sudden change in strength to catch Tai'an City off guard and let them lose it.

That momentum just now looks like it can be won in a day.

If this is really taken down, it will be a miracle group.

But now you can only give up, how can you say that you have earned it?

And Yuan Shao has also seen the strength of the princes of the world, to be honest, with the strength of the Yuan army he leads now, it may be that Lu Bu and the Xiliang army can suppress themselves, and others, no matter how strong they are, are at most evenly matched with themselves, if they encounter some unimpressive ones, Yuan Shao feels that he can crush them like he crushed the Yellow Turban Army back then.

And just after Yuan Shao saw that his own forces at the head of the city were being strongly suppressed again, he ordered the besieging army to give up the onslaught and return to rest and adjust the team.

At this time, Yuan Shao's foresight paid off.

Wen Chou, who retreated with the cavalry to guard against the rear attack, happened to bump into Xu Huang, who came down from the stronghold on Mount Tai to support Tai'an City after observing the attack on Tai'an City from a distance.

The tip of the spear in Wen Chou's hand was facing the side downward, staring at Xu Huang who was holding a pair of big axes in front of him.

Behind him were tens of thousands of cavalry, and behind Xu Huang were tens of thousands of Dingyuan army foot soldiers.

If you really want to fight desperately, then the cavalry led by Wen Chou should be able to defeat the current Dingyuan army.

But Wen Chou didn't dare to waste all his troops on Xu Huang now.

Because the tens of thousands of cavalry behind him are the only part of the special cavalry corps that the Yuan army is dealing with Liu Bei's army today, if you fight off half of these cavalry here now, then there will be no chance to fight back when facing Liu Bei in the future.

So he wanted to carry out Yuan Shao's order and force Xu Huang and them back.

But he didn't expect Xu Huang to retreat in time under such an obvious unfavorable situation, but confronted himself on the wide plain.

It seems that the tens of thousands of soldiers behind him are also cavalry of the same strength, according to the assessment of strength, not to mention the victory or defeat of Wen Chou and Xu Huang, if the two armies are only attacked, the battle loss ratio may reach the level of four to one or even seven or eight to one.

Because the restraint of the cavalry on the plains for foot soldiers is too strong, not to mention that in fact, most of the teams in Xu Huang's hands are actually the Qingshan Army, and the Qingshan Army is almost invincible in the mountains and forests, but when it comes to the plains, they are ordinary foot soldiers, and even because they have stayed in the mountains and forests for a long time, they may have a certain degree of discomfort for the plain combat.

Neither side spoke, and they just happened to face each other across a stream, and the Dingyuan army behind Xu Huang had already set up the shield array and was ready for it.

They understood that if they didn't rescue Tai'an City and reduce the pressure on defending the city, Tai'an City might fall under Yuan Shao's crazy siege formation.

After all, Tai'an City is not a big city, and there are no many defensive armaments or anything.

Although Xu Huang said that he had a good feeling and impression of Xu Shu, and he also knew his strength, he was still worried that he would not be able to hold on under Yuan Shao's offensive, after all, he knew Xu Shu, Xu Shu was a genius with mature thinking and strong theory, but in terms of actual combat experience, Xu Shu may be close to zero, and more of his experience and knowledge are obtained from books, and his opponent, Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu, although Yuan Benchu sometimes always makes some decisions that are not atmospheric, but judging from Yuan Shao's achievements and performances along the way.

Yuan Shao is still one of the better generals in the Han Dynasty, and his military talent is undeniable.

And Xu Huang even felt that Yuan Shao's military command ability would not be inferior to himself, after all, when the princes were fighting Dong, Yuan Shao led the team to withstand the pressure of Lu Bu on the battlefield in Hanoi, and was able to force back Lu Bu, who was invincible when he fought with other princes before, which is enough to explain Yuan Shao's military strength.

Even if he relied more on the talents of his generals and strategists, his own decisive ability was still worthy of praise.

With this kind of opponent who can be called a hero, Xu Shu may have some flaws if he doesn't have enough actual combat experience.

This is what Xu Huang is most afraid of.

Neither army said a word, they just stood still across a small stream, but they were ready to go to war at any moment.

Perhaps we can lead them to the vicinity of Mount Tai for another battle, the distance here should be enough to fight and not be harvested by the cavalry, as long as they retreat steadily.

Xu Huang made up his mind in his heart, and wanted to slowly retreat with the team and lead Wen Chou's cavalry team to Mount Tai, but after retreating for nearly half a mile, he found that Wen Chou and they had no intention of moving their nests, so they watched them move so quietly, and they didn't even let go of arrows.

Damn it......

Xu Huang waved the axe in his hand.

Now Xu Shu's layout should be countered to some extent.

Wen Chou blocked here, he retreated and he didn't follow up, if he wanted to go around, the mobility of the cavalry could easily catch up, then he was a pillar, standing there, strictly prohibiting Xu Huang from advancing.

In addition to opening up this road through battle, Xu Huang has no other choice, but once the battle is fought, his own casualties are definitely not small, and when the time comes, he may even break through the blockade of Wenchou, and his own strength to support Tai'an is also insufficient, which is really difficult to do, and the defense of Tai'an City may really have to rely on Xu Shu and the more than 10,000 Dingyuan troops and other militias in the city.

Xu Huang hesitated, this was his rare decision-making hesitation, he was now in a dilemma, he could only look back at the soldiers behind him, but found that their eyes did not have such hesitation as himself, on the contrary, their eyes were firm and clear, there was no fear of difficulties, on the contrary, only the desire and confidence to fight.

What if the opponent is strong?

After the Dingyuan Army became an army, it has not proved itself with a real tough battle.

Like the Taihang Black Cavalry, the White Horse Army, the Brave Army, the Yangwu Army, etc., these armies that were established earlier than the Dingyuan Army all have their own battles of honor and represent battles that belong to them.

Which of these battles is not remembered because it was a tough battle?

They are not afraid of the hardships of battle, they only fear that there is no way to prove themselves for their army.

Xu Huang was stunned.

In fact, after he became a general under Liu Bei, he always felt that the combat effectiveness of Liu Bei's army was much stronger than that of other princes, but he used to attribute it to the factors of his own well-trained and high-quality soldiers, but now he suddenly realized the reason why these armies can really burst out with unimaginably powerful combat effectiveness when fighting.

Perhaps it is a problem with the military system.

From the very beginning, Liu Bei Group has its own perspective on the appointment and selection of generals, and basically Mr. Xiao Chen has discussed and decided with Xuande Gong, so after the appointment, Xuande Gong will give a very high degree of trust.

And under Mr. Xiao Chen's suggestion to Xuan Degong, all armies are actually formed and trained around the core of the army building generals, and these armies will have a higher sense of self-identity and collective honor because of the main generals.

For example, a member of the Taihang Black Cavalry, if someone asks about his identity, he will definitely proudly say that he is the Taihang Black Cavalry under General Zhang Fei, not the cavalry under the Xuande Public Account.

The decentralization of the army proposed by Mr. Xiao Chen allows the army to fight with a certain driving force to fight for itself, and when people fight for their own honor and interests, they can always burst out with amazing strength.

And if people are only fighting for a job and fighting for the interests of others, they are always more likely to think more about their own interests, so that they are tied to save their lives when fighting.

Now that his soldiers are ready, what is there to hesitate about?

Xu Huang thought clearly.

If you don't attack and keep guarding Mount Tai, in addition to being able to retain the strength of more than 10,000 soldiers, it will not play any role in this war at all.

It's better not to leave the city at all, and now it's better to help defend the city in the city.

Since this is the case, then he must advance, he must fight, and he must attract more troops of Yuan's army to reduce the pressure of the defenders of Tai'an City.

"Circle the formation, raise the shield and move forward!"

Xu Huang gave a direct order on the horse, he didn't need to say that he wanted to fight at all, this order was already the meaning of advancing and killing the enemy.

"No!"

The response of junior officers to Xu Huang's order resounded in different parts of the army.

The Dingyuan army quickly adjusted the formation, with swords and shields lined up outside, bows and crossbows included, and spears hidden behind shields to give pressure on the cavalry to charge into formation, and they adjusted their positions well-trained, surrounded Xu Huang in the center of the formation, and began to move towards the opposite bank of the stream.

"Really? The famous Xu Gongming will not be able to see the situation clearly. ”

Wen Chou snorted, even if the Dingyuan army had formed a circle formation, Wen Chou didn't think that they could use this clumsy infantry and archery formation to break through his more than 10,000 cavalry.

"Then come on, I just don't know where to spread the anger in my stomach."

Wen Chou muttered to himself.

Now in his heart, all the generals of Liu Bei's camp are on his must-kill list, and he wants revenge and be a frank and unrestrained avenger.

This journey of revenge starts with Xu Huang!

"Get moving, give them some color!"

Wen Chou did not directly lead his team to collide with Xu Huang face to face, because their distance was not too far, he had to let the advantages of the cavalry come into play, and then charge the battle at a sufficient distance to be able to give full play to the momentum advantage of the cavalry.

After Xu Huang watched Wen Chou lead the team away from him, he also understood what he was going to do, and the older Xu had also led a large group of cavalry.

"Change formation!"

"The front top of the sword and shield, the front row of the contraction, the spear in front of the gun, the side row of oblique stabs, the bow and crossbow shoot flat, and the edge of the arrow formation."

Xu Huang's command is in place, and there is no slightest panic and anxiety, which can be seen by his experience.

When facing the cavalry charge, the general's formation becomes a sharp arrow, which can reduce the frontal impact range of the opponent's cavalry, and the cavalry passing from the side will also lose the opportunity to attack due to the spearmen's stabbing attack.

It's just that this kind of change of formation already means that the soldiers at the front end of the formation, that is, the sharp arrows of the front arrow formation, are almost either dead or injured, and this kind of injury is bound to be a major injury.

Because they have to withstand the maximum force of the impact, they may even have to use their bodies as a buffer for the other shields behind them to alleviate the terrible force.

The blue light on Wen Chou's body lit up, and his military formation skills began to take effect, although it was not said to be extremely powerful, but the light cavalry after the bonus also rushed out of a kind of heavy cavalry momentum, and the combination of speed and strength was just coming head-on.

Xu Huang hung his heart, he didn't know how strong the strengthened Yuan army was, and he didn't know if the soldiers of the Dingyuan army could withstand their impact.

He has to choose to believe in his soldiers, in their strength, in their determination.

"Kill!"

Wen Chou took the lead in rushing into battle, and he faced the formation defense that the Dingyuan Army had already prepared, and he did not have any hesitation or fear, but was even more excited.

The horses' hooves trampled on the shallow stream, splashing muddy water and sticking to the legs of the horses around them.

After a while, the shallow stream was no longer clear and transparent, but it was not muddy because it had been trampled by a large number of people.

It turned blood-red.

It became the color of death and pain.

As soon as Wen Chou raised his horse's head, the spear in his hand continued to stab, hitting the body of the Dingyuan sergeant through the gap in the shield, and his BMW stepped on the shield.

With just one impact, the blade part of the Blade Array was directly rushed away.

Fortunately, the advantage of this long formation is that after the head is rushed away, there can still be someone in the rear who can top up.

At the moment when the two armies collided, the man turned on his horse, and even there was a brief blood mist at the head of this small military formation, and the sound of swords and guns in contact with the flesh was the only main theme, accompanied by the neighing of horses, the wailing of people, and the sound of bodies falling on the ground and streams.

At this moment, it seems that life is worthless.

In this wilderness, a scene similar to that on the walls of Taean Castle took place, and death enveloped the entire battlefield.

Xu Huang raised his double axe, staring at Wen Chou, who was constantly killing and wounding his soldiers in front of his own army, and he drove his horse to let the soldiers make a way for him.

He wanted to behead Wen Chou under his horse, and he did it, and the enemy army collapsed without attacking!

The decisive battle of Tarzan, this is only the beginning, not the end.
