Of the 50,000 troops, the number of sword and shield soldiers is less than one-fifth.

Most of them were pikemen and swordsmen.

These pikemen still have some combat power, and the combat power of those sword soldiers is not very good. was shot by an arrow from Liu Zheng's side, and immediately fell to the ground and died, and a small number of those who were not killed were unable to continue fighting, so they could only stop the charge.

Coupled with the charge of the 50,000 army, the number of people is too dense, and the shooting of the arrows on Liu Zheng's side can be directly hit without even needing any aiming.

After three rounds of shooting, Liu Zheng's side had already caused thousands of casualties to those Jiaozhou soldiers and horses.

However, compared to the 50,000 army, the deaths and injuries of thousands of people were nothing, but made these Jiaozhou soldiers rush towards Liu Zheng's army even more bloodily.

The soldiers of the two sides collided at this moment.

Liu Zheng looked at the Jiaozhou soldiers who swooped over from a distance, and his body was also boiling at this time.

For him, it was a few-to-many battle, a battle that he rarely experienced.

Most of the battles he fought were more against less, and very few were less against many, after all, he was the Yellow Turban Army before, and the biggest feature of the Yellow Turban Army was that there were many people.

Once he encounters an opponent who is equal to himself, the victory rate of the Yellow Turban Army is not high, but now it is different, and now these soldiers and horses under his command can be said to belong to very few of the Yellow Turban Army, most of them are his restructured people, and the strength of these people is much stronger than the previous Yellow Turban Army.

They are all the elites he selected from the previous Yellow Turban Army, which can be said to be the elite of the elite, not to mention one fight ten, at least much stronger than these soldiers and horses under Zhu Fu at this time.

Therefore, when the soldiers and horses of the two sides fought, it immediately presented a one-sided situation, although Liu Zheng's side occupied a great disadvantage in numbers, but his side of the soldiers and horses were well-trained, arranged in formation, and had all kinds of equipment, and the tacit cooperation between each other could be reflected in the battle.

The sword and shield soldiers are only responsible for defense, rarely attacking, and the shield is blocked in front of the body with the body on the wooden shield inlaid with some iron blocks to strengthen it, which can greatly block the attack of these Jiaozhou soldiers and horses.

Behind the shield of the sword and shield soldier, the pikeman uses a spear more than three meters long in his hand to pierce through the gap between the sword and shield hands.

Those close enemy soldiers were hit by the spears that came out of these holes, one shot into the chest, and then instantly withdrawn, only a hole in the chest, so great damage that it was simply a one-shot kill.

In addition, with the sword and shield hand in front, the archers behind Liu Zheng could shoot unscrupulously, and at this time, they only needed to shoot out of the front of their own phalanx.

The battle went on like this, and Liu Zheng and his generals had been directing the battle.

At the time of about a cup of tea. The phalanx of the three thousand sword and shield soldiers in front of Liu Zheng was finally broken by these Jiaozhou soldiers and horses.

Liu Zheng finally understood that he needed to send these soldiers and horses in the rear again.

"Zhou Dynasty, Xu Huang, let's go up together and kill these Jiaozhou thieves!"

The 2,000 cavalry that had been used by Liu Zheng as a killer weapon had not been dispatched in the previous battle, mainly because the cavalry could not be taken out until the end.

This is the killer feature, and it will not be dispatched easily.

Just like Liu Zheng used to fight landlords in his previous life, no one could beat the two kings at the beginning.

They are all used as hole cards, used to deter the opponent and reverse the defeat at the last critical moment.

This is the case now, the three thousand sword and shield men in front have been broken, and more than half of the sword and shield hands have been killed and wounded. Immediately, the momentum on Liu Zheng's side began to decline a little, and the morale of the Jiaozhou soldiers and horses increased because they broke through Liu Zheng's defense.

This was not what he wanted to see. In order to save the momentum that began to fall, it was necessary for the cavalry to show their hands at this time.

He asked Xu Huang to attack, that is, he ordered Xu Huang to lead two thousand cavalry to attack from the flank, like a sharp blade stabbing through the military formation of Jiaozhou soldiers and horses, tearing a hole in the middle, so that the Jiaozhou soldiers and horses in front and behind were overwhelmed, and could not convey the commander's order.

As soon as the cavalry struck, the sound of horses' hooves was immediately heard on the battlefield.

Liu Zheng rode a war horse and Xu Huang together and rushed out from the flank. He had to lead by example and charge into battle to give Zhu Fu a heavy blow.

Although Liu Zheng is no longer the little soldier he was at the beginning, he doesn't need to charge and kill the enemy by himself. But every time the two armies are at war. Liu Zheng's heart was filled with blood and wanted to go to the battlefield to fight.

There had been no chance before, but now in this battle outside Hepu City, he found an opportunity, drew a spear, and rushed out across his horse.

Xu Huang was worried about his safety, and kept following him not far away, answering him with each other.

The galloping sound of the cavalry was like thunder, and the two thousand war horses galloped outside the city of Hepu, causing a shock, which made those Jiaozhou soldiers who had never seen the power of cavalry immediately have a trace of fear in their hearts, especially those Jiaozhou soldiers who experienced the battle of Wuyangling at the beginning.

As soon as he saw the cavalry appear, he immediately panicked, and his legs, which were constantly charging forward, began to tremble and stopped.

"Cavalry! The cavalry is coming, run! ”

I don't know who shouted, and someone on the side of the Jiaozhou soldiers immediately dropped their weapons and ran back.

However, at this time, only a small number of people fled for their lives, because most of them did not know the strength of the cavalry.

Those people were not demoralized by this small group of people, and they were still constantly rushing towards Liu Zhengjun.

But when the soldiers and horses on the Jiaozhou side and the cavalry on Liu Zheng's side officially fought, after those soldiers and horses were trampled by the cavalry's hooves, they fell down in rows, and the knights on the war horses pierced their chests with spears and shots, and more and more soldiers fell.

These Jiaozhou soldiers finally realized that the cavalry was really a war machine, fighting on the plains, it was simply a sweep, and it was even more slaughtering in the face of the infantry.

In the blink of an eye, a single charge of two thousand cavalry killed thousands of soldiers and horses.

The soldiers and horses on the Jiaozhou side, when they started to charge, lost nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses because of the phalanx on Liu Zheng's side.

Now that the cavalry on Liu Zheng's side appeared, the morale of the Jiaozhou soldiers plummeted, and the casualties further increased.

Naturally, the morale of the battle became more and more miserable.

Morale is a very mysterious thing, once it starts to fall, it is difficult to recover, and once the soldiers and horses flee, it is like a domino, fleeing in pieces.

The defeat was like a mountain.

Although Liu Yan's 50,000 troops died in the battle, only more than 10,000 people died, but the rest of the people were frightened by the momentum of the cavalry and did not dare to continue the attack at all.
