The fierce and arduous fighting on the battlefield continues.

The foot soldiers of the two sides attacked and defended, just like two wild bulls wrestling on the field, although they were fighting all over their bodies, they were unwilling to take a step back, because everyone knew that it might be because of this step back that led to being disemboweled by the opponent's horns at the next moment.

The ground under the feet of the soldiers had been stained red with blood, and the corpses of countless soldiers on both sides had fallen before and after, but the stalemate battle continued, and the soldiers and horses of Sanhe and Guanzhong who launched an ambush were like waves, wave after wave, launching fierce attacks without stopping.

The Hebei army, which was forced to compress the formation, also broke out with strong resilience, although they were once squeezed back again and again, but in the subsequent battle, they quickly re-stabilized their positions, and the successive soldiers made the wavering formation tend to be stable, and even pushed back in a few places, and finally formed a stalemate with staggered teeth.

During this time, the arrows were sparse and dense, and they never stopped for a moment.

Although Cao Yuan on the chariot was a little surprised by the tenacity of the Hebei army in ambush, he still quickly issued an order for the cavalry to attack, preparing to use the charging cavalry to attack the Hebei soldiers who were still fighting and breaking the deadlock in one fell swoop.

"Blow the trumpet and let the cavalry of the various divisions attack!"

Cao Yuan gave an order, with the sound of the horn in front of his formation, soon the main general in the formation of more than two zhang of the banner also began to wave left and right, the other attacking Sanhe soldiers also sounded the horn of the cavalry attack, the rumbling horses' hooves sounded, the cavalry ready to go galloped like a dragon, led by Zhang Liao, Bao Chu, Xu Bugen and other Hu Han generals, raised smoke and dust and went straight to the Hebei army formation.

In the Hebei army formation.

"Fool, go up on top, the enemy's cavalry is coming!"

"Archer, adjust the direction, put!"

"Quick, get closer, stick the spear into the ground, quick!"

Seeing that the enemy's cavalry was preparing to rush in through these gaps in the infantry fighting, the generals who gave the order had a blank look on their faces, and hurriedly wanted to draw some of their troops from the bloody infantry to resist the enemy's cavalry.

However, the enemy cavalry attacked too quickly, and these resisting foot soldiers had not yet formed a strong formation, and when they inserted spears, they had already been trampled by the cavalry who were the first to rush in.

Seeing that his own infantry was being trampled by the enemy cavalry, the formation once again became chaotic, and there was a tendency to collapse rapidly, the main general Chun Yuqiong hesitated, and finally ordered the cavalry who were resting to launch a counter-charge and drive out the enemy cavalry that broke into the formation again.

After winning the order, this time he did not have too many emotional waves in his heart, but there was a kind of tragedy of a strong man going to the difficulty, the current battle situation has been critical to this extent, if the formation of the foot soldiers is defeated, then the rest of the cavalry is difficult to be alone, only these sudden cavalry are all repelled and driven out, so that the army formation of the foot soldiers is stabilized again, and their Hebei soldiers and horses in ambush can have a chance to survive.

"Rush with me!"

After a short distance of acceleration, he pounced on the enemy cavalry that had broken through his own infantry formation, and the cavalry of the two sides became more tragic in this narrow battlefield.

At present, the cavalry troops on both sides are pressed into the formation to fight, and the follow-up new forces are also constantly replenishing and joining the war group, making the intensity of the battle on the narrow battlefield not decreasing but increasing, and because of the cavalry charge and counter-charge, the cavalry on both sides has become a melee situation of you and me, and I have you, and it has become different from the previous stalemate of dogs.

In front of the Three Rivers Army.

"The Hebei soldiers are already physically exhausted and are about to be unable to support it, and General Chun Yuqiong has already sent out the last few cavalry teams."

Occupying a favorable location and looking at the battlefield, Cao Yuan pointed to an imperceptible battle line and said firmly:

"That's it. The Hebei soldiers are no longer good, and they ordered all departments to step up the attack at all costs! ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Yuan looked back at Ma Chao, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and others who were on standby, and he grinned.

In the battle to capture and merge the state, Yan Xing, who was the lord, personally rushed from Guanzhong to Hedong to sit in the town, remotely controlled the military situation in Taiyuan, Shangdang, Hanoi, and Guanzhong, and sent the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong to support the soldiers and horses of Sanhe.

"I have long heard that the Xiliang Ma family is good at fighting, bravely crowning Xizhou, today's battlefield is fierce, I am willing to watch the martial arts of the kings, the general of our army, lead the iron cavalry, and break the Chunyu Qiongzhong army of the enemy formation in Hebei!"

Hearing Cao Kite's order, everyone from Ma Chao and below was excited to receive the order, and Ma Chao glanced at Cao Kite gratefully, and bowed his head to promise.

Before the war, Ma Chao actively asked for battle, but Zhonglang general Xu Kun unexpectedly lacked a good impression of this young man who forced Li Dao to death, as if Xu Rong's prejudice against Yan Xing in the past, he did not let Ma Chao to stand by under him, Zhang Liao, Bao Chu and other departments also had their own generals and colonels, seeing that Ma Chao was about to be left to besiege Jinyang City, or the main general Cao Yuan gave him a chance to follow him in front of his command and fight in the army.

At this time, after receiving Cao Yuan's general order, Ma Chao and other generals all fought bravely, with the ironclad cavalry as the vanguard, with the remaining cavalry under Cao Yuan's command, to kill the melee battle group, and went straight to the Chun Yuqiong Chinese army, which had no extra troops.

The arrival of this new force was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and under the impact of the ironclad cavalry like a wave, the battle line pointed out by Cao Yuan continued to waver, first a little bit, and then it became a large area, and the wavering of the formation also turned into a rout.

The follow-up cavalry let out a burst of cheers, and then poured into this new gap like a tide, and Chun Yuqiong really could no longer divide his forces to contain this ironclad cavalry that broke into the formation, and could only watch as the infantry of this line was separated, and then drowned in the charge of the enemy cavalry.

The enemy formation is already in danger, but Ma Chao, who led the iron cavalry, did not stop at successfully breaking through the enemy formation and separating the enemy infantry, his goal was the enemy's Chinese army, and the enemy's main general, Chun Yuqiong!

"Follow me!"

After Ma Chao broke through the formation of the enemy's foot soldiers, he looked at the ironclad cavalry who followed him, pointed his spear, and ran towards Chun Yuqiong's general banner first.

Under the banner of the Hebei Army.

Chun Yuqiong saw this strong ironclad cavalry taking advantage of the situation to rush towards his general banner, his face changed slightly, but he still refused to retreat, but stepped up to gather those defeated men and horses, forcing them to move closer to his general banner.

Lu Xiang, Lu Kuang and others, who had already returned to Chun Yuqiong's side, hurriedly admonished:

"General, the enemy cavalry is coming, you have to retreat!"

"Nonsense!" Although Chun Yuqiong's face changed, his voice became more severe, he pointed to the general flag behind him, and shouted loudly:

"If I retreat, then these 30,000 Hebei elite soldiers will also be defeated. All the horses, no one is allowed to retreat, crossbowmen, give me arrows! ”

Chun Yuqiong knew that if he wavered at this time and retreated a little, the struggling and crumbling military formation in front would collapse immediately, so he didn't want to retreat like this anyway, but instead gave up his heart and ordered the remaining crossbowmen to step forward and release arrows.

In this kind of melee situation, it is easy to accidentally injure the soldiers who are still fighting bloodily by firing arrows, but Chun Yuqiong can no longer manage this, relying on the rout men and horses that have just gathered, he will never be able to resist these charging ironclad cavalry, he must stop this wave of fierce impact at all costs.

After the remaining crossbowmen in front of the command were ordered, they stepped forward to fire arrows, these dense arrows caused a lot of damage to the enemy and the enemy who fought intensively and were defenseless in the melee, in addition to the Wuhuan Turquoise cavalry and the Three Rivers cavalry, many of the arrows also suffered casualties, and the ironclad cavalry who bore the brunt of the attack also suffered heavy losses, and the strong crossbow at this distance also caused great damage to the horse armor of the ironclad cavalry.

A number of ironclad cavalrymen who followed Ma Chao were hit by multiple arrows and fell to the ground with a bang, and the offensive was thwarted, and even Ma Chao himself, who was in the lead, was unfortunately injured by an arrow.

Ma Chao was hit by a few arrows in his upper body, but his armor was solid, and these arrows could not cause him fatal injuries, but the calf across the horse was pierced by a crossbow arrow, which made Ma Chao have to slow down the horse painfully.

The cavalry behind him quickly rushed over, and when Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and others saw that their brother was hit hard, they couldn't help but want to help them, but Ma Chao's face was cold, and he roared loudly:

"Leave me alone, take that enemy general's flag, and we will win this battle!"

After speaking, Ma Chao personally cut off the shaft of the arrow, and tore off the wound on his calf from his clothes, and then gritted his teeth, and once again rode his horse in the direction of Chun Yuqiong's flag.

Inspired by Ma Chao's wounded battle, the cavalry around them were all indignant, they shouted and rushed into the enemy's middle army, using the weapons in their hands to slash wildly, it only took a moment to defeat the original army of the disheartened enemy army again, and the enemy generals such as Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang who were ordered to resist also died in the chaos of the army, and the rest of the terrified enemy troops saw this and ran away in all directions.
