Looking at the blazing fire, Hou Zan knew that these trebuchets were destroyed, and was thinking about breaking out before the enemy infantry came together, he was not interested in fighting the prepared infantry phalanx head-on, at this moment, the gate of Changzhou opened, and more than a thousand infantry quickly fought out of the city, and rushed straight to the back of the two thousand enemy troops under the city, making this enemy army position a loophole.

"Brothers, follow me and kill it!" Hou Zhan's heart moved, and he immediately found the fighter plane and killed the enemy army under the city.

Pure cavalry can not do much in the face of disciplined infantry, if the nomadic cavalry who is good at cavalry and archery is better, at least they can harass and influence the enemy formation with bows and arrows, and wait until the infantry formation is porous before charging.

However, although Hou Zhan's 800 cavalry is also an elite cavalry, their level of archery on horseback is very limited, and Yang Wuli's linear charging tactics do not advocate archery on horseback, so they can only avoid their edge in the face of the rebels in good formation; But with the support of the Changzhou defenders' infantry out of the city, it was different.

When he found that there was a hole in the formation of the 2,000 enemy troops under the city, Hou Zan gave the order to charge without the slightest hesitation.

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

……

The charge of the cavalry of the brigade always makes people's blood boil, and the reason why Hou Zan likes to fight is also because of this, when he charges on a horse, he can forget everything else, and only has the thought of "rushing over and crushing the enemy" in his heart.

However, although the cavalry were a little enthusiastic, after months of training, they gradually adapted to the way of line charge, and on the fast horses they gradually adjusted their formation into two rows of battle lines, charging at the enemy like two stone walls.

Although the formation of these cavalry was not very strict, they were very densely arranged with each other, and the cavalry swords raised in their hands and pointed to the sky reflected the light in the sunlight, making the already somewhat turbulent infantry formation in front of them even more chaotic.

"Stabilize the formation, don't mess up!"

"Crossbowmen ready, put!"

"Prepare for the onslaught!"

……

In the enemy camp, those officers shouted with all their might, and they also had fear in their hearts, but they knew that if they were in a mess at this time, they would be looking for death.

The rebel soldiers barely managed to hold on, and the archers began to draw their bows and shoot arrows, but they were so frightened that they were so frightened that only a few of the hapless cavalrymen fell off their horses, and by the time they wanted to fire again, it was too late, and the soldiers' faces were full of horror, apparently overwhelmed by the momentum of the cavalry charge.

"Boom!" Eight hundred furious cavalry entered the infantry formation.

Although the 800 cavalry had previously stopped to burn the trebuchet, the 800 cavalry had re-accelerated from a standstill, so that the speed was not as fast as the enemy infantry who had charged the trebuchet before, but they were no less lethal, and they were able to defeat a large number of enemy troops in just a moment of contact, and they did not stop at all, but kept charging forward.

"Stay in formation and follow me out!"

Hou Zhan shouted loudly, he knew that cavalry needed speed to show their power, and if they were entangled by the infantry, then they would be severely damaged in turn.

At this time, they had just entered the enemy formation, but after thirty steps forward, their speed began to slow down, and it was obvious that it was difficult to maintain the impact here.

Following Hou Zhan's order, the cavalry following him quickly turned to kill from the weak place of the enemy's formation, and although the other soldiers could not hear Hou Zhan's shout, they noticed Hou Zhan's thoughts after the center of the line began to turn, so they turned with him.

"Whew, Whew, Whew......"

With the sound of panting, Hou Zan knew that the horse had reached a limit after a period of charging, and it would not be long before the horsepower would drop, but it would still be possible to launch two or three more rounds of charging like the one just now.

It didn't take long for 800 cavalry under the leadership of Hou Zan to kill out of the enemy's infantry formation, and only stopped to turn the horse's head and sort out the formation when they were 100 paces away.

Hou Zan roughly estimated that they had lost about twenty or thirty men in this round of charge just now, which was not a big loss for eight hundred cavalry, and it was even more insignificant compared to the damage they caused to the enemy.

At this time, after a round of charge, the 2,000 enemy infantry was already difficult to maintain the formation, coupled with the impact of the Changzhou defenders, they had already appeared in great confusion, Hou Zan believed that as long as the enemy charged again, the enemy would definitely be scattered.

He turned his head to look at the infantry surrounding Zhang Hao and them, and found that they were still hundreds of paces away, and judging by the speed at which they were slowly advancing in order to maintain their formation, they had enough time to crush the enemy troops in front of them before the enemy encirclement was completed.

After judging the situation, after the formation was adjusted again, Hou Zan launched an attack again.

"Charge forward!"

This time, because the distance of the charge was closer, the speed when they rushed into the enemy formation was smaller, but the closer distance also made their charge formation more tight, and the enemy was already a little frightened after the first round of impact, so this time when the eight hundred cavalry entered, only one of the enemy troops collapsed.

"Full speed ahead and disrupt the enemy formation!"

Hou Zhan's cavalry did not use spears and bows, and their training focused on charging in line and slashing with sabers in their hands, at which time sabers were waved up and down in the hands of the cavalry soldiers, and each fall would bring a rain of blood.

Because this time the enemy formation had been dispersed, so this time they received a lot less resistance, when they broke through the enemy formation for more than forty steps, Hou Zan found that the speed of sitting down the horse did not decrease much, but the panting sound became louder.

However, at this time, he still cares about horsepower, and because the enemy army has been completely defeated, they no longer need to maintain any linear formation, but continue to wield sabers to harvest lives.

At the same time, the defenders of Changzhou saw that the enemy army had collapsed and immediately launched a charge, although the infantry charged with less momentum than the cavalry, but in the face of the enemy army that had little resistance, it also devoured the rebels like a tiger descending from the mountain.

"It's General Hou Zan in front? Dare to ask where the son is? ”

Hou Zan was slashing and slashing, but suddenly heard a loud voice coming from the side, and hurriedly turned his head to look, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Li Yuanjun, I didn't expect you to personally lead the army out of the city to support us!" ”

It turned out that after the enemy used Suzhou artillery to bombard the city wall, Li Yu had personally gone into battle to kill the enemy many times in order to boost morale, and under his leadership, the morale of the defenders was greatly boosted, so he repelled the enemy's attacks again and again.

Previously, they were fighting with the enemy on the city wall, but they suddenly found that the enemy army began to adjust their formation, and the enemy troops who climbed the city wall also began to retreat.

Worried about Yang Wu's safety, Li Yu did not dare to hesitate to lead his troops out of the city to respond, and just happened to see the enemy troops under the city reflexively preparing to besiege Hou Zhan's cavalry, so he launched an attack from behind.
