"Kill"

"Ahh

In the open space three miles away from Liangkou Town, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the two armies fought fiercely together.

"Boom~"

"Rush with me! Chisel through them for me! ”

On the battlefield of fierce fighting, He Batsheng brandished a spear in his hand, sat on his crotch on a war horse, and rushed forward to kill.

Behind him, 2,000 armored cavalry followed closely behind him with heavy steps, forming a cone formation and rushing towards the infantry formation in front.

In front of the charging ironclad cavalry, columns of soldiers in leather armor held spears, densely packed into rows of spears, hunting with banners, and hundreds of infantry phalanxes formed by tens of thousands of people gathered densely in front.

However, at this time, under the huge impact of the ironclad cavalry, the infantry gun array in the front row was constantly squeezed and scattered, and countless pikemen fell under the impact of the ironclad cavalry for the first time.

"Fin your wings! Stop them! ”

At the rear of the infantry phalanx, under the banner of the dancing general, Zhang Wenhuan looked calm, and ordered to the heralds beside him with a serious face.

"Knock knock! Knock knock! ”

"Flanks folded, attack!"

The war drums sounded, and the order was quickly passed down, and the 4,000 infantry on both flanks of the infantry quickly closed in the middle, trying to trap the 2,000 armored cavalry that had broken through in one fell swoop.

In this battle, in order to plunder the entire Jumei County as soon as possible, Zhang Wenhuan first led his troops to capture Nanling and other border towns, and then gathered 40,000 troops two days ago to prepare to attack Liangkou Town, but encountered the obstruction of the Yangwu Army cavalry.

It was the 4,000 armored cavalry and 6,000 mercenary cavalry led by He Batyun and He Batsheng brothers, as well as the 10,000 Xianbei cavalry allocated by Hu Luguang.

20,000 cavalry took up a position outside the two towns, exuding an aggressive voice.

In the face of such a cavalry cluster of 20,000 people, Zhang Wenhuan naturally did not dare to move, except for the initial two small-scale trials of hundreds of people, the two armies could only confront each other for one day.

However, it was not until Sunday that he received news from Qu Cheng about the Yangwu Army's steppe cavalry detouring to the rear, that Zhang Wenhuan had to muster up the courage to take the initiative to fight.

After a day of fighting, after paying more than 3,000 casualties, Zhang Wenhuan's army was still firmly blocked here, and the armored cavalry under He Bayun also lost hundreds of armored cavalry and thousands of mercenary cavalry.

Cavalry vs. infantry, in front of Zhang Wenhuan, a veteran of the battlefield, the brothers He Batyun and He Batsheng did not have an advantage.

However, it also stopped its progress.

Looking at the advancing black armored cavalry formation on the battlefield, Zhang Wenhuan's face was extremely solemn, and the combat effectiveness of the armored cavalry of the Yangwu army on the opposite side was too strong.

In front of the armored cavalry, who even wrapped their men and horses in super heavy armor, the role of their own spear formation was too limited, and the light arrows of the archers could not cause the slightest damage to them.

The galloping armored cavalry directly crushed the fragile light infantry gun formation, and countless dead and wounded were trampled and rammed, which could only be filled by the depth of the army formation and the lives of the soldiers.

"Attack!"

"Woo Woo Woo ~ "

"Ahh~"

When the armored cavalry in front launched a charge, the 10,000 Xianbei cavalry on both wings also launched at the same time, and the rain of arrows covered Zhang Wenhuan's army at the same time, bringing countless screams.

As the armies on both wings were withdrawn, the soldiers who were encircling and suppressing the armored cavalry were directly exposed to the arrow rain of the Xianbei cavalry.

"Tell the reserves to press!"

Seeing this, Zhang Wenhuan hurriedly lined up the reserve team on standby in the rear, and in order to deal with these steppe cavalry, he specially prepared light shield hands as a precaution.

However, under the sharp Xianbei cavalry, the round shield in the hands of the light shield bearers could not cover all of them, and from time to time soldiers fell under their arrows.

"Report! General, Jiang Qianhu is killed! ”

"Report! Commander Commander Yue asks for support! ”

。。。。。。

The entire battlefield was like a huge meat grinder, and countless Yangwu army cavalry and Zhang Wenhuan army soldiers continued to rise one after another.

The battle situation in front of him kept coming, looking at the countless soldiers who died tragically under the armored horse, Zhang Wenhuan clenched his fists tightly.

These 40,000 soldiers were all the most elite soldiers under Kong Youde, but they died worthless here at this time.

Thinking of a large number of Xianbei in the future, Zhang Wenhuan already had a bad premonition in his heart.

"General! The battle is too tragic, and if we continue to fight, even if we win, we may not be able to advance. The road leading to the territory of Jumei County is not only these two towns, it is not cost-effective to fight with infantry and cavalry here, we might as well bypass the two towns and attack the hinterland of Jumei County."

The generals on both sides frowned at the tragic fighting, watching the elite soldiers fall in pieces, and the deputy general next to Zhang Wenhuan admonished him.

For this, the other generals under Zhang Wenhuan were also puzzled.

"A detour? The enemy's 20,000 cavalry lined up in front of our formation, and 20,000 cavalry have detoured behind us, this is the battlefield that the other party has long set for us, when we led the troops out of Baiping Town, we were already destined to have no way to retreat, only to fight to the death, if we can repel this cavalry here or there is a way to retreat, if we are defeated, tens of thousands of troops will be wiped out here! ”

Hearing this, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Wenhuan's mouth, and he shook his head and said to the deputy general beside him.

The area from Baiping Town to Liangkou Town is flat and the terrain is open, which is a rare area suitable for cavalry combat in the entire upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

This is obviously a trap, a battlefield that the Yangwu Army has carefully prepared for them.

The 20,000 cavalry here, plus the 20,000 cavalry that had already circled behind, now appeared in their field of vision to 40,000 cavalry, what a powerful force. With the speed of cavalry, if the Yangwu army wanted to support Baiping, Nanling, Gufeng and other towns, how could Zhang Wenhuan's army be able to take these towns so easily.

Here, in the face of the 20,000 elite cavalry who are ready to attack, under the bold retreat, the army is likely to be taken advantage of by the other side, and once the war is unfavorable, tens of thousands of troops will become the target of the enemy cavalry.

The purpose of the Yangwu Army is nothing more than to introduce them here, and to swallow these tens of thousands of troops in one bite.

"Liu Xuanchu misunderstood me!"

The thought that he had brought the army into such a predicament made Zhang Wenhuan's heart feel as uncomfortable as a pinprick, and the root cause of all this was the wrong information provided by Liu Xuanchu.

With such a large-scale cavalry movement on the other side, how could it be concealed from the spies' detection.

There are only two situations in this situation, either Liu Xuanchu has defected, or even he has been deceived by the Yangwu army.

Zhang Wenhuan's heart was more inclined to believe in the latter possibility, and with his understanding of Liu Xuanchu, the possibility of rebellion was extremely low.

It seems that Liu Xuanchu's plan can go so smoothly, and it is very likely that it is the result of Yang Wujun fueling the flames behind.

"Is this a trap for the other party?"

Deputy General Zhang Wenhuan and all the generals in the army understood the meaning of his words, and they all looked shocked and said with a look of panic.

Zhang Wenhuan was silent when he heard this, but the expression on his face completely confirmed this fact, and for a moment the entire command camp fell silent, and all the officers silently watched the battlefield that was being fought in front of them.

This will be their last hope!

The battle between the two armies on the battlefield has entered a white-hot stage, He Batsheng led the armored cavalry to continue to rush left and right, and the Xianbei cavalry on both wings also began to attack Zhang Wenhuan's army after a few rounds of shooting, and under the three-way impact, the phalanx of 40,000 elite infantry was defeated and retreated, and could only rely on constantly filling the manpower to stabilize the formation.

On the battlefield, the shouts of killing resounded all over the world, and the most cruel and violent side of the war was naked in front of everyone's eyes.

The fierce fighting continued for several hours, and when night fell again, the two armies had to stop, and each silently retreated back to the camp.

After a day of fighting, the two armies fought evenly here, and neither took advantage.

Zhang Wenhuan's army was killed and wounded more than 6,000 people, and the cavalry of the Yangwu army also lost more than 3,000 combat strength.

"Pedal Pedal ~"

"Report! General, Baiping Town is in an emergency! Yesterday, the cavalry of the Yangwu Army and the southern battalion of the Navy Division attacked Shimen Town, and the water division and defenders who stayed in Shimen Town were all annihilated, and General Qu Cheng of Baiping Town was also ambushed by the cavalry of the Yangwu Army on the way to support the troops, and the 4000 army was annihilated, and General Qu Cheng was defeated and captured! ”

As soon as the battle ended, just as Zhang Wenhuan commanded the army to return to the camp, a herald ordered the cavalry to gallop quickly from the south and came to him to report.

"Poof!"

After the fierce battle, Zhang Wenhuan, who was already exhausted, suddenly couldn't suppress the emotions in his heart anymore when he heard this, and under the anger, a mouthful of blood gushed out directly, and the person instantly lost consciousness and fell off the horse.

"General!"

"General!"

Seeing this, the generals behind him hurriedly rushed forward, and the scene became a mess.

With the fall of the main general, a mood of unease and depression enveloped the entire camp.
