Chapter 124: The Decisive Battle in Youxian (3)

Youxian, an ordinary small county town in Weihai County, is destined to be remembered by the world in the history of Weihai County, because it witnessed the rise of the Han army and the fall of the old forces. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The cavalry of Weihai County and the 5,000 foot soldiers of the Praetorian Guard Battalion are glued together, and the cavalry that has lost its impact has fallen behind, plus the infantry of the Praetorian Guard Battalion are the elite of the Han army, so if it goes on, these 4,000 cavalry will be consumed little by little.

Wei Yan was shocked in the army, looking around, at least half of the soldiers were killed, which made him angry, he really didn't expect that this sudden Han army partial division, there was a considerable number of heavy infantry, if it weren't for these heavy infantry, Wei Yan was sure that with his four thousand cavalry, it would be enough to level the more than 10,000 Han army.

"Kill!" The foot soldiers of Weihai County City are finally approaching, they are not like cavalry, the distance of a thousand meters is instantaneous, they are running a thousand meters, they are already out of breath, but despite this, Wei Yan is still slightly happy in his heart, there are only more than 3,000 foot soldiers who arrived first, the number is not much, but it is enough to delay the battle.

Wei Yan's idea is very simple, there are tens of thousands of foot soldiers behind him, these foot soldiers will continue to enter the battle, as long as these foot soldiers are swarmed up, even if the Han army is no matter how elite it is, it will definitely not hold on, he vaguely saw the dawn of victory.

"Shoot the arrows!" Chen Ying commanded three thousand crossbowmen, as a sailor soldier, out of the Marine Battalion soldiers, other soldiers must meet two conditions, one is good water, but also excellent archery, because the battle of the sailor division is often long-range strike-based, frontal hand-to-hand combat, that is the battle will be carried out at the end.

Thousands of arrows poured down, but this time the target was not the cavalry of Weihai County, but the three thousand foot soldiers who were already approaching, these panting foot soldiers, seeing the rain of arrows falling, one by one were all dead souls, they had no shields, they were the most ordinary infantry, and the guns in their hands were either swords or spears, and the armor only protected the area of the chest, so this rain of arrows was an absolute nightmare for them.

"Ahh The screams came to mind one after another, and the dense rain of arrows came in waves, until the remaining foot soldiers joined the hand-to-hand combat, Chen Ying stopped shooting arrows and let the soldiers rest more, because there was still a fierce battle behind, and the enemy still had nearly 30,000 foot soldiers.

There were only four or five rounds of arrow rain, but the lack caused at least 1,500 enemy casualties, which made Wei Yan, who was a little happy, pale, pale, because these soldiers first ran and consumed their physical strength, and then they were attacked by the sword master, and the morale of these nearby foot soldiers had dropped greatly, and after rushing up, they did not stop the infantry of the Han army, and the cavalry under his command was still decreasing.

looked at the banner of the Chinese army of the Han army, where Liu Chen stood on horseback, there were still 3,000 crossbowmen and 5,000 foot soldiers in front of him, even if the foot soldiers of Weihai County City were approaching, Liu Chen did not let the rest of the foot soldiers attack, which made Wei Yan sink slightly, because the Han army still has so many fresh troops, and if the battle continues, the situation is worrying.

"All cavalry warriors, break through backwards!" Wei Yan decisively gave an order, taking advantage of the fact that his infantry and the soldiers of the Han army's Praetorian Guard battalion were glued together, he ordered the cavalry who were still alive to retreat, he couldn't let all the cavalry be buried here, the cavalry could only exert great lethality if the distance was widened, he thought that the cavalry would be withdrawn first, and then he would attack the infantry in front of Liu Chen with a thousand cavalry of the rear army bypassing these heavy infantry, in this way, there may be hope of victory.

However, Wei Yan's idea was good, but the Han army would not let them retreat so easily.

"Lord, look, the enemy's cavalry is retreating!" Xiahou Ying, the commander of the Marine Battalion of the Marine Division, pointed to the cavalry of Weihai County and said to Liu Chen.

Hearing this, Liu Chen smiled slightly and said, "Want to run?" How can it be so easy, order, let Chen Ying's highway men attack, even if they can't completely annihilate this group of cavalry, they must completely cripple him! ”

"All crossbowmen, target enemy cavalry, fire arrows!" Chen Ying's voice sounded instantly, and the crossbowman who had just rested raised the bow and arrow in his hand again, gritted his teeth, and shot out one sharp arrow after another in his hand!

In the face of the Han army's bow and arrow, Wei Yan was furious, but there was nothing he could do but order the cavalry to leave the battlefield as soon as possible, and the 1,500 foot soldiers who caught up were already demoralized.

"Give me all the top, reinforcements will arrive immediately, who dares to retreat, will not be spared!" When Wei Yan saw this scene, he was furious, and roared at those retreating foot soldiers, some of the foot soldiers ignored and continued to bow their heads and run away, and the following soldiers hesitated for a moment, and then looked at their own foot soldiers who were running five hundred miles behind him, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and killed the Han army again!

"The soldiers of the fifth company stepped forward to kill the enemy, and the other fighters re-lined up!" The enemy's retreat gave Situ Jiannan and the Praetorian Guard battalion a chance to breathe, just like that, the Praetorian Guard Battalion lost nearly two thousand, the heavy infantry lost more than half, the enemy retreated, Situ Jiannan did not let the soldiers pursue, but let the soldiers reline to meet the next wave of attacks, he knew that the vicious battle had just begun.

"The Praetorian Guard Battalion has suffered heavy losses, my lord, let's go to our Marine Battalion, although our Marine Battalion is a naval division unit, but because we have to log in to fight, we will not be too weak in the battle on land!" Seeing that there were too many casualties in the Praetorian Guard Battalion, Xiahou Ying said to Liu Chen.

Liu Chen shook his head and said lightly: "If the Praetorian Guard Battalion can only go so far, then it is not worthy of being my direct army, I believe that Situ Jiannan and the Praetorian Guard Battalion will not let me down, you can rest assured, when you are on the field, the enemy still has tens of thousands of foot soldiers, we still have a fierce battle, Zhang Han and Ding Fu's troops will still have nearly three hours to arrive, we must hold off the enemy!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiahou Ying hugged his fists and didn't say anything more, because he believed in Liu Chen, so he just had to do what Liu Chen said.

"Kill!" The follow-up infantry of Weihai County finally came up, and the first batch of foot soldiers killed, there were less than a hundred people left, and this group of foot soldiers was more, almost the entire army was dispatched, but due to the problem of the route, they could only rush up one by one.

Situ Jiannan shouted: "Soldiers of the Praetorian Guard Battalion, you are the most elite soldiers of the Han army, and you are the direct soldiers of the lord, the lord is behind us, tell me, will you disappoint the lord?" ”

"No!" The soldiers of the Praetorian Guard camp shouted.

"Will you be afraid of an enemy many times our size?" Situ Jiannan shouted again.

"No!" The morale of the fighters of the Praetorian Guard camp was high.

"Well said, the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard Battalion, we have to let the lord know that we are the most elite troops of the Han army, and we are qualified to be the lord's direct army, the Praetorian Guard Battalion, advance!" When Situ Jiannan finished saying this, he was already at the forefront of the army, and as soon as his voice fell, he rushed directly towards the soldiers of Weihai County City who were swarming over.

"Onward! Advance! Advance! ”

The soldiers of the Praetorian Guard Battalion were full of blood at this moment, and in the face of the enemy troops who were several times their size, they roared high trumpets and stepped on neat steps, and launched an attack on the enemy!
