Woooooo Under Yecheng, the sound of horns sounded again in the Wei army's array.

Thirty thousand Hu cavalry brandished their war swords, and their mouths let out whining and chirping shouts, and they frantically slaughtered the Hexi army again.

Facing the Hu cavalry who was determined to fight, Wang Zhen snorted the corners of his mouth and ordered to change the formation to meet the enemy.

The commander gave an order, and the Hexi military formation underwent major changes, and the spearmen who were originally in front quickly retreated.

The crossbowmen who had been in the center of the large array rushed to the front, and behind the crossbowmen were the heavily armed Modao team.

Hu Qi naturally saw all this in his eyes, but they didn't think much about it, but felt that the Hexi Army was killing themselves.

Because, the reason why the Wei army's iron cavalry repeatedly failed to charge the battle just now is that the spear array and the van car cooperate to form a solid defense line.

Now that the Hexi Army has taken the initiative to withdraw the spear array, it is equivalent to giving up its own advantage, how not to let the Hu cavalry secretly rejoice.

Only Li Yan frowned, always feeling that things were not so simple, there must be a conspiracy in which he didn't know.

At this time, Wang Zhenwei looked at the Wei cavalry who rushed up, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.

He secretly calculated the distance between the enemy and us, and as soon as Hu Cai entered the range of the bow and crossbow, he immediately ordered the crossbowmen to attack.

Almost at the same time, hundreds of powerful crossbows were fired at the same time.

Suddenly, the arrows were as dense as a torrential rain, and all of them shot at the surging Hu Qi.

The crossbowmen then fired in a three-stage pattern, creating an impenetrable rain of arrows.

No matter how hard Hu Qi charged, he couldn't break through the crossbowman blockade.

The two sides were only separated by more than a hundred paces, but at this distance of a hundred paces, a death zone was created by the crossbowmen.

No matter how Hu Qi continued to rush and kill, he couldn't rush in front of the Hexi army.

In just a stick of incense, Hu Cai left a corpse in front of the two armies.

Whether it was Yu Liyan, who was in command, or Shusun Jian, who was hiding in Yecheng, they were all shocked by the scene in front of them.

Over time, the huge casualties finally made the Hulu cavalry feel terrified.

Their speed of charging became slower and less frequent, and some of them even began to deliberately avoid the crossbowmen.

……

At the head of Yecheng City, Uncle Sun Jian saw that the Wei army's iron cavalry had returned in vain again, and his face was gloomy like water.

He had forgotten that this was the first time that he had been forced to retreat by the Hexi army, and only remembered that the Wei army's iron cavalry had been defeated again and again.

It's not that he didn't want to go out of the city to help in the war, but as soon as he came to protect Yecheng, he was still looking forward to Tuoba Lie going south.

It's a pity that Uncle Sun Jian didn't know that Tuoba Lie had planted a heel under Handan City.

Murong He next to him said with a pale face: "I have heard that Hexi is a world of armor, and he is especially good at using crossbows. ”

"In the past, this king had always been suspicious of this, but now he knows that what he said is true."

"After this battle, I am afraid that the cavalry of all divisions will change color when they hear the crossbow on the west side of the river."

"After going back, Gu must remind King Yan that if you encounter Hexi crossbowmen in the future, you must not rush to charge."

Uncle Sun Jian bowed his head slightly in agreement, and looked at the north again with an anxious face.

As soon as Murong He looked at the other party's actions, he knew what Uncle Sun Jian was thinking.

He glanced sideways at the other party, hesitated for a moment, and said, "General Shusun, I don't think it's better to count on General Tuoba." ”

"What does King Luyang mean by this?"

"Yecheng and Xiangguo are less than two hundred miles apart, if everything goes well, General Tuoba should have come to Yecheng a long time ago."

"But we haven't seen a shadow yet, what does that mean?"

"Either General Tuoba stayed well in Xiangguo and didn't raise troops at all; Either he's in trouble. ”

"Trouble? What's the trouble? ”

"If this king's expectation is correct, General Tuoba must have been blocked by the Hexi army under Handan City."

"Didn't you say that the walls of Handan have collapsed, and the Hexi army can't defend it at all?"

"The city wall of Handan has indeed collapsed for a while, but how can the Hexi army deal with common sense?"

Hearing this, Uncle Sun Jian was shocked, and suddenly realized that Wei Guo seemed to have underestimated his opponent.

If Tuoba Lie can't go south on time, then I'm afraid that Yu Liyan will be in danger in front of him.

As a result, Shusun Jian had to consider giving up Yecheng and going out of the city to assist Yu Liyan.

……

The fierce battle between the Wei army and the Hexi army in Yecheng had been going on for half a day, and both sides had suffered heavy casualties.

In the fierce battle, the Hexi Army gradually stabilized its position with excellent equipment and well-trained.

However, due to the fact that the Wei army was all cavalry, it naturally had an advantage over the infantry, so the Hexi army lost more than nearly 10,000 people.

At the same time, Tan Daoji with 20,000 cavalry had quietly entered the periphery of the battlefield.

Inside the big tent, Tan Daoji was pacing back and forth with his negative hands, anxious in his heart.

Tan Daoji is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and since joining Hexi, he has repeatedly made military exploits, and has been trusted and reused by the capital.

He once served as the guard general of Yanmen Pass, and knew that the strength of the Wei army's iron cavalry was good, so he was very worried about the safety of Wang Zhen's evil department.

But he didn't dare to rush to the rescue, because in a sense, the 30,000 infantry under Wang Zhenxi's command were specially used to consume the Wei cavalry.

Unless he waits for the perfect time, even if the 30,000 infantry are wiped out, Tan Daoji will have to stand still.

Just when Tan Daoji was worried, a report came from outside the account: "General Qiyu, Yecheng is urgent." ”

"Bring it in."

A short time later, a scout walked briskly into the tent, knelt down on one knee and bowed, presenting a secret letter aloft up.

Tan Daoji first glanced at the paint seal to make sure that it had not been opened, and then put it on the table and slowly opened it.

The more he looked, the more pleasantly surprised he became, and the infantry behaved completely unexpectedly.

Although it paid a huge price, it blocked the Hu cavalry charge and laid a solid foundation for the next total annihilation of the enemy.

At the end of the secret letter, the scout also mentioned that the Wei army in Yecheng could no longer sit still, and it was very likely that they would go out of the city to help in the battle.

Seeing this, Tan Daoji couldn't help laughing.

He knew in his heart that the moment the Wei army in the city left the city was the moment when he led the army to raid.

After reading the letter, he immediately ordered: "Order the whole army, prepare to set out of the camp!" ”

……

When both sides are ready to play their hole cards, the battle under the city is still raging.

With the lessons of the past, Yu Liyan scattered the cavalry line to reduce the casualties of the crossbowmen in Hexi.

At the same time, he also sent out the heavy cavalry that he had not been willing to use.

Originally, there was no such cavalry in the Wei army, but after the destruction of the Yan State, Tuoba Jue learned the skills of the Murong family.

This time, in order to inflict heavy damage on Hexi, he specially handed over 500 heavy cavalry to Yu Liyan's command.

Seeing that the enemy army changed formations again, Wang Zhenwei was not to be outdone and adjusted his deployment.

The crossbowmen are still at the front, but their mission has changed from interception to luring the enemy.

The one who really undertook sniping the Hulu heavy cavalry was the hoplite armed with a Mo knife.

When the fighting resumed again, the crossbowmen quickly retreated to the rear and completely moved out of the way.

With the sound of a collision of armor leaves, a team of Mo knife hands lined up.

They were wearing step armor and holding long knives in their hands, and they were tightly wrapped all over their bodies.

Due to the extremely high physical requirements, thousands of people want to join the Modao team every year, but few are selected in the end.

In the eyes of the generals in Hexi, Mo Daoshou is undoubtedly the most powerful infantry today.

They were not afraid of cavalry charging and bowing and arrows, and could resist cavalry head-on.

The opponent encountered by the Modao team today is also extraordinary, it is the elite of the elite of the Wei army - equipped with heavy cavalry.

Heavily armoured, these heavy cavalrymen were largely unafraid of bow and arrows, and only large bed crossbows could damage them.

The Wei heavy cavalry easily crossed the death strip and rushed to the front of the Hexi army almost without any damage.

Whether it was Yu Liyan or Uncle Sun Jian, they finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this scene.

Both of them believed that the heavy cavalry was the nemesis of the crossbowmen in Hexi, and the next battle would be much easier.

Uncle Sun Jian even waved his fist excitedly, thinking that the victory was in his hands, but the next scene made him unforgettable.

He watched as the Hexi crossbowmen calmly retreated to the rear, followed by a group of infantry in bright armor who met the heavy cavalry of the Wei army.

The leader is the famous Hexi fierce general Kuaien.

I saw Kuang En holding a Mo knife, his eyes widened angrily, and he shouted loudly: "Brothers, kill Hu." ”

"Kill Hu!"

All the Mo swordsmen shouted, and they all lined up.

They are not fast, but their pace is neat and unhurried, and their fighting spirit is high.

At the moment of engaging the enemy, they simultaneously raised their swords and slashed diagonally at Hu Cai.

Everyone moved in unison, and the oblique and horizontal slashes were so neat and uniform.

The Mo knife in his hand is like a demon devouring life, and every time he slashes, blood is always splashed.

Kuang En stared at a Hu Qi fiercely, and when the opponent's spear just stabbed out, he suddenly swung his Mo knife and cut off the opponent's spear at once.

Then he returned his hand again, and immediately cut the horse into two pieces.

didn't bother to wipe the blood splashed on his face, and Kuang En swung it to the side with his Mo knife again.

"Poof!" Another big head, flying out diagonally with a puff of blood mist.

The corpse continued to run forward a few steps with the war horse before falling.

Like a swarm of fierce beasts, the Mo knife hand rushed into the enemy's group, like a wall, like a meat reamer, strangling the enemy.

Wherever they passed, whether it was a beard or a war horse, as long as they were swept into this wall composed of Mo knives, they always left behind a broken corpse.
