For seven days, the Xianbei army attacked day and night.

When the gate of the wild goose was closed, the corpses piled up like a mountain, and the blood flowed like a river, dyeing the yellow sand black and red.

In these seven days, He Chen did not say a word about the form of defense of Yanmen, but quietly watched Zhang Liao calmly command the soldiers, and defended the defense line as impregnable. It's just that with the deepening of time, every day passes, He Chen's face has a more gloomy color.

The enemy's intentions have begun to be revealed, and the Yanmen Pass can be said to be a strong attack or a feint. Because at the same time, Xianbei also launched a more fierce offensive against Guangwu. Within five days, the Guangwu garrison lost 3,000 soldiers, the main general Zhang Lie was martyred, the deputy general Wang Yuan was seriously injured, and its partial generals, tooth generals, and officials above the Qu Chang lost more than ten people. The fierceness of the battle can be imagined without looking.

But now that Yanmen is overwhelmed, it is impossible to allocate too many troops even if they want to support.

Within three days of Guangwu City, more than ten emergency documents have been issued.

If no more troops are sent out, the city will be broken within ten days.

I'm afraid that from now on, all areas outside the Inner Great Wall will be Xianbei's back garden, hunting ground, and come and go freely.

Almost without thinking about it, He Chen asked Huang Zhong to lead 8,000 soldiers, and Yinyue bent the hook and secretly went out of Longling, preparing to transfer to Guancheng to support Guangwukou. These 8,000 soldiers were drawn out by Zhang Liao after exhausting his brains and shrinking his clothes and dieting for Huang Zhong. And Zhang Liao had to start using the Hun cavalry as foot soldiers to defend the city in the next period of stress.

There is another headache, the news from Pingshun City, Xianbei nearly 10,000 cavalry, and did not attack the city, but bypassed this fortified city, plundered everywhere, seized the grain road, Lou Gui organized two waves of grain trucks, which was killed and scattered in this way, and then burned by a fire. Fortunately, Yanmen has sufficient supplies, otherwise this alone will be enough for Zhang Liao to have a headache for a while.

Xianbei Lian said that he could not attack, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the eastern front had broken through from the Flying Fox Road, and the center of gravity began to show signs of shifting. But even so, there are still more than 70,000 or 80,000 tuns stationed in Baicaokou Pass, always looking at Yanmen and Guancheng.

At this time, He Chen finally let go of the Hun cavalry in his hand, and let Hu Chuquan hedge with cavalry to sweep Xianbei in the rear. And he led the three thousand parts to retreat from Yanmen Pass, ready to plug this colander with Hu Chuquan. These 3,000 parts: 1,000 is the "Sharpshooter Guard", 1,000 is the "Divine Sword Guard", and 1,000 "Scaly Legion" of land combat garbage.

Speaking of the "Divine Sword Praetorian Guard Regiment", this is after He Chen was rightfully transferred to the state pastor, the system issued another reward left. And among them, the soldier is the "heavy infantry". The alien cavalry was fierce and invincible, and there was little solution until the musket was born. In the national hodgepodge of Bingzhou, sooner or later it will clash with the cavalry, since it is impossible to organize the "Qiqi Cavalry Regiment" in a short period of time, then it is necessary to organize the heavy steps no matter what, even if it is to smash the pot and sell iron, and make all the old money, He Chen did not frown a little. The "Divine Sword Guard" and the "Divine Spear Guard" cooperate, although they dare not say that they can kill the cavalry, but at least they will not be like ordinary infantry, they will be crossed and scattered as soon as they rush.

But there is a problem that gives He Chen a headache, there are only 1,000 people in each group, what the hell can he do.

It was only two days after leaving Yanmen that the enemy had already discovered the enemy's movements.

The Xianbei cavalry was divided into countless small units, although they did not dare to attack the Yanmen Xiongguan, nor did they dare to storm the Pingshun Jiancheng, but they had begun to extend into the hinterland to kill, burn and loot, and do all kinds of evil. According to the news from Pingshun City, Xianbei on the one hand suppressed the Yanmen defense line with heavy troops, so that Zhang Liao could not withdraw troops, and on the other hand, there were signs of increasing troops from the gap in Ulzhou, and were ready to disrupt all defensive deployments in the state from the hinterland.

The Hun cavalry of Huchuquan has already faced the Xianbei cavalry.

The scouts have erupted in no less than dozens of battles, and Hu Chuquan has more losses than wins.

On the one hand, he regretted that he had not exhausted the elite of the clan, and on the other hand, he boasted about Haikou in front of He Chen, and no matter what, he would drive Xianbei out of the Pingshun area.

At this time, He Chen had just left Kougu Town, and the Hun cavalry in the outer defense line found the Xianbei cavalry. A thousand-horse battle broke out between the two sides, and then Hu Chuquan, who got the news, personally led his troops to support. It didn't take long for the Xianbei cavalry to retreat, and Hu Chuquan won a rare victory, and drove his horse to chase after him, and the distance between him and He Chen's brigade in the rear was getting farther and farther. When He Chen faintly felt bad, the scout news that came later made the premonition in his heart come true, and Hu Chuquan was ambushed.

At least 20,000 Xianbei besieged the Huchuquan Hun cavalry in Lingqiu, and the battle was extremely tragic.

What He Chen was worried about finally appeared, and the Xianbei cavalry, the vanguard from the direction of Ulzhou, had begun to come up one after another. But He Chen couldn't help but save Hu Chuquan, otherwise the relationship he had finally established with Yu Fuluo would inevitably be exhausted. He could only endure the numbness of his scalp, and led the 3,000 troops and the remaining 5,000 Hun cavalry to support. Special troops and martial arts skills are his biggest reliance and magic weapon.

But the infantry's speed and mobility were too poor, and He Chen had to let Yue'er lead the cavalry to support first.

Hu Chuquan's wife Crescent Moon, an equally fierce woman, her martial arts are by no means inferior to He Chen's ordinary generals, in the Qunying series, although the force is not as good as Huang Wudie, but it has the martial arts skill "Eryuan Cannon", which also makes He Chen willing to treat her as a member of the fierce general guarding the city.

Although He Chen was anxious and accelerated his march again and again, how could two feet run over four feet? Moreover, at this time, you can't abandon the auxiliary heavy convoy, which is the only barrier for the infantry to march on the plains, otherwise if there is still Xianbei cavalry, there is no danger to defend, and they will be rushed, even if it is an iron frame, it will be crossed.

It took almost two hours for the infantry brigade to catch up with the battlefield.

In the open space ahead, there were some undulating hills and flat land, and tens of thousands of cavalry of the two fierce races of Xiongnu and Xianbei were tearing and killing each other. The yellow sand is rolling, the sound of hooves is dense, the sound of killing is shocking, and people are turning over on their backs. At this time, the two parties have been completely strangled together, and they don't pay attention to any hedging strategy, it is completely hand-to-hand combat with Ma Bei. The Hun cavalry was obviously at a disadvantage, besieged by Xianbei and struggled to parry. Although Hu Chuquan has the courage of ten thousand people, under a wolf's tooth lance, I don't know how many Xianbei cavalry died in it, but even so, it still can't withstand Xianbei's strength, and it becomes defeated and retreated.

The Xianbei cavalry apparently also discovered He Chen's infantry brigade. With a thousand cavalry galloped away.

That's right, there were only a thousand cavalry. Don't blame Commander Xianbei for underestimating He Chen so much, you must know that the cavalry is on the plains and land, and almost all the troops are killed. Not to mention that He Chen only has 3,000 infantry, even if it is 5,000 people, in the case of no danger to defend, if he is charged by a thousand cavalry in waves, the formation can be broken up immediately, and if he organizes another wave, it is to harvest life like straw. In this era, it is simply impossible for infantry to withstand cavalry charges without the help of geographical advantages and equipment.

But He Chen was born to break this convention.

"Form a formation." He Chen looked at the galloping horses and the roaring cavalry, his whole body was full of blood, and he couldn't help but shout.

"Bang la la" auxiliary heavy soldiers quickly pushed the vehicles in all directions, like ants moving, fast and chaotic, and it didn't take long to push all the auxiliary heavy vehicles to the first line, forming a simple outer defensive position, surrounding all the soldiers in the middle.

The 1,000 "Divine Sword Guards" were divided into four square formations, each column of 200 people, and was divided into four groups, with the east, west, south, and north directions on the front line of the auxiliary vehicles, while the 1,000 "Divine Spear Guards" were hidden behind, surrounding the scaly sailors and He Chen and others in the middle.

The speed of Xianbei's 1,000 cavalry came extremely fast, and it was not an instant that they rushed up.

Looking at the momentum, like an overwhelming momentum, not to mention the soldiers, even He Chen pinched a cold sweat. Whether the "Divine Sword Guard" can withstand the cavalry charge and whether it can come in handy in the future war depends on this time.

"Stand shield." Ji Ling watched the Xianbei cavalry rush up almost in a line, and was about to cross the vehicle, and couldn't help but shout in a hurry. Since the formation of the Divine Sword Soldiers, Ji Ling has become the best choice in He Chen's mind, although this person is brave, but at most he can only be a general and not a commander, and he is the most suitable for commanding such an elite army.

The shield in the hand of the "Papapa" sword soldier is shaped like a rib, and the entire shield surface is as smooth as a mirror and the color is bright. At this time, it was like being unscrewed, and the shield, which was originally only one meter long, suddenly extended two triangular shields from the upper and lower sides, forming an oval shield of about one meter and a half in an instant. Just stretched out two triangular shields, the top and bottom almost like blades, all open, extremely sharp. Almost at the same time, all the sword soldiers slammed their shields into the ground, and the sharp edges, the weight of the shields, and the strong strength of the soldiers suddenly stuck the shields firmly on the ground. The shield is white as a whole, mixed with a large amount of sand, silver, and steel, and stands up more than a meter high, and the most terrifying thing is the sharp edge at the top, as long as the horse is not careful, it can be cut through the lower abdomen on the spot and die.

This is the "Divine Sword Praetorian Guard Regiment" created by He Chen. "If nothing else, this thousand-sided round shield alone has exhausted almost half of the state's financial resources, including springs, steel plates, skilled craftsmen, and countless efforts on each side, and the folding shield is definitely a great invention of this era.

The Xianbei cavalry looked at the strong shield formation in front of them, obviously a little flustered, but they had never passed through this formation, and they quickly rushed up again.
