The vase is located in the valley mouth of the valley under Niutou Mountain, because it is famous for being like an upside-down vase, the valley mouth is a bottle mouth, the terrain is very narrow, and beyond the valley mouth is an open area of several miles in size, this area is an excellent area for the cavalry to attack in formation, because the enemy force that has just come out of the valley has no time to retreat to the narrow valley when it is suddenly attacked by the cavalry, and can only be helplessly slaughtered by the other party, so as long as there are their cavalry here, It was impossible for Liu Qi's infantry to reach Lintao.

When Cheng Yi arrived at the open place of the treasure bottle mouth, he heard the news from the spies that Liu Qi's army was slowly going out from the mouth of the treasure bottle, and it was estimated that there would be one or two thousand soldiers coming to the open land after a cup of tea.

Cheng Yi nodded, and immediately ordered the army to dismount and rest, and wait for a cup of tea before attacking. He is a very skilled cavalry general, naturally knows the importance of cultivating horsepower, the army is about to face a charge, let the horses rest before attacking, absolutely can maximize the power of cavalry.

After the tea effort, Cheng Yi immediately ordered the army to get on the horse, only to see the well-trained Xiliang cavalry almost at the same time on the horses, and then at the first moment when the horn sounded, they rode to the front, and for a while a sea of horses was formed in this open land, and the sound of the horse's hooves slamming on the ground made the earth shake, and it can indeed be said that the wind and clouds changed color, and the sky was terrified.

Cheng Yi looked at such an elite cavalry under his command. Suddenly felt a double of pride, thinking that such a good cavalry, even Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry dared to shout. What's more, the opponent is just a mere infantry, and it is also an infantry that has fallen under its own ambush?

But at this moment, the team in front suddenly showed a trace of panic, which made Cheng Yi frown, and asked in a deep voice: "What's the matter?" ”

"General Cheng, Liu Qi's infantry also saw the opportunity quickly, and actually formed a defense in a short period of time. Now their archers are firing arrows at us, and hundreds of their soldiers have been shot down. Yang Qiu, who was not far away, came to Cheng Yi. Gently explained.

"Did the enemy deploy any other defenses? For example, the antlers and thistles that we fear most in the army? Cheng Yi was also a little cautious, after all, he had also heard that Liu Qi's army had never been defeated, in case the boat capsized in the gutter. Wouldn't it be humiliating?

But Yang Qiu smiled faintly and said, "In such a short time, how can they be in time?" It's just that the opponent's archers are very tough, and they actually launched an attack on us from a hundred and fifty paces away, and the soldiers were caught off guard and suffered a lot of losses. ”

Cheng Yi was relieved, and said with a faint smile: "Hehe, it's just a dying struggle, how much of a threat can a mere archer pose to us?" Besides, can you still fight without dying? Command the army to press up. As long as our cavalry rushes closer, their archers are useless. ”

"No." Although Yang Qiu's official position is similar to that of Cheng Yi, the other party is now the main general. He did not hesitate, and immediately ordered the army to move on.

Although the bows and arrows of the enemy were strong, in the blink of an eye, their cavalry was within one hundred and twenty paces.

At this time, I saw the red flag in the enemy camp, and then I heard a strong sound of breaking the air, and then I heard the neighing of horses. Many soldiers in the front row, along with their horses, fell unwillingly, just in the blink of an eye. The number of losses has risen to more than a thousand.

"General, general, the enemy's crossbow arrows are very hard, and there are many of them, our soldiers have suffered heavy losses, and now it is just a round of crossbow arrows, and we have lost thousands of people." Hou Xuan came over and said breathlessly.

Cheng Yi didn't panic, and said lightly: "Hmph, I think this should be Huang Zhong's crossbowmen, his crossbowmen are equipped with ten crossbow arrows, and ten crossbows are fired in a row, how can we not suffer some losses?" However, the crossbow also has a fatal drawback, that is, it takes a long time to reload the crossbow after this round is over, as long as everyone uses this time to rush forward, his crossbow soldiers will be useless. General Hou, you personally led the cavalry to rush up, and this time you will definitely let the enemy know that our Xiliang Iron Cavalry is powerful. ”

"No." Hou Xuan looked from a distance, and saw that the crossbow arrows shot were indeed much sparser, and immediately ordered: "Soldiers, the enemy's crossbow arrows are gone, and they will rush with me." ”

I saw the sound of war drums and the hooves of horses, and the army rushed over like a tide again.

In the blink of an eye, the cavalry led by Hou Xuan broke through another twenty steps, and now the distance from Liu Qi's army was only one hundred steps, and at this time, the crossbow arrows of the crossbowmen were still being loaded, and it was obvious that there was nothing they could do.

"Just twenty more steps, and it's time for us to fight back." The candidate's heart was also very excited, and he continued to rush forward.

But at this moment, I saw the crossbowmen retreat like a tide, and a team appeared behind them, this team was still infantry, but each of them was in shape, and they all carried a spear in their hands.

"What is this for? Does Liu Qi want to throw a spear with us? Hey, if it's on horseback. We were still afraid, but they were only infantrymen, and the maximum distance of the spears was only eighty paces, and we were the ones who threw the spears to attack within eighty paces. Hou Xuan couldn't help sneering in his heart, and decided to ignore the enemy army and continue to ride forward.

But unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, a sharp sound pierced through the air, and then the candidate was horrified to see that the spear flew out of the enemy's hand and was thrown into his own cavalry team with unmistakable accuracy.

In an instant, he saw that the elite cavalry he was proud of fell to the ground again, and the battlefield was filled with the mournful screams of the war horses and the screams of the soldiers.

It was only a rough estimate that this time another 2,000 soldiers were killed under the spears of the enemy.

"This, how is this possible? The range of the enemy's spears was a hundred paces! And they are all so powerful, are all those soldiers of the enemy army monsters? Cheng Yi, who was behind, saw this scene from afar, with a frightened and incredulous face, and still muttered to himself.

"General, what are we going to do next?" The herald also looked frightened and said to Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi's face showed a trace of perseverance, gritted his teeth and said: "Now that the arrow is on the string, we have to send it, if we retreat, it will only lose more, and if we continue to advance, the enemy's spearmen will no longer have spears, and although the crossbow arrows are domineering, at most one more round of shooting, we can rush forward, so this time, no matter how much sacrifice we make, we must rush forward and crush their formation." ”

"No." When the herald heard this, he said no more, and as soon as the flag was waved and the war drums sounded, he saw more than 10,000 cavalry roaring and rushing forward again.

The next scene was as Cheng Yi expected, after the spearmen retreated, the crossbowmen stepped forward again, fired a crossbow arrow at the army, and then retreated again, causing more than 1,000 losses to their own side.

Now it is only sixty paces away from the enemy, but the army has lost nearly 5,000 people, such a heavy loss is definitely the first time Cheng Yi has seen it in his life, but at this time Cheng Yi can no longer care about so much, no matter what price he pays, this time he must also rush to the front of the enemy's formation, rush the hateful enemy army to pieces, and then kill the enemy army in chaos.

Therefore, although Cheng Yi's heart twitched with pain, he still gritted his teeth and gave an order: "Don't care, continue to rush and kill!" As long as we get closer, it will be our victory. ”

Then Cheng Yi got the information, the enemy archers stopped moving, the spearmen stopped moving, and even the crossbowmen stopped moving, and they all silently retreated, leaving only a group of infantry, each with a long strange weapon, trying to stop the advance of their own cavalry.

Cheng Yi couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he heard the news, he had never heard of any infantry that could resist their cavalry, this must be the enemy army ordering the infantry to come up when they were helpless, so as to ensure that the other teams could retreat along the way.

"It's too late now, you infantry are like moths throwing fire, and then you'll see what we're capable of."

Cheng Yi smiled, said coldly, and then decisively gave the order to attack.

"It's just a pity that the spearman's striker has lost almost everything, otherwise just one round of spear throwing would have caused a certain amount of panic to the enemy, but now it seems that it is not needed, because the enemy has become a lamb to the slaughter." The candidate who led the cavalry charge in front felt a little regretful, but when he saw the enemy's "heroic" infantry, he no longer regretted it in his heart, because he knew that his side had paid such a heavy sacrifice, and it was time to harvest.

"Kill, rush in, and let the enemy see how powerful we are." Hou Xuan took the lead and roared angrily at the Xiliang Iron Horse behind him.

Then he rode over first, and his heart was filled with pity for those enemy soldiers who did not even have antlers and spears, because he knew that the other party must be the target of slaughter, and he could even imagine how panicked it would be to beware of those generous infantry when he saw his own elite cavalry killing them.

But when he rushed closer, he was surprised to find that the other party's soldiers did not have a trace of panic, they still stood proudly like mountains, and then slowly waved the strange weapons in their hands, calmly slaughtering the cavalry rushing towards him!

"What? What kind of weird weapon is this? And even stabbed my elite knight to death, and that's not all, this weapon can even slash and split my knight and the horse he sat on in half at once! How can there be such a sharp weapon in this world? When Hou Xuan saw this scene in front of him, he couldn't help but be terrified, and smiled bitterly: "Now it is indeed a one-sided massacre, but I didn't expect that it was the enemy who carried out the massacre, and my own elite cavalry turned out to be the target of slaughter, such a scene is really fucking shocking."
