Chapter 426: The Cavalry Attack

Even if the allied forces of the Western Liang princes had already foreseen that the New Han army would not be able to make their attack too smooth, they would inevitably send troops to attack the sergeants who broke through the front line of the New Han army. However, when this moment came, they still felt a panic in their hearts.

I heard how strong the New Han Army was, and how powerful the New Han Army's various methods of warfare were. But those are all heard, and only when they really face to face with the soldiers of the New Han Army can they understand why the New Han Army is known as invincible in the world, and why the New Han Army has not been a defeated battle in the real sense since its establishment.

I saw that a platoon of New Han soldiers jumped up from the trench, and the soldiers of this platoon of New Han Army were each carrying an unusually thick broadsword in their hands. This broadsword, unlike their simple knives, is much longer than theirs in terms of both the handle and the blade, and the blade is also wider. In the New Han Army, this kind of knife is called the Da Mo knife.

This row of Xinhan saber soldiers, they dragged the Da Mo sword, rushed forward, and when they ran to the front of their sword and shield soldiers, they raised the big knives in their hands almost at the same time, held the handle with both hands, shouted wildly, and slashed down unreasonably. With a bang, the sword flashed, and the soldiers of the Xiliang Princes' coalition who subconsciously raised their shields to greet each other were actually chopped backwards by this row of soldiers of the New Han Army with shields.

In an instant, the front line was broken, and the soldiers of the New Han Army rushed up, their hands rising and falling.

The prestige created by these New Han Army Mo Sword Soldiers was no less than the power created by Xu Rong and other New Han Army generals. For a time, the momentum of the New Han Army was great, and they shouted to kill. Rushed into the crowd of enemy soldiers.

This group of soldiers of the Xiliang princes were all elite soldiers carefully selected by Han Sui and other princes. Among them, most of them are brave people, such as brave people. A man who dares to fight, even if he is not an elite man, is also a brave man under heavy reward.

But even so, under the situation of the New Han Army's preemptive victory, they were also timid.

At this time, the generals in charge of unifying the army, they were also a little panicked, the speed of the New Han Army was too fast, and many soldiers were killed. didn't seem to come back to his senses, and was cut in two by the soldiers of the New Han Army. If this continues, the result of a complete rout is inevitable.

"What are you doing! Kill me! Kill the New Han Army for me, kill it! Finally, many generals of the alliance of princes reacted, sacrificed their weapons, shouted loudly, and led people to rush towards the New Han army.

"Drink!"

Xu Rong had already taken the lead, and even more suddenly forward, his long knife. Dancing vigorously, every step he took knocked the enemy soldiers in front of him to the point of blood and fell backwards.

Several coalition soldiers saw the people around them being killed one by one and fell to the ground. In an instant, it also aroused their bloodiness, and they shouted in unison and attacked Xu Rong.

Long sword and simple knife. The spear and the arrow beckoned to Xu Rong desperately.

But Xu Rong is naturally not afraid. The long knife picked left and right, directly blocking their attack. Another round of knives, with a bang, blood soared, and several human heads with wide mouths flew up into the air in unison. The headless corpse rushed forward a few steps with a bang before falling to the ground.

"Kill! Kill, kill, kill! Xu Rong was able to kill, wiped a handful of blood that had just been splashed on his face, raised his knife and jumped again, jumping directly into a group of enemy archers who were about to retreat.

"Xu Rong is here! Who's going to fight me! ”

It was like chopping melons and vegetables, killing more than ten people in a row, and suddenly feeling bored, I couldn't help yelling, challenging the enemy, hoping to meet an opponent who could fight with me.

"Xu Rong, don't be rampant! Dong is here to take your life! ”

At this moment, a shirtless coalition general, carrying a sledgehammer, arrived on foot and smashed down according to the honor.

"Hah! Dong Yue! It's you? I thought you had already gone to Jiuquan with Dong Xiang. Hum! It's just in time, today, let you follow Dong Xiang as soon as possible, serve him, kill! Xu Rong raised his sword, but recognized who this person was at a glance.

Dong Yue is a distant relative of Dong Zhuo, and he has been praised by Dong Zhuo because of his bravery. However, his temperament is tyrannical and eats people's hearts, and he has never been liked by Xu Rong, Hua Xiong and other generals with unclear consciences. It made the literati and strategists around Dong Zhuo such as Li Ru hate or fear. Therefore, he often said that Dong Yue was not in front of Dong Zhuo, so Dong Yue has not been very reused.

If he hadn't seen him on the battlefield today, Xu Rong would probably not have remembered that there was still this person in this world. Unexpectedly, he was not dead yet, and he was hiding in the army of the Xiliang princes. In addition, Xu Rong, Hua Xiong and other Dong Zhuo's old generals, although they served Liu Yi, they did not agree with many of Dong Zhuo's actions in their hearts, but when they usually talked about Dong Zhuo, they would not casually open their mouths and scold Dong Zhuo as a thief, and generally called Dong Zhuo Dong Xiang. After all, Dong Zhuo is their old master, and now that people are dying like lights out, they don't want or disdain to verbally insult Dong Zhuo.

Dong Yue is now a general in the Niu Auxiliary Army, but he is quite valued by Niu Fu, and this time, Niu Auxiliary Army is the military horse that sent him to command Niu Fu.

With a ding, the knives and hammers were agitated, for a stirring sound.

In the midst of the sparks, the two generals took a few steps back.

"Huh? Unexpectedly, there was a bit of brute force. Again! Xu Rong's hands tightened, he grasped the long knife and the long handle, and with a snort, he slashed at Dong Yue.

Dingdingding......

One knife after another, killing Dong Yue without the power to fight back.

Dong Yue actually only has a bit of brute strength, not even a third-rate general, how can he be Xu Rong's opponent?

With a buzz, the sledgehammer in his hand was directly chopped by Xu Rong and flew out.

"Kill!" Xu Rong slashed coldly, and Dong Yue's big head jumped out of his body at once.

"Humph! Just a clown, if it weren't for Dong Xiang not letting you kill you, how could you have your life to live in this moment? Dong Xiang is dead, you should have followed Dong Xiang as early as possible, but you caused me to stain my knife, phew! ”

Xu Rong rolled down to the bone, his eyes opened wide, and he spat out a mouthful of water and scolded Dong Yue's head.

The allied forces of the Xiliang princes organized a counterattack, but they were not the opponents of the soldiers of the New Han Army. Defeated, the wolf fled from the position of the New Han army.

Xu Rong raised his head and glanced at the battlefield. Seeing that the enemy army was repulsed, he immediately shouted: "Don't pursue." Remove! ”

This battle did not last long, and in less than a quarter of an hour, in the blink of an eye, the New Han army retreated behind the first line of defense.

The allied forces of the Xiliang princes, they naturally also saw the sudden attack of the New Han army, and soon sent men and horses to support. But they were still a step slower and did not catch up with Xu Rong and other soldiers of the New Han Army. Instead, he shot with a bow and arrow for a while, and died without a hitch.

But they didn't dare to chase all the way seriously, and they didn't dare to kill in front of the first line of defense. Because, the bow and arrow array of the New Han Army is still there, and the bed crossbow of the New Han Army is still there.

In this way, the first attack of the Xiliang princes was a complete failure, although it was not that there was no achievement, but they were finally forced to withdraw from the formation of the New Han Army.

Han Sui and other Xiliang princes naturally will not stop there. They made a summary based on the real situation on the battlefield. The decision is to continue the attack. This time, they could almost stand firm in the position of the New Han Army, as long as they dug a good trench before the New Han Army's bed crossbow attacked. Beware of the attack of the New Han Army. Then, they don't have to worry too much about the New Han Army.

The first batch of attacks was mainly pulled by the New Han Army with bed crossbows. The sudden blow shocked their hearts. Then, the New Han Army suddenly sneaked out and killed. Let them not have time to make a corresponding plan to deal with the enemy for a while, and they will be defeated and withdraw from the battle.

Soon, the coalition forces of the Xiliang princes were ready to attack again, this time, there was no need to drive the cattle and sheep in front, they were ready to advance directly to the previous position according to the method of the party.

But do they still have a chance?

More than half an hour passed.

In the southeast of Baohan City, there was already a faint rumbling sound, and the ground seemed to tremble slightly.

When they were assembling and preparing for the second batch of sergeants to attack the position of the New Han Army, the Xiliang princes who were standing on the high place of the Dianjiangtai all sank in their hearts, and they all turned their heads in surprise and looked in the direction of the sound.

"New Han Army Cavalry!"

I don't know who it is, I suddenly screamed, and suddenly, there was a commotion in the assembled Xiliang coalition army.

"Quiet! Panic what! Han Sui looked into the distance in the southeast with a suspicious expression, and said with a sigh.

"Not good! Look at the southeast, it's really the cavalry of the New Han Army! ”

Niu Fu's eyes were sharp, and he saw that at the end of the plain to the south, a black line appeared, and there seemed to be countless cavalry, which were moving rapidly.

"Damn! How could the cavalry of the New Han Army be in the southeast of Baohan City? Isn't it in the city of Hohan? Zhong Xuan's face also changed greatly.

On the plain, looking into the distance, seeing things moving in the distance, whether it is a person, a horse, or a car, you will have a visual illusion, and you will feel that those moving things come from above, from the sky. In fact, this kind of optical illusion, if you are on the seaside, looking at the ships on the sea, this feeling will be even stronger, the ships on the sea do not seem to be on the sea, but seem to be driving under the sky.

At this time, the cavalry of the New Han Army, from the far side of the plain, seemed to come from the sky, as if they were pressed down from the darkness of the sky.

At this moment, the princes of Xiliang, as well as their soldiers, seemed to be suffocated, and an invisible pressure was urgently filled in their hearts, making their minds panic for no reason.

"What's the panic? Our spies can't be wrong, the Xinhan army is in Baohan City, and there are only about 300,000 troops, and the cavalry army is only 200,000. Even if they had played any tricks in front of us, deceived our eyes and ears, and placed their cavalry in the southeast direction outside the city, it would only be 200,000 troops. But here we have an army of 400,000 or 500,000. Afraid of what? What are you panicking about? Don't forget, we also have 200,000 cavalry, as well as hundreds of thousands of cavalry from Xiliang aliens who have been waiting for a long time. Han Sui calmed himself down and drank a sigh.

"yes, what are we panicking about? No matter what, the New Han Army will be destroyed! Guo Yan also responded.

"But, what now? It seems that the cavalry of the New Han Army is about to directly attack our army. Looking at the cavalry army of the New Han Army that was getting closer and closer, Zhong Xuan said a little softened.

"Humph! The water comes to cover the earth, and the soldiers will block it! Han Sui snorted coldly and said, "Everyone, now, it may be a battle that we will win or lose." As long as this cavalry of the New Han Army is destroyed, we will win, and the whole of Xiliang. There is no longer a place to threaten to get our save. So, now. For the time being, I give orders on behalf of our allies, and I ask you to do as ordered. We must work together to fight this battle. Otherwise, we will be defeated. ”

"This ...... So be it, the military situation is urgent, and there is no time for me to wait and deliberate slowly. Guo Yan wanted to oppose it, but thinking about it, this is indeed not the time to care about who makes the decision.

"Good!" Han Sui asserted: "Then we should ask General Guo Yan to lead the 100,000 cavalry on the left flank of our battalion to meet the cavalry of the New Han Army first, and intercept them from attacking our battalion as much as possible." Buy a little time for our army's battalion to set up. Well, just a little interception, you can lead 100,000 cavalry to the side of the cavalry of the New Han Army. In addition, General Niu Fu, please lead the 100,000 cavalry on the right flank to return to our main camp, and after our large battalion infantry has defeated their cavalry, then immediately kill and disperse the cavalry of the New Han Army. And also. You can send a signal to let the Xiliang alien army attack immediately, from the west of Baohan City to the south of Baohan City. From the flank, it was directly into the cavalry formation of the New Han Army. ”

"The rest of the generals, please follow Han and set up the formation immediately. Lined up for the cavalry of the New Han Army! ”

Han Sui had the style of a general, and gave orders one after another. Be clear and concise.

Everyone has no objections, even if it is Guo Yan. He was a little dissatisfied with the cavalry that let him lead 100,000 cavalry to meet the New Han Army, and he didn't really want to play the role of a vanguard in his heart, but when he heard Han Sui say that the 100,000 cavalry he led did not need to directly engage the cavalry of the New Han Army, he only needed to attract the cavalry that contained the New Han Army in a roundabout way. In this way, he did not speak out against it, after all, speaking out against it at this time exposed the panic in his heart. He didn't want these Xiliang princes to see his jokes.

In addition, their princes' coalition army, from early in the morning to now, the army is gathering, and now it is relatively fast to deploy the formation, and it is only necessary to mobilize the military horses of all branches to arrange the formation. They just planned to hold the camp and prevent the cavalry of the New Han Army from breaking into the formation. What really attacked and wiped out the cavalry of the New Han Army was the cavalry army of the Xiliang alien race.

Well, it is conceivable that the cavalry army of the Xiliang alien race is more than half more than half of the 200,000 cavalry troops of the New Han Army that have been killed. With such a comparison of strength and strength, no matter how weak the cavalry of the Xiliang alien race is, it can still rush the cavalry of the New Han Army, right? What's more, it is said that the cavalry of the Xiliang alien race bypassed from the west of Baohan City to attack the flank of the cavalry of the New Han Army, but in fact, the strength of the Xiliang alien army was not to attack the flank of the New Han army, but to directly surround the cavalry of the New Han Army.

Coupled with the 200,000 cavalry on his side, the cavalry of more than 600,000 against the 200,000 cavalry of the New Han Army, this card, no matter how it is calculated, is undoubtedly victorious.

Soon, Guo Yan led 100,000 cavalry troops, and in the large camp of the army of the Xiliang princes, countless archers, pikemen, etc., gathered to the left side of their camp, and countless various equipment that hindered the cavalry charge were also quickly sent to the left hand side of the camp.

At this moment, Han Sui, Guo Yan, Niu Fu, Zhong Xuan, etc., none of them thought about it, they focused their defense on the left hand side of their large array, and focused all their attention on the side of the large array, and to the west, to the cavalry army of the Xiliang aliens, it was equivalent to completely undefended, which was equivalent to completely exposing their backs to the blades of the Xiliang alien army. But the ridiculous thing is that until this moment, none of them has considered that the army of Xiliang aliens will attack them.

Ma Chao, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Hua Xiong.

The four generals, galloping side by side, led 200,000 cavalry troops to advance to the camp of the allied army of the Xiliang princes north of Baohan.

The submission of the Xiliang and Qiang people made Ma Chao and others have the ticket to this victory. Therefore, it doesn't take much effort at all. It was decided to directly lead the army to the camp of the Xiliang princes.

The purpose of this is to attract the attention of the army of Xiliang princes, so that they ignore the Xiliang alien army behind them. Let the Xiliang alien army directly enter their camp from behind. In this way, in this battle, the coalition army of the Xiliang princes will be defeated.

Ma Chao and other generals led the army to kill closer, three miles, two miles......

The black cavalry charged, not to mention the momentum, even the dust raised by the horses' hooves covered the sky and the sun. All the way forward, the army was like being wrapped in a cloud of smoke and dust, and it was really a bit like the formation of heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals stepping on the clouds from the sky.

Guo Yan led 100,000 cavalry troops from the camp of the Xiliang princes.

When he saw the overwhelming cavalry of the New Han Army, he regretted why he agreed to Han Sui and personally led the army to meet the enemy.

Because, in his own camp and in his own army array, it is one feeling to see the cavalry of the New Han Army galloping from a distance, and it is another feeling to face the army of the New Han Army directly.

Looking at it from a distance, although he felt awe-inspiring and a little panicked, after all, he hadn't officially played against it, and he couldn't feel the sense of tension and oppression that was immersive and blocking his edge, and he felt a sense of pressure at the purpose of this edge, looking at the surging cavalry army, he directly had a feeling of being out of breath.

At this moment, before he knew it, he was sweating like rain, and his hands felt very heavy, as if he couldn't even lift his weapon.

How dare he, as Han Sui said, really dare to intercept the cavalry army of the New Han Army head-on? He had a feeling that if he really dared to lead the army to block the cavalry of the New Han Army in the front, he might be crushed by the wave of the New Han Army's cavalry like a huge current in the next moment, and his bones would be gone.

Without hesitation, with a shout, Guo Yan led the army to go out diagonally, not daring to face the cavalry army of the New Han Army head-on. (To be continued......)
