In less than half an hour after the start of the war, Yingchengsky's subordinates lost 5,000 cavalry in a row, which was already a quarter of the elite soldiers that he was proud of in Qingtang headquarters. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing that the Fan soldiers did not divide their troops to attack again, Gao Changhai of the right army immediately transferred the two regiments of the headquarters to the side of Shang Huaqing and replaced them to rest, while the two regiments in front of the front were equipped with some strong crossbows, and they had not suffered a hard battle so far, and the front line was as stable as a mountain, so there was no need to change.

There are Bian Ji's 5,000 horse army four or five hundred steps away from the north, the movement of infantry troops is quite safe, and the enemy still has not moved, but Du Yanhui has just led the new force to complete the replacement, and Bian Ji suddenly sent a herald over.

"Report to the high brigade commander! After scout reconnaissance, there is an enemy army coming to the north of the battlefield, Bian Sima will lead his troops to intercept it, please deal with it independently! ”

"Got it! If you report back to Bian Sima, our department will fight to the death and strive to ensure the safety of the right side! Gao Changhai said categorically, he sent the herald away, he only learned the news just now, thinking in his heart that as long as the left army can insist, the Chinese army can still send reinforcements.

However, the situation of the left army was much worse than he had imagined, and at this time fierce fighting was raging. Hao Tianying's 3,000 horsemen defeated 5,000 cavalry, and when he was resting from the whole team, he found that the enemy Khambrang had sent 4,000 cavalry to attack both sides of the infantry formation, and wanted to go over to support, at this time, the Chinese army herald came and informed him to rush to the southeast side of the battlefield to the riverbank to block the 7,000 cavalry from the direction of Longzhu Heicheng.

"Looks like we're going to have to die!" When receiving the order of the Chinese army, Hao Tianying said in a distraught manner, he had already fought a big battle before, killed two enemy generals, and the cavalry left more than 2,000 corpses of men and horses and fled back, and his own war horses were already a little tired, and it was undoubtedly very difficult to intercept more than twice the enemy army.

"Let's fight! If you win, you can earn anything back! "The leader of the second regiment, Ming Jinpeng, was covered in blood, but he was still fine, and he didn't seem to be injured, but he was fearless.

"Go! Transfer Yao Keding's regiment to the front team, and your second regiment will go to the back to leave some seeds for our Ma Army! Hao Tianying was very distressed when he saw the wounded being carried away, and turned his head to look at the infantry formation two miles away to the north.

Hao Tianying led the horse army to form a little team, turned around and trotted east along the bank of the Huangshui River, just left the battlefield, then heard the earth-shattering shouts behind him, it seemed that the Fan people and horses were cheering, it seemed that the second line of defense of the left army was broken through by the Fan cavalry, but now it can not be taken care of.

Zhang Yue, who was watching from afar in the Chinese army, naturally saw it, and suddenly felt a little anxious in his heart, and was hesitating whether to transfer troops to support, when the enemy army actually sounded a drum at this time, instead of a horn, and was wondering to himself, the enemy army began to move again.

It seems that the left army in the north and Khambrang in the south each transferred 4,000 cavalry, flying towards their own front army from the north and south, and the rear Wenfan headquarters also came out with 4,000 cavalry, it seems that some heavy cavalry is in front of the front, but it is slowly following behind, looking at this posture, the enemy is in front of a full-scale attack.

"Herald Yang Xuanli! Shift the heavy infantry regiment to the front of the Chinese army and stand by! "Zhang Yue is actually not worried about the front army, but the Li Hui Department of the left army may not be able to withstand the pressure, but it depends on the situation.

Soon, 8,000 horsemen rushed straight to the front army, Xuan Chongwen reacted quickly, in front of the front row of guns and shields to resist the horse formation, two thousand crossbowmen who had been on standby for a long time raised the crossbow machine, and in front of the crossbowmen was a thousand light soldiers with swords and shields in front of the formation, and then immediately ran away to both sides and retreated into the horse rejection array.

Eight thousand horses galloped wildly and rushed close to three hundred paces, and suddenly found that after the sword and shield hands in front of him retreated, a long column of three horizontal crossbowmen half-crouched on the ground was revealed, and the cold light flashed in rows of arrows made people's scalps numb, but now that the war horses were running, there was no way to react.

A hundred paces of distance passed in an instant, and suddenly heard a loud shout from the front, an officer raised a small red flag, paused for a moment and waved it down violently, and the crossbow machine "clicked" crisply, followed by a roar, and a large dense small black dot flew in the air, and gradually dispersed and enlarged.

"Raise your shield!" The shield used by the Fan Cavalry is a kind of round hat-shaped, smooth surface of the pointed pot rattan shield, which is very effective against direct arrows, but the defense against strong crossbows is greatly reduced.

Porphyry ...... The arm crossbow is a strong crossbow, which can be double-shot with one crossbow and two arrows, but the loading is a little laborious, and the crossbow arrows of the solid arrow shaft and the steel sharp arrow are mostly shot through the rattan shield, but it is also difficult to hurt people because of the shield factor. Some flew from the gap and hit the ring chain mail, which had extremely strong penetrating power, and many knights fell off their horses one after another, and were trampled by the follow-up horse team in an instant.

One hundred and sixty paces, the shooting of the horned bow and crossbow was slightly worse, but it also reduced the enemy's number of hundreds of horses in one breath, and the wooden single crossbow of one hundred and twenty paces was about the same. But when they reached a hundred paces, the enemy also began to draw their bows and arrows and prepare to return fire, but the crossbow was reloaded at this time, and under the dense blows at close range, a piece fell in an instant.

The soldiers raised their crossbows at the same time to buckle the hanging knives, and then lowered the gaps to be filled, and the three rows of wooden single crossbows were immediately loaded and raised.

Dense arrows buzzed in waves, like flying locusts constantly pounced on the enemy horsemen, bringing up blood flowers, and countless war horses rushed forward and overturned, or people stood up, and the knights on their backs flew for a long time.

At this distance, the two teams of 8,000 horsemen were almost impassable, and they swooped forward and fell one after another a hundred paces away, and the men and horses piled up in a mess were churning, and the blood and water on the mountains of flesh flowed like magma erupting.

The rapid and short sound of the horn kept sounding, and the eight thousand horsemen in front of them were almost all killed and wounded, and the remaining scattered hundred or so horsemen were in a panic, beating their horses and running away on both sides, watching from a distance with palpitations.

And Wen Qishi, who was following behind, was ready to lead four thousand horses to pick up the cheap, and the speed of the horse had not yet been raised, so he had to stop the horse team and began to slowly turn around and retreat.

The heavy blow brought by the strong crossbow made the knight's spirit plummet, and when he saw that the enemy army was really sad for a hundred steps, Zhang Yue had already sent someone to pass the order and transfer a thousand heavy infantry to the left army. At this time, the last line of defense of Li Hui's Jingyan Army also showed a large depression, and it was almost on the verge of collapse.

As soon as the heavy infantry group arrived, after completing the formation, Li Hui's face turned pale, and he couldn't wait to withdraw the defensive line, and the cavalry cheered and rushed in, but they were greeted by a bronze wall and an iron wall, tall and tall, wearing heavy armor and armor on their heads.

A faint sword light flashed, thinking that he had broken the formation, and the first to rush in at close range had not yet reacted, and suddenly found that his war horse, the entire horse head actually flew away, and then rolled out with the war horse an upside-down onion, and several cowhide boots inlaid with jet-black armor stepped down, and he was suddenly unconscious.

The first two rows of knife hands waved the long knives at once, and each row of large blades cut down, almost all of them were broken, and the three rows of axe handles were shorter, which could be used flexibly to pick up leaks.

Running away from both sides, there were also hammermen waiting for them, and this short soldier was more agile and fought in groups of three skirmishers in the rear. Although the handle of the hammer is short, the mass-produced cold-forged heavy armor imitating Qingtang can be defended, but no living thing can withstand their hammer.

The heavy infantry quickly contained the onslaught of the enemy, Li Hui saw it behind, and ordered the whole army to encircle and suppress from the two breads, and the more than 1,000 horsemen who broke into the formation were blocked from retreating, and at the same time lost their horse speed and became a live target.

The outside had not yet rushed in, just heard the order to retreat from the Chinese army, so they began to turn around one after another, but it was easy to come, but it was difficult to go, the horse rejection arrays on both sides suddenly dispersed, and a team of archers opened their bows and released arrows, leaving hundreds of horsemen.

Wen Qishi was forced to retreat to the Chinese army, and the failure of this round of main attack made Wen Fan's face very ugly, and Tanma reported back to the southeast Wen Nai Kui Division, and the Zhuo Luo Zun Division in the north was still fighting with the Zhou Army Horse Team, which made him lose ground, whether to continue the attack, or to withdraw, and immediately hesitated.
