Gao Huan took the lead in riding the frog treasure horse and rushed to the front, the dense flying arrows shot over the head and face, he used the small round shield he carried on his chest, the whole person leaned over the horse, and the steel helmet on his head only showed two eyes to look ahead. He felt that his breathing and heartbeat were getting faster and faster, masking the deafening neighing of people and horses, and the dense black dots in front of him gradually turned into a phalanx of silver light, showing more and more clearly in front of him.

"It's a sword and shield array, pay attention to your pace and rhythm!" Gao Huan turned around and shouted to the soldiers behind him, the cavalry had gradually mastered the key points and precautions for breaking through the tearing and cutting of the opponent's sword and shield array under He Basheng's personal training. But this is the first time to fight, and Gao Huan and everyone are not sure of such a tactic.

It was too late to think about it, only to see a spear shooting at Gao Huan at a rapid pace, he hurriedly lowered his head and lay on the back of the horse, so that the general would avoid this attack, and people behind him kept being shot and fell off the horse.

With a loud bang, Gao Huan's frog treasure horse unfortunately hit the sword and shield array, this nearly two-meter-high wall can't even cross the BMW, Gao Huan was almost thrown off the horse, fortunately he clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and his left hand tightly grabbed the horse's reins.

More and more cavalry rushed behind him, most of them were blocked by the formation wall like Gao Huan, and a few people crossed over, and they were pulled off their horses and hacked to death behind the formation wall without a few flutters.

Gao Huan looked up and saw that the catapult behind the enemy army was loading, if he didn't break through the sword and shield array in front of him, his thousands of troops and horses behind him would be devastated. He dismounted and drew his sword and shouted, "All dismount and fight, set up a formation!" ”

After that, the cavalry all dismounted and set up an arrow array, and the whole phalanx was like a sharp arrow, and it was necessary to tear a hole and defeat the sword and shield array.

The horse army's foot combat is a taboo for soldiers, and Gao Huan himself put himself in a desperate situation, and he also put the 100,000 horses who followed him into a desperate situation of death.

I saw him pull out his ancestral Pu knife, hold a small round shield in his hand to protect his chest, and cheer himself up with the loud sound of the knife hitting the shield, and the sergeants behind him followed him, shouting in their mouths: "Kill!" There was a metal crashing sound, and the momentum began to rise.

Yuwentai's sword and shield array was unmoved, and he had no intention of retreating at all, Gao Huan rushed forward first, jumped up and slammed into the sword and shield array like an iron wall with his own gravity. The two groups of people rushed together, and the huge impact force made the two columns of sword and shield formations in the front row start to be a little chaotic.

Gao Huan saw the opportunity to slash left and right and cut down several local infantry swordsmen, and the people behind immediately rushed up, and finally tore a gap. Suddenly, a large number of spear teams with nearly two meters long appeared behind the sword and shield array, and they were stabbing the cavalry who had finally rushed in one by one, and the battle situation was completely developing in the direction that was unfavorable to them.

Gao Huan stood in front of him with a large number of black pressure knife hands, there were not many soldiers behind him, and he was also a little prostration, this battle lasted for nearly half an hour, and he rushed left and right in the sword and shield array for a long time, but he had not been able to break through Yuwentai's first line of defense.

I only heard a loud bang behind me, and my troops were being hit by Yuwentai's slinging troops, and there were heavy casualties everywhere.

A spear suddenly stabbed in front of him, Gao Huan subconsciously dodged, grabbed the spear and pulled it hard, a soldier was dragged out, Gao Huan raised the knife in his hand, and without even blinking his eyes, he hacked the person to death. At this moment, she had no time to be afraid, to think, only to find a way to get out of the battle and reorganize the troops. It is taboo for the main general to go into battle to kill the enemy. Today's battle is very important to him, but he has committed several taboos one after another, is he really dying in a fancy way?

No, he wanted to tell Yuwentai about his strength, he wanted the soldiers behind him to know that they were not fighting alone, and Gao Huan, as the main general, was also fighting side by side with them.

Gao Huan raised his arms and shouted: "Soldiers, today is our final battle, so that we can stain the battlefield with blood and kill together!" Then he turned around and charged at the enemy group again. The few soldiers behind him followed him to make a death charge again.

Breathing heavier and heavier, Gao Huan felt that his head was blank, and he only repeated a few actions numb mechanically: dodge the attack to kill the enemy, continue to dodge the attack and continue to kill the enemy. The shouts of the people and the roar of the stones in his ears made him a little scared, was the decision he had made really the right one? Is this self-defeating?

At the moment when he was deeply trapped in the enemy's position, suddenly a ballista appeared in his own troops behind him and began to attack, this kind of long-range positional warfare attack equipment was transferred by Murong Heng from the arsenal of the Inner Palace, although it is not as powerful as the stone throwing, but it is very effective to break through the enemy's defensive formation in a small area, nearly two and a half meters long and twenty centimeters wide, and a sharpened long wood is installed on the leather shooting rack, and a cannon at the sword and shield array fifty meters away can hit the opposite side.

"My day, why didn't you put on such a powerful weapon earlier? Almost died at the hands of the enemy. The more Gao Huan thought about it, the more frightened he became, so he shouted: "All the cavalry get on their horses and evacuate, all retreat, and let the ballistas open the way for us!" ”

This is Yuwentai's left and right armies have begun to move, this is a well-trained heavily armed cavalry, with high mobility and defense, all armed with long knives, slashing one by one, and the infantry formation is completely unable to defend.

Seeing that the forward troops of his ballista were about to be surrounded and annihilated, Gao Huan quickly ran back to the position alone, threw his helmet and grabbed the longbow of an archer, and said loudly: "Prepare to release arrows, use fire arrows!" The cavalry retreated to the main position in the center, and the archers on both sides rushed forward, forming a semi-encircled glaive array. Gao Huan also wanted to get an arrow when he pulled the longbow in his hand, but suddenly felt that the bow in his hand was as hard as a stone and couldn't be pulled away at all, what a strong bow!

The hoplites on the opposite side were shot by a burst of fire arrows, and after being hit by the arrows, they were on fire, falling off their horses and struggling and screaming in pain, and the few who were not hit by the arrows had rushed to only fifty meters away from the main position, and the roar of the horses' hooves and shouts of killing became clearer and clearer, Gao Huan was not making a blind decision: he went into battle and killed.

"Spear team ready!" Gao Huan shouted to the troops behind him, he also has a spear ice that specializes in dealing with cavalry, but he doesn't know if he can resist the impact of the heavy soldiers.

The spears in the front row are laid flat, the second row is raised at an angle of 45 degrees, and the third row is raised towards the sky.

But in the face of the heavy soldiers, the lethal effect is very limited, many cavalry rushed to the ballista near the artillery, Gao Huan saw this and flew on the horse, drew his sword and shouted: "The cavalry team attacked, follow me!" Then he attacked again.

The disadvantage of the hoplite cavalry compared to the light cavalry is that it is not flexible, Gao Huan took out a very thick rope and let a young general tie it around his waist, and he took the other two people to run in the opposite direction, and then the rope was pulled into a straight tripping rope, rushing towards Yuwentai's hoplite cavalry who was slaughtering the ballista troops.

His purpose was not to stumble, he didn't have that much strength, he just took the horsemen who were slashing on their horses off their horses, and then his own light cavalry behind him could go up and harvest the heads.

But to Gao Huan's surprise, his tripping horse was successful, but due to the high defense of the heavy cavalry, although the light cavalry fought hard to kill the enemy, but the price they paid was quite high, and Gao Huan's elite losses were very large.

Just as Gao Huan's cavalry was still fighting with the enemy in a chaotic battle, Yuwentai's heavily armed infantry began to invest, with neat steps, sophisticated equipment, and momentum approaching step by step.

In the face of these infantry, if Gao Huan had another cavalry team in his hand, there would still be hope of victory, but now his elite cavalry team was exhausted in the initial charge and the battle with the heavy cavalry just now, where is there any living force to support. At this moment, a large number of banners of the Guanzhong army suddenly appeared behind the position, and at this time, was he spanked and burst chrysanthemums? He's really a little desperate now, is he really going to die here?

The force that appeared behind Gao Huan was indeed Yuwentai's elite horse infantry army, although the number was not large, there were five thousand people, but this well-equipped army was put into the battlefield It was tantamount to announcing the defeat of Gao Huan's army, and they were surrounded and annihilated.

The rear team was already in disarray, and some people began to throw away their flags and weapons and start fleeing. Gao Huan threw away the Pu knife in his hand like ashes, and there were only two words in his mind: It's over. He was going to die before he could meet his unborn child? Accidentally lose everything, this is the consequence of his carelessness, he completely underestimated Yuwentai in terms of weaponry and personnel quality, and was wiped out, reputation or anything is not very important, the key is that he can't die now, if he dies, what will happen to Erzhu Caihuang and Lou Mingchun? And their own children, parents, sisters and brothers, what will happen to them?

Suddenly, a general shook vigorously and shouted loudly, which made Gao Huan, whose head was already blank, react: "King, our reinforcements have arrived!" Look at our reinforcements arriving! ”

"Reinforcements?" Gao Huan repeated these two words expressionlessly, he didn't remember that he had arranged reinforcements, only to see those hoplites being rushed from the flank by a cavalry from the flank, and quickly scattered in formation, falling into a melee.

Whose troops are this? I saw that it was Murong Shaozong who rushed over first. Wasn't he the main force besieging Erzhu Zhao in Shangdang? How did it come out here? Gao Huan thought to himself.

Murong Shaozong dismounted, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "The last general was ordered to come to help in the battle, and there was a delay on the way, hoping that the king will forgive his sins." ”

Gao Huan rekindled the hope of life in his heart, as the so-called catastrophe will be blessed if you don't die, it seems that I haven't died yet. Thinking of this, he immediately began to deploy: "You have come just in time, I now order your cavalry troops to be sure to hold off the enemy's infantry and buy time for the ballista team." Then he said to the few guards around him: "Get on your horses and follow me to destroy the enemy forces behind first." ”

The battle situation changed rapidly, after Murong Shaozong's cavalry entered the battle, Yuwentai's hoplites began to retreat, and Gao Huan killed all the five thousand enemy troops behind him, and then with a wave of the command flag, Murong Shaozong's cavalry began to attack Yuwentai's Chinese army without flank protection on the left and right. Gao Huan's ballista took the field again to compete with Yuwentai's catapult.

Due to the decrease in the density of personnel, the power of the slings gradually did not appear, and the ballista was more flexible and lightweight, and could be transferred with the position, and the power increased a lot.

The situation is already quite unfavorable for Yuwentai, and the rout is only a matter of time. But he got an important piece of news: the emperor, with the assistance of Xie Jindou, had escaped from Luoyang and went straight to Tongguan. Although he lost to Gao Huan on the battlefield, he still won strategically, so he gave an expressionless order: Mingjin collected his troops and retreated.
