Seeing his subordinates returning again in vain, Shi Hu's face was gloomy, he had forgotten that this was the first time he had been defeated from Guanggu City, and he only remembered that the Qianhu army was stubbornly driven down the city wall by the defenders in the city again and again, and he was never able to step into Guanggu City.

Shi Hu didn't think of using other means, such as threatening Cao Wei to surrender by slaughtering the Jin people, but unfortunately as soon as he put forward this idea, everyone unanimously opposed it, and even Taobao, Taobao and others from Qihu did not agree.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the army is trapped in a fortified city, it is impossible to break the deadlock, so let's talk about what to do next?"

Li Nong glanced at Shi Hu, and said: "Lord, we can no longer continue to spend endlessly on the siege, the tenacity of the defenders has exceeded our expectations, judging from the current situation, we can't take Guanggu with the current strength alone." ”

And according to the scout's report, the main force of the Liaodong reinforcements has gradually approached Guanggu. In case it takes the opportunity to sneak attack our army, and is caught off guard, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

"General Li is too worried, right? Even though our army has been defeated under the city of Guanggu for several days, the lost troops are all infantry, and our cavalry is still intact. Even if it is attacked by the Liaodong Army, there will be no losses, right? Peach Leopard said disapprovingly.

Shi Hu didn't care about the peach leopard, but looked at Li Nong seriously and asked, "In the opinion of the people, how should our army respond?" ”

"Lord, the reason why the defenders in the city resist stubbornly is only to rely on the Liaodong Army as foreign aid, if our army can break the Liaodong reinforcements in one fell swoop under the noses of the defenders, it will definitely be able to deter the defenders in the city, and then go down without a fight!"

"What do the people mean to plan and start a decisive battle with the Liaodong Army?"

"Yes!"

……

Yang Hu, who was in charge of commanding the battle in Qingzhou, was very uneasy when he learned that Shi Hu had stopped attacking Guanggu. He knew that his plan had been discovered by Shi Hu, and it was impossible to carry out the sneak attack plan again.

Yang Que was born in the military academy, and before every military operation, he always habitually wanted to take everything into his own hands.

After repeated consideration and deduction over and over again, in the end, Yang Hu decided to strike first and immediately led the army to set off.

In order to fight the decisive battle with Hu Lu, Yang Hu used a total of 30,000 foot cavalry, including 1,000 Mo swordsmen.

In the second year of Taixing, in October, Yang Hu led the army from Changguang County, crossed the entire Beihai County, drove all the way straight in, and arrived at the city of Guanggu in mid-October, where he encountered a 40,000 Qianhu army that was waiting for him, of which 30,000 cavalry were intact.

Both sides didn't talk nonsense, they both wanted to decide the ownership of Qingzhou by force, so the battle soon began.

These cavalrymen riding high horses, they have crisscrossed the Central Plains and Hebei in recent years, rarely encountered opponents, and once fought the Jin army from all walks of life without the strength to fight back, so that they developed an arrogant atmosphere.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Qianhu cavalry, the Jin people are definitely not their opponents, even if the other party is the famous Liaodong Army, they are still not taken into account by the Qianhu people.

So at the beginning of the battle, the 30,000 cavalry fanatically brandished their swords and rushed forward with shouts. I thought that this time it would be the same as before, with just one charge, I could rush those weak Jin army fronts to pieces, and then let them slaughter them at will.

Facing the Qianhu cavalry, which was in full swing, Yang Hu did not follow the practice of the spear formation in front of the Liaodong Army when fighting, but changed slightly. He uncharacteristically placed the crossbowmen and archers at the front, and behind the three rows of crossbowmen was the Mo Knife Bearer, who existed as a killer weapon.

At this time, Yang Hu looked coldly at the Qianhu cavalry who rushed up, and his face was expressionless. After the other party entered the range of the crossbowmen, Jia Jian, who was in charge of commanding the crossbowmen, gave an order, and hundreds of strong crossbows shot out a dense number of crossbow arrows at the same time.

In an instant, the crossbow arrows like locusts shot the Qianhu cavalry who rushed in front of them one after another.

But the killing of the crossbow bolts was not enough to make the cavalry timid, but it aroused the brutality in their hearts, and they still rushed forward with a howl and madness. In their impression, the archers of the Jin army were very slow to shoot, and basically without waiting for the opponent to shoot three rounds, the Qihu cavalry could often rush over with superb horsemanship, and then they could slash and slash wildly.

However, this time it seemed that contrary to the expectations of the Qianhu people, the crossbowmen of the Liaodong Army took a three-stage shot, forming an impenetrable rain of arrows. No matter how hard the cavalry tried, they could not break through the blockade of the crossbowmen.

Although the two sides were only separated by more than 100 paces, a death zone was formed at this distance of 100 paces, and the cavalry could not cross it in any way.

In just a few incense sticks, the Qianhu cavalry left a corpse in front of the two armies.

Shi Hu, Li Nong, Tao Leopard, Kong Chang, Zhang Jackal and others, who were in charge of commanding in the rear, were completely shocked when they saw the scene in front of them!

The huge casualties finally chilled the hearts of the Qianhu cavalry, who had never been timid, and more and more Qianhu cavalry began to retreat into the distance, trying to avoid the shooting of the Liaodong army's crossbowmen. It's a pity that the Qianhu cavalry underestimated the range of the Liaodong Army's strong crossbows, even if they retreated to a distance of three hundred paces, they would still be shot by the powerful bed crossbows.

The invincible Qianhu cavalry was frightened by the bed crossbows of the Liaodong army, and many Hu people no longer cared about what they were rushing to kill, and turned their horses and ran to the rear. However, these Qianhu cavalry who left the battlefield without permission did not have any good luck, but were directly cut down by the overseers behind.

After Yang Hu saw the movements of the Qianghu Governor's team through the clairvoyant mirror, his heart was awe-struck, and he said secretly: It seems that the Qianghu cavalry has been invincible in battles over the years, and it has nothing to do with such a strict military law.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Hu found that the crossbowmen had disrupted the formation of the cavalry, and it was just time for his cavalry to give full play to their strengths, so he shouted: "Cavalry attack!" ”

On both wings, the 20,000 cavalry, who had long been impatient, immediately urged the war horses under their crotches, and under the command of Duan Wenyang, Yao Lan, Yao Yisheng and other cavalry generals, they outflanked the unstable Qihu cavalry from the left and right sides with their sabers.

In the blink of an eye, the cavalry of the Liaodong Army rushed into the army of the Qianhu people, and the sabers in their hands were like devils seeking their lives, and all those who were responsible were split into two pieces.

Originally, the Qianhu people had been killed by the crossbowmen, and the fighting spirit was exhausted, and in the face of the sharp Liaodong iron cavalry, they could only retreat step by step, if it weren't for the harsh military law of the Qianhu people, I am afraid that they would have collapsed long ago.

Li Nong's face was pale, and his mouth trembled: "I have long heard that Liaodong armor is extremely good at using crossbows, and I have always had doubts before. But when I saw today's scene, I understood what it means to be lonely. After this battle, our army will change color when it hears the Liaodong bed crossbow. In the future, if you encounter the crossbowmen of the Liaodong Army, you will no longer be able to rush up like today. ”

Shi Hu also nodded in agreement, he didn't order a retreat just now, he didn't test the bottom line of the crossbowmen of the Liaodong Army, but he didn't expect that he would not be able to break through the crossbowmen blockade of the Liaodong Army after losing thousands of cavalry.

However, at this time, Shi Hu had not yet lost confidence in defeating the Liaodong Army, because the killer weapon in his hand - the heavy cavalry and the black lance dragon army had not yet been dispatched. In Shi Hu's opinion, although the crossbow soldiers of the Liaodong Army were very sharp, they were still powerless in the face of heavy cavalry.

"Order Peach Leopard and Zhang Jackal, let them disperse the cavalry formation and make way for the heavy cavalry!"

He had great hopes for this trump card in his hand, after all, not only because the Black Lance Dragon Horse Army was the most powerful cavalry in the Karma Horse, but also because the Black Lance Dragon Horse Army had never failed on the battlefield since its formation. Shi Hu was full of confidence in the Black Lance Dragon Army, and he believed that using this ace cavalry well would be enough to turn defeat into victory and defeat the Liaodong Army in front of him.

Hu Ren's abnormal movements were naturally in Yang Yu's eyes, but his face was not wavering, and he had already planned a countermeasure in his heart.

At this time, Chen An, who was in charge of commanding the Mo knife hand, came over and shouted excitedly: "Shiqiu, you fought this battle so beautifully!" ”

Yang Hu smiled slightly and said, "General Chen, it's up to you next, how are you preparing?" Is there confidence? ”

Chen An patted his chest and said: "Please rest assured, Shiqiu, this battle Lao Tzu will tell those barbarians that they have been lawless and uncontrollable in the Central Plains over the years, not how powerful they are, but that my Liaodong Army didn't care about cleaning them up!" ”

"Good! The general is brave, and the general is waiting for the general's good news! (To be continued.) )
