The 2,000 spearmen, under the leadership of officials at all levels, set off quickly, crossed the bloody corpses lying in the middle of the wharf, stepped over pools of blood, and came to a hundred paces in front of the more than 2,000 remnants of the enemy who were in formation.

"Raise your gun—"

There was a loud bang, like a forest's spear pointing at the more than 2,000 remnants of the enemy who were terrified in the battle against the water, and the neat formation was like a steel hedgehog, pressing towards the 2,000 white wave army that had lost its sharpness step by step, and it seemed that it was impossible to see that the enemy black pressure fleet on the water a hundred steps away was rushing at high speed.

Dozens of military judges rode war horses, galloping back and forth behind the formation, their mouths constantly shouting "Ten Slashes in the Army", and the sharp blades in their hands reflected a fierce light in the sunlight.

On the position above the wharf, Liu Cun and others who came in a hurry looked silently ahead under the guidance of Liu Pi, only to hear a roar sound, and the two gun arrays finally fought into the thin military formation of the two thousand remnants of the enemy without fear of death, only to see pieces of blood mist steaming up under the scorching sun, and the sound of screams, diving, begging for mercy and running away was endless.

The remaining more than 2,000 Baibo troops finally collapsed, and nearly half of them jumped into the water to escape without waiting for the arrival of their own reinforcements who were close at hand.

"Excellent! After this battle, many good soldiers will emerge from the two thousand recruits...... Liu Bi, you did a great job! Well, I think it's time to withdraw the troops. Liu Cun praised in a low voice.

"Yes!"

Liu Pi turned around and gave the order loudly, and the rapid sound of the gong soon sounded, and the two thousand spearmen who were fighting bravely with the Bai Bo army who kept jumping off the boat. In the shouts of the officers. Swiftly retreat backwards.

Dozens of military judges who originally wielded sharp blades to supervise the battle. Very skillfully out of the way, quickly assembled into a group, beat the horses and rushed to the enemy troops who were constantly pouring up the docks, wielding sharp long knives and slashing hard, killing dozens of enemy soldiers chasing the spearmen with great ease, forcing thousands of enemies to retreat and form a formation, and then calmly beat the horses and retreated to their own position.

Two thousand spearmen had not yet returned to the blocking position, and three thousand crossbowmen again entered the blocking trenches. In addition, more than 8,000 foot soldiers and crossbowmen continued to enter the flank and rear positions.

Seeing this, Liu Cun nodded reassuringly, pointed to the Han Siam flag that was suddenly erected on the dock, and whispered a few words to Liu Pi, and then rushed to the second blocking position to arrange it nervously.

At this moment, Li Lebu in the southern city suddenly launched, and more than 3,000 elite cavalry of the Baibo Army, under the leadership of the general Li Le and the deputy general Hu Jie, rushed out of the north gate that was opened violently. Fearless of death, he shouted in unison and killed Guan Hai and his 5,000 soldiers who were waiting for the battle.

……

It was learned that reinforcements from the North Shore had arrived. Under the leadership of Li Le, the cavalry of the 3,000 Baibo Army rumbled out of the north gate and launched a decisive charge with indomitable momentum.

Li Le, a battle-hardened general, knew in his heart that this was the only chance for him and his thousands of elites to break out of the encirclement and join up with the 50,000 reinforcements who came to the rescue from the north bank.

After half an hour of repeated observation, Li Le and his generals and colonels saw very clearly that tens of thousands of reinforcements from their army had crossed the river, posing a huge threat to the Qingzhou Army, which had a comparable strength.

At this time, tens of thousands of Qingzhou troops besieging the city were being mobilized nervously, especially outside the north city gate where the construction of the blocking trench had not yet been completed, the 5,000 cavalry of the Qingzhou army, who had been covering tens of thousands of auxiliary soldiers to dig and build blocking fortifications, had already hurried away and quickly rushed to the direction of the ferry more than ten miles away to the north.

You don't need to guess Li Le to know that the other party is going to mobilize heavy troops to block the soldiers and horses of the headquarters that come to help, leaving only about 5,000 foot soldiers to block outside the north city gate.

Li Le decisively seized the opportunity, taking advantage of the opportunity that the more than 10,000 Qingzhou army auxiliaries outside the north city gate had not yet completed the digging of the trench, he must lead more than 3,000 elite cavalry to charge quickly, break through the 5,000 Qingzhou army infantry in one fell swoop, and quickly rush to the north ferry to meet the tens of thousands of reinforcements of the marshal Han Xianam.

Otherwise, once the main force of tens of thousands of Qingzhou troops repelled the men and horses of the headquarters who crossed the river to help, they would definitely turn around and attack the city in a big way, trapping him to death in the small city of Shaanxi.

How did Li Le, who personally led the soldiers and horses to shout to speed up, know that he had been tricked.

It was precisely because Liu Cun, the commander of the Qingzhou Army, was unwilling to launch a siege battle with heavy casualties, that when the enemy's reinforcements arrived in a big way, he planned and dispatched 5,000 cavalry of the Fourth Division outside the North City Gate to rush to the northern ferry, deliberately causing signs of insufficient troops outside the North City Gate due to the hasty mobilization, and inducing Li Le's troops who were trapped in the city to break through the city and break through the siege, so as to conduct a field battle.

Thousands of cavalry, under the leadership of Li Le, gradually increased their speed, and the ground within a radius of several miles was in the sound of thunderous horses' hooves, dust and smoke billowing and shaking.

More than 3,000 elites in a cone-shaped formation formed a cavalry gallop on the field, holding high swords and guns, shouting in unison, and quickly crashing into the Qingzhou army spear formation that was waiting in front of them.

Hearing the sound of war drums, the 5,000 Qingzhou Army Gun Formation suddenly reacted in a way that shocked Li Le.

The 5,000 well-armed spearmen suddenly turned around and retreated, and the more than 300 driving crossbows that had been quietly arranged in the formation were mobilized in advance, revealing their hideous faces.

Before Li Le's 3,000 elite horsemen, who were rushing at high speed, approached 100 paces, the war drums of the Qingzhou Army suddenly changed, and more than 300 ballistas lined up in a line launched a salvo.

More than 300 large crossbow arrows like spears roared out in an instant, and the 2,000 crossbowmen who were half-crouching behind the array immediately stood up in response, and in the sound of orders, launched round after round of projectiles at the cavalry of the White Polish Army who were desperately rushing forward.

"Shhhh

The war horse neighed fiercely!

In the blink of an eye, the 3,000 cavalry of Li Lebu's army turned over on their backs, and dozens of war horses that were pierced by the giant crossbow fell to the ground unwillingly in the tragic scream, rolling and sliding with a huge impact inertia.

The horses that followed them and had no time to dodge were tripped in an instant, and the cavalry on the horses were either thrown high or shot through by a steady stream of crossbows and arrows.

In the blink of an eye, nearly half of the three thousand high-speed charging elite horsemen fell, and the battlefield half a mile wide was filled with blood mist, wails were endless, and the dust stirred up was rolling all over the sky.

"Hurry back, hurry back! Back into the city—"

Li Le, who struggled to pull away the two giant crossbows, shouted desperately, and when he looked around, he found that there were fewer and fewer soldiers following him, and the shock formation with heavy casualties was chaotic......

Listening to a loud "bang", the spear in the hand of the main general Li Le flew into the air with a huge crossbow fired at high speed, and the huge impact shook him to tear his mouth and dislocate his shoulder.

Pieces of crossbow arrows flew like locusts, and followed.

In the chaos, the frightened Li Le subconsciously tightened the reins, turned around and fled, but hundreds of sharp arrows had already shrouded him, shooting Li Le and more than a dozen guards around him into hedgehogs.

Li Le's majestic Western Regions war horse screamed and screamed, jumped with more than ten sharp arrows, and then fell into a pool of blood, screaming and convulsing.
