"Kill!" The Xiliang army advanced to a place only more than 200 steps away from Liu Bianjun, and an infantry general, armed with a double axe, shouted loudly, and took the lead in rushing towards Liu Bianjun.

More than 20,000 officers and soldiers of Xiliang followed this military general with a roar like a roar of wild waves, and pounced on Liu Weijun's Mo knife formation.

The Xiliang army in black armor was like a surging black wave, shouting and roaring towards Liu Bianjun's Mo knife formation, and the expressions of every Xiliang officer and soldier were very hideous, as if they were eager to rush to Liu Bianjun's formation immediately, tear those officers and soldiers in red armor to pieces, and swallow them alive in their stomachs.

Liu Bianjun's different arms formed an independent phalanx to meet the enemy, while Zhang Ji's strategy was to concentrate all his forces and point his troops at one point, striving to break through the Modao formation of Liu Bianjun, which seemed to be the most threatening.

The Xiliang army launched an attack on all fronts, and the officers and soldiers of the Modao Formation led by Dian Wei clenched the hilts of their swords with both hands, and their eyes stared at the enemy troops rushing towards them.

In front of the Modao Formation, the Pudao Battalion, which formed a shield wall, naturally spread out to both sides while the Xiliang Army launched a charge, forming a wing-shaped protection around the Modao Formation.

And the strong crossbow battalion behind the Mo Dao Formation, with a strong crossbow in its hand, aimed at the Xiliang army that was charging.

There is an essential difference between charging and advancing in formation, although the advance in formation is slow and does not have a strong impact force, but the officers and men can form a tight protection between their shields, and it is difficult for the oncoming arrows to cause a wide range of casualties to the officers and soldiers who are advancing forward.

But the charge is completely different, because of the difference in the speed of the officers and soldiers, it is difficult to maintain the same formation, everyone can only rely on the shield in their hands to protect themselves, and they cannot rely on the shields of their companions to protect themselves. Once attacked by arrows, the damage taken is extremely fatal.

The arrows fired by Liu Bianjun's strong crossbow battalion were fired in rows and continuously. Although there were only a few thousand strong crossbowmen, the arrows flew in mid-air, but they were also like a thick curtain of arrows, and the Xiliang army that was charging only felt that the arrows flying above their heads almost completely obscured the sunlight.

A puff of arrows flew into the Xiliang army that was running fast and launched a charge, and with the "whoosh" sound of the arrow breaking through the air, one by one the Xiliang officers and soldiers were shot by the arrows and fell to the ground.

More than 20,000 heavy infantry of the Xiliang Army were like a tide, and although some of the fallen Xiliang Army in front of them were shot, they did not hurt the vital point, and they were trying to struggle to get up, but they were trampled on the ground by the companions who rushed up from behind.

Many Xiliang officers and soldiers who did not die under the arrows after falling to the ground were trampled into bloody corpses by their own companions.

The arrows flew towards the running Xiliang Army, but the black torrent of the Xiliang Army was surging towards Liu Weijun's Mo Dao Array without stopping.

Immediately behind the heavy infantry of the Western Liang Army were more than 3,000 archers armed with longbows.

With the help of the cover of the heavy infantry, the archers of the Western Liang Army quickly entered the effective range of the longbow, and just when they had just set up their longbows and were about to fire arrows at Liu Bianjun's Mo knife array, Zhou Cheng, the Hanoi general who was arrayed in the west, raised his spear, pointed at the bow and arrow formation of the Xiliang army, and shouted: "The cavalry breaks through the enemy's bow and arrow array!" ”

The two thousand Hanoi cavalry shouted in unison, and rode their horses towards the longbow formation of the Xiliang army.

Standing under the banner of the Chinese army, looking at the Xiliang army that was charging, Liu Wei did not order the only remaining 1,000 cavalry around him to enter the battlefield.

Behind him, 5,000 officers and soldiers of Zhou Cang and Han Xian's subordinates lined up in a neat formation, guarding the Chinese army, watching the battlefield from afar.

The longbow soldiers of the Xiliang Army entered the effective firing range without the slightest delay, and immediately fired a wave of arrows at Liu Bianjun's Mo Sword Formation.

Thousands of arrows roared towards the Mo Sword Array, and the Mo Sword Soldier standing in the second row hurriedly took off the round shield behind his back, raised his feet and stepped forward, blocking the shield in front of his companions.

After all, the shields of the officers and soldiers of Liu Wei were a little too small, and a puff of arrows flew into the Modao array array, and many officers and soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, and the neat array suddenly appeared one by one due to the fall of the officers and soldiers.

Standing under the banner of the Chinese army and watching the battlefield, Liu Wei, seeing that the Modao Array had little defensive ability under the long-range attack of the enemy archers, his brows tightened again.

The battle of Zhongtiao Mountain proved that the spear formation was difficult to withstand the attack of the enemy's heavy infantry, and the battle of Wude just proved that the Modao array was under the attack of the enemy's longbow, as if it was completely naked and withstanding the enemy's attack.

The two wars confirmed Liu Wei's failure to improve the defensive formation twice, and what Liu Wei thought in his heart at this time was that after returning from Yanzhou, he must improve the defensive formation for the third time.

The tide-like Xiliang army roared angrily and rushed to the front of Liu Weijun's Mo sword formation, while the longbowmen of the Xiliang army turned the direction of the longbow at this time and aimed at the Hanoi cavalry rushing towards them.

With a loud bang when the blades and shields collided, the torrent of the Xiliang Army finally hit the Mo Sword Formation of Liu Bianjun, who had been waiting for a long time.

The officers and soldiers of Liu Wei, who were holding the Mo knife in both hands, picked up the Mo knife and slashed at the head of the Xiliang army who rushed up, and the Xiliang officers and soldiers also held a shield in one hand to cover it, and the short spear in the other hand kept stabbing forward.

The heavy Mo knife was sharp, but the weight was comparable to a hammer, and the blade smashed on the shield in the hands of the Xiliang Army, and the wooden shield could not withstand the slashing of the Mo knife at all, and many of the shields in the hands of the Xiliang Army were split by the Mo knife of the officers and soldiers of Liu Wei, and together with the person holding the shield, they were split in two.

Pieces of shattered shields flew in all directions, and together with corpses with blood shots, they fell to the ground, and were immediately trampled under the feet of the soldiers who rushed to kill on both sides.

The heavy infantry of the Western Liang Army was still swooping towards Liu Bianjun's Mo Dao formation, and the Pu Dao battalion, which had withdrawn to the two flanks earlier, also inserted itself into the ribs of the Western Liang Army at this time.

At the same time, Zhou Cheng, who had been watching the battle from the west, raised his spear forward and shouted to the heavy infantry array of the Hanoi Army behind him: "Infantry charge!" ”

Six thousand officers and soldiers of the Hanoi Army armed with shields and short spears, received Zhou Cheng's order, and rushed from the west to the main force of the Xiliang Army, which was fighting with Liu Weijun.

The cavalry of the Hanoi Army was subjected to long-range shooting by the longbow formation of the Xiliang Army at this time.

The arrows roared and flew towards the Hanoi cavalry who were charging quickly, and the cavalry and war horses were hit by the arrows and fell on the battlefield, but more Hanoi cavalry shouted and rushed towards the longbow formation of the Xiliang army.

"Strong crossbow array, interspersed with advancement!" At the moment when the Hanoi cavalry had already rushed into the longbow formation of the Xiliang Army, brandishing their weapons and slashing the archers of the Xiliang Army, Hu Cai, who had been waiting for a little restless, shouted, and rushed out of the flank of the battlefield on horseback.

Thousands of crossbowmen put down the crossbows in their hands, followed Hu Cai to avoid the battlefield where they were fighting, and made a detour from the side, rushing towards the flank of the battlefield.

"Not good!" Zhang Ji, who was watching the battlefield from afar, saw that thousands of Liu Bianjun were making a detour to the flank, shouted, and shouted to the soldiers beside him: "Urgently order to compress the Chinese army, line up a shield array, and beware of the enemy's strong crossbow!" ”

While shouting this, Zhang Ji felt a burst of chagrin in his heart. Earlier, he found that Yang Feng led 2,000 cavalry passing by the flank of the army, and only thought that he would not be copied by the heavy cavalry of Liu Bianjun's army, so he sent almost all the heavy cavalry out of Lu to pursue Yang Feng's cavalry.

It wasn't until he entered the battlefield and the two armies were fighting in one place that Zhang Ji could see from Liu Bianjun's dispatch that the reason why Liu Bianjun sent cavalry to lure the enemy was to attack his Chinese army with a strong crossbow.

If there were still cavalry in the Chinese army, Zhang Ji would not have to be afraid of Liu Bianjun's strong crossbow formation at all, he only needed to send cavalry to rush and kill, and he could break the long-range attack of the strong crossbow.

Seeing that Liu Bianjun's strong crossbow battalion avoided the battlefield where he was fighting, he quickly detoured to the flank. Zhang Ji, who was stationed in the Chinese army, was neither withdrawn nor fighting.

As long as the Chinese army withdraws, the morale of the officers and men of Xiliang on the battlefield will be in turmoil, and the result of this battle is self-evident, and there is no suspense.

But the Chinese army was forced to stay, but they had to endure the ruthless rain of arrows from Liu Bianjun's strong crossbow array. There was no cavalry to deploy, and in desperation, Zhang Ji had to order the guards of the Gong Guard Central Army to immediately form a shield wall and prepare for defense.

Leading the strong crossbow battalion all the way to a place only more than a hundred steps away from Zhang Jizhong's army, Hu Cai raised his broadsword and shouted to the thousands of strong crossbowmen who followed behind him: "Array, attack Zhang Jizhong's army!" ”

The shouts on the battlefield and the flesh and blood flying. The officers and soldiers of Liu Wei, who were holding the Mo knife in both hands, brandished the heavy Mo knife and slashed down at the top of the heads of the Xiliang officers and soldiers. The Pu Dao battalion, which killed the Xiliang army from the flank, under the leadership of Zhao Yun, raised its shield, picked up the Pu knife, and launched wave after wave of collisions against the Xiliang army.

The heavy infantry of the Hanoi Army, which had just joined the battle, launched an attack on the Western Liang Army from behind. Although it had a certain numerical advantage, the Xiliang army fell into a situation of being surrounded on all sides, and it was difficult to organize an effective counterattack, and pieces of officers and soldiers fell on the battlefield under the joint attack of Liu Weijun and Hanoi's army.

After all, the Xiliang Army is not a rabble like the Yellow Turban Army, although it is facing the situation of being surrounded on all sides, but the position is not completely chaotic, the main force is still exerting pressure on the Modao Battalion of Liu Bianjun in front, and the officers and soldiers on the other three sides are desperately resisting the Pu Dao soldiers of Liu Bianjun and the heavy infantry of the Hanoi Army who attack from the flank and back.

The battlefield shouted and killed, and the Hanoi cavalry in the distance had already broken through the bow and arrow array of the Xiliang army, and the archers of the Xiliang army, who had almost no defense in front of the cavalry, retreated like a tide, while the Hanoi cavalry brandished cavalry short spears, chased after them, and stabbed the archers of the Xiliang army to the ground.

"Shoot the arrows!" With Hu Cai's shout, the officers and soldiers of Liu Bianjun's strong crossbow battalion, who had already lined up in formation, pulled off the reeds of the crossbow arrows one after another, and shot arrows at Zhang Jizhong's army.

The arrows in the sky, obscuring the daylight, flew towards Zhang Jizhong's army.

The Xiliang Army Guard, which guarded the Chinese army, held a large shield and formed a thick shield wall in front of the Chinese army, and even Zhang Ji himself jumped off his horse in desperation, snatched the shield from a soldier, and blocked in front of him.

The whistling arrows slammed into the shields in the hands of Zhang Jizhong's officers and soldiers with a powerful impact, making a muffled sound of "tuk tuk".
