From the number of arrows shot from the southern wall of Gaoyang City, Wang Meng could judge that the Yan army defending the south gate of Gaoyang City was only a few hundred people, that is to say, the main force under the command of Murong Ping was very likely to have withdrawn from Gaoyang City, leaving a small number of men and horses responsible for containment.

"General Wang, the Yan army has almost no ability to resist, and it seems that its main army has withdrawn." Deng Qiang looked at Wang Meng and said with a frown.

"That's right, if Murong Ping's 50,000 men and horses are still in the city, they will never deploy such a scarce army and horses in the direction of the south gate, judging from the current situation, Murong Ping's main force must have evacuated Gaoyang City." Zhuge Xiong said affirmatively.

Wang Meng nodded and said softly, "You are right, Murong Ping's 50,000 horses should have been evacuated. ”

"Report, general, the main army of the Yan Kingdom has been evacuated from the north gate of Gaoyang City, and most of the soldiers and horses of the Yan army defending Gaoyang City have also been evacuated." At this moment, the scouts in front came with the news of the withdrawal of the main army of the Yan Kingdom.

At this time, Wang Meng and other generals of the Jin army fully understood the situation and were ready to immediately launch a pursuit.

Subsequently, the vanguard of Wang Meng's army continued to attack the south gate of Gaoyang City, while the 60,000 Jin soldiers and horses reinforced by the main force of Wang Meng's army quickly pursued the main force of the Yan army that fled along the main road in the direction of the east gate.

However, at this time, the main force of the Yan army had been evacuated for a while, and for this reason, the cavalry of the Jin army could not catch up in a short time.

How could the three hundred Yan soldiers at the south gate of Gaoyang City withstand the attack of the main force of the Jin army, under the fierce attack of the main force of the Jin army. They were quickly defeated, suffered heavy casualties, and completely lost the strength to resist.

The vanguard soldiers and horses of Wang Meng's army broke through the south gate of Gaoyang City at the fastest speed, and after fully occupying the entire Gaoyang City, a small number of men and horses were left to garrison the city, and the remaining tens of thousands of horses went out of the city from the north gate to continue to pursue the main cavalry of Yan State.

It didn't take long for the main force of the Jin army led by Hua An himself to arrive in Gaoyang City. And the soldiers and horses responsible for pursuing the main army of the Yan State. He also arrived at the north bank of Yishui at the junction of Youzhou and Jizhou, and launched an attack on the Yan army that was preparing to cross the river.

Due to the relatively slow speed of the iron rope cavalry, when the main force of the Yan army reached the south bank of Yishui. The main cavalry of the Jin army had already chased behind him. And immediately went on the offensive.

"General. The cavalry of the Jin army came. A Yan army general shouted loudly.

Murong Ke turned around and saw the main cavalry of the Jin army. Sure enough, it was rushing to kill, and it was menacing, as if he would not wipe out all the main troops and horses under his command, as if he would not give up.

"Fourth brother, the main cavalry of the Jin army has been killed behind you, and our army must immediately counterattack." Murong Ba said loudly.

Murong Ke frowned, and said loudly: "In a battle against the water, our army will win, pass the order, and the whole army will immediately attack the cavalry of the Jin army." ”

"Yes, Fourth Brother." Murong Ba responded, and then began to organize the cavalry under his command to attack the main cavalry of the Jin army.

At this time, Murong Ke and Murong Ping's soldiers and horses have converged, with a total strength of up to 150,000, and the pursuing Jin cavalry also has 150,000 people.

The iron cavalry of the "...... killing" Yan army, as the mainstay of the Yan army, first launched an attack from the front, and the Zhuge Xiong army of the Jin army also attacked from the front.

The advantage of the iron rope cavalry is the huge impact force, but the 10,000 Wudang Fei Army of the Zhuge Xiong Legion has a crossbow as a sharp weapon, and the crossbow is the nemesis of the cavalry corps, especially the nemesis of the iron rope cavalry, you know, the war horses of the iron rope cavalry are connected by iron cables, so that as long as a war horse falls to the ground with an arrow, a row of iron rope cavalry connected by iron cables will lose their ability to maneuver, and thus become the target of the Jin army.

In front of Zhuge Xiong's army, the iron rope cavalry rushed over with neat steps, the huge tremor made the whole earth tremble, and the huge deterrent power of the iron rope cavalry made the Wudang Fei army feel a chill.

However, Zhuge Xiong had already decided to fight to the death with the Yan army's iron rope cavalry, so he would not retreat because of the huge deterrent power of the iron rope cavalry, but led the main cavalry under his command to meet it.

Murong Ke, the main general of the Yan army, took the iron rope cavalry as the backbone of the impact, and the remaining 100,000 cavalry were divided into left and right wings and killed the Jin cavalry.

The frontal attack of the Yan Army's Iron Rope Cavalry was getting closer and closer to Zhuge Xiong's army, Zhuge Xiong was not panicked, and when the Iron Rope Cavalry entered the land of an arrow, he shouted loudly: "Soldiers, prepare for crossbows." ”

"Brush brush brush ......" 10,000 flying troops, immediately prepared the repeater crossbow, and held it in his hand, ready to fire crossbow arrows at any time.

"Repeater salvo, put." Seeing that the Yan army's iron cavalry had approached close enough, Zhuge Xiong loudly gave the order to release the arrows.

"Whoosh...... A large number of crossbows shot out and shot towards the Yan army's iron cavalry.

Ten thousand crossbows fired in unison, one crossbow and ten arrows, in a very short period of time, 10,000 Wudang Fei Army shot out 100,000 crossbow arrows, so many crossbow arrows caused great casualties to the Yan army's iron rope cavalry, and paralyzed the Yan army's frontal attack.

Although the soldiers and horses of the Yan Army's Iron Rope Cavalry are equipped with heavy armor, the Wudang Feijun Repeater Crossbow is also very powerful, and all the crossbow arrows are iron, so they can directly penetrate the armor of the Yan Army's Iron Rope Cavalry, so as to shoot the Iron Rope Cavalry.

Murong Ke was greatly surprised to see that the iron cavalry under his command suffered heavy losses under the crossbow fire of the Jin army, but at this time, there was no better way than to attack, although the losses were extremely heavy, but in order to repel the attack of the Jin army, they had to attack with all their might.

"Blow the horn and fight against the water." Murong Ke ordered loudly.

"Woo woo woo ......" Under Murong Ke's order, a huge horn sound came from the rear of the Yan State army.

At this moment, the Yan cavalry is in an extremely unfavorable situation, the front is the main cavalry of the Jin army that is attacking, and the back is the Yi Shui that is rolling eastward, and the main force of the Jin army is gradually approaching, if you don't fight with all your might, you will fall into the danger of annihilation, for this reason, at such a moment of crisis, the Yan army burst out more combat power, and launched a counterattack against the Jin cavalry.

For this reason, it is not possible to continue to fire crossbow arrows at the Yan army's wire cavalry, and the Yan army's wire cavalry will take advantage of this gap to accelerate the attack, and the wire cavalry of the Yan army will immediately open the wire rope for the horse to be shot and killed, and the whole team will be at a standstill, so as to continue the attack in the form of individual cavalry.

The strength of the cavalry of the Yan State and the cavalry of the Jin army is very strong, for this reason, the fight is extremely fierce, and the casualties on both sides are also very huge, but no one is willing to admit defeat and continue to fight.

After a fierce battle, both sides looked extremely tired, and the casualties were very huge, at this time, the arrows on both sides were almost consumed, especially the Jin army, because the arrows had been almost exhausted, it was difficult to launch a bow and arrow attack on the Yan army's iron rope cavalry, and the Yan army's iron rope cavalry continued to kill the main force of the Jin army, thus making the Jin cavalry suffer great losses.

The cavalry of the Jin army did not have arrows as offensive weapons, and when facing the powerful iron rope cavalry, they were completely at a disadvantage, so they had to retreat back for the time being, and gather their troops and horses to prepare for another battle.

"Fourth brother, the cavalry company of the Jin army has retreated seven or eight miles, whether our army will continue to pursue or retreat to the north bank of Yishui." Murong Ba asked loudly.

Murong Ke looked at the retreating main cavalry of the Jin Kingdom, thought for a moment, and said: "The cavalry of the Jin army is just taking a short rest, once they are finished, they will immediately attack our army, and now, the follow-up soldiers and horses of the Jin army are not far away, so our army should immediately cross Yishui and rely on Fanyang City on the north bank to resist the attack of the main force of the Jin army." ”

Obviously, Murong Ke knew very well in his heart that once all the soldiers and horses of the Jin army arrived on the south bank of Yishui, the army under his command would be wiped out, especially the charioteers with huge impact power, which was a very terrifying force, once this force arrived, the more than 100,000 cavalry under his command would be in trouble, so before all the soldiers and horses of the Jin army arrived, they must immediately retreat to the north bank of Yishui.

"Fourth brother, what if the Jin cavalry suddenly attacks when our army is retreating to the north bank of Yishui?" Murong Ba said with some concern.

After all, it would be terrible if only half of the centaurs had crossed the easy water and the other half had not.

Murong Ke thought for a moment and said loudly: "Immediately send five thousand men and horses to set up multiple tripwire ropes on the road that the Jin army must pass to attack, so that it can greatly block the attack of the Jin army's cavalry, so as to ensure that our army's soldiers and horses cross the Yishui." ”

"Yes, Fourth Brother." Murong Ba responded, and immediately allocated 5,000 men and horses, and set up a large number of tripwires on the places where the Jin army must pass through to launch an attack, so many tripwires were enough to make it difficult for the Jin cavalry to launch a quick attack, and even, make it difficult for the Jin cavalry to move an inch.

At the same time that the 5,000 Yan army arranged the tripping rope, the main force of the Yan army began to quickly withdraw to the north bank of Yishui along the pontoon bridge on Yishui, and set up a large camp on the north bank of Yishui, preparing to confront the main force of the Jin army across Yishui.

After a hard battle with the main cavalry of the Yan State, the cavalry of the Jin army suffered great losses, of course, the losses of the cavalry of the Yan army were also very large, and the losses of both sides were very large, so it can be said that they lost both. (To be continued......)
