Nearly 5,000 Jingzhou cavalrymen, wielding short spears in their hands, clamped their legs the horse's belly, and rushed towards the Han army array while letting out bursts of shouts.

The Han army at the front, holding the hilt of the knife tightly, blocked the shield in front of him, stared at the Jingzhou army that was coming up, and waited for the opponent's war horse to collide with it, and immediately launched a counterattack.

The Han army behind the array took off the strong crossbow from behind one after another, set up feather arrows on the strong crossbow, and aimed at the Jingzhou army that rushed up.

"Shoot the arrows!" The Jingzhou army was getting closer and closer, and when they were only a few dozen steps away from the Han army's array, and the arrows shot by the Han army could effectively shoot them, the officer on the side of the Han army's array pressed his arm down sharply and gave the order to release the arrows.

As soon as the officer gave the order, two or three thousand Han soldiers with strong crossbows pulled off the springs of the strong crossbows one after another, and shot out one after another towards the Jingzhou army.

The arrows shot by the strong crossbow flew straight towards the Jingzhou cavalry who rushed up.

Cavalry is extremely lethal to ranged infantry, but the premise is to bypass the direction of the ranged infantry.

Rushing head-on to the long-range infantry, the cavalry whose shields could not cover people and horses at the same time, faced with a patch of arrows, was like a reckless man charging bare-chested, almost defenseless.

Pieces of arrows flew towards the cavalry of the Jingzhou army, and the soldiers of the Jingzhou army who were shot by the feather arrows fell off their horses one by one.

Some Jingzhou soldiers were not directly hit by feather arrows, but the arrows shot by the strong crossbow hit the war horses under their crotches.

The war horses that were shot by the arrows let out their last wails one by one, bent their two front legs, and under the action of inertia, turned their heels and planted them forward.

A war horse of the Jingzhou army was shot by more than a dozen feather arrows, and the war horse had two spontaneously trembling feather arrows inserted in its forehead, and more than a dozen arrows were inserted in its chest.

The Jingzhou army on horseback thought about jumping off the war horse at the moment when the war horse turned over.

His brain is not slow, but his body is not that fast.

By the time he pressed the saddle with both hands and intended to leap into the air, the tumbling war horse had already lifted him whole.

was lifted up by the war horse, and the body of the Jingzhou army swirled in the air, and was about to let out a terrified howl, when the huge war horse's buttocks smashed into his waist.

The horse's buttocks hit the waist of the Jingzhou army, smashing him out like a golf ball.

A piece of Jingzhou army and war horses shot by feather arrows fell on the way to charge, and the Jingzhou army that followed them waved the short spear in their hands, let out a shout, and launched a fierce charge towards the Han army.

The arrows fired by the strong crossbow of the Han army caused great losses to the Jingzhou army, but after all, the Jingzhou army was numerous, and the front fell down, and the back rushed up like a tide.

Seeing that the Jingzhou army had rushed to a place only more than 20 steps away from the big array, the soldiers of the Han army who fired the arrows carried their crossbows on their backs, drew their swords, and raised their shields.

Countless horses' hooves trampled on the ground, making a thunderous roar, and the earth seemed to be shaken by this thunderous roar.

Thousands of war horses collided with the array of the Han army, rushed to the Jingzhou army in the most pinched face, and used the collision force of the war horses to loosen the array of the Han army, and the short spear in his hand also kept stabbing at the Han army at this time.

The Han army, holding a shield and lining up the shield wall, relied on its body to resist the collision of the Jingzhou cavalry.

Under the vigorous collision of the Jingzhou army, some Han soldiers were hit and flew backwards, and the Han army behind immediately filled their vacancies, roaring angrily, relying on the impact force of their bodies to compete with the powerful war horses.

The cavalry of the Jingzhou Army, crashing into the Han army, could still rush out in depth at first, but later, under the hard counterattack of the Han army, the offensive was finally stopped.

The cavalry, which stopped to attack, fought with the infantry, did not have much advantage at all.

The Jingzhou army, which had not yet collided with the Han army, immediately turned around and ran towards a little farther away, trying to attack the Han army from another angle.

As soon as those Jingzhou troops turned around and left, Xiahou Yuan raised his arm and waved behind him.

The 1,000 Han cavalry who stood behind him immediately shook the reins, drove the war horses, and rushed towards the Jingzhou army who turned their horses.

The Han cavalry launched an attack, and the Jingzhou army, which turned its horses, soon also carried the reins, turned their horses, and counterattacked against the Han cavalry.

The Jingzhou army launched a counterattack, and the cavalry of the Han army not only did not slow down the speed of the war horses, but urged the war horses more urgently, as if they were impatient to use a strong collision force to flatten the enemy army.

The two cavalry galloped towards each other, and the soldiers on both sides were solemn, staring at the enemy soldiers who were getting closer and closer, and the hands holding the blades were getting tighter and tighter.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and the sound of the roaring horses' hooves echoes in the ears of the soldiers on both sides, and the soldiers on both sides in the charge can even smell the smell of smoke and dust from the enemy horses on the opposite side.

With a roar, the two armies collided in one place, the front war horses collided with each other, and the soldiers behind could even clearly hear the sound of the war horses' necks broken.

With the neighing of the war horses, one by one the war horses fell, and the cavalry on horseback was also thrown out one by one by the huge impact force.

The cavalry of both sides collided together, and many soldiers flew into the battlefield full of enemy troops.

Some of the soldiers on both sides who fell into the enemy army were about to hit the enemy below, and all the enemy soldiers they could hit fell off their horses.

There are also some dancing and fluttering in mid-air, and when they fall, they do not collide with the enemy soldiers on war horses, and fall into the enemy army, and are soon annihilated by countless horses' hooves.

The cavalry on both sides of the collision in one place, constantly waving the blades in their hands, desperately slashing and stabbing their enemies.

At first, the cavalry of both sides were divided into two camps, but later, they were entangled and mixed with each other, and there were enemies of the soldiers and their companions everywhere.

Riding on horseback, looking coldly at the soldiers on both sides who were fighting in one place, Xiahou Yuan's face did not have any expression.

His face was serene, but his heart was not at peace.

The 5,000 Han Army, in terms of overall combat strength, is obviously much higher than the Jingzhou Army.

The Jingzhou army led by Zhang Fei was almost the same as the Han army in terms of numbers, but they were all cavalry after all.

Compared with the mixed cavalry army, the cavalry of all colors not only has no advantage at all, but is also at a disadvantage in chopping power.

The heavy infantry of the Han army, armed with Pu knives and shields, kept poking Pu knives at the Jingzhou cavalry who were fighting with them.

Compared to the cavalry of the Jingzhou Army, which could only slash at the top of their heads, the targets they could attack were not only the enemy soldiers on horseback, but also the war horses under the crotch of the Jingzhou army.

In particular, the huge war horse became the primary target of the Han army's infantry attack.

A Jingzhou soldier, holding a short spear, stabbed down on the head of a Han soldier on the side of his horse.

The Han army raised his shield to block the short spear that pierced the top of his head, and the Pu knife in his hand poked it first, directly poking at the neck of the war horse under the crotch of the Jingzhou army.

The sharp Pu knife pierced the neck of the war horse, and when the Han soldiers violently pulled out the Pu knife, a stream of warm horse blood splashed like a fountain all over his face and chest.

The war horse that was stabbed by Pu's knife didn't even have time to neigh, and its body tilted, and it fell down along with the cavalry on horseback.

As soon as the war horse fell, a group of Han soldiers immediately surrounded him, raised his blades, and poked at the Jingzhou army who fell off the war horse.

It's just that in an instant, the Jingzhou army was poked out of countless holes.

Zhang Fei, who was standing at the mouth of the valley, looked at the battlefield where the two sides were fighting, and his brows gradually wrung up.

As far as he could see, he saw mostly the Jingzhou army that fell down with the war horses, and rarely saw the Han army being killed by the Jingzhou army.

According to the development of this situation, the Jingzhou army had little chance to completely repel the Han army, and Zhang Fei's idea of making meritorious contributions in the first battle was just his wishful thinking.

Tightly frowning, staring at the soldiers on both sides who were fighting, Zhang Fei raised his arm and commanded the cavalry behind him: "Mingjin withdraw the troops!" ”

After receiving Zhang Fei's order, a cavalryman immediately took out the horn, puffed out his cheeks, and sounded the horn of the troops to collect the troops.

The sound of the horn echoed on the battlefield, and the officers and soldiers of the Jingzhou Army who heard the sound of the horn turned around their horses one after another, and rushed towards the valley where Zhang Fei was stationed.

The soldiers of the Han army did not chase after them, but just surrounded the Jingzhou legions who had no time to withdraw, and adopted the strategy of killing one more one.

Nearly 5,000 Jingzhou troops returned to Zhang Fei's side after a desperate battle, but there were only more than 4,000 people, and in this melee, five or six hundred Jingzhou troops died on the battlefield.

Seeing that the Jingzhou army had withdrawn to the valley, the soldiers of the Han army searched for the Jingzhou army on the battlefield who were seriously injured and could not escape, but did not die, and stabbed them in the chest one by one.

The wounded soldiers of the Han army were carried up by Tong Ze and returned to the rear of the array to receive medical treatment for the wounded.

In a scuffle, the Han army lost about 100 people, but the casualties of the Jingzhou army were several times that of them.

From this battle alone, Xiahou Yuan had already seen that it was not difficult to repel Zhang Fei, who had always had a cold face, and after the soldiers withdrew from the array one after another, a faint smile finally appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Staring at the Han army returning to the array, Zhang Fei tightly clenched the Zhangba snake spear in his hand.

I have the heart to go forward to fight, but I know that there is not much possibility of victory at all, at this time, the withdrawal of the army, the possibility of the Han army catching up is not very large, Zhang Fei's only choice is to wait for the right time, and then fight with the Han army.
