"The phalanx on the opposite side has a neat lineup, and it seems that Xiang Yanzhijun and Zhou Yafu have a similar style."

Chu Tian took Fang Xuanling and Lu Zhi to the heights to observe the phalanx of the 200,000 coalition troops in Xuzhou.

"It is said that many soldiers are temporary recruits recruited by Tao Qian in order to expand his strength, which is one of the few good news."

When Chu Tian saw the huge army of 200,000 people, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid of the enemy's military strength.

It is equivalent to a Langya soldier to deal with 3 or 4 Xuzhou soldiers.

"The enemy's military formation is indeed neat, and the opposite side is a coalition army put together by different lords, it is not easy to have such an effect."

Fang Xuanling and Lu Zhi also praised the enemy's boss.

Whether the coalition forces are commanded by famous generals or not, the combat effectiveness is very different.

Some famous generals can even use prisoners to defeat enemies.

Zhou Yafu and Li Guang formed the Central Army. Zhou Yafu was responsible for holding the position, the archers led by Li Guang did very high damage, and coupled with the elite archery battalion, their Chinese army was almost invincible.

On both flanks were the cavalry of Mulan and Xue Rengui.

If it was possible, Chu Tian still hoped to break through on both wings.

The Langya Naval Division appeared near the battlefield as a threat, so the other party did not dare to approach the river to form a formation.

On the opposite side, Yang Wushu and a cavalry deputy general each led a team of cavalry as flanks, and in the middle was Xiang Yan's thick infantry phalanx.

"60,000 people also dare to take the initiative to go south and challenge four counties with one county, Chu Zimou is too greedy."

"This time he will definitely be ruined!"

The lords of Xuzhou were also peeking at the formation of Langya Kingdom.

There are 60,000 people in Langya Kingdom, which is less than the number of coalition forces, but it is still endless, which shows that on a battlefield, hundreds of thousands of people are already at the limit.

Commanding a large legion depends not only on drums and flags, but also on cavalry running.

"On the other side should be Zhou Yafu, a famous general known for his strict management of the army. Zhou Yafu is a wall of famous generals and cannot be underestimated. According to the information gathered, the damage of the longbowmen led by Li Guang was very high. He is often paired with Zhou Yafu. ”

"This time the command is given to Xiang Yan, let's not point fingers, and when it's time to lead the reserve team into battle, we will never hesitate."

The lords of Xuzhou reminded each other on the surface, but in fact they reminded Xuzhou Mu Taoqian not to interfere with the command of the army.

"The enemy is tempting!"

Chu Tian, who was observing on the battlefield, received the news of the enemy's attack.

Sure enough, the infantry phalanx on the opposite side began to move forward, with guns and swords and shields, and they were neat and tidy.

"Zhou Yafu finally met an opponent of equal strength."

The strength of the Langya Kingdom is at a disadvantage, which means that the Langya Kingdom is on the defensive.

Zhou Yafu did not rush to attack, but waited for the other party's 200,000 people to have a flaw.

Even if the two sides stand for a long time without moving, the probability of a flaw in the formation of 200,000 people will be higher than that of the formation of 60,000 people.

The infantry and archers on both sides gradually approached, and the arrows rained down, and the dense arrows covered the sky like locusts!

The heavy infantry in the front row used their shields and sturdy armor to withstand the rain of arrows, and the sound of iron clashing was heard one after another.

If a heavy infantry in the front row is killed by a rain of arrows, the heavy infantry in the back row will immediately fill the vacancy.

The generals on both sides were strict in governing the army, and the phalanx did not collapse because of a rain of arrows or two.

At this time, the Shooting Battalion exerted great lethality, and the arrows fired by the sixth-order longbowmen were fatal to the fourth-order heavy infantry.

If the distance is closer, the heavy infantry casualties may be even heavier if the Archery battalion uses armor-piercing heavy arrows.

"That's the shooting battalion of Langya Country, and it's really powerful."

Xiang Yan was in charge of the command, and in the first round of testing, more than 100 heavy infantry died under the arrows of the shooting battalion.

In order to prevent a breakthrough by the 200,000 troops of Xuzhou, Zhou Yafu directly dispatched the shooting battalion to suppress the formation and give a large amount of damage to the incoming enemy.

The first attempt by both sides, casualties were not few.

After that, Xiang Yan sent a phalanx to attack tentatively, but they were all repelled by Zhou Yafu.

The cavalry on both sides was patiently waiting for their chance.

"The cavalry on the opposite side was also divided into two wings, which meant that Yang Wushu could only command a group of cavalry. As long as we crush the flank of the opponent's invincible cavalry, we can win. ”

Xue Rengui was observing the scale of the cavalry on the opposite side.

There were 4,000 cavalry on his side, of which 500 were Tang archers, and there were about 10,000 cavalry on the opposite side.

There may or may not be Yang Invincible on the other side.

The Xuzhou coalition army has only one famous cavalry general, which means that once the cavalry of the Xuzhou coalition army is separated, there is a cavalry that lacks a famous general to command.

"When will it be my turn to charge the Xiliang Iron Cavalry?"

Hua Xiong's heavy cavalry was placed on the flanks to assault the left flank of the opposing infantry phalanx.

He was a little restless, this time he wanted to fight 60,000 to 200,000!

Both sides began to set up in the early morning, and the temptation lasted from morning to noon, and each other's armies were a little tired.

"The other party is really patient, and Zhou Yafu is also very patient."

Chu Tian felt that his patience had been worn out, not to mention the soldiers standing in the formation at this time.

If the commanders of both sides are defensive generals, then the battle will be deadlocked.

Chu Tian, Fang Xuanling, and Lu Zhi casually ate some of the dry food they carried, and they were not in much of a mood to feast.

Because this decisive battle was too critical and decided to belong to Xuzhou, Chu Tian would rather die drunk and dream after winning the battle, and he could not eat at this time.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The dull sound of huge drums from far and near, the ground trembled!

In order to make the drum sound cover a larger area, the Xuzhou coalition army used a hundred cowhide war drums, which were divided into several places to transmit military orders!

The war drums are roaring, which means that the opposite side is finally going to attack!

In addition to the reserves, all the main forces are pressed on the opposite side!

The 100,000 infantry phalanx pressed on Zhou Yafu and Li Guang's 30,000 people!

The war eagle hovered in the air, with a bird's-eye view of the entire battlefield, only to see that Xiang Yanjun concentrated all the elite infantry as the vanguard, intending to break through Zhou Yafu's phalanx head-on!

The cavalry of Yang Ye and the cavalry deputy general was only used to protect the 100,000 infantry phalanx!

In Xiang Yan's rear army, there are still 70,000 infantry and archers as reserves!

Xiang Yan's face expression.

"The enemy knew that Zhou Yafu commanded the Chinese army on our side, as well as the Xiliu Battalion and the Shooting Sound Battalion, and he actually wanted to break through from the front......"

Chu Tian didn't expect that Xiang Yan would directly break through with the infantry phalanx head-on, completely using more than 20,000 cavalry as a covering force!

Lu Zhi's face was solemn: "It seems that the enemy general is very confident in his infantry. ”

"Although Zhou Yafu and Li Guang only have 30,000 people, just the Shooting Battalion and the Xiliu Battalion are equivalent to tens of thousands of low-level infantry and archers, so it is impossible to break through. As long as the shooting battalion shoots the morale of the opposite side, then it is useless how many soldiers and horses there are on the opposite side. ”

Chutian had confidence in Zhou Yafu and Li Guang.

Xiang Yan's 100,000 infantry regiment stormed the Zhou Yafu-Li Guang army, and the fierce arrow rain covered each other, and there were a large number of soldiers killed and wounded every moment!

Li Guang personally went into battle, and there were no missing arrows in the front row, and several captains on the opposite side were shot and killed by Li Guang, and the morale of the surrounding Xuzhou archers fell!

The infantry phalanx on the opposite side attacked equally fiercely, and heavy infantry, the shooting sound battalion, and the fine willow battalion were constantly shot.

Finally, the two infantry phalanxes collided, halberds, spears, and shields collided, and the battlefield became a meat grinder!

The infantry phalanx of 100,000 people collided with the phalanx of 30,000 men, and the phalanx of 30,000 people had a tendency to crumble!

Chu Tian was secretly shocked, because he rarely saw Zhou Yafu show signs of collapse when he was on the defensive!

Is Zhou Yafu's troops too small?

"Order the cavalry to attack!"

Chu Tian saw that the Chinese army was unstable, so he could only rely on the two wings to attack.

"Crush the opposing hussars!"

Xue Rengui and Hua Mulan, who were on both flanks, received orders and knew that only by crushing the opponent's cavalry as soon as possible could they win opportunities for the Chinese army!

Even if there is Yang Invincible and a larger number of cavalry on the opposite side, you must move forward!

Four thousand cavalry on each flank rushed out!

"Last time I was surrounded by you, but this time it was a frontal battle, and I have the advantage of troops, you may not be my opponent."

Yang Ye shook his spear and led 12,000 cavalry to meet Xue Rengui's 4,000 cavalry!

On the other side, a cavalry lieutenant general led 15,000 cavalry to meet Mulan's 4,000 cavalry!

The horses' hooves are rolling, and more than 30,000 cavalry are clash on the plains!

South of the Yellow River, a cavalry battle of more than 30,000 men is already a rare battle!

The Tang Dynasty archers were at the front, shooting arrows with horn bows, and the hundreds of Xuzhou light cavalry fell from their horses with arrows, and were trampled into meat by the war horses that followed behind!

The Tang knife was pulled out, the two cavalry clashed, Xue Rengui wielded Fang Tian's halberd, slashed more than ten horsemen, and tore a hole in Yang Ye's cavalry!

Yang Ye also led his troops to break through Xue Rengui's cavalry!

It's just that Yang Ye was a little struggling when he fought with Xue Rengui's Tang Archer Cavalry, and the Tang knife of the archers slashed at Yang Ye's armor and almost cut Yang Ye.

The sixth-order light cavalry, coupled with the armor-piercing ability of Xue Rengui's cavalry, Yang Ye was not so comfortable.

On the other side, Hua Mulan held a horse lance, and broke into the enemy formation almost four times as many as herself, and the Iron Eagle scouts around her followed, driving straight in, which was better than the situation on Xue Rengui's side.

The enemy she faced would be an ordinary gold-level horseman, but with more troops.

The infantry, archers, and light cavalry of both sides were fighting, and only the reserves were recuperating and had not yet officially entered the field.

Some free players came to the battlefield and risked their lives in order to witness this large-scale battle that decided the ownership of Xuzhou.

In the great battle in the Eastern Han Dynasty so far, I am afraid that the number of participants in this large-scale battle can be ranked in the top ten.

The fierce battle between the two sides lasted for an hour, and thousands of people were killed, and there was still no victory.

"60,000 people can actually block the offensive of 200,000 troops, and it has not collapsed until now, which in itself is already incredible."

"If Chu Zimou's army of Langya has 200,000, it is enough to sweep all the places south of the Yellow River, and Cao Cao may not be able to stop his troops."

Free players who were watching the battle were impressed by the strength of the Langya army, which carried three times the army without collapsing.

They came to watch the battle, and they could retreat on horseback at any time, and it was already worth witnessing the combat effectiveness of the army of the first lord of the Eastern Han District.

"Chu Zimou is really difficult to deal with, it's time for us to use our hole cards and send heavy cavalry to attack the opponent's left flank!"

The Xuzhou coalition saw that the timing was about the same, so they mobilized 1,500 heavy cavalry as the decisive force!

1,500 heavy cavalry lined up behind the infantry phalanx, all the cavalry were dressed in heavy armor, their horses were dressed in horse armor, and they launched an assault on Zhou Yafu's phalanx with spears!

The heavy heavy cavalry was like a torrent of steel, and the depth of dozens of rows was like waves hitting Zhou Yafu's flanks!

"The shock cavalry of the Xuzhou coalition army has finally been used, thousands of heavy cavalry, how many silver taels does it cost to build such a cavalry? 100,000 taels? Two hundred thousand taels? ”

"The heavy cavalry is dispatched, if the army of Langya State cannot stop it, then the outcome of this battle can be decided."

Many freelancers who watched the game gave advice.

The 1,500 heavy cavalry was mighty, but Zhou Yafu had long known that the other side had a heavy cavalry, and deployed Chebao and archers from the Shooting Battalion on the flanks.

When the heavy cavalry on the opposite side really hit the flank, the shooting battalion first fired a round of armor-piercing heavy arrows, killing dozens of heavy cavalry, and then retreated backwards, revealing a chariot fort composed of carriages, spears, large shields, and bed crossbows!

The heavy cavalry had a look of fear on their faces, but they could no longer stop charging or turn around.

The double-bow bed crossbow shoots thick and long crossbow arrows, and even the armor of heavy cavalry is pierced by crossbow arrows!

The deterrent power of the bed crossbow is terrifying.

The defensive line composed of guns and car forts blocked the heavy cavalry attack, and the shooting battalion in the rear shot the heavy cavalry on the opposite side, and a bunch of heavy cavalry collided together, and the people turned on their backs!

Some of the heavy cavalry still stormed the bunker, interspersed between the gaps in the bunker, and a dozen spears were waiting for them in the rear, stabbing them to death!

"Hold off the other side's heavy cavalry."

Chu Tian secretly pinched a cold sweat, and even Chebao was almost completely crushed by the heavy cavalry.

Fortunately, there were the Shooting Battalion and the Hosoliu Battalion to stabilize the defensive line in the rear, bringing a lot of casualties to the opponent's heavy cavalry, and the piled up corpses blocked the offensive of the heavy cavalry in the rear, which could be regarded as blocking the opponent's heavy cavalry charge.

The heavy cavalry of the Xuzhou coalition army failed to attack, so they retreated, intending to destroy the Chebao by infantry.

The bed crossbow deployed on the bunker is very powerful, but the reloading speed is too slow, and in the face of a steady stream of infantry, it is still a drop in the bucket, and it is still necessary to rely on the infantry to tug along the fort's defense line.

"Their heavy cavalry is gone, so let's show them what a real heavy cavalry is. Ling Huaxiong led the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to destroy the enemy formation! ”

The order for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to attack reached Hua Xiong's ears through the scout cavalry, and Hua Xiong was ready to go.

"It's finally our turn! Brothers, wait a minute, keep me going! ”

Hua Xiong led a thousand Xiliang iron cavalry out of the gap in the infantry phalanx, simply changed the formation, and began to launch a heavy cavalry attack on the large number of Xuzhou coalition troops!

When the Xiliang Iron Cavalry appeared on the battlefield, the focus of the entire battlefield became the galloping Xiliang Iron Cavalry!

The Langya Kingdom also has a heavy cavalry with a size of more than 1,000!

Moreover, these thousand heavy cavalry are different from the ordinary heavy cavalry patched together by the Xuzhou coalition army before, just the invisible momentum of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry makes people perceive the gap between the two heavy cavalry!

"How could they recruit such a large scale of heavy cavalry!"

The lords of Xuzhou were shocked this time, with the financial resources of Langya State, they could not support such a large scale of heavy cavalry no matter what!
