Chapter 233: An Unprecedented Enemy!
"Destroy them for Lao Tzu!"
Hua Xiong brandished a broadsword, took the lead, and led the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to storm the left flank of the enemy's infantry phalanx!
The spear stabbed at Hua Xiong, Hua Xiong's big knife broke more than ten spears in a row, Xiliang Iron Cavalry stepped through the front row of the enemy, and the iron hooves crushed the enemy's face!
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry broke through the opponent's third, fourth, and fifth rows of infantry one after another, and the momentum was violent!
When the speed of the heavy cavalry gradually decreased, Hua Xiong killed one of the opponent's generals who was supervising the battle in the front row, and the enemy's morale dropped even faster.
Hua Xiong led the first row of Xiliang Iron Cavalry to protrude from the flank and join the rear of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
The second row of Xiliang Iron Riding becomes the first row!
After the second row is rushed, it protrudes from the flanks and joins the rear, followed by the third row, the fourth row!
Row after row of Xiliang Iron Cavalry rushed into the opponent's thick infantry phalanx like a tide, and they had already broken through the opponent's fifteen rows of soldiers one after another!
Hundreds of infantry on the left flank died under the assault of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry!
What's even more precarious is that the left flank may be completely destroyed by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, resulting in the complete collapse of the 100,000 infantry and archery army in the middle!
"That cavalry, could it be the Xiliang Iron Cavalry?!"
"Most likely, there is such a possibility, our phalanx may be broken through by the opponent's Xiliang Iron Cavalry at any time, what should we do?"
The lords of Xuzhou panicked for a while, Chu Tian put into the hole card battle, destroying the withering and decaying, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry repeatedly attacked, and it was possible to collapse the left flank of the coalition army at any time!
"Chu Zimou has such a heavy cavalry, invincible, and my position as a state priest is not guaranteed."
Tao Qian couldn't help but shudder in the face of the fierce Xiliang Iron Horse.
Compared with the Xuzhou heavy cavalry that was intercepted by the opponent's Chebao, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry led by Hua Xiong was invincible, breaking through their own thick infantry phalanx one after another.
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry, with Huaxiong as the main general, is far more powerful than the ordinary Xuzhou heavy cavalry!
All the lords of Xuzhou, including Tao Qian, who is the pastor of Xuzhou, put their hopes on the coach Xiang Yan. It's up to him to command and turn the tide.
Xiang Yan was not in a hurry: "The heavy infantry reserve and the crossbowman reserve are on the battlefield!" ”
A force of 2,000 heavy infantry and 5,000 crossbowmen went to support the left flank, which was about to be destroyed by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
"Can this infantry block the fierce Xiliang Iron Cavalry?"
"Everything can only be left to fate."
"Song Jiang led 20,000 reserves to assist the right flank cavalry in the defense."
Xiang Yan continued to give orders.
He found that the 15,000 cavalry on the right flank had a tendency to be overwhelmed by Mulan's 4,000 cavalry, so he could only send Song Jiang to support.
"The opponent's reserves are moving!"
Chu Tian's side always pays attention to the movements of the enemy's reserves, and since the other party sends reserves, then Chu Tian can also mobilize the reserves.
"Zhao Yun, lead 1,500 white horse cavalry to support Mulan, be sure to chisel through the opponent's right flank!"
"Zang Ba and Sun Guan led the infantry to support Huaxiong and tear apart the enemy formation!"
Chu Tian sent out the reserves, leaving only Lu Zhi's 8,000 infantry and archers by his side.
He's already on a desperate note. This time, sending two reserves, perhaps a victory.
Zhao Yun's white horse cavalry was extremely conspicuous, converging into a white river and sweeping in the direction where Mulan was!
The white horse at the front shot arrows from the bow, and the enemy cavalry on the opposite side all landed!
Hua Mulan fell into the opponent's crowd tactics and led the light cavalry to break through, and Zhao Yun's cavalry rode on the flanks to cover, killing and wounding the opponent's cavalry.
The Tang knife in Mulan's hand curled up because she had killed too many enemies, and she threw it away directly, she pulled out the second Tang knife on her waist and continued to fight to kill the enemy!
There are too many enemies!
Song Jiang's 20,000 men are moving towards Zhao Yun's side, and the situation is even more dangerous.
Hua Xiong's Xiliang Iron Cavalry finally encountered obstacles when it broke through, and a team of heavy infantry with guns blocked the Xiliang Iron Cavalry! While the Xiliang Iron Cavalry took away part of the opponent's heavy infantry, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry also suffered a lot of casualties!
"Attack with all your troops!"
Xiang Yan ordered the drum for the second time!
Boom! Boom! Knock knock!
The sound of war drums made Chu Tian tremble!
One blow and then decline, but at this time, it is completely inapplicable to the Xuzhou coalition army, because Chutian found that the morale of Xiang Yan's army was actually rising!
"How is that possible!"
It was the first time for Chu Tian to encounter such a terrifying enemy general!
Now that the morale of both sides has been low, the morale of Xiang Yan's army has suddenly been boosted, and the combat effectiveness has broken out again, attacking on all fronts!
The army of Langya Kingdom fell into passivity, and Xiang Yan's army was constantly attacking!
Zhou Yafu has the characteristics of governing the army, and the morale decline rate is very slow, but even so, he can't help the bonus brought by the increase in the morale of the other party.
"Shrink the line!"
Faced with an extremely dangerous situation, Zhou Yafu could only strengthen his defense, wait for the opponent's high morale to drop, and then counterattack.
Hua Xiong's Xiliang Iron Cavalry was in a desperate situation, and he found that after the arrival of the opponent's heavy infantry, his Xiliang Iron Cavalry slowed down, making it difficult to break through, with more than 100 casualties!
The expensive seventh-order heavy cavalry fell one by one like consumables!
There were spears all around, and Hua Xiong killed more than a dozen heavy infantry of the opponent in a row, but he could not open the opponent's defense line, but was in danger of being flanked!
Xiang Yan frequently mobilized troops and horses, and about 20,000 troops got out of the main phalanx, flanking Huaxiong's heavy cavalry, wanting to completely destroy a thousand Xiliang iron cavalry!
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry loses the space to charge, and will be swallowed by the infantry all over the mountain.
Hua Xiong, who rushed into the enemy formation, fought bloodily, and he did not expect that he had just defected to General Fubo and would experience such a tragic battle.
If you don't get it right, he'll die in this battle!
"General Huaxiong, don't panic!"
As the vanguard general of the reserve, Sun Guan led 3,000 infantry to kill the Xuzhou infantry who tried to attack Huaxiong together, and responded to Huaxiong's retreat!
Armed with a spear, he rushed left and right, and his life-sacrificing attacks frightened off many of his enemies.
Zang Ba led 5,000 infantry and archers to follow behind.
"Can't let them escape."
Xiang Yan sensed the intentions of Zang Ba and Sun Guan, and once again mobilized 10,000 reserves with high morale to press the three Langya military generals!
The pressure on Zang Ba, Sun Guan, and Hua Xiong suddenly increased because of Xiang Yan's command.
With a force of more than 10,000 people in the face of 40,000 enemies, it is difficult to support!
An arrow hit Sun Guan in the back, Sun Guan snorted, and continued to sacrifice his life to fight, cutting down the enemy in front of him!
The ring head knife and the Tang knife are curled because of the chopping armor!
Zang Ba's face was stained with blood, not only the blood of his enemies, but also his own!
There are enemies on all sides, and the superiority of troops is all mobilized by the opposing commander, and the generals of Langya Kingdom are in an unprecedented hard battle!
"No matter how hard you struggle, there is no point in your troops, as long as you meet a top commander, you will definitely be defeated!"
Yang Ye led 12,000 cavalry to fight against Xue Rengui, even if Xue Rengui could kill hundreds of cavalry, it was difficult to continue in the face of Yang Ye's crowd tactics.
Xue Rengui wanted to step forward and kill Yang Ye and force the opponent's army to collapse, but Yang Ye followed his lord's orders and avoided fighting and constantly used cavalry to consume Xue Rengui.
His cavalry was numerous, and he didn't feel sorry for it!
A Xuzhou cavalry was picked off the horse by Xue Rengui, he has become a bloody man, and with his own strength, he killed hundreds of people in one battle!
Only three hundred of the five hundred Tang archers were still with Xue Rengui, and the number of ordinary light cavalry who died in their hands was thousands, but it could not change the fact that the other party still had a large number of cavalry.
As long as the generals of the two sides are not much different, the advantage of troops will be very terrifying.
Zhou Yafu and Li Guang were suppressed by the main force of the infantry with high morale on the opposite side and were forced to shrink the defensive line, Hua Xiong, Zang Ba, and Sun Guan fell into a heavy siege, and Xue Rengui fought fiercely with Yang Ye, who had the advantage of troops.
All this is because Xiang Yan beat the drum for the second time, which greatly boosted the morale of the Xuzhou coalition army!
All hope is left with the combination of Mulan and Zhao Yun!
As long as Hua Mulan and Zhao Yun can defeat the cavalry on the right flank opposite and Song Jiang who reinforces the cavalry on the right flank, they may be able to turn defeat into victory.
"I underestimated Xiang Yan too much, but how could his ability be so strong? Even Zhou Yafu and Li Guang, the combination of one defense and one attack have to be hated...... Although he has the advantage of troops, I have the Willow Battalion and the Shooting Sound Battalion on my side. ”
Chu Tian faced an unprecedentedly strong enemy, but his head was very clear.
The only cavalry he could rely on now was the cavalry on Mulan's and Zhao Yun's side, and the 8,000 men of Lu Zhi, the last reserve.
Chu Tian has never dared to send the last reserve into battle, because the Danyang soldiers of the Xuzhou coalition army have not yet ended.
"In this battle, our army only has two or three percent chance of winning, where is the mistake?"
Even Fang Xuanling couldn't understand why the Xuzhou coalition army could burst out with such a strong combat effectiveness.
The Xuzhou coalition army is a large army cobbled together by Xuzhou Mu and the lords of various counties, and it is difficult to say whether they cooperate with each other tacitly, and morale is easy to collapse.
In this battle, they showed unprecedented combat effectiveness, just like a lord's own army, well organized, not at all like a rabble.
This situation made a think tank like Fang Xuanling miscalculate.
And he, like Chu Tian, still doesn't know what went wrong.
Zhao Yun and Hua Mulan were encircled and fought hard, and there were Xuzhou cavalry everywhere.
"Kill!"
Zhao Yun shouted, gave up wandering around, and directly led the white horse cavalry to take the initiative to attack the opponent's cavalry!
Zhao Yun cooperated with Hua Mulan, and the cavalry strength rose, trying to crush the right wing cavalry of the Xuzhou army!
The cavalry general who commanded the right flank of the Xuzhou coalition army was taken aback when he saw a white-robed cavalry general galloping towards him, and hurriedly retreated!
"Shoot the enemy general!"
His own soldiers shot arrows at Zhao Yun one after another, and Zhao Yun was hit by two arrows, but his force was not affected at all, but became stronger and stronger!
The Turkic war horses galloped through the chaotic army, and the speed was extremely fast! The red tassel spear in Zhao Yun's hand stabbed out, piercing the opponent's cavalry generals and even the armor!
"The enemy general is dead!"
Zhao Yun picked up the corpse of the enemy general, and shook the thousands of enemies!
Truly take the head of the enemy general among the hosts!
This cavalry general didn't expect that Zhao Yun, who was riding and shooting, would suddenly attack his own camp, so he was accidentally killed!
More than 10,000 enemy cavalry has a tendency to collapse, and Zhao Yun and Hua Mulan take advantage of the situation to march!
However, a desperate thing happened, under the command of Xiang Yan, Song Jiang led 20,000 infantry and archers to block Zhao Yun and Hua Mulan at the end of the crossbow in time.
The phalanx composed of guns, shields and longbows killed and wounded hundreds of light cavalry of the Langya Kingdom, and several people also fell from Baima Yicong.
"This time, I won't make the same mistake as I did in Tokai Province."
The reserve team led by Song Jiang was in full morale and physical strength, but the cavalry of Zhao Yun and Hua Mulan showed signs of overdraft and could no longer break through Song Jiang's 20,000 infantry phalanx.
The four battlefields are still in a situation of confrontation, but the Xuzhou coalition army has occupied an absolute advantage in the four battlefields, and the morale is high, and the defeat of the Langya army is only a matter of time.
Chu Tian clenched his fists, his nails digging into his flesh, the fierceness of this battle was far beyond his imagination, and it was estimated that he would be defeated in another hour or two.
He had only one reserve in his hands, just an army of ordinary infantry and archers.
Even Lu Zhi, as a general, is difficult to turn the tide.
The morale of the Langya camp is still declining.
"Let me play, although the chances of winning are slim, but after all, I can fight."
Lu Zhi seemed to have made up his mind to participate in this death-defying battle.
Eight thousand low-level soldiers, if they want to reverse four local battlefields, almost no one can do it.
"Lord Lu......"
"I'm my age, and if I die, I'll die."
Lu Zhi put on armor and led 8,000 people to support Hua Mulan and Zhao Yun without hesitation, knowing that only by defeating Song Jiang as soon as possible could the tide of the battle be reversed.
Death for a confidant!
Eight thousand soldiers went to war with the determination to die!
Chu Tian looked at his side, there were no soldiers available, only more than 100 personal soldiers left.
Chu Tian felt desperate for the first time, facing the situation of being crushed, after all the troops were used up, he could not do anything.
"The morale of the army of Langya Kingdom has dropped, and it will definitely collapse in less than an hour!"
"Langya is about to be replaced, and the first lord of our Eastern Han District is also going to change hands. Chu Zimou has been the number one for so many years, and this defeat will make him fall to the bottom. ”
"He fled with a few historical generals who abandoned Langya Kingdom, maybe there will be lords willing to take him in, after all, who doesn't want to get his generals?"
The lords of Xuzhou, who were watching the battle, knew that this battle that would determine the ownership of Xuzhou was coming to an end, and they were the victors who could divide the territory, population, generals, and women of Langya State.
"Chu Zimou is still dying, he sent the last reserve, the number of which is about seven or eight thousand!"
"There is no point in dying anymore because we still have reserves."
The lords of Xuzhou were unimpressed.
Sure enough, Xiang Yan ordered to mobilize all the reserves and even Tao Qian's 4,000 Danyang soldiers to support Song Jiang and block Lu Zhi's 8,000 men.
Be cautious to the point of ruthlessness! Don't leave Chu Zimou a chance to turn the tables!
"Xiang Yan's command ability and bonuses are also too domineering, and an army of 200,000 patchwork can burst out with such terrifying combat effectiveness."
All the lords of Xuzhou looked at the lord who owned Xiang Yan and couldn't help but envy the famous generals he had.
In this battle, Yang Wushu was dragged by Xue Rengui, and it was the coach Xiang Yan who really destroyed the army of Langya State.
Xiang Yan's lord saw that the victory was decided, and finally said his hole card: "The military general I got was not Xiang Yan at all, but the famous general Le Yi of the Warring States Period, who almost destroyed Le Yi of the powerful Qi State at that time!" He's not a defensive general, he's an offensive general! ”
