In Mu Hehua and Borshu's view, the vanguard army must be dispatched early.

dispatched, occupied Xihe City, at least according to the bridgehead, tore the complete defense line of the Yunzhou Theater, had a springboard for attacking Yunzhou City, and was able to avoid the army being blocked on the river by the Great Qi Water Division.

This battle must at least be tried.

As for the possibility that the Yunzhou army may rush to the aid of Xihe City, this is actually expected by Mu Hehua and Borshu.

If the vanguard did not capture Xihe City, it would be necessary to withdraw the army, wait until the main force was in place, and then consider the long term. If they go ashore and occupy Xihe City, and fight with the Great Qi army on land, will the elite of the royal court still be afraid?

In addition to the garrison of Xihe City, there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the entire Yunzhou, and they have more than 40,000 paces to ride, which is enough to sweep thousands of miles in Mobei, and it is invincible to the Southern Dynasties.

Taking a step back, as long as you can give the Yunzhou reinforcements a head-on blow, it is enough to buy the main force time to cross the river.

In the face of a group of miscellaneous soldiers in Yunzhou, how could they fight against the elite of the Great Qi Wang Division, and how could they swallow the Hedong Army of the Zhao clan? How could they sweep across the north and south of the Great River, trample the Great Qi rivers and mountains under their feet, and take them for themselves?

A strong army that wins a hundred battles naturally has the confidence to look down on all directions as a strong army!

No matter how capable Zhao Ning is, he left the Jin Land and arrived in Yunzhou, can he still conjure a strong army out of thin air? If he can, is he still a human being? If there are gods in Daqi, then it is okay not to fight this national war, because there is no need to fight at all.

Because of this, when they heard that Zhao Ning only brought a mere 40,000 horse army and came to the aid of Xihe City in the starry night, Mu Hehua and Borshu were so happy that they almost laughed off their big teeth.

What is this not to die? What is this not to give the vanguard army a chance?

The only problem was that Zhao Ning's army came too quickly, and the army retreated and gathered from the pursuit to the time when it came to Xihe City to set up the battlefield, which was too short, and all preparations were not absolutely sufficient.

The trap was not dug deep enough, and the thistles were not arranged enough.

But in Mu Hehua's view, the existing arrangement is completely sufficient.

"Let's fight, let's fight! Zhao Ning, let me see, this new soldier on the battlefield you brought, how much real ability does it have! It's just that there are more cultivators and top-grade rune soldiers, if you want to fight with our hundred battles to the end, I want to take a good look, whether you have this qualification, whether you have this strength!"

Mu Hehua stared at Chen Yi, who was in front of the horse trap and controlled the war horse to jump high, and these words popped out from between his teeth.

The look of madness on his face showed that he thought he had a win.

......

All the responses are too late, and will only lead to chaos and sink deeper into the quagmire.

In this case, don't do any strain, even if there is an abyss in front of you, all you have to do is to jump down with all your might.

Chen Yi and Fang Moyuan took the lead in leaping horses.

Although the trapped horse pits are not small, they are not a place of heavenly moats, and if they fully exert the cultivation of the Yuan Shen Realm, they can fly over with their war horses.

But he didn't.

The moment he jumped, Zhao Ning's voice entered his ears again: "Abandon the horse and hold the shield!"

Chen Yi realized that even if the Yuan Shen Realm could lead the war horse to rush over, the Imperial Qi Realm, the Body Forging Realm, and ordinary soldiers were destined to be unable to complete this step.

So he decisively let go of the reins of the horse, and let the precious armored war horse fall into the pit.

The trap is not deep, but if the horse falls, it is absolutely impossible to get up again.

Zhao Ning's military order not only exploded in the ears of Chen Yi and Fang Moyuan, but also the thousands of soldiers in the front team of the Ma Army heard this thunderous order.

A cultivator of the Mingyuan God Realm, the Imperial Qi Realm, and the Forging Body Realm, when the war horse was either planted or fell into the pit, with his vigorous skills, he jumped up with his shield one after another.

Falling steadily to the ground, without Zhao Ning's command, Chen Yi and Fang Moyuan raised the cavalry round shield above their heads, pulled out the horizontal knife at their waist with their backhand, and rushed forward against the storm of sharp arrows.

More and more cultivators followed him in the same posture, rushing forward like a tiger and a leopard.

As for ordinary soldiers, the war horses were planted, and the people were also planted, and in an instant, the bones and tendons were broken, and it was basically impossible to stand up again. Together with the horses, they became the stuff of the traps.

The terrible cries of the people could not be clearer to show that the battlefield is hell.

When Chen Yi, Fang Moyuan and the others were running hard, the formation of the soldiers behind them inevitably became much looser, but their guards were all cultivators, and most of them came from Yipinlou, Changhe Boat Company, or the children of the Yun family, and their wings were not low, and they were very little damaged due to the trapping pit.

However, the rain of arrows above the head kept falling, and many of those who did not raise their shields in time were pierced by the sharp arrows of Fu Ya, fell out on the spot, fell to the ground with a pop, and were shot into hedgehogs by the subsequent arrow rain, spitting blood and returning to death.

Most of those who raise their shields in time can protect the vital points.

When some cultivators leaped over the horse trap in front of them, because the sharp arrow cut through the arm or stabbed the thigh, the shield was crooked under the pain, and the next moment they were pierced through the head and chest by the arrow rain and fell to the ground.

Most cultivators can keep in mind the essence of their daily training, and even if they are injured, they will never let the shield be unbalanced, so that they can save themselves to the greatest extent and have the qualifications to continue to move forward after landing.

Some people fell halfway, some stopped halfway, and more people followed closely behind Chen Yi, Fang Moyuan and others, shouting hoarsely and killing with all their might, only remembering to rush forward.

The Heavenly Wolf Bow that can be mounted on a large scale in the Beihu Army has a limited range after all, although the speed of dismounting and charging will slow down, but everyone is an elite cultivator, and it is not much slower.

In the light of countless torches, the large array of the Beihu infantry army was not far away, and it seemed that as long as they took a breath, they could meet them in a short battle.

But at this moment, the cultivators who rushed in front of them came from unbearable severe pain in their feet one after another, and some of them fell directly to the ground, and then they couldn't help but scream.

When everyone looked down, they found that the ground was covered with dense iron thistles! These sharp weapons that blocked the cavalry had now become their blockers.

As they jumped and retreated, their bodies crooked, the crossbow bolts shot straight from the military formation in front of them, and many of them were shot instantly.

The most difficult thing is that the thistle terrestris hinders them from continuing to move forward, and if the cultivation is high, it is only high, and the low cultivation can only retreat, and the entire charge is delayed in an instant, and the front and back are disjointed.

And when the waves of crossbow arrows continue to shoot head-on, stopping the pace of the charge means that every moment, there are many people who hate the scene and fall to the ground.

Rao is rivers and lakes have been up and down for many years, and Chen Yi has never met such a large-scale rapid casualty among his subordinates, especially after becoming the master of the Changhe Boat Company, with the support of the Zhao family, the Yang family, and the cultivators of Yipinlou, he has always been the only one who bullies others, when have his own people suffered such a big loss?

Chen Yi's already red eyes were full of blood at this moment.

At the moment of crisis, he did not hesitate at all, let go of the round shield that was protecting the vital point, and roared out with a knife!

This scene immediately reminded the others, the cultivators of the Yuan Shen Realm withdrew their round shields one after another, and pieces of sword qi and sword light swept by, and the iron thistles on the ground flew up in groups, and many of them also shot back into the Beihu infantry battle array, setting off a stream of blood mist.

In the process, some people were shot in the body by crossbow arrows because the round shield no longer protected the vital point.

In the opponent's battle formation, there is also no shortage of masters and strong people, and they will not be idle.

"Kill!" Before the smoke and dust rolled up on the ground dissipated, Chen Yi had already flown out.

"Kill!" Fang Moyuan and the other generals hurriedly followed, and the other Yuan Shen Realms successively increased their speed to the extreme.

"Kill!" all the cultivators rushed again.

The sound of crossbows smashing into flesh was incessant, and the sound of plopping and falling came one after another, one by one the cultivators fell to the ground, and one after another the cultivators crossed their comrades.

The cultivators of Yipinlou and Changhe Boat Line have experienced many battles in the rivers and lakes, and although they are now in the battle formation, they are not lacking in murderous spirit and bravery.

And because Zhao Ning has governed them with the law of governing the army in recent years, all the cultivators have strict discipline and decisive actions, and now Chen Yi, Fang Moyuan and others have been charging ahead, and none of them are willing to lag behind.

Finally, Chen Yi, Fang Moyuan and others rushed to the front of the infantry battle array.

The opponent's shield is outside, the spears are like a forest, and the formation is a strict barrier, as if it is indestructible.

"Kill!"

Chen Yi and Fang Moyuan jumped up one after another, and at the same time let out a loud roar, the long knife in his hand slashed down, and the ten-zhang sword light was like a bright moon, slashing into the large array of the Beihu Infantry Army, shattering the shield and spear, and setting off a bloody storm!

......

Mu Hehua opened his mouth in surprise.

He didn't expect this group of battlefield recruits to be so resolute and not afraid or hesitate in the face of a desperate situation; he didn't expect the other party to act so ruthlessly, and the precious war horse would give up when he said it; he didn't expect that the other party would be so brave and diligent on the way to kill without fear of death!

Not to mention anything else, as far as these soldiers in the front of the Yunzhou Army are concerned, where are the new soldiers who have not been on the battlefield, they are clearly the elite who are accustomed to killing people and seeing blood, otherwise they would never have died so fiercely and lightly.

If the other party is just a lot of cultivators and well-trained, the huge casualties on the cruel battlefield will naturally make them confused and behave wrongly, but these people on the other side are like murderous bandits and old pawns, in the face of the wind and arrows, they can still shout and kill while fighting regardless of the forward, which made him unexpected.

Seeing Chen Yi and the others rushing into the infantry battle formation, Mu Hehua's hands and feet were a little cold.

This army is really a strong army?!

The trap has been filled by the war horses abandoned by the other party and the soldiers who fell into it, although there is still a gap with the flat land, but it is no longer insurmountable.

As long as the cavalry behind passes the riding skills, most of them can step on the corpses of their comrades and war horses to pass smoothly, if the other party is really a strong army, this is definitely not good news for the royal court infantry array!
