Although both sides of the war have their own arrangements, a brutal war is not a chess game that can be easily controlled, and the soldiers on both sides are not the kind of chess pieces that can be moved at will.

From Geng Qingping's order to retreat to the real withdrawal from the gravel river, it took nearly an hour and a half.

It's not that he doesn't want to be fast, it's not that the generals of the Han Dynasty don't want to be fast, it's that Lu Chuan's generals are like the most sticky dog skin plaster, and they don't want to let them go at all.

When Geng Qingping finally got the other 200,000 or so infantry out of the battlefield after setting up a palace of nearly 50,000 or 60,000 people, Lu Chuan's generals relentlessly chased after him.

By this time, the situation on both sides had been reversed, but the Han Dynasty seemed to have lost, but it did not lose all. And Lu Chuan seems to have won, but he didn't win all of them.

Both sides are clearly aware of this, so they all make their own arrangements.

Especially when Geng Qingping found that although Lu Chuan's army was chasing after him, it was probably because of his physical exhaustion, so that he was gradually thrown away by a certain distance, he did not take the opportunity to leave with the rest of the army, but started the idea of whether to fight a counterattack and strive to turn the defeat around.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, he put a lot of pressure on everyone in the Han Dynasty from top to bottom, from civil to military, especially a general like Geng Qingping, who commanded the army outside, and could clearly feel the emperor's attitude towards him, and when he reused it, he was a little suspicious and scrutinized, which made him feel that his position was not very stable.

If the emperor's personal order is messed up this time, Geng Qingping can imagine that even if he goes back and is not questioned, he is afraid that he will not be very comfortable for the rest of his life.

At this time, looking at the gradually widening distance between the soldiers and horses on both sides, Geng Qingping's state of mind, which had been as calm as water, was a little chaotic. Because this opportunity is so good, there is enough space between the two for 100,000 cavalry to rush into, as if the enemy has stretched out his cleaned neck and waited for his knife to cut it.

In the face of such a temptation, how could Geng Qingping endure it.

But he still has some sanity and calmness in his heart now, so he vaguely feels that all this is too "logical", so much so that it is like the other party deliberately put out a bait to trap himself.

Should I send cavalry to counterattack? Geng Qingping finally made up his mind after a short hesitation, gritted his teeth and said, "Order, cavalry attack." ”

Geng Qingping didn't know how risky it was, but he couldn't help but gamble. Because of a gamble, Xing may win with defeat. But if you don't gamble, you will inevitably be unlucky when you go back. As for what happens if he loses a bet? Now Geng Qingping can't care about such a thing at all.

"Boom, boom, boom......" Geng Qingping's order was quickly transmitted, and then the thunderous sound of horses' hooves rang out, rushing from far and near.

It is said that there are more than 10,000 soldiers, and there is no boundary, not to mention that there are still 100,000 cavalry at this time, and it is really boundless at a glance, as if a black cloud suddenly appeared at the place where heaven and earth meet, and then it floated over at a very fast speed.

The horses' hooves rumbled like thunder, and the ground trembled violently with the galloping of 100,000 horses, and the 100,000 cavalry lined up neatly in an unknown number of columns, as if layers of black waves were rushing from a distance.

The distance between each column of cavalry was so narrow that there was hardly room for a single person to pass through, and from a distance it looked as if a man was clinging to a horse, as if it were a strong and fierce wall.

"It's over! Cavalry!"

"What to do?!The cavalry is coming!?"

............

The moment they saw the cavalry appear, the Lu Chuan army, which was originally chasing the enemy behind, was all stunned, followed by an indescribable panic.

As long as he is a normal person, he does not feel fear in the face of the roaring cavalry array.

Of course, Lu Chuan's elite generals are not very good. It's just that before they turned around and fled out of fear, the overseers behind them had already begun to shout loudly, and even killed a few more powerful soldiers who were shouting, which could be regarded as temporarily stabilizing the situation.

At that time, everyone could see that these people were already panicking. When the cavalry rushed closer, perhaps before the cavalry's weapons fell on them, they would flee in fear.

"Kill them all. The rear Dudu stood on the Heavenly Demon Banner and ordered in a loud voice.

The sound of the horse's hooves like a thunderbolt may not be very loud, but the souls who were already eager to try it heard it, so they let out a shout and began to charge.

You must know that Xia Fan's soul bodies are not only human souls, but also beast souls, although they are all soul bodies, but the combat power that can be exerted in this kind of scene is different.

"Roaring ......" Instead of being afraid of such a scene, the beast souls who were condensed as essence became extremely excited, and then began to rush towards the cavalry group frantically.

Many human souls also jumped on top of the beast souls, riding them and began to charge.

As for those with no beast souls to ride, they either run wildly or fly at low altitudes, in short, they are very fast.

Because the blood and evil qi on the bodies of the souls were too strong, they rushed forward in line at this time, and the blood and evil qi fused together, and from a distance, it looked like a sea of blood was churning and surging, and the figures that were jumping and shuttling in the sea of blood were like evil ghosts emerging from hell.

"It doesn't matter who he is or a ghost, kill them all!" The cavalry of the Han Dynasty couldn't help but be shocked when they saw the enemy clearly, but their arrogance made them not the slightest fear, but let out a deafening roar.

"Kill them all!" 100,000 people shouted together, and the sound was like thunder, spreading and echoing over the boundless battlefield.

The sea of blood formed by the souls of "Bang ......" collided with the black waves composed of the cavalry, and the earth-shattering sound was accompanied by the screams and neighing of people and horses before they died.

War is never beautiful, especially this kind of life-and-death battle, life becomes extremely cheap at this time, so the line of collision between the two sides is like an instant into a huge grinding plate, countless lives are thrown into it, into a bloody corpse and blood rushing on the ground.

The numbers of the two sides are about the same, and the strength is not too different. Although there are a lot of high-end combat power on the soul body's side, there are also soul soldiers and soul generals who have just joined, and although the cavalry of the Han Dynasty lacks high-end force, it is better than the overall strength balance, so the disadvantage is not obvious in this kind of cluster collision.

But the result was an almost one-sided slaughter.

Almost after a collision, nearly 30,000 cavalry of the Han Dynasty died.

"Poof!" Seeing that the cavalry at the front was cut by half as if they had been cut wheat, Geng Qingping, who had been watching all this, couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood. He knew he was done.

"But how can this be?!Even 30,000 pigs won't say that they are dead, besides, I am the most elite and brave cavalry!" Geng Qingping couldn't believe that this was true, and he couldn't understand what was going on.

In fact, the reason why the cavalry of the Han Dynasty was killed 30,000 in one hedge, although the cause was the soul body, but it was the cavalry themselves who caused this result.

Under the collision just now, there were actually not many cavalrymen who really died under the attack of the soul body, at most five or six thousand people, and the rest were dismounted by the soul body in various ways.

The cavalry is fierce and difficult to resist, but it is also impossible to stop, so even if the cavalry behind sees their colleagues fall off their horses, they can only rush over on horseback, they cannot stop, otherwise what awaits them is the collision of the cavalry behind.

Countless horses trampled past, and unless they were extremely lucky, the cavalry who fell off their horses was certain to die.

When the horses in front are without cavalry, the speed of running will inevitably slow down, which also causes the cavalry behind to slow down, so it becomes slower and slower.

The reason why the cavalry is powerful is not only the advantage of height, but also related to the super fast speed and powerful impact power. When the cavalry loses its lightning speed, it becomes vulnerable.

And the souls are not ordinary soldiers, they look very solid, wearing armor and helmets, but they are not flesh, so they are not afraid of the cavalry charge, and they also have a speed advantage, which makes them have an overwhelming advantage in the face of slowing down cavalry.

At this point, there is no suspense in the battle. Geng Qingping also knew very well that the general situation was gone, and he didn't even think about saving those cavalrymen, because they were completely finished.

"100,000 cavalry, one charge will be over! My reputation will be ruined in one fell swoop!" Poof......" Thinking of this, Geng Qingping spurted out two mouthfuls of blood, and his face was already extremely difficult to see. It can be seen how hard this battle hit him.

Geng Qingping wanted to take the remaining more than 200,000 infantry away, but how could Lu Chuan let him get his wish, pursue, intercept, fight, and escape again.

However, Xia Fan was no longer interested in looking further, he said to Lu Chuan: "After this battle, don't kill the prisoners, those who are willing to surrender are reorganized, those who are unwilling to surrender are sent to Baishi City as coolies, and those who die are all returned to the Han Dynasty, remember to ask them, I heard that there are bandits ravaging the Han border, we have caught some here, ask if they are the ones they want? If not, we are very willing to help them suppress the bandits." ”

"Yes. Lu Chuan agreed, but he laughed in his heart.

Geng Qingping's excuse for blatantly committing crimes was to suppress bandits, but now they are being exterminated as bandits. This is definitely a slap in the face of the Han Dynasty, and what is even more ruthless is that in the face of such an inquiry, it is difficult for the Han Dynasty to answer.

admit it, that is equivalent to saying that the army of the Han Dynasty headed by Geng Qingping is a bandit. But if he denied it, Lu Chuan's side would be able to refuse to return the body. In this way, it is difficult to give an explanation to the relatives of these soldiers.

"Not only does my new lord not rub sand in his eyes, but he also seems to be in retribution. You'll have to be careful in the future. When Lu Chuan sent Xia Fan away, he thought silently in his heart.
