This battalion loaded heavy cavalry broke through the gap under the city wall of the West Gate, and launched an assault in an instant along the wide corridor under the city wall.

The scouts had already carefully surveyed the area, and the road along the west gate wall was about three feet wide, which was of great military significance in itself, and was used to mobilize troops in wartime, while separating the line of the city wall from the civilian houses in the city.

Even after the Xuzhou Army and the Caizhou Army occupied Songcheng, the Caizhou Army was more likely to lay out the defense system along the streets and alleys and houses in the east-west direction, and this gallop road remained in its original state, which was also conducive to the mobilization of the Caizhou Army on this line.

No one would have imagined that this gap would be opened from a corner of the city wall, and it was so lightning fast that the heavy cavalry of the Xuzhou army rushed in and launched a furious assault offensive.

This kind of heavy iron cavalry with iron armor and horse armor all over the body of one person and one horse is more than 800 catties per horse, and once it accelerates to charge, its power can be imagined.

In particular, such a wide but straight gallop road is simply a natural battlefield for such a heavy rider.

Hundreds of horsemen poured in along the gap in the wall, and galloped along the gallop to the north, smashing everything in their path, including some catapults set up in rows.

Equipped heavy riders are not suitable for urban street fighting, but in certain areas, a little impact can do wonders.

Especially when accompanied by a large number of infantry, this advantage is more likely to translate into victory.

Songzhou, as the Central Plains Liang is second only to Bianliang and Luoyang, the scale of its state governance is naturally not small, the west city wall is nine miles long, and this battalion equipped with iron cavalry swept along the west city wall under the gallop road, the entire Caizhou army in this line of arrangement was stirred up.

What made the Caizhou army vomit blood even more was that this battalion of the Caizhou army swept by, followed by the Wuning infantry army of the two armies from here, which was equivalent to a knife from behind the Caizhou army that was still fighting with the Ziqing army in front, even if the Caizhou army had achieved a considerable advantage on both wings, but being reversed by such a knife suddenly turned the situation around.

Groups of Xuzhou infantry attacked fiercely along the city wall, and they divided into two directions, and then evolved into three directions to launch a surprise attack.

One direction directly launched an offensive along the gallop under the city wall, and this direction directly swept the Caizhou army on the front line of the city wall; the second direction was to break through along the city wall to the east and west, and give the Caizhou army that was still struggling to resist to be dealt a fatal blow in the back; the other direction was to extend from the second direction, from the southwest to the northeast in a diagonal line, and this knife would cut the Caizhou army in half.

The swarming Wuning infantry army was like a wolf and a tiger, taking advantage of this sudden attack, constantly expanding and expanding the battle line, and beating the entire Caizhou army's originally looked formation to pieces, especially its combat method of forming a formation is unprecedented, so that the Caizhou army cannot cope at all.

Gu Conghu has never had such a happy moment, the dancing mace brought a rain of blood in the sky, he used the impact power of the mounted iron horse to constantly tear apart the Caizhou infantry army that came to block, he himself has the strength of the fixed period and the momentum that has been accumulated for a long time to burst out, which makes the power of his assault battalion skyrocket.

Wherever there was an assembly of Caizhou's infantry army, he led the team to charge, smashing the opponent's assembly and completely destroying the opponent's intention to reorganize the defense.

The Wuning infantry army that accompanied the iron cavalry also obviously had a tactical coordination drill for this routine, and followed behind this iron cavalry and swept away, and soon began to shake the defense system of the Caizhou army in the entire Song City.

With the impact of this knife from behind, the defense line of the Caizhou army, which was originally struggling to resist the impact from the center, was finally unable to support it and quickly collapsed, and the offensive of breaking through the flank to the center was also contained, and the entire battle situation was suddenly reversed and irreversible.

The collapse of the entire front swept through the western part of Song City like a flood, and even affected the control of the entire West Gate, which was the core of the control of the Caizhou army, and once it was lost, the army in the city would be almost wiped out.

A mouthful of reverse blood gushed out from his heart, Yuan Huaiqing's body shook, and the surrounding soldiers turned pale with fright, if Yuan Huaiqing fell at this time, it would really be called the general trend, "General!"

The big lance in his hand was buzzing, and at this time, Yuan Huaiqing just wanted to go down and behead the leading Wuning cavalry under the horse, but he knew that he must not be impulsive at this time, and this mouthful of blood spurted out, but it made the breath much smoother.

I can't be rash, if I really want to jump down, I'm afraid that I can really only fall into it, and I can't extricate myself anymore, and what about the more than 20,000 Caizhou troops?

Although the temples at both ends jumped suddenly, Yuan Huaiqing kept reminding himself that he couldn't be impulsive and couldn't do anything, so he had to find a way to save himself to the greatest extent.

At this time, it is no longer the time to consider how the Xuzhou army managed to make the southwest city wall suddenly collapse and cause the hole in its rear flank to open, there is no doubt that it should be a magic or something like this to do this, otherwise even if it is a tunnel excavation, it is impossible to cause such a situation in such a short time.

is still too careless, underestimating the endless tricks on the Xuzhou army's side, which makes Yuan Huaiqing regret it.

Liu Yansi and Wang Shouxin, were these guys just a martial artist when they were in the Pinglu Army? Why have they become so cunning and wise now?

Or has the development level of these magic instruments on the Xuzhou Army's side reached a situation where it can already influence the strategic and tactical changes of the Xuzhou Army?

If it's the former, it's okay, if it's the latter, it's really a worrying problem, the magic strength of the Xuzhou Army has swelled so fast, it can't help but make people vigilant.

Now is not the time to think about these things, the problem to be solved now is how to get rid of the situation that is already showing the trend of rout, so that the vitality of the Caizhou army can be preserved to the greatest extent.

Yuan Huaiqing knows the importance of this army to Caizhou, Songcheng cannot be taken, then the final Songzhou matter must be resolved through negotiations, and these armies are real living forces that need to be preserved.

didn't have time to think about it, Yuan Huaiqing issued an order for Yuan Wuwei and Zhao Yonghui to maintain the advance and oppression, and contain the enemy, while the other departments should choose to start retreating to the west, and at the same time press the reserves outside the city gate, even if it is a corpse pad, some will contain the Wuning army that rushed in from the southwest corner, only in this way can the Caizhou army on the front line have a chance to retreat.

Yuan Huaiqing is no longer extravagant to retreat, the Xuzhou army has put such a trap, which is to trap all the Caizhou army here, and now what he has to do is to minimize losses.

The West Gate was opened, and the reserve of an army poured in from outside the city gate to engage in hand-to-hand combat with Gu Conghu's iron cavalry, and the addition of this new force also curbed the iron cavalry, and at the same time protected the Caizhou army in the Xicheng to a certain extent.

However, the situation on the southwest front, which had suffered this major blow, had deteriorated sharply, and the Caizhou army was obviously overwhelmed and had to move to the north, and soon the entire southwest was captured by the Xuzhou army, and the whole situation was irreversible.

The Caizhou cavalry also fought fiercely with the attacking Wuning cavalry outside the West Gate, and they had to entangle the enemy, otherwise once the West Gate was lost, then the entire Caizhou army would be locked up in the city and wiped out.

Looking at the flames and black smoke that kept rising from the city, Yuan Wuwei realized that this battle had been lost.

In the duel of strength and strategy, the Xuzhou army had the last laugh.

When the Caizhou army took out the last resort, the Xuzhou army still had a killer plan, which means that there is no suspense in the war.

Yuan Huaiqing's order has been passed over, steadily retreat, choose the opportunity to counterattack, choose the right time to withdraw from the city, although he knows that this decision is difficult to make, but Yuan Wuwei believes that this is also Yuan Huaiqing's helpless move.

Being in the game, Yuan Wuwei naturally couldn't understand the changes in the situation on the entire battlefield, but he knew that Yuan Huaiqing would definitely make this decision when he knew that he couldn't do anything, and he could only follow it.

The Dragon Flame Heavenly King Knife took a hard hit from Wang Shouxin's soul locking whip, and the powerful concussive force made both of them retreat three steps in the air, Wang Shouxin smiled with a touch of hideousness, "Yuan Wuwei, can you, the Wuwei Heavenly King, reverse today's situation?"

"Wang Shouxin, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, one report and one report, the battle of Songzhou is not over, if Xuzhou really has the ability to fight with the Shatuo people, this Songzhou, the Yuan family doesn't want it, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat!"

At this time, Yuan Wuwei was physically and mentally connected, although this battle was defeated, but it does not mean that the battle of Songzhou is over, now the situation in the Central Plains has become increasingly clear, the Shatuo people are dominant, and Xuzhou wants to contend with the Shatuo people, then it is inevitable to unite Caizhou and Nanyang, this Songzhou, there is still a fight.

"Hmph, whether you can eat it or not, that's our Xuzhou business, and it has nothing to do with your Caizhou, but you can't even eat it, we give it to you, do you dare?"

Wang Shouxin also refused to lose the upper hand in the momentum, this battle was not seen until this time, and it can be seen that the Caizhou army was difficult, and the two armies of the Ziqing Army and the Wuning Army were gathered to win this battle, to be honest, Wang Shouxin really felt a little uncomfortable.

Too lazy to rub his tongue with Wang Shouxin, Yuan Wuwei's Dragon Flame Heavenly King Knife suddenly picked up, and several waves of fire floated up, and Wang Shouxin also unceremoniously shook up black clouds, brazenly caught up, and collided together.
