Zhang wandered on the top of the hill, condescendingly and carefully looked at the opponent's formation, and found that the shield array at the front was not a neat straight line, but an arc. In addition, Zhang Luo also found that behind the shield is not only supported by manpower, but also by wooden brackets to support each shield, and hundreds of vertical brackets behind the shield converge on a large war vehicle in the army. There were a total of seven or eight wooden chariots in the Chinese army, and the shield array covered the entire front army, so it was no wonder that they were able to block the two-wheel charge of the Yunhai Iron Cavalry.

This is the method that Ye Hengqiu thought of according to the "Cloud Piercing Chariot" he saw under the Wind Gully Pass, and rushed to make these things in the Wind Gully Pass, which he called the "Wooden Shield Car", but these chariots have no attack ability, and they have no similarities with the chariot except that they can move, but they are very heavy and difficult to move after locking the wheels, thus becoming a sharp weapon for consolidating the shield array.

Zhang Luo secretly admired in his heart, and commanded the Yunhai Iron Cavalry to divide into two and attack the two wings of the coalition army. The biggest problem with this kind of shield array is that it is cumbersome and takes up space, and it is impossible to enclose all directions. Sure enough, when the cavalry rushed to both flanks, the opponent's defensive strength weakened sharply. The Yunhai Iron Cavalry gradually separated, gradually surrounding the main formation of the coalition army.

Wei Zhongjue was on the high slope, holding the handsome flag in his hand, and showed a sneer. Although Ye Hengqiu's move resisted the frontal charge of the Yunhai Iron Cavalry, it also limited his attack. Under the high slope, the Yunhai Iron Cavalry has already surrounded the coalition forces, although there is less momentum to charge, it is difficult for them to break through the defense line for a while, but with the strength of the Yunhai Iron Cavalry, it is only a matter of time before they break through.

Wei Zhongjue waved the handsome flag in his hand, and several soldiers not far behind him beat the war drums to pass the military order. The Yunhai Iron Cavalry began to shrink its offensive and prepare to reorganize the charge. Suddenly, another army suddenly rushed out of the distant field of vision, advancing at full speed, looking at the direction, it was directly towards the high slope where Wei Zhongjue was. This team was only a few thousand people, but they were all light horses, and they quickly swept in the direction of Wei Zhongjue. Wei Zhongjue's face remained unchanged, and he waved the handsome flag again, and two thousand Yunhai Iron Horsemen suddenly appeared after Gao Po, and the blue and white armor shone in the sun.

Sun Yun's horse followed closely by Suo Pingzhang's side, looking at the blue and white gradually gathering on the high slope opposite, his face was solemn. He looked at Suo Pingzhang next to him, his expression was still unpredictable. Although this was all Ye Hengqiu's design, it was still very thrilling to use their thousands of people against the thousands of Yunhai Iron Riders rushing down like a tide.

He thought that Suo Pingzhang would be passive and slack off, and the so-called "all-out help" was just an empty word, but Suo Pingzhang really took the lead and rushed to the front of this light cavalry, facing the sea of clouds.

The vanguard of the two armies was like two sharp swords, piercing into each other's fiercely. Sun Yun and Suo Pingzhang reluctantly held off the vanguard of the Yunhai Iron Cavalry, but the soldiers behind them were not so lucky, and hundreds of soldiers collapsed in an instant under the impact like a bubble that disappeared in the tide.

Suo Pingzhang held two swords in his hands and slashed left and right among the cavalry. But his double knives are not convenient for immediate combat, and they do not seem to be sharp blades, they have no foothold on the horse, their strength is too small, sometimes they do not use their strength, and they can only scratch white marks on the opponent's armor. Although the other party couldn't help him for a while, his influence was also limited. Sun Yun only reluctantly defended himself in the blue-white frenzy.

Wei Zhongjue looked at Suo Pingzhang who rushed out, now they just relied on the advantage of numbers to barely carry the Yunhai Iron Cavalry, and after a long time, their collapse was completely predictable. He unconsciously showed a smug smile, and he himself used it as bait, and sure enough, he drew out the hidden strength of the other party.

Ye Hengqiu's main force used the wooden shield car to draw with the Yunhai Iron Cavalry. The Yunhai Iron Cavalry could not break through the defensive line, and the coalition forces could not break through the encirclement. Wei Zhongjue was looking at the formation of the Yunhai Iron Cavalry, thinking about how to break through the gap between the coalition formations, but the formation of the coalition forces changed suddenly.

At the front of the coalition formation, there was originally a shield wall composed of several layers of shields, but at this time, thousands of shields fell down like fallen leaves, revealing the wooden shield cart behind it. Wei Zhongjue couldn't see what was behind the shield wall clearly, he just guessed that there was a large structure behind him as a support, but at this time, the shield wall fell, and he saw that the horizontal wooden stakes that were nearly two feet thick were used to support the shield.

When the shield wall resists the charge, it is the stakes that are mainly affected by the impact, and the soldier's role is mainly to hold the shield so that it does not fall from the stake. At this time, the stowed shield was placed under the stake, forming a slide.

What surprised Wei Zhongjue the most was that the wooden stakes, which were nearly two feet thick, could be removed from the wooden shield cart and just landed on the slide rails laid by the soldiers, but dozens of wooden stakes that should have been heavy were placed on the shields and slid out effortlessly under the thrust of the soldiers, and spread out in front of the coalition formation, making room for the people behind.

Wei Zhongjue reacted quickly and understood the purpose of Ye Hengqiu's design. Originally, although the wooden shield carts helped to fend off the cavalry charge, they also limited their own attacks from the front. If the Yunhai Iron Cavalry specialized in their unprotected flanks, this formation would be broken sooner or later. But it is also because of this that the Yunhai Iron Cavalry is distributed on both flanks, and there is almost no defense in front of the coalition army. Therefore, he could only watch as an army came out of the gap in front of him and headed straight for Wei Zhongjue's camp.

Xiao Mu was followed by a thousand people, and all of their war horses were carefully selected, although they were not as fast as the mounts of the Yunhai Iron Horse, they were also extremely fast. A thousand men and horses quickly swept over the shields and horizontal stakes piled up in front of them, piercing Wei Zhongjue's location like arrows. Xiao Mu was a little excited in his heart now, and his heart was pounding like a drum. He was given the most crucial and final step in this tactic: aiming at the heart of the enemy! Success or failure was tied to the front line, and he urged the war horse under his crotch to run towards Wei Zhongjue as fast as possible.

Wei Zhongjue's face was extremely ugly. He never expected that Ye Hengqiu would have a back hand, and the thousands of people led by Suo Pingzhang before were actually just bait, forcing him to show the chess pieces in his hand and put the two thousand people used for self-protection into the battlefield. He now has less than a hundred personal soldiers around him, and he is completely powerless to stop him.

A thousand people quickly occupied Gaopo and surrounded Wei Zhongjue and dozens of soldiers, but they did not attack immediately. Xiao Mu immediately crossed his sword, looked at Wei Zhongjue, and shouted, "Tell your people to retreat!"

Under the high slope, the gap that Xiao Mu and others rushed out also became a gap in defense. The Yunhai Iron Cavalry poured in like a flood, and it wouldn't take long for the defense line established by Ye Hengqiu to collapse. And Suo Pingzhang's side was even more dangerous, the whole team was cut into several pieces, and the soldiers could only gather together at will to fight separately, and the direct battle of the cavalry on both sides was obviously the upper hand of the coalition army. And these, naturally, can't escape the eyes of both sides on the high slope.

Wei Zhongjue quickly adjusted his mood, tried to make an unhurried expression, and said with a smile: "This is not easy to do, you are surrounded by groups like this, and the people below can neither see the handsome flag nor hear the war drums." ”

Zheng Fang's face showed anger, and he was about to step forward, but was stopped by Xiao Mu stretching out his hand. Xiao Mu's face was also flat, and he said, "I know you want to delay time, it seems that you have a lot of confidence in your cavalry?"

Wei Zhongjue smiled and said, "Then why don't we see what happens next?"

"You and I both know very well that you are the biggest factor affecting the direction of the battlefield. To be honest, we are indeed afraid of the strength of the Yunhai Iron Cavalry, so if you are unwilling to retreat, we can only try to fight hard, the leaderless cavalry is not good at positional warfare, not to mention that we are more than twice as many as you, you might as well give it a try. It's just that if we succeed, I don't know if Ling Zun will be able to bear the loss of all the Yunhai Iron Cavalry, and also lose three sons at the same time, plus a blow from Zhang Xuan?" Xiao Mu looked at Wei Zhongjue with a smile.

Wei Zhongjue weighed the pros and cons in his heart, but his face remained silent: "Aren't you worried about the support of Cloud City?"

Xiao Mu shrugged: "We might as well gamble, what we bet on is that you didn't have time to send out the order for help." The stakes are life and death. His tone was very cold, but he heard Wei Zhongjue's heart. "Judging by your expression, it looks like we got the bet right. ”

"This is Ye Hengqiu's madman's style, then I will only die. Wei Zhongjue said solemnly.

Xiao Mu looked at Wei Zhongjue's calm expression, the color on his face flashed, and then said with a smile: "Do you guess Ling Zun, after losing the Yunhai Iron Cavalry and Zhang Xuan, can you still resist the anger of Muzhou, Shajiang City and Benhai City?"

Wei Zhongjue's face finally changed, but it wasn't all because of Xiao Mu's threat. Yunzhou has a strong military in recent years, and the four brothers and Zhang Xi, Lin Li and others have played an important role. Although Wei Zhuoxi's own ability is undoubted, but now that he is far away, if he is really wiped out today, then the defensive forces and morale in Cloud City will be low to the bottom.

Wei Zhuoxi took Bai Xishang away, so Wei Zhongjue was not very convinced of the strength of the generals in Yunzhong City, and the loss of Yunhai Iron Cavalry was even worse. On the other hand, he was very jealous of Ye Hengqiu. Since suffering a big loss due to the underestimation of the enemy this time, he felt more and more that Ye Hengqiu was a big trouble. Before leaving, his father specially instructed the four of them not to act rashly, he didn't want Wei Zhuoxi to come back and find that Cloud City had been lost. Therefore, he began to think about Xiao Mu's proposal.

Xiao Mu saw the change in the expression on his face and knew that his words had worked. They really didn't have confidence in the battle against the Yunhai Iron Cavalry, and they really didn't know whether Cloud City would support them, so they proposed that the two sides retreat temporarily. Therefore, he did not urge, and waited for Wei Zhongjue to answer.

After a while, Wei Zhongjue spoke: "What conditions?"

"You immediately have your men retreat and retreat to Cloudsdale. ”

Wei Zhongjue pondered for a moment and nodded. Xiao Mu and Zheng Fang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly rejoiced in their hearts. Wei Zhongjue was also very simple, and immediately commanded his own soldiers to beat the war drums and ordered the Yunhai Iron Cavalry to retreat.

He suddenly turned his head, looked at Xiao Mu, and said, "Trouble King Chengji to tell Ye Xiaowang that I am waiting for you in Cloud City, and today's matter is not over yet." ”

Xiao Mu nodded, and Wei Zhongjue stopped talking and took the lead in the direction of Cloud City.

The sound of soldiers under the high slope gradually died out, and only the sound of horses' hooves remained. The retreat of the Yunhai Iron Cavalry was still orderly, but the speed was much slower than the charge, and it slowly retreated towards Cloud City.

Xiao Mu rode his horse to Ye Hengqiu's side, and Suo Pingzhang and Sun Yun were also there. Everyone had minor injuries, but fortunately they were not serious. Ye Hengqiu saw Xiao Mu and nodded lightly.

"This rhetoric really worked, the Yunhai Iron Cavalry has retreated to Cloud City, and this high ground is left to us. Xiao Mu said with a smile.

Ye Hengqiu didn't look very happy: "Yunhai Iron Rider, it really lives up to its reputation." In fact, General Suo and I are both at the end of the crossbow just now, if Wei Zhongjue is determined to lose both, even if there is no him in command, we may not be able to please well. Fortunately, Xiao Wangye successfully persuaded him, which is really a great achievement, and the younger generation has thanked Xiao Wangye. As he spoke, he saluted Xiao Mu on the horse.

Xiao Mu smiled indifferently: "Wherever and wherever it is, it is all the work of Ye Xiaowang Ye who is strategizing and running, and this king does not dare to take credit." ”

Suo Pingzhang laughed on the side, and said with a smile: "Why are you so polite, we have won this battle, and it is the right thing to camp and rest." After speaking, without waiting for Ye Hengqiu to respond, he went to organize his soldiers to set up camp.

Ye Hengqiu looked worried, walked to the corpse of an enemy cavalry not far away, looked at their armor and war horses, and secretly lost his mind.
