Chapter 228: Fierce Fighting

The charge of the cavalry has always been a nightmare for the infantry, when a large force of cavalry attacked the large array of the Wu army, Lu Xun hurriedly ordered the large formation of the Wu army to start a spear formation to resist the impact of the cavalry.

The troops of Eastern Wu were the strongest in the navy, followed by the infantry, but like the former Shu Han, there was a serious lack of cavalry, but in the course of years of conquest with the Wei State, a set of infantry methods against cavalry was also formed.

For example, setting up horses to resist horses, digging trenches, arranging iron thistles, etc., plus the infantry to form a dense spear formation, these can effectively offset the power of a part of the cavalry.

However, because the cavalry led by Wen Yuan suddenly appeared, Lu Xun had no time to arrange the horse rejection trenches and other things, so for the sake of today's plan, he could only quickly arrange a large number of spear phalanxes in front of the big array to resist the impact of the cavalry.

The cavalry charged extremely fast, and soon rushed to a distance of less than one hundred and fifty paces from the Wu army's large array, and the Wu army's large array began to shoot dense arrows, and the arrows fell, shooting over some of the cavalry in the charge.

However, more cavalry galloped harder, and a distance of 100 paces could rush to the large array of the Wu army in just a moment, and the cavalry that charged had already set up several fronts to lose formation, like a sharp awl, to chisel through the large array of Eastern Wu.

And in front of one of the fronts, the one who led the troops to rush to the forefront was Wen Yuan, a white-robed Wen Yuan, a Valkyrie recognized by both the Wei army and Shu Han.

On the side of Eastern Wu, in addition to the major phalanxes formed, the few 1,000 cavalry also jumped out of the formation under the leadership of Gan Xin and rushed towards the cavalry led by Wen Yuan, in order to delay the offensive of the opponent's cavalry.

The biggest advantage of cavalry is that when the speed reaches a certain level, the power of the charge is almost impossible for the infantry to resist, but once the speed of this charge is hindered and reduced, the cavalry that loses the power of the charge and falls into hand-to-hand combat may not be the opponent of the infantry.

Of course, cavalry hedging is also an extremely dangerous thing, especially in the case of being outnumbered, it is very likely to be directly killed by the opponent's charge, but Gan Xin is not afraid, on the one hand, because she has absolute confidence in her martial arts; On the other hand, she also dared to charge with the determination to live to die.

After Zhang Liao defeated Sun Quan's 100,000-strong army in Xiaoyaojin, Eastern Wu lost face and the army's morale was shaken. It was his grandfather Gan Ning, who led a hundred horsemen to rob the Wei camp, galloping through the Wei camp with extraordinary force, and killing him whenever he could. The battalions clamoured, raised fire like stars, and shouted loudly. Gan Ning came out of the south gate of the village, and no one dared to stop him.

This is the most glorious moment in Gan Ning's life, even Sun Quan was amazed, and praised Gan Ning again and again: "Meng De has Zhang Liao, and there is Gan Xingba alone, which is enough to be an enemy!" ”

Gan Xin has always hoped for the opportunity to regain Gan Ning's past glory, lead the army to walk among the enemy's ten thousand troops, and achieve a good story.

Therefore, he took the initiative to invite Ying and led the army to hedge against Wen Yuan's cavalry array.

Wen Yuan saw that a cavalry force had been killed in the Eastern Wu army, so he wanted to defeat the Wu army in one fell swoop with an absolute superiority of troops. Chen Tai and Xiahou Ba saw that the Wu army had killed a cavalry, and immediately handed over the task of dealing with the Wu army's cavalry to Wen Yuan, both of whom knew Wen Yuan's martial arts, and they were very relieved about it.

After avoiding the cavalry attacking by Gansin, the large cavalry arrays on the left and right flanks continued to charge forward.

"Kill!"

The shouts of killing from both sides shook the sky, and some of the cavalrymen leveled their cavalry spears in their hands, and some raised their sabers in their hands, hoping to kill the enemy's head in the first round of hedge.

Wen Yuan's department, relying on the large number of people, immediately changed the front lost formation to the front lost formation and the crane wing formation, Wen Yuan continued to lead the main force to hedge, and the two wings divided their forces to outflank the Wu cavalry.

However, Gan Xin's troops were insufficient and he did not dare to divide his troops, so he could only let the army line up as much as possible, and put on a fish-scale array to alternately cover the forward charge, so as to delay the Wei army's charging speed to the greatest extent.

With a bang, the two cavalry collided together, and Wen Yuan raised his spear and intersected with Gan Xin's broadsword.

With a loud bang, a huge aura of white and red exploded in front of the formation, forming a powerful wave of qi, which quickly rippled along the center where the weapons of the two men intersected, setting off a powerful whirlwind, and actually overturned a large circle of cavalry.

The war horse could not withstand such a big impact, and Wen Yuan and Gan Xin chose to dismount and fight on foot almost at the same time.

The two female generals jumped up from their horses at the same time and soared into the air, Gan Xin jumped three feet high, raised the war knife above his head, and seemed to want to volley down and slash Wen Yuan.

And Wen Yuan's sword also rose into the air like a white rainbow, even higher than Ganxin, and between the swing of the spear, the whole person turned into a dazzling white rainbow, volleying towards Ganxin.

Gan Xin saw that Wen Yuan's momentum did not lose to him at all, so he turned into a dragon slash, slashed upwards with his sword, and fought fiercely with Wen Yuan in the air.

In the sky in front of the battle, two rays of light, one white and one red, were constantly fighting at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, overflowing with powerful true qi and bursts of whistling whirlwinds, causing all the soldiers in a radius of 100 paces around them to fall to the ground as if they had been blown down by a strong wind blowing down a wheat field.

The entire battlefield seemed to have become a stage for Wen Yuan and Gan Xin, and the fierce battle surprised countless people.

At this moment, on the battlefield, the rolling cavalry has entered the Wu army's large array, although the Wu army has formed a gun formation, but tens of thousands of cavalry charged, almost unstoppable, and the pikeman phalanx in front of the large array was powerless to stop the cavalry's charge.

Soon, the pikemen phalanx in front of the Wu army was broken through one by one, and after the knights broke the infantry phalanx, Chen Tai and Xiahou Ba respectively led the cavalry to frantically rush forward to attack the Wu army's large array.

Gan Xin's resistance in front of the formation did not stop except for a buffer opportunity for the Wu army on the frontal battlefield, and the Wu army's large array began to waver.

Lu Xun knew that it would be impossible to capture Shangyong today, the enemy's reinforcements had arrived, and he suddenly attacked, disrupting Lu Xun's original deployment.

Lu Xun had no choice but to order the whole army to retreat and fight again at another date!

After the great array of Eastern Wu, the sound of gold rang out, and the troops of the Wu army began to retreat in an orderly manner towards the Wu army camp in the east.

Chen Tai and Xiahou Ba led the cavalry to constantly drive the Wu army away from Shangyong City, and the Wu army had already lost the battle.

However, the victory or defeat on the battlefield did not seem to affect the fierce battle between Wen Yuan and Gan Xin in the slightest.

The two of them hit the ground from mid-air, from the front of the formation to the outside of the formation, as if only the two of them were left in heaven and earth.

The true air swirls like a huge wave crashing on the shore, overturning everything around it, and the battle spirit of the sword and gun intersecting is like the tide of the sea. Whether it was the cavalry on attack or the retreating Soochow army, no one dared to get close to the center of the battle between the two.

lest if you step within a radius of 100 steps, you will be crushed to pieces by the ruthless true qi and monstrous killing intent.

Gan Xin, who killed the red-eyed, had never encountered such a powerful opponent as Wen Yuan in her life, even in the face of Jiang Wei, she had never forced her to such a point, so that she had to go all out, as long as she made a slight mistake, she would be in a different place, and even the "Extremely Fierce Knife" that she was most proud of had no chance to use at all.

And Wen Yuan also rarely felt that the girl in front of her who exuded fiery red true qi was the only master she had ever seen in her life, and she even had to use nine points of true qi to fight the enemy. This woman's true qi is as endless as the vast sea, so that she does not dare to be careless at all.

However, Wen Yuan knew that as long as he continued to fight, he would definitely be able to disrupt the rules of the female general in front of him and find a flaw.

However, at this time, there was a clear shout from the Wu army:

"Ganxin, stand down!"

This voice was like a mysterious sound outside the sky, clear and ethereal, which made the red-eyed girl wake up suddenly, and then slashed away from Wen Yuan's spear with a knife, turning into a red light, and quickly withdrew.

Wen Yuan put away his spear and did not pursue, after all, the Wu army had already been repulsed!
