Chapter 273: Fierce Battle

Since he chose to fight a decisive battle with Biqiu Jian, Jiang Wei no longer kept it and tried his best to attack Qingyang City.

After Lu Xun's hard persuasion, Jiang Wei put himself in Sima Yi's current situation and found that if he was Sima Yi, it was indeed the best way to solve the problem if he was indeed staying in Wancheng and not moving.

After all, the battle situation in Yangzhou is going well, and there is really no need for Sima Yi to strike first. Therefore, Jiang Wei also figured out a truth, that is, he couldn't wait for Sima Yi's army, and only by attacking Biqiu Jian, the absolute elite of Cao Wei, with all his might, and beating this elite hard, and beating this elite painfully and disabled, Sima Yi would go all out to rescue.

Therefore, Jiang Wei unreservedly invested almost all of the main forces in Qingyang City at one time this time, but he still did not withdraw the main forces of Jianyang and Nieyang, after all, once Sima Yi sent troops, then these two cities must not be lost.

After the battle, the Han army was responsible for attacking the west and north of Qingyang City, and the Eastern Wu was responsible for attacking the east and south of Qingyang City.

Jiang Wei sent 20,000 Liangzhou iron cavalry and 10,000 Qiang cavalry to cover the thunderbolt, after all, Jiang Wei's infantry was not much, only 5,000 Qilin troops, 2,000 Baier troops and 3,000 Yongzhou elites under Zhuge Zhan's command.

There are only 10,000 infantry in full combat, so the infantry is relatively small, and it has to be protected.

However, at this time, the infantry around Jiang Wei is an elite division, and the five thousand Qilin Army almost all have the ability to use one as three, and the two thousand Baier Army are also extremely defensive infantry, especially good at forming formations against cavalry.

The remaining 3,000 Yongzhou elites were selected from the Wei army captured on various battlefields such as Longxi, Tianshui, Nan'an, and Chang'an, all of whom were veterans of a hundred battles, and all of them were wearing composite armor made of copper and iron produced by the Baopen Mountain Copper Mine and Jingtieshan Iron Mine, although the defensive power was not as good as the Qilin Army, but it was enough to crush the vast majority of heavy infantry.

Therefore, when the Thunderbolt army destroyed the immaculate gate of Qingyang City, Jiang Wei immediately ordered the Qilin army to form a formation and prepare to enter the city.

However, just as Jiang Wei was about to lead the army to take the lead in attacking Qingyang City, a large force of cavalry began to pour out from Qingyang City.

The Wei army's tigers and leopards rode out of the formation, they were well-trained, and soon formed a charging formation outside the city, and under the leadership of Hu Zun, they began to rush towards the large array of the Han army.

Their goal was also clear, which was to destroy the Han army's thunderbolts.

Zhuge Zhan quickly ordered the thunderbolts to begin to retreat, while Liang Xu and Fu Tong led the heavily armored infantry to march forward quickly, forming a formation to protect the thunderbolts.

Liang Xu and Wen Yuan, respectively, led the cavalry and began to form formations, preparing to hedge against the cavalry of the Wei army.

The Qiang cavalry under Wen Yuan's command took the lead in attacking, and began to quickly approach the cavalry of the Wei army along the two flanks, constantly shooting arrows at the Wei army, in order to delay the charging speed of the tiger and leopard cavalry.

The Iron Butchers also quickly formed a formation, ready to hedge against the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry again, their morale was high, they easily defeated the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in the last cavalry duel, and this time, they were also confident that they could defeat their opponents again.

Liang Qian even proposed before the battle that he hoped that the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry would not help, and he wanted to defeat the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry alone with only 3,000 Iron Floating Slaughter, so that Hu Zun and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry would be convinced.

But Jiang Wei immediately vetoed this proposal, obviously there was a Liangzhou iron horse and abandoned it, what is the reason? The battlefield is not a place for heroes, so why take risks when you have superior forces? What's more, if this is done, how can the brothers of Liangzhou Tieqi agree? They also want to defeat the tiger and leopard riders.

Therefore, the cavalry of the Han army poured out of the nest and completely defeated the tiger and leopard cavalry outside Qingyang City with absolute superiority.

The south side of Qingyang City is a different scene.

Lu Xun personally commanded an army of 50,000 to form a strong front and braved the rain of arrows of the Wei army to approach Qingyang City, and soon launched a large trebuchet to destroy the gates of Qingyang City.

Originally, everything was going smoothly, but after the gate of Qingyang City was broken, a large force of cavalry poured out of the city, and 20,000 cavalry composed of Jizhou Iron Cavalry and Youzhou Iron Cavalry quickly formed a formation like a rolling torrent and rushed towards Lu Xun's large array.

Lu Xun's subordinates were all infantry, and immediately ordered the whole army to form a shield array, and in the coordination of sword and shield men and pikemen, sharp spears poked out in the shield array to block the attack of the Wei cavalry.

But this time, the Wei cavalry's will to attack was very resolute, desperate to break through the Wu army's defenses. The iron cavalry rolled and launched an indomitable charge towards the large array of the Wu army.

In the large array of the Wu army, the relentless rain of arrows kept shooting, and the galloping knights of the Wei army continued to be hit by arrows and fell off their horses, but even so, the cavalry of the Wei army was still launching a desperate charge.

With a "boom", 20,000 iron cavalry crashed into the large array of the Wu army, and some knights were directly overturned by the spears in front of the Wu army's formation, but more and more knights kept moving forward, like a rolling torrent, constantly impacting the Wu army's line.

The powerful impact force made the front at the forefront of the Wu army unable to resist it anymore and collapsed violently.

After breaking through the first line, in the second line were the Wu army's crossbowmen, a group of soldiers who were almost defenseless when they were approached by the cavalry.

The cavalry of the Wei army rushed in, constantly tearing apart the large array of the Wu army, mercilessly strangling the Wu army's crossbowmen.

Seeing this, Lu Xun immediately ordered Gan Xin to lead the elite infantry to go up, and in any case, he must withstand the impact of the Wei cavalry.

Gan Xin burst out of a body of true qi, the red light around her body overflowed, the whole person was like a god and demon, she led the elite infantry under her command to move forward bravely, Gan Xin took the lead in killing the Wei cavalry, the big knife in his hand cut out a dazzling afterimage, where the sword light reached, the Wei cavalry was shattered.

Gan Xin was like a berserker, fighting arbitrarily on the battlefield, invincible, as if he had entered a no-man's land, and wherever he went, the Wei cavalry was cut down by Gan Xin one by one.

However, Gan Xin's strength alone has always been difficult to reverse the situation in which the Wu army was pressed and beaten by the Wei army's iron cavalry, although the formation of the Wu army is still intact, and the small phalanxes still maintain the original formation.

But with the charge of the Wei army, these small squares began to disintegrate one after another, and the infantry behind the scattered formations was difficult to resist the attack of the cavalry, and what was even more terrifying was that the Qingzhou army of the Wei army also followed closely and killed it rolling.

At this moment, Lu Xun understood a truth, the Wei army put the main force in the south, and wanted to use an absolute superiority of troops to repel the soldiers and horses of Eastern Wu first.

"Special inspection of soft persimmon pinching!" Lu Xun smiled bitterly in his heart.

But he had no choice but to call the scout and ask him to contact Jiang Wei and ask Jiang Wei to send cavalry to help the southern battlefield, and he was powerless to resist the sharp edge of the Wei cavalry alone.

When he made this decision, Lu Xun was extremely reluctant in his heart, just 20,000 Wei cavalry, he was a little unbearable, but he was already the strongest combat force in Eastern Wu, if he couldn't even deal with this enemy, how would he fight for the world in the future?

The naval division of Eastern Wu is strong, so strong that it is invincible in the world, but the naval division alone cannot conquer the world, and there must be cavalry, but it is a pity that Eastern Wu does not have a formed cavalry.

Thinking of this, Lu Xun couldn't help but feel a sinking in his heart, relying on allies to fight a war is unreliable after all.
