The Bolo people were not slow to react, now that they understood that the northern army was clearly finding faults, they quickly made preparations for the mobilization and preparation of the army, and the 30,000 troops of the Bolo people were originally scattered all over the place, but there were 20,000 main forces, a reorganized corps, but they had been stationed in their capital.

Hillman immediately ordered the whole army to be mobilized by a corps stationed in Shou Yan, made preparations as quickly as possible, mobilized grain and grass, and then ordered the army to move towards the border with the Northern Army.

Although this naked governor is a well-known weirdo in the mainland, at least he is not an idiot, he knows very well that since Char has torn his face with himself, then the next thing must be a big battle related to the life and death of the two families.

Let's fight!!

What keeps the Bolo people guessing is how many troops the Northern Army can send to attack them.

Although the Northern Army is good at fighting, everyone knows that their strength is not large. And with the forces that the Northern Army is currently surrounding...... It is impossible for them to send out their entire army, they must always leave some guards behind, and they will have to deal with other forces taking advantage of the situation.

According to the guesses of the Bolo people, the limit of what the Northern Army can mobilize is only half of the troops.

Fifteen thousand, twenty thousand?

At this time, the eunuch-born general of the Boluo Military Region put forward his view: "The other side's troops will not exceed 20,000 troops, and besides, they have come to attack us from afar, running all the way, and the supply line is extended, which is a heavy burden for them, and we only need to gather troops and confront them." After all, there are other forces around the Northern Army, and those are all allies of our Red Round Table, as long as you write a few letters to a few allies, asking them to take the opportunity to give the Northern Army some bitterness behind their backs, when the time comes, Char, who learned that his lair was attacked by others, will definitely not be able to confront us here for a long time, as long as we hold out until they retreat, we can take the opportunity to counterattack and defeat them!!"

There was nothing wrong with this plan, and in the circumstances of the time, such judgments, speculations, and calculations were all very reasonable.

But...... The facts of the situation......

When Governor Hillman ran to Xiliuwan City, the closest to the border, with his main army of 20,000, and finally waited for the news that Char personally led the army to the door, the military information sent back by the scouts stunned everyone in the Boluo Military Region!

"Five, five hundred?!!! really only five hundred?!!"

The scout's answer was in the affirmative.

Moreover, this place is called Xiliu Bay, which is the entrepot of a river on the border between the two countries...... The open plains of the river beach are flat as far as the eye can see, and there is absolutely no place to hide a large-scale ambush.

That is to say......"

He really only brought five hundred people and called?!!"

After a brief moment of shock, Hiryan suddenly screamed.

At this moment, the Governor, who was ready to fight a tough battle, was not surprised at all. First, he felt that he had been insulted! Did this guy despise me? Knowing that I had tens of thousands of troops, he actually brought 500 men to find fault?

He, he, he, he when I was mud pinched out of the ?!!

Hillman, who was carried away by his anger, immediately made a decision: go out of the city to fight!!

The eunuch general had no objection to the governor's order, and in fact he did not see any reason to do so.

Five hundred...... That Char Thunder is really crazy!

We have 20,000 people! A reorganized corps! What kind of waves can 500 people make? 20,000 people, without fighting, can trample each other to death!!

In that case, what else is there to worry about? Anyway, the scouts have already probed very clearly, and there is no trace of the ambush of the opponent's large army within a radius of dozens of miles.

Five hundred? Then fight, there is no need for any conspiracy, just destroy them!

The internal consensus was reached, and the group was excited, so Char's thunder swept through the entire northern part of the Byzantine Empire's first large-scale battle: the Battle of Xiliuwan, which began.

Many historical materials in later generations have recorded this Xiliuwan Battle. But again, all the historical accounts of this battle are very brief, and there is hardly any detailed description.

Because...... The course of this battle was too short, and it was too fast.

Well, now let's look at some of the basics of the battle at the time.

First of all, the location: Weststream Bay.

On the other side of the river is a fortress built by the Bolo people, which will be a nail in the coffin if the enemy invades in a big way.

The battle took place on an open plain, and it can be said that this was a battlefield today. Open on all sides, no shelter, no woods, no hillsides.

On both sides of the war, the Bolo Military Region had an army of 20,000, 4,000 heavy infantry, 15,000 light infantry, and a cavalry force of 1,000 men.

And here in the Northern Army, there are only Char and the 500-strong cavalry battalion. 20000vs500

In this comparison of troops, the Bolo people did not think about it, and directly pulled the team out of the fortress and placed it on the plain.

Even the Governor of Hillman deliberately left his cavalry of 1,000 men on the flank—his plan was that once he won the battle, he could outflank the enemy's rear with cavalry and wipe out this abominable Char's thunder!

Let that bastard die in Xiliuwan!

Since you're here, don't go back!

At noon on this day, Char's army arrived here, looking at the array of 20,000 people on the opposite side, Char took the lead, looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "This guy is cooperative enough, and he actually pulled out such a person, compared to his family background." ”

Both armies soon set themselves up on the battlefield and faced each other.

The Bolo people looked at Char's small team, and many of them showed smug smiles. In their opinion, in this case, there is no need to talk about the end.

Even the cavalry on the flanks had already ordered to be ready for an outflanking.

And Governor Hillman was in the middle of the team, he looked at the small cavalry unit opposite, until this moment, he was a little unconvinced, the other party actually brought such a few people to fight.

And the only one who noticed that something was wrong was the eunuch-born general Bolo. He was surprised to find a detail: the five hundred horsemen brought by Char were all light cavalry!

These cavalrymen did not wear tight and heavy armor, most of the cavalry only wore the lightest cuirass, only covering the vital parts, and even some guys wore leather armor directly!

This is simply the equipment of the light cavalry.

But compared with their light armor, the weapons used by these "light cavalry" are all heavy weapons of heavy cavalry charging into battle without exception!

Double-edged battle axes, prismatic hammers, maces, heavy mounted spears......

These were by no means the weapons that the hussars should have used.

And he also noticed that all the cavalry on the other side was a strong athlete of the Kanbi Odin...... The strong ones are even a bit exaggerated.

However, unlike the simple armor of the cavalry, the horses were heavily armoured.

A man is not armoured, but a horse is armoured...... Where in the world is there such a strange truth?

Char was there, the cavalry was making the final preparations before the battle in an orderly manner, they drove the horses to the distance behind them, and the armored horses were all lined up, five hundred cavalry put on a formation, these guys did not make a noise, quietly and indifferently looked at the huge phalanx of the Bolo people opposite.

Before the official start of the fight, the Bolos showed their arrogance, and with such a balance of power, it seemed that they did have reason to be arrogant.

Governor Hillman sent dozens of men to shout and curse in front of the battle. loudly reprimanded the people of the Northern Army for their treachery, wolf-heartedness, slander, and despicable behavior, while shouting loudly to boost their own morale and shout loudly......

With these shouts and shouts, the Boluo army was in high spirits and emotions, and the soldiers raised their weapons and shouted and cheered, and the shields struck the sky......

On the opposite side, Char sat on his horse, yawned lazily, and looked at the Bolo army who was shouting and jumping up and down on the opposite side.

He yawned boredly and opened his mouth, then raised his hand and waved it, as if to drive away flies, and frowned at the cavalry beside him: "It's noisy, go and trample them to death." ”

And then......

Then, the Boro army was really trampled to death by them!

The process of the Battle of Xiliuwan was very short, very simple, and outrageously simple!

Just after Char gave the order to charge, the five hundred cavalry rushed towards the 20,000-strong army on the opposite side with a posture of no hesitation.

And then...... Just kill it!

A scene that subverted everyone's military common sense unfolded:

The 500 cavalry of the Northern Army easily rushed through the left flank of the Bolo people! In the course of their 500 cavalry charge, the Bolo archers immediately completed two volleys in the rear.

However, to the shock of all, the two volleys of the archers caused the damage to the Northern Army. ―Zero!

Those flying arrows fell on the cavalry of the Northern Army, it was really like a drizzle, and the cavalry didn't even have the interest of raising their shields to resist, so they rushed directly into the sky under the rain of arrows! All the arrows that were shot at them were easily bounced off......

It didn't look like they were charging in a rain of arrows, but in a drizzle!

Before the Bolo could be shocked, the cavalry had already rushed to their left flank.

The hoplites in front of the Bolo had already erected their shields, and in the gaps between the shields were a forest of spears!

This is the most standard and effective position to deal with cavalry charges!

According to normal military common sense, if the enemy has thousands of cavalry, it will have to come back at a considerable cost to break through this solid steel array.

But Char only subverted common sense once again.

Five hundred cavalry rushed to the cavalry phalanx with shields erected and spears erected, and heavily armored all over their bodies, and rushed in directly!

There is no half skill, no half of ingenuity, just hit it head-on, and then ...... It's a breakthrough!

It was as if what was in front of them was not a phalanx of hoplites, but a thin piece of paper!!

Immediately, the dream of the Bolo people began.

To their horror, they found that not only did the arrows fired by the previous archers not cause damage to these enemies, but even the spears and swords in their hands did not hurt the opponents!

Char's 500 cavalry almost forcibly rammed into the Bolo ranks in an arrogant and unreasonable way, and then directly tore their ranks apart!

There was even a ridiculous scene on the battlefield: finally the cavalry of the Northern Army rushed into the ranks of the Bolo people, the war horse tripped over the corpse on the ground, the cavalry fell to the ground, and was squeezed in the middle by several desperate Bolo soldiers around......

This battle is gone!!

Char's cavalry was invincible in the huge army formation of the Bolo people, and one by one the phalanx was quickly torn apart and shattered, and the cavalry goal of the Northern Army was very clear: the banner of the Chinese army Governor Hillman!

Hillman was horrified to find that his sturdy army was more vulnerable than tofu in the face of the footsteps of the cavalry, and his army was on its back, and the other party was almost rushing under his nose to attack the governor who liked to run naked, and his first reaction was ...... U-turn and run away!

As soon as the coach ran away, the flag fell immediately, and the Boluo army, which was still barely resisting, finally collapsed in an instant.

The army began to retreat like a tide, at first it retreated, and soon it became a collapse like a levee break!

Five hundred cavalry from the north entered from the left flank and quickly cut through the Bolo army...... And it was chiseled horizontally!

The left wing is in and the right wing is out!

At the time of the killing, the casualties of five hundred cavalry were still a number that made all Bolo people desperate!

Zero!!

Immediately, these monsters, who were covered in blood and had broken flesh and severed limbs on their bodies, turned their horses' heads without stopping and killed them again.

On the battlefield, there was a scene that made everyone collapse!

The army of 20,000 men was killed by 500 cavalry, and it was torn apart like an avalanche, and then it was routed backwards like a tide, and the 500 cavalry chased after it like a duck......

The Bolo army was driven to the river beach, and there was finally no way to escape, and some of them may have the courage to turn back and fight, but what made them even more desperate was that once the army of 20,000 men had collapsed, there was no longer any way to organize an effective resistance.

Looking at the front and back of him, there are all people on the left and right, everyone is crowded into everything, their own people are trampled by their own people, and their own people are squeezed into the river by their own people......

The huge Bolo people were driven into the river by Char's 500 cavalry!

There were already Boluo people who threw down their weapons and jumped into the water of Xiliuwan River, and the five hundred cavalry behind them were still waving their weapons almost mechanically to harvest their lives!

They're not here to fight, they're here to complete a simple slaughter!

You can't beat it, you can't run away, so you can only jump into the river to escape!

Governor Hirhuang was fortunate that he was one of the first to flee to the river under the protection of his guards, and he was also the first to jump into the river to escape, and under the protection of the guards, he was the first to flee to the other side of the river.

Then the naked governor stood on the other side of the river with a cry and watched his troops be driven down the river like ducks......

Above the river, there was a crowd of people, there were cries everywhere, and there were wails everywhere!

On the other side, the remnants of Bolo's army, who had no time to jump into the river, had already begun to throw away their weapons and kneel down in surrender, giving up resistance.

20,000 against 500 lost so quickly and so completely!!

The only thing that made Governor Hillman slightly relieved was that Char's men didn't seem to have any intention of crossing the river immediately, and they had already begun to clean up the battlefield and receive prisoners of war.

"The Devil...... They're all devils......"

Governor Hillman, who finally fainted, was defeated in the direction of his lair with the remnants of his army, under the protection of the guards around him.

In the Battle of Xiliuwan, the 20,000 troops of the Boluo people faced the battle, and less than 5,000 could cross the river alive.

There were more than 10,000 dead and wounded, half of them were killed on the battlefield, and the other half were drowned after jumping into the river!

After Char received thousands of surrendered troops, he stayed in Xiliuwan for only one day, and on the second day, he directly threw those surrendered troops in place, and he didn't even bother to leave people to take care of these prisoners of war (he did not have extra troops around him to take care of the prisoners of war), Char took people to cross Xiliuwan easily, and then had a clear goal and galloped towards the capital city of the Bolo people.

From Xiliuwan to the capital of the Boluo Military Region, Char only took three and a half days.

He didn't leave much time for Governor Hillman.

In fact, for Hillman, the naked-running governor had already scared him back to the capital's lair, and the first thing he did was summon the magician who worked for him and tell him what happened on the battlefield.

"They're devils! They must have used some kind of magic, right? Only demons can make people resist the damage of swords, so that those guys are not as good as indefatigable ......."

Looking at the Governor who was about to collapse, the magician muttered for a moment: "Maybe they really used some kind of demon, but please rest assured, Your Excellency the Governor, with me here, I will want to destroy the kind of magic they use...... According to your description, I think this is a blessing technique similar to stone skin, and it won't be too difficult to break it. ”

As it turned out, the magician's idea was very good, but it was too simple.

When Char's soldiers approached the capital city of the Boluo Army, the whole city was in a stir.

Although the news of the defeat of the army had been known to everyone, when Char's five hundred cavalry appeared under the city gate, the entire city was shrouded in an almost absurd sense of fear.

Immediately, no matter how fearful Governor Hillman was, he had to lead his men to the city to resist the field battles one by one.

Of course, he often went up to the city wall with the magician.

Char's cavalry was outside the city, and he didn't make a siege posture—in fact, he didn't plan to fight any siege battles at all.

Cavalry is cavalry after all, even these almost perverted super cavalry who have strengthened their bodies with the dragon blood of the golden dragon and strengthened their combat effectiveness with muscle fruits have not grown wings to fly to the city wall after all.

But Char has a different kind of son.

He saw Hillman standing on the wall, and he saw the gray-robed guy standing next to Hillman, who was a magician, Char recognized.

As for how to open the door to the capital city of the Boluo Military Region, Char chose the most direct and effective way to do it!

He came forward in person!

Up and down the city, under the gaze of more than 10,000 pairs of eyes, especially the magician who was still a little reserved and proud before, Char seemed to be deliberately showing off, and made a shocking move that later spread all over the continent!!

He slowly rode out of the queue alone, came to the center of the battlefield, and then he slowly patted the batch of overly majestic white war horses......

After a brilliant golden light, in the growing ball of light, the silhouette of the war horse soon changed dramatically!

A majestic, huge, terrifying figure appeared little by little in the golden light......

Huge body, golden scales, and massive wings......

After the golden light between heaven and earth finally faded away, everyone saw clearly the behemoth that appeared after the golden light...... All the defenders in the city instantly entered a state of silence!

For a long time, almost no one could say a word and make a sound!!

Char stood on the back of the golden dragon, holding his huge fire fork in his hand, and with a gentle hum, the golden dragon vibrated its wings and slowly flew into the air, condescendingly, looking down on the city!

Suddenly, a loud dragon roar came from the sky, and that roar contained endless majesty, making people tremble and tremble......

Under the roaring dragon, the defenders on the city wall could not stand, countless people threw away their weapons, some knelt down to pray, some covered their ears and fainted, all the soldiers and civilians in the city ran outside, looking at the sky with wide eyes in horror......

And Governor Hillman had already seen the golden dragon as soon as he saw it, and his eyes went black and fell.

As for the magician beside him, where is there still a half reserved and arrogant look on his face?

Char's voice came from the sky.

"I heard...... You have a magician?"

The opposite side of the Wizard is earthy......

Immediately he made a decision!

Almost immediately, the magician flew down the city, jumped and floated out, landed under the city, and bowed directly to the dust, facing the sky, and speaking loudly in the most humble and deferential manner.

"The Great Strong...... Please accept the submission of a lowly man like me......"

He raised his wand with both hands, then lowered his head, and never dared to look up again, for fear that any slight movement of his own would be led hostile by the other party!

Are you kidding?!

Golden Dragon???!!!!! this, where is this opponent that a mid-level mage like mine can contend with??

How powerful the golden dragon is, how can the magician not know?

So, what about the person who can use a golden dragon as a mount?

At the moment when Char called for Darwin to turn into a dragon, the battle of the Bolo Military Region no longer had any suspense.

"Submit to me, or, die!"

It is worth mentioning that another detail happened at this time, although this detail did not affect the overall situation.

The eunuch-born general, in the face of the magical guy Char Thundering, rode a golden dragon majestically, flew on the city wall, and arrogantly issued a "Die if you don't surrender...... This kind of declaration at the time.

This eunuch general explained one thing to the world with practical actions: why can a eunuch like him actually mix in the army, and even get into the position of army commander, sit for so many years, and do quite well.

Because, he is a very kind of person!!

It's hard to imagine that in the entire Boluo Military Region, at the last moment, the real man really took the lead, but it was such a eunuch. I have to say, this is really a very ironic thing.

This eunuch general, in the face of the behemoth in the sky, that huge monster, he did not tremble and fear like the other companions around him. In the face of the berry saying "if you don't surrender or die", his reaction was also very direct and kind.

His answer was to pick up a bow and shoot Char in the sky!

The arrow did not cause any damage to Char, and it did not even hit the target.

However, just as the general was about to shoot the second arrow, the people around him were afraid. The soldiers and officers of the Bolo Army rushed up and knocked him down.

Obviously, they were afraid of Char, who was riding a dragon in the sky, but they didn't seem to be afraid of this boss.

Regarding the ending of this kind of eunuch general, it actually makes people sigh.

After being knocked down by his men, he fought back, trying to take up arms and order his men to fight back, and also planned to kill a few people who were afraid of not fighting to boost their morale.

And then...... He was killed by his own men who were in a hurry to surrender.

He was the first, the only and the last, in the city.

History is fair, and later historians describe the process of Char's thunderous pacification of the north, and describe his elimination of the Boluo Military Region, the Xiliuwan Battle is very simple, and the description of the process of conquering the capital city of the Boluo Military Region is even more simple to a few words: "Defeated in a war".

However, this eunuch general, who did not even leave his name, asked historians to write a few more words for him.

"I didn't scold before I died. ”

When the governor fainted in fright, the mighty magician jumped off the city wall and prostrate on the ground, and the thousands of defenders in the city dropped their weapons and knelt down in surrender, a eunuch maintained the last vestiges of bravery and dignity of the Bolo people. :
