On the banks of the Huai Shui.

The two armies faced each other, and tens of thousands of troops gathered here. Huaiguo lined up with his back and waited for it. The alliance of the princes was completed and slowly moved forward, and at this time, I happened to see the sun shining in the southern sky, which was very dazzling. Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads sideways to block the sun.

It's just that the arrogant Zheng Hou didn't notice this at all, and directly ordered the army to attack.

Seeing the direct attack of the princes' coalition army, Xu Mao immediately ordered someone to shoot arrows with a soft bow, the arrows flew out, and then fell softly to the ground. It is believed that the Huai army is nothing more than a rabble.

Therefore, Zheng Hou did not take Huai Guo in his eyes, and with a wave of his hand, he directly ordered the whole army to press, preparing to push the Huai army directly into the water in one go.

Seeing that the princes' coalition army took the bait, Xu Mao immediately asked people to change into a hard bow and shoot at the princes' coalition army.

Before the coalition of princes could react, they were directly stunned by wave after wave of arrows. At the same time, the chariots of the princes' coalition army also rushed over, but when the time came, they found that this place was located on the bank of the Huai River, the land was soft, and it was not suitable for chariots to gallop, and the two wings of the Huai **** array were almost close to the river bank, and the chariots could not charge at all.

The central army was covered by a large number of wooden halberds, and the chariot crashed into it, overturned in an instant, and then was killed by arrows or stabbed to death by halberds.

The soldiers who followed closely behind also rushed forward, trying to follow the gap that the chariot had broken through, but when they rushed to the front of the formation, they found that the chariot could not open the gap at all.

Before these soldiers could react, arrows rained down from the sky, and a large number of princes and allied troops were killed and wounded. There was a dilemma for a while, and a large number of soldiers had to desperately rush to the military formation. But in the face of the hedgehog-like military formation, these soldiers had no chance at all, and were directly stabbed to death in front of the formation.

The coalition troops behind rushed forward with shields, but as soon as they rushed to the front of the Huai army formation, they saw the Huai army's large array moving dense halberds stabbing out, and the entire army formation was like a hedgehog.

Huai soldiers, one raised a shield, one held a halberd to stab the enemy constantly, and one held a copper hammer to beat violently. There are bows and arrows at long range, halberds at medium distance, copper hammers at close range, and large shields in the chariot formation, and the alliance of princes crashes into the battle formation like waves crashing against a reef.

Countless blood spilled like waves, but the military array of Huai was like a reef, unshakable.

These halberds used by Huaiguo are more than one zhang long, and the head of the halberd is forged by Huaiguo craftsmen, and it is extremely sharp. Before the coalition army approached, those halberds pierced out in an instant like poisonous snakes, and the armor on the princes' coalition army was like a thin piece of paper, which was pierced in an instant.

For a time, a large number of coalition soldiers were strangled in front of the battle, and even many halberds directly pierced two or three princes and coalition soldiers, and arrows kept falling in the sky, even if they were elite, they couldn't bear it in this kind of tragic battlefield, not to mention that this coalition army was not an elite in the first place.

The generals of the coalition army commanded the archers to throw bows and arrows, trying to open the gap, but as soon as the archers raised their heads, they happened to be pierced by the sun, and they couldn't concentrate at all for a while, and the bows and arrows shot were even more crooked, and they didn't know where they had fallen.

However, the archers of the Huai army were not affected at all, ten thousand arrows were fired, a large number of princes were shot into hedgehogs, Zheng Hou ordered the chariots to rush into battle, dozens of chariots rushed forward, or were directly killed by the rain of arrows, or crashed into the baffle and halberd in front, and the Huai army array almost did not move.

There was no progress in the offensive of the army, but their own people fell one after another, and the high morale of the originally coalition army was like a waterfall at this moment, pouring thousands of miles, and the entire army began to collapse.

Seeing this situation, Zheng Hou was shocked, he never thought that the situation of 50,000 troops besieging 20,000, which was originally a steady win, suddenly reversed?

The heavy casualties were too much for the coalition forces to bear, and a large number of soldiers began to retreat and flee. Seeing this situation, Xu Mao immediately ordered the army to attack and chase and kill.

The impatient army, which had been waiting for a long time, immediately went out, and the rumbling wheels of the chariot started instantly. Originally, the Huai army was located on a dirt slope, and at this time, the chariot charged, and it was extremely fast and indestructible.

Hundreds of chariots were launched together, and the slow Coalition sergeants were running

The pawn was knocked directly under the car, and then the wheels were instantly crushed, and the soldier was immediately broken. Hundreds of chariots were like hundreds of sharp swords, chasing after the fleeing coalition soldiers.

The coalition soldiers began to flee in a hurry, but how could two legs outrun four legs? The chariot went on a rampage, killing a large number of soldiers, stabbing Chang Ge, and killing one soldier after another. The coalition battle formation was completely crushed by the chariots, and the soldiers who followed closely behind the chariots rushed forward one after another.

Many chariots saw the coalition army Daxu and rushed directly towards Daxu, and Zheng Zhuanggong's Chinese army had no time to resist at all, and was scattered by the rout. The Huai army rushed straight away, and the place it passed was like a devastation, and it was directly crushed.

"Hurry up!" Seeing the landslide of the army, the surrounding ministers hurriedly pulled Zheng Hou up and boarded the chariot to flee for their lives.

As soon as these people fled, the morale of the entire coalition army completely dissipated, and all the soldiers began to abandon their weapons and armor and scatter in all directions. The defeat was like a mountain, everyone rushed to flee, and the Huai army did not have to worry about the enemy's counterattack at all, and the soldiers were killed and wounded countless times.

In the big battle just now, the coalition army attacked, which consumed a lot of physical strength, and the Huai army recuperated and pursued, and those coalition soldiers were quickly caught up by the Huai soldiers, and then killed with a sword.

Many coalition soldiers who couldn't run knelt down and begged to surrender, and the Huai army spared the surrendered soldiers and continued to chase and kill, and the coalition army collapsed.

Xu Mao ordered the whole army to attack and pursue, and the army pursued for thirty miles, and the princes and coalition troops were covered with corpses all over the way, and there were countless surrenderers.

Only the princes who saw that the situation was not good fled in their cars, and the army of 50,000 disappeared in one battle.

When the sky was getting dark, the Huaiguo army also returned one after another, all the chariots were full of heads, and there were groups of prisoners behind.

In a big battle, the Huai army suffered few casualties, killed more than 10,000 coalition troops, captured more than 20,000 prisoners, and only a few thousand people fled.

The entire Huai army camp was jubilant, Xu Mao asked people to escort the prisoners to clean up the battlefield, and all the dead coalition soldiers were directly burned and buried to prevent polluting the river. Serious injuries are killed directly, and minor injuries that can be treated are left behind.

As soon as the army won the battle, Xu Mao immediately sent an envoy to report the victory to Wang Sheng, and at the same time, arranged for the men to escort the captive slaves back to Huai'an.

But the moon array, the infantry battle array, the backwater array, the formation is like a crescent moon, it is a weak victory over the strong, and a few victory over the more.
