Han Dao world

Chapter 324
Xun You lowered his head, his eyes fell on the map, as if he had never heard of it.

Liu Xie ignored Ma Chao, thinking about Xun You's words, his eyes flickered, thoughtful.

Yang Xiu also nodded, and then smacked his lips again, seeming a bit embarrassed.

Cai Yan and Pei Jun wrote in a hurry without even raising their heads.

Ma Chao's fair skin gradually turned red, and he looked embarrassed.

Hu Chuquan was puzzled, but he didn't dare to talk too much, he just lowered his eyelids, pretending he didn't see or hear anything.

The sound of horns came from the front, a team of Xianbei knights launched a tentative attack, and a team of Han army knights went out to fight. The two sides displayed their skills and fought back and forth on the battlefield with a radius of two or three hundred steps.

After two rounds, more than ten Xianbei people fell from their horses and voluntarily withdrew from the battle.

The knights of the Han army returned to the formation, tied up the Xianbei people who had fallen from their horses, or repaired their swords, searched for their supplies, and brought back all the horses.The ones that can be used are used as spare horses, and the ones that cannot be used are directly slaughtered for meat.

Several prisoners were sent to Liu Xie, and some people stepped forward to torture them.

Without much effort, the captives confessed, which was similar to what Hu Chuquan had heard, only more accurate.

The commander-in-chief who led his troops to fight was Xie Guini, the son of Fu Luohan. He had five or six thousand cavalry under his command, all of which came from Fu Luohan's personal guards. He was considered the elite main force of Fu Luohan's command.

Xie Guini is just in his early twenties, but he has fought with Fu Luo Han since he was a child, and he has been battle-tested.

Fu Luohan himself is under Chengyi City, making preparations before the siege.

After listening to the report, Liu Xie and Xun You exchanged glances and smiled in unison.

Just as they expected, Fu Luohan didn't take them seriously, maybe he still wanted to let his son show his face, but sent Xie Guini to lead twice as many troops to fight, and took the lead by himself.

It is of course a good thing that the opponent underestimates the enemy.

What they were most afraid of was that Fu Luohan would shrink his troops, and they were ready to fight. Both sides relied on their strength to die.

In that case, even if he could win, it would be a miserable victory.

"Order the ministries, put them away." Liu Xie rubbed his hands and gave the order.

The drums sounded, and the messengers rushed to different positions.

After a while, Zhang Xiu and Wang Fu sent back messages one after another, saying that they had received the order and would follow it.

Sitting on the horseback, Xie Guini looked at the centurion who had just returned from defeat, with an uncertain expression on his face.

The tentative attack failed and more than a dozen riders were lost.

The loss wasn't too big, but the centurion's attitude made him very annoyed.

Madam Centurion believes that the Han army is not only fully armored, but also has a harness that has never been seen before.The Han people sat very firmly on horseback, whether it was cutting with a knife or spear, or shooting arrows, they had obvious advantages.

When the two sides have similar military strength, it is difficult for the Xianbei to take advantage.

If you want to win, you must have double or even triple the force advantage to win with more.

Xie Guini was very annoyed.

The Han army has more than [-] cavalry, and his army has more than [-], which is nearly double.

The Han army was stronger than him, and he had already prepared for this, so he brought more troops, and they were the main force directly under Fu Luohan.

But he didn't think the cavalry of the Han army would be so strong that they could fight two with one.

According to what the centurion said, he should send people back and ask Fu Luohan to send more reinforcements, so that he can be sure of victory.

But he didn't want to do that, since he didn't really fight, if he sent someone to ask for help first, he would be regarded as cowardly by his father Fu Luohan.On the grassland, the strong are respected, and there is no place for the cowardly.Once he leaves such a notoriety, he will be looked down upon by others, and he will have no face to compete with other brothers for the big position.

After thinking about it for a while, Xie Guini decided to try again.

What if the defeat this time was not due to the fact that the Han army was too strong, but the centurion himself?
His opinion was not adopted, and instead he was misunderstood by Gui Ni as incompetent. The centurion was very depressed and returned to the front line in dismay.

With the sound of the horn, another group of Xianbei cavalry rushed out of the position and galloped lightly towards the Han army's position.

Zhang Xiu saw clearly and ordered to fight.

Baiqi stepped out and began to accelerate, facing the Xianbei knight.

When the two sides were a hundred steps apart, they started shooting with bows at the same time.

Someone fell from the horse with an arrow.

Xie Guini rushed to the front of the formation, widened his eyes, and watched carefully.

The two sides were too far away, and he couldn't see the details of the battlefield clearly, but he could vaguely tell that most of the fallen were Xianbei people.

Soon, the two sides crossed the distance of the arrow array attack and fought hand in hand.

After three rounds of fierce fighting, the Xianbei knights gradually lost the wind.Although he is still fighting hard, Xie Guini can also see that if he persists, there will only be more and more casualties, but there will be no possibility of reversal.

He ordered the trumpet to be blown, and the knights called to battle.

The Xianbei knights retreated, and the Han army knights pursued for a hundred steps before reining in their mounts, turning the horse's head, and retreating slowly.

Xie Guini immediately asked the centurion who went to battle.

The centurion was sweating all over his head and had some blood on his body.He gasped and said that the equipment of the Han army is indeed good, and it is more difficult to win with a similar number.It would be much easier if we could increase our troops by half.With twice as many troops, victory would be unquestionable.

If thousands of cavalry charged and fought continuously, the Han army would soon be defeated due to lack of physical strength.

During the battle just now, he discovered that the impact force of the Han army dropped rapidly, obviously because he was not very clear about the saving of horsepower.

As if relieved, he immediately ordered Qianqi to go out to launch a real attack on the Han army, and ordered Qianqi to prepare.

He planned to use his superior force to carry out a wheel battle, consume the physical strength of the Han army, and then lead his own guards to ride down with one drum.

Defeating the emperor of the Han family will not only get honor, but also a lot of spoils.

These armors, these swords and spears are all his trophies.Except for the part that must be handed over to Fu Luohan, it will become part of his strength.

The horn sounded, and the Xianbei cavalry began to accelerate, their horseshoes trampled on the ground that was no longer hard, kicked up mud, and ran faster and faster.

"Woo--" The horn sounded again, and the Xianbei knight raised his bow and arrow, shooting a dense rain of arrows.

The Sanqu Han army knights on the opposite side also started to speed up, charge, and shoot.

Some soldiers on both sides fell off their horses with arrows, and some were trampled by flying horseshoes.

The defense ability of the Han army was better. Even if they were hit by arrows or injured, not many people lost their combat effectiveness.

After three rounds of arrows, the strikers made contact, and the two sides tacitly kept a distance to avoid a head-on collision, and each raised their swords and spears to attack each other.

More knights fell.

These Xianbei knights came from the elite of the Fuluohan tribe. Most of them had armor, relatively complete weapons and equipment, and strong combat effectiveness.Compared with the Han army, although it is not as good as it is, it is not much worse.

For a time, the two sides were inseparable.

After one round, some Han knights left the formation, returned to the main formation, and reported the battle situation to Habayashi Zhonglang Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu looked back at the Son of Heaven battle flag on the hillside, gritted his teeth, and shouted loudly: "Hold it, fight for at least two more rounds."

The knight shouted: "Don't worry, general, we are fine." He turned his horse's head and re-entered the battlefield.

Zhang Xiu felt itchy in his heart, he kept rubbing his hands, his eyes fixed on the figure of the opponent's flag.
