Chapter 295 The Battle of Gaoping City

Chapter 295 The Battle of Gaoping City ([-])
However, within a few moments, the situation of the battle suddenly changed. The heavy cavalry of the Wei army fell into the magnet array and suffered heavy casualties. The heavy cavalry of the Han army immediately went out to fight.

Guo Huai, the left side of the Wei army, discovered the heavy cavalry of the Han army through the billowing smoke, and quickly asked Xiahouba to fight.

At this time, Xia Houba faced the heavy cavalry of the Wei army with heavy losses, his eyes were tearing, and he was about to lead the army into a deadly battle, but he calmed down and led the remaining heavy cavalry and rangers to meet the heavy cavalry of the Han army.

Xiang Yu was also aware of Xiahouba's troops who were trying to intercept him in front of him, so he ordered the left and right: "Separate out three hundred heavy cavalry, and five hundred rangers to block the Wei cavalry."

"promise!"

At this time, it could be seen from the sky that Xiang Yu's troops, who had been heading straight to the flank of the Wei army, allocated half of their troops, turned their horses around, and rode their horses forward to hedge against Wei cavalry.

On the other hand, Xiang Yuben led the headquarters, which mainly consisted of heavy cavalry, and went straight to the Wei army who was attacking the corner of the right wing, looking for a suitable incision and hitting it with one blow.

Xiang Yu prostrated himself on the horse's back, holding the lance under his armpit, and led the Han cavalry into three formations, circumventing the Wei army's position.

Guo Huai was startled when he saw the smoke and dust billowing from his back, and knew that Xia Houba hadn't blocked the Han cavalry, so he hurriedly shouted: "Quickly draw the elite from the front to block the Han cavalry."

But it was too late. The back of the left side of the Wei Army was not elites, but ordinary auxiliary guards. Most of the elites had been dispatched to the front by Guo Huai to fight.

The auxiliary soldiers looked at this cavalry team of nearly a thousand. The first few rows were all armored and armed with eight horses. Their legs and feet trembled, and they felt horrified.

In a short time, the heavy cavalry of the Han army led by Xiang Yu had already entered the battle.

The auxiliary soldiers directly charged the upper heavy cavalry, and they couldn't resist at all, not to mention the equipment, as long as they were not afraid.After all, the shining armor on the heavy cavalry of the Han army and the dense forest of horses all told the auxiliary soldiers that this was not an enemy they could face.

Hundreds of auxiliary soldiers in the front row galloped towards the heavy cavalry of the Han army, and most of them turned around and fled in an instant.General Wei Jun tried his best to call out to form a formation and stick to it, but he was basically unable to change the situation of the battle.

The few auxiliary infantry who stayed behind couldn't even organize resistance. These heavy cavalry charged forward and slashed with their knives like wheat in the autumn harvest, and they were invincible wherever they passed.

The auxiliary soldiers in the front row dropped their weapons one by one and scattered in all directions, driving the soldiers of the Wei army behind them, and even the generals of the Wei army who had just tried to resist fled.

Xiang Yu's heavy cavalry rushed through the Wei army's auxiliary soldiers very easily, and as the Han cavalry gradually penetrated into the central army, the defeated army that had stopped trying to gather together continued to flee, even taking the rest of the Wei soldiers with them.

The rangers guarded the heavy cavalry on the left and right. They shot and killed the fleeing infantry on both sides with bows and crossbows, forcing them to flee to Guo Huai of the Chinese army.

In the center of the cavalry, Xiang Yu took the lead. Under the ferocious animal face, he looked extremely calm. He led the heavy cavalry to speed up, and rode his horse towards Guo Huai's banner in the center.

Hundreds of rout soldiers fled backwards. The rout soldiers pushed each other and flocked to the headquarters of Guo Huai's central army.

And the elite Wei army guarding Guo Huai, under Guo Huai's order, directly shot at the rout soldiers, hacked and killed the rout soldiers who tried to rush into the formation, and did not allow the rout soldiers to enter the battle.

The defeated soldiers were terrified by the enemy before and after, and finally frightened by the elite swords, guns and arrows of the Wei army, the defeated soldiers turned to flee to the two sides.

Even so, the heavy cavalry of the Han army has arrived, and the line that has just been hit by the rout is a little loose, and it will be greeted by the heavy cavalry of the Han army before it can adjust in the future.

The sword and shield hand just plunged the sharp corner of the bottom of the shield into the valley of the ground, and was still adjusting his pace to withstand the impact, when the heavy cavalry of the Han army directly bumped into it.

Wei Jun's sword and shield hand instantly felt that the shield was hit by a huge impact. Dozens of sword and shield hands rose into the air and fell into the crowd behind them.

In an instant, the wailing sounds of the soldiers of the Wei army being pierced by the horses, and the neighing of the horses falling to the ground could be heard everywhere on the battlefield.

The heavy cavalry of the Han army who lost their mobility in the battle, relying on their strong armor, fought directly on foot, opening a gap for the heavy cavalry behind.

In the next moment, the second wave of heavy cavalry of the Han army, led by Xiang Yu, ran directly into the gap that had just been torn open.

Xiang Yu held the horse lance under his armpit and stabbed the Wei soldier's chest. The sharp lance blade pierced through the armor and pierced the Wei soldier's chest.

Xiang Yu let go of the horse's spear to vent his strength, then drew out the ring hand knife, and slashed down the Wei soldier on the left side fiercely, and split the Wei soldier's pocket with a knife, but was stuck by the Wei soldier's skull.

Xiang Yu kicked the Wei soldier before pulling out the knife. Blood and brains were dripping from the blade.

Wei Zu fell to the ground, covered his face and wailed, half of his face was split by Xiang Yu, and blood flowed down his cheek.

Seeing that he was in such pain, Xiang Yu pulled out the horse spear with his backhand, and directly pinched him through, understanding his pain.

Immediately afterwards, the third wave of heavy cavalry followed the route of the first two waves of heavy cavalry, and directly hit it, smashing the soldiers of the Wei army who were trying to rebuild the army formation.

Although the heavy cavalry of the Han army was established not long ago, because most of them are Qiang people or Han people from Longyou who are good at riding, they are more fierce than the heavy cavalry of the Wei army in terms of fierceness.Initiating a fierce attack, the soldiers of the Wei army could hardly resist.

At this moment, the Han cavalry fought hard, and the soldiers of the Wei army tried their best to resist. Countless blood spilled on the ground and seeped into the soil.The originally straight front quickly sags inwards, pointing straight to the center, even affecting the elite Wei army who were fighting the Han army at the front.

Momentarily, the battle situation on the left side of the Wei army changed suddenly, and the front of the Han army had already approached the center of the army formation. The first wave of heavy cavalry of the Han army could reach Guo Huaiya's flag in only a few dozen steps.

The clerks and heralds who followed Guo Huai all looked bleak, and the sudden turn of the situation was beyond their imagination.

Guo Huai gritted his teeth, faced the approaching Han cavalry, and finally couldn't help cursing: "Zhang Hu, a piece of trash, how can he command the heavy cavalry, and face the tired army, and be killed by the infantry to wipe out the entire army! "

Seeing the dangerous situation, the civil servant was a little afraid, so he couldn't help persuading him: "General, the Shu cavalry are brave, why don't you retreat a little?"

Guo Huai drew his long sword and said angrily, "When the two armies are fighting to the death, how can we retreat? If our army retreats, our army will be defeated; if the Shu army retreats, Shu will be defeated. Don't say anything!"

After speaking, Guo Huai sent his personal guards to help out and suppress the retreating army.

Xiang Yu, who was fighting in the formation, had already advanced all the way to the front, ready to join the first wave of Han cavalry, to fight through the formation together, and go straight to Guo Huai, who was seventy steps away.

Xiang Yu stretched out his ape arm, and the spear shook violently like a spirit snake, shaking out a few spear flowers, and poked Wei Zu's throat straight.

The personal guard with good eyesight pointed to Guo Huai under the banner of Ya, and said: "Look at Commander Wei, the one wearing the red tassel is Guo Huai."

Xiang Yu poked another Wei soldier over. As a eagle shooter, he had extraordinary eyesight. When he looked up, it was indeed Guo Huai. He shouted, "Get my bow!"

"promise!"

The guard took out the heavy bow from the bow bag and handed it to Xiang Yu. As soon as Xiang Yu mastered the heavy bow, he hid behind the guard, drew out the armor-piercing arrow, and looked down to find a suitable angle to avoid being discovered by the Wei army.

Xiang Yu fine-tuned a few steps, and through the gap between the shoulders of the two guards, Guo Huai, who was commanding with a sword, happened to be visible.

Xiang Yu first touched the jade quilt bestowed by Han Emperor Liu Chan, then raised the bow with his left hand, his shoulders, elbows and hands formed a line at three points, the tip of his nose and mandible were hanging on the ground, his right hand raised his elbow, and his back exerted force.

Xiang Yu hooked the string with the groove of the scorpion, squinted his eyes slightly, drew the bowstring fully, and aimed the heavy arrow at Guo Huai's chest.

"Whoosh!"

The heavy arrow pierced the wind, making a low and piercing whistling sound, drawing an arc in the air and shooting straight at Guo Huai.

Before everyone could react, the heavy arrow pierced the bright light armor, the armor cracked, and the flames flashed.With stamina, the heavy arrow pierced a hole in the second layer of chain mail, and the heavy arrow pierced through the two layers of heavy armor and shot in.

"Ah..." There was a scream.

Guo Huai fell directly to the ground, with a heavy arrow stuck in his chest, he didn't know whether he was dead or alive!
