The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

One general's success is achieved at the cost of countless lives, and it is never something to be proud of.

This is how Liu Han used to vomit when he first saw corpses, but now he remains unmoved in the face of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Having seen life and death so often, personal feelings have faded. Looking at Xun You on the tower, Xun You understood and ordered his men to wave the flag, "Move."

The heavy armored corps no longer held back and started to move, with their wings spread wide and then slowly closed in the middle, squeezing the space for the Wuhuan cavalry to move, limiting their mobility and trapping some of them. Then, thousands of arrows were fired at once, a ruthless massacre.

Lou Ban ordered a withdrawal. This exploratory attack had failed and there was no need to continue to engage with the Han army.

"Chanyu." Pufulu and Nengchendi led the remnants to retreat, both of them looked very unhappy. In this exploratory attack, 3,000 of the 20,000 soldiers were killed or wounded, while the Han army suffered minimal losses, with only a hundred casualties estimated.

"Don't be discouraged. Although you have been defeated, you have brought enough intelligence to our army. Go and rest."

"Here."

"Uncle Shengji, do you want to continue the attack?"

Gongsun Du looked embarrassed. In his opinion, the border troops here in Shanhaiguan were already a tough nut to crack, and the army brought by Liu Han was even more elite.

After weighing the pros and cons several times, Gongsun Du gritted his teeth and said, "Attack."

Unlike the previous test, this time the main force of the coalition forces attacked, and Lou Ban personally led the elite troops to the battlefield. One armor is equivalent to three crossbows, and three armors can enter the underworld. The difference in armor is fully demonstrated when the forces are equal.

Lou Ban changed his strategy. He knew that his light cavalry was no match for the heavy cavalry of the Han army in hand-to-hand combat. This was obvious. In addition, he had to withstand the volleys of 6,000 archers in the central formation of the Han army.

"Send the order, give up fighting with the enemy's heavy cavalry, and attack the Han army's central infantry phalanx with all your strength!"

The result of the exploratory attack showed that it was a completely wrong choice to engage in too much entanglement with the Han army on both wings, so Lou Ban had to make a concerted effort and lead 50,000 people to directly attack the center and destroy the Han army's center.

However, he was wrong again. He made the same mistake as Gongsun Zan did before. He still underestimated the strength of the Han army.

Liu Han smiled. Xun You on the top of the city wall behind him did the same thing, "Pass the order, surround them!"

With the command flags waving, the cavalry on both wings began to make a detour to the left and right.

After Liu Han received the report from the flag-watching officer, he also issued an order. "Sword and shield soldiers move forward to defend, spearmen attack from behind, leave 500 here, and the rest of the archers follow the cavalry troops to the left and right, and surround them! Encircle them!"

Boom, boom, boom... Ten thousand shields smashed to the ground, and the strong soldiers behind them held them up with their shoulders.

The next moment, the bloodthirsty Wuhuan cavalry swarmed in, their sturdy horses leaped high and ruthlessly smashed into the Han army's line. The situation of horses trampling soldiers appeared, and Lou Ban's cavalry broke through the sword and shield soldiers' battle formation of more than ten meters in an instant. In just this moment, Liu Han lost more than a thousand people.

With a buzzing sound, the archers shot their arrows, and many Wuhuan people fell to the ground among the leaping horses. The fallen horses were ownerless and ran around in the Han army's formation.

The flying horseshoes were like heavy hammers, and with just one blow, they could knock down a shield bearer who was leaning on his shield to block the attack. The Wuhuan cavalry on horseback chopped down with their scimitars, slicing open the throats of the Han soldiers and causing blood to spurt out. The chopped-off heads of the Han soldiers spurted out blood like a fountain.

The Han army's spearmen counterattacked, and every spear penetrated the flesh, leaving transparent holes with the sharp spear tips.

For a moment, the entire front line was surrounded by blood and rain, amidst the deafening shouts of killing and the neighing of horses. Fresh lives were lost one after another under the cold swords and guns. Fearless warriors shouted desperately.

However, the Wuhuan had the power of horses after all, and Liu Han's line was being forced to retreat and gradually became loose.

He knew that he could not retreat, he had to complete the encirclement. Xiluolu Liu Han pulled the reins, and the horse under his crotch stood up. "Soldiers, the time of death has come. If you retreat, your homeland will be destroyed, great man!"

Liu Han, the king of the army, the undefeated god of war, the king of the Han Dynasty, is now on the most dangerous front line, advancing and retreating with his comrades. This is the greatest encouragement to the Han army, "Victory!"

"Big man!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Fight back!"

The Yulin Guards, led by Dian Wei, swarmed out. They were warriors picked from thousands of miles away, and they were fearless fighters. With their weapons in hand, they harvested the lives of the enemies in the excitement. Even if they died, they would give the enemy the final blow. In just a moment, the elite Tiger Guards killed 500 enemy cavalrymen, and the central offensive of the Wuhuan was stagnant.

More than 30,000 Wuhuan cavalrymen madly attacked Liu Han's central phalanx. Opening a gap would mean victory.

The Han army only needs to complete the encirclement to inflict heavy damage on the enemy.

Liu Han's armor was already stained with blood. He was not afraid at all in the midst of the chaos. He had only one thought in mind: "Kill!"

When dealing with foreign races, one must use both kindness and severity, so one must first establish one's authority.

For ordinary soldiers, nothing is more morale-boosting than seeing their leaders fighting fearlessly on the front lines.

Liu Han's fearlessness greatly boosted the morale of his own soldiers. They wanted to follow their leader and fight, even if they died, they would have no regrets. At the same time, they were also fighting for their families, their mothers, and their brothers and sisters. They wanted to protect the hard-earned good life at home, which was also one of the important reasons for the high combat effectiveness of the Han army.

"Impossible! This is impossible!" Lou Ban was almost crazy. He couldn't believe that the Han army with only more than 10,000 infantrymen could withstand the attack of tens of thousands of his cavalry.

Xun You, who was on the city wall, saw that the morale of the enemy troops outside the city was collapsing, and immediately ordered Qian Zhao and Tian Chou to lead their troops out of the city to provide support.

Hu Liuye rode up covered in blood and shouted, "Your Majesty, the Han army is about to form an encirclement. Our light cavalry cannot fight against the heavy cavalry of the Han army. The Han army also has a large number of archers to assist. If we are surrounded, we will be wiped out! Retreat!"

"Bullshit!" Lou Ban cursed. Liu Han was so close, he didn't want to give up. He had an army of 100,000, so what if 30,000 were surrounded? He still had 70,000!
Now it all depends on one's last breath. Whoever can't hold on first will lose.

While Liu Han was holding off Lou Ban's frontal charge, his cavalry and archer units were about to complete a roundabout encirclement of Lou Ban.

If they counterattacked, Liu Han's 10,000 heavy cavalry would be tightened like the tight hoop on Monkey King's head, and combined with the shooting of the archers behind them, the Wuhuan people would surely die.

Looking down from the sky, the battle line stretching for thousands of meters was shrinking. The dust that was constantly pressing towards the center was the best evidence. The Wuhuan people in the center were so small, and the last gap was about to be closed!

At this moment, Lou Ban's bloodshot eyes widened, and the veins on his head twisted and bulged like a centipede, trembling violently with the blood flow.

The Han troops in the city also swarmed out, and it seemed like a fantasy to capture Shanhaiguan today.

"My king, let's retreat!" Hu Liuye cried out.

Lou Ban suddenly pulled him off his horse and shouted angrily: "What do you know! If our army retreats from the gap, the Han army will definitely surround us from both sides. What should we do then? Even if the Han army stands still and just shoots arrows, our army will be in danger of death if we pass through the middle!"

"What should I do?" Hu Liuye clamped his legs tightly around the horse's belly, so he didn't fall down due to leaning over.

Today's decisive battle, either Liu Han dies or I die! Lou Ban let him go, raised the sharp scimitar in his hand, and prepared to fight to the death. At this moment, the sound of the horn came from behind. Lou Ban was furious: "Gongsun Du!" (End of this chapter)
