Jiuxi

Chapter 732 [Both the Man and the Horse Are Destroyed]

On the south side of the main battlefield, Huangfu Yu, whose battle robe was stained with blood, urged his horse to come to Li Bingxue and shouted, "General, the central army is in danger!"

"Don't panic."

Li Bingxue's answer was simple and clear. He then looked ahead and said, "We can't go back now. We should kill the enemy first."

Huangfu Yu was so shocked that he even thought there was something wrong with his ears.

He knew that what Li Bingxue said was right. In the previous battles, this Jing Army cavalry had continuously led the Feiyu Army away from the main battlefield. In addition, the two sides were constantly fighting back and forth and the distance between them was very close, so it was difficult for the Feiyu Army to calmly withdraw from the battle and rush to the support of the central army.

But even if it is extremely difficult, how can we just stand by and watch?

Li Bingxue did not explain too much, and said loudly: "Soldiers, follow me forward!"

Under her leadership, the Feiyu Army immediately made plans to move to the northeast.

Seeing this, Yan Zhan, the commander of the Jing army cavalry, sneered and said, "It's too late to think about it now!"

Before, he had been strictly following Pucha's orders, constantly carrying out large-scale roundabout maneuvers, not giving the Feiyu Army the opportunity to engage in a head-on attack, and at the same time forcing the other side to move south with him, in order to keep the other side away from the main position of the Qi Army.

Now that the Feiyu Army has clearly noticed something is wrong, Yan Zhan will certainly not give up all his efforts.

At this point in the battle, it has reached the stage of close combat, and only the brave will win.

Yan Zhan took a deep breath and said sternly: "Kill the enemy!"

This time, the Jing Army cavalry did not choose to detour or evade. Faced with the Feiyu Army who were eager to return to the vicinity of the central army, they followed Yan Zhan's footsteps and went straight to meet them.

It's like two torrents rushing and colliding.

At the moment of facing the enemy, Yan Zhan looked at the female general of Southern Qi riding a white horse and holding a lance in the distance, and suddenly an indescribable uneasiness surged in his heart.

However, he had no time to think about anything as the two cavalry units roared, collided, split, and fought.

After the actual fighting, not only Yan Zan was surprised, but most of the Jing army cavalry also felt something was wrong. Compared with the previous evenly matched battles, the current Feiyu army's combat power was obviously stronger. Could it be that they had been deliberately showing weakness before?

But why do they do this?

The lance in Li Bingxue's hand made a sound like wind and thunder, and almost every time it was swung, a cavalryman of the Jing army fell off his horse.

She stared at the enemy in front of her with cold eyes, venting all the anger that had been accumulating for half a day.

From the very beginning she had never thought about returning to provide assistance, of course this was also the task Lu Chen assigned to her.

Don't pay attention to anything else, just fight with the Jing Army cavalry to the end, and finally annihilate them all to avenge the siege of the Feiyu Army.

Therefore, rather than Yan Zhan thinking that he had successfully lured the Feiyu Army, it was more accurate to say that Li Bingxue took the initiative to follow his rhythm, and then took advantage of the opportunity that the two armies were very close and could not get rid of each other, and then pretended to rescue the central army, forcing Yan Zhan to lead his troops in a head-on decisive battle, which eventually led to an extremely brutal and bloody battle.

She and Huangfu Yu each led half of the cavalry, rushed into the Jing army's formation, and then joined together to charge again.

Cut, surround, hunt.

Blood spurted out and the knife flashed like a rainbow.

Yan Zhan finally realized that the purpose of the Feiyu Army was not to rescue the central army, but to have a decisive battle with the cavalry led by him.

But it was too late. The two cavalry units were completely entangled, and the advantage of the Feiyu Army continued to expand. Even though Yan Zhan's heart was bleeding, he could only grit his teeth and hold on, while hoping that his army could win the victory on the main battlefield.

At the same time, on the north side of the main battlefield, another Jingjun cavalry led by Bi Lan was in a very similar situation. His opponents were the 3,000 cavalry from the Rui Shi Battalion led by Ye Jitong and the 2,000 cavalry transferred from the Feiyu Army.

The two armies had equal strength, but the 3,000 elite cavalrymen of the Rui Shi Camp easily tore open the formation of the Jing army, and then broke into it and turned the tide.

The battlefields of the two cavalry confrontations suddenly became fierce, while the main battlefield was changing rapidly, and the Jing army suddenly became extremely powerful.

The armored soldiers led by Aliban rushed out from the flank and headed straight for the position of the Guangling Army. The strength of this Jing Army infantry should be among the best in the Xiejie Army, and the Guangling Army is slightly weaker among the armies in Dingzhou, and it is indeed impossible to forcibly stop them. Liu Yin made the wisest choice at this moment and led his troops to move closer to the Zhenbei Army in the middle, trying his best to keep the formation intact.

The problem is that the appearance of this Jing army infantry is not just to help Chelimu stabilize his position.

Behind them was a cavalry unit of the Jing army, which rushed out along the space opened up by the infantry in front.

The three armies of Dingzhou were unable to stop it at this moment. The strongest Zhenbei Army was blocked by their comrades in the Guangling Army, and now they were fighting with the infantry of the Jing Army. It was impossible for them to easily get rid of the opponent's counterattack. They could only watch the Jing Army cavalry cross the main battlefield and rush straight to the central army where their general flag was.

The wind howled and the earth shook.

The Jing army's cavalry swept in, like an iron curtain sliding across the ground, raising countless flying dust.

At the general's flag, He Sujia tightly grasped his spear, his eyes fixed on the Qi army's flag in the distance.

Moving his gaze slightly, he noticed the Qi army infantrymen who had formed a battle formation in front of him.

What made him a little surprised was that the Qi army did not seem to have arranged strong archers in the infantry phalanx, nor did they use spear formations to organize defense.

As the distance got closer, the situation of the Qi army's infantry came into He Sujia's sight. Under the bright sunshine, thousands of infantrymen formed a square formation to block the central army. These people were all tall and sturdy, and each of them held a very strange long sword.

He Sujia took a deep breath and began to speed up his horse, followed closely by the Jing army cavalry. Under normal circumstances, it would be very stupid for light cavalry to charge the enemy's infantry formation. It would be a wise choice for cavalry to use their high mobility to harass and shake the enemy's formation, but heavy cavalry was not one of them. They were born to charge.

In the Battle of Kaocheng two months ago, Wu Yanshu used 3,000 heavily-armored cavalry to break through Han Zhongjie's central army formation and achieved a resounding victory.

Pucha followed suit. Although the more than 4,000 cavalry led by Sujia were not considered heavy cavalry, they were also equipped with a lot of armor. Their mounts were all carefully selected tall horses, which were almost all of Pucha's assets.

This reduced the strength of the cavalry led by Yan Zhan and Bi Lan, but choices must be made on the battlefield. As long as the Qi army's flag can be cut down, Pucha firmly believes that his efforts will be rewarded.

At this moment, he had come to Chelimu's side. The two of them looked at the situation in the distance side by side. Seeing Aliban leading his troops to fight his way out of a bloody battle, and Sujia leading his troops to charge into the battle formation smoothly, the heavy stones in their hearts fell to the ground steadily.

Now all that’s left is the final shiver.

Even though they were veterans of the battlefield, Pucha and Chelimu felt dry mouth and were very nervous at this time.

On the Qi army's position, the soldiers silently looked at the Jing army's cavalry rushing towards them.

Captain Bao Meng of the Ruishi Battalion and Captain Liu Chengdong of the Zhenbei Army each led 3,000 elite soldiers. Their rough voices sounded almost at the same time, and the content was roughly similar.

"The Grand Commander has issued an order. Anyone who retreats will be killed immediately!"

"It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but only a moment to deploy it. Today is the day for you and me to fight for our country. We must die moving forward, never retreating and dying!"

Six thousand people repeated the last words in unison: "We can only die moving forward, never die moving backward!"

Bao Meng and Liu Chengdong took a step forward and roared, "Kill the enemy!"

"kill!"

The hundreds of elite Tiger Guards standing in the front clenched their long swords, exerted force with both hands, and pointed the blades diagonally backwards.

The flood is approaching.

The cavalry of the Jing army formed a battle line of over a hundred feet. The flying hooves of the horses kicked up countless pieces of mud. The ever-increasing speed seemed to tear the air apart as they swept forward.

From fifty feet to twenty feet, the distance was getting closer and closer, and the soldiers on both sides could already see each other's faces clearly.

All of them were cold and resolute.

On one side are the most elite armored cavalry in the world, and on the other side are the elite infantry who have undergone the most rigorous training.

The wind howled, and the sky and the earth changed color.

collide!

Hundreds of riders came riding on the clouds and charged straight into the Qi army's position.

At the same time, hundreds of specially made long swords raised their tails, and then swung the blades from back to front with the middle as the axis.

At the moment when the Jing army cavalry rushed up, the nearly ten-foot-long swords were like hundreds of stunning rays of light blooming brilliantly at the front line of the position.

"die!"

Bao Meng let out an angry roar from his chest, and chopped forward with the long sword in his hand, meeting the spears of Jing Jun's cavalry.

Although he was attacking from above and his opponent had the advantage of being high above him, Bao Meng's sword chopped down first with incredible sharpness, and terrifying power burst out from his burly body like a mountain.

The spear was cut off directly, but the blade did not stop. It first slashed across the chest of the Jing army cavalry. The opponent's armor was as fragile as paper and broke into pieces. Immediately, a wound deep enough to see the bone and with flesh and blood turned outward appeared. It was actually opened directly by Bao Meng.

The long knife continued to move down and chopped on the horse's neck. The bloody horse head fell to the ground, and the headless horse body fell to the ground in panic with the dead Jing army cavalryman.

Blood sprayed all over Bao Meng's body and face, but he continued to move forward nonchalantly, laughing ferociously.

This scene happened everywhere on the battlefield.

The Jing Army cavalry were indeed the elite troops selected by Pucha, but the 6,000 heavily armored infantry standing in front of them were the result of Lu Chen’s hard work!
After the first confrontation, both sides suffered casualties. However, what frightened the Jing cavalry was that the casualties they caused to the Qi infantry were within their expectations, but the opponent's counterattack was so fierce that they could not imagine, especially the long swords in the hands of the Qi infantry, which were so sharp that they were frightened. Even the slightest touch would cause their skin to be torn apart!

The advantage of armored cavalry is its terrifying impact force, but its disadvantage is its extremely poor mobility and there is no way back.

This time, they encountered not enemies who had no power to fight back, but an iron wall formed by countless sharp soldiers holding long swords.

What’s even more terrifying is that this is a wall that keeps advancing forward!
"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Under the flag of the Qi army, Lu Chen personally beat the drum. Along with the majestic and high-pitched drumbeats, six thousand heavily-armored sharp soldiers advanced instead of retreating. They waved their long swords and marched forward with high spirits.

Anyone who stands in the way will be killed; anyone who stands in the way will be chopped off!
