The last three kingdoms

Chapter 868 The Battle of Xinkou

Zhang Le's position was slightly behind, and he was not attacked by the Huns cavalry. However, the Shu army, including Zhang Le, which was not divided and surrounded by the Huns, only accounted for a small part. Trapped in a heavy siege, Zhang Le didn't care about other things. He rode his horse and swung his spear, and led the army to rush up, trying to rescue the besieged Shu army.

Zhang Le has drilled in the poor mountain ditch for a few years, and his body fat has lost a lot, but his strength has not diminished at all. He swung his spear with both hands, drank a lot, and as soon as he rushed up, he picked up several opponents one after another. The cavalry of the Huns were invincible to those who stood in their way, and they fought their way out with blood.

But no matter how brave Zhang Le is alone, he can only save a few people. Nearly [-]% of Wudang Flying Army's people are trapped in a tight siege. Even with all his strength, Zhang Le can't save them flawlessly.

Looking at the unmanageable situation in front of him, Zhang Le's eyes were burning with anxiety, but there was nothing he could do.

At this moment, a loud voice suddenly came from behind: "Second brother, don't worry, I'll help you!"

Zhang Le looked back, it was none other than Zhao Zhuo who led the Yang'an Army to kill him, he couldn't help being overjoyed, and said, "Third brother is here!"

When attacking the city earlier, Zhang Le insisted on Wudang's flying army to attack first, but Zhao Zhuo couldn't resist him, so he had to lead Wudang's flying army to go first, and he took a rest two or three miles away to sweep the formation for Wudang's flying army .

After the siege battle started, the Wudang Flying Army seemed to fight smoothly. They broke through the Huns' defenses several times and attacked the city. Unfortunately, they failed to expand their victories and took Xinkou Pass in one fell swoop.

Just when Zhao Zhuo was considering whether to send troops to help him, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed, and a group of Xiongnu cavalry suddenly came out from Xinkou Pass. It's like entering the land of no one.

Zhao Zhuo was startled suddenly, and immediately ordered the Yang'an Army to press forward to rescue the Wudang Fei Army.

Although the Yang'an army was resting on the periphery, they had not really reached the point where the horses entered the Nanshan Mountains and put their swords and guns into storage. Zhao Zhuo had long ago ordered the Yang'an army to be ready to go into battle at any time.

As soon as the situation happened here, Zhao Zhuo led the Yang'an army to rush forward recklessly, but the Yang'an army was still a mile or two away from the Wudang Fei army, no matter how fast the progress was, it was impossible to catch up with the Xiongnu cavalry When the Yang'an army rushed up, the Wudang Fei army was surrounded by the Huns, and the two sides fell into a fierce battle.

Seeing Zhang Le's anxious state, Zhao Zhuo immediately yelled to let Zhang Le relax.

At this time, the Yang'an army's long spear formation had already taken the lead in fighting the Huns.

The most effective weapon against the Xiongnu cavalry is the van, which is the standard equipment of each infantry army, but the Wudang Flying Army has no chance to use it, and the Yang'an Army is urgently rescued, so it is too late to use it. After all, it is too much They are bulky, and all the vans used by the left army are unimproved vans, which have obvious defects in speed. If the Yangan army really uses the vans, it is estimated that the day lily will be cold.

In addition, the most effective way to deal with cavalry is the spear array. The dense forest of spears can effectively resist the sharp offensive of the cavalry, and at the same time it is flexible. According to needs, the spear array of the Shu army can be transformed into various forms. The shape of the Yang'an army can be used as a whole, or it can be dispersed into independent teams and attack separately.

At present, the Shu army is adopting the formation of individual small teams. A large formation like the overall formation is good for the confrontation between the two armies, but at this moment, there is no need to rescue the flying army, and there is no need for the Yang'an army to form a large formation. On the contrary, this kind of flexible and changeable small formation is more practical.

The Huns are wantonly besieging and killing the Wudang Flying Army, but the Wudang Flying Army is not a persimmon for the Huns to knead. It is not easy for the Huns to gnaw off this hard bone.

But at this moment, the Yang'an army had already rushed forward, and the phalanx squads with guns like forests were like sharp knives, easily breaking through the Huns' defense line and entering the formation.

The Huns couldn't help feeling a little frustrated. Seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly away, they certainly couldn't tolerate it. Originally, Huyanlang sent this cavalry to attack the morale of the Shu army, but they didn't expect to achieve much. .

However, due to the slackness of the Wudang Flying Army, the Huns had an opportunity to besiege the Shu Army as soon as they attacked, as if a group of hungry wolves were about to enjoy their gluttonous feast. Their sweet dreams, their anger can be imagined.

But the anger is the anger. It is not easy for the Huns to organize cavalry to counterattack the Yang'an army. First, the Wudang flying army in the encirclement has not had time to digest it; It is a formation to restrain cavalry loss, so that the Huns cavalry are helpless.

With the support of the Yang'an army, the trapped Wudang Feijun was even more energetic, and immediately launched a battle to break out of the siege, trying to join the Yang'an army.

Under the cooperation of the inside and outside of the Shu army, the siege of the Huns was completely broken, and the situation was completely reversed. The Shu army, which had the upper hand in terms of strength, began a major counterattack. The Huns cavalry could not resist and retreated steadily.

Hu Yanlang watched from the top of the city, and sighed secretly, if the Wudang Flying Army's will was weaker, or if the Yang'an Army came to help a little later, the attack of the Huns' cavalry this time will surely achieve fruitful results. The result of the battle, it is a pity that the opportunity is not lost, and the loss will never come again.

In desperation, Hu Yanlang had no choice but to order Ming Jin to withdraw his troops. Since there was no chance of winning, if the battle continued, the Huns' cavalry would suffer the most.

After the Huns retreated, Zhang Le, who was still ashamed just now, seemed to be revived with blood at this moment, and said energetically: "I haven't blamed him on the Huns, how dare these grandsons come to attack me today? I have to give them some flair, I will not give up until I take Xinkouguan down."

At that moment, Zhang Le ordered the Wudang Flying Army to attack again. This is the Wudang Flying Army. After changing to another army, they had just escaped from the edge of life and death. Being a flying army has such abilities, and it really doesn't work if you don't accept it.

The soldiers of the Wudang Flying Army really wanted revenge, and now they were eager to get back the place they lost just now, and they all tried their best to attack Xinkou Pass as if they were desperate, wanting to avenge this arrow.

Zhao Zhuo's Yang'an army couldn't rest, and cooperated with Wudang Feijun to launch a fierce attack on Xinkou Pass.

Under the attack of the two Shu armies, the entire Xinkou Pass was in danger.
