Great Han Empire

Chapter 904 Troubled Times Heroic Chapter Wins Central Plains
Right in front of the gate, the northern border army set up Juma and Luzhai. When the enemy passed through, they would be shot and killed by long arrows.

Ma Chao's cavalry suddenly split into three at a distance of two hundred steps from the gate.One led by Wang Rong continued to charge forward, but at a very slow speed, aiming to attract the opponent's arrow array, while Ma Chao and Jiang Feng each led an iron cavalry to attack forward along both sides of the obstacle.

The Northern Xinjiang Army's arrows rained like rain, and thousands of archers shot wantonly at the enemies outside the camp.

Xiliang iron cavalry rode their horses like flying horses, charged bravely, and the killing sound shook the sky for a while.

He Feng Zhuma stood in front of the battle formation, closed his eyes and listened carefully to the roar outside the camp, suddenly his expression changed slightly, he turned around and shouted: "Urgently tell Wang Fang, Du Ping, the enemy cavalry is rushing from the two wings, immediately It’s about to break through the fence, ask them to be ready to block.”

The messenger agreed loudly, pulled his horse into the battle formation, and galloped back.

"My lord, why did you let the people from Xiliang come in?" A tall and burly young soldier rode close to He Feng and said loudly, "We can rely on Juma, deer stockade and fences to keep the enemy out of the camp, so that our Casualties would be greatly reduced."

He Feng glanced at him.Raising the whip in his hand, he turned around and pointed to the city in the distance, "According to what you said, then we might as well retreat to the city and hold on, the loss will be smaller."

The young military marquis felt embarrassed when he heard He Fengyu's sarcasm.This military marshal is Hao Zhao, who has been with He Feng for many years. He fought bravely and made many military exploits, which was highly appreciated by He Feng.It was precisely because of this that he dared to vent his dissatisfaction in front of He Feng.

"Bo Dao, our purpose of this battle is not to defend, not to keep the rebels out of the camp, but to attack, to kill the rebels under the Wannian City." He Feng knocked Hao Zhao's head with his horsewhip The battle helmet said solemnly, "We set up the formation in this way to show weakness in defense, first draw all the enemies out, and drag them all into the battlefield. Therefore, we can neither retreat to the city, nor can we use Juma, Luzhai, and tall and strong The fence kept the enemy out of the camp. After the enemy's attack intentions were fully exposed, we quickly transformed from defense to offense, taking advantage of our weak strength in strength to launch a fatal blow."

"Do we have an advantage in military strength?" Hao Zhao asked in surprise, "Do we still have reinforcements?"

He Feng glared at him, "You kid is getting more and more presumptuous. You also asked this kind of thing?"

"If we fight like this, our casualties are too great." Hao Zhao said excitedly, "They could have survived."

"If you want to defeat your opponent, if you want to keep more people alive, someone must make sacrifices." He Feng said coldly, "You just need to remember two points, one is to attack, keep attacking, and two It's killing the enemy, killing the enemy non-stop, other things have nothing to do with you."

As soon as He Feng finished speaking, the fence more than 100 steps away on the left suddenly made a loud noise, followed by the fence being torn apart, and the broken planks flew all over the sky.

Xiliang people rushed in.

"Boom... Boom..." The ballista of the Northern Border Army roared repeatedly, shaking the ground and shaking the mountains.

On the Wannian City Tower, Xu Rong and Huangfu Li were concentrating on playing chess under the dazzling firelight, turning a deaf ear to the sound of fierce fighting on the battlefield.

When the Xiliang iron cavalry broke into the middle road, the soldiers on the tower were shocked and anxious, and shouted in unison.

"My lord, the enemy cavalry has broken through..."

"My lord, the enemy cavalry has charged into our battle formation..."

Xu Rong pinched the chess piece in his hand, turned his head and asked, "Is there any movement on the left and right flanks of the enemy army?"

"It's approaching, it's approaching." Chen Wei shouted anxiously.

"Infantry or cavalry?"

"It's infantry." Duan Xuan looked carefully at the smoke billowing in the dark night, and said with certainty, "The enemy's two-winged cavalry has stopped, and is waiting for the infantry army to attack first."

Xu Rong slowly put the chess pieces in his hands on the chessboard, "Tell He Feng to retreat gradually, lure the enemy cavalry in the middle, and let them cut off the connection between our left and right wings."

"Brother Zilie, it's not yet dawn, are you in a hurry?" Huangfu Li asked worriedly, "If you withdraw too quickly in the middle, it is likely that Han Sui will change his main attack direction."

"We rely on the city to set up an formation, and the Chinese army is placed in Wannian City. He has no chance at all in the middle. If he wants to defeat us, he can only look for loopholes on the two wings." Xu Rong smiled calmly, "Let's start in the middle. Surround the attacking enemy army. Han Sui had no choice but to rush in with all his troops, so that we can counterattack."

Under Jiao Chu's command, the Five Thousand Yuan Army took the lead in attacking the left flank of the Northern Frontier Army.

They roared all the way, rushed through the arrow array, and overturned the fence.The ballista of the Northern Xinjiang Army gave them a head-on blow.The sharp crossbow shot through the shield, and hundreds of enemies fell to the ground with loud screams, but more enemies rushed forward, and they rushed forward like a tide.

Hua Xiong stood at the forefront, the shield in his hand muffled repeatedly, and the three flying spears were blocked by him one by one, and the sword he held aloft flashed across the air like lightning, and blood shot everywhere in an instant.One enemy had his throat cut, another had half of his cheek chopped off, and a severed hand was swinging in the air, bloody and weird.The moment the broken arm fell, Hua Xiong let out a roar, and the bloody round shield smashed the screaming enemy who was hugging the broken arm and flew away.

"Kill...kill them for me..."

Inspired by the heroic bravery of the general, the soldiers in northern Xinjiang fought bloody battles with high morale.

Jiao Touch's order was to break through the camp of the Northern Border Army and firmly restrain the Northern Border Army so that they could respond to the Xiliang Iron Cavalry attacking from the flank. Originally, he thought that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry would come out later, but who would have thought that he would be killed in front for a long time? I didn't hear the roar of the cavalry army galloping forward.Seeing his subordinates fell on the battlefield one after another, and the army gradually seemed to be retreating, Jiao Chu was anxious and angry, yelling curses, and led his personal guards to kill them recklessly.

Jiao Touch was unstoppable, his spear flew up and down, invincible.Under his leadership, the soldiers fought fiercely, gained a firm foothold immediately, and launched a fierce offensive against the northern army.

Hua Xiong rushed to the enemy's "arrow".He and a dozen personal guards formed a sharp attack formation, and collided head-on with Jiao Touch.The two sides fought to the death, Hua Xiong killed two people in a row, flew in front of Jiao Touch, and chopped them up with a knife.Jiao Touch crossed his spear, and kicked at Hua Xiong's crotch. Almost at the same time, the enemy soldiers behind Jiao Touch raised their crossbows and aimed at Hua Xiong and shot.

Hua Xiong stared at his blood-red eyes, only seeing Jiao Touch's head, he didn't see the enemy's sneak attack at all.The personal guard next to him has sharp eyes and quick hands, and he leaps up to block.Three crossbow arrows pierced through his body in an instant, and Jiao Touch's flying leg just kicked his body into the air.

"Kill..." Hua Xiong wanted to tear his eyes apart, he slashed at the handle of the spear, and the knife broke.Without waiting for Jiao Touch to react, the crazy Hua Xiong followed up with an unimaginable speed and punched him. Jiao Touch couldn't dodge in time, his eyes went dark, and his blood flowed profusely. "Go to hell..." Hua Xiong pierced his head, hitting it with all his strength.As if struck by lightning, Jiao Touch immediately fainted.Hua Xiong stretched out his right hand, grabbed his neck, then grabbed his spear with one hand, roared, and pierced through the enemy pawn who was attacking him head-on.The enemy soldier was throwing his crossbow and raising his saber to attack, although Hua Xiong pierced through it with a spear, but the enemy soldier was extremely strong, he still flew a step forward, the thunderbolt strike was overwhelming.Hua Xiong had nowhere to hide, so he had to use all his strength to pull Jiao Chu to him.A pool of blood spurted up, splashing Hua Xiong's head and face.Jiao Touch's head fell to the ground.

Southeast of the battlefield.

The high-ranking officials stationed at the height of their horses, watching closely the bloody battlefield.

Suddenly, Jiao Touch's battle flag fell down.Gao Gan was suffocated in his heart, and his soul flew out of the sky, "Hurry up, hurry up, tell Xia Zhao urgently, lead people to rush up, rush up, hold your ground, you must hold steady..."

"Urgently tell Liang Xing and Ma Wan, the iron cavalry is dispatched immediately, dispatched immediately..."

Several messengers rushed into the darkness like flying.

"Jiao Chu is too careless, how can he rush to the front in person?" Simpi was filled with grief and indignation, and waved his hands again and again, "Urgently tell Master Han, please ask him to supervise the Qiang people, and then we can attack, otherwise we can't hold back, we have to put all the main force Pull it up."

"Don't worry, don't worry, we can stop it." Gao Gan shouted, "The main force of the right-wing army of the Northern Xinjiang Army has not yet launched. They obviously know that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry will launch an attack soon, so they have been waiting in full force. Now and What we fought was only their former army, not many in number, in order to prevent us from attacking their main phalanx and giving the Xiliang iron cavalry an opportunity, these people also fought desperately and did not retreat a single step."

"Why don't these damned Qiang people attack?"

Gao Gan turned his head and looked into the dark depths, his eyes full of murderous intent.

Seven miles southeast of Wannian City.

Liang Xing turned around in a hurry.Ma Wan pulled his short beard, stared coldly at the three young Qiang men sitting on the ground, and said slowly, "Now it's time for us to attack."

"You don't have eyes." He said angrily, "The Northern Frontier Army has already set up a phalanx. More than 1 of us rushed up, purely looking for death. We want you to go, but we won't go."

"Let your infantry tear apart the phalanx first." Zhudu stood up and pointed to the battlefield in the distance, saying, "You have [-] troops on the right wing, why don't you attack them all? You want to preserve your strength , but let us go to die, hmph..."

"If the infantry army is all charged up now, the main attack direction will be exposed immediately, and the people of Beijiang can use their main force to kill them immediately." Liang Xing walked up to him in two steps, waving his hands and said, "At present, we don't know how many Beijiang people are on the opposite side Iron cavalry. If there are 4 iron cavalry on the opposite side, don’t you know the consequences of these [-] people rushing up?”

"We only have 1 iron cavalry here. If we face the opponent's [-] iron cavalry, we will definitely lose a lot." Mo Sheng jumped up from the ground and shouted with wide eyes, "How many iron cavalry are there on the other side? Do you know it or not?"

"There are only 2 of them at most." Ma Wan pretended to think for a moment, and then said with a serious face, "The [-] cavalry must protect the left, middle, and right roads at the same time, so there are only five or six thousand cavalry on the opposite side of us. We only need Lure them out, crush them, and we'll win the battle."

Lang Lang looked at Liang Xing and Ma Wan thoughtfully, then walked aside alone, bowing his head in thought.Mo Sheng and Zhu Du followed from left to right.

"He's lying to us. There must be a lot of northern Xinjiang cavalry on the opposite side." Mo Sheng said in a low voice.

"If there are many Northern Xinjiang cavalry, they would not dare to fight this battle." Zhu Du said, "I think they just want us to die. The phalanx of the Northern Xinjiang Army is very powerful. Back then, Beigong Boyu, June Both Jinglei and Tuobafeng were defeated by this phalanx."

"Zhu Du is right. Since Master Han dared to fight this battle, he must be fully confident. In addition, we have promised Master Han that we must not go back on our word." After thinking for a while, he said, "We will follow behind them. If we rush to kill the phalanx, we will stop and resolutely not fight."

"Woooo..."

The passionate horn resounded through the night, and the Xiliang iron cavalry started slowly.

=

Northwest of the battlefield.

Li Kan rushed into the right flank of the Northern Frontier Army with five thousand Xiliang infantry, and fought fiercely with Li Yao's army.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Han Sui ordered Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi to lead eight thousand cavalry to follow the infantry army and rush into the battlefield.

=

The darkness suddenly disappeared, and the dawn came quietly.

Zhang Bai rode his horse outside the phalanx, looked up at the gray sky, and patiently waited for the azure blue sky to open.

The air in the early morning is a little humid, with a choking smell of smoke and a strong smell of burnt firewood. The faint breeze sends strands of blood to every corner, making people shudder.

The war horse Zhang Baiqi was sitting on suddenly became restless, his neck raised and hissed from time to time, and then, a puff of smoke swept out from the sky.

Xiliang cavalry is here.

The phalanx civil war drums beat and the flags fluttered, and the soldiers of Northern Xinjiang who were fighting bloody battles on the battlefield also began to retreat gradually, trying to get closer to the phalanx.

=

The sound of long horns came and went, the sound of war drums became more and more intense, and the roar of galloping cavalry even covered up all the sounds on the battlefield.

Xu Rong picked up a chess piece and didn't put it down for a long time.

"My lord, Yang Ming and Liu Ming sent people to ask when the iron cavalry will attack?" Chen Wei's voice whispered in Xu Rong's ear.

"Has the Xiliang cavalry started to charge into the phalanx?"

"No." Chen Wei said, "They slowed down, as if intending to encircle and annihilate the blocking army on the battlefield on our two wings."

Xu Rong frowned, put down the chess pieces, "Order Yang Ming and Liu Ming to lead the army to attack."

=

The horn blared.

By the Baiqu River, five thousand soldiers of the Liao Dynasty flew on their horses, ready to go.

Yang Ming swallowed the food in his mouth, raised his head and took a sip of cold water, then he held up the water bag, allowing the cold river water to splash on his head and face.

"Brothers, follow me to kill the enemy..."

=

Liu Ming led [-] Xiongnu elites and rushed out from the Xiliang people's flanks suddenly, as if cutting obliquely with a knife, which caught the Xiliang people by surprise and split them in two.

"Attack and kill quickly, attack and kill quickly..." Liu Ming raised his saber high and roared, "Cut them off, cut them off."

At this moment, he saw Zhudu.Zhudu is leading the troops to kill in reverse.Without the slightest hesitation, Liu Ming put his saber back into its sheath, picked up his horn bow and shot.

With one bow and three arrows, they shot out fiercely.
