"With 3,000 new soldiers, she defeated 15,000 Taishan bandits, beheaded more than 600, and captured 1,300. Taishan bandit Wu Dun fled back to Jiqiu County. How did she do it..."

Chu Tian, ​​who was blocked in Battle Soul Town, received the battle report from Xia Cheng and couldn't believe it.

He simply did not expect the rear to take the initiative to attack. He only asked to stick to Xia City and wait for his return.

As a result, Xia Liang, who stayed in Xia City, defeated Wu Dun who besieged Liangshan Town with 3,000 new soldiers, and became famous in Langya Kingdom.

Although Wu Dun was not a famous general, he was still one of the famous Taishan bandit leaders, and he brought 15,000 soldiers and horses.

You must know that Xia Liang's career choice is civil servant, which does not bring any bonus to the army.

"A person with a good brain is top-notch in everything he does. He is worthy of being the best among women."

Chu Tian could only think so.

Even Chu Tian could not do better than using lime and fire horse formations to defeat the enemy, and setting up additional suspicious troops to interfere with the enemy's judgment.

No matter what, the two groups of soldiers and horses that threatened Xia Cheng have been defeated by Xia Liang with his resourcefulness. Xia Cheng faced a much smaller threat. This gave Chu Tian more time to conquer Yangdu County.

"Xueyue, lead your troops to surround Zhanhun Town, wait for me to defeat Xu Sheng's army, and then continue the attack."

After Chutian knew how much pressure [Ling Ling Kanshu 00kxs] was facing, he had to be faster.

Xue Yue left 10,000 people to monitor Qi Xiaobai and Wu Sangui, while Chu Tian led 15,000 people to attack the various lords who came for reinforcements.

Xia Cheng's forces used limited troops to fight against enemies several times their own. In almost every battle, the weak would defeat the strong. The anti-Chutian alliance could afford to lose many times, but Chutian could not afford to lose once.

Xu Sheng's army has advanced to a place less than fifteen miles away from War Spirit Town.

Xu Sheng knew that Chu Tian had at least two fierce generals, and with the five thousand men in his hands, he might not be Chu Tian's opponent, so he did not continue to march, but waited for other reinforcements to arrive.

Troops from eight lords arrived one after another and joined Xu Sheng's army, forming an army of 29,000 people.

These lords learned that Xu Sheng was the general of the lord of Lingcheng in Ju County, so they appointed Xu Sheng as the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces. Xu Sheng led the coalition forces to march south.

Xu Sheng judged that the 29,000-strong army was enough to threaten Chutian with retreat.

However, Chu Tian did not retreat, but led 15,000 men to attack Xu Sheng's army.

This was one of the rare times when Chu Tian had a head-on confrontation with a historical military general. The opponent had more soldiers and horses, and it was not easy to fall into the trap.

The two armies met on a plain twelve miles away from War Spirit Town and formed their formation.

Chutian is located in the south, with Zhou Yafu's Xiliu Battalion and heavy infantry as the center, and Li Guang's Shesheng Battalion as the rear.

Hua Mulan led the cavalry on the flank.

Chu Tian had already ordered that Hua Mulan be prohibited from charging in the front in this battle. He only wanted Hua Mulan to give the cavalry an attack and defense bonus.

Fang Xuanling, who served as military advisor, followed Chu Tian, ​​observing the battlefield and providing advice at any time.

To the north is Xu Sheng's 29,000 men, also with infantry as the center and cavalry as the flanks.

"The troops on the opposite side are twice ours, and with Xu Sheng's command and bonuses, this battle will be difficult to fight."

Chu Tian felt a little uneasy.

There were eight lords on the opposite side. The lord of Lingcheng did not come in person and only sent Xu Sheng to command the troops.

"The opponent is the First Alien Lord Chu Zimou. He has several famous generals and high-level troops under his command. We cannot take it lightly."

"No one is allowed to betray an ally. Those who surrender or escape before the war situation completely collapses will not die well."

This group of lords has been able to persist until now, knowing that betraying allies is a taboo.

Throughout the ages, there have been many examples of people being betrayed by teammates.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of war drums sounded, and Chu Tian's army, which was on the weaker side, took the initiative to attack Xu Sheng's army!

"As expected of the first lord, he is full of strong confidence in his generals and soldiers, and he dares to take the initiative to attack even though the number of troops is half of ours."

The eight lords fell into unrest, and the pressure brought by the first lord was greater than they imagined.

There is a reason why the first lord is the first lord, and there is a strong military force behind it.

Xiliu Camp and Shesheng Camp advanced with ordinary archers.

"When two armies meet, the brave one wins! Attack!"

Xu Sheng's army also launched an offensive!

The war drums of the two armies were beating, and the momentum was shaking the heaven and the earth!

This was the largest official battle that took place in Langya Kingdom. 15,000 people versus 29,000 people!

The bows and crossbows of both sides were thrown, and the sharpshooters of the Shesheng Battalion showed off their skills. The sharp arrows fired were fast and fierce! The light infantry and archers of Xu Shengjun who were hit by the arrows thrown by the Shesheng Battalion were almost killed with one arrow!

The heavy infantry of Langya City were placed at the front by Zhou Yafu. This group of heavy infantry, wearing heavy armor and holding heavy shields, charged on foot against the rain of arrows, their pace getting faster and faster!

Under the premise that both sides were killing each other with arrows, the front rows of the two troops finally collided!

The bright spear stabbed the opponent, and the two sides fought hand-to-hand!

Behind the heavy infantry of Langya City was the Xiliu Camp. The soldiers of the Xiliu Camp first used infantry crossbows to shoot the infantry on the opposite side, and then used halberds to form a dense square formation and join in the close combat.

Li Guang rode a war horse and held a long bow, constantly sniping at the opponent's generals.

A silver-level general who was commanding the army was shot by Li Guang and fell off his horse, causing everyone to panic.

The battlefield was filled with cries of killing, and it was estimated that the battle would not be resolved within a few hours if this fighting continued.

The Xiliu Camp and the Shesheng Camp are fierce, but after all, their opponents have too many people, which can offset the advantages brought by Xia City's small number of elite soldiers.

The enemy general is Xu Sheng, so it is difficult to defeat the opponent's morale with elite troops.

"The cavalry is ordered to attack. The outcome of this battle will be decided by the cavalry."

Chu Tian had almost no reserve troops, so he placed his hope on the cavalry.

With Zhou Yafu who is good at defense holding on, Chu Tian believed that it would be difficult for Xu Sheng to crack Zhou Yafu's tough nut.

Hua Mulan led more than 2,000 cavalry to attack the cavalry on the opposite side.

Xu Sheng's army has about three thousand cavalry, and the cavalry is led by a gold-level cavalry general.

Gold-level generals are very rare, but the lords of the Anti-Chutian Alliance this time are not actually small and medium lords, but large lords from other counties. It is not surprising to have a gold-level cavalry general.

Gold-level ordinary cavalry generals can already cause a lot of trouble to historical generals. After all, some historical generals themselves are only gold-level, such as Mi Fang. However, the characteristics of historical generals are more domineering.

The two cavalry clashed, and Xia Cheng's light cavalry had the advantage due to Hua Mulan's bonus.

The largest cavalry battle in the Langya Kingdom so far broke out between the two sides. Spears and straight-edged knives collided. Cavalrymen were killed at every moment, and the Yi River was dyed red with blood!

The precious cavalry and war horses were constantly consumed in the battle, and one general's achievements were reduced to ten thousand bones!

Hua Mulan was ordered by Chu Tian not to take the lead. When she saw the two sides fighting, she couldn't help herself, but she could only take down her long bow and shoot the opponent's cavalry general.

A gold-level cavalry general held a spear and stabbed down a Xia City cavalryman.

Suddenly, his instinct made him avoid subconsciously, and an arrow hit the red tassel on his helmet, almost hitting his head.

Another arrow came, and the cavalry general's horse was hit by an arrow. The horse stumbled and threw the cavalry general away...

Behind the light cavalry led by Hua Mulan, an iron barrel-like heavy cavalry was ready.

"The opponent's will is very strong."

Xu Sheng used a long bow to shoot arrows at Zhou Yafu's army, but the iron arrows were blocked by the shields of the Xiliu camp infantry.

He realized that Zhou Yafu was a strong enemy, and it was clear that he had already pressed forward with superior troops. He even bent his bow and shot arrows himself, but in the end he was still unable to break through Zhou Yafu's defense line.

According to Xu Sheng's vision, this should be a defeat, not a tug-of-war.

Zhou Yafu relied on the Xiliu Camp and inferior troops to fight Xu Sheng back and forth. The two sides fought for half an hour, and there was almost no change in the battle line.

Chutian sent Zhou Yafu just to disgust Xu Sheng.

Unless the opponent has an absolute advantage or is a better offensive general than Zhou Yafu, it is possible to defeat Zhou Yafu relatively easily.

Otherwise, the opponent will be disgusted by Zhou Yafu who is good at defense...

Zhou Yafu's troops have a 30% defense bonus, and Hua Mulan's 10% defense bonus to friendly forces. In addition, Zhou Yafu's troops are not prone to negative states such as confusion and reduced morale.

In other words, if you want to defeat Zhou Yafu, you must confront Zhou Yafu head-on, and the defense of Zhou Yafu's army is extremely high... This is enough to disgust people.

At least Xu Sheng is feeling very uncomfortable now.

"General, our cavalry is defeated!"

An unfavorable news came.

Xu Sheng was able to fight Zhou Yafu with his superior strength. He could not do anything to Zhou Yafu, and Zhou Yafu could not do anything to him for a while. However, Xu Sheng's cavalry did not have the numerical advantage and was defeated by Hua Mulan's light cavalry. Xu Sheng's army's flanks were exposed.

Under the attack of Mulan's cavalry.

"On the flanks, the rear army formed a phalanx of spears, equipped with crossbowmen, to fully guard against the opponent's cavalry surprise attack."

Xu Sheng used two weapons, spears and infantry crossbows, to deal with Hua Mulan's cavalry.

The last battle has proven that this is a weapon against light cavalry.

Hua Mulan's light cavalry did not take the initiative to attack the opponent's flank. Instead, they raised dust and surrounded Xu Sheng's army, trying to find a breakthrough point.
