Chapter 233 An unprecedented powerful enemy!(1/2)
"Destroy them for me!"
Hua Xiong brandished his sword and took the lead, leading the Xiliang cavalry to attack the left wing of the enemy infantry phalanx!
The spear stabbed Hua Xiong, and Hua Xiong's broadsword broke more than ten spears in a row. The Xiliang cavalry trampled through the enemy's front row, and their iron hoofs ran over the enemy's face!
The Xiliang cavalry broke through the opponent's three, four, and five rows of infantry one after another, with great momentum!
When the speed of the heavy cavalry gradually decreased, Hua Xiong killed one of the enemy's generals who was supervising the battle in the front row, and the enemy's morale dropped even faster.
Hua Xiong led the first row of Xiliang cavalry to protrude from the flanks and join the rear of Xiliang cavalry.
The second row of Xiliang Cavalry becomes the first row!
The second row finished rushing, protruded from the flanks, and joined the rear, followed by the third row and the fourth row!
Row after row of Xiliang cavalry hit the opponent's thick infantry square like a tide, and have broken through fifteen rows of the opponent's soldiers one after another!
Hundreds of infantrymen on the left wing died under the attack of the Xiliang cavalry!
What is even more precarious is that the left wing may be completely destroyed by the Xiliang cavalry, causing the 100,000 infantry and archer army in the center to completely collapse!
"That cavalry, are they Xiliang cavalry?!"
"It's most likely that our phalanx may be broken through by the opponent's Xiliang cavalry at any time. What should we do?"
The lords of Xuzhou panicked for a while. Chutian went into battle with his trump card and destroyed everything. The Xiliang cavalry attacked continuously and could destroy the left wing of the coalition at any time!
"Chu Zimou has such a heavy cavalry, which is invincible. My position as a state pastor is not guaranteed."
Tao Qian couldn't help but feel frightened when facing the fierce Xiliang cavalry.
Compared with the Xuzhou heavy cavalry which was intercepted by the opponent's chariot and fort, the Xiliang cavalry led by Hua Xiong was invincible and broke through their own thick infantry phalanx one after another.
The Xiliang cavalry with Hua Xiong as its commander is far more powerful than the ordinary Xuzhou heavy cavalry!
All Xuzhou lords, including Tao Qian as the Xuzhou Mu, put their hopes in the coach Xiang Yan. It depends on how he directs and turns the tide.
Xiang Yan took his time and said: "The heavy infantry reserve and the crossbowmen reserve are ready for battle!"
A heavy infantry force of 2,000 men and crossbowmen of 5,000 men went to support the left wing that was about to be destroyed by the Xiliang cavalry.
"Can this infantry stop the fierce Xiliang cavalry?"
"Everything can only be left to fate."
"Song Jiang led 20,000 reserve troops to assist the right-wing cavalry in defense."
Xiang Yan continued to issue orders.
He found that the 15,000 cavalry on the right wing were in danger of being overwhelmed by Hua Mulan's 4,000 cavalry, so he had no choice but to send Song Jiang to support.
"The opponent's reserve team takes action!"
Chutian always pays attention to the movements of the enemy's reserve team. Since the opponent has sent a reserve team, Chutian can also mobilize the reserve team.
"Zhao Yun, lead 1,500 white horse cavalry to support Hua Mulan. Be sure to penetrate the opponent's right wing!"
"Zang Ba and Sun Guan led the infantry to support Hua Xiong and tear apart the enemy's formation!"
Chu Tian sent out the reserve force, leaving only Lu Zhi's 8,000 infantry and archers by his side.
He has made a desperate move. By sending two reserve teams this time, he may be able to win.
Zhao Yun's white horse cavalry were extremely conspicuous, gathering into a white river and sweeping towards Hua Mulan's direction!
The white horse in the front fired an arrow from his bow, causing all the enemy riders on the opposite side to fall to the ground!
Hua Mulan fell into the opponent's human sea tactics and led the light cavalry to break out. Zhao Yun's cavalry mounted fire cover on the flanks, killing and injuring the opponent's cavalry.
The Tang Dao in Hua Mulan's hand curled up because she had killed too many enemies, so she threw it away. She pulled out the second Tang Dao from her waist and continued to kill the enemies!
There are too many enemies!
Song Jiang's 20,000 people are moving towards Zhao Yun, and the situation is even more dangerous.
Hua Xiong's Xiliang Cavalry finally encountered an obstacle when it broke through. A group of heavy infantrymen holding guns blocked the Xiliang Cavalry! While the Xiliang Cavalry took away part of the opponent's heavy infantry, the Xiliang Cavalry also suffered many casualties!
"All troops attack!"
Xiang Yan ordered the drums to be beaten for the second time!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of war drums made Chu Tian tremble with fear!
After a quick burst of momentum, it failed again. At this time, it was completely inapplicable to the Xuzhou Allied Forces, because Chutian discovered that the morale of Xiang Yan's army was actually rising!
"How can it be!"
It was the first time that Chutian encountered such a terrifying enemy general!
Now that the morale of both sides has been low, the morale of Xiang Yan's army suddenly boosted, and they once again broke out in combat effectiveness and attacked across the board!
The Langya Kingdom's army fell into a passive position, and Xiang Yan's army continued to attack!
Zhou Yafu has the characteristic of running an army, and his morale decreases very slowly, but even so, he cannot resist the bonus brought by the increase in the opponent's morale.
"Shrink the defense line!"
Faced with an extremely dangerous situation, Zhou Yafu could only strengthen his defense and wait for the opponent's high morale to drop before making a counterattack.
Hua Xiong's Xiliang cavalry was in dire straits. He found that after the opponent's heavy infantry arrived, the speed of his Xiliang cavalry dropped, making it difficult to break through, resulting in hundreds of casualties!
The expensive seventh-level heavy cavalry were like consumables, falling down one by one!
Surrounded by spears, Hua Xiong even killed more than a dozen of the opponent's heavy infantry, but was unable to open the opponent's defense line. Instead, he was in danger of being flanked!
Xiang Yan frequently mobilized troops and horses. About 20,000 troops escaped from the main phalanx and attacked Hua Xiong's heavy cavalry, hoping to wipe out a thousand Xiliang cavalry!
The Xiliang cavalry loses the space to charge and will be swallowed up by the infantry all over the mountains and plains.
Hua Xiong rushed into the enemy formation and fought bloody battles. He did not expect that he would experience such a tragic battle just after he took refuge with General Fubo.
Otherwise, he will die in this battle!
"General Hua Xiong, don't panic!"
As the vanguard general of the reserve force, Sun Guan led 3,000 infantrymen to defeat the Xuzhou infantry who tried to attack Huaxiong together, and supported Huaxiong's retreat!
He held a spear in his hand and rushed left and right. His life-threatening attacks actually scared off many enemies.
Zang Ba led 5,000 infantry and archers to support the attack from behind.
"We can't let them escape."
Xiang Yan noticed Zang Ba and Sun Guan's intentions, and once again mobilized ten thousand reserves with high morale to press on the three Langya generals!
The pressure on Zang Ba, Sun Guan, and Hua Xiong suddenly increased due to Xiang Yan's command of the pincer attack.
Three people with a force of just over 10,000 are unable to sustain themselves when faced with an attack by 40,000 enemies!
An arrow hit Sun Guan in the back. Sun Guan groaned and continued to fight at the risk of his life, cutting down the enemies in front of him!
Huanshou Dao, the Tang Dao curled up due to cutting armor!
Zang Ba's face was covered with blood, not only the blood of his enemies, but also his own blood!
There are enemies on all sides, and the superior military strength has been mobilized by the opponent's commander. The generals of Langya Kingdom are engaged in an unprecedented bitter battle!
"No matter how hard you struggle, it's meaningless. Your troops are too few. As long as you meet a top commander, you will definitely lose!"
Yang Ye led 12,000 cavalry to fight against Xue Rengui. Even if Xue Rengui could kill hundreds of cavalry, it would be difficult to continue facing Yang Ye's human sea tactics.
Xue Rengui wanted to step forward to kill Yang Ye and force the opponent's army to collapse, but Yang Ye followed his lord's order and avoided fighting, constantly using cavalry to consume Xue Rengui.
His cavalry is so numerous that he doesn’t feel any pain at all!
A Xuzhou cavalryman was knocked off his horse by Xue Rengui. He had turned into a bloody man. With his own strength, he killed hundreds of people in one battle!
Only 300 of the 500 Tang Dynasty archers were still with Xue Rengui. Thousands of ordinary light cavalry died in their hands, but this could not change the fact that the opponent still had a large number of cavalry.
As long as the military commanders on both sides are not much different, the military advantage will be very terrifying.
Zhou Yafu and Li Guang were suppressed by the main force of infantry with high morale on the opposite side, and were forced to shrink their defense lines. Hua Xiong, Zang Ba, and Sun Guan were trapped in a tight siege. Xue Rengui fought fiercely with Yang Ye, who had the advantage in troops.
All this was caused by Xiang Yan beating the drum for the second time, which greatly boosted the morale of the Xuzhou coalition forces!
All hope remains is the combination of Hua Mulan and Zhao Yun!
As long as Hua Mulan and Zhao Yun can defeat the cavalry on the opposite right wing and Song Jiang who reinforces the cavalry on the right wing, they may be able to turn defeat into victory.
"I underestimated Xiang Yan, but how could his ability be so strong? Even Zhou Yafu and Li Guang's combination of one defense and one offense would be hated... Although he has a military advantage, I have Xiliu Camp and
Shooting Sound Camp.”
Chu Tian faced an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, but his head was very clear.
The only things he can rely on now are the cavalry on Hua Mulan and Zhao Yun's side, and the last reserve force - Lu Zhi's 8,000 men.
Chutian never dared to send the last reserve team into battle because the Danyang soldiers of the Xuzhou Allied Forces had not yet finished their battle.
"Our army only has a 20-30% chance of winning this battle. Where did the flaw occur?"
Even Fang Xuanling could not understand why the Xuzhou coalition forces could unleash such a powerful fighting force.
To be continued...
