More than 1,500 Chu cavalry obeyed the generals of Lu Shizhou, raised their weapons and rushed out from the side of the army, and rushed towards the direction of the battle group... Although the Chu State's war horses were also relatively scarce and the number of cavalry was limited, Lu Shizhou could only try to change his style of fighting and do his best to save the situation.

When the Chu cavalry tried to raid from the flanks, they undoubtedly had to try to attack the weak points of the enemy's army formation. As long as they could tear apart the Wei army's infringement formation to disrupt the enemy's formation as much as possible.

However, Silver Spear Xiaojiedu reacted very quickly. The soldiers on the left side of the stairs looked like iron and their eyes were like swords. Seeing the enemy cavalry galloping and rushing toward each other, they did not see any panic at all. The soldiers arranged neatly, with the generals shouting, raised their guns like a forest, and soon formed a defensive gun array. The layers of lines were well-organized, and they would not give the enemy any chance to enter in neatly.

So when the Chu cavalry who were galloping at the horse arrived, they were frightened to find that the densely packed sharp spears were already ready for battle... The people and horses hit the front of the formation, but were instantly driven by more than a dozen spears and horses.

Although with the inertia of the war horses rushing into the gun array arranged by the Yin Gun Jiedu infantry, the fierce impact and crisp sounds of bone shattering suddenly rose one after another. Although some Wei army infantry were hit, their mouths were sprayed with blood, and their bodies flew backwards... But most of the other sharp men could stabilize their positions and stabbed the Chu cavalry who were trapped in the front line to death!

The horse soldiers lined up behind the cavalry formation stared blankly as they watched their colleagues in front of them being stabbed by the Wei Dynasty spearmen. Countless blood holes were poked out of their bodies, and they became corpses lying on the ground... They realized that if they insisted on urging the horse to hit the formation, they would undoubtedly have the same consequence.

However, when the remaining cavalry of the Chu army were frightened, they heard a burst of rushing horse hooves into their ears... Although the army led by Liu Ci was mainly composed of infantry in the silver spear, there were several cavalry units that had been accumulated for a long time, but when the commander of the leader general swept towards the Chu cavalry like a flood breaking the dike!

The combat power of the Wei Dynasty cavalry was generally more brave than the cavalry of the Chu army. The sharp cavalry soldiers who took advantage of the situation were even more like dragons and horses like tigers, like countless arrows moving forward, completely submerging the loose Chu horse army. Blood splashed and scattered in the air, and the Chu army's cavalry kept falling and dying in the terrifying cry, leaving behind a group of uninhabited horses running wildly, and in a moment they ran a long distance.

Only dozens of blood-filled cavalry were left, urging their horses to flee back to their original formation in panic. The infantry array, which struggled to resist the attack of Silver Spear and Effect, was already shaking, afraid that the enemy might kill them at any time, and the array completely collapsed... Looking at the noisy and tragic battlefield ahead, Lu Shizhou couldn't help but show a look of defeat and discouragement in his eyes, and he also said with hatred:

"It seems that this battle is destined to be unable to stop the enemy's invasion to the south... This is just a group of Wei troops. If the rest of the troops arrive, I am afraid that all the troops under my command will be discontinued here... Mingjin ordered to retreat immediately!"

A head-on confrontation between Wei and Chu in the territory of Langzhou ended with defeat in the defender... Lu Shizhou led the remaining troops to return to the capital of Wuling in a hurry, and the Wei army continued to move south. In a few days, they successively captured Taoyuan, Chenyang, Yuanjiang and other counties. There were also the Wei army's light cavalry scouts who had entered the territory of Yiyang and Xiangyin counties under the rule of Tanzhou. It was only a few dozen miles away from Changsha Prefecture, the capital of Chu State...

He was soon surrounded by enemy troops, and there was already a miserable mist in Wuling City. Tens of thousands of defenders were also in a negative and panic mood.

After two or three days of the following situation, Lu Shizhou mobilized civil servants, and there were densely packed staff in Wuling City to transport soil and stones to strengthen the city defense. Until the guards on the city gate tower shouted loudly to warn, the soldiers busy in front and behind near the city wall were in a mess, and they immediately fell into panic.

As the endless sound of horns continued to sound, a group of horse and infantry soldiers appeared on the plain east of Wuling City, and then appeared in the vision of the defenders above the city wall... The crowds of people were surging, but there was no confusion as the troops marched. The Wei Dynasty army finally killed the city of Wuling, and the soldiers in their respective troops were all excited and murderous intent in their eyes.

Soon, at the center of the military formation gathered outside Wuling City, Liu Ci looked at the outline of the city wall in the distance, slowly pulled out his sword, and then slashed forward and the soldiers gathered around him suddenly burst out with shouts of killing like landslides and cracks!

Several infantry phalanxes that had been waiting for the battle had long been driven towards Wuling City, and the back formation also sounded neat and loud trumpets. Accompanied by the extremely rhythmic commands, many siege equipment began to slowly move forward under the control of the soldiers of the teams.

On the other hand, when the east gate of Wuling City, Xu Dexun, Lu Shizhou, Xu Qiong and other Chu generals heard the urgent report that the Wei army had arrived in Wuling and quickly assembled the army formation and were ready to launch an attack... They also rushed over and rushed to the city gate tower.

Xu Dexun's face was gloomy, and when he stared at the Wei Dynasty infantry swarming under the city, he could clearly feel the panic and uneasiness revealed by the soldiers around him... And Lu Shizhou stood beside him, unable to help but feel ashamed, and said to Xu Dexun with his head down:

"The last general was ashamed of being imprisoned by the right prime minister, but failed to stop the enemy's army in the northern corner of Langzhou... The crime of defeat in the war is unforgivable."

"It is said that generals cannot fight without soldiers, but our Chu State's military strength is not as strong as the Wei Dynasty, which has a large number of soldiers and a wide range of generals. What's more, the Wei people have all the advantages and the momentum is huge, but our army is depressed and depressed. We should not just retreat and defend to the death. We have to try to lead our troops to block the attack. This is already difficult for you... In this situation, I am just struggling to support you, so how can I punish you for your crime?"

Xu Dexun sighed and suddenly gave an order. Above the city wall, the gazes of the defenders of various units immediately raised their eyes. Seeing Xu Dexun slowly raised his right arm, waiting for his arm to swing, the archers gathered on the city wall would pull their bows and shoot arrows, and pour a rain of arrows towards the enemy troops that were constantly approaching under the city.

"The generals and officials of all departments shall be dispatched as they were previously dispatched to guard the city gates. They shall be prepared to guard the equipment immediately. Without my orders, they shall not act rashly!"

Xu Dexun repeatedly called orders, and saw the vanguard of the Wei army's siege coming, like black ants, approaching the walls of Wuling County... His eyes suddenly rose, and his raised right arm finally waved his fiercely, and a roar like thunder erupted, immediately resounded across the city:

"Shoot the arrow!"

A series of powerful sounds of bowstrings suddenly erupted, and a tent arrow flew across the air like a dense rain, and then piled up towards the approaching enemy troops. The marching Wei infantry also set up shields to block them. Although some soldiers still fell down wailingly, they at least offset the damage caused by most of the arrow rain.

Under the cover of his colleagues, the archers of the Wei army moved forward quickly and soon lined up to fight back to the defenders above the city. Seeing that the Wuling offensive and defensive battle had begun, Liu Ci looked back at his leisure, his eyes flashed over dozens of siege equipment moving forward from behind, and he ordered loudly:

"I have been very supportive of the infantry that pounced on the city. Since Your Majesty issued an edict to our army, Xu Dexun, the right prime minister of Chu who guarded Wuling, attacked and persuaded surrender... Our army's attack on the city is indeed great, but we don't have to spare no effort to try to capture the city gate as soon as possible.

After all, although the Chu army was in a state of decline, Xu Dexun still commanded tens of thousands of troops to guard Wuling. If we rely on the city to defend and resist, even if our army can seize the city gate, there will be a lot of casualties. I don’t know how long it will take... Let’s see when Xu Dexun will give up on resistance. He should know that if he holds on, he will not be able to stop our army from coming to Changsha after all..."
