Chapter 272 [Hanguguan Battle (Part 2)]

(Thanks to Dameng, Zhao Wuxiu 2014, ufgw, 6 holy sword muskets, fishing alone boat, everyone supports it very well)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wu Xi was dejected and returned to the central army, removed his armor and knelt under Guo Si's horse to apologize.↗At the same time, the military officer rushed to the flag and reported the damage to the war to Guo Si.

Nearly a thousand infantry soldiers died, more than 260 people were killed and more than 180 were seriously injured. Most of them were trampled on by the pursuit of the white wolf light infantry. If the cavalry had not rescued in time, the losses would have been greater. Even so, nearly half of them would have been lost, and this infantry was basically disabled.

Guo Si did not say a word, but turned over and got off the horse and walked to Wu Xi. Wu Xi was on the ground with both hands, lowered his head and said nothing, his muscles were tight, and he was ready. With his understanding of this lord, he knew that the other party was definitely not here to help him.

Sure enough, the next moment, Guo Si raised his horse whip high and thrust at Wu Xi, roaring with a hundred steps: "Bastard! I'll give you the army in vain, and I've ruined so many lives! Have you been in Jingfu for too long and even forgot how to fight?"

He roared and whipped, crackling, and whipped. Wu Xi's clothes were flying, and blood scars were shocking, but even though his whole body was twitching and sweating was raining, Wu Xi was reluctant to move. He knew this lord too well. If you resisted it, after the lord vented his anger, he would see you as a man, and he would take you as usual afterwards. This was whether you were beaten or not. But if you were cowardly, not only would you beat you harder, but you would also send you away from afar. That would be both beaten and suffer.

But this time, Guo Si was really angry - in such a short time, the loss was so great, and both were elite, it was the most miserable defeat in several years. How could he not be angry? As a result, he almost fell out of a dozen whips. If it weren't for the persuasion between the left and right, and the war was in full swing, Wu Xi might have been crippled.

Wang Chang did not see Wu Xi's tragic situation, but he would rather suffer this punishment than face the current tragic situation.

The combat power and equipment of the 500 soldiers under Xu Huang's command were similar to those of the Western Liang Army. The new weapons of the White Wolf Army would not be equipped with troops other than the White Wolf Army. If all the new army was equipped with new weapons, not only would the pressure in the Liaodong base increase greatly, but once the new army changed, they would suffer the consequences. If the new army wanted to obtain new weapons, only by truly integrating into the White Wolf Army, its standard was to send Liaodong training. No matter how brave the training was, no matter how good the combat was or how good the military achievements were, they would not become members of the White Wolf Army. Of course, senior generals like Xu Huang with high trust were different.

To some extent, Ma Han's actions also made "training in Liaoning" a benefit and advancement shortcut that the new soldiers under his command yearned for.

When the combat strength and equipment of Luoyang Xinjun and Xiliang Army were similar, the number of people became the decisive factor. One thousand Xiliang Army should have the upper hand against the 500 Xinjun. However, for a while, the Xiliang Army could not defeat the new army, and even could not resist it. The reason is very simple. The two armies fought against each other. The decisive factor that was more important than the number of people was: morale.

The defeat of Wu Xi's right-wing army seriously affected Wang Chang's left-wing army's morale, the army was shaken and the formation was unstable. If the new army had not had obvious few troops, I was afraid that a few shocks would have defeated Wang Chang's army.

Xu Huang's new army only caused trouble to Wang Chang. What really made Wang Chang feel the word "miserable" was Zhou Cang's axe-rack heavy infantry.

Zhou Cang's white wolf axe hammer soldiers had only a hundred people. When they came over from the flank with heavy steps, all the Xiliang soldiers had only one feeling, that was not one hundred people, but one hundred beasts.

Zhou Cang was also wearing heavy armor, holding a big sword in his hand, rushed towards him first, and raised his sword to slash him. The soldiers behind him were covered with armor, and his eyes were exposed. They all shouted dullly, and raised an axe to land a hammer.

Bang bang bang bang bang! This is the sound of a wooden shield bursting.

Cranky Ping Pong! This is the sound of a broken weapon.

Duang! This is the sound of heavy objects hitting the body.

Puff—Ao—This is the gushing sound of vomiting blood, teeth and internal organs, and the short howl of death.

If you meet, those who block the face will be covered with filth. Those who get in the middle will be injured. If the injury is not in the place, you will be killed on the spot.

The Xiliang Army fought with the new army for a moment, but only 40 or 50 casualties were killed or 50. As soon as they fought with the Axe and Mason soldiers, more than 50 casualties were killed or injured.

Wang Chang almost jumped up and immediately dispatched a team of personal guards beside him to rush forward to resist.

This team of entourages are the most brave and fierce soldiers in the Xiliang army. Ninety-most of them are Qiang and Hu soldiers who have experienced wars of all kinds and big. They have very rich fighting experience and have always been Wang Chang's firefighting team. They are sent wherever there is danger. Usually, people are extinguished by the "fire", but this time they are burning their bodies.

The elite Qiang and Hu soldiers were indeed extraordinary. As soon as they rushed to the side of the formation, swords and halberds all came out, and at least most of them hit the axe and hammer soldiers first. But the tragic thing was that they could not cut... half an inch thick iron plate, a total of sixteen pieces from top to bottom, protected the two shoulders, chest, abdomen, inseam and other important parts of the axe and hammer soldiers. The mistake was not the same big axe and hammer, otherwise they would not be able to hurt such heavy armored soldiers at all. Ordinary ring-headed swords, spears, and spears, and pricks, and even scratching them.

The Qiang and Hu snorted in horror, "The axe and hammer soldiers are not moved, you just slash, I will fall into axe and hammer. For a moment, my brain shattered, and blood is like a basin. A whole team of elite Xiliang soldiers disappeared in the blink of an eye. Wang Chang looked from afar, his chest was stuffy, his ears roared, and he was deaf for a moment. At this time, he saw a whistle with a small flag on his back running over sweat, and he pointed to the ground on one knee, pointed his arm west, and said something loudly.

Wang Chang's ears were buzzing, and he could not hear anything, but a bad premonition made him step on the ox cart and look in the direction of the flag outpost. The two hundred white wolf light infantry who were originally chasing Wu Xi's defeated soldiers had already returned victoriously and attacked from the rear of the formation.

"It's over..." Wang Chang's eyes turned dark, his body shook, and he fell from the car.

The left and right infantry formation of the Western Liang Army has been completed, so what about the cavalry?

The reason why Li Jue failed to retreat was because he was unwilling to accept it! He was unwilling to be implicated by the defeat of his friendly forces and eventually returned in vain. Seeing the strength of the White Wolf Army's infantry, he no longer hoped to defeat Ma Han in front of his battle, but instead bet all his hopes on the cavalry. Use infantry to attract the White Wolf Army and use cavalry to break through. This is Li Jue's plan.

Li Jue handed over this important task of assault to his nephew Li Xian, and sent his eldest son Li Shi to the battlefield as Li Xian's deputy. Unfortunately, Li Li is dead, otherwise this nephew he valued most would be the best candidate for the assault chief. Li Jue handed over three hundred cavalry to his nephew. He only left one hundred cavalry and hundreds of auxiliary soldiers to his guards, and he had already sacrificed his life. If he didn't succeed, he would... well, he would never be able to do anything. At worst, he would come back next time.

Every war is a big gamble, which is a bet or a bet. Li Jue has bet many times, and there are both losses and losses. He counterattacked Chang'an, but he was not sure in advance, but he still won. So what happened this time?

The sound of hooves and thunder was like a sudden shooting of arrows, the target was - the White Wolf Central Army, the Horse Warrior.

As soon as Li Xian and Li Shi three hundred cavalrymen came out, the White Wolf Army swam on both sides of the wolf's side and immediately moved, the left side of the flying horse was on the alert, and the right side of the flying horse drove the horse to fight.

At the same time, Guo Si also received a request from Li Jue and sent 300 cavalry to assist from the right.

The Xiliang Army had six hundred light cavalry on the left and right. It was like two sharp arrows, penetrated directly into the White Wolf's Central Army.

Three hundred wolf-fanged flying cavalry, divided into two, and bravely faced the six hundred Xiliang cavalry.

When nearly a thousand riders rolled up smoke and dust in the sky, like four sharp arrows, rushing into a hundred steps, and about to collide head-on, the wolf-toothed flying riders on both sides suddenly turned around and drew two and a half arcs. The knights raised their bows and pointed their fingers at the same time.

Tight and tense! Swish and swish!

The sky was filled with arrows, and the cavalry of Xiliang who rushed to the front were all hit by arrows. The saddle fell off, and many war horses that were caught robbing the ground. The heavy horse bodies slid forward several feet with inertia, causing smoke and dust to roll. For a moment, the people and horses cried out and resounded throughout the battlefield.

Li Jue and Guo Si looked behind the formation, almost gritting their teeth, and at the same time, an indescribable horror appeared in their hearts - the White Wolf Army's crossbow was really terrible, and the long-range killing of the infantry was amazing enough. Not to mention, even the cavalry bows and arrows were equally terrible. What scared them even more was the unknown. The strong crossbows of the infantry can be attributed to the Liaodong people mastering the manufacturing technology of the Great Yellow Power Crossbow, but the cavalry's strong bows of a hundred-step were weapons that even the Han Dynasty did not have!

The Xiliang cavalry also wanted to fight back, so they tried their best to charge and try to get closer. But the opponent ignored this, made a big bend, shot and walked, always staying at about seventy or eighty steps. Except for a few archers with strong arm strength and bow strength, most of them only had to fight back and had no power to fight back.

"No! Don't pay attention to these cowards. Our target is the Central Army, the Great Sword, and the Mars!" Li Xian suddenly realized that his cavalry was being led by his opponent to the northeast. Before he knew it, he had deviated from the target and screamed in shock.

When Li Xian and Li Shi finally gathered his cavalry and sprinted towards the target again, he realized that he had lost fifty or sixty cavalry in just a while. Fortunately, they were less than 200 steps away from the target.

On the earth platform, Ma Han waved his hand and said lightly: "The heavy cavalry was wearing armor and broke through the right-wing Li Jue cavalry; the light cavalry sent out two hundred cavalry to assist the left-wing wolf-fang flying cavalry and attacked the Guo Si cavalry."

If it is not a frontal battle, but a guerrilla warfare, three hundred wolf-fanged flying cavalry will be enough to kill 600 Xiliang cavalry, and its own losses will be minimal. However, the advantage of the wolf-fanged flying cavalry is to lure the enemy rather than block the enemy. The real blocking of the enemy, or the main force to defeat the enemy is the heavy cavalry.

With the help of two hundred auxiliary soldiers, one hundred cavalrymen wore horse armor and horses, took over maces, long spears, iron meteors and other heavy weapons. After putting together the armor, they all raised their troops to pay salute to the commander Ma Han on the earth platform.

Ma Han's eyes were bright and he nodded to respond.

One by one, the deer fort was moved away, hundreds of cavalry galloped and thundered, the iron armor was clanging, the people were like tigers, and the horses were like dragons, and they ran out of the central army along the wide avenue and rushed towards Li Jue's Western Liang army. Before that, two hundred light cavalry had already rushed towards Guo Si's army.

When the White Wolf Heavy Cavalry appeared in front of the formation, the soldiers of Li Jue, who were aware of the goods, shouted in horror: "It's a heavy armored iron cavalry! Heavy armored iron cavalry that cannot be penetrated by a knife and arrow!"

When the horse man made his first appearance, he led heavy cavalry to attack Li Jue's central army camp at night, defeated it in one fell swoop, and burned the camps in a fire, which impressed the Western Liang army, especially Li Jue's army. Now that he saw the heavy cavalry again, he was shocked and was already scared before he could get on the battle.

The two brothers Li Xian and Li Shi did not expect that they would win the jackpot and meet the legendary heavy armored iron cavalry. There was no way, so they could only harden their teeth!

The two armies were one east and one west, and hundreds of cavalry rushed wildly, colliding at high speed, instantly stirring up blood rain.

When a light cavalry encounters a heavy cavalry, it is a one-sided massacre country. If a light cavalry is a sharp arrow, then a heavy cavalry is a giant hammer. There is no suspense when the hammer and arrow collide, the arrow will break and the hammer will be in a state of stagnation.

The hundreds of cavalry were heavily armored, swinging like the wind, and rushing into the formation, like a bamboo shoot, and chiseling through the Xiliang cavalry formation, leaving behind a large pool of flesh and blood behind.

With just one hedge, Li Xian was injured in his arm and Li Shi fell off his horse. In the chaos, the eldest son could not be found.

Dangdangdang! The sound of the stern sound was loud. Li Jue finally understood that if he lost his bet, he would probably lose his old fortune to make a comeback.

Li Jue withdrew his troops, and of course Guo Si did not dare to hold on alone, and he also called out the gold and retreated his troops.

"The Xiliang Army was defeated." Ma Han looked relaxed, turned his neck and made a clamor, "It seems that there is no need for me to take action in person."

Jia Xu sighed and shook his head, just as he was about to say something, his eyes suddenly froze. He looked at the Lin Jingqi that suddenly appeared in the west, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Li Jue, Guo Si is finished."

Ma Han rose up and laughed: "Yes, they're done."

To the west is the retreat of the Xiliang army. It should have been Zhang Ji, but the flag like a forest was written with one word - Horse.

This horse is not that horse. In the world, in addition to the Liaodong Tianma, there is also a Xiliang fierce horse.

Two horses run together and attack from the east and west, this is the real battle. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
