The west bank of Shimen River, shouting and killing sounds shook the sky.∷∷,

Under Cheng Bushi's personal command, 10,000 Han infantry soldiers came back to the river, firmly controlling the ferry, blocking the direction of Aries King's advance. On the other side of the Shimen River, 20,000 infantry were eyeing him and ready to cross the pontoon bridge to support him at any time.

Among the generals of the border counties, Cheng Bushi was as famous as Li Guang, but his personality was completely opposite. He was extremely strict in the army and was good at defending. Although he was not favored by the soldiers, his formation was undoubtedly the most difficult to break through in the battle. He had been fighting for more than ten years and never lost.

Although he only had 10,000 invaders, he could leave the Aries King, who had 30,000 elite cavalry, helpless.

King Aries was in a dilemma. He came here to rescue King Loufan. If he could not restrain enough Han troops, it would not have any effect at all. Cheng Buzhi arranged the water and left 20,000 infantry on the east coast, clearly preparing to support Han Anguo at any time and attack King Loufan.

This was Cheng Bushi's humiliation to him. He wanted to use ten thousand steps to block his 30,000 elite cavalry.

King Aries was so angry that he ordered a continued attack. Although he knew that the Han army had obvious advantages in such a positional battle, he did not think that Cheng Buzhi could block his 30,000 elite cavalry with ten thousand steps. He wanted to break through this position and slapped Cheng Buzhi hard. If possible, he hoped to kill Cheng Buzhi in the face and let him pay the due price for his frivolity.

The Aries King ordered several thousand men to lead the headquarters and take turns to attack the Han army's positions, patiently looking for opportunities to break the formation.

The Huns rode their horses and passed by the Han army's positions like wind, shooting rain of arrows, and then drifted away. The sound of horse hooves and dust flew, and rushed towards the Han army in a row with the speeding arrows, stimulating the nerves of the Han army soldiers.

The Han army soldiers shot behind the cart, hid behind the shield, glared at the mad Huns, but had no choice but to do anything. The two-legged man could not run away from the four-legged horse. Facing the wind-like Huns, they could only hold their positions. Once they lost the protection of the formation, they would become the sword ghosts of the Huns.

Under the command of the low and powerful war drums, the Han army soldiers gritted their teeth and patiently waited for the opportunity to counterattack. The Huns were still in the dark. However, the Han army soldiers knew that this expedition was different from the past and was a rare proactive attack by the Han army in history. Standing on the position was just the beginning, not the end, and it made the Huns arrogant for a moment. When the counterattack began, they would like to look good.

This belief not only supports their patience, but also adds endless courage to them.

The sword and shield hand squat on the ground, and the spearman tightly grasped the spear and the halberd in his hand. Only the crossbowmen kept firing, but the color was resolute. For the Hun cavalry, the Han army's crossbows were the most terrifying killing weapon. Not only did the shooting range, but also had the aiming function, and the hit rate was much stronger than ordinary bows and arrows. If the bows and arrows in their hands were to work, they had to rush to the range of the Han army's crossbows and risk being shot by the Han army.

Ten thousand Han troops were equipped with 4,000 strong bows and crossbows. It was the arrows fired by these crossbows that blocked the footsteps of the Huns and stopped them before the Han army's positions. After three days of fierce fighting, the Huns lost more than 4,000 people, but they still couldn't make it.

The Han army could not catch up with the Huns, but it was difficult for the Huns to break through the Han army's blockade. The two sides could not stand stalemate, just like giant beasts that were evenly matched, peeping at each other, waiting for the opportunity to kill with one blow.

Cheng Bushi sat in the chariot of the central army, holding his eyes wide open, looking at the formation filled with smoke and dust, and looking at the Huns in the distance. There was no expression on his dark face, but the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes could not hide his loss.

He could block the Aries King and fight for the opportunity for Han Anguo, but if he did not have enough beheading, he would not have enough military achievements. He fought for his whole life and finally waited for the opportunity to counterattack. However, he still had no hope of being a marquis. This is a very cruel reality. He could tolerate and accept his fate, but what should he do if his soldiers were under his command?

Am I really not as good as Li Guang?

When Cheng Buzhi thought of Li Guang, he felt even more bitter. Li Guang had already forced the surrender to King Xiu Tu, and it was expected that he would be appointed as a marquis. Now he led another 15,000 elite cavalry to come, and he could only bear the heavy responsibility of pursuing the Huns. No matter how stable he defended, it would be useless. The final military achievements were still from Li Guang.

Cheng Buzhi sighed secretly, temporarily leaving all his feelings and depression behind, and directing the battle wholeheartedly.

This is fate!

In the smoke and dust, a fast horse ran from a distance and rushed to the left of the formation. The knight turned over and dismounted, walked through the gap between two small square formations, and quickly walked towards the central army. Someone stepped forward to pull his war horse, led it into the formation, and fed it to drink water.

Chen Anping, the chief minister beside Cheng Bushi, saw the scout and quickly reminded him: "General, there is something wrong."

Cheng Buzhi was silent, but his heart was a little nervous. He didn't know where the news came from, whether it was good or bad news. He knew very well that this was not an ordinary war. The Han army used more than 100,000 troops. Not only did the victory or defeat affect whether the Han army could regain Henan, but it was also the first war since the emperor took power, and it was not to be lost.

Li Guang was still west of Langshan, thousands of miles apart, so it was impossible for him to arrive so quickly. Could it be that the reinforcements of the Huns had arrived?

At this moment, Cheng Bushi thought a lot, and the big hand holding Cheshi made the Cheshi squeak.

Finally, the scout came to Cheng Bushi. "General, Li Guang's vanguard Liang Xiao led three thousand elite cavalry to enter the battlefield at any time..."

"What?" Cheng Buzhi interrupted the scout with a rare opportunity. "Say it again, who is here?"

The scout looked at Cheng Buzhi in surprise, and became a little scared. Cheng Buzhi was very strict in governing the army, and all the soldiers were a little afraid of him. "It's... Liang Xiao, the cavalry commander under General Li Guang, is... the young man who was named a marquis..."

"I know who Liang Xiao is." Cheng Buzhi waved his hand hard and interrupted the scout again. He was surprised and happy. "How could he come so quickly?"

The scout didn't know how to answer. How did I know how he came so quickly? Seeing this, Chen Anping turned his eyes and asked quickly: "Is it just three thousand people led by Liang Xiao?"

The scout Ru Meng woke up and shook his head quickly. "No, Commander Liang said that General Li Guang's troops had arrived, and he was just a little faster."

"How is this possible?" Chen Anping was also stunned. If only Liang Xiao arrived, there was still a reason. This young lord was famous for long-distance raids. Li Guang and others also arrived, which was not normal, or in other words, this was not good news at all, but a disaster.

The military strategy says: If you fight for profit for a hundred miles, you will be depressed. If you run a long distance, you will be exhausted. There are only 15,000 people, but the Aries King has 30,000 cavalry, and you are waiting for your hard work. Is Li Guang coming to die?

Chen Anping glanced at Cheng Buzhi. He happened to see the fear flashing in Cheng Buzhi's eyes. After a while, Cheng Buzhi said anxiously: "Notify Liang Xiao and let him..." Cheng Buzhi paused and adjusted his tone as much as possible. "The Huns' aura has not yet declined, so let him not underestimate the enemy."

"Here." The scout took the order and turned around and left.

"General, I'm afraid it's too late." A layer of fine beads of sweat emerged from Chen Anping's forehead. "We have received the news, and I'm afraid King Aries has also received the news. He will not miss this opportunity."

Cheng Buzhi was anxious and a little out of control. He slapped his big hand hard and sighed: "Li Guang..." He thought for a while, but could not hide his frustration. "Transfer another 10,000 people across the river, and the entire army was ready to fight back, and restrain the Aries King as much as possible. Immediately pass on the news to Mr. Han to avoid any mistakes."

"Here." Chen Anping knew it well. He did not dare to neglect it. He immediately arranged for someone to send messages to Han Anguo, notified the generals on the other side of the strait, and transferred another 10,000 people to cross the water to join the war, restrained the Aries King, relieved the pressure for Li Guang and Liang Xiao, and minimized casualties as much as possible.

If all Li Guang's troops were wiped out, the Han army would inevitably be severely damaged and the goal of seizing Henan would be slim.

As Cheng Buzhi expected, before him, King Aries received news of the approaching Han army.

The Aries King, who was extremely depressed by Cheng Buzhi's formation, was overjoyed. The rapid march was a severe test for the physical strength of the war horses. What kind of combat power can the Han army reach Shimenshui so quickly? Not to mention the Han army, even the Huns would not be so desperate unless they had to.

This is simply a great gift from God.

In ecstasy, the Aries King didn't have much time to consider other things, leaving behind 10,000 people to monitor Cheng Bushi, and personally led 20,000 cavalry to meet him.

Almost all the Huns were as excited as the Aries King. They had the advantage in terms of numbers and physical strength. There was no reason to be invincible in this battle. The Han army was not good at fighting, but its equipment was very good. After seizing the equipment of this 5,000 cavalry, the strength of the Aries King's tribe could reach a higher level.

With the dream of making a fortune, 20,000 Huns killed Liang Xiao.

With a first come first served idea, Xiao Wangqu, who was the striker, took the lead without waiting for the main force of Aries King to arrive, and sent two thousand-man teams to cover Liang Xiao's wings. He personally led two thousand-man teams to fight head-on, preparing to swallow Liang Xiao in one bite.

"Woo" the sound of the horn sounded, and two thousand Huns dispersed to their wings, rolling up two rays of smoke and dust, as if they were the open claws of giant beasts, and pounced on Liang Xiao.

Before the Huns attacked, Liang Xiao discovered the tactical actions of the Huns in Qianli's eyes and couldn't help but sneer. These Huns were too arrogant, and four thousand people wanted to defeat me. Do you think I came here thousands of miles away to die?

"Yanxing Formation!" Liang Xiao raised his hand and ordered loudly. "Order Gongsun Rongnu to advance. If you cannot break the formation this time, you will have no chance next time."

The messenger shook the battle flag, and the drummer beat the small drum, and the battle drum was like thunder, spreading to all directions. Soon, the sound of war drums sounded, the flags swung, and the war drums thundered. The knights jumped onto the war horses, took off their bows, picked up crossbows, drew out their swords, and laid their spears.

The speed of advancement accelerated again. The knight responsible for the cover of the two wings moved closer to the middle and spread out the formation on both sides of Liang Xiao, like an eagle gathering its wings and beginning to dive.

At the front of the team, Gongsun Rongnu jumped onto the running war horse, raised the sword in his hand, and roared fiercely.

"Add to be promoted, at this moment."

Although his roar was drowned by the sound of powerful war drums and thunderous horse hooves, his tall figure fell into the eyes of every soldier. Without words, they also knew what Gongsun Rongnu was talking about. They rode their horses and roared in unison.

"kill"--
