The war horses galloped, and the horse's hooves rumbled. Yang Qing waved his samurai sword and shouted: "Cone formation, charge!"
Like a black square formation with a positive triangle, Hu Kan rushed towards King Wu quickly. When he saw it, he was shocked and immediately ordered King Wu to say, "Create the formation!"
The soldiers were in a panic and lined up, but the time was too tight, so before they could line up, the Dark Knights had already rushed over.
"Kill!" Yang Qing waved his samurai sword, and the heavy helmets of the soldiers of the Dalian King of Wushu were cut off. The soldiers sprinkled blood and fell to the ground after turning around.
The war horses clamped their armor and knocked away the soldiers of the King of Wu in front like a high-speed train. After the war horses fell to the ground, they were immediately trampled on by the war horses behind them. They didn't breathe a long time without death.
The chaotic formation of King Wu's army was immediately pierced by the conical formation, and the Dark Knights broke through, leaving only a corpse wherever they passed.
Qian Xiaoxing was paying attention to the battlefield dynamics on the hot air balloon, and could see clearly that the Wu King's formation was in chaos and was broken through by the Dark Knights, and he couldn't help but cheer. Qian Xiaoxing shouted to Lu Shengzhong below: "Brother Zhong, the Wu King's Division has been suppressed and can carry out the second step!"
"The Dark Knights are really good, I'll inform you!" Lu Shengzhong said excitedly.
On the city wall, some soldiers of the military immediately waved the red flag and sent out a signal.
Although the Hu army infantry was attacked on both sides, the cavalry regiments only fought against the periphery, and the people's combat effectiveness was not high, so there was no problem with coping with it.
When the soldiers of the Zongheng Cavalry Regiment saw the signal, they immediately understood. The leader of the leader said: "The Dark Knights attacked the King of Wu, and we attacked ordinary infantry. We cannot embarrass the Zongheng Cavalry Regiment. Prepare the cone formation!"
The soldiers shouted, "Yes!"
The soldiers of the cavalry regiment ran away for a while, arranged a cone formation, and immediately launched a charge against the Hu army infantry.
The Hu army's infantry were all newly enlisted soldiers and had no experience in the battlefield. When they saw the cavalry of the Si army roaring from a distance, they didn't know what to do. They instinctively fled around and squeezed together, and the formation was immediately insane.
The soldiers of the cavalry regiments rushed across the Hu army's front without any effort and rushed to the crowd before stopping.
Seeing that the Hu army's infantry had no fighting spirit, the cavalry immediately and together with the people, attacked the Hu army on the whole line.
The Hu army could have withstood the attacks of the people, but after the people joined the Zongheng Cavalry Corps, the attack power increased greatly. The Hu army soldiers immediately retreated. The so-called defeat was like a mountain, and once they retreated, they could not be stopped. Whether the people had weapons or had no weapons, they rushed forward, and the crowds attacked the Hu army like tides.
The people seized weapons from the killed Hu soldiers and joined the charge team. The personnel became larger and larger, and the morale became higher and higher. On the contrary, the Hu infantry was no longer interested in fighting, abandoned their armor and fled in a panic.
Zhou Yi was by Hu Kan's side and said when he saw such a situation: "King Hu, it's not good. Our army is defeated. Let's retreat quickly, otherwise it will be too late!"
Hukan saw the black cavalry still pestering the King of Wu. He didn't expect that the black cavalry was so powerful that only two thousand people could disrupt the King of Wu and delay them, making it impossible for him to mobilize the King of Wu to deal with other enemies.
Although I was very dissatisfied when I looked at the defeated soldiers, as Zhou Yi said, it would be too late to retreat.
"Stay the green mountains without worrying about burning firewood. Retreat behind the King of Wu's Palace!" Hu Kan turned his horse's head and ran away immediately.
Suddenly, Hu Kan saw a row of cavalry in white clothes running over again in the distance. He was shocked. When Zhou Yi saw Dao, he immediately shouted: "Protect King Hu!"
The cavalry followers immediately grabbed the Hu King in the middle. The cavalry in white clothes were of course the Ye Ying regiment. How long have they been waiting here? Shi Ye Ying ordered: "Bow and arrow shooting, rush!"
The female soldiers rode their horses and shot at Hu Jun. The followers beside King Hu were all caught off guard. The followers behind immediately rushed over and blocked the bow and arrow with their bodies.
After two thousand soldiers of the Wild Sakura Order passed by Hu Jun, there were already a corpse on the ground. Hu Kan's entourage had been shot and Hu Kan was also shot with an arrow on his shoulder. He was so scared that he ran away with a whip and fled.
The clan and the people chased the Hu army for a while, drove the Hu army away before turning back. The people were already running out of breath. Seeing that the Hu army had left, they sat on the ground exhausted.
After the people were resting for a while, Si Jun said to the people: "Everyone will go to Qingyu City first to prevent the Hu army from killing him and shooting him back."
Everyone helped the injured people in the battle to walk towards Qingyu City. The city gate was densely filled with crowds. Qian Xiaoxing saw that the situation was settled on the hot air balloon, and he breathed a sigh of relief, so he pulled the hot air balloon down and returned to the ground.
The soldiers of the Si army at the gate of the city were confiscating the weapons of the people. This was Lu Shengzhong's order to prevent the Hu army from disguising among the people and being in trouble if they cooperated with the inside and outside.
After all the people entered the city, the suspension bridge of Qingyu City was pulled up again, and only countless corpses were left outside the city. There were eagles circling in the sky. Looking at the many corpses on the ground, it was undoubtedly a big meal.
Although there is enough food in the city, it has to be cooked for more than 100,000 people, and the workload is also very high. However, the people in Qingyu City have helped to cook at their own homes. Soon after, they finally cooked a large amount of porridge for these people to eat.
Qian Xiaoxing was also hungry and drank porridge in a whisper. Seeing Lu Shengzhong coming over, he immediately served him a bowl and said, "This porridge is delicious, Brother Zhong."
Lu Shengzhong was not polite, and said while eating: "Hu Jun lost more than 20,000 yuan in this battle, and we won another big victory."
"We also rely on the people's help, otherwise the damage will be very big. By the way, how many casualties will we have?" Qian Xiaoxing asked with a lower bowl.
Lu Shengzhong said relaxedly: "Not many, only the Zongheng Cavalry Regiment died more than 500 and injured more than a thousand people. For the 10,000 cavalry units, the loss was already very low."
"Oh, how many people have died?" Qian Xiaoxing felt heavy when he thought of this.
"After counting, there were about 20,000 people drowned," Lu Shengzhong also looked depressed when he said this.
Qian Xiaoxing sighed, "So many...the weather is hot, let's bury the bodies outside the city later."
Lu Shengzhong nodded and asked again: "The Hu army has retreated for the time being, but if they still move south of Lanjiang, they may make some achievements. We should still be careful to deal with it."
"Yes, they can't be allowed to run around south of Lanjiang. They must drive them to the north of Jiangbei. If it weren't for the people this time, I would have ordered the pursuit and drove them back in one breath." Qian Xiaoxing said.
Lu Shengzhong looked at the crowd of people sitting in the city and said, "Yes, if they don't go back, these people can only stay in Qingyun City. It's a problem to have no place to live. I have sent someone to stare at the Hu army. If they don't go back to Jiangbei, they will send troops to attack tomorrow."
Qian Xiaoxing agreed: "Okay, I looked at the hot air balloon. Except for the King Wu Division, these Hu soldiers are not very combat-effective. They are probably all new recruits. We have more than 50,000 troops, which is enough to deal with them."
Lu Shengzhong recalled that the Hu State had sent troops to attack Si State for the fourth time. The first time Hu Baojin led 80,000 people to attack Panlong Pass, but the entire army was wiped out. The second time Sima Yiqing sent 70,000 people to attack Cangqiong Pass, but more than 37,000 people were recruited. The third time Peng Guangyi and Meng Zhong Zhan sent 75,000 people, except for 15,000 prisoners, the rest were destroyed.
