Chapter 230 Fierce fight

Sima used the fastest speed to rectify the chaotic middle-aged soldiers and retreated the frightened cattle and horses to the back, ready to resist the enemy cavalry that broke through his left wing at any time. All infantry pressed directly on, covered the front with door panels, protected the longbow to approach the enemy's formation, and then gave the enemy a shooting and killing strike. All arrangements were stopped and the attack was ordered again.

At the same time, while his left wing was impacted by the enemy cavalry, he launched his right wing and attacked the left wing cavalry that protected the enemy's central army.

Ten thousand of the right-wing cavalry of Zhongshan who had long been eager to kill the enemy, received the general order and immediately released their enthusiasm for war. They shouted and rushed towards Zhao Wuji's military formation with their superior forces. After Zhao Wuji released all the crossbow arrows, the two sides killed each other. For a moment, the shouts of killing were loud, and the two sides were inseparable from each other.

Two hours passed, and the soldiers on both sides were killed and injured and exhausted. But at this time, the first thing that collapsed was Zhongshan’s left wing defense line. Under the attack of Zhao Xing’s army’s advantageous number and absolute superior equipment, Kurarao penetrated the enemy’s cavalry’s defense line and opened the hole. Then he led the soldiers without hesitation and rushed towards the enemy’s central infantry.

At this time, Zhao Xing also saw the situation on the battlefield clearly and immediately ordered Jun Qiushi beside him: "Lead the team to turn around and entangle the enemy's cavalry."

This was Zhao Xing's order, the only range that could be conveyed. So Zhao Xing's cavalry was immediately divided into two, one followed the Lord and fought with the remaining cavalry of the enemy. The other, under the leadership of Kurara, fought against the chariots sent by Simali urgently. The two sides were completely entangled, and the entire battlefield became tragic and chaotic.

On the road between Danqiu and Zuo Ren, a torrent of steel was flying. Zhao She and Le Yi rode on the rushing war horse, galloping while discussing.

"According to the night of the report, Simali's entire army was dispatched, leaving only less than 3,000 defenders to defend the city. Therefore, I will lead my 15,000 soldiers to attack the city. You will lead your soldiers to penetrate between Simali and the left man, and at the same time I will isolate Simali and divide his troops back to help, while helping the eldest brother." Zhao She ordered the third brother.

Le Yi believes that this method is feasible: "Our brothers have taken advantage of the elder brother, so don't make it true. This method is safe, just do it."

Then he yelled at the soldiers behind him: "Follow me." So, the torrent of steel immediately divided into two streams, one continued to rush behind the left man, and the other was slantingly stinging the field battle.

The soldiers led by Zhao Xing, with the five hundred Junqiu Shi as the core, were really a tiger going down the mountain. They chopped with their knives, hit their bodies, and collided with war horses. The Zhongshan cavalry had no power to fight back. They could only use their flesh and blood to restrain this part of the enemy and prevent them from quickly joining the power to attack their central army.

Kurara rushed towards the enemy's central army, and the first one to hit was the battle chariot convoy that was stripped out to block their war chariots.

Simali took advantage of the situation and surrounded the chariot dragged by a cattle, while the chariot pulled by a war horse became an active fortress to deal with the enemy.

This time, Zhao Xing's cavalry once again showed the flexible maneuverability of the cavalry against the combat chariot. They hung up the ring-hand knife, picked up the crossbow again, and began to carry out cavalry shooting around the bulky chariot. Although the enemy archers on the chariot also shot their accurate arrows, there were only a few such chariots, less than 100. Under the 5,000 crossbows of Kuraliang, they were wiped out in an instant.

Then they began to attack the guard wall made of ox carts and began to run around, but they were also shot by enemy infantry archers hiding behind the chariots. After all, the shooting distance of the cavalry crossbow was not as far away as that of the infantry bow, and Kurara's subordinates suffered casualties.

Kurara made a quick decision and loudly ordered to the two brigade coaches under his jurisdiction: "Give up the attack on the chariot, divide the left and right, and unfold the Eight Banners Cavalry and Shooting Formation."

The two brigade commanders immediately received the order loudly and led their soldiers to launch cavalry and shooting attacks around Simali's central army.

At this time, Zhao Xing also solved the remaining enemies and joined the central cavalry to shoot at Simali.

More than 10,000 cavalry roared around Simali's central army and launched their cavalry and shooting techniques. For a moment, countless crossbow arrows shot at the enemy's infantry, leaving Zhongshan's infantry passively to be beaten, but there was no chance to fight back.

When Simali saw this, he hurriedly uttered the flag words and mobilized the right-wing cavalry who were entangled with Zhao Wuji to return to the rescue, and used the remaining cavalry to block the enemy's redirection.

How could Zhao Wuji let them go? He roared wildly, chased them reluctantly, and continued to entangle with the enemy.

Zhao Xing also divided some troops to face the enemy. In a blink of an eye, another battlefield was formed outside Simali's central army.

Seeing this situation, Xu Jie gritted his teeth and directly ordered the Paoxi Army to advance instead of retreating, and to press forward the entire army and use all the weapons that can be fired to smash the javelin stones at the enemy's central army like hail and rain.

Simali regretted it very much, regretting that he underestimated the enemy at that time. But in fact, it was not entirely his fault. After he decided to consolidate the army and take advantage of the enemy's main force to divide the troops and gain an absolute advantage, he destroyed Zhao Xing's main force first. Then the war in the north will end successfully.

In this era, the outcome of the war is based on the number of participants on both sides. The number of people participating in the war is small, and the number of people is rare after all.

As soon as his decision was made, of course no subordinate opposed it. Even if it was a reminder, the whole army would whistle and respond. Because they were as proud as Simali and underestimated the enemy.

This emotion began when their helping elders defeated the Yan Kingdom of Wancheng and captured their thirty cities. They no longer took the Wancheng Kingdom of surrounding them seriously, and they would not take a small lord of Zhao Kingdom seriously.

As a result, they really didn't expect that the enemy's Poxi Army would be so difficult, with such high technology, and such excellent equipment. They didn't expect that their proud cavalry would have almost no power to fight back when facing Zhao Xing's cavalry. Their equipment simply made all the soldiers helpless with them.

And the formation they showed in front of them now was so unheard of, making them unable to deal with it.

What made him even more profound was that Zhao Xing's cavalry simply subverted the understanding of cavalry in this world. He was a new military, a military that was born with a new formation. It was simply unpredictable in this era. Yes, it was a confusing military.

After failure, Simali had already realized the reality, so he used his decisiveness as a famous general. The remaining chariots were behind him, and he rushed to the left, turned his head, attacked Zuo Rencheng, and retreated to Zuo Rencheng. Next time, he would defend the city wall at all costs.

But when he turned, Simali discovered a situation that had cost him his life. Before he knew it, he was too far away from his back and relying on Zuo Rencheng. When a new vital force from the enemy rushed over, he easily penetrated between himself and Zuo Rencheng. If he wanted to return to his lair, he had to launch a full-strength attack. The war had been completely reversed.

Just as he was about to give his all and retreat to Zuo Ren, the banner of Zhongshan was cut down on the top of Zuo Ren's city, and the flag of Zhao was flying high.
