Chapter 232 The battle that determines the ownership of Xuzhou(2/2)
South of the Yellow River, a battle involving more than 30,000 cavalrymen is already a rare battle!
The Archers of the Tang Dynasty were at the front, shooting arrows with their horned bows. Hundreds of Xuzhou light cavalry were hit by arrows and fell from their horses. They were trampled to pieces by the horses following behind!
The Tang sword was drawn out, and the two cavalrymen clashed. Xue Rengui swung Fang Tian's painted halberd, killing more than ten cavalrymen in formation, and tore a hole in Yang Ye's cavalry!
Yang Ye also led his troops to break through Xue Rengui's cavalry!
However, Yang Ye had a hard time fighting against Xue Rengui's Tang cavalry. The cavalry's bright Tang sword hit Yang Ye's armor, almost injuring Yang Ye.
The sixth-level light cavalry, coupled with the armor-breaking ability of Xue Rengui's cavalry, made Yang Ye not feel so comfortable.
On the other side, Hua Mulan held a horse spear and broke into the enemy formation, which had almost four times the number of people as her own. Followed by Iron Eagle scouts, she drove straight in. The situation was better than Xue Rengui's side.
The enemy generals she faced were ordinary gold-level cavalry generals, but they had more troops.
The infantry, archers, and light cavalry of both sides were fighting. Only the reserves were recharging their strength and had not yet officially entered the battlefield.
There are free players who come to the battlefield and risk their lives just to witness this large-scale battle that determines the ownership of Xuzhou.
Among the battles in the Eastern Han Dynasty so far, the number of participants in this large-scale battle may be ranked among the top ten.
The fierce battle between the two sides lasted for an hour, thousands of people were killed, and there was still no winner.
"Sixty thousand people can actually block the offensive of an army of 200,000 people, and they haven't collapsed yet. This is already incredible in itself."
"If Chu Zimou of the Langya Kingdom had an army of 200,000, it would be enough to sweep through all the places south of the Yellow River. Cao Cao might not be able to stop his troops."
The free players who were watching the battle were impressed by the strength of the Langya Kingdom's army, which could withstand three times the army without collapsing.
They came to watch the battle and could retreat on horseback at any time. Seeing the fighting power of the first lord of the Eastern Han Dynasty's army was already worth it.
"Chu Zimou is indeed difficult to deal with. It's time for us to use our trump card and send heavy cavalry to attack the opponent's left flank!"
The Xuzhou Allied Forces saw that the time was almost here, so they mobilized 1,500 heavy cavalry as the decisive force!
1,500 heavy cavalry lined up behind the infantry phalanx. All the cavalry were wearing heavy armor and their horses were armored. They held spears and launched an assault on Zhou Yafu's phalanx!
The heavy heavy cavalry was like a torrent of steel, dozens of rows deep, like waves hitting Zhou Yafu's flanks!
"The shock cavalry of the Xuzhou Allied Forces has finally been used. There are thousands of heavy cavalry. How much silver taels does it cost to build such a cavalry? One hundred thousand taels? Two hundred thousand taels?"
"The heavy cavalry is dispatched. If the Langya Kingdom's army cannot stop it, then the outcome of this battle will be decided."
Many free players watching the game gave pointers.
The 1,500 heavy cavalry were mighty, but Zhou Yafu had long known that the opponent had a heavy cavalry, and deployed chariots and archers from the Shesheng Battalion on the flanks.
When the heavy cavalry on the opposite side indeed attacked the flank, the Shesheng battalion first fired a round of armor-piercing heavy arrows, killing dozens of heavy cavalry, and then retreated backwards, revealing a formation consisting of carriages, spears, large shields and crossbows.
Car castle!
There was a look of fear on the faces of the heavy cavalry, but they could no longer stop charging or change direction.
The double-bowed crossbow fired thick and long crossbow arrows, and even the armor of the heavy cavalry was penetrated by the crossbow arrows!
The intimidating power brought by the bed crossbow is terrifying.
The defense line consisting of a forest of guns and chariot forts blocked the impact of the heavy cavalry. The shooting battalion in the rear shot the heavy cavalry on the opposite side. A bunch of heavy cavalry collided with each other, and they were turned upside down!
Some heavy cavalry still attacked the car fort, passing through the gaps in the car fort. Waiting for them at the rear were more than a dozen spears, stabbing them to death!
"It blocked the opponent's heavy cavalry."
Chu Tian secretly broke into a cold sweat, even the chariot and fort was almost completely overwhelmed by the heavy cavalry.
Fortunately, the Shesheng Battalion and Xiliu Battalion stabilized the defense line in the rear, causing a lot of damage to the opponent's heavy cavalry. The piled up corpses blocked the offensive of the heavy cavalry in the rear. This was able to block the opponent's heavy cavalry charge.
The heavy cavalry attack of the Xuzhou Allied Forces failed, so they retreated, intending to use the infantry to destroy the chariot and fort.
The bed crossbows deployed on the car forts were powerful, but the reloading speed was too slow. Facing a steady stream of infantry, they were of little use and had to rely on the infantry to fight around the car fort's defense line.
"Their heavy cavalry has failed. Let them see what real heavy cavalry is. Let Hua Xiong lead the Xiliang cavalry to destroy the enemy formation!"
The order for the Xiliang cavalry to attack reached Hua Xiong's ears through the scout cavalry, and Hua Xiong was ready to go.
"It's finally our turn to go into battle! Brothers, wait and keep charging forward!"
Hua Xiong led a thousand Xiliang cavalry out of the gap between the infantry squares, changed their formations simply, and began to launch a heavy cavalry attack on the numerous Xuzhou coalition forces!
When the Xiliang Iron Cavalry appeared on the battlefield, the focus of the entire battlefield became the galloping Xiliang Iron Cavalry!
Langya Kingdom also has a heavy cavalry force of thousands!
Moreover, these thousand heavy cavalry are different from the ordinary heavy cavalry put together by the Xuzhou coalition forces before. Just the invisible momentum of the Xiliang cavalry makes people aware of the gap between the two heavy cavalry!
"How can they, a county, recruit such a large number of heavy cavalry!"
