Chapter 100 No Way Out
Before Tian Yan could give the order.
After leaving behind about 10,000 reserve troops, the remaining 30,000 Xianbei cavalry were the first to react, scattering in all directions and advancing in a dark mass.
They did not directly engage in combat with the Han army.
As soon as they got close to the Han army formation, they spread out from both sides like flowing water, and at the same time, they drew their bows and nocked arrows, hurling them at the Han army formation!
Thirty thousand cavalrymen all drew their bows and nocked their arrows.
Fire the arrows!
In a short time.
Arrows blotted out the sky as they hurtled towards the Han army's formation!
After all, they have been rivals for many years.
The Han army had already raised their large shields the moment the Xianbei cavalry began to move.
now.
Arrows rained down on the great shield with a clanging sound!
Han army Shen.
Those with slightly weaker physical strength could not withstand the impact of the large shield and their arms went numb within moments, causing the shield to shift slightly.
Feathered arrows and bone arrows then pierced through the crack!
In a short time.
The Han army's formation, whose movement speed was far inferior to that of the Xianbei cavalry, could only passively take hits, and cries of agony echoed through the ranks.
It finally stopped after a long time!
Under such circumstances.
The banners of the Han army finally moved.
Clusters of messengers, bending down to transmit information.
It's like a turn-based game!
Remove the large shield!
Countless archers and crossbowmen fired at the Xianbei cavalry in front!
There was no large shield to protect them.
The Xianbei cavalrymen were exceptionally vulnerable, and many fell off their horses!
Cries of agony and screams of pain filled the air!
This single volley by the Han army brought down nearly a thousand Xianbei cavalrymen!
Just as this group of Xianbei cavalry was attempting to evade the battle formation and spread out to both sides...
Gongsun Yu, who led over ten thousand cavalry, led two thousand Han cavalry, six thousand elite Wuhuan cavalry, and five thousand mixed Hu cavalry, and marched forward to meet them head-on.
They charged straight into the Xianbei cavalry.
With about 10,000 cavalry, they managed to entangle the Xianbei cavalry, which numbered a full 30,000.
As for Lü Ping, who led the remaining two thousand elite Han cavalry, he merely followed behind the cavalry formation, maintaining a distance at all times, and did not truly get involved in the war.
It was clear that these Xianbei cavalrymen no longer had the ability to launch large-scale projectiles.
In the center of the Han army formation, Tian Yan drew his sword and pointed it directly at the Xianbei king, Tan Shihuai, who was being protected by more than 10,000 cavalrymen on the small hill.
"go ahead!"
"go ahead!"
The messengers shouted in unison!
The banners of the Han army were once again fluttering in the wind.
The sound of drums immediately resounded.
The Han army's great formation finally moved.
The heavily armored soldiers and heavy shields slowly advanced forward.
Two hundred steps!
One hundred and eighty steps!
The distance between the two sides is closing.
As they approached the Xianbei cavalrymen they had previously shot down, the Han soldiers did not forget to cut off their heads.
Take off the ears and hang them on your waist.
Seeing this scene.
At the sandalwood tree on the hill, He Lian, who had just returned, approached anxiously and whispered his grievances.
"king!"
"The Han Chinese army is charging towards us. Should we temporarily retreat and avoid their advance?"
Tan Shihuai gave him a cold look and lashed his face with a whip.
"idiot!"
"This lash is a reward for you!"
"If I retreat, how can the three commanders below be motivated to fight for me?"
"Do you believe that the moment my banner falls, those tribal leaders below will dare to lead their armies in a rout?!"
"and."
Tan Shihuai paused for a moment, his face full of coldness.
"How can a king retreat?"
He covered the red mark on his face, not daring to utter a word of protest, but simply bowed and agreed, retreating repeatedly.
Tan Shihuai turned his gaze forward again.
A moment of silence.
Tan Shihuai also uttered two words.
"go ahead!"
With this command given.
The more than 10,000 cavalry gathered below split into 5,000 smaller cavalry units, which charged toward the Han Chinese army formation ahead.
They did not seek to kill the enemy, but only wanted to harass the Han army's formation and delay their advance.
now.
Only five thousand cavalrymen remained surrounding the hill.
I witnessed this scene.
Lu Ping, who was serving under Gongsun Yu, sneered and exchanged a glance with Gongsun Yu from afar in the army formation. The two nodded in tacit agreement.
He then led his army directly, taking his two thousand elite Han cavalrymen, and broke away from the battle formation, circling around at a distance before charging towards the small hill.
The Han cavalry, which was already barely holding on due to a shortage of manpower, began to falter after Lü Ping and others were withdrawn.
It was only under the oppressive aura of Gongsun Yu that he managed to hold on.
Lu Ping had just left.
Immediately afterward, several thousand Xianbei cavalrymen, sensing something was amiss, set aside to block Lü Ping's path.
More than four thousand Xianbei cavalrymen, led by the Xianbei Western Chieftain.
They managed to block Lü Ping's path.
Facing cavalry twice his size, Lü Ping remained expressionless and did not slow down, only calling out softly.
"Fengxian".
"Kill them all!"
Lu Bu, who had been protecting Lu Ping, laughed loudly, rode forward on his horse, took a long spear, and led the cavalry at the very front.
Two thousand elite Han cavalry charged suicidally at four thousand Xianbei cavalry!
Like a sharp blade striking a chopping board!
boom!
Countless cavalrymen flew out in an instant!
The two thousand cavalrymen, who should have stopped, instead fought their way through under Lü Bu's leadership, disregarding casualties and slowing down, and charged straight ahead!
two thousand!
1500!
at last.
This elite Han army charged out of the Xianbei cavalry that had been used as a chopping block and was trying to slow them down!
even.
Covered in blood, Lü Bu was now holding a large, familiar-looking severed head high in his hand!
It was that great man from the western Xianbei!
The moment they saw the severed head, countless Xianbei cavalrymen who had wanted to step forward to stop them instantly lost their will to fight!
It collapsed to both sides.
Led by Lü Ping, the Han cavalry charged toward the hill once again!
only...
At this point, only a little over a thousand of the elite Han cavalry could keep up. Lü Ping was getting closer and closer to the hill.
One hundred and fifty steps!
One hundred and thirty steps!
But... nevertheless.
At that small hill, there remained five thousand elite Xianbei cavalrymen who were resting and recuperating.
Seeing Lü Ping leading his army to charge, the five thousand elite cavalrymen were almost unhurried, slowly forming ranks and dealing with Lü Ping's suicidal charge.
Helpless, Lü Ping slowed down slightly.
Seeing this scene unfold.
The Han army, which was already gradually closing in, became even more frenzied! Almost disregarding casualties, they pressed forward relentlessly, biting down on the five thousand Xianbei who had been previously separated.
even.
Not only did they hold their ground, but this nearly 10,000-strong Han army also spun off more than 1,000 infantrymen, led by Cheng Lian and Cheng Pu, to support Lü Ping, who was practically flying into a flame.
The two sides quickly reunited.
at this time.
Lü Ping led over a thousand elite infantrymen and over a thousand weary cavalrymen.
In front of him.
It had five thousand elite Xianbei cavalry, as well as the Xianbei king Tanshihuai.
Behind him.
Countless Xianbei cavalrymen, realizing what was happening, quickly surrounded and attacked, attempting to protect their Xianbei king.
Lu Ping had nowhere to advance or retreat!
