Before Yuan Shu's words were finished, a row of firelight flashed in the darkness in the distance, and the location was actually in Luoshui. Everyone was amazed, the grass along the line of the river was full of fire, and at the same time, the east and west directions were also full of flames, and in an instant an encirclement was formed with fire on three sides.

The ignition of this era was nothing more than grease mixed with charcoal or hay, but the bad embryo of Tyumen was also added with sulfur and saltpeter, which not only burned the sky, but also mixed with a large number of crackling and crackling sounds, and the sound was amazing.

Almost as soon as the flame head rose, Li Xu jumped on his mount and beckoned his subordinates to immediately get on their horses and fight. But just now, in order to recuperate their horsepower, most of the cavalry dismounted, and many of the horses were so startled by the crackling sound that people neighed wildly, and the scene was chaotic, and there was not one out of ten who could immediately enter the battle.

At this time, the south wind was blowing, and the fire lit by the river quickly burned to the beach, Zhou Zhi saw many of his subordinates screaming and being engulfed in the fire ring, and shouted angrily: "Don't care about the fire behind, we rush forward desperately, and it is victory to enter Luoyang City." After saying that, he took the banner from the hand of the flag bearer, waved it fiercely in the wind a few times, shouted, "Follow me who are not afraid of death", and rushed in the direction of the city gate.

Because of Cheng Yu's request, Zhang He has not had a palm lamp here, and all the soldiers have been waiting silently in the dark. As the fire flickered, a piece of armor with a dark blue appeared in front of everyone's eyes like a cold rock, and a pole and five halberds pointed forward obliquely like sharp spikes, although there were less than two thousand people, it looked like a million male soldiers.

Zhou Zhi cried bitterly in his heart, if he fought in peacetime, he would naturally not be stupid enough to drive the cavalry to the guns and halberds in the array, but now the back is in chaos, and both sides are surrounded by fire, if they can't defeat the enemy blocking the road as soon as possible, I'm afraid that they will be wiped out here.

When the brave wins on the narrow road, Zhou Zhi shook the banner out of two spears, shouted: "All of them, charge", then bent down and accelerated the speed of the horse towards the halberd array. The flagpole in his hand was a few points longer than the halberd, and he was confident that he would poke a big hole in the opposing defense line before the halberd blade injured himself, and the brothers in the back could successfully defeat the other party with a little more force.

Zhang He saw the intention of the enemy general, he had also been on the battlefield for a long time, how could he let people easily impact the battle array, and he was about to shoot his horse and kill him, but unexpectedly, Wei Yan suddenly appeared from the darkness next to him and stopped Zhou Zhi like a whirlwind. Zhou Zhi was not using a weapon at the moment, and the big flag was too cumbersome to turn, barely blocking a few times, and was shouted by Wei Yan, and even the people with the flag were cut into two sections.

The breaking of the military flag was a bad omen, and the cavalry following behind were taken aback, and they couldn't help but slow down their horses, Wei Yan took this opportunity to urge the one-horned black smoke beast to quickly flee into the darkness again, and after a while, the figure was gone.

Thousands of cavalry continued to charge towards the Euphorbia's position, and although there was a little hesitation, they soon understood their situation and began to fight for their lives. Looking down from the city wall, they slammed the embankment like a raging tide, shattering into a flood of waves in the earth-shattering tremor, and the embankment was also washed a little crumbling, as if it was a little unstable.

Zhang He walked through the halberd team with a solemn face, he had already divided his subordinates into three teams, and replaced them in rounds to share the pressure. However, the impact of tens of thousands of cavalry, including men and horses, was too violent, and many people's halberds had been broken on the spot, and even some people's arms were broken. Although Zhang He has been cheering them up, he has been thinking about where the limits of these subordinates are, and in case the other party opens a gap, how to mobilize the reserve team to intercept and prevent the collapse of the whole line.

If there are more and more wounded Euphorbia and the scene is a little embarrassing, the cavalry on the opposite side can only be described as miserable. In high-speed running, even if they wanted to stop, they couldn't do it, and they would only be trampled into flesh by the galloping horses behind them, so they could only close their eyes and grit their teeth and crash into the halberd in waves. In less than a moment, the position was already full of corpses, and the blood was flowing everywhere, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a horse.

Zhang He gave an order, and the halberdiers of the first team immediately dropped their weapons and ran back, retreating to the rear along the gap between the second team's companions to rest. The halberdiers of the second team knelt neatly on the ground, the head of the club was inserted into the mud, and the tip of the halberd pointed diagonally upward, using the power of the earth to stabilize the formation. Soon, their halberds were filled with men and horses that were violently colliding with them, and some of them were still screaming and neighing like hell.

Zhang He didn't cast a glance at the dying, and gave another order, and the third team stepped forward to take over the position, while the wounded of the first team had been helped down to rest, and the others took the auxiliaries and handed over the new halberd, and were in the rear array again. Looking at Zhang He's arrangement, it is to use the continuous change between queues to relieve fatigue and offset the instantaneous impact of the cavalry.

The cavalry on the opposite side also saw this, these steel monsters in front of them were by no means something they could defeat in a short time, but the fire behind them had already burned over, and the left and right were dead, so it was better to fight to the death vigorously.

At this time, on the city wall, Liu Hong, the son of heaven, who saw such a bloody scene for the first time, was almost unstable. He said to Yuan Shu who came to support him in a trembling voice: "Yuan Qing, what do you think of this victory?" ”

Although Yuan Shu knew it in his heart, after all, the battlefield was changing rapidly, and he didn't dare to pack the ticket, so he turned his head and asked his retainer Ji Ling. Ji Ling thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, this battle will definitely be won, it's just ......."

Yuan Shu immediately asked, "Just what?" ”

"It's just that the trapped beasts are still fighting, only increasing casualties, and now the opposing army has lost its heart and will collapse, it is better to let go for the time being, and then cover and pursue from behind when the enemy army routs, I think few of these cavalry can escape Luoshui,"

As soon as Ji Ling's words fell, he saw that the wall of fire that was coming with the wind from the direction of Luoshui suddenly decreased in momentum, and it seemed that it was about to be extinguished. It turned out that Cheng Yu had already thought of this layer, and took into account the cavalry's charging distance and time when arranging the fire-starting things, and the reason why Zhang He withdrew eight hundred steps was also calculated, and now that the fire has decreased, it has immediately had a huge impact on the battlefield situation.

People are all seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, let alone war horses? Just now, it was because of the fire behind him that burned his buttocks, and now that the fire is almost gone, who would want to rush towards the tip of the halberd in front of him, not to mention that so many pieces of flesh and blood in front of him have been fully explained. Almost at the same time, all the cavalry slowed down their horses and began to look around.
