However, it was not an easy decision to make. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAfter all, if you want to use up the horsepower of these 6,000 iron horses, you don't know how much you need to pay. Perhaps, before the opponent's horsepower is exhausted, the soldiers on his side have already been slaughtered. After all, there are only 30,000 horses on the Cao army's side, and on average, a mounted iron horse only needs to slaughter five Cao troops to slaughter the Cao army.

What's more, these soldiers of Cao Jun are not killing machines that don't know fear, not to mention the casualties, I am afraid that as long as the casualty rate reaches two or three percent, they will have collapsed.

Moreover, under the charge of 6,000 mounted iron horses, hovering on the verge of death, how many people can think calmly and see the essence through the phenomenon?

Even if the general has this vision and courage, can Cao Shipu, whose morale has fallen to the bottom, fully carry out the orders of the commander-in-chief?

Even if Xiahou Yuan eliminated these unfavorable factors and seized the opportunity, would he be able to resist the backhand he had laid out?

………………

Just as Li Yi and Gao Shun were talking, the banner that Cao Jun put out finally changed.

"Woo...... Whining! The desolate sound of the trumpet revealed a tragic mood.

"Knock knock!" The earth-shattering sound of war drums was even more connected, and without the slightest gap, a fierce battle spirit was about to come out!

"Up!" The one who can serve as the shield bearer in the front row is originally the most daring soldier in the army. Hearing the sound of trumpets and drums, these strong men did not hesitate to pull the oars out of the earth and hold them firmly in front of them.

They have long been fed up with this situation where they can only be beaten and cannot fight back. Now that the horn of the counterattack has finally sounded, they can finally use the shield in their hands to open the way for the army!

"Before!" The courage of the shield hand encouraged some of the soldiers, and seeing that the army's spirit was available, the generals of the front army did not hesitate to order the advance.

The shield wall moved slowly, and more than half of the spearmen followed closely behind them, followed by a similar proportion of sword and shield soldiers.

Most of the crossbowmen stood stupidly in place, screaming in dismay, until they noticed that the shields above their heads and in front of them were gone.

The casualties of the crossbowmen were not necessarily the highest, but their morale was definitely the hardest hit, because they had been fighting, fighting in vain and desperate.

Initially, Cao's counterattack was chaotic, and this was directly reflected in their array.

It didn't take long for the situation to improve, though. Xiahou Yuan ignored the chaos that one part of the army was advancing and the other part was hesitating, and did not dispatch the supervising team to suppress the pressure, but divided the troops along the way, and the main general's banner advanced with the front army, and ordered the deputy general and the army to rectify the rear army.

Looking at the evolution of the battle situation, Li Yi's mood was quite complicated.

Gao Shun's judgment was accurate. Cao Jun's command level should have different voices, maybe it was because of these different voices that Xiahou Yuan did not seize the best opportunity to counterattack. After the dispute was fruitless, he took advantage of the situation, divided the army in two, personally led the soldiers who dared to fight as the forerunner, and left the lieutenant general who interfered with his judgment to wait and see.

If the battle ahead is favorable, these walls may soon follow; If it is unfavorable, with Xiahou Yuan in the way, they will also have time to escape.

I have to say that Xiahou Yuan is quite decisive, and the choice he made is the wisest judgment in helplessness, and he is worthy of being a general.

Li Yi sighed. It's a pity...... He was at the wrong time, with the wrong group of companions, against the wrong opponent.

On his own side, there are also generals!

The three generals in the pro-guard army, Dian Wei, Yuwen Chengdu and Lu Wenlong, although they have always played the role of guards by Li Yi's side, their ability is beyond doubt. Yuwen Chengdu's unification is as high as 87 and 99, and Lu Wenlong's unification is as high as 88 and 99, which are all generals who stand alone. Although Dian Wei's commander is a little worse, his force is extremely good, and he is the best choice to be a guard general.

In addition, Gao Shun is also a general in charge of one side, after ten years of training in the Northern Xinjiang Army, now his five dimensions have risen from the original commander 90, armed 87, resourceful 65, political 51, and charismatic 83 to commander 91, armed force 88, resourceful 66, political 51, and charismatic 83. It can be said that it is not inferior to Xiahou Yuan on the opposite side at all.

"Where is Ziping?" Li Yi was born from drinking.

Gao Shun replied loudly: "Gao Shun is here!" ”

"Lead your troops and horses to break the enemy in front of me with me!" Li Yi has no intention of charging into battle today, and now he has already passed the period when he needs to charge into battle by himself. What's more, with such a few generals, there is no need for him to charge the battle in person.

"Whoa!" In the sonorous sound of iron armor, Gao Shun responded with his fists and strode off the high platform, and his majestic figure soon disappeared into the sea of people.

Not long after, the flag of the former army was raised, and on the blood-like bright red flag, the word "high" was hunting and hunting, the horns and war drums sounded in unison, and the battle horns were even higher and higher.

The "Invincible......" shield man rose up and gave up the front row position to his companion behind him. In their place was a team of monsters wrapped in iron armor, and the five-foot snow-bright blade in their hands was even more shocking.

"Conquer everything!" Five hundred sharp blades were raised high, like the teeth of a savage beast, and it was one of the highest achievements of the Han Dynasty's weapons, the sword of the horse! The blades reflected the sunlight, and the brilliant light was connected.

"Long drive straight into the ......" Gao Shun stood in the forefront, raised his axe and sword, and behind him, thousands of strong men holding long-handled axes and axes lined up into a dense fish-scale array.

The army created by Gao Shun is a pure heavy army. Their tactics are to attack, attack, and attack! It's not the shield that protects them, but the armor on their bodies and the ferocious attack power! Otherwise, Li Yi would not have given the title of the Trap Legion to this army. After all, this is still the first titled legion in the Northern Xinjiang Army.

It is precisely because of the great trust given to Gao Shun and this army that Li Yi rarely watched from the wall in the fierce battle. In fact, if you don't consider the factor of position, Li Yi really doesn't want to miss the upcoming showdown.

Gao Shun is good at leading the army to charge into battle and siege the city, while Xiahou Yuan is good at long-distance running and sports warfare, and the collision of these two famous generals will of course burst out with amazing brilliance.

Of course, for Xiahou Yuan, the situation was very unfavorable. Gao Shun's troops have undergone many years of training, and their training level is far above Xiahou Yuan's army, and more importantly, before this collision, Xiahou Yuan's troops have already been clumsy.

So......

"Invincible!" When Gao Shun's broadsword fell heavily, and the elite of the 6,000 Northern Xinjiang Army drove forward, Li Yi had already foreseen the final outcome of the battle.

Because this battle was unfair from the start. Xiahou Yuan's counteroffensive was dominated by the Chinese army, supplemented by the two wings, and with the rapid advance of the Chinese army, the initial wild goose formation reversed and turned into a classic offensive formation, a huge arrow.

This is the best way to deal with the heavy cavalry charge, otherwise it will not be able to resist the surprise attack of the heavy cavalry.

Originally, the best way to deal with the heavy cavalry charge was to face the enemy head-on with hoplites, but there were no hoplites in his army, and in desperation, he had to exchange the advantage of flesh and blood and numbers for a reversal of the situation.

After Xiahou Yuan took this measure, the momentum of the impact of the Northern Xinjiang Iron Cavalry was contained, and this Iron Cavalry did not launch a frontal assault on the Cao army, but divided into two groups and rushed towards the two wings of the Cao army.

Although this caused a lot of losses to the two flanks of Cao's army, it was equivalent to being broken through the army formation from the center by the enemy, which was a good result.

It seemed that the counterattack was going well, but Xiahou Yuan did not feel happy at all, on the contrary, he felt a strong uneasiness.

The Northern Frontier Iron Cavalry was not forced to retreat, but changed its tactics according to a predetermined plan.

On the opposite side of the gap vacated by the Iron Horseman, a high-spirited elite is attacking with a furious momentum!

Obviously, this is Li Yi's real killer feature.

If someone can look down from the sky, they will be surprised to find that if you put aside the iron cavalry of the northern frontier, the formation of the two armies at this moment is exactly the same.

There is a sharp arrow in front, and the back is separated from the striker by some distance, and when the striker makes contact, a huge hourglass is built.

Although Xiahou Yuan couldn't fly to the sky to watch the battle, his years of experience in the battle were not given in vain, he quickly simulated the situation of the battlefield in his heart, deduced it, and quickly came to a conclusion.

The key point now is the situation after the striker takes over.

For the Northern Frontier Army, as long as it can withstand the offensive of the Cao Army, it can let the cavalry on both flanks continue to play a role and still firmly grasp the initiative in the battle.

If you can go further, defeat the vanguard of the Cao army, and directly roll back, you can cooperate with the Northern Frontier Iron Cavalry to fully defeat the Cao army. If the situation really evolves like that, let alone Xiahou Yuan, even if Sun Wu is reincarnated, it will be impossible to save the fate of Cao Jun's fiasco.

But will you let the enemy get what you want? A cold light flashed in Xiahou Yuan's eyes, revealing a sneer.

The vanguard of the Northern Xinjiang Army is Gao Shun and his personal guards, as a number of generals in Northern Xinjiang, Gao Shun has participated in countless major battles in the past ten years, and his personal guards naturally crawled out of the pile of dead people, and they are definitely the elite of the elite. Although the size of this force was only 200 men, it had built a name for itself during the major wars of the decade.

But Xiahou Yuan's side is not weak, and his personal guards also have more than 200 people in the forward position. In addition, the soldiers of the vanguard are also veterans who have followed him for many years, and even many of them joined the army when his brother Xiahoudun went south to Danyang to recruit troops in the first year of Chuping, and after years of training, his combat effectiveness is not bad.

The strength or weakness has not yet been decided! (To be continued.) )
