Chapter 970: It's a step too late

It was Han Sui's surprise that did not continue much, because the severe test began.

On the one hand, the infantry fought with the knights who blocked the charge of the Xiliang cavalry, and on the other hand, the five thousand ambush soldiers in the large camp also rushed over and attacked from the flank.

For Xiliang Tie, the cavalry attacked the Chu army from both sides. Now there were only forty or fifty thousand cavalry left, divided into two parts, that is, about twenty-three or four thousand men in each part.

The cavalry of 23,400,000 had to fight with his troops and face 5,000 ambushes, and he did not have the upper hand at all.

The cavalry, which was not attacked by ambushes all the way, was still impressive with the Chu army, and because of the war horses, they had the upper hand.

The other cavalry, which had been ambushed all the way, began to falter as time passed.

Affected by the constraints of the situation, Han Sui immediately knew that it was time to make a choice. There was no way to shoot the Chu army, because the Chu soldiers had more aggressive crossbow methods.

The charge of the cavalry also had no way to take the Chu army. The Chu army blocked it with a brazen posture and unyielding courage. Today's fighting is more like a soldier on a horse, fighting a soldier who is not riding a horse.

There's a little bit of technology. This kind of fighting is very damaging to the cavalry. Even if it is a two-to-one mortality rate.

It's the cavalry that loses.

Bing is too delicate. What's more, with the current attitude, the base is one-to-one. And it's the cavalry that has fallen a little bit behind.

If it goes on, it will definitely be a lose-lose situation.

A war without a winner. This is unacceptable to Han Suilai.

Fall back. Han Sui's face turned red for a while, but he soon had a choice. Suddenly turned his head and yelled at the lieutenant general beside him.

The generals are also experienced generals and know that the current situation is not in their favor. After Han Sui gave the order, he immediately took out the horn and put it to his mouth and blew it.

Woooooooo ”

The sound of the horn sounded the signal for retreat.

After a while, the blood of the Xiliang knights gradually cooled down, and just now they were still boiling with blood, thinking very violently about how to deal with the foot soldiers in front of them.

staged a hearty massacre, but after a period of fighting, they had already understood the power of the Chu soldiers, and that idea was forgotten.

It's hard to kill, let alone slaughter.

At this time, after Han Sui's death, they suddenly turned the docks one after another and retreated.

Chao's luck lies in the fact that Cao Hong, a foreign general who sincerely helps, is willing to use his own losses to help Ma Chao escape. Han Sui's misfortune is precisely because of this.

Because there is no strong foreign general like Cao Hong around him, there is no brave general who can take charge on his own. When the lieutenant general blew the horn, the Xiliang iron cavalry retreated one after another, but it also caused a lot of confusion.

It was only difficult for the cavalry to turn around, and there was also the opportunity of the Chu soldiers to chase and kill.

At this time, it is a matter of heaven to take advantage of the chaos of the Xiliang Iron Riders to fight, and of course they must fight.

You're sick and you're going to die.

Kill, kill, kill. "Countless Chu soldiers with blood-red eyes, or holding spears to assassinate, or wielding Chu knives to slash, killing one Xiliang knight after another.

At all this, Han Sui felt a pain in his heart like a knife, but he was helpless. failed, it was his cavalry that was defeated by the foot soldiers of the Chu State, and thus failed.

Wars, fights. It can be that there is no strategy, but there is no intention, and it is still the strength to fight. And the result of this desperate effort was that Han Sui suffered heavy losses.

Let's go, if you can walk, it's counted as one. Han Sui was surrounded by his own soldiers and slaughtered outside, shouting over and over again, encouraging his cavalry to fight their way out of the encirclement.

It was the chaos that was still going on, and in this situation, there were even some impatient Xiliang knights who waved their blades at their own cavalry blocking the way in front of them.

Flutter, flutter. ”

In the sound of blades entering flesh, countless knights killed each other.

It is the Xiliang Iron Horse, that is, fierce, and the discipline is also very poor. In the past, relying on a fierce style, Han Sui dominated the northwest, but today this weakness has been completely exposed.

It was not a good time, and it led to further losses.

The chaos and slaughter lasted for a long time, and the whole battlefield quieted down after the last Xiliang cavalry on horseback was stabbed to death with a spear by a Chu sergeant.

Today's Xiliang Iron Riding is completely divided into two parts. Some of them were the dead who fell to the ground, and the other part were the remnants of the defeated army who fled with Han Sui.

At the moment, except for some soldiers who were fighting hard to clean up the battlefield. Most of the rest of the soldiers rested in place or tended to the wounded.

Zheng, Wu Yi also turned over and dismounted, sitting on the ground to rest.

There was a smile on the face.

We have completed the task and defeated Han Sui. After this battle, Han Sui's cavalry may only have lost 20,000 or 30,000 people. If His Majesty had achieved the same results in Meixian, then the 170,000 cavalry in the northwest would have been sharply reduced to less than 100,000. There are only 80,000 foot soldiers in the northwest, so our Chu army will have the upper hand in an all-round way. Sticker bar shake hands and play dedication. Yongliang, half of the base is in the hands of our Chu State. This victory is so important that even Fa Zheng is very excited because of it, and there are more words because of it.

Well, in this way, we have formed a three-sided encirclement of Wei, from Yanzhou in the north, to Wancheng and Yangzhou in the south, and then to our Yongzhou. In terms of national strength, it also greatly surpassed the Wei State. Wu Yi was also very excited.

Following Liu Zhang is just a guarantee, and it is already good to be able to protect the power. And now following the Chu State, he actually has the opportunity to dominate the world.

Moreover, his sister is still in Kou Feng's palace. All these things add up, and the position of a founding father can't run. Such as the heroes of Han Gaozu and the heroes of Emperor Guangwu County.

enjoys the admiration and envy of future generations.

What an honor. Now he is only one step away from that status.

After Yi and Fa Zheng sat for a while, the ground shook for a while.

Yes, this time Wu Yi and Fa Zheng didn't have any preparations. Because they knew that Han Sui had fled, like a lost dog.

There will be no comeback during the period. It must have been Zhao Qiyun's elite cavalry.

However, not long after, the handsome banner of the word "Chu" appeared in the northwest direction, and then the cavalry of the Chu army of the sky scale appeared, but it was Zhao Qiyun who killed it.

Dada. ”

The cavalry of the scale came to a halt in an instant. At the forefront was a silver-armored general, who was none other than Zhao Qiyun, the general of the Chu army.

It's really a sea of blood. Zhao Qiyun sighed at the tragic scene in front of him, the sea of blood made of blood.

I was also completely relieved. After Fa Zheng discovered Han Sui's cavalry, he sent spies to deliver the news to him, and Zhao Qiyun led the heavenly army to come without saying a word.

I hope to be able to help a little when the Chu army is at a disadvantage, but now that I come, it is redundant. The powerful combat power of the Chu army is beyond imagination.

Checkmate. After Zhao Qiyun sighed for a moment, he immediately rode his horse to the side of Fa Zheng and saluted.

Zilong. Fa Zheng got up and returned the salute, and Wu Yi also got up.

What to do next, please generals. Zhao Qiyun said humbly.

Han Sui fought with me and lost tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and the rest was only twenty or thirty thousand. Now that we are fleeing to the southeast in a hurry, we can't pursue, there is Lao Zilong, and we can kill as many as we can. And I led the foot soldiers, attacked Jincheng, and encroached on Qin. "Then attack Wucheng to the north." Fa Zheng Dao.

The goal of defeating Han Sui has been accomplished, and all that remains is to encroach on Liangzhou. The current situation is very favorable to the state of Chu. Han Sui's cavalry was crippled, and only twenty or thirty thousand remained. The remaining 30,000 foot soldiers were piled up in Xianyang.

Even if you defend the city, there is no way to defend it.

In a war, in addition to dealing with Ma Teng and Han Sui, Cao Cao was also a big enemy. Han Sui is on the left, Ma Teng is in the middle, and Cao Cao is on the right.

Ma Teng in the middle will cause a three-way attack.

Han Sui on the left can be consolidated. As long as Liangzhou is taken, after Xiazhi, Wudu and other cities, Yizhou can be linked to Liangzhou, and a large-scale transportation force can be dispatched to defend the town.

The state also produces war horses.

Therefore, the encroachment of Liangzhou is very important for the Chu State. Even if Yongzhou can't be captured, with Liangzhou, Yongzhou can still be captured next time.

Fa Zheng will naturally not give up this opportunity.

Promise. "Zhao Qiyun also knows the current situation, it is very important to hunt down Han Sui, and he can best kill Han Sui, even if he can't, he can continue to defeat Han Sui's cavalry. Therefore, after Fa Zheng gave the order, he immediately made a promise, turned over his horse, and returned to the formation. After that, the cavalry of the Chu State turned their horses and marched to the northwest.

Hit Han and went.

After Zhao Qiyun led the jaw cavalry to chase to the northwest, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Han Sui, I guess I can't afford to make any waves. Immediately, Fa Zheng was getting dark again, and it was really nightfall.

Let's clean up for a while, and then we'll lead our troops back to the camp. Tomorrow, Ziyuan will bring enough food for one or two years, and lead 15,000 elite soldiers to attack Qin. Then he refused. I led a large army against the Golden City and some of the nearby cities. Encroaching on Liangzhou. ”

Facing Wu Yidao.

Promise. Wu Yi promised.

That is, the army, after cleaning for a while, led its troops back to the camp.

In the south direction, about a hundred miles away from the camp of the Chu State, there were more than ten fast horses galloping, and the knights on the horses were very dignified and anxious.

It was a spy sent by Yan Xing to warn Han Sui.

You've got to catch up. The spies at the head screamed in their hearts.
