"With 3,000 recruits, 15,000 Taishan thieves were defeated, more than 600 were beheaded, and 1,300 prisoners were captured. How did she do it......"

Chu Tian, who was blocked by the Battle Spirit Town, couldn't believe it when he received the battle report from Xia Cheng.

He didn't expect the rear to take the initiative at all, he just asked to stick to Xia Cheng and wait for him to come back.

As a result, Xia Liang, who stayed in Xia City, defeated Wu Dun, who was besieging Liangshan Town, with 3,000 recruits, and became famous in Langya.

Although Wu Dun is not a famous general, he is also one of the famous Taishan thieves, and he also brought 15,000 soldiers and horses.

You must know that Xia Liang's chosen career direction is Wenchen, and there is no bonus to the troops.

"People with good brains are first-class in everything they do, and they deserve to be the middle of women."

Chu Tian could only think so.

Breaking the enemy with lime and fire horse formations, and setting up suspicious soldiers to interfere with the judgment of the enemy army, even Chu Tian couldn't do better.

In any case, the soldiers and horses that posed a threat to Xia Cheng on the two roads had already been broken by Xia Liang with his wisdom, and Xia Cheng faced a much smaller threat. This gave Chu Tian more time to conquer Yangdu County.

"Xueyue, you lead your troops to besiege Battle Spirit Town, and wait for me to break Xu Sheng's army before continuing the attack."

Chu Tian knew how much pressure he was facing in the rear, and his speed on his side should be fast.

Leaving 10,000 people in Xueyue to monitor Qi Xiaobai and Wu Sangui, Chu Tian took 15,000 people to attack the various lords who came to reinforce him.

The Xia Cheng forces used a limited number of troops to fight against enemies several times their size, and in almost every battle, the weak defeated the strong. The Anti-Chutian Alliance can afford to lose many times, but Chutian can't afford to lose once.

Xu Sheng's army had advanced to less than fifteen miles away from Battle Spirit Town.

Xu Sheng knew that Chu Tian had at least two fierce generals, and with the five thousand men in his hands, he was not necessarily Chu Tian's opponent, so he did not continue to march, but waited for other reinforcements to arrive.

The troops of eight lords arrived one after another, converging with Xu Sheng's army, forming an army of 29,000 men.

These lords learned that Xu Sheng was the general of the lord of Lingcheng in Juxian County, so they made Xu Sheng the chief general of the coalition army. Xu Sheng led the coalition army to the south.

Xu Sheng judged that the strength of 29,000 troops was enough to threaten Chu Tian's retreat.

However, Chutian did not retreat, but led 15,000 people to meet Xu Sheng's army.

This is one of the few times that Chu Tian has a head-on confrontation with a historical general. The other side has more soldiers and horses, and it is not easy to be defeated.

The two armies met on the plain twelve miles away from the Battle Spirit Town, and formed a formation.

Chutian was located in the south, with Zhou Yafu's Xiliu battalion and heavy infantry as the central army, and Li Guang's shooting battalion as the rear row.

Mulan led the cavalry on the flanks.

Chu Tian had already ordered that Mulan was forbidden to charge in front of this battle, and he only needed Mulan to bring an offensive and defensive bonus to the cavalry.

Fang Xuanling, who served as a military advisor, followed Chu Tian's side, observing the battlefield and providing advice at any time.

To the north was Xu Sheng's 29,000 men, also with infantry as the center and cavalry as the flanks.

"The troops on the other side are twice as many as ours, and with Xu Sheng's command and bonus, this battle is not easy to fight."

Chu Tian was a little apprehensive in his heart.

There were eight lords on the opposite side, and the lords of Lingcheng did not come in person, but only sent Xu Sheng to command the soldiers and horses.

"The other party is Chu Zimou, the first alien lord, and there are several famous generals under his command, as well as high-level troops, we can't take it lightly."

"No one shall betray an ally, and those who surrender or flee before the war has completely collapsed will not die a good death."

This group of lords can hold out until now, and they all know that betraying allies is a big taboo.

Throughout the ages, it is not uncommon to be betrayed by teammates.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sound of war drums sounded, and the Chu Tianjun, whose strength was on the weaker side, took the initiative to attack Xu Shengjun!

"He is worthy of being the first lord, he is full of strong confidence in his generals and soldiers, and he dares to take the initiative to attack on the premise that his troops are less than half of us."

The eight lords were in turmoil, and the pressure brought by the first lord was greater than they could have imagined.

There is a reason why the first lord is the first lord, and behind it is a strong army.

The Hosoliu Battalion and the Archery Battalion marched forward with ordinary archers.

"When the two armies meet, the brave wins! Offensive! ”

Xu Sheng's army also launched an offensive!

The war drums of the two armies are beating, and the momentum is shaking the heavens and the earth!

This was the largest official battle that took place in Langya. 15,000 against 29,000!

The crossbows of both sides were thrown, and the marksmen of the shooting battalion showed their skills, and the sharp arrows shot were fast and ruthless! Xu Shengjun was shot by the arrows thrown by the Shooting Battalion, and the light infantry and archers were almost killed with one arrow!

The heavy infantry of Langya City was arranged by Zhou Yafu at the forefront, this group of heavy infantry was wearing heavy armor, holding heavy shields, and launched a foot charge under the rain of arrows, and the pace was getting faster and faster!

On the premise that the rain of arrows on both sides killed and injured each other, the front rows of the two armies finally collided!

The bright spear stabbed at each other, and the two sides fought hand-to-hand!

Behind the heavy infantry in Langya City was the Willow Battalion, whose soldiers first used infantry crossbows to shoot at the opposing infantry, and then used halberds to form a dense phalanx and join the melee battle.

Li Guang rode a war horse, held a longbow, and constantly sniped the opponent's generals.

A silver-level ordinary military general who was commanding the army was shot by Li Guang and fell off his horse, causing everyone to panic.

The battlefield was full of shouts and killings, and it was estimated that the battle would not be resolved in a few hours if the battle continued like this.

The Willow Battalion and the Shooting Sound Battalion were fierce, but the other side was too numerous after all, which could offset the advantage brought by a small number of elite soldiers in Xia City.

The enemy's general is Xu Sheng, and it is difficult to crush the opponent's morale with elite troops.

"Order the cavalry to attack, and the outcome of this battle will be decided by the cavalry."

Chu Tian had almost no reserves in his hands, and he pinned his hopes on cavalry.

With Zhou Yafu, who is good at defense, sticking to it, Chutian believes that it will be difficult for Xu Sheng to gnaw on the hard bone of Zhou Yafu.

Hua Mulan led more than 2,000 cavalry to attack the cavalry on the opposite side.

Xu Sheng's army had about 3,000 cavalry, and the commander of this cavalry was a gold-level cavalry general.

Gold-level generals are rare, but this time the lord of the anti-Chutian Alliance is actually not a small and medium-sized lord, but a big lord of other counties, and it is not strange to have a gold-level cavalry general.

Gold-level ordinary cavalry generals can already cause a lot of trouble to historical generals. After all, some historical generals are just gold-level in themselves, such as Mi Fang. It's just that the characteristics of historical generals are more domineering.

The two cavalry clashed, and the light cavalry of Xia Cheng had the bonus of Mulan and had the advantage.

The two sides broke out in the largest cavalry battle in Langya Kingdom so far, spears and straight-edged knives collided, and cavalry were killed at every moment, and blood stained the Yihe River red!

Precious cavalry and war horses are constantly consumed in the great battle, and they will be a success!

Hua Mulan was ordered by Chu Tian not to take the lead, and when she saw the two sides fighting, she couldn't hold back in her heart, but she could only take out the longbow and shoot the other party's cavalry generals.

The gold-level cavalry general held a spear and stabbed down a Xia City cavalryman.

Suddenly, his instincts made him subconsciously dodge, and an arrow hit the red tassel on his helmet, nearly hitting the head.

Another arrow came, and the cavalry general's horse was hit by an arrow, and the horse stumbled and threw the cavalry general out......

Behind the light cavalry led by Mulan, there was a heavy cavalry like an iron bucket ready to go.

"The will on the other side is very tenacious."

Xu Sheng used his longbow to shoot arrows at Zhou Yafu's army, and the iron arrows were blocked by the shields of the infantry of the Xiliu battalion.

He realized that Zhou Yafu was a strong enemy, and it was clear that he had pressed it with superior forces, and even bent his bow and shot arrows himself, but he was never able to break through Zhou Yafu's defense line.

According to Xu Sheng's vision, this should be a rout, not a tug-of-war.

Zhou Yafu relied on the fine willow battalion and inferior troops, and fought back and forth with Xu Sheng, and the two sides fought for half an hour, and there was almost no change in the battle line.

Chutian sent Zhou Yafu just to disgust Xu Sheng.

Unless the opponent has an absolute advantage, or is an offensive general who is better than Zhou Yafu, it is possible to defeat Zhou Yafu relatively easily.

Otherwise, the opponent will be disgusted by Zhou Yafu, who is good at defense......

Zhou Yafu's troops have a 30% defense bonus, and Mulan has a 10% defense bonus against allies, in addition, Zhou Yafu's troops are not prone to negative states such as chaos and morale drops.

In other words, if you want to defeat Zhou Yafu, you must confront Zhou Yafu head-on, and the defense of Zhou Yafu's army is extremely high...... That's enough to disgust people.

At least now Xu Sheng is very uncomfortable.

"General, our cavalry is defeated!"

An unfavorable news came.

Xu Sheng can still fight with Zhou Yafu with the advantage of troops, he can't help Zhou Yafu, and Zhou Yafu can't help him for a while. However, Xu Sheng's cavalry did not have a numerical advantage and was routed by Mulan's light cavalry, and the flanks of Xu Sheng's army were exposed to the blows of Mulan's cavalry.

"The flanks and rear armies form a phalanx of spears, accompanied by crossbowmen, to fully guard against the surprise attack of the opposing cavalry."

Xu Sheng used two weapons, spears and infantry crossbows, against Mulan's cavalry.

The last encounter has proven that this is a sharp weapon against the light cavalry.

Hua Mulan's light cavalry did not take the initiative to attack the opponent's flank, but raised sand and dust, surrounded Xu Sheng's army, and tried to find a breakthrough point.

The infantry archers of Xu Sheng's army responded to the light cavalry in horror, not knowing where the opponent would attack from.

Mulan's light cavalry stood in front of the heavy cavalry, hiding the whereabouts of this hole card.

The light cavalry invaded everywhere, and Xu Shengjun couldn't tell where Mulan wanted to attack, and there was dust raised by the cavalry everywhere.

Suddenly, the ground trembled slightly, and it was the sound of horses' hooves, which was three points duller than that of the light cavalry.

In the dust, a cavalry force like an iron bucket haunts, all wearing heavy armor and iron hooves, and the ground shook!

A white-clothed young general took the lead, holding Fang Tian's halberd. Behind him, the heavy cavalry in the front row held sharp horse lances, which were long enough to stab the infantry to death before their spears could stab the heavy cavalry!

Three hundred heavy cavalry entered the battlefield, which means that this battle is coming to an end!

Either the heavy cavalry breaks the formation, or the heavy cavalry people turn on their backs!

Attracted by Mulan's light cavalry, Xu Sheng's army didn't expect that there would be a terrifying heavy cavalry hidden behind the light cavalry, and hurriedly adjusted the formation!

The heavy cavalry had begun to accelerate, their speed gradually increased, the ground shook more and more, and all the spearmen, shieldmen, and crossbowmen turned pale.

Being crushed by the torrent of steel against the face, this huge sense of oppression is enough to make countless people panic!

"What are the crossbowmen still stunned, archery!"

The crossbowmen reacted and fired razor-sharp bolts!

Crossbow bolts grazed through the armor of the heavy cavalry, and the clash of iron weapons produced sparks, but the time was too short for the naked eye to make the resulting sparks visible.

The steel torrent composed of heavy cavalry suffered few casualties under the blow of the opponent's first round of crossbow arrows!

The heavy cavalry sacrificed the same mobility as the light cavalry in exchange for the defense and impact power of the armor!

"It's too early to release the arrows!"

At this time, the lord who was commanding the crossbowmen understood that the crossbowmen did very little damage to the heavy cavalry from too far away.

Heavy cavalry can only deal a lot of damage unless they are at a close distance, or if they use heavy arrows.

Xue Rengui took the lead, Fang Tian's halberd split the crossbow arrows that were fired, and the halberd swept forward, cutting off the spear blocking the front, and plunged into the enemy's phalanx!

The Xuzhou heavy cavalry and Goguryeo heavy cavalry in the rear slammed into the opponent's phalanx, and the horse lances of the heavy cavalry in the front row took the lead in piercing the opponent's pikemen and broke through the enemy formation with unrivaled impact!

The iron bucket-like torrent of steel then advanced, quickly crushing the opponent's fragile phalanx, and slamming forward!

Xue Rengui used his personal force to open the way for the heavy cavalry and kept moving forward!

Once the heavy cavalry launched a charge, it was difficult to adjust the direction, and they could only move forward!

As long as they stop, they will soon be stabbed to death by each other's spears, so they can only keep attacking!

"The right flank of our army was attacked by the enemy's heavy cavalry, and it has been broken!"

Xu Sheng, who was still in a tug-of-war with Zhou Yafu, learned the news and immediately boarded the carriage and looked at the right flank.

A heavy cavalry, under the leadership of the white-clothed general, is quickly breaking through the phalanx of Xu Sheng's army, wanting to chisel through the entire phalanx!

"When the reserves come forward, they must stop this heavy cavalry!"

Xu Sheng sent a reserve team.

When Xue Rengui's heavy cavalry carried out a surprise attack, Hua Mulan, who had been wandering, took advantage of the confusion of the other party and was full of flaws, so she led the light cavalry to take the rear of the enemy army and carry out a flanking attack.

Fang Xuanling and Chu Tian climbed high and looked, and seeing that the two armies were fighting, Xue Rengui had already led the heavy cavalry to cut through the enemy formation, readjust the troops, and prepare to turn back for a second charge.

"The enemy position is already in disarray, and no amount of troops will help. In this battle, our army won. ”

Fang Xuanling observed the situation and made a decisive judgment at this time.

"Xu Sheng can also be regarded as a capable person, and he can draw with Zhou Yafu under the attack of the Xiliu Battalion and the Shooting Sound Battalion. It's just that they lacked a strong cavalry, so they were defeated. ”

Chu Tian bullied Xu Sheng for the lack of cavalry and cavalry generals, so he bet his hopes on heavy cavalry.

Xue Rengui lived up to expectations and led heavy cavalry to chisel through the enemy formation, causing the enemy's formation to be chaotic and morale to drop significantly.

"Pass the order, if you capture Xu Sheng alive, don't kill him, I still lack a water general."

Chu Tian coveted Xu Sheng's ability.

It's a pity that this is not Yangzhou, otherwise in the water war, Chu Tian's subordinates may not necessarily be Xu Sheng's opponents.
