Chapter 417: Two-sided attack
At this moment, a counselor in the Yellow Turban Army suddenly had an idea and made a bold suggestion to the general: "General, why don't we use the terrain to deal with these heavy infantry."

He pointed to a small hill next to the battlefield and said, "We can send an elite force to bypass the hill and launch a surprise attack on the Halberd Corps from the flank."

Several generals in the front of the Taiping Sect had a gleam of light in their eyes when they heard this. After thinking for a moment, they resolutely gave the order: "Okay! We will follow your plan!"

As the order was issued, the Yellow Turban Army began to adjust its tactical deployment in full swing.

"Order! 'Iron Wall Guards' step out and meet the enemy!"

Following the general's order, a corps of heavy infantry slowly walked out of the Taiping Sect's formation.

These are the elite heavy infantry brought by the Taiping Sect this time - the "Iron Wall Guards".

The Iron Wall Guards, as their name suggests, are as indestructible as an iron wall. They are dressed in specially made heavy armor, which is made of multiple layers of fine iron. It not only has extremely strong protective power, but can also effectively resist the enemy's heavy attacks.

Armed with a spear and a huge shield, it is capable of both offense and defense, and is a mobile fortress on the battlefield.

The opposing halberd warrior army also felt the oppression brought by the Iron Wall Guards.

They clenched their halberds in their hands, preparing for the coming collision.

The two armies slowly approached each other, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

Suddenly, a deafening roar broke out from the Iron Wall Guards' array, followed by the sound of uniform footsteps, like thunder, shocking everyone.

Like an unstoppable iron torrent, it rushed towards the Halberd Warriors Corps.

The halberd warriors quickly formed an iron shield line of defense to resist the charge of the Iron Wall Guards.

However, the Iron Wall Guards had extremely strong impact force, and their spears and giant shields formed an impeccable offensive and defensive system.

In the fierce collision, halberds and spears intertwined, and iron shields and giant shields collided with each other, making a deafening sound.

Every collision seemed to tear the opponent's defense apart.

The battlefield was filled with smoke, and the roars of soldiers from both sides, the clashing of weapons, and the neighing of horses intertwined together, forming a heroic war symphony.

The battle between the Iron Wall Guards and the Halberd Guards lasted for a long time, and both sides made tremendous efforts.

The Iron Wall Guards relied on their tenacious defense and powerful impact force to repel the attacks of the Halberd Warriors time and time again.

The Halberd Corps was not to be outdone. They kept adjusting their tactics, trying to find an opportunity to break through the Iron Wall Guards' defense line.

However, at this critical moment, an elite Yellow Turban Army unit quietly bypassed the hill and launched a sudden and fierce attack from the flank of the Halberd Corps.

This sudden change caught the Halberd Corps off guard, and the iron shield defense line became loose and chaotic in an instant.

"Quick! Take this opportunity to break through their defenses!"

The Yellow Turban general shouted loudly, and he led the troops to launch a more fierce attack.

At the same time, the elite troops of the Taiping Sect, named "Xuan Piaoqi", who were arranged on the other side, also launched an attack on the Daji soldiers from the other side.

This group of black cavalrymen are the elite in the Taiping Sect. They are clad in black armor with complex runes engraved on them, which makes them look mysterious and majestic.

The long-handled lance, the tip of which is made of fine steel and flashes with a cold light, is also equipped with a short sword at the waist for close combat.

The addition of the Xuanqi made the battlefield situation more complicated.

They formed a two-pronged attack from the flanks and the Iron Wall Guards in the front, posing a huge threat to the Halberd Corps.

The black knights rushed past, and the cold light flashed as they waved their spears, which was frightening.

The warhorse under his crotch galloped and leaped, its iron hooves crushing the earth and raising clouds of dust.

Seeing that the enemy's defenses were in disarray, the Iron Wall Guards were greatly encouraged. They brandished their spears and giant shields and advanced like a torrent of steel.

Every thrust of the spear was precise and powerful, and every impact of the huge shield made the enemy tremble with fear.

The steps were firm and powerful, as if he wanted to trample the entire battlefield under his feet.

The Xuanqi Cavalry used their mobility to move flexibly on the battlefield.

Sometimes they charged into battle, sometimes they made outflanking attacks, causing great trouble to the Halberd Corps.

The fine steel spear and fine steel round shield in his hand sparkled in the sun. Every time he swung the spear, there was a sharp sound of wind, and every time he struck the shield, it made the enemy uneasy.

At this moment, the battlefield has become a sea of ​​chaos and killing.

The fighters on both sides fought with all their might, their figures were looming in the smoke, and every fight was full of determination and courage.

The joint offensive of the Tiebi Guards and the Xuanhu Cavalry swept across the battlefield like a violent storm, putting the Great Halberd Corps into an unprecedented predicament.

"Hold on! Don't retreat!"

The captain in front of the Halberd Corps shouted at the top of his lungs to maintain the stability of the front line.

However, under the fierce attack of the Tiebi Guards and the Xuanqi Cavalry, their defense line had begun to become somewhat precarious.

Many halberd warriors fell in the battle and were then trampled under the feet of their comrades in the rear.

The Tiebi Guards and the Xuanqi Cavalry did not stop their advance because of the enemy's stubborn resistance.

Relying on their strong fighting power and tacit cooperation, they gradually surrounded the Halberd Corps.

Every collision seemed to completely destroy the opponent's defense, and every swing of the sword carried deadly murderous intent.

At this moment on the battlefield, Zhang He, the commander who was in the halberd formation, had a firm and calm look in his eyes.

Seeing the enemy troops surrounding him from both sides, Zhang He showed no fear. He took a deep breath and ordered in a deep voice: "Change the formation! Use a circular formation to resist the enemy, with the halberds facing outwards and the shields defending!"

Although his voice was not loud, it revealed an unquestionable majesty.

Following Zhang He's order, the halberd soldiers acted quickly. Although they were tired, they were well-trained and completed the change of formation in an instant.

The halberd warriors formed a tight circle with Zhang He as the center. The halberds were like a forest and the shields were like a wall, forming an indestructible line of defense.

When the Tiebi Guards and the Xuanqi Cavalry saw the enemy change their formation, their offensive slowed down slightly, but did not stop.

They knew that this was the critical moment to decide victory and they must not give the enemy a chance to breathe.

Then, an even more fierce attack surged towards the circular formation of the Halberd Corps like a tide.

Spears intertwined, shields collided, and the atmosphere on the battlefield became increasingly tense.

The huge shields of the Iron Wall Guards were like moving city walls, approaching the circular formation of the Halberd Soldiers step by step; while the Black Cavalry used their mobility to move flexibly on the battlefield, looking for a breakthrough.

However, the halberd soldiers led by Zhang He did not panic. They relied on the power of the circular formation and repelled the attacks of the two armies time and time again.

Zhang He was in the formation, always observing the dynamics of the battlefield. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and no flaw could escape his eyes.

"Iron shield, move forward! Halberd out!"

Zhang He kept shouting, inspiring the soldiers like a war drum.
