Chapter 396: Powerful and Defeatable! [Subscribe]

The tens of thousands of Xianbei troops were in loose formation.

They did this deliberately to facilitate cavalry combat.

The two wings of its array stretched forward like a giant bird spreading its wings.

Behind the two wings were small groups of Xianbei cavalry.

Whenever the war horn sounded, these cavalrymen would charge out in teams.

The loose formation allows them to quickly step out and respond to changes.

Their way of deploying troops is to tear apart and divide the opponent from all directions.

Even in a head-on confrontation, they rarely engaged the Han army in a direct offensive, but instead used light cavalry to penetrate and attack the Wei army, giving full play to the advantages of light cavalry.

Unless forced, they would not engage in a direct positional battle.

woo-

Amid the sound of battle trumpets, two teams of a thousand men stepped out to meet the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and Heavy Cavalry on the opposite side.

The Xianbei soldiers who came out were also the elite soldiers of the royal tent, and each of them had excellent riding skills.

As they galloped, they changed and gathered, adjusting according to the direction of the Wei army's charge, looking for the most advantageous angle to engage in battle with the Wei army.

There was also a leather bag hanging on the side of the Xianbei soldiers' horses.

It was filled with stone bullets.

They caught the stone bullets in leather bags and swung them quickly while running, which was a supplement to bows and arrows.

This kind of stone bullet has amazing accuracy, and within a certain distance, its attack power is not inferior to that of a bow and crossbow.

The two armies fired at each other while galloping, and the distance between them was rapidly closing.

The Xianbei soldiers used a small angle to change direction, avoiding the front of Cao's army and rushing into the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and Heavy Cavalry at an oblique angle.

Judging from their position, the Xianbei soldiers had the upper hand as soon as the battle started.

"The Han cavalry has never made any progress. They can only clumsily form a formation and charge straight ahead!"

Behind Yiluotudu, there were several Xianbei generals who were paying attention to the battlefield.

Shenzhou was still in the midst of war a few years ago, and not many people knew how to ride horses.

Compared with the nomadic cavalry on the grassland, they are indeed far inferior in flexibility.

But the situation changed once the two sides engaged in battle.

The Xianbei soldiers were like a pack of galloping wolves, attacking in separate groups, but what they encountered was a ferocious tiger.

They came up from the flank.

The heavy cavalry just charged forward without taking any action, but the Xianbei soldiers felt an invisible force flowing around the heavy cavalry, and even the void seemed to be distorted.

As their war horses approached, they let out a tragic neigh, stumbled, and fell to their knees.

The moment the horse fell, the heavy cavalry suddenly attacked and stabbed forward with their spears.

A dull sound.

The Xianbei soldiers were pierced by the big spears one after another.

Now this heavy cavalry has evolved into a mythical military destiny!

The force they gathered together, with murderous intent, formed a storm that circulated around the entire team, sweeping in anyone who got close.

Four or five feet outside the formation, the gravity of the space and the surging swordsmanship were like a layer of energy.

In front.

Dian Wei led the team and instantly tore a hole in the enemy's formation.

In the area where the Xianbei and Dian Wei came into contact, men and horses were thrown around like grass stalks.

He took out a large double halberd, stretched out his hand and thrust it, and with infinite force, the opponent and his horse were thrown into the air.

After the Xianbei soldiers engaged in the battle, they were quickly defeated.

On the other side, Xu Chu led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and was also fighting with the Xianbei soldiers.

He also held a huge spear in his hand.

He was not good at using a spear, but the spear was useful in horse battles. If he was not good at using it, he could make up for it with strength.

Click!

A Xianbei soldier used a leather shield to block and tried to deflect the horse spear that Xu Chu stabbed at him, but both the man and the shield were pierced through.

Xu Chu lifted up a neighboring Xianbei soldier and his horse horizontally, raised them on his spear, and swung them left and right.

The Xianbei team of a thousand men was immediately broken away by Cao Wei's light and heavy cavalry.

In the rear, all the Xianbei generals who were watching the battle fell silent.

Their advantages in combat and the flexibility of their cavalry were all wiped out by the bravery of Cao's army.

The lethality of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Heavy Cavalry was shocking to the enemy.

"Those are the Han people's royal troops."

Yiluo Tuodu waved his hand and said, "Tuobang, Duoji, you two lead the troops and go stop them."

Two brave generals also rushed out from the Xianbei formation and faced the Wei army.

War drums beat.

Ma Chao and Pang De each led their troops and charged on both sides of the central army.

Cao Wei's central army was an infantry force.

The front row held large shields, the back row held long halberds, and the third row held spears.

The three rows were staggered, and the entire army formation was like a machine with its gears meshing with each other, pushing forward steadily.

This formation of outer shields and inner soldiers is a mountain-shaped formation summarized from China's thousand-year history of war.

You can fight near or far.

Not afraid of the impact of any type of troops.

Ma Chao and Pang De guarded the two sides of the main formation and fought against the enemy troops who tried to attack from the flanks.

Rumble!
Cao Cao struck the war drum with all his might, and the sound of the drum shook heaven and earth.

The ground was shaking with the sound of war drums.

The entire battlefield was filled with vibrating gravel.

Ripples appeared in the void.

Woo-woo!

The Xianbei scouts on the opposite side blew a war horn with one long and two short beats to convey Yiluo Tuodu's orders and mobilize troops.

But the signalman who blew the war bugle suddenly confused the battle information.

Disrupted by Cao Cao's drumbeats.

The war drums sounded like waves, their power continued to rise and became louder and louder.

The sound of the drums reached the ears of the Wei army like a brand.

The whole army advanced and retreated in unison under the command of the drums.

The sound was a strong distraction to the enemy's ears.

The Xianbei's battle cry for signaling troops gradually changed its tone.

Boom-boom!
Woo-woo!
The former is Cao Cao's drumbeat, and the latter is the Xianbei people's war horn. They are completely distracted and blow the war horn to follow the drumbeat. Whatever drum signal Cao Cao beats, the Xianbei soldiers blow the same war horn, exactly the same, out of control.

Ilotodu, Budugen immediately ordered a change of trumpeter, but the result was the same.

You have to know that on a large battlefield, the withdrawal of troops, advance and retreat, all depend on the sound of drums or horns to convey commands.

The horns were in disarray and communications could not be conveyed, so the Xianbei just fought blindly and lost unified command.

This problem is quite serious and the orders cannot reach the battlefield.

Ilotodu couldn't help but become flustered.

Control the battlefield with drum sounds and disrupt enemy orders!

Boom boom boom!
The rhythm of Cao Cao's drumbeats changed like a sudden rain hitting the ground, fast and dense.

This is a command for the entire army to advance and crush the enemy with thousands of horses.

The most interesting thing is that the Xianbei trumpeter also played the same tune.

On the battlefield, the Xianbei army suddenly fell into chaos.

The Wei army pushed forward on all fronts.

Ma Chao swung his spear and killed an opponent. The spear in his hand emitted a light of concentrated power.

and Pound, both of them keenly sensed the opportunity to defeat the enemy and went all out.

In front of the Xianbei commander's flag, among the thousands of troops, the heavy cavalry maintained the same speed from the moment they charged in, approaching Yiluotudu.

The Xianbei sent two brave generals to stop Dian Wei and Xu Chu.

When he got closer, he faced Dian Wei.

Dian Wei was the first to jump into the air and lashed out with his halberd at the opponent.

This halberd brought together the forces of more than seventy cavalrymen, blending their martial arts together.

The Xianbei general was also amazing. He actually caught the incoming force of Dian Wei's halberd and blocked it with his spear.

However, it was broken along with the spear by Dian Wei's halberd.

The weapon carried by the halberd suddenly became more powerful, and the cold light flashed in all directions.

Half of the enemy general's face was torn into pieces by the halberd's tip.

It was as if an explosion had occurred around it due to the expansion of qi.

The cold light stretched out, piercing through the void for several feet, strangling several Xianbei soldiers.

The power of this blow was shocking.

Next to Yiluotudu, Budugen, stood an unusually tall figure.

Afu Yu sent Qifu Shitu and Chilu Han to protect Tuoba Jiefen.

There is also a skilled player of the same level here in Yiluotudu, named Yiqiluo.

The beard on his chin and his hair are slightly yellowish. He is tall and strong, and seems to have some Hu blood.

He looked at Dian Wei from a distance, his brows tightly furrowed.

Suddenly, Yiqi Luo opened his mouth and exhaled, taking deep breaths.

There was a rhythm of energy behind him that was connecting heaven and earth.

His body slowly expanded, his muscles bulged, and he became as tall as a giant.

The next moment, Yi Qi Luo soared into the air like a giant bird and flew towards Dian Wei.

At this time, on the flank of the battlefield, a team of Xianbei scouts galloped on horseback, approached the general's flag, and brought an urgent message.

A Han army is coming up from the west and approaching the battlefield!
Huang Zhong, with a broadsword in hand, led his troops from several miles away on the western side of the battlefield, revealing his whereabouts.

He came here listening to the war drums and laughed:

“It was the King himself beating the drum!
I said the drum beats were so powerful that the Xianbei people were completely silenced!"

When he was a hundred feet close to the battlefield, he stepped off his horse and into the air.

There seemed to be an invisible ladder in the void, carrying his footsteps, making it extremely easy for him to walk.

A distance of a hundred feet was crossed in the blink of an eye with his feet.

Yi Qi Luo, who was originally rushing towards Dian Wei, quietly stopped and turned to look at Huang Zhong.

At this moment, Huang Zhong gathered all his strength and swung his sword. A blade light that could cut through the sky and split the earth broke off from the blade. It was actually more than ten feet long and penetrated from above.

The Xianbei soldiers below were in an uproar, and both their men and their horses were covered in sword beams.

The power of this knife is rarely seen in the world!

Yiqi Luo's pupils contracted, and he turned back in the air and returned to Yiluotudu's side.

He obviously realized the crisis and gave up fighting with Dian Wei.

Huang Zhong's sword strike was intended to intimidate the enemy and boost the morale of his own side.

The 15,000 troops he led rushed into the battlefield with great momentum.

The Han army was approaching from the flank. Why didn't the Xianbei scouts give the warning earlier?
Because of Cao Cao's drumbeats, the warning call from afar was also covered by the drumbeats. Yiluo Tuodu and others didn't hear it at all, so they were unable to respond in time.

When Huang Zhong charged into the battlefield.

The flank of the Xianbei army was attacked and chaos broke out.

"The entire army moves back and stabilizes the formation."

Ilotodu tried his best to shout, but was drowned out by the sound of the drums again.

Cao Cao, who was behind the Wei army, waved his arm to stimulate the country's destiny. The ripples in the space around the drum surface became more and more obvious.

The void seemed to be shattered.

The Xianbei had a big weakness. Even though the territory they ruled was large, their national fortune could not compare to that of Cao Wei, which was about to unify China.

They were a regime formed by a tribal alliance.

The gathered fortune was also dispersed by these tribes.

When Cao Cao mobilized the country's destiny and beat the drum, even the royal tent tribe was far inferior to him.

In a panic, Iluoto grabbed the horn himself and blew it with all his might. The sound was barely audible to the entire army.

The Xianbei army began to retreat, shrinking their formation, and trying to hold their ground.

Boom boom boom!
The drums get louder.

After Huang Zhong, a group of soldiers also rushed over from the direction of Bingzhou on the east side.

Zhao Yun went north to attack Tuoba Jiefen, an important town in Bingzhou, and Taishi Ci led the troops.

The one leading the troops coming from the east was Taishi Ci.

He and Huang Zhong, one east and one west, galloped towards each other, like two pairs of scissors, strangling the Xianbei army.

In Taishi Ci's hands, arrows flew like rain.

There were also more than 10,000 soldiers and horses rushing into the battlefield.

The entire Xianbei army began to fall into chaos.

"Captain, give the order to withdraw the troops. Let's leave quickly." Budugen said with a changed face.

As soon as the Wei troops on both sides entered the game, he and Yiluo Tuodu both realized that the defeat was inevitable and could no longer be reversed.
