Chapter 210: Southern superior soldiers versus Western Liang cavalry!
Chapter 210: Southern elite soldiers versus Western Liang cavalry!
Where the Wu-Chu coalition forces are located,
People shouted and horses neighed, and the troops were lined up in battle formation.
White-eared soldiers,
Shanyue soldiers,
Danyang soldiers,
They were stacked up layer upon layer, spreading out in all directions, forming a battle formation, and a murderous aura rose into the sky.
Under the banner of the central army, Liu Wu sat on his horse, looking into the distance ahead, where Ma Chao's camp was located. Taishi Ci had just returned from there.
"Ma Chao is arrogant and speaks rudely to His Majesty the King of Chu." Taishi Ci knelt on one knee with a look of shame on his face: "I am incompetent. Not only did I not allow Ma Chao to come to pay homage to the King of Chu, I also fought with Ma Chao. I fought with him for 120 rounds..."
"Lost!"
The four generals of Jiangdong followed Liu Wu's northern expedition at the order of Sun Quan and made great achievements.
Now that Taishi Ci was defeated by the enemy's main general, he not only lost his own face and Liu Wu's face, but also the face of King Sun Quan of Wu and the entire Jiangdong!
How could Taishi Ci not feel ashamed?
"It's okay..." Liu Wu said calmly, "Ma Chao is a brave and valiant man, rarely seen in the world. It's already rare that Ziyi could fight him for 120 rounds."
"Besides, Ma Er is unruly. I never expected him to come to visit me."
The King of Chu never intended to let Ma Chao come to pay a visit?
Taishi Ci looked up in surprise.
Liu Wu continued, "What I want is only to let Ziyi buy time for the army to arrange its troops."
Liu Wu slowly raised his hand...
woohoo~
dong dong dong~
The vast sound of the horn resounded outside the city of Chang'an.
The heavy and exciting drum beats constantly inspired the soldiers to go into battle.
Boom! ~
As the central army of the King of Chu moved forward,
The dark Wu-Chu coalition forces surged forward endlessly, moving towards the Xiliang army camp ahead.
Wow! ~
The 20,000 Danyang soldiers, armed with spears and large shields, walked at the front, like a spreading black cloud.
The Bai'er Army followed closely behind, gathering like white clouds, in sharp contrast to the Danyang Army in front.
They carried bows and arrows, wore armor, and held heavy halberds in their hands.
They are the Wuling barbarians who have lived in the mountains for generations. They are all good archers raised in the mountains and forests, and they are all the bravest warriors!
Ten thousand Shanyue troops followed behind. They were originally barbarians in the mountains, just like the Wuling barbarians. However, after several battles in Xiling and Gan Ning's hard training, they were no less than real elite soldiers...
Under the banner of the Central Army,
Liu Wu's men and horses were all in armor, an iron man and an iron horse!
His eyes never strayed away from the Xiliang camp in the distance. He muttered to himself, "It's time to come out..."
Woohoo! ~
Another horn sounded from the opposite side, and the sound was filled with the desolation and heroism unique to the land of Xiliang.
Boom! ~
Dense masses of Xiliang cavalry swarmed out of the Xiliang camp.
Xilulu! ~
Endless cavalry, in neat formation, pressed towards the Wu-Chu coalition forces on the opposite side.
Clusters of spears gathered together like a forest.
The sharp sword reflected the sunlight above.
The war horses under his crotch kicked the ground impatiently. If it weren't for their master's control, they would have run wildly and recklessly.
call! ~
Amid the raging wind, the large "horse"-shaped flag of the central army made a loud noise.
Under the banner,
Ma Chao held a spear in his hand, looking at the Wu-Chu coalition army approaching him from afar, with a fighting spirit on his face: "It is said that Liu Zilie is a good fighter and even captured Cao Mengde alive."
"That's because he hasn't seen the strength of our Xiliang cavalry. This time, I will make him regret entering the pass!"
"Let him return Chang'an City to me in the same way he took it!"
……
Rumble~
The old capital of the Han Dynasty, outside the city of Chang'an.
The two armies are getting closer.
The flags were flying, and the glaring sight of swords and guns made it almost impossible to open one's eyes.
It was like two waves rushing towards each other, bound to create a sea of crimson waves.
The Wu-Chu coalition forces, under the central army banner.
Liu Wu issued an order: "Hold on and fight!"
woohoo~
The rhythm of the horn sound suddenly changed, and Liu Wu's military orders were passed down layer by layer...
"The King of Chu has ordered us to hold our ground and fight!"
"The King of Chu has ordered us to hold our ground and fight!"
"The King of Chu has ordered us to hold our ground and fight!"
boom! ~
The coalition forces, which were advancing, slowly stopped.
Tens of thousands of troops stood still, like a mountain!
Ma Dai looked at his brother beside him and said, "Brother, Liu Wu's army has stopped!"
Ma Chao saw through Liu Wu's intention at a glance: "He wants to use infantry against cavalry and block our attack. He really overestimates his own capabilities..."
"Since he wants to die, I will help him..."
"Pound, Madai, candidate!"
The three generals stepped forward and said, "I will be here!"
Ma Chao divided the 30,000 Xiliang cavalry into two parts, the front and the back, each part consisting of three armies with 5,000 men in each army.
The rear three armies were led by Ma Chao himself, and the front three armies were led by Pang De, Ma Dai and Wei You as the main generals.
Ma Chao: "You three, each lead an army, take turns charging forward and disrupting their formation!"
"Leader!"
Rumble~
"kill!"
"Kill them all!"
A large number of Xiliang cavalry, like a roaring flood, broke through the levee and rushed straight towards the Wu-Chu coalition forces on the opposite side. Pang De led his 5,000 infantrymen to the front.
The iron hooves roared like thunder, stirring up smoke and dust that covered the sky.
On the battlefield of the Wu-Chu coalition,
Twenty thousand Danyang soldiers were at the forefront, with their large shields gathered together and arranged like a wall.
The gaps in the shield were filled with layers of gun blades flashing with cold light.
They are Danyang soldiers who have experienced war.
They are the strongest soldiers in Jiangdong.
But the opponents of these 20,000 soldiers have always been on both sides of the river.
Today’s battle is the first one between the Jiangdong warriors and the Liangzhou elite in this northern land!
One in the south and one in the north, two powerful armies, which one is weaker or stronger will be revealed today.
In the Danyang Army,
Zhou Gongjin, Taishi Ci, Lu Meng and Ding Feng rode back and forth on horseback to personally supervise the battle.
This is the first battle fought by Jiangdong soldiers following Liu Wu in the Northern Expedition. Whether it will add glory to Jiangdong or bring shame to Jiangdong depends entirely on this battle!
Zhou Gongjin looked at the shadows whizzing in front of him and took a deep breath: "They are coming... prepare for battle!!"
Rumble~
Pang De's five thousand cavalrymen, like a gust of wind, rushed towards the Danyang soldiers at a rapid speed.
In the strong wind, Pang De screamed: "Draw your bow and shoot!!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh! ~
A sea of arrows shot out from the Xiliang cavalry formation.
Like a violent storm, it crashed down on the heads of the Danyang soldiers.
Zhou Yu waved his flag fiercely and said, "Go!"
Countless shields were raised above their heads.
Tuk-tuk-tuk! ~
Endless arrows hit the shields, and the huge impact force that erupted in that instant almost made the arms of the Danyang soldiers holding the shields numb.
"Uh!"
Occasionally, there were a few unlucky ones who were shot through the gaps in their shields, bleeding all over the place, and either died or were injured, but other shield-holding soldiers would immediately move forward to block his position.
The first wave of arrow rain ended, but the second wave of attack by the Xiliang cavalry had just begun.
"Raise your spear!" Pang De raised the spear in his hand while riding on the bumpy horse: "Throw!"
The hundred or so riders at the front almost simultaneously raised their spears and threw them out with all their might...
hum! ~
Densely packed spears, with a dull sound of breaking through the air, whistled and smashed towards the Danyang soldiers in the front.
Ding ding ding! ~
"what!"
The heavy spear came crashing down with tremendous force.
Many of the Danyang soldiers at the front were finally knocked to the ground, and a stronger and stronger smell of blood began to spread.
And the showdown between the Southern Army and the Liangzhou Cavalry has finally begun!
Zhou Yu, Taishi Ci and others immediately stepped forward to command the response:
"Block it! Block it forward!"
"The soldiers in the rear, push forward and fill the gap!"
"These are the only tricks they have! If we survive, they will be out of options!"
"Raise your shield! Don't stop!"
