 "Hold!"

"You must keep it!"

"Even if it's not for myself;" Liu Chan swore secretly: "For these lovely people, I must defend this Jinyang City."

As an emperor, he can be so supported by the people.

Liu Chan is really excited.

Of course——

It was also because of the words of these people that Liu Chan worked even harder. He had to defend this city.

Naturally, it is also for himself.

Otherwise, if the city is captured, as the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Cao Rui will not show any mercy to him.

"Death by a thousand cuts?"

"Parading through the streets?"

"Fried, fried, fried?"

"..."

"Hmm!"

"It should be possible."

And Liu Chan could also see that this time he really pushed Cao Rui into a panic, otherwise he wouldn't have come to the battlefield in person.

"Let's all run."

"Quick."

"Quick, quick, quick!"

"..."

Liu Chan kept urging, and it seemed that only his voice was louder at the city gate, and it was completely impossible to tell that he was an emperor.

For example, not far outside the city, Cao Rui, who is also the emperor, seems much quieter at the moment. He sits quietly in the Chinese army formation, staring intently at the battlefield ahead.

The soldiers of the Wei army continued to launch fierce attacks on the head of Jinyang City, while the Han army at the head of Jinyang City, led by General Wei Yan, put up a desperate resistance.

Just——

The battle lasted for two or three hours, but it was still difficult for the Wei army to climb to the top of the city. Almost always when they were about to reach the top of the city, they were ruthlessly beaten down by the Han army.

The battle of Jinyang is fiercely fought.

But the most tragic battlefield was not in Jinyang City; because at the same time, the 50,000 Han troops who had crossed the boundary mountain to aid Jinyang had just arrived near Qixian County in central Jinyang, and happened to encounter Sima Division who was also rushing to aid Jinzhong. .

Sima Shi was ordered by Sima Yi to lead 50,000 elite troops from Zhecheng Mountain into Shangdang to join Cao Rui. However, when he arrived at Shangdang, he learned that Emperor Cao Rui had led his army to Shanxi two days ago. Yang.

The emperor had already gone to Jinyang, so Sima Shi naturally did not dare to neglect, and immediately led the army to Jinyang.

But as soon as he arrived near Qixian County, he received news that a Han army of tens of thousands had just crossed the boundary mountain and rushed to Jinyang to kill.

"Reinforcements!"

"Reinforcements from the Han Dynasty?"

Sima Shi's first reaction was that these soldiers and horses must be the Han army that came from Hedong. It seemed that his father had really guessed it right. Xu Shu deliberately sat in Hedong personally in order to attract the main force of the Wei Dynasty, and then he quietly went to

Jinyang sends additional reinforcements.

Hiss——

Master Sima couldn't help but shudder. Fortunately, his father had foresight. Otherwise, the army would have continued to attack Hedong. If he had waited until Hedong was captured before rushing to Jinzhong to aid, the emperor would have become a prisoner of the Han army.

"Kill!"

Sitting in the formation, Master Sima shouted loudly and commanded the army to kill the Han army, which was not yet firmly on its footing. He wanted to catch the Han army by surprise.

If we defeat this Han army here.

Hum——

Liu Chan?

Just wait to be captured.

Fifty thousand Wei troops faced 50,000 Han troops. Both sides had equal strength. The Han army consisted of 40,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry.

The main force of the Wei army led by Sima Division is also 50,000, and there are also a lot of cavalry. Strictly speaking, the number is even more than that of the Han army. The Wei army has nearly 20,000 cavalry and three to five infantry.

Near Qixian County, there is an empty wilderness.

"Kill!"

The first to go out was the Wei cavalry. They were howling and screaming, and they went straight to kill the Han army that had just arrived.

"Meet the enemy!"

"Meet the enemy!"

The veteran general Zhao Yunke was also battle-hardened. Although he had just arrived and faced a sudden attack from the Wei army, he remained calm and calm: "Tong Zhao!"

"The end is here!"

Zhao Tong immediately drove his horse forward, and Zhao Yun said seriously: "If you lead your own cavalry to fight, you will definitely defeat this Cao Wei cavalry."

"No!"

Zhao Tong immediately agreed, and then led eight thousand cavalry at the head of the horse, and rushed directly towards the nearly 20,000 Wei cavalry.

"Change!"

Not long after he rushed out, Zhao Tong shouted loudly.

In an instant, the eight thousand Han cavalry were quickly divided into three teams. Zhao Tong was in the middle and continued to charge towards the Wei army. On his left and right were two cavalry captains, Wang Yu and Zhong Yi.

Wang Yu led two thousand men straight to the left flank of the Wei army and detoured, while Zhong Yi went around to the right flank of the Wei army.

Obviously the number was not as large as that of the Wei army, but when he saw that the Han army had divided into three groups, the Wei army's cavalry general was immediately overjoyed. He did not follow the Han army's path to divide and attack, but went straight to Zhao Tong's group in the middle of the Han army.

People and horses are coming to kill.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

This Wei knight, he thought very simply, that is, Zhao Tong is in the middle army, and he is naturally the leader of this cavalry. As long as he is defeated, the Han troops on both sides, who are obviously much smaller in number, will also

It's not that important.

Defeat each one.

Just——

Just as the Wei army was desperately charging towards Zhao Tong, Wang Yu and Zhong Yi, who were on the left and right sides, had already circled to both sides of the Wei army.

"Kill!"

The two men shouted almost at the same time, and then thousands of Han troops immediately rode on horseback and shot arrows. They were only thirty or fifty steps away from the Wei army, and they kept running on both sides, firing arrows at the same time.

"???"

All the Wei troops were immediately shocked. The cavalry was mainly used for charging, and even for archery, there were only a handful of them.

But...this Han army...all can ride and shoot, and their archery skills are amazing.

"Kill!"

Zhong Yi and Wang Yu succeeded, and Zhao Tong immediately commanded the remaining four thousand cavalry to continue charging. They waved their sabers one by one and rushed into the Wei army's cavalry formation at lightning speed.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The Han knights were like no one in a desert. Their horses were equipped with more practical stirrups and saddles. The cavalry could have their hands free by riding on their horses. When they encountered the Wei troops, they would immediately kill them with their sabers.

But what about Wei Jun?

Although the horses of the Wei army's cavalry were also equipped with stirrups and saddles, their stirrups and saddles were not as practical as those of the Han army.

Especially their saddles.

The saddles of the Wei army did not have saddle bridges. When the horses were galloping, the knights needed to hold the horse's mane tightly with one hand. Even so, the people on the horse still swayed back and forth.

But the Han army is different. The Han army's saddles have a saddle bridge, and the knight is stuck on the saddle, which is very stable.

Of course——

The Han army also went through several years of hard training before they could ride horses so easily and contentedly.

This was a disaster for Cao Wei’s cavalry.

They originally thought of relying on their numerical advantage to deal with nearly 20,000 cavalry against less than 10,000 Han cavalry. Isn't this a success?

But as soon as the two armies engaged in battle, the two cavalrymen on the periphery fired arrows continuously, causing the Wei cavalry to pay a lot of casualties.

Now the Han army rushed into the formation and hacked and killed the Wei army indiscriminately.

"Withdraw!"

"Quickly retreat!"

After just two battles, the Wei cavalry general felt fear. He did not dare to continue fighting or continue killing like this.

This Wei cavalry——I'm afraid...I'm afraid the whole army will be annihilated.
