on the battlefield

The Jin soldiers around the catapult also understood the intentions of the Beiliang army, and more than 2,000 infantrymen who were urgently gathered formed a horse-rejecting formation more than a hundred steps in front of the catapult.

The soldiers in the front row held round shields, and the soldiers in the back row held scimitars. They did not even carry long spears.

These were the only men and horses left around the catapults. They were usually responsible for controlling these catapults. How could they have expected that one day they would form a formation to resist the horses.

These infantry are all golden soldiers. They are very familiar with cavalry combat. Of course they know that they are just trying to do this, and they cannot prevent the cavalry from charging. But what can they do now?

The hands of many golden soldiers holding shields were trembling slightly, and the rumble of horse hooves struck their hearts like the death knell of the god of death.

Xie Xiaolei's figure swayed slightly with the ups and downs of the war horse, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. In his eyes, the sparse horse-rejecting formation in front was simply vulnerable.

Before approaching the horse-rejecting formation, Xie Xiaolei tightened the reins, sat down and the horse immediately roared, leaped high with its hooves, and then stepped down suddenly.

"boom!"

The shields were all shattered under the trampling of the horses' hooves, and even the golden soldiers holding the shields were shocked to the point of vomiting blood and died.

After the horse's hoof hit the ground, Xie Xiaolei thrust his spear, killing two golden soldiers one after another, and continued to run forward.

The Beiliang Army in the front row jumped up almost at the same time as Xie Xiaolei, their horses' hooves trampled heavily on the shields in the front row, and the huge impact of the horses instantly knocked the enemy horse array into pieces.

All the shield-bearing soldiers in the front row of the Jin people died almost instantly.

In the eyes of the Northern Liang cavalry, a horse-repelling formation without tall shields and spears was like a lamb to be slaughtered.

Before the golden soldiers behind the shield could react, more than 1,600 men led by Bian Luan rushed into the infantry formation.

Although these new soldiers from Jianmen Pass fought on horseback for the first time, they all had fierce eyes. The Northern Liangdao in their hands still slashed out without hesitation. It might not be so accurate to cut the throat of the golden soldier, but at least it

It can cut a bloody gash in the golden soldier's body.

For these people in Liaodong, there is nothing more satisfying than killing the Jin soldiers with their own hands.

After the horse-rejecting formation was broken, nearly a thousand cavalry under Xie Xiaolei's command began to cruise around, killing the fleeing Jin soldiers, while Bian Luan behind him led 1,600 cavalry towards the unguarded

Catapult.

After Bianluan got close to the catapults, he discovered that there was something unexpected. There were not only catapults, but also many siege cloud vehicles. Apparently the Jin soldiers used this place as a temporary place to store ordnance.

Bian Luan laughed loudly, and without hesitation took off the fire oil cans tied to both sides of the horse's back, and threw it with one hand. The fire oil cans slid through the air in a beautiful arc and then landed on the surface of the catapult.

"Bang!"

The tank breaks and the oil comes out!

The new soldiers of Jianmen Pass behind him also followed the same example and started galloping along the catapult position, constantly throwing the kerosene cans in their hands, and the sound of thunder and banging was heard.

Within two sticks of incense, all the catapults and siege cloud vehicles were covered with kerosene, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of kerosene.

The nearly two thousand soldiers who stayed behind were also killed by Xie Xiaolei. As for the Beiliang army who luckily escaped, they didn't bother to catch up.

The infantry, which have no formation, no morale, and even no general, are really no different from dead men in the eyes of the cavalry.

Xie Xiaolei, who had been killed happily, stood on his horse with a smile on his face, and the Beiliang knife in his hand was still dripping with blood.

He looked through the night sky towards the Jinbing camp in the distance, where countless torches were flashing and there were faint shouts.

It can be seen that there are cavalry running towards here. Apparently the Jin soldiers in the camp have received the news and are coming to support.

Lieutenant Xu Yan reined in his horse and came to Xie Xiaolei's side. He wiped the blood on the blade and said, "General, it's time for us to leave. Jin Bing has already reacted."

Xie Xiaolei nodded and shouted towards Bian Luan's figure not far away: "Brother Bian! The wind is tight! Pull!"

Bian Luan, who heard the shouting, also looked into the distance, and then he took out a fire folder from his arms with a grin, and when he touched it lightly, flames flew everywhere.

The rising flames kept jumping, as if they couldn't wait any longer.

Bian Luan just casually threw the fire certificate into a catapult next to him.

With a sound of "Teng!", the fire instantly engulfed the entire catapult. Then, as the surrounding soldiers continued to throw out fire bombs, raging fires rose up in the night. Dozens of catapults and cloud carts

All were set on fire.

"Haha, let's go!" Bian Luan looked at the fire all over the sky and laughed loudly. He reined up his horse and turned around, leading his soldiers towards the city gate.

Sheng Nankui on the top of the city looked up to the sky and laughed when he saw the fire in the distance: "It's done! Blow the trumpet!"

"Woo~wu~wu~"

The loud sound of the trumpet came from the top of the city and spread throughout the entire battlefield in an instant. The Beiliang cavalrymen who heard the sound of the horn did not hesitate to put away their swords and turned back. They went straight back to the city regardless of the surviving Jin soldiers.

When you hear the trumpet, immediately withdraw your troops and leave the remaining soldiers alone. This is the order given by Chen Yue before leaving the city.

After all, the goal of this battle is the catapult, not to kill the infantry. There are 70,000 to 80,000 golden soldiers outside the city, and even a few thousand cavalry cannot kill them all.

In the blink of an eye, cavalry from various battlefields outside the city quickly poured into the city, leaving only corpses on the ground.

Jin Bing, who had just arrived on the battlefield from the camp, was stunned and lost his mind.

Only dozens of blazing fires were left in the original catapult position, and there were surviving soldiers stumbling back everywhere, all with sad faces.

The fire was so fierce that within a short time the catapults and siege cloud vehicles were burned and collapsed to the ground. Even if the Jin soldiers wanted to put out the fire, it was too late.

"Snoring."

A Jinbing cavalry general swallowed, knowing that something big was going on. He turned to look at the other general next to him in confusion and asked, "What should I do?"

This general knew the importance of catapults and cloud chariots, but they were all burned out at once. How could he continue to fight the siege?

"You ask me? What can I do?" Another general looked full of grief and anger.

According to Wan Yanliang's temper, these two people would not be scolded when they go back.

"Are you still chasing me?"

"What a chase! Everyone has disappeared, so what's the use of us cavalry chasing them to the city gate!"

"Then go back like this?"

"Oh! What else can I do? Just scold me."

The two generals stared with helpless expressions as they looked at the fires burning around them. Who would have thought that the Beiliang Army, which had been huddled in the city for so long, would suddenly come out and burn the catapults.

The two generals who had been stunned for a long time had no choice but to lead their troops back to the camp, leaving some soldiers behind to contain the defeated troops. After all, the battle happened very quickly, and the siege army was not completely wiped out.
