Chapter 128 The battle is fierce

Bai Li was stunned when he witnessed all this and couldn't believe it at all.

The Kangju people collapsed faster than expected. In just a few minutes, the most powerful cavalry in the Hezhong area collapsed.

Some of the lucky ones who survived also kept shouting and fled into the distance, completely losing their courage to fight.

Zhang Yue also received information from Mahan at this time. He ordered the Chinese cavalry to mount the bridge from the front and attack the defenders from a flanking position.

"Enter……"

The highly morale Han cavalry, assisted by infantry, attacked the defenders.

The harsh situation of being attacked from both front and back put the defenders in a completely desperate situation.

Although they fought hard, they were quickly defeated.

The Han army finally succeeded in occupying the bridgehead.

"Second and third sons, cross the river quickly!"

After occupying the bridgehead position, the Chinese army passed the boundary bridge as quickly as possible.

When Bai Li led the defeated troops back to the chariot formation.

Most of the soldiers on the coalition side have not yet put on their armor.

"Bai Li, what's going on?"

Liju and the coalition generals quickly came out to Liju to learn about the battle situation.

"Your Highness, the boundary bridge has been lost!"

Bai Li cried sadly

"What should I do now?"

All eyes in the camp were staring at Liju.

Liju didn't know what to do for a while, so he had to let the generals discuss it.

"This must be a large-scale attack by the Han army..."

"No, no, no... this should be just a tentative attack, otherwise Bai Li would have no chance of escaping back..."

What followed was a heated debate. Some people thought this was a large-scale attack by the Han people, while others thought it was a tentative attack.

The generals in each department became more and more excited as they talked, but most people still believed that the entire army should counterattack immediately before the Han army had a firm foothold.

"Your Highness, no matter what the Han people want to do, we must take back the boundary bridge as soon as possible..."

Most of the generals agreed to recapture the bridge as soon as possible to prevent the Han army from advancing directly.

Li Ju believed that the Han army would not engage in a decisive battle as soon as they came up, but might have other strategies.

At the same time, the devastating combat power of the Han cavalry just now frightened him.

While Liju was still hesitant, the Han army had completed the crossing operation.

At the same time, Guo Kai also crossed the river on a raft in the south, and with him were a thousand elite cavalry.

After hesitating for a long time, Liju finally made up his mind.

Liju was sitting on the horse, pointing his sword at an angle and shouting loudly.

"Warriors, you are the most powerful warriors under the sky... Now the Han people want to take away your wealth, women, and land... Anyone who beheads the Han army will be rewarded with five pieces of cloth and silk and a female slave... Kill the Han army's capital

I was given the title of Bo... I was rewarded with a hundred cattle and sheep... I killed a marquis of the Han army... I was granted the title of Marquis of Xi..."

"Warriors, attack and let the Han people know who is the strongest warrior..."

"Attack! Attack!"

The coalition forces came out to meet the enemy! Li Ju personally led them out of the car formation surrounded by iron chains and rushed towards the Han army that had just crossed the bridge.

The coalition's team was quite majestic, with elite Kangju light cavalry on the left and right.

These cavalry are skilled in bows and horses, and can move quickly. Their combat effectiveness is no less than that of the Huns' cavalry.

In the center is the infantry regiment composed of Kucha people. They are large in number, equipped with spears, swords and shields, and are densely packed in a compact formation.

The forwards were Gumo heavy infantry and Cypriot mercenaries.

At this time, the Han army had just completed the river crossing operation, and the formation was not neat.

In addition, there are obstacles left by the coalition forces everywhere here, which also severely restricts cavalry operations.

Such terrain made it impossible for the Han cavalry to perform a wall charge.

As soon as Zhang Yue had time to reorganize the team that had finished crossing the bridge, he was faced with the rapid offensive of the coalition forces.

"Form up to meet the enemy!"

"Form up to meet the enemy!"

Before the Han army could set up its formation, the coalition forces had already arrived.

The first to attack was the light cavalry of the Kangju people.

Perhaps in order to wash away their shame, they acted very bravely this time.

Because the infantry formation had not yet been deployed, Zhang Yue had to let the cavalry attack to intercept the attacking Western Region Allied Forces.

"Second and third sons, come in!"

Not to be outdone, the Han cavalry also launched a counterattack.

However, due to terrain restrictions, the Han cavalry could not give full play to its advantages.

The Han army's crossbowmen had not formed an arrow formation at this time, so it was difficult to suppress the coalition's attack.

"Warriors, come on, kill a Han and reward a slave girl and five pieces of cloth..."

Stimulated by the generous bounty, Kangju's cavalry bravely braved the rain of arrows from the Han army to break into the Han army's cavalry formation, and started close combat with the Han army with their spears and sabers.

While the cavalry on both sides was fighting in a melee, the infantry of the coalition forces also rushed up. This overwhelmed the Han army.

As the commander-in-chief, Zhang Yue keenly discovered the unfavorable situation on the battlefield.

The enemy troops were not only outnumbered but also highly motivated. The area was also narrow and restricted, making it impossible to maneuver and demonstrate the maneuverability advantage of the Han cavalry.

He realized that the right time and location for this battle were in the hands of the enemy.

Although he was aware of the problem, he had no good solution for the moment when facing the surging coalition forces.

We cannot retreat, as retreating at this time will lead to disastrous consequences.

We can only repel this wave of enemy attacks first and then make adjustments.

At this time, on the battlefield, the Kangju people became more and more courageous as they fought. Perhaps escaping from the obstructive car formation made them feel that they were finally freed from their constraints.

The feeling of running on the grassland and charging into battle inspired the primitive impulse in the blood.

They screamed like their ancestors, raised their spears and charged towards the enemy.

The coalition forces, which originally had a numerical advantage, now expanded their formation and attacked from a wide front.

The Han army as a whole was exhausted, and the center of the Han army was forced to retreat continuously.

Mahan's troops on the right wing were also in a bad situation. The narrow terrain greatly restricted the movement of the cavalry.

The cavalry was unable to move and had to dismount and engage in foot combat with the enemy.

Zhang Yue felt increasingly critical that the situation was critical, but the front lines were already anxious.

Waves of strong attacks by the coalition forces finally broke the Han cavalry defense line.

The archers who were originally good at roaming, riding and shooting, and the lancers who were good at breaking formations and assaults were blocked in front and back due to the close combat, and they couldn't even run their horses, so they were unable to carry out an effective attack on the enemy.

The allied cavalry and infantry continued to break through, and more and more Han soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

"Two or three sons, hold on!"

Fortunately, the Han army was well-trained. Although they were forced to retreat step by step, they never collapsed.

"This won't work, we must fight back!" Zhang Yue thought calmly

But at this time, the two sides were completely fighting together, making it difficult to mobilize any army.

At this time, a Kangju cavalry team noticed Zhang Yue's location.

They broke through the Han army in front of them and roared towards Zhang Yue.

At this moment, a Han cavalry general led a group of Han cavalry and came from the flank.

He watched as he led his troops to fight left and right, fighting bravely, and it turned out to be Mark.

When he was relieved, he saw enemy soldiers gathering from all sides, with swords and guns flying up and down. Mark was injured and fell off his horse. In the blink of an eye, he was overwhelmed by the coalition soldiers.

Zhang Yue, who had been invincible since joining the army, encountered such a situation for the first time. Zhang Yue was not afraid but raised the Huanshou knife in his hand.

"Second and third sons, follow me to kill the enemy..."
