"I am willing to fight to the death with you!"

"good!"

"Second and third sons, kill!"

Zhang Yue led his guards to meet Kang Ju's cavalry who was coming to kill them.

Suddenly, Zhang Yue felt as if he had returned to the time when he had just joined the army.

At this time, the face of a Kangju knight appeared in front of him.

Zhang Yue didn't make any unnecessary moves, he just pointed his sword diagonally.

As they passed each other, Zhang Yue turned slightly to avoid the opponent's scimitar.

The ring-shou knife in his hand cut across the enemy's body, and with the power of the horse's forward charge, it cut the enemy's body in half like cutting tofu...

Although Zhang Yue and his personal guards defeated this group of Kangju cavalry, they were unable to reverse the entire occupation.

The battle continued, but the situation became increasingly unfavorable to the Han army.

Even Zhang Yue's personal guards died in the battle, reaching more than 30 people, and the rest of the Han army also suffered heavy casualties.

Several officers hurriedly came to report to Zhang Yue. Everyone said that they should either withdraw their troops while the bridge was still in their hands, or quickly recall Guo Kaizhi's army for rescue.

Everyone knew that no matter what method was adopted, the army that had gone through a fierce battle for an hour could no longer sustain itself.

Victory or defeat can often be determined by a single thought, even if the army is as powerful as the Han army.

Zhang Yue turned around and asked, "What time is it now?"

"Two quarters past noon!" Zhao Guanghan replied affirmatively.

Zhang Yue calculated the time in his mind

"Send the order, everyone must hold the line and fight to the death!"

"Junhou?"

Zhao Guanghan hesitated for a moment, but finally went as promised.

They all followed Zhang Yue's order. Although some officers had objections, they still fully implemented the order.

"Second and third sons, hold your position and fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

The voices of junior officers of the Han army could be heard everywhere on the battlefield.

…

The fighting continued, and the situation became increasingly unfavorable to the Han army.

While Li Ju was rejoicing, a cry of surprise suddenly came from beside him.

Liju looked around and saw a large group of cavalry appearing on the hill to the south.

His heart thumped, "What's going on there? Could it be the Han army!"

…

What arrived was Guo Kai's troops who had detoured from the south.

Because of the construction of the raft, they arrived a little later than planned.

But now is the time.

"Second and third sons, change horses!"

"Cavalry formation!"

Guo Kai saw the situation on the battlefield at a glance. Although the situation was unfavorable to the Han army, it could still sustain it.

Guo Kai let out a long breath,

It took him a long time to cross the river, but he finally caught up with the decisive battle.

He did not delay and immediately issued the battle order.

"All troops attack!"

With a cold and stern face, he issued an order for the entire army to attack.

Guo Kai, who had been tempered by the flames of war, once again became the master of life and death on the battlefield.

He led the cavalry to launch an assault on the flank of the coalition forces.

The rumble of horse hooves alarmed the coalition soldiers in the fierce battle.

Looking from a distance, a few clouds of smoke and dust are rising to the east.

"Han cavalry!"

Exclamations rang out.

Faced with the sudden appearance of Han cavalry on the flanks, the coalition attacking troops were in panic.

Facing the charging Han cavalry, the Kangju cavalry on the flanks did not dare to resist, and many of the cavalry turned around and fled.

The cavalry's flight set off a chain reaction.

The Kucha infantry who followed Kangju's cavalry were also involved in the chaos.

Li Ju's heart suddenly jumped into the air. He had been worried that the prospect he had been trying to avoid might really come to pass.

When the coalition forces on the flanks were in chaos, the cavalry led by Guo Kai finally arrived roaring. They formed a dense formation, ran wildly on horseback, and broke into the flanks of the coalition forces with lightning speed.

This Han army's elite cavalry and fresh force quickly destroyed the coalition's right wing with the force of breaking bamboo.

After defeating the right wing, they did not stop and charged into the center of the coalition mercilessly.

The arrival of Guo Kai's troops neatly dismantled the allied offensive that had been surging just now and seemed to be engulfing everything.

Facing the sudden rise of the Han cavalry, the coalition forces were almost stunned. They were advancing forward just now, but they were suddenly attacked by enemy troops who came from nowhere.

Many people were killed before they had time to react, or were trampled to pieces by horses.

Liju, who was watching the battle from a distance, was all burned inside. He no longer cared and urgently ordered the entire army to retreat.

"Order the entire army to retreat and hold on to the vehicle formation!"

Liju tried to use the car formation to hold on, but the coalition did not fail. They still had a numerical advantage.

Wherever Guo Kai's military flag reached, the coalition forces retreated in a hurry. Seeing such a scene, Zhang Yue had mixed feelings.

This time he made the right bet, and Guo Kai did not disappoint him.

He waved to the troops with a ring-shaped sword in his hand, and loudly ordered: "Counterattack!"

When the order spread, the long-repressed Han soldiers roared, the horses finally galloped, and the bowstrings were finally fully drawn.

The Han army drove the coalition forces back to the south like chickens, until they all hid in the obstructive chain of cars.

Liju had no time to count the losses. He and the generals were busy deploying defenses. The frightened soldiers leaned behind the cart and finally felt a little more at ease.

Although the Han army repelled the coalition attack, Zhang Yue did not take it lightly.

The coalition forces still had a considerable numerical advantage. They stood in the middle of the circular vehicle formation and relied on trucks tightly connected with iron chains to block the Han cavalry attack.

Although they lost most of their crossbowmen, the remaining archers, with the cooperation of throwing spears, could barely prevent the Han army from attacking.

"Han Jiang...Guo Kai...Yang You..."

Zhang Yue issued orders one after another, surrounding the coalition forces.

"Rabbits will bite when they are anxious." In order to prevent the opponent from fighting, the Han army did not surround the coalition forces, but left a gap in accordance with the principle of "encircling three and one".

The officers of the Han army also regained their composure under his orderly command, arranged their troops according to the orders, and were ready to enjoy the fun of the annihilation battle.

The siege battalion also moved quickly during this battle. They dismantled each catapult, then transported and reinstalled it.

During this process, the coalition forces, under the command of Li Ju, launched many attacks in an attempt to stop the Han army's actions.

But under the attack of the Han army's arrow array, they all failed, leaving dead bodies all over the ground.

Thanks to the efforts of the siege battalion, the trebuchet was finally assembled in less than three moments.

Zhang Yue calmly ordered, "Let's start!"

"promise!"

With the heavy swing of the trebuchet's long arm, large projectiles fell into the vehicle array with an unstoppable force.

The huge stone bullets can even shake the city walls, let alone the fragile fortifications, and the fragments will fly and kill the soldiers who are not well protected.

Generously bringing death to the coalition soldiers in the car formation.

Facing the trebuchet attack, the coalition forces were at a loss.

"Fire-calling oil bombs!"

One by one, the kerosene bombs were loaded onto the trebuchet. The ignited kerosene bombs continued to fall into the car formation in an arc under the action of the trebuchet.

The kerosene bombs flying in the air were like shooting stars in the eyes of the Han army, so beautiful.

On the opposite side is the coalition. In the eyes of coalition soldiers, these kerosene bombs are weapons of the devil. They will only bring death and fear...
