Chapter 373

"Why do you say that there are only 20,000 cavalrymen in the Northern Army in front of you?" Yuan Shang shouted in disbelief.

Cui Yan next to him frowned and said, "Is this still necessary to ask? It must be that this cavalry of the Northern Expedition Army, like our bait unit, used more torches, which created the illusion that the main cavalry are all here! What a Northern Expedition Army! He actually gave us a general plan!"

Yuan Shang's face changed and he shouted to the scout: "Is this the only one?"

The scout nodded quickly and replied: "It is indeed as Mr. Cui Yan said!"

"No matter how many, it's all! Let's wipe out the 20,000 Northern Expedition Army in front of you first!" Yuan Shang yelled decisively.

At this moment, Yuan Shao's 20,000 light cavalry collapsed under the fierce attack of the 20,000 First Legion of the Northern Army. The bed crossbow immediately began to shoot, and the loud trembling sound of the strings of the crossbow became a piece of "Crash and Collapse...", a huge gun arrow that was more than two meters long rushed towards the Northern Army cavalry under the moonlight like a demonic shadow. Blood suddenly appeared, and the huge gun arrows burst into blood among the cavalry group of the Northern Army cavalry. A gun arrow passed through the neck of a war horse and then pierced the chest of the cavalry. The cavalry and the horse were overturned to the ground by the huge impact force of the gun arrows, and blood flowed everywhere; a gun arrow hit the ground, rebounded, and quickly turned around in the air, waiting for the whistling wind, and then three light cavalry of the Northern Army were hit and fell horses one after another.

After the first wave of Yuan Shao's attack on the bed crossbow, the Northern Army lost nearly 200 people, which was a huge loss! The cavalry general of the Northern Army held up a horizontal knife and shouted loudly: "Reorganize the formation!" The cavalry generals should not be unfamiliar with this cavalry general. He was originally the deputy general of the Iron Guard next to Chen Chu, and later came from Leyang, who invited the First Legion to go. He is now the general of the Cavalry Division of the First Legion.

The cavalry of the Northern Army was very elite, and the terrifying crossbow attack did not have much impact on their morale. The two Northern Army cavalry in the direction of both wings began to reorganize the formation. The power of the cavalry was reflected in the impact force, and to exert this impact force, formation was very important, so after the cavalry had a round of impact, as long as conditions allowed, they would reorganize the formation! Just as the Northern Army was reorganizing the formation, Yuan Shao's bed crossbow soldiers were hurriedly preparing for the second round of attack. Yuan Shao's first attack wave was lined up in an orderly front line and shouted to press towards the Northern Army.

"The third young master, you must immediately divide some troops to reinforce the entrance to the south!" Cui Yan suddenly said to Yuan Shang. Yuan Shang was puzzled and asked, "Why?" Cui Yan explained, "The generals of the Northern Army must have some plans! I speculate that the cavalry of the Northern Army's Huyao Camp must be on the way to arrive!" Yuan Shang was shocked and said anxiously: "Then follow what Mr. said!" Then he ordered the order to pass down, and the rear army of Yuan Shao's army turned around and moved to the entrance to the south at 180 degrees.

After a while, the Northern Army reorganized its formation. Then the two Northern Army cavalry gathered in the movement. Leyang planned to concentrate his strength to attack Yuan Shao's army's phalanx.

The cavalry of the Northern Army rushed towards the Yuan Shao army's phalanx. During this process, the Yuan Shao army's crossbow launched another round of attacks. The huge guns and arrows caused great casualties to the Northern Army, but this did not affect the charge of the Northern Army's cavalry.

As they got closer, the cavalry of the North Envoy could not help but shout, and their blood was already boiling. Yuan Shaojun seemed to have been aroused by the beastly nature in his heart, and he also started to roar, his pace became faster, but the front seemed a little messy.

In a blink of an eye, the two sides were only less than twenty steps apart. Suddenly, the cavalry of the Zhengbei Army who rushed in front took out a black sphere the size of a small wine jar from the skin beside the saddle, lit it on a torch fixed to the saddle, and then threw it out.

Then a ping-pong sound rang out. This was the sound of a black ball hitting Yuan Shaojun's shield, and there was a dull sound mixed in it. Yuan Shaojun was immediately confused. Could it be that Zhengbeijun wanted to use this kind of thing to kill himself?

However, Yuan Shaojun soon knew what was going on. Balls of orange flames suddenly appeared in the dark, and the shocking loud noise greatly stimulated people's nerves. Many people were...

The flames that were rolling around in the darkness were swallowed up, and the screams were sparse. Yuan Shaojun was completely stunned by the sudden change. Yuan Shang and Cui Yan stared with their eyes and mouths, all their expressions indicating how shocked they were!

Yuan Shao's army finally reacted, but at this time the cavalry of the Zhengbei Army had already entered their infantry formation. The iron hooves stormed violently among the crowds, and the horizontal swords emitted endless murderous aura under the moonlight. Screams were stacked up, and the rising blood flowers were gradually changing the color of the moonlight. There were also thrilling explosions sounded from time to time. Yuan Shao's army did not know when the terrible flame would emerge from under his feet. The original solemn aura disappeared completely at this moment. Yuan Shao's army was completely in chaos. Some Yuan Shao's army was at a loss and looked around in a daze, while more left their weapons and fled back desperately. The other three phalanxes that were not attacked by the Zhengbei Army also showed signs of instability. The soldiers had obvious fear on their faces, and some soldiers involuntarily retreated in the direction away from the Zhengbei Army's cavalry, which led to the chaos of the front line.

Under the fierce attack of the cavalry of the Zhengbei Army and the stimulation of the incomprehensible flame, the three square formations directly attacked by the Zhengbei Army completely collapsed. The collapsed Yuan Shao's soldiers ran around aimlessly.

The defeated soldiers chaoticized the two square formations next to them with a horror atmosphere, and the Northern Army took the opportunity to cover up and defeat them.

The defeated soldiers were running all over the mountains and fields. The Zhengbei Army divided into several teams and ran around the tide of defeated soldiers. This was not a battle at all, but it could only be considered a massacre. The Zhengbei Army ignored the sixth square formation because the ten thousand Yuan Shao army still maintained a good formation. Although the Zhengbei Army had the ability to defeat the ten thousand Yuan Shao army head-on in a short period of time, it would inevitably pay a considerable price. Therefore, instead of attacking the square formation, it would be better to chase and kill the defeated enemy troops to expand the results.

"The third young master, you must immediately order the cavalry to attack, entangle the opponent, and at the same time, order the second attack wave not to control the formation and charge with all your strength!" Cui Yan said with an urgent look. Yuan Shang had not yet completely awakened from the shock brought to him by the Northern Expedition Army, and was now shocked again. "How can this be done?" No wonder Yuan Shang reacted like this, because before that, there were no infantry who did not line up battle formations when fighting against cavalry. Except for those mobs, the cavalry had a strong impact force and condescending advantage in combat, and the comprehensive combat power of the infantry was far stronger than that of infantry in combat. Only by forming a rigorous and orderly line could infantry fight against powerful cavalry.

Cui Yan was so anxious that he jumped straight, "Third Master, now is not the time to explain! If you believe me, just act according to my words!"

Yuan Shang had no idea at this moment. After hesitating, he nodded and said, "It's up to you!"

Just as the cavalry of the Northern Army was chasing the defeated soldiers, the sound of war drums in Yuan Shao's central army suddenly sounded loudly, and then the shouts rang out like a tsunami. Nearly 60,000 Yuan Shao's infantry raised their guns and rushed towards the Northern Army at full speed. Yuan Shao's army did not rank any formation, and the scene of the charge was like the scene of the army holding up bayonets and roaring at the charge after the charge in later generations. In addition, nearly 10,000 Yuan Shao's cavalry who were defeated not long ago crossed the two wings to the Northern Army.

Seeing this scene, Le Yang was slightly surprised and immediately sent an order: "Don't care about the defeated soldiers anymore, reorganize the formation!"

Whether a cavalry is elite depends not only on its fighting will, equipment, and morale, but also on its speed of reorganizing its formation in an emergency. In fact, this includes various factors such as fighting will, morale. A cavalry that responds quickly in an emergency is undoubtedly an elite cavalry. The cavalry led by Leyang must be the word "elite". Yuan Shao's cavalry only ran two-thirds of the journey, and the military army completed the reorganization of the formation from a completely dispersed pursuit. This speed is definitely a miracle in Yuan Shao's eyes!

Le Yang glanced at the cavalry soldiers who were breathing slightly but were full of morale, raised his sword and yelled: "Caval assault! There is advance but no retreat!" More than 10,000 cavalry soldiers then roared, and the roar almost suppressed Yuan Shaojun's shouts. At this moment, Le Yang and his command...

The cavalry really had no way out, so they could only fight to the death until Zhang Liao led his army to arrive!

More than ten thousand iron cavalry rushed out like a flood in the collapsed dike, and the iron cavalry of the Northern Army in black-clad black armor seemed even more murderous in the moonlight. They rushed up against Yuan Shao's cavalry, and Leyang held up a horizontal sword and took the lead.

Yuan Shao's cavalry seemed very nervous. After all, they were defeated by the cavalry of the Northern Army.

Following the Yuan Shao's cavalry, the sixty thousand Yuan Shao's infantrymen were charging forward. They shouted, their expressions on their faces were both excited and nervous.

Yuan Shang, who was standing under the command of the coach, was also very nervous. He was worried about the war in front of him, and worried that what Cui Yan expected would happen. Cui Yan, beside Yuan Shang, frowned, and he was not optimistic about today's result. Wen Chou stayed by Yuan Shang very depressedly. Originally, Cui Yan suggested that Wen Chou lead the cavalry to attack, because Wen Chou's bravery is worthy of trust, but Yuan Shang did not agree to Cui Yan's suggestion considering his own safety.

Just as Yuan Shang and his men were watching the battlefield nervously, the scout team responsible for the guards in the south suddenly returned. There were only five scout teams with about a hundred people left. They brought the news that Yuan Shang and his men were most reluctant to hear, "Three Young Masters, Zheng, and the cavalry of the Northern Army Brigade of Zhengbei are coming here!" The scout reported panting.

"Cui Yan, what should we do now, should we retreat quickly?" Yuan Shang was a little at a loss. Cui Yan shook his head and said, "No! If we retreat at this moment, our army will have to be wiped out this way!"
