The horses are galloping and the knights are roaring.
With the charge of Canglongqi, the Chu and Wu armies finally started a head-on confrontation after several days of confrontation.
This battle is related to the victory and survival of both countries.
If Xiang Ji loses, then there will be no need to talk about great things.
After all, if they were defeated at the hands of Wu, they would naturally not be able to worry about the northern battlefield.
Although the northern battlefield has now entered a stalemate, if Xiang Ji delays returning to the army, Cao Cao will still launch an attack on Xuzhou after he has eliminated Jia Xu.
But Xiang Ji didn't know that he actually had a teammate further north...
For Wu State, this was a life-and-death battle.
With this victory, not only can the foundation of the Wu Kingdom be preserved, but the entire Yangzhou can even be swallowed up.
This is tantamount to a qualitative leap for Wu State.
If failed.
That's even simpler.
There is no need to talk about foundation or future.
You can't beat him with fifty thousand or five thousand, so he might as well go to sleep.
"Kill!"
As the two armies charging at the front collided, the battle between Chu and Wu officially began.
With the help of the impact of the war horses, the first row of Canglong Cavalry swept the Wu army.
There was not a single Wu soldier who could survive the charge of the Cang Longqi.
Either he fell under the spear of the Canglong Cavalry, or he was simply brought down by the impact of the horse, and then was directly trampled to death by the horse of the following cavalry.
"Hahaha, Canglongqi, follow me and charge!"
With the formal confrontation between the two armies, Xiang Ji also put down Pan Zhang and Han Dang who had fled.
They are just scum and not worthy of Xiang Ji's attention at all.
After putting down General Wu, Xiang Ji rode up to the formation of the two armies and began to lead the charge.
The Overlord's Halberd began to be waved continuously in the Wu army's position.
No one can block Xiang Yu's blow, and no one dares to block Xiang Yu's next blow.
Wu soldiers were constantly disemboweled by Xiang Ji's Overlord Halberd, and Wu soldiers were constantly swept away by Xiang Ji's Overlord Halberd, knocking down their companions behind them.
Soon, a blank area of about ten feet wide was cleared around Xiang Ji.
"Shoot! Archer, shoot him!"
Zhou Yu, who was in command, discovered Xiang Ji's existence.
This monster, after fighting with Sun Ce and the others for a long time, didn't show any signs of fatigue?
If that's the case, then I'll shoot you to death.
Yes, our country of Wu does not have cavalry, but what our country of Wu is rich in is archers!
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Following Zhou Yu's order, the archers in the back row shot arrows at Xiang Yu.
But when the feather arrow fell, there were bursts of screams.
It turned out that because Xiang Yu had charged too deep, he had already separated from the large cavalry force, so Xiang Yu was surrounded by Wu soldiers.
A round of arrows rained down, and Xiang Ji relied on the Overlord Halberd in his hand to knock away all the arrows that hit him.
But Wu Jun around Xiang Ji didn't have that much trouble.
Soldiers from the Wu Army kept falling under the arrows of their own men, and soldiers from the Wu Army kept screaming in agony.
The morale of the Wu army was plummeting at a speed visible to the naked eye.
You must know that infantry, especially light armored infantry, are in a situation of being crushed under the charge of cavalry.
Wu Jun just relied on their large numbers and wanted to stop the Canglong Cavalry's charge by sacrificing some of the unlucky ones.
As long as the Canglong Cavalry cannot charge, then the cavalry trapped in the sea of people is not impossible to deal with.
But the problem is that before the charge of the Canglong Cavalry was stopped, Wu Jun was frightened by the unlucky men who died tragically and began to become frightened.
Immediately, a round of arrows rained down, and the Wu army who was shot by his own men screamed again and again, and his morale dropped even more.
"Ming Jin, withdraw your troops!"
Zhou Yu, who was in command, knew from this moment of fighting that the Wu army would be defeated.
Xiang Ji was unstoppable, and the Canglong Cavalry and the Wu army were even more unstoppable.
Now a round of arrows rained down, and the screams of Wu Jun who was accidentally injured accelerated the speed of defeat.
Rather than being defeated, it is better for a strong man to cut off his wrist.
Zhou Yu knew that only by preserving his vitality could he continue to deal with the same subjects.
Now, Zhou Yu no longer expects to defeat Xiang Ji.
It would be nice if he could be prevented from crossing the river, but now his plan to burn Qu'a has become a joke.
Facing an opponent who was not on the same level as him, all Zhou Yu could hope for was to hold Xiang Ji back.
Yes, Zhou Yu planned to drag Xiang Ji to Jiangdong.
As long as Xiang Ji cannot defeat Soochow quickly, then he will definitely not be able to return to the main battlefield in the north.
And as long as the Northern Allied Forces achieved victory, it would be worth the high price the Wu army paid.
After all, dead soldiers may be recruiting, and dead generals can also be slowly cultivated.
But if Xiang Ji succeeded in one battle and wiped out Wu directly, then there would really be nothing left.
But Zhou Yu didn't know that the current northern battlefield was not as smooth as he expected.
As Cao Cao was led back to Yanzhou by Jia Xu, only Liu Bei remained among the Northern Allied Forces still fighting in Xuzhou.
It's just that this guy doesn't know the current situation of his other two friendly forces, otherwise he might not be in the mood to surround Xiapi.
After learning that Taishi Cicong had captured Xiapi, Liu Bei's army turned around again and surrounded Xiapi again.
Liu Bei had already formed an obsession with Xiapi.
You know, this is the city he has already conquered.
But he didn't even try to warm himself up, so he changed hands and called me back.
It doesn't matter if he fights back. If his strength is inferior to others, then Liu Bei, who often fails, can accept it.
But the problem is, damn, the Chu army in Xiapi now only has more than 10,000 troops, and our own military strength is ten times that of the other side!
Liu Bei couldn't accept this.
I regret this. I regret why I didn’t leave more defenders. I regret why I let Zhang Fei, an unreliable person, guard the city.
I just randomly arranged a partial general, I'm afraid I won't be able to lose Pi now, right?
But no matter how much he said, it was useless. Liu Bei had already made up his mind to recapture Xiapi no matter what.
Even if Guangling stops fighting, even if the army is lost, Xiapi must be recaptured.
This! This is my Liu Bei’s city!
However, in the face of the Qingzhou Army's crazy attack, Taishi Ci did not panic at all.
Just kidding, the last time I lost Xiapi was an accident.
Accident can be one, but can it be two? Do you really think that I, Taishi Ci, am a vegetarian?
You must know that although the number of Xiapi garrison is not as good as before, their morale and combat literacy are far higher than before.
Veterans who have experienced city defense battles are definitely not comparable to recruits.
Although the 30,000 troops brought by Taishi Ci were well-equipped and well-trained, they had never experienced a city defense battle.
There will be various unnecessary mistakes in both cooperation and mental mediation after being besieged.
And now?
I, Tai Shici, will show you what the real elite is.
