The Han family's cavalry saw the black wall, and the Xiliang cavalry led by Li Xiang naturally saw the cavalry coming in the distance. Without many words, Li Xiang took the lead.
The powerful airflow erupted from the body, and the mist around Zhen dispersed, revealing the body of the Han family's cavalry.
Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand cut through the heavy rain and went straight towards the body of the Han family's cavalry soldier in front of him. Fang Tian's painted halberd seemed to have encountered no obstacle and sank into the body of the Han family's cavalry soldier.
Li Xiang pulled his hand back, blood spilled out, and a corpse rolled to the ground. The horse that rushed forward didn't even have time to grieve for its owner, before Xing Liao kicked the horse's leg with a hoof and fell to the ground.
Xing Liao's speed did not slow down, and he rushed forward with Li Xiang, as if the movements of his hands had no intention of stopping. Where Fang Tian painted the halberd, he drew beautiful bright red flowers in the rain.
Those Han soldiers who fell down were soon trampled into flesh by the soldiers behind them, and soldiers from both sides collided in the thick fog.
Before the commander-in-chief of the Han family at the front could react, Li Xiang led his troops and rushed dozens of meters behind her. When he reacted, a layer of Xiliang soldiers were already surrounding him.
The Xiliang soldiers could feel the power of the enemy general in front of them, so they did not attack one by one, but all of them surrounded him together.
At the same time, he raised the spear in his hand and stabbed the general of the Han family. The leader of the Han family was a third-rate master, and he was holding a large sword made of fine iron.
The two sides fought fiercely in the rain, and the majestic Qi dispersed the rain.
From time to time on the battlefield, soldiers fell off their horses and landed on the rain-filled grass. Before they could stand up, the cavalry behind them had already trampled over them.
The power of the iron cavalry trampled them to death, and the cavalry following behind trampled them into a pulp. This was the fate of those who fell off their horses on the battlefield.
Only a few lucky ones will survive, and most of them will be trampled to death by the horses behind them after falling off their horses.
Even if the soldiers on the horse behind saw their comrades in front falling off their horses, they wanted to rescue him, but they did not have the power.
Because during a cavalry charge, there were too many people around, and it was impossible to turn your horse's head or change direction, so you could only rush forward.
Because they are now an impact between cavalry, what they need most is impact, and even if the soldiers in front forcefully change their direction, the people behind them will not have time to change direction.
So you can only depend on whether your luck is good or not, and whether your life is tough enough.
Bright red blood flowed on the grass. Li Xiang fought from beginning to end, rushing back from the rear of the Han family's cavalry. The battle lasted for several hours.
In the end, except for more than a thousand of the Han family's 5,000 cavalry who fled, most of the remaining ones had been chopped off their horses.
The leader of the Han family was even stabbed to death on his horse by Xiliang soldiers. The soldiers of Xiliang headquarters will not show mercy to you just because of which general you belong to.
In their eyes, there are only those with more experience and those with less experience. Among the generals they recognize, the only generals they recognize are those from Xiliang headquarters and those appointed by their lord.
As for other forces, they are just their enemies. Isn’t it best if the enemy is dead?
The heavy rain continued for half a month, and the heavy fog shrouded Anding County for half a month. Finally, after more than 20 days, the thick fog dissipated, and Anding County was able to see the sky again.
Seeing the long-lost sun hanging in the sky, both the civilians in Anding County and the Xiliang soldiers felt happy, and the depressing feeling finally disappeared.
However, as the heavy rain disappears, the Xiliang army's attack will begin again.
People in Anding County hope that it will rain again. They don't want to sleep with the roar of bombings.
The huge bombing sound kept them awake all night and made them fearful, because no one knew when the Xiliang army would attack the city.
Thanks to the fact that when the Han family built the city here, they thought that one day the city would be attacked, so they diverted water from the nearby river and built a moat outside.
When building a city, the materials used were the best materials available, and nothing was skimped on.
Moreover, after the city was built, the mages who had previously built defense arrays against the grasslands were invited.
Those formation mages built a huge defense line for the empire in the north, with twelve fortresses.
The formations in those twelve fortresses can effectively resist the attacks of great masters and even strong men with golden bodies.
Although the formations on their Han family's city walls cannot compare with the formations in the twelve fortresses, they can still defend against the Grand Master's attacks.
In terms of sturdiness, even Xiliang's war machinery could not leave too many traces on them. However, with the fierce attacks again and again, some minor problems began to appear on the walls.
Therefore, the people in the city are also anxious. With Xiliang's constant attacks, one day the city wall will be unable to withstand it. Once they lose the protection of the city wall, won't they be exposed to the blade of Xiliang headquarters?
Their reinforcements did not arrive due to thick fog. Although nearly 100,000 young and middle-aged soldiers have been organized in the city, if they want these soldiers to fight with the Xiliang soldiers, they think too highly of them.
Even if they have elite troops, they dare not say that they can fight against Xiliang headquarters.
There is a small city behind Anding County. With the massive attack of the Xiliang army, more than half of the small city streets in Anding County have fallen into the hands of the Xiliang army.
It can be said that Anding County has been surrounded by the Xiliang army, and at the same time, the surrounding small cities have also been captured by the Xiliang army.
The Han family's 70,000 cavalrymen, led by the general, hurried to this small town. They were all soaked to the skin. The sun came out today and they did not dry their clothes.
Many soldiers suffered from many physical problems due to the rain, and several soldiers eventually died from fevers and colds.
Marching in such rain was just a joke with the lives of the soldiers, but they really had no choice. They had to work hard to break out of the thick fog before they could return to stabilize the county.
The soldiers on the city wall saw this cavalry unit from a distance and saw the flags displayed by the other side. The Xiliang infantry soldiers on the city wall knew that the cavalry unit in front of them was reinforcements from Anding County.
"You immediately pass this news to General Buyi." The centurion said to the only cavalryman under his command: "Go through the north gate."
"Everyone, take care of yourself." The cavalryman did not delay, but just said to the other comrades with his hands clasped in fists.
He knew that the separation this time was likely to be a separation between heaven and man, because there were only a hundred soldiers in the city. Although the 100 soldiers had a wall more than six meters high, if the enemy attacked hard, these 100 soldiers would not be able to withstand the enemy's advance.
After the Xiliang army captured these cities, each city would be assigned about 100 soldiers from Xiliang headquarters to guard it, and also to prevent enemy attacks.
A city guarded by one hundred Xiliang headquarters soldiers, based on the quality of the Han family's soldiers, one or two thousand people could not defeat it.
However, those cavalrymen looked like elite troops at first glance, and the opponent's number was very large. With the naked eye, you could see long black lines appearing on the grass in the distance.
This is a very large number of cavalry.
It should be the cavalry that the generals said that the lord led the Xiliang headquarters cavalry to stop. Perhaps because of the thick fog, the lord did not stop these cavalry halfway.
"Let's go quickly, don't worry about us." The centurion said with a smile: "We are not stupid enough to have 100 of you to resist so many enemies.
There are so many buildings and underground passages in the city, we can find a few places to hide anywhere, and your speed determines when we come out of the underground!"
The centurion was not stupid. It was obvious that the number of enemies was greater than them. He would lead his men and horses to fight to the death with the opponent in the city.
That's not called brave, it's called fool.
"Humble job, let's go now!"
The soldier ran towards the place where the war horse was, and soon the rapid sound of horse hooves disappeared.
The centurion turned around and looked at the building behind him. The soldiers in the city automatically opened the city gate and surrendered when the Xiliang headquarters army came. Their 100 people were able to frighten the city.
A large part of the reason was that they recruited the soldiers who were defending the city at that time. Only by relying on these soldiers who were local snakes, they were able to control the entire city.
But when the cavalry from outside arrives, it will be time for these soldiers to waterproof themselves.
He did not believe that these soldiers in the city could live and die with them.
If they can surrender the first time, they can naturally surrender the second time.
There are many hidden places in the city. The centurion thought for a moment and said: "Let's prepare, let's go outside the city!"
There are many places to hide in the city, but those places must be known to these local soldiers. The more foolish they are to hide there, the final result will definitely be someone else's trap.
So he took his soldiers to hide outside the city. It was dangerous inside the city, and he also reminded the defenders of other cities.
If there were 3,000 Xiliang headquarters soldiers here, they could defend the city based on the city wall. No one would have thought that the Han family's cavalry would come out from here.
Han family cavalry
"General, the city ahead has been captured by Xiliang."
The scout quickly ran to the Han family's cavalry general and said: "The battle flag of Xiliang is planted on the city wall, and the same is true of other surrounding cities."
The head of the Han family looked gloomy. None of the news from the surrounding scouts was good. All the small cities around Anding County had been captured by the Xiliang army.
Anding County has been surrounded by these small cities. It is not ordinary difficult for him to break through this thick protective circle.
"Can I contact Anding County?"
The scout commander on the side shook his head: "The Xiliang army has tightly surrounded Anding County. The scouts in the city cannot break through the layers of siege. When the news comes out, we can't send people to the city."
"Have reinforcements arrived from other places?" Their 70,000 cavalry alone cannot defeat the Xiliang headquarters army that is Zhu Anding's county seat. The cavalry is not omnipotent, and they also need an infantry phalanx to cooperate.
When they were rushing back, troops from other places were also rushing towards Anding County, and the most elite infantry regiments were also on their way back, but because the journey was a bit long, it would still take a long time.
So what we can only count on now is the city defenders not far from Anding County. There are very few city defenders inside, but those cities extending to the grassland.
There are a large number of troops and a small amount of cavalry in those cities. As long as the troops on that side cooperate, they still have hope of breaking through the defense of the Xiliang army.
The scout leader thought for a moment and said, "The garrison generals in those cities don't seem to want to send troops!"
"What do you mean?" The general turned to look at the scout commander.
The scout leader lowered his head: "According to our survey in the cities on the grassland, some people in the cities want to go out independently."
"Go out independently?" The general was confused: "Why do they go out independently?"
"According to the information we have received, the city lords of three major cities have publicly stated that they no longer accept the control of the Han family. They said that they only obey the orders of the governor of Liangzhou, not the orders of the governor of Anding County."
"Obey the orders of the Liangzhou Governor?" The general couldn't help but laugh, and he laughed angrily: "It's the three cities of Muduoyan, right?"
"Yes!" The scout commander looked at his general carefully and said: "At the same time, their three cities also prevented other cities from sending troops to support. In addition, the Xiliang headquarters sent more than 10,000 people to guard the river, and they had enough
The cities with strong support were blocked by those three cities, and the reinforcements in some small places were intercepted by the soldiers of Xiliang headquarters on the bank of the river."
"The only ones that can come to support are the troops on the edge of Tianshui County. However, because too many were drawn away before, we can only gather 80,000 people now, so we have to divide the troops into three groups."
The head of the Han family will try to take a deep breath to calm down the restlessness in his heart: "Well, go down and continue to explore the news here."
"Yes." The scout leader left immediately.
The head of the Han family will say to the surrounding generals: "You each take people to capture the surrounding cities. The Xiliang headquarters has just occupied these places not long ago. Take these cities back, and we will recruit some more people from the young people.
Otherwise, we alone and the soldiers from the cities on the edge of Tianshui County will not be able to break through Xiliang's defenses."
The leader of the Han family is really tired. The entire Han family has reached a critical moment of life and death. But at this time, the people in his family are still fighting among themselves because of some conflicts.
Currently, the strongest remaining military force of the Han family is in the north. If the northern troops do not come south to support, what will they do to fight against the Xiliang main army.
Their general movements were already known in Xiliang, and Li Xiang, the king of Xiliang, quickly came back from the southern grasslands, and by then it would be even harder to fight.
On the other side, when Bu Yi received the Han family's 70,000 cavalry in a small city to the east, he knew that the cavalry in the south had not been intercepted.
