sweeping the world

Chapter 265 A Sudden Decisive Battle?
In troubled times, influence is based on playing rather than speaking. Although Liu Yan led the army to win several times, because the time of rising was too short, he really didn't have much prestige.

For those who want to speculate, Liu Yan is not a good choice, only those who really understand the situation under Liu Yan's command, such as Deng Heng who used his own defeat as a favor, and Wang Ji who sensed a trace of real information , Wait for some people who really understand what power Liu Yan possesses, and they will pay attention.

"It's about to start a fight!" Zhai Bin is a mixed-race man. He looks yellow-skinned, but his hooked nose and green eyes have some Caucasian characteristics.He shouted to Wang Luan from a distance: "React quickly!"

Wang Luan should consider whether he should act like he didn't hear or respond respectfully.His choice was to respond respectfully, and then, as Zhai Bin wished, he sent new troops as support.

Zhai Bin's domineering attitude was not only revealed for a moment, but became extremely arrogant as soon as he arrived at the main camp of the Xuzhou Army.

Wang Luan regards Zhai Bin's domineering and arrogance as a threat, which is the unscrupulousness of Shi Hu after he has made a decision, and this is what worries Wang Luan the most.

The fight had already begun, and Huan Wen galloped at the forefront of all the cavalry again. The first collision between the cavalry of the two armies was when Huan Wen swept out the horse spear in his hand.

Liu Yan gave Huan Wen [-] cavalry, but in less than half a month, only [-] were left. The light cavalry and auxiliary cavalry suffered heavy losses, and there were about [-] assault cavalry left.

To put it bluntly, the cavalry is a unit that exists exclusively for charging. From the moment the cavalry of the two sides collided with each other, the sound of horseshoes was mixed with screams, neighing, and muffled grunts. It fell from the horse's back, and was then trampled into a broken corpse by the horses passing by.

"He can handle it. We flank and wait to engage directly or to intercept enemy reinforcements."

Qian Jiantong was the commander of the cavalry sent to support Huan Wen.He didn't like Huan Wen, not because he felt threatened by his status, but because Huan Wen didn't regard soldiers as robes, but as tools for making contributions.

Cavalry!Although the cavalry in the Central Plains has become worthless, who doesn't cherish it carefully?Huan Wen is simply that the cavalry does not belong to him, and he doesn't take loss seriously. No matter how many victories there are, a good elite cavalry went out for a walk, and about half of it was lost?No matter how you look at it, it belongs to something that is not your own, and you don't cherish it.

How many cavalry are there in total in the Han Dynasty?All of a sudden, I lost [-], which is the knights who have worked hard to accumulate in the past four years!
As expected, Shijie's Zhao army sent new troops. Qian Jiantong glanced at the indissoluble battlefield, and then at the banner in the direction of the main camp. The main camp didn't give any orders.

"roundabout!!!"

"Woooooo-"

Fortunately, the terrain is flat, and the camps of the two armies have enough space, or they cannot accommodate nearly [-] cavalry to fight.

"Your Majesty, Huan Wen can't hold on anymore."

"He didn't ask for help, did he?"

Liu Yan kept a calm mind enough, even if the battle situation was developing toward the decisive stage, he showed the confidence that a commander should have, and would not get excited or flustered because of a temporary change in the situation.

In fact, Huan Wen felt that he could still persevere, especially since the two thousand surrendered soldiers joined the battle and involved part of Shijie's Zhao army's strength, he thought that he could still rely on the elite in his hands to penetrate again.

Two thousand Wang Ji indicated that the surrendered soldiers were really participating in the war, and they were taking the position of the Han Dynasty to deal with the original friendly forces.The person who led the two thousand soldiers was called Wang Yong. He was a direct descendant of the Wang Ji brothers. He was ordered to go to Liu Yan first. He was a bet and an observer of the Wang family.

Wang Yong is 24 this year, and his martial arts skills can only be said to be okay, but there is no shortage of education that children of aristocratic families should receive.He still didn't know that Huan Wen didn't inform Liu Yan of the situation, and the reason why he joined the war was to show his presence.And it turns out he succeeded.

"Huh?" Liu Yan obviously noticed that the surrendered soldiers actually participated in the battle, and said in surprise, "Huan Wen is still very good at it."

In fact, Wang Yong's participation in the war really had some effect. Not only did it involve some Shijie Zhao troops, but it also caused confusion and confusion among the Shijie Zhao troops.

Warriors will have their own judgments, and it will not be difficult to find out what "smell" is on the opponent. Shijie Zhao Jun almost immediately discovered that the Qingqi led by Wang Yong had the same temperament as himself.After the two sides started fighting, there was definitely more than one Shijie Zhao Jun who was a little depressed, that is, after surrendering, he immediately turned around and beat himself. What kind of benefits did the Han army give those former allies, and it was worth the ex-allies' hard work.

"Who is directing the surrender?"

"Back to you, I don't know yet."

Liu Yan would ask, because he discovered that the surrendering troops were not rushing indiscriminately, and the route and timing chosen may not be correct, but it can show the judgment ability that one should have on the battlefield.As long as such an officer is trained, he can be used as a leading general along the way, but it is hard to say how much success he can make, or how much responsibility he can take.

Of course, Zhao Jun's main camp in Shijie also noticed the situation. Wang Luan was stunned for a moment and suddenly understood, but Zhai Bin felt differently.

【Wang Ji...he actually did this! ? 】Wang Luan was shocked more by astonishment. He didn't know whether it was anger or fear. His hands were shaking all the time, thinking: 【The situation has deteriorated to such a point. Is there anything I don't know? 】

They are the core of the family, no one knows what to do in the current situation, it's just that Wang Ji made it too big and too obvious!
At that moment, Wang Luan was not thinking about how to deal with the ongoing war. He was thinking about why Wang Ji did it so obviously, which was almost like ignoring it.

Zhai Bin is from Ding Ling, and it hasn't been long since he took refuge in Shijie Zhao State. It is absolutely nonsense to say that he has any sense of belonging to Shijie Zhao State.He has his own understanding of surrendering troops and rebelling against war, that is, he feels that Shijie Zhao Guo is really going downhill.What he doesn't know is that the Central Plains family is like this kind of bird, who can be loyal one moment, and stab a knife in the back the next moment.

It may be that their minds were too messy, but neither Wang Luan nor Zhai Bin noticed anything. It was obviously an interception battle, but the scale of the relationship seemed a bit large due to the repeated increase in troops.

"Master, the gates of the Han army are wide open, and there are infantry troops appearing!"

Wang Luan looked back and saw a large number of Han infantry pouring out of the gate from a distance, and roughly judged that the number would not be less than [-].

The infantry of the Han army who came out of the gate, they did not advance towards the battlefield from the beginning, they formed an array at the edge of the camp, and waited for the formation to form before slowly advancing to the sound of war drums.

On the battlefield of the cavalry battle, Liu Yan actually sent out infantry, did he have no cavalry in hand?
Take a look at how the infantry of the Han army lined up. The two outer rows are big swordsmen wearing heavy armor and holding broadswords, the third row is heavy shield soldiers holding tower shields, and the fourth row to the seventh row They are spearmen holding spears, the seventh to No.11 columns are archers, and No.12 to No.16 columns are crossbowmen.

The entire army formation is a circle, that is to say, it is composed of circles, not a horizontal and vertical column, and the core position is the crossbowmen.

"It's a pity, we don't have a van, otherwise..." Liu Yan didn't have any regretful expression on his face, but looked a little excited instead.He first signaled the nest car to descend, and then said: "I didn't expect the decisive battle to come like this. I should play my own role, and then Tai'an (Ji Chang) will command the overall situation."

Ji Chang respectfully replied: "No!"

Sang Yu and Cai You looked at each other, and they smiled at each other.

As an outsider, Yuan Qiao held back for a moment and said, "I would like to join the army for your sake."

"Very good." Liu Yan smiled with satisfaction, nodded to Yuan Qiao, and happily promised: "Uncle Yan, you will be proud of today's choice two."

Yuan Qiao tried very hard to appear happy, but her smile seemed stiff no matter how you looked at it.He was waiting for Liu Yan to no longer look at him, and thought with a wry smile: "It's basically forcing him to stay. I'm afraid if he refuses to wait, he will disappear." 】

Don't talk about Yuan Qiao's random thinking, if Liu Yan can't do it, Ji Chang, Cai You, Sang Yu and others will do it.What does a scribe do?In addition to speaking out and making suggestions, necessary dirty work also needs to be done, which is to maintain the authority of the target of allegiance and to cut off possible threats.So, once the target of allegiance opens his mouth to solicit, and the solicitor refuses, he must get rid of it secretly.

After getting off the chariot, Liu Yan started busy preparing for war, not the army, but he needed to be dressed.

There were already a large number of cavalry waiting near the gate, and Yuan Qiao's eyes widened when he followed, with shock on his face.

Two thousand heavy cavalry quietly parked beside the gate. If you look carefully, you will find that there are two different styles of heavy cavalry, one is wearing bright light armor, and the other is the type of heavy cavalry with fish scale armor.The weapons of the two heavy cavalry are also different. For example, the heavy cavalry of the fish scale armor has only two weapons, which are the long halberd and ring sword for cavalry warfare.

The heavy cavalry of the fish scale armor is a system reward, they are arranged at the forefront of the army formation, and there are only [-] tiger troops behind.

When Li Tan saw the appearance of new heavy cavalry, he was in a dazed state of mind. He could find that the four hundred new heavy cavalry had a characteristic, a temperament that only belonged to the imperial guards. Tough, and a firm will that cannot be described.

Liu Yan, who had changed his clothes, came over. He was tall and tall, and he had a top-quality Wusun horse. The whole look was full of oppression, not to mention the temperament in the state of battle.

The battle situation outside had changed. Huan Wen, who was the first to enter the battle state, was on the verge of collapse, including the light cavalry of the surrendered troops.

Huan Wen was about to break through and withdraw from the battlefield, but persisted after receiving reinforcements.

After the Han army had an infantry formation, Wang Luan also dispatched troops again. His choice was infantry against infantry. Looking at the cavalry cruising out of the barracks, the possibility of continuing to invest more fighting troops was extremely high.

Maybe... today is the moment to decide the winner in the Xuzhou battlefield?
