Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 186 Full Charge
Fortunately, Xue Li had some thought and marked the sides of the horse pit. Now the army knew the safe route when going down the mountain and would not hurt any of their own people.

Xue Li's 5000 men are complete with swords, shields, spears, and even archers.But because of this, the arms are too complete, and the number of each arm will definitely not be too many.

Facing the torrent of Xiliang iron cavalry that was constantly rushing towards him, Xue Li immediately formed an formation, putting the two thousand sword shieldmen in front, and the pikemen in the middle to support them, and finally the archers with the longest killing distance and the weakest defense.

At this time, Xu Rong also changed direction, leading four thousand Xiliang iron cavalry to charge forward together, like the rising tide of the sea, the overwhelming momentum seemed to swallow everything in front of him!
"Fire arrows!"

Seeing that the Xiliang iron cavalry was less than sixty steps away, Xue Li gave an order, and a thousand archers drew their bows into a full moon, and shot them high into the air. The rain of arrows was like an arc-shaped cloth belt , rushed to the marching Xiliang cavalry and shot and killed them.

The Xiliang iron cavalry has also been prepared for a long time. They are excellent in equestrian skills. They can bend their bows and shoot on horseback. They immediately draw their bows to counterattack. .

The effect of the arrow array is still very obvious, and the sound of war horses wailing can be heard from time to time.The [-] Xiliang iron cavalry that rushed to the front had already lost more than [-], while Xue Li's side was defended with swords, shields and hands, only a few people were unfortunately injured.

But now, the Xiliang iron cavalry had rushed to a place less than thirty steps away from them, and the suppression and damage of bows and arrows to them had been greatly reduced.

"Change the knife!" Xue Li didn't change his mood, and immediately ordered a thousand archers loudly.

At this time, the Xiliang cavalry was less than 25 steps away from him, and the Yanzhou soldiers could even clearly see the ferocious smiles on the faces of these cavalry.

Xue Li still didn't make any movements, very calm!

"Hiss~ hiss!" The wailing of the war horse suddenly sounded.

Just when these Xiliang cavalry charged to only [-] steps away, the horses running at full strength turned their backs and fell into huge pits that suddenly appeared on the ground. endlessly.

There is actually a horse pit in the periphery!

It turned out that Xue Li had expected it a long time ago. He knew that since Xu Rong could get Liu Xie's repeated praises, he definitely had this ability, and he would definitely be wary of him setting up horse pits, which is a common defensive method for military strategists.

But he suddenly had a whim and set up an additional horse trap belt around the original horse trap. Xu Rong only thought that the horse trap would be at the foot of the mountain, but he didn't expect that there was one here!

"Stop!" Seeing the heavy losses ahead, Xu Rong quickly ordered the cavalry behind him to stop.After the rain of arrows, more than half of the remaining [-] cavalrymen were lost in the horse pit in just a short moment, and those who survived were all killed by Xue Li with the cooperation of pikemen and sword shields.

In other words, before he formally met Xue Li, he had already lost a thousand Xiliang iron cavalry, which is a full one-fifth of the soldiers and horses!

As for Xue Li, the casualties were only dozens of people. Such a disparity in the proportion of battle losses made him feel ashamed and angry, and then he realized that he still underestimated Xue Li after all.

"General, this Xue Li is so insidious! When he went down the mountain just now, he deliberately let the army go around him. He must have made us think that his horse trap was at the foot of the mountain. We didn't expect that he would trap a thousand of our brothers in this way." Next to Xu Rong The primary school student was also very angry and wanted to rush in for revenge immediately.

"Don't be impulsive. Since he can set up defenses at such a long distance, there are other tricks if he can't keep them all. This man's bold and strange use of troops should not be underestimated! Along the route of the cavalry charge just now, the horse traps are now filled. Four thousand cavalry against five thousand infantry, the victory still belongs to us." Xu Rong spat hard and loudly encouraged morale.

"Get ready to fight!" Xue Li looked at Xu Rong, who was more than cautious, and shouted quickly.He didn't have enough time to arrange other defenses at all.In other words, they can only fight head-on with Xiliang cavalry.

Seeing the Xiliang iron cavalry approaching constantly, Xue Li took down the Sky-Shocking Bow from the horseback, took the arrow, mounted the bow, and aimed at the shot with lightning speed. Go straight to Xu Rongfei and shoot away.

Xu Rong, who was charging, immediately felt a huge murderous intent locking on to him. He was extremely skilled in riding, and without thinking about it, he immediately leaned to the side and hung his whole body on the side of the horse. In an instant, he clearly knew He felt a chill pass over his head.

"Ah!" Several screams sounded, and Xue Li's arrow pierced through three unsuspecting Xiliang cavalry before stopping. They all fell off their horses and lost their lives. Unfortunately, Xu Rong was not injured. .

Xu Rong secretly thought it was a fluke and raised his concentration to guard against another sneak attack by Xue Lihui.

Xue Li didn't feel particularly sorry, and didn't make another move, but immediately changed Fang Tian's painting halberd, and commanded loudly: "Raise the shield!"

"Boom!" As his voice sounded, the two thousand sword shieldmen in the front of the Yanzhou Army immediately raised a full three layers of shields thick and one person high, forming a solid shield wall!

"Kill!" Xu Rong led his iron cavalry through the horse pit filled with corpses, and the speed reached the extreme. Every Xiliang soldier had the cruelest smile on his face, as if nothing in the world could stop them Invincible charge!
"Shoot!" Xue Li shouted again.

"Whoa!" Immediately, countless spears were thrust out through the gaps between the shields. The shield wall that could only be used as a passive defense immediately turned into a life-threatening barrier like a hedgehog.

The Xiliang cavalry were all startled. Xue Li had been holding back before, but now the spear appeared so unexpectedly that they were not prepared at all.And because the speed of the charge has reached the limit, they can't stop at such a short distance, and they can only crash into it in extreme panic and fear!

"Don't stop, charge with all your strength!" Xu Rong's eyes turned cold, and he gave an order that surprised the Xiliang cavalry.However, their military discipline was very strict, without hesitation, they all waved their horsewhips quickly, and retreated with both shakes, and the speed of charging was even faster by three points!
"Puff ~ puff!" The sound of scalp-numbing spears piercing through the flesh was heard one after another, and at the same time the wailing of war horses and the screams of soldiers followed one after another.

The Xiliang cavalry at the front inevitably ran into the shield wall, and were all pierced by sharp spears.

But also because of the violent impact force, large and small gaps appeared in the shield wall, which were all smashed open by the huge momentum brought by Xu Rong's order to charge just now.

Xu Rong really lived up to his name. Knowing that the front batch of Xiliang soldiers would definitely die under the spears, he simply made their deaths more valuable, and with their huge impact force, they directly smashed into the shield wall.

"Kill!" The Xiliang cavalry who rushed into the shield wall turned into wolves, tigers and leopards, and rode on horses condescendingly, killing the Yanzhou army in an instant.

"Don't be chaotic, fight in formation!" Xue Li had already rushed to the front, and Fang Tian swung his halberd, stabbing to death several Xiliang cavalry who came forward to besiege him.
