    November twenty-seven.

    Han Sui's army under Chang'an City suddenly changed. One army of 5,000 men, led by Cheng Yin, left Xianyang in the west. The other army, with 3,000 cavalry, led by Yang Qiu, went east to spy on the city. Han Sui's own army increased its efforts to attack the city.  , while the formation shrank and prepared for emergencies.  He didn't want to be attacked like Ma Tengjun.

    In the afternoon of that day, Yang Qiujun was driven back from the east. It turned out that the road to the east was blocked. His three thousand cavalry troops had not gone far when they watched Li Zhe's army endlessly coming from the east.  They blocked the road to the east and then entered in a swaggering formation from the east gate of Chang'an City.

    The situation finally surfaced.  Han Sui also knew that the huge opponent he was about to face was the imperial army from the Central Plains!

    This collision will determine the future situation in the northwest region!

    It¡¯s just that he still wants to fight to the death!

    ??According to the military system of the imperial army, it is definitely not like the northwest army where all the people are soldiers. In other words, there are nearly 100,000 soldiers, which looks very large. Among them, there are only 20,000 to 30,000 combat soldiers, and most of the rest are logistics.

    Under such circumstances, he, Han Sui, still had the strength to fight. The Northwesterners were not as tough as the poor and weak people in the Central Plains. Back then, the imperial court had always had huge forces, so it was impossible to defeat the Northwesterners?  What's more, now his men have gathered the best of the entire Qiang Han clan in Liangzhou, and they will never give up without fighting once.

    Sometimes, even if human beings have instinctively foreseen adverse results, greed is enough to blind this last bit of wisdom.

    November twenty-eight.

    The north wind howled, blowing the clouds in the sky as thin as silk, but the mountains, rivers and fields were filled with iron-gray darkness.

    Under the city of Chang'an, the strong wind was fierce and the flags were flying. Li Zhe and Han Sui stood opposite each other in huge formations, and the heaven and earth were filled with murder.

    Li Zhe, wearing a helmet and armor, sat carelessly on the city tower, overlooking the battlefield below the city. Next to him were many clerks and staff, orders and flags, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Cao Cao, Xun Yu, Xun You, Zhong Yao, Cheng Li and others were all around him.  Countless tall flags stood behind him, and the Tai Chi Ming King flag was flying high.  There were dozens of drums lined up, hundreds of shirtless men with red scarves on their heads, holding thick drumsticks, holding their breath in a deep voice, just waiting for Li Zhe's order.

    Under the city, there is the military formation of Li Zhe's army. They go out of the city gate and fight against the city.  There was a traditional phalanx infantry battalion in the center, with crossbowmen, dragon spearmen, sword and shield soldiers all standing silently and holding their breath.  Xia Houyuan on the left, riding lightly in front and riding heavily behind.  Xu Huang on the right is a mixed unit of light infantry and heavy infantry.

    There was also a heavy equipment battalion of the army that was not suitable for marching because of the long journey, and was still dragged behind. It did not catch up with the battle. Only a small number of ballistae came and were arranged by Li Zhe on the city wall.  Including the 3,000 Tianji Guards of Li Zhe's army, the total number of troops fighting out of the city is about 16,000.

    Opposite, Han Sui's Xiliang coalition forces had already formed an orderly formation. Tens of thousands of fine cavalry and light steps surrounded the command platform of Han Sui, leader of the Xiliang people's alliance in the formation. Han Sui sat on it, squinting his eyes and quietly observing the front.

    In front of the high platform, Han Sui's army totaled 50,000 people, of which 30,000 were cavalry. They were divided into six groups, forming two huge left and right wings, equipped with long swords, heavy axes, and maces. The central army consisted of 20,000 infantry, arranged in a formation.  The thick phalanx, with the horses placed in front of it, and the small and inconspicuous horse traps are not in front of the formation.  He faced Li Zhejun under the city wall more than two miles away.

    In this confrontation, one side is naturally wild and tough, with tyrannical combat power, but lacks collective combat capabilities. However, its absolute superiority of 50,000 people gives it an absolute upper hand; while the other side has strict military discipline.  With few troops but well-equipped armor, Li Zhe's Fuyuan Army has now been completely redressed. It is equipped with all high-quality equipment from the inside to the outside, and it looks majestic.

    Han Sui was on the high platform, waved his hand, put it down, and launched an attack!

    Woo¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ªWoo¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ªWoo¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ªThree long horn sounds sounded in succession, and suddenly Han Sui¡¯s army formation began to surge like a tide, and two fine cavalry rushed out from both sides, one on the left and one on the right.  Attack.  The sound of countless horse hooves fell and rumbled, causing the ground to shake.

    Li Zhe was on the city, waving the flag, and the big drum on the city head rang loudly, and the blood of the soldiers began to boil.

    The battlefield on the left side was several miles away from the right side, and they were almost in contact with each other. When Xia Houyuan saw the enemy cavalry rushing towards them, he also sent out a light cavalry unit.

    These light cavalry are equipped with high-bridge saddles and stirrups, as well as iron horseshoes to protect their hoofs. Their combat effectiveness against the cavalry is almost the same. The cavalry in the interior can also confront the elite soldiers on the northwest grasslands.

    The two cavalrymen increased their speed, and the distance of more than a mile disappeared in an instant. At a distance of more than a hundred meters, the two armies were about to collide. The soldiers could almost see each other.Fang's ferocious face.  The hidden methods of both sides began to be revealed.

    There was a shrill whistle, and Li Zhejun's soldiers suddenly turned their hands out, holding a small military crossbow. There was a dull buzzing sound, and Li Zhejun's special crossbow fired three rounds in succession, and immediately flew out.  Three thousand arrows rushed into Han Sui's army's cavalry array.  Then they all dropped their crossbows and pulled out their cavalry sabers with their backhands.

    But Han Suijun had just calculated the distance and had not yet taken action with his horn bow. In the rush, the bows and arrows flew out one after another. They flew not far before falling to the ground. Only a few unlucky ones of Li Zhejun were killed by the arrows.  He could only watch helplessly as dark cloud-like arrows fell from the sky into the cavalry formation, and everyone immediately fell on their backs.

    A wave of feather arrows flew past, and Han Sui's army's formation was greatly scattered. Then the distance of one hundred meters passed in the blink of an eye, and a collision with a bang began.  The scattered formation of Han Sui's army immediately burst into countless blood mist, and was rushed by Li Zhejun's cavalry with sabers. Nearly half of the troops were lost, and the rest became skirmishers.

    The cavalry of the two armies joined forces, and Li Zhejun gave Han Suijun a disastrous attack as soon as he came up!

    On the right, a huge infantry square appeared in the middle of Xu Huang's camp.

    Watching the enemy cavalry rush up, the phalanx infantry was calm and prepared for crossbow formation, and the dragonlancers raised their guns. Immediately, the front of the phalanx turned into a forest of steel.  After the steel forest, the crossbowmen launched the most skillful crossbow formation chain stunts. A shower of arrows poured down from the sky and the earth, and the sound of steel entering the body was heard. Countless cavalry were caught off guard.  He fell down without a word and immediately turned into a puddle of flesh in front of the horse's hooves. The cavalry formation became much sparser in the blink of an eye. Even so, the cavalrymen still rushed forward with their eyes wide open and their steel teeth clenched.  go.

    When they got closer, under Li Zhejun's excellent armor, the cavalry's bows and arrows had limited effect, but he was killed by the dragon spear formation, staining the dragon spears into a row of blood.  The dragon spear array raised high was like a dam, completely blocking the path of the cavalry's charge.  Even if most of the war horses did not rush forward, they were still patrolling in front of the Dragon Spear Formation. No matter how you looked at it, they couldn't rush through. However, the crossbow arrows behind them were wave after wave, causing endless killings. This area  In front of the formation, it was like a trap, becoming a slaughterhouse where the light cavalry were slaughtered!

    Han Sui stood on the high platform, looking at the scenes on both sides, his eyelids couldn't stop twitching.

    This Li Zhejun¡¯s crossbow formation was so sharp and so dense. Even a real cavalry charge would probably end up being massacred.  Fortunately, this was just a test, and Han Sui wiped the sweat from his head!

    Make a gesture and start the second formation!

    This time, it was an infantry action by the Chinese army.

    The most elite infantry of Han Sui's central army rushed out. They were all heavily armored, holding a huge oar shield, and carrying long axes, broadswords, maces and other heavy weapons on their backs. They strode forward and walked.  The sound of armor plates clashing and rubbing between each other continued, forming a huge and soul-stirring sound.

    Giant shield heavy infantry, this is the traditional arms evolved by the Qiang people to deal with the Han army's crossbow array during the hundreds of years of confrontation with the Han army's regular army. In addition to heavy weapons, each person is also equipped with several ethnic minority weapons.  The traditional weapon, the javelin, is sharper than the crossbow in close combat. When deployed at this time, it is still majestic!

    ¡­¡­

    On top of the city wall, everyone was surrounded.

    Li Zhe pointed at the city and laughed.

    "As expected by the captain, Han Sui really used this ultimate magic weapon! Hahahaha! What a pity, it's completely useless?"

    Jia Xu, however, did not answer. He was stroking his long beard under his chin reservedly, looking cautious.

    Li Zhe smiled and everyone around him looked at him with side eyes!  Hum!  You are so crazy right now!  It's just because you have those magical magical weapons. If you didn't have those, how could you break this oar and shield formation?

    To this day, Lao Cao still feels that he lost a little bit. He thought hard about the battle with Li Zhe's army for a long time and felt that there was really no flaw in his strategy. The only thing that can explain it is Li Zhe's military power.  It was too prosperous and the weapons were too sophisticated. All the methods that Lao Cao could use after racking his brains were defeated by Li Zhe. There was really no way. In this kind of battle, there was no ability to resist at all.  It was too frustrating to lose.

    At this time, watching Han Sui fight with Li Zhejun, it was almost a replica of himself back then. Every formation, troop type, and tactics were all restrained by Li Zhejun!  The only difference is that the Li Zhe army that Han Sui encountered was stronger than that of the day, but Han Sui himself was not as numerous as Cao's army of the day.  What's fortunate is that Li Zhejun's devastating gasoline bombs are no longer on the scene. That kind of thing is the real weapon of massacre. There is no such thing in the world.Any army that can withstand such an attack will only surrender or die!

    Then, everyone saw that Li Zhejun's ballistae with precise strike capabilities were naming Han Sui's giant shield heavy infantry from the city wall. Those majestic giant shield heavy infantry were the real core of Han Sui's army.  The elites who spent a lot of money to train regardless of their own money were ravaged and shattered by the ballistae's stone bullets.

    Every stone bullet fell like water, bouncing up and down several times, leaving blood grooves in the heavy infantry formation with huge shields, and the heavy infantry were proud of their large shields and  The armor suddenly shattered under the impact of the stone bullets, and the whole person turned into flesh!

    Han Sui was on the high platform, almost bleeding from his eyes!  He tried all his magic weapons, but to no avail. The premonition in his heart became more and more real, driving him to stand up and shout loudly:

    Retreat!  retreat!  Han Sui issued an order to withdraw his troops, but it was already too late.

    I saw Li Zhejun's infantry phalanx, which had begun to rumble. The infantry followed the drum beat, took square steps, and spread out diagonally little by little, forming square and hollow phalanxes. Between the phalanxes and the phalanxes  There was a huge gap, and all the infantry spread out a huge battle line composed of small square formations.

    Then, with a shrill whistle, the phalanx infantry suddenly stood up, changed direction, and began to march towards Han Sui's army step by step. At the front were several rows of crossbowmen!  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (this site) to subscribe and reward. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
