Chapter 723 Heroes Twilight
Ma Chao from the south led tiger and leopard cavalry to help, and Temujin ordered Wang Baobao to lead [-] cavalry to intercept.The Mongolian cavalry shot in loose order and broke through the javelin formation of the tiger and leopard cavalry.

But the Han army had already prepared for it, and the tiger and leopard cavalry immediately gathered together, and the crossbowmen with divine arms entered the tiger and leopard cavalry formation.The two arms cooperated to attack the Mongolian cavalry.

Due to the scattered Mongolian cavalry, and the addition of the tiger and leopard cavalry's protective armor, they looked like an iron-clad monster when gathered together. The bows and arrows were not densely packed, and the lethality was not too great.

The number of god-arm crossbowmen is only a few thousand, but they are superior in terms of power and precision. After a few rounds of shooting, many Mongolian cavalry were shot and killed, so that the Mongolian cavalry did not dare to appear within the shooting range of the god-arm crossbowmen. Inside.

It's just that due to the cooperation between the tiger and leopard cavalry and the god-armed crossbowmen and cavalry, the formation is difficult to operate and cannot be moved lightly.There was a stalemate with the Mongolian cavalry for a while.

Seeing this situation on the high ground, Temujin frowned and said: "I didn't expect there to be such a strong heavy cavalry in the Han army, but fortunately, the situation has been stabilized for the time being, and Que Teqin and Hu Luguang are sent to encircle and kill them as soon as possible." Han army, capture Liu Bian!"

Below, Que Teqin, Hu Luguang, etc. will be ordered to let the soldiers fight desperately.Since Hu Luguang was not Yang Miaozhen's opponent, he had already fled early and commanded the soldiers to charge among the soldiers.

[-] soldiers surrounded the Han army, and even Li Cunxiao couldn't stand it in the desperate charge without fear of death. The [-] Han army cavalry suffered heavy losses, and their numbers gradually decreased.

Liu Bian looked around and saw that the soldiers had suffered heavy losses. Originally, the [-] cavalry were guarding the small Li Lin, but now the soldiers could no longer wrap Li Lin.Liu Bian then ordered: "The whole army dismounts, relying on Li Lin to garrison!"

"promise!"

A group of cavalrymen got off their horses one after another and hid in Li Lin. Due to the obstacles of the forest, the Mongolian cavalrymen could not charge, so they had to dismount and fight.

But the Han army was better at fighting on foot, but the Mongols were not. Using their own strengths to attack their weaknesses, and with Li Lin as a natural barrier, they finally managed to stop the Mongols from advancing an inch.

However, in addition to the tiger and leopard cavalry, the reinforcements of the Han army also included a large number of infantry led by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao, who was in the rear army, saw the tiger and leopard cavalry being blocked, so he ordered in a deep voice: "In the distance, you lead 5000 infantry and go to the front to prevent the Mongols from coming to help. I will lead the remaining [-] infantry. [-] troops, relieve His Majesty's siege!"

"No! All the soldiers come with me!" Li Yuanfang bowed his hands and took the order, and rushed to the front with 2 infantry troops.Cao Cao quickly led more than [-] troops to the front to rescue Liu Bian.

Twenty thousand Mongolian cavalry surrounded the Han army, and 4000 infantry surrounded the Mongolian cavalry, but because they wanted to attack the Han army entering Li Lin, the Mongolian cavalry dismounted one after another and became infantry again. The Han army also lost [-] people, leaving only [-] people.

More than 2 Han troops took advantage of the situation to encircle and advance, forming a formation.

The soldiers in the front are holding crossbows in their hands, there are shield soldiers in the rear ready to respond at any time, and there are spearmen in the middle.

The Liannu soldiers held crossbows in front and advanced step by step. Naturally, the crossbows were also a sharp weapon that Liu Bian exchanged with the system to equip soldiers and horses.

The infantry bow has a long range, and now Liu Bian's army is surrounded, so naturally he cannot use the infantry bow, so as not to hurt the Han army in the encirclement, so the hand crossbow has become the most practical weapon.

The crossbowmen advanced step by step, and when they approached the Mongols, they stopped and started shooting, and the crossbow arrows shot at the Mongols one by one.A single crossbow bolt is not powerful enough to kill, but continuous shooting can kill people, and the Han army came here with a large number of crossbow bolts, which is enough for use.

But for a long time, the Mongols became the living targets of the Han army, and suffered heavy casualties.

Seeing this situation, Hu Luguang in the army ordered the soldiers outside to fire arrows to fight back, but the Han army prepared shields again. Under the cover of the shield soldiers, the crossbowmen continued to output arrows.

The Mongols had no armor, so they were constantly injured.

Seeing this situation, Hu Luguang was furious and urged his horse to rush to the periphery, and ordered the soldiers to mount their horses and charge.Half of the cavalry surrounding the Han army were divided, and they all rushed around.But the formation of the Han army changed again, the shield soldiers were in front, the spearmen were behind, and the crossbowmen hid behind and shot upwards.

The Mongolian soldiers were few, and facing the formation of the Han army, they could not break through the defense of the Han army at all. Instead, under the formation of the Han army, they continued to reduce their numbers.The pressure on Liu Bian was greatly reduced, and the Mongols were even more unable to form an effective attack.

On the high ground, seeing this situation, Temujin couldn't help being furious: "Damn it, I didn't expect the Han army to be so difficult to deal with, and those two kinds of crossbows are even more powerful. The infantry is even more closely coordinated, as stable as Mount Tai!"

Several generals behind Temujin who participated in the Battle of Jincheng also looked depressed. One general smiled bitterly: "It's not that we are incompetent, but that the Han army has grown to a level comparable to ours. It is far from a few years ago , the weak Han army is comparable, and the Han army has several kinds of wonderful weapons, which can be used to crush them to death."

Temujin remained silent. Now that the Han army was coming to help, the soldiers besieging Liu Bian below were unable to capture Liu Bian. Although there were [-] cavalry around, the Han army still had [-] infantry in defense.Even if they are all dispatched, it will not help.

"I hope Tuo Lei, Jebe, Mu Huali, etc. will be able to quickly defeat the reinforcements of the Han army in three directions, and when the time comes, they will be able to capture Liu Bian at a cost!" Temujin looked at the situation below, self-mumbling.

At this moment, there were cavalry flying horses coming from three directions to report.

"Report to the big man, General Jebe of the North is asking for reinforcements, and I hope the big man will send three thousand troops!" Said the cavalry from the north who came to report.

"Why, Zhebie can't beat him?" Temujin shouted coldly.

The cavalry clasped their hands and said: "The cavalry of the northern Han army are not our opponents, but all the cavalry are equipped with stirrups and saddles, and they are comparable to our army in controlling horses. Moreover, the general surnamed Wang is ferocious and invincible. He has a good command and is evenly matched with our army. The big man General Jebe is required to be defeated, so there are not enough soldiers and horses!"

"There is no reinforcements, just tell him to stabilize the situation!" Temujin waved his hand, looked at the cavalry coming from the east and asked, "How is the situation in the east?"

"Big cavalry, the cavalry of the Han army in the east are fighting bravely, and the leading general surnamed Chang is even more fierce and invincible. General Mu Huali is about to be overwhelmed. Please send two thousand troops to stabilize the situation!" replied the cavalry.

"There are no reinforcements, tell Mu Huali that if he can't stop the Han army, he will come to see him!" Temujin shouted coldly.

"How's the situation in the west?"

The cavalry who came from the west to inform clapped their hands and said, "I would like to report to the big man. To the west is the elite cavalry of the Han army Baima Yicong. The leader Zhao Yun is even more powerful. Prince Tuolei can't resist it. I hope the big man will make preparations soon!"

Temujin's face was extremely gloomy. Originally, he had hoped that the cavalry in three directions would be able to defeat the Han army cavalry who came to reinforce them.But I didn't expect that the situation in the three directions was worse than the other.

In the north, there were [-] cavalry led by Wang Zhongsi. After Xiliang Cao Cao left, only [-] elite cavalry remained.The five thousand cavalry in Wang Zhongsi's hands were not left by Cao Cao, but formed by the original Han Sui soldiers and horses. They have been training for the past year.

The cavalry prepared saddles and stirrups. Under the leadership of Wang Zhongsi, a fierce general, they formed a stalemate with the [-] elite cavalry led by Jebe.Jebe could not defeat Wang Zhongsi, and Wang Zhongsi could not defeat Jebe.

On the east side, there are [-] elite cavalry led by Chang Yuchun, plus stirrups and saddles. In terms of combat effectiveness, they are not inferior to the Mongolian cavalry.Facing Chang Yuchun's ferocious attack, Mu Huali was helpless, almost unable to resist.

The situation in the West is even more unoptimistic. Tuo Lei is facing the most powerful cavalry of the Han army, Baima Yicong.

There are three directions, one direction is evenly matched, the other direction has been defeated, and the last direction has already failed.

Knowing this situation, Temu really sank. If the Han army from the east and west rushed over, his situation would be bad.

"Big man, retreat! We have been ambushed by Emperor Han this time!"

"Yes, the Han army is well-equipped, and the cavalry has popularized stirrups and saddles. Now it is evenly matched with our cavalry!"

"Let's go back and concentrate on developing for a few years. We will build stirrups and saddles in the army, which will surely make the cavalry's combat effectiveness crush the Han army. Then we will make a comeback!"

Looking at the battlefield below, and listening to the advice of the generals around him, Temujin couldn't help feeling a bit of a hero's twilight in his heart.I thought that Tuo Lei was incompetent after repeated battles and defeats, but when he came by himself, he was also no match for the Han army.

In just ten years, the weak man had grown into such a colossus. Looking at Liu Bian, who was commanding and commanding in the center below, with a high-spirited appearance, Temujin couldn't help asking: "Is it true that I, Temuzhen, am really getting old?"

In a blink of an eye, the confusion in Temujin's eyes was replaced by firmness, and Temujin said in a deep voice: "The Han army wants to be strong because it has the advantages of various weapons, stirrups, saddles, solid shields, and a range of several hundred The god arm bow of the step, and the hand crossbow that can be fired in bursts, our Mongolian is not no match for the Han army, but lost in the quality of the weapons!
Over the years, this king has plundered a lot of resources. Craftsmen, if I give this king three to five years, I, Mongolia, can also equip these weapons. When the time comes to attack the big man, there will be no disadvantages! "

The voices from the surrounding generals urging the soldiers to retreat kept coming, Temujin waved his hands and said: "This king has a degree in his heart, you don't need to say any more, although our army can't capture Liu Bian, but Liu Bian's army only has [-] cavalry, the rest of the infantry The army is not a threat to our army. I can neither win nor lose, so I ordered Que Teqin and Hu Luguang to lead their troops back! Let Wang Baobao take over and retreat!"

"No!" The cavalry galloped down to report.

When Que Teqin and Hu Luguang got the news, they immediately led the cavalry to break through, while Wang Baobao gathered the cavalry and shot arrows to support them.

Since the cavalry surrounding Queteqin Huluguang were all infantry, and Wang Baobao led troops to support them, the Mongolian cavalry easily broke through the encirclement of the infantry and moved closer to the Muzhen headquarters in Gaotieqin.
