Chapter 601 Donghu Counterattack
At this point, neither side can take another step back, and if they do, they will lose everything.

Just then, the sappers had cleared the gap down a gentler ramp.Teams of cavalry stepped on gentle slopes and entered the city to gather.

But after a while, every time a battalion of cavalry was gathered, they immediately rushed to the battlefield to reinforce the infantry.

After the three hundred cavalry arrived, the infantry in the rear immediately made way for a passage, letting the cavalry rush into the front line.Before the Donghu cavalry could react, they saw a Hengshan cavalry suddenly appearing in front of them, and charged into it with a strong momentum.

The Donghu cavalry immediately fell into a rout, and then under the cover of the infantry, suffered heavy casualties.

The fighting lasted from morning to evening.Most of the periphery of Xijing City has been captured by the Hengshan Army.The remaining [-] defenders had to retreat to the inner city and set up defensive lines on various streets in an attempt to make a desperate struggle.

At this time, the gate of the city had been opened, and hundreds of thousands of Hengshan troops entered the city, surrounding these Donghu remnants.

Lin Yifan came to the front of the formation, picked up the binoculars, and carefully observed the situation on the opposite side.At this time, the remnant army had already fallen into panic and fear.

Lin Yifan immediately ordered people to persuade them to surrender, and told them that as long as they surrendered, they would not die.

Following the Hengshan Army's persuasion, the Donghu defenders immediately wavered.Especially those infantrymen composed of Central Plains people naturally knew how to choose at this time.

Datta also knew the thoughts of these Central Plains soldiers, and even Donghu's internal forces were shaken.But he was unable to suppress them at this time, and could only appease them with the imminent arrival of reinforcements.

But this can only appease for a while, as the pressure on the Hengshan Army increases, the fluctuations in the army will increase.

As the Hengshan Army set an hour as a deadline, if they refused to surrender, they would be killed without mercy.Immediately, more than a hundred jet trains slowly surrounded the inner city, and the nozzles pointed directly at the inner city.

Seeing this, the East Hu defenders were immediately frightened.If he refused to surrender, wouldn't he and others become suckling pigs?

Therefore, the Central Plains army gave up resistance first, threw their weapons on the ground, and ran towards the Hengshan army with their hands raised high.

Seeing this, Datta couldn't help being furious, and immediately shouted: "Quick, shoot them!"

However, no one responded to his words. Whether it was the remaining Central Plains soldiers or the Donghu people, they were still unable to raise their bows and arrows to shoot.

Datta's whole body suddenly withered, and he sat on the ground paralyzed, and murmured in despair: "It's over, we're over."

Not long after, as the soldiers from the Central Plains went to surrender one after another, gold werewolves who had also been conquered joined the surrender camp one after another. Afterwards, many Donghu people also put down their weapons and ran towards the Hengshan Army.

An hour passed, and in the inner city at this time, only Data and his more than [-] soldiers and horses were left.

Seeing that the other party was still unwilling to surrender, Lin Yifan couldn't help snorting coldly, "Hmph, since you refuse to surrender, then I will honor your loyalty. Light the fire!"

Following Lin Yifan's order, the fire-spraying train immediately spewed out tongues of flame, engulfing the houses in the inner city in an instant.The catapult was also replaced with a kerosene tank, throwing large pieces of kerosene into the city.

After a while, a raging fire ignited in the inner city.The flames were reflected on everyone's faces. Those captives who chose to surrender looked at the fire in fear while secretly thanking themselves for their choice.

After this battle, the Hengshan Army wiped out 4 Donghu soldiers and horses in Xijing City, among whom more than [-] were captured, and their own casualties reached nearly [-].

After occupying Xijing City, Lin Yifan let the army rest here for two more days.At the same time, they also received information from Sirius City that King Donghu had personally led 30 troops to Xijing City.

Lin Yifan immediately ordered the army to set off and slowly advance eastward.Although now that Xijing City has been captured, they can rely on the city to deal with the Donghu people.But he was also worried that the Donghu people would choose to retreat to Sirius City after learning that the [-] defenders were destroyed.Therefore, it is necessary to use itself as a bait to let the Donghu people continue to move westward.

After more than [-] troops marched to the east for a hundred miles, the scouts from both sides had already started contacting. From this, it can be seen that the Donghu army is not far away.

Lin Yifan ordered the army to station on the spot, waiting for the Donghu people to arrive.

The news of the Hengshan Army also reached Huerle's ears.When he learned that the Hengshan Army gave up relying on Xijing City and chose to fight against him on the grassland, he couldn't help being surprised.There was no surprise on his face, but a strong look of vigilance.Is the Hengshan Army doing this? What exactly are they trying to do?Do they want to defeat the prairie cavalry in a field battle?

So, Huerle immediately sent a large number of people to investigate everywhere, trying to find out the other party's tricks.But after a few days of investigation, no other conspiracy was found. More than 20 people gathered together, waiting for his arrival.

Huerle's face suddenly darkened, this was clearly Chi Guoguo's provocation.If he avoids and does not fight, he is telling the world that he is afraid of him.Once this sign appears, it will arouse the doubts of the tribes in the army. A monarch who cannot lead them to victory is destined to be abandoned by them.

Since there was no conspiracy, even though Huerle made up his mind, he sent his army to the Hengshan camp.

In just two days, hundreds of thousands of troops from both sides gathered on the vast grasslands, with banners and flags everywhere, wars everywhere, and war horses neighing.

Kuerle didn't stop at all, and when the army arrived, he immediately ordered the whole army to launch a general attack. 30 troops swarmed towards the camp, the sound of thousands of horseshoes was like cracking the ground, and the whole world trembled.

At this time, in the Hengshan barracks, two hundred artillery pieces took the lead, and the two hundred artillery shells made two hundred gaps in flesh and blood, smashing the originally dense cavalry tide into a row of sieves.But there were too many Donghu people, and the cavalry behind immediately filled the gap in front and continued to charge towards the camp.

After several rounds of artillery bombardment, the catapults immediately launched an attack, and packets of explosives fell into the enemy group. After a burst of bombardment, the formation of the Donghu cavalry suddenly became panicked.

At this time, the cavalry on both sides began to mobilize, and the two sides came obliquely inward, directly hitting the two wings of the Donghu cavalry.

The Donghu people were also prepared, and the cavalry on the two wings immediately separated to block the interception of the Hengshan cavalry, and the remaining cavalry continued to fight towards the camp.

However, many trenches and traps were arranged in front of the Hengshan camp. After the Donghu people lost a group of troops, although they filled up the trenches, they were attacked by dense arrows in front of the camp.Immediately, a large number of grenades were thrown from the camp, clearing out the cavalry in front at once.

This battle was originally conducted by Hu'erle to test the Hengshan army. Seeing that the army could not break through quickly, he had no choice but to order Mingjin to withdraw.

The Donghu people retreated like a tide, but the Hengshan cavalry couldn't stop them. After chasing and killing them for a while, they returned outside the camp.

In this battle, the Donghu people suffered more than [-] casualties, and the Hengshan Army also suffered nearly [-] casualties, most of them cavalry.

Seeing this battle report, Lin Yifan couldn't help but sighed slightly in his heart. On the grassland, the combat power of the Donghu people was indeed comparable to that of the Hengshan Army.But this also strengthened his determination to destroy Donghu. If Donghu is not destroyed, the Central Plains will be uneasy.
