Transport by water.

It can save Yuan Shu a lot of labor and material costs.

And it is indeed very safe.

At least Ma Chao didn’t think in this direction when he was looking for Yuan Shu’s food route.

But now there is Ma Chao who is on the map.

After two days of ambush.

He quickly attacked a grain transport dock in Hanshui.

Not only did they take away all the food and grass, they also burned the ships.

Hanshui was just one of Yuan Shu’s grain transportation routes.

There were other rivers that were also harassed by Ma Chao.

Sometimes you can successfully rob food.

Sometimes even if the food robbery is unsuccessful, it still causes great damage.

Even Nanyang County itself stores a large amount of grain and grass.

But Ji Ling didn’t dare to relax at all.

Without a continuous supply of food and grass, it is always difficult to feel at ease.

As a last resort, Ji Ling ordered the soldiers and horses of Chen Lan and Li Feng and the soldiers and horses of Qiao Rui and Liu Xiang.

Let them cooperate with each other to protect the safety of the grain road.

As for Ma Chao, he had already sent out a large number of reconnaissance horses and reconnaissance cavalry, and quickly grasped the movements of Chen Lan and Li Feng’s army.

Although the army led by Chen Lan and Li Feng also had cavalry.

But their cavalry was mainly used to deliver messages and conduct reconnaissance.

And how can their detective horses compare to those of Ma Chao’s Xiliang Army?

So, when Chen Lan and Li Feng discovered Ma Chao’s cavalry.

It was too late to hide in the forest.

Chen Lan and Li Feng were shocked, but they had to stop. All the troops gathered and defended intensively.

While establishing a defensive formation, they sent several groups of cavalry towards the direction of the bridge.

They need to seek rescue.

Chen Lan and Li Feng’s army were all infantry and were inherently weak against cavalry.

They could only form a formation and securely defend themselves, unable to retreat or counterattack.

Although faced with an unfavorable situation.

But Chen Lan was not afraid. He believed that the army he led was well-trained and well-equipped.

Even if the cavalry charged in, they would still have to fight to the death.

Now Chen Lan and Li Feng’s army has gathered into a huge square formation.

There are archers holding bows and arrows, holding down the position.

There is a spearman, holding a spear more than three meters long, like a hedgehog.

There are strong soldiers holding huge shields in front.

Chen Lan’s army was indeed well-trained and did not give Ma Chao’s cavalry much chance.

However, Ma Chao looked at this turtle formation and smiled disdainfully.

He divided his cavalry into four teams, each with 5,000 men.

A group of cavalry charged, but did not attack the headquarters of Chen Lan and Li Feng’s army.

All the cavalry rushed around the formation.

The remaining three groups of cavalry closely monitored the movements of Chen Lan and Li Feng’s army from three directions.

As long as there is a slight mistake or a loophole appears, they can quickly attack.

Five thousand cavalrymen rushed around the formation, and from time to time they would engage in a round of mounted shooting.

Chen Lan and Li Feng’s army were not without infantry archers.

However, these infantry archers faced the loose formation and extremely fast cavalry, but they did not cause much damage.

But Chen Lan and Li Feng’s army are gathered together as a living target.

“Hold on!”Chen Lan and Li Feng were walking around in the formation.

They constantly directed the generals at all levels to stabilize the military affairs.

However, inevitably, as time passed, the morale of the army began to gradually decrease.

Facing the cavalry projectiles, Some unlucky ones were hit by the arrows.

The injured soldiers fell to the ground and screamed in pain.

The cavalry on Ma Chao’s side were divided into four groups and they took turns to attack, just like walking in a leisurely manner. The pressure on Chen Lan and Li Feng’s army was slowly passing by. On the other hand, Chen Lan and Li Feng’s army remained in a tense state for a long time. The morale of Chen Lan and Li Feng’s army was greatly reduced.

This attitude of being beaten but unable to fight back was very harmful to their morale.

However, Chen Lan and Li Feng never dared to change their formation because there were three teams of cavalry in the distance. As long as the formation is changed, these cavalry will charge quickly.

Once their army is divided into several sections, it will be the beginning of collapse.

Now Chen Lan and Li Feng can only hope that Qiao Rui and Liu Xiang will come to rescue them..

Otherwise, it is only a matter of time before Chen Lan and Li Feng’s army collapses.

Even if they can escape, they will inevitably be punished by Ji Ling and even punished by their lord Yuan Shu. After receiving the message from Chen Lan and Li Feng,

Qiao Rui and Liu Xiang quickly mobilized their troops to move towards Chen Lan and Li Feng.

However, Qiao Rui was not afraid of this. There was an ambush.

So he sent a large number of scouts, detective horses, and reconnaissance cavalry to carefully check the ravines, woods, and cliffs to avoid an ambush.

Chen Lan and Li Feng had already sent two groups of people to urge them.

But Qiao Rui always took his time and put safety first.

When Qiao Rui and Liu Xiang’s army arrived near the battlefield, it was already around noon, and

Chen Lan and Li Feng’s army held on from morning to noon.

All the soldiers were exhausted, hungry and thirsty.

Although they were arranged to take turns to rest and eat, Ma Chao’s cavalry would always take advantage of this opportunity to suppress them many times, causing chaos and killing.

Feng’s army was extremely nervous, and it was not far away from complete collapse.

At this moment, Chen

Lan and Li Feng

‘s army suddenly burst into cheers.

Rui and Liu Xiang led the army. They were cautious along the way and did not encounter any ambush.

They finally approached the battlefield.

See���Lan Lifeng’s army was still in a defensive state.

Seeing this, Qiao Rui and Liu Xiang also breathed a sigh of relief!

Chen Lan and Li Feng’s army was not defeated.

They can successfully complete the rescue.

Although it took some time, it was the best that we were not ambushed.

When I saw Chen Lan and Li Feng’s army.

Qiao Rui did not order the rescue, but ordered them to rest in place.

After a long journey, the soldiers were very tired.

Stopping and resting for a while will be helpful for waiting for rescue.

In addition, seeing the arrival of reinforcements, Chen Lan and Li Feng’s army quickly restored their morale.

Although they did not receive immediate rescue, they were no longer afraid and saw hope.

Qiao Rui and Liu Xiang’s army took turns sitting on the ground, replenishing food and water.

Although they were eating, they were still focused on staring at the cavalry in the distance.

The Xiliang cavalry in the distance turned a blind eye to them.

It just accelerated the attack on Chen Lan and Li Feng’s army.

It seems that they want to break Chen Lan and Li Feng’s army before they can rescue them.

But rescue arrived. Although Chen Lan and Li Feng’s army were still passively beaten, their morale was high and they did not collapse.

Qiao Rui and Liu Xiang were observing the Xiliang cavalry in the distance together.

These cavalry were divided into four teams and took turns to attack Chen Lan and Li Feng’s army.

These Xiliang cavalry have superb riding skills and are skilled in bow and horse. They always shoot a round of arrows by surprise.

Although it did not cause much damage to the army’s military formation.

But the damage to morale was huge.

If they don’t come to the rescue, then at this moment. The collapse of Chen Lan and Li Feng’s army is just around the corner.

Even if they manage to make it to the afternoon.

Then they couldn’t spend this night safely.

For soldiers in this era, nighttime is the most unsafe.

While Qiao Rui and Liu Xiang were observing and chatting,

“newspaper……!々〃 !”

A scout suddenly rushed over in panic.

Qiao Rui and Liu Xiang were surprised at the same time.

They soon had an ominous premonition

“Why are you so panicked?”Qiaorui asked sharply.

The scout was out of breath as he ran.

He heard Qiaorui’s sharp question. He quickly said:”There are a large number of enemy troops deep in the dense forest on the left rear of the army, and they are heading towards Come here!”

The scout looked panicked.

Now there were a lot of troops, which scared him.

Qiao Rui’s heart sank and he immediately said:”Explore again!”

The scout was scared in his heart, but he could only clasp his fists and say:”No!”

This scout just left

“newspaper……!!”

Another scout suddenly rushed over in panic.

“What are you panicking about? Say it!”Qiao Rui and Liu Xiang both had an ominous premonition.

“In the deep valley at the right rear of the army, a large number of enemy troops suddenly appeared and were heading this way!”The scout immediately said

“What?”Qiao Rui and Liu Xiang were shocked.

There were large armies on the left and right rear.

They were surrounded!

Chen Lan and Li Feng’s army was a decoy.

The opponent’s purpose was to annihilate both of their armies.

Qiao Rui shouted:”Send the order, line up, prepare to fight!”

The military order was quickly passed down from level to level.

Qiao Rui’s army was also well-trained and quickly assembled in a defensive formation facing behind them.

There were also some military formations to defend the cavalry in the direction of Chen Lan and Li Feng.

Qiao Rui sent out more scouts, and soon some scouts came back to report.

“How many troops do they have? Qiao Rui asked sharply

“The two enemy troops on the left and right have joined together, blocking the way behind us!”

“The number of enemy troops seems to be about 20,000 from a distance!”

“Twenty thousand?”Qiao Rui and Liu looked at each other.

They felt a little relieved.

Although they were blocked, they had the upper hand.

In addition, Chen Lan and Li Feng’s army had not collapsed yet, and they had restrained the opponent’s cavalry.

This It was still unclear who would win the battle.

Liu Xiang saw the scout’s hesitant expression and immediately asked,”What else is there? Say it quickly!

The scout said nervously:”I have never seen the army they are walking in front of!””

“The whole body is wrapped in armor, just like the Iron Army!”

Qiao Rui and Liu Xiang were a little confused.

They couldn’t imagine what kind of army this was.

However, this did not affect them in reorganizing their military formations and preparing for battle.

The movement here also affected Chen Lan and Li Feng’s army.

They It was discovered that Qiao Rui and Liu Xiang’s army were preparing for war in a completely opposite direction.

Chen Lan and Li Feng’s army immediately realized that there were other enemy forces that they needed to hold on to and could not be rescued for the time being. At the same time,

Ma Chao’s four cavalry groups also made adjustments.

At the same time, two groups of cavalry rushed around the formation, and

Chen Lan and Li Feng’s army were instantly panicked.

The round of arrows brought more chaos and damage, but Qiao Rui and Liu Xiang’s army couldn’t care about them.

Ordinary officers and soldiers.

Their hearts were heavy.

The dark military formation in front of them was so terrifying that they felt a little depressed.

This was an army they had never seen before.

In their opinion , this is an extremely luxurious army , but it actually covers the whole body of the soldiers.

Even the head, torso, and limbs are covered by armor.

Covered , only a gap is left, revealing the dark and vicious eyes.

It can be seen that this armor is extremely heavy, so when these soldiers move forward, they walk very steadily and look very impactful.

Covering the armor did not affect the mobility of these soldiers.

Qiao Rui and Liu Xiang’s hearts sank.

Wearing such heavy armor, covering their entire body, making them invulnerable to arrows, how could they fight this dark army with determination ? , gradually approaching the bridge and Liu Xiang’s

���military.

I saw these soldiers covered in armor and holding various heavy weapons in their hands.

There are axes, axes, hammers, halberds, clubs, etc.

Only a few were armed with slashing weapons such as long knives and swords.

Dian Wei wore thick armor and held a short-handled iron halberd in each hand.

He was at the front. It will be up to others to command the troops.

He just felt that his blood was boiling, and he could finally fight hard today.

He kept moving forward in the direction of Qiao Rui and Liu Xiang’s army.

Following Dian Wei’s steps, they formed a neat queue and followed closely behind Dian Wei.

Yes, these soldiers wearing armor are Bubazi.

They wore heavy Song Dynasty infantry armor.

Today, they will show their fangs and take the first step in bloodthirsty massacre.

Following closely behind the heavy infantry infantry were rows of crossbowmen.

This is probably a strategy that no one in this world can imagine.

Hoplites are equivalent to tanks in the front.

Crossbowmen are behind them, ready to fire with their crossbows.

Facing Bubazi who looked like an iron jar in front of him.

Qiao Rui and Liu Xiang’s army began to stir.

Qiao Rui saw that the situation was not good and decided to launch an attack

“` 々Rifle archer, prepare to shoot, release!”

Following the officer’s order, in front of Liu Xiang’s army formation on the bridge, rows of archers (Nuo Lihao) unfurled their bows and nocked arrows.

As the officer’s words fell, arrows shot like raindrops toward Bu Bazi came over.

All Bu Bazi raised their left hands to cover their eyes, lowered their heads slightly, and kept moving forward.

“Take it! Take it! Take it!”

These raindrop-like arrows hit them and were bounced off one after another.

Occasionally, some arrows got stuck in the cracks of the armor, and they just hung crookedly on it.

Only a few unlucky ones were hit by the arrows. On the feet, or through the gaps in the armor, there were no serious injuries, just some minor injuries.

They could even continue to fight against the approaching heavy armor. The infantrymen Bu Bazi and

Liu Xiang’s army formation couldn’t help but feel a little commotion.

Just when the first wave of arrows stopped

, a famous crossbowman suddenly appeared behind Bu Bazi.

“Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!”

A row of rows of crossbows fired.

A wave of arrows shot out and fell densely toward the enemy.

The power of crossbows has a farther range, greater power, and more damage than the power of bows and arrows.

Such a dense attack Shoot down the wave crossbow

“ah……ah……ah……”

Screams could be heard one after another among Liu Xiang’s army at Qiao Rui.

The archers in the front row fell to the ground instantly.

The spearmen in the back row also suffered varying degrees of injuries.

Go when the distance between the two parties is less than 30 meters.

Dian Wei suddenly shouted and began to charge forward.

While charging, the two short-handled iron halberds in his left and right hands were thrown out by him, hitting the soldier in front in the face.

Other Bubazi followed suit.

Some of them threw out their short axes, and some threw out their iron halberds.

Dian Wei pulled out two more short-handled iron halberds from behind and waved them left and right.

He rushed directly into Qiao Rui and Liu Xiang’s army.

Soon the enemy was torn open…. ps:▄█ˉ█●Please, it’s on the shelves, please subscribe, flowers, rating votes, rewards and comments!.
