Chapter 908: Fierce Battle
Huang Wudie's weapons were basically the same as Huang Zhong's, or rather, the weapons of the three members of Huang Zhong's family were basically the same, with a broadsword for close combat and a bow and arrow for long-range combat. Moreover, the three members were all very good at riding. Therefore, although Huang Wudie was a female general, she was able to wield the broadsword impenetrably on horseback.
However, even so, Huang Wudie did not charge into the enemy group, but rode on her horse and carefully observed the situation on the entire battlefield. Once she found that the soldiers in any position were weak, she would lead her two hundred guards to support them. After repelling Yuan Shu's army and stabilizing the defense line, she would immediately withdraw to the back of the battle line.
However, Huang Wudie and her guards did not have much time to rest. Soon, another line of defense had problems. Dozens of heavily armored infantrymen broke through the defense of the Huben Camp and began to charge into the formation.
Huang Wudie shouted, urged her horse forward, and soon led another fifty guards into the battle group. With the addition of the new force, the defense line soon stabilized again. After the soldiers of the Hu Ben Army took over the defense, Huang Wudie retreated again.
Seeing this, Li Gui in the heavy infantry raised his fighting power and shouted: "Protective Guard Battalion, follow me to charge!"
As he said, he rushed to the defense line of the Hu Ben Camp. Seeing this, the personal guards around him hurriedly followed and rushed forward together. In Li Gui's opinion, there was no one left in the coalition army, and they actually used a female general to cover the rear. Although he also saw that the female general on the opposite side seemed to be strong, he still believed from the bottom of his heart that no matter how strong she was, she would not be able to reach anywhere. In order to break through the defense line of the Hu Ben Camp faster, he directly killed her.
"Kill..."
With the addition of Li Gui, the heavy infantry's fighting spirit became stronger. Although Li Gui was just an ordinary general, his fighting power was far greater than that of the heavy armored soldiers. Under his assault, the defense line of the Hu Ben Camp was broken again.
Seeing this, Huang Wudie went to meet him face to face. She also saw that the general in front of her was the commander of the heavy infantry. If he could be killed, it would be of great help to the war.
"Get out of the way, let me meet this colleague in the future!" Huang Wudie said to the soldiers of the Huben Camp who were struggling to hold on. Upon hearing this, all the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and retreated to both sides, leaving Li Gui in front of Huang Wudie.
With a delicate shout, Huang Wudie turned over and dismounted, attacking Li Gui. If it was against ordinary soldiers, Huang Wudie would not dismount to fight. Now facing the opponent's commander, riding on a horse does not have much room to move, which is not conducive to her performance, so for the sake of safety, Huang Wudie chose to dismount and fight on foot.
The long sword flew and slashed towards Li Gui. Seeing this, Li Gui raised the weapon in his hand to block.
"Dang..."
The two weapons collided violently, and the huge impact made Li Gui's blood surge in his chest. He finally stopped it. At this time, Li Gui realized that he had underestimated the female general in front of him. She seemed weak, but in fact, her combat power was much stronger than his.
However, he could not think too much at this time. Huang Wudie's offensive offensive had been attacking him continuously, and Li Gui had to be extremely careful to deal with it.
After carefully dealing with a few moves, Li Gui knew that if he retreated again, he would soon be killed on the spot by this female general. At the critical moment of life and death, Li Gui did not care about anything else and shouted to the guards around him: "Hold her!" As he said that, he rushed towards Huang Wudie regardless of everything.
"Kill!"
The guards next to him quickly surrounded him and desperately attacked Huang Wudie. Although Huang Wudie was powerful, her actual combat experience was far less than Li Gui's. Seeing Li Gui and his guards fighting desperately, she subconsciously paused her offensive, but this pause made Li Gui out of her attack range. When Huang Wudie reacted and prepared to attack again, Li Gui had already retreated to the encirclement of the guards, and then retreated far into the encirclement of the heavy armored infantry.
In desperation, Huang Wudie had to deal with the Yuan Shu army soldiers in front of her before looking for opportunities.
After she stabilized the defense line again, Li Gui was heavily guarded by the heavy infantry, and even Huang Wudie's bow and arrow could not do anything to him.
However, in this battle, the offensive of Yuan Shu's army was slightly weaker, and their own commander was almost killed by the attack of the opponent's female commander, which reduced the morale of the heavy infantry who were attacking, and the offensive also weakened.
Although she was upset that she could not kill the opponent's commander on the spot, seeing that the offensive of Yuan Shu's army had declined, Huang Wudie was also relieved a little. Because the offensive of the heavy infantry declined, the defense of the soldiers of the Tiger Guard Camp also gradually stabilized.
However, the soldiers on both wings had already started fighting. Fortunately, the Yuanrong crossbowmen who had retreated thirty steps away had reloaded their crossbows. According to Zhao Lu's request, the Yuanrong crossbowmen were arranged in two rows, with two thousand soldiers in each row, and divided into two waves, and began to block and shoot at the back of the battle area.
Considering the continuity of the arrows' attack, Zhao Lu asked the crossbowmen to control the speed so that there would not be a clear gap between the two rounds.
When the full battle was in progress on the blocking battlefield, the cavalry several miles to the east also started fighting. Hu Yandu's 5,000 cavalrymen had surrounded the more than 3,000 cavalrymen of Ji Ling's army, but did not engage in battle with them. Instead, they used the characteristics of the cavalry's cavalry shooting to use cavalry shooting around the Ji Ling army cavalry to wear down their combat power.
No matter which direction Yuan Shu's cavalry attacked the cavalry, the cavalry would flee far away with a whistle and would not engage with them at all. This made Yuan Shujun's cavalry feel very aggrieved. It was very uncomfortable to be beaten without being able to fight back. After being hit by several rounds of arrows, the cavalry general also realized that the other party simply wanted to wear away all his cavalry in this way.
Soon, he came up with a way. Since you are unwilling to fight me, well, I will risk losing some of my cavalry to attack your infantry formation and see how you can hide?
Thinking of this, the cavalry general gave an order, and more than three thousand cavalry rushed towards the battlefield where the infantry were fighting. Seeing this situation, Huyandu knew that his thoughts had been seen through by the other party. In desperation, Huyandu had no choice but to order the assault cavalry in charge of hunting in the west to block it. The cavalry from other directions quickly approached and killed the more than 3,000 soldiers regardless of the loss. The cavalry surrounded and attacked here.
Seeing that his strategy had taken effect, Yuan Shu's cavalry general laughed loudly: "Haha... Dog thief, let me show you the power of the Central Plains cavalry today!"
As he said that, he pulled out the long sword from his waist and shouted: "My sons! Let me kill the thief!" As he said that, he shook the reins and roared away towards the more than a thousand cavalry blocking his army.
