Chapter 910: Counterattack on Ji Bao's Army

Thinking of this, Huang Wudie immediately ordered to use the Yuanrong crossbowmen as cover to suppress the opponent's archers with all their strength. Then send the Tiebi Camp as the vanguard to break through the opponent's army formation with all their strength, followed by the Tieying Ruishi, and the two schools of 10,000 soldiers from both wings to annihilate the 20,000 troops here as soon as possible.

"Woo woo..."

"Dongdong..."

The low horn sounded in the central army, and at the same time, the attacking drums were also beaten at the same time. The 17,000 troops quickly approached the Yuan Shu army formation. Behind the army, 4,000 crossbowmen also quickly followed up. When they were 80 steps south of the army formation, they stopped and launched an attack on Yuan Shu's army in formation.

At the same time, Ji Bao also ordered the archers to attack the approaching soldiers of the Tiebi Camp. Unfortunately, the archers in his hands could not reach the attack effect of the opponent's crossbowmen at all, and were quickly suppressed by the enemy's crossbows.

After ordering the army to start the attack, Huang Wudie ordered the lightly wounded soldiers to clean up the battlefield and the bodies of their own soldiers. By the way, they also found all the wounded soldiers who fell on the battlefield and carried them to the baggage carts at the back to the center of the army.

Of course, they also had a task, which was to recover the crossbows shot by the Yuanrong crossbowmen. Now that the army's rear road had been cut off, these crossbows were not yet in short supply, but for the sake of prudence, Zhao Lu still asked Huangfu Chaobo to order to collect as many crossbows as possible after the war to deal with emergencies.

In the previous hour of the battle, the Yuanrong crossbowmen had shot out three rounds of a total of 120,000 crossbows, so now Huang Wudie asked the wounded soldiers to try to recover all the crossbows.

As for the other soldiers, Huang Wudie ordered a quarter of an hour of rest, and then they would also be put into the battle, trying to wipe out this army before Ji Ling's army arrived, so as not to be late.

Huang Wudie's idea was correct, but she didn't expect that Yuan Shu's army's defensive formation was so strong. In fact, think about it, heavy infantry is a high-defense type of soldier, and its defense is indeed quite strong. Moreover, these heavy infantry were trained by Ji Ling for several years, so they are indeed very good at defense.

The main reason why Li Gui's heavy infantry was easily broken by the An Dong army was that they were first broken up by their own defeated soldiers, and then harassed by crossbows, which led to the defeat.

Now when Ji Bao was in formation, there were less than 4,000 heavy infantry left out of the 7,000 heavy infantry, but after the 4,000 heavy infantry were in formation, the strict formation actually blocked the first round of attack of the Tiebi Camp, which made the deputy general of the Tiebi Camp, Dian Zi, very angry, and he picked up the short halberd in his hand and attacked the shield wall of the heavy infantry.

Dian Zi is Dian Wei's cousin and Dian Man's uncle. Although his strength is not comparable to Dian Wei, his strength is 78. His command is OK, which is above the passing line. Moreover, he uses a double halberd like Dian Wei, so Huangfu Chaobo made him the deputy general of Tiebiying. He usually leads the troops together with Dian Wei. If Tiebiying goes out alone and Dian Wei needs to protect Huangfu Chaobo, Dian Zi will lead the troops, which is the case today.

"Kill!" With Dian Zi's loud shout, the double halberd attacked the shield in front of him like a storm. The heavy infantry in front of him was finally knocked to the ground by his halberd after holding on for less than ten moves.

Dian Zi was overjoyed. When he was about to kill into the shield wall, a heavy infantry behind him quickly stepped forward and took the position of the fallen soldier.

In desperation, Dian Zi had to raise his halberd and attack again, killing the heavy infantry again. This time, he was more careful and prepared to squeeze in while the soldier had not fallen yet. Who knew that the soldiers behind him were faster, and together with Ze Pao who had died in the battle, they squeezed outside the shield wall and blocked Dian Zi again.

Seeing this, Dian Zi's face turned green, he couldn't even attack in!

Turning back to look at other places, the situation was basically the same. The soldiers of the Tiebi Camp had strong attacks and strong defenses, but they couldn't break into the shield wall of the heavy infantry.

The soldiers of both sides were deadlocked. Just when Dian Zi thought he should think of another way, the Yuanrong crossbowmen behind him were already in place.

With Zhao Cen's order, thousands of crossbows were fired again, rushing straight at Yuan Shu's army like locusts. At the same time, 5,000 Iron Eagles also launched an attack on Yuan Shu's army from both sides of the Iron Wall Camp. Unfortunately, the Iron Eagles' attacks were no different from those of the Iron Wall Camp. They failed to break through Yuan Shu's army.

At this point, the generals of the Andong Army realized how powerful Ji Ling's heavy infantry was. Although the Andong Army defeated the heavy infantry twice, it was all by trickery, especially in Luoyang. If Zilong had not captured Ji Ling alive, how could Huangfu Chaobo have captured the 15,000 heavy infantry?

Today was the first time that the Andong Army attacked the heavy infantry of Ji Ling's army. The elites of the Iron Wall Camp and the Iron Eagles failed to break through their defenses after several attacks, which was enough to show how strong the defense capabilities of the rest were.

Huang Wudie saw all the previous battles. Seeing that several attacks failed to break through the opponent's defense, Huang Wudie was a little anxious. If she didn't capture it as soon as possible, Ji Ling's army would probably arrive soon. It has been more than an hour since the fire started in the camp. Ji Ling's army is only more than 20 miles away from here. It is estimated that they should be able to arrive within half an hour. We must capture it as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Huang Wudie raised the long sword in her hand and shouted: "Come here, lead the cavalry and prepare to charge!"

Just here, the cavalry commander Hu Yandu rode over and said: "General, we must intensify the attack, otherwise Ji Ling's army will be here soon."

"That's what I meant. Please ask General Huyan to arrange the cavalry to charge!" Huang Wudie said;

"General, I have a plan. I don't need cavalry to charge."

Huang Wudie was stunned and signaled Huyan to continue.

Huyan said: "When I surrounded and annihilated the cavalry of Yuan Shu's army, I got a lot of war horses, some of which were ordinary riding horses..."

Huyan didn't finish his words, Huang Wudie immediately realized that he was going to use ordinary riding horses to charge. The Anton Army was not short of horses. Such ordinary riding horses were rarely used in the army, so it was not a pity to use them to charge.

So, she immediately said: "Please ask General Huyan to arrange it immediately, quickly!"

"I obey the order!" Huyan turned around and left. When he came, he had asked people to lead those horses out separately. As long as Huang Wudie agreed, he could arrange it.

After Hu Yandu left, Huang Wudie issued an order: "All troops, move out. This time we must break through the defense of Yuan Shu's army."

Then, the drums of the central army sounded again. Nearly 10,000 soldiers who had rested quickly approached the direction of the fighting army. Huang Wudie's military order was quickly passed to Dian Zi and Chen Jing who were fighting in front. The two began to make arrangements without making any noise.
