Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2577 Hou Yi's Arrow Shoots Out the First Bird, White Horse Cavalry Attacks the Jin Formation

In this battle, Qinghan gathered all the scattered troops from various places, totaling 40,000 men. Apart from the Qinghan navy stationed at the Qingzhou ferry, all the remaining Qinghan troops participated in this battle.

As for Xue Rengui, he mobilized as many as 120,000 troops, which was three times the size of Qinghan's forces.

After both sides' troops arrived, Liu Bei did not conduct any probing and immediately ordered a general offensive.

In the beginning, the three brothers Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei fought alongside Xue Rengui. Their friendship was very deep, whether on the Yellow Turban battlefield or later on the Dong Zhuo battlefield.

But decades have passed, and the comrades who once fought side by side have eventually begun this life-or-death struggle because of their respective positions.

Even when they met again, neither side was willing to exchange pleasantries; instead, they simply drew their knives directly.

"kill."

Liu Zhiyuan roared, brandished his golden sword, and charged ahead, followed by ten thousand elite soldiers whose momentum was like a rainbow.

"Ao Cao, General Hou Yi, you two lead 50,000 troops and advance head-on!" Xue Rengui gave the order directly.

With 120,000 troops fighting against 40,000, it's rare to fight such a well-funded battle.

Furthermore, considering the abundance of fierce generals in Qinghan, Xue Rengui even transferred three powerful generals—Xing Tian, ​​Kong Xuan, and Luo Xuan—from Guo Ziyi's command.

Although Guo Ziyi's troops were routed, his generals were still capable of serving.

Previously, Xue Rengui was in charge of Tian Dan's territory, while Guo Ziyi was in charge of Qingzhou, which was directly sending troops to Liu Bei from Xuzhou. Therefore, Xue Rengui transferred most of his fierce generals to Guo Ziyi's command.

Now, Guo Ziyi has greatly disappointed him, and he has no choice but to recall these people.

Although Qinghan's remaining forces were few, their quality was not bad, and their average quality was even slightly higher than Xue Rengui's Central Plains army.

Although the enemy forces were small, the White Horse Cavalry, White Feather Soldiers, Northern Army, and Swordsmen raised their average overall quality.

Although these elite battalions had suffered some losses in the previous battles, thanks to Liu Bei's deliberate preservation efforts, their main force remained intact.

"You traitor from Jin, take this beating from your grandfather and pay for my brother Song Jiang's life!"

Thunderbolt Qin Ming took the lead, and as the two armies were about to clash, the spiked club in his hand was already ready to be used.

Qin Ming had always had a good relationship with Song Jiang, and after Song Jiang's death in battle, his hatred for the Jin army deepened.

"Fool!" Hou Yi pulled a long arrow from his quiver on his horse, and his mocking voice rang out.

The general was always at the forefront of the charge, but not in such a way.

Generals only start to emerge from the main force after the two armies have made direct contact. They jump out even during the charge, as if they are afraid that others will not be able to find their position.
Isn't this just making ourselves easy targets for others?

Therefore, Hou Yi accepted it without hesitation.

In all his years in the military, he had rarely seen anyone jump out and become a live target like this!
"Look at the arrow!"

With a loud shout, Hou Yi leaped up, swiftly took the longbow from his back, nocked the arrow, drew the bow, and released it. The whole sequence of movements was fluid and seamless, without the slightest pause or hesitation.

"Ding! Hou Yi Shoots the Sun skill effect activated. Strength +10, base strength 107, equipment +2, current strength increased to 119."

The arrow shot out like a dragon; Qin Ming didn't even know what was happening before an iron arrow pierced his throat. "Brother Qin Ming!"

The sight of Qin Ming falling filled Hua Rong, who was charging forward with the army behind him, with immense grief.

He immediately looked in the direction from which the iron arrow had just been shot, but could only confirm Hou Yi's approximate location, and could not pinpoint Hou Yi's exact location among the advancing army.

Unlike Qin Ming, Hou Yi didn't jump out directly. Instead, he hid among the numerous soldiers. With the soldiers densely covering him, no one without X-ray vision could pinpoint Hou Yi's exact location; they could only make a rough estimate.

Qin Ming's death was just a minor incident on the battlefield.

His death could not hinder the advance of the Qinghan army, much less the advance of the Jin army.

Finally, the two armies clashed.

With a single, sweeping strike of his golden saber, Liu Zhiyuan cleaved through the enemy ranks, severing over a dozen spears and sending more than ten heads flying.

The Jin general Gao Ang was no less brave than Liu Zhiyuan. He thrust and stabbed with his long spear, killing the Qinghan soldiers who stood in his way.

Hou Yi, wielding his long spear, also displayed extraordinary skill.

During their charge, Zou Yuan and Zou Run spotted Hou Yi and thought they had a chance to avenge Qin Ming, who had just been shot down by Hou Yi.

But to their surprise, the two of them couldn't even defeat this melee archer. In fact, it wasn't that they couldn't defeat him, but rather that he completely overwhelmed them. In just five rounds, Hou Yi killed them both off their horses.

At the same time, Xue Rengui assigned all 20,000 cavalrymen to Xing Tian and Kong Xuan, the two bravest men in the army, to launch a surprise attack on Qing Han's central army along the right flank, directly mobilize the main cavalry force to deal with Liu Bei, and cleanly and decisively end the battle.

Luo Xuan and Gao Shun were appointed generals, leading 20,000 troops to attack the enemy's left flank in order to support Xing Tian and Kong Xuan.

Liu Bei's central army was not only protected by Chen Dao's white feather guards, but also by Liu Laozhi's Northern Army. Therefore, the defensive strength of the Qinghan Central Army was beyond doubt.

However, in this battle, Xue Rengui's army was too abundant, with 20,000 cavalrymen, plus the support of Luo Xuan's 20,000 troops, which was enough to destroy these obstacles.

Even elite battalions are not absolutely invincible.

Not to mention, Luo Xuan also has Gao Shun's elite Trapped Camp.

As both are elite battalions, in a head-on confrontation, with equal numbers, the Trapped Camp might not be able to defeat the White Horse Cavalry, but it would definitely be superior to the White Horse Army and the Northern Army.

Simply put, the equipment of the Trapped Camp is the best.

As for the White Horse Cavalry, it's probably because under normal circumstances, which general would use such light cavalry to charge into the enemy's heavy infantry formation?

Light cavalry like these, barring other factors, would naturally be invincible against heavy infantry, even if they couldn't win, as long as they didn't make any foolish mistakes.

At this time, the enemy's White Horse Cavalry was not in the central army; cavalry is not used for defense, but for offense.

Xue Rengui wanted to directly target the central army of Qinghan, and coincidentally, Qinghan also wanted to use the White Horse Cavalry to carry out a decapitation strike.

Therefore, while Xue Rengui was flanking from both sides, the White Horse Cavalry attacked from behind.

However, Xue Rengui remained vigilant, with 30,000 soldiers guarding him. It wouldn't be easy to behead him.
