Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2579 The two armies clashed in a fierce battle; Ren Gui shot Gongsun with three arrows.

"Form a circular formation and hold your ground!"

Xue Rengui boarded a chariot, stood on high ground, and looked out at the White Horse Cavalry patrolling all around.

He had already sent out all the cavalry, leaving only infantry in his central army. As long as the White Horse Cavalry did not break through his lines, they could not pose a threat to the White Horse Cavalry and could only passively take hits here.

However, Xue Rengui didn't care.

In any case, even if they were passively attacked while defending with all their might, the White Horse Cavalry's mounted archery could only inflict limited damage on them.

Time, however, is on their side.

Once his 20,000 cavalrymen had broken through the enemy's central army and killed Liu Bei, his White Horse Cavalry wouldn't be able to cause any real trouble.

However, under these circumstances, Qinghan dared not easily break through the formation. With a large number of infantrymen fully engaged in forming a defensive array, their light cavalry certainly could not afford to charge in recklessly.

Fortunately, the quality of the strategists within Qinghan was also quite good, and Feng Hou had already anticipated this situation before they went into battle.

Therefore, Liu Bei did not hesitate any longer and immediately raised his banner. Under Zhang Fei's protection, he even made a few public appearances, but he quickly retreated back into the White Horse Cavalry.

After all, Liu Bei was not Qin Ming; he didn't want to be suddenly shot by an arrow.

However, even so, it was enough for Xue Rengui to realize that Liu Bei was not in the central army, but in the White Horse Cavalry.

"Liu Xuande, you're really bold!"

After confirming Liu Bei's existence, Xue Rengui chuckled coldly.

He transferred all 2 cavalry to attack the enemy's central army, but it seems he came up empty-handed.

However, even if Liu Bei was not in the enemy's central army, Xue Rengui did not intend to recall that part of the troops.

We've already entered a state of war; it's not so easy to just withdraw. If we're not careful, what was originally a good situation could turn into a rout.

Therefore, it would be better to make the best of a bad situation and let this part of the troops continue to rout the enemy's central army.

Immediately afterwards, Xue Rengui changed the formation, causing the central army, which had formed an impregnable defensive formation, to spread out to the left and right, as if directly exposing Xue Rengui in the middle.

Xue Rengui's actions were risky, both for himself and for Liu Bei's side.

By doing so, Xue Rengui exposed himself, giving Liu Bei the possibility of leading the White Horse Cavalry directly to his command post.

However, once the White Horse Cavalry enters, the Jin army troops scattered to the left and right will immediately encircle their rear.

Next, it was time for both sides to fight each other.

If Liu Bei could deal with Xue Rengui first, then he would naturally have achieved great success.

However, if Xue Rengui could withstand the White Horse Cavalry's charge, the White Horse Cavalry would be completely surrounded, and it would be difficult for them to escape.

For Xue Rengui, the most important figure in this battle was Liu Bei.

As the emperor of Qinghan, only by taking him down can this battle be considered a final victory; otherwise, the battle is not over.

His importance alone surpasses that of everyone else in Qinghan combined.

A nation's power is only a unified entity when its ruler is alive. If he is gone, the power, even if not destroyed, is a disorganized mess, easily defeated.

Therefore, after confirming that Liu Bei was not in the central army but within the White Horse Cavalry, Xue Rengui was willing to take the risk.

The defensive formation that had been arranged in a circular pattern meant that Liu Bei had no hope of success if he charged into it.

But now, by deliberately revealing his weakness, he has also spread his net, letting his opponent see the flaw, and now it remains to be seen whether they dare to run into it.

After all, Xue Rengui was not a commander like Han Xin or Li Jing who lacked practical skills. His practical skills were among the best of all the top commanders in the world today.

Back when Xue Rengui first debuted, he was first made famous not for his status as a famous general, but for his status as a fierce general.

Famous generals like Han Xin or Li Jing might not take such a risky approach, but Xue Rengui was different. Even if someone suddenly attacked him, it was still uncertain who would kill whom!

Xue Rengui had already set up his net, and Liu Bei rushed in without hesitation.

Having fought this far, Qinghan had already lost all hope of victory.

To put it bluntly, Liu Bei fought this battle as a final, all-or-nothing effort, to unleash the last vestiges of the might of the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty was born in glory, and even its demise should be a magnificent one.

Therefore, he was already prepared to die.

Seeing that they could severely damage the Jin army's command center, what was there to hesitate about?
"boom!"

After a final wave of mounted archery, the White Horse Cavalry charged straight at them.

The Jin soldiers in the first few rows were knocked away, but similarly, the white horsemen charging at the front had their horses riddled with spears.

From the very beginning, the two sides engaged in the most brutal battle.

Those who were kept here by Xue Rengui were undoubtedly the elite of the troops, with a much higher ability to withstand pressure than the other troops.

Even as they watched their comrades being knocked away by warhorses one by one, the soldiers behind them immediately rushed forward with their spears, piercing the warhorses and knocking them away as well.

After that, the cycle continued indefinitely.

After the two sides entered close combat, many fierce generals from Qinghan who had been hidden among the White Horse Cavalry rushed to the front.

Among them, the most eye-catching are naturally the three brothers of the Peach Garden, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, and the Yellow Robe.

Although there were still fierce generals like Xie Wuyun and Liu Chenxiang in Qinghan, both of them were in the enemy's central army.

While a surprise attack on Xue Rengui's central army certainly requires concentrating forces, it doesn't mean all forces should be mobilized. After all, when Liu Bei and his men attacked Xue Rengui's central army, their own central army was also facing Xue Rengui's full-scale attack.

At the same time, they must ensure that their central army is strong enough to hold out until their operation succeeds.

The same principle applies to Xue Rengui's side. Even though he sent out Xing Tian and Kong Xuan, he still kept Gao Chong and Jin Tai in his central army.

In a battle between two armies, the central command is the command system for both sides. Even if the defenses in other areas are weak, the defenses in this area cannot be neglected.

On the Jin army's side, Xue Rengui personally joined the battle. Before he even charged into the White Horse Cavalry, the Zhen Tian Divine Bow had already fallen into his hands.

"Ding! Xue Rengui's three arrows..."
