Chapter 443 The Battle Outside the City
The [-] original army formed a neat phalanx and slowly pursued the Maodun army that had left Jicheng.
The generals of the Jiuyuan Army who left the city knew very well that Mao Dun obviously wanted to break through Jicheng.The reason why he chose to give up the siege of Jicheng was precisely because Jicheng was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Mao Dun didn't want to suffer losses.Leaving Jicheng and heading north was just a deliberate move by Mao Dun.
At the speed of the Huns cavalry, the journey of more than [-] miles is only half an hour.Perhaps the Jiuyuan army had already gotten the news just after they left the city, and now the Xiongnu army has begun to turn around and rush towards Jicheng.
Therefore, Li Gang and other generals of the Jiuyuan Army who left the city were not in a hurry at all.
Mao Dun abandoned the city and went north just to force the Jiuyuan army out of the city. Now that the Jiuyuan army has already left the city, there is no need to rush to chase the Huns, the Huns will naturally come to them.
Sure enough, the Jiuyuan Army's phalanx moved slowly, and within half an hour, the ground began to tremble slightly, and the sound of rolling thunder came from far away in the northern sky. In less than a moment, the overwhelming Hun cavalry had appeared in the north on the horizon.
At this time, the [-] soldiers of the original army had just left Jicheng less than ten miles away.
Seeing the densely packed Huns cavalry at the end of their line of sight, the Jiuyuan Army did not stop advancing immediately, but continued to greet the Huns cavalry.
What Mao Dun was waiting for was for the Jiuyuan Army to leave the city, but what he didn't expect was that the Jiuyuan Army would come out just after he left Jicheng less than fifty miles away.
The distance of more than ten miles is just the blink of an eye.
The Xiongnu cavalry all over the mountains and plains, except for the two wings because they had to go around in circles to outflank the Jiuyuan Army, were farther away, and the part of the Xiongnu cavalry recessed in the middle was less than five or six miles away from the Jiuyuan Army's infantry phalanx.
In the hedgehog-shaped infantry phalanx of the Nine Plains Army, the war drums never stopped.Every time the drum beat fell, the blood of the Jiuyuan Army soldiers boiled a little bit.Seeing the Hun cavalry getting closer and closer, the majestic fighting spirit in my heart could hardly be suppressed.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
I don't know who was the first to call out these three words.There were only a few shouts at the beginning, and then it turned into an earth-shattering shout of the whole army.The soldiers of the Nine Plains Army beat the armor on their chests with their copper swords, and shouted three words of killing in unison.
The sound of the collision of weapons and armor, and the sound of murderous shouts immediately resounded throughout the world, overshadowing the overwhelming roar of horseshoes.
The soaring murderous aura reached its peak at this moment.
Visible to the naked eye, with the sudden burst of shouts from the infantry phalanx of the Jiuyuan Army, the Huns cavalry who ran at the front and closest to the infantry phalanx of the Jiuyuan Army, at least a few The ten riders stumbled and fell to the ground because the horses were frightened. Before the Huns cavalry on the horses even had time to scream, they were trampled into flesh by the countless Huns cavalry who followed them.
Obviously, the Jiuyuan Army is absolutely unwilling to enter Yuyang and Youbeiping counties with its hundreds of thousands of cavalry.
The roar of the horseshoes of the Huns cavalry changed from rolling and muffled thunder to a loud noise, and more than [-] Huns cavalry formed a huge half-moon to outflank the infantry phalanx of the Jiuyuan Army that appeared in the wilderness.
More than [-] cavalry charged.Looking around, the entire land is basically covered by the Huns all over the mountains and plains, and countless war horses gallop.The momentum cannot be described as grand, and the momentum cannot be described as shocking.
The soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army walking in the wilderness could clearly feel that the whole earth was trembling.And this trembling gradually turned into trembling as the Huns cavalry approached, and finally gradually gave people the feeling that the whole world was sitting on their chairs.
In just a moment, the Hun cavalry, which was originally the size of a fingernail.Has become a normal human size.The distance between the two sides is now less than five miles.
"Boom boom boom!"
The dull sound of war drums suddenly sounded from the center of the Jiuyuan Army, which was walking slowly.
With the sound of the war drum, the [-] infantry of the three Nine Plains Army infantry phalanxes that were slowly moving forward all stopped.The soldiers of the Qin Army in the three infantry phalanxes were then tightly closed into a huge and well-organized phalanx.
Immediately afterwards, there was a muffled sound of "bang bang bang".[-] Jiuyuan army infantry holding huge shields more than one foot high stepped out and put down the huge iron-covered shield in their hands around the huge phalanx formed by [-] Qin army infantry.
But in a short time, there was an extra circle of steel walls made up of giant shields more than one foot high at the outermost edge of the Jiuyuan Army's infantry phalanx.Enclose the infantry phalanx firmly in this steel city wall.
As soon as the big shield was placed, the spearmen holding spears and daggers stepped forward one after another to stick closely behind the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army who were holding huge shields, and used spears and daggers more than three feet long to deal with the cavalry's charge. The tail of the spear was inserted obliquely upside down into the soil, and the body stood sideways, holding the spear body tightly in his arms with both hands.Let the sharp spear tip or spear tip point at the sky through the deliberately vacated gap in the middle of the giant shield.
The infantry phalanx of the Jiuyuan Army, which was originally surrounded by a giant shield as if covered with a layer of tortoise shells, turned into a domineering giant hedgehog in just a short while, with sharp spears and spears. The head shone with a frightening cold light in the sun.
Originally, the tens of thousands of Jiuyuan Army cavalry who had been slowly riding their horses and following behind the three Jiuyuan Army infantry phalanx, after the integration of the front Jiuyuan Army was completed, Li Gang, Mengmeng, Zhao Zhan, and Li Gang were blindfolded by four people. They all moved under the leadership.
However, the fine cavalry of the Jiuyuan Army did not go towards the Hun cavalry who rushed over.Instead, he turned his horse's head and headed towards Jicheng, seemingly abandoning these tens of thousands of infantry and wanting to return to the city.
The Xiongnu cavalry formed a huge half-moon arc and surrounded the infantry of the Jiuyuan Army arrayed in the wilderness.The middle part obviously slowed down the speed of the horse, while the Huns cavalry on the two wings beat the horses under their crotches desperately, apparently trying to surround the [-] Qin army infantry.
They didn't worry at all that these Jiuyuan troops who dared to go out of the city could escape.
The gap between two legs and four legs can be known with your toes.Who can beat who?On the contrary, the Xiongnu barbarians hoped that the Jiuyuan Army could escape.
After all, the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army who fled would not be able to form a complete battle formation.And once the Qin army did not have a battle formation to fight on their own, facing the overwhelming Hun cavalry at least five times that of the Jiuyuan army, basically the only way to go was to destroy the entire army.
The distance of more than ten miles is just the blink of an eye.
The Xiongnu cavalry all over the mountains and plains, except for the two wings because they had to go around in circles to outflank the Jiuyuan Army, were farther away, and the part of the Xiongnu cavalry recessed in the middle was less than five or six miles away from the Jiuyuan Army's infantry phalanx.
In the hedgehog-shaped infantry phalanx of the Nine Plains Army, the war drums never stopped.Every time the drum beat fell, the blood of the Jiuyuan Army soldiers boiled a little bit.Seeing the Hun cavalry getting closer and closer, the majestic fighting spirit in my heart could hardly be suppressed.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
I don't know who was the first to call out these three words.There were only a few shouts at the beginning, and then it turned into an earth-shattering shout of the whole army.The soldiers of the Nine Plains Army beat the armor on their chests with their copper swords, and shouted three words of killing in unison.

The soaring murderous aura reached its peak at this moment.

Before the Huns cavalry on the horses even had time to scream, they were trampled into flesh by the countless Huns cavalry who followed them.
The Jiuyuan Army didn't care about all this.Because at this time, the sound of the war drums, which was originally steady, began to become hasty, and the drums sounded one after another like big beads and small beads falling on a jade plate.
Looking at the mighty Qin army in front of him, Mao Dun's heart skipped a beat.
It looks like today will be another bloody battle.
