Chapter 237 The bow is like a thunderbolt, and the arrow is like a meteor chasing the moon

Among the fields that had been harvested outside Yecheng, large legions on both sides were facing each other.

Gao Huan's strength is much stronger than Yuwen Tai's, and the troops under his command can mobilize made Yuwen Tai's eyes red in envy.

He beat Yuwen Tai in Mangshan, and Gao Huan brought an army of 200,000.

This is also the reason why Wang Xiao was able to sweep across the country so easily. The local garrisons were taken away.

After these days of consumption, there were still as many as 150,000 to Gao Huan.

On the other side of Wang Xiao, there are obviously much less.

Wang Xiao used the caravan as a spy to learn early that Gao Huan and Yuwen Tai reconciled and led the army north to Yecheng.

Although the strategy of driving tigers and swallowing wolves failed, Wang Xiao had already made enough money.

After calculating the distance between the two sides to Yecheng, he decisively left behind a large number of infantrymen who were slow to move and personally brought more than 40,000 cavalrymen to come over at a speed.

Even if the strategy is used to the extreme, it will eventually be presented on the battlefield.

Gao Huan had many soldiers, and he drove over in a mighty manner like a tsunami collapse, giving people a very strong sense of oppression.

Wang Xiao didn't care about this. He had seen many such scenes.

The elite cavalry under his command followed him across the Tianshan Mountains, sweeping inside and outside the grasslands, and rampant in various parts of Guandong. Of course, they would not be frightened by this scene in front of him.

In the eyes of these cavalry, the more than 100,000 troops were just merits that could walk.

Wang Xiao adopts the military merit system, and if he wins on the battlefield, he can get corresponding rewards and treatments. Even his family will benefit from it.

These elite knights under his command are all carefully selected veterans.

Wearing an iron helmet, wearing three layers of armor, bracelet, and trap armor. Holding a strong bow and crossbow, long soldiers hang on the hook, and a horizontal sword behind the horse.

The organization is organized according to five, ten, hundreds, thousands, and ten thousand.

They have experienced a long battle, are experienced and cooperate with each other.

Facing Gao Huanjun who was pressing over, Wang Xiao continued to send troops to attack, looking for the weak points of his opponent.

These cavalry are one man and three horses.

Riding horses are used to march, while pack horses are used to carry armor, weapons, rations, tents and other supplies. Those who carry heavy loads, have strong impact and have good endurance are real war horses used to fight.

These war horses are all selected from the best, and most of them are tall horses selected from the Western Regions and other places. They have strong weight-bearing capabilities, which are enough to support heavy-equipped cavalrymen to fly back and forth.

Relying on the speed of the war horses, the cavalry continued to attack Gao Huanjun. Especially when they rushed nearby, they were a round of arrows and crossbow arrows, and the tactic of immediately deviating and leaving made Gao Huanjun feel irresistible.

Gao Huan was very angry and ordered his general Peng Le to lead thousands of cavalry to resist harassment.

Peng Le's cavalry also wore iron armor and had great combat effectiveness.

Moreover, they are extremely brave. Even if the number varies greatly, they dare to rush directly to the formation without hesitation.

The cavalry that was interspersed with Wang Xiao were broken several teams by Peng Le's troops because they were not prepared enough.

Wang Xiao, who was watching the battle from afar, saw this scene and immediately ordered "Turn them over and shoot the horse."

Peng Le was very brave, but his head was not very smart. He came to chase him without hesitation in the face of the trap and then fell into a siege.

Under the flying rain of arrows, a large number of war horses were shot and the cavalry fell to the ground one after another.

Then the army attacked and charged back and forth twice to directly destroy Peng Le's troops.

Because Gao Huan's infantry speed was slow, there was no time to rescue him.

However, Peng Le also bought time for them and completed the formation.

A large number of crossbowmen stepped forward to shoot at the cavalry, effectively curbing the impact and harassment of Wang Xiao's cavalry.

And all of this is just an appetizer.

Wang Xiao finally moved.

He personally led two ten thousand cavalry to search for a breakthrough around Gao Huan's formation.

When he determined the direction of the assault, the low sound of the horn suddenly echoed throughout the fields.

Hundreds and thousands of teams began to attack Gao Huan's army from all directions, causing their formation to continue to loosen and become confused. At the same time, they also restrained the attention of the crossbowman.

When Gao Huan's command showed signs of loosening at the junction of Wei Xingqing and Duan Shao's troops, Wang Xiao immediately fell down and rushed over with two ten thousand cavalrymen.

The momentum of thousands of troops charging was extremely amazing.

Duan Shao and Wei Xingqing made a mistake in cooperation and failed to form a formation to block the loose formation at the first time.

When they finally realized it, the extremely fast cavalry cluster was already rushing in on the ground.

Wang Xiao rode a real sweat-blooded BMW, which was tributed to him by caravans traveling to and from the Western Regions.

This BMW has extremely strong gravity, not only can it bear Wang Xiao, who is wearing heavy armor, but also has thick horse armor on it.

Wang Xiao, holding a spear, entered the formation and opened his arms. Wherever the spear swept, whether it was a heavy armored soldier holding a shield and a knife, or a crossbowman wearing half-armored armor, they were all smashed and flew out.

Two ten thousand cavalry formed a wedge-shaped formation, like a fiery sharp knife, cutting through Gao Huanjun's formation.

Wang Xiao, who was covered with heavy armor and only had two eyes exposed, was like a god and demon coming. A dragon in his hand flew over and broke through the military formations of Gao Huanjun one after another.

When his eyes suddenly became clear and there were no enemy soldiers blocking him, he had already left the army directly.

The originally dense Gao Huanjun military formation was cut into two pieces.

When Wang Xiao took two ten thousand cavalry around and then came back to rush back, Gao Huanjun completely collapsed.

In the era of cold weapons, infantry did have a low winning rate when facing cavalry field battles.

Gao Huan, who had rich experience in escaping, did not feel annoyed when the military formation collapsed.

Just go to the rescue after all the troops are exhausted. Saving your life is the most important thing.

Gao Huan led a group of confidant soldiers to head towards Yecheng not far away. As long as he could enter the back of the solid city wall, no matter how powerful the cavalry was, he would have no choice but to do anything to him.

He reacted very quickly, but his flag-holder was a little stupid. When he ran away, he was holding the flag tightly, fearing that others would not know where the commander was.

What's even more unlucky is that the flag moving towards Yecheng was seen by Wang Xiao.

There was nothing to hesitate, and Wang Xiao directly led the people to chase him.

In Gao Huan's opinion, Wang Xiao was doing useless work. After all, everyone was riding a horse, and he was obviously closer to Yecheng.

But the sweat-blooded BMW under Wang Xiao's crotch was extremely fast, and it ran like a bolt of lightning. It didn't take long to get closer.

He opened his bow and arrows, and the beaded arrows roared out. The personal soldiers blocked Gao Huan's back were successively dismissed.

Gao Huan, who felt something was wrong, turned around and watched, and was furious.

The bastard who beats the flag is what you bring to the person.

He instructed the guards around him to turn to block Wang Xiao, but Wang Xiao, who was holding a bow and arrow in his hand, was a super god-like existence on the battlefield.

Wang Xiao's strong physical fitness and endurance made him still show that he could not draw a bow even after dozens of arrows.

At this time, Gao Huan was very close to the city gate of Yecheng. Even the defenders on the top of the city saw his commanding flag and gradually opened the city gate. There were even a large number of soldiers holding shields behind the city gate.

At this time, only the flag-holding official was left beside Gao Huan.

Seeing that there were a few more breaths to rush into the city gate, Wang Xiao, who was chasing behind, took out a heavy iron arrow and pulled the five-stone strong bow in his hand into a full moon.

The bow is like a thunderbolt and the string is shocked, and the arrow is like a meteor chasing the moon.

When Gao Huan rode his horse into the city gate and the soldiers around him held shields to guard him behind him, sharp arrows roared and passed directly between the two giant shields, hitting hard on the heavy armor on Gao Huan's vest.

The huge impact force directly knocked Gao Huan off the horse.

Even though he was wearing three layers of heavy armor, he could not stop the heavy iron arrows from passing through.

Gao Huan, who was lying on the ground, tried hard to open his mouth, trying to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything.

Gao Huan, a powerful man who was once only one step away from unifying the world, fell into the gate of Yecheng.

As the core figure of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Gao Huan's death meant the collapse of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

Wang Xiao repaired the capital of Yecheng, the Eastern Wei city, for more than a month, and plundered various spoils such as food, supplies and other wars.

The autumn harvest was only recently, and the grains in the entire Yecheng and the aristocratic families with a large amount of land had already accumulated like mountains.

Now all these have become Wang Xiao’s.

Wang Xiao recruited too many soldiers along the way. Even though he had been limiting the scale, he still inevitably reached hundreds of thousands of scales.

If Wang Xiao wanted to support such a huge army, the only thing he could rely on was the capture and the plunder of aristocratic families.

He had never thought about living together peacefully for a long time when he was the cause of these disasters.

Wang Xiao had already decided on extermination of the family and reclaiming land and wealth.

His abolishment of Emperor Xiaojing Yuanshanjian marked the complete collapse of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

He sent troops to Shandong and Jianghuai to receive the city. After that, Wang Xiao and many infantry soldiers and carts and cannon fodders who had already caught up, crossed the Yellow River and drove towards Luoyang City.

He was about to continue his current momentum and clean up Yuwen Tai.

But unexpectedly, Yuwen Tai was very smart and returned to Chang'an City with his troops early.

The soldiers under Wang Xiao felt that the harvest this time had been very abundant, and they all wanted to go home.

But he was unmoved and still insisted on forcing the army to break the Hulao Pass and directly entered the Guanzhong and rushed towards Chang'an City.

Yuwen Tai, who had already learned how Gao Huan was defeated, did not go to fight Wang Xiao in the wild, but instead reduced his troops and supplies to station in Chang'an City.

His plan was that the autumn harvest had passed and Wang Xiao's supply line was long. Moreover, the rebellions of Gao Huan's old subordinates and aristocratic families in various parts of the Eastern Wei Dynasty were one after another. Wang Xiao could not have stayed in Guanzhong for too long.

Yuwen Tai underestimated Wang Xiao's toughness and persistence, and overestimated Wang Xiao's emphasis on various parts of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

In Wang Xiao's view, breaking Chang'an City and completely ending the Xianbei country is much more important than snatching territory and materials.

When the first heavy snow fell over Chang'an City, Wang Xiao brought a huge army of hundreds of thousands and pushed countless vehicles full of food and supplies outside Chang'an City.

Either don't do it or do it absolutely.

Since the fight has started, we have to knock all the opponents to the ground in one go.
