Chapter 336 (1/2)

Half the Xiliang Cavalry engaged against the Urban Ar men to join the battle A bloodbath happened all over the battlefield Liu Mang only have about one thousandCavalry was not faring any better More than two thousand of the Xiliang Cavalry have also perished The ones that were too injured to continue fighting was around one thousand in number If this was truly a decisive battle, the victor would be Liu Mang

Although the Urban Army has less than a thousand people, their Tortoise Forer This is because there would be less to defend and the soldiers would be able to use their strengths together Besides that, the corpses of their co down the Xiliang Cavalry

“Rear guards! Follow me!” Hu Che Er knew that he would not be able to capture the battlefield in front of him anymore Even if he were to win, the casualties would be too heavy Since the front would not work, then he should simply attack from the sides It would be a waste if he does not uard and his ed the eneuards with him He wanted to bypass the Tortoise Foruard and the uard could simply keep the Tortoise For Cavalry was foruard had immediately turned the moment Hu Che Er shouted Their movements were extremely s?” Liu Ye stood by the ballista as he watched Hu Che Er’s uards had about two thousand men whichCavalry as even just two hundred of theh to take him and the ballista out

“Military Advisor Are they planning to escape?” An Urban Army 1000-man commander asked He had worked with Liu Ye for many times already The development of the ballista at Shouchun had been done by these soldiers of the Urban Army

“Escape? Impossible!” Liu Ye shook his head It was impossible for Hu Che Er to escape as he would die if he tried Liu Mang had sent the Xiliang Cavalry a challenge and claiainst the Wolf Cavalry if it was not because of the a Cavalry This was still alright if the Xiliang Cavalry won but if they had lost, the state Xiu would definitely kill Hu Che Er if this happened Besides that,Cavalry was already here He could not leave them behind If Hu Che Er decides to continue the battle, they would still have a chance to live This is because as long as Hu Che Er wins the battle, he would be able to explain hi Cavalry They would also be able to obtain Liu Mang’s head

Liu Mang’s head was priceless and could even iven to hi would be half won The second i was the Urban Army’s armor There were a total of two thousand five hundred ar Cavalry while Liu Mang’s head could be exchanged for horses The Xiliang Cavalry was not like the White Horses or the Wolf Cavalry They do not care whether their troops were Qiang or Han So, all the Xiliang Cavalry needs was training

The third i was the ballista Hu Che Er fully understood theCavalry suffered heavy casualties If he could take it and learn how toXiu’s Ar sold to Sun Ce was tens of thousands of gold Cao Cao could not even buy this with money On top of that, this was the old ballista The current ballista was even er needed to be afraid that Zhang Xiu would rebuke him

“Flank the Cavalry turned towards their objective The Urban Ar Cavalry This two thousand Xiliang Cavalry took the chance to avoid the Urban Arive a response1

“Not good!” Liu Ye was startled Hu Che Er truly could not be underesti to use most of his army to hold back the Urban Army so that he could attack his main objective With the Urban Army occupied, they became unable to protect the ballista On the other hand, the cavalry had good mobility By the time the Urban Army could react to this, the ballista would already be destroyed

“Military Advisor Do not worry” Just as soon as Liu Ye wanted to order a retreat, an Urban Army 1000-man commander said, “Milord had already expected this to happen!” Liu Mang had taken note of this when he looked at the terrain He knew that his Urban Army were elites and could execute the Tortoise Formation flawlessly However, he also realized that he was severely outnu Cavalry which was four ti was formidable, he could only hold out five thousand soldiers atthree thousand would becoht now, Hu Che Er still had two thousand soldiers that could not be ignored Afterof the ballista and created a crossfire

“H split up the ballista into three groups The first group of ballista at the centre is to prevent the ene two groups of ballista at both sides was to prevent the ene

There was no need for the ballista to change directions The ballista on one side si towards them

“Aim and fire!” A few 1000-man commanders shouted Twenty ballista roared out Pressure had reduced on the vanguard and the uards were faced withCavalry at the frontlines bore the brunt of the attacked and were killed on the spot The others behind them were also unfortunate With the corpses in front of theet themselves shot as well

“damn it!” Hu Che Er did not suffer any injuries thanks to the protection frorievances

“Move back the defensive line!” Liu Mang noticed the situation and had the soldiers advance towards the ballista Hu Che Er lost five hundred soldiers before realizing that he had lost his opportunity Besides that, his atteainst the Urban Ar the Urban Arer possible

“Well played! One of us will die here!” Hu Che Er’s fearsoh he had suffered heavy losses, he still had thousands of Xiliang Cavalry On the other hand, Liu Mang only had around eight hundred soldiers that could still fight If he could eli five Xiliang Cavalry soldiers for one Urban Arer have a way out! Kill the Fake King Liu Mang Three ranks of pro and another hundred for every ene Cavalry acted violently, Liu Ye coldly looked at their horses He knew that his Lord wanted to form a cavalry They were able to find the riders but not horses It was hard to buy horses at the Central Plains At that time, the only places they could buy horses at was Hebei and Liaodong Hebei was about to change ownershi+p but Cao Cao would be evenalso did not go out to the sea and could not buy fro was also too poor to buy horses There were five thousand horses here and it would be worth five hundred thousand gold if they could obtain the wants were now here AlthoughCavalry’s horses had been killed by the ballista, there were stillCavalry, there should still be a few thousand horses re his urge as it was too risky This is because the Xiliang Cavalry had becole mistake ritted his teeth when he thought about the izhou had a group of soldiers like the Wolf Cavalry, the battle would not have ended up like this There would be more flexibility Liu Bei would also not be able to carry off the provisions at Ruyin With a cavalry of five thousand, Xu Shu would be able to order Zhao Yun to patrol outside the walls of Shouchun If Liu Bei attacked Zhao Yun’s cavalry, Xu Shu would be able to attack Liu Bei’s rear On the other hand, Liu Bei would be too afraid to leave a cavalry of five thousand roaah! Aim the riders!” Liu Ye chose to have the ballista shoot the riders and not the horses This was difficult to do as the horses were a bigger target Before this, the ballista could cause heavy casualties By shooting the horse, the rider would fall off and get tra the riders2

“Military advisor?” The Urban Arht now, their priority was to wipe out the Xiliang Cavalry instead of obtaining horses The Urban Arer

“Milord would understand radually replied In a chaotic world, one could not only see the things in front of the to need horses regardless of whether Liu Mang wanted them Even the Wolf Cavalry needed horses to make a comeback but horses were not easy to buy

“Wei Yan!” Liu Ye suddenly called out to the 1000-eneral is present!” Wei Yan replied as he cupped his fist to Liu Ye Liu Mang had wanted to polish Wei Yan instead of blindly sending Wei Yan to his death After receivingthe empty city, he was promoted to a 1000-man commander

“Wei Yan I order you to leave a hundred soldiers behind to be responsible for the ballista Take the re four hundred soldiers up and assist Milord!” Liu Ye said to Wei Yan The hundred soldiers left behind wasthe ballista There were more soldiers around simply to help turn, reload and protect the ballista However, Liu Ye wanted the horses and so, one clip of a troops were dispatched

“Military Advisor?” Wei Yan was not willing to accept this co had ordered Wei Yan to protect Liu Ye and the ballista In fact, Liu Ye had to be protected even at the cost of all the ballista and his own life If Wei Yan were to leave, he would be disobeying orders
