The other craftsmen, who were also sweating profusely from the heat, responded to Hua Xiong and walked aside to rest.

The military style in the Xiliang army is very similar to the folk customs in Xiliang. Due to the mixed living with the Qiang and other ethnic minorities, the local Han people are also very tough and bold, so the relationship between the generals and soldiers in the army is not like that in other parts of the Central Plains.

The army is so hierarchical, but Xu Rong is an exception when he gets serious.

After resting for a while, Hua Xiong saw another cavalry coming from Juechen. Needless to say, the cavalry immediately called on the craftsmen to get up, put on their armor and prepare to go into battle.

"General! The enemy's offensive is too fierce! If this continues, we will definitely fall!" A lieutenant general couldn't bear to see the casualties of Jiangdong's soldiers again, and said to Zu Mao earnestly.

Zu Mao, who had a stubble on his face, was also struggling in his heart. It would only be a matter of time before the Xiliang Army fell in an attack with such strength. Whether to retreat or not would depend on weighing the pros and cons.

Sun Teng has handed over the command here to Zu Mao, and Zu Mao naturally has the right to order a retreat.

But Zu Mao was always only a second-rate general. Strictly speaking, in the Three Kingdoms era when heroes abounded, he could only be classified as a third-rate general. This indecisiveness was a taboo among military strategists.

"Break!" the Xiliang army roared. The cavalry first crossed the defense fence. A few cavalry were shot and killed by random arrows or giant horns. After a small number of cavalry broke through, they disrupted the enemy's formation. Dozens of infantry were not afraid.

I had to move the fence away, but I used the quickest way to destroy the fence and welcome more comrades to rush in and crush the enemy.

This seemingly ordinary method led the Xiliang army to attack for nearly a month.

Before that, the fence was covered with leather and other items to prevent fire attacks, and there were a large number of soldiers and archers defending behind the fence. As long as the Xiliang cavalry came close, they would be stabbed to death. Over time, no one felt the urge to charge.

.

Xiliang's army had few crossbows and few bows, so it was impossible to launch a fierce attack before attacking. Until recently, Xu Rong sent Li Meng with hundreds of troops to go to Sishui Pass in person to collect most of the arrow feathers used to guard the pass.

, this dilemma was solved, and coupled with the fierce attacks in recent days, the Allies suffered heavy casualties.

"No! The first line of defense has been breached!" A panicked soldier quickly ran to the "command center" where Zu Mao was located to report. This made everyone present panic. On the relatively flat frontal battlefield, once

The defense line was breached, and the result was that they were trampled by the angry Xiliang cavalry, and no one could escape!

"Order, all the soldiers in the reserve battalion begin to retreat to the second line of defense. All the guard battalions mount their horses and go to find the young master. Send someone to notify General Yu She to come for support. Brothers who are defending the defense line... don't notify them.

, otherwise everyone will not be able to escape." Zu Mao ordered with a gloomy face, everyone present

No one wanted to accept this order, but no one stood up to oppose it. Judging from the current situation, this is undoubtedly the best result. If the soldiers on the front line are notified of the retreat, they will immediately collapse.

Then the defense will be in vain, and it will only lead to greater casualties.

"Yes...yes!" Several soldiers ran out and passed their orders. Zu Mao and several lieutenants also stood up and prepared to retreat.

The guard battalion is the unit responsible for protecting these generals. Not only are they all elite men of more than 10 years in length, but they are also equipped with war horses. The entire Pinghu Mountain defense force has no more than a thousand war horses, because a large number of war horses only
