Since the Zhennan Army had already shouted the mighty slogan of the prince, Li Bin was not going to let his eldest son Li Jie continue to participate in the battle.

After the Grassland Alliance learned that the general was the prince of Zhennan Army, it would be awful if he made any tricks.

On the grassland coalition side, the Hurong Khan Xi Rilige's face had become very ugly.

Haojige and Mantashan are both masters of the Hu Rong clan and are both powerful generals of the Grandmaster level. However, they both died in front of the two armies. This is not a small loss for the Hu Rong clan.

The powerful general at the Grandmaster level is not Da Baicai. There are only six powerful generals at the Grandmaster level in the entire Hu Rong clan. Now, just met with Zhennan Army, they lost two powerful generals at the Grandmaster level, which made Hu Rong clan Khan Xi Rilige feel both distressed and angry.

The Khan Tojire, the Seyfal tribe, coughed and said, "The fierce generals of the Southern Army in Yanguozhen are indeed powerful. I think it is better to directly send cavalry to launch a charge and test the reality of the Southern Army in Yanguozhen."

There are currently five powerful generals of the Grandmaster level among the Sei Falcon tribe. Originally, the Khan of the Sei Falcon tribe, Tojire, also intends to send one or two powerful generals of the Grandmaster level to fight to demonstrate the strength of the Sei Falcon tribe.

But when he saw Haojige and Mantashan, two powerful generals who were striking the grassland, were killed, he immediately extinguished his plan to send the generals of the Falcon tribe to appear.

The Khan of the Eastern Qiang tribe Asgahi immediately shouted loudly: "Which tribe's warriors are willing to charge against the southern army in Yanguo Town first?"

As soon as Asgai finished speaking, Hurong Khan Xirilige spoke, "Let us Hurong attack first. I want to see how powerful the Southern Army in Yanguo Town is!"

The Khan of the Hurong tribe, Xi Rilige, was really angry. For the first tentative attack, he directly sent out five Hurong tribe iron armored ten thousand cavalry teams.

The Hu Rong tribe's iron armored cavalry team, each of the iron armored cavalry is equipped with iron armor, and the war horses are also covered with armor, which is equivalent to heavy cavalry, but the war horses are wearing leather armor.

Seeing that the grassland coalition sent tens of thousands of cavalry to launch a charge, Li Bin did not go against the tit and directly sent cavalry to fight, but instead prepared to let the heavy infantry battle formation of Zhennan Army come to meet the enemy.

At this time, in the front row of the Zhennan Army's formation, there were twenty-four heavy infantry phalanxes composed of twenty-four heavy infantry brigades.

And behind, there are two rows of forty-eight heavy infantry brigades, forming a forty-eight heavy infantry phalanx.

The front row of the Zhennan Army's heavy infantry phalanx is still a 1.8-meter-high tower shield. At the gap between the top and the middle and upper parts of each two tower shield, a very thick six-meter spear will be extended.

The combination of tower shield and six-meter spear has been confirmed on the previous battlefield and is definitely a powerful tool to restrain enemy cavalry.

The five Hu Rong tribe's iron armored ten thousand cavalry teams were divided into five arrows and rushed towards the multiple heavy infantry phalanxes in the front row of Zhennan Army.

The armored cavalry of the Hurong clan had just approached the heavy infantry formation of the Zhennan Army. The dense crossbow arrows descended from the sky, shooting many armored cavalry of the Hurong clan on the charge road.

When the armored cavalry of the Hurong tribe was about to crash into the shield wall formed by tower shields, a large number of javelins were thrown into the heavy infantry formation of Zhennan Army.

The javelins have great damage at close range. The armor and vests of the Hurong clan iron armored cavalry cannot be defended against the javelin at close range. Pieces of the Hurong clan iron armored cavalry were shot and killed by the javelins not far from the shield wall.

In fact, after the armored cavalry of the Hurong clan approached the heavy infantry phalanx of the Zhennan Army, they also began to shoot at the heavy infantry phalanx of the Zhennan Army with bows and arrows.

You should know that the cavalry of all races in the grassland are very powerful.

However, at this time, a giant shield barrier spliced ​​with rectangular shields had been formed above the heavy infantry formation of Zhennan Army. The arrows shot by the Hurong clan iron armored cavalry were basically blocked by this giant shield barrier.

After suffering a large number of casualties, the Hurong clan iron armored cavalry finally hit the shield wall composed of tower shields. However, the shield wall of the Zhennan Army heavy cavalry was as solid as a rock, making the Hurong clan iron armored cavalry unable to escape.

The crossbow arrows and javelins in the heavy infantry phalanx of Zhennan Army took the opportunity to continue shooting and killing the Hurong iron-armored cavalry who were blocked by the shield wall.

When the many armored cavalry of the Hu Rong clan were completely stuck in front of the shield wall, the tower shields in the front row of Zhennan Army suddenly turned 90 degrees, and then rows of shattered sword hands came out, stepping forward like a wall with neat steps, constantly killing the armored cavalry of the Hu Rong clan.

Under the uniform light of the Modaomen, the iron-armored cavalry of the Hurong clan completely collapsed and fled backwards.

In the end, only 35,000 armored cavalry of the Hurong tribe retreated. With just one tentative attack, the Hurong tribe lost more than 15,000 armored cavalry.

What made Hu Rong Khan Xi Rilige even more depressed was that he lost more than 15,000 iron-armored cavalry, but it seemed that he did not cause much loss to the Zhennan Army.

The strength of the Zhennan Army's heavy infantry battle formation put a lot of pressure on the Khans of the Grassland Alliance.

The Khan Tojire, the Seyfar tribe, frowned and said, "The Southern Army of Yanguozhen is indeed well-known. Just wanting to break through the infantry formation of the Southern Army of Yanguozhen, the warriors of our tribes seem to have to pay a considerable price."

Hu Rong Khan Xirilige gritted his teeth and said, "Our ethnic groups must grab food from Yan State, otherwise there is no way to die on the grassland, so we can only fight hard next time."

The Khan of the Eastern Qiang tribe, Asgahi, hesitated for a moment and said, "The infantry formation like the Southern Army in Yanguozhen should be specially designed to restrain cavalry. It is better for us to send infantry to try it."

Hearing the words of the Eastern Qiang Khan Asgai, the Khan of other tribes, all the khans looked at Jiang Xu, the Emperor of Liang.

Although the total force of the grassland coalition forces this way is as high as tens of millions, they are basically considered cavalry. Of course, after the cavalry of various tribes is dismounted, they can still act as infantry for use.

But now there are real infantry on the grassland coalition at this time, and there are 1.3 million infantry in the Liang Kingdom army.

Emperor Jiang Xu of Liang knew that at this time, he could not pretend to be deaf and dumb, so he said loudly: "Dear Khans, my Liang Kingdom is willing to send an army of 100,000 to break through the infantry formation of the southern army in Yanguo Town!"

"Father-in-law, 100,000 infantry soldiers are a little too small. I think Liang Kingdom will directly send 200,000 infantry to attack!" said Tojire, Khan of the Seychelles tribe.

"Or... it's good! Then Liang Kingdom will send 200,000 infantrymen to attack the infantry formation of the southern army in Yan Kingdom Town!"

Two hundred thousand infantrymen from Liang Kingdom then slowly came to the front of the grassland coalition and began to press forward towards the heavy infantry battle formation of Zhennan Army.

Seeing that the grassland coalition sent out the infantry of Liang Kingdom, the heavy cavalry units on both wings of the Zhennan Army's formation suddenly started to move.

Then the heavy cavalry brigades of the ten Zhennan Army attacked from both wings and launched a charge against the 200,000 Liang State infantry that were pressing over.

To destroy the dead, these four words can be used to describe the battle between the heavy cavalry brigades of the Zhennan Army and the 200,000 Liang Kingdom infantrymen.

It's not even suitable for combat to describe it.

As soon as the two sides contacted, the 200,000 Liang Kingdom infantry were defeated by the heavy cavalry of the Zhennan Army of ten brigades.

In addition, the heavy cavalry brigades of the ten Zhennan Army drove away the escaped Liang Kingdom infantry and rushed towards the grassland coalition formation.

Of course, the Khans of the Grassland Alliance would not have watched their formation be destroyed by the retreating Liang infantry, so the Seychelles and the Eastern Qiang tribes each sent 100,000 cavalry to meet them directly.

In the end, the battlefield evolved into 70,000 heavy cavalry of the Zhennan Army, 200,000 cavalry of the Seiyu tribes and the Dongqiang tribes, and attacked the retreating Liang State infantry.

The Liang Kingdom infantry, which had only less than 100,000, bypassed the Sewu from both sides, and the 200,000 cavalry of the Eastern Qiang tribes fled back to their own formation in a panic.

More than 100,000 other Liang Kingdom infantrymen were killed on the battlefield by the 70,000 heavy cavalry of Zhennan Army, the 200,000 cavalry of the Eastern Qiang tribes.

When the cavalry on both sides killed the Liang Kingdom infantry who were trapped in the middle, the cavalry on both sides fought together.

What the grassland coalition did not expect was that the Zhennan cavalry, which had obviously fewer troops, was even more difficult to distinguish with the 200,000 cavalry of the Seiyu and Dongqiang tribes.

Since they cannot gain an advantage for the moment, they will continue to invest their troops into the battlefield. Anyway, the cavalry units alone are as high as tens of millions of them along the grassland coalition.

Of course, the Zhennan Army would not see the ten Zhennan Army heavy cavalry brigades sent by them being eaten by the opponent with their superior forces, so they also sent heavy cavalry and Zhennan wolf cavalry from both wings to the battlefield...

On the evening of May 20, Ruikang's eleventh year, in a huge felt bag in the grassland coalition camp, the Eastern Qiang Khan Asgai said in a deep voice to dozens of other khans: "According to the casualties reported by the Khans, in today's battle, our tribes lost more than 300,000 cavalry together, and the losses of the southern army in Yanguozhen should be less than that of us."

At this time, the Emperor of Liang State Jiang Xu said with a wry smile: "My Liang State has also lost more than 100,000 infantry and about 30,000 cavalry today. I didn't expect that the combat effectiveness of the southern army in Yan State was stronger than before."

As soon as Jiang Xu finished speaking, Khan Sana of the Chijie tribe snorted coldly, "Emperor Liang Kingdom, the combat effectiveness of your Liang Kingdom's army is too poor. If it weren't for the 200,000 infantry attacking in Liang Kingdom, they would have almost collapsed at once, disrupting the combat plan of our entire grassland coalition, the cavalry troops fighting today would not have suffered such great losses at once."

Jiang Xu's face was a little embarrassed, but what Chijie Khan Sana said was the truth.

Although Jiang Xu led one million cavalry and one million infantry when he joined forces with the grassland coalition, these two million and a half million troops almost pulled all the males in Liang Kingdom, otherwise the Zhennan Army would not have captured the capital road and Daizhou Prefecture of Liang Kingdom so easily.

Such conscription at any cost has greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of the Liang Kingdom army.

In fact, even the original regular army of Liang Kingdom was only unsatisfactory in combat. Liang Kingdom's most elite troops were lost in the battle before the Zhennan Army.

Today, in addition to the 200,000 Liang Kingdom infantry were easily defeated by the heavy cavalry of Zhennan Army, Jiang Xu also sent 50,000 Liang Kingdom cavalry to participate in the battle while the cavalry troops on both sides were fighting.

As a result, the 50,000 Liang Kingdom cavalry performed quite unbearable, and also affected the friendly forces participating in the war.

The cavalry troops that the Chijie tribe fought were cheated by 50,000 Liang Kingdom cavalry, and at least six or seven thousand Chijie cavalry were lost.

"Now is not the time to hold people accountable. We have to carefully discuss how to deal with the Zhennan Army of Yan. Although the forces gathered here by the Zhennan Army of Yan are less than the combined forces of our tribes, with the combat effectiveness shown by the Zhennan Army of Yanguo today, it is definitely not easy for us to defeat them."

The words of the Khan Tojire, the Sei Falcon tribe, were regarded as the siege for the Emperor Jiang Xu of Liang.

Next, the Khans of all races in the felt bag began to study how to defeat the main force of Zhennan Army gathered in Weibei City.

Unfortunately, everyone has been studying it all, but there is still no good solution. The most reasonable suggestion is to fight with Zhennan Army.

Some people also suggested whether to divide tens of millions of cavalry into multiple branches, and then bypass the main force of Zhennan Army in Weibei City and choose other routes to enter the Dazhou Prefecture and Caizhou Prefecture of Yan State.

But you should know that the Zhennan Army also has huge military strength and millions of elite cavalry.

If you divide your troops, you may face the danger of being eaten by Zhennan Army bite by bite.

While the Khans of the Grassland Alliance Army were struggling with how to deal with the Zhennan Army, Li Bin also held a military meeting in Weibei City.

Guo Jia held a piece of paper in his hand and reported to Li Binhui: "In today's battle, our Zhennan Army's heavy infantry lost only less than a thousand people, but the heavy cavalry lost about 50,000 people, and the Zhennan Wolf Cavalry also lost nearly 20,000 people."

Li Bin nodded slightly, "The combat effectiveness of the cavalry of all tribes of the Hulu is indeed extraordinary. Although the casualties may be higher than the cavalry units of our Zhennan Army, they can bear the heavy cavalry and Zhennan Wolf Cavalry of our Zhennan Army. It seems that this battle with the grassland coalition may be even more difficult than we expected, and we have to fight a war of attrition."

At this time, the Xiangzhou garrison commander Lu Bu frowned and asked, "Lord, we have a decisive battle with the Grassland Alliance in Weibei City. Our town's southern army is not afraid. It is just that it may lose a lot of soldiers. But what if the Grassland Alliance divides its troops to rob Dazhou Prefecture, what should we do if the Caizhou Prefecture counties?"

Before Li Bin could speak, Guo Jia smiled and said, "Envoy Lu, there is no need to worry. Now our Zhennan Army has been firmly clearing the fields in the northern areas of Dazhou Prefecture and Caizhou Prefecture. Even if the grassland coalition forces divide their troops, they will not gain any advantage. Instead, they will give our Zhennan Army the opportunity to defeat them one by one."

Li Bin then said: "The twelve guards drawn from the Southern Barbarian Protectorate, the Western Barbarian Protectorate, the Meizhou Guardian, the Bizhou Guardian, the Rongzhou Guardian and the Cizhou Guardian are about to arrive in Weibei City. The fifty-six township guards recruited are basically formed. Next, it depends on our Zhennan Army and the Grassland Alliance. Who can't stand it first!"
