My older brother is Gao Huan.

Chapter 505: Giving the people of Guanzhong a little shock!

"Kill!"

Wei Xiaokuan shouted and spurred his horse to charge at the soldiers in front of him!

With a thrust of his lance forward, and using the powerful momentum of his warhorse, he easily sent the person in front of him flying!

The advantage of long-handled weapons is their extremely wide killing range; even swinging a lance on horseback like a helicopter while spinning around can cause considerable damage.

In just one exchange of blows, as Wei Xiaokuan led his large group forward to continue the fight, more than ten corpses were left on the ground.

As he was about to move forward, he discovered that from the middle section of the grain transport convoy onwards, the situation had become less chaotic and had even quickly formed a square formation.

The auxiliary soldiers skillfully positioned the carriages sideways to act as obstacles, with each carriage spaced about ten paces apart. The garrison soldiers stood in these gaps, some holding shields taller than a person in front of them, while behind the shields, some held long spears, some held crossbows loaded with arrows, and some held ring-pommel swords.

It is a very standard multiplayer configuration.

If cavalry dared to charge forward rashly, they would be blocked by chariots and large shields, forced to slow down, and lose their mobility.

Those behind the wooden shields would work together to shoot down the cavalrymen who would become sitting ducks.

The soldiers of Hebei Prefecture and their accompanying auxiliary troops also received similar training.

Gao Yu attaches great importance to this aspect.

A crucial point is that the terrain of the territory he currently controls is too flat, and Erzhu Rong will definitely target his supply lines. Therefore, he has focused on training in this area to ensure that his soldiers are not panicked when transporting supplies and are attacked by enemy forces.

The soldiers from Hebei were a little lacking, ultimately due to insufficient training. However, once they calmed down, they were still able to form ranks using carriages, just as they had done in training, and then quickly band together to meet the enemy.

"Damn it!"

Wei Xiaokuan wasn't stupid. He had already formed a battle formation. If he were to charge forward recklessly at this moment, he would easily become a sitting duck.

"No wonder everyone says that Gao Yu's soldiers are elite; such a reaction is indeed valiant."

Even his opponents had to admit that, given their on-the-spot reaction, they were considered elite troops no matter where they were placed.

"Don't be greedy for credit, follow me to eliminate the lone enemy ahead!"

Wei Xiaokuan did not lose his temper.

Even if he annihilated the entire grain transport convoy here, it would not be enough to relieve Shanyang City from its predicament of being trapped.

At present, Gao Yu's power is strong, while Er Zhu Rong's power is waning.

Gao Yu is like a strong and robust man; it would be unwise to fight him head-on. The only option is to bleed him dry in this way.

Burning the grain and fodder is like cutting a small hole in Gao Yu's body. It doesn't cause much damage, but it can bleed him out. If there are enough wounds, the amount of blood lost will be considerable. It won't kill Gao Yu, but it will definitely weaken the strong and healthy Gao Yu.

The gap between the two sides is not that large. Under the condition of being as evenly matched as possible, a large-scale battle can be fought against Gao Yu.

Erzhu Rong emphasized one point to these frontline generals.

Don't be greedy, eat a little at a time, and don't try to get fat overnight.

Wei Xiaokuan immediately tightened the reins, forcing the warhorse to a stop. He then turned the horse around and charged back, eliminating the front part of the convoy, which was considered a great achievement.

Before he even got close, he spotted someone in the distance.

This person's weapon is very strange.

It was neither a lance nor a ring-pommel sword, but rather a pair of maces in hand. From a distance, it looked more like someone wielding two fire pokers on horseback.

Of course...

This person, however, is very methodical.

Making the most of its short and dangerous position, it maneuvered on horseback and quickly knocked several elite soldiers off their horses.

Wei Xiaokuan immediately spurred his horse and charged off!

Two snaps.

Qin Fangtai slammed his double maces into the soldier beside him.

Against someone who is armored, blunt force strikes are more effective.

"Don't panic! The main force will come to our rescue!"

He was indeed valiant, able to defend against enemies while also loudly boosting morale.

He was about to speak again when he heard a whooshing sound behind him. He instinctively dodged to the side, and a long spear pierced past his ear. Had he been a fraction of a second slower, the spear would have pierced his neck. Seeing that he had dodged the attack, Wei Xiaokuan swung his spear fiercely, intending to knock Qin Fangtai off his horse!
Qin Fangtai almost instinctively raised his iron mace to block the sweeping lance. The force was great, making his arm numb, but he knew he couldn't worry about that right now.

Almost as a reflex, he gripped the iron mace in his right hand and swung it sideways fiercely!

In order to avoid the attack, Wei Xiaokuan naturally released the force in his hand, which freed up Qin Fangtai's other hand. It was a little numb, but he could still exert force.

At a distance, the long spear has an advantage, but once you get close, it becomes very cumbersome to swing!
Wei Xiaokuan had no choice but to hold his long spear horizontally. When he saw Qin Fangtai attacking his face, he was forced to let go of his hands. The spear was about to fall to the ground, but fortunately he reacted in time and grabbed it. He squeezed his legs and the horse galloped forward, which created some distance between them.

He turned his horse around again to look at Qin Fangtai, his eyes no longer showing any contempt, but rather a very serious expression.

"Who is the enemy general? State your name!"

"Hahaha, I am Qin Fangtai, the brigade commander of Feixiang Garrison under the general! You traitorous general, prepare to die!"

Wei Xiaokuan was utterly astonished!
They were the ones who were ambushed and suffered heavy losses in the first encounter, so why didn't their morale collapse? Instead, they even took the initiative to attack him.

soon.

He then knew the answer.

Rumble!
It turned out that the grain transport soldiers at the rear of the convoy had rushed to the rescue as soon as they learned that the front had been attacked by the enemy.

The exact number is unclear.

"Damn it."

Wei Xiaokuan never expected that what he thought would be a great victory would turn out like this.

"Qin Fangtai... I'll remember you!"

He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Retreat! Don't linger, retreat immediately!!"

They came to cause sabotage and launch surprise attacks. They are few in number, and if they are surrounded, the losses will be too great.

Qin Fangtai did not pursue them.

"Do not pursue them."

We have no idea what's ahead; what if there's an ambush?

Their duty is to transport grain; ensuring the safe delivery of the food is their top priority.

If the entire army is ambushed and wiped out, the responsibility will be enormous.

But not long after, there was another sound of galloping hooves.

A young man rode up to Qin Fangtai.

The boy glanced around and saw that some soldiers were collecting the corpses, while others were bringing back the frightened horses, donkeys, and cattle. It seemed that the losses were not significant.

He then asked directly, "Which direction did the enemy flee in?"

Qin Fangtai cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to the general, the enemy is fleeing to the northwest."

"it is good."

The boy nodded. "You didn't panic when attacked by the enemy. You've done a great job this time. Continue transporting grain."

Then he turned his horse around and pointed northwest, shouting, "My men! Follow me to pursue the enemy!"

"General! General! The situation ahead is unclear; we cannot pursue rashly!"

Qin Fangtai advised.

The boy turned and glanced at him. "Our army is besieging Shanyang. The enemy must only have small groups of troops on the outskirts. How could there be an ambush?"

"You think you can just run away after harassing the supply lines? There's no such thing as a free lunch."

"We have to make him leave something behind today!"

Say it!

The boy then cracked his whip and rode away!

P.S.: It seems like when I write about war, my brothers don't like to post comments in this chapter.

This chapter focuses more on interaction with women, rather than writing about them.
