But the Xijing army was fierce and brave, and they continued their frenzied charge, stepping over the corpses of their comrades.
After suffering hundreds of casualties, their vanguard approached the Hedong army.
"Spear formation! Forward!" Li Mao shouted hoarsely.
The spearmen of the Hedong Army in the front row suddenly stepped forward, their spears shooting out like poisonous dragons, and collided fiercely with the Xijing Army soldiers who were charging forward!
"Bang! Crack!"
The sounds of clashing weapons, cracking bones, and dying screams filled the air instantly!
The battle lines crashed together like two giant waves, instantly entering the most brutal and bloody state of strangulation!
Li Mao's three thousand vanguard troops stood firm like a rock, stubbornly resisting the first wave of fierce attacks from the Xijing army.
Yang Fan, observing the situation clearly from the central command, sneered, "Even a cornered beast will fight! Order the left-wing cavalry to charge the enemy's right flank! The right flank will then advance to encircle their vanguard!"
The banners of the Xijing army changed, and the three thousand cavalry on the left flank began to accelerate, like scimitars, slashing towards the flank of the Hedong army's formation.
At the same time, the infantry on the right flank also began to press forward, intending to coordinate with the frontal attack to encircle and annihilate Li Mao's troops.
The battlefield situation instantly became extremely unfavorable for the Hedong Army!
Just then, a cold glint flashed in Lin Feng's eyes, and he shouted to the messenger, "Now! Release the wounded horse!"
The suicide squad, which was already prepared, suddenly drove the more than 500 wounded warhorses wrapped in flammable materials and set fire to the oil-soaked cloth strips on their tails!
The wounded horse, frightened and in pain, let out a piercing wail and, like a raging meteor, ran desperately toward the direction from which the left wing of the Xijing army's cavalry was charging!
This scene was both tragic and heroic!
The Xijing Army's left-wing cavalry, who were accelerating their charge, had no idea that the enemy would use such a ruthless tactic!
Warhorses are naturally afraid of fire. When they see a group of their kind charging towards them in flames, they immediately panic and neigh in terror. Many cavalrymen are thrown to the ground by their frightened horses, and the charging formation is in disarray!
"A great opportunity!"
Lin Feng immediately issued an order, "Order Murong Chunhua's main force of one thousand cavalry to attack!"
Murong Chunhua, who had been waiting on the flank for some time, did not hesitate when she saw the situation. She pointed her long sword forward and shouted, "Warriors of the Murong tribe! Charge with me and crush them! Kill!"
"kill!!!"
The thousand elite Murong cavalry, who had been gathering strength for a long time, suddenly pounced out like cheetahs that had been lying in wait.
They bypassed the chaotic herd of wounded horses and, like an incredibly sharp scimitar, precisely and ruthlessly cut into the disarray of the Xijing army's left-wing cavalry.
Iron hooves trampled, sabers were brandished!
The Murong cavalry displayed astonishing archery and cleaver skills, and the already chaotic left flank of the Xijing army was immediately put at a disadvantage under this thunderous impact.
