"Kill!" The battle cries of the Xiliang Cavalry could be heard all day long. If it was an ordinary army, they would have been stunned by the battle cries. The earth was trembling and the killing intent of the Xiliang Cavalry soared to the sky. This wasn't something that an ordinary person could withstand. Even Liu Mang's palms were sweaty. He had confidence in himself, but it wasn't that big. However, he had no choice but to do it.
Hu Che Er was forced into a dead end by Liu Mang and Liu Mang's letter of challenge. On the other hand, Liu Mang was forced into a dead end by Zhang Xiu, Yuzhou's Liu Bei, and Jiangdong's Sun Ce. In this chaotic world, it wasn't that Liu Mang wanted to kill, it was that if you don't kill, you will be killed by others!
Hu Che Er's warhorse began to slow down and fell behind the charging Xiliang Cavalry. It was not that Hu Che Er was afraid of battle but he was a general. He did not have Lu Bu's peak refinement level martial arts. Therefore, instead of rushing forward and being killed at any time, it was better for him to stay in the middle of the army. At the beginning, Hu Che Er was leading the charge to set an example for his subordinates. This way, the soldiers under his command would be able to attack with their full strength!

Liu Mang looked at Hu Che Er and his fear deepened. This person's skill in leading the cavalry was better than his father-in-law's brute force charge. However, that was because Lü Bu wasn't strong enough. Lü Bu was at the peak of refinement stage. It was hard to stop him in this world. Therefore, his brute force was the most suitable for Lü Bu. He was comparable to Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao's martial arts were also not at the peak. However, when he led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, he wasn't any worse than Lü Bu. This time, Zhang Liao had other things to do. Moreover, Chen Gong and Lü Bu wanted to train Liu Mang so that he could be independent. Liu Mang might have asked Lü Bu to hand Zhang Liao over to him. One must know that Zhang Liao wasn't just a talented general. He was also a talented commander. For such a person, even if Liu Mang gave him the entire Yangzhou, it wouldn't matter. Liu Mang was afraid that Hu Che Er was also such a person. Then, it would be a disaster for the Great Han Empire.
"Coming, coming!" Liu Mang was training in his heart. The thousands of heavy cavalry were getting closer and closer. Originally, they were still a thousand paces away but to the Xiliang Cavalry, this thousand paces was like the blink of an eye.
"Long Spear Formation!" Liu Mang waved his sword again. This time, it wasn't just the shields that were erected. Between the gaps of the shields, there were rows of long spears that formed a forest.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The first row of the Xiliang Cavalry and the first row of the City Guard's shield soldiers finally began to collide.
The Xiliang Cavalry jumped down from the top of the hill. Their horsepower was amazing. When the first row charged, the speed of each warhorse was very fast. The high speed coupled with the weight of the warhorse and the cavalry was like a huge hammer hammering the shields.
"Ang!" Liu Mang's Urban Army soldiers in the first row, even if they were protected by heavy armor and shield, it was still difficult for them to withstand this kind of impact. "None of them had external injuries but internal injuries. This kind of large scale impact would damage their internal organs. Many of the Urban Army soldiers began to pale. This is the result of their internal organs being impacted. Some of the soldiers directly vomited blood. Some of the soldiers who were standing in the front even vomited fragments of their internal organs. This kind of impact was very difficult to withstand. However, each and every one of the Urban Army soldiers persevered. Those whose internal organs were damaged were going to die anyway, so naturally, they would go all out." Liu Mang's Liu Mang's Liu Mang's Liu Mang's Liu Mang's Liu Mang's Liu Mang's Liu Mang's Liu Mang's Liu Mang's Liu Mang's Liu Mang's Liu Mang's Liu Mang's Liu Mang's Liu Mang's Liu Mang's Liu Mang's Liu Mang's Liu Mang's Liu Mang's Liu Mang's Liu Mang's Liu Mang's Liu Mang's Liu Mang's Liu Mang's Liu Mang's Liu Mang's Liu Mang's Liu Mang's Liu Mang's Liu Mang's Liu Mang's Liu
The Urban Army soldiers weren't having a good time, but the Xiliang Cavalry weren't having a good time either. Although the Xiliang Cavalry brought a huge impact to the Urban Army's Black Tortoise Formation, the impact of the impact was mutual. If they were able to rush through, then they would be fine. If they didn't, then they would be trampled to death by the horses behind them. Some of them were even more miserable. They were directly pierced by the spears and were like lamb skewers, they wouldn't die in a short period of time. This kind of wailing was the most painful.
The first row, the second row, and the third row were the Xiliang Cavalry. Liu Mang had 7,000 soldiers. The first row suffered heavy losses but he wasn't afraid. This was because the number of soldiers decided everything. The war horses arrived one after another and the impact they brought hit the shield formation again and again. Some of the shields began to crack and some of them couldn't withstand it anymore. They vomited blood and fell to the ground.
"Hold! Hold!" Liu Mang roared. The Black Tortoise Formation was a tortoise formation. It was like a giant tortoise. If one part of the tortoise shell was broken, then death wouldn't be far away.
The City Guard at the back quickly took over the position of their comrades and went up to meet the enemy head-on. The City Guard's formation suffered wave after wave of attacks. Finally, after losing hundreds of Xiliang Cavalry corpses, a small hole was torn in the Black Tortoise Formation. Although a City Guard tried his best, his death couldn't stop the Xiliang Cavalry. Although the hole was small, the Xiliang Cavalry were like sharks that smelled blood. They attacked the hole ferociously.
"King Of Shu of the Great Han. Haha. I said that I will take your head! " Hu Che Er looked at the hole in the Central Army. As long as the Xiliang Cavalry rushed over and tore open the tortoise shell, then even the heavy armored soldiers would be eaten by the Xiliang Cavalry.
"Go! Go! Go!" The City Guard at the back rushed up one by one. Some used their shields, some used their spears, and some even used their bodies to block the hole. However, how could the Xiliang Cavalry's attack be so easy to repair? If the Xiliang Cavalry didn't tear a hole in the wall, they wouldn't be willing to let the matter rest.
"Han Sheng, let's go!" Liu Mang no longer rode on his horse. He threw away the sword in his hand and raised his shield again. He roared and rushed towards the hole.
"Milord!" Huang Zhong didn't hesitate. Wherever Liu Mang went, he would go! Liu Mang used his shield to block the front. Huang Zhong used his bow to shoot.
"Die!" One of the Xiliang cavalrymen chopped the head of an Urban Army soldier with his sword. Blood splashed out, but he was not excited at all. His facial muscles stiffened. Liu Mang jumped up and used his shield to knock him off his horse. Liu Mang's shield was sharpened, so he directly used the edge of the shield to behead the Urban Army soldier. Liu Mang's shield was sharpened, so he directly beheaded the Urban Army soldier. Liu Mang stepped forward and killed a few Xiliang Cavalry soldiers. Finally, he managed to fill the hole. However, Liu Mang managed to fill the hole. Problems appeared in other parts of the Black Tortoise Battle Formation.
There were too few people. On average, each City Guard soldier had to fight against three people. Even if the City Guard was Liu Mang's elite, they could only be evenly matched against the Xiliang Cavalry. However, one person had to fight against three people. Even if they had the best battle formation, there was nothing they could do. The hole appeared again.
"Han Sheng, you go there!" Liu Mang was now blocking the hole. He couldn't leave. He had to help the City Guard rebuild the defensive line. Therefore, he couldn't do anything else. The only person who could block the hole was Huang Zhong.
"My Lord, you stay here!" Huang Zhong didn't dare to leave Liu Mang. He had received orders from Lü Bu and Chen Gong. Even if Yangzhou was lost, he had to protect Liu Mang's life. Huang Zhong also vowed that even if he died in battle, he wouldn't dare to let Liu Mang take the risk.
"Don't worry. As long as the Black Tortoise Battle Formation is not broken, they can't do anything to me!" Liu Mang explained to Huang Zhong. Seeing that Huang Zhong didn't move, Liu Mang became angry and shouted, "It's too late. Go quickly. Don't you even listen to my orders!"
"Yes! Zhong understands! " Huang Zhong nodded. He had to admit that Huang Zhong was a valiant general. Before he arrived, he had already drawn his bow and shot. Several ferocious-looking Xiliang Cavalry brandished their swords towards the heads of the Giant Shield Soldiers. They wanted to expand their battle results so that the Black Tortoise Battle Formation would be completely broken. However, before the swords in their hands could land, they were already dead. The bow in Huang Zhong's hand was something that had almost seriously injured Lü Bu. Although Huang Zhong quickly drew his bow, the power of the bow and arrow was not small. Several Xiliang Cavalry were nailed to the ground along with their horses. This gave Huang Zhong a chance to buffer because these horse corpses blocked the Xiliang Cavalry from behind.
Huang Zhong was not only an archer god, he was also a warrior at the pinnacle of Spirit Refinement. The golden sword in his hand was not to be trifled with. A sword and a veteran general blocked the Xiliang Cavalry like a wall. Sharks would go crazy when they smelled blood, but don't forget that when a shark faced a ferocious beast, it would also turn into shark's fin.
Gaps appeared one after another in the Black Tortoise Battle Formation. Liu Mang and Huang Zhong were also competing with each other to fill in the gaps.
Liu Mang was huffing and puffing. He had reached his limit. Huang Zhong was also exhausted. They didn't have as many people as their opponents. They could only rely on Liu Mang and Huang Zhong to fill in the gaps so that the Black Tortoise Battle Formation could last longer!
"Zi Yang, Zi Yang, why haven't you appeared yet?" Liu Mang smiled bitterly in his heart. He still underestimated the Xiliang Cavalry. He also underestimated this Hu Che Er. He did not rush forward, instead, he rushed forward in waves. The result of this was that the impact of the cavalry was maximized. The Urban Army was still too few in number. If both the Urban Army and the Black Flag were present, Liu Mang would not need to do this. He could have just set up the Black Tortoise Formation and eat as many Xiliang Cavalry as he can. He could even chase and kill them.
"Haha, you think you can stop my Xiliang Cavalry like this? What a joke! " Hu Che Er was finally relieved. His mouth revealed a sneer. He released waves of Xiliang Cavalry because he was afraid of a trap. But now, the Urban Army was in a precarious situation, and there were no ambushes. Hu Che Er completely let down his guard. What he needed now was for the entire army to charge forward and tear apart the turtle shell in front of him. After that, he needed to cut the turtle meat piece by piece.
"King Of Shu of the Great Han Dynasty? Haha, I, Hu Che Er, will take your head! " Liu Mang's warhorse began to gallop. He was no longer in the Central Army. He was in the army of thousands. Now, the City Guard's pike forest was no longer effective. It was either filled with corpses of the Xiliang Cavalry, or the pike forest was skewed by the impact of the corpses. Otherwise, the pike forest would be directly killed. So, Hu Che Er had nothing to fear. "Liu Mang ah, Liu Mang, I really admire your courage. You dare to fight with only 2500 people! You are the most courageous and arrogant person I have ever seen. But you will have to pay the price for your arrogance. And the price is your life! "
Black Tortoise Battle Formation was in imminent danger. The Xiliang Cavalry behind had launched their attack.
"Damn it!" The first wave of Xiliang Cavalry directly tore apart the gap that Liu Mang and Huang Zhong had painstakingly patched up. The first layer of defense was completely destroyed. "Retreat, retreat, set up shields, set up shields. Front row, retreat, rear row support!" Liu Mang's order was quickly passed down.
Liu Mang's Black Tortoise Battle Formation was a circular battle formation. It was surrounded by a circle of shields. The second row was made up of pike soldiers and the third row was made up of shield soldiers. This way, they interweaved with each other to create the greatest power. However, after being attacked by the waves of Xiliang Cavalry, not only did the front row of City Guard suffer heavy losses, the rear row of reinforcements also suffered heavy casualties. Now, the Xiliang Cavalry did not give them any time to breathe. Liu Mang's rear row did not have time to react and some of the Xiliang Cavalry had already charged forward.
"Kill, kill, kill!" Liu Mang was the first to charge forward. He did not care about the impact of the Xiliang Cavalry's horses. When the horses charged forward, Liu Mang charged back. The current Liu Mang was no longer a weak person like before. Although he had not reached the spirit refinement realm, his body refinement realm was very strong. Lü Bu also helped Liu Mang find a lot of herbs and tiger bones for Liu Mang. It could be said that Liu Mang's body refinement realm was about to reach the peak.
Liu Mang did not have the strength of a tiger or wolf, but he still had the strength of half a tiger. Liu Mang held his shield and charged forward. The two objects collided in an instant. Liu Mang's mouth was sweet as blood rushed to his throat. He almost flew out. The Xiliang Cavalry was not much better. Under the huge impact, the cavalry did not die. However, half of the horse's head was smashed by the shield. Blood splattered everywhere.
"Milord!" Huang Zhong quickly went forward to rescue Liu Mang. Liu Mang's intervention gave the City Guard a chance to breathe.
"Black Tortoise Formation, rotate!" Liu Mang was still in a daze. Huang Zhong could only give orders on his behalf. Although Huang Zhong was Liu Mang's personal guard, his understanding of military formations was better than Liu Mang's. After all, Huang Zhong had led the army for many years. If it was not for the sake of repaying a debt of gratitude, his ability was enough to be a general. Naturally, he was proficient in military formations.
"Yes!" The Black Tortoise Formation wasn't just a formation that would stand there and take a beating. It also had a unique characteristic, which was its rotation. With the giant shields in front and the spears outside, it was like a meat grinder as it rotated. When the formation rotated, the impact of the Xiliang Cavalry's attacks would also be distributed. This way, the enemy wouldn't be able to break through and destroy the entire formation.
"Haha, it's just a deathbed struggle!" Hu Che Er looked at the rotating Black Tortoise Formation and sneered. In this short period of time, his Xiliang Cavalry had already lost more than a thousand cavalry. This kind of casualty was very high. However, the City Guard and Liu Mang's heavy infantry had also suffered a lot. The number of dead City Guard soldiers was not less than the number of dead Xiliang Cavalry soldiers. However, in this situation, the number of Xiliang Cavalry soldiers was several times that of the City Guard. Hu Che Er could kill three thousand Xiliang Cavalry soldiers and defeat Liu Mang. However, could this King Of Shu, Liu Mang do the same? Not to mention three thousand, even if it was half, then Liu Mang would not be far from death! "Go and destroy them!"
"It's time!" A very cold voice came from the ground!
