The Bolo people were not slow to react, now that they understood that the northern army was clearly finding faults, they quickly made preparations for the mobilization and preparation of the army, and the 30,000 troops of the Bolo people were originally scattered all over the place, but there were 20,000 main forces, a reorganized corps, but they had been stationed in their capital.
Hillman immediately ordered the whole army to be mobilized by a corps stationed in the capital, prepared as quickly as possible, mobilized food and grass, and then ordered the army to move towards the border with the northern army.
Although this naked governor is a well-known weirdo in the mainland, at least he is not an idiot, he knows very well that since Char has torn his face with himself, then the next thing must be a big battle related to the life and death of the two families.
Let's fight What keeps the Bolo people guessing is how many troops the Northern Army can send to attack them.
Although the Northern Army is good at fighting, everyone knows that their strength is not large.
Moreover, with the forces currently surrounding the Northern Army, it is impossible for them to send all the troops, so they must always leave some guards and deal with other forces taking advantage of the situation.
According to the guesses of the Bolo people, the limit of what the Northern Army can mobilize is only half of the troops.
Fifteen thousand twenty thousand At this time, the eunuch-born general of the Boluo Military Region put forward his opinion: "The other side will not send more than 20,000 troops, and besides, they have come to attack us from afar, running all the way, and the supply line is extended, which is a heavy burden for them, and we only need to gather troops and confront them."
After all, there are other forces around the Northern Army, and those are all allies of our Red Round Table, as long as you write a few letters to a few allies, asking them to take the opportunity to give the Northern Army some bitterness behind their backs, when the time comes, Char, who learned that his lair was attacked by others, will definitely not be able to confront us here for a long time, as long as we hold out until they retreat, we can take the opportunity to counterattack and defeat them."
There was nothing wrong with this plan, and in the circumstances of the time, such judgments, speculations, and extrapolations were all very reasonable.
But the fact of the situation was that when Governor Hillman ran to Xiliuwan City, the closest to the border, with his main army of 20,000, and finally waited for the news that Char personally led the army to the door, the military information sent back by the scouts stunned everyone in the Bolo Military Region "Five, five hundred is really only five hundred" The scout's answer was in the affirmative.
Moreover, this place is called Xiliuwan, which is the turning point of a river on the border between the two countries, an open river beach plain, and it is a flat area at a glance, and it is absolutely impossible to hide a large-scale ambush anywhere.
In other words, "he really only brought 500 people and called" After a brief moment of shock, Hillman screamed.
At this moment, the governor, who was ready to fight a tough battle, was not surprised at all, he felt that he had been insulted, this guy was despising me, knowing that I had tens of thousands of troops, he actually brought five hundred people to find fault He, he, he, he when I was mud pinched out of it Carried away by his anger, Hillman immediately made a decision: to go out of the city to face the battle The eunuch general had no objection to the governor's order, and in fact he did not see any reason to do so.
Five hundred people, that Char Thunder is really crazy We have 20,000 people, and a reorganized corps of 500 people can make any waves, and 20,000 people can trample each other to death without fighting In this case, what else is there to worry about, anyway, the scouts have already probed very clearly, and there is no trace of the ambush of the opponent's large army within a radius of dozens of miles.
Five hundred people, then fight, there is no need for any conspiracy, just destroy them The internal consensus was reached, and the group was excited, so Char's thunder swept through the entire northern part of the Byzantine Empire's first large-scale battle: the Battle of Xiliuwan, which began.
Many historical materials in later generations have recorded this Xiliuwan Battle.
But again, all the historical accounts of this battle are very brief, and there is hardly any detailed description.
Because the process of this battle is too short, and it is too fast to end.
Well, now let's look at some of the basics of the battle at the time.
First of all, the location: Weststream Bay.
On the other side of the river is a fortress built by the Bolo people, which will be a nail in the coffin if the enemy invades in a big way.
The site of the battle was an open plain, and it can be said that it was a natural battlefield.
Open on all sides, no shelter, no woods, no hillsides.
On both sides of the war, the Bolo Military Region had an army of 20,000, 4,000 heavy infantry, 15,000 light infantry, and a cavalry force of 1,000 men.
And here in the Northern Army, there are only Char and the 500-strong cavalry battalion. 20000vs500。
In this comparison of troops, the Bolo people did not think about it, and directly pulled the team out of the fortress and placed it on the plain.
Even, the Governor of Hillman deliberately left his cavalry of 1,000 men on the flank, and his plan was that once he won the battle, he could use his cavalry to outflank the enemy's rear and wipe out this hateful Char Thunder Let that bastard die in Xiliuwan Since you're here, don't go back At noon on this day, Char's army arrived here, looking at the array of 20,000 people on the opposite side, Char took the lead, looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "This guy is enough to cooperate, and he actually pulled out such a person, compared to his family background." ” Both armies soon set themselves up on the battlefield and faced each other.
The Bolo people looked at Char's small team, and many of them showed smug smiles.
In their opinion, in this case, there is no need to talk about the end.
Even the cavalry on the flanks had already ordered to be ready for an outflanking.
And Governor Hillman was in the middle of the team, he looked at the small cavalry unit opposite, until this moment, he couldn't believe that the other party actually brought such a few people to fight.
And the only one who noticed that something was wrong was the eunuch-born general Bolo.
He was surprised to find a detail: the five hundred horsemen brought by Char were all light cavalry These cavalrymen did not wear tight and heavy armor, most of the cavalry only wore the lightest cuirass, only covering the vital parts, and even some guys wore leather armor directly This is simply the equipment of the light cavalry.
However, compared with their light armor, the weapons used by these "light cavalry" are all heavy weapons of heavy cavalry charging into battle without exception Double-edged battle axes, razes, maces, and heavy rifles were by no means weapons that should be used by light cavalry.
And he also noticed that all the cavalry on the other side, each of them was a strong man of the Kanbi Odin, and it was even a little exaggerated.
However, unlike the simple armor of the cavalry, the horses were heavily armoured.
People don't wear armor, but horses wear armor, where is there such a strange truth in the world Char was there, the cavalry was making the final preparations before the battle in an orderly manner, they drove the horses to the distance behind them, and the armored horses were all lined up, five hundred cavalry put on a formation, these guys did not make a noise, quietly and indifferently looked at the huge phalanx of the Bolo people opposite.
Before the official start of the fight, the Bolos showed their arrogance, and with such a balance of power, it seemed that they did have reason to be arrogant.
Governor Hillman sent dozens of men to shout and curse in front of the battle.
Loudly reprimanded the people of the Northern Army for treachery, wolf-heartedness, how to slander, how despicable behavior, and at the same time loudly encouraged their own morale, loud shouts With these shouts and shouts, the Bolo army was in high spirits and emotional, the soldiers raised their weapons and shouted and cheered, the shield knocked on the opposite side, Char sat on the horse, yawned lazily, and looked at the Bolo army who was shouting and jumping up and down on the opposite side.
He yawned boredly and opened his mouth, then raised his hand and waved it, as if to drive away flies, and frowned at the cavalry beside him: "It's noisy, go and trample them to death." ” And then, the Bolo army was really trampled to death by them The course of the Battle of Xiliuwan was very short, very simple, and outrageously simple Just after Char gave the order to charge, the five hundred cavalry rushed towards the 20,000-strong army on the opposite side with a posture of no hesitation.
And then he just killed it A scene that subverted everyone's military common sense unfolded: The 500 cavalry of the Northern Army easily rushed through the left flank of the Bolo, and in the course of their 500 cavalry charge, the Bolo archers immediately completed two volleys in the rear.
However, to everyone's shock, the two volleys of the archers caused zero damage to the Northern Army Those flying arrows fell on the cavalry of the Northern Army, it was really like a drizzle, and the cavalry didn't even have the interest of raising their shields to resist, just under the flying rain of arrows in the sky, they rushed directly into it, and all the arrows that were shot at them were easily bounced away, and it seemed that they were not charging in the rain of arrows at all, but in the drizzle Before the Bolo could be shocked, the cavalry had already rushed to their left flank.
The hoplites at the forefront of the Bolo had raised their shields, and in the gaps between the shields were a forest of spears This is the most standard and effective position to deal with cavalry charges According to normal military common sense, if the enemy has thousands of cavalry, it will have to come back at a considerable cost to break through this solid steel array.

But Char only subverted common sense once again.
Five hundred cavalry rushed to the phalanx of cavalry with shields erected and spears and heavy armor, and rushed directly into it There is no half-point skill, there is no half-point ingenuity, so it just collides head-on directly, and then breaks through It was as if what was in front of them was not a phalanx of hoplites, but a thin piece of butt paper Immediately, the nightmare of the Bolo began.
They were horrified to find that not only could the arrows fired by the previous archers not be able to damage these enemies, but even the spears and swords in their hands could not hurt the swords that the other party had slashed at the opponent's body, as if they had been cut on a stone Char's 500 cavalry, almost in a brutal and unreasonable way, forced their way into the ranks of the Bolos, and then directly tore their ranks apart There was even a ridiculous scene on the battlefield: finally the cavalry of the Northern Army rushed into the ranks of the Bolo people, the war horse tripped over the corpse on the ground, the cavalry fell to the ground, and was squeezed in the middle by several desperate Bolo soldiers around, and several swords and spears around him stabbed at the same time for a long time, but the cavalry was not injured at all, but rounded the stick in his hand, swept a Bolo soldier, and then turned over again The battle could not be fought Char's cavalry was invincible and invincible in the huge army formation of the Bolo, and one phalanx after another was quickly torn apart, and the cavalry of the Northern Army had a very clear goal: the banner of the Chinese Governor Hillman Hillman was horrified to find that his sturdy army was more vulnerable than tofu in the face of the footsteps of the cavalry, and his army was on its back, and the other party was almost rushing under his nose The governor, who liked to run naked, his first reaction was to turn around and flee As soon as the coach ran, the handsome flag fell immediately, and the Boluo army, which was still barely resisting, finally collapsed in an instant.
The army began to retreat like a tidal wave, at first retreating, and soon it turned into a collapse like a levy Five hundred cavalry from the north entered from the left flank and quickly cut through the Bolo army, and it was also cut horizontally The left wing goes in, and the right flank comes out At the time of the killing, the casualties of 500 cavalry were still a number that made all Bolo people desperate zero Immediately, these monsters, whose bodies were covered in blood and had broken flesh and severed limbs on their bodies, did not stop at all, turned their horses' heads, and killed them again.
On the battlefield, there was a scene that made everyone collapse The army of 20,000 people was divided by 500 cavalry like an avalanche, and then the tide was rout, and the 500 cavalry was like a duck in the back, biting 20,000 people to chase the Boluo army and was driven to the river beach, and finally there was no way to escape, some of them may have the courage to turn back and fight, but what made them even more desperate was that once the army of 20,000 people collapsed, they could no longer organize effective resistance.
Looking at the front and behind him, there were all people on the left and right, everyone was crowded into everything, their own people were trampled by their own people, their own people were squeezed into the river by their own people, and the huge Bolo people were killed by Char's five hundred cavalry and driven into the river Some of the Bolo people had already thrown down their weapons and jumped into the water of the Xiliuwan River, while the five hundred cavalry behind them were still waving their weapons almost mechanically to harvest their lives They weren't here to fight, they were here to complete a simple massacre If you can't beat it, you can't run away, so you can only jump into the river to escape Governor Hillman was lucky, he was one of the first to flee to the river under the protection of his guards, and he was also the first to jump into the river to escape, and under the protection of the guards, he was the first to flee to the other side of the river.
Then the naked governor stood on the other side of the river with a cry and watched his troops being driven down the river like ducks, and there was a crowd of people, and there were cries and wails everywhere On the other side, the remnants of Bolo's army, who had no time to jump into the river, had already begun to throw away their weapons and kneel down in surrender, giving up resistance. 20,000 against 500, losing so quickly and so completely The only thing that made Governor Hillman slightly relieved was that Char's men didn't seem to have any intention of crossing the river immediately, and they had already begun to clean up the battlefield and receive prisoners of war.
"Devils, devils, all of them are devils" Governor Hillman, who finally fainted, was defeated in the direction of his lair with the remnants of his army, under the protection of the guards around him.
In the Battle of Xiliuwan, the 20,000 troops of the Boluo people faced the battle, and less than 5,000 could cross the river alive.
More than 10,000 were killed and wounded, half of whom were killed on the battlefield, while the other half were drowned after jumping into the river After Char received thousands of surrendered troops, he stayed in Xiliuwan for only one day, and the second day he directly threw those surrendered troops in place, and he didn't even bother to leave people to take care of these prisoners of war, and there was indeed no extra troops around him to take care of the prisoners of war, Char took people to cross Xiliuwan easily, and then had a clear goal and galloped towards the capital city of the Bolo people.
From Xiliuwan to the capital of the Boluo Military Region, Char only took three and a half days.
He didn't leave much time for Governor Hillman.
In fact, for Hillman, the naked-running governor had already been scared out of his mind, and the first thing he did when he returned to the capital's lair was to summon the magician who had worked for him and tell him what had happened on the battlefield.
"They're devils, they must have used some kind of magic, right, only magic can make people resist the damage of swords, so that those guys are inferior to swords and guns, tireless" Looking at the Governor who was about to collapse, the magician muttered for a while: "Maybe they really used some kind of magic, but please rest assured, Your Excellency the Governor, with me here, I will think of ways to break the kind of magic they use According to your description, I think this should be a blessing spell similar to stone skin, and it won't be too difficult to break it." ” As it turned out, the magician's idea was good, but it was too simple.
When Char's soldiers approached the capital city of the Boluo Army, the whole city was in a stir.
Although the news of the defeat of the army had been known to everyone, when Char's five hundred cavalry appeared under the city gate, the entire city was shrouded in an almost absurd sense of fear.
Immediately, no matter how fearful Governor Hillman was, he had to take his men up to the city to resist the field battle, and he never had the courage to do so.
Of course, he took the magician with him to the wall.
Char's cavalry was just outside the city, and he didn't make a siege posture, in fact, he didn't plan to fight any siege at all.
Cavalry is cavalry after all, even these almost perverted super cavalry who have strengthened their bodies with the dragon blood of the golden dragon and strengthened their combat effectiveness with muscle fruits have not grown wings to fly to the city wall after all.
Char, however, had another way.
He saw Hillman standing on the wall, and he saw the gray-robed guy standing next to Hillman, who was a magician, Char recognized.
As for how to open the door to the capital city of the Boluo Military Region, Char chose the most direct and effective method He personally stepped in Above and below the city, under the gaze of more than 10,000 pairs of eyes, especially the magician who was still a little reserved and proud before, Char made a shocking move as if he was deliberately showing off He slowly rode out of the queue alone and came to the center of the battlefield, and then he slowly patted the batch of overly majestic white war horses under his crotch After a golden brilliant light, in the larger and larger light cluster, the outline of the war horse soon changed dramatically A majestic, huge, terrifying figure, little by little in the golden light revealed a huge body, golden scales, and the huge wings between the sky and the earth After the golden light finally gradually disappeared, all the defenders in the city after everyone saw the behemoth that appeared after the golden light instantly entered a state of silence For a long time, almost no one could say a word and make a sound Char stood on the back of the golden dragon, holding his huge fire fork in his hand, and with a slight hum, the golden dragon vibrated its wings and slowly flew into the air, condescendingly, looking down on the city Suddenly, a loud dragon whistle came from the sky, the whistle contained endless majesty, making people tremble, trembling under the dragon power of this whistling sound, the defenders on the city wall could not stand, countless people threw away their weapons in their hands, some knelt down to pray, some covered their ears and fainted, all the soldiers and civilians in the city ran outside, staring at the sky with wide eyes in horror, and Governor Hillman had already seen the golden dragon at the first time, his eyes were black and fell.
As for the magician beside him, there was still a half-reserved and arrogant look on his face Char's voice came from the sky.
"I heard you have a magician" The magician's face turned pale, and he immediately made a decision Almost immediately, the magician flew down the city, jumped out of the city, landed at the bottom of the city, and bowed directly to the dust, and spoke loudly to the sky with the most humble and deferential gesture.
"Great and powerful, please accept the submission of a lowly man like me."
He raised his wand with both hands, then lowered his head, not daring to look up again, for fear that the slightest movement of his own would be drawn hostile to the other party Are you kidding Golden Dragon, where is this opponent that a mid-level magician like me can compete with How powerful the golden dragon is, the magician doesn't know So, how strong is the person who can use a golden dragon as a mount?
At the moment when Char called for Darwin to turn into a dragon, the battle of the Bolo Military Region no longer had any suspense.
"Submit to me, or, die" It is worth mentioning that another detail happened at this time, although this detail did not affect the overall situation.
The eunuch-born general, in the face of the magical guy Xia Lei Ming, riding a golden dragon majestically, flew on the city wall, and arrogantly issued a declaration of "death if you don't surrender".
This eunuch general explained one thing to the world with practical actions: why can a eunuch like him actually mix in the army, and even get into the position of army commander, sit for so many years, and do quite well.
Because, he is a very kind person It's hard to imagine that in the entire Boluo Military Region, at the last moment, the real man really took the lead, but it was such a eunuch.
I have to say, this is really a very ironic thing.
This eunuch general, in the face of the behemoth in the sky, that huge monster, he did not tremble and fear like the other companions around him.
In the face of a declaration like "Surrender or Die", his reaction was also very direct and very kind.
His answer was to pick up a bow and shoot Char at the sky The arrow did not cause any damage to Char, and it did not even hit the target.
However, just as the general was about to shoot the second arrow, the people around him were afraid.
The soldiers and officers of the Bolo Army rushed up and knocked him down.
Obviously, they were afraid of Char, who was riding a dragon in the sky, but they didn't seem to be afraid of this boss.
Regarding the ending of this kind of eunuch general, it actually makes people sigh.
After being knocked down by his men, he fought back, trying to take up arms and order his men to fight back, and also planned to kill a few people who were afraid of not fighting to boost their morale.
Then he was killed by his own men, who were in a hurry to surrender.
He was the first, the only and the last, in the city.
History is fair, and later historians describe the process of Char's thunderous pacification of the north, and describe his elimination of the Boluo Military Region, the Xiliuwan Battle is very simple, and the description of the process of conquering the capital city of the Boluo Military Region is even more simple to a few words: "Defeated in a war".
However, this eunuch general, who did not even leave his name, asked historians to write a few more words for him.

"I don't know how to scold before I die."
When the governor fainted in fright, the mighty magician jumped off the wall and prostrate on the ground, and the thousands of defenders of the city dropped their weapons and knelt in surrender, a eunuch maintained the last vestiges of bravery and dignity of the Bolo people. ``` To be continued 〗Hanyu Pinyin "" is simple and easy to remember:
