Chapter 107: Huang Zhong and Lu Bu(1/2)
Sun Jian and Lu Bu, the soldiers of the two armies, had a head-on confrontation outside Yangren City.
Cheng Puke in the county is conscientious in his duties. He will not easily leave the county without Sun Jian's order. He is only acting as a support and carefully observing the situation of the two armies outside the county.
Sun Jian, Sun Bi, Zhu Zhi and others led their troops to approach Lu Bu at the cost of nearly a hundred casualties. Although their cavalry was small, in the densely wooded area, the halberds and sword-wielding soldiers in Sun Jian's army were able to
Inflict wounds on the Bingzhou army by stabbing the opponent's horses.
Huang Zhong, Wenpin, Cai Xun and others who arrived later used a detour to constantly harass Lu Bujun.
Lu Bu has been dealing with the Xiongnu all year round, and he has his own way of marching and fighting.
He did not leave the central army easily, but observed the situation on the battlefield and sent elite cavalry back and forth to instruct the soldiers to reinforce different fierce battle points.
Lu Bu did not go into battle easily, not because he did not have confidence in himself, but because he knew that Sun Jian was indeed very powerful and could not easily let him catch the opportunity.
Hua Xiong was killed because he was too generous.
Although the cavalry of the Bingzhou Army was powerful, it still suffered a lot in the terrain where there were many trees and could not fully gallop.
Of course, suffering a loss does not mean that the combat power is low, and there were not a few enemy troops who died at the hands of Lu Bu's Bingzhou cavalry commander.
In order to reduce the losses of the cavalry, Lu Bu asked the shield soldiers of the Bingzhou Army to cooperate with the crossbowmen to cover the knights on both sides.
The shield soldiers gathered together in units, with the crossbowmen behind them. They moved forward slowly, looking for the right moment to open their shields. Then, the archers under their cover immediately stepped forward. After a round of arrow rain was released, another
Go back quickly.
When preparing for the second round of arrow rain, the camps of those shield soldiers will open again...
Sun Jian's archers were also constantly engaging in exchanges of fire with the Bingzhou Army, but their lethality was not as high as that of their opponents.
Obviously, Bingzhou Army's rhythm was better controlled than that of Sun Jian's army.
Fortunately, the troops led by Huang Zhong and Wenpin are here.
Under his command, Wenpin's large shield soldiers stepped forward and flawlessly withstood two rounds of arrow rain from the Bingzhou Army.
In terms of defensive formations, ordinary people are not as strong as Wen Pin. He clearly grasped the rhythm and rules of Bingzhou Army's archery and commanded the troops to carry out tight defense.
And Huang Zhong commanded the crossbowmen to counterattack the opponent in accordance with Wenpin's rhythm...
Lu Bu, who was in the Chinese army, was horrified when he observed this fighting situation.
Sun Jianjun is known for his bravery, but the rhythm of the confrontation has never been strong, which is their weakness.
But the performance of these infantry and crossbowmen was quite different from the Sun's fighting method that Lu Bu had seen before...
Especially those shield soldiers, the defense is really tight.
All the generals, lieutenants, and lieutenants in the world have their own combat modes that they are good at and some that they are not good at. Some are due to experience, and some are due to personality.
Wenpin was not good at attacking forcefully, nor was he good at fighting quick battles. His best tactics were to attack steadily and advance slowly, so as to achieve the greatest results with the lowest casualties.
This kind of military formation must be broken!
Lu Bu straightened his back and shouted to the messenger beside him: "Let the wolf cavalry camp make a surprise attack!"
The messenger used the horn he carried with him and raised his head to blow towards the sky.
"Woo~! Woo~!"
Behind Lu Bu, a group of light cavalry armed with scimitars began to gallop forward.
The cavalry on the war horses are all short in stature and do not look very tall, which does not seem to match the tall war horses under their crotches.
But just such a combination can make these light cavalry extremely fast and agile.
They are very efficient in roundabout or curved combat, and are considered the most flexible light cavalry in Bingzhou.
These are the elite knights among the Bingzhou cavalry. They are called Wolf Cavalry, which means they move as fast and fierce as wolves.
This cavalry once galloped across the grasslands under Helan Mountain and Lang Mountain, often driving the enemy hundreds of miles away, quite shocking the Huns.
Now, the wolf knights who had been protecting Lu Bu were dispatched.
And Lu Bu was also surrounded by the wolf cavalry and followed the army forward...
The Wolf Cavalry was very fast and rushed to Wenpin's formation in the blink of an eye.
Wenpin was well prepared. He shouted loudly: "Wind!"
Then they saw the shield formation spreading slightly to both sides, and the spearmen behind them strode forward and stretched out their spearheads beside the shield soldiers.
The next moment, a team of hundreds of wolf riders crashed into the shield formation like a whirlwind.
It was like two black waves intersecting in countercurrents at the intersection, making a heavy lapping sound on the shore.
At that moment, blood filled the air...
There was blood splattered in the air after a Jingzhou army was trampled by a colliding horse.
There are also scenes of the wolf cavalry camp being torn apart after being pierced by spears.
Even though Sun Jian had been in battle for a long time, he couldn't help but be frightened after seeing this situation.
"The Bingzhou Army is nothing more than that... Who would have thought that the Jingzhou Army could be so brave!"
Sun Bi wiped the blood from his face and asked Sun Jian: "Uncle, let's go too!"
Sun Jian nodded, with a fierce look on his face: "Go! Send a letter to Demou and Gongfu, asking them to leave the county to outflank...Bier! Let's go and kill Lu Bu!"
…
Huang Zhong also took action.
He had been commanding the crossbowmen just now, but now that the wolf knight came forward with Lu Bu wrapped in his arms, Huang Zhong couldn't bear it anymore.
He handed over the command of the three-curved crossbowmen to his military princes, and he led his own troops to quickly advance to the battlefield in the middle.
After receiving Sun Jian's instructions, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai in the city led the crowd to surround them, and for a while, the west side of Yangren City became the largest battlefield tonight.
Although the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry are good at fighting, this cavalry alone cannot completely change the overall situation if the terrain does not have an advantage.
Fortunately, Lu Bu had been conquering Bingzhou for a long time and his experience was not ordinary.
His goal was to break off the rear, not to fight forcefully. It was almost time to retreat.
The Bingzhou infantry, shield soldiers, and crossbowmen under his command began to move closer to the central army. They organized themselves into units of troops or even to coordinate the wolf cavalry, ensuring killing while minimizing casualties.
This is a sign that you want to retreat.
Naturally, Sun Jian would not miss this opportunity.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The Sun family has few cavalry, but in the special terrain outside the county town, the infantry is easier to spread out in order, in several formations, and in order.
Carry out pursuit.
Whenever there is an order, a group of soldiers will rush forward without hesitation, engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Bingzhou Army, and then withdraw. When the next order is given, other troops will step forward to fill their positions.
The follow-up on both sides was handled by Huang Zhong.
His troops and horses were constantly following Lu Bu's central army from the side.
…
Liu Qi was in the rear, carefully observing the battle in the front line. As he watched, he asked: "In my opinion, if Sun Jian's army is not the main force to confront the Bingzhou army, what is the chance of victory for our Jingzhou troops against them?"
?”
Kuai Yue's face was serious, he stared at the battlefield in the distance seriously, and murmured: "Master, do you want to hear the truth?"
"truth."
"I'm afraid it's not even 30%."
Liu Qi let out a long sigh and said, "Sure enough, my experience in battle is still far behind."
…
In a battle between two armies, the safest person is the commander in command at the rear, but the most dangerous person is the general who is charging forward at the front.
Compared with the dispatchers in the rear, the battle supervisors are the real courage of the soldiers.
Huang Zhong brandished his sword and supported Sun Jian from the side.
Facing the proficient Bingzhou Army, even Huang Zhong was under great pressure.
Although he had personally killed sixteen people at this moment, it did not have much effect on the direction of the entire war.
All he can do now is to narrow the distance with the opponent's central army as much as possible. He can look for an opportunity to deal with Lu Bu just like he did with Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng in Xiangyang.
"Young Master, Huang Sima is moving towards the central formation, and he seems to want to capture Lu Bu!" Liu Qi and others followed the rear army and kept advancing, so they could more or less observe the battle situation in front.
At this time, the sky has gradually turned white, with a white belly in the east. The sun shines faintly on the battlefield, clearly reflecting the situation that could not be seen at night.
Liu Qi looked at the direction Huang Zhong was traveling...
He was aiming at the general with red tail feathers flying on his back.
It’s indeed Lu Bu!
Liu Qi felt a little nervous for Huang Zhong.
Can it be successful?
