Cheng Yu also encountered many enemies along the way, and he had a lot of credit in his hands. He even beheaded two lieutenants of Sun Ce's army. The only one who didn't gain much was Lu Bu. .
Lu Bu pursued all the way, but from time to time, a soldier of Sun Ce's army, led by a hundred generals, would appear from some hills, desperately coming to stop Lu Bu's Bingzhou wolf cavalry. Lu Bu took the lead. The scattered soldiers were naturally nothing to worry about, but the appearance of these people stopped the speed of Lu Bu's army. The path that Lu Bu chose was already rough, and now this situation is even more so. Naturally, the speed cannot be increased.
But Lu Bu was not angry, because the harder it was to walk, it meant that there was a big fish ahead, maybe Sun Ce was in front, and the murderous intent in Lu Bu's eyes became even more glorious when he thought of this.
The three-way Bingzhou wolf cavalry completely cut off the soldiers and horses of Sun Ce's army. No less than 10,000 people died among the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, and the rest trampled to death and killed each other. There are also kneeling and surrendering. Sun Ce's attack on Wancheng this time can be regarded as a defeat. The 100,000 troops came. In addition to the 10,000 elite sailors in the water army camp in Wancheng, there are 5,000 soldiers under Sun Ce's command. Besides the five thousand mysterious trilogy that has never shown their faces, the other soldiers and horses are really routs, routs, death, death, surrender, surrender, the 70,000 army plus 10,000 Danyang and the entire army are almost wiped out, only less than 10,000 Yu's deserters fled back to Dazhai of the Wancheng Navy.
After fighting for so many years, this is Sun Cejun's first major defeat, and he lost so thoroughly.
The resistance is getting stronger and stronger. There were only one or two hundred soldiers of Sun Ce blocking the way before, but now there are more and more. Half battalions and half battalions have begun to appear, and they are all organized. But they are all elite episodes, Sun Ce just took them out to die! Then it means that Sun Cejun's big fish is not far away.
"It's right in front!" Lu Bu had already seen a large group of soldiers gathered in front of him, and among those soldiers was guarding a young man in robes.
"It's not Sun Ce?!" Lu Bu frowned. This is a scribe, not because the scribe robe worn by the young man in front told Lu Bu, but from the breath of that young man, not a warrior. But seeing the appearance of being protected by these soldiers, he knew that this was also an important figure in Sun Ce's army, so let's take him down first.
"The whole army strikes!" Behind Lu Bu, the Bingzhou wolf cavalry sped up. The horses under their crotches passed obstacles one after another, and each one was concave and rugged. They are the king of cavalry. When they are with the horses, they are one with the horse. Although the rugged path was difficult, they mastered the skills after walking for a while, and the speed of the horses suddenly increased.
In addition, after this section is an open area, enough for cavalry to maneuver.
"Huh?!" Lu Bu took the lead, his eyesight was excellent, he could see the expression on the face of the young scribe who was guarded by Sun Ce's soldiers in the middle, indifferently! That's right, it was a kind of indifference, that kind of expression was not the panic and uneasiness of being chased and killed at all, but a very calm look, which made Lu Bu feel a little uneasy.
"It's time!" It was Lu Su Lu Zijing who was guarded by Sun Ce's soldiers in the middle. He was wearing a long robe. He was Sun Ce's military adviser, so naturally he would be desperately protected by these Sun Ce's soldiers.
He indifferently looked at the galloping Bingzhou wolf cavalry behind him. Although Lu Su was a little terrified by the bloodthirsty aura of the wolf cavalry, he felt he had grasped the overall situation.
"What!" Lu Bu finally knew where his uneasiness came from. The war horse galloped over a concave and rugged place, but suddenly the horse staggered, and the war horse fell down together with Lu Bu.
"Falling the horse pit!" This is a way to deal with the cavalry. Compared with the rejection of the horse in front of the battalion, the drop in the horse pit is much more powerful. If you step in, very few people come out alive. Soldiers of Sun Ce have already dug a big hole here, and the bottom is full of upside-down wooden stakes. These wooden stakes are polished very sharp, let alone human beings. Well, even if an animal with thick leather armor falls into it in the forest, it will be directly pierced by him and bleed to death. It is paved with straw and added with soil.
Lu Bu fell into the pit for the first time with his horse, and the Bingzhou wolf riders behind couldn't stop their horses, and one after another fell into the pit for a while, screaming.
"Did it succeed?!" Lu Su had expectations in his heart, but he also knew that it couldn't be so simple.
Sure enough, among the Bingzhou wolf riders who fell into the horse pit one after another, a war horse suddenly became more angry, and on the back of the horse, a war general with a golden armor and a halberd appeared again. He actually jumped out of the falling horse pit.
Only those who fell down and died, even if they were lucky and survived, it would be difficult to get out without the help of others, but Lu Bu jumped out again with his horse, this, this is still human!
Lu Su suppressed the shock in his heart to calm himself down. The other troops of the Bingzhou Wolf Riders also discovered the pit. Before the pit, the wolf riders raised the heads of their horses high and let the horses jump. Go up to the sky, jump directly across the Luoma Hang to the opposite side, or directly bypass the Luoma Hang and rush across the sidewalk.
"Hey!" Lu Su was a little disappointed, but he didn't expect this trap to really hurt Lu Bu. "Lv Bu, Lu Fengxian!" The battle flag in Lu Su's hand was waved, and a group of soldiers in front of him raised their shields to form a shield wall, and their spears also pointed forward to form a gun forest.
These things can be regarded as the defense that infantry can carry out when facing cavalry. Turn yourself into a hedgehog or a tortoise. If your cavalry wants to bite me, be prepared to be stabbed.
"This is not allowed!" Lu Bu licked his lips. He wanted to stain the blood of the Lu Su army scholar in front of him first. The pit just now killed a Bingzhou wolf rider with no less than fifty riders. For these wolves, revenge is what they want to do most.
"Of course not, what if you add this!" Countless figures suddenly stood up from the hills on both sides, and there were no less than five thousand people on the hills. These were soldiers, and they were wearing the uniforms of Sun Ce's army. These people are all ambush soldiers. They hold longbows in their hands. The bows and arrows are already stringed. They are aiming at Lu Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Rider.
"Let go!" The command flag in Lu Su's hand was waved all of a sudden, and countless arrow rains shot towards the Bingzhou wolf rider from which hills. The dense arrow rain made people feel numb. .
"Too fantastic!" Lu Bu's Bingzhou wolf riders would not flinch at all, "Pick up the shield!" The outermost layer of Bingzhou wolf riders quickly picked up the giant shield from the side of the horse, and Bingzhou wolf riders are not everyone's horses They all have giant shields, and only a few have shields, and these shields are not for covering themselves, but for war horses.
"Shua, Shua, Shua!" The rain of arrows fell and hit the giant shield, and a series of sounds rang out. Most of the arrows were blocked, even if some arrows passed through the giant shield and hit Bingzhou. The wolf riders couldn't bring them any harm at all, because they were not ordinary cavalry, they were heavy armored cavalry.
"It really is like this!" Lu Su didn't panic, his eyes were scanning the approaching Bingzhou wolf riders, those heavy armors, those giant shields were the same style as the city management army of the King of Shu in Wancheng, Heavy armored cavalry and wolf cavalry! Lu Su's thoughts were still after those Bingzhou wolf riders appeared on the horizon, the attack on the 10,000 Sun Ce's army, although those Sun Ce's army was defeated, it can't be done without any damage, there are always some people dying There will be an explosion in front of him, but the final result is that less than a hundred people escaped from ten thousand horses.
"Huh!" Lv Bu snorted coldly. If the Bingzhou wolf cavalry is a sharp sword, then he, Lu Bu, is the sharp sword whose tip pierces the enemy's chest. Finally, the Bingzhou wolf cavalry meets Lu Su's infantry. They bumped into two war machines and started their fight. As the tip of a sword, Lu Bu quickly tore a hole in these pawns. Those huge shields and long spears were nothing in front of Lu Bu, and no one could stop them. Lu Bu for a moment.
Lu Bu wanted to create another battle result, to tear open this opening, and let him become the enemy's fatal wound from this opening. The cavalry's tactic is to rely on the horse's momentum to separate the enemy one by one. Swallow it mouthful, if there are too many enemies and the cavalry insists on a strong attack, then they can only swallow the enemy and choke themselves to death.
Lu Bu would not make such a mistake. To Lu Bu's astonishment, these newly torn openings began to heal slowly. It should not be said to be healing, but to give up the gap and form a new square. Formation, once again surrounded the forest of shields, walls and guns.
"This man is good at commanding troops!" Lu Bu's first impression of those young scribes was like this, but even if he could command troops, so what, cavalry is king in the wilderness, and cavalry is the nightmare of all infantry. , the cavalry is the king, why those nomadic foreigners can always knock off, why their comprehensive strength is so weak, they can't salt iron, can't make weapons but they can cause huge damage to the big men, that is because they are good at riding horses Raising horses, the maneuverability of war horses, and his impact are definitely not what infantry can make up for.
And now the cavalry in Lu Bu's hands is the Bingzhou wolf cavalry. If cavalry is the king of cold weapons, then the Bingzhou wolf cavalry is the king of cavalry.
There are about 3,000 soldiers and horses on the hill, but they can't hurt the Bingzhou wolf cavalry much, especially the Bingzhou wolf cavalry rushed into the battle formation of the Sun Ce army's infantry, and now there are Sun Ce army infantry in this wilderness Five thousand soldiers, close to ten thousand enemies, but in Lu Bu's eyes, they are just the glory of Bingzhou Wolf Riders.
Bingzhou wolf cavalry can swallow them one bite at a time. Even if this young man can lead the army, it is useless in the face of absolute strength.
It was another charge. Although Lu Su reacted quickly this time, he still lost no less than a thousand people. Now there are more than 3,000 of the 5,000 soldiers and horses left.
"Still struggling!" Lu Bu watched with twinkling eyes as Lu Su went on like this for less than an hour, and all these soldiers and horses would be wiped out.
"The real battle hasn't started yet!" Lu Su also looked at Lu Bu. He also thought about the strength of the cavalry, but he didn't expect the cavalry to be so powerful that they could kill a thousand people in two rounds. However, Lu Bu's casualties could only bring less than a hundred riders' losses, and the losses of less than a hundred riders were caused by falling into the horse pit just now, and the rest were minor injuries and none of them were serious injuries.
"Oh?!" Lu Bu frowned. What did the young man mean? Could it be that he wanted the thousands of people on the hill to come down together? What do you want to do with a bunch of light infantry? Come up collectively to die!
"Boom, boom, boom!" The ground began to vibrate. The vibration was very rhythmic. The south of the Yangtze River was wet and the vibration was not strong, but Lu Bu, the wolf king, who was familiar with war horses and cavalry tactics since he was a child, immediately reacted. .
"Cavalry! There are a large number of cavalry!" The other Bingzhou wolf cavalry also reacted, especially those old people who really fought with Lu Bu from Wuyuan in Bingzhou. Outside of Bingzhou, their main opponents are fighting with foreigners Fighting, and those foreigners rely on cavalry, so cavalry warfare is very common outside the Great Wall, but now this Jiangnan water town, this Jiangnan plain has such fluctuations.
This sense of shock is definitely no less than 5,000 people, 5,000 cavalry! how come! Lujiang is now the battlefield between Lu Bu's army and Sun Ce's army. Lu Bu has 5,000 cavalry under his command. They are Bingzhou wolf cavalry, and they are here now. The ones who are about to rush to the battlefield are either Bingzhou wolf cavalry or Sun Ce's cavalry.
"Really willing!" The corner of Lu Bu's mouth turned cold. This is a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. The waterways are criss-crossed and mainly used in water warfare. War horses are mainly produced in the north, in Youzhou, Bingzhou, Hebei, and Yongzhou, Liangzhou, in the northwest. In this Jingzhou The appearance of cavalry in Yangzhou and Yuzhou is really amazing. A war horse can be bought and sold in Youzhou and Bingzhou at most for dozens of gold, but in the Jiangnan generation, it may be worth a hundred gold, or even a hundred gold. Now Hebei is occupied by Yuan Shao Yea, Yuan Shao has always wanted to enter the Central Plains to dominate and become emperor, how could the resource of war horses be exposed, so Youzhou Bingzhou has banned the trade of war horses.
A little to the east, there is a Liaodong Gongsundu who is selling war horses, but Gongsundu wants to sell him, but he can't sell it. The land road is blocked by Yuan Shao.
Although war horses are still being traded in Liangzhou, they cannot be transported to the south of the Yangtze River. There are only two ways to transport war horses from Liangzhou. One is to go through Jiayuguan and go to Hanzhong. This road will reach Jingzhou no matter whether you take water or land. Liu Biao’s territory (Zhangxiu in Wancheng is now a vassal for Liu Biao on the surface), Liu Biao and Sun Ce are feuds, and they have been fighting for many years. Once the horses arrive at Liu Biao, they will be gone. The second is to leave Chang’an and go to Luoyang, where But Mrs. Cao's territory, you said Mrs. Cao regarded Sun Ce as a great enemy, so he would keep the horses in Sun Ce's territory!
Then you can only go by sea. From Gongsundu, the prince of Liaodong, the sea! Those warships that may be giants in the Yangtze River become flat boats when they reach the sea, especially the large ships that can't go out to sea at all, and they can capsize with a little wind and waves!
It is not at all dangerous to sail from Jiangdong to Liaodong to buy war horses and then come back from Liaodong. Maybe the whole army will be wiped out in a storm. The value of each of these war horses is not less than a hundred gold!
A large flag with the word Yu was raised above the wilderness, and beside the banner with the word Yu, there were Taishi, and two banners were flying.
"Heavy armored cavalry!" Lu Bu finally saw the secret troop heavy armored cavalry in Sun Ce's hands. A horse with a heavy armor of up to 100 catties must be a good horse. These five thousand cavalry should be the limit of the entire Jiangdong. Bar!
That's right, these 5,000 are the secret troops among the 30,000 main forces that Sun Ce brought to deal with the Bingzhou wolf cavalry, and the Bingzhou wolf cavalry is a heavy armored cavalry. If he can't beat him, he can escape. Sun Ce brought these five thousand heavy armored cavalry. He originally planned to use the five thousand heavy armored cavalry and other main forces to encircle and suppress the Bingzhou wolf cavalry who came to Wancheng to support them. .
As long as the Bingzhou Wolf Riders are wiped out, Lu Bu will really be nothing to worry about. The reason why Lu Bu's army is a headache is because of his cavalry commander, relying on high maneuverability, once he fights guerrilla warfare with you, no prince can bear it. Five thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry can travel hundreds of miles a day, and they may travel hundreds of miles during the day. In addition, at night, you will suddenly arrive at your city gate, who can bear a charge of five thousand wolf cavalry! At that time, you will not be able to catch up, nor will you be able to fight, you can only smash your teeth and swallow them in your stomach.
Lu Bu once used the high mobility of the Bingzhou Wolf Rider to take down most of Yanzhou and almost blocked Lao Cao's back road! So Bingzhou wolf rider is Sun Ce's scruples.
But before the siege of Bingzhou wolf cavalry began, Sun Ce could not defeat Wancheng, so all plans were disrupted. Bingzhou wolf cavalry is the number one cavalry in the world. Lao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry once fought against Bingzhou. The wolf knights have faced off, and what is the final outcome! Cao Chun lived and died, half of the tigers and leopards died, so Sun Ce would not take them out without absolute certainty. So after the Wancheng navy camp was taken down, these heavy armored cavalry were placed in the navy camp.
But now that Lu Bu had joined Lu Su's plan, Sun Ce was taking the last gamble, so he sent Tai Shici to the navy camp overnight to pull out the heavy cavalry.
"Now is the real beginning!" Lu Su looked straight at Lu Bu. Only cavalry can solve the cavalry. All Lu Su's previous actions were just to support Lu Bu. Now that his work is completed, let's look at that next. Five thousand heavy armored cavalry from Sun Ce's army! Whether to hunt and kill all these hungry wolves on the spot or be pounced on by these hungry wolves to become food in the end depends on this battle! (To be continued.)
