Five hundred and twentieth IX abandonment
After learning about Xia Houyuan's defeat, Cao Cao became even more anxious and directly ordered: "Order the entire army to speed up! We must not let Lu Bu go!"
Xiahou Yuan's defeat greatly exceeded Cao Cao's expectations and directly disrupted all his plans. Although Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry were powerful, their speed was still much inferior to Xia Houyuan's cavalry. Now we can only hope for Xia Houyuan's cavalry.
The army was able to hold on stronger until Cao Chun's tiger and leopard cavalry arrived.
After Xia Houyuan left, Xia Houyuan's army's cloud energy dissipated directly, and even under the hasty condensation of the deputy general, it was unable to recover. Without the suppression of the army's cloud energy, Lu Bu exploded directly, his inner energy gushed out, and under the blessing of the cloud energy, he was behind the army.
Zhong Fei Wood's halberd light directly beat Xia Houyuan's army to pieces, leaving them unable to resist.
"Lord, don't kill me. Cao Cao's army is about to catch up. Let's retreat quickly!" Chen Gong said hurriedly when he saw that Xia Houyuan's army had been defeated.
Lu Bu, who was deep in the middle of the killing, cleared up after hearing this. Looking at the tiger and leopard cavalry who were about to catch up in the distance, his eyes flashed and he said angrily: "Retreat!"
The Bingzhou cavalry are all veterans who have fought with Lu Bu in Bingzhou for many years. This situation is not uncommon. When fighting against the Southern Xiongnu, they often fight with fewer enemies and more enemies. It is normal for them to quickly abandon the battlefield and withdraw when the opponent's reinforcements arrive. There is no delay at all.
He simply abandoned the enemy troops in front of him, and the Bingzhou Cavalry directly led the troops to quickly and orderly withdraw to the rear.
Xiahou Yuan's army had no fighting spirit without Xia Houyuan as their leader. They stayed where they were and did not dare to pursue Lu Bu.
Cao Chun, who led the tiger and leopard cavalry from behind, saw this scene and his eyes were extremely cold: "A bunch of trash!"
Cao Zhen, who followed Cao Chun as the deputy general of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, saw this and said anxiously: "General, Lu Bu is running away!"
"I know!" Cao Chun said with serious eyes, then hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Wen Lie, you lead the tiger cavalry behind, I will lead the leopard cavalry to catch up first!"
"But general, can the Leopard Cavalry alone be more powerful than Lu Bu?" Cao Zhen asked anxiously.
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are divided into Tiger Cavalry and Leopard Cavalry, which were formed by selecting elites from the armies of Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan respectively. The Tiger Cavalry is a heavy cavalry, generally used for attacking and charging, while the Leopard Cavalry is a light cavalry, fast and generally used for
Pursuit and supporting the attack from the flanks. The two are generally joint operations and cooperate with each other, but they will be divided into two when encountering an emergency.
Although the Leopard Cavalry is a light cavalry, its combat power as a military spirit legion is very good, and it is invincible against ordinary armies. But now they are facing Lu Bu's Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, whose combat power is only slightly inferior to that of the Leopard Cavalry, and their number is nearly five
Thousands. Both sides suffered a lot of damage from the Leopard Cavalry, and even the whole army was annihilated. That's why Cao Zhen was so worried.
"I won't fight with him head-on. I just need to entangle him. You must come to my rescue quickly! Lu Bu is my lord's enemy. You must not let him escape. Even if the Leopard Cavalry is destroyed, I will kill him."
Stop!" Cao Chun said harshly.
"No!" Seeing Cao Chun's firm gaze, the young Cao Zhen was filled with admiration and said sternly.
Cao Chun nodded slightly, then activated his legion's talent, split the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry into two, shouted loudly, and led the Leopard Cavalry to kill them quickly.
Without the Tiger Cavalry as a drag bottle, the Leopard Cavalry's speed surged instantly, almost as fast as Xia Houyuan's army at his peak, and they quickly pursued the Bingzhou Cavalry.
Lu Bu, who was marching rapidly, turned around and saw a small number of elite cavalry chasing him quickly, his eyes flashed with anger. Here we go again! Why are these Cao soldiers like brown sugar, they can't get rid of them no matter how hard they get rid of.
When two cavalry fight, the side that marches faster always has the advantage. If they can beat them, they can catch up, but if they can't, they can run away. Even with Lu Bu's courage in Bingzhou, he still couldn't wipe out the Southern Xiongnu, and even had a disadvantage.
The Xiongnu's rapid march was an important reason.
"My Lord, we can't look back now. This is the Leopard Cavalry among the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry of Cao's army. We will wait until the opponent is closer to us before we fight back. Try to fight quickly to prevent the Tiger Cavalry from coming to help." Finding out that Lu Bu wanted to return to the army to fight,
Chen Gong quickly stopped him.
Upon hearing this, Lu Bu groaned angrily in his heart when he saw the Leopard Cavalry led by Cao Chun. He suppressed his fighting spirit and continued to lead his army to retreat forward.
Realizing that Lu Bu had not tasted the sweetness and had no intention of returning to the army to pursue him again, Cao Chun sighed softly, and the trace of luck in his heart instantly dissipated. It was indeed difficult to deal with!
If Lu Bu directly led his army back to attack, he would immediately change direction and flee. With his marching speed far exceeding that of the opponent, Lu Bu could only follow him and eat dirt. But the opponent was obviously on guard and knew that he was not a grumpy person.
, and Xia Houyuan, who had a lot of troops.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and soon, Cao Chun's Leopard Cavalry was within the bow and arrow range of the Bingzhou Cavalry. Lu Bu had no intention of returning to attack, but just ordered the Bingzhou Cavalry behind to keep shooting arrows, blocking the Leopards.
The cavalry marched into the army.
Faced with Lu Bu's cautious move, Cao Chun was filled with hatred. After following him for a while and finding that Lu Bu had not responded, Cao Chun, even though his heart was extremely painful, still said loudly and resolutely: "Kill!
"
Then he mobilized the legion's cloud energy to support him, and led the Leopard Cavalry to accelerate quickly, directly stabbed Lu Bu's rear army, and fought with him.
"Well done!" Lu Bu's eyes were full of excitement. He had not forgotten the hatred of countless troops under his command being slaughtered by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Thinking about the more than 10,000 Bingzhou cavalry and the tens of thousands of troops, Lu Bu already felt that
I was extremely heartbroken and full of resentment towards Cao Chun's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
"Turn around on both sides! Kill!" Lu Bu shouted angrily.
Under Lu Bu's order, the Bingzhou cavalry of the former Chinese army was directly divided into two. The accelerating marching wild goose formation quickly transformed into a long snake formation, and the head and tail were surrounding the leopard cavalry in the rear.
"Retreat!" Cao Chun, who had been mentally prepared for this, was shocked when he saw Lu Bu's Bingzhou cavalry formation changing so smoothly and quickly, and said quickly.
Upon hearing the order, the Leopard Cavalry immediately stopped its attack and prepared to retreat to the rear.
But how could Lu Bu's Bingzhou cavalry agree? The rear army turned into the front army and changed direction. The Bingzhou cavalry, originally the rear army, frantically entangled the Leopard cavalry regardless of casualties.
The Bingzhou cavalry who travel across Bingzhou can be called elite soldiers not only because of their strong individual combat power, but also because of their unique wolf pack spirit like a foreign race. With tacit cooperation, the team can seize the opponent's strength regardless of casualties.
The weakness is to attack fiercely without any regard for life or death.
The ruthlessness of Lu Bu and the Bingzhou cavalry completely exceeded Cao Chun's expectations. The other party was directly planning to abandon the entire rear army in order to eliminate him!
