Chapter 2056: The young wolf sees blood, the inheritance of the cavalry
In the early morning, when the sky was just getting dark, Lu Bu had already gotten up.
This has been his habit for many years. No matter how tired he is, no matter what he did the day before, when the time comes, he will wake up naturally without being called by anyone around him, and then he will find an open place to practice martial arts. There will be no day in the wind or rain.
Intermittent.
Even in the Han Dynasty and in the towns, Lu Bu had the same style, let alone now in the Western Regions, fighting on the battlefield, waiting until Lu Bu's body was steaming from practice, and then with the help of his attendants and guards, he would sweat and eat.
, the helmet is pierced through the armor, it is almost close to the time of Mao.
In the camp, a brief order from the camp sergeant to reorganize the team and assign tasks was heard, and the war machine composed of thousands of Han soldiers started to move again.
"That kid from the Gao family, how far have you walked?" Lu Bu held the hand on his head to make the position more comfortable.
Wei Xu said from the side: "We should be almost at the shallows..."
Lu Bu snorted.
Wei Xu glanced at Lu Bu, and then said: "My lord, do you want..."
"If you fart, let it go!" Lu Bu glanced sideways.
Wei Xu chuckled twice and said, "I just think...General Gao, he seems to like that guy Gao Wutong... Do you want to send someone to remind him..."
Lu Bu turned around, looked at Wei Xu, and then watched Wei Xu lower his head little by little, stretched out his hand and patted Wei Xu's helmet, "Stop using your tricks, kid! Have you sent any scouts out?"
?』
Wei Xu held on to his helmet, which was slightly tilted by Lu Bu's shot, and said, "Return to my lord, we were sent out half an hour ago."
Lu Bu nodded, then clasped his hands behind his back, looked at the sky and said: "In the desert, every little wolf needs to see blood to grow up... Only those who can survive are qualified to eat meat... Send the order and set off."
, March!』
……(?′?`?)……
Gao Wutong sneezed twice in succession, then wiped his nose while gesturing on the march map, trying to find the exact location of his house on the march map.
"Gan!"

I don’t know which year the Western Region March Map was made, or who drew the “great abstract” work. The marks and geographical locations on the map are often not drawn according to fixed standards. There are two marks on the march map.
Although they seem to be the same distance apart, perhaps in reality, one blank space represents fifty miles, and the other represents five hundred miles...
Gao Wutong wanted to determine a rough location on the map, but after comparing it with his hand, he felt that the map was really useless, so he simply pushed the map and said with emotion, "Damn it! This map is so wrong!"
Gao Wutong looked at the shoal in front of him and frowned.
There is an underground river under the ford, so drinking water is not a problem, but the surrounding fields are open and empty to the left and right. If they really encounter Wusun's cavalry, there won't even be any shelter.
Gao Wutong was originally a son of a good family who had been working and studying for generations. Even his father Gao Yan reached the pinnacle of his life and was appointed as the prefect of Shanggu. But later...
Gao Wutong sighed and stood up.
This is an unknown shoal. The melted ice water from the snow-capped mountains forms a bay here, floating shallowly on the ground. The sand and gravel in the river bed are clearly visible.
The water and grass around the shoal are thick, and a little further ahead there is a small lake, or small pool, which is not big anyway. Some birds and small animals are drinking water there, and they are not too avoiding humans.
The sound of horse hooves was heard, and the scouts who went out for inspection returned and reported that nothing unusual was seen within a radius of more than ten miles.
But Gao Wutong still felt uneasy, and his eyes were still wandering up and down the shallows, with a deep light shining in his eyes, like a bottomless black pool.
"Captain, do you want to set off?"
"..." Lieutenant Gao muttered, "No, wait a minute..." He sent out two groups of scouts. Although the first group reported nothing abnormal when they came back, he felt that he had to wait until the second group also came back to do the work.
Decide.
This is a little trick Gao Wutong learned.
Because dispatching scouts is common sense in the army, detection and counter-detection have become a game. Many people think that as long as they hide the first batch of the opponent's scouts, they can take action, but this will
Detected by the second batch of scouts...
While we were waiting, there were scouts running towards us from a distance. From a distance, they were shouting at the top of their necks, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Northwest! Northwest!"
The vicuña grain transport queue suddenly became chaotic!
"Calm down! Someone is still here! Let the scouts come!" Gao Wutong's head also buzzed, he took a deep breath to calm down, and shouted loudly, "Who is he? How many soldiers are there?"
"Wusun people! Northwest! About five hundred cavalry!" The scout shouted hoarsely with sweat on his face, "We will be here in half an hour, at most half an hour!"
Gao Wutong gritted his teeth and stared in the northwest direction. Although he couldn't see the smoke rising yet, he believed that Wusun's cavalry would attack with boundless murderous intent before long!
Fortunately he sent two groups of scouts!
Otherwise, he would encounter the incoming Wusun cavalry head-on during the transportation process. At that time, his queue would be long and the Wusun cavalry would come prepared, and the consequences would be disastrous...
"Captain!"
"Captain! What to do?!"
The soldiers under his command stood in front of them, asking all kinds of questions. Even if they could barely control their voices, they could not help but reveal some nervousness.
At this moment, Gao Wutong had countless thoughts running through his mind...
escape?
I was on a food transport errand, and I abandoned my food and fled. Even if I could escape, I would still lose my head!
war?
Wusun's cavalry is twice as many as his own, and his men are not like the elite cavalry under Lu Dadu's command. Many of them joined the Han army in the Western Regions Army at this time, with average riding skills and average combat power...
Shou?
This area is open to wind from all sides and has open fields. Is it possible to use water plants as a barrier to defend it?
While thinking about it, cold sweat broke out on Gao Wutong's forehead.
"..." Gao Wutong took a long breath, tried his best to keep his tone steady and strong, raised his arms and stood in the air, "Everyone! Listen to the order!"
……(?▽?)/……
"You said the Protector..." Yun Er walked towards Wei Xu on horseback, "How can you be sure that those grandsons will definitely come out?"
Wei Xu rolled his eyes, did he mean not to answer, and was afraid that Yun Er would be confused. If this guy really got confused, most people, except Lu Bu, might not be able to control it. Wei Xu thought that he was not an "ordinary person", but
There's no need to get into trouble with a fool over such a trivial matter, right?
So Wei Xu said: "Didn't General Gao just clean up a bunch of Wusun people a few days ago...Hey, let's put it this way, doesn't your family have quite a few villages?"
Yun Er nodded.
"Your stockades are large and small, and then a small stockade is attacked. What do you do? Do you need to send people to fight back?" Wei Xu explained as much as possible in a way that Yun Er could understand, "Then you know
The opponent is powerful, and you may not be able to beat him head-on..."
"How can I not defeat him?!" Yunji's eyes widened.
"I'm just making an analogy! Hey! It's an analogy, do you understand? For example, that village was defeated by Dadu Protector!" Wei Xu couldn't help but stare, "Can you defeat Dadu Protector?"
Yun Er couldn't help but look forward, then shuddered for a moment, then turned to Wei Xu, and held back a sentence, "Why did the Protector want to attack my stronghold?"
"No one is attacking your village! Let's use an analogy!" Wei Xu was a little crazy.
Yun Er stared, "I can't even compare it to Fangzhai. The "fangzhai" village belongs to my third uncle..."
"Ah?" Wei Xu was stunned for a long time before he reacted, "...your third uncle's village is called "Bifang"?"
"Ang!" Yun Er was very serious and looked at Wei Xu seriously.
"Hi!" Wei Xu couldn't continue for a breath and expressed that he was very hurt, "I...I have something to do now, so I won't tell you. I will talk about it when I have time..."
……ヾ(^▽^ヾ)……
"Wusun... Wusun people! Wusun people are coming!"
Following the shrill shouting, the people near the shoal got into chaos. They abandoned their food and camels one after another, burrowed into the long grass, and scattered like birds and animals.
There was even a fire igniting, as if the fire had been accidentally dropped on the grain.
While the billowing black smoke rose into the sky, the Wusun cavalry also reached the shoal. The sound of the Wusun cavalry's hoofbeats sounded like muffled thunder, raising towering smoke and dust, and shaking everything around the shoal.
They ran away in all directions, and even the water in the small lake made ripples.
"Hahahaha, cowardly Han people..." the Wusun people shouted, waving their scimitars, and happily rushed straight into the shallows.
Camels running away in all directions, and grain and grass that had no time to pack were piled here and there everywhere.
No one resisted, it was an easy victory.
Several Wusun cavalry were the first to rush to the ford. Then, without waiting for the horses to slow down completely, they quickly turned over and jumped off the horse. Then they opened the grain bag on the ground with a knife, revealing the grain inside, and grabbed a handful.
Just stuffed it into my mouth, and my eyes lit up...
"Bu! Here! Han people's cloth!"
Someone exclaimed again, and then several people hurriedly turned their horses over, "Hey! Leave some for me, my mother-in-law is still thinking about it..."
"Look what I found?! Oh ho ho ho..."
The Wusun people were shouting and rejoicing as if they were celebrating a new year. Some people even twisted their waists and danced while holding the newly obtained supplies.
"How many people have passed by!" The leader of Wusun also laughed, not caring about the chaotic scene at all, and pointed with his hand, "Over there, camels! There are camels! Don't let the camels run away!"
Wusun's little leader only received an order to attack the Han grain transport team. He didn't know why he did it, or he didn't think about what the Wusun commander wanted to achieve. Anyway, he didn't know why he wanted to do it.
Now the Han people's grain transport queue is here. He also attacked here and successfully drove away the Han people. Then his mission was naturally completed.
As for why the Han people ran away?
The Han people were afraid, cowardly, and ran away. Do you need to think too much about it? You can get a lot of supplies without fighting, so what's wrong with that?
……(●′?｀●)……
"Captain Gao! There's smoke!"
"..." Gao Wutong gritted his teeth and stood up, using the silk ribbon on his armor to cover up some of his nervousness, "Send the order! Get ready! Mount your horse!"
Following the order, the Han people pulled up the lying war horses one by one from the grass, then adjusted the saddles and belly ties, and turned over one after another. Suddenly, it was as if iron poles were growing out of the grass.
Pimple-like.
Gao Wutong drew his sword, pulled out a piece of cloth, bit one end on his mouth, and began to wrap the other end around his hand holding the sword. This was also learned from the elite veterans of the Great Protectorate. In this way, he would not
The greasy blood made it difficult to hold the sword tightly, causing it to fall off.
The strips of cloth were crossed and tied into a tight knot.
As if he had made a final decision in his heart, Gao Wutong found that his original nervousness seemed to have disappeared. He waved the sword twice and felt that it was very smooth.
Gao Wutong turned around and slowly looked at his subordinates one by one. "If you run away, you may be able to live like a wild dog, or you may be able to live towards death like a warrior! Those who want to be dogs can do so now."
Get lost, if you want to be a warrior, just follow me!"
"We are Han people! We are warriors!"
"We are the frontier army of the Western Regions, the Han Hussars!"
"Follow someone and kill him back!"
The Wusun people did not expect that the Han people actually killed a carbine.
When Gao Wutong came with his men and horses, the Wusun people were either chasing the scattered camels, or tying the various supplies they had just snatched onto their horses, and some of them were even leading their horses in the small lake.
Drinking water is completely out of order.
Amidst the Wusun people's screams, Gao Wutong rushed to the front and was already approaching the outskirts of the Wusun people...
"Weak hand side...weak hand side..."
Gao Wutong muttered something.
Han Hussars, Cavalry Combat Course, the first subject.
The attack prioritizes the opponent's weak hand side.
All cavalry has a strong side and a weak side. If the strong side overcomes the weak side, it means winning by three points first.
To put it simply, the strong hand side means the side that uses the weapon is the strong hand side. Of course, if you think of the elites under the command of Dadu, the strength of the weapons of the left and right hands is basically the same, so naturally it is difficult to distinguish the strong side from the weak side, but
For most ordinary cavalry, the strong and weak sides are relatively obvious. Generally speaking, the right side is the strong side.
A normal cavalry charge usually involves the stronger side versus the stronger side. However, when Gao Wutong charged over, many Wusun cavalry were not ready yet, so the formations were inconsistent and there was a flaw.
Arrows were shot in twos and threes. Some hit the armor with a "ding" sound and were bounced away, while others pierced it with a "pop" sound. Gao Wutong stared straight ahead and had no time to care.
Will these arrows hit him? He needs to find the most suitable angle to cause the greatest damage to the Wusun people!
The Wusun cavalry was turning as much as possible, trying to face Gao Wutong's direction. At the same time, Gao Wutong was also adjusting his direction, trying to force the opponent's weak hand side as much as possible. The two sides were like two
Among the crocodiles swirling in the shallows, no one wants to expose their belly, and everyone wants to tear the other with their frontal claws...
"Follow someone!" Gao Wutong kicked the horse's belly twice, and shouted as the horse neighed in pain, "Kill! Kill!"
Before the shouts ended, the knights from the two armies had already collided hard!
The sound of war horses neighing and screaming, the clashing of weapons on both sides, and the sound of soldiers screaming and falling from their horses suddenly sounded earth-shattering on this river beach.
Gao Wutong finally caught the Wusun cavalry's formation, which was unable to completely turn around, and forced the Wusun cavalry to engage in hand-to-hand combat without applying soap... er, fully prepared.
When the two sides collided, the Wusun people suffered a loss. The Han cavalry following Gao Wutong flew up and down with swords and spears. On the one hand, the Wusun cavalry had to turn around to defend and parry, but on the other hand, there was almost no chance.
There was no room for dodge, and it was very difficult and embarrassing. I don’t know how many Wusun cavalry fell in an instant!
If the most correct response method for the Wusun people at the moment is to temporarily abandon this group of cavalry entangled with Gao Wutong, then organize another array, and then wait for Gao Wutong and others to fight back when their power is exhausted, there will be a big difference.
With a certain probability, they can counterattack successfully and at least remain undefeated. However, the problem is that these Wusun people are not professional soldiers. They do not have this quality. Most of them are temporarily recruited from various tribes. Therefore, in
When encountering Gao Wutong's surprise attack, I was confused and discouraged. Now let alone reorganizing the queue in a short time, even the courage to fight may not be able to maintain its original state...
After seeing their family members in front being killed by Gao Wutong and retreating step by step, some Wusun people did not want to step forward to help, but thought of taking the harvested property and fleeing the battle without hesitation.
The stars scattered in twos and twos.
What made the Wusun people even more desperate was that just as they were fighting each other with Gao Wutong and others, a large amount of smoke and dust rose up in the southeast direction, and soon there were roaring cavalry with tricolor flags flying up from both wings.
The Wusun people were suddenly frightened like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. No matter what position he was in, he jumped up high with a yelp, turned around and ran away!
In a daze, Gao Wutong ushered in the first actual victory of the cavalry in his life. It was not until this moment that the smell of smoke, the smell of blood, and the breathing of himself and his horse made him feel overwhelmed again.
Smell and hear...
Gao Wutong slid off his horse and supported his body with his sword. Blood flowed down along the sword.
A tall figure came in front of him, shrouding the sky above Gao Wutong.
Gao Wutong slowly raised his head and looked up along the horse's hooves. Then he was spat on by the Red Rabbit Horse. He subconsciously took a half step back and saluted quickly, "Da, Da Du Protector..."
Lu Bu looked at Gao Wutong, and then looked at the battlefield on the left and right, "You are too weak... You are so weak as a Wusun man, and you still fight so hard..."
Gao Wutong lowered his head.
"(?·??·?)??" Lu Bu lightly touched Gao Wutong's helmet with Fang Tian's painted halberd, "Do you still have the courage to spare?"
"Ah?" Gao Wutong raised his head again and straightened his helmet with one hand, "Ah, yes! I have it!"
Lu Bu turned the horse's head and ran forward, saying two words without thinking, "Get him another horse! Follow him!"
One of Lu Bu's guards walked up to Gao Wutong while holding the reins of a war horse. He then bent down on the horse and handed the reins to him with a wink. He also patted the helmet that Gao Wutong had just straightened, "Quickly."
Follow me!』
Yun Er shouted and galloped past Gao Wutong, as if he hadn't seen Gao Wutong at all.
Wei Xu also followed with others. When passing by Gao Wutong, he turned to look at Gao Wutong, then nodded with a smile as a greeting, and then rode forward.
The Gobi is vast, smoke and dust rise high, and the three-color flag stretches proudly in it.
Gao Wutong held the knife in one hand and the horse's reins in the other. His helmet was tilted, and his body was covered in blood. He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he laughed, happily and easily. Then Gao Wutong straightened his helmet,
He tightened his armor and silk sash, then got on his horse and ran towards the flying tricolor flag in front of him...
