Seeing the Hu cavalry approaching, Jiang Dongbing's eyes widened, and then they all turned to look at the high platform. After all, only Zhou Yu had experience in fighting cavalry before and had a record of victory, while the others
Most people have no direct experience in fighting cavalry, especially ordinary soldiers.
Cheng Pu and other veteran generals were better off. Pan Zhang, Xu Sheng and others basically failed in cavalry combat and did not understand. When they saw hundreds of Hu cavalry rushing here, they could not tolerate it.
The color on my face keeps changing!
This is true for generals, not to mention small soldiers. The uncontrollable sound of panic rang out from the Jiangdong military formation, and the shock caused by the sound of rolling horse hooves made everyone present feel as if it was difficult to stand still, as if they were falling.
It looks like it will be thrown flying in a moment.
The Jiangdong soldiers who couldn't react in time were inevitably a little confused. Some people saw the big horse rushing towards them and subconsciously wanted to escape. Others yelled for the hedgehogs to gather for defense. They bumped into each other.
The panic in the array increased again.
In the camp of Cao's army, Cao Ren laughed loudly, pointed at the high platform where Zhou Yu was and shouted: "Who has the courage to fight? Can he take the leader of the enemy chieftains in the east of the Yangtze River?!"
Cao Zhen and Han Hao stood up almost at the same time and responded loudly.
Cao Ren nodded and said: "Both of you are warriors! Once the reinforcements arrive, it's time to defeat the enemy! Let's pack up the queue first, and when a certain order is given, they will go out in three groups, take the enemy chief's head, and establish immortality."
Great work!』
Inside Cao Jun's camp, there was a chorus of shouts. The veins on everyone's neck were exposed, and they were gnashing their teeth, as if they were going to rush out and devour Jiangdong's flesh and blood in the next moment.
But Cao Ren knew that even though the remaining soldiers in Cao's camp looked fierce, they were actually very weak inside. After all, after a long battle, they only had this strength left. If they can't fight at the most extreme
If we attack at a critical moment and go out too early, we will be surrounded by Jiangdong soldiers, and we may even lose the last chance of victory!
All we can do now is wait, wait, wait for the final attack window to arrive!
On the high platform on the other side, Zhou Yu looked at the rushing Hu Qi, and suddenly his heart jumped, "They are Wuhuan people..."
The Wuhuan people came for revenge...
Zhou Yu had planned to burn a group of Wuhuan people to death. Although Tadun's death was not unrelated to Cao Cao, the problem was that Zhou Yu was the one who committed the murder, so the Wuhuan people naturally hated Zhou Yu more than Cao Cao.
.
Although Zhou Yu also wanted to say something about retribution, but at this moment he had to deal with these rushing Hu Qi first. Even the movement from Cao Jun's camp, Zhou Yu was not distracted at all and just watched.
Looking to the north, watching the Wuhuan cavalry roaring in, they issued orders repeatedly to deploy their soldiers' formations to meet the enemy.
The order was issued, but because the main attack direction of all Jiangdong Army was towards Cao Jun's camp, now it is necessary to change the direction of the array, and the transfer will be somewhat delayed...
Moreover, the main formation of the army faces the north, which means that Jiangdong soldiers have entered a "last-ditch" situation to a certain extent.
There are certainly some successful cases of last-ditch battles in history, and they have been written about by historians and strategists of all dynasties. However, the intention of these historians and strategists in writing "successful cases" of last-ditch battles is not to say that as long as you see water, you will be able to fight.
Soldiers inspire the BUFF of a last-ditch battle, but rather warn others that they need to pay more attention to the causes and consequences of a successful last-ditch battle.
No matter from which aspect, Jiang Dongbing is far from being in an embarrassing situation where he needs to fight against the odds.
After all, the Dangyang River is not an insurmountable natural chasm. Even if there is no boat ferry and the pontoon is destroyed, Jiangdong soldiers can swim across. In addition, Jiangdong camp has not been damaged. It is not impossible to retreat, but
It's just a question of how much loss there is. So when Jiangdong soldiers change their formations, it just means that Jiangdong soldiers' formation loses flexibility, which is more troublesome. It doesn't have much effect on stimulating the soldiers' fighting spirit.
"Wait! Commander, look!" Cheng Pu suddenly pointed to the smoke and dust rising in the distance, "Then... what is that?!"
Zhou Yu looked at it intently, and then his heart suddenly shrank!
"This...how is this possible?!"
In the distance, among the dust raised by the Wuhuan cavalry, there was a vague flag raised high, and that flag was obviously different from the Han military flag used by Cao Jun. It was a tricolor flag!
The tricolor flag of the Han hussar!
After a while, the generals and commanders on and off the Jiangdong stage also saw this situation, and couldn't help but turn pale and look at each other in shock.
Is this true or false?
If these are really hussars and horses, it means that Zhou Yu's previous judgment of Cao Jun may have been biased. Once Cao Jun really joins forces with hussars, it will be no different for Jiangdong to try to capture the northern part of Jingzhou.
As good as ascending to the sky! It’s hard to say that even Jingnan can’t maintain it!
Maybe the reason why the three-color flag was hidden before was because Fei Qian and Cao Cao had not yet reached an agreement on conditions? Was it because they deliberately lured Jiangdong forward until he was in the current predicament?!
Pan Zhang narrowed his eyes and kept moving his eyes from side to side. Compared to ordinary generals, he had to think more about his positioning. Well, it can't be said that only Pan Zhang was in Jiangdong.
Most of the generals are faced with this problem, it just depends on how to choose.
Pan Zhang is a general directly promoted by Sun Quan, so his interests are basically directly linked to Sun Quan. The reason why Pan Zhang will obey Zhou Yu's assignments and arrangements now is just because Zhou Yu's previous strategy was also for the benefit of Sun Quan.
Try hard, but what if Zhou Yu makes a mistake in judgment, which may lead to heavy losses?
So if it's just in case, should you...
In the battlefield, there are times when you can't think too much. If you think too much, your troops will naturally slow down. Pan Zhang's troops naturally shrank even more, and some even got closer to the Dangyang River, as if preparing.
The next moment I had to grab the pontoon and turn around and walk away.
"Meet the enemy! Turn to face the enemy!" On the high platform above Jiangdong's military formation, the flags were still swaying vigorously, expressing Zhou Yu's tenacious and unyielding fighting spirit. However, this fighting spirit was not effectively conveyed. Pan Zhang-like people appeared on the battlefield.
There are not a few people who are arrogant, so the overall morale of Jiangdong soldiers, before the new troops appear, is like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun, melting rapidly, and soon they can no longer even hold on...
Especially after seeing the "Hussars and Cavalry" flying the tricolor flag.
At any time in the history of cold weapon warfare, when well-equipped cavalry with heavy armor for both men and horses appears on the battlefield, it will give the opponent a huge shock and threat.
When Jiang Dongbing saw the uniformed cavalry advancing neatly under the three-color flag, rolling forward like an iron wall, he felt like he was about to be beaten flat... no, he was about to be squeezed.
Like beans and rapeseeds, I couldn't help but howl in fear!
The barbarian cavalry roared and bared their teeth and claws to attack on both wings, but not many people paid attention to these barbarians now, because the armored cavalry coming from the north and slowly accelerating was almost like a magnet, firmly attracted
All eyes!
Each of the armored cavalrymen has put down their visors, and there seem to be some ferocious patterns on the visors. This is no different from the rumored hussars, and it seems to further prove that this is a hussars.
A cavalry in the army! These cavalry uniforms have bright armor, and there are some decorative red tassels on their saddles. They are rippling slightly in the air with the ups and downs of their horses, like neat steel waves, heading straight towards Jiangdong soldiers.
The array is coming!
In the eyes of Jiangdong's generals and soldiers, with such surging power of cavalry, who else could it be besides the Han hussars?
This is real!
It's really a horse!
In General Jiangdong's mind, an idea suddenly came to mind. These armored cavalry were obviously very expensive at first glance. However, in order to support Cao's army, the Han hussar could casually take out such a frightening force.
The armored cavalry is coming...
So if the Han hussar Fei Qian uses all his strength, how many soldiers and horses will there be? How many armored cavalry will there be?!
If there had not been a battle with Cao Jun's camp, Jiangdong soldiers might have been able to fight with the cavalry attacking from the north with their courage and bloodshed. But now, although Jiangdong soldiers have almost turned Cao Jun's camp into a refugee camp, the same is true for Cao Jun's camp.
Jiangdong's own soldiers have suffered a lot of wear and tear. Jiangdong's soldiers are also mortal bodies, and it is inevitable that their muscles and bones will be exhausted. Now they are being attacked by cavalry, their morale is shaken, and some people are even timid. When they see the cavalry roaring in, their heads are spinning.
A natural reaction is to hide and forget all training and orders!
In the blink of an eye, the armored cavalry crashed into the array of Jiangdong soldiers. Huge shouts and screams erupted at this moment, soaring into the sky!
Although Jiangdong's soldiers formed an array, it was unfortunately not thick. After all, Jiangdong never expected that there would be a large-scale cavalry in the north. Such a defensive array would be difficult to fight against the Hu cavalry, let alone the straight-faced cavalry.
The cavalry!
Scattered arrows struck and landed on the cavalry's armor. Most of them clattered and fell. A few of them were rooted in the thick armor, but they still could not stop their charging steps.
.The so-called intensive shooting of Jiangdong archers is like shooting a lonely person, which is useless and has no effect.
It seemed that just for an instant, the Jiangdongbei defense line, which was originally lined up in a line, looked like a shoddy white iron chassis. It looked okay, but it was bent and deformed by a slight touch, even in the middle and low-rise buildings.
The officers and generals roared loudly, but there was nothing they could do to maintain the array.
Especially on the line where the armored cavalry attacked, no one knew how many Jiangdong soldiers were stabbed and hacked to death, no one knew how many bodies were trampled under the horses' hooves, and no one knew how many lives disappeared in this instant!
Under the protection of thick armor, ordinary swords and guns cannot break through the defense at all. Therefore, even if some Jiangdong soldiers who are still brave enough attack the armored cavalry, they often only bring out some sparks, and at most one or two pieces are blown away.
The armor pieces are of no use at all! Unstoppable!
In the blink of an eye, countless Jiangdong soldiers were knocked down by the armored cavalry, and then trampled under the hooves of the horses. The weight of the war horses, cavalry, and armor was catching up with the small vehicles of later generations, and they collided with the flesh at a speed of more than 40 miles.
If it is bumped and trampled on the arms, legs and feet, the hands and feet will be broken immediately. If it is trampled on the chest and abdomen, you will just hear a clicking sound, the sternum and ribs will all collapse, and the internal organs will be crushed to pieces!
During the collision, some mounted cavalry fell from their horses, but it was obvious that more casualties were caused by Jiangdong soldiers. These mounted cavalry charged forward, and some of the mounted cavalry had already thrown away their spears and drawn their knives, and they were hacking away in a shameless manner.
Horsepower, wherever the long knife passes, blood suddenly spurts out! Stamped and collided, it is a bloody road to hell!
Jiangdong soldiers screamed and shouted, becoming more and more frightened, so that some people began to stumble and squeeze back, trampling their own queues into more chaos. So in just a short time of about a stick of incense, Jiangdong to the north
The guard array of soldiers was broken through by these armored cavalry!
After breaking through the guard array, the originally thick array of armored cavalry was slightly deformed and loose. However, in the eyes of other Jiangdong soldiers, these armored cavalry were still extremely terrifying, especially after those heavy armors were stained with flesh and blood.
The white smoke rising from Kazuto's breath behind the ferocious mask makes people feel that these guys are like ferocious beasts! Ferocious beasts that devour flesh and blood!
Before these Jiangdong soldiers could recover from their fear, the Jiangdong soldiers' guard array was broken through, and in a blink of an eye they were rushed in by the barbarian cavalry that followed. The chaos suddenly became more and more chaotic, and they were crowded into a ball, and in the blink of an eye they were crying for their fathers and mothers.
were scattered in all directions.
The arrows fired by the archers at the back of the guard array at the armored cavalry only made a slight sound when they hit the heavy armor, without much lethality. Then they saw the armored cavalry getting closer and closer, and finally
They howled out one after another, dropped their bows and arrows in fear and ran away!
The armor of each cavalryman was stained with blood and scattered pieces of meat, like small pieces of meat shaved off a big bone stick, with various tendons and cartilage hanging on the heavy weight.
The outside of A makes people feel scared when they look at it...
The armored cavalry looks fierce on the outside, but in fact, after running a long way to come for reinforcements and fiercely charging into battle, both the riders and the horses are breathing heavily at this moment.
Therefore, when the armored cavalry hit Zhou Yu's Chinese army array head-on, the impact was not very strong. After the initial shock, the soldiers of Jiangdong's Chinese army were also elite after all, and most of them were battle-hardened.
The veterans were not so easy to collapse. Under Zhou Yu's order, they worked hard to surround them from all directions, seeming to use their lives and flesh to defeat these armored cavalry and completely drown them!
"Can't stop! Forward, forward!" Cao Xiu vigorously kicked the horse's belly under his visor, urging the horse forward. The horse under his crotch was also a good horse, even though it was already a little exhausted,
But still pushing forward with all his strength!
Behind Cao Xiu, Cao Jun's disguised hussars and cavalry also knew that if they were really surrounded, they would lose their biggest advantage, so they followed Cao Xiu with all their strength and rushed to the high platform amidst the surging crowd...
In fact, Cao Xiu imitated the hussar cavalry, but it was more of an appearance, and he did not learn the essence at all. Although the cavalry charging into the formation is extremely powerful, it will be extremely miserable once the charging cavalry fails.
It is said that after the war horse loses speed and is pulled off the horse by the enemy soldiers, it may not be able to climb up even if it wants to! Even if it is not trampled to death, even a small short blade can make it fall
life!
Fortunately, Cao Jun, Cao Xiu and others were inexperienced, and Jiangdong soldiers had no experience in dealing with cavalry. The two sides were like boys and girls without any pre-marriage guidance who were suddenly thrust into the bridal chamber for actual combat, in the darkness
I fumbled around and inserted it, each with his own pain. The feeling was always somewhat different from what I originally imagined, but I couldn't tell what was wrong...
At this moment, a huge shout of killing suddenly came from the side of Cao Jun's camp, and all the Cao Jun soldiers in Cao Jun's camp were killed!
Jiang Dongbing was instantly flanked by two sides!
Zhou Yu's heart suddenly moved. The soldiers in Cao Cao's camp actually rushed out. Seeing such momentum, the whole army was dispatched without reservation! Could it be that this was Cao Cao's plan?
Could it be that Cao Fei and Cao Fei really cooperate so closely?
So in this case, Cao Cao's army may be behind! After all, there is no army behind to support them. How can these soldiers of Cao Cao's camp who are on the verge of collapse dare to charge into the formation without reservation? In this way, Cao Cao just wants to lure them all first
River, and then when the strength of his soldiers weakens, he will entangle his own men and horses by the river, and then add a large army to annihilate them in one fell swoop!
What a vicious strategy!
What a ruthless strategy!
If this is really the case, then so far away...
Zhou Yu's face was livid, and he raised his head and looked into the distance. The distance was filled with smoke and dust, and the battlefield to the north was very chaotic. It was difficult to have a clear vision and discern more effective information for a while.
"Captain!" Cheng Pu stood on one side, frowning, staring at the armored cavalry marching hard in the center, "Let me go down and take care of these guys!"
Although the opponent was protected by heavy armor, Cheng Pu also had experience fighting with Sun Jian and the Xiliang cavalry back then, and he knew some tactics on how to deal with the cavalry. Moreover, according to Cheng Pu's observation, the martial arts of these armored cavalry were basically basic.
In general, they are all mediocre, and even the commander among them is mediocre. If he can take advantage of the chaos and hide in the battle line, and suddenly apply a heavy weapon, it is impossible to say that he can be killed in one strike!
Although Cheng Pu has never fought with armored cavalry before, according to his experience in fighting with heavy infantry, ordinary swords, guns, swords and halberds are difficult to effectively kill heavy armored infantry. However, blunt blows with heavy hammers and maces can.
It can directly hit the body through the armor. If it hits a vital part, it can also have the same one-hit killing effect as a sword or gun against light armor.
Zhou Yu pondered.
Although Cheng Pu seemed to say it very easily, Zhou Yu knew that in a real battle, life and death would be decided in an instant. If the cavalry were so easy to deal with, his own military formation would not be oppressed to the current situation.
Zhou Yu looked into the distance, pointed at the smoke and dust rising in the distance, and said, "If there are only cavalry at the moment, why does the smoke and dust linger so long?"
Cheng Pu was stunned for a moment and said, "Could it be that there are infantry from Cao's army behind us?!"
Zhou Yu nodded slowly and said: "I can bet...but Lord Jiangdong Jiye...can't bet...send the order to withdraw the troops..."
"Captain!" Cheng Pu shouted anxiously from the side. If we withdraw our troops now, we will definitely suffer serious damage...
Zhou Yu touched a letter in his arms. It was a piece of intelligence from the west of Jingzhou. He once again confirmed his thoughts and sighed longly: "Retreat the troops!"
Whatever, whatever!
It's not that I can't do it, but it's just that the weather doesn't allow Jiangdong to do it, so what can I do?
