Chapter 2104 There are always people who can’t help but be tempted
"Stop! Stop them!"
The sky started to get brighter.
When Cao Jun discovered that the target of Cao Jun, who had been careful and cautious last night, was only a small group of less than a thousand cavalry, he suddenly became bold and angry. It was like some apes who were unaware of the situation.
At that time, I faced a rich man in Chinese tunic suit and had to obey him for a long time. I finally found out that this guy was just a chef. My anger was immediately uncontrollable.
The war drums roared, and Cao Jun's camp suddenly opened. Cao Jun's soldiers were like big sesame dumplings that had been punctured, and black flowing out. Cao Xiu was the first to leap out of the camp, leading the cavalry toward Xu Yu while roaring.
Waiting for others to surround them.
With anger and hatred, Cao Xiu spurred his war horse and rushed towards Xu Yu without hesitation. Despicable villain! If you have the guts, just fight to the death in an upright manner! What kind of hero is he who can only use some dirty methods?
?!
If he was a general under the command of Qiusi, Cao Xiu would still be a little wary. However, facing Xu Yu, Cao Xiu had no fear, and even had some contempt. I have people, horses, and thick armor. I will crush you!
The armored war horses bit the iron bits and salivated at the mouth, running hard, their four hooves trampling on the ground like war drums, and raining down like wild beasts.
"Hey!" Xu Yu looked at Cao Xiu, who was approaching in a menacing manner, "You're really trying to get this out of your hurry...see if I don't seduce you, you're such a bastard!"
What humans fear most is the unknown.
For Jiangdong soldiers, Cao Xiu's uniformed cavalry are undoubtedly representatives of terror. But for Xu Yu, and even for most hussars, what is so strange about these uniformed cavalry? They still look a little strange.
Like, but once you start running, your secret will be exposed.
The armored cavalry under the Hussar were brought out by the group of people headed by Gan Feng, and with the blessing of General Fei Qian of the Hussar, let alone one thing, the armored cavalry of the Hussar were in the hands of the Hussar.
All they got were horseshoes!
And what are the armored cavalry led by Cao Xiu carrying?
Basically they are all spears, and some people even use halberds...
Of course, this is not due to Cao Xiu, but is influenced by the history of the Han Dynasty.
Speaking of which, General Fei Qian of the Hussars was not the first to create the armored cavalry of the Han Dynasty.
In other civilizations in the classical era, armored cavalry, the prototype of heavy armored cavalry, was probably regarded as the "companion cavalry" of Alexander the Great and his successors in their expeditions. These guys can be said to be the earliest impact heavy cavalry in the world.
With the heavy lances three to four meters long in their hands, they left a profound lesson to the Persians and Scythians who also had heavy cavalry traditions.
Of course, at that time, there were no saddles, not even war horse vests. At most, there were some bronze horse masks or horse neck protectors. The cavalry did not have shields, but even so, these junior heavy armored cavalry
, still has a profound impact on the Middle East, Central Asia, and even ancient India.
Especially the Kushan Empire. After entering the second century, the Han Dynasty due to the Silk Road naturally came into contact with these countries, as well as their military technologies such as shaped cavalry and heavy lances. It was only because of the Han Dynasty and Parthia.
, Sarmatia, Kushan and other countries that have a large number of specific cavalry are not the same.
Because it troubled the Han Dynasty, the most powerful enemy at that time was the Hun cavalry on the grassland who "suddenly swarmed like ants". Although there were some well-equipped troops among the Hun cavalry, most of the Hun cavalry were relatively rudimentary, so
For the Han Dynasty, there was almost no need for the armor-breaking ability of heavy cavalry. What was more important was the ability to maneuver and kill. Therefore, although the Han Dynasty knew about such military technology for a long time,
But it has never been used.
This is why the cavalry of the Han Dynasty used more simple and sturdy ring-headed knives, as well as halberds that can stab, chop, peck, and hook, instead of heavy spears and horse spears.
And there is another reason, the horse is more expensive...
As the elite cavalry under Dong Zhuo, its main role was not to directly face frontline battles on the battlefield, but to have a suppressive and destructive effect on other cavalry generals and troops, and to have enough deterrence, so from beginning to end
Arming and sophisticated horse and horse configuration have become a necessity.
As a result, Fei Qian, the general of the hussars who likes equipment, took a look and started to do it without saying a word. As a result, the armored cavalry under the hussars are really armed to the teeth from beginning to end. I am used to seeing the equipment of the hussars.
Now Xu Yu and others who were pretending to be cavalry looked at Cao Xiu's cavalry, and they felt that these guys were trying to imitate others.
Only a fool would confront the armored cavalry head-on...
Even incomplete armored cavalry are equipped with heavy armor.
Xu Yu laughed secretly and whistled, telling his men to take action.
"Come on! Yo ho ho ho..."
Xu Yu let out a strange scream, then pulled out a strange-shaped rope from behind and waved it in the air. This kind of rope has some weights at both ends of the rope, and then throws it out using a special technique.
It is used to tie up some fleeing sheep, and of course it can also be used to tie up people.
Cao Jun's cavalry, led by Cao Xiu, saw Xu Yu's group of men and horses did not run away but came up to them. They shouted excitedly, then urged the horses under their crotches more and more, and launched a charge.
Xu Yu waved his arms and threw the rope without any special aim. Then he turned the horse's head without looking and stabbed diagonally to avoid the frontal charge of Cao's cavalry.
After Xu Yu finished throwing and turned the horse's head, the hussars behind him made almost the same action. Immediately afterwards, countless ropes flew through the air, and then rushed towards the horse like a dark cloud.
Cao Xiu dressed in cavalry and surrounded him!
Horse hooves are flying and mud is flying!
The rope flying around hit the horse's leg, and then due to inertia, the weights of the rope flew around each other almost instantly, and then tied the horse's legs together!
The galloping armored cavalry, including men and horses, was a huge beast, but with such a small rope, it easily knocked down all of them, including men and horses...
Xu Yu laughed loudly: "A bunch of harpies!"
"Happy!"
"Melon Pine!"
The hussars roared and laughed wantonly. The mocking and sarcastic voice could be clearly heard even through the roar of the horses' hooves.
Is this how the armored cavalry is used? There is no light cavalry to clamp down, no infantry formation to press, and no other arms to cooperate. The simple armored cavalry is just a bratty kid with a sharp knife who keeps shouting. It seems very
It's scary and dangerous, but as long as you find the right opportunity to give it a kick, the world will suddenly become quiet.
Although the hit rate of the thrown ropes is not very high, only one or two of the ten ropes were successfully thrown into the horse's legs, but this was enough. When these ropes fell, the equipment that was tripped and fell
The cavalrymen were like overturned cars. They fell to the ground amid the roar, and some even rolled over on their heads and feet into the air before falling heavily!
The following armored cavalry quickly tried to hold back their horses, but before they had time, some of them stumbled to the ground again, splashing up a lot of smoke, dirt, and flesh!
If you haven't engaged in battle, you will suffer first!
At this moment, Cao Xiu's eyes turned red!
He knew how much Cao Cao invested and what he sacrificed for these armored cavalry!
If he fell in a frontal fight, then Cao Xiu might not have felt such a strong sense of shame, nor would he have been so angry. After all, the collision of blood and iron is the hymn of a warrior, even if he died
I would calmly swallow my last breath, but now, what is it?!
The armored cavalryman who was worth millions of dollars was tripped and defeated by a worthless rope?! Is the world crazy, or am I crazy?!
Seeing Xu Yu and other hussars lightly drawing an arc in front of them, as if dancing a waltz to avoid the cavalry, and then heading towards Cao Jun's infantry, Cao Xiu pulled his neck, with blue veins exposed.
Shouting: "Stop him!"
Cao Jun's infantry were actually dumbfounded at this moment...
When Cao Xiu roared and charged with the armored cavalry, Cao Jun's infantry cheered and cheered. Especially when the two sides' horses hooves rolled and approached each other, Cao Jun's infantry almost had their hearts in their throats. They were witnessing a battle.
The collision between flesh and flesh, the tumbling drama between body fluids is about to take place, and the result is...
this!
What does this, this, this... count?
Especially when they heard Cao Xiu tearing his neck and shouting to stop these hussars, Cao's infantrymen couldn't help but complain in their hearts. Damn it, you can't even stop them, so why should we stop them?
How to stop it, use an egg to stop it?
Obviously, Xu Yu didn't want to see the eggs of Cao's infantry, so he took out his short spear. The standard equipment of the hussars, throwing spears. This is what Fei Qian instilled in his cavalry many times, so that
A fighting method that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, as long as the enemy can be defeated with weapons from a distance, do not engage in hand-to-hand combat.
Although in the era of the Han Dynasty, a weapon may be worth more than a human life, the hussar general Fei Qian still adheres to the concept of prioritizing human life over weapons.
And this concept, it seems now, is undoubtedly correct. When the short spear whizzed down, it immediately set off a rain of blood in the array of Cao Jun's infantry. The strength of the impact, combined with the sharp short spear, easily tore Cao Jun apart.
The bodies of the infantry, and even some of them peeping out from their bodies, wrapped these poor guys together like coriander wrapped in bean curds, two or three in front and back.
Even Cao Jun's infantry who were not injured by short spears were blocked, suppressed, and knocked down by their injured comrades. Other Cao Jun's infantry who were lucky enough to be uninjured lost their original tight formation and fell into twos and threes.
They were out of formation, and when they saw the hooves of the hussars approaching, they rolled outwards with a wild scream.
The strong and powerful war horse roared and passed over the Cao Jun infantry who rolled and fell to the ground. Xu Yu effortlessly swung the sword that he stretched out to one side, and the sharp blade cut open the side of the Cao Jun infantry who had no time to dodge.
neck.
Cao Jun's infantry released the weapons in their hands, desperately covering their bleeding necks, and then fell to the sky. Above their heads was the Cao Jun battle flag floating down...
The hussars are well-equipped and can be used as soldiers and armors. This is no joke.
On the battlefield, the sword made by Baidu Steel was most suitable for fighting on the battlefield. Wherever it went, countless spears and spears were broken. Even the leather armor and shields of Cao's infantry fell apart under the blade of the sword, leaving only the iron armor.
It can still withstand support to some extent, but it is common to see flames flying and armor pieces falling apart.
The infantry of Cao's army facing Xu Yu immediately collapsed in formation, and their broken limbs were flying all over the sky!
The soldiers of Cao's army who blocked the route of Xu Yu and others did not expect that the charge of the hussars would be so sharp, especially the Jingzhou soldiers who surrendered to Cao's army. Their hands and feet were cold and their hearts were trembling at this tragic situation.
The room was like a mud-walled house washed away by floods. It collapsed in the blink of an eye. The dead ones were just that, but the ones who didn't die were wailing under the ferocious hooves of the horses! Under the flying iron hooves, the originally good person was
The array turned into a Shura field in an instant!
These newly transferred soldiers of Cao's army couldn't help but start to panic, dodging this group of ferocious men left and right, and even broke away from the queue and started to run for their lives.
"Those who run away from battle! Kill them!"
Cao Ren unceremoniously issued the order to supervise the battle, and caught the soldiers who had fled back before the formation, cut off their heads, and stabbed them bloody in front, which immediately shocked the scene.
"Tsk, tsk..." Xu Yu looked at Cao Ren's Chinese Army position not far away, Cao Ren with a red tassel on top of the hill, and the flying Chinese Army flag, and couldn't help but lick his lips
.
"Colonel Captain!"
"Captain, it's time to go!" the guard behind Xu Yu urged.
Xu Yu grinned and showed his white teeth, "Wait a minute, do it again! Come with me!"
In the end, Xu Yu couldn't resist Cao Ren's temptation. Before the speed of his horse slowed down, he once again circled and rushed towards the hill. If Cao Jun was so cowardly, the head of Cao Jun's general,
Isn't it easy to catch it?
"Hmph! How brave!" Cao Ren saw Xu Yu turning around and rushing over, sneered, and then stretched out his hand towards the guard on the side, "Get the bow!"
The longbow used by Cao Ren was certainly not an ordinary item. Underneath the beautiful carved and painted appearance, there was a murderous intention hidden.
Cao Ren took the bow in his hand, then attached the wolf fang arrow, and aimed at Xu Yu through the gap in the human wall!
Xu Yu, who was running forward, took out a short spear again, and was about to follow the same pattern and use the short spear to break the formation. Just when he was about to throw it out, an arrow suddenly came from high above!
Xu Yu focused his attention on the Cao Jun infantry array in front, and was not prepared for Cao Ren's hidden arrow! The arrow accurately hit Xu Yu's shoulder, colliding with the entire piece of armor on Xu Yu's shoulder and causing a risk.
Shoot out a spark, then throw it diagonally and it will fall!
Before Xu Yu could react, another feather arrow flew quietly and low, piercing the battle skirt under Xu Yu's crotch and biting his thigh heavily!
These two arrows were shot out almost at the same time, and they bit Xu Yu at almost the same time. Judging from the intention of the attack, one was to shoot a man and the other a horse!
It's just that Xu Yusheng took both arrows...
Xu Yu gritted his teeth and shouted. Taking advantage of the momentum of his throwing, he changed the direction of the throwing and threw the short spear towards Cao Ren on the small mound!
Although the short spear contained Xu Yu's anger, it was still far away. Seeing this, Cao Ren shrank into the guard's shield and easily dodged it. The short spear struck the shield with a loud sound, and the tail of the spear swung wildly.
But it can no longer cause any harm.
Cao Ren turned sideways slightly, glanced at You Zi's swinging short spear, then sneered and pointed at Xu Yu: "Come here! Surround and kill this beast! Whoever takes its head will be rewarded with ten thousand gold!"
"Hoo! Drink!"
In Cao Ren's main formation, the vast majority of Cao soldiers are Qingzhou soldiers or Yanzhou veterans. Compared with those Jingzhou soldiers who have transferred to another profession, these soldiers have better fighting skills and desire to fight.
Above, they were three points stronger. Facing the short spears thrown by Xu Yu and others, they were not as helpless as the previous Jingzhou Cao soldiers.
Although short spears have extremely strong destructive power and lethality, they are somewhat inadequate in front of shields. Many short spears can only stay on the shield unwillingly, looking at the flesh and blood so close that they are trembling with hunger but unable to do anything.
Of course, on the other hand, Cao's soldiers who can effectively prevent short spear throwing and holding large shields are not as lethal to cavalry as spearmen. When faced with sword and shield men, cavalry often dare to attack unscrupulously, but for Lin Li
The spear formation is somewhat scary.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Yu and others crashed into Cao Jun's array. But this time, the feeling of hot knife cutting oil disappeared, and it was like they were stuck in mud. Although they could still move, the soles of their feet were
More and more yellow mud adhered to it, and in the end it was even two or three times bigger than my own shoes. It was easy to put it down with each foot, but it was extremely difficult to pull it up again...
Cao Ren slowly took out another arrow and aimed at Xu Yu, who was fighting in the formation.
"Retreat! Retreat!"
Xu Yu, who felt like he was being targeted by a poisonous snake, saw that the momentum was not going well. He screamed in pain and ordered to retreat, while waving his sword to cut and block more and more Cao Jun's swords and guns.
He neighed, then kicked with his front legs, then kicked with his hind legs, finally creating a little gap, and Xu Yu just hit the horse and ran away!
"Whoosh!" Cao Ren on the small mound fired his bow again, and the arrow pierced Xu Yu's back shoulder with a pop like a bloodthirsty leech, almost knocking Xu Yu off his horse!
Xu Yu let out a scream and quickly hugged the horse's neck. Then, under the protection of the other cavalry, he bypassed the regrouping force and pounced on Cao Xiu again with great force, and fled to the north...
It's not that Cao Xiu and others didn't want to pursue them. However, in order to fight against Xu Yu and others, their troops and horses all wore heavy armor. Now, although they wanted to pursue them, the power consumption was already huge. In the end, they could only kill a few of them.
The sporadic hussars in the back were killed, and the bad mood was relieved a little.
"Send the order! Ming Jin withdraws the troops!" Xiahou Dun, who was supervising the battle at the rear, issued the order. He saw that the fire in Fancheng was getting bigger and bigger. If he didn't deal with it, I am afraid that even if Xu Yu's defeated troops finally caught up with him, Fancheng would be burned to the ground.
What meaning does a burned city have to Cao Cao's army?
"Come here! Enter the city quickly! Organize the people and collect water to put out the fire!"
