The attack by the Hu woman was not successful because Xiahou Zijiang was not the only one in the tent, and the candlestick could indeed be used as a strike weapon, but it had to be struck in the right place, like in TV movies, no matter what position it was in.
The possibility of knocking the opponent unconscious and to death with a casual knock is not very high.
In addition, Hu Nu herself was not an assassin, so no one paid attention to her when she was on the ground, but when she rushed out, she immediately attracted the attention of Xiahou Zijiang's guards.
Xiahou Zijiang's guards were warning and blocking at the same time, making it impossible for Hu Nu to get close to Xiahou Zijiang. Naturally, they were unable to attack Xiahou Zijiang with the candlestick. In the end, they could only throw the candlestick out and hit Xiahou Zijiang on the forehead.
It's not very harmful, but it's extremely insulting.
"Kill her! Kill them all! Kill them!"
, it looks quite miserable.
Xiahou Zijiang's guards immediately slashed with their knives and hacked all the three bearded women in the tent to death. But Xiahou Zijiang still couldn't understand his hatred. In his mind, women were just pets, tools, and slaves. Don't worry about it.
He had so much fun playing poker with the Hu girls before, but now these Hu girls dared to hurt him!
This almost made Xiahou Zijiang so furious that he lost his mind. Seeing Hu Nu's death, he didn't understand his hatred. He even drew a knife and slashed at her until he cut off Hu Nu's head, and then kicked him away before he finally gasped and calmed down a little.
Xiahou Zijiang came down. The guard Xiahou Zijiang who was standing aside could only watch helplessly. He almost didn't dare to go up to persuade him, and he knew that it was useless to persuade him. It was not until Xiahou Zijiang finally stopped to protect Xiahou Zijiang that he came down.
Jiang came out of the tent.
But in this case, the delay will be longer...
Without a leader, the Hu cavalry on Cao's side were basically useless.
Just like what Xiahou Zijiang said before, when they recruited Hu soldiers and horses, there was actually no loyalty or disloyalty, it was just a simple employment, just like Huchuquan in the early days accepted various employments from the Han Dynasty, and he listened to whoever paid him.
Whose, maybe the previous stage was to fight local rebellion, and the next stage he became a bodyguard.
Under such circumstances, these barbarian soldiers were actually very dependent on the command of the Han people. They would move when there was an order, but would not even bother to move if there was no order. They even had to bargain when the order was given. In addition, these barbarians
The soldiers were not completely devoid of concepts of good and evil. Although they accepted Cao Jun's employment, they actually did not agree with Xiahou Zijiang's behavior of killing and humiliating nomadic tribesmen just to satisfy his personal desires.
As Xiahou Zijiang was still inside the tent and couldn't get out, naturally these Hu soldiers and horses were not working so hard, especially after seeing the power of these Han soldiers under Shi Bazhi, they just shouted and didn't come near, watching.
The fight was lively, running back and forth, in fact it was like the enemy was advancing and we were retreating, wherever Shi Bazhi pointed, he ran away...
The Hu people did not work hard, and Cao Jun's Han cavalry was delayed for too long because Xiahou Zijiang was in the tent, and did not form an effective defense array. When Xiahou Zijiang came out, what he faced was an army that was almost as scattered as sand.
Status. If Xiahou Zijiang was a powerful general, he would not be able to turn the tide, but Xiahou Zijiang was not. Therefore, after seeing this situation, even though the number of people was obviously larger than that of Shi Bazhi, he could not
Still, he gave the order to retreat decisively without hesitation.
As a result, after Xiahou Zijiang gave the order, the battle ended in just a quarter and a half.
Xiahou Zijiang couldn't care less about his ambitions at this moment. All the excitement turned into uneasiness and fear at this moment. He didn't know where Shi Bazhi came from, let alone why the hussars were here.
The original thoughts that the hussars were no big deal seemed to flow out with the blood on his forehead and sink into the yellow sand.
Shi Bazhi couldn't believe it when he saw this. Because even though Shi Bazhi knew that the soldiers he led were the cavalry directly under Zhang He, they were naturally elite, but no matter how brave and skilled they were, they still faced several times the number of enemies.
If the enemy army resisted vigorously, this surprise attack would have a slight chance of victory. Shi Bazhi had no idea at first.
Logically speaking, an elite cavalry can be counted as five to ten steps per ride, but when facing the same cavalry, it can only be counted as three to five cavalry. After all, if cavalry can fight against infantry, if they can use
Mobility mobilizes the infantry and then tears the formation apart. Even if the infantry array is ten times or more, it is not enough for the cavalry to attack and trample. But the cavalry is different. If the opponent's cavalry cannot win, they can run away.
In a short period of time, the speed of the cavalry on both sides is almost the same, so it is basically impossible to create a large-scale trampling effect.
Therefore, when cavalry versus infantry, if the infantry array collapses, the infantry will often suffer heavy casualties. However, when cavalry versus cavalry, the cavalry array collapses, the casualties may not be as many as the infantry.
Just like now, Xiahou Zijiang led people to escape, but in fact, in the whole process, the number of casualties was not very many.
Shi Bazhi almost subconsciously wanted to pursue and kill him, but Zhang He's subordinates around him persuaded him to stop him, "The general has an order! Be careful of ambush and do not pursue closely!"
Unlike Xiahou Zijiang, although Shi Bazhi felt unwilling, he would still obey Zhang He's orders, so Shi Bazhi and others gathered up the queue, and then followed Xiahou Zijiang leisurely, without any
So he was wasting his horsepower and killing like crazy.
What's interesting is that the ambush that Zhang He "expected" actually "appeared"!
Xiahou Shang came with a large army and met Xiahou Zijiang who was retreating!
After all, in the desert, the place where smoke and dust rise is the best guidepost.
When Xiahou Zijiang saw Xiahou Shang, he shouted without hesitation: "Brother, come and save me!"
The corners of Xiahou Shang's eyes twitched, and he cursed in his heart, aren't you a capable guy? Why is your face covered with blood now, and you are screaming like your tail has been stepped on? But the problem is that Xiahou Shang really can't say that he will not save him, but he can't help him.
Able to curse secretly in his mind and then give orders to respond.
When Shi Bazhi saw Xia Houshang and others arriving, he couldn't help reining in his horses, "The general is indeed a master of calculation! Cao Cao's thieves have set up an ambush!"
Because Zhang He had told them to be careful before, Shi Bazhi and others were also mentally prepared. When they saw this, they immediately turned around and ran back.
Xiahou Zijiang was such a dog-tempered man. When he saw many of his family members, he immediately became more aggressive and rushed to Xiahou Shang's side. He howled and screamed, "Follow me! How dare you chase me! You are really brave of a leopard."
!Chase! Kill them all!』
When Xiahou Shang saw Shi Bazhi and others, they turned around and ran away. There were not many of them, so he couldn't help but have the desire to chase and kill him. Although he was too lazy to pay any attention to Xiahou Zijiang, if the hussars and horses in front of him could do anything,
Capturing some heads is more or less meritorious!
I'm still a little hesitant to have a head-on confrontation, but to chase down the fleeing soldiers, wouldn't it be enough to have legs?
But Xia Houshang was chasing after him, and something felt wrong. Why weren't these escaping hussars tired? Why did the horses of these people look like they hadn't expended much energy, yet they were still running so energetically?
After chasing for a while, they still couldn't close the distance, but Cao Jun's cavalry in front suddenly burst out with a huge noise. Xiahou Shang also raised his head and forgot, but he couldn't help being stunned, and his face turned pale.
one slice!
On the small earth bag on the side, I don't know when a big flag was erected, with a big character fluttering in the wind!
"open"!
Could it be Zhang He?!
Xia Houshang's heart suddenly jumped wildly, and then he hurriedly issued an order, "The whole army forms an array!"
Running any further would be equivalent to giving up your ribs and butt to the hussar that suddenly appeared from the side. Or to be more strict, it was your original colleague...
Seeing Zhang He again, Xiahou Shang's heart felt as if a stick had been stabbed directly into the pit of his heart, and then stirred up. The fragmented and messy memory residue suddenly surged up, making his eyes somewhat cloudy and bloodshot.
"Traitor! Damn, shameless traitor!"
Later generations often talk about how things get better after a breakup, or how they are happy to see others succeed at class reunions, but in fact these are all on the surface, or in movies and TV shows, and
In life, most people have ordinary mentality and normal thinking...
Xia Houshang looked up slightly and saw Zhang He and others on the small slope. Their armor and stomach were excellent, even to an outrageous level. He couldn't help but feel a bit of sourness in his heart. Not to mention Zhang He's exquisite armor.
Well, even the escorting cavalry beside Zhang He are all wearing full-body scale armor that only generals can afford. In addition, they are wearing pockets and some red tassels as decorations on the top. As for the neck protection,
There are a lot of shawls, skirts and skirts hanging down to the knees, and even the sides of the leather boots seem to be inlaid with several pieces of iron, it's like having bold words written on their faces and worn on their bodies!
Looking at the war horses Zhang He and others are riding, they are not only tall, but also wearing horse clothes. There are also leather armors in the middle of the horse's face and on its neck!
Looking at the other party, and then at himself, Xia Houshang seemed to feel the whole world's malice toward him...
Why?
Back then, you, a man named Zhang, had to bow before me and obey my orders!
And now...
For a moment, Xia Houshang felt that he had mixed emotions and a myriad of thoughts.
Xia Houshang remained silent. Some of the Cao soldiers around him knew Zhang He, and some didn't. But whether they knew him or not, he could still be seen by his clothes. I originally thought that my family was already well-equipped, but after a comparison like this,
, I suddenly felt that my breathing voice was three times quieter!
Cao Jun's cavalry is actually more of a light cavalry type. Most of them only have two armors. The military academy is better, and they can probably be assigned sleeve armor. Only those at the higher general level can have full body armor. Of course, Cao Jun's cavalry has such equipment.
The gap is due to many reasons, not just money, but also class divisions, the weight of war horses, etc.
Therefore, most of Cao's cavalry only have vest-like leather armor, carry bows, arrows, and short knives. They are mainly engaged in riding and shooting, and are responsible for patrolling and harassing enemy formations. Others are considered heavy cavalry, with relatively tight protection, but at most they can only add a few metal parts.
As an accessory, there are two short shawls on the upper body to protect the upper arms. Most of them carry spears, which are used for frontal charges to scatter or split the enemy's formation.
As for the recruited Huqi, they basically don’t care about armor. Some of them have armor, but most of the Huqi are unarmored and are like consumables. When they go into battle, they just shout WAAAAGH to inject energy.
Immunity to damage.
Xiahou Shang had heard about and even seen the Hussar cavalry before, but he always thought that people like Zhang He, after they went to the Hussar side, were just like the Hu cavalry under his own, they were expendable.
, so it’s just meaningless at most, and it’s impossible to have any sophisticated equipment...
But now it seems that not only people have armor, but even horses have armor!
The key is that these war horses look taller than the ones under my crotch!
It's like a top executive meets a dandy, or an 18th-tier internet celebrity meets a big star with capital.
In fact, in the Han Dynasty, there were several chains of suppression in terms of force. The Shandong people were afraid of the Guanxi people, then the southerners were afraid of the northerners, the general Hu people were afraid of Wuhuan and other medium-sized tribes, and then the Wuhuan and others were afraid of Xianbei...
The fear here is the psychological weakness before the fight. Just like every time Jiangdong wants to go out to fight Jiangbei, there are a lot of people who object before the fight has even started.
Of course, in terms of literature, Shandong people pride themselves on being the best in the world, and they are unparalleled in their rhetoric. However, since the establishment of Qinglong Temple, there seem to be some problems, but as long as Qinglong Temple is put aside, Shandong is in literature
He is still number one in the world.
The direct cavalry currently under Zhang He's command is more or less like "armored cavalry", but it is not a pure heavy armored cavalry. After all, the heavy armored cavalry carries too much weight, and even the Xiliang horses can only move at full speed.
Sprinting back and forth for one or two times, although the explosive power of the battle is ridiculously strong, the fuel consumption is also ridiculously high.
Therefore, only Gan Feng has fully armored cavalry. As for Zhang He, Zhao Yun and others, most of them use simplified versions of armored cavalry. Of course, Zhang He and others can use armored cavalry not only because
There are armors and horses, and there is also a very hidden improvement point, which is that their stirrups are enlarged and specially made...
At first, the stirrups were just simple hanging rings for hanging the feet in. Then in many cases, the cavalry had to hold the horse between their legs to prevent themselves from falling off the horse. If they were wearing dozens of kilograms or even heavier cavalry armor, their physical strength would be very difficult.
The consumption is too great. Without the assistance of such special wide stirrups, the waist and legs will consume so much over time that they will lose strength. Only special stirrups that are wide and provide support for the soles of the feet can enable the rider to fully ride on the horse.
Use force instead of using a small iron ring on the sole of the foot to exert force.
Zhang He looked at his old colleague, then silently pulled down his mask, raised his spear, and rode down the small slope!
Cao's cavalry suddenly went into chaos!
There is a psychological shadow in itself, just like a jackal at the bottom of the food chain. Suddenly seeing a tiger and leopard at the top of the food chain, without fighting, his legs immediately weakened by three points! Coupled with Zhang He's high strength, these ordinary people
Cao Cao's cavalry did not dare to provoke the enemy. When encountering the impact of Zhang He and other armored cavalry, they collapsed instantly, which is reasonable.
Seeing that Zhang He and others were extremely brave and their armored cavalry were extremely sharp, Xiahou Shang was so frightened that in his panic, he even forgot to count how many men and horses Zhang He had. He just saw that Zhang He's cavalry were like
It appeared endlessly from the small slope, and then rushed down in waves, as if there were tens of millions of troops lurking behind the small slope. They didn't even dare to stay for a moment longer, and turned around and ran away. Of course
It’s also unclear that Zhang He actually didn’t have as many people as he seemed. After waiting for a few waves, there were no more people on the slope...
Not to mention, Xia Houshang is worthy of being a relative of Xia Houyuan. He has some driving skills, especially when it comes to escaping. He is even more expert in escaping. He roars and runs away!
Zhang He actually did not directly cause many casualties. After the war, a count showed that only twenty or thirty people were killed directly by swords and guns, but the number of casualties killed and wounded by Cao's troops who collided with each other and trampled on each other was ten times that number.
More than anything.
However, Zhang He originally brought his men to inspect the military stronghold, so there were not many people at all. Therefore, even if he saw Xia Houshang and others fleeing, there was no way to continue the pursuit. After a brief pursuit of a mile or two, he collected the war horses.
, and went back quietly.
While cleaning up the battlefield and returning, it seemed to Zhang He that these Xiahou troops were clearly heading towards the military stronghold. In Zhang He's opinion, the military stronghold was the tentacles of the Hussars in the Northern Territory, and Cao Jun obviously wanted to lure the military stronghold.
They attacked and then set up an ambush!
This is when Cao Jun couldn't help it anymore and wanted to stir up trouble!
Cao Jun took action first!
Zhang He led his troops to retreat, and he wanted to report this matter to Zhao Yun...
But what’s interesting is that on Cao Jun’s side, Xiahou Shang also thought the same way. The Hussar was going to cause trouble, and it was the Hussar side who made the first move!
Xiahou Shang was still worried that there was any discrepancy. He not only asked Xiahou Zijiang, but also asked the soldiers who followed Xiahou Zijiang in detail. He finally came to the conclusion that Xiahou Zijiang did not provoke the hussars at all.
I just fought a small nomadic tribe, and then I was attacked by hussars!
In this way, it was indeed the Hussars and Army Horses who made the first move!
The traitor Zhang He planned all this!
This traitor definitely wants to attack Cao Jun’s rear camp! He even wants to attack Yuyang!
It is unbelievable that there is Zhao Yun, the Northern Territory Protector behind the hussar!
It's over, the Hussars are coming!
This is the Qiusi taking action first!
Call for help, call for help immediately!
Fortunately, I was smart and alert, and I saw through the treacherous plot of the hussar. All this is my own credit!
After a few words, after all, by the way, I also want to share some profits with Xiahou Zijiang to take care of Xiahou Dun's face...
