Seeing the most powerful general of the Xiliang Army, Ma Chao's expression was also a little excited, but more of it was a fighting spirit. A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Ma Chao thought that he was good at martial arts. He had challenged many generals in the army, and he also had good intentions.
I wanted to compete with Lu Bu, but Lu Bu's image at this time was indeed not very good. His whole body was burnt black by flames, there were dust marks on his face, and he still smelled of blood baking in the fire.
It's hard to make people feel good.
Duan Xuan had just ordered his soldiers to extinguish the fire in the camp, when the Xiliang army came to kill them again. The rumble of horse hooves had already alerted the Bingzhou cavalry.
After Lu Bu's sneak attack just now, the cavalrymen were in panic.
In the face of danger, Duan Yan hurriedly organized his soldiers to pile up debris and other debris in front of the army to block the opponent's cavalry. The cavalry lost their speed and the cavalry could only become lambs to be slaughtered. This sentence was never recognized by Duan Yan.
Looking at the messy Bingzhou Army garrison, Ma Chao had a sneer on his face, "The Bingzhou Cavalry is nothing more than that!"
Lu Bu looked slightly ugly, snorted coldly, and turned his gaze to Duan Yan in the distance. It was only because of the soldiers' strict guard that Duan Yan escaped.
"Kill!" Ma Chao waved his spear, and the two thousand cavalry behind him launched a charge. The debris greatly hindered the speed of the cavalry's charge.
Duan Yan seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and ordered the cavalry to charge immediately. Calculating whether it was intentional or not, the Bingzhou cavalry had the upper hand. Although the army was a little panicked, it was a well-trained cavalry after all, and it quickly returned to normal combat status.
.
Seeing all this, Lu Bu frowned slightly. He could see some of the effects of these debris before Duan Xuan's army. When the Xiliang army got there, they could only slow down. At this time, the Xuan army had already launched a charge, and at that time, just now
The Xiliang army passing through the debris will be exposed to the high-speed impact of the Bingzhou cavalry. The cavalry relies on speed, and once the opponent has the advantage in speed, the outcome of this war is unpredictable, bit by bit.
Changes are enough to affect the results.
I wanted to persuade Ma Chao, but I saw that he was already on horseback, holding a gun, and charging at the Bingzhou Army with great momentum.
The strength of the cavalry on both sides was almost the same. The Xiliang Army's cavalry was better because of their proper coordination. Three or five cavalrymen could quickly separate them. Their skilled movements and rigorous coordination made Duan Xuan's eyes light up. He had always been the only one among the infantry.
Only in this way can we have such close cooperation. I didn't expect that the cavalry could actually achieve this. The ranks have also tried hard in this regard, but without success.
The Bingzhou cavalry was at its highest speed and had a slight advantage in strength. The two sides were going back and forth, and the fighting was in full swing.
Unwilling to be left alone, Lu Bu led the few dozen cavalrymen around him to attack Duan Xuan's central flag. He beheaded the general and captured the flag. Taking the head of a general among thousands of troops was the most glorious thing for a general.
Ma Chao seemed to have the same idea, leading hundreds of cavalry to attack Duan Xuan in the shape of a wild goose.
Lu Bu sneered and slapped the horse's back fiercely. The horse approached the debris. With its superb equestrian skills, it rushed into Duan Xuan's army without slowing down. Mi Wei who was watching on the side cheered repeatedly.
Lu Bu was like a god of death. The cavalry along the way could not stop him. When the Xiliang army saw Lu Bu coming to kill them, they gave way one after another. The most powerful general in the army had a great reputation in the army. It is said that when fighting in the past, whenever
Our own soldiers who blocked Lu Bu's charge will be reprimanded by him after they return.
Lu Bu's horse was so fast that one of the cavalrymen was stabbed to the core before he could react. The ownerless horses were soon drowned on the battlefield.
A group of horses surpassed more than a hundred cavalry, and a group of Lu Bu had more than a dozen men. Like two sharp arrows, they shot straight towards Duan Xuan.
Duan Xuan sneered, his face seemed to be less fearful than he expected.
There were sounds of fighting, and every cavalryman was fighting bravely. There were only two hundred cavalrymen protecting Duan Yan. Can they withstand the two fierce tigers Ma Chao and Lu Bu?
"Shoot an arrow!" Duan Xuan gave the order, and the guards beside him took up their bows and shot arrows in the direction of Ma Chao without hesitation.
Unprepared, about twenty people were hit by arrows, but Duan Yan's cavalry also lost more than a dozen people.
Ma Chao was shocked. He didn't expect Duan Yan to be so courageous. On the battlefield, with his own cavalry, he could be so decisive. He was also a cruel man, and he would do anything to win.
Getting closer and closer, Lu Bu's eyes flashed with gleams.
"Withdraw!" The Chinese army remembered the sound of Jin Jin, and the Bingzhou cavalry who were fighting abandoned the enemy and retreated in the direction of the Chinese army.
The Xiliang army did not receive the order from the general to retreat, so naturally they would not miss the opportunity to beat up the drowned dog.
Lu Bu felt that something was wrong. Judging from the calm look on Duan Yan's face, the other party did not have the slightest anxiety because of the large number of people on his side. He was either pretending or having a back-up move. Moreover, Duan Yan had a lot of cavalry before, even if they were defeated
Even under sneak attacks, there is combat effectiveness.
Suddenly, Lu Bu thought of the number of Duan Yan's army. Until now, the scouts of the Xiliang Army could only wander around the periphery of the Bingzhou cavalry. He had no specific idea of their number. He only knew that there were about three thousand people. But the cavalry in front of him,
Obviously there are only more than a thousand people, where are the rest?
He deliberately tried to dissuade Ma Chao, but when he thought of the arrogance he had shown in front of him before, he snorted coldly, stood up on his horse, and stopped pursuing.
Duan Yan set up camp with the green hills behind him, and was leading his soldiers to slowly retreat from the valley. He had previously let Lu Bu attack the camp, but the soldiers did not suffer much loss. Lu Bu's small number could only cause such a big storm, but now it was really a storm.
The situation is critical.
Ma Chao didn't take it seriously and continued to lead hundreds of cavalry to pursue Duan Xuan. It was his first time to lead an army in a battle. Naturally, he hoped to perform more, especially with the most powerful general of the Xiliang Army beside him.
As soon as the trumpet sounded, huge rocks flew from the mountain and hit the pursuing Xiliang army's camp, causing people to fall on their backs.
Ma Chao hurriedly asked the cavalry to retreat, only to see about 200 people appearing in the valley at some point, holding huge rocks and constantly throwing them down.
After counting the losses, Ma Chao couldn't be happy anymore. The cavalry that had just been chasing Duan Yan were blocked by the big rocks and were blocked by Duan Yan. He could imagine their fate with his toes, and all this could only be attributed to him.
I am too easy to think about things without thinking carefully.
"General Lu, it was the fault of your humble position this time. The army suffered a loss of soldiers and generals. I will definitely show you to the general in the future!" Ma Chao said in a low voice.
Lu Bu snorted coldly: "What does it have to do with me!"
Ma Chao's face turned red. He had tried to keep his posture as low as possible when talking to Lu Bu in a low voice. He didn't expect to be so disrespectful. He couldn't help but feel a little angry: "General, you and I are both under the rule of the Xiliang Army. Why didn't we say anything even though we knew there was an enemy ahead?
Report, what is the intention of causing more than two hundred people to be killed by the enemy?"
Lu Bu sneered and said, "Even if I try to dissuade you, will General Ma listen? My little boy, don't talk nonsense in front of me. Even if you are here, you must treat me with respect."
Ma Chao put his right hand on his sword, with fierce anger burning in his eyes. He wanted to draw his sword and kill Lu Bu, and his respect for Lu Bu disappeared in an instant.
Lu Bu got on his horse and led a dozen cavalrymen away. He said nothing. He was a talented general in the army and there was no need to argue with a young boy.
Looking at Lu Bu's leaving figure, Ma Chao slowly regained his consciousness. He dared to sneak attack the enemy camp with 2,000 people with only a hundred men. Compared with his achievements, his own achievements were nothing more than a child's play.
That’s all.
Mi Wei said: "General, now that General Lu has left, what should our army do?"
"Our army can fight on its own, why should we look at Lu Bu's face!" Ma Chao refused to give in. After leading his soldiers to clean up the battlefield, he roared away.
Lu Bu led a dozen men and did not return to Huang Zhong's camp. He had a thousand men and horses when he came, but now he only had a dozen men. He was too embarrassed to go back. On the battlefield, there were not only two cavalrymen, he and Ma Chao, but also a thousand men.
The cavalry and the general commanding the army were Lu Bu's subordinate Mu Da, who was the beloved son of the former western master. He was brave and strategic, and was highly valued by Lu Bu.
"Contact General Muda and ask him to make peace with our army as soon as possible." Lu Bu said solemnly.
The scout clasped his fists and left.
Ma Chao's nonsense made Lu Bu feel very unhappy. When he led the cavalry to fight for Jia Rong, Ma Chao was still playing with Xini. When Jia Rong personally announced that he was the most powerful general of the Xiliang Army, you can imagine the hostility in Lu Bu's heart.
Know.
"Greetings to the general!" Mu Da bowed on horseback and said.
Lu Bu said: "General Muda, you don't have to be polite."
Looking at the situation reported on the battlefield, Jia Rong frowned. There were only a dozen people left in Lu Bu's army. Ma Chao lost more than 200 cavalry in the hands of Duan Xuan. When did the Bingzhou cavalry become so powerful?
A total of more than a thousand Xiliang troops were broken in their hands. It seems that Li Ru, this kid, has spent a lot of money to deal with himself. He even dares to train a team such as cavalry, which consumes a lot of money. If he were Li Ru, he would definitely
Not so.
On the third day after the arrival of the army, Jia Rong organized soldiers to launch a tentative attack on Pingtao City. The defender Xu Rong was an old friend from that time. Jia Rong knew that Xu Rong would never surrender, so he did not bother to persuade him to surrender.
Different from previous attacks, the Xiliang Army seems to be studying a new tactic. Thunderbolt chariots and continuous ballistas, guarded by heavy infantry, are slowly approaching the city wall. The range of the continuous ballistas is twice that of bows and arrows.
There is more than enough, which can be used to suppress the defenders on the city.
After adjusting the angle of the crossbow cart, it roared and fired out dense crossbow arrows. Some of the defenders on the city were equipped with wooden shields. How could they withstand the force of the crossbow arrows? There were many people who failed to respond. The armor on the soldiers was even more difficult to protect.
They provided protection, and even though the crossbow arrows were fired at the city from a distance, their power remained intact.
Compared with killing enemies on the plains, the power of the crossbow cart was greatly weakened. It could only hit some enemy soldiers who were exposed on the city. Most of the arrows were shot on the city wall, and the arrows of the crossbows were deeply inserted.
It fell into the wall, bringing up stone chips.
It’s New Year’s Day, I wish you all a Happy New Year.
