Seeing the Xiongnu elite cavalry rushing past like thunder in the jungle shocked Li Yan, but also made him fearful.
Danyang's elite soldiers spared no casualties to curb the charging speed of the Northern Huns' elite cavalry just for this moment. Li Yan's legion talent, coupled with the elite talent of Danyang soldiers, were enough to move the troops he wanted to the position he wanted in a moment.
After confirming that the speed of the Xiongnu Jingqi has dropped significantly due to the occasional attacks from the left and right wings, as well as the attacks of the Karasuma cavalry behind him, Li Yan immediately stopped hesitating. He had already seen that the core of the Northern Huns Jingqi's combat was two words.
, swift and fierce!
As long as one of them is eliminated and their movement is restricted, it will be very difficult for the other party to show it no matter how capable they are.
"Boom!" With a dull sound, the Danyang elite soldier holding a large shield broke his arms and was knocked away. The Northern Huns elite cavalry, who could not avoid it and had to hit it, broke through several layers, and its speed dropped significantly.
Come down.
After all, they are not the kind of cavalry that Xiliang cavalry can only choose one way. The Northern Huns cavalry, which can fight at close range, attack from a distance, shoot on horseback, and charge, has completely slowed down after breaking through several layers of defense lines.
Danyang's elite soldiers, who were waiting for the opportunity, had already surrounded them, leaving no space for the Northern Huns to accelerate.
After failing to step into the formation and being forcibly restrained in speed, the Northern Huns elite cavalry actually already knew the result. After any cavalry loses speed, there will be no other consequences. When the proud war horse has become a burden, this cavalry
It is only one step away from defeat.
"Kill!" Li Yan roared angrily after seeing that the pocket formation he had deployed had successfully produced results, and more than 3,000 Danyang soldiers from his headquarters spontaneously penetrated from both sides toward the Northern Xiongnu elite cavalry trapped in the center in groups of five.
Soon the nearly 2,000 Northern Huns elite cavalry were cut and surrounded by more than 3,000 Danyang soldiers into small pieces. However, the ensuing battle made Li Yan clearly feel the tenacity of the Northern Huns elites. Even if they dismounted and fought against them on foot, Li Yan
Not inferior to Danyang Elite Soldiers.
Of course, the Danyang elite soldiers themselves are not famous for their individual combat effectiveness. This kind of elite is a typical example of the more people, the stronger their combat effectiveness. Their own organizational skills and teamwork make their combat effectiveness increase extremely exaggeratedly after their numbers reach a certain level.
However, the tyrannical strength of the Northern Huns' elite cavalry in dismounted combat was just a flash in the pan. Zhou Yu did not just watch from the sidelines. After Li Yan led the Danyang elite soldiers to appear, Zhou Yu had already ordered all the soldiers to be ready to string their bows and arrows.
Although most of the infantry in Jiangdong are weak, Zhou Yu is still quite confident in the combat effectiveness of the Danyang soldiers. Even if it is impossible to defeat the Northern Huns' elite cavalry, Zhou Yu believes that Li Yan can still stop the opponent.
Of course, Li Yan's subsequent performance was a surprise to Zhou Yu. Although Zhou Yu did not see clearly what happened due to the chaos on the battlefield, Li Yan not only blocked the Northern Huns' elite cavalry, but also limited the speed of the Northern Huns' elite cavalry.
Surrounded by a large army, he could see this scene clearly.
Therefore, after determining the situation, Zhou Yu made a prompt decision and led the entire army to rush over directly, and then organized elite archers to clear out the northern Huns' elite cavalry piece by piece.
This method of using archers quickly yielded results. Wenpin and Cheng Pu immediately led a group of archers and began to clear out the Xiongnu who were surrounded in the center piece by piece.
In this battlefield that was completely covered by arrows, the Northern Huns' elite cavalry lost the speed of their horses and could not leave the battlefield quickly. Li Yan from the front forcefully blocked the Northern Xiongnu's thrusts, causing the Northern Huns to
Jingqi completely lost the chance to retreat.
As a larger amount of backup arrived, the heavily surrounded Northern Huns Jingqi fell down on the road of charge in frustration. Of course, this was only for the Northern Huns, and it was a very lucky thing for Zhou Yu.
However, when the battle losses were counted later, Zhou Yu's face became very ugly. Not to mention the loss of nearly 100,000 arrows, the loss of soldiers alone exceeded 6,000. In other words, although Zhou Yu was annihilated in this battle,
They captured 3,000 Northern Xiongnu elite cavalry, but apart from achieving their strategic goals, they basically suffered losses in other aspects.
In other words, in fact, for Zhou Yu, apart from gaining combat experience against cavalry, all the other captured materials in this battle were just illusions, and he gained nothing at all.
"Are the losses so heavy?" Zhou Yu said with a gloomy look.
"If General Li hadn't withstood the Northern Huns' attack, I'm afraid the result would have been even worse, and the possibility of a strategic retreat by the Northern Huns would have been very high." Wenpin lowered his head and said in awe. Zhou Yu rarely showed a gloomy look, but once he appeared
That means something big is going on.
"Let's stop in the camp and rest for a while. I need to talk to the aristocratic families who are following us, and we can't fight like this. A mere three thousand Northern Huns actually killed twice the infantry led by me, and they were still there when our army came out.
Under an unexpected ambush." Zhou Yu pressed his thumb on his index finger with a solemn expression.
For Zhou Yu, the righteousness of going north to join the war is not as obvious as the interests. He has basically obtained what he wants now, and what he will do after that is more to complete the deal with Chen Xi. Of course, it is more about
Sun Ce.
It's just that Zhou Yu, who had just landed, fought such a fierce battle. It can be said that since he went south to Pingjiangdong and captured Jingxiang, Zhou Yu had never lost so many troops in any war.
[We must find some other way. There is no point in fighting this kind of war except for revenge. The cavalry of the Northern Huns is very troublesome.] Zhou Yu thought silently.
Wenpin nodded and left the tent, and ordered people to start informing the leaders of the big and small families who came with them to the Liaodong Peninsula. He also saw the brutality of this battle, and the Northern Huns were indeed difficult to deal with.
[I also need to work hard. My legion talent is only meaningful when defending. I need to change my fighting style. A general who cannot even resist is not far from losing his meaning.] Wen Pin is heavy.
think.
Different from Li Yan, Wenpin has been following Sun Ce and Zhou Yu for a very long time. However, in comparison, the backward Li Yan performed far more dazzlingly than Wenpin. In addition, Wenpin led his troops to resist in this battle but was easily defeated.
They were defeated, but Li Yan forcibly sealed the victory, which put a lot of pressure on the senior Wenpin.
On the other side, Li Yan and Cheng Pu are also sorting out their experience in this battle, but Li Yan is thinking more about how to better demonstrate his abilities. After using his talents together with the elite talents of Danyang Elite Soldiers, then
This feeling of being at the helm of the legion inspired him to develop many tactics.
