Chapter 225 In the heart of the poison, the cavalry chases and kills
With iron halberds crisscrossing, swords flashing and blood shadows, no one in the Yellow Turban Army could join him. In a short time, he killed five thousand Yu Po Army and passed through them.
"Don't worry about anything else, just kill poison."
At this moment, Dian Wei no longer thought about him, only the order given by Yuan Shu when he came, kill Yu Du, kill Yu Du.
"If you are poisoned, you will receive your fate."
Dian Wei was fearless and rode towards Yu Po to kill him alone.
"Commander, the five thousand soldiers and horses you sent have been defeated by the enemy and are now rushing towards us."
The scout came to Yu Du covered in blood and reported to him.
"What? My five thousand elite soldiers and the five thousand troops in the rear are nearly ten thousand people."
Yu Du was so panicked that nearly 10,000 troops could not stop 5,000 troops. He couldn't believe it.
"Commander, the situation is over now. If we don't break out quickly, it will be too late."
A primary school student half-knelt in front of Yu Du and suggested to him to run away.
"puff."
Yu Du swung his knife and hacked the primary school student to death on the spot.
"Anyone who disrupts the morale of our army in the face of war will be killed without mercy."
"Li Ding, you lead five thousand elite troops to stop the enemy behind. The rest will charge with me. We must break the enemy's formation."
At this moment, Yu Du finally showed the attitude that a superior should have. He has not been able to run since this battle. Once he runs, it will be over. Not to mention other things, the thousand cavalry who are watching eagerly outside can chase him away.
The dog jumps.
Just when Yudu was preparing to attack with his entire army, a desolate horn sounded throughout the world, followed by rumbling drums and shouts of killing that filled Cangyu.
"Lord, something bad has happened. Wen Chou's troops were found in the north, numbering about 10,000 to 20,000, heading towards the battlefield."
Yu Du's scouts at the back came and reported to him Wen Chou's progress.
"Li Ding, Zheng Shen"
"exist."
"exist."
"Lead the elite troops to escort me to retreat to the south."
At this moment, Yu Du's heart was completely cold. It was impossible to win. The only thing he could do now was to escape before Wen Chou's troops arrived.
"promise."
"promise."
After receiving the order from General Yu Du, Li Ding and Zheng Shen began to retreat from the side with their elite troops.
"Yu Du wants to run away."
Yuan Yu was in charge of the overall situation from behind. When he saw the movements of Yu Du's troops, he immediately knew what he was thinking.
"The cavalry is ready to pursue Yu Du."
Since you want to run away, how can the cavalry remain idle?
Under the command of Yuan Yu, a thousand cavalrymen identified their target and rushed towards Yu Du with great speed.
"Commander, you go quickly, I will lead someone to stop them."
The situation was critical, and Li Dingdang decided to lead his three thousand troops to stay to stop the cavalry.
"Okay, I'll leave this to you."
Now Yu Du can't say anything else, he still trusts Li Ding to stay and stop the enemy.
"promise."
Li Ding stopped and the three thousand elite soldiers under his command also stopped immediately and turned around to look at the cavalry in the distance.
"Brothers, follow me to stop the enemy and help the commander buy time."
"promise."
"The enemy left soldiers and horses to block us."
"Go straight ahead, don't be too eager to fight. Our target is Yu Du, not these small fish and shrimps."
The cavalry commander was named Yuan Ang, and he had accompanied Yuan Shu in his campaigns east and west for many years. He was very heroic.
"promise."
A thousand cavalry troops, led by Yuan Ang, rushed towards Li Ding's rear army like arrows.
"Put up a shield and tree a spear."
Seeing the cavalry rushing towards him, Li Ding shouted a military order.
Round shields stood up, and spears appeared on the shield wall like bushes.
"Get over it."
Facing the military formation in front of him, Yuan Ang was not surprised. This was not the first time he had been treated like this during his many years of marching.
As soon as he lifted the reins, his horse jumped up and flew directly over the shield array in front of him, like a psychic, and landed among Li Ding's army.
Not only Yuan Ang was like this, but all the cavalry under his command were like this. They all picked up their reins and drove their horses to fly over the shield formation.
Of course, some succeeded and others failed. Those cavalrymen who did not leap over the shield formation were killed by their spears and round shields, including their men and their horses.
After Yuan Ang landed on the ground, he slashed with his steel sword, killing the two yellow scarf soldiers who were coming towards him, then rode his horse and continued to charge forward.
"Form up another military formation and stop them."
Li Ding waved his sword and commanded his troops to form a second line of defense to continue to block Yuan Shu's cavalry.
"Go back and kill the enemy."
Seeing that the enemy had set up a second line of defense, Yuan Ang was helpless. Especially during the first line of defense, he could use his horse speed to leap over the shield formation. If he forced his way through the second line of defense, his men and horses alone would not be enough.
Hundreds of cavalry followed Yuan Ang, turned their horses, and began to attack the shield array arranged by Li Ding from behind.
Under the attack from the front and back, the first shield array arranged by Li Ding was directly torn into pieces. More than a thousand Yellow Turban elites fled in all directions under the attack of the cavalry.
Li Ding watched his brothers die tragically one by one under the hooves of the cavalry. His heart was dripping with blood and his eyes were full of tears.
"Brothers, I'm sorry."
Li Ding could only pray for them silently, and could do nothing else.
Three thousand soldiers and horses were dispersed by one thousand in one round. With only two thousand soldiers and horses left, Li Ding really didn't know whether Yu Du's mission could be completed.
After Yuan Ang annihilated the enemy, he led the cavalry to slowly reorganize the army, and at the same time withdrew the horses a hundred meters away.
"Cavalry, charge."
After establishing sufficient distance, Yuan Ang ordered the cavalry to charge again.
Like a mountain and river pouring down, nine hundred cavalry charged towards Li Ding again.
"Put up shields and tree spears. Give me two rows of war spears this time, and I'll let them fly again."
As the saying goes, you can't do it twice. Some tricks are a wonderful move once, but the enemy will see the flaw the second time and become a fatal move.
"Hey, do you really think that our Jizhou cavalry can only fly?"
Seeing that Li Ding was on guard, Yuan Ang was not afraid at all.
The war horses galloped rapidly, and when they were fifty steps away, Yuan Ang gave the order again.
"Flying Halberd."
A halberd appeared in the hands of the cavalry, and then they were thrown over by the galloping horses.
The hand halberd was countless times more powerful than the bow and arrow. A shield that could not be broken by the bow and arrow was like paper under the hand halberd.
Hand halberds roared in, smashing shields into pieces, and even the infantry behind the shields were nailed to the ground by the halberds.
The shield formation that Li Dingyin relied on was completely destroyed by Yuan Ang's flying halberd so easily.
Without the shield array, Li Ding's elite soldiers could no longer resist Yuan An's cavalry. After a fierce attack, Yuan An's sword cut off Li Ding's head, and the remaining Yellow Turbans all knelt down and surrendered.
"Zhang Shu, you lead a hundred men to gather the prisoners, and the rest of the troops will follow me to continue chasing Yu Du."
Looking at the surrendered soldiers all over the place, Yuan Ang immediately ordered his deputies to collect the surrendered soldiers, and he whipped up his horse and led more than 700 guard cavalry to continue southward to pursue Yu Du.
