Chapter four hundred and ninety-fifth iron cavalry impact
Boom!
Boom!
"What is this sound? Is it thundering? Is it going to rain?"
In the coalition camp, some soldiers heard the rumbling sound coming from the distance and said strangely. Of course, these are all new recruits.
"No, this is the sound of the cavalry." There were even some veterans who guessed it in an instant. Some clever veterans guessed in an instant that these cavalry might be about to attack them.
In fact, not only these veterans discovered it, but also the princes and generals of the coalition forces immediately understood that this was Dong Zhuo's night attack.
"Woo~"
In an instant, the allied army's camp blew the horn, and all the soldiers started to "activate" urgently.
"kill!"
But no matter how fast they were, they were not as fast as the cavalry led by Lu Bu. In the blink of an eye, the cavalry led by Lu Bu had already arrived outside the coalition camp.
The endless cavalry behind them continued to charge towards the coalition camp.
Lu Bu looked up to the sky and roared angrily, then rode the red rabbit and led the way into the coalition camp.
At this time, he suddenly felt as if he was in a deserted place. In fact, this was also the case. The coalition forces could not find a general who could compete with him.
In the past, we might have been able to find a few top-notch generals to attack him. But since they were all severely injured by Xiao Ziyu that day, they are still lying in the rear recuperating.
The remaining generals are only second-rate in strength at best. No matter how many such generals come, for Lu Bu, they are just "giving away food".
He didn't see that a general who was not afraid of death had just charged up, but with just two moves, Lu Bu gave him a halberd and killed him. Suddenly no other general had the courage to charge forward.
So Lu Bu led the Bingzhou cavalry behind him and the Xiliang cavalry led by Hua Xiong, and attacked the coalition camp again and again.
"How dare you, the rats from Guandong, fight with me?"
Just killing the soldiers made Lu Bu feel very unhappy, so he could only provoke him to see if he could anger the other party.
But obviously he underestimated the patience of the princes in Kanto.
No matter how provocative he is, the princes of Guandong will never come out.
Just kidding, if you come out now, you are looking for death. Without those fierce generals to protect you, if Lu Bu really finds out, it will be really dangerous.
They had seen Lu Bu's strength with their own eyes, and they did not think that their own soldiers could stop Lu Bu's attack.
Therefore, all the princes in Guandong hid at the back of the coalition camp, commanding the army to block Lu Bu and his surprise attack.
However, there was no strong general to stop Lu Bu and the others, so Lu Bu and the others' penetration ability doubled.
This time, Lu Bu brought 10,000 Bingzhou cavalry, Hua Xiong, Xu Huang and others brought 40,000 Xiliang cavalry, a total of 50,000 cavalry came to attack at night.
It can be said that this time, Dong Zhuo also spent a lot of money.
After all, the entire Xiliang Iron Cavalry in Hulao Pass was only 80,000. This time, half of them were used to sneak attack on the coalition camp, hoping to hit them hard.
"Damn, you're so careless"
In the rear area of the coalition camp, the princes like Yuan Shao looked very ugly as they saw Lu Bu and the others in the front camp wreaking havoc, especially Yuan Shao, who was even more livid.
As the leader of the coalition, he was attacked by Dong Zhuo at night and failed to take precautions in advance. This was his responsibility.
In fact, they were very vigilant in the first two days, but seeing that Dong Zhuo had not made any movement for two days, they immediately relaxed a lot.
As a result, just when they were slacking off, Dong Zhuo took action. It must be said that Li Ru grasped the enemy's psychological activities very accurately.
A sure hit.
Due to the raging rampage of Lu Bu and others, Yuan Shao and the others did not dare to move forward, so they could only dispatch their troops from behind to stop the opponent.
However, there was no strong general to block the attack, and the combat effectiveness of the coalition soldiers was obviously not very high. Yuan Shao and the others were lucky that there were no deserters.
If there really is a large-scale desertion, then Yuan Shao and his coalition camp will be in danger.
"Damn it, what do you think we should do? Are we going to let Lu Bu do whatever he wants?" Yuan Shao looked at the surrounding princes and said.
But as soon as his words came out, everyone present immediately lowered their heads. Apparently they couldn't think of any good solution.
Choosing to fight head-on, there was no general to resist strong generals like Lu Bu. They knew they wouldn't be able to hold on much just relying on the bravery of the soldiers.
If their army hadn't far outnumbered Lu Bu's cavalry, then to be honest, they would probably have been scattered by a single blow tonight.
But even so, their army is not safe, because they have discovered that the resistance of the former army camp is getting weaker and weaker.
Lu Bu even rushed into the coalition camp alone.
"Damn it, we must not let this Lu Bu continue to act recklessly like this," Yuan Shao said fiercely, and then ordered his men to aim all Po Gang Crossbows at him.
Dong Zhuo had these Po Gang Crossbows, and of course the coalition forces also had them, and there were many more of them than Dong Zhuo. These days, the coalition forces did not use these Po Gang Crossbows because they had generals who could stop Lu Bu.
In fact, they also knew that the Pogang Crossbow was not very effective against a strong general of Lu Bu's level.
But at least it can block and intimidate the opponent and make Lu Bu have some scruples. This is Yuan Shao's hope.
"We can't let them continue their attack. The losses to us will be too great. What can you do?"
Yuan Shao didn't believe that Lu Bu and his men could defeat their coalition's army of millions with just 50,000 troops.
But if the opponent is allowed to attack like this, even if it cannot defeat them, it can still cause them more damage.
"Now that Lu Bu and the others are coming to attack at night, why don't we also send a large army to attack Hulao Pass. Even if we can't capture it, we can at least force Lu Bu and the others to come back for reinforcements."
Cao Cao thought for a while and suddenly suggested.
There isn't much he can do now.
In fact, even the top counselors have no good solution at this moment. After all, Li Ru is planning a conspiracy.
He was taking advantage of the fact that the coalition forces did not have strong generals to compete with Lu Bu to attack the coalition forces in Kanto. Moreover, he also knew that a night attack would definitely not be able to defeat the coalition forces.
But his idea was to inflict heavy damage on the coalition forces as much as possible and eliminate as many of the coalition's effective forces as possible.
Destroying the morale of the coalition forces would also be of great help to their defense at Hulao Pass.
In fact, Lu Bu and the others did very well tonight.
When the coalition forces sent troops to attack Hulao Pass, Li Ru also felt that it was almost done. So he sent a signal to Lu Bu and others to come back.
In fact, the attack lasted most of the night, and the cavalry behind Lu Bu were also a little tired. Moreover, they had already rushed into the coalition's central camp.
Without the impact speed, the combat effectiveness of the iron cavalry has dropped a lot. If they continue to fight, their losses will also increase greatly.
So when Lu Bu saw the retreat signal sent by Li Ru, he didn't think much about it and ordered the retreat.
After all, the cavalry behind him were all brought from Bingzhou, and he didn't want them to suffer too much.
At this moment, he also felt that the coalition forces seemed to be preparing to surround them. Once they were surrounded by the other side, even if they could break through, they would still lose some troops.
In Lu Bu's opinion, this was not cost-effective. After all, tonight's raid was quite enjoyable.
The coalition's front camp, which consisted of more than 100,000 troops, was also severely damaged by them, and it was almost finished. Their results tonight were also very good.
