When Chen Cheng led his bodyguards to join the battlefield, Lu Bu's army was already on the verge of collapse. No matter how brave Lu Bu was and how good Zhang Liao was in fighting, it was hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. They only had 30,000 infantry and more than 10,000 cavalry in their hands, and they were already exhausted.
They threw themselves into the attack on Duan Xuan's army, and before they had time to adjust their formation, they were attacked from the flanks or behind by the Xiliang army.
Whether it is Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Zhang Heng, Ma Teng and others, they are all generals who are good at using cavalry. Maybe with the same force, they can't be stronger than Lu Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, but Xiliang's soldiers are so numerous that under the charge of cavalry,
The infantry with broken formations was defeated first. Only the cavalry led by Lu Bu and Zhang Liao could rely on their mobility advantage and fight back and forth with the Xiliang people.
However, that's where things ended.
As Yang Qiu put troops into the battlefield one after another, the scope of activities of Lu Bu's army became smaller and smaller. When Chen Cheng led his bodyguards to join the battlefield, only three or four thousand Lu Bu's troops were left and were destroyed by the Xiliang cavalry.
The group was besieged near a town.
Everyone knows that catching or killing Lu Bu is a great achievement, so even if they were repelled many times, a large number of cavalry still chased Lu Bu closely. His gorgeous costume was really too attractive.
People were paying attention. The two armies were fighting fiercely, and one Xiliang army fell to Lu Bu's gun one after another. However, the balance of victory still tipped unswervingly in the direction of the Xiliang army.
After two years of cultivation, the equipment of the Xiliang Army has become better than the standard equipment of the imperial court. The plate armor made of steel still has various shortcomings, and repairing it is even more troublesome. But even with all kinds of defects, just
The stronger defensive power is enough to surpass Lu Bu's army's pierced armor, bundled armor, and even iron armor.
"Hoo, ho!"
Lu Bu gasped for breath. The spear in his hand had been broken once, and now it was replaced with a new one. The gorgeous armor on his body also had many damages. If it weren't for the extraordinary red rabbit and horse, he would have already been killed earlier.
In the chaos of the battle, he was stabbed off his horse.
Especially a guy with the banner of "horse". He was an expert in spear-wielding and his strength was far beyond ordinary people. It took him a lot of effort to injure him. But the battlefield was too chaotic at that time. When he thought about it,
When I went back to cut off the man's head, I could no longer see the person.
"Lord, the matter is urgent and we cannot be reluctant to fight. Please lead your troops to break out of the encirclement quickly!"
Zhang Liao's body was also full of blood. He fought hard today and repelled the Xiliang army again and again. However, the impact of the Xiliang people was like a wave, and one wave followed another. First, the infantry were scattered, like
Like a herd of driven sheep, they fled towards the east. Then the cavalry were attacked continuously. Under the constant fighting, most of them were either killed or isolated by the seemingly endless Xiliang cavalry.
Once the organization is lost, the scattered troops and horses cannot pose any threat to the enemy who maintains the organization. Zhang Liao thought to himself: Those people have either surrendered or have fled towards Chang'an.
Lu Bu was extremely resentful and unwilling. He brought an army of 100,000 here just to compete with Chen Cheng, but now he was defeated without even seeing his true master. This made his heart high.
How could he swallow this breath of pride?
But now they couldn't do it without swallowing. As they rested here for a long time, the Xiliang people surrounded them again. Lu Bu picked up the water bag and poured it into his mouth, and then said bitterly: "Wait for me
Go back to Chang'an and talk to the Xiliang thieves again!"
He jumped on his horse and shouted to his subordinates who looked tired: "Get up and fight out with me!"
"promise!"
Thousands of cavalry mounted their horses one after another, followed Lu Bu, and rushed past along a road. The Xiliang army in front of them was the candidate for the department. The candidate was originally a Lingzhou county captain. Later, Xu Chao became the minister of the household department, and he took over.
Not long after he served as Lingzhou County Magistrate, he encountered the situation of Song Jian becoming king. After Song Jian knelt down, he and Ma Wan were transferred to Jiuquan County to guard more than ten cities.
Later, Zhao Yun led an expedition to the Western Regions, and he and Ma Wan also sent soldiers and horses to assist in the battle. When the Governor of the Western Regions' Mansion was re-established, the threat from the Wusun people was greatly reduced, and the Prefectural Mufu also reduced the garrison and soldiers in Jiuquan County.
Um. He doesn't have many soldiers and horses under his command. This time he came to participate in the Eastern Expedition and only brought 3,000 cavalry. In the previous battles, he had lost hundreds of soldiers and horses, leaving only more than 2,000 cavalry.
.
Seeing Lu Bu breaking out from this direction, Hou Xuan cursed secretly in his stomach: Does Nai Gong look like he is made of dough? The scolding continued, but Hou Xuan had to brace himself to deal with it, and did not dare to let him go just like that.
Lu Bu was killed. He raised his spear, raised his arms and shouted: "Come with me!"
Among the soldiers and horses under his command, most of the officers are brothers of the Hou family. In addition, the number of troops is not large, so they are well trained and treated well. Even when faced with the trapped Lu Bu army, these people did not hesitate.
Then he rushed up with the candidate.
The tactics of both sides were exactly the same. The most elite assault cavalry were placed in the front, the light cavalry was placed in the back, and the rangers were deployed on the wings. The horses galloped, and the sound of hooves was like thunder. After the horses were lifted up, the spears naturally dropped and pointed forward.
The enemy. The difference is that Lu Bu's troops and horses have gone through successive fierce battles. All their armored cavalry have been lost, and other assault cavalry have also suffered many casualties. Therefore, the troops and horses in the front row look a little sparse and no longer there.
The momentum that swept thousands of armies before.
The troops and horses of the Candidates were close together, stretched into a width of half a mile, and collided with Lu Bu's cavalry head-on.
The open terrain of the Guanzhong Plain is most suitable for cavalry galloping. The horses of both sides quickly reached their maximum speed. The densely packed cavalry collided head-on. The sound of broken wooden poles and the sound of metal collision sounded almost simultaneously, and then the soldiers
screams and the neighing of war horses.
In melee combat, if the combat effectiveness of both sides is about the same, then the losses will be proportional to the strength of the opponent. Although Lu Bu is brave, he can't do anything in this head-on collision. It's just a hedging, and Lu Bu's army has another
Hundreds more casualties.
When the front row's assault ran out of kinetic energy, the light cavalry and rangers in the rear began to fight with each other again. The battle line stretched to both sides. The original open space was not enough for the cavalry to run, and many cavalry simply jumped closer.
In the fields, the iron hooves of the war horses trampled the seedlings in the fields to pieces. Arrows and spears whizzed through the air, knocking off the cavalry one after another.
Lü Bu rose up bravely, thrust out his spear, and hit a Xiliang cavalryman in the chest. The tip of the spear struck the hard steel plate, making a "squeaking" sound, but it failed to pierce through as before. Lü Bu couldn't help but be stunned.
The two horses crossed each other. He raised the spear and took a closer look. However, the tip of the spear had been broken because the battle was too fierce.
He cursed loudly, threw away the spear, and pulled out his secondary weapon, the Huanshou Dao. A strong wind blew in front of him. Without thinking, Lu Bu blocked it with his sword, and the Huanshou Dao struck the tip of the spear. Sparks shot out and made a clanging sound.
The candidate was also a well-known hero in the army. He knew that his martial arts skills were still far behind Lu Bu's, but he was not afraid at all. He steeled himself and galloped his horse to attack.
Lu Bu sneered, and saw what was coming and swung his sword again. The spear was knocked open and passed in front of him.
The candidate's attack was in vain again, and he couldn't help feeling frustrated in his heart. However, he saw Lu Bu twisting his body to avoid his fierce assassination, and then stretched out his left hand to grab the barrel of the gun. The powerful force came, and the weapon was about to be released.
The candidate was shocked and quickly grabbed the spear in his hand.
The strength of both hands will always be greater than that of one hand, unless the gap between them is so great that it is incomparable. The candidate grabbed the gun barrel with both hands and was about to take it back, but Lu Bu had already thrown away the ring sword and grabbed the spear with both hands.
The first half of the body was lifted up, and then he roared, exerting force with both arms, and actually dragged the candidate off the horse.
When the soldiers under the Hou Xuan's command saw this, they became anxious and shouted together: "General, let go!"
After hearing this, the candidate secretly cursed himself for being too stupid, and quickly released his hands and curled up. Lu Bu grabbed a high-quality spear, laughed wildly, the spear shook in his hand, and hit the two Xiliangs who were approaching.
The cavalry stabbed him to death. Others did not dare to stop him and snatched the candidate back from the ground.
The candidate climbed on a war horse in a daze and shouted: "Ignore Lu Bu for now, leave all the cavalry behind me!"
Upon hearing the sound, the soldiers under his command gave up chasing Lu Bu and instead began to surround and kill the enemy troops scattered in the fields and roads. During the previous melee, more Xiliang cavalry had already circled to the front, preparing to intercept Lu Bu again.
The red rabbit horse galloped on the country road. The scenery in front of it kept approaching quickly, and then it was quickly led behind it. After galloping for a distance, Lu Bu suddenly reined in the horse, and the red rabbit horse kept kicking its four hooves.
At that time, Zhang Liao and others caught up and asked: "Why did my lord stop?"
Lu Bu pointed to the nearby village and the branching road ahead, and asked, "Where is this place?"
If it was near a city, you could still tell where it was, but where in the countryside would there be road signs, signs, landmarks and the like? Zhang Liao and others looked around, but they didn't know where they were.
There were sounds of cocks crowing and dogs barking in the village, people were running back and forth, and there seemed to be the reflection of weapons. Seeing that the village's defense was not very strong, Lu Bu wanted to repair it here first. Guanzhong has always been rich, although these two
It has been ruined a lot in the past year, but there is still some food in the village. Eat a hot meal and sleep with two village girls in your arms, which will definitely restore your vitality.
But there was smoke and dust on the road behind, and it was obvious that the Xiliang bandits were catching up. Lu Bu did not dare to stop now, so he shouted: "Old man, which way to Chang'an?"
An old man poked his head out from behind the closed village gate. He took a look at Lu Bu, who was a little downcast but still wearing gorgeous armor. He pointed in one direction and said, "It's over there!"
Lu Bu then shouted to Qian Duoqi behind him: "Follow me!"
After the cavalry had gone far, someone in the village asked: "Village chief, don't you have to take the east road to Chang'an? Why did you point to the north? The north road ends at a river beach and a swamp!"
"
An old voice sounded, "Just let them go to the swamp! That Lu Bu, I recognize him even if he turns to ashes! He killed the people in Erwazi Village. Now that he has lost the battle and wants to run back to Chang'an, I still
