I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 269 Cavalry’s Nightmare

"Report! General, the Wei cavalry has entered the range!"

"I saw!"

Guan Tong, standing on the general stage, said loudly.

In fact, Guan Tong is not a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles. This is even his first time experiencing such a large-scale battlefield.

But he is different from others. He is the grandson of Guan Yu. This status is destined to have high hopes for him by everyone.

From a young age, Guan Tong studied hard and practiced hard. Whether it was martial arts or studying, he worked harder than ordinary people.

It's just that there is a lack of opportunity to go to the battlefield.

Now, his chance has come.

His opponent was Cao Wei's elite cavalry. His men were all Han army recruits, but the equipment given to him was the most advanced Eight Ox Crossbow in the world. The Eight Ox Crossbow position was guarded by infantry armor.

As soon as Wang Zhi finished speaking, several spears suddenly came galloping towards him, and one of the spears actually pierced the side of a war horse.

This is the arrangement made by Xia Houru.

After saying that, the cavalry in front began to raise their spears and prepare for the charge.

Not long after, the Wei army's cavalry crossed the path of the pond in front and entered a golden wheat field that had been harvested.

The Wei army with cavalry will be more flexible in tactics and have more room for operation.

The war horse seemed to feel the passion of its master, and began to stamp its front hooves hard, making bursts of neighing sounds.

The Han army without a defensive formation could not withstand the charge of the Wei army's cavalry.

The horses panted heavily from time to time. Wang Zhi, the leader of the Wei cavalry, shouted loudly: "Soldiers, there are Shu thieves in front of us. Listen to my orders later and charge with me!"

"General, there are Shu troops one mile ahead!" Before charging, several scouts sent the information over at this time.

Under the blazing sun, the fully armed infantrymen looked like iron men standing upright.

Large areas of blood spurted out, exuding a pungent smell of blood.

Some of the other guns passed through the gap under the horse's belly and were nailed to the ground, and some shot the cavalry on the horse.

The frogs in the pond were hiding under the lotus leaves and could hear the beating of iron hooves. The yellow dog crouched on the edge and shivered.

To be precise, it was getting closer and closer to the Han army's flank.

There, the battlefield is getting closer and closer.

The war horse whined and fell to the ground, and the cavalry on top also fell down. His left leg was pinned by the war horse, and he let out a heart-rending wail.

"Hahaha! The Shu thieves have no cavalry!" Wang Zhi laughed twice and tightened the reins. Their goal was to quickly overwhelm the Han army's front army and help the Wei army's front army win the war. "An empty defense will not work..." "

The long summer wind crossed the waves on the river, rolled up the lush grass, and caused the red tassels on the soldiers' heads to fly.

The mutation happened so quickly that no one knew what was happening.

As long as they pass through this wheat field, they can speed up the attack on the Han army's flanks and defeat the Han army's front army in one battle.

At this time, the front army of the Han army and the front army of the Wei army were still fighting on the wide flat ground.

The war horses seemed to sense the danger and became restless.

"what happened……"

Wang Zhi was shocked.

Some other cavalrymen just looked in the direction where the spears were flying, only to see dozens of spears flying towards them.

The sharp spear head, with a cold luster flowing in the sunlight, rushed into the group of war horses in an instant.

With that terrifying force, the spear once again penetrated the horse's belly, shattering the internal organs in the horse's belly, and penetrated most of it with a wave of blood.

Thick blood sprayed all over the surrounding cavalry.

Because the Wei cavalry was too concentrated and the target was too large, the hit rate of the Eight Ox Crossbow was greatly improved.

This time it was not one horse that fell, nor two or three, but dozens of horses!

The scene was like a sudden metal rainstorm, which smashed the Wei army's cavalry into pieces.

The impact also crushed another piece.

After a dozen cavalrymen died, thirty or forty cavalrymen were knocked down, and the cavalrymen fell off their horses one after another, quickly causing a huge shock. Wang Zhi was frightened and flew in the direction of the spear.

When he looked over, he saw a dozen more spears approaching in an instant, flying about half a foot away from the ground.

The screams sounded again.

At this time, Wang Zhicai reacted. His whole body was numb, and he instinctively turned the horse's head and waved the whip with all his strength.

Wang Zhi ran away!

In front of all the soldiers, the general ran away!

You know, when three thousand cavalry are spread out, the range is very large.

The attack surface of the Han army was not large, and less than a hundred cavalry were affected, which happened to be near Wang Zhina.

But the cavalry behind or on the flanks had no time to know what happened.

Some people just heard some vague screams.

Just now the whole army was in high spirits, but now the general is galloping on his horse.

The Wei cavalry's eyes widened and they were unable to react for a while.

General! Are you running in the wrong direction?

Wang Zhi: There is no mistake! Look at me and run with me! quick!

The Wei cavalry group soon became confused.

"General, the Wei cavalry has withdrawn!" the scout shouted.

"Keep shooting!" Guan Tong suddenly felt proud and full of achievements.

The general is still awesome!

Following the general, military glory can be obtained so easily!

The Han troops in the Nugong camp also became excited.

One by one, the long guns were placed in the arrow troughs. Each Eight Ox Crossbow was equipped with more than thirty soldiers pulling the rope at the same time, and the Eight Ox Crossbow made a dull sound one after another.

The spear was fired again, like a flying sword, rushing into the panicked group of Wei cavalry.

The Wei cavalry were like wheat blown down by the wind in a field, falling piece by piece.

I don't know how many times it was fired, but in the end nearly three hundred cavalry were left here, and the rest scattered and fled in terror.

Li Heng at the top of the city could see this scene clearly, and so could everyone else.

"Okay!" Dong Hong couldn't help shouting.

The others cheered.

"General, it seems difficult for our front army to defeat the Wei army's front army." Lu Zhi couldn't help but say.

"Our army has never fought such a frontal battle before. It is already good to have reached this point." Li Heng said calmly and calmly.

Not long after, Xia Houru, who had already commanded the main force to approach Jiangling, learned that the cavalry had been repelled.

He asked in surprise: "How could the Shu army scare away the main force of the cavalry before my cavalry attacked?"

Wang Zhi said: "Captain, the Shu army has magic soldiers!"

"Nonsense! It's clear that you are leading the army poorly. Someone comes and drags this man down and beheads him!"

"Captain, the general is unjust. There are soldiers in the Shu army. Commander..."

Wang Zhi was dragged down and beheaded.

Xia Houru looked pale. He was always a timid person, but this time he finally mustered up the courage to make a move.

Unexpectedly, at the beginning, the cavalry made unfavorable progress.

But there is still good news. For example, the front army fought very bravely and almost defeated the Han army's front army.

If the Han army had not sent out elite powerful crossbows to support the Wei army from the flanks, and frightened the Wei army away, the Wei army would have won the infantry battle.

"The Shu army is nothing more than this!"
