I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 260: The charge of armored cavalry is unstoppable, and thousands of troops kill King Qiao (Chapter 5K5, happy May Day)

Time flies like water, the sky is getting darker, and the afterglow of the setting sun fills the battlefield, dyeing every inch of the land golden.

Against this golden background, the Han soldiers tensed up and their tired footsteps echoed in the wilderness. After an afternoon of fierce fighting, they finally arrived at a wide river.

This river is like a silver ribbon, stretching across the land, sparkling and reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun.

The Han soldiers looked at the enemy on the other side. They knew very well that only by crossing this river could they continue to advance.

Only when they reached the plains and relied on the counties and cities there could they feel a little more at ease and wait for reinforcements, waiting for the arrival of King Qin's army from various places.

However, the Wuhuan people obviously would not let them pass easily.

I saw that on the other side of the river, nearly ten thousand Wuhuan troops were waiting in formation on the other side. Their savage and fierce faces looked particularly ferocious under the setting sun.

"Haha, these Han troops are about to die!"

Su Puyan, the king of Qiao, looked at the embarrassed Han army on the other side and smiled happily:

On that narrow bridge, the Han army could not even organize any decent counterattack.

The Han army relied only on the power of bows and crossbows along the way.

Here, the Han soldiers crossing the river would be covered by the huge rain of arrows on both sides of the river, and they would be beaten to pieces.

He was well aware of the river's existence.

He made his final appearance here with 500 tiger warriors and 500 Bingzhou Hanhu knights.

This is the place where Su Puyan achieved fame and captured the Emperor of Han Dynasty!
By then, not only will the wealth and women on the Hebei Plain be at his disposal, but with this prestige, he will be able to easily become the king of all the Wuhuan people!
At that time, when the emperor of the Han Dynasty and the high-ranking officials and dignitaries were all captured by him, the Han family was in chaos.

The nearly 100 tall knights in white horses, red robes, and costumes who were the first to get on the bridge instantly captured the attention of everyone on both sides of the strait.

As for how to cross the river?
"These 300 pairs of horse armor are given to the Marquis of Guannei. I hope you and others can take advantage of the armor and cavalry to drive away the enemy's cavalry and create a good opportunity for our army to cross the river."

"As expected, it's that foolish king of Heavenly Death!"

Su Yao paused, waved his hand, and turned around and said:

With those terrifying crossbows, they often need to invest two or three times more troops in an area to even out the gap.

Infected by his self-confidence, the Wuhuan soldiers around him were also in high spirits, showing their determination to win.

As a result, their harassment along the way was mostly misdirected shots, which could only disturb but could not stop them.

As long as they cross this river and use the Han army's powerful bows and crossbows to block the way, the emperor's evacuation will be smooth sailing.

Su Puyan didn't say he wanted to conquer the world, but he supported a son-emperor who was obedient to him. Thinking about it, it wasn't that difficult.

Under the setting sun, the laughter of Su Puyan, the king of Wuhuanqiao, echoed on the river bank.

"Quickly equip your horse armor, brothers, let's set out - start cutting!"

"Report - the Han army is preparing to cross the bridge!"

So, when he heard the scouts' report and divided his troops in the afternoon, he was still careful, fearing that the Han troops would not go here and change their route halfway.

Following Su Yao's order, the knights led by Lu Bu, Xu Huang, Cheng Lian and others quickly equipped themselves with horse armor.

Lu Zhi, who was experienced and came from the Jizhou battlefield, certainly did not choose this path stupidly.

This wide river makes it impossible for people and horses to swim across it. There is only one stone bridge that can connect three horses to the two banks.

That’s 300 pairs of horse armor!
This made Su Yao happy.

Especially the first one, under the banner of Su, this red-robed knight has a bow and a sword on his back, and a huge spear of extremely long length in his hand. You can feel that force from a long distance away. The bone-chilling murderous intent!
Su Yao is here.

This time made King Wuhuanqiao feel frustrated and felt that he might not be able to keep the emperor's big meat.

"Don't worry, Lord Lu, I will be killed."

Everyone followed closely behind, stepping onto the bridge in high spirits one by one. Those who followed him as vanguard were the most capable cavalry generals gathered by Su Yao and the Red Cloud knights he had organized.

In an instant, all the unhappiness of waiting was forgotten.

What a perfect place to stop the attack!

The power of their bows and crossbows was suppressed to the greatest extent!
Hahaha!
Su Puyan, the king of Qiao, could not stop smiling as he stared at the bridge.

They waved the weapons in their hands and shouted King Qiao's name with loud voices, as if they had already embraced victory.

Their fate was sealed when the foolish emperor decided to take a shortcut and retreat along the official road.

And now.
Hahahahaha!
Take a look and take a look.

On the other side of the river, thousands of Han knights were lined up, stepping onto the bridge step by step under the sound of war drums.

However, now seeing these disgraced Han soldiers Su Puyan is extremely excited!

Before coming here, Su Buyan himself didn't know that there was such a favorable terrain to block the retreat of the Han army.

This was the moment when Lu Zhi promised him the final word!

Take a look at the river in front of you.

"It doesn't matter who he is, the general on the other side is dead anyway!"

"Haha, hahahaha!"

At this moment, Qiao King Su Puyan suddenly became condensed, his eyes were deep, and he whispered: "Armor Cavalry?"

After recuperating all day, now is the time for the decisive battle!
Under the afterglow of the setting sun and the thumping of war drums, the knights gradually increased their speed on the bridge, approaching step by step, following Su Yao and preparing for the final charge.

At this moment, Wuhuanqiao King Su Puyan no longer had any look of pride on his face.

He was simply shocked!
Su Puyan did not expect that the Han army had such elite armored cavalry.

Looking at the red-robed knights who had arrived at the center of the bridge, Su Buyan hurriedly ordered the shooters and rangers to use full firepower and shoot intensively.

At the same time, he also urgently ordered those brave warriors who had already dismounted in advance to line up at the bridgehead with spears to meet the enemy.

His command was calm and without any mistakes.

I saw an overwhelming rain of arrows, shooting straight away like raindrops, no one could escape!

However.
Woo—

Woohoo——

Amidst the roar of arrows, the sound of trumpets pierced the sky and resounded throughout the sky.

Under everyone's gaze, the Han army's armored cavalry suddenly increased their speed, and a torrent of crimson steel rolled in. The torrential rain of arrows hit them without any damage!

This fearless and unstoppable charge instantly filled the Wuhuan soldiers who were blocking them with fear.

Closer, closer.

In the trembling of the bridge, the Han cavalry came.

"Follow me - kill!" Su Yao shouted in a deep voice.

"Block them, block them!" Su Puyan shouted in shock.

However, it's all in vain:

"Who can stop me!!!"

I saw Su Yao's horse rolling up like a dragon's blood, flying past, and instantly easily penetrated several rows of Wuhuan spearmen arrayed at the bridge head.

And this wasn't over yet, Lu Bu's Fangtian Painted Halberd, Xu Huang's mountain-opening ax and Cheng Lian's sharp spear came one after another, with blood splattering and wails shaking the sky.

In one breath, this red torrent penetrated the formation of the Wuhuan warriors. Su Yao alone killed more than ten people in this charge.

There were even three people strung up in strings on the long horse stall, hanging high on it!

"Destroying the enemy's formation with force is like looking at the sky breaking through the clouds!"

With just one charge, the steel torrent of the Chiyun Knights instantly defeated the Wuhuan warriors defending the bridge.

Listening to the deafening screams of killing and escaping, Su Yao showed no mercy. He just flicked Ma Shan away. After getting rid of these burdens, he didn't even turn around to look behind him, but looked around directly. Find a new charge target.

In an instant, King Wuhuan Qiao, who was surrounded by people and was riding on a tall horse, with gorgeous armor, wide eyes, and a pale face, immediately attracted Su Yao's attention.

"How can this be?"

"The former army is defeated now?"

"No, no no no no!"

Wuhuan Qiao King Su Puyan, the leader of Wuhuan who was once confident and thought he had a chance to win, now looked pale, his lips were trembling, and his eyes were full of uneasiness and fear.

He never expected that the nearly a thousand dismounted spearmen he arranged would be pierced by a charge.

The fighting power of these red-robed knights is far superior to those of their white-horse followers in Liaodong!
Damn it, those people in the lead were completely unscathed and no one could stop them!

Is this the power of the Han Forbidden Army?
At the same time, King Wuhuanqiao was not the only one who had such doubts.

On the west bank of the river, under a golden umbrella, the emperor who was also watching the battle also exclaimed:
"Is my big Han cavalry so brave?"

Although the emperor didn't understand soldiers, he had never been on the battlefield.

But the scene in front of him shocked him even more. He felt his blood surge and wanted to pull out his sword and fight and shout!

These red-robed knights descended the mountain like fierce tigers. The Wuhuan warriors who had come to show off their power in front of him today seemed to be like paper in front of these knights, and they collapsed at the first touch.

The spearmen that were so densely covered at the bridge, which had made him extremely nervous before, were actually seen through.

So happy, so happy!
With this killer weapon in hand, Lu Zhi actually made me worry and fear for a whole day!

In response to the emperor's questions and doubts, Lu Zhi paused. He looked at the officials around him who were also deeply shocked, considered for a moment, and said:
"It's true that my burly knight is extremely brave."

"But the success of this charge is also due to the bravery and skill of Guannei Hou and his men."

"However, the most important thing is that His Majesty is able to remain calm in the face of danger and sit firmly in the center of the army, which is a great encouragement to our officers and soldiers."

Liu Hong laughed three times, finally took out his sword, held it tightly and said:
"I, now it can be considered that I have truly conquered it myself!"

The battle was going well, the emperor was elated, and the ministers were also beaming with joy, cheering with rainbow farts.

Only the general He Jin next to him had a changeable expression and mixed emotions. He is a general, but this time, it has nothing to do with him. He has his name on it just like the emperor.

The one who actually took command was Lu Zhi, and the one who stepped forward to charge was Su Yao.

Just as he was trying to calm down, suddenly there was another exclamation from the ministers.

He Jin looked up and saw that the Wuhuan people on the river bank had launched a fierce offensive!

It seems that they found that their comrades on the other side were not able to support them, and wanted to attack from a flank and provide support!
At this moment, Liu Hong suddenly waved his sword excitedly and shouted:
"Kill the enemy!
Those who kill the enemy's commander will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and be granted the title of Marquis of Pavilion! "

Liu Hong was emotional.

Although he cannot go into battle to kill the enemy, he cannot march and form a formation.

But it doesn’t matter, he can still feel a sense of participation!
For a moment, with the emperor's loud shout, the entire Han army position was boiling.

Everyone shouted in unison.

"Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy! Kill the enemy!"

The sound is like a tidal wave, shaking the surrounding areas, and the morale is like a rainbow, soaring into the sky!
At this moment, I was inspired by the victory of Su Yao and others on the other side, and felt the emperor's enthusiasm and determination.

All the soldiers of the Han army burst out with fierce shouts, fought bravely against the enemy, tenaciously resisted the attack of Wuhuan riders, and defended their glory with their blood and lives.

Amidst the shouting of drums and horns, the morale of the Han army was high.

On the east bank of the river, the armored cavalry led by Su Yao are also invincible!
More and more knights crossed the bridge, and they rampaged along the road opened by Su Yao and others.

"Stop them, stop them quickly!"

"Otherwise, we'll be doomed!"

Wuhuan leader, who was responsible for blocking the bridgehead, held his head and shouted.

He had never seen such a terrible impact.

Their spearmen were scattered before they could act as a hindrance.

Now, if we don't seal the road quickly and let the hundreds of Han knights on the bridge rush over, the consequences will be disastrous!
However, no one could carry out his orders.

"I can't stop it, I can't stop it at all!"

"It's too strong, I can't beat it!"

"No, spare my life!"

If Su Yao is determined to move forward, he will never look back until he reaches his goal.

Lu Bu was a cunning tiger that descended from the mountain.

After following Su Yao and breaking away from the spear phalanx, Cavalry Lu Bu whistled, led half of the cavalry to turn their horses, and launched a second charge towards the frightened Wuhuan troops at the bridge head, destroying the formation of the Wuhuan soldiers. Tear into pieces.

The sound of horse hooves is as loud as thunder.

Amidst the deafening shouts of killing, Lu Bu's painted halberd flashed with cold light, and he fought from the east end back to the west end. With one swing of the halberd, he easily killed the Wuhuan leader who was jumping around, and the Wuhuan leader who was already in chaos was killed. The soldiers were completely defeated.

Then, right in front of him, batches of Huben knights jumped off the bridge and joined the battlefield with their spears raised.

They followed the east bank of the river, and the red clouds under the setting sun swept across all directions without stopping.

The Wuhuan warriors, who were several times their own, were dying in front of these Han knights, dying in droves.

"Eh-"

"I can't beat him, I can't beat him at all!"

"Your Majesty, run away!"

Qiao King Su Puyan stared with big eyes and tightly grasped the long knife in his hand.

Compared with the blow of the bridge instantly collapsing, the bravery of the red-robed general in front of him, who led a few dozen cavalry and charged straight at him, was even more frightening to him.

The brave knight, who was dancing with a huge horse and leading the charge, took the lead in penetrating his blocking phalanx. He was like no one in the midst of his thousands of troops.

The general took the lead and danced the horse in his hand so tightly that more than one Wuhuan warrior fell down every time he waved it.

In just a short while, he killed three of his generals in a row, stepped on the corpses of countless people, and rushed straight towards him without looking back.

Horrible, terrible.

It can't be fought, it really can't be fought.

It's irreversible.

"Your Majesty, leave quickly!" The loyal guard captain shouted loudly and rushed forward again, trying to give King Qiao a chance to escape.

Su Puyan's eyes were red, he gritted his teeth and turned his horse back, swinging the whip fiercely at the horse's butt.

Run fast, you must run fast.

Fortunately, Su Buyan does not have so many heroic ambitions and persistence.

There is no shame in running away if you can't beat them.

Of course, this kind of thinking is also a big reason why they collapsed so quickly.

Back to the present moment, after mentioning the speed of the horse, Su Buyan's nervous heart was somewhat relieved.

Su Buyan knew very well that although the armored cavalry were powerful, their weakness was speed. He rode a fast horse lightly and had no problem escaping with his life in the melee.

He wanted to quickly take a detour back to the other side, gather the defeated troops, and join King Qiu Liju.

While thinking about the arrangements for coming down, he looked back to confirm the direction of his escape.

However, the moment he looked back
A sharp arrow flew towards him like a meteor falling to the ground and pierced directly between his eyebrows.

There was a pop.

Su Puyan, the king of Qiao, fell off his horse with big eyes of horror and disbelief.

I had no idea what was going on. How could I die so easily? !

"Bad fish, you still want to run away?"

Su Yao came on horseback, then penetrated Su Buyan's gorgeously dressed body with a spear, lifted it up high, and shouted:

"The enemy general is awarded the head, the whole army attacks the duck!"

Under this loud shout, the Han army suddenly burst into a loud shout. Everyone seemed to have been beaten to death. They stared with blood-red eyes and slashed wildly, shouting:

"The enemy general is dead, the enemy general is dead!"

"Charge, kill!"

"Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!"

The death of Su Puyan, the king of Qiao, greatly inspired the Han army. Su Yao's figure holding the enemy general's corpse high on the battlefield greatly shocked the Wuhuan soldiers.

They saw their leader beheaded in the blink of an eye, and fear surged into their hearts like a tide.

"The king is dead!"

"Our army is defeated!"

"Run, run!"

Amid the shouts of killing, more and more Wuhuan soldiers began to throw off their helmets and armor and fled in all directions.

"Don't leave a piece of armor behind, don't let an enemy go!"

Su Yao shouted and pointed the horse in his hand at the fleeing Wuhuan warriors.

Su Yao didn't need to shout, the Han knights had already taken action.

Like wolves and tigers, they launched a fierce attack on the defeated Wuhuan army, chasing them to the north.

On the battlefield on the east bank of the river, the sounds of horse hooves, shouts of death, and the clashing of weapons came and went, like a heroic symphony that kept echoing.

At the same time, Emperor Liu Hong on the west bank of the river also saw this scene clearly.

Especially the sight of Su Yao holding the corpse of the enemy general high and running among the rebels was deeply imprinted in his eyes.

After confirming from the messenger that the one who killed the enemy general was Su Yao, the emperor excitedly waved the sword in his hand and shouted "Well done!"

He looked around and saw that not only the other side had won, but the Wuhuan riders on his own side also saw that the situation was not good and began to retreat, and then he was completely relieved.

Then, under the golden sunset, Liu Hong raised his head, raised his sword high, and shouted: "The Han army is mighty! The Han will win!"

"The Han army is mighty!"

"The big man will win!"

"The emperor must win!"

Sounds of cheers and cheers resounded on both sides of the river. The soldiers waved their weapons, shouted slogans, and continued to charge. Their morale reached its peak.

At this moment, no matter it was the civil and military officials, the eunuchs, maids, or the princes and princesses, everyone was infected by the atmosphere of victory and shocked by the emperor's excitement.

They shouted and applauded, rejoicing for this huge victory.

Even Zhang Rang, He Jin and others had no choice but to join in the loud cheers at this moment. Only the flash of unwillingness in their eyes left them with the last bit of unwillingness and stubbornness.

However, Su Yao on the battlefield had no time to take care of this, and he didn't care either.

After confirming that the enemy's morale was completely gone, Su Yao simply changed his horse on the battlefield and led the Han knights in a crazy pursuit.

Under the bloody setting sun, the knights of the Han army, who were less than 2,000, chased the Wuhuan army, which still had about 7,000, and stabbed and stabbed them all the way. The heads of the Han army were rolling and the blood flowed like rivers.

It wasn't until night fell and everyone had to light torches to light the way that they stopped their frenzied killing and returned to the team.

This battle once again ended in a glorious victory for the Han army with a small number and a large number.

As a result, all the Wuhuan warriors on the east bank of the river were eliminated and expelled, and they successfully crossed the river, and the road back to Pingyuan County was clear.
