The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 46
The iron hoofs of [-] Bingzhou cavalry continued to trample on the ground. Although Li Yuan was still [-] steps away from the Bingzhou army, he could still feel the momentum of the Bingzhou cavalry charging. escape.

It was also the first time for the Runan soldiers to face the charge of the cavalry. Although they had received training from Li Yuan, training and facing them were two different things. At this moment, many soldiers were nervous, and some were even sweating. But they really couldn't blame them, after all, the momentum of the [-] cavalry charging was so amazing that even Li Yuan was amazed, let alone ordinary soldiers.

"Calm down! Keep your spirits up, what do you look like in a panic, we won't lose with the lord here!" Huang Zhong rode his horse and ran back and forth in front of the formation and shouted, and there were many in his shouts The soldiers gradually calmed down, not as flustered as before.Many soldiers were thinking that their lord was the invincible Li Yuan and Li Wenzhong, and that Lu Bu was so powerful because he was defeated by the lord.

Li Yuan greatly appreciated Huang Zhong's actions. He deserved to be one of the famous Five Tiger Generals in "history".

Seeing that Lu Bu's army was still two hundred steps away from his side, Li Yuan began to order: "Archers, shoot upwards, target the enemy cavalry!"

The four thousand archers of Li Yuan's army took out their bows and arrows at the same time and shot upwards at Lv Bu's army. Thousands of arrows swarmed across the sky like locusts and fell straight into Lv Bu's army. There was a trace of confusion in the vanguard of Lv Bu's army, at least 300 Many people were shot down.

In fact, it is unrealistic to shoot Lu Bu soldiers and horses with only bows and arrows, but at this time the biggest role of bows and arrows is not to cause casualties but to create chaos. You must know that the cavalry charge is very fast, but as long as some of them are confused It will affect the soldiers and horses behind, and may even cause chaos.

Seeing the effect of the bow and arrow, Li Yuan continued to order: "Archers shoot freely!"

The soldiers started shooting one after another after being ordered. This kind of intensive shooting basically does not require much skill, because Lu Bu's army and horses are very dense. It can be said that anyone who is not particularly unlucky can shoot the opponent's horses.

At this time, Gongsun Zan's [-] white horse Yicong also began to move out. Instead of attacking Lv Bu's army's Bingzhou iron cavalry head-on, they followed Li Yuan's order to conduct a guerrilla attack from the side to create chaos for Lv Bu's army.

"The whole army listens to the order! It's time for our Baima Yicong to go out. Let the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry see the power of our Baima Yicong and let them know who is the number one cavalry in the world!" Gongsun Zan rode his horse into action. Yi Cong followed in his footsteps and set off. He led the soldiers and horses to run on the flanks of Lu Bu's army, and when they were approaching, he immediately ordered to ride and shoot.

"Shhhhhhh!" Countless arrows shot out, it is no exaggeration to say that it is more spectacular than Li Yuan's arrow rain. In terms of technology, Baima Yicong's riding and shooting is better than Li Yuan's. In the late Han Dynasty, only Gongsun Zan's Baima Yicong knew how to ride and shoot. Since Gongsun Zan was defeated by Yuan Shao, this unique skill of riding and shooting has also been lost.

Under the shooting of the Runan Army and Baima Yicong's alternate cavalry shooting, the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry under Lu Bu's command was in chaos one after another. At least 4000 people were shot off their horses. In fact, being shot would not be fatal, but if they were shot off their horses It only takes a moment to be trampled into flesh by the horses beside him. This is the most terrifying place. Therefore, as long as the cavalry is charging, once the rider falls off the horse, he must be close to death.

In addition to those who were shot off their horses, there were also many people who were shot with arrows. Although they did not endanger their lives, they also caused a lot of damage. The pain on their bodies would cause certain damage to their combat power.

Seeing such a scene, Lu Bu felt very annoyed. Because he was in a hurry to support Hulao Pass, he didn't let his cavalry wear shields when they came out of Luoyang. All, but there is no medicine for regret, Lu Bu can only hold back his anger in his heart now.

"Fengxian, compared to Li Yuan's soldiers and horses, Gongsun Zan's white horse righteousness is more difficult to deal with. If we continue to let him ride and shoot and harass us, we will definitely cause more casualties. Why don't I lead some soldiers and horses to resist Gongsun Zan. "Zhang Liao realized the danger of Baima Yicong, so he wanted to lead some soldiers to resist, otherwise they would be finished sooner or later if Baima Yicong shot like this.

"In this case, you lead eight thousand soldiers to deal with Gongsun Zan, and I will come back to support you after I have dealt with Li Yuan." Lu Bu agreed with Zhang Liao's proposal.So Zhang Liao led [-] Bingzhou cavalry to the left, marching towards Gongsun Zan's white horse righteousness.

"Hahahaha, is Lu Bu afraid of my white horse righteousness, and wants to divide his troops to deal with me, so let me play with you." Seeing Zhang Liao leading the troops to attack, Gongsun Zan was not in a hurry, and looked at the soldiers under his command He ordered, "Lu Bu sent troops to deal with us. We don't have to fight them head-on. The soldiers under his command obeyed the order. Later, we will throw them off at the speed of light cavalry and let them chase after us. At the same time, prepare to ride and shoot, so that he and the state army can see Look how powerful our Baima Yicong is."

Gongsun Zan led Bai Mayi to wander around, and Zhang Liao behind him chased after him. The soldiers and horses of the two quickly left the combat range of Lu Bu's army and Li Yuan's army.Without Gongsun Zan's Baima Yicong to restrain him from the side, Lu Bu's army charged faster and was not as chaotic as it was at the beginning.

Xu Zhu noticed the situation on the field and said to Li Yuan: "My lord, Gongsun Zan is being chased by Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses. Do we need to help?"

Li Yuan squinted his eyes to observe the movement of Gongsun Zan's army carefully, and replied: "No need, Gongsun Zan's white horse righteousness is famous all over the world. Since he has been able to fight against the Huns for many years, he has a whole body of skills. Zhang Liao can't take advantage of him. Gongsun Zan's side We don't need to worry too much, the most important thing now is to face Lu Bu."

As Gongsun Zan led his troops away, Lu Bujun was already very close to Li Yuan's Runan soldiers and horses. Li Yuan saw the opportunity and ordered: "The archers obey the order, put away their bows and arrows and replace them with swords and shields, and the soldiers in the front row go forward and pull them up." Tripping the rope, the soldiers of the Tiger Guard Battalion pull out the heavy dragon gun for me!"

Following Li Yuan's orders one after another, a thousand soldiers inserted the tripping ropes that had been prepared in advance into the ground, waiting for the arrival of Lu Bujun.

The soldiers of the Tiger Guards Battalion pulled out their heavy dragon guns from behind. The so-called heavy dragon guns were actually elongated long guns. Each dragon gun was two feet long with extremely sharp tips. There was a tripod under the guns for support. , the tail of the gun can be inserted into the ground to resist the impact of cavalry. The heavy dragon gun built by Li Yuan is specially used to deal with cavalry charges.

Thousands of heavy dragon spears lined up in front of the formation gave Li Yuanjun a little more confidence. The hard and sharp spear points made people shudder, and they were most suitable for dealing with cavalry.

Lu Bu couldn't help sweating when he saw the heavy dragon gun launched by Li Yuan. If he hit the heavy dragon gun with the power of a cavalry charge, he would only end up as a skewer. He never expected Li Yuan to have such a skill. It was the first time he had seen such a targeted weapon, but it was impossible to stop now. The only way was to use the cavalry's impact and numerical advantage to rush out a bloody path, otherwise they would only fail.

Bingzhou cavalry felled 4000 men under the shooting just now, and Zhang Liao took another 8000 men to chase after Gongsun Zan. At this time, the cavalry led by Lu Bu only had 6000 men. In fact, even he himself did not have enough confidence to break through the dragon spear. Seeing that the distance was getting closer and closer, Lu Bu had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "The whole army obeys the order, charge! Charge! Charge!"

"Charge! Charge! Charge!" Bingzhou iron cavalry shouted in unison, with a huge momentum, as if with an aura of death, Li Yuan was also moved when he saw it.

"Pull up the tripping rope!" Li Yuan shouted loudly, not convinced. His voice was not weaker than that of Lu Bu. The soldiers who controlled the tripping rope immediately took action when they heard the order, and tied the tripping rope to the surrounding trees and stones.

The moment the tripping rope appeared, the cavalry in the front row were tripped immediately, the horses neighed in pain, the cavalry was overturned on the ground, and the moment they landed, they were trampled into a pulp by the soldiers and horses behind.Just for a while, more than 3000 soldiers and horses fell.
