  Chapter 2094 True or False Cavalry

Seeing Hu Qi rushing forward, the Jiangdong soldiers stared wide-eyed, and then turned their heads to look at the high platform. After all, only Zhou Yu had the experience of fighting cavalry before, and he also had a record of victory. Some people have no experience in fighting cavalry directly, especially ordinary soldiers.

Cheng Pu and other veterans are better, like Pan Zhang, Xu Sheng and others, basically failed in cavalry combat, and they don't understand it. Can't help changing color on my face!

   This is true for generals and schools, let alone small soldiers. The uncontrollable sound of panic sounded from Jiangdong's army formation, and the shock brought by the sound of rolling horseshoes made everyone present feel that it was difficult to stand still, as if they were about to be thrown into the air in the next moment.

The Jiangdong soldiers who couldn't react in time were inevitably a little confused. Some people watched the tall horse rushing and subconsciously wanted to escape, while some shouted to gather for defense, and they collided with each other. At the same time, the panic in the array increased again.

  In Cao Jun's camp, Cao Ren laughed loudly, pointed to the high platform where Zhou Yu was, and shouted: "Who still has Yu Yong to spare?" Can you be the leader of the Jiangdong enemy chiefs? ! 』

  Cao Zhen and Han Hao stood up almost at the same time and responded loudly.

  Cao Ren nodded and said, "Both of you are warriors!" Now that strong support has arrived, the moment to defeat the enemy is now! Let's tidy up the queue first, and wait for a certain order, then all three will go out together to take the head of the enemy chieftain and make immortal achievements! 』

  In the camp of Cao Jun, there was the sound of shouting in unison. The veins on everyone's necks were exposed, and they were gnashing their teeth, as if they were about to rush out to devour Jiangdong's flesh and blood in the next moment.

   But Cao Ren knew that, despite the appearance of the remaining soldiers in Cao Jun's camp, they looked very fierce, but in fact they were empty inside. If you can't attack at the most critical moment, go out too early and fall into the siege of Jiangdong soldiers, maybe you will lose even the last chance of victory!

  At the moment, we can only wait, wait, wait for the arrival of the final attack window!

  On the high platform on the other side, Zhou Yu looked at the surging Hu Qi, and suddenly felt a jump in his heart, "It's the Wuhuan people..."

  The Wuhuan people came to take revenge...

Zhou Yu planned to burn a group of Wuhuan people to death before. Although it is said that the death of Tadun has something to do with Cao Cao, the problem is that Zhou Yu was the one who did the murder, so the Wuhuan people naturally hate Zhou Yu more than Cao Cao. .

Although Zhou Yu also wanted to say when and what happened, but at the moment he had to deal with the rushing Hu cavalry. Even Zhou Yu didn't want to be distracted by the movement in Cao Jun's camp. Looking to the north, watching the Wuhuan cavalry roaring towards them, they gave orders repeatedly to deploy troops to meet the enemy.

  The order was issued, but because the main attack direction of all the Jiangdong Army was facing Cao Jun’s camp before, now it is necessary to change the direction of the array, and the transfer is a bit slow...

  Furthermore, the large formation in the army faces the north, and there is another problem, which means that the Jiangdong soldiers have entered a "last stand" situation to some extent.

There are certainly some successful cases in history, and they have been written by historians of the past dynasties, but the "successful cases" written by these historians of military strategists are not to say that as long as they see water, they can die. The pawns inspire the BUFF of the last stand, but warn others to pay more attention to the cause and effect of the success of the last stand.

  No matter from which aspect, Jiangdong soldiers are far from reaching the embarrassing situation where they need to fight with their backs.

After all, the Dangyang River is not an insurmountable moat. Even if there are no boats to ferry the pontoon bridge and it is destroyed, Jiangdong soldiers can still swim across it. In addition, the Jiangdong camp is not damaged. It is not impossible to retreat, but It's just a question of how much to lose. So when Jiangdong's soldiers switched formations, it just meant that the formation of Jiangdong's soldiers lost its flexibility, which made it more troublesome, and did not have much effect of stimulating the soldiers' fighting spirit.

"etc! Dudu, let's see! ”Cheng Pu suddenly pointed to the smoke and dust rising in the distance, “Then... what is that? ! 』

  Zhou Yu looked intently, and then her heart shrank suddenly!

  『This... how is this possible? ! 』

  In the distance, amidst the dust raised by the Wuhuan cavalry, a flag was raised high, and that flag was obviously different from the Han army flag used by Cao Jun. It was the tricolor flag!

  The tricolor flag of the Hussars!

  A moment later, the generals and school officers on and off Jiangdongtai also saw this situation, and couldn't help turning livid and looking at each other.

   Is this true, or is it false?

If this is really a hussar, then it means that Zhou Yu's judgment on Cao Jun may have been biased, and once Cao Jun really joins forces with the hussars, for Jiangdong, it is no different if he wants to seek the northern part of Jingzhou Like ascending to the sky! It can't be said that even Jingnan is difficult to maintain!

  The concealment of the tricolor flag before, maybe it is because Fei Qian and Cao Cao have conditions and have not agreed on something? Did he intentionally lure Jiang Dong out until he was in the current predicament? !

  Pan Zhang squinted his eyes, and the eyeballs kept moving from side to side. Compared with ordinary generals and generals, he has more thoughts, that is, the issue of positioning. Well, it cannot be said that Pan Zhang is the only one. Most of the generals in Jiangdong are facing this problem, it just depends on how to choose.

Pan Zhang is a general directly promoted by Sun Quan, so his interests are basically directly linked to Sun Quan's. The reason why Pan Zhang will obey Zhou Yu's assignment and arrangement is only because Zhou Yu's previous strategy is also for the benefit of Sun Quan. Work hard, but if Zhou Yu makes a mistake in judgment, it may cause a heavy loss?

  Then if it happens, do you want to...

  In the battlefield, sometimes you can't think too much. If you think too much, the subordinates will inevitably slow down. Pan Zhang's troops naturally shrank even more, and even got a little closer to the Dangyang River, as if they were about to grab the pontoon bridge and turn around and leave in the next moment.

  『Meet the enemy! Turn to meet the enemy! 』On the high platform above the Jiangdong army formation, the flag was still shaking vigorously, expressing Zhou Yu's tenacious and unyielding fighting intention, but this fighting intention was not effectively conveyed. There were not a few people who behaved like Pan Zhang on the battlefield, so The morale of Jiangdong's soldiers as a whole, before the new troops, melted quickly like ice and snow meeting a scorching sun, and soon they couldn't even catch them...

  Especially after seeing the "hussar cavalry" with the tricolor flag.

  At any point in the history of cold wars, when well-equipped cavalry with heavy armor appeared on the battlefield, it would give the opponent a huge shock and threat.

When the Jiangdong soldiers saw that under the three-color flag, those cavalry in uniform advancing neatly, rolling forward like an iron wall, they felt like meat about to be crushed... no, beans about to be squeezed Like rapeseed, I couldn't help howling in fear!

The barbarian cavalry screamed and attacked on the two wings, but now not many people pay attention to these barbarians, because coming from the north, the armored cavalry that is slowly accelerating is almost like a magnet, firmly attracted All eyes!

Every armored cavalry has put down their visors, and there seem to be some hideous patterns on the visors. This is the same as the rumored hussars, and it seems to prove that this is the hussars A cavalry in the army! These armored cavalrymen are brightly armored, and there are some decorated red tassels on their pockets. They are rippling slightly in the air with the ups and downs of the horses, like neat steel waves, slapping straight towards the Jiangdong soldiers!

  In the eyes of the Jiangdong generals and soldiers, who else could such a majestic cavalry be but the big Han hussars?

This is real!

   It's really a hussar!

In the mind of General Jiangdong, a thought suddenly popped up, these armored cavalry can be seen to be very expensive at first glance, and in order to support Cao Jun, the big Han hussars can take out such a frightening cavalry casually. The armored cavalry come...

   So if the big Han hussar Fei Qian used all his strength, how many soldiers and horses would there be? How many mounted cavalry? !

If they hadn't fought Cao Jun's camp before, perhaps the Jiangdong soldiers could still fight the cavalry from the north with their courage and blood, but now although the Jiangdong soldiers almost turned Cao Jun's camp into a refugee camp, the same is true for Cao Jun's camp. Jiangdong's own soldiers had a lot of consumption. Jiangdong's soldiers are also mortal, and it is inevitable that their muscles and bones will be exhausted. Now they are suddenly stunned by the cavalry, and their morale is shaken. Some people are even timid. training and orders!

  In a blink of an eye, the armored cavalry crashed into the formation of Jiangdong soldiers, and the loud shouts and screams erupted at this moment, rushing straight into the sky!

Although Jiangdong's soldiers lined up, it was a pity that they were not thick. After all, Jiangdong never thought that there would be a large-scale cavalry in the north. Such a defensive formation would be difficult to fight against the barbarians' cavalry, let alone the straight masked cavalry. The cavalry is up!

Scattered arrows struck and landed on the armor of the cavalry, most of them clanging and falling, and a few of them stuck on the thick armor, still unable to stop their charging footsteps . The so-called intensive shooting of Jiangdong archers is like shooting a lonely shot, which is useless and has no effect.

It seems that in an instant, the guard line in the northeast of Jiangdong, which was originally lined up, looks like a fake white iron chassis. It looks okay, but it is bent and deformed when it is lightly touched. The officers and generals roared loudly, and there was no way to maintain the array.

  Especially on the line where the armed cavalry charged, I don’t know how many Jiangdong soldiers were stabbed and hacked to death, how many bodies were trampled under the hooves of the horses, and how many lives disappeared in this instant!

Under the protection of thick armor, ordinary swords and guns can't break through the defense at all, so even if there are some courageous Jiangdong soldiers who attack the armed cavalry, they often only bring out some sparks, at most flying a piece or two A piece of armor, it doesn't help at all! unstoppable!

In a blink of an eye, I don’t know how many Jiangdong soldiers were knocked down by the equipped cavalry, and then trampled under the hooves of the horses. The horses, cavalry and armor, the overall weight caught up with the small vehicles of later generations, and collided with the flesh at a speed of more than 40 miles. If it bumps into an arm, leg, or foot, it will be broken immediately; if it hits the chest and abdomen, you will only hear a crackling sound, the sternum and ribs are all sunken, and the internal organs are crushed to pieces!

  During the collision, some armored cavalry fell off their horses, but it was obvious that Jiangdong soldiers were more casualties. These armored cavalry rushed forward, and some cavalry had already thrown their spears and drew their knives, and they were slashing headlessly. With the help of horsepower, the long knives passed by, and blood gushed out immediately! Stampede and rush, it is a **** road to hell!

Jiangdong soldiers screamed, shouted, and became more and more terrified, so that some people began to stagger and squeeze back, trampling their ranks into chaos, so within a short time of about a stick of incense, Jiangdong soldiers in the north The guard array was broken by these armored cavalry!

After breaking through the guard array, the original thick array of armored cavalry was slightly deformed and loose, but in the eyes of the rest of the Jiangdong soldiers, these armored cavalry were still extremely terrifying, especially after the heavy armor was stained with flesh and blood, the horses The white smoke rising from the man's breath behind the ferocious mask made people feel that these guys looked like ferocious beasts! A beast that devours flesh and blood!

Before these Jiangdong soldiers recovered from their fear, the guard array of Jiangdong soldiers who were broken through was rushed in by the following barbarian cavalry in a blink of an eye. They became more and more chaotic and crowded into a group, and then cried for their father and mother in a blink of an eye. scattered in all directions.

The archers on the back line of the guard array, the feathered arrows shot towards the armored cavalry, only made a little noise when they hit the heavy armor, without much lethality, and then saw the armored cavalry getting closer, and finally Howled out one after another, dropped their bows and arrows in fear and fled in all directions!

Every armor equipped with cavalry is covered with blood and sporadic pieces of meat, like small pieces of meat shaved from a big bone stick, with all kinds of tendons and cartilage, hanging on the weight The exterior of armor makes people feel scared when they see it...

  The outfitted cavalry looked ferocious on the outside, but in fact, after a long-distance attack and a fierce charge, both the rider and the horse were panting heavily at this moment.

Therefore, when the armored cavalry collided with Zhou Yu's Chinese army array head-on, the impact force was not very strong. After the initial shock, the soldiers of the Jiangdong Chinese army were elite after all, and most of them were battle-hardened. The veterans were not so easy to collapse. Under Zhou Yu's order, they fought hard to surround them from all directions, as if they wanted to use their lives and flesh and blood to defeat and completely submerge these armored cavalry!

  『Can’t stop! Forward, forward! 』Cao Xiu kicked the horse's belly vigorously under the visor, urging the horse to move forward. The horse under his crotch itself was also a good horse. Even though it was a little exhausted, it still rushed forward!

  Behind Cao Xiu, Cao Jun’s disguised hussars and cavalry also knew that if they were really surrounded, they would lose their greatest advantage, so they followed Cao Xiu with all their strength, and rushed to the high platform amidst the crowds...

In fact, Cao Xiu imitated the hussars and the cavalry, which was more of a shape, and he didn't learn the essence of it at all. Although the cavalry with the cavalry is extremely powerful, if it fails to charge, it will be extremely miserable. It is said that after the war horse loses speed, it is pulled off by the enemy soldiers, even if it wants to climb, it may not be able to climb up! Even if it is not trampled to death, even a small short blade can cause it to lose its life!

Fortunately, Cao Jun Cao Xiu and others have no experience, and Jiangdong soldiers have no experience in dealing with armored cavalry. Fumbling and inserting, each has its own pain, always feels a little different from what I originally imagined, but I can't tell what is wrong...

  At this moment, there was another loud cry of killing from the side of Cao Jun's camp, and all Cao Jun's soldiers in Cao Jun's camp came out!

  Jiangdong soldiers instantly became in a state of being flanked by two sides!

   Zhou Yu's heart skipped a beat, and the soldiers in Cao Jun's camp rushed out? Seeing such momentum, even the whole army is dispatched, without reservation! Could it be that this is Cao Cao's strategy?

  Could it be said that Cao Fei and Cao Fei really cooperated so closely?

  In this way, Cao Cao's army may be behind! After all, without the support of the army, how dare the soldiers of Cao Jun's battalion, which is on the verge of collapse, rush forward without reservation? In this way, Cao Cao just wanted to lure all of himself across the river first, and then when the strength of his soldiers weakened, he would entangle his troops on the riverside, and then use a large army to annihilate them in one fell swoop!

  What a poisonous strategy!

  What a ruthless strategy!

  If this is the case, then far away...

  Zhou Yu's face was livid, and he looked up into the distance. The smoke and dust in the distance, and the battlefield in the north are very chaotic, it is difficult to have a clear vision for a while, and to distinguish more effective information.

  『Captain! Cheng Pu stood on one side, frowning, staring at the armored cavalry marching hard in the middle of the formation, "It's better to let someone go down and clean up these guys!" 』

Although the opponent is protected by heavy armor, Cheng Pu also had experience fighting with Sun Jian and Xiliang cavalry back then, so he knows some tactics about how to deal with cavalry, and according to Cheng Pu's observation, the martial arts of these armed cavalry are basically On the whole, they are all mediocre, even the commander among them is mediocre, if he can take advantage of the chaos to hide in the front line, and suddenly use a heavy mace, he might be able to kill him in one blow!

Although Cheng Pu has never fought against armored cavalry before, according to his combat experience with heavy infantry, it is difficult for ordinary swords, guns, swords and halberds to effectively kill heavy infantry, but blunt hammers and maces can It can directly hit the body through the armor, and if it hits a vital part, it can also form the one-hit-kill effect of a knife and gun against light armor.

  Zhou Yu pondered.

  Although what Cheng Pu said seemed easy, Zhou Yu knew that life and death would be divided in an instant in a real battle. If the cavalry were so easy to deal with, his own army would not be oppressed to the current situation.

  Zhou Yu looked into the distance, pointed to the smoke and dust rising in the distance, and said, "If there are only cavalry at present, why does the smoke and dust linger on?" 』

  Cheng Pu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Could there be Cao Jun's infantry in the future?" ! 』

  Zhou Yu nodded slowly, and said: "You can bet... But the Lord Jiangdong Jiye... can't bet... Order to withdraw troops..."

  『Captain! ’Cheng Pu shouted anxiously from the side. Withdrawing troops now will inevitably cause serious damage...

   Zhou Yu touched a letter in his bosom, which was a piece of information from the west of Jingzhou, reconfirmed his thoughts, and sighed a long time: "Retreat! 』

   No matter, no matter!

   It's not that I can't, but that the time is not given to Jiangdong, so what can I do?
