Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2103 There is always someone who can't resist the temptation

  『Stop! stop them! 』

  The sky began to brighten up.

  When Cao Jun found out that the target of being more careful and cautious last night was only a small group of cavalry with less than a thousand people, he suddenly became courageous and angry. It's like when some apes didn't know where they were, they were obsessed with a rich Chinese tunic for a long time before they found out that this guy was just a chef, and their anger was immediately uncontrollable.

  The battle drums roared, Cao Jun's camp suddenly opened, and Cao Jun's soldiers flowed out black like big sesame glutinous rice **** that had been punctured. Cao Xiu was the first to leap out of the camp, and led the cavalry to outflank Xu Yu and others while roaring.

  With anger and hatred, Cao Xiu urged his horse, and rushed towards Xu Yu without hesitation. rat! If you have the guts, you will fight for your life and death in an upright manner! What kind of hero is he who can only use dirty tricks? !

  If it is said that he is a general under Hussars, Cao Xiu is somewhat afraid, but facing Xu Yu, Cao Xiu has no fear, and even has some contempt. I have people, horses, and thick armor. I want to crush you!

  The war horse in battle armor bites the iron bit and spits white saliva, runs hard, tramples on the ground like a drum, and pours down like wild beasts.

  『Hey! ”Xu Yu looked at Cao Xiu who was approaching aggressively, “This is a real rush... I don’t think I’ll hook you up, you bastard! 』

  What humans fear most is the unknown.

   To the Jiangdong soldiers, Cao Xiu's armored cavalry is undoubtedly a representative of terror, but to Xu Yu, and even to most of the hussars, what is so strange about these armored cavalry? It still looks a bit similar, but when it runs, it reveals its secrets.

The armored cavalry under the hussars were brought out by the group headed by Gan Feng, plus the blessing of the hussar general Fei Qian. All of them are horse lances!

  And what are these armored cavalry led by Cao Xiu holding?

  Basically they are spears, and some people even use halberds...

  Of course, this is not due to Cao Xiu, but is influenced by the history of the Han Dynasty.

  Speaking of which, the hussar general Fei Qian was not the pioneer of the big Han outfit cavalry.

  In other civilizations in the classical era, the armored cavalry, that is, the prototype of the heavy armored cavalry, was probably regarded as the "partner cavalry" that Alexander the Great and his successors fought in all directions. These guys can be said to be the earliest shock-type heavy cavalry in the world. With their three-to-four-meter-long heavy lances, they have left a deep lesson for the Persians and Scythians who also have the tradition of heavy cavalry.

Of course, at that time, there were no saddles, not even horse armor, at most there were some bronze horse masks or horse neck guards, and the cavalry did not have shields, but even so, these junior heavy cavalry , still had a profound impact on the Middle East, Central Asia, and even ancient India.

  Especially the Guishuang Empire, and after entering the second century, the Han Dynasty naturally came into contact with these countries because of the Silk Road, as well as their military technologies such as armed cavalry and heavy lances. It's just because the Han Dynasty is different from countries such as Parthia, Sarmatia, and Guishuang that have a large number of cavalry.

  Because it troubled the Han Dynasty, the powerful enemy at that time was the Huns cavalry who "gathered like ants" on the grassland. Although there are some well-equipped troops among the Hun cavalry, most of the Hun cavalry are relatively simple. Therefore, for the Han Dynasty, there is almost no need for the armor-breaking ability of the heavy cavalry, and more importantly, it must be maneuverable. Therefore, although the Han Dynasty knew of such military technology for a long period of time, it never used it.

  This is why the cavalry of the Han Dynasty used more simple and sturdy ring-headed knives, as well as halberds that can stab, chop, peck, and hook, instead of heavy spears and horses.

   And there is another reason, horse lance is more expensive...

As the elite cavalry under Dong Zhuo back then, its main function was not to directly face front-line battles on the battlefield, but to have a suppressive and destructive effect on other cavalry generals, and it had enough deterrent power, so from beginning to end Armed and well-equipped horses and spears have become a necessity.

  As a result, the hussar general Fei Qian, who likes equipment, took a look and started it without saying a word. As a result, the armored cavalry under the hussars are really armed to the teeth from the beginning to the end. Xu Yu and the others, who were used to seeing hussars in armor, looked at Cao Xiu's cavalry now, and felt that these guys were imitating others.

   Only fools will fight head-on with armored cavalry...

   Even incomplete cavalry has heavy armor.

  Xu Yu laughed secretly while whistling to get his subordinates to act.

  『Go! Yo Ho Ho...」

  Xu Yu uttered a strange cry, then pulled out a strangely shaped rope from behind, and waved it in the air. This kind of rope has some counterweights on both ends of the rope, and then throws it out through a special technique, which can be used to tie up some fleeing sheep, and of course it can also be used to tie up people.

  Cao Jun cavalry, led by Cao Xiu, saw that Xu Yu's men and horses did not run away but came up to meet them.

  Xu Yu waved his arms, and without special aiming, he just threw the rope out of his hands, and then turned the horse's head without looking at it, and dodged the frontal charge of Cao Jun's cavalry in the diagonal stab.

After Xu Yu finished throwing and turning his horse's head, the hussars behind him made almost the same action. Immediately afterwards, countless ropes flew through the air, and then they rushed toward him like a dark cloud. Cao Xiu's armed cavalry surrounded him and left!

   Horseshoes are flying and mud is splashing!

  The circling rope hit the horse's leg, and because of inertia, the rope's counterweights swirled around each other almost instantly, and tied the horse's legs together!

  The armored cavalry in the gallop can be described as a colossus, but it is such a small rope that easily knocks down all the men and horses...

  Xu Yu laughed loudly: "A group of happy people! 』

  『Happy! 』

  『Melon Song! 』

  The hussars roared and laughed wantonly. The mocking and ironic voice could be clearly heard even in the roar of horseshoes.

  Is this how armored cavalry is used? There is no light cavalry to clamp down, no infantry formation to oppress, and no other arms to cooperate. The simple armored cavalry is just a brat holding a sharp knife and screaming. It seems scary and dangerous, but as long as you find the right opportunity Give it a kick, and suddenly the world is quiet.

Although the hit rate of the throwing ropes is not very high, only one or two out of ten ropes are successfully thrown into the horse's legs, but this is enough. The cavalrymen were like small carts that turned over, they fell to the ground amidst the bang, and some even rolled over in mid-air with their heads and feet before falling heavily!

  The subsequent outfitted cavalry hurriedly tried to catch the horses, but before they had time, some stumbled to the ground again, splashing a lot of smoke, dirt and flesh!

   If you have never fought, you will lose first!

   At this moment, Cao Xiu's eyeballs turned red!

  He knew how much Cao Cao had invested in these armored cavalry, and what he had sacrificed!

If it is said that he fell in a head-on fight, then Cao Xiu might not feel such a strong sense of shame, nor would he be so outraged. After all, the collision of blood and iron is the hymn of a warrior, even if it is death. Even now, she will calmly swallow her last breath, but now, what is it? !

  The armored cavalry who was worth a lot of money was tripped over by a worthless rope and defeated? ! Is the world crazy, or am I crazy? !

Seeing Xu Yu and other hussars draw an arc lightly in front of them, avoiding the cavalry as if they were dancing a waltz, and then heading towards the cavalry of Cao Jun, Cao Xiu pulled his neck with his veins exposed shouted: "Stop him!" 』

   Cao Jun’s pawns are actually looking stupid at the moment...

When Cao Xiu roared and charged with his armored cavalry, Cao Jun's infantry cheered and applauded, especially when the horseshoes of both sides rolled and approached each other, Cao Jun's infantry almost raised their hearts to their throats. The collision of flesh and flesh, the tumbling drama between body fluid and body fluid is about to be staged, and the result is...

This!

  What is this...what?

  Especially when he heard Cao Xiu screaming to stop these hussars, Cao Jun's infantry couldn't help but cry in their hearts. Damn, you can't even stop them, so you want us to stop them?

  How to stop, take an egg to stop?

   Obviously, Xu Yu didn't want to see the eggs of Cao soldiers' infantry, so he took out his short spear. The standard configuration of hussar cavalry, throwing spears. This is the way of fighting that Fei Qian has instilled in his cavalry many times, so that it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. As long as it is an enemy that can be dealt with from a distance with weapons, do not fight hand-to-hand.

  Although in the era of the great Han, a weapon may be worth more than human life, Hussar General Fei Qian still upholds the concept that human life takes precedence over weapons.

   And this concept, now it seems, is undoubtedly correct. When the short spear roared and fell, it immediately set off a rain of blood in the formation of Cao Jun's infantry. The force of the impact combined with the sharp short spears easily tore the body of Cao Jun's infantry, and some even came out from their bodies, piercing these poor guys together in twos and threes front and back like coriander wrapped in bean skin.

Even Cao Jun's infantry who were not injured by the short spear were blocked, suppressed, knocked down, and knocked down by their wounded comrades. Other Cao Jun's infantry who were not injured by luck also lost their original tight formation, in twos and threes. Seeing that the horseshoes of the hussars had arrived, they rolled out with a wild cry.

The strong and powerful war horse hissed and passed the cao army infantry who rolled and fell to the ground. Xu Yu effortlessly swung the saber sticking out to one side, and the sharp blade cut through the cao army infantry who had no time to dodge from the side. neck.

  Cao Jun's infantry let go of the weapon in their hands, desperately clutching the **** neck, and then fell on their backs, with the Cao Jun battle flag fluttering and falling above their heads...

  The hussars are well-equipped, and the armor is good. This is not a joke.

On the battlefield, the sword made by Bailian Steel is the most suitable for fighting on the battlefield. Wherever it goes, countless spears and spears are broken. Even the leather armor and shield of Cao Jun's infantry fall apart under the blade of the sword. Only the iron armor It can still resist support to some extent, but it is also common to see flames splashing and armor pieces collapsing.

  The cao soldiers who were facing Xu Yu immediately collapsed, and their stumps and broken arms flew all over the sky!

The soldiers of Cao Jun who were blocking the route of Xu Yu and others did not expect the hussars to charge so sharply, especially the Jingzhou soldiers who surrendered to Cao Jun, their hands and feet were cold and their hearts trembled in an instant. The room was like a house with mud walls washed by the flood, and it collapsed in a blink of an eye. Those who died were fine, but the ones who hadn't died howled under the hoofs of these ferocious horses! Under the flying iron hooves, what was originally a good formation turned into a Shura field in the blink of an eye!

  These newly transferred Cao soldiers couldn't help but start to panic, dodging this group of vicious spirits left and right, and even broke away from the queue and started running for their lives.

  『Fleeers! cut! 』

  Cao Ren unceremoniously issued the order to supervise the battle, and caught those soldiers who had fled back before the formation, chopped off their heads, and stabbed them **** in front, immediately shocking the scene.

  『Tsk tsk...』Xu Yu looked at Cao Ren's Chinese army position not far away, Cao Ren with a red tasseled hood on the hillock, and the Chinese army flag fluttering around, he couldn't help licking his lips.

  『Captain! 』

  『Captain, it’s time to go! ’ the guard behind Xu Yu urged.

  Xu Yu grinned and showed his white teeth, "Wait a minute, make another vote!" Come with me! 』

  Xu Yu couldn't hold back Cao Ren's temptation in the end, and before the horse's speed slowed down, he turned around again and rushed towards the small mountain bag. If Cao Jun is so cowardly, wouldn't it be easy to capture the head of Cao Jun's general?

"Humph! How dare you! Seeing Xu Yu turning his head and rushing forward, Cao Ren sneered, then stretched out his hand to the guard beside him, "Take the bow!" 』

  The longbow used by Cao Ren is naturally not an ordinary one. Under the beautiful carved and painted lacquer appearance, there are hidden murderous intentions.

  Cao Ren took the bow in his hand, and then mounted the Spike Arrow, aiming at Xu Yu through the gap in the human wall!

  Xu Yu, who came galloping, took out a short spear again, and was about to do the same thing, break the formation with the short spear, when he was about to throw it out, a feathered arrow came suddenly from above!

  Xu Yu focused all his attention on the array of Cao Jun's infantry in front, and he didn't guard against Cao Ren's back arrow at all! The arrow accurately hit Xu Yu's shoulder, and after colliding with the whole piece of armor on Xu Yu's shoulder, a spark appeared and then flew obliquely and fell!

  Before Xu Yu could react, another feathered arrow flew over silently and lowly, it happened to penetrate the battle skirt under Xu Yu's crotch, and bit heavily on his thigh!

  The two arrows were shot at almost the same time, and they also bit Xu Yu's body at almost the same time. From the point of view of the attack intention, it was to shoot a man and a horse!

   It’s just that Xu Yusheng received both arrows…

   Xu Yu gritted his teeth and let out a loud cry. Taking advantage of the momentum of his throwing, he changed the direction of his throwing and threw his short spear towards Cao Ren on the small mound!

  Although the short spear contained Xu Yu's anger, after all, the distance was far away. Seeing this, Cao Ren shrank into the guard's shield and easily dodged it. The short spear hit the shield with a bang, and the tail of the spear dangled wildly, but it could no longer cause any damage.

  Cao Ren turned slightly sideways, glanced at You Zi's dangling short spear, then sneered, and pointed at Xu Yu: "Come on!" Siege and kill this beast! Whoever takes the head will be rewarded ten thousand gold! 』

  『Huh! drink! 』

In Cao Ren's main formation, the vast majority of Cao's soldiers are Qingzhou soldiers or Yanzhou veterans. Compared with those Jingzhou soldiers who have been transferred, these soldiers are more powerful in terms of combat skills and desire to fight. On top, they are all three points stronger. Facing the short spears thrown by Xu Yu and others, he was not as at a loss as those Cao Jun in Jingzhou before.

  Although short spears are extremely destructive and lethal, they are not enough in front of shields. Many short spears can only stay on the shield unwillingly, looking at the flesh and blood that is close at hand, trembling with hunger and thirst, but powerless. Of course, on the other hand, it can effectively prevent the throwing of short spears, and Cao Jun's soldiers with large shields are naturally not as lethal to cavalry as pikemen. When facing sword and shield fighters, cavalry often dared to charge up unscrupulously, but they were somewhat afraid of Lin Li's long spear formation.

In a blink of an eye, Xu Yu and others crashed into Cao Jun's formation, but this time, the feeling of hot knife cutting oil disappeared, and it was like being stuck in mud. Although they could still move, the soles of their feet More and more yellow mud adhered to it, and it was even two or three times bigger than my own shoes at the back. It was easy to go down with each foot, but it was extremely difficult to pull it up again...

  Cao Ren slowly took another arrow and aimed at Xu Yu who was fighting in the formation.

  『Withdraw! retreat! 』

Xu Yu felt like he was being targeted by a poisonous snake. Seeing that the momentum was not good, he yelled in pain and ordered to retreat, while waving his saber to chop off more and more Cao Jun's swords and guns. Neighing, then kicked with his front foot and kicked with his back leg, forcing a little gap, Xu Yu just beat the horse and left!

  『Whoosh! 』Cao Ren on the small mound opened his bow again, and the arrow pierced Xu Yu's back shoulder like a bloodthirsty leech, almost knocking Xu Yu off his horse!

  Xu Yu let out a scream, hugged the horse's neck quickly, and then, under the protection of the rest of the cavalry, bypassed the reorganization and charged Cao Xiu aggressively again, fleeing to the north...

It's not that Cao Xiu and the others don't want to chase, but in order to fight against Xu Yu and the others, all the men and horses wore heavy armor. Although they wanted to chase and kill them now, the horsepower consumption was already extremely high. The sporadic hussars in the back were killed, and the anger was relieved a little bit.

  『Order! Mingjin retreats! Xiahoudun, who was supervising the battle in the rear, issued an order. Seeing that the fire in Fancheng was getting bigger and bigger, if he didn't deal with it, even if the defeated soldiers who caught up with Xu Yu in the end, Fancheng would be burned to the ground, and one of them would be burned. What is the meaning of the city of Cao Jun to the whole army?

  『Come on! Hurry to town! Organize the people, draw water and put out the fire! 』
