Great Military Division

Chapter 238 The old trick is repeated!On the banks of the Sushui River, besiege Lu Bu!

clang!
Lu Bu slammed one arm hard, knocked away Xiahoudun's iron spear, and at the same time leaned heavily on the horse, avoiding the arrows flying from the side with ease.

Xiahoudun wanted to take this opportunity to attack Lv Bu again, but found that the spear in Lv Bu's hand had already rotated around his waist, and it was switched to the other hand, roaring from the other side, and directly aimed at his weakly defended waist and eyes.

"not good."

Xiahou Dun secretly chewed.

The move that was intended to attack suddenly stopped, and the moment the iron spear was drawn back, the barrel of the gun immediately turned to the side, blocking the only way that the spear must pass.

clang-!
Where the spears intersect, sparks burst out.

A deafening golden sound exploded.

The familiar feeling passed into his body along the barrel of the gun and his arms again.

Xiahou Dun only felt numbness in his arms and a dull pain in his tiger's mouth, and he was on the verge of collapse at any time.

According to the original plan, Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan should try their best to attack Lv Bu, test their opponent's strength, and at the same time let their own cavalry fight against wolf cavalry. Even if they lose deliberately, they must lose at a level that will not arouse Lv Bu's suspicion.

But who ever thought
Only this fight, but two strokes.

Xiahou Dun deeply realized that he could never be Lu Bu's opponent.

Fortunately, Lu Bu was more cautious and did not send wolf cavalry to charge together, otherwise his own cavalry would have lost most of their cavalry in this wave of offensive.

Although Xiahoudun didn't understand why Lu Bu was so cautious, but the actual situation was like this, he could only secretly feel fortunate that God was very kind to us.

Whoosh!
In oblique thorns.

Another arrow came roaring.

At the same time that Lu Bu abandoned Xiahou Dun, he swung his spear in the air and shot down the arrow directly.

He scanned not far away with burning eyes. Xia Houyuan held the tendon bow in his hand, and drew out the feathered arrow again, ready to nock and string the arrow.

Although the archery skill of this person in front of him is a bit inferior to that of Liu Chong, it is completely sufficient for harassment and cover.

"Crappie!"

Lu Bu gritted his teeth and cursed.

When he was about to quickly defeat Xiahou Dun and then raid Xiahouyuan.

suddenly.

A cold light flickered in front of his eyes.

While Lu Bu was subconsciously blocking and dodging.

Xiahou Dun steered his horse and turned around, shouting at the top of his voice: "Miaocai, cover me, Lu Bu is brave, I am invincible!"

Xiahou Yuan also sensed that something was wrong. Xiahou Dun's powerful offensive was easily resolved. Even with his own cover, Lu Bu could still suppress Xiahou Dun, which proved how terrifying Lu Bu's strength was.

"Hugh the Thief"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Bu was about to ride his horse and give chase.

Whoosh!
Another arrow flew in the air.

But this arrow was not aimed at Lu Bu, but was blocked in front of him, preventing him from chasing and killing Xiahou Dun.

The victory came inexplicably, even a little unreal.

Lu Bu couldn't believe it.

King Hongnong had such weak cavalry under his tent.

The soldiers who reined in their horses in front all held spears in one hand, and their riding skills were as awkward as they were, which was completely different from the previous cavalry team.

"Hurry up, wolf riders are brave, we are no match for you."

"The thief Lu Bu is like an animal, his strength is too great."

"Animal? This kid is stronger than an animal. Get out!"

"Lu Bu is a big animal!"

"."

The abuse sounded.

The anger in Lu Bu's heart was ignited.

He asked himself that he might not be the opponent of King Hongnong's elite cavalry, but even if the team in front of him was ten times bigger, he would not be afraid at all.

Immediately, Lu Bu raised his spear high and ordered sonorously: "Song Xian, follow me!"

At this moment, Song Xian also noticed that this cavalry was definitely not elite, not only the way of holding spears was very different, but also the level of riding skills was very different.

Not to mention compared with the fine cavalry who defeated the wolf cavalry before, even compared with the newly formed cavalry, I am afraid it is difficult to take advantage of the slightest advantage. Even in the eyes of the two, such a team can only be called soldiers on horseback, not cavalry. cavalry.

mob!

Song Xian made a decision.

Immediately waved his hand fiercely, and ordered clang:
"Brothers, kill with me!"

"kill-!"

All the wolf riders let go of their hands and feet, followed Lu Bu, and launched a pursuit.

Although Xiahou Dun and others are also cavalry, their riding skills are far behind.

Most of them are still at the elementary level of riding, the stage of controlling war horses, so their speed is only stronger than that of infantry, and it is difficult to compare with wolf cavalry. It didn't take long for them to be drawn closer.

Not far away, I saw a small fishing village standing not far from the Dianshui River.

This village is Zicun!
The villagers make a living by hunting in the mountains and fishing in the rivers.

Therefore, the village is not far from Mount Mang, and closer to Dangshui.

"quick!"

Xiahou Dun clanged and shouted: "Abandon the horses and run towards the river bank! The roads there are muddy and horseshoes can sink, which is not conducive to cavalry pursuit. As long as we get there, we will have a way out."

"promise."

All the soldiers abandoned their horses one after another, and ran towards the river with their spears in their hands.

When he was on the banks of the Bianshui River, Cao Cao used this tactic to kill the vanguard general Hua Xiong.

Now, since there is Dishui, and the opponent is coming along the bank of Dishui, how can he not take advantage of the terrain conditions and launch a wave of precise lures to counterattack?
For Cao Cao, the only problem that needs to be solved is to lure the wolf riders to the muddy place by the river, restrict the mobility of the cavalry, and create conditions for the following infantry to encircle.

"Hurry up!"

Xiahou Dun was afraid that Lu Bu would not be fooled, so he shouted at the top of his voice: "As long as we reach the riverside, even a big animal, Lu Bu, may not dare to chase after him!"

"Go—!"

Xiahou Dun commanded the troops independently from the rear: "I'll break the rear!"

Xia Houyuan held up the ox tendon bow: "Yuan Rang don't worry, with me here, the thief Lu Bu can't hurt you."

"ordinary man!"

Lu Bu was originally irritable, but now he was humiliated by the two Xiaoxiao, and the small universe that had been suppressed for a long time was suddenly ignited, and immediately reined in his horse and turned, heading straight for Xiahou.

"I have a red dodder horse, crossing water and climbing mountains is like walking on flat ground, so why not be afraid of mud!"

"Stop the thief, Lu Bu is coming!"

drive-!
Lu Bu hurriedly reined in the reins, slammed the horse's belly, sat down, raised its head and neighed, and immediately spread its four hooves, like a red bolt of lightning, rushing out.

but
Lu Bu did not attack Xiahou Dun fiercely, but rushed straight to Xiahou Yuan who was covering with a bow.

This scene frightened Xiahou Dun.

He hurriedly rode his horse to fight, trying to stop Lu Bu in a diagonal stab.

However, Lu Bu didn't pay attention to Xiahou Dun at all, and swept the spear in his palm, knocking away Xiahou Dun's iron spear, and at the same time, he rode his horse again and passed by easily.

Whoosh!
Xia Houyuan shot an arrow in the air and killed him.

Immediately, he reined in his horse and went straight into the muddy land by the river.

At the same time, he put away his ox tendon bow and replaced it with an iron spear, ready to fight Lu Bu to the death at any time.

Although Lv Bu fell into the trick and forced himself into the muddy ground to pursue and kill them, Xiahou Dun dared not rejoice at all. Lv Bu's individual combat ability far exceeded their imagination!
"Wonderful talent!"

Xiahou Dun prayed secretly while riding his horse to chase.

At the same time, he glanced back at the wolf rider.

The black soldiers and horses have already attacked, following in Lu Bu's footsteps, breaking into the mud, ready to hunt down the remnants and defeated soldiers.

Xiahou Dun was completely relieved, at least he had successfully completed the task of luring the enemy to the muddy area by the river.

The only concern now is Xia Houyuan's safety.

Therefore, Xiahou Dun rode his horse and chased after him frantically, sparing no effort:

"Thief Lu Bu, your opponent is me!"

"Miaocai, hold on, I will help you."

Have to admit.

The red dodder horse is indeed a good horse.

Even though the horse's speed dropped sharply when it entered the mud, it was still stronger than ordinary horses. Not only did the splashing mud not embarrass Lu Bu, but it added to his mighty arrogance.

"Take your life—!"

Lu Bu caught up with his horse, twisted the spear in his palm, and aimed at Xia Houyuan's back, like a dragon sailing out of the sea, spinning and stabbing straight, unstoppable.

The cold murderous aura suddenly engulfed Xia Houyuan, pouring down his spine all over his body, and the cold sweat broke out, soaking his whole body armor.

Xia Houyuan was keenly aware of the dangerous aura, he subconsciously turned around sharply, swung out a moon-like light from the iron spear in his hand, and smashed at the spear that Lv Bu had stabbed at, sparing no effort.

"Break it for me!"

For this blow, Xia Houyuan tried his best.

The tip of the gun roared, and with the momentum of a thunderbolt, it slashed horizontally.

clang!
A crisp sound.

The spearhead hit the spear precisely.

But Lu Bu's strength was obviously greater, and he had been on guard against this move for a long time. There was a strange force attached to the rotating spear shaft.

"what!"

Xia Houyuan's face turned green with fright.

While holding on to the reins tightly, his body suddenly sank, and at the same time rolled sideways, trying his best to evade the attack.

Karo is so.
Sen Leng's war spear still poked at his armor, and the spear tip stuck to the half-sleeved shoulder armor, and he drew a distance, thousands of sparks flashed out from the side of his neck, which was extremely dangerous.

"Thief Lu Bu, take your life!"

Fortunately, Xiahou Dun came from behind in time, and Sen Leng's iron spear smashed down on Lu Bu's head and face, forcing Lu Bu to draw his spear back, sideways to dodge and block.

otherwise
Lu Bu was at least [-]% sure that he could kill Xia Houyuan.

But at this moment, Xiahou Yuan was so angry that he didn't want to run away any more. He reined in his horse and fought with his guns. Together with Xiahou Dun, they attacked Lu Bu from both left and right directions.

Clang!Clang!Clang!
Jin Ming exploded, sparks splashed.

In the blink of an eye, the three parties fought hard for more than ten rounds.

unfortunately
Lu Bu is definitely not Hua Xiong.

Shuang Xiahou could suppress Hua Xiong, but when he met Lu Bu, he could only reluctantly fight.

It was because Zhang Liao and Sun Jian had targeted help from experts who analyzed the characteristics of Lv Bu's spear and proposed corresponding countermeasures that they fought Lv Bu half-fifty, occasionally gaining the upper hand.

But Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan didn't have this kind of treatment. Lu Bu's spear technique changed a lot, and his moves were fierce. Even if both Xiahous were proficient in martial arts, they could only be tired of fighting.

Just as the battle started outside Azusa Village.

The roof of a certain house in Azusa Village.

Cao Cao stared at the battlefield until the vast majority of the wolf knights entered the muddy river before he breathed a sigh of relief: "Yuncheng, give the order, it's your turn to go out."

"Do not worry."

Bao Xin nodded affirmatively, and turned his head to wink at the messenger.

The messenger nodded, and waved the red banner in his hand regularly towards the distance.

This is the signal to attack in the direction of Azusa Village!
"kill-!"

In an instant, a strong shout of killing sounded.

At the entrance of the east village.

A team pushing grain carts rushed out at the fastest speed.

Behind it, crossbowmen and spearmen followed quickly, and there were even a large number of cavalry who circled back directly.

In addition, more than ten fishing boats sailed down the river in an attempt to encircle the wolf cavalry from the direction of the waterway.

The general under Bao Xin's account will be banned, but he is from Juping County, Taishan County.

"Shui Jing Zhu · Wenshui Pian" records: Zishui flows westward to the south of Yangguan City, westward flows into Wenshui, Wenshui flows southward to the east of the old city of Ju (Ju) Ping County, and flows southwest, east of the city. Ludo.

In addition, it is also stated in the "Minutes of Reading History and Fangyu": Juping County, ninety miles northeast of Ningyang, on the north bank of Wenshui, was established in Han Dynasty and belongs to Taishan County.

Yu Jin has lived here since he was a child, and he is proficient in water.

Bao Xin is the Prime Minister of Jibei, and the country of Jibei is located in the south of Jishui, and many of them have fishing experience.

Although the people in Zi Village have been relocated, the fishing boats are still here.

Bao Xin selected some soldiers with fishing experience from the army and temporarily formed a navy army, trying to attack and kill the wolf cavalry in Bingzhou by going down the river.

Water and land parallel, two strikes together.

Lu Bu, who was fighting, looked at the soldiers and horses rushing from the village, knowing that he had tricked him.

When he waved his spear and knocked away the iron spear stabbed by Xiahou Dun, he looked back at his soldiers and horses, and saw more than ten fast boats coming down the river, each holding a strong bow and crossbow, their combat intentions were extremely obvious.

"not good!"

Lu Bu secretly chewed.

Without hesitation, he shouted at the top of his voice, "Quickly withdraw, there is an ambush! Quickly withdraw—!"

At this moment, Song Xian also sensed that something was wrong, and shouted: "Quick! Go ashore quickly and get out of here."

All the wolf riders reined in their horses one after another, but unfortunately the mud was deep, the horses were restricted from turning around, and their speed dropped sharply.

At this moment, the grain trucks have been pushed by the soldiers and connected into a line to form a simple mobile defensive formation, heading towards the bank of the Dishui River. follow up.

"Give me an arrow!"

General Le Jin raised his knife and roared.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
In an instant, a wave of arrow rain suddenly rose into the sky. After gathering in the air, it immediately covered the wolf knight soldiers who were turning their horses like locusts, and there was a burst of thunderous people shouting and neighing.

As if it was just a blink of an eye.

The wolf knight soldiers who were caught off guard, fell dozens of fine cavalry one after another.

If it wasn't for the fact that their chasing team was a little longer, resulting in relatively scattered positions and not dense enough, otherwise, this wave of arrow rain would definitely cause greater damage.

At the same time, the water army led by Yu Jin also came here downstream. The helmsman was in charge of controlling the ship to ensure its stability.

"Give me an arrow!"

Yu Jin looked at the quasi-fighter and gave an order.

Another wave of arrows suddenly enveloped, and dozens of wolf riders fell to the ground on the spot, dying.

Even a vanguard warrior like Song Xian didn't care about manipulating the horse at this moment. He could only hold the spear, block the arrows left and right, tired of coping, and sit and wait for death.

"Hold on, everyone!"

Song Xian brushed aside the arrows shot from the direction of the water, stared back and shouted loudly.

Because the wolf cavalry team stretched relatively long, in fact, there were still some soldiers and horses that did not enter the muddy area: "As long as the reinforcements can arrive, we can definitely fight out."

But
When Song Xian raised his eyes and looked to the rear, a cavalry of the enemy army had already surrounded Wei Xu's soldiers and horses: "Damn it! How can King Hongnong have so many cavalry?"

Boom~~
Smoke and dust billowed, obscuring sight.

Song Xian was proficient in cavalry combat, so he naturally judged that this cavalry must be no less than two thousand cavalry.

Even though their fighting power is weak, with the absolute superiority in numbers, they should have no problem stopping Wei Xu.

"kill-!"

Cao Chun, the cavalry leader, raised his gun and roared, raised the reins and rode his horse, and charged bravely.

The cavalry clamped the horse's belly, leaned over the horse's back, held the rein in one hand, and held the spear in the other hand, clamping the tail of the spear shaft under the ribs to increase the friction with the spear shaft and improve its stability.

This is the relatively initial way of holding the spear with one hand and forehand by the cavalry at the end of the Han Dynasty. Considering that stabbing the enemy soldier, the horse is easily sent flying by the impact, so each of them holds the reins tightly, clamps the horse's belly, and clamps the spear with one arm Pole pose.

Compared with wolf cavalry's one-handed backhand spear holding method, although this method is slightly less flexible and has a single attack direction, it is the most suitable attacking method for novices.

Most importantly!
Holding the spear in the forehand has an advantage of about half a foot in attack distance compared to holding the spear in the backhand.

In other words, if a wolf cavalry with a spear in his backhand wants to kill a cavalry of the Cao army with a spear in his forehand, he must first avoid the assassination of the cavalry of the Cao army before launching his own onslaught.

In a sense, this is the key to Cao Jun's cavalry defeating the enemy. First-hand advantage + strength advantage may not be impossible to fight the wolf cavalry to the death.

Boom~~
The two cavalry collided.

Relying on super-high riding skills, the wolf cavalry dodged left and right on the horse, while avoiding the attack, while looking for the most suitable attack opportunity, they stabbed with spears, taking the lives of Cao Jun cavalry one after another.

but
There were too many cavalrymen of Cao Jun, and one more person could hide, but only a few people could not hide. Two or three spearheads passed by one after another, and many wolf cavalry soldiers were directly stabbed off their horses, and died on the spot.

Just a wave of hedging.

The soldiers beside Wei Xu actually only had dozens of cavalry left, losing more than half of their strength.

Although they killed more Cao cavalry, compared to their original base, the battle damage ratio was pitifully small.

"Damn!"

Wei Xu was so shocked that his eyeballs almost fell off.

Such a charge that is almost suicidal, if it happens again, I am afraid that even I will hardly be spared.

After all, not all wolf cavalry generals are as powerful as Lu Bu.

Looking back.

Cao Jun's cavalry is already turning back.

Although the opponent's cavalry seemed very immature, its leader was obviously well versed in cavalry warfare, and the tactics of attack, detour, and outflanking were extremely lawful and worthy of praise.

Wei Xu originally wanted to attack the soldiers and horses behind his grain cart to relieve the pressure on Lu Bu, Song Xian and others.

But
The direction in which the opponent turned around clearly predicted his next move. If he rushed in desperately, not to mention whether the infantry formed in the formation could break through, the cavalry who came behind would definitely make dumplings for him.

a time.

Wei Xu was in a bit of trouble.

He didn't know whether he should run away, or force his way in to relieve Lu Bu's pressure.

In fact, in Wei Xu's eyes, these two paths are both dead ends.

The only difference is.

Run away and die more slowly;
And forcibly breaking in, you will die in a moment!

After all, with his current strength, it is impossible to complete the charge.

Watching the development of the battle situation, Bao Xin breathed a sigh of relief: "Meng De, the battle situation is really as you deduced. It seems that we don't have to wait until Sun Jian arrives to kill Lu Bu."

"Don't worry!"

Cao Cao remained calm, his eyes fixed on the battlefield, refusing to move an inch: "Lü Bu was able to break through the bridgehead and set up formation in such a short period of time, his strength should be more than that."

"you mean"

Bao Xin's voice just started.

but see
Lu Bu swung wildly with his spear, and at the same time forced Xiahou's two generals to retreat, he quickly ran towards the river bank: "What a thief, Lu Bu, is indeed extremely fierce. He actually got rid of the entanglement of Xiahou brothers."

"what happened?"

Bao Xin's eyes widened suddenly, and he stared at Lu Bu who was heading straight for the chariot formation in the battlefield: "What is he going to do? Could it be that he wants to forcibly break into our army's chariot formation?"

hiss-!
Bao Xin gasped.

Wherever he looked, Lu Bu brandished his spear, swept away the arrows that were coming towards him, and at the same time charged his horse forward. When he was only ten feet away from the grain cart, he reined in the reins and clamped the horse's belly.

Hee woo hoo-!
The red horse seems to have sensed Lu Bu's strategic intentions, and immediately jumped up and passed the grain cart. At the same time, it faced the spear stabbed by Cao Jun's soldiers, and ran over uncontrollably.

boom! boom! boom!
Lu Bu's strikes were as fast as lightning, and he swung his spear left and right, pushing away all the sharp edges that were blocking the Chituma, opening a way for Chituma to survive, and leaping into its formation.

although.

When it landed, it was surrounded.

But Lu Bu was not afraid at all, his eyes were fierce, and he swung the willows in a strong wind, beheading the soldiers on both sides and in front one after another.

The crossbowmen, who were all covered before, had never seen such a fierce scene. The cold spearheads exuded deadly scarlet, and kept harvesting the lives of their comrades.

Some daring crossbowmen wanted to fight back with arrows, but Lu Bu's speed was too fast, and they couldn't aim at all when they charged. If they accidentally injured their comrades, they would bear the responsibility. How dare they fight back.

Wei Xu, who was at a loss, watched Lu Bu rush into the formation, and made a decision at the moment.

He waved his hands violently, and said hoarsely: "Brothers, rush over, meet the lord, and kill me!"

The only remaining wolf knights roared in unison: "Kill!"

Although there were only dozens of soldiers and horses in this army, or even less than a hundred, their ability to survive the torrent of the battle had proved that they were all elite wolf cavalry.

now.

Lu Bu charged solo, stirring up the battlefield.

It is suitable for them to charge and respond, to kill a bloody path for the whole army.

puff!puff!puff!
The wolf riders rushed to the enemy's position, and Wei Xu took the lead.

He stabbed an enemy army to death with one spear, swept vigorously, and pushed aside more than ten spear shafts. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the elite wolf cavalry charged swiftly, like a sharp sword, and rushed straight to the core area of ​​Cao Jun's formation.

"Don't fall in love with fighting, first meet the lord."

"Come on! Don't hesitate!"

"Come with me!"

"."

Cao Cao's formation broke through in an instant, driving Song Xian in the direction of the river, and it was also possible to break through.

but
Cao Cao still has countermeasures.

He never dared to hope that with such means alone, he would kill the wolf cavalry.

At that moment, he breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hands and ordered: "Quickly withdraw to Mang Mountain, and create a fighting opportunity for Zixiao and Zilian."

The orderly clasped his hands together and said, "No."

Immediately.

The red and green flags flashed, and the order was issued.

Le Jin, Cao Chun and others who were fighting fiercely chose to retreat one after another:
"Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"

　Until the end of this chapter, the two attacking methods of holding spears in the late Han Dynasty have been fully explained, and then when it comes to cavalry, it should be the new style of cavalry tactics!Kneel for a wave of support!
