Mi Han

There are many reasons for the large-scale stampede and flee of the cavalry of the Wei army.

The Han army used the Queyue formation to cause a lot of damage to the Wei army's cavalry, which is the most important factor.

When the number of casualties in the cavalry of the Wei army increased, they would naturally feel afraid of the strange formation in front of them.

And when a large number of Han warships appeared on the Han River, the information brought by it also shocked many Wei cavalry troops.

This means that if they are unable to capture the Han army in the Queyue formation for a while, then as time goes by, the Han army can continuously obtain supplementary troops and ordnance from the rear under the cover of the Queyue formation.

Even the Han army can set up a tent in the Queyue formation and slowly fight a war of attrition with them.

This is the advantage of the infantry. As long as the formation is not breached, as long as they can get support, then the war of attrition is the main course of their daily training.

The difference from the infantry is that the Wei army is all cavalry, and they are also cavalry in armor.

The armored cavalry pays attention to the victory of shock.

The training they have received since the day they became an army has been to do everything in one go. The so-called war of attrition is something they have never learned at all, or it is what they are most afraid of.

Under this kind of combat method that pays attention to quick battles and quick decisions, and under the situation that fear has already appeared in the heart, once the Wei Jun cavalry began to charge, the anger was vented by the Han army in the Yueyue formation.

Then it is completely predictable that the cavalry of the Wei army who rushed to the forefront began to have a retreat mentality.

But when the cavalry of Wei Jun in the front army began to retreat, the arc shape of the moon formation became a nightmare for tens of thousands of Wei Jun again.

Because of the arc shape of the Queyue formation, the encirclement formed by the tens of thousands of cavalry troops of the Wei army against the Han army was irregular.

In some places there are more cavalry troops of the Wei army, and in other places there are fewer cavalry troops of the Wei army.

When a large-scale retreat occurs, the large number of cavalry troops of the Wei army always want to flee to a place with a small number of people. This is a subconscious reaction of people under panic.

But it was this reaction that eventually became the catalyst for the collapse of tens of thousands of Wei Jun.

Some Wei Jun cavalry may still be able to maintain some sanity under panic, but the current tens of thousands of Wei Jun's crotch are war horses.

No matter how psychic a war horse is, it is still a beast after all.

In a dense and crowded environment, it is most likely to cause panic.

Especially when Wei Jun was knocked off his horse and made miserable screams, this caused panic on Wei Jun's war horses.

In a panic, the horses under the crotch of Wei Jun's cavalry began to run around, and they even wanted to escape from the world in front of them more than their masters.

In this way, the collapse of tens of thousands of Wei troops could no longer be avoided.

Under the crowded collision, more and more cavalrymen of the Wei army fell off their horses. In the current environment, once a cavalry fell, it was basically a dead end.

The wailing of countless Wei army cavalry and the panic neighing of countless horses rang in the ears of more than 2000 Han soldiers.

More than 2000 Han troops watched the tragic scene in front of them, all they could do was strictly guard their formation.

Because the cavalry army of the Wei army had already collapsed, there were still many cavalry troops of the Wei army rushing towards the Yueyue formation. For these disorderly cavalry troops of the Wei army, Fu Xun calmly commanded the Han army to strangle them one by one.

But in this case, for the sake of safety, the Han army could not rush out of the Queyue formation to kill the Wei army's cavalry.

The current Wei Army cavalry is in a state of chaos. If they lose the protection of the Yueyue Formation, then those Wei Army cavalry who fell off their horses will be a lesson for the Han Army.

What the Han army didn't know was that the scene in front of them would have happened on the banks of the Yellow River hundreds of years later.

"In a moment of collapse, the dead accumulate."

But the cavalry is different from the infantry after all. When the cavalry of the Wei army on the outside ran away, the cavalry of the Wei army surrounded by their own robes seemed to see the hope of life, and fled around more quickly.

It's just that the corpses of Wei Jun's cavalry are already full of Wei Jun's corpses in the moon formation, and there are few Wei Jun's cavalry who dare to run there now.

Although the horses under the crotch could bring an unusually high mobility to the Wei Jun cavalry's retreat, the number of Wei Jun cavalry on the river bank became less and less soon.

Those who can flee have already fled, and those who cannot flee have already been lying on the ground covered in blood and become a member of the "accumulation of the dead".

Not long ago, tens of thousands of cavalry troops of the Wei army rushed towards the Han army like a torrent that seemed to tear everything apart.

But now, with the large-scale rout of the cavalry army of the Wei army, from Fu Xun's sight, the torrent had dissipated in the battlefield in front of him, and all that was left was sadness.

The corpses of many Wei Jun cavalry soldiers were lying on the ground, and the corpses of many Wei Jun cavalry soldiers were beyond recognition. Under the trample of tens of thousands of tall war horses, there were many shriveled places on Wei Jun's corpses.

There are still many war horses in love with the master left on the battlefield. They lowered their heads and arched their masters lying motionless on the ground with their horse noses.

Seeing that the previous pleasing behaviors could not arouse the master's caress as before, those war horses seemed to realize something.

As a result, thousands of war horses raised their heads to the sky and screamed in mourning.

The desolate mourning sound mixed with the drums of the Han army that were still ringing in the battlefield at this time, as if they were playing a farewell song for the dead Wei army cavalry.

Countless blood flowed out from under the bodies of Wei Jun's corpses, then quickly gathered together along the terrain, and quickly flowed towards the feet of thousands of Han troops.

The blood from Wei Jun's corpse finally gathered into a small river of blood.

Under the water of the blood river, the crescent moon formation was like a blood moon buckling upside down on the bank of the Han River. After seeing this scene, the Han army on the building boat felt excited.

The waning moon was stained with blood, the hustle and bustle of the enemy army on the battlefield had passed, only the drums of the Han army were still beating.

And this kind of blood-boiling feeling was felt most strongly in the hearts of the more than 2000 Han soldiers who formed the Queyue formation.

They were the ones who faced the attack of the tens of thousands of cavalry troops of the Wei army. Of course, they could best understand the power brought by the cavalry troops of the Wei army.

At the same time, they were also good fighters carefully selected by Guan Yu from the whole army. Being selected by Guan Yu shows that they have all fought many vicious battles.

But even so, when they first faced the cavalry of the Wei army roaring with unparalleled momentum, they still inevitably felt fear in their hearts.

But under Guan Yu's arrangement, they formed a large formation that had never been seen before.

Then, with the help of this kind of large formation, they successfully defeated more with less, defeated cavalry with a foot, and achieved a task that seemed impossible. How could they not feel excited in their hearts?

It is not without famous generals who have done it with infantry and cavalry, but the record of defeating the world-famous northern cavalry with a strength difference of nearly ten times is enough to shock the world.

This battle will definitely be recorded in the history books and passed down through the ages, and they will also receive great honor.

After realizing this, the thousands of Han soldiers who had just woken up from the joy of the great victory raised their lances and cheered.

After the tip of the lance was lifted up, the blood of the enemy slowly flowed down the tip of the lance along the body of the lance, and finally fell into the hands of more than 2000 Han warriors.

The blood of the enemy is the best compliment to the more than 2000 Han warriors.

No matter how effective the Queyue formation arranged by Guan Yu played in this battle, if there were no more than 2000 Han warriors who resolutely blocked the enemy, no matter how good the formation was, it would not be effective.

When the cheers of more than 2000 Han troops reached the boats on the Han River, Guan Yu stopped beating the drums in good time.

During the tens of thousands of cavalry troops from the Wei army attacking the Queyue formation just now, the sound of drumming led by the Han general Guan Yu never stopped.

It can be said that this majestic and continuous drumbeat was the most important guarantee for directly boosting the morale of the Han army in the great battle just now.

Everyone has fear. Since the cavalry of the Wei army will be afraid of a large number of casualties, then the Han army will naturally be too.

But when the Han army was afraid, it was Guan Yu who beat the drums to boost morale, and Guan Yu dispatched many Han warships in time to serve as a firm barrier for the Han army on the shore.

If Guan Yu hadn't been there, many Han soldiers might have dropped their weapons in fright before the Wei cavalry could rush forward.

With Guan Yu's current prestige in the army, even if he deliberately appeared in front of the two armies, as long as the Han army knew that he was behind, the morale of the Han army would not be greatly damaged.

Guan Yu's status in the Han Dynasty has long surpassed that of ordinary generals, and he has become the spiritual leader in the eyes of the Han army.

And when he heard the cheers of the Han army on the shore, Guan Yu also realized that he had won the battle.

After realizing this, Guan Yu stopped beating the drum and threw the drumstick to the guards beside him.

But when the drumstick was released, Guan Yu immediately felt a soreness in his muscles, especially the arm that was seriously injured at the beginning.

Sensing the soreness, Guan Yu just waved his hand casually to dispel the soreness, and didn't pay much attention to it.

If he had been beating the war drums for a whole day when he was young, he wouldn't have felt anything.

After throwing the drumstick to the guard beside him, Guan Yu strode to the parapet of the building boat and looked down.

After seeing the scene on the shore, a little smile appeared on his face.

And when Guan Yu was standing on the side of the female wall on the building ship, the Han army on the surrounding warships cheered as happily as the Han army on the shore after seeing Guan Yu's figure appear.

Although Fu Xun and Liao Hua were in charge of the battle today, everyone in the Han army knew that the commander in charge of the battle was their general Guan Yu.

Moreover, the reason why this battle can be won today, and why the moon formation can appear in advance on the land of China hundreds of years ago, the biggest hero is not Mi Yang, but Guan Yu.

If the Queyue Formation is to be successfully implemented, the key point is not the chariots, but the key points to form the Queyue Formation are the terrain and the water army.

The restraint of cavalry by chariots has been recorded in many military books, and many famous generals have also used this method.

But the combination of chariots, navy, and terrain is all the factors that can form the Moon Formation.

Without Guan Yu's single-handed training, the Jingzhou navy with strong combat effectiveness in both land and water, and without Guan Yu's absolute water control over the Han River, then the Moon Formation would not have been able to appear in this world.

So even if Mi Yang, the traverser, knew about the excellent case of using a foot to defeat cavalry, but when he faced Wei Jun's cavalry, he couldn't replicate it.

In the contemporary world, the only one who can learn from Liu Yu's Yuezheng to achieve a shocking classic battle of using a foot to defeat a cavalry is the Han general Guan Yu.

Among the armies of the Han Dynasty, Jingzhou is the strongest!
Hearing the cheers of the Han army constantly coming from his ears, Guan Yu did not show pride on his face.

He already has too much glory, and he is happy about today's big victory, but he is not complacent.

The reason why Guan Yu was happy was that after today's battle, the Han army under his command could no longer be restrained by the Wei army's cavalry, and there was another very important reason.

For the second reason, Guan Yu immediately ordered the Han army on the warship to go ashore to clean up the battlefield.

Next, he will send a big gift to the enemy of the big man.

Because the First Battle on the banks of the Han River took place more than ten miles away from Fancheng, Cao Xiu, who was surrounded by the Han army in Fancheng, didn't know it.

Even he didn't know the "proud record" achieved by the Wei Army's cavalry in the previous period.

Cao Xiu has only one thought now, and that is to hold on to Fancheng.

As long as Fancheng and Yancheng are not lost, Guan Yu will definitely retreat after a few months of delay.

Although Jingzhou has just finished the autumn harvest this year, Jingzhou has been in constant war for the past ten years, and its population and fields have been seriously damaged.

Under such circumstances, how long can the grain harvested in Jingzhou last a year last for Guan Yu's army?
At least half a year.

Cao Xiu, as the second generation who was deeply appreciated by Cao Cao, his knowledge and talent are naturally not bad.

Although Cao Xiu's character is more inclined to take the initiative to attack, when facing an opponent like Guan Yu, Cao Xiu rationally chose the road of sticking to the enemy and retreating.

Just like his predecessor Cao Ren back then.

But when Cao Xiu was in the general's mansion in Fancheng, looking at the defense map of Fancheng and carefully checking for omissions, Cao Xiu's military adviser Zhao Yan rushed in.

When Cao Xiu saw that Zhao Yan, whom he had always regarded as a think tank, rushed in so eagerly, he immediately realized that something big had happened.

Cao Xiu stood up and asked Zhao Yan eagerly before he could speak, "Boran, but Guan Yu led the bandit army to attack the city?"

Now Cao Xiu is most concerned about this.

But for Cao Xiu's guess, Zhao Yan shook his head immediately, but after shaking his head, the expression on Zhao Yan's face did not relax, but became more and more heavy.

Zhao Yan hurriedly told Cao Xiu what he saw on the city wall just now.

"Outside the city, the thieves placed thousands of corpses of our cavalry."

When Zhao Yanhuai said this matter with a heavy tone, Cao Xiu's brain thoughts seemed a little dull for a moment.

Infantry versus cavalry?
Thousands of cavalry died in battle?
After absorbing these two points of information from Zhao Yan's words, Cao Xiu immediately blurted out:
"Impossible, it's absolutely impossible."

"This must be Guan Yu's scheme."

As Cao Xiu, who had commanded the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry back then, he knew the advantages of the cavalry.

It is not surprising that Guan Yu has the ability to defeat cavalry with infantry, but if Guan Yu can kill thousands of cavalry on his own with infantry, then Cao Xiu would not believe it.

Only the cavalry can cause the same damage to the cavalry.

Cao Xiu, whose old ideas have been severely impacted, now reacts very strongly.
