Waves at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 131 Suicide Charge

In early spring, there are some green shoots on the withered grass roots on the ground.

These sprouts are very soft and fragrant when chewed, as if they have the vitality of the earth, and they are the favorite food of horses.

But now thousands of war horses can't enjoy the food in front of them, because they want to carry their masters to kill their own kind.

There is actually nothing fancy about cavalry hedging, everything is based on strength.

When the speed of the horses is about the same and the formation is complete, it depends on the number, armor, riding skills, and morale.

Of course, in a small-scale confrontation, the martial arts of the general who rushes to the forefront of the cavalry as a drill can still play a big role...

For example, Lu Bu has now turned into the god of death!
He charged at the top of the battle formation, sharpened his halberd, and almost all the oncoming Hun cavalry were stabbed off their horses before they could react.

Because Lu Bu did not gradually slow down the speed of the horse like the Huns on the opposite side during the contact with the soldiers, but still looked like a sports car that kept going at a high speed...

It's just that all obstacles blocking the "front" will be cleared by him in advance.

----

Soon, the hedging was over, and the formations of the Flying Cavalry and the Huns switched positions.

The losses on both sides were not many, the Huns probably lost more than [-] riders, and the Flying Cavalry lost nearly a hundred riders.

The reason why the Huns were still at a disadvantage despite their large number advantage was that apart from Lu Bu's terrifying contribution, they suffered from armor.

Although the flying cavalry is limited by financial resources and supplies, the armor is not as sophisticated as the dragon cavalry, but the basic armor and small battle skirts of the soldiers are still equipped, and they still have a certain degree of protection against arrows, knives and guns.

Unlike the Huns who are mostly leather armor, more of them are naked without armor...

But even with such a battle loss ratio, the Huns still have an advantage, after all, their numbers are too far ahead.

Seeing this, Qiang Qu Shanyu led his men to turn their horses around, ready to do it again. If there were two more confrontations, he would be sure to defeat the Han cavalry army.

But Lu Bu didn't give Qiang Qu a chance, but deliberately showed some cowardice, and took his flying cavalry to the south.

Qiang Qu Shanyu saw that the flying cavalry did not dare to fight, so he galloped up to catch up. He had the superiority in strength and he had the backup, so he didn't worry about the other party's tricks.

It's okay even if the opponent keeps running, as long as the Han people's horsepower is exhausted, it's time for revenge!

The opponent came from a long distance, and the horses carried more weight than his own side, and there was no chance to change horses during the chase. Qiang Qu thought that he would be able to catch up sooner or later.

When Lu Bu saw the enemy taking the bait, he also led the way with a smile, and slowly changed direction. Occasionally, he saw a few knights of the opponent approaching him, and he still did not forget to use his bow to shoot furiously from a long distance.

The south of Fushi City is a small plain, so the pursuit of both sides is not restricted by the terrain, but unconsciously, the direction of travel of the two teams has changed from east to west again...

After running for more than ten miles, the horses of Feiqi began to show signs of fatigue, and they also completely ran out of the range of the plain.

Hearing the closer and more frequent taunts from the Huns behind him, Lu Bu ignored them, and just focused on looking for signs in the forests on both sides of the front.

Soon, with his strong eyesight, Lu Bu noticed something strange in the pine forest in the front right, and immediately asked his personal guards to send orders to the other flying knights to prepare.

----

Qiang Qu Shanyu felt that the victory seemed to be in front of his eyes. He saw that the speed of the Han Qi in front of him had begun to drop significantly, which was obviously caused by the lack of horsepower.

There was also news from the Qiang people in the rear, according to which it did not exceed twenty miles.

As long as these hateful Han cavalry are eliminated, the Qiang people will resume their alliance with their own side, and even have the opportunity to plunder the villages in the south together. This is the condition that Qiang Qu finally found Ouyang Nagu.

For this reason, he also promised that in the future, [-]% of all the proceeds from looting would be given to the Qiang people in exchange.

Of course, it does not include the equipment on the previous Han people, unless you are defeated...

But this was impossible. Thinking that the horses, weapons, armor, and supplies of these Han riders would soon become his own, Qiang Qu Shanyu was very excited, and the previous bad luck and boredom disappeared.

But his excitement caused him to ignore the observation of the surrounding environment. He didn't notice that his side had chased into a downfield area at all, and the entire cavalry formation had become bloated and scattered due to terrain restrictions.

Suddenly, more than [-] Han cavalry rushed out of a pine forest on the right!

----

The number of flying cavalry in ambush is not many, in fact, it can't turn the tide of the battle at all, but the timing and location they choose are a bit sharp...

But when the two sides gradually approached and saw each other's weird behavior, Hu Qi showed a frightened expression!

Gao Shun led the flying cavalry at a near-vertical angle, and rushed towards a relatively weak link in the Huns cavalry formation. In order to prevent the horses from spontaneously adjusting their direction due to fear, the flying cavalry in the front row even covered the horses' legs with sackcloth. Eye!
When the cavalry is charging, there are quite a few gaps between the horses. The horses in the front row usually pass through the gaps, and the horses behind just need to keep up with the ones in front. There are not many cases where horses actually collide.

But the behavior of Flying Rider is undoubtedly rushing to collide. Once collided, it will be extremely dangerous for both parties!
According to Lv Bu's arrangement, the task of Gao Shun and Song Xian was to divide and block the Hu people's cavalry formation. Originally, he asked Gao Shun and others to throw stones and trees from a high place to block the road, and then to strike with bows on both sides. so as to achieve the purpose.

But the world is unpredictable, Gao Shun found that there are very few boulders here after arriving at the location, and it was too late to rely on cutting down trees, so he had to make this dangerous decision in desperation.

Gao Shun actually didn't agree with Lu Bu's tactical arrangement, and he didn't even agree to attack the Hu people again in a short period of time, because it was too risky...

But he was only making suggestions before launching the action. When it came to the critical moment, Gao Shun became even crazier, because he knew that if he couldn't cut off the barbarians, the situation of the general and Qianyu brothers would be very dangerous.

Now this is the only way to stop the enemy army, if you don't make sacrifices, you will put the entire flying cavalry in danger!

In order to boost morale, Gao Shun rode his horse to the forefront. The soldiers were not fools, especially the old soldiers in the Flying Cavalry Army.

Although his martial arts skills are good, his riding skills are not so good, coupled with his bad luck, after cutting down two Hu cavalry in a thrilling manner, the horse under his seat collided.

Fortunately, Gao Shun was well prepared, and at this time he had rushed to the other edge of the Huns' cavalry. Seeing that he could not avoid it, Gao Shun immediately got up and stepped on the horse's back, kicking his legs hard and leaping forward "Jump" to escape...

Although he suffered some injuries on his face, chest, left shoulder, and arm when he landed, fortunately, he took advantage of the momentum to continuously roll to one side when he landed, allowing Gao Shun to avoid the cavalry stampede in two directions.

The general's fearless performance made the rest of the charging flying knights excited, howling and rushing straight ahead!

Soon, countless war horses collided together, and the point of impact formed a huge and still expanding "horse accident" scene.

The horses and pawns piled up here completely cut off the pursuit formation of the Huns, dividing them into two parts, one big and one small.

One part was the Qiangqu Shanyu and nearly a thousand Hun cavalry who were chasing a little forward and had already passed the impact point, and the other part was nearly three thousand cavalry who were blocked in the rear.

Immediately, Song Xian took more than two hundred horses and flew on horseback, holding a bow and shooting furiously at the blocked Hu Qi from the left and right sides, thus completely blocking the two parts separated by the Huns!
