My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 199: Kill the general and seize the flag!

Gao Shun has already grasped the tactical essence of armored cavalry.

He abandoned the bow and arrow and his flexibility.

All that was left was the spear in his hand and the scimitar at his waist.

All that remains is the spirit of moving forward courageously and not turning back until you hit a wall.

Gao Shun, whose speed had been pushed to the limit, immediately led the 800 cavalrymen behind him and stabbed into the heart of the Hutuo tribe, which was huge but bloated and slow, like a sharp knife.

They were armed with simple spears with wooden iron tips.

Once close to the enemy, one second before making contact with the enemy, he would throw the spear in his hand towards the enemy.

Under the inertia of the horse, which had already charged to its limit and reached its speed, the flying spear suddenly turned into Shura's weapon to claim his life.

Hundreds of Xianbei people were immediately stabbed off their horses by long spears containing enormous power.

The enormous force even caused the wooden shaft of the spear to explode the moment it came into contact with the enemy. The exploded wooden spikes formed a second attack, sweeping the surrounding Xianbei light cavalry. However, the eight hundred heavy cavalry were armed to the teeth and were not afraid of even bows and arrows, so why should they be afraid of these small wooden spikes?

During the charge of heavy cavalry.

The cavalrymen had no need to use their own strength at all.

Their main role is to control the horses under their crotch to maintain the formation and direction of the attack.

It means relying on the weapon in your hand.

Under the huge inertia, the weapon in his hand is fiercely inserted into the opponent's vital points.

If you touch it, you will be injured; if you are hit, you will die!
On the contrary, if you don't let go, you will stab the enemy directly.

Instead, you will suffer a huge reaction force, and in the worst case, the hand holding the weapon will be torn apart instantly.

In serious cases, you will die together with the enemy.

However, Gao Shun has turned attacking into an instinct for his men in normal battles.

Therefore, everyone accurately dropped his weapon at the last moment, nailing the enemy to death without suffering any injuries themselves.

Only Gao Shun, relying on his martial arts, always held the spear in his hand, and either stabbed, stabbed, or swept, achieving a record far beyond that of other heavy cavalry.

The morale of the Hutuo warriors, which had just been boosted by their chief, was immediately annihilated by Gao Shun's ruthless charge.

When they saw these iron men who were armed to the teeth and were not afraid of bows and arrows or swords, they were all terrified and hurriedly steered their mounts to run to both sides, not daring to confront them at all.

Gao Shun didn't care about the other fleeing cavalry.

Long before the attack, Gao Shun received an order from Lu Yi to go straight to Hutuo's camp and kill the slave leader Hutuo.

Therefore, Gao Shun always held Hu Tuo's central army flag firmly.

After the other eight hundred guys threw away their disposable spears, they drew weapons such as scimitars or meteor hammers from their waists.

The scimitar is very suitable for cavalry combat, while the Han army's sword is straight and not as suitable as the scimitar.

Even if the scimitar hits the enemy, the arc will easily cut the wound and expand the injury, and it is not easy to get stuck in the enemy's wounds and bones.

Once the Han army's straight swords got stuck between bones and armor, they would easily hurt themselves due to the huge inertia, so they could only be used for slashing.

The scimitar was made for slashing.

Last year, Lu Yi wiped out the Zhade tribe and obtained many scimitars, which came in handy.

The meteor hammer is a powerful weapon for cavalry warfare.

This blunt weapon can transmit 100% of the force to the enemy, even though the hammer head of the meteor hammer weighs only a few pounds.

But if you strike the enemy, it will definitely make a hole.

Hitting the head will break the skull, and hitting the chest will break the ribs.

Helmets and armor can only defend against swords, bows and arrows, and cannot provide effective defense against such blunt weapons.

Eight hundred cavalrymen immune to swords, spears, and bows and arrows, led by Gao Shun, rushed straight towards Hu Tuo.

It was like a red-hot knife piercing into butter.

He easily tore the 4,000 light cavalry of the Hutuo tribe, which outnumbered him by a large margin, in half, exposing the tribe leader Hutuo. "Old thief!"

"You Xianbei people are Han dogs. Instead of guarding the border for the imperial court, you bully your own masters. The Hu people are really ruthless and heartless!"

"Come and die!"

Huto's clothes were extraordinary, especially the scimitar inlaid with countless treasures in his hand, which immediately exposed his identity.

Gao Shun shouted loudly and rode his horse towards Hu Tuo.

"Han dog!"

"Haven't you heard that the strong are respected? Now that the Xianbei are rising, the Han people will surely be destroyed by them!"

"Grandpa's life is here, come and take it yourself if you have the guts!"

Seeing that Gao Shun seemed to be the commander of the 800 cavalrymen, Hu Tuo also planned to capture the leader first, so he spurred his horse to meet him.

In the ancient era of cold weapons, all power rests with the commander-in-chief.

If the commander-in-chief was captured or killed, it would not only be a huge blow to the morale of his own side.

It will also immediately destroy one's own command system, causing chaos in the army and making the soldiers lose their will to fight.

Therefore, beheading the general and seizing the flag can be regarded as the first merit.

Both of them wanted to kill or capture the other as quickly as possible in order to undermine the opponent's morale and destroy the opponent's command system, so as to win without fighting.

"Look at the gun!"

Gao Shun stabbed Hu Tuo with his spear.

As Hutuo is the tribe's foremost warrior and has roamed the grasslands for twenty years, he is certainly no show-off.

He raised his scimitar and blocked Gao Shun's spear.

Gao Shun was not at all panicked when he saw that his weapon was trapped. His exposed eyes revealed a cruel smile.

He actually rode his horse straight towards Huto.

"What……!"

Hu Tuo was shocked when he saw this, and immediately dropped Gao Shun's spear and tried to move aside.

Although Hu Tuo was fully equipped with light armor, he was far from being able to compete with Gao Shun who was armed to the teeth.

If the two collided, Gao Shun might be injured, but he would definitely be killed.

"Haha, the old thief fell into the trap!"

But Gao Shun used the strategy of attacking the heart.

He saw Huto trying to dodge to the side, and the gap at his waist opened.

He immediately slowed down his horse, swung his spear back, and stabbed Huto in the right waist.

Hu Tuo's light armor was like paper in front of Gao Shun's specially made fine steel spear, and the tip of the spear easily pierced deeply into it.

Afterwards, Gao Shun continued his moves and even lightly twisted the tip of the gun, crushing Hu Tuo's cruel and ruthless behavior into pieces!
"what!

Suffering such a severe blow, Hutto only had time to scream before he fell off his horse with blood spitting out of his mouth.

When he fell, his eyes stared blankly at the sky, and his cunning and ambition gradually disappeared.

When Gao Shun saw that the bandit leader Hu Tuo had been killed, he immediately stepped forward and chopped down Hu Tuo's flag with a spear. Then he swept his spear across Hu Tuo's neck, chopped off his head and lifted it up with the tip of the spear.

He held Hutuo's head high and shouted loudly in Xianbei language.

"Huto is dead!"
