Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 862: Defeat of the Han Wuzu
Regardless of financial resources, whether it is armored heavy cavalry or archer cavalry, the requirements for soldiers' riding skills are much higher than those of ordinary cavalry. In Gao Shun's mind, in the whole world, only Guan Yu's Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry and Zhao Yun's Flying Feather Knights, after numerous selections and with the assistance of this full set of saddle accessories, can achieve their current power.

But the Xiahou brothers obviously also achieved this.

The two men led thousands of cavalrymen under their command and attacked from both sides.

"Hold them off."

Gao Shun immediately gave orders, and the messenger beside him waved the military flags, and the 30,000 Han soldiers in front immediately began to change their formation.

"Boom...boom...boom..."

Accompanied by waves of heavy footsteps, the Han Wuzu soldiers quickly dispersed to both sides. Holding heavy shields and spears, they chased after the cavalry of the Xiahou brothers.

Although the cavalry was faster than the infantry, they came from far away and were not as fast as the Han Wu soldiers who were spreading out on both sides.

In a very short time, 30,000 Han soldiers separated into two rows, stretching about ten thousand feet from north to south, like a city wall, blocking Cao's army.

Some Cao's soldiers tried to charge forward, but once the Han Wuzu's heavy shields and spears formed a formation, not to mention the enemy soldiers, even tigers and wild beasts could not get through.

"Enter."

As soon as Gao Shun gave the order, the two rows of Han soldiers moved forward step by step like two moving Great Walls.

"Kill, kill, kill."

The Han Wu soldiers were the most elite troops in the army, selected from the most sturdy and brave men. They had meat for every meal three times a day. Not to mention in the army, even among the aristocratic families in many small counties, such meals were a luxury.

It was precisely because of such supplies, coupled with Gao Shun's seemingly "inhuman" strict training, that these 30,000 soldiers became strong and muscular, like wolves and tigers. What's more, they were all experienced in hundreds of battles and had killed countless enemies. Now, 30,000 people shouting the word "kill" at the same time made people feel murderous and shocking.

It seemed that the few thousand Cao cavalry were about to be blocked by the two "city walls" and unable to cross, but the Xiahou brothers suddenly gave an order, and then just twenty or thirty steps away from the Han Wu soldiers, the two teams of cavalry suddenly turned around. Their agility and speed were so shocking that even a calm man like Gao Shun was greatly shocked.

"Where did Cao's army train such cavalry?"

The two teams of cavalry were extremely swift, and their speed was obviously much faster than when they charged over before.

"Change the formation quickly. Don't let them get behind the Han soldiers."

Gao Shun also became a little anxious.

The Han soldiers hurriedly tried to turn around and change their formation, but Xiahou Yuan suddenly shouted, "Draw your bows..."

Gao Shun clenched his hands and said, "Not good."

He had just uttered the word "good" when Xiahou Yuan shouted again, "Let go."

Thousands of arrows suddenly shot into the sky, and after circling in a perfect arc, they fell on the heads of the Han soldiers.

This incident happened so suddenly that the 30,000 Han soldiers had no time to react, and only a few of them managed to hide under the heavy shields in time.

"Puff puff……"

“Ding dong dong dong…”

The sound of arrows hitting people and heavy shields was heard continuously. Then, Xiahou Yuan launched the second and third waves of arrows. In a blink of an eye, more than a thousand Han soldiers were killed or wounded.

Gao Shun's eyes were about to burst, he was filled with hatred and fear: "Quick, retreat."

When the military order was given, the Han soldiers raised their heavy shields and retreated.

However, at this time Xiahou Dun laughed wildly again: "Haha, Gao Shun, I'll let you see how powerful a certain family is."

It turned out that just when Xiahou Yuan was shooting arrows and attracted Gao Shun's attention, Xiahou Dun had already led several thousand heavily armored cavalry on his side and successfully bypassed the defense line formed by the Han Wu soldiers.

"Suffer to death."

Xiahou Dun was so excited that his face was twisted. He was defeated and captured by Gao Shun in Chenliu and imprisoned for several months. He regarded it as a shame in his life. All he thought about day and night was revenge. Now he finally had the chance to get what he wanted. How could he not be excited?
At this moment, the spear in his hand was like an angry dragon, roaring and killing the Han Wu soldiers from behind, and the thousands of heavily armored cavalry he brought with him were also ruthless, rushing forward and attacking frequently.

In just a few moments, nearly a thousand Han soldiers who were preparing to retreat were killed.

Cao Cao, who was far away, looked relieved as he saw the situation reversed. His clenched fists gradually opened, leaving only two deep blood marks on his palms.

"Fortunately, General Xiahou Yuan saw through the wonderful use of the Han army's cavalry equipment that day. Over the past few months, our army has devoted almost all its resources to making more than 10,000 sets of horse equipment and training these 6,000 archers and 4,000 heavy armored cavalry. In today's battle, we have defeated the Han Wuzu. It is really powerful."

Cheng Yu stroked his beard, his face relaxed, no longer showing the nervous look he had before.

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Miao Cai has always been a meticulous thinker. When our army surrounded Chenliu, the Han army's grain convoy passed through our military camp and was about to enter Chenliu City. Miao Cai just stepped forward and took a few glances, and he understood the mystery. This is really beyond the reach of ordinary people. Today, we defeated the Han army, and Miao Cai should be the first to be credited with the merit."

Everyone around him agreed with what he said.

Guo Jia said, "Liu He has been riding the roost for more than ten years. His cavalry is so powerful that even the Xiongnu, Xianbei and other Hu peoples cannot match him. Now I know the key. The double stirrups are a powerful weapon for cavalry. It's a good thing that Liu He could think of it."

"Haha, Liu He's army has rarely encountered an opponent in recent years, especially the Purple Gold Dragon Cavalry and Flying Feather Cavalry. So far, not to mention losing a battle, even if they suffer very little damage in each battle, and since they win, they are also responsible for cleaning up the battlefield, so it is difficult for the enemy to obtain the corpses of the enemy's cavalry. Naturally, they don't know the mystery. Only General Xiahou Yuan's discerning eyes can achieve this feat."

Xizhong gave a brief analysis and everyone nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yuan Rang has killed Gao Shun."

Everyone was surprised and delighted. They turned their heads and saw that Xiahou Dun had led his 4,000 heavily armored cavalry and was less than 300 steps away from Gao Shun.

"Okay, as long as we can capture Gao Shun, our army will be sure to win this battle, and there will be no more worries."

Cheng Yu clapped his hands excitedly, and his eyes became bloodshot.

The Han Wu soldiers were the most elite troops of the Luoyang court.

Gao Shun was the first general under Liu He.

Both are invincible and never admit defeat.

It is for this reason that defeating them and achieving eternal fame has become the common dream of strategists and generals all over the world.
