The Three Kingdoms began with island farming

Chapter 657 The Highest Pursuit
The stagnation of the front-row cavalry blocked the way for the charging cavalry in the rear.

The first row of halberd warriors holding huge shields formed a shield wall, and when they felt the pressure beginning to decrease, they did not hesitate to open up some gaps in the shield wall.

The halberd warriors in the back two rows stretched out their halberds, which were more than ten feet long, and swept across.

As a type of soldier with high defense and low attack, the attack speed of the halberd soldiers is only at the level of ordinary infantry.

If facing ordinary enemies, there will be no problem, but if facing a strong army like the Military Soul Legion, it can easily become a flaw.

Therefore, in order to make up for this shortcoming, the Halberdiers used long halberds as weapons and even named themselves after them.

The huge halberd not only has a wide attack range and strong functionality, but the multi-layered halberd forest it forms can also serve a defensive purpose.

The Halberd Warrior's attack method is not a one-on-one charge, but a range sweep.

Rely on superior physical strength, power and organizational ability to make up for the lack of flexibility.

The front row of shields retreated about a foot like a tide, and two rows of halberds pierced out diagonally like a black forest, drawing cold arcs in the morning light.

The Kushan cavalry had not yet recovered from the dizziness of the collision when their ribs were broken by the halberds that swept across them. Some were even directly thrown into the air and hit heavily on the cavalry beside them.

An extremely simple and crude way of attack.

Relying on their own toughness and strong stamina, the Halberd Warriors never care about killing the enemy with one strike, but rather prefer large-scale blunt attacks.

As long as the enemy cannot break through the formation, they will be swept continuously by the forest of halberds until they die.

Singh watched helplessly as his personal guards were swept to the ground by the long spears, unable to move forward or backward, his eyes full of disbelief.

"how so!"

The attack range of the halberd warriors far exceeded the cavalry's spears and scimitars, and the huge shields they carried blocked the charge route. The entire Kushan Guards Cavalry Battalion was like being put into a narrow slaughterhouse, at the mercy of others.

On the cliff, Shen Pei watched this scene from afar and smiled faintly: "It is indeed so!"

It would have been fine if they had not gotten the clearest information about the Kushan's several elite legions, such as the Guards Infantry Battalion and the Elephant Corps.

How could the Guards Cavalry Battalion, which had fought against the Northern Huns many times, not know any news?
Even if they could not get a glimpse of his full strength, just by knowing his battle record and style, Yuan Shao's civil officials could deduce his approximate talent direction and make designs accordingly.

The Halberd Warrior is the trump card that Yuan Shao prepared for the Kushan Guard Cavalry Battalion.

Since the Kushan Guards Cavalry Battalion is best at charging and trampling the camp, Yuan Shao will prepare an iron lump that is impossible to step on for them!

"You are like a reckless bull that always rushes recklessly, and now you have bumped into an iron wall. Let's see how you will end up." Shen Pei said with a hint of sarcasm.

He had suffered repeated setbacks when fighting in the Central Plains before.

But after breaking out of the Central Plains war, he was still the world's top commander.

The Halberd Warrior is actually not as powerful as imagined, but more like a backup card.

To put it bluntly, it can only create an iron wall on the battlefield that the enemy cannot pass through.

If the enemy bypasses or the terrain is open, the role of the halberd warriors will be extremely limited.

Because the defects of heavy infantry are too obvious, such as slow speed and weak offensive capability, they often do not have an advantage compared to other types of troops.

The reason why Yuan Shao strongly promoted the halberd soldiers was that he had many elite soldiers and generals who were good at large-scale army combat and frontal assault. They did not need a sharp blade at all, but such a trump card for turning the tables.

You can exchange pieces with the opponent's Military Soul Legion, and sometimes it can have miraculous effects, like now.

Singh is a warrior, but not a reckless man.

After launching three concentrated charges in a row, he still failed to shake the enemy in front of him. Instead, the Halberd Warriors took advantage of the opportunity to harvest many heads. He could only admit defeat. "Go around the enemy in front of us and charge to the right!" Singer roared without hesitation after taking a look at the two cavalrymen behind the Halberd Warriors.

The first few rows of enemy cavalry on the left are all wearing full horse armor, and they look like tough guys.

Although the enemy cavalry on the right also had some heavily armored cavalry, their number was obviously smaller and their formation was looser.

After being directly killed by the halberd warriors, Singh's confidence was shattered. At this time, he no longer arrogantly believed that the Kushan Guards Cavalry Battalion was invincible.

It was a matter of life and death. The morale of the Kushan Guards Cavalry Battalion had greatly declined due to the recent setback, so Singh naturally had to act more cautiously.

Singh's order sounded like thunder, and the remaining guards cavalry suddenly turned to the right and rushed towards the Han cavalry that looked more disorganized.

Lu Bu gently spurred his Red Hare, holding the painted halberd casually in his hand, and stood in front of the three thousand carefully selected elite Bingzhou Wolf Riders. Looking at the Kushan Guards Cavalry Battalion rushing towards him, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It seems that you treat me as a soft persimmon." Lu Bu said dimly.

On the other side, Yan Liang and Wen Chou looked at the Kushan Guard Cavalry Battalion, which had chosen Lu Bu as its opponent, with sympathy and regret.

"You really know how to pick your opponents." Yan Liang muttered speechlessly.

Against them, this cavalry might still have a chance of breaking through the formation, but against the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry led by Lu Bu himself...

Do you really think that the Bingzhou Wolf Riders, which are as famous as the Military Soul Corps, are just a compliment? That has been tested in actual combat.

First they ran into the Halberd Soldiers, and then they ran into the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. The brain of this Kushan cavalry commander is really amazing!

"What a pity! What a good opportunity!" Wen Chou, who was more thoughtful, said with some regret.

When he saw Singh leading the charge with the Kushan Guards Cavalry Battalion, he realized why they were placed on the second line of defense along with Lu Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.

This is an opportunity for them to be promoted to the Military Soul Corps!

The birth of any military soul corps is by no means easy. It can be said that the military soul corps that can be created have basically appeared.

It is extremely difficult to rebuild the Military Soul Corps. The easiest way is to destroy a Military Soul Corps head-on.

Whether it is using luck like Liu Fan, or accumulating by killing enemies bit by bit, the cost and risk are too high.

Yuan Shao had thought about putting Han Meng in the position of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, but facing the Kushan Guard Cavalry Battalion, Han Meng's incomplete rapid-shooting crossbowmen could not stop them at all and would most likely be defeated directly.

Therefore, the only choice is to put Yan Liang and Wen Chou on the stage.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou also had their own concerns.

Even though they know that they are still a long way from the Military Soul Corps, and may not even have a chance in this lifetime, they will never give up.

Because that is the ultimate pursuit of every general.

Lu Bu looked at the Kushan Guard Cavalry charging towards him with excitement.

He actually doesn't have much obsession with the so-called Military Soul Legion.

With 30,000 iron cavalry, even the strongest military soul corps would be defeated by him.

It’s a pity that there are really no capable generals under his command, so he has to go on his own.

"Use your blood to ignite the military spirit of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry." Lu Bu murmured.
