Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 255 Great Han Cavalry
Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the most famous army in the Three Kingdoms era.

In history, this cavalry unit conquered three counties in the north, ran for thousands of miles, and captured Shan Yutadun, who was known as the reincarnation of "Modun"; Once traveled three hundred miles a day and night, chasing Liu Bei in Changban, and killed Liu Bei's wife, Mrs. Mi, who threw herself into a well...

This army consists of hundreds of soldiers, each of whom is used to fighting, and is unstoppable; this army has always been controlled by the direct descendants of the Cao family; the most important thing is that this army has never fought Any defeat!
And today, Cao Cao led this army and officially stepped into the troubled times of the end of Han Dynasty, making the world frightened by the first step.Although, before that, those Yellow Turban soldiers were astonished when they heard the name Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, but they had never been well known by the Kwantung heroes.

However, after today, everything will change!
From the moment when these two thousand cavalry vanguards dared to launch a brazen and fearless charge against Yuan Shu's actual 18 and claimed 30 troops, they were destined to be the most eye-catching preface to this battle!It is also the bloodiest and most colorful opening.

Seeing that Cao Cao dared to charge towards him with two thousand cavalry and three thousand infantry, Yuan Shu really didn't know whether he should be angry or laugh.

Five thousand versus 18?Even if you use an egg to hit a stone to describe it, it is too flattering to Cao Cao.

What's more, although Yuan Shu is arrogant and domineering, after all, he used to be the head of the alliance for the south, and he was also a general who once led the army in battle!

"Come here, order the pikemen to form a horse-repelling formation to block Cao Cao's cavalry. The crossbowmen shot fiercely, and shot Cao Cao, an eunuch who knows nothing about heaven and earth, into a sieve!"

It has to be said that Yuan Shu's countermeasure is very correct.But it's a pity that just when Yuan Shu was complacently preparing to see the glory of his victory in the first battle, he found that the reaction of this army was not at all what he expected.

Facing Cao Cao's cavalry team of only 1, there were a full [-] soldiers in front. After receiving the military order, instead of following the order, they immediately fell into a chaotic commotion.

Yuan Shu was furious, and angrily dispatched law enforcement teams to drive those soldiers away.At this time, he already remembered that those soldiers in front were the strong troops he had captured from the Jing and Yang areas.Although they had fought a few battles, they had never seen two thousand cavalry charging together in the south, let alone the experience of fighting a strong enemy in an open field.

Facing the brazen and fearless charge of Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry, even though these soldiers knew that the horse repelling formation composed of long spears could resist the cavalry's charge, they looked around and saw the same meaning in each other's eyes: What made us die first? !
Yes, the tiger and leopard cavalry's fiery charge indeed created a terrifying whirlwind, but for Yuan Shu's soldiers who were mixed in the 18 army, it was Cao Cao's half sentence just now that gave them a demon. —Soldiers who dare to hold their spears on the ground and face the rolling iron cavalry without moving, in addition to having nerves as tough as steel wires, more importantly, they must have the consciousness of resolute and no regrets!

This, they never had.

They are just a group of poor people living in troubled times. They didn't even join the army to fill their stomachs. They were just cannon fodder that were forcibly thrown into the death camp by those vicious soldiers.

So, at the moment when Cao Cao's two thousand tiger and leopard riders charged forward, they showed their housekeeping skills: run!
As a result, the spearman at the front didn't stick his spear obliquely into the mud at all, but simply let the spear lie flat on the ground, and then fled back directly.

Those archers, even more so, just shot an arrow hastily as if they were dealing with business, and then dropped their bows and arrows to escape without even looking at them.

Seeing that the vanguard of Yuan Shu's army was so vulnerable, the tiger and leopard riders felt that they had been insulted, and urged their long whips to charge towards Yuan Shu's army even harder.The gleaming silver spears gleamed with bloodthirsty desires, advancing aggressively and swiftly, and finally when the vanguard cavalry spattered a splash of blood, the tiger and leopard cavalry burst into thunderous shouts!

On the other hand, Yuan Jun, when they saw the troops in front being slaughtered by tiger and leopard knights who looked like murderous demon kings one by one, the bright red blood and Zi Junpao Ze's mournful howl before his death instantly became the last thing that overwhelmed their fear. straw.One person ran for his life, and a hundred people rushed to the number one after another.I don't know who yelled: "Damn is coming, run away..."

The voice was sharp and frightening. After all, before he finished shouting, his whole body was strung onto the spear by a knight riding a tiger and leopard.The hiss that inspired all the vitality of life was extremely clear at this moment, as if it was transmitted to the entire battlefield in an instant, setting a sharp and terrifying tone for this battle.

As a result, Yuan Shu was dumbfounded by how the whole battle was going on.He frantically urged the messengers to pass on his orders, so that those damned soldiers could stir up their consciences and show off the aura of Yuan Shu, the fourth and fifth princes, and a famous family.But all the soldiers and generals seemed to be disobeying his orders. Yuan Shu was so angry that he swung his sword and hacked to death three or four messengers who came up to report the situation of the defeated army.

"No, no, I won't lose. How could I lose to Cao Cao's 5000 men?!" Yuan Shu's eyes were bloodshot at this moment. become distraught.Suddenly, Yuan Shu seemed to have thought of something, and shouted: "Use cavalry against cavalry, yes, we also have cavalry!"

At this moment, on a small hill at the Kuang Pavilion, there are no banners covering the sky and the sun, only a few simple and desolate horns.Behind those horns, there are eight thousand Hun rangers who are ready to fight but are indifferent to the battlefield ahead.

"Tiger and Leopard Cavalry..." Yu Fuluo muttered the name quietly, his eyes flickered because of the powerful combat power of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and his complexion became paler and weaker due to the torment of the old pain: "When we fought against Cao Mengde, he This cavalry has not been used yet. From today's point of view, if he had revealed this cavalry that time, I am afraid that he would not need to use that trick to lure the enemy."

"Shan Yu, we heard that this cavalry team was organized by Cao Chun, the younger brother of Cao Mengde's tribe. When we fought with our army that day, this cavalry team had not yet formed." Qu Bei wiped his forehead with lingering fear. Sweating coldly, looking everywhere, it was a knight riding a tiger and leopard who was leaning over to avoid a random arrow, and killed another enemy soldier with his backhand.

"I really don't know whether Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry is stronger than the Xiliang iron cavalry of the Han Dynasty, or our Xiongnu cavalry?" After all, Liu Bao is young. Compare the tiger and leopard cavalry with the world-famous iron cavalry.

"This?..." Qu Bei Wenyan, without letting go of his hand to wipe his sweat, stroked his little braid and said in thought: "We Huns are also veterans of cavalry. The best cavalry in the world is nothing but Youzhou Karasuma, Liangzhou Qiang people and our Bingzhou Xiongnu are three types, but tiger and leopard cavalry are not at all different from these three."

Qubei frowned, set up an awning to watch the tiger and leopard riders in the distance and continued: "The cavalry relies on horses. Youzhou and Bingzhou are both northern horses. They are short in stature and have excellent endurance, so Karasuma and us The Xiongnu mainly used long-distance outflanking and archery on light cavalry on the battlefield, and their riding skills were flexible and stable, and they could fight for a long time."

"Liangzhou war horses are Hequ horses. Their bodies are majestic and powerful, but they can't last long and consume a lot of forage. Therefore, they are good at charging short distances on the battlefield and breaking through heavy armor. Therefore, riding skills pay attention to the training and changes in the gait of war horses, so that they can Sprinting with explosive power is very different from the previous riding techniques."

"How about tiger and leopard riders..." Qu Bei was disdainful at first, and sneered: "Their horses have neither stamina nor explosive power. They belong to the inferior horses introduced from the Central Plains." After saying this, Qu Bei's face became serious again. : "However, their horror is not in the horses, but in the people. You see, almost every one of them is a warrior who is proficient in martial arts, and they can also use some moves to kill the enemy. In a duel, if there are less than 500 people, the tiger and leopard cavalry should have the upper hand; if there are more than 500 people, the cavalry will probably lose."

"Then how about going against our Hun Rangers?" Liu Bao listened to Qubei's explanation, and the more he listened, the more he felt it made sense.Therefore, he was very eager to get an answer from Qu Bei.

However, Qubei just shook his head, and said inscrutablely: "Our Hun cavalry will never confront Xiliang iron cavalry or tiger and leopard cavalry head-on."

The implication is that when the Xiongnu cavalry is in a decisive battle on the real battlefield, they will have pressure on the Xiliang cavalry and the tiger and leopard cavalry.After all, what I said before going to the base is very clear, the point of the Xiongnu rangers lies in the word 'you', they are more suitable to use mobility and endurance to wear down and wear down the enemy.

"Hmph, what nonsense!" At this moment, a grim sneer came into Qu Bei's ears: "We Huns are the most vigorous eagles on the grassland, and we are the descendants of the Lord of the Earth, the Kunlun God, enjoying the blessings of the Kunlun God. With courage and courage, how could he be no match for Xiliang iron cavalry and this kind of Central Plains people who can't even ride a horse?!"

After the man finished speaking, he ignored the annoyed look on his face, and raised his arms to the Huns behind him: "Am I right, warriors on the grassland?"

"Drink!" First some cronies who guarded Hu Chuquan shouted loudly, and then all the Huns shouted together: "King Zuoxian is right!"

Yu Fuluo watched this scene quietly, held down Liu Bao who was about to draw his sword without any trace, gave Liu Bao a determined look, and then smiled and said to Hu Chuquan: "Brother, you are my Hun's Pride is the most ferocious wolf on the grassland. You see, that idiot Yuan Shu is going to let us play, would you like to go charge instead of my old wolf king?"
