Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 507 Trapped in the Camp VS Tiger and Leopard Cavalry

A force that is famous all over the world, its prestige is no different from its previous achievements.The achievement of this kind of record may be due to the excellent equipment and the bravery of the soldiers, but more importantly, it is the general who commanded it.

The excellent equipment and the bravery of the soldiers can only guarantee that the combat power of this army is superior to that of ordinary troops.But such an advantage cannot be linked to turning the tide.On the contrary, if the generals commanding it have completely rigidified this concept, and even made it a must-use move in every difficult situation, then the result can only turn the bravery of this army into a tragic sacrifice.

Xiahou Dun was completely unaware of this.

Cao Cao was able to defeat Yuan Shu's army with tigers and leopards. That's because Cao Cao knew before that although Yuan Shu's army was large and powerful, it had the fatal drawback of inconsistent military spirit and unbalanced leadership.Using elite tiger and leopard riders to drive straight in is tantamount to pouring soup and snow, which can instantly cause the shortcomings of Yuan Shu's army to be magnified suddenly, and even lead to the subsequent collapse of the whole army.

Xiahoudun only saw that in that adversity, Cao Cao took the lead and used his personal bravery and charm to inspire the tiger and leopard riders to create miracles.There is no doubt that Xiahou Dun was deceived by the war. He only saw the side of the war that he wanted him to see one-sidedly, while ignoring the cruelty and cunning of the war.

The brave and fearless tiger and leopard cavalry charged as usual. They were exactly the same as when they defeated Yuan Shu, with indifferent eyes, bowed bodies, curled arms and cold and sharp spears.The horses kicked out billowing smoke and dust in the mud, making this troop appear like a gigantic beast roaring loudly!

Facing such a prestigious army, the camp was not panicked at all.In particular, Gao Shun, who held his shield in the formation, gave an order extremely calmly: "The crossbowmen are ready, ready to shoot upwards to kill the enemy at any time!"

Such a scene made it hard for Gao Shun not to think of Qu Yi.Undoubtedly, General Qu Yi is indeed a one-in-a-million talent. He directed the formation of infantry to restrain cavalry, which made Gongsun Zan's Baima Yicong famous after the first battle.But Gao Shun knew better that this formation was not created by Qu Yi, but existed in ancient times. Qu Yi's success was nothing more than a coincidence.

Even Gao Shun was quite dissatisfied with that battle.If Gao Shun had been the one who faced Gongsun Zan that time, he would have done better than Qu Yi.In Gao Shun's view, Qu Yi's victory that time was entirely due to Gongsun Zan's arrogance and underestimation of the enemy.

He had replayed that battle with Liu Xie, and Liu Xie made Zhao Yun a general, commanding Baima Yicong, but easily defeated Eight Hundred Xiandeng.Moreover, the number of people is still eight hundred to eight hundred.

Looking back on that battle, Qu Yi also had fatal flaws, but it was a pity that Gongsun Zan completely ignored them.At that time, his slain warriors were nothing more than a layer of round shields, which made Gongsun Zan look like a layer of flimsy paper.However, when the shield array opened wide at random, revealing the tough crossbowmen inside, Gongsun Zan had no idea that there was such an ultimate move in the round shield.

That was the first step that Gongsun Zan made a mistake.

Then, when Qi Bai Xiandeng fired all his arrows, Bai Ma Yi, who was defenseless, was instantly stunned by the dense cluster of arrows.And Gongsun Zan, who always takes the lead in every battle and always rushes to the first place in Baima Yicong, must have been shot a few times at that moment.

Then, Gongsun Zan must have panicked completely.When Qu Yi fired two consecutive shots, Gongsun Zan only saw Qu Yi's continuous arrow clusters, but he never thought that he could easily destroy the dead soldiers who had no defense at all if he charged forward in one go.

Afterwards, Gongsun Zan, the commander-in-chief of Baima Yicong, gave the order for Baima Yicong to withdraw his troops under the heavy rain of arrows, physical pain and shock in his heart—it was such a wrong to fatal order that made Qu Yiyi , so that he led an infantry army to chase and kill Baima Yi from the barracks to the barracks!
But in the simulated battle in Chang'an, Zhao Yun, who was at the center of the Baima Yicong formation, did not care how much the Baima Yicong in front was damaged, and still gave the order to charge without hesitation.As a result of that battle, Baima Yicong only lost less than 300 people, but completely annihilated Xian Dengying played by Gao Shun.

Faced with such a result, Liu Xie immediately commented: "This should be the most real result of the battle. Baima Yicong didn't lose to Xiandeng, it's just that Gongsun Zan lost to Qu Yi..."

After repeated experiments, Gao Shun also clearly realized that even with the sharpest three-barreled fire of the Han army, the dead soldiers who climbed first could only kill and injure about 500 people before Baima Yicong launched the massacre.The remaining [-] white horse Yicong were still enough to easily kill [-] dead soldiers with sufficient charging potential.

Now that Xiahou Dun had shown his determination to die, this tiger and leopard cavalry would never give up charging after being hit by a sudden rain of arrows.Therefore, Gao Shun is facing a more dangerous situation than Qu Yi at the moment. He must firmly resist the tiger and leopard rider's charge when Xu Huang's tiger and cardinal elite riders divert and surround the tiger and leopard rider!
Fortunately, when he was thinking hard in Chang'an, Gao Shun thought of a way to deal with this situation.The [-] crossbowmen in the trapped camp completed a round of three consecutive upward shots with the precision and ruthlessness of normal drills according to the order.The iron crossbow arrows issued by the hard crossbow that has been improved many times crossed a small trajectory obliquely in the air, and then flew towards the tiger and leopard cavalry like endless bee locusts.

It has to be said that the equipment of the tiger and leopard cavalry is indeed extremely sophisticated, the best in the world.In particular, the tiger cavalry who charged forward were still heavy cavalry, and each of them was equipped with a small round shield.When the arrow clusters just jumped up, they had already raised their round shields to protect their vital points.

However, the protection range of a round shield is limited after all, not to mention that the knight on horseback occasionally has to expose his eyes to see clearly.And the endless crossbow arrows of the Han army are too dense. As a result, everyone saw with their own eyes that a few tiger riders were flying into the eyes by cold arrow clusters the moment they showed their eyes, and then howled miserably from their horses. He fell, and was trampled into a pool of rotten meat by the horses behind.

After all, this kind of incident is a small probability, but the charge of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was still delayed.Because the knight can protect his chest and abdomen, but the war horse does not have any protective measures.Some war horses were shot in the legs, and fell down without warning, throwing the rider off the horse;What can be seen with the naked eye is that the tiger and leopard riders in front of them turned their backs on their backs, and the knights behind had to step on the bodies and horses of their companions in front to continue charging.

"Damn it! How can the crossbows of the Han army have no gaps like this!" Xiahou Dun put his head firmly behind the round shield. He really couldn't figure out how the crossbows of the Han army could be shot so continuously, like breaking a bank. tide.Any crossbow and arrow must be strung and set up, so it is inevitable that there will be gaps in shooting. Have the bows and crossbows of the Han army been improved to the point where ghosts and gods are shocked?

However, when Xiahou Dun was complaining, he also saw that the trapped camp in front of him was getting closer and closer, and he even imagined the scene of the horse hitting the huge shield: manpower is no match for horsepower, and such a charging potential energy Next, the tiger riders in front will inevitably be able to fall into the camp, even with the shield and lead people to break through a gap.After that, it was time for the tiger and leopard riders to slaughter them!

As for Xu Huang's Tiger Horse, Xia Houdun didn't pay attention at all.In terms of siege and looting, is there still a cavalry in the world comparable to leopard cavalry?Xu Huang used the cavalry composed of those royal horses in the West Garden for people to watch, and wanted to play tricks in front of his experienced leopard cavalry, it was simply humiliating himself!
It's getting closer, it's getting closer!

Under the gallop of the horses, Xiahou Dun even saw the trembling of the two impenetrable shields trapped in the camp: They have already begun to be afraid!

Yes, they should be afraid. Hundreds of years of war have made it clear to everyone that in this era cavalry is always the king on the battlefield!
But in the next moment, Xiahoudun suddenly heard a neat and strange shout, and he couldn't help tilting the round shield down slightly. He was shocked to see that at this moment, above all the giant shields, there was a slanting growth of ten feet. Yu's long lance!In an instant, this tortoise-like trap suddenly turned into a hedgehog covered with long thorns, making it impossible for tigers and leopards to bite!

"Gao Shun, a despicable and shameless thief, dare to fight me fairly?!" As a general, Xia Houdun naturally knew what it meant to be trapped in such a change of camp.Therefore, at this moment, he roared out such provocative words like crazy.

But at this very moment, amidst the dense rain of arrows, suddenly a crossbow arrow struck from the darkness, aiming at Xiahou Dun's left eye impartially.Shocked and furious, Xiahou Dun was completely defenseless, so he straightened his body and watched the crossbow bolt shoot into his left eye quickly and powerfully!
Behind the giant shield, Gao Shun held up the crossbow that had just been loosened, and said lightly: "If I haven't surrendered to Your Majesty, I will definitely fight you. But now... I can kill you easily, why bother to go all out?" ?”
