Chapter 517: Containment
The reins in his hand are only slightly,
The red rabbit horse rushed to the side,
Let the three gods on the opposite side pounce on the air,
Lu Bu's goal,
It's thousands of pseudo-cavalry behind the ninja soldiers,
Those guys at the moment,
have all dismounted,
From under the bulging armor,
drew an unusually large war knife,
And the style of this war knife is also very weird,
The blade is slender and narrow,
With a slight curvature,
But the handle of the knife is extraordinarily long,
The length is almost close to the general of the blade,
Hands crossed clasped,
There are still two fists left between the palms,
"Damn, isn't this a Japanese samurai?"
Lu Bu suddenly couldn't help but burst out foul language.
In the canonical history,
The samurai of Japan were born in the Heian period,
Around 794 to 1192 AD.
Beginning in the middle of the ninth century,
Some local lords began to build up private armies to defend themselves,
and use it to expand its power.
This armament gradually matured into an institutionalized professional military organization,
It is based on the clan and master-slave relationship.
Compared to the Three Kingdoms era,
But more than half a century later,
But here it is,
Although there are some differences from the description of samurai in later generations,
But it was indeed a samurai, undoubtedly.
Although Lu Bu had never come into contact with these warriors,
But in various documents of history,
have recorded in detail this unique branch of the Japanese army,
This kind of troops, not so much a force,
It's better to say that it's a bunch of killing machines,
They are completely based on the level of killing skills,
As the only criterion for becoming a samurai,
Therefore most of the samurai,
are all murderous,
There are even many people who take killing people as a kind of fun,
Such a force,
It is similar to the first death soldier led by Ju Yi.
Lu Bu's gaze became solemn,
There are quite a few of these samurai,
Although they are also not good at group combat,
But at least six or seven thousand in number,
The three thousand cavalry behind him,
But it's not necessarily the match of this group of crazy people.
Those cavalry of Liu Beijun,
I'm already preparing for a detour.
It seems that they are going to pursue the departing army with an iron heart,
It's just that after Lu Bu's delay,
They had already distanced themselves from the large army of Lu Bu's army,
And both sides galloped with all their might,
The disadvantages of Liu Beijun's war horses were gradually revealed,
Although there are drugs that forcibly increase the speed of the war horse,
But after all, there is a big gap with Xiliang Malaysia.
This is impossible for Yan Xing, who is the chief general of Liu Beijun, not to see it,
The suppressed feeling in Lu Bu's heart became heavier and heavier.
The southeast wind is getting stronger,
At last the sky was completely dark,
Fang Tian's painting halberd in Lu Bu's hand,
Without stopping,
Clearing the enemy in front of him with a wide opening and closing,
Half of the warriors in front of him jumped off their horses,
Whether it's cavalry or infantry,
In front of Lu Bu,
It's like straw in the wind,
was easily swept away,
But Lu Bu's heart became heavier and heavier,
The atmosphere here is so unusual.
Even if these Japanese people,
first began to misjudge Lu Bu's strength,
But in the blink of an eye,
After paying for the lives of two or three hundred people,
The other side did not even change the way of fighting,
Still rushing forward like this,
It's just against common sense,
Now the cavalry troops behind him,
Under the leadership of Yan Liang,
is also desperately moving towards Lu Bu's side,
These more than 3,000 forward troops,
is worthy of the elite of the elite,
Just a simple charge,
completely tore apart the formation of those ninja soldiers,
Even those ronins in the back,
It was also difficult to withstand the onslaught of these three thousand cavalry.
"Leave me alone! Tear up this group of miscellaneous formations! β
Lu Bu saw Yan Liang leading the team,
rushed towards his side,
hurriedly roared loudly,
After a pause, he once again picked up two samurai with a halberd,
Lu Bu then added:
"It's an order!"
Yan Liang rushed to the front of the team first,
Hearing Lu Bu's first words,
He didn't want to deal with him,
The big knife in his hand flew up and down,
The samurai in front of him were cut in two one by one,
At this moment, he was still dozens of zhang away from Lu Bu,
The cavalry behind him,
At this moment, the speed of the impact is gradually slowing down,
Although the cavalry charge is strong,
But it's not without flaws,
Once the impact fails to tear through the formation of the place,
Then the cavalry without the impact power,
The threat to the enemy will be greatly reduced,
It may even be in the midst of the siege,
Slash the endless enemies around you.
Yan Liang, as a senior leader,
It is impossible not to understand the cavalry charge,
Need to look for the weak links of the opponent's formation,
But before, in order to rescue Lu Bu,
He led the troops,
Charged towards the densest concentration of enemy troops,
This is the taboo of cavalry charging,
However, on the battlefield to rescue the commander,
There's nothing wrong with this,
However, Lu Bu also seemed to have guessed Yan Liang's thoughts,
The last command,
But it made Yan Liang worry in his heart,
but also had to lead the team to deflect direction,
Towards the weak spot of the side,
After changing direction,
the resistance they have to face,
Immediately lowered by more than half,
Yan Liang swept the eight wildernesses with one move,
The three samurai on their horses in front of them,
Immediately swept away,
At this time, he had time to wipe his face,
Wipe the blood off your face.
Three thousand vanguard troops finally rushed out,
galloped to a place half a mile from the battlefield,
Turn the horse's head around and start adjusting the formation.
Yan Liang took advantage of the opportunity to adjust,
Probably glanced at it,
He was surprised to find that
It's just such a shock down,
A troop of three thousand,
lost nearly 500 people at once,
That's nearly one-sixth of the loss.
But looking at those strange troops,
Except for the flea-like guys,
Because of the dexterity of the body,
The loss is only about 100 people,
Those guys with big knives in their hands clumsily,
The loss was only about one or two hundred,
There is no Lu Bu alone in the enemy formation,
Caused large losses to the enemy.
Yan Liang was surprised,
I also found the cat greasy in it,
It turns out that those guys who are bulging under the armor,
It's under the armor,
Thick cloth and other things,
greatly reduced the terrifying impact of the cavalry charge,
There are only those who have been mortally wounded,
will die in battle at the very beginning of contact,
The rest of the guys,
Wandering for a while,
He stood up again.
"Fuck, these cunning guys, no wonder they're all as slow as pigs!"
Yan Liang quenched a mouthful of blood foam,
Turning to the cavalry behind him, he roared: Hot Library
"Brothers, give me a greeting by the neck of these bastards, and you must kill them completely!"
The cavalry behind him also found out that he was tired,
Wielding the weapon in your hand,
followed Yan Liang and roared loudly:
"Kill! Kill! Kill! β
This time, the cavalry team was under the leadership of Yan Liang,
Again the charge was launched,
Due to previous experience,
After coming into contact with the enemy army this time,
Soldiers of the LΓΌ Bu Army,
It's not just about ramming the enemy off their horses,
even stabbed the other party's throat or face door directly with a spear,
As a result, the losses of the enemy army immediately skyrocketed,
But correspondingly,
Lu Bujun's impact power has also been greatly discounted,
Fortunately, Yan Liang has rich experience,
The direction of the chisel he leads,
are the weakest points of the enemy.
Although Lu Bu was surrounded by the enemy,
But his attention,
It has always been placed on the troops led by Yan Liang on the periphery,
Seeing that Yan Liang quickly adjusted his tactics,
And after the immediate effect,
Lu Bu relieved his heart a little.
Now, the enemies who surround him,
Again all replaced by ninja soldiers,
Those warriors,
At the cost of three or four hundred lives,
Finally understood a truth,
With just these warriors, there was no way to inflict harm on Lu Bu.
Although those ninja soldiers couldn't really leave Lu Bu behind,
However, their long-range combat capabilities,
At least to a certain extent, Lu Bu can be contained,
can make the rest of the samurai,
Concentrate all your forces to deal with the remaining 2,000 or so Lu Bu cavalry.
The battlefield was suddenly divided into two local battlefields,
The battle on both sides was extremely fierce,
Although the ninja soldiers can only contain Lu Bu,
But it also made him,
I can't deal with the samurai in a short time,
Although the price paid is still painful,
But at least it can allow this great killing god to slow down the slaughter.
The vanguard army led by Yan Liang,
has already killed this group of warriors in the Wa Kingdom,
Although the war horses of Lu Bu's army have begun to get tired,
But those samurai of the Wa Kingdom,
Because I wore a lot of extra things,
Although in response to the cavalry charge,
It has played a great protective role,
But when the contact war between the two sides began,
But it also made their movements slow down,
In this way, the balance of war has been brought back a little.
But there is a huge disparity in numbers,
But it is not something that can be easily compensated,
Over time,
Lu Bujun fell more and more into passivity,
It's only been half an hour,
Of the more than 2,500 cavalry left,
has lost almost half of it again,
Now outside the battlefield,
Lu Bu's army, which was assembled in battle again,
It's just over a thousand.
In such a short period of time,
The attrition reached two-thirds,
It is enough to see how fierce the battle between the two sides is,
Of course, those Japanese people are not comfortable,
During this time,
Their losses are no less,
After all, Lu Bu's army took advantage of the cavalry.
The warriors lost more than 3,000 people.
lost nearly a thousand more than Lu Bu's army,
Of course, part of the credit for this belongs to Lu Bu alone.
At this time, Lu Bu had no time to take care of Wen Chou's side,
But to calculate normally,
They should be safe by this time,
If nothing else,
The pursuers should have started to move back.
At this time,
Suddenly there was an explosion in the sky,
Then the dark clouds instantly thickened,
The whole sky was like ink.
Lu Bu raised his head suddenly,
It just so happened that at this time,
Suddenly the sky changed again,
Suddenly a dazzling light appeared in the whole sky,
And then the light was like a sharp blade,
It cut the whole sky,
The sky seemed to crack,
Then, the light flashed away,
When it reappears,
suddenly appeared three feet in front of Lu Bu,
In a hurry, although Lu Bu found that
But I can only barely protect my hands in front of the door,
At the same time, the body and mind are transformed in an instant,
It's just that he hasn't waited for his demons to succeed again,
That strange light had already slammed into Lu Bu's arm,
Lu Bu's heart suddenly skipped half a beat,
He already sensed a mortal threat,
This sudden attack seemed difficult to resist,
And the consequences that he will endure,
It's going to be death!
Wen Chou led the troops to retreat at full speed,
Liu Beijun behind him bit very tightly,
Although it has never been able to shorten the distance,
But this kind of tail pursuit also made it difficult for Lu Bujun to stop and rest.
However, what is more painful for all is that
Forced by Lu Bu's strict orders,
But they had to retreat without looking back,
I want to go back and kill you,
Or to rescue Lu Bu,
But it can't be done at all.
Because they encountered Liu Beijun's main cavalry this time,
It can be said that they themselves want the result,
It is even said that they did it on their own initiative.
Wen Chou's hand holding the steel spear trembled slightly,
This is the result of his overexertion,
The two men behind him who were responsible for intercepting the enemy army,
One is his most respected hero,
Although he has never called the other party the lord,
But in the heart,
has long been dead set on each other,
Therefore, even if the other party gives such an order,
He's still going to do it to the letter.
Another person,
is the most important brother in his life,
Both of them, both to cover their retreat,
And took the initiative to rush towards the enemy,
Such behavior,
is undoubtedly taking the initiative to seek death,
But now, in addition to this concern,
Pressed hard out of the bottom of my heart,
Nothing can be done.
The troops are marching very fast,
Half an hour's work,
has run a distance of twenty or thirty miles,
This is already the limit speed of the Xiliang horse ridden by Lu Bujun,
Liu Beijun's pursuers have been left far behind,
However, at this time,
But there was a sense of foreboding.
Just when he wanted to give the order to slow down,
Suddenly in the distance,
Probably on the battlefield over there,
There was a thunderous movement,
Then the sky suddenly darkened,
Wen Chou was about to look back.
"Kill!"
Suddenly, a group of Liu Beijun appeared in front of him inexplicably,
It's just that the clothes on their bodies are very weird.
It's like crawling out of the grass,
Quite a few people's bodies,
There is also a lot of straw tied,
Seeing this, Wen Chou immediately understood that he had fallen into the trap,
Although there are quite a few enemy troops in front,
But the formation is very loose,
I don't think it's clear about the retreat route of Lu Bu's army,
Therefore, the entire front was lengthened.
Wen Chou knows that he can't retreat at this time,
Hurriedly raised the steel gun in his hand,
Roaring loudly:
"Charge with me!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill! β
Wen Chou's voice just fell,
Nearly 20,000 cavalry behind him,
In unison, they let out a pre-battle roar.
