Chapter 335: The Battle of Kaifeng Begins with the Overlord Elite Cavalry

"Ding Dong, Dian Wei's skill 'Flying Halberd' is activated, and the force is instantly +6 during the halberd throwing, and the current Dian Wei force has risen to 118."

Ran Min, who was in full pursuit, was really shocked by the sudden oncoming 'cold arrow', and broke out in a cold sweat.

After narrowly dodging the past, Dian Wei's second halberd was thrown out again.

This time it was really unavoidable, and Ran Min could only raise his spear and knock it away with all his might.

"Ding..."

This spear knocked the halberd away with great precision, but the huge force also shook Ran Min's arm slightly numb.

Dian Wei Xu Ding took this opportunity to get into the crowd, and of course, when Ran Min recovered, the two had already run away, and Ran Min had no choice but to slaughter the soldiers with the large army to vent his anger.

Yue Xi and Li Jin also got out in time when they saw that the situation was not good, although Qin Yong and the others wanted to stop it, but it was obviously not the best time at the moment.

Now is the best time to completely defeat the enemy army, and the main purpose is to win this battle, so naturally give up the pursuit.

Xiang Yan gave the order to retreat, but it was not his intention to flee in a swarm, but when he evacuated, he had already ordered the cavalry troops to break off.

Although the Yellow Turban cavalry team was also greatly affected, they did not flee, but it was still far from enough to stop the Yanmen cavalry.

After the two armies fought again, the Yellow Turban cavalry could be said to be crushed at the touch of a button, but the Han army did not continue to slaughter the infantry, but shifted its attention to the Yellow Turban cavalry.

The reason why he did this, Qin Hao naturally had his own considerations.

The huge base of followers makes the Yellow Turban not short of soldiers at all, as long as the food and grass can afford it, the Yellow Turban can even recruit another million infantry.

But cavalry is different from infantry.

The Yellow Turban did not capture Youzhou, so there was no source of war horses, and after searching the entire Kanto region, they also made up forty or fifty thousand inferior war horses, and all of them were used to form cavalry.

The 40,000 or 50,000 cavalry of the Yellow Turban are more valuable than the 400,000 elites.

For the purpose of consuming the important combat power of the Yellow Turbans, Qin Hao naturally wanted to catch the Yellow Turban cavalry and beat him violently.

……

After withdrawing to the camp, Xiang Yan quickly dispatched the remaining 10,000 cavalry in the camp to prepare to defeat the Yanmen cavalry.

But what Xiang Yan was disappointed about today was that Qin Hao, who had taken a big advantage, did not continue to fight him, but after slaughtering the Yellow Turban cavalry in front, he decisively led the army back to the pass.

The Yellow Turban Camp, the Zhangjiao Tent.

Zhang Jiao also knew that Xiang Yan was not to blame for the defeat in this battle, who would have thought that an imposter would cause a big defeat.

After comforting Xiang Yan, Zhang Jiao immediately ordered the killing of more than a dozen officers who took the lead in escaping, and they were the main culprits of the defeat.

"The last general was incompetent, failed to kill the Han general, and stopped Zhao Zilong in time, so that he let him kill General Xiang Yu's stand-in, causing the whole army to be defeated."

Dian Wei took the initiative to kneel down and ask for guilt, and then Xu Dingyue and Li Jin, the three generals, also knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"Get up, there are many talented people in the Han army, and you have done your best."

For these four favorite generals, Zhang Jiao will naturally not be too harsh.

After a brief relief, Zhang Jiao asked left and right, "How many men and horses did our army lose this time?" ”

"Marshal Xiang ordered the cavalry to break off the rear move, and the losses of our army in this defeat were minimized, but the cavalry suffered heavy losses. In this defeat, our cavalry suffered 6,000 cavalry casualties and 9,500 infantry casualties. ”

"So much."

Zhang Jiao's expression darkened, and then he asked, "What about the casualties of the Han army?" ”

"I'm afraid it's less than a thousand."

The Yellow Turbans suffered 50,000 siege troops, 40,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry VS 5,000 Yanmen Iron Cavalry, and there were 15,500 casualties, while the losses of the Yanmen army were less than 1,000.

The casualty probability of 1:15.5, which can no longer be described as a big defeat, is simply a fiasco.

"Through this battle, the old man found that our cavalry did not care about horses, equipment, training, horsemanship, and fighting...... They are all far from the Han army, what is the use of having more cavalry? ”

Zhang Jiao was obviously extremely disappointed with the performance of the cavalry, so he also spoke very seriously, and the cavalry generals stood up and pleaded guilty when they heard it.

Seeing this, Fang La stood up and said slowly: "Master, in terms of cavalry, our army is indeed far from the Han army, after all, this is not something that can be made up in a short time. However, according to the observation of the disciples, there are still elite cavalry comparable to the Yanmen Army among the cavalry of our army. ”

"You're talking about the 'Overlord Ride' of the sub-family?"

"That's right."

'Overlord Cavalry' is a cavalry under Xiang Yu, although there are only 5,000 people in total, but it is a trump card unit created by the elite of 50,000 Yellow Turban cavalry, with the best soldiers, the most handsome war horses and the most sophisticated battle armor, and the combat power is the best Yellow Turban.

"After all, there are only 5,000 overlord cavalry, and the elite of the border army of the Fu Han army cannot be an opponent, but it is enough to deal with the ordinary Han army."

Zhang Jiao looked at the north from afar and sighed: "In this battle, the subordinate also brought the 'Overlord Rider', I hope this good knife can be used on the blade." ”

……

Tiger Prison Pass.

After the end of a big war, Qin Hao also ushered in the fruits of his victory.

"Ding Dong, a total of 15,500 Yellow Turban Army were killed in this battle, 500 casualties were killed and wounded, and 15,000 war points were rewarded, which have been exchanged for 150 summon points for the host, and the host currently has a total of 750 summon points."

The Yellow Turbans thought that the losses of the Han army were thousands, but in fact, the Yanmen army only lost 500 people in this battle.

5,000 against 50,000, 15,000 enemies killed, and only 500 losses themselves, this number is obviously extremely abnormal.

But when you think about it, it's normal.

Qin Hao took the broken army as the vanguard of the way, and four thousand elite horsemen rushed behind to kill, avoiding the number of people who fought head-on with the Yellow Turbans to the greatest extent.

The cavalry rushed around and fought with the Yellow Turbans only with the broken barracks, and how could the Yellow Turbans block the iron hooves of the broken army?

Of course, the victory of the Yanmen army was not easy, after this big battle, basically everyone was exhausted, most of them were injured, and if they continued to fight, they would definitely suffer heavy casualties.

The intensity of the later battle in Kaifeng is definitely not inferior to this one, and the current state of these 4,500 cavalry, including the broken barracks, is obviously unable to participate.

The next day, news came from Xuanyuan Pass, and Lu Bu led the army to save Xuanyuan Pass in time.

Later, as Liu Ji expected, Lu Bu led 20,000 cavalry out of the pass to fight a decisive battle with the Yellow Turban, but the Yellow Turban avoided fighting, and while retreating in the direction of Kaifeng, he transferred troops to prepare to eat Lu Bu's 20,000 cavalry in one bite.

After getting the news, Qin Hao also reorganized his troops and horses, ready to lead the army to Kaifeng at any time.

On the fourth day, the battle in Kaifeng was about to start, and Qin Hao also led 25,000 Yanmen cavalry to Kaifeng in the southeast.
