Chapter 390: Cao Liu and Sun join forces
Xiang Yu had already suffered Yue Fei's losses twice, so naturally it was impossible to eat a third time, and after the overlord was prepared, ordinary arrow attacks naturally didn't have much effect.
Five thousand pikemen were also in place, and they were surrounded by a thousand overlord cavalry in three directions, and less than a thousand overlord cavalry went straight into the middle army.
As soon as the two sides fought, Yue Fei ordered the archers to stop firing arrows, after all, these five thousand spearmen did not have heavy armor defense, and they were really shooting their own people when they were firing arrows.
The spearmen in the game are generally cavalrymen, but it would be naΓ―ve to think that this is also the case in reality.
If the spearmen really restrained the cavalry in the ancient wars, why were the Southern Song Dynasty and Zhu Ming, who were mainly infantry, beaten by the Yuanmeng and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and finally perished?
The Yuanmeng and Manchu dynasties both dominated the world with cavalry, and the Song and Ming dynasties couldn't beat the cavalry, so it was okay to train more spearmen, why didn't the ancients think of this?
The reason, of course, is that the cavalry cannot be restrained by the spearmen alone.
And if you want to suppress the cavalry by the spearmen, unless the cavalry loses its impact, the spearmen will not be able to attack the cavalry.
Of course, it is not right to say that it has no effect at all, after all, there are many cases of using spearmen to break the cavalry, but that is all the credit of not cooperating with the troops, and Yue Fei is a typical example.
When the Jin Dynasty invaded the Song Dynasty, it was said: The Jurchens are not satisfied with 10,000, and they are invincible.
Yue Fei used the Jin Dynasty when the soldiers were in their prime, and used the hook and sickle to break the elite of the Jurchen cavalry, the kidnapping horse.
Of course, that battle was also the result of the cooperation of multiple arms, and it was impossible to complete it with hook and sickle alone, so it can be seen that the spearmen were not useless against the cavalry, and the key was to see who commanded it.
Although there were only 1,000 cavalry in Xiang Yu's hands, Yue Fei paid the highest attention to it and directly sent 5,000 elite pikemen into battle, but who knew that the result was still much beyond his expectations.
As soon as the two armies fought, the pikemen of the Han army in front were knocked down by the overlord cavalry, and the troops on the left and right sides did not have time to encircle, and the formation was completely disrupted by the cavalry of less than a thousand.
Seeing this, Yue Fei faintly regretted it in his heart, if he had known that the overlord cavalry of less than a thousand people had such combat power, he should not be surrounded on three sides, but should concentrate his forces on the front.
However, it was already at this point, it was too late to say anything, Yue Fei could only try his best to remedy it, so he decisively ordered: "All the archers are ready for white-knuckle combat. β
After the five thousand archers abandoned their bows and arrows and drew their steel swords, they immediately converted into short sword soldiers, and seeing that the thousand spearmen in front of them were about to be unable to withstand it, Yue Fei immediately ordered: "The whole army will attack." β
With the support of 5,000 sword soldiers, with nearly 7,000 troops, the overlord who was less than 1,000 finally slowed down.
At this moment, the two pursuers behind had also arrived, and the overlord cavalry was besieged by 10,000 soldiers and horses, but the 1,000 overlord cavalry who were still trapped in the beast broke out with stronger combat power.
When the main general Xiang Yu was once again blocked by Ran Min and Lu Bu, the overlord cavalry of less than 1,000 people actually rampage in the 10,000-person array, killing nearly 10,000 elites of the Han army and unable to fight back.
Yue Fei also had a headache about this, but there was nothing he could do in a short period of time, so he had to try his best to trap him.
On the other side, under the leadership of Cao Cao, after the 4,500 elites of the Han army and the 7,000 Yellow Turban wrestlers exchanged hands, they did not fall behind at all.
Although the soldiers of the Han army are also elite, their combat power is actually weaker than that of the Yellow Turban wrestlers, and the reason why the Han army can gain the upper hand is that the key is to win the generals.
Under Cao Cao and other nine generals, in addition to seven of the Yang family's old eight langs, taking Cao Cao alone, there are several generals such as Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, etc.
Yuan Shao's subordinates include Yan Liangwen, Chou, Gao Lan, Juyi, etc., Sun Jian has Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, etc., Liu Bei has Guan Yu, and Gongsun Zan has ......
Among the 4,500 elite Han troops, the total number of generals exceeded 20 people, much more than Qin Hao's subordinates.
It is precisely because of the backing of so many generals that Cao Cao can resist more with less with inferior troops, and he has a slight advantage.
In today's three-way confrontation, both roads have reached a stalemate, and only Cao Cao's road can be used as a breakthrough.
Seeing this, Qin Hao immediately ordered and said, "Order, order Zhang Fei and Qin Wu to lead five hundred cavalry to support Cao Cao." β
The 20,000 cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army have suffered nearly 8,000 casualties so far, while the Han army has also lost no less than 3,000.
At present, on the side of the Chinese army, the forces of the two sides are already in a state of parity, and the Han army is obviously more morale and combat power, so even if 500 people are transferred to support other roads, it will not have any impact.
The role of 500 cavalry in the middle army is dispensable, but the left and right flanks may become the last straw for overwhelming the enemy along the way, which will play an immeasurable role in the overall battle situation.
"Qin Wulai, the Yellow Turban thief will die!"
"Ding Dong, Qin Wu skill 'Tiger Roar' is activated, and when the legion is fighting, the morale of the enemy army decreases, and the combat effectiveness decreases."
"Yanren Zhang Yide is here, and the Yellow Turban thief is not ready to get off his horse and surrender."
"Ding Dong, Zhang Fei's skill 'Angry Drink' is activated, and when the group battle roars, it can reduce the morale of all the enemy forces;"
The addition of Qin Wu Zhang Fei and 500 cavalry completely broke the balance of the right flank, and the Yellow Turban Lux was defeated and retreated by the Han army after the 500 cavalry rushed to disrupt the formation.
Cao Cao saw that the opportunity could not be missed, and immediately shouted: "Soldiers, the enemy army can no longer hold on, and completely defeat them in one go." β
"Ding Dong, Cao Cao's skill 'inspires' to launch."
"Inspiration: The right rhetoric at the right time can be the key to turning the tide. When this skill is activated, it can boost the morale of the whole army and increase the combat power of the whole army...... +2 for Commander, +2 for Force. β
"Ding Dong, because of the effect of Cao Cao's skill 'encouragement', the morale of the Han army has increased and its combat power has increased. Cao Cao's current commander has risen to 95, and his force has risen to 82. β
"Kill." Cao Cao shouted, and then took the lead.
Seeing this, the morale of the soldiers suddenly soared, and their combat power increased a lot compared to before.
Under the offensive of the Han army, the right wing led by Xiang Liang was finally defeated, of course, this is not because Xiang Liang is incompetent, but because there are too many capable people on the Han army's side, and Xiang Liang is really invincible with two fists and four hands.
Seeing that Xiang Liang was about to run, Sun Jian hurriedly shouted: "You can't let Xiang Liang go." β
Then Sun Jian hurriedly chased after him and stopped Xiang Liang in time.
Xiang Liang saw that the Han generals in front of him were blocking the way, so he decided to break through in a different direction, but who knew that the left and right were blocked by Cao Cao and Liu Bei.
Just when Xiang Liang was thinking about how to break through, he only heard Sun Jian smile heartily: "Brother Meng De, Brother Xuande, I found this Liang first, you won't rob me, right?" β
"Brother Wentai's words are wrong."
Cao Cao shook his head with a smile on his face and said, "With such a big credit, you don't want to swallow it alone, right?" β
Liu Bei immediately smiled and said, "Brother Wentai, you are greedy." β
Sun Jian's face flashed with a hint of helplessness, and he said, "Then let's share the credit equally." β
After that, the three of them looked at each other and smiled, and then tacitly killed Xiang Liang.
