Chapter 272: The Trapping Camp of Terror

Xiahou's army also frantically killed at the same time.

Facing dozens of times his own strength, and there was also a military soul legion among them, Gao Shun's face remained unchanged at all, still so serious and indifferent.

And the trap camp behind him was as expressionless as him, as if the overwhelming enemy army in front of him was nothing more than mustard.

At the moment of the great enemy, Gao Shun turned around and returned to the army, and the soldiers who were trapped in the camp opened a way neatly. Gao Shun unhurriedly came to the center of the army that formed a circle. After he walked by, the surrounding trap camp quickly returned to its original position.

Finally, in Gao Shun's indifferent gaze, the tiger rider under Cao Chun's command rushed up unstoppably.

"Shield!"

Gao Shun snorted lightly.

As soon as Gao Shun's words fell, a faint black light appeared on the part of the trap soldiers who were about to crash into the outer part of the tiger horse.

"Bump!"

In Cao Chun's stunned, under the fierce charge and attack of the invincible tiger and leopard riders under his command, the soldiers on the opposite side only took the shield in their hands and blocked it unscathed!

On the contrary, the tiger cavalry led by him was directly knocked to the ground, and then trampled by the cavalry behind and suffered heavy casualties. Then the cavalry that charged up also followed in the footsteps of the former, and were knocked to the ground one by one.

Before he could figure out what the situation was, Cao Chun found that the hundreds of cavalry who were fighting the vanguard were already lying on the ground, and hurriedly shouted: "Withdraw, retreat to both sides!" ”

What kind of pawn is this? It's a wall! For the first time, Cao Chun began to wonder if he was leading the elite of Cao Cao's army?

The cavalry is invincible to deal with the foot soldiers, and the camp is completely a food delivery here in Gaoshun. The incomparably strong defense made the tiger cavalry under Cao Chun's command understand that he was encountering a terrifying heavy infantry, and it was not at all something that his unworthy heavy cavalry could break through.

Although the classification criteria for light and heavy cavalry are not clear, generally speaking, heavy cavalry is mostly used for charging and marching camps, and light cavalry is mostly used for cavalry and harassment.

But in the eyes of most people, heavy cavalry mostly refers to those soldiers wearing heavy armor, holding spears, halberds, long knives, etc., and even horses with horse armor to protect the cavalry, that is, armored cavalry.

Although the tiger cavalry under Cao Chun's command is brave and fierce, they are all composed of elites, but the equipment is indeed unsightly. As the most elite unit under Cao Cao, less than half of the 2,000 heavy cavalry had heavy armor, and there were only two or three pairs of horse armor.

But I don't blame Cao Cao, the cost of heavy armor and horse armor is too high, especially horse armor, which is not affordable by ordinary princes at all. Moreover, the heavy cavalry is more expensive than much, except for the need to act as a striker when stepping on the camp, and its shortcomings of poor flexibility are too serious. After being trapped in the enemy's formation, the combat power is not as good as that of a light horse.

The standard equipment price of a heavy cavalry can train more than seven or eight heavy infantry, Cao Cao doesn't have so much money, and he can't even match the heavy armor.

Boss Cao has always been poor. Before the battle of Guandu in history, he had lamented that Yuan Shao had more than 300 horse armors, and he had more than a dozen pairs. Even Yuan Shao, a tyrant who plays in the four states of Hebei, only has about 300 pairs of horse armor, which shows that this thing costs a lot of money.

Of course, it's not that Yuan Shao can't afford more horse armor, it's really a heavy cavalry with complete armor, and it's almost the same if there are three hundred charging arrows, and any more is a complete waste of money.

Not to mention that there is no horse armor, even light cavalry without heavy armor can still be used as a heavy cavalry. Think about the alien races in the north, where do they have any equipment? Each person has a gun, and he is wearing animal skin cloth clothes and the like, so he doesn't still do heavy cavalry business?

The light cavalry of this era is king. After all, most of the soldiers in the Han Dynasty were not fully armored, and the armor rate was about forty percent, of which the leather armor accounted for three percent, and the iron armor was only about one percent.

Against this group of soldiers who don't even have much armor on their bodies, the light cavalry is completely sufficient, and the horse armor or something is really too wasteful.

Cao Chun used to think the same way, but now he looked at the well-armored trapped camp, glanced at the soldiers and war horses lying on the ground, and swore in his heart that he would have to ask his brother for hundreds of horse armor when he went back to beg.

The tiger cavalry under his command is invincible in combat on weekdays, and he is confident that he can compete with Gongsun Zhan's white horse Yicong, but when he encounters a well-equipped trapped camp, he has no power to fight back!

Under Cao Chun's command, the tiger horsemen who had originally rushed straight towards the trapped camp were split in two, and circled to both sides in an arc to avoid the butcher's knife of the trapped camp.

The leopard cavalry around the trapped camp also rushed over, constantly harassing Gao Shun's soldiers and covering the tiger cavalry.

Gao Shun shouted lightly: "Come in!" ”

The circular formation formed by the entire trap camp slowly advanced as a whole, taking the initiative to meet Cao Chun's tiger horse, slashing and killing wantonly.

The soldiers trapped in the camp were carefully trained by Gao Shun, and they cooperated with each other very tacitly, some of the soldiers blocked the arrows that came over, some of the soldiers raised their big shields to resist the cavalry that collided with them, and some of the soldiers stretched out their knives between the gaps in the shields and slashed at the enemy, in an orderly manner.

Seeing this scene, Cao Chun was angry and frightened, but he had no choice but to continue to urge the tiger riders under his command to dodge as soon as possible.

A raging wave of attacks slammed into an iron plate and instead turned into suicide. Cao Chun regretted this in his heart! I wanted to help Xiahou's army open up the situation and scatter the enemy army first, but I never thought that this would be the end.

After losing more than 300 tiger riders, Cao Chun's face was unbearable to see that the tiger riders under his command and the leopard riders were wandering around the trapped camp, but they were harassed by the cavalry from a distance, and they did not dare to step forward at all.

And Gao Shun had no choice about this, so he ordered his soldiers to stay where they were, waiting for the arrival of Xiahou's army.

The biggest flaw of the trapped camp is speed, the speed of no less than ordinary foot soldiers is still too slow in front of the cavalry, and Gao Shun has no way to ride the tigers and leopards around him. However, the long-range harassment of the Tiger and Par Riders was no threat to the trapping camp, and this attack was just a drizzle, and the heavily armed trapping soldiers could not be injured even if they were shot.

Xiahou, who was late enough to kill, saw that the tiger and leopard rider was trapped in the camp and ran away without any power to fight back, and his eyes were about to pop out.

The soldiers of the tiger and leopard cavalry were all selected from the most elite cavalry of the army under him and Xiahou Yuan, and it can be said that any one of them is at the level of a commander or a hundred generals. Cao Chun's ability as Cao Ren's younger brother is also undoubted, and he led 3,000 tigers and leopards to ride thousands of miles in the Battle of Xuzhou and easily defeated Cao Leopard's army of more than 30,000 people, which is a real achievement.

It was such an elite cavalry, in front of this infantry of only a thousand people, it was like a miscellaneous soldier, easily defeated, and there was no power to fight back.

Xia Hou only felt a blockage in his heart, he felt that he was afraid that he would face a vicious battle next, and whether he could win or not was really a problem.

However, Yongwu has never hit the south wall or turned back, not only did he not withdraw when he encountered this situation, but the fear in his heart actually dissipated, and the corners of his mouth outlined a touch of madness: "Interesting, such an opponent is interesting!" ”
