Guan Hai's cavalry and the tiger and leopard cavalry collided head-on, and the two sides came up to shoot a round of crossbows, and Cao's army was also equipped with a repeating crossbow, so when firing, the more protective tigers and leopards had the upper hand.

The Central Army no longer had any guns, they were all used up, so they could only hold their halberds and stab them out when the two armies staggered.

However, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was equipped with an extended version of the halberd, which often stabbed the opponent before the Central Army, and the officers and men of the Central Army could only rely on the flexibility of their light cavalry and the fighting skills they had rigorously trained to deal with the enemy.

By the way, they are a little more murderous than the tiger and leopard cavalry, the cavalry of the Central Army have all fought on the grassland, but the tiger and leopard cavalry are the first brothers of the first actual battle.

Guan Hai brandished a broadsword and rushed back and forth in the tiger and leopard riding formation, and his strength and sharp broadsword were no one could resist.

It was easy to attract Cao Zhang's attention, Cao Zhang was the most powerful among Cao Cao's sons, and he learned a lot of skills from Xu Chu.

However, in any case, the cavalry of the 21st Brigade successfully stopped the tiger and leopard cavalry of the Cao army, and Zhang Liao led the rest of the army only to break through the interception of the Jingzhou army and the Xuzhou army.

The numerical superiority of the Kwantung coalition forces made up for their lack of combat power and experience, and the battle situation was about to reach a stalemate.

To add insult to injury, Wei Yan's 3,000 cavalry also appeared in the southwest direction of the battlefield and was speeding up.

In addition, Guo Jia's Yanzhou army, Huang Zu's Jingzhou army, Liu Pan and Zhang Yun's Jingzhou army are also coming one after another.

At this critical juncture, a long and desolate horn sounded from the north, which was a unique offensive horn of the Central Army, and a green signal flare also rose into the sky.

Gao Shun's reinforcements finally arrived, and along the way, they were in a hurry, and many years of comradeship, they were afraid that something would happen to Zhang Liao and Guan Hai!

Five elite cavalry brigades, the charge of tens of thousands of cavalry, the momentum is like a rainbow.

As soon as Guan Yu saw that the reinforcements of the Central Army were coming, he knew that he could no longer do anything, so he hurriedly withdrew his troops and turned to the south of the battlefield, giving way to the north.

Only the young Li Yan still wanted to intercept it, and his decision made the Jingzhou army pay a heavy price.

In addition to the 1st Cavalry Division, Gao Shun's reinforcements also included the Special Operations Brigade and the Honor 2nd Brigade, both of which had already completed the redress.

When they finished shooting their bows and crossbows and swept in front of Li Yan's Jingzhou army, they raised their hands and threw out a shiny thing at the Jingzhou army.

The Jingzhou Army infantry, who was still waiting for them to throw their spears, did not see until the shiny thing flew close to them that it was a semicircular hand axe, the size of a cavalryman's small round shield!

The heavy hand axe easily split the large shield and then slashed into the body of the hoplite, who fell down with the large shield.

The cavalrymen of the 1st Cavalry Division could happily cover the spearmen and crossbowmen who had lost the cover of their shields with their spears, and the chain mail could not pierce the spears.

Tens of thousands of axes brought down large swaths of hoplites and shields, and throwing spears brought down thousands of spearmen and crossbowmen.

Only then did Li Yan come to his senses and saw the true strength of the Central Army.

The sharpshooters of the Special Warfare Brigade are also very powerful, and the chain armor can't cover all your faces, so I'll shoot you in the face.

After only one wave of attacks, Li Yan turned around and fled, "Withdraw, withdraw the army!" The Central Army is too powerful! ”

The Jingzhou army and the Xuzhou army both retreated, and no one stopped Zhang Liao's army anymore, Zhang Liao successfully rendezvoused with Gao Shun, and didn't care about greetings, "General Gao Shun, quickly send someone to rescue Guan Hai, he is going to intercept the heavy armored cavalry of the Cao army!" ”

"What, Cao Cao still has heavy cavalry? What does the Ministry of Intelligence eat? If Guan Hai has three longs and two shorts, I didn't play with them, and I didn't find such important information? ”

Gao Shun ordered people to give an order, and the whole army went east to rescue Guan Hai.

The cavalry was fast, and in a moment's effort, the Special Operations Brigade and the Rong Second Brigade were the first to rush to the battlefield where Guanhai intercepted the tiger and leopard cavalry.

The battle continued, but the Central Army was already clearly at a disadvantage, losing most of its losses.

Guan Hai and Cao Zhang were each wounded and rescued by their own guards. The Rong Second Brigade was Guan Hai's old subordinate, and it rushed into the enemy position without mobilization at all, and the special operations brigade was also outflanked from the periphery.

Cao Zhang was bandaging his wounds, and when he saw that so many cavalry of the Central Army suddenly came, and more cavalry came in the distance, he hurriedly ordered the withdrawal of the army.

Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, of course he refused to let go of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and chased after him with two brigades.

The disadvantage of the tiger and leopard riding without a horseshoe is reflected at this time, after a charge, the load-bearing horse is not capable of making a second sprint, and it is not fast to escape.

The cavalry of the Central Army, like a group of clever hounds besieging rough skin and thick boars, rushed up from time to time to bite them, and the wild boars stumbled and fled.

However, he didn't chase far, Guo Jia's Cao army infantry of 20,000 people also arrived at the battlefield, and Cao Zhang excitedly led people to sweep through the two wings.

The cavalry of the Central Army, especially the cavalry of the 21st Brigade and the 2nd Rong Brigade, who refused to give up, were still chasing the ass of the tiger and leopard cavalry.

However, a large rain of arrows shot out of the Cao army's infantry formation, after all, the Cao army was also equipped with a large number of repeater crossbows.

The casualties caused by the crossbow finally calmed Guan Hai, and under the cover of the special operations brigade, he ran away from a distance and withdrew to his own position.

At this time, the battlefield situation was already clear, and Zhang Liao's Central Army had broken through the interception of the Xuzhou Army and the Jingzhou Army in the north, and joined forces with Gao Shun, the source of the army.

The remnants of Guan Hai's 21st Brigade also retreated to their own positions under the support of the Special Operations Brigade and the Rong 2nd Brigade, but they lost most of their personnel and basically lost their combat effectiveness, and of course the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry also paid the same heavy price.

The Central Army simply cleaned up the battlefield that repelled the Jingzhou Army, those hand axes can be recovered, and they will have to be used in the future, this thing can't be consumed at one time!

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei retreated with the Xuzhou army in great strides, and the Xuzhou army that participated in the siege this time was originally an elite, and they lost seven or eight thousand people in this battle.

Guan Yu's face is ugly, and the red is dark, the key is that the person is dead, and the battle has not been won, how to explain to the eldest brother and the military advisor this time?

After Guo Jia received Cao Zhang's tiger and leopard cavalry, he did not move forward alone, but stopped at a position parallel to the Xuzhou army.

He didn't expect that he had planned so carefully, invested so many troops, and even used all the tiger and leopard rides, but he still didn't achieve his goal.

Every time Zhang Liao made a turn and every time he chose the target of the attack, he made the best decision, and he didn't make a single mistake, it was too perfect.

The combat effectiveness and mobility of the Central Army were used to the extreme by Zhang Liao.

He also didn't expect Gao Shun's reinforcements to come so quickly, and the combat effectiveness of the reinforcements was so strong.

Almost as soon as the encirclement was formed, reinforcements arrived, and counting the time spent on the road, this was almost a tiger prison with his own front and back feet.

They obviously made a detour than themselves, and they arrived at the same time as themselves, and the cavalry actions of the Central Army were really lightning!

I'm afraid there are spies of the Central Army among the coalition forces, otherwise how could they send reinforcements so quickly?

What's even more terrifying is that the cavalry of the Central Army can still fight after a long journey, unlike the cavalry of the Yanzhou Army, if they run for a long distance, they can hardly fight directly.

Although he learned stirrups from the Central Army, Guo Jia felt that there must be something missing in it that would cause such a gap!

There are a lot of things a year ago.,There's no way to update it at night.,It's not very rich to prepare the manuscripts.,Please continue to support!
