Chapter 304: The brave wins
Although the Rong First Division also used horses as a substitute for travel, they only had one horse in their hands, which was like the special warfare division, which was three horses per person or three war horses from the Western Regions.
went to the Western Regions, Wang Quan did not collect any war horses from the Western Regions, changed his troops, but slaughtered Fa Zhengyi ruthlessly.
Therefore, the special operations division still left behind the boss of the Rongyi Division and was the first to rush to the battlefield.
They saw two red signal flares from a distance, led by Huo Jun, the commander of the 1st Special Operations Brigade.
Wang Quan was not there, he was the acting division commander, and he saw the red signal flare, although the situation was urgent, but Master Lu Bu was fine, which made people feel a lot more relieved.
He also saw the two armies that came to intercept him in a mess, both of which were in the clothing of the Jingzhou army, and they were both mixed infantry and cavalry.
One has more people, more than 10,000 people, and the other army has only 6,000 people, but the general who leads the army, Huo Jun recognizes it, isn't that Guan Yu?
Then the army with few people is Liu Bei's, and the other one must be Liu Biao's.
He was pondering which enemy army to hit first, when suddenly, three red flares rose in front of him, which meant that the situation was extremely urgent.
At this time, Huo Jun, who was already close to the battlefield, had already seen the hill where the signal flare was rising and the enemy who was under the black pressure under the mountain.
Huo Jun hurriedly turned around and looked behind him, "Commander, your regiment bypasses the enemy in front of you and goes directly to save the lord and adults on the mountain, at all costs, understand?" ”
"Understood!" The head of the regiment agreed very loudly, and this regiment commander was not an outsider, but a clerk.
After graduating from the military academy, he did not go to other units, but took the initiative to ask to go to the special operations division.
From the company commander's mount, when he was in the Western Regions, he made many military exploits and was promoted to the regiment commander.
He knew that there were only more than 100 people around Lu Bu, and there were also Xu Shu and Li Su, the two deputy chiefs of general staff, as well as his own division commander, and a large number of senior officers were there.
If Wei Yan and Liu Bei are allowed to serve them in one pot, then the Central Army will be finished.
So he took his special operations regiment and rode on their fastest horses, made an arc, bypassed the Jingzhou cavalry who wanted to intercept, and rushed towards the hills.
The cavalry of Jingzhou was far less fast than the cavalry of the Central Army, and it could not be stopped at all.
Finally, the vanguard of the Jingzhou cavalry caught up with the rear guard battalion of the 1st Special Operations Regiment, and after a series of crossbow shots, the Jingzhou army was taught a good lesson.
The ordinary soldiers of the special operations division are all excellent marksmen, not to mention at least one or two marksmen per squad, which is basically a casualty ratio of one to twenty.
Half of the 500 Jingzhou cavalry who rushed to the front were killed, and the Central Army had only a dozen casualties, and they did not slow down at all.
On the hill, Lu Bu personally went into battle and exerted his marksmanship skills, and Wang Quan and Li Su helped him load ammunition, but they were a little unable to supply.
Lu Bu's marksmanship was fast and accurate, specifically aimed at the middle and lower-ranking officers in the Jingzhou army, and there was a significant difference in their clothing, which was easy to recognize.
The hoplites and shields were effective at blocking most of the buckshots, but the narrow mountain passes and the corpses of the previous cavalry and horses were everywhere, so the advance was very slow.
Lu Bu specifically aimed at the headshot from the gap in the shield, and tried it repeatedly.
Suddenly, the "bang" of the mortar was gone, and the shells ran out.
Without the threat of mortars, the enemy was much more emboldened, and the speed of the charge was noticeably faster.
Closer, they can only be greeted with grenades.
The protection of the hoplites was still good, and the greatest threat to them was artillery shells, followed by grenades.
Flintlock pistols were much less useful, as their large shields combined with heavy armor could keep out lead bullets.
Liu Bei and Wei Yan were already red-eyed, and seeing that Lu Bu was already close at hand, Liu Bei shouted hoarsely, "Capture Lu Bu alive, the official will be promoted to the third level, and the reward will be a thousand taels!" ”
Lu Bu was also anxious, reinforcements arrived, but these enemies did not hesitate to die together.
He ordered "all on bayonets!" The distance was too close, and the flintlock pistol was no longer useful, so it had to be loaded with a bayonet and used as a spear.
Lu Bu didn't bring the horse lance, he took two horizontal knives and protected Zhuge Liang with Wang Quan, while Xu Shu was responsible for protecting Li Su.
Zhuge Liang was not afraid, he was still in the mood to study his own bayonet.
"My lord, if this bayonet blocks the muzzle, it is equivalent to giving up shooting, I suggest that it can be installed under the muzzle, so that it can shoot at close range."
Lu Bu is also convinced, Zhuge Liang still has the heart to improve the bayonet at this critical juncture?
"Kong Ming rest assured, it's just an experimental product now, the next generation of products, and the bayonet will be improved, you're right!"
As soon as the words fell, Lu Bu raised his foot and kicked away a Jingzhou infantry who pounced, and then stabbed another Jingzhou soldier in the neck.
Wen Ping saw that the enemy's hoplites were still desperately climbing up the mountain, and he was also anxious.
"Throw all the grenades and axes at me, and then charge, and hit them with horses!"
He thought that the crossbow was too slow, so he approached and desperately beckoned these hoplites with grenades and axes.
They chose a more open front, where they could charge on horseback.
There were also some Jingzhou Army infantry at the foot of the mountain, who also desperately came up to block it.
At this time, the sound of artillery shells exploding sounded again in the distance, and the artillery battalion of the special operations division had already begun to attack most of the Jingzhou Army that was blocking them head-on.
Wenpin's special operations regiment broke the Jingzhou army below the mountain like a flood that burst the embankment, and rushed up the narrow mountain road.
The grenade was thrown behind the hoplite's buttocks, and it exploded directly into the chrysanthemum.
The officers and men of the 1st Special Warfare Regiment rushed upwards under the leadership of Wen Ping.
The war horse hit the big shield and heavy armor of the hoplites, although the war horses were blocked from the momentum of the charge, but the oncoming Jingzhou heavy armored infantry vomited blood, and the bones were broken and tendons.
There was the brave fighter of the special operations division, grabbing a grenade, jumped from his horse into the enemy's crowd and pulled the grenade.
With tears in his eyes, Wen Ping screamed loudly and shouted that he didn't know the meaning, brandishing a big knife and slashing at the enemy in front of him.
One after another, the horses of the 1st Special Warfare Regiment crashed into the big shield and the hoplites, and no one hesitated, no one hesitated, and no one flinched.
Not all troops can play with their lives, the Jingzhou army is fighting at their own doorstep, how can they give up their lives for their lives?
Although Liu Bei and Wei Yan gave a high reward, they also have to have a life flower?
Therefore, in front of the central army, the Jingzhou army did not need to give an order, it dispersed and retreated.
At this time, Lu Bu was already covered in blood and entangled with the Jingzhou army, more than a hundred guard companies, fifty shadows had fallen half, Wang Quan and Xu Shu were injured, and Zhuge Liang was also holding a crossbow and kept shooting.
