Chapter 216: Hou Cheng of Luck
The phalanx of the Han people caught Su You off guard.
This kind of battle formation has rarely been seen by you. In his eyes, this kind of phalanx is not worth mentioning at all under his iron horse! With a single charge, those foot soldiers will be routed. None of those so-called lineups could withstand the horse's hoof's charge.
But this time, it disappointed Su.
His opponents are not those cowardly Han people in his eyes, but the elite who follow Lu Bu in a hundred battles! They Huns lick blood on the edge of the knife! But which of these elites didn't crawl out of the pile of dead? In the face of those menacing cavalry, none of them retreated! Even the one in front of him made the war horse shatter the bones of his whole body and fell to the ground with a scream. But there were also Han soldiers behind him, who made up for it with shields.
The stubborn resistance of the Han people caused Su You to suffer heavy losses. It was also difficult for those Hun cavalry to break through these strong shield arrays. Even if it breaks the blood flow when it hits the head, it is difficult to gnaw this hard bone.
In such a situation, Su You also reacted very quickly and no longer gnawed at this small fortress. This is a well-trained Han pawn, an elite team of a hundred battles! Stronger than any Han army they had ever encountered!
After the rain of arrows, the Hun cavalry suffered heavy losses. In the number of people, I greatly reduce it! If it weren't for the heavy losses, you would still think that you would be able to break down these battle formations and slaughter these foot soldiers. But now, no.
He decided to give full play to the mobility of the cavalry. With a Xiongnu cavalry numbering about a few thousand horsemen as the flank, it bypassed the phalanx and took the Han army from the rear in a roundabout way.
Seeing Su You's intentions, Li Ru, who was in command of the Chinese army, hurriedly informed Lu Bu of the battle situation, but Lu Bu chuckled, "Let them come!" β
"Why don't you let the wolf riders on the flanks exterminate these thousand horses?"
Li Ru was a little worried.
The Chinese army can be said to be the top priority.
The commander of the first army is sitting in the Chinese army! If you really let these more than 1,000 horsemen rush in front of Lu Bu, what if there is any mistake?
Standing on the high platform, Lu Bu watched the situation and shook his head slightly, "I look at this situation, it is difficult for you to hold on for long...... The flanks were wolf riders, but they were responsible for encircling the fleeing Hun cavalry...... Don't touch ......"
The wolf riders have experienced several bloody battles, and the cavalry is also a little weak. In this battle, the wolf cavalry shot over a few rounds except when the Hun cavalry charged. It is also the duty to harass the Hun cavalry with arrows. LΓΌ Bu did not let the wolf cavalry participate in the battle, because he understood that if Su You was defeated, then the defeated Hun cavalry would become fish and meat on the chopping board, and they could eat whatever they wanted. However, the infantry army could not expand the results of the battle. The only thing to pursue is to come with cavalry! If the already weak wolf rider is allowed to participate in the battle again, where is there a chance to pursue? Such a decision is also to let the wolf ride recuperate.
Of course, the most important point is that Lu Bu didn't think that these Hun cavalry would defeat the elite of the 30,000 Han army!
"Order, Song Xianhou will become two generals and block these more than 1,000 horses!"
Lu Bu ordered.
"No!"
Li Ru issued a military order for Lu Bu.
The flag soldiers of the Chinese army are also quick generals, and the order was conveyed to Song Xian and Hou Cheng. After receiving the military order, Song Xian and Hou Cheng did not hesitate at all, and immediately built a line of defense.
The leader of the Huns who led more than 1,000 horsemen ordered by you was none other than Cao Xingchenglian and others! As a general under the command of Su You, Hu Zheng is deeply trusted by Su You, and he is also a spirit of 3,000 cavalry to defend the peace. As a result, the battle was pacified, and the call for a great defeat almost made Su You cut off his head! Angry, you are extremely cruel. You must know that after He Long was defeated, the few leaders who fled back made Su You cut off his head. Compared to them, the call sign that only lost an ear is considered lucky.
In any case, Hu Zheng is also a general under the command of Su You, and his status in the clan is not low, so he did not let Su You cut off his head. But Hu Zheng also understood in his heart that this time you ordered him to take a detour and go straight to the Chinese army of the Han army, which was a death order! If he loses again, you will definitely cut him down.
More than a thousand rides, not much, but enough! Most of the strength of the Han army is fighting with Sumeru! The number of troops that you can give is also very small. Moreover, these more than 1,000 horsemen, Xu You's order is only to disrupt the Han Chinese army, and the best result can be to attack and kill the commander of the Han army.
"Kill!"
Life and death are at hand, and Hu Zheng doesn't think about it anymore! At this time, he can only wash away his shame! Atonement, otherwise only death awaits him!
More than 1,000 horsemen, all of them brave, under the leadership of Hu Zheng, easily broke through the first line of defense. After all, there are not many of these Han soldiers! There are probably only more than 3,000 soldiers and horses blocking the periphery! As long as these lines of defense are broken, the Chinese army can be taken directly. In the Chinese army, there are only more than 1,000 armor guards.
These more than 1,000 Hun cavalry can be completely broken!
"It's finally my turn to make meritorious contributions......"
This more than 1,000 rides, Lu Bu did not pay attention to it. Naturally, there will not be many soldiers and horses for Hou Cheng and Song Xian. Looking at these more than 1,000 cavalry, they easily broke through the first line of defense, and Hou Cheng also knew that these more than 1,000 Hun cavalry would probably be very brave! The 3,000 of them are also a little difficult to stop. The most terrifying thing about the cavalry charge is its momentum! If you see the cavalry rushing towards you, you will be afraid! Don't dare to step forward, it will inevitably make the momentum of the cavalry more majestic! Break through the defense all the way, and no one can stop you. But if you see the cavalry rushing towards you and fighting desperately, if you stop their initial charge, they will gradually run out! Unable to move forward.
Following Lu Bu for so many years, Hou Cheng also deeply understands the horror of cavalry. But seeing these Hun cavalry, Hou Cheng was not afraid, only excited! When they followed Lu Bu, they even had the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and they were afraid of these Hun cavalry? In addition to his own wolf cavalry, which cavalry did he Hou Cheng fear?
Seeing that the main general Hou Cheng was facing the thousands of Hun cavalry, those soldiers also rushed forward. Unexpectedly, the momentum of the Hun cavalry charge was forcibly blocked.
And Hu Zheng, who was charging forward, saw this scene, his eyes were red, and he roared forward! When he was pulling the blade away from the body of a Hun cavalryman, Hou Cheng felt a strong wind and hurriedly avoided it! But the sharp blade still stabbed and cut the armor on his body, and the bright red blood remained, Hou Cheng didn't have time to pain, and looked at the general, it was the leader of the Huns! At this time, he was saying a lot of words that he didn't understand, and he slashed with a knife!
Rumble!
At this time, the war horse under Hou Cheng's crotch also fell down with a bang! On the side of the war horse, a hideous wound appeared! The knife just now not only almost killed Hou Cheng, but also slashed the war horse under Hou Cheng's crotch.
Seeing the call on the horse, Hou Cheng, who raised the butcher's knife high, lost his weapon, and threw it off the horse, wanted to cry without tears.
Luck, it's too bad!
