Chapter 1420: Heavy casualties
The heavy cavalry that followed Xiahoudun showed its sharp fangs, and where it passed, people turned over on their backs, and the heavy cavalry had absolute defense, and the knives, guns, bows and arrows in the hands of the cavalry of the Jingzhou army were difficult to form effective damage to them, and they won on the battlefield by virtue of defense and impact.
With the charge of the heavy cavalry, there was a one-sided situation on the battlefield, but wherever the heavy cavalry passed, the cavalry of the Jingzhou army scattered and fled, and in their eyes, these heavy cavalry were invulnerable.
When Xiahoudun led the heavy cavalry to appear in front of the Jingzhou army, Jingzhou's navy still seemed a little flustered, without the slightest hesitation, Xiahoudun led the cavalry to rush into the Jingzhou army, and the thousand heavy cavalry on the other side were only a little late, and then broke through the blockage of the Jingzhou cavalry, which was the crushing brought by absolute strength.
The heavy cavalry rushed into the Jingzhou naval army, bringing continuous losses to the Jingzhou naval army.
When Su Fei saw such a scene, although he tried his best to order the soldiers to step forward to block, it was difficult to stop the pace of the heavy cavalry charge, once these cavalry charged, they could not be killed by relying on the number of soldiers, although there were 2,000 heavy cavalry, which was enough to defeat tens of thousands of Jingzhou troops.
It was fifty miles away from Xiangyang, and by the time the defenders of Xiangyang arrived, the battlefield must have come to an end.
Among the Jingzhou army, the most elite is the navy, and the Jiangdong army also admits that there are not a few battles in the Jingzhou navy, but in front of the heavy cavalry, they can only support it hard, seeing a soldier fall under the charge of the heavy cavalry, Su Fei was angry, and it was to no avail.
After the battle lasted for three hours, the Jingzhou naval army began a comprehensive rout, they faced the Cao army's heavy cavalry, they could not raise the slightest fighting spirit, the heavy cavalry had used their invincible charge, so that the naval army was terrified.
Su Fei led the naval army and did not break through in the direction of Xiangyang, he was not sure whether there were still ambushes of Cao's army on the way, and it was most appropriate to return to the naval army.
If the Jingzhou Navy wants to retreat, Xiahoudun will not let it go easily, how aggrieved he was on the battlefield in Huguan back then, and now he wants to regain his prestige in the Jingzhou Army.
After chasing for thirty miles, Xiahoudun ordered the cavalry to gather and gather the surrendered Jingzhou soldiers in one place.
The heavy cavalry finally stopped chasing and killing, and Su Fei's fear gradually calmed down, when facing these heavy cavalry of the Cao army, Su Fei's feeling was deep helplessness, invulnerability, and strong combat effectiveness, even if the war horse was covered with armor, it was still not comparable to the foot soldiers in terms of speed.
After collecting the soldiers and horses, there were less than 5,000 soldiers and horses, many of whom were wounded.
"General, what should I do?" The adjutant general's face was a little pale, and it was obvious that he had not recovered from the might of the enemy army.
Su Fei was silent for a long time and said: "The order we received is to rush to the aid of Xiangyang, if we retreat halfway, the military advisor will definitely ask for the guilt." ”
"General, the cavalry of the Cao army is too fierce, our army can't stop it, if you encounter these cavalry again on the way, wouldn't it be dangerous, we are the Jingzhou naval army, and we are good at fighting on the river." Adjutant said.
The rest of the generals also agreed, mainly because they didn't want to face the heavy cavalry of the Cao army again, and the majesty of the heavy cavalry charging up made them unforgettable for life.
"No, Xiangyang is in danger at this time, if we dare not go to Xiangyang because of the cavalry of the Cao army, then Xiangyang will be difficult to hold in the face of the attack of the Cao army, if Xiangyang is lost, how can the Jingzhou naval army last long." Su Fei said.
Seeing Su Fei's firm tone, the generals in the field were silent, no one would disobey Su Fei's orders at such a time, Su Fei was a general under Huang Zu, Huang Zu had a great reputation in Jingzhou back then, not only had good martial arts, but also brutal methods, Su Fei happened to inherit Huang Zu, which made Su Fei a general of the water army for a short time, and had a certain control over the water army, otherwise with Liu Bei's support, he would not be able to gain a foothold in the Jingzhou water army so quickly.
"Do you want to disobey the orders of this general? Now Jingzhou is in danger, as a courtier of the Han family, we should fight hard, how can we retreat because of the strength of the enemy, after the victory of the Cao army, maybe it has returned to Xiangyang. Su Fei snorted coldly.
"Willing to obey the orders of the generals!" The generals in the field hugged their fists one after another.
Seeing this scene, Su Fei's face showed a smile, "It is a great achievement for you to follow this general to Xiangyang to support, if you can repel the Cao army because of this, you will be the hero of the Han Dynasty, why not promote your current official position." ”
Many generals felt a little better after hearing these words, although the current court is in Jingzhou, due to the discussion of the princes of the world, Liu Bei did not reward the officials of Jingzhou, Liu Qi secretly obeyed Liu Bei's orders, and naturally did not dare to disobey, and the promotion of official positions was a big temptation for the generals.
After preparing the troops and horses, Su Fei rushed in the direction of Xiangyang again, but this time he was much more cautious, and the scouts sent out were always on the news of the surroundings to avoid giving Cao Jun an opportunity to take advantage of.
Along the way, many soldiers who were defeated that day were gathered, so that Su Fei's team gradually grew a little.
After Xiahoudun defeated the naval reinforcements, he only ordered five hundred heavy cavalry to escort the captives to Xiangyang, and the rest of the heavy cavalry did not leave, his task was not only to deal with Su Fei, but any army that dared to rush to the aid of Xiangyang, for this task, Xiahoudun was very satisfied, especially seeing the scene of the enemy army collapsing under the charge of the heavy cavalry, which made him feel extremely comfortable.
"General, Su Fei led the Jingzhou Navy to appear again, only thirty miles away from our army."
After hearing these words, Xiahoudun was shocked, originally thought that after defeating Su Fei, there would be no war in a short time, but he didn't expect that this Su Fei was also a bold person, and after being defeated once, he would dare to come.
"General Ben knows, summons scouts, lurks, and keeps a close eye on the enemy's movements." After Xiahoudun finished speaking, he fell into deep thought, only after this enemy army was completely defeated, could the defenders of Xiangyang be completely shaken, Su Fei's behavior undoubtedly created an opportunity for Xiahoudun.
After the previous battle, Xiahoudun believed that as long as he led the heavy cavalry to appear again, it would definitely make the enemy army fearful, and what he had to do was how to completely defeat these enemy troops, so that they did not dare to go to Xiangyang to support again.
