Chapter 589: Spear Ride
readx;??? readx; galloping all the way, fortunately, they were not far from the end of this trail, and the previous casualties also aroused everyone's survival**, in less than the time of tea, the two brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang had already rushed out of the range of the reed field in the first place, and the army behind them had basically escaped. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Bastard, what the hell is going on, how did we come across an ambush!" Lu Xiang roared angrily.
Originally, this was already a thankless task, but now that he hasn't won the slightest bit of goodness, he has suffered a big loss first, and with Lu Xiang's violent temper, he can't help it a long time ago.
Lu Kuang didn't respond, turned his head and glanced at it, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "I don't know, but fortunately, the enemy didn't pursue." ”
Although Lu Kuang said it easily, he was already angry in his heart.
Looking at it from a distance, at least 3,000 casualties were in the ambush just now, and the rest of these people were also in shock.
In this situation, let alone a surprise attack on Xiangyang, it is already very good to be able to find a way to protect yourself.
And the most important thing is that they have killed so many people, and they haven't even seen the shadow of the enemy, how many people are in the enemy, who sent them to ambush, they are so ignorant, they are really aggrieved.
"Didn't chase it!" Lu Xiang was shocked in his heart, subconsciously glanced behind him, and said angrily: "I just said, there are not many people in ambush, let's go back and destroy those bastards." ”
"Don't be impulsive...... This may also be a trick for the enemy to lure the enemy! Lu Kuang stopped again.
Lu Xiang was immediately angry, glared at Lu Kuang and shouted: "Big brother, you are so timid, what else can you do." ”
Lu Kuang frowned and explained, "I'm just being careful. If ......"
In an instant, Lu Kuang's words came to an abrupt end, and he looked ahead with a shocked face.
And Lu Xiang didn't have any words to refute, and also looked in the direction of Lu Kuang's line of sight with a shocked expression.
I saw a cavalry of 2,000 men not far away, roaring and rushing towards them.
"Impossible, how can there be cavalry here!" Suddenly, Lu Xiang's eyes widened and he roared directly.
Cavalry, that's a rarity. Even in the north, it is a precious army, even he has more than 200,000 soldiers and horses under Yuan Shao, but there are only more than 10,000 cavalry.
It's something that can't be helped. First, the war horses needed by the cavalry were originally strategic materials, not to mention the high price, and sometimes they couldn't even be bought with money.
Now that Liangzhou has fallen into the hands of Zhou Fan, Zhou Fan naturally will not let the materials of war horses flow from Liangzhou into the Han Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a monopoly.
And Youzhou is similar. The forces under the command of Gongsun Chan have already banned the sale of war horses, so it is naturally better to keep this kind of treasure in their own hands.
And now the only place where you can buy war horses is Bingzhou, but Rao is like this, and the number is not much, which can be said to be in short supply.
This is also because the cavalry is difficult to train, and the average cavalry cannot be taken out without two or three years of training.
Just like the more than 10,000 cavalry under his command Yuan Shao, it is far from the time when they can be used to kill the enemy. Riding isn't good at all.
The North is already like this, let alone the South.
The cavalry is in the south, so it is as rare as the giant panda in later generations.
Yuan Shu's power is so huge, it is already very good to be able to come up with five thousand cavalry, let alone others.
If you really want to talk about it, now in the south, the most cavalry under his command belongs to Lu Bu, although the Bingzhou wolf cavalry under his command suffered heavy losses in the battle of Hangu Pass, but the small number is definitely not comparable to others, otherwise Sun Jian would not have been defeated in the hands of Lu Bu.
That's why. Lu Kuang would feel like a ghost when he saw this cavalry of 2,000 people.
There must be no under Liu Biao, not to mention that he Liu Biao can't have a war horse, even if he does, Liu Biao has only been a pastor in Jingzhou for more than a year. It is impossible to train cavalry, and looking at the elite appearance of the two thousand cavalry in front of them, the neat formation, it is definitely after a long period of training.
As for Sun Jian, there is a cavalry under his command, and it is still the 2,000 war horses that he asked for from Zhou Fan.
It's just that after years of fighting. Not to mention two thousand rides, Sun Jian can still have a thousand horses left, which is already very good.
And the only one who can get 2,000 cavalry, Lu Xiang can be very sure that he is attacking Runan at this moment, otherwise the two of them would not take advantage of this good opportunity to surprise attack Xiangyang, then it is impossible for Lu Bu's cavalry to come here.
Liu Biao, Sun Jian, and Lu Bu are all impossible, Lu Xiang really can't figure out who else will ambush them in such a place at this time.
"Don't talk nonsense, no matter whose person it is, let's fight first!" Lu Kuang shouted.
He knew very well that although the infantry had been defeated by the cavalry, there was no other way now.
With the mobility of the cavalry, they can't escape even if they want to, they have only one way to fight, how can they say that there are still 7,000 people, and they don't have the strength to fight.
"Kill me!" Lu Xiang gave an order, and the 7,000 troops behind him were killed by the 2,000 cavalry in front, but everyone could see how low the morale of these 7,000 soldiers and horses was.
"Meng Qi, you have to be careful yourself." At the forefront of the cavalry, Zhao Yun's white horse and silver spear rushed to the front in the first place, and beside him was Jin Ma Chao.
"General Zhao, don't underestimate people." Ma Chao said proudly.
Hearing this, Zhao Yun also smiled, although Ma Chao was young, his martial arts were not weak, otherwise Zhou Yu would not let him follow Zhao Yun to kill the enemy.
"Throw guns!" Seeing that the two sides were about to collide, Zhao Yun gave an order.
With Zhao Yun's order, the two thousand horsemen held the gun in their left hand at the same time, and in their right hand, they took out a short spear with a thickness of two fingers from the saddle on the side.
Drink! The two thousand people shouted at the same time, and at the same time raised their right arms and threw the short guns in their hands heavily.
"Something!" Lu Kuang was taken aback immediately, they hadn't seen cavalry, and they had even seen cavalry shooting, but they had never seen a spear like this.
"Gear!" Lu Xiang hurriedly shouted, and the spear in his hand danced instantly, blocking the short spears flying towards him from the air.
And the army behind him doesn't have the ability of Lu Xiang, and the ordinary arrows are okay, but this short gun is already heavy, and there are not many people who can block it like Lu Xiang, and even if they can block it, they can't completely stop its attack, but instead shoot at the companions next to them.
In an instant, there were bursts of blood and screams. (To be continued.) )
