Chapter 4 Section 17 Confrontation

On the morning of the 24th, Liu Beijun's whole army pulled out of camp and arrived in front of the Tiger Prison Pass.

Starting from Xingyang, after walking through the 30-mile plain, you can see the continuous soil mountain, the two mountains are interrupted, and a pass stands when the mountain stands, that is, the Tiger Prison Pass. After the pass, the mountain road leads directly to Chenggao City. On the west side of Kansai, the shallow Bishui River makes a bend and trickles south. Therefore, the Tiger Prison Pass is also known as Bishui Pass or Chenggao Pass.

The Yellow River in the north, the Song Mountain in the south, when the east-west traffic is rushing, Li Shimin in the early Tang Dynasty defeated Dou Jiande's 100,000 troops with 3,000 soldiers, that is, the famous "Battle of the Tiger Prison". Now, Liu Bei is approaching with an army of nearly 30,000 to oppose Lu Bu's 70,000 iron cavalry, but he is uneasy in his heart.

From afar, only to see the shadow of the Tiger Prison Pass from the telescope, Liu Bei immediately reined in the horse's reins, narrowed his eyes, looked at the terrain, and said: "This place is very good, Ruidong, immediately set up camp here." ”

The auxiliary corps moved quickly, rows of fixed wooden fences were knocked into the soil, and then the adjacent wooden fences were connected with spikes, and after a while, a 3-mile-long horse rejection line was erected behind the Qingzhou soldiers. Beside the fence, several watchtowers rose from the ground and rapidly expanded to both sides.

The tiger prison was closed, the military flag fluttered, and the horn roared. Seeing the arrival of Liu Bei's army, Lu Bu switched out and waved his army to meet the enemy.

A good Lu Bu, the red rabbit BMW under the crotch, like a flame burning, the fiery red robe shook in the wind, adding to the majesty. Black leather armor, leather armor embedded with golden metal armor, flashing and shining. The halberd in his hand emitted a trace of coldness, like a wolf's gaze sweeping, like an awl piercing a person's body.

Liu Bei sighed deeply, this place is 5 miles away from the Tiger Pass, and the endless plain is suitable for the deployment of troops, and it is more suitable for the assault of cavalry. And the state iron horse, and the state iron horse, is the state iron horse really that powerful?

"Ruidong, speed up the establishment of the camp, and the Sixth Army quickly enters the camp and prepares for defense." Liu Bei raised his voice and ordered.

"Yun Chang, you lead the 14th Army Corps to spread out on the left flank; Yide, you take the 15th Army Corps to spread out on the right flank; Bingyuan (Guan Hai), you lead the ironclad army in the center, advance 100 steps, and stabilize your position; The First and Second Army Corps were under my command; Brother Meng De, you and I are in the Chinese army to take care of it. ”

After Liu Bei finished speaking, he told uneasily: "Yuan Zhi (Xu Shu), the camp is under your command, that is the last line of defense of our army, once our army is unfavorable, it will retreat to the camp, you pay attention to it." ”

Xu Shu rebuked unhappily and said: "Lord, although it is correct to reserve a back road, but the lord did not engage in the battle, and thought of defeat first, with this mentality to face the enemy, how can the morale of the army be boosted?" The Lord has experienced a hundred battles in his life, and he has not tasted a single defeat, and the cavalry of the state, and the small enemy, even this can't be defeated, how can he dominate the world? I also hope that the Lord will lift his spirits and reap the glory of victory. ”

Liu Bei suddenly woke up and replied sharply: "What Yuan Zhi taught is that in today's battle, if you don't win, you will die." Drums, ironclads, forward. ”

The slow, heavy drum sounded, with the heavy footsteps of the ironclad army, "boom, boom, boom, boom", step by step, as if stepping on people's hearts.

Approaching, the ironclad army approached Lu Bu, who stood proudly in front of the formation.

"Bright shield", Guan Hai roared loudly, and in an instant, the ironclad army flipped his wrist and showed a shuttle-shaped iron shield, and the silver light shone on Lu Bu, who squinted his eyes and blocked the light with his palm.

The fusiform iron shield is 60 centimeters wide and 110 centimeters high, with a fishtail-shaped shuttle tail at the top, a pointed shuttle head under the square shield, and half a bowl-shaped opening on both sides of the shield.

"Vertical shield" Guan Hai gave the order again, and in the sound of drums, the ironclad soldiers adjusted their pace, and in a blink of an eye, the six steel Great Walls composed of 3,000 soldiers were erected. The iron shields of every ten soldiers were connected in a row, about a meter apart from each other, and the pointed shuttle heads under the iron shields were fiercely stuck in the dirt, and the soldiers held their shields diagonally, holding the shield in one hand and carrying a short-handled battle axe in the other.

Lu Bu's soldiers still did not move, and immediately in front of the two armies, Lu Bu's battle robe was fluttering, with a face full of disdain, he quietly watched the ironclad soldiers set up.

"First legionnaires, the whole army has entered the Iron Array." Liu Bei ordered loudly.

The soldiers of the First Legion began at the order, and after that, the spearmen who entered the formation stood behind the shield soldiers. "Tree Spear" - With Guan Hai's order, at the fishtail above the shield, on the round hole connected by the shield, rows of staggered spears were mounted. The entire formation was like an iron-armored hedgehog, with countless iron spikes sticking out.

Lu Bu's face turned cold, and the halberd in his hand was slowly raised.

"Swordsmen, on two wings; Archers, winded. The brawlers quickly rushed to the left and right of the formation, and in the gap between the six iron shields, the archers began to tighten their bowstrings.

"What kind of formation is this?" Cao Cao raised his horsewhip and pointed to the formation of ironclad soldiers and asked, "This formation does not seem to come from Sun Tzu's Eight Formations. ”

Sun Tzu's Eight Formations are not the formations of fish scales, sharp arrows, crane wings, glaives, square circles, geese, long snakes, and yokes as later generations believed. The eight formations originally recorded in the Art of War are: square formation, circular formation, cone marching array, goose marching array, hook marching array, Xuanxiang array, sparse array, several arrays, and fire array, and water array.

The square formation was extremely popular in the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period, mainly using military vehicles to form formations, and such formations were no longer popular in the Han Dynasty. Cao Cao himself is an expert in formation, and in the "New Book of Mengde", there is a special chapter on the method of marching and arranging formations. The Qingzhou soldiers formed a square formation with shields, however, each row of soldiers in this phalanx was scattered, and the formation of the ranks was completely different from that of Sun Tzu's chariot formation, and Cao Cao immediately noticed those differences.

Liu Bei stared closely at Lu Bu's actions, and said with a sloppy eye: "This is a new practice formation born from Sun Tzu's phalanx. ”

Cao Cao praised lightly: "Sun Tzu's eight formations are the originator of all formations, Xuande Gong can bring forth the new and practice new formations, it's really not simple." ”

Yu Ban interjected and said: "Sun Tzu's eight formations, and all of them are practical? ”

Liu Bei pretended not to hear this, and stared closely at Lu Bu's actions, only to see Lu Bu holding a halberd and shaking it above his head.

Cao Cao still couldn't let go of the forbidden topic, and asked: "Wen Ze, how do you say this?" ”

Yu Ban replied proudly: "I have carefully studied Sun Tzu's Art of War, the times are different, Sun Tzu's eight formations based on car battles must be transformed to be practical, however, some of these formations, such as the Wild Goose Array, I have not yet found his practicality?"

The geese-shaped formation needs to be arranged into a large depth of geese, and how to convey military orders in this great depth is a big problem. It is often said that the geese marching array is a kind of archery formation, but in fact, the geese marching array is the most unsuitable as an archer formation.

The use of archers on the battle formation is to cover a large area of the enemy's charging path and give the enemy the greatest damage, which requires the concentrated use of archers. However, the goose-shaped formation did the opposite. The bow has a limited range, and the archers are arranged in great depth, so that when the archers at the head of the geese array (the top of the V-shape) have enough range to shoot at the enemy, the soldiers at the bottom of the geese array are limited by the range and cannot shoot. When the enemy hits the head of the goose and begins to slaughter the archers who are unable to melee combat, the soldiers at the bottom of the goose formation will be able to shoot at the enemy.

There are many constraints on the shooting of archers, for example, the same shooting angle requires a full bow, and when the soldier is nervous and pulls it to half full, the shooting distance is very different. The geese-shaped formation is arranged in a large depth, which is the most likely formation for the archers to accidentally injure each other, the archers in the back row can easily shoot down the archers in the front row, and the archers on both flanks can easily shoot at each other when the enemy breaks through.

In the same way, this kind of formation arranged in large depth, because it disperses troops in each layer, is not suitable for infantry formation, this formation cannot concentrate the use of strength, and the large depth makes it difficult to change formations......"

Liu Bei interrupted Yu Ban's rambling: "Lu Bu's army is starting to warm up, Wen Ze, do you think it will attack us first." ”

Just kidding, I can't let Yu Ban talk about it anymore, this is the first military training expert in the Three Kingdoms period, and his understanding of military affairs is extraordinary, and Cao Wei's elite soldiers are all from this person's hands. If it weren't for the fact that he had surrendered to the enemy country, it is estimated that history would never have understated him, however, even so, history has left a heavy mark on him. If he is allowed to continue talking, Liu Bei's military formation is no longer a secret.

The development of Chinese formations, the most brilliant time is the Song Dynasty, the Song army in foreign wars of the exhaustion of defeats, its infantry in the war in the poor performance of the cause of national reflection, soon, in the Central Plains there was a new use of formations to deal with the Liao, the trend of the Jin cavalry, but because the Song Dynasty's military power is mostly controlled by civilian officials, where do they know what is called actual combat. As a result, a set of strange formations born according to Sun Tzu's eight formations appeared, such as: wheel array, Chong square array, Changshan array, Bagua array, Fengyang array, Dragon Flying array, Taiyi array, five flower array, bending array, straight array, Changhong array, holding odd array, head array, starry array, Chongxia array, six flowers and seven army arrays, and so on, and so on.

The Song soldiers, who were holding the most advanced weapons at that time and lined up with these brilliant ancient formations, could not defeat the barbarians who never knew what the formation was, did not speak about the formation, and did not even have words. Judging from the actual combat effect, arranging these formations is worse than no formation.

In the Han Dynasty, where the words of the ancients were absolutely unchangeable, Yu Ban dared to doubt the past and confuse the present, no wonder this person could become the first military training expert in the Three Kingdoms. It's a pity that from the historical records, it is not clear what kind of formation you like to use.

At this time, Lu Bu suddenly waved the iron halberd, the sound of horses' hooves rang out, and the two teams of state soldiers came out together, breaking towards the two wings of the Qingzhou soldiers.

"Lu Bu is not as good as Xu Rong in commanding the army," Cao Cao sighed. According to the iron array formed by Liu Bei, the two wings are the most flexible iron fists, which can retreat into the central camp at any time, or launch an assault. Lu Bu's two wings came out together, dealing with the ordinary camp, maybe it was a step high chess, however, the two wings of Qingzhou were completely under the protection of the central camp, and it was really not a clever move to assault the two wings.

"If you have the courage to fight hard, you should send a large army to shake the Qingzhou Soldiers' ironclad formation head-on, with both wings, and only reject and contain the troops. The two wings can change the formation at any time, and the central formation is not easy to change, it is a defensive formation! Cao Cao said with emotion.

Liu Bei raised his binoculars and observed the surprise enemy army: "The left flank formed a tight formation and defended; The right flank was arranged in a sparse formation, allowing the enemy troops to enter the position. Chinese archers, began to shoot at the enemy on the right. ”

And the state soldiers are near, too fast, too fast, the archers have three rounds of shooting, and the archers who shoot empty arrows have not had time to replace the arrows, such as the rain of arrows, and the state army crashed into the Qingzhou army formation on the right flank, and on the left flank, wave after wave of cavalry seemed to hit the angry waves of the rock, and hit Guan Yu's infantry formation wave after wave.

"In the middle of the army, the spearmen came out in unison, flanking the enemy on the right flank; Archers, supporting the left flank. ”

In a blink of an eye, the Chinese army formation seemed to have turned into a fortress that was constantly spitting lightning, and that lightning was the spearmen of the First Legion. Rows of spearmen lined up in a neat formation, protruding from the central formation, piercing into the battle circle like lightning, and piercing into the flanks of the iron cavalry of the state. Suddenly, the right wing of the Qingzhou soldiers turned into a large whirlpool that absorbed life, a large round pot stirring flesh and blood.

The ownerless horses were rushing and smashing, the cavalry and infantry were slashing and smashing, the battle line was intertwined, and human flesh and horse flesh were mixed with mud and weeds, boiling into a pot of dark red porridge.

Painful groans, bitter howls, swords and spears clashing, swords and axes slashing each other, the sound of steel stabbing eardrums; The sound of drums and horns mingled into a terrible roar.

"Enough, blow the trumpet, order the spearmen of the 1st Army to slowly close their formation, pass through the center army, and support the left flank." Liu Bei ordered.

Suddenly, the opposite side of the state soldiers camp sounded the attack horn, and the state soldiers came out in a group and rushed straight to the middle army formation.

The battle on the left flank was not ending, the battle on the right flank was about to end, and the spearmen of the Chinese army came out, and it was the weakest time, Lu Bu urged the horse to pounce on the Chinese army with the whole army.

"The previous order was canceled, the spearmen of the 1st Corps, continue to fight on the right flank, and the spearmen of the 2nd Corps, all entered the formation." Liu Bei quickly commanded the spearmen of the Second Army Corps around him to enter the central formation, and looked at the left flank in the fierce battle, Liu Bei's face was anxious.

Cao Cao waved his horsewhip and ordered: "Yuan Rang (Xiahou Dun), you bring 1,000 men and horses to support the left flank." ”

Lu Bu burst in, and the lightning rushed Lu Bu's halberd stab, and in the front row, three ironclad soldiers fell to the ground with a bang. Lu Bu flicked his horse, rushed in from the gap, waved his halberd, and killed many armor soldiers one after another.

"Make up the formation! Shield soldiers, besiege and kill" Liu Bei Yixi gave an urgent order.

The soldiers in front of Lu Bu gave in slightly, leading Lu Bu to go deeper, the military horn sounded, the back row of shield soldiers pulled out their shields, and surrounded Lu Bu, and in an instant, a layer of iron tightly wrapped Lu Bu.

"Wan Sheng", the soldiers cheered, and the gap in the front row shield array was quickly filled.

"Wansheng", the shield was slightly tilted, a row of spearmen flashed out from behind the shield, ten spearmen pierced the horse's hooves, ten spearmen pierced Lu Bu's feet, and ten spearmen raised their guns, trying to put Lu Bu on the horse.

As soon as Lu Bu lifted the reins of the horse, the red rabbit horse man stood up, and the spearman who miscalculated the height fell short, and Lu Bu's man immediately waved the halberd wheel in a circle, swinging all the weapons, and without waiting for the remaining spearmen to fill the position, the red rabbit horse kicked down and kicked a shield.

The shield soldier was shaking, Lu Bu probed with a halberd on his horse, and the shield soldier was bleeding from his throat and staggered to the ground.

A good red rabbit horse, a good Lu Bu, I saw him lift the reins, burst out of the shield circle, 80 people surrounded and killed, but he couldn't kill him?

I can't see it clearly from a distance, but when I look closely, the red rabbit horse is really majestic, and the tall and stout figure really looks like an Izumo horse.

I can't care so much, the archers used in the formation are easy to be injured by mistake, but if Lu Bu is allowed to stir up in the formation, the consequences are unimaginable: "Archers, prepare to shoot, shoot him." ”

Seeing the archers surrounding, Lu Bu swung his halberd. The red rabbit horse leaped over the heads of the shield soldiers in the front row—Lu Bu broke out.

Liu Bei sighed secretly in his heart: "What a fierce general." ”

Lu Bu, who came out of the encirclement, became erratic, and the front formation that appeared from time to time broke a few shield soldiers, dodged and floated away, and gradually, like peeling the skin of an onion, the ironclad shield array was slowly peeled off layer by layer, and the subsequent influx of Bingzhou cavalry tore and gnawed at the Qingzhou ironclad army in front of him like a greedy bear. The soldiers' desperate resistance was so fragile in front of Lu Bu.

"You must drag Lu Bu", Liu Bei made up his mind, tightened the arm shield in his hand, jumped off the horse and adjusted the horse's belly pocket: "Come on, let's have a heroic battle." ”

Jumping on the horse, Liu Bei ordered in a loud voice: "Bring my halberd." ”

The halberd is a weapon similar to a halberd, but the difference is that its horizontal branch is a large axe, with a spear spike at the front end of the axe and a short hook at the other end of the axe. This weapon with a particularly large number of hooks was best suited for dealing with halberds and cavalrymen without saddles.

At this moment, a group of black-clothed and black-armored cavalry appeared behind Lu Bu, this group of cavalry had more than 700 people, the team was neat, and their faces were full of murderous energy.

"It's ...... Trapped? Liu Bei screamed unconsciously, it seems that assaulting with elite soldiers is the best strategy in Lu Bu's heart, without Gao Shun, Lu Bu still organized a fine cavalry.

"Come on", Lu Bu has already dispatched his trump card, and the battle has reached the last moment: "The whole army is assaulting, warriors, stain your robes red with the blood of the enemy, if you don't win, you will die." ”

The Qingzhou soldiers burst out with a roar: "If you don't win, you will die."

Liu Bei urged the horse to rush into the Chinese army formation, killing the lone Bingzhou cavalry along the way, looking for Lu Bu everywhere.

Cao Cao's blood boiled, he drew his sword and shouted: "Our army, the whole army supports the left flank." ”

At this moment, on the right flank, Zhang Fei had solved the enemy soldiers in front of him, and waved his army to attack the flank of the state soldiers; On the left flank, with the support of Xia Houdun, Guan Yu stabilized the formation and began to counterattack. In the Chinese army, with the addition of the new force of the Second Army, the soldiers launched an attack on the trapped camp.

Liu Bei is looking for Lu Bu, and Guan Hai is also looking for Lu Bu. Continuously breaking through the shield array made Guan Hai's heart anxious, and the dull Guan Hai also saw that the key to this battle was to entangle the brave Lu Bu.

"Lu Fengxian, take a break, Taishan Guan Bingyuan is here." Guan Hai, who first found Lu Bu, shouted, and with great difficulty dispersed the surrounding Bingzhou soldiers, gradually approaching Lu Bu.

Lu Bu set up his horse and stood proudly: "Taishan Guan Bingyuan, just a house slave, do you want to fight with me Lu Bu?" ”

Liu Bei suddenly appeared in the chaos of the army, and said: "Lu Bu, the third surnamed family slave, are you also qualified to talk about others?" What is your father's last name now? ”

Lu Bu was furious, waved his halberd and ordered the soldiers in front of him to get out of the way, urging his horse to prepare to rush towards Liu Bei.

Guan Hai invited to fight loudly: "Three family slaves, in front of someone, Hugh has to collide with my lord." Come on, come on, we're going to fight 300 rounds. ”

The halberds and spears intersected, and there was a bang, and Guan Hai and Lu Bu's weapons collided together. Without waiting for Guan Hai to react, Lu Bu drew his halberd and stabbed out like lightning. Subsequently, the battle situation fell into a one-sided slaughter, Lu Bu's halberd was like lightning, Guan Hai blocked left and right, and barely supported.

"Bingyuan, bayonet", Liu Bei reminded, Guan Hai came to his senses, took an opportunity to turn his horse and rush out, out of the battle.

Lu Bu shook his halberd and let out a sneer at Liu Bei, and Tima was ready to attack Liu Bei. On the other side, Liu Bei actually looked at him with a wicked smile, as if he wanted him to do it.

Lu Bu turned his head and saw Guan Hai, who was rushing into the distance, holding a spear, and he was rushing towards him at high speed.

Ordinary people often talk about the general's "eighteen martial arts on the horse", in fact, this is all made up by writers to deceive people, perhaps, it is the people who have been deceived, once they become cavalry generals, they all go to learn the eighteen martial arts on horses, which causes the Han cavalry to become more and more useless, and can only be used to sing and sing in the end.

The speed at which a person runs is generally about 8 meters per second (30 km/h), and the speed of a horse is about 65 kilometers per hour (as determined by the Hong Kong Jockey Society), which is equivalent to 20 m/s. The generals rode their horses and charged, galloping past, and at the moment of the staggered lightning, the relative speed reached forty meters per second. In other words, in just one second of the event, the tip of the gun raised by the military general will slide over a distance of 40 meters. The human body is only one meter wide at most.

The human nerve reflex time is 0.4 seconds, which means that the human brain wants to make an action, and this idea is transmitted to the muscles through the nerves, and the muscles then feel the consciousness of the human brain and are ready to react, and the time needs 0.4 seconds. This 0.4 seconds is enough for the war horse to run 16 meters. Not a single cavalryman charged with a 16-meter spear in order to complete his change of attack with such a spear at the moment of the charge. Therefore, the real cavalry will fight, and the time when the war horses are staggered, is only enough for the military generals to complete a prepared action, which is: bayonet stabbing and stabbing.

The most important thing is that the head and neck of the war horse are generally in front of the chest of the cavalry, if you want to wave a long weapon on the horse to change the move, then, only by raising your hands high can you ensure that the weapon is not blocked by the horse's head and successfully complete the action. In the case of a stationary horse, both sides can use the shield of the horse's head to change their bodies and change their moves.

In the case of a horse charge, this posture is a surrender posture, because it leaves the most vulnerable broad chest open, and if at the moment when the cavalry charges, whoever makes a move to change the move with a weapon is swung up, the opponent stabs him in the uncovered chest. The final fate of this military general can only be to put on the most beautiful pose, be shot smoothly, and successfully commit suicide.

Liu Bei has been competing in spear competitions all year round, and Guan Hai is the best among them, fighting with Guan Hai's strengths, which happens to be in line with Lu Bu. And once Lu Bu attacked Liu Bei in the process of fighting Guan Hai, Liu Bei just took this reason to join the battle and attack Guan Hai together.

The halberd is a weapon with a hook, and when the two horses intersect and charge, once the side hook of the halberd is hung somewhere, it takes a lot of strength to pull out the weapon. Fortunately, the Han Dynasty bridge saddle was not popular, and stirrups began to equip the army in the Jin Dynasty, so that there were not many things that could be hooked around the generals, and without saddles and stirrups, the two generals fought and knocked each other off the horse was the easiest way. Therefore, the weapon that can hook and pull the opponent off the horse, the halberd, was very popular in the Han Dynasty.

The advantage of Liu Bei's army is that it has a bridge saddle and stirrups, and the generals sit firmly on horseback, and the hook tactics of halberds are not necessarily useful for Liu Bei's cavalry. However, Lu Bu was able to perform fighting moves on a horse without a saddle stirrup, which shows that Lu Bu's riding skills are extraordinary; When the war horse jumped, he accurately slashed the halberd on the arm of others, which showed that Lu Bu's reflexes were unparalleled.

Not only that, but being able to cut off other people's hands with a weapon like a halberd, and still insisting on riding on a horse, shows that Lu Bu's strength and speed of the halberd are also unusual. Therefore, if the halberd is placed in the hands of others, it may not be harmful to Liu Bei's cavalry, but in the hands of Lu Bu, it is difficult to imagine its power.

With a nervous mood, Liu Bei watched Guan Hai approach with a gun.

Not far away, Guan Hai's body tilted slightly—this was his most proud move, and as the horse galloped, his body suddenly leaned forward, lengthening the range of his attack, and unexpectedly stabbing the enemy.

Lu Bu's halberd swayed, his eyes flickered, and the tip of the halberd was aimed at the tip of Guan Hai's spear. In an instant, Guan Hai accelerated, and his body leaned forward with the spear stabbing out, and he was hit.

It's a pity that at that moment of lightning, Lu Bu blocked Guan Hai's spurt with the crescent moon of his halberd. With the help of the impact of the galloping horse, this shot was so powerful that even with Lu Bu's bravery, he couldn't help but shake it on the horse.

Guan Hai galloped past, Lu Bu's eyes flashed, and he continued to stay in place immediately.

Liu Bei was secretly uneasy in his heart. In the opinion of ordinary people, a stationary horse is in a position of being passively beaten in order to regain the initiative, and it must start to urge the horse to run and fight with the impact of the horse. In that way, the battle situation will be transformed into a bayonet performance that Guan Hai is familiar with. And Lu Bu is still, what do you want to do?

Guan Hai's horse galloped quickly, and the spear stabbed out like lightning, only to see Lu Bu's halberd slip by—the target of his attack was actually Guan Hai's horse's hooves?

Shocked, Liu Bei couldn't help but urge him to step forward and prepare to fight.

Riders in general cherish horses, especially good horses. Between riders, it is a tacit rule not to attack each other's horses. Historically, Guan Yu's permission for Huang Zhong to change horses and fight again after Huang Zhong's horse lost his front hooves is an example, Lu Bu, as the world's first general, actually attacked the opponent's horse hooves?

With a loud "boom", Guan Hai's horse was cut off its front hooves and fell down. Lu Bu's halberd stabbed down like lightning, the halberd fell, and blood came out.

Liu Bei's eyes suddenly turned red, and he shouted: "Three family slaves, dare to hurt my general, take a leave and watch the axe." ”
