Chapter 280: An Unexpected Ambush
Bian Zhang and Han Sui retreated far away, counted the number of people, and almost dripped blood in distress.
In just one short charge, they actually lost more than 6,000 cavalry.
Originally, they had more than 40,000 cavalry, but now there are more than 30,000 left.
On the other hand, Lu Bu's infantry corps, the losses were almost negligible.
It is a great shame that the cavalry fought like this against the infantry!
Bian Zhang and Han Sui were full of unwillingness.
But against the new battle formation set up by Lu Bu's infantry, they were helpless and helpless.
It was only at this time that they truly understood the horror of Lu Bu.
However, even at this time, Bian Zhang and Han Sui had no intention of retiring from the army.
Because they had already contacted Ma Teng, Ma Teng's soldiers and horses would soon be able to come over.
If they withdraw, then Ma Teng's cavalry will be arranged in vain.
Lu Bu's infantry legion is extremely terrifying, but the infantry legion also has his congenital shortcomings.
That is, poor mobility, no matter how awesome your infantry phalanx is, as soon as my cavalry leaves, you will only have to eat ashes in the back.
Therefore, Bian Zhang and Han Sui prepared to stay on the field and look for the weakness of Lu Bu's infantry phalanx.
They firmly believe that there is no invincible phalanx.
Any phalanx has its weaknesses and covers.
As long as you can find the weaknesses and cover doors of the phalanx, you can perfectly restrain them.
Bian Zhang and Han Sui led the cavalry, constantly harassing the infantry phalanx, cautiously probing.
As long as you can find the weakness of the infantry phalanx, you can deliver a fatal blow to the infantry phalanx.
This is where the pain of too few cavalry comes in.
If Lu Bu was given 10,000 cavalry, Bian Zhang and Han Sui would not dare to be so arrogant at all.
Lu Bu could use 5,000 cavalry on both sides to attack Bian Zhang and Han Sui's cavalry, and in the middle was the invincible legion, which could be slowly pressed in.
Bian Zhang and Han Sui only had to fight to the death or escape.
That can be a provocative and tentative attack as it is now.
The Shenji Battalion led by Zhao Zilong only had 3,000 people after all, which was too small.
They could only bite the tail of their cavalry in pursuit, and they didn't dare to bite too tightly.
If you fall into their encirclement, you will lose a lot.
Of course, now Lu Bu has another way, that is, to use his three hundred God of War battalion and Zhao Zilong's three thousand God Battalion to flank their cavalry.
Lu Bu believed that the 300 God of War Battalion would definitely bring heavy casualties to Bian Zhang and Han Sui's cavalry.
But Lu Bu was still hesitating, and he didn't dare to press all the soldiers of the God of War Battalion for a while.
Because Bian Zhang and Han Sui behaved very wrong today, Lu Bu had a bad premonition.
Over there, Beigong Boyu and Dong Zhuo were still fighting fiercely.
Bian Zhang and Han Sui on this side can be said to have suffered heavy casualties, and Bian Zhang and Han Sui have no way to deal with their invincible phalanx.
But these two people just don't retreat, which is simply too strange.
Because even in a tentative attack, Bian Zhang and Han Sui suffered more casualties than the invincible phalanx.
Could it be that these two people are sick in the brain? Sincerely send your soldiers to death?
……
The next moment, on the hill beside Dong Zhuo, a black cavalry suddenly appeared.
Looking at the number, there are nearly tens of thousands.
These cavalrymen condescended from the hill and launched a fierce attack on Dong Zhuo's army.
The nearly 10,000 cavalry that suddenly appeared surprised Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu.
You must know that the reason why the two agreed to Dong Zhuo's request for a decisive battle was because they had already discovered that Beigong Boyu and Bian Zhang Han Sui did not suddenly reduce their army.
In other words, they didn't have an ambush at all.
And before the war, Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo conducted a detailed investigation within thirty miles of the surrounding area, and once again confirmed that they were not ambushed.
Otherwise, Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu would never rashly agree to a decisive battle with them.
But where did these nearly 10,000 cavalry come out of now?
Is it Beigong Boyu and their secret crossing of Chen Cang, the army that hides unknowingly?
Or foreign aid?
In any case, with these nearly 10,000 cavalry, it is an extremely unfavorable thing for Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu's allied army.
Lu Bu made a decision immediately and immediately issued an order to retreat.
Because Lu Bu knew that in the face of this situation, Dong Zhuo would definitely not take care of his own federation, and he would definitely not carry it to death.
As soon as Dong Zhuo withdraws his troops, these nearly 10,000 cavalry, plus Beigong Boyu's 30,000 cavalry, will definitely suffer heavy casualties on his own side.
Sure enough, at the same time that Lu Bu gave the order to retreat - well, maybe it would be a little bit in the morning, Dong Zhuo also gave the order to withdraw the troops.
And decisively took the way of gecko tail cutting, simply and neatly, without dragging mud and water.
After leaving 5,000 cavalry behind, Dong Zhuo took the lead and quickly withdrew from the battlefield.
……
Lü Bu's two infantry corps, covering each other, quickly retreated.
Zhao Zilong's God of War battalion tried its best to pull the opponent's cavalry.
In the face of such a good situation, Bian Zhang and Han Sui certainly will not miss it.
Bian Zhang's 20,000 cavalry fiercely attacked Zhao Zilong's Shenji Battalion, although the combat power of the Shenji Battalion was terrifying, but the number of people was too disparity.
Zhao Zilong could only do his best with Bian Zhang, and try his best to hold back Bian Zhang's 20,000 cavalry.
And Han Sui's 20,000 cavalry, the Shenji Battalion has no choice at all.
As long as Han Sui's 20,000 cavalry bit the two infantry legions to the death, they would not be able to evacuate the battlefield in time.
Then wait until Beigong Boyu's 30,000 cavalry, plus nearly 10,000 cavalry suddenly come out to form a siege, then today's Lu Bu's army is really fierce and unlucky, and there is a danger of being completely annihilated.
At the critical moment, Lü Bu gave some orders to Gao Shun and ordered the two infantry corps to speed up the pace of retreat.
And Lu Bu led three hundred soldiers of the God of War Battalion to kill nearly 20,000 cavalry of Han Sui!
"God of War Battalion! Invincible, invincible! ”
"God of War Battalion! Conquer it all! Invincible! ”
Under the leadership of Lu Bu, the three hundred soldiers of the God of War Battalion were murderous, and they rushed towards the 20,000 cavalry without fear of death.
The figure of the three hundred soldiers of the God of War Battalion looks so tragic.
It seems that they are going to pay for their own lives to cover for the withdrawal of large forces!
It's just that no one thinks so about the three hundred soldiers of the God of War Battalion.
They're here to kill!
The distance between the two sides was already very close, and coupled with the cavalry charge of both sides, it soon entered a distance of fifty paces.
The distance of fifty paces is simply too short, and the dash of the cavalry, that is, a matter of a moment or two.
At such a short distance, you can shoot a round of bows and arrows at most, but the next moment I am afraid that you will have to fight in a short manner.
Then, maybe your bow and arrow have just been put down, and your weapon has been killed before you have time to raise it.
The cavalry on Han Sui's side did not shoot with bows and arrows.
But the three hundred God of War battalions all raised their bows and crossbows in their hands.
