Chapter 841: Pound's Art of War
The pursuing Suli cavalry, slowly three units and into a one, the huge torrent iron cavalry closely pursued the Han coalition army, you chase me on the grassland, and ten thousand horses gallop.
The Suli cavalry, who pursued the four-wheeled carriage of the coalition camp, each bravely took the lead, and must kill the frustrating and helpless Han four-wheeled carriage in this pursuit.
The enemy's four-wheeled carriage escaped a hill, and the army pursued it directly.
But when the 10,000 cavalry rushed through the hill, a huge arc-shaped cavalry formation appeared in front of them.
The commander who led the team was shocked at the time: "It's not good, there is an ambush." ”
But it's too late, their cavalry has already run sex, if you want to restrain the war horse, it is absolutely impossible to do it, if you force the brake of the high-speed galloping war horse, then you don't need the enemy to go into battle to fight, you will collide with each other and suffer countless casualties.
The commander gritted his teeth and shouted at his brothers: "Charge, charge, gouge through the enemy's line—"
This is the wisest and most correct way to play, cut through the enemy's line, rush out, and flee directly back to your own team.
However, as his men and horses rushed to the opposing defense, he saw that the cavalry of the opposing side had crossbow arrows in their hands.
The invention of crossbow arrows, in the evolution of the entire history of war, has an absolutely subversive revolution, originally an archer needs three years of training, but with crossbow arrows, in fact, a child can kill an invincible warrior.
The appearance of crossbow arrows made it possible for the Han people to carry out long-range strikes on horses, and the riding and archery skills of the steppe people did not have a huge advantage in front of crossbow arrows.
What's more, now the cavalry of the Lu family army is using the steel arm crossbow built in the Savage Valley, and it is plagiarizing the Zhuge Repeater that Zhuge Liang just invented.
There was a roar of tightrope, and each time ten pure iron crossbow arrows were fired, 200,000 crossbow arrows immediately completely covered the enemy's cavalry, and after a round of blows, Pound brandished his broadsword and yelled at the 20,000 soldiers: "Kill-" took the lead and killed the few remaining remnants of the enemy.
Pang De's big knife is famous in the Three Kingdoms, this charge horse is fast and heavy, everywhere it passes is devastated, killing is hearty, and the soldiers behind him are riding the tall war horse of Hetao Xiliang, this kind of war horse is naturally much higher than the Mongolian war horse, covered with 200,000 crossbow arrows, the saber is sharp, the war horse is tall, and there are many people, Lu Peng has played the group beating to the fullest.
In just two quarters of an hour, the cavalry of this 10,000 Suli was completely annihilated.
Pound did not stop, directly drew an arc, and led his soldiers to rush through this hill that blocked the view of the battlefield, and rushed towards the Suli army that was chasing the allied cavalry with all its might.
The route of the coalition army's "escape" was carefully planned, and at first it seemed that it was to catch up with the retreating battalion carriage, but in front of this hill, it was a change of direction, forming a right angle with the retreating battalion, turning with Sully's pursuers, allowing Sully's pursuers to expose their flanks, and Pound's new force rushed out just smashed into Sully's soft underbelly. A charge, the 40,000 Suli army was cut off, smashed through the Xianbei cavalry formation, Pang De raised the broadsword into the air, the flag soldiers behind him immediately shook the banner, and the 20,000 cavalry immediately divided into two units and killed left and right.
The Xianbei cavalry, who were blinded by this sudden blow, were immediately killed by the Lu family army that separated the two divisions.
The 50,000 coalition troops that were still "retreating" in front turned over and fought back and attacked the more than 20,000 Xianbei cavalry that had been cut off.
50,000 coalition troops, plus 10,000 Lu family troops flanking the front and rear, how can Xianbei's 20,000 people who were suddenly beaten can parry? In the blink of an eye, it collapsed.
The other Xianbei cavalry that was cut off wanted to rescue, but was held back by the 10,000 cavalry led by Pang De at all costs, so that it became a situation of fighting more and less on the battlefield, and in the blink of an eye, the 20,000 Xianbei army surrounded in front of it completely collapsed and was annihilated.
Pang De raised the broadsword again, and the flag soldiers issued the flag again, and the coalition army that had just annihilated the enemy's 20,000 and the 10,000 cavalry of the Lu family's army, a total of 50,000 horses, pressed the remaining 20,000 Xianbei cavalry like a tide, and on the battlefield, an absolute overwhelming situation was once again formed with more fighting and less.
Su Li definitely did not expect that the enemy still had reinforcements, the enemy also gave himself an ambush, and the enemy who rushed out happened to smash in the soft underbelly of his flank in the pursuit, the army was immediately divided into two, the front section was surrounded by the enemy's absolute superior forces, and the rear section wanted to rescue, but was entangled by 10,000 enemies, and the front team had been annihilated, and countless enemies once again formed an absolute advantage to press their 20,000 men and horses.
In the face of such a situation, Su Li did not hesitate to blow the horn of retreat, and never dragged the remaining remnants of the army away.
In the face of the enemy's defeat and escape, Pang De once again issued a banner, tens of thousands of troops, with the Lu family army as the leading arrow, the coalition army as the mainstay, with the momentum of Mount Tai pressing the top, directly pursued down.
Su Li fled back to the camp, the enemy followed, he couldn't stand at all, so he had to make a quick decision, abandon the camp, pass through the camp, pull Yan Rou and flee directly to the depths of the grassland.
Pound took possession of the camp of Sully, and immediately ordered the army to stop the pursuit and let Sully go. The whole battle was only three hours, and it ended with the complete victory of the Lu family's army. Annihilated 40,000 enemies, captured countless mules and horse tents, captured countless cattle, sheep and horses that the Xianbei people could not carry, completely expelled Suli from the Jinghu area, and brought this huge and fertile grassland into the rule of the Youzhou group. The territory of the Han people in the Wuhuan grassland was pushed thousands of miles westward.
The whole battle was like flowing water, there was no hindrance at all, which made Lu Peng, Xu Jie and Zhao Yun, who were standing on a high place watching the battle, look intoxicated, they had never seen such a smooth battle commanded by the cavalry, nearly 100,000 troops under the command of Pang De, as flexible and smooth as commanding their own arms, this is not war, this is art.
"You are worthy of the famous general of Xiliang, and you are worthy of the famous general who grew up in the horseback war, you have to learn from the third brother of Pang De with an open mind." Lu Peng, whose heart was shaking, sighed and educated Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun felt more deeply about this war than Lu Peng: "In the face of the command of the third brother, I realized how naïve and ridiculous the tactical tactics I commanded the cavalry at the beginning, stupid and clumsy, my lord, I ask to hand over the post of marshal of the cavalry group, ask the third brother Pang De to take over, and be willing to be a pawn of the third brother." ”
Lu Peng clapped his hands: "As you wish, I am happy." ”
Then the group rushed down the hill on horseback and met Pound, who had returned victoriously.
