Chapter Seventy-Two: The Road Meets the Wuhuan Cavalry

In Liaoxi, Youzhou, an army of thousands of people escorted a batch of grain, grass and caravans to move forward slowly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Since leaving Jixian County, this army has converged all the way to the Zhen family and Mi family caravan in Xiangping, Liaodong, and the team has become larger and larger, causing Gao Shun to frown all the way.

Although there were nearly 5,000 troops, most of the 4,000 Danyang soldiers he led had not seen blood, and in case of an attack, Gao Shun had no bottom in his heart. He vaguely remembered that the lord had said to himself that a soldier who did not want to be a general was not a good soldier, and an army that had not experienced the baptism of blood could not be considered a complete army.

"Report, a large number of cavalry has been found ahead!" A scout turned over and dismounted to report this, and the voice pulled Gao Shun out of his thoughts, and his face immediately became solemn.

"Order, the caravan carriage is concentrated in the center, and the whole army is armed!" Just a momentary hesitation, Gao Shun immediately ordered.

The "No" herald responded to the promise.

"Yuan Jian, can you take your cavalry out to check!" Watching the herald leave, Gao Shun turned his head and said to Liao Huayan.

Liao Hua had been here first, only he was familiar with the enemy's situation, and Gao Shun's consideration was not unreasonable. After agreeing to the promise, Liao Hua immediately led 300 flying feather cavalry to gallop away, and the remaining 700 infantry were handed over to Gao Shun for unified command.

Although the four thousand Danyang soldiers had not experienced battle, they had already been reborn under Gao Shun's strict training. At this moment, in accordance with Gao Shun's order, the infantry is strictly armed, and the infantry can only defend against the cavalry in the field, and it is bound to be a dead end when attacking.

When it was young, the formation of 4,000 soldiers and horses was completed, and part of the caravan carriages were used for peripheral defense, and all the idle people were protected in the center of the large array. These Danyang soldiers were extremely nervous, no one expected that their first battle would come so quickly, they all knew that only by maintaining their formation could they survive in battle, and the scattered infantry was an appetizer for the cavalry.

Gao Shun immediately looked into the center of the big array, looked into the distance, and after a while, Liao Hua and others who had returned appeared in his sight.

"Report, there are more than 1,000 Wuhuan cavalry in front, Liao Sima fought and retreated, and ordered me to return to report first." A flying feather cavalryman covered in blood rode his horse and shouted.

Hearing the report, there was a commotion. In terms of numbers, their own side has an absolute advantage, but the infantry cannot guarantee victory against the cavalry, and there is a danger of total annihilation if one is not careful. Gao Shun looked around, and sighed in his heart: "Hey, in the end, it is still a group of recruits who have not been in battle, and the word rookie with the lord is probably the most suitable."

"All the soldiers listened to the order, and those who left the battle formation without permission were beheaded. Swords and shields are in front, spearmen are armed, and archers are ready. With Gao Shun's order, the Danyang soldiers habitually began to stand, this is the benefit of elite soldiers, although the training period, but the discipline is still very strong.

The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and the white feathers of the flying feathers were particularly conspicuous. Although outnumbered, the combat power of the Flying Feather Cavalry still made the Wuheng cavalry have a long memory.

Looking at the cavalry covered in blood in front of him, Gao Shun shouted loudly: "Yuan Jian, go around the car formation, and the driver will fight again." ”

Liao Hua didn't reply, with a wave of his big knife, he ordered Feiyu to ride around the driving formation, and his heart was dripping blood at this moment. In the situation of 300 to 1,000, the Flying Feather Cavalry lost more than 170 people, and the rest were all wounded, including himself. But the Wuhuan cavalry was no better, losing more than 100 people.

The Wuhuan people didn't take the oncoming Han cavalry seriously, who knew that as soon as they fought, these cavalry were not afraid of death, it was completely you cut me and I cut you, and in the case of the advantage in numbers, they were actually broken out by the opponent. No, the dizzy commander led the army in hot pursuit, and he was about to catch up, but there was another Han army infantry formation.

At this moment, the angry Qianfu Chang was full of thoughts about how to drive out these Han cavalry, and after the car formation appeared, a large number of supplies made him even more dizzy. actually ordered the remaining cavalry to attack the car formation head-on, but it ushered in a rain of arrows, and more than 100 Wuheng rode down and charged again.

Immediately after that, a second erroneous order was issued, ordering the Wuhuan cavalry to stop attacking and immediately retreat. Once the cavalry charged, it was not said that it could be stopped, and in an instant, the entire Wuhuan cavalry charge formation was in chaos. Liao Hua, who originally planned to rest for a while and fight again, seized this opportunity to lead the Flying Feather Cavalry back again.

The chaotic Wuhuan cavalry formation was made even more chaotic by the impact of Liaohua, and when Gao Shun saw this, he immediately ordered the whole army to assault. With the addition of foot soldiers, the Han army gradually gained the upper hand, and if the Wuhuan people retreated at this moment, they could retreat out, but the red-eyed Wuhuan Tucai did not get the order at all.

The melee between the two sides continued, and the attrition in the battle gradually increased, if Huo Yu was to kill the fierce general again, he would directly take the head of the enemy general. Liao Hua saw that the remaining flying feather riders were getting fewer and fewer, his eyes were red, and he fought hard to kill the commander of Wuhuan Qianfu, how could his martial arts not be as fierce as Zhang Fei, and he couldn't rush in at all.

Gao Shun saw clearly in the rear formation, and knew that this was a good time to take the enemy chieftain directly, but he was not a charging general, and there was nothing he could do about it when he saw the increase in casualties.

At this moment, suddenly a man and a horse entered the Wuhuan formation from the flank of the chaotic army, and there was no enemy everywhere he passed. This man's target is none other than Commander Wuheng.

Liao Hua felt that his strength was gradually decreasing, and there were only more than fifty horsemen left, these were all veterans who broke the yellow scarf all the way, and they were almost lost here today. Suddenly, he found that a man and a horse rushed towards the Wuhuan commander, and every time he shot, a Wuhuan cavalryman fell from his horse, this marksmanship was so familiar.

"My lord?" Liao Hua blurted out without subconsciously blurting out his brain.

When the surrounding Feiyu riders heard Liao Hua's voice, they all thought that Huo Yu was here, and their morale suddenly skyrocketed, and they all swung their swords to kill the enemy. And the Danyang soldiers saw more than fifty horsemen slashing and killing, how dare they fall behind, they still know more or less about Huo Yu's prestige, so the morale of the Han army on the entire battlefield increased dramatically because of Liao Hua's subconscious words.

Commander Wuhuan looked at the young man who was getting closer and closer in front of him, and was shocked, and he sent three groups of men and horses to stop him. How could the warriors of Wuhuan lose to a Han boy, and if he said it, he would not be laughed off by the clansmen? So, his third wrong choice appeared, swinging his sword to meet the enemy.

Seeing that the two were getting closer and closer, the commander struck hard, he thought that it was his best state to make a knife, and looked at the young man opposite with a cruel smile, looking forward to the moment when he fell from his horse. However, everything backfired, and at the very moment when he swung his sword, a silver spear pierced his throat, and the commander fell from his horse with an incredulous eye.

Seeing that the commander of the thousand was dead, the guards killed the young man, and in just a few breaths, there were no Wuhuan people sitting on horses around the young man. Liao Hua's eyes never left the person who rushed into battle for a moment, and when he saw the commander fall from his horse, he immediately shouted: "The enemy general is dead, brothers, kill them!" ”
