Chapter 667: Crossbowmen vs. Cavalry
The three of them cast curious glances, and they could be said so solemnly by Xu Yu, they wanted to see what it was, and it could also give people the confidence to win.
"This thing is called the stirrup, it was created by the Marquis of Jin, if you put this thing on the war horse, the cavalry can control the war horse more easily on the war horse, the flying horse of the Marquis of Jin, the reason why it can win many battles is also because of this thing, by chance it was found by the Marquis of Ye, and you should be equipped to the war horse as soon as possible after you go back." Xu Youdao said that in order to be able to block Lu Bu's cavalry, he was also hard enough, but he only informed the three of them about the stirrups.
The three of them were overjoyed when they heard this, and they all said that they would definitely send elite soldiers to defeat Lu Bu, stirrups are probably not a secret to the current princes, but Yan Rou, Bang Dun and Gongsun Kang do not know, they still train cavalry in the past.
Thinking of the role of the stirrup, Bun Dun was excited, the Wuhuan people were already good at riding and shooting, after having the stirrup, even in the face of flying horses, they also had the belief that they would win, and the fear of the Marquis of Jin in their hearts seemed to have dissipated a lot.
The next day, the East City Gate slowly opened under the suspicious gaze of the coalition army, which was also the first time that the defenders went out of the city to meet the battle since the army attacked Youbeiping.
At this time, the camp of the coalition army is also hot, the stirrup is the powerful thing of the cavalry under Lu Bu, if it can be equipped to the cavalry, the combat effectiveness is not earth-shaking, the craftsmen who came with the army kept building stirrups day and night, and even the eyes of Gongsun Kang and the three people looking at Xu You were also a lot kinder, especially after the cavalry was equipped with stirrups.
Chen Zhi led two thousand soldiers, stepping on a neat pace, lined up in the east of the city, the defenders of the city also heard about the achievements of the soldiers under Chen Zhi last night, and looked at the army outside the city with a trace of burning, the same army, how could they not want to become elite soldiers, after entering the army, they accepted the concept of the state army, which was also last night at such a critical moment, the defenders at the city gate were still able to hold on, there were escapers, but there were very few.
The banner of the word "You" and the banner of the word "Chen" hunted and hunted under the blowing of the breeze, and the two thousand soldiers also straightened their chests, and the two successive victories made them confident, and there was no longer any hesitation in dealing with Chen Zhi's orders, and the war made them worship Chen Zhi even more.
Xu You frowned slightly when he heard the news that the defenders were going out of the city to provoke, especially since the generals of this army were still Chen Dao who came from Jixian County.
"There is no one in the eyes of the Youzhou army, and they only sent two thousand soldiers to dare to go out of the city to provoke, do they think that the warriors of Wuhuan are muddy." Badun said angrily.
When Yan Rou and Gongsun Kang saw this scene, they were silent, and they were angry, they were happy to see it, and it was best if Bandun could send a large army to meet him after he was angry.
Seeing this, Su Fuyan hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The defenders went out of the city to provoke, it is a good opportunity to deter the defenders in one fell swoop, and you will not send a large army to meet the battle." ”
Xu You saw Yan Rou and Gongsun Kang, who had their own thoughts, and coughed lightly: "In a certain opinion, this move of the Youzhou Army is just to frustrate the spirit of our army. ”
Gongsun Kang's face continued to change, and he stepped forward and said: "There are still a thousand cavalry in the Liaodong Army, and they are willing to take on this heavy responsibility. ”
After the failure of the raid last night, Xu You also found him, and vaguely revealed Yuan Shao's meaning, but the premise of all this is to be able to break through Youbeiping, Gongsun Kang also understands that if he doesn't contribute at this time, even if Yuan Shao speaks from it, it will be difficult for him to get more benefits, and he also has some understanding of the habits of the Wuhuan people, these people have an absolute fear of the strong.
"Hmph, why do you need the Liaodong Army to go out, the cavalry under the command of this king can also defeat the defenders." Not to be outdone, he said.
"If General Gongsun sends cavalry to fight, how about King Wuhuan send cavalry to suppress the formation?" Xu Youdao.
Seeing the enemy battalion rushing out of two thousand cavalry, Chen Zhi's face changed slightly, and he secretly sighed in his heart that the enemy army was so shameless, in the face of two thousand foot soldiers, he actually sent two thousand cavalry, and when he saw that one of the thousand cavalry was only responsible for pressing the formation, Chen Zhi showed a smile on his face, if he dealt with a thousand cavalry, Chen Zhi was still confident, and he also wanted to try how much the gap between the crossbowmen and the cavalry under his command was.
"Brothers, the enemy must have been frightened, and even sent two thousand cavalry to meet the battle, telling these cavalrymen what elite men are." Chen Zhi shouted.
Originally, there were still some nervous soldiers, after hearing Chen Zhi's words, they were also a lot more relaxed, since the gallop to the right Beiping, they have faced the cavalry twice, and they also have a certain experience, only need to use the crossbow arrows in their hands, so that the cavalry can not get close to their own camp, the horse that falls in front will form an obstacle to the cavalry behind, making it difficult for the cavalry in the rear to come forward, and it will not be the world of crossbowmen at that time.
Tian Yu at the head of the city saw the situation outside the city, and hurriedly ordered Hu Chuquan to prepare cavalry, once the situation outside the city was not good, he immediately rushed to help, this battle was to improve the morale of the army, even if the enemy sent two thousand cavalry, if defeated, the morale of the defenders will definitely become low.
After the enemy raid last night, Chen Zhi seemed to have become the sustenance of the officers and men in the army.
The rumbling drums of war suddenly sounded, and the low and exhilarating drums beat the hearts of every soldier, and they slowly moved forward under the orders of their generals, towards their own elite road.
Thousands of Liaodong cavalry under the leadership of Gongsun Yu, towards Chen to the department launched a charge, last night's battle made Gongsun Yu feel very depressed, not only did not break through the Taishou Mansion, but was chased by the defenders, if there is not a secret road leading to the outside of the city, I am afraid he will be lost in the city, even so it took more than 300 people to get out, Gongsun Yu is best at fighting on horseback, today he will use the knife in his hand to tell the Youzhou army in the city, Liaodong athletes are invincible.
These thousand cavalrymen, obviously with extremely rich battlefield experience, scattered in all directions when there were still two arrows away from Chen Zhi's headquarters, so that when facing the enemy's arrows, they would not block the cavalry in the rear because of the fall of the cavalry in front, and the cavalry formation was more sparse, and it was more conducive to the attack of the cavalry.
"Change formation!" Chen Zhi shouted.
As soon as the words fell, the two thousand soldiers suddenly moved in an orderly manner, and the one thousand people in the middle did not make any movement, but aimed the crossbow arrows in their hands at the charging cavalry, and the soldiers on both sides and in the rear pointed the crossbow arrows at the place where the enemy cavalry might appear.
