Chapter 995: Xu Chu retreated
With a cold snort, Xu Chu easily blocked the long knife, and was about to kill the foot soldier with a backhand, but two Mo knives came at the same time.
Xu Chu's eyes tightened, just now he had seen the power of this so-called Mo Sword Army, if they let the long knife in their hands come into contact with the war horse, it would definitely be the end of death.
Xu Chu's martial arts are so good, but seeing the long knife in his hand swinging hard, the sound of clanging came, but it blocked the attack of the other two, and the long knife flipped and killed the three besieging Modao soldiers on the spot.
Xu Chu was reckless on the battlefield, but there were Mo Dao soldiers in the rear who rushed up fearlessly, and the dark Mo Dao in their hands gave people an invisible pressure.
After killing several Mo Dao soldiers one after another, Xu Chu was moved, it was difficult for him to imagine how these foot soldiers were trained, it was difficult for ordinary blades to be effective on their armor, and the effect of arrows was minimized, and the cavalry had the most damage to the foot soldiers, but it was necessary to beware of the strange blades in the hands of these foot soldiers, and this battle gave people a feeling of aggrieved.
In the face of such strangely equipped troops, their own cavalry suffered serious losses, especially the Jiangdong cavalry and the Jizhou cavalry.
After thinking for a while, Xu Chu gave the order to retreat, fighting with such a team, if the losses are too heavy, it is not conducive to the next action, and even if the enemy army in front of him is defeated, with the cavalry in his hand, it is difficult to break through Jinyang, once the enemy army is completely entangled, it will be dangerous, the Marquis of Jin is a vital existence under Lu Bu's rule, even if most of the Bingzhou army is gathered in Huguan, there must be no small number of troops left in the city.
Xu Chu wanted to retreat, but the cavalry of the state army was chasing and fighting, and he was originally skeptical about the Mo Dao Army and the cavalry, even though the blade armor of the Mo Dao Army looked very powerful.
Looking at the retreating enemy cavalry, bursts of cheers broke out in the city, they were cheering for the Modao Army, although the battle was short, the Modao Army won the victory on the battlefield with its strong strength.
After cleaning the battlefield, it was already evening.
At the head of the city, Gu Yong breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there was the Mo Dao Army, the cavalry of these princes would have more chances of winning, and he didn't expect the Mo Dao Army to have such great power.
"General Mi, now that our army has won a complete victory, the enemy still has a large number of cavalry, once these cavalry wreak havoc in Bingzhou, the damage caused to Bingzhou will definitely be huge." Gu Yongdao.
Mi Fang, who had just achieved the joy of victory, was also in a heavy mood, the Modao Army had a great advantage against the cavalry, but it was weak in speed, as long as the cavalry of the princes kept wandering, it was very difficult to catch up with these cavalry and defeat them, this time Xu Chu didn't know the strength of the Modao Army, and it would not be so easy next time.
"This cavalry can't be allowed to run rampant in Bingzhou, if the Modao Army is equipped with war horses, what does General Mi think?" Gu Yongdao.
Mi Fang clenched her fists and said, "Everything is subject to the orders of the adults." ”
The battle with the Modao Army failed, so that Gao Xiang and Huang Gai, who came with him, were a little heavy, originally thought that it would be difficult to meet the opponent after entering the state, but he didn't expect that just after arriving in Jinyang, there would be such a painful lesson, and the loss of more than 100 cavalry was not a small loss for a cavalry team of nearly 3,000 people.
Cavalry has a high status in the princes' army, but all those who can become cavalry are carefully selected and trained from the foot soldiers, unlike Lu Bu's wealth, the princes usually do not care about these cavalry.
"General Xu, I don't want Jinyang to have such a powerful army, if the Bingzhou army is in hot pursuit, it will be troublesome." Huang Gai Road.
Xu Chu laughed and said: "General Huang is a little worried to avoid being a little worried, even if it is the Mo Dao Army in Jinyang, it is just some foot soldiers, just like the first dead soldiers of the Jizhou Army, as long as the cavalry wants to go, it will be very difficult for them to catch up." ”
Gao Xiang nodded approvingly, "General Xu, there is not much dry food left in the army today." ”
"This matter is simple, the surroundings of Jinyang are extremely prosperous, and it is not very simple for the cavalry to get dry food." Xu Chu said that Liujiazhuang's wealth is also extremely rare in the Central Plains.
Huguan, after receiving the news from Bingzhou, Lu Bu's brows furrowed, the cavalry of the princes appeared in Bingzhou at this time, it is definitely not good news, Jinyang City is strong, it does not mean that the rest of the cities are the same, and the target of the princes' cavalry is the villages around Jinyang.
The fact that the Mo Dao Army was able to grow up at such a fast speed made Lu Bu happy.
"Wenhe, now that the cavalry of the princes has appeared around Jinyang, if this goes on for a long time, I am afraid that there will be turmoil in the vicinity of Jinyang." Lu Bu set his eyes on Jia Xudao.
Jia Xu said: "Lord, it is imperative to defeat this cavalry, and the cavalry sent by the princes to Bingzhou must be extremely elite, and there are only more than 2,000 cavalry in Huguan at this time. ”
"Summons Xu Huang to come." Lu Budao said that no matter how critical the situation in Huguan is, there is absolutely no room for a situation in the rear.
After retreating from Hanoi, Xu Huang held his breath in his heart, and kept thinking about how to teach the princes a lesson.
"Gongming, the princes have sent nearly 3,000 cavalry to the vicinity of Jinyang, this marquis has given you 1,000 flying cavalry, can you be confident that this cavalry will be defeated?"
"The final general will definitely complete the task." Xu Huang hugged his fists, he knew the combat effectiveness of the flying horses, even if the enemy army had three thousand people, she also had enough confidence to defeat it with a thousand flying horses.
"Okay, after going back, immediately gather the cavalry and go to Jinyang as fast as possible, and then the Modao army in Jinyang City will obey Gongming's orders, and what Ben Hou wants is that this cavalry will completely disappear in Bingzhou." Lu Bu ordered.
"Whoa." Xu Huang hugged his fists, although he didn't know the Modao Army, but with thousands of flying horses, Xu Huang had enough confidence to defeat the enemy.
Perhaps it was because of the realization that too many corpses piled up outside Huguan would cause a plague, and the princes' coalition army rarely stopped for a day, and for the princes' coalition army to clean up the corpses of the robe outside Huguan, the defenders of Huguan did not stop it, the battlefield was ruthless, and no one wanted to die and not be able to rest in peace.
Cleaning up the battlefield is definitely a very hard thing for the coalition soldiers, and the stench emitted from the corpses alone is not something that ordinary people can bear.
The atmosphere in the alliance of the princes is also a little solemn, for more than a month, the casualties have reached 20,000 soldiers, and the average loss of soldiers and horses on all sides will reach 7,000, and Huguan is still so tenacious, this kind of war can no longer be described as only tragic.
