Chapter 273: The Charge of 100,000 Cavalry

"Father-in-law! The army of Levi was very cunning, and our army pursued their cavalry, but did not want them to set up their army in advance, led us into the range of their arrows, and repelled us with bows and arrows. Lu Bu came to Dong Zhuo's front and explained the reason why he had withdrawn.

"How many military horses has Liu Yi opened from Tongguan now?" Dong Zhuo asked unhappily. He thought that you Lu Bu was not quite heroic, wasn't he? Why are you afraid of Lewi's bow? There are also 30,000 troops and horses in your headquarters, and the 30,000 cavalry still dare not charge against the Liu Yi army array? It's just that he thinks that now in front of the army, he can't question Lu Bu so directly.

In fact, cavalry does have a natural advantage over infantry. Even if Liu Yi is impeccable now, if Dong Zhuojun can adopt a correct battle plan, he may not be defeated by Dong Zhuojun.

The cavalry is fast, coming and going like the wind, at this time, Dong Zhuo can make an army and Liu Yi's army confront, and other armies can detour around Liu Yi's army formation. When Liu Yi's army array advanced, attack and kill Liu Yi's army from the flank, and do not attack head-on, which will greatly reduce the power of Liu Yi's army formation, and may even be defeated by Dong Zhuo.

You must know that Leo Yi is now the pikemen in front, the archers in the back, and the last one is the sword and shield soldier who is responsible for protecting the archers. If Dong Zhuojun can take advantage of the speed of the horse, before Liu Yi has time to change the formation, he will lead the army to enter from behind the formation in a roundabout way, which will definitely make Liu Yijun's formation scattered.

Or, you can order Lu Bu and other generals to lead an elite cavalry to directly kill the army formation of Liu Yi's army, as long as they can break through the archer army formation, and at the same time, the army will attack Liu Yi's army in all directions, so that Liu Yi's army will undoubtedly be defeated, because of the 30,000 soldiers who are trapped in the camp. It may not be able to cope with so many cavalry, counting the soldiers of the camp can cope with the cavalry, and there is no way to protect so many archers, as for the sword, shield, swordsman, etc. Those will not be the enemies of cavalry.

Therefore, Liu Yi may not be able to win steadily.

Dong Zhuo is very aware of the advantages of his cavalry, so he will have the courage to fight a decisive battle with Liu Yi.

If Liu Yi's army horses hadn't been sent too many, with Lu Bu's 30,000 cavalry, he wouldn't have withdrawn in such a hurry.

"Father-in-law, Liu Yi's army is still coming out of Tongguan, but. There were already tens of thousands of them in front of the formation, and they are now advancing towards us. Lu Bu reported truthfully: "However, they formed a large array of spears, and behind the formation were countless archers, and we couldn't rush through." ”

"Oh?" Dong Zhuo left and right the generals behind him, and said in a deep voice: "It's just pikemen and archers who dare to charge us?" Isn't he afraid that our cavalry will rush into their archers and slaughter them? Haha, it's good to come, pass the order. Prepare to charge, Bong, you order your sergeant to reorganize the charge formation next to you. Don't mess up the formation of the Chinese army. ”

"Yes!" Lu Bu received the order and waved his hand to let the cavalry who had returned to retreat to the flanks of Dong Zhuo's army.

Lu Bu's 30,000 cavalry was trained by Zhang Liao with one hand and one foot, and the military discipline was quite good, although it was withdrawn, there was no such thing as Liu Yi expected to disrupt Dong Zhuo's army camp.

The two armies were opposite, about four miles from each other, the cavalry horses were fast, and they withdrew in the blink of an eye, and now, Liu Yi's army had only advanced half the distance. There is still a little time for Lu Bujun to form a formation.

"Lord, Ley's archers are very powerful, they attack in groups, and the rain of arrows covers it, and our sergeants will suffer great casualties, their bows. They are all better than ours, and the range is farther, and it is not appropriate for our army to charge directly through it. Guo Yan had seen the strength of the archers under Liu Yi, and he said with a little trepidation.

"Nonsense! Who are we Dong Zhuo afraid of? In the past, we didn't want to fight a decisive battle with the princes of the world, because we didn't want to sacrifice the lives of our soldiers in vain and preserve our strength, because the princes of the world were not in harmony, as long as we left Luoyang, they would attack each other and consume each other's strength, and at that time, we could eradicate them one by one without much effort. However, he didn't want to kill a Liu Yi in the air, this person actually had such a means, dug up in this short period of time, and dared to attack us, tired us and lost a large number of sergeants. Now, it's not time for us to retreat anymore, now that Lewi's army is about to kill us, if we don't attack them, will we have to flee from the battle? Dong Zhuo glanced back at Guo Yan and said with a dark face.

If it weren't for the ineffective generals of Li Ru, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji and others, who lost Hongnong County, how could they be pressed by Liu Yi's army now?

Therefore, Dong Zhuozhi is now dissatisfied with the generals who guard Hongnong County.

"Liu Yi came just in time, sons, now is the time for Liu Yi to see how powerful our Xiliang Iron Riding is great." Dong Zhuo didn't say anything more with everyone, looked around behind him, his army had basically formed a camp, slashed his sword, raised it high and shouted: "The whole army listens to the order, who can kill Liu Yi, seal the marquis of ten thousand households, kill!" ”

Knock knock!

The sound of war drums sounded majestically, and Dong Zhuo's army, with the rumbling sound of war drums, began to surge forward.

"Kill! Kill Lewy! ”

"Rush!"

With a bang, Dong Zhuo's 100,000 cavalry moved together, and the moment the war horses rushed out, it was as if the earth had been shaken, and the rumbling tide pressed towards Liu Yi's army.

Dong Zhuo's generals, this time it is really a hundred generals.

led the cavalry to charge, including Hua Xiong and Xu Rong, who had recovered from their injuries. There are Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Li Su, etc., all the generals under Dong Zhuo who can be named are already there.

This battle, compared to Dong Zhuolai, is indeed a decisive battle. If this battle is won, they can take back Tongguan and then regain Hangu Pass, so that they can always sit back and relax in Chang'an, and no longer have to worry that Liu Yi will threaten their safety.

Dong Zhuo's generals also knew very well at this moment that it was indeed time for them to fight. If they can't defeat Liu Yi now, then, when Liu Yi transfers the army again, they will definitely not be able to protect Chang'an, and they will inevitably be destroyed by Liu Yi.

Although the decisive battle came a little hastily, since Dong Zhuo and below, every general is very resolute.

Tens of thousands of cavalry charged at the same time to Liu Yi's army, and its momentum was indeed terrifying, and the momentum was huge, as if a mountain was pressing over, making people feel that it was difficult to match.

Faced with a powerful cavalry onslaught. If it is an ordinary sergeant, he will definitely be frightened at this moment, and he will be timid before the battle, and his courage will be lost.

But. Liu Yi's sergeants, all of whom had been tested by blood and fire, did not flinch because of the momentum of the cavalry charge, and did not have the slightest timidity, they all had firm eyes and advanced step by step towards the rushing cavalry.

When Dong Zhuo's army launched an attack, the two armies were separated. It's just more than two miles away, and it's also a distance of more than a thousand steps.

A little more than a kilometer, at the speed of cavalry, is nothing more than three minutes or more.

Liu Yi held the dragon spear with both hands, and his eyes were staring at the front tightly.

I saw that a black line in front of me was rapidly dilated in the pupils, getting closer and closer.

This black line stretched out in both directions. Stretching for several miles, it seems that you can't see both sides at a glance.

The camp formed by Liu Yijun is naturally very close. Therefore, it is many people less than Dong Zhuo's army. The entire battlefield seemed to be surrounded by Dong Zhuo's army.

However, Liu Yi was also not afraid, glanced left and right, and said to Yuan Qing and Huang Wudie: "This battle is a decisive battle of the army, not a personal martial arts. There is no need to rush out of the battle to engage their generals, Dong Zhuojun's elite is exhausted, and he can take this opportunity to give them a heavy blow. Pass the order down. The whole army stopped advancing, put up their spears, and the archers prepared! ”

Huang Xu was beside him, waving the order flag, and at the same time, a mournful horn sounded.

Whew!

The army stood still, and then the sound of long spears was neatly raised.

Meantime. The archers behind the pikemen also pulled their bowstrings at the same time.

Two miles, one mile, three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred steps......

The two armies quickly closed the distance, and each could make out each other's slightly distorted faces as they roared, and they could make out each other's eyebrows.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Huang Xu's order flag fell heavily and roared wildly.

Boom Boom Boom ......

Whining......

The sound of whizzing arrows breaking through the air was so numerous that it formed a roar like that of a raging wind.

On the ground, it was the black Dong Zhuo cavalry galloping quickly, and the sky was a bow like a dark cloud.

Call!

Puff puff!

The raindrop-like cluster of arrows, like the shutdown of the later generations, the porphyries fell from the sky, with a sharp fall, and fell more than a hundred steps or so in front of them.

It just so happened that the charging cavalry happened to rush into the rain of arrows.

Ahhh

Sergeant Dong Zhuo, who was galloping and charging, it was as if they had suddenly hit an invisible wall, and suddenly fell off their horses in pieces, and with a terrible scream, it seemed to play a death song in an instant, and it was continuous.

The cavalry in front fell to the ground, and the cavalry behind crushed the fallen horses or sergeants from the bodies of the fallen horses, and in the blink of an eye, the fallen horses and sergeants were trampled into pulp, and the successive charges continued.

No one cares about the sergeants who fell to the ground and died miserably, at this moment, they can only charge forward desperately, hoping to kill Liu Yi's army as much as possible, and only by killing Liu Yi's army as quickly as possible, they can avoid the threat of sharp arrows.

Whoosh ......

Dong Zhuo's soldiers, who were galloping, also launched a volley at Liu Yi's army formation under the orders of their generals. In the blink of an eye, in the air of the two armies, separated by a hundred paces, countless bows and arrows were flying at each other.

Sergeant Dong Zhuo, after shooting an arrow, then narrowed the distance between the two armies to a few dozen steps, at this time, the mounted Sergeant Dong Zhuo, all under the order of the general, threw away the longbow, sacrificed the weapon, and waved it wildly to kill.

Dong Zhuo's cavalry was too much, so although the dense bows and arrows caused a lot of damage to Dong Zhuo's army, they still couldn't stop Dong Zhuo's cavalry from continuing to charge.

However, when Dong Zhuo's army was still dozens of paces away, rows of throwing guns flew out of Liu Yi's army's formation, and then dealt a devastating blow to Dong Zhuo's cavalry.

Comparatively speaking, the killing of throwing and looting is indeed more powerful than that of bows and arrows, because the distance is close, so the line is better, and the guns are thrown one by one, and the cavalry falls down one by one.

"Kill!"

Bows and arrows, throwing spears, but failed to completely shoot the charging cavalry, and most of Dong Zhuo's cavalry rushed to kill the front of Liu Yi's army.

Perhaps, the war was much more cruel than Sergeant Dong Zhuo imagined, when they charged, their comrades fell to the ground one by one and died tragically, which also aroused their boundless fighting spirit, they rushed through the rain of arrows, rushed through the assassination of throwing guns. Red-eyed and hateful wielded a weapon to kill.

Blood is the most able to mobilize a person's feelings, especially hatred. Many Dong Zhuo sergeants had a certain fear of Liu Yijun. But now that the war is fighting, the blood has aroused the heat in their hearts and the resentment and war spirit in their hearts, so now, the sergeants who rushed to the front of Liu Yi's army actually have a spirit of not being afraid of death. Roaring and rushing over.

However, ironically, their roar seemed to be their last cry before they died, and when they rushed up and wanted to rush into the slaughter of Lewi's army, the two of them barred up a long spear in front of Lewi's army. It has become an impassable death gap for them.

A sergeant Dong Zhuo, he was lucky to rush out of the rain of arrows, and then luckily avoided the shooting of the spear. He held a spear, and when he killed Liu Yijun in front of the formation, he was stabbed to death by a long forest that stood up in front of Liu Yijun's formation. He had already taken the spear, but he didn't have time to stop the charge, and the galloping horse collided with the spear waiting for him with his eyes. He wanted to avoid the fate of being killed by a spear as much as possible, but he jumped up on horseback with one foot on his horse's back, but it was a pity. With a bit of momentum, he slammed into the slightly raised tip of his spear. His whole person, pierced through by two spears, was crucified in the air. As he screamed, his own horse crashed into a forest of guns. The neighing of the war horse sounded almost simultaneously with his screams, and both of them died.

With the same fate as him, there are countless sergeants.

In the blink of an eye, before Liu Yi's army, Dong Zhuo's cavalry was killed by spears, and it was as if a great wall of flesh and blood had been built in front of Liu Yi's army.

Dong Zhuojun in the back was still rushing frantically, but in this round of charge, none of Dong Zhuojun was officially able to break into Liu Yi's military formation.

With a coax, Dong Zhuojun still rushed over like a tide.

Before Liu Yi's army array, under the condition that Sergeant Dong Zhuo paved the road with flesh and blood, the spear finally lost its due utility.

The long spear, if it wasn't broken by Dong Zhuo's cavalry, it was because Dong Zhuo's sergeants and war horses were strung together, and they couldn't withdraw the spears in a short time to form a spear formation. Therefore, he was finally killed by Dong Zhuo's cavalry into the military formation.

However, there are no longer long spears, and there are countless short spears, of course, which are only compared to those spears that are two or three feet long. The spear in the hands of the sergeants now is the weapon they use in normal combat.

"Array!"

In the middle were more than 30,000 soldiers in the camp, and under the orders of the commander, they quickly formed a hedgehog-like formation.

At the same time, in Liu Yi's Chinese army, Shen Yong received Liu Yi's order and led two thousand Mo swordsmen to stand out from the front and enter the Dong Zhuo cavalry that attacked.

Liu Yi fought with the two armies, and the shocking situation and sound in his ears made his ears ring, at this moment, because it was too shocking, it made Liu Yi feel that the world seemed to be still.

Boom, shouting and killing, bow and arrow whining, screaming, and neighing of horses all poured into Liu Yi's eardrums, making Liu Yi's ears seem to ache a little.

In the past, Liu Yi followed Liu Bei to fight what kind of big battles, and Liu Yi was not too impressed. Now, this battle with Dong Zhuo's 100,000 cavalry should be a battle between Liu Yi and the enemy head-on, and it is the largest battle. When they met the 100,000 Montenegrin Army Huanglong of the Montenegrin Army, it was actually not as big as the scene now, because the Montenegrin Bandit Army did not really launch a military formation, and they were not cavalry.

Therefore, this battle is a shocking scene for Liu Yi to truly see the 100,000 cavalry, and the momentum created by the 100,000 cavalry charge can really be described as earth-shattering.

However, no matter what, don't be afraid of Dong Zhuo.

The cavalry charged in clusters, and the archers killed and injured them, which can be described as mowing the grass, and the cavalry fell to the ground, which reduced the strength of Dong Zhuo's army sharply, and their first round of charge, when they killed Liu Yi's army in front of the formation, its casualties were estimated to be no less than 10,000 people.

Then, the archers in Liu Yi's array kept firing arrows, throwing guns, and the long formation gave Dong Zhuo's cavalry a lot of damage, which was also very huge.

Yes, under the condition that Liu Yi's sergeants have not been injured, Dong Zhuo's 100,000 cavalry has lost 20,000 or 30,000 people.

Such a result, if it weren't for your own eyes, I'm afraid it would really make people not dare to believe it.

"Brothers! It's time for the decisive battle, kill! Liu Yi raised his gun and led two thousand soldiers to kill him.

The archers in the formation of Liu Yi's army carried out a covering salvo at the cavalry rushing in front, and in front of them, the soldiers of the trapped camp provided them with protection, so that they did not need to be distracted, and only needed to shoot arrows quickly, which could inflict devastating damage on Dong Zhuo's cavalry.

The momentum of Dong Zhuo's cavalry, at this moment, has slowed down a little, and Liu Yi took advantage of this opportunity to lead the army to rush out.

At the same time as the moment, the cavalry on the flank, under the leadership of Dian Wei, fought against Dong Zhuo's army.

This military formation of Liu Yi is not a stubborn military formation, but an advancing military formation. Therefore, there is no need to really wait for Dong Zhuo's cavalry to rush up and send him to death.
