Chapter 128: Breaking the Enemy Cavalry

Lu Bu heard the sound of gold in the distance, and secretly screamed in his heart that it was a pity, he also wanted to lead Ji Ling's cavalry away and then turn around and annihilate it, since Ji Ling saw through it, there was no way, how much could be killed.

"Scatter." Lu Bu gave an order. Waved the flag and began to run diagonally with the archer's battalion. One by one, the soldiers of the archery battalion pulled their bows and arrows, turned around and began to shoot arrows at the Ji Ling cavalry, who was slowly slowing down and preparing to turn.

The Ji Ling cavalry is too dense, and if you want to turn, the large array must run out of a large semicircle, and there is no such possibility at all to turn around directly.

Wu Ji was horrified to find that countless arrows flew from Lu Bu's cavalry one after another, and screams came from his side one after another. With such a dense formation, there is no need to aim at all, and the Lu Bu cavalry only needs to pull out the bow and arrow, and then let go of the string, and there will be an arrow from one of their own cavalry.

The Ji Ling cavalry did not have a saddle to fix the body, once the cavalry was in pain, he subconsciously loosened the legs that tightened the horse's belly, and then... There was no then, and he was trampled into pulp by countless running war horses behind him.

As soon as the Ji Ling cavalry was hit by an arrow, their morale dropped rapidly, and there was no more strange screams that had just been menacing, only screams that kept coming.

"Rush forward!" Wu Ji knew that he couldn't retreat now, so he could only rush down in one go, hoping that this would suppress Lu Bu's cavalry and release arrows.

Since Lu Bu let the soldiers release an arrow, it was impossible to stop there, and led the cavalry to rub the Jiling cavalry in a large formation, turning back to shoot arrows. Every time the archery battalion turned around and fired arrows, it would shoot down the pursuing Jiling cavalry.

Occasionally, an arrow killed a running horse, and the cavalry closely following behind him tripped over the fallen horse in front of him before he could dodge.

Wei Yue and Xiao Xiong, who were close to both sides of the Ji Ling cavalry array, also began to flank when Lu Buzhong's army fired the first arrow. The Ji Ling cavalry did not carry a shield, and there was no way to dodge the bows and arrows flying all over the sky.

Wu Ji gradually found that his cavalry had no way to fight back except for eating arrows, and under the reflexive return of the Lu Bu cavalry, the cavalry speed under his command was slowly suppressed, and with the current cavalry speed, it was impossible to catch up with the Lu Bu cavalry in front. ”

He led the cavalry and made up his mind to turn back to the city, and if he pursued it again, he was afraid that the whole army would be annihilated, and at this time he turned back, and he could still escape some of the cavalry, and he desperately thought that he could run as much as he could.

"Chase." The enemy retreats, and I advance. The Ji Ling cavalry wanted to run, but of course Lu Bu would not let them turn back to the city satisfactorily, and took the cavalry to keep a half-arrow distance from the Ji Ling cavalry, and chased them in two parallel arcs.

Wu Ji saw Lu Bu's cavalry chasing after him, and Wu Ce, the younger brother of the dynasty, said: "After Wu Ce is broken! ”

Wu Ce's heart is like ashes, and after it is broken, it is his life, and at this time of crisis, Wu Ji will not dare to disrespect: "Big brother take care of my mother." ”

After Wu Ce finished speaking, he divided hundreds of cavalry and chased after Lu Buzhong's large array.

After Lu Bu saw that the enemy's cavalry was broken, he ordered the standard-bearer loudly: "Order Wei Yue on both wings, Xiao Xiong to pursue the enemy brigade." The Chinese army annihilated the enemy army after the break. ”

LΓΌ Bu could have ordered the archers to draw their scimitars and fight hard with the broken cavalry. The archers can stand on the stirrups and condescendingly slash and kill the cavalry after the break, and break through the enemy cavalry after the break to continue to pursue the Jiling cavalry brigade. It's just that in this way, there will always be losses in hand-to-hand combat, and Lu Bu is reluctant to let the already scarce cavalry have further losses.

Lu Bu once again ran away with the Chinese army, always fishing for the broken cavalry behind him, turning back and shooting as he ran.

The cavalry of the Ji Ling Brigade lost the containment of Lu Buzhong's army, and the total number of people led by Wei Yue and Xiao Xiong was only 400 people, and the damage caused to the Ji Ling Brigade was not very serious. The Ji Ling cavalry turned their heads completely, desperately beat their horses and ran, rushing to the city gate, one point faster than when they charged before, and gradually threw off the pursuing two-wing archers.

The cavalry gradually leaned into the city tower, and Ji Ling, who had been nervously observing the cavalry in the distance, found that only about one-third of the cavalry entered the field of vision, and even the cavalry scattered on the two wings was far less than 3,000 cavalry, and he was puzzled. He didn't even see that the two flanks behind his cavalry formation were Lu Bu's cavalry.

Getting closer and closer, I can barely see Wu Ji's flag slogan, it is... Is it a cry for help?

"Xun Gan went out of the city to rescue Wu Ji!" After Ji Ling saw the flag clearly, he was so anxious that he wanted to jump off the city tower and rush to his own cavalry to rescue.

Xun Gan had already lined up the battle array, ready to rescue Wu Ji's cavalry, and under Ji Ling's order, he was about to kill the infantry outside the city.

Lei Xu jumped out and objected: "What if Lu Bu's cavalry followed and killed in the city? It is better to close the city gate and defend the city wall, Lu Bu is all cavalry and cannot attack the city. ”

Ji Ling saw that Lei Xu finally stood on his side and considered it, although he came up with a crooked idea, Ji Ling did not angrily reprimand Lei Xu, but patiently explained: "The cavalry is precious, and there is no room for loss, our army has a large number of infantry, and it is very feasible for the infantry to replace the cavalry into the city." Once Lu Bu waved his army and wanted to seize the city gate, then... Just..."

Ji Ling suddenly stopped talking about this, his meaning was very clear, that is, sacrificing infantry to protect the cavalry. If Ji Ling knew that Lei Xu's original intention was to lock this cavalry outside the city and let Lu Bu annihilate it, I don't know if he would be killed on the spot.

When Lu Bu annihilated the broken cavalry, most of Ji Ling's cavalry had already arrived in the city. Wei Yue and Xiao Xiong chased to the city gate, but the infantry in front blocked the way, and with the strength of the two of them, they could not penetrate the infantry formation at all. The defenders of the city were again raining down on arrows, hurriedly reining in their horses and cursing from outside the firing range.

There were many defenders at the head of the city, and the arrows fired by the archers were nothing compared to the drizzle. Wei Yue did not dare to continue the pursuit, and watched as the enemy cavalry was picked up into the city by the infantry.

Wei Yue showed off his might outside the city and returned to clean up the battlefield. Except for the enemy horsemen who fell to the ground and died everywhere, not a single war horse that was not scrapped was left, and all the war horses that could run were carried into the city by Ji Ling's cavalry.

"Replenish your strength, feed the horses." LΓΌ Bu ordered the soldiers to eat dry rations, and then feed the horses before fighting. He carried Fang Tian's halberd to slaughter the damaged war horses, expecting to drop some of the horses discarded by the Ji Ling cavalry. Basically, most of the war horses fell to their deaths in the high-speed charge, and Lu Bu's harvest was very dismal.

"My lord, there is not much dry food, and there is not much food for the horses." Wei Yue reminded, meaning that Lu Bu was advised to economize.

"It's okay, eat with confidence, and be full. The horses are also to be fed. "Lu Bu has no supplies behind him, but he has a flexible cavalry in his hand, do you need supplies? He just wants to rely on the mobility of the cavalry and Zang Ba to cooperate with the attack on Tuzhong's grain road, and he is afraid that there will be no food to eat?

When the cavalry returned to the city, Ji Ling personally went downstairs to count, and there were about 1,400 of all the war horses, of which more than half of the war horses were injured and could no longer go to the battlefield, and there were less than 1,000 cavalrymen who could really fight again. If it weren't for Ji Ling's long-term battle, he might have vomited blood from the fiasco in front of him.

This is not a fiasco, this is a one-sided massacre, he lost two thousand cavalry, Lu Bu did not lose a single horse, the more Ji Ling thought about it, the more he didn't know how to break the enemy, his cavalry didn't even touch the ass of Lu Bu's cavalry, and he was unprecedentedly confused about the situation in front of him, did he really want to open the door and surrender? His position began to waver.

"Tell the city to defend it! No one is allowed to go out of the city to meet the enemy! Ji Ling decided to fight against the water, he couldn't hold out, and saw how Lu Bu broke his city.
