Chapter 230: Mutual Containment
As the dust cleared, Colby finally saw the battle ahead. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 The offensive of the heavy cavalry came to a halt and began to try to make a detour to the sides, but the enemy's own army had already begun to support it.
"The cavalry of the Huaxia people want to use a strategy similar to mine to contain me?" Colby couldn't help but laugh as he watched the Bingzhou army led by Lu Bu approach quickly. As long as the 1,000 long-term opponents that he had prepared for a long time blocked the enemy's cavalry charge, and then led his own army to press it with all his might, then he could directly achieve victory, and even if the cavalry offensive led by Rogers was frustrated, he could hold out until his army was all pressed.
"I can't imagine that there are people like you among the barbarians." Zhao Yun looked at Jos, who was desperately entangled in the direction of his march, with a serious expression in his eyes.
Under the attack of the White Horse Yicong, the cavalry led by Jos continued to die, but this person still firmly stopped in front of Zhao Yun.
"For the sake of my master, I have long been determined to sacrifice my insignificant life." Jos threw away the bow and arrows in his hand, and slowly drew his two sharp swords behind his hands.
Entangled by Jos's team, unable to support the New Guards, nor able to support Lu Bu's Bingzhou army, seeing that Bingzhou launched a charge in advance, Zhao Yun's heart was a little anxious.
"I'll let you die as you deserve." Zhao Yun also put away his bow and arrows, pulled out his Qingyu sword, and said to the left and right: "This enemy general is handed over to me, and you can destroy the cavalry under his command as soon as possible." ”
"Yes, General Zhao." The remaining dozen or so Bai Ma Yi immediately obeyed the order when they heard this, and then drew their swords and joined the battle group of their colleagues around them, giving up the idea of helping Zhao Yun.
"Just kill you." Jos controlled himself not to listen to the screams of his companions around him, not to look at the blood splashed on the ground, his eyes were intently looking at Zhao Yun, he shouted, and then rushed over. "Just kill you and everything will change."
"Very well, since you are so faithful, I will fulfill you. Enemy general, accept your life! Zhao Yun also rode up to meet him.
The battlefield intersected with swords, and the only calm place also made waves at the moment.
The thunderous sound of horses' hooves brought up pieces of dust, and the people who set off this huge wave of dust were none other than Lu Bu and the Bingzhou army under his command.
Fang Tian's halberd began to move forward diagonally, and the red rabbit horse suddenly began to accelerate violently, and immediately broke away from the team of the Bingzhou riders, and the Bingzhou riders who were left behind began to accelerate with all their strength when they saw this, without reservation.
"Just a thousand people want to stop me and the iron cavalry of the state army?" Lu Bu looked disdainfully at the increasingly clear faces of the enemy soldiers in front of him. Quickly search for the commander of this infantry formation.
"Steady, all for me." In the enemy formation ahead, a person who walked back and forth with a sword and shouted immediately attracted Lu Bu's attention.
"That's you." Lu Bu hung Fang Tian's halberd on the saddle, picked up the blood-colored big bow, and drew out the precious armor-piercing arrow that he had been reluctant to use.
"One hundred meters!" Mentally concentrated, on the highly turbulent moving war horse, Lu Bu pulled the bow and arrow full of strings, his hand pulling the strings against his cheeks, and his eyes were extremely sharp.
"Give it to me... Files···· Yes. The commander, who was shouting with his sword, suddenly heard a loud bang, and then felt a pain in his feet, and looked down to see an arrow that he had never seen before pierced the base of his thigh, and the pain almost made him dizzy immediately.
An English soldier standing in front of the commander spitted out a mouthful of blood in a trembling manner, his face was a little distorted, he let go of the broken shield, clutched his chest that was constantly spilling blood, and slowly fell to the ground.
"Hmph, did you misestimate the toughness of the shield?" Seeing that there was not a single arrow that killed the opponent's commander, Lu Bu was a little dissatisfied, and he picked up Fang Tian's halberd again, pointing at the enemy formation and rushing forward.
"Huh? What is that? "The two armies had just begun to make contact, and Colby suddenly saw a black dot flying into the sky, and his eyes continued to move with the black dot that flew into the sky, and finally watched the black dot slowly fall.
"This is?!" The black dot finally fell, smashing on some hard ground, Colby finally saw clearly what this black dot was, that remarkable helmet style, there was only one person in front of him, that is, the commander of the thousand-man infantry army appointed by himself, watching his infantry commander's head fall on the ground not far away, Colby's heart set off a wave.
Soon, a scene that surprised Colby even more appeared, as if breaking common sense, a knight riding a tall fiery red war horse directly crashed through the infantry formation in front of him, and all the soldiers behind him collapsed to the ground, as if they were dead, and several soldiers were even knocked into the sky, flying diagonally to both sides and then falling to the ground.
The scene reminded Colby of a car accident he had witnessed when he was still in his original world, and the rampaging truck knocked the dense crowd out of a brief gap, which should not have been seen here.
"Collateral reinforcement products that strengthen people? The war horse? Seeing the majestic appearance of the red rabbit horse, Colby thought of the other English civilization seeds in the alliance, and after a little thought, he immediately understood what was going on. The war horses under Lu Bu's command were too eye-catching, not just a matter of tallness, but there was no sign of slowing down at all. Normal war horses will instinctively slow down when they encounter obstacles in front of them, even if they are blindfolded and hit by the horse, they will still slow down, and it is impossible to keep running at the original high speed.
The commander who lost the stable formation, coupled with the gap where the phalanx was penetrated, was suddenly seized by the charging cavalry, and with that gap as the center, they violently slammed into the past.
Like a collapsing wall, the gap continued to widen, and the more than 1,000 English soldiers who were broken in two held on for a moment, and then they could not resist the tremendous pressure, and went to the rout, fleeing to both sides.
"Archer!" Seeing that he could not stop the attack of the state army, Colby immediately ordered the longbowmen to prepare for the attack, "No matter how strong you are, you are just a person, and you are also a yellow-skinned monkey, can you change the entire battle situation?" Let you taste the power of my English bow and arrow. ”
Thousands of bows and arrows collectively pulled their bows, and then raised them slightly, facing the direction that Lu Bu was attacking.
"My lord, something is wrong." At this critical moment, a knight with a bloodstained face broke into the military formation and came to Colby's face with a panicked look.
"What's going on? Why don't you guard the baggage team well, what are you doing here? Colby looked at the man and recognized him as his appointed quartermaster, the commander of the army who guarded the baggage. Before the big battle at this moment, the baggage team had already been hidden by his own order. "Don't shout, just say something quickly, I won't spare you if it affects the morale of the army."
"Yes, yes, yes..." The quartermaster was a little speechless, approached Colby and tried to calm himself, then raised his head slightly and said: "The baggage team has been routed by an enemy cavalry, this is not the most important thing, and there is ······· It's just..."
"What did you say?" Colby suddenly became anxious when he heard this, and at this moment, the cavalry was approaching, but he didn't expect the materials of his entire army to be out of control, "Is there anything more important than this?" Without supplies, the army's heart is over! ”
Looking at Colby, who was scolding in a low voice, the quartermaster continued: "It's the enemy, the cavalry that attacked the baggage team is coming this way, they tried to intercept the news from the city of Kuro, only to find the hidden baggage, and now, they ······"
The quartermaster was in the middle of his sentence when a strong wind struck ahead, and with the sound of sharp arrows, a flag embroidered with roses beside Calby exploded and fell to the ground.
"There's a dark arrow! Protect the lord. The knights around Colby shouted in panic, and then crowded in front of Colby with shields in hand, protecting Colby at the core.
"Four hundred meters away." Lu Bu withdrew his bow and arrows and pulled out Fang Tian's halberd again, "The next decisive moment, lord, take a good look at it, and see how my Lu Bu's martial arts have subversive strength." ”
Lu Bu followed behind with fewer horses, and the charging formation was a little looser, and the speed was not as fast as before, but he still tried to accelerate in the direction of Lu Bu, even if he knew that he was going to enter the range of the bow and arrow, no one flinched.
