Chapter 72: The Battle of Luoyang (3)

The soldiers and civilians of Luoyang lined up outside the Upper East Gate and waited for a strict formation. Zheng Acheng stood at the front of the queue, and after the initial nervous and boring waiting, a black dot was rapidly approaching them in the distance.

Soon, the black dot gradually expanded. This was accompanied by a tremor of the earth caused by the flying of iron hooves. Zheng Acheng felt that his legs couldn't help but tremble.

Not only Zheng Acheng, but the pressure and fear brought about by the overwhelming momentum of the wolf riding in the state almost captured everyone at that moment. Some people began to get nervous, and some mixed voices began to appear in the queue, some people looked left and right, and some frequently turned back, if they saw that the person who was standing behind him was gone, I am afraid that he would immediately turn around and run away.

Someone in the team began to shout, and Zheng Acheng heard Huang Zheng's voice: "Keep in formation!" Don't be afraid, stay in formation. Stay in formation! ”

Then someone shouted, "There is no way back." We retreat, what will happen to our loved ones? ”

"Fight to the death!"

"Ahh

Zheng Acheng also shouted with him, and soon, all the soldiers and civilians outside Luoyang City let out the same roar.

Fear to the extreme, anger.

In the roar of thunderous rage, the fear and tension caused by the state cavalry were all annihilated.

On the other hand, the Bingzhou cavalry was getting closer and closer, and Zheng Acheng saw that their formation had been fully expanded, the forward cavalry was lined up in a row of geese, and the rear team was endless, rushing like a whirlwind and clouds.

If you look down at the past from a high altitude, the entire Bingzhou cavalry is like a galloping long arrow, and Lu Bu, who is running at the front of the queue, is the sharpest tip of this long arrow.

The dark shadow of the Bingzhou cavalry gradually enlarged in front of Zheng Acheng's eyes. In an instant, the two armies collided. The spear in Zheng Acheng's hand stabbed forward, and a cavalryman's horse was stabbed, Zheng Acheng felt the force of the mountain pressing over, and the other end of the spear was pestled on the ground, and the body of the spear was almost bent to ninety degrees, and then a huge force knocked him into the air.

Zheng Acheng hadn't seen what knocked him away at all, and he only felt dizzy for a while. When he was a little more conscious, he sat on the ground, blood running down his forehead, and his abdomen ached like fire. What he saw was that the Bingzhou cavalry had cut into the military formation, some people were knocked away like him, some were killed by the cavalry's swords, and some people were even ignorant and didn't know what was going on, so they were swept under the iron hooves.

Crying, shouts of fear and anger mingled. Zheng Acheng could see their mouths open, and knew that they were crying out in pain, but he couldn't hear any sound, only the thunderous sound of iron hooves sounded in his ears.

The arm was suddenly pulled up, Zheng Acheng raised his head, and Wang Zhuzi shouted at him loudly while helping him up. There was also blood on his head, and his body was covered with blood, and his originally honest face became a little hideous at this time. Zheng Acheng looked at him in confusion, and it wasn't until a while later that he heard his voice clearly. That was already the last word he spoke.

“…… Stand up and fight to the death! ”

After Wang Zhuzi finished speaking, he carried a war knife and rushed towards the cavalry queue not far ahead. Zheng Acheng struggled to stand up straight, and found that not only Wang Zhuzi, but also the other people around him were also charging towards the Bingzhou cavalry without hesitation. Zheng Acheng felt a burst of blood boiling, and his whole body trembled as if there was a kind of power injected. I looked left and right, and there was a spear at my feet.

Zheng Acheng leaned over and picked up the spear, roaring angrily and rushing towards the Bingzhou cavalry.

************

In the chaotic battle, Lu Fengxian, who was invincible in the world, took the lead, and Fang Tian's halberd was waved in his hand, and every swing brought out a bloody road. Golden crown, golden armor, red rabbit horse, all the momentum in heaven and earth seems to be gathered on this man at this moment.

Nothing could stop him from fulfilling his desires.

The entire Bingzhou cavalry was like a bloody spur, almost killing into the center of the imperial army array, leaving behind a sea of corpses and blood all the way on both sides.

However, as time passed, the situation on the battlefield also developed unexpectedly for Lu Bu.

Although the Bingzhou cavalry tore a big hole in the military formation of the imperial court, the rout of the Luoyang army and civilians expected by Lu Bu did not appear. The cavalry swung their swords and slashed, some were killed, others retreated, and then surrounded again. This situation is not that the cavalry of the state did not attack violently, but that these people were indeed - fighting to the death and not retreating!

Lu Bu was confused. You must know that there is a big difference between ordinary people and well-trained soldiers. Most of the reaction of untrained civilians to death is to turn around and flee, while soldiers are trained and fought before they can adapt to the battlefield and face death. However, these Luoyang people in front of them persevered, and used their flesh and blood to block the iron cavalry of the state cavalry. Lu Bu could see the fear and pain on their faces, but he couldn't see the meaning of retreating.

Lu Bu didn't understand why they were able to do this, because he didn't know that in addition to people like him who were desperate for profit, there were also people in this world who were willing to sacrifice their lives to protect the people and things they cherished.

They won't back down!

Under the city of Luoyang, the soldiers of Luoyang let out such an angry roar with their own blood and flesh.

Lu Bu didn't know the belief of the Luoyang military and civilians, but as an excellent general, he knew that the most important thing for cavalry impact was speed. The Bingzhou cavalry has always been invincible, relying on the speed of lightning. However, the residents of Luoyang used their lives to slow down the pace of the Bingzhou cavalry, causing them to fall into the quagmire of melee.

Lu Bu even saw that the Bingzhou cavalry began to be pulled off the horse by the crowd that had been surrounded, and he fell into the encirclement in an instant, and the battle knife, spear and even just a simple stick beckoned to him together, and when the crowd dispersed, the cavalry that was pulled down was already a blur of flesh and blood.

Even if one of the cavalry knocks the first enemy into the air and the sword cuts the head of another, a third or fourth enemy will follow until the cavalry is pulled off his horse and caught in the crowd.

The attack of the cavalry of Bingzhou began to become difficult, and Lu Bu knew that once the cavalry stopped and fell into a stalemate, the end would come.

As a general with great combat experience, although Lu Bu was keenly aware of this change on the battlefield, he did not turn back when he opened his bow, and he actually had little to do about this situation, so he could only grit his teeth and continue.

It is true that only by continuing and penetrating the military formation of the defenders of the imperial court can the final victory be achieved.

Lu Bu led the Bingzhou cavalry forward little by little, paying the price of slowness at every step, until they approached the center of the military formation, countless flags stood in front of them.

After initially attacking the military formation, Lu Bu didn't care about these flags, but when the Bingzhou cavalry broke through these flags, he was stunned to find that behind the flags were rows of horses more than half a person high, traversing the entire military formation, which can be said to have divided the entire military formation into two sections.

Generally speaking, such a rejection horse should have been placed in front of the formation to block the cavalry charge and protect the soldiers behind. But now it is abnormally placed in the middle of the military formation. The cavalry did not expect such a situation, and the cavalry that rushed to the front crashed into the rejection of the horse, and some of the cavalry behind turned their horses' heads as hard as they could, which actually stopped the speed of the charge.

However, there were still many skilled cavalrymen who rode past the rejection. And for Lu Bu and the Red Rabbit Horse, such a rejection of the horse is not an obstacle, when it was approaching, Lu Bu suddenly tightened the reins, the Red Rabbit Horse jumped, and Lu Bu jumped over like a god.

On the other side of the rejection of the horse, there is the eight battalions of Shenwei who are waiting for battle.

**********

When the Bingzhou army first attacked the military formation, the soldiers of the 8th Battalion of Shenwei did not move behind the rejection of the horses. The flag in front blocked the view, but the shouts and killings in front of the military formation could be heard in their ears, and everyone began to get nervous for these new recruits who were just coming to the battlefield.

The famous reputation of the wolf rider in the state will indeed put some pressure on them.

However, when the flag was dispersed, what they saw was the front of the rejected horse, and the scene of the Luoyang army and civilians fighting to the death and not retreating.

The people were crying and howling, mercilessly slaughtered by the Bingzhou cavalry. But they didn't take a step back, and they launched a death charge in the face of the blades.

Suddenly, it was as if something was blocking my chest. The eyes of the soldiers of the Eighth Battalion of Shenwei were red, and their bodies were tensed, and something was about to burst out from their bodies!

At this moment, a voice came. Liu Wei, the Son of Heaven, stood on top of the wheel, his voice was loud and passionate:

"You see, our compatriots, our brothers, who were killed by those traitors like that. What I'm going to do, what we should be doing! I have asked you a question, and I will ask you again when I do. Now, it's time! ”

Liu Wei paused.

"Do you dare to fight?"

"Dare!"

The soldiers of the Eighth Battalion of Shenwei let out a shocking roar of anger in unison, and all the soldiers and generals of the state, including Lu Bu, were shocked by this roar and couldn't help but pause. They all heard the undying courage contained in the roar.

Lu Bu narrowed his eyes. At this time, there were still quite a few Bingzhou cavalry who jumped into the side of the rejection of the horse. But the sweeping speed of the initial attack is gone. Looking up, he could already see the little emperor Liu Wei standing on the car not far away, also looking in his direction.

Lu Bu took a deep breath.

"Sons, kill with me!"

"Kill!" The state cavalry roared in unison. They have not lost their initial momentum.

Without any hesitation, the two armies immediately met each other, and a fierce collision occurred in this battlefield of blood and fire.
