Lü Bu led a thousand light cavalry to chase and kill the Xianbei people, chased them from seven miles south of the city to the west of the city, and then chased them from the west of the city to the north of the city, and then retreated. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are still a large number of Xianbei people in the north of the city, and if they continue to lead the team to rush over at this moment, it will be a bit rash.

Huo Chiluo is dead, and the Xianbei people in the west of the city are fleeing for their lives like frightened rabbits, and some pass near the camp of the Xianbei people in the north of the city, and are caught by the Xianbei people here, asking what is going on, and then the captured people will say incoherently, "There are so many black devils!" "Hochiro was killed by a demon! "Run! The devil is about to catch up! ”

The Xianbei people in the north of the city who had never seen the heavy armored iron riders naturally did not believe that there were any demons, so they hurriedly formed a team and moved towards the west of the city, wanting to see what was happening.

The armored cavalry, which had already rested, pressed from the west of the city to the north of the city in a wide horizontal formation, and the head of the city of Mayi was full of Han soldiers and civilians shouting and cheering.

Lu Bu's attendant Zhao Shu cut off Huo Chiluo's head, and then put it on the tip of a spear, accompanied by Lu Bu's side, and made a mocking cry at the Xianbei people in the north of the city.

The Xianbei people in the north of the city had no will to resist when they saw the iron wall of armored cavalry pressing over, and everyone clearly saw Huo Chiluo's head being pressed against the tip of the spear, and they were still staring! At this time, it is wiser to hurry up and run away.

As a result, the two Xianbei commanders in the north of the city retreated north with their tribal soldiers.

The bravado armored cavalry stopped marching, and Lü Bu gathered all his troops and horses, lined up the defensive formation, and quietly waited for the Xianbei people in the east of the city to respond.

When Captain Koons received the battle reports from the west and north of the city, he couldn't believe his ears, he couldn't imagine what the two thousand Han army relied on to defeat the Xianbei people who were several times their size.

Koons took all his soldiers and horses from the east of the city through the north of the city, and set up an attack formation in the northwest direction of the city.

Lu Bu was not afraid of this, and he once again sent the rested bureau armored cavalry to serve as the arrows of the charge, and on the flanks of the three hundred armored cavalry were light cavalry in a compact formation.

This time, Lu Bu gave the order for the whole army to charge together.

The armored cavalry no longer saves manpower and horsepower, and all urge the horses to charge at the fastest speed, while the light cavalry on both flanks slightly reduces the speed of the horses to ensure that they maintain a cone attack formation with the heavy cavalry.

Faced with the armored cavalry, Koons understood the root cause of Hochiro's defeat, and he hurriedly retreated north with his troops, but in good order, not as panicked and chaotic as the Xianbei people in the first two groups. Koons knew that it would be a big loss to confront the heavy cavalry of the Han army head-on, but if he wanted to break away from the Han army, it would be very easy.

When Lü Bu saw that Koons led his army to retreat north, he immediately ordered his troops to stop marching and rest in place.

Seeing this, Guo Yi at the head of the city asked people to shake the military flag and signal the generals under the city to come close and speak.

Lu Bu asked Xu Rong to drive his horse close to the city of Mayi to see what Guo Yi had to say.

After Xu Rong and Guo Yi exchanged identities, Guo Yi reminded loudly: "It was the Koons tribe who just withdrew, this person is as cunning as a fox, your army must be careful that he comes to sneak attack at night!" ”

Xu Rong thanked Guo Yi for his kind reminder and asked Guo Yi if he could accept the wounded soldiers of the Tiance Army into the city for treatment, and Guo Yi agreed without hesitation. Guo Yi said that for the time being, the sealed city gate could not be pulled open from the inside, because it was too dangerous, but the city head could put down hanging baskets and hang wounded soldiers into the city for medical treatment.

Xu Rong did not object to this, and after asking Lu Bu for instructions, he immediately organized his subordinates to send nearly 100 injured people to the city. Lu Bu fully understood Guo Yi's practice of not welcoming him into the city for the time being, and the Xianbei people were only defeated by one of them, and the other three that escaped and withdrew could be killed at any time. If Guo Yi ordered the soldiers and civilians in the city to open a certain city gate hole to welcome the Tiance army into the city, then Lu Bu would have doubted Guo Yi's level of command.

The magic weapon of the Tiance army to win is the tacit cooperation between the heavy cavalry and the light cavalry, if the cavalry is brought into the city and loses mobility, what advantage does the Tiance army have at all? There was a lack of forage for horses in the city, and once it was besieged for more than half a month, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Now although Lu Bu led the army outside the city without protection, both sides are cavalry, and their own horses are better than Xianbei cavalry in mobility because of the horseshoe nailed, so the initiative to fight or stay is in the hands of Lu Bu.

Xu Rong sent the wounded soldiers into the city, but he showed a careful and cautious side. The flying cavalry battalion lost nearly 100 cavalry, although the strength of the cavalry has decreased, but the decline is not obvious, because there is no need to be distracted by taking care of the injured robes, but will maintain a strong combat strength.

The scout horses sent by the flying cavalry battalion were scattered within a radius of twenty miles around the horse, and Lu Bu ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, gather up the Xianbei war horses scattered around the battlefield and have not fled far, and throw the corpses of more than 2,000 Xianbei people into a loess ravine ten miles west of the city.

The goods on the corpses of Xianbei and the metal weapons they used, bows, crossbows and arrows, etc., were all confiscated and concentrated. When these Xianbei tribe warriors went out to fight, they usually carried the most valuable things with them, and the flying cavalry battalion rushed to rescue Ma Yi regardless of casualties, and it was also appropriate to find some compensation from the Xianbei people.

That night, after a few hours, Lu Bu suddenly received a report from Tanma, and the Xianbei people quietly turned back. Lu Bu sneered at this, his favorite thing now was to fight at night, because all soldiers who were selected for the Flying Cavalry Battalion could not have night blindness in the first place.

Lu Bu discussed with Xu Rong and made a bold decision to divide the troops.

Lu Bu quietly left the camp with five hundred of the most elite light cavalry, and he handed over the defense of the camp to Xu Ronglai to command. Xu Rong immediately ordered his troops to move closer to the western section of the city wall, and sent people to warn the city, asking Guo Yi to send archers to stand above the city head to support.

Xu Rong lined up 300 armored cavalry on the outermost side, forming a semi-circular arc, and lined up the remaining light cavalry between the protective ring of the heavy cavalry and the city wall of Mayi.

When Koons led the 7,000 cavalry of his headquarters to kill, he found that he had underestimated the Han army, and the iron barrel defensive formation set up by the opponent was difficult to break. In particular, the Han cavalry relied on the city wall as a backing, and let the crossbowmen at the head of the city as a support for long-range attacks, which was too insidious.

If Koons led his soldiers to launch a strong attack on the Han camp, he would not only have to collide with the Han army's ironclad cavalry, but also withstand the cavalry of the light cavalry and the crossbowmen at the head of the city.

Seeing that he could not get any bargains, Koons had to lead his troops to evacuate north overnight.

At dawn, Koons ordered his troops to halt their march for a while and rest in place.

At this moment, Lu Bu, who was ambushed nearby one step in advance, led five hundred cavalry to kill him.

The Xianbei people didn't know how many people the Han army came, and it was suddenly chaotic, and Lu Bu took the lead, rushed to Koons, and after eliminating Koons's four strong guards, pointed the halberd at Koons's head.
