Chapter Seventy-Eight: Spear and Halberd
The knight on the two horses that stepped out of Liu Bei's formation was also very tall, if it weren't for the fact that the horses were not as good as Lu Bu's mount Shenjun, the height of the two on the horses could already be close to Lu Bu, although the two were wearing armor, but the Mingguang armor on their bodies was obviously very old, one to prove that the two had been on the battlefield for a long time, and the other was to prove that their armor had not been redone for a long time. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info you must know that as long as the Mingguang armor of both the generals of the Cao Army and the tiger and leopard rider is slightly dilapidated, it will be replaced and recast or repaired, and there will definitely not be such a tattered situation as the armor on the two of them.
Although the armor of these two people is broken, but the momentum is very fierce, one is holding an ordinary spear of nearly three meters, and the other is holding a spear head more than two feet long, flat, curved like a snake, with blades on both sides of the odd-shaped blade.
Cao Pi naturally knew that the strange-shaped blade was a snake spear, not because Cao Pi knew how well this blade was, but because this image was too recognizable.
"Sir, is the person holding the snake spear Zhang Fei Zhang Yide?"
"Exactly, it turns out that Childe also knows this person."
"The person next to him is Guan Yunchang?"
"Exactly."
Although he doesn't understand history, Cao Pi knows a little common sense, the so-called long-handled knife did not appear until around the Song Dynasty, and there was no such thing at this time, and for cavalry warfare, spears and horse lances are the most powerful weapons, but the world is rumored that on the day Dong Zhuo was killed, Lu Bu used a halberd to disperse Dong Zhuo's personal guards and kill him, as for why he appeared with a spear now, Cao Pi does not know.
At this time, Lu Bu brandished his spear and rushed towards Zhang Fei and Guan Yu with his cavalry, Guan and Zhang were not afraid, the snake spear and spear stabbed out, and Lu Bu staggered, Lu Bu waved the spear to block the attack of the two and gave Zhang Fei a beat, Zhang Fei stopped the move, and Kuiwei's body shook a few times on the horse.
Taking advantage of the fact that the two sides were not far apart, Guan Yu turned around on the horse and stabbed Lu Bu again, but Lu Bu did not turn back, swung the spear shaft, and calmly blocked Guan Yu's blow with his tail teeth. You must know that the stirrup at this time is still a unilateral stirrup, which is only used by knights on horses, so when selecting cavalry, it is often necessary to choose a person who is stable and can clamp the horse's body.
But even if the sergeant who is very stable can no longer make a lot of difficult movements immediately, because when clamping the horse's body, you need to cooperate with waist strength and leg strength, and you also need waist strength when you use weapons on the horse, if the moves are complicated, it is easy to be shocked off the horse when encountering the impact, but Lu Bu, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei can perform tricks under the condition of galloping horses, which is enough to prove that the strength between the waist and legs of the three people is rare in the world.
At this time, Lu Bu and Guan and Zhang staggered over, Lu Bu rode into Liu Bei's rear army formation, at this time Liu Bei's rear army has been prepared, and they have raised their spears and pointed upwards, and the tip of the spear is against the horse's neck, which is a common way for infantry to deal with cavalry, because the horse has a great running momentum, and if the tip of the spear is against the horse's neck, the horse's neck can be pierced by the horse's own momentum, and the horse's neck is pierced and the horse naturally loses the ability to run, and even because of the pain, people stand up and overturn the knight under the horse.
It's just that this move didn't do anything to Lu Bu, but when he saw Lu Bu wave the spear in his hand, several infantry long hairs were cut off in response, and they were constantly swept aside, and then Lu Bu rushed into the formation without hindrance, and as the spear in his hand flew over, he immediately killed a bloody path for the cavalry behind him.
And with Lu Bu by mistake and passed, Zhang and the two also relied on amazing martial arts to leave a lot of cavalry led by Lu Bu, Guan Yu stabbed with a spear, someone must fall off the horse, as for Zhang Fei is good at using a snake spear to attack people's faces and necks, often a fatal move, rarely use stabbing tricks, compared to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei's moves are more weird.
But after all, only the two of them are good at fighting, and the number of cavalry behind Lu Bu who has entered Liu Bei's rear army is still quite large, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is like a bamboo, and it is about to hit the rear of Liu Bei who is fighting with Cao Xing, Wei Xu, and Hou Cheng.
But at this time, Cao Chun arrived with a tiger and leopard horse, Cao Chun and Lu Bu, who were wearing black light armor, immediately killed him in the rear, and then the tiger and leopard rode three horses towards Lu Bu, and the rest of the knights rode around Lu Bu to intercept the cavalry behind him, and in a moment, the two teams of cavalry killed in one place.
The tiger and leopard cavalry has the full upper hand with the black light armor, although Lu Bu quickly solved the three tiger and leopard knights, but his cavalry was entangled by the tiger and leopard cavalry and infantry together, and in desperation, Lu Bu rode his horse and swung his spear, killing all the way up the gallop road, and went away, in the middle, there was no one to beat.
Cao Pi looked at it with a shaken heart, this kind of bravery, it really lived up to the name of Lu Bu among the people. Xun Yu sighed: "Lu Fengxian this person, on the horse spear, off the horse with a halberd, the horse and the halberd are invincible, the princes of the year crusaded against Dong Zhuo, this person led the troops to attack the crowd, and still delayed for a lot of time. ”
Xun You said with a smile: "That's right, it is said that when this person was in Chang'an against Dong Zhuo, with only a halberd and five or six cronies, he killed Dong Zhuo's personal guards and beheaded him, which is really brave." ”
Cao Pi's heart said that this is the case, in fact, the halberd is a weapon, the blade is like a spear, but there is a crescent blade on the side, although it is conducive to chopping, but it also causes the spearhead to penetrate not deeply, and it is difficult to give full play to the advantages of cavalry impact and piercing, so no one uses it for cavalry combat, but because this halberd can stab, split, cut, twist, lock, wind, high operability, and clever usage. In foot warfare, it was favored by many people, such as the pawn Lao Tzu Dian Wei liked to use halberds, and in infantry battles, halberds and ring swords were the most popular weapons at that time.
With Lu Bu's retreat, the enemy troops on the other sides also retreated one after another, because the Cao army wanted to protect the people, so there was no pursuit, and most of the enemy troops retreated very calmly, but the cavalry brought by Lu Bu, because deep into the formation, except for a few more than ten horsemen who escaped, the other knights were all under siege, half were killed, half surrendered, Lu Bu's cavalry team suffered heavy losses, Cao Pi even guessed that Lu Bu may have no available cavalry.
After the battle, Cao Jun immediately set up camp with all his might, the sky was just dark, the camp had been set up, Liu Bei's camp was still in the outermost area, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, who had fought fiercely with Lu Bu just now, Cao Pi still didn't see the appearance clearly.
Cao Pi still received preferential treatment, he lived alone in a tent, and it was on the bank of the Chinese army's big village, not long ago, the spies came to report, saying that Lu Bu had gathered the army, stationed in Pengcheng in front, obviously to fight with Cao Cao in Pengcheng again, although Cao Pi did not participate in the war today, but he rode his horse and ran around, and because of the fierce battle, it really took a lot of brainpower, so he soon fell asleep.
