Chapter Ninety-Five: Fighting the Tiger and Leopard
The sergeant of the tiger and leopard cavalry shouted and cursed outside Guan Yu's camp for more than ten days, and did not see a single person come out to stop it, not even a single arrow feather of protest, and there was already less awe in his heart.
In fact, many of the men and horses of the front team were still shouting and scolding in front of them, and when they reacted, the cavalry had already broken through like lightning to a place where the tigers and leopards were arrayed.
The soldiers of the tiger and leopard cavalry were worthy of the elite, and quickly put on their armor, but it was obviously a little late, the formation of the cavalry like crane wings was the most effective formation for the shock skirmishers, and even some of the tiger and leopard knights could already see that the crossbow machine had been erected in the hands of those blood-colored cavalrymen.
"Enemy attack!" The tiger and leopard rider who took the lead was even more panicked, never thinking that there were also horsemen of this scale in Jingzhou, which was already beyond their expectations.
"Whoosh...... Sou...... Whoosh...... "The galloping feather arrows like a ghost sound that are urging people are frightening.
With just this round of arrows, many people and horses have already been shot to the ground. The tooth general was even more flustered in his heart, but he was a general dressed as a lieutenant general beside him: "Don't panic, get on your horse and prepare for battle!" We tiger and leopard rides, are we still afraid of the cavalry of the southern barbarians? Joke! ”
This deputy general is called Chang Leopard, who is the deputy general under Cao Zhang, who is very brave in battle, and is also the commander of the tiger and leopard riding 3,000 military horses.
Hearing what the main general said, the soldiers of the tiger and leopard cavalry quickly stabilized the formation, and the more than 2,000 remaining soldiers formed an impact formation, each holding a blade in his hand. Chang Leopard didn't have time to rectify, and the cavalry had already arrived closer, "Kill!" Chang Bao snorted coldly. Carrying the mace in his hand, he rushed out first.
The corners of Li He's mouth slanted: "Pifu, do you still think that our army is an ordinary cavalry?" Death! The steel spear in his hand stood up, and he was the first to meet the Cao army general with a leopard's head and eyes.
Chang Leopard's confidence in the Tiger and Leopard ride is almost blind. In his lifetime, he had never seen a cavalry that could maintain its formation and resist under the frontal onslaught of the tiger and leopard cavalry. But when the two armies collided in one place, the one-sided situation made him a little unacceptable, is this still the tiger and leopard ride that he is familiar with?
The red cavalry of the Jingnan army rolled up like a whirlwind, and everyone held a long knife. Cut the neck of the cavalry upward, cut the horse's foot down, and they will fall in their way. At the same time, there are more than half of the men and horses on their side than the opponent, and their combat power is not weaker than the cavalry of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and the number is in the upper hand, and they have the advantage.
Chang Bao shook his mace and swept down several Jingnan soldiers, and immediately blocked it for Li He, and there was no more lethal effect. Li He's skills are all taught by Huo Yi, although he is not as good as a first-class general, but in the battle array, there are few opponents, and it seems that Chang Leopard and other fierce generals who win with brute force control mace are Li He's opponents.
Chang Bao was horrified in his heart, and immediately remembered the team he had fought against when he was in Hanzhong. It was Huo Yi's cavalry, and the men and horses were all red armor, and Huo Yi himself fought with a gun, Chang Leopard subconsciously thought that he had met Huo Yi.
This time, where is there still the heart to fight, turn the horse and flee, the tiger and leopard knights have the upper hand, and they are at a disadvantage after the battle, and they have no will to fight at this moment, so they came to see the situation of resisting the Jingnan army. At this moment, as soon as the Lord fled, it was even more pointed, and quickly disintegrated. It is a strong army in the world, without the heart of victory, and it is just a local chicken and a dog.
Li He laughed in his heart. How could this Cao army be so vulnerable, and he was about to flee as soon as he fought. However, it was said that the Jingzhou soldiers in Guan Yu's camp had been angry with Cao's army for several days, and at this moment, they saw that a cavalry of their own had defeated this group of men and horses head-on, and no matter whose men and horses it was, they all cheered and jumped, and the shouts of tens of thousands of people were amazing.
Li He saw that some people were cheering for him at this time, and he was even more arrogant, leading the cavalry to chase and fight fiercely, the tiger and leopard rode in front of the escape, and Li He led the Jingnan cavalry to chase and kill, and continued to shoot with crossbow arrows.
Chang Leopard saw that the horse speed of Jing Nanjun was not slower than himself, and he was a little timid in his heart, and he hurriedly accelerated towards the tiger and leopard cavalry camp, and was halfway through, but saw a red torrent blocking the way, raised his eyes, but saw thousands of red cavalry blocking his front, and was shocked and just wanted to speak out to boost morale and rush over, but he saw a black cloud flying in front of his head, and a crossbow arrow shot into Chang Leopard's head, falling against the wind, the cavalry on the heel of the tiger and leopard cavalry quickly stepped over his corpse, and stepped on the mud.
The tiger and leopard cavalry without the main general is not suspected of being a rabble, although it is an amazing personal force, but it is for the Jingnan soldiers to break down the encirclement, Li He was about to encircle and annihilate the remnants of hundreds of tiger and leopard cavalry, but saw smoke and dust rolling in the direction of the tiger and leopard cavalry camp in the distance.
Li He was not a reckless person, he knew that winning the first battle of the tiger and leopard cavalry was more important than strength, so he ordered in a cold voice: "Go!" Retreat to the camp! ”
The Jingnan army quickly withdrew, coming and going like the wind, and where did the remaining tiger and leopard riders dare to chase, just beat their horses and ran to the camp, and never looked back.
Guan Yu's army camp, Guan Ping rushed into Guan Yu's big tent: "Father, the Jingnan army has just arrived, and it has defeated the tiger and leopard who shouted and scolded in front of our army and rode 3,000 horses. The morale of our army is greatly boosted! ”
Guan Yu glanced at Guan Ping slowly: "Well, get up with me to meet this team of people." Under the calm face, the slight tremor of his brows already proved the excitement in Guan Yu's heart at this moment. Even with his arrogant temperament, he actually came to welcome Huo Yi's people lightly, which shows how much he values Huo Yi.
In fact, Guan Yu's temperament is arrogant, but that is also for people, if you have some skills and are valued by him, he will definitely want to see you differently, such as Zhuge Liang.
Guan Yu walked out of the tent and went straight to the gate of the big camp, and the Jingzhou army set up a formation, just waiting for Huo Yi's cavalry to come triumphantly.
Li He led these more than 7,000 cavalry galloping, and after a while, it was in the field of vision of Guan Yu and others, this team of cavalry was a red torrent, with strict laws and strict military discipline.
Guan Yu was moved here, he knew the origin of this cavalry, more than 5,000 of them, which he transferred from the Jingzhou army to Huo Yi as the foundation of his family, he never thought that this cavalry was getting stronger and stronger, compared to the beginning, it was already different, people are still those people, but the temperament of this team is already different.
Guan Yu, who had stayed under Cao Cao, naturally knew what this temperament meant to a cavalry, such a man and horse was in the north, and it was also the elite of the elite.
Li Hejun arrived in front of the camp, only to find that Guan Yu came out to greet him in person, Li He was suddenly shocked, how could Li He, who had served in Jingzhou for many years, not know Guan Yu's temper, and the person who could make Guan Yu go out of the camp to greet him lightly was the sum of all the people under the lord's command, and there was no more than one hand.
Li He was very frightened, hurriedly dismounted, and knelt down on one knee in front of Guan Yu: "Li He, the captain of the cavalry academy of the Jingnan Army, meet General Guan, General Guan personally welcomes him, and tortures the inferior general!" ”
Guan Yu was obviously very satisfied with Li He's reaction, but rarely stepped forward to help Li He with one hand: "The future is terrifying, Shao Xian actually has a fierce general like you under his command, it is really Shao Xian's blessing!" Blessing of Jingzhou! Blessings to the Lord! ”
Li He didn't dare to pretend to be even more embarrassed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "It's all the credit of General Huo's promotion, and the last general is ashamed!" ”
Guan Yu smiled, obviously not planning to be so polite with Li He: "When will your general arrive?" ”
"The last general is fast, before the general arrives here, not long after, General Xingba will lead the water division to the south of Xiangyang, and General Huo is on the way to lead the army!" Li He said slowly.
"Well, well, this battle of Xiangfan is very important, if the battle is won, our army will gain an unprecedented advantage, and we must be cautious. Come with me into the camp, let your lieutenant generals enter the camp with Tanzhi, and Tanzhi will arrange a place for them to camp! Guan Yu said.
Li He would not object: "Oh! ”
But said that Cao Zhang heard the scout's report, Guan Yu's army was killing in front of the sound, he felt not very good, and immediately led thousands of tigers and leopards to ride out to help Chang Leopard, but he was still half a step late, and met the defeated remnants of the army halfway, knowing that Chang Leopard was dead, and the three thousand tigers and leopards were also mostly lost, leaving only these 600 remnants, if it wasn't for his own speed, I am afraid that these 600 people would also be lost on the spot.
