Chapter 488: Knocking on the Mountain and Suppressing the Tiger
Zhang Fei rode the Snow Kick Black Horse, and Zhang Fei thought that he was uncomfortable wrapping himself into an iron dumpling, so he only wore a set of black armor, and the Kick Snow Black Horse was not covered with half a piece of scale armor, not to mention that the sprint speed of the sweaty BMW was amazing, and the Kick Snow Black Horse was a treasure horse like no other in ten thousand, with a hiss, the four hooves soared into the clouds, like an arrow off the string, and crashed towards Liu Pan.
Liu Pan was in the midst of the chaos, his eyes were red, and suddenly a black cloud appeared in front of him, and when his head was covered, he heard a thunderbolt in his ears and shouted: "Liu Pan'er!" Hugh is rampant! Your grandfather Zhang is here! The sound was like a bell, which shook Liu Pan's eardrums.
As soon as Zhang Fei's voice fell, the horse arrived and the spear arrived, and he didn't give Liu Pan any respite at all, and the Zhangba snake spear had already stabbed at Liu Pan like thunder.
Liu Pan raised his gun in a panic, the steel gun and the snake spear collided in one place, when the loud sound, it shook Liu Pan's arms numb, the tiger's mouth burst, he secretly screamed badly, turned the horse and wanted to leave, Zhang Fei smiled, where was he willing to let him escape, and kicked the snow black horse, like a black whirlwind, and chased straight up.
How fast it is to kick the snow black horse, Liu Pan only rode an ordinary war horse, and the difference between it was 108,000 miles away from the snow black horse, Zhang Fei rushed behind him in a moment, raised the spear and stabbed it, Liu Pan was frightened, and when he raised the gun and fought again, it was too late, and he was poked by the Zhangba snake spear. Liu Pan looked at the tip of the spear peeking out of his chest with hatred, and screamed, with unwillingness and despair, his body withered, and he fell off the horse.
As soon as Liu Pan died, the Jingzhou cavalry was even more leaderless, and they were powerless to resist in the face of the surging attack of the thunder cavalry. When they landed, they collapsed.
With the power of crushing a qiē, the thunder cavalry swept the entire position like a bamboo. Everywhere I went, I was invincible.
The Jingzhou cavalry was unable to resist the onslaught of the thunder cavalry. Forced to retreat backwards. But what is very tragic is that Jingzhou, which has just crossed the water, is completely in the dilemma of fighting against the water, once defeated, there is no way to retreat, which is also the main reason why Liu Ze chose to fight in Anlu, as long as the Lei cavalry breaks through the defense line of the Jingzhou soldiers, the Jingzhou soldiers will not escape the fate of the whole army.
There was no way back, and the desperate Jingzhou soldiers were unable to resist the powerful impact of the thunder cavalry, and began to flee along the east bank of the Zhuanshui in the north-south main direction. But to the south and north of Anlu. Liu Ze had already ordered the First Cavalry Division and the Second Cavalry Division to be ready for battle. The panicked Jingzhou cavalry had just escaped the pursuit of the thunder cavalry, but had to face the sharp arrow rain of the archers, in order to avoid becoming hedgehogs, many Jingzhou cavalry chose to dismount and surrender.
The battle of Anlu soon came to an end, an unprecedented scale of pure cavalry battle came to an end, the 50,000 cavalry of the Jingzhou army were wiped out, buried on the bank of the Zhuanshui River, the main general Liu Pan was stabbed to death by Zhang Fei, and the deputy general Liu Hu also died in the chaos. More than 20,000 Jingzhou soldiers and more than 30,000 war horses were captured by the Xuzhou army.
When Liu Ze appeared on the battlefield, Lei Qi had already won a big victory. Countless thunder cavalry raised their spears and raised their arms and shouted: "Wan Sheng!" Wansheng! Although I couldn't see their facial expressions, I could still see that every thunder cavalry was quite excited. This hearty victory greatly boosted the morale of the Thunder Cavalry.
Zhang Fei grinned and couldn't stop laughing, while Zhang He, Liao Hua, Wu Anguo and others had a look of admiration. Maybe even they didn't expect this victory to come so easily, Liu Ze did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to build the Lei Qi really lived up to expectations. Everyone couldn't help but admire Liu Zezhuo's extraordinary insight.
Liu Ze ordered someone to put up the corpses of Liu Pan and Liu Hu, Liu Pan was better, but he was killed by Zhang Fei with a spear in a transparent cave, but Liu Hu died in the chaos, almost trampled into meat by Lei Qi's iron horse, a few pieces of stump fragments could not be put back to their original shape, and the appearance was miserable, and it was still recognized as Liu Hu's corpse by virtue of armor and clothes. The two bodies were packed in coffins, and Liu Ze ordered them to be transported to Xiangyang in a car.
Zhang Fei was not happy, and muttered: "Big brother, do you need to be so troublesome?" It's better to dig a pit and bury it, and you have to send it to Xiangyang all the way away, and the trouble is dead! ”
Xu Shu said with a smile: "Third general, the lord does this, but it has a deep meaning. This is called knocking on the mountain and returning the bodies of Liu Pan and Liu Hu to Liu Biao, which can not only reflect the generosity and benevolence of the lord, but also allow all the people in Jingzhou to witness the tragic death of Liu Pan and Liu Hu, so that they can understand that if they continue to resist stubbornly, they will definitely end up like this. ”
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "When Xu Senjun said this, I understand, kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys, kill Liu Pan and Liu Hu, the two little chicks, and scare and scare Liu Biao, the old monkey, if he is not convinced, I will immediately lead the thunder horse to Xiangyang and fight until he surrenders and surrenders." ”
Liu Zedao: "In the field battle, although the thunder cavalry is known as invincible, it is not omnipotent, and the thunder cavalry is not competent for the siege alone. The battle of Anlu was won by surprise, otherwise Liu Pan would not have fought so easily if he had prepared a little. Today's war, the thunder horse will inevitably be famous all over the world, and will become the target of the public from now on, the princes of all walks of life will inevitably study all kinds of tricks to guard against the thunder horse, for the thunder horse, this will be an opportunity and a challenge, a real king of the army, need to be tempered to create brilliance! ”
It is conceivable that the princes of all walks of life in the world must pay great attention to this heavy cavalry that came out of nowhere, but the thunder cavalry is almost impossible to copy, even if the princes of all walks of life want to copy and imitate, it is almost impossible, and now among the princes in various places, most of the horses are from the north, Hun horses, Wuhuan horses, Xianbei horses, Liangzhou horses, and state horses, etc., both. The common characteristics of the Northland horse are that the physique is not large, the endurance is good but the explosiveness is poor, the load capacity is limited, like the thunder riding such a full-body armor, the Northland horse will be overwhelmed, there is nothing to bear, this is also the original intention of Liu Ze to go all the way to the Western Regions to find the great Wanliang horse.
Therefore, even if the princes of all walks of life are envious of the thunder horse, but if they want to copy the exact same thunder horse, it is also unattainable, and this is not only a problem that can be solved with money. But after the exposure of the thunder cavalry this time, the princes of all walks of life were shocked by its power, and they will inevitably come up with some tricks to deal with the thunder cavalry, such as using a heavy crossbow with greater power and penetrating ability, using the terrain to block the attack of the thunder cavalry, strengthening the ability of light cavalry to intersperse with roundabouts, etc., and the unclear thing like Liu Pan's death will rarely happen. It is foreseeable that for a long time in the future, the invincible position of the Thunder Cavalry in the field battle will be unshakeable, but the enemies faced by the Thunder Cavalry will also become more and more cunning, and the battle will become more and more cruel.
This time, a total of more than 30,000 war horses were captured, which made Liu Ze have an unexpected gain. Xuzhou did not produce horses in history, although in order to supplement the lack of war horses, Liu Ze set up horse farms in some places in Xuzhou, specifically to breed horses, but due to the constraints of climate and conditions, Xuzhou local horses have not been able to meet the supply. Although Liu Ze and Cao Cao signed a treaty of mutual assistance and mutual assistance, the horses imported from the north to Xuzhou had been strictly controlled by Cao Cao, and Cao Cao had always been very shrewd in this matter, and he would not tolerate Liu Ze's power to become larger.
As for the more than 20,000 Jingzhou soldiers who were captured, Liu Ze had no intention of taking them for his own use for the time being, so he would be imprisoned first, and then dispose of them after Jingzhou was pacified.
The news of the annihilation of Liu Pan's 50,000 cavalry in Pinglu soon spread throughout Jingzhou, and Liu Biao heard the bad news and witnessed the death of his nephew Liu Pan and Liu Hu. Cai Mao commanded 100,000 land and water troops just left Yicheng, looking at the direction of Xiakou to march, after hearing the news, he was also frightened, after arriving at Jingling, he was afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and he did not move forward, and the army was stationed in Jingling, and he did not dare to go any further.
After Liu Ze destroyed Liu Pan's cavalry, he immediately swung his army south, gathered all the main forces of the First and Second Legions, and launched a final offensive against Huang Zu in Xiakou. (To be continued......)
