Chapter Forty-Eight: No Regrets
The cavalry's action is light and flexible, gathering and scattering freely, a hundred miles for a long time, thousands of miles, and going in and out of the sea, so it is also called the clutch soldier.
From the Warring States period when it was used in the Central Plains, the advantage of cavalry was mainly reflected in mobility, rather than the impact of falling into battle and breaking the enemy. In the Han Dynasty, due to the large-scale application of cavalry in the war against the Xiongnu, the role of cavalry gradually began to extend.
By the end of the Han Dynasty, heavy cavalry had appeared to charge the battle. However, generally speaking, the main role of cavalry is still mobile warfare, and the infantry is still the main one to attack fortified positions.
And Gongsun Zhan's white horse righteous servant is a typical light cavalry.
The rider has only one leather armor on his body, and the horse has only a saddle bridle, and in a head-on confrontation, he may have the upper hand at the beginning, and once he loses speed and gets caught in a dogfight, he is inferior to the infantry.
This is also the source of Hu Zhen's confidence.
The White Horse Yicong's charge was also fierce, but it couldn't disrupt the chain of command - that thing didn't exist at all now, and Hu Zhen's orders could only be given to the few guards around him.
Although the formation of the Xiliang army was chaotic, its morale was extremely high, and after losing its command, it had fallen into a situation of fighting on its own. Bai Ma Yicong rushed in, and there was a certain chance of defeating the Xiliang army, but it was more likely that they would fall into a chaotic battle.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hu Zhen can gather some of the rebellious troops, and as long as he gathers two or three thousand people, he should be able to withstand the flanking attack of Tao Qian and the Hanoi army.
It may be difficult to win, and the casualties will definitely be large, but as long as he kills Wang Yu and repells Gongsun Zan and Tao Qian, Hu Zhen will already be satisfied. What else could he expect in such a situation?
However, although there is a plan, Hu Zhen still has hidden worries in his heart.
There was a lot of movement from Bai Ma Yicong, but except for the soldiers who faced them head-on, who discovered the crisis and began to regain their senses, the rest of the people remained the same.
The Xiliang army formation continued to shift to the right flank, and although the strikers had achieved a siege, they could not eliminate the target in the first place.
The target was still there, and the attention of the Xiliang Army would not be diverted, but continued to rush in the direction where Wang Yu was. In other words, as long as Wang Yu is still there, Hu Zhen will not be able to control the army, even if the charging of the White Horse Yicong cannot work, the follow-up troops of the coalition army will also bring a huge threat to the Xiliang army.
"Kill him, kill him quickly! Let the herald be given! Let the archers release their arrows! If you die, you can also be a liege! This is the most correct decision made by Hu Zhen after the start of the war.
However, this order was given too late, and the archers of the formation had already been lost in the initial confusion. The man may not be dead, but most of the bows and arrows have been thrown away - that thing is heavy and obstructive, and it is not good for the pursuer, so why carry it on your back?
For Wang Yu, in the chaotic battle, there are not many more cold arrows, and there are many fewer cold arrows. He was already in the midst of a forest of spears and guns, and cold arrows or something, would they be more threatening than the knives and guns that were close at hand?
To survive a siege, the most important thing is speed.
Cavalry battle, must be constantly moving, can not really be surrounded, once really surrounded, there is no room for flickering, even if the strongest person, can not cope with the swords and guns stabbed from all directions, at least Wang Yu can't do it.
The reason why he dared to take risks was because of the black horse.
This horse, which made Chief Hu love like a treasure, lived up to Chief Hu's expectations, not only with excellent speed, but also full of stamina. Since the raid on Huaxiong, I have been running for so long, and I am still in good spirits, and I don't feel tired at all.
With the speed of the black horse, Wang Yu had the upper hand in the cavalry battle, the opponents who caught up behind and on both sides could not attack him, and the opponents who rushed up from the front could not stop him, although he seemed to be under siege, but there was no major crisis.
This is also related to the fact that the people who surrounded it were all cavalry, and the chaos was not formed.
If it is a column of infantry, even if it can't attack Wang Yu, it can attack the war horse, and Wang Yu will definitely not take care of it with one person and one gun.
It's relatively easy now, as long as he promises not to be blocked, he can support it.
Of course, if you want to fight your way through a group of red-eyed soldiers, you also need considerable bravery.
Martial arts are a must, this is a battlefield of real swords and real guns, the strong live, the weak die! However, if you want to solve the opponent quickly, you can't just have high martial arts, many times, you can only exchange injuries for injuries, and exchange injuries for lives!
Up to now, Wang Yu has more than 30 more unjust souls under his gun, and at the same time, there are more than 10 wounds on his body.
Even the Xiliang soldiers, who were carried away by the merits and lost their minds, were also shocked by Wang Yu's ferocity and had a short stagnation.
"Don't be afraid, he's alone, he's already injured so much, and he's not an iron-clad King Kong? What are you afraid of! The commander has an order, whether he lives or dies, he is a marquis! on, kill him! ”
The captain who gave the order to Hu Zhen had already rushed to the vicinity of the battle group, and when he saw that the forward man was cowering, but the momentum of the soldiers and horses that came after him was unabated, he couldn't help but be anxious, and desperately boosted the morale of the soldiers.
The effect of this encouragement was very good, and as soon as the fear of the cavalry was raised, it was suppressed, and their eyes were bloodshot again, and their fighting spirit was rekindled.
However, this move brought him a lot of trouble. I saw Wang Yu turn the horse's head and rush straight towards him!
This captain is also a veteran of the battlefield, but he doesn't have the courage of Wang Yu to ignore life and death. Wang Yu picked Hua Xiong and killed people like hemp in the chaos, how could he deal with this kind of opponent?
"He's coming this way, surround him, kill him!"
Without him having to give an order, the cavalry in this direction had already caught up.
In the Xiliang army, there are many soldiers, and in this siege, what makes them most depressed is not how strong Wang Yu is, but that the vast majority of people can't find a target at all and have been circling around the periphery.
There is no one to command and dispatch, Wang Yu's speed is fast, and he has been changing directions, in the chaos of the army, the difficulty of seeing him is not ordinarily high.
Of course, the danger is not ordinary!
The first cavalryman to rush forward, before he could raise his sword, threw it away, his hands covered his throat tightly, and blood spurted out from between his fingers.
The throat is relatively soft, and piercing it can immediately make the opponent lose combat effectiveness, and it is also easy to pull out, so this is Wang Yu's first choice.
However, not every opponent, like the first opponent, brandished his sword and exposed the empty door.
The second opponent is cautious. During the sprint, his spear was always flat, even if the distance was quite close, he refused to stab out easily, and his body was slightly bent, like a poisonous snake coiled up.
For this kind of opponent, Wang Yu's method is to break it with force!
He held the handle of the gun with one hand, and directly picked up the spear, like a long whip, with a sharp sound of breaking wind, and smashed it directly.
The Xiliang soldier was caught off guard, and barely blocked it with a horizontal spear, but found that there was a strong force coming from the spear shaft, which was completely irresistible, and even the saddle couldn't sit steadily, and even the person with the spear was smashed off the horse!
Wang Yu didn't look at the opponent who was rolling in the dust, and continued to swing his spear as a whip, firing his bow left and right, smashing over the two cavalrymen who had adjusted their speed and rushed up side by side, and faced the captain who gave the order.
Outnumbered, melee is his greatest guarantee, the existence of this captain may allow the Xiliang Army to restore a part of order and pose a fatal threat to himself, so this person must be killed!
"Kill!" The captain was timid at first, but after realizing that there was no way back, when he regained his courage, he urged his horse and met him directly.
Veterans who have been on the battlefield and experienced battles are just different! If it weren't for Niu Futai's waste, the Hanoi Army would have no chance of winning against such an opponent.
Now, though, your opponent is stronger, so you're only going to lose your life!
Close, grip, stab, whistling again!
In the cavalry battle, Wang Yu could not mobilize the strength of his whole body as he did in the foot battle, but he could use the power of the war horse! No matter how strong the manpower is, it can't compare to the power of the galloping horse, and Wang Yu's spear is more than twice as fast in the cavalry battle?
As many times before, between the two horses, Changfeng once again broke through the barrier of the armor leaf and drank blood! However, what was different was that the opponent's hands did not cover the wound in vain, but tightly grasped the spear in Wang Yu's hand!
"Hehe, kill Lao Tzu, don't you want to ......live," the captain struggled with a hideous smile.
What a thug! Wang Yu secretly praised in his heart, but he didn't dare to slack off in his hands, speed is life, the surrounding enemy riders saw that their weapons were blocked, and they were speeding up and rushing up, and the end of stagnation was only death!
"Drink!" Wang Yu rose up with great might, and in the sound of broken cheers, he directly picked the captain in the air, and the captain temporarily counterattacked, and the strength was very great, Rao was already provoked, his hands were still tightly gripping the barrel of the gun, and he shouted in his mouth: "Kill, kill him!" ”
"Kill!" The Xiliang army was greatly encouraged and fought desperately.
"Boom!" Wu Hu felt Wang Yu's heart, and let out a long hissing in the gallop, and the person stood up, making people turn in a strange direction, and the horse's hooves fell heavily. Following this momentum, Wang Yu mustered his strength and slammed the spear hard!
The huge inertia, far from being able to compete with the dying enemy, could no longer hold the barrel of the gun, and was thrown out of the situation, like a big sandbag, and smashed head-on on the two cavalrymen.
While smashing over the rider, the war horse was startled, forming a chaos, Wang Yu then rushed forward, the long front flashed, and stabbed several people one after another, and it was hard to kill a bloody road.
"Chase!" The ferocity of the Xiliang Army was completely aroused.
"Oh no, it's the east, he's going to run!"
"Don't let him go, kill so many of us, don't think about escaping!"
Wang Yu is indeed about to retreat.
His energy consumption is very large, especially the last moment, which seems to be majestic, but the burden on his physical strength is extremely great. However, the Xiliang army is more brave than at the beginning, and if it continues to fight, it will really become a battle to the death. This is not a war that needs to be fought to the death, and now this is enough.
Next, it's up to the allies to play.
Lonely among the hosts, this job is really not light! From the small to the big, the battle I encountered today is far from the legendary Nagasaka Slope, you can imagine what a hero the Nagasaka hero is!
I can't wait.
When he broke out, Wang Yu's heart was full of thoughts, and in the end there was only one conclusion: after this battle, the search for Zhao Yun had to be accelerated.
