Chapter Ninety-Seven: Breaking the Formation
(The alliance is still strong, thank you so much!) The monthly tickets of book friends let Shifu Lang know that there are still many readers who are silently supporting, thank you! )
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ma Han was on the right flank of Yuan's army, with 5,000 Chinese troops in the middle, and at least three miles away from the left flank, if it weren't for the bright and dazzling colors of the Red Rabbit Horse and the lightning-fast gallop, he wouldn't have dared to be sure that the man and horse were Lu Bu. At this moment, he could only see a misty red light and shadow, like an arrow from the string, shooting into the cavalry.
Wherever the red shadow passed, the blood mist exploded, limbs flew sideways, war horses neighed, and strings broke and arrows snapped.
Ma Han saw it clearly, and it only took less than half a minute for Lu Bu to directly penetrate from the front of the formation to the end of the formation, and broke out of the formation. Hundreds of horsemen slaughtered, but they couldn't stop it, and after the bloody rain and bloody wind, the vigorous Hu cavalry was a little less than a third.
At this moment, the Tu people suddenly shouted in terror, and the cavalry scattered and fled.
Many people in Yuan Jun couldn't understand what Tu was calling, but Ma Han heard it clearly, they were shouting: "It's the Wuyuan flying general!" Kill God Lu Fengxian! Run! ”
At this time, Cheng Lian and Wei Yue, who were lagging behind in horse speed, led more than 20 iron cavalry to rush, and the bows, arrows, knives and spears were raised, and the arrows and spears were indiscriminately sharpened, and they shot and rushed together, killing more than 20 cavalry in an instant. The remaining forty or fifty horsemen slaughtered each of them, and their fighting spirit was lost, so they fled with their horses in tow.
Lu Bu was not in a hurry to catch up, but led twenty elite cavalry to surround the two hundred cavalry who attacked the headquarters and slaughtered each other. As soon as the two hundred cavalry slaughtered each of them and fought with the state army, they heard the exclamation of their companions behind, and then looked at the hundred cavalry companions, but they were killed in a moment. And the group of killing gods is outflanking. Frightened, the slaughterers scattered in all directions, fleeing like the wind. Rao was flanked by Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, and only intercepted more than 50 horsemen, killing all of them, and the rest fled. This is also the biggest problem in encircling and suppressing cavalry, and it is difficult to kill them all.
Tu Gehu originally belonged to the merged state, and no one knew the murderous name of the Wuyuan flying generals, and it may not be clear when they didn't fight (Lu Bu's general flag is useless to these blind people). Once they fought, the bloody reality set off by Lu Bu's signature Fang Tian Painting Halberd and the Red Rabbit Dragon Horse awakened the nightmarish memories of the Tu people. In terror, they scattered and collapsed.
Yuan Shao, who was looking upstairs, sighed: "What a Lu Wenhou, worthy of the reputation of 'flying general', he is really an enemy of ten thousand people!" ”
Zhang Hexiang, who was standing on the side, had a very high opinion of himself, even the skill of galloping left and right of Cheng Lian failed to impress him, but when he saw Lu Bu's bravery, he couldn't help but admire. Consider oneself inferior to another.
On the left flank, the state army quickly solved the threat of slaughtering everyone, while Jiang Qi's 200 cavalry on the right flank fell into a bitter battle.
The cavalry of the Yuan army was mostly light cavalry. Equipped with melee weapons such as spears and shields, ring knives and halberds, and Karasuma Hu cavalry was mostly a man who controlled the strings, and before the Yuan cavalry could get closer, he had already fired several arrows. Killed and wounded more than 30 cavalry of the Yuan army. Directly reduce the ratio of forces between the two sides to two-to-one.
But the Yuan cavalry also had an advantage, that is, their armor and weapons were much better than those of Karasuma Hu's cavalry. Moreover, there is a formation - more than 100 horsemen form a wedge-shaped formation with a sharp front and a rich back, the knight holds a shield in one hand and a spear in the other, although he keeps falling off his horse in the rain of arrows, but after carrying several rounds of arrow strikes, as soon as he gets close to Karasuma Huqi, it is like a giant arrowhead, which is fiercely inserted into the honeycomb, and the "swarm of bees" flies wildly.
"Die!" Jiang Qi stabbed quickly, killing two horsemen in a row, the spear was like a cone, and the tip of the spear pierced into the chest of the third Karasuma Hu Rider, due to excessive anger, he held the spear too tightly, and he couldn't let go, and his right arm was pulled by the countershock, which was hot and painful. Jiang Qi grinned, knowing that the arm tendons (ligaments) were strained.
At this time, the opposite side rushed to several horses, left and right from the horse to intercept and kill, one of them Karasuma Hu riding skills are excellent, control the horse left and right to dodge, avoid interception, and the sharp axe in his hand slashed towards Jiang Qi head-on. Jiang Qi gritted his teeth, barely raised his right arm, and raised his spear to attack. The enemy rider subconsciously flashed, and the moment the two horses staggered, Jiang Qi shouted, abandoned the spear with his right hand, pulled out the knife from his waist with his left hand, and cut off the wrist of the enemy horseman holding the axe with a single sword.
That Karasuma Hu rode loudly, and drove the horse away in pain, but in this killing place, a broken wrist is tantamount to abandoning the blade and empty-handed, and it may be able to escape from the siege, and in the blink of an eye, it was cut down and dismounted by the Yuan cavalry behind.
Jiang Qi didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, and suddenly his whole body tightened, and he was lassoed with a rope by Hu Qi, who rushed from a slanted stab, and Hu rode a gallop, dragging Jiang Qisheng off the horse and mopping the ground all the way. The cavalry of the Yuan army shouted and chased after them, but they couldn't catch up for a while.
Jiang Qi was dragged to the point that his armor was scattered, his skin was open, and he was furious, but he was so restrained that he couldn't move. Just as he was about to explode, he suddenly dragged on, and his body rolled over and over again with inertia. Jiang Qi gasped a few times and struggled a few times, but failed to stand up. Suddenly, the sound of hooves approached, and a familiar voice came into the ear: "Is Yiqu okay?" ”
Jiang Qi raised his head, but when he saw Gao Lan's square face and bloody spear, and then saw the Hu man who fell to the ground not far away, he immediately understood and said gratefully: "Fortunately, Uncle Yuan rescued him, I am really ashamed." ”
Gao Ran made a half-salute on the horse and said, "Please rest for a while, these Hu slaves will be taken care of by a certain person." With that, he knocked his feet on the horse's belly and led dozens of horsemen to rush towards the Karasuma people.
As soon as Gao Ran's new force joined, the Karasuma people could no longer support it and were quickly killed.
Just as Zhang Yan was considering whether to send another hundred horsemen to board back a game, the battle situation suddenly changed, and the person who changed the battle situation was Lu Bu.
After Lu Bu defeated Tu Ge's cavalry, he still chased after him, using his amazing horse speed to catch up with Tu Ge's scattered cavalry one by one, shooting from a distance and stabbing at close range, killing more than ten horsemen in a row, like a fierce tiger rushing into a flock of sheep. Don't say that it is the Montenegrin coalition army, but it is Yuan Jun's side, they are all shocked and shocked.
Lü Bu also because of this battle, in the Yuan army soldiers set up a great reputation, so that later Yuan Lü became evil, Yuan Shao sent troops to chase Lü Bu, but when the pursuers were about to catch up with Lü Bu, no one dared to approach, and finally saw Lü Bu go away. The power of the First World War is so great!
Just when the two armies were shocked by the ferocity of Lu Bu's pursuit and killing of the enemy's cavalry, no one paid attention to it, Lu Bu's single halberd had bypassed the right flank of the Montenegrin coalition infantry formation at this time, and was less than 200 steps away from the commander of the Montenegrin army, Wang Dang......
Lu Bu hung up his halberd and drew his big bow - only then did the Montenegrin army react.
The king should be a hundred horsemen. Fifty horsemen galloped around Daxu, raising yellow dust in the sky to obscure their vision, while the other fifty horsemen held spears and bows and pounced on Lu Bu.
Lu Bu was under the thick eyebrows like a pair of iron swords, his eyes were like ice, his legs were slightly loose, and the red rabbit horse sensed the master's intentions, and galloped slowly, and the hooves of the bowl-sized horses rose and fell every time. Full of rhythm. Lu Bu's whole person is integrated into this rhythm, the people and horses are one, and the bow and arrow are all open.
When the red rabbit horse jumped lightly again, Lu Bu's thumb was loose and tight! The strings are dragons, and the arrows are like meteors.
The fifty horsemen of the Black Mountain Army who rushed towards Lu Bu seemed to be staggered and wedged, and there were no gaps to penetrate, but this lightning bolt passed through the gaps between the buildings and the horses without any slight. Through the fleeting wall-like protection from the cavalry, it disappeared in a flash.
With a loud roar, the king fell in response, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
The Lord will fall. The morale of the infantry of the Montenegrin coalition army, which had lost its command, was greatly demoralized, and it could no longer resist it, and kept retreating, and the formation was crumbling.
Chun Yuqiong immediately seized the opportunity. Waving the flag and ordering the army to press in, the morale of the Yuan army's infantry was high, and the halberd flew and the spear poked. The Black Mountain Army fell to the ground one by one, and could no longer support it, and collapsed in an uproar.
The two wings of the Montenegrin coalition army rode out, and the arrows were like locusts, shooting nearly 100 Yuan army infantry, and restraining the Yuan army's offensive. Yuan Jun Mingjin withdrew his troops, and the Montenegrin coalition army did not dare to pursue, protecting the remnants of the defeated generals and slowly retreating.
In the chaotic battle behind, Ma Han didn't care anymore, he only had that amazing arrow in his mind.
Two hundred steps, through the human wall, one arrow.
This is the strongest arrow Ma Han has ever seen. Judging from the strength of this arrow, Lu Bu used at least a six-stone bow, which was comparable to his own leopard bow that day, and even surpassed, because the tension and storage of a riding bow were greater than that of a foot bow, and few people could match this arm strength in the world. If the strength is shocking, then Lu Bu's accuracy and prediction have reached an incredible level.
Ma Han asked himself that he definitely did not have such an astonishing prediction, and it was impossible to grasp the fleeting gap in an instant, which required many years of actual combat and talent to develop such a keen intuition. If it is replaced by himself, the same arrow is shot, it is estimated that he will have to wear a string of blood gourds, with super bow power, people block people, horses block horses, and finally shoot Wang Dang.
Lu Bu is a supreme martial art that combines strength and skill. And Ma Han has only one force to reduce the domineering of ten meetings.
What would happen if they shot an arrow? Ma Han didn't know, but there was a faint expectation in his heart. Of course, it won't be now.
While thinking about it, Gao Ran had already led more than ten horses back to his main formation, but he saw that he and the riders were all covered in blood, sweating heavy shirts, some armor and iron leaves fell off, some helmets were sunken, swords and spears in their hands were dripping blood, and there were six or seven heads with distorted faces hanging under the horse's neck, and the miserable white neck incision was constantly dripping with dark red blood beads......
Gao Ran led dozens of riders when he went, and only more than ten rode when he returned, and everyone was wounded and his armor was damaged, so it can be imagined that this short contact battle was tragic.
"Get ready!" Gao Ran's cold gaze swept over the soldiers under his command, "Wait for the lord's order and attack at any time." ”
The expressions of all the soldiers became nervous, and Ma Han even saw that one of the recruits in front of him couldn't control his incontinence because he was too nervous, and he soaked one of his trouser legs, and there was a smell of commotion in the stuffy air...... However, compared to the strong smell of blood on the face, this is not bad.
The Ten Wolf Riders slowly moved their feet, trying to protect Ma Han, but Ma Han raised his hand to stop him: "Everyone is in place, don't move, today's battle will end soon." ”
Ma Han's expectation was good, after a small confrontation between the Yuan army and the Montenegrin coalition army, they had basically figured out the opponent's foundation. The infantry of the Yuan army was slightly stronger, and the cavalry of the Montenegrin coalition army was brave. And the same cavalry, the Montenegrin coalition army controlled several times the Yuan army, but the cavalry of the Yuan army was better than the well-equipped, well-trained, and able to win with less strikes. On the whole, the two sides are evenly matched, and this battle still has to be fought, and it is by no means a short day or two to decide the winner.
As the sun sets, fiery red clouds roll over the waves in the west. The horn whined, one after another, and the Yuan army alternately covered the retreating army, and the same was true of the Montenegrin coalition army opposite.
Ma Han was about to turn around, suddenly seemed to have a feeling, looked back at the south, but saw that under the mountains and clouds, the red flame and the silver white man and a horse, standing on the high part of the hill, arrogant, with an indescribable loneliness of a master......
