~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Guan Yu failed to challenge, but was angry with high blood pressure, but the third brother had another task, so he couldn't get out of this bad breath for him, so he had no choice but to go back depressed. However, his amazing sword also left a deep impression on the Dragon Wolf Army, and the barbarian battalion even let out a cheer.

Le Jin was also secretly surprised, if he dared to fight, Guan Yu would kill him with the power of this sword, and he would definitely not be able to stop it. In addition to being afraid, he also worshiped the lord even more - such a powerful general was killed by the lord and fled for his life, I really don't know how to do it.

If you can't go it alone, then there will only be a battle.

Because they are separated by a river, they cannot open the battlefield, and the two armies are faced with the question of whether you will fight or I will fight you. Undoubtedly, playing defensive counterattacks has more physical strength (I don't move when the enemy moves) and home advantage.

The Cao-Liu coalition army had the advantage of strength, and had a secret plan, for fear that the confrontation would last too long and would be noticed by the enemy, so he decided to take the initiative to attack.

The wooden bridge was cut in half by Guan Yu, and the servants were first sent to cut down the wood, repair, reinforce, and widen it. Next, the infantry army was dispatched.

The two armies of Cao and Liu each invested 1,000 troops at one time to form two army formations. The main player on the left will be Han Hao, and the main player on the right will be Guan Yu. The drums of war were raised, and thousands of troops marched forward.

If Lejin's purpose is to defend against the enemy and wait for backup, then he only needs to send an army of 100 people to block the bridge. If you drag it out for a day or two, you can wait for the convergence of the rear army of Gaolan, and then you can concentrate your forces on a showdown with Cao Liu.

But Lejin knew Cao Cao's military methods. With such a conventional style of frontal pushing, it is difficult to achieve big results. He came here not to confront Cao Liu, and he didn't have to fight a few battles to finish the matter. He must prove to all the officers and soldiers of the Dragon and Wolf Army with a big victory that he can become the deputy commander of the Southern Expedition, not by following the lord early enough and being old enough, but by daring to fight tough battles and having real talents. Let the enemy army go. Gather and annihilate. Defeating Cao Liu first, and then intercepting Sun Quan is Lejin's plan.

The footsteps rumbled, and the armies of Cao and Liu crossed the bridge. The foot soldiers began to line up, and the auxiliary soldiers arranged to resist the horses. Liu Bei also handed over the 100 white cavalry to Guan Yu and merged the 150 white cavalry. This cavalry, which was mixed with Karasuma, Xianbei and other Hu people, as well as the Qing and Xu Han armies, was very familiar with the cavalry tactics in the Youliao area, so as to prevent the dragon and wolf from riding fiercely. The formation of guards and foot soldiers is the most suitable.

Le Jin began to give the first order: "Dragon and wolf bow and ride, go out of battle." ”

Two hundred and eighty dragon wolf archers rode out.

"Your task is to divert all the enemy horsemen. Remember the principles of wolf pack warfare - hold the opponent, stick to the opponent, drag the opponent, and destroy the opponent! ”

"No!"

More than 280 horsemen came out of formation. Roll up the smoke and dust in the sky and rush towards the enemy formation.

One hundred and fifty cavalry soldiers immediately met and refused, and the one who commanded this cavalry was Guan Yu's eldest son. Guan Ping.

Guan Ping was in his early twenties, quite young, in fact, he had already joined the army. He has always served as the governor of Liu Bei's account (equivalent to the captain of the guard), and rarely leads the army. This time Liu Bei deliberately handed over the elite cavalry to his command, Guan Yu was originally opposed, but Liu Bei insisted on appointing him, and finally persuaded his brother with three rhetorical questions: "I also know that Tan Zhi is still young and inexperienced, but isn't experience just to fight?" Think back then, at this age, didn't you and my brother also hold a prancing horse and attack the yellow scarf? What's more, will we still be available? ”

Guan Yu was speechless, yes, are they still available? Since the eldest brother trusts him, let him show how many bowls of dry rice he can eat.

It also makes sense for Liu Bei to let Guan Ping command the Bai Yu soldiers, because Guan Ping is his subordinate general (if it weren't for Ma Han's horizontal insertion, this position would have been Chen's), and he commanded the Bai Yu soldiers, and he was quite familiar with the tactical combat power of this cavalry, and his command was unhindered. If you change to another one, it's really not as good as him.

Guan Ping looks quite like his father, except for the lack of a beautiful hair, even the color of the mount and the weapons used are the same as his father, so you can imagine his admiration for his father. Guan Pingchu took over the important task, and while he was excited, he also secretly held his breath, he must play his own level, which impressed his father and two uncles.

Guan Ping was originally most worried that the enemy cavalry would not move, and the battle would be fruitless, but at this moment, when he saw the enemy cavalry rushing towards him, he was not surprised and rejoiced, and raised his long knife: "Bai Yu Ruishi, meet the attack!" ”

The enemy cavalry was almost twice as large as his own, but Guan Ping was not afraid and took the lead.

The two cavalry rolled closer, and when they were about to collide violently, the dragon wolf archers turned in unison and flew to the right. Nearly 300 horsemen, the horses were folded, not chaotic at all, the movements were neat, and none of them left the team. It is not only pleasing to the eye, but also shocking.

The dragon wolf archers did not simply turn to avoid the white soldiers, when they folded, they raised their bows at the same time and shot arrows at the enemy horsemen.

Airplanes! A rain of arrows, like dark clouds, pressed down on the top, and went under the hood of the white soldiers.

The more than ten white soldiers who rushed to the front were all hit by arrows, falling into the dust, and the comrades behind them rode to avoid it. Even so, there was still no time to dodge, and the four hooves stepped down heavily......

The dragon wolf arch and arrow attack was not more than one wave, and in the short time that passed by, everyone shot no less than five or six arrows, and some even shot a series of arrows.

If you look down from the air, you can clearly see that the dragon wolf archers and white soldiers at this time just form a "T" shape. The dragon wolf archer is that horizontal, and the white soldier is that vertical. This also happens to be an allusion to the naval battle to seize the "T" prefix. This kind of fan attack can maximize the power of the archers, and can strike at the enemy cavalry from multiple angles, making it difficult for the enemy cavalry to take care of one or the other, and it is difficult to protect it thoroughly.

At this moment, the first half of the white soldiers were all shrouded in "dark clouds".

The screeching sound of the arrows is terrifying. Even though the white soldiers were prepared for the wolf cavalry galloping tactics, and everyone did a good job of raising their shields and shrinking to dodge postures, the horses with the arrows jumped so that the knights could not make effective defensive actions at all, and the arrows that could have been dodged ended up falling on their bodies......

Guan Ping rushed to the forefront, and naturally he was also extra "taken care of", with at least a dozen arrows falling on his body, half of which were blocked by the dancing knife and shield. Half of them are firmly inserted. Fortunately, Guan Ping is Liu Bei's personal general, and he takes special care of it, and the texture of the armor is quite good, which is a rare scale armor in Liu Bei's army. The arrow penetrated through the armor, and the kinetic energy was exhausted, only the flesh and skin were injured, and there was no serious problem. But his white soldiers are miserable.

The dragon wolf archer's riding skills and arrow attack were quite beautiful, and Guan Ping, who had never had experience in fighting with the dragon wolf warrior, suffered a big loss as soon as they met each other.

Guan Ping doesn't have to look back. Just by looking at the momentum of this arrow, and the neighing of the horse by the person with the ears, you know that this is a big loss. He no longer dared to and did not care about calculating the losses, and like the angry Bai Yu soldiers, he launched a rampage mode against the dragon wolf archers.

Pursue!

Billowing smoke and dust, you chase me, arrows come and go, it is difficult to distinguish.

Le Jin watched with satisfaction that all the enemy horses were led away, and then gave a second order: "Dragon Wolf Light Horse." Sortie. ”

About 150 dragon wolves rode out of the battle on prancing horses and rushed towards the Cao Liu coalition army that had been arrayed.

The two armies of Cao and Liu had 2,000 foot soldiers, and each formed a simple, fast, and effective defensive permanent formation-a circular formation.

Back to the water. Shields on three sides can effectively prevent cavalry assaults, and at the same time, it is also effective against cavalry galloping. Dragons and wolves are famous for riding all over the world, especially good at riding to break the formation. This. Cao Cao knew it as early as Xuzhou, and many of his military generals had seen it, so he was quite wary of this.

Really. The dragon wolf light rider was divided into two, each striking a wave, and also greeted with a bow and arrow.

The reason why the dragon wolf light cavalry is a "light horse" rather than an archer is mainly because their archery skills are slightly inferior to the archer cavalry, including the accuracy, rate of fire, skills, etc., all of which are inferior. But in terms of dynamics, it's not bad. So they can also shoot at seventy or eighty paces, as for the target...... Anyway, a large group of people, whoever they shoot is whoever they shoot, and they don't have to worry about finding a target.

At the same time, the archers of the Cao-Liu coalition army were not to be outdone, and drew arrows and raised their bows one after another, returning the color. In terms of range, the two sides are about the same, if you can shoot me, I can get you. But compared to the two, these archers still suffer a lot - the loss is that they are fixed targets, and others are mobile targets. And the smoke and dust are billowing and you can't find the target at all, which is similar to blind shooting.

Guan Yu and Han Hao soon found that the archers were obviously suppressed, and the enemy horses galloped back and forth outside the formation, and the archers were killed and wounded. This is really not good for the arrow. Immediately ordered the archers to withdraw, and the sword and shield soldiers were on top, and the shields were stacked on top of each other, shaped like a shield wall. At the same time, the whole array contracted, like a tortoise shell.

Sure enough, in this way, the arrows of the enemy rider could not penetrate the wooden shield, and they ran back and forth a few times, wasting a lot of horsepower and arrows, with little effect.

Seeing this, Le Jin sneered: "Is it useful to set up a turtle formation?" ”

The banner shook frequently, and more than 100 dragons and wolves rode lightly on Qile horses, roaring, and riding back.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei on the other side of the river secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, and they wiped the beads of sweat from their foreheads together, truly experiencing the horror of large-scale galloping. The Youliao cavalry is really majestic in the world, no wonder Gongsun Zan can dominate for a while, and even Yuan Shao has to avoid its edge.

As soon as the two of them put down their hanging hearts, they saw the dragon and wolf light cavalry passing in front of the formation like the wind, and at the same time reached out and took a vertical leather bag from the hands of a group of heavy armored cavalry, put it on the saddle, and killed it again without stopping.

What is that leather bag? This thought had just come to mind from the hearts of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Han Hao, and more than 100 dragon and wolf light horsemen had been killed.

Without the threat of archers, the cavalry was already able to rush close twenty or thirty paces, flying in front of the enemy's formation, and in the midst of the smoke and dust, suddenly a piercing scream sounded, and countless javelins appeared from the smoke, like locusts flying in the sky, and pounced on the stubble "crop"

Puff puff! The shield burst, blood burst out, the sword and shield soldiers screamed, and the shield wall collapsed and disintegrated at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, in just a few dozen breaths, the defensive layer formed by the entire three layers of sword and shield soldiers broke and shattered like a piece under the powerful heavy javelin blow.

The dragon wolf light rode back and forth in just a few times, and the two circular formations that contracted like turtles were shattered into solid shells, revealing "tender meat", and they were unabashedly exposed to the iron hooves...... (To be continued......)
