"There's an enemy attack!"

Liu Pan secretly screamed badly, but he didn't have the slightest hint of panic. Although Liu Pan is young, but he is a long-time good fighter, when he defended Changsha, he fought with the army of Jiangdong many times, repeatedly Kou Ai, Xi'an counties, due to Liu Biao's policy of seclusion and self-defense, Liu Pan's military action in Yuzhang eventually only became a nuisance, did not achieve substantial results, but Liu Pan's courage still brought a lot of trouble to the Jiangdong defenders, among the mediocre Jingzhou generals, Liu Pan was a standout in the cunning. The long-term career of fighting horses, but also created Liu Pan's unchanging character, the front encountered the enemy's secret attack, did not surprise Liu Pan, crossed the water, and entered the Xuzhou army controlled zhì sphere of influence, now the Xuzhou army is besieging Xiakou, will definitely send troops and horses to block.

However, Liu Pan was not worried at all, the total strength of the Xuzhou army to attack Jiangxia was only 40,000 or 50,000, even if some more men and horses would be transferred into Jingzhou in the future, but judging from the information currently available, it would not be too much, and most of the Xuzhou army was infantry, and the total number of cavalry in the formation did not exceed 10,000 cavalry, which made Liu Pan, who had 50,000 cavalry, have the idea of underestimating the enemy. With these 50,000 cavalry in hand, even if the Xuzhou Army sends 100,000 troops to come, it may not be able to resist it.

"Prepare to meet the enemy!" Liu Pan gave an order, and the Jingzhou cavalry, which had all crossed the water, quickly completed the formation, assembled it, discharged the formation, and waited for the battle.

Jingzhou's cavalry was all light cavalry, mainly lancers, supplemented by archers. The lancers were much less difficult to train than the archers, who were armed with a spear. During the battle, the tactical difficulty of launching an attack and smashing the enemy's battle formation is low, while the archers have high requirements for alignment due to the high requirements for alignment due to the arrows on horseback, and the difficulty of training is naturally much higher than that of the lancers. Due to the popularization of saddle stirrups, the cavalry of Jingzhou has also been equipped with a new type of saddle stirrups, the hands of the cavalry have been liberated, and the training of archers has gradually been implemented in the Jingzhou army, so the archers in the Jingzhou cavalry also occupy a certain proportion.

Liu Pan put the lancers in the position of rushing forward in the front of the formation. Prepare to advance and break through the opponent's position in the event of an engagement. The archers were lined up on both flanks to attack the enemy's flanks in a roundabout way, in line with the assault of the main lancers.

On the horizon, there seemed to be a sandstorm. The yellow dust in the sky soared into the sky. It's like a curtain barrier has been stirred up in front of us. Covering the sky and the sun, it was impossible to tell what the number of enemies was, but the Jingzhou army clearly felt the tremor of the earth. Liu Pan was secretly surprised, even if it was a galloping horse, it would not have such momentum.

Although Liu Pan was slightly surprised, but the other party's huge momentum further stimulated the arrogance in his heart, Liu Pan gave an order, personally led the lancers to launch a counter-charge, and rushed up against the turbulent yellow dust in the sky.

The power of cavalry lies in the impact force, relying on the strong inertial force to chisel through the opponent's defense line with speed, if the formation of a passive defense, the power of the lancers is much inferior to the sword and shield soldiers. So Liu Pan had no intention of sitting and facing the battle at all, as soon as he encountered the enemy's attack, and from the momentum point of view, the enemy discharged the cavalry formation, the cavalry engaged, the first strike, and then the people were controlled, Liu Pan immediately led the lancers to meet the enemy, wanting to rely on his superior forces to catch the opponent off guard.

But Liu Pan's wishful thinking failed, although he did not miscalculate the quantity of Xuzhou cavalry, but he miscalculated the quality of Xuzhou cavalry, because he was facing an unheard of cavalry - Lei Cai.

Zhang Fei personally led the 6,000 thunder cavalry of the 3rd Cavalry Division and the 4th Cavalry Division, and discharged a formation about three miles wide on the vast plain, and launched an attack on the position of the Jingzhou cavalry.

The sweat and blood of the tall horse, in addition to the four horse legs, the whole body is wrapped under the thick horse armor, the knight on the horse, is fully armed to the teeth, except for the two eyes, the whole body is covered under the thick armor, the left hand holds a strong shield, the right hand holds a sharp spear, even people and horses, the total weight has long been a ton away, a thunder horse, is a mobile fortress, equivalent to the heavy tank of the battlefield in later generations, in the late Han Dynasty cold weapon battlefield, That's definitely crushing a qiē's storage zài.

Zhang Fei shouted excitedly, this was his first battle since the establishment of the army, Zhang Fei, who had not fought on the battlefield for a long time, was enthusiastic at the moment, and personally led the troops to rush to the front line. Under the encouragement of Zhang Fei, the six thousand thunder riders also burst out of high morale, Zhang He, Wu Anguo, and Liao Hua generals all competed for the lead, everyone was brave, and the six thousand thunder horses were like a flood wave that broke the embankment, and the momentum was like a bamboo.

The two sides were originally separated by a long distance, from the beginning when the Jingzhou soldiers saw the attack of the Xuzhou army, it was at least ten miles away, but the two sides advanced opposite each other, and this seemingly long distance was only within a few hundred breaths It had already been narrowed to the front, and Liu Pan also clearly saw the thunder cavalry in the dust and smoke.

Rao is Liu Pan has been in battle for a long time, and he was also stunned by the scenery in front of him, in addition to the four horse legs, Liu Pan can only see a rough outline of a horse at best, and the knight on the horse can not be called a person, it is completely an iron sculpture, is this still a cavalry? Liu Pan is a black line, Liu Ze would actually make such a strange-looking cavalry, it is really unbelievable!

However, Liu Pan immediately realized the threat of the opponent's heavy armored cavalry, such a thick armor, even if his spear cavalry impacted, it was difficult to cause fatal damage to the other party, and his own lancer was wearing leather armor slightly thicker than a piece of paper, this poor defense ability was completely useless, vulnerable under the opponent's attack, if the two sides fought for defense, the battle had not yet been fought, I am afraid that it would have been lost.

Liu Pan made a quick decision, suppressed the offensive momentum of the lancers, and let the archers on the left and right flanks advance in a roundabout way, attacking from the flank of the Xuzhou heavy cavalry, and shooting at the heavy cavalry with bows and arrows.

The archers advanced lightly, and soon outflanked the thunder cavalry, carrying out long-range strikes with bows and arrows. For a while, the arrows rained like a rain, throwing them towards the front line of the thunder horse.

But to Liu Pan's considerable disappointment, the arrows shot by the archers had little effect, and they could not effectively cause damage to the thunder cavalry, and the thunder cavalry was still unabated, like a torrent, roaring and rushing towards the Jingzhou army's front.

The big attack of tens of thousands of cavalry, Liu Pan was completely too late to withdraw his troops at this time, Zhang Fei took the lead, brandished the Zhangba snake spear, screamed, and crashed into the Jingzhou military formation. The thunder cavalry behind him was like a black cloud covering the top, and pounced on the Jingzhou cavalry line with a thunderous momentum.

The horror and horror of the thunder cavalry were revealed in an instant, and the impact force brought by the weight of more than one ton after galloping at high speed was quite amazing, and the gun array formed by the Jingzhou lancers alone could not stop the terrible impact of the thunder cavalry. If the lancers were a, the Thunder Cavalry was a terrifying wave, and in just an instant, the levee completely collapsed. It was difficult for the spear rider's weapon to pierce the thick armor of the thunder rider, but the spear of the thunder rider easily slaughtered the life of the lancer, and one by one the lancer was pierced by the spear hole pierced at high speed, and fell under the horse screaming.

Here, the numerical advantage has become insignificant, the thunder cavalry is rampant, like a bamboo, crushing forward, this steel fortress, like a meat grinder, devouring a qiē, the entire Anlu battlefield, into a sea of blood.

Although Liu Pan is known for his courage and good fighting, at this moment, he seems a little powerless, because he doesn't know how to deal with these behemoths, and there is no way to crack the ready-made military book, and Liu Pan is also helpless. He shouted, and the spear in his hand struck out in anger, and a single shot pierced the armor of a thunder cavalryman. Although the armor of the Lei cavalry was heavy and thick, Liu Pan's strength was amazing, and he shot with anger, and his power was amazing, and he was directly pierced by him.

Liu Pan's spirits were greatly lifted, and he put down several thunder cavalry one after another.

When Zhang Fei saw it, he was furious, and he rushed straight over. (To be continued......)
