Chapter 170: Unlucky Ji Ling

The cavalry of the Central Plains Dynasty generally cannot fight alone without the infantry! The reason for this is that the Central Plains Dynasty has always lacked horses and could not provide so many horses to the cavalry!

Standard, cavalry that can run long distances, can leave the infantry for a long time and fight alone, each soldier must have three horses! A walking horse, a pack horse, a war horse!

Walking horses are used for transportation, that is, horses that knights usually ride! Pack horses are used to carry things, and the horses must be loaded with daily necessities for the cavalry for ten days or more, such as water, such as dry food, etc. And the war horse is what we usually say, the horse that the cavalry rides when fighting!

Genghis Khan's expedition to Khorezm, as well as the rest of the Mongol expeditions, each knight was equipped with five or more horses to carry more daily necessities! Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to expedition to Mobei, with less than 100,000 soldiers and more than 200,000 horses! These are all the same reason, in order to be able to carry more necessities of life.

This is also the reason why the cavalry of the Central Plains Dynasty often can't beat the minority cavalry! In the final analysis, in addition to the factor of riding, it is not that people's physical fitness is not good, but that there are not enough horses to carry too many daily necessities at one time! That is, it is often said in the navy that the endurance is not good!

Gossip and get down to business!

Yuan Shu, in order to completely eliminate Liu Bei, can be regarded as a bloody investment!

He had no more than 20,000 cavalry in his hands, but he sent 10,000 at one time, and in order to pursue the speed of chasing Liu Beijun, he still had two horses per person!

However, there are pros and cons to everything!

10,000 people go out on a campaign, but there are 20,000 horses, and when people go out to fight, the horses can't go unwatched! So, at such times, one out of every ten people is often left to watch over the horses! This is the reason why Ji Ling has 9,000 people under his command, but only 8,000 people participated in the war! It's not that he doesn't want to send everyone up, it's that he has to leave some people to take care of the horses!

But the people who can take care of the horses are always in the minority!

When the 2,800 elite cavalry led by Lu Bu rushed out of the reeds, they immediately divided into two routes! One route was led by Xia Yu and went straight to the place where Ji Lingjun parked his horses. On the other hand, led by Lu Bu, he came straight to Ji Ling, who was retreating!

The soldiers of the Ji Ling Army who were guarding the horses suddenly felt a chill in their hearts when they saw nearly two thousand cavalry coming straight towards them! They have less than a thousand men, and they have to take care of as many as 10,000 horses.

Needless to say, the result is a torture! In less than a quarter of an hour, Xia Yu and others achieved the record of killing 500 enemies and capturing 300! And their own casualties are less than a hundred!

Xia Yu laughed, and after leaving a hundred people to guard the prisoners, he looked at the boundless horses, his eyes were red with excitement, and he shouted: "Brothers, go and catch the horses!" ”

He didn't pay attention, his voice, because of his excitement, had already changed tone, and it looked extremely ugly! But his brothers didn't pay attention, and in their eyes, there were only tens of thousands of horses! All the horses in their own army combined are not as many as they are now!

They shouted and galloped away to the horses!

Let's talk about Lu Bu, after Lu Bu rushed out, he found that Ji Ling was still attacking!

Lu Bu was Lu Bu in the end, he accurately judged the situation, and immediately ordered the sergeants to trot with their horses and circle around a circle!

They are involved in the battle at this time, and they are likely to be accidentally injured by their own people! The bolts are only fired at certain areas, but it doesn't matter if you're your own or an enemy! And Ji Lingjun will be out of battle at any time, in order to be able to participate in the battle as soon as possible at that time, he chose this strange method, which can make the backers always have a certain speed, so that they will not start accelerating again when the battle comes, which will delay the fighters! Moreover, the speed he chose, combined with the exquisite riding skills of his subordinates, would not affect the horse's physical strength too much, and would not reduce their combat power! …,

Lu Bu doesn't have to toss so much, his red rabbit horse is extremely fast, it doesn't have to be like this!

At this time, he rode a horse and stood between the place of the battle and the place where the warrior turned around, observing the situation on the battlefield!

At this sight, he was suddenly surprised!

While he was watching, a dark cloud flew up from Liu Beijun! Based on his experience, he immediately judged that it was a feathered arrow! However, this arrow is too much, right? There must be tens of thousands of feather arrows, right?

The dark cloud rose up, paused in the sky, and then began to fly down!

And what surprised him the most was the landing point of that dark cloud! Horizontally, about two hundred steps, vertically, he remembered that Tian Fan said, it was one hundred and fifty steps! Almost all of the feathered arrows will land in this area, and a few will fall outside this area!

After this rain of arrows, followed by a rain of sparse arrows, it seems that there will be about two thousand! After this sparse rain of arrows, there will be another equally sparse rain of arrows, and the next time, it will be the kind of arrow rain that is as many as 10,000 and overwhelming!

Every time, after the rain of arrows landed, a large number of people and horses would be heard! Although Lu Bu couldn't see where the arrow landed because of the yellow smoke, he could completely imagine it!

The dense arrows, like a large net, caught almost all the centaurs who wanted to pass through the death zone!

Lu Bu, this iron-like man, saw such a scene, and his teeth were a little cold!

Tian Fan, this person, is so powerful? Lu Bu had just seen Tian Fan's 300 personal guards a few days ago, dealing with Hou Cheng's 3,000 soldiers, and at this time, he saw the crossbow battalion that he created with one hand and provided training methods with one hand, he only felt that Tian Fan was becoming more and more mysterious, and he was becoming more and more incomprehensible!

In the blink of an eye, he was only deeply grateful to Tian Fan! Not to mention Ji Ling's cavalry, even his own cavalry, under the cover of feather arrows of this density, he is also a scum! No wonder Tian Fan persuaded himself to take refuge in Liu Bei, but fortunately he listened to him! If not, when we meet on the battlefield in the future, I am afraid that I will die very ecstatic!

It didn't take long, that is, the time of half a pillar of incense, and the more than 1,000 cavalry gathered by Ji Ling finally escaped from this purgatory from the side!

Lu Bu was waiting for this moment, and he immediately shouted: "Back Warrior, follow me!" ”

After shouting, he took the red rabbit with him, and the red rabbit suddenly began to accelerate! And the eight hundred bearers, starting with the man closest to him, turned their horses' heads and followed him!

Lu Bu controlled the red rabbit and didn't let it run too fast, otherwise, the eight hundred backs of the warriors would not be able to keep up!

The back warriors followed him, slowly, with the increase in the speed of the war horse, they also adjusted the formation, and finally, after running out of nearly a mile, and the speed of the war horse also reached a rapid speed, a triangular formation with Lu Bu as the arrow was completed!

Ji Ling was stupid, and was about to flee with more than 1,000 people, but he was bumped into by Lu Bu!

Ji Ling is very tired, but even if he is not tired, he is not Lu Bu's opponent!

It's just a round, and under Lu Bu Fangtian's halberd, his three-pointed and two-edged knife has already flown away! Before he came back to his senses, when the two horses were staggered, Fang Tian's halberd head was placed horizontally, and Lu Bu used the halberd as a beat, and slapped Ji Ling's side!

That Ji Ling only felt that his body had been hit hard, and his right arm clicked, as if it was broken! The pain in the heart had just reached his brain, and before he could make a sound, his huge body had already flown up!

This flight is a distance of about ten steps!

When he "poofed", fell to the ground in a very unsightly flat sand and falling goose style, and got up in severe pain, he found that half of his more than 1,000 people were gone! And his position is not an area of engagement!

It turned out that Lu Bu was intent on capturing him alive, and with a strong blow, he hit him on the side and broke his right arm, but he flew away from the battle area and was not trampled to death by the later war horses of the warriors! …,

Without waiting for Ji Ling to react, the remaining hundreds of Yuan Army knights had already surrendered on their horses!

Ji Ling's face twitched for a long time, and he said in his heart: What other face do I have to see the lord?

He gritted his teeth in hatred, pulled out the sword at his waist with his left arm, closed his eyes, and put the sword across his neck, ready to kill himself!

The sword was pulled horizontally, the skin had been cut, and the blood had flowed out, but I heard a loud roar, "I want to die, it's not that easy?" ”

He only felt a shock in his left arm, and the sword fell to the ground with a thud! Immediately after, a sharp pain came from the left arm!

Ji Ling opened his eyes and looked at it, but found that on his left arm, there was an extra feather arrow the thickness of a thumb...... At this time, the arrow was still trembling!

Ji Ling's eyes suddenly turned red! Who the is this, who has a grudge against my hands?

He stood up angrily, and when he raised his head, he found himself enveloped in a huge shadow!

That shadow is naturally Lu Bu riding on the red rabbit!

Lu Bu smiled and said, "You are my military merit, so I won't let you die!" Brothers, tie him up for me! ”

When several pro-soldiers heard this, they jumped off their horses with a grin, and prepared a rope to tie him, but when it was time to tie him, a pro-soldier scratched his scalp and said to Lu Bu: "Wenhou, he ...... Both arms are injured, do you still need to tie them? ”

Lu Bu: "Uh...... No, just take a horse and put him on the horse! ”

The feather arrows used by Lu Bu are specially made, as thick as an adult's thumb, and if one is hit, it is basically either dead or crippled! Just like Ji Ling now, his left arm was hit, and it is estimated that the bones of his left arm have been broken or cracked, at least injured! And the right arm was taken by his own Fang Tian painting halberd, this matter is neat......

Is it still necessary to tie up a wasted person?

Lu Bu shook his head, ignoring Ji Ling, who was glaring at him angrily, but looked at the prisoner he had just caught!

Eight hundred of them themselves, no more than fifty losses, more than three hundred enemies killed, more than six hundred prisoners, well, it's okay, enough for this! It's not in vain that I soaked in troubled waters for most of the day!

At this time, Liu Bei's army had a large number of infantry and had already begun to clean up the battlefield.

Lu Bu gave an order to the back warriors, and led two people to escort Ji Ling and rushed to the direction of the Chinese army.

In the Chinese army, Liu Bei and others couldn't hold back the excitement at this time! In a big victory, Yuan Shu's 10,000 cavalry was almost wiped out!

After Lu Bu arrived, he reported the results of the battle, handed over the military order, and asked about the news of Tian Fan and others.

Liu Bei couldn't be happy all of a sudden! He shook his head and said with some concern: "Until this time, there is still no news!" ”

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Lord, I'll lead eight hundred soldiers to go on a trip!" Maybe, it can help! ”

Liu Bei glanced at him, bowed slightly, and said, "Fengxian, if I don't allow you to go, you won't worry!" In this way, you take Xia Yu with you, there are more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, and you should have the strength to fight......"

As he spoke, Liu Bei looked at the position of the sun and muttered, "Maybe, it can still be in time!" ”
