Chapter 178: The Chinese Army is defeated
In this way, Tai Shici also led 30,000 elite soldiers and took the lead in attacking. Moreover, these 30,000 elite soldiers are all cavalry. It is also Soochow, the only cavalry.
Tai Shici's 30,000 cavalry pioneered first, and Pang Tong quickly got the news.
But Pang Tong was not particularly familiar with the generals of Eastern Wu.
Therefore, Pang Tong sent Hou Cheng to intercept it.
Hou Chengnai is one of Lu Buyuan's eight strong generals, and his status is quite high now.
Similarly, in order not to weaken the prestige of the Chinese army, Pang Tong gave Hou Cheng 30,000 cavalry.
In Pang Tong's view, 30,000 against 30,000, with the military strength of the Chinese State, can definitely crush the cavalry of Eastern Wu.
Similarly, Pang Tong also transferred a more powerful army to Qian County.
Because Sun Shangxiang is Lu Bu's princess, Lu Bu is too affectionate and righteous. If killing Jiangdong is too ruthless, I am afraid that it will make Sun Shangxiang and Lu Bu unhappy.
But Bashu is different here, it doesn't have anything to do with it, that is, just kill at will.
Soon, Tai Shici and Hou Cheng came face to face.
Obviously, the Chinese cavalry is full of tall horses. All kinds of horse harnesses are all of the best wear.
And although the Dongwu war horse does not look weak, it is a little shorter.
It's just that the harness is not high-tech, and Lu Bu has been here for so long, so Dongwu has naturally learned it all.
Therefore, in fact, the gap between the armaments of the two sides is no longer obvious.
Lu Bu has a big longbow here, and Jiangdong also has it.
Tai Shi Ci fought single-handedly, and he was named to challenge the main general.
It's very simple, he is the most popular fighting general in the Three Kingdoms era.
was provoked, where can you suppress your temper.
So, this is to go out on the spot to fight.
Because he has high-grade protective clothing and has a guarantee in his heart, he dares to skip the level and go heads-up.
However, after only a few rounds of fighting, Hou Cheng felt a lot of pressure.
It's too Shi Ci, too fierce.
Knowing that if he continued like this, he would definitely die, so Hou Cheng had to retreat on horseback.
Tai Shi Ci chased after him for a while and had to retreat.
If you rush up again, you will definitely be surrounded by the opponent's army, and even shot by the whole army.
But if you wait for success, you will greatly boost your morale.
The Eastern Wu soldiers, who had long been aggrieved, finally raised their eyebrows and praised them in various ways.
As the main general, Hou Chengdu was defeated, and the morale of the Chinese army would naturally be affected.
Since there is no longer a fight, then the whole army will be killed.
Both sides exchanged shots for a while, and both had large longbows, which were both damaged.
But in general, it was the Eastern Wu soldiers who suffered more casualties.
Because of the protection of the armor, Dongwu is a level away from Huaguo.
Seeing that this was not the way to go, Tai Shici had to order the withdrawal of the troops.
Similarly, Hou Cheng did not dare to chase.
The other party has a longbow and is difficult to chase. The second is that Hou Cheng was scared by Tai Shici and didn't dare to go up for a while.
After all, the number of Chinese troops is not large, and it cannot be doubled by the enemy, and the battle damage is quite large.
Such a military strategy is also inconsistent with Lu Bu's thinking.
In this way, the two sides began to set up camp, ready to find another way to defeat the other.
Unexpectedly.
Tai Shici, who was bent on winning the first victory for Eastern Wu, didn't think about holding it for a long time, this was to take advantage of the opportunity to attack the army while he was waiting to camp in Cheng.
This is the advantage of cavalry.
And Hou Cheng couldn't prepare, and was killed by Tai Shi Ci in an instant.
What's even more annoying is that Tai Shici recognized Hou Cheng, which directly tied Hou Cheng to his knees.
And the Chinese army, which lacked a first general, lacked command and showed even more defeat.
If it weren't for the fact that the battle clothes worn by everyone were stronger than those of Eastern Wu, I am afraid that the army would have perished long ago.
Fortunately, the Chinese military and soldiers have a very high ideological awareness. Even if there is no main general, he can still fight.
There are no main generals, there are adjutant generals, there are no adjutant generals, there are partial generals and commanders and the like.
In short, as long as he is a leader, he can effectively command the soldiers.
In the end, 30,000 Chinese cavalry and 20,000 escaped defeated. Of the remaining 10,000, 5,000 killed and 5,000 wounded. And the wounded soldiers were all captured by Soochow.
Its purpose was not that the Eastern Wu soldiers were kind, but that Tai Shici wanted to exchange for Gan Ning and the soldiers who had been captured by Hua before.
Similarly, although the battle was ultimately won by Soochow, Soochow still paid the price of nearly 10,000 casualties.
This is also a pyrrhic victory.
However, in the end, it was still won.
Tai Shici defeated the invincible Chinese soldiers, how did not it greatly boost the morale of the Eastern Wu soldiers.
After Sun Quan's deliberate hype, the originally low morale and morale of the army instantly rebounded a lot.
For example, it can be said that the enemy army was completely destroyed, and the enemy's main general and tens of thousands of prisoners were captured, and so on.
And the battle losses of the Eastern Wu soldiers can naturally be said to be only two or three thousand.
Such a big victory is not a great boost to the morale of the army.
Similarly, Sun Quan also learned from Lu Bu and immediately rewarded Tai Shici.
This is to take advantage of a wave to win the hearts of the army and the people, and the rewards and punishments are clear, this is the Ming Jun.
The battle report was transmitted back to Xiapi, and Pang Tong couldn't help but feel solemn.
Although Lu Bu has long confessed that fighting will no longer be the mainstream of future wars, this era is still thriving!
If a direct order is given not to fight the generals, the blow to the morale of the Chinese nation will be quite serious.
In other words, you don't even dare to fight, and everyone turns on the taunting mode to scold you for not planting in front of the battle, how can your military morale not be affected.
And now, Huaguo is facing the embarrassing situation of having no generals available.
Because the generals with strong martial arts have already gone on an expedition.
No, let Lu Bu, the emperor, go into battle again!
Hehe, let the emperor charge into battle, then the face of Huaguo is gone.
Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan will all march in person, but none of them will charge at the front line.
This is the first priority of the Lord, and if even the head is dead, then the group must be dispersed.
At this point, no one can surpass Liu Bei.
In the early days, no matter where Liu Bei went, he would definitely follow Guan Yu and Zhang Fei at any time.
If it weren't for that, Liu Bei wouldn't have known how many times he would have died.
In terms of danger perception, Liu Bei can definitely rank first.
Once he sensed the danger, Liu Bei was definitely the first to escape.
It is precisely because of this awareness that Liu Bei has saved his life again and again.
On the contrary, at this point, none of the candidates on all sides did a good job for Liu Bei.
For example, Cao Cao, although he is not dead, has put himself in danger several times.
And Lu Bu is not to mention, how many battles, Lu Bu did not charge at the front and kill the enemy general.
This kind of practice of disregarding one's own safety is not advisable.
Tai Shi Ci's soldiers are in full swing, and how to face it next. If we can't get back to 10% as soon as possible, the morale of the Chinese country will be seriously hit.
Similarly, after Lu Bu got the news, he couldn't help but be silent.
Thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one will be hard to find!
Although Lu Bu has set up a military academy, talent training is a matter of one day.
After all, it is not yet a fully modern hot-weapon war, and cold-weapon warfare is still the mainstream. Therefore, generals with strong martial arts play a considerable role in cold weapon warfare.
Even with thermal weapons, it's the same, in this troubled world where heroes are worshipped. Warriors with high martial arts and brave battles will be admired and supported by soldiers.
was defeated by Eastern Wu for a while, which made Lu Bu very annoyed, and he couldn't help but want to go to the battlefield in person.
Lu Bu believes that as long as he appears on the battlefield, the morale of the Chinese country will be greatly improved.
But not yet, at least let the Bashu army continue to go north.
If these troops are not consumed, the goal of consuming Liu Bei will not be achieved.
At the same time, there are also a number of conspirators behind the scenes, and Lu Bu has not yet found out.
At the same time, after Pang Tong consulted with everyone, he finally made a further strategy.
That is.
