There are many reasons for the large-scale stampede and escape of the Wei cavalry.

The Han army inflicted a lot of casualties on the Wei cavalry with the help of the Qiyue Array, which was the most important factor.

When the number of dead and wounded of the Wei cavalry was large, then they would naturally be afraid of the strange formation in front of them.

And when a large number of Han warships appeared on the Han River, the information brought by them also frightened many Wei cavalry soldiers.

This means that if they can't capture the Han army in the Qiyue Array for a while, then over time, the Han army can continue to obtain troops and ordnance from the rear under the cover of the Qiyue Array.

Even the Han army could set up a tent in the Qiyue Array and slowly fight a war of attrition with them.

This is the advantage of the infantry army, as long as the position is not breached, as long as there is support, then the war of attrition is the main course of their daily training.

Unlike the infantry army, the Wei army was a cavalry army, and it was also an armored cavalry army.

The mounted cavalry pays attention to the impact to win.

The training they have received since the day they formed the army has been a blow to the ground, and the so-called war of attrition is something they have never learned, or this is what they fear the most.

Under this kind of combat method that emphasizes quick battles and quick decisions, and under the situation that there is already a fear in the heart, once the Wei cavalry army charges at the beginning is discharged by the Han army in the Yueyue array.

Then it is completely predictable that the Wei cavalry, which rushed to the forefront, began to have a retreat mentality.

And when the Wei cavalry of the front army began to retreat back, the arc-shaped shape of the moon array once again became a nightmare for tens of thousands of Wei troops.

Because of the arc-shaped shape of the Moon Array, the encirclement formed by tens of thousands of Wei cavalry against the Han army was irregular.

In some places, there were many Wei cavalry, and in others, there were few Wei cavalry.

When a large-scale retreat occurred, the Wei cavalry, which had a large number of people, always wanted to flee to a place with few people, which was a subconscious reaction of people in panic.

But it was this reaction that eventually became the catalyst for the collapse of tens of thousands of Wei troops.

Some Wei cavalry may still be able to maintain some sanity under panic, but at present, tens of thousands of Wei soldiers are war horses under their crotches.

No matter how psychic a war horse is, it is just a beast after all.

In a dense and crowded environment, it is most likely to trigger panic.

Especially when the Wei army was knocked off the horse and made a miserable cry, this caused the panic of the Wei army's war horses.

In a panic, the war horses under the crotch of the Wei army began to run in all directions, and they even wanted to escape from the world in front of them more than their masters.

In this way, the collapse of tens of thousands of Wei troops could no longer be avoided.

Under the crowded collision, more and more Wei cavalry fell off their horses, and in the current environment, once a cavalry fell, it was basically a dead end.

The wails of countless Wei cavalry and the panicked neighing of countless horses sounded in the ears of more than two thousand Han troops.

More than 2,000 Han troops looked at the tragic scene in front of them, and all they could do was to strictly defend the formation.

Because the Wei cavalry has been defeated, there are still many Wei cavalry rushing towards the Yueyue array, for these disorganized Wei cavalry, Fu Wei calmly commanded the Han army to strangle them one by one.

But in this case, for the sake of safety, the Han army could not rush out of the Yueyue array to kill the Wei cavalry.

The current Wei cavalry is in a state of great chaos, if the protection of the Moon Array is lost, then those Wei cavalry who have fallen off their horses will be a lesson for the Han army.

What the Han army didn't know was that this scene in front of them would have happened on the banks of the Yellow River hundreds of years later.

"When the time comes, the dead accumulate."

But after all, the cavalry army is different from the infantry army, when the Wei cavalry on the periphery ran out, the Wei cavalry surrounded by their own comrades in the inner circle seemed to see the hope of life, and fled in all directions faster.

It's just that the Moon Array is already covered with the corpses of the Wei cavalry, and there is the shock of those Wei cavalry corpses, so now few Wei cavalry dare to run there.

Although the war horse under the crotch could bring an unusual high mobility to the Wei cavalry to flee, it was not long before there were fewer and fewer Wei cavalry on the riverbank.

Those who can flee have already fled, and those who can't have already fallen on the ground covered in blood and become a member of the "accumulation of the dead".

Not long ago, tens of thousands of Wei cavalry were rushing towards the Han army like a torrent that seemed to be able to tear everything apart, dense and terrifying, and seemed to be innumerable.

But now, with the large-scale rout of the Wei cavalry, from Fu Wei's sight, in the battlefield in front of him, the torrent has dissipated, and all that is left is sorrow.

Many of the corpses of the Wei cavalry were lying on the ground, and many of the corpses of the Wei cavalry had been changed beyond recognition, and under the trampling of tens of thousands of tall war horses, there were many shriveled places on the corpses of the Wei army.

There were also many horses left in the battlefield, who lowered their heads and lay motionless on the ground with their noses.

Seeing that the flattering behavior of the past could not arouse the caresses of their owners as before, the warhorses seemed to realize something.

So thousands of war horses raised their heads one after another, and screamed sadly to the sky.

The mournful screams mingled with the sound of the Han army's war drums, which were still ringing on the battlefield at this time, as if playing a send-off song for the dead Wei cavalry.

Countless pieces of blood flowed out from under the corpses of the Wei army, and then quickly converged along the terrain, flowing rapidly towards the feet of thousands of Han troops.

The blood that flowed from the corpses of the Wei army finally converged into a small river of blood.

The crescent-shaped moon array was watered by the blood river, like a blood moon upside down on the bank of the Han River, and the Han army on the boat felt blood boiling after seeing this scene.

The waning moon is stained with blood, and the hustle and bustle of the enemy army in the battlefield has passed, and only the war drums of the Han army are still beating.

And this feeling of blood boiling was felt most strongly in the hearts of the more than 2,000 Han soldiers who formed the Qiyue Array.

They were the ones who faced the attack of tens of thousands of cavalry of the Wei army, and of course they knew best the might that the Wei cavalry had brought to the table.

At the same time, they are also carefully selected by Guan Yu from the whole army to be good at fighting, and being selected by Guan Yu shows that they have fought a lot of bad battles.

But even so, at the beginning, when they faced the Wei cavalry roaring with unparalleled momentum, they still inevitably felt fear in their hearts.

But under Guan Yu's arrangement, they formed a kind of large array that had never been seen before.

Then with the help of this great array, they successfully won more with less, rode with steps, and achieved a task that seemed impossible to complete, which made their hearts not feel blood boiling?

It is not uncommon for a famous general to do it with the infantry cavalry, but it is enough to shock the world by defeating the world-famous northern cavalry with a difference of nearly ten times the number of troops.

This battle will surely be recorded in the history books for the ages, and they will be greatly honored.

After realizing this, thousands of Han soldiers who had just woken up from the joy of the great victory raised their lances in their hands and cheered.

After the tip of the lance stained with the blood of the enemy was lifted, the enemy's blood slowly flowed down the tip of the lance along the body of the lance, and the last little bit fell into the hands of more than 2,000 Han warriors.

The blood of the enemy is the best praise for the more than 2,000 Han warriors.

No matter how effective the Moon Formation arranged by Guan Yu was in this battle, if there were no more than 2,000 Han warriors who resolutely blocked the enemy, then no matter how good the formation was, it would not be effective.

When the cheers of more than 2,000 Han troops reached the building boats on the Han River, Guan Yu stopped beating the drums in time.

In the process of tens of thousands of Wei cavalry attacking the Qiyue array just now, the drumming led by Guan Yu, the general of the Han Dynasty, has not stopped.

It can be said that this majestic and heroic and continuous drum beat is the most important guarantee to directly boost the morale of the Han army in the great battle just now.

Everyone has a fear mentality, and since the Wei cavalry will be afraid of a large number of casualties, then the Han army will naturally do it.

But when the Han army was afraid, it was Guan Yu who personally beat the drum to boost morale, and it was Guan Yu who was timely

Many Han warships were brought in to serve as a firm barrier for the Han army on the shore.

If there was no Guan Yu, there might have been no Wei cavalry rushing forward, and many Han troops would have been so frightened that they had thrown away their weapons.

Install the latest version. 】

With Guan Yu's prestige in the army now, even if he specially appeared in front of the two armies, as long as the Han army knew that he was behind him, then the morale of the Han army would not be too damaged.

Guan Yu's current status in the Han Dynasty has long surpassed that of ordinary generals, and he has become the spiritual leader in the minds of the Han army.

And when he heard the cheers of the Han army on the shore, Guan Yu also realized that he had won this battle.

After realizing this, Guan Yu stopped beating the drum and threw the drumstick to the guards on the side.

But when the drumstick was taken off, Guan Yu immediately felt a feeling of muscle soreness, especially the arm that was seriously injured at the beginning.

Sensing this soreness, Guan Yu just waved his hand casually to dispel the soreness, and didn't pay too much attention to it.

If he had beaten the drums of war for a day in a row when he was young, he wouldn't have felt anything.

After throwing the drumstick to the guards beside him, Guan Yu strode to the female wall of the building boat and looked down.

When he saw a scene on the shore, he had a slight smile on his face.

And when Guan Yu stood on the edge of the female wall on the ship, the Han soldiers on the surrounding warships cheered happily like the Han soldiers on the shore after seeing Guan Yu's figure appear.

Although it was Fu Wei and Liao Hua who specifically commanded the battle today, the Han army knew that the commander who arranged the battle was their general Guan Yu.

And the reason why today's battle was victorious, but the reason why the Moon Array was able to appear in advance on the land of China hundreds of years ago was not Mi Yang, but Guan Yu.

In order for the Moon Array to be successfully implemented, the key point is not the chariot, but the key point to form the Moon Array is the terrain and the navy.

The chariot restrained the cavalry, which is recorded in many military books, and this method was also used by many famous generals.

However, the combination of chariots, naval forces, and terrain is all the factors that can be composed of the Moon Array.

If there was no Jingzhou naval army trained by Guan Yu and had strong combat effectiveness on both land and water, if Guan Yu did not have the absolute right to control the water of the Han River, then the Moon Array would not be able to appear in the world.

Therefore, even if the traverser Mi Yang knew that the Moon Formation was an excellent example of riding with foot, he had no way to replicate it when he faced the cavalry of the Wei army.

In the world, the only person who could learn from Liu Yu's moon formation to achieve a shocking classic battle example of cavalry with infantry was Guan Yu, the general of the Han Dynasty.

The armies of the Han Dynasty, Jingzhou is the strongest!

Listening to the continuous cheers of the Han army in his ears, Guan Yu did not show pride on his face.

Glory he already has too much, and he is happy with today's victory, but he is not complacent.

And the reason why Guan Yu is happy is that after today's battle, the Han army under his command can no longer be constrained by the Wei cavalry, there is also a very important reason.

For the second reason, Guan Yu immediately ordered the Han army on the warship to go ashore to clean up the battlefield.

Next, he was going to give a big gift to the enemies of the Great Han.

...

Because the battle that took place on the bank of the Hanshui River took place more than ten miles away from Fancheng, Cao Xiu, who was surrounded by the Han army in Fancheng, did not know it.

Even he didn't know about the "proud achievements" achieved by the Wei cavalry in the previous period.

Cao Xiu has only one idea now, that is, to hold on to Fancheng.

As long as Fancheng and Yancheng are not lost, then if it is delayed for a few months, Guan Yu will definitely withdraw from the army.

Although Jingzhou has just finished the autumn harvest this year, Jingzhou has been in constant war for the past ten years, and its population and fields have been seriously damaged.

Under such circumstances, how long can the grain harvested in Jingzhou in a year last for Guan Yu's army?

At most, it's only half a year.

Cao Xiu, as the second generation who was deeply appreciated by Cao Cao back then, his insight and talent

Naturally, it's not bad.

Although Cao Xiu's personality is more inclined to take the initiative, in the face of an opponent like Guan Yu, Cao Xiu chose to stick to the path of retreating from the enemy very rationally.

Just like his ancestor Cao Ren back then.

But when Cao Xiu was in the general's mansion in Fancheng, looking at Fancheng's defense map and carefully checking whether there were any omissions, Cao Xiu's military advisor Zhao Yan rushed in.

Cao Xiu saw Zhao Yan, who had always been regarded as a think tank by him, rushing in so eagerly, and he immediately realized that something big had happened.

Cao Xiu stood up, and before Zhao Yan could speak, he asked him eagerly, "Boran, but Guan Yu led the thief army to attack the city?"

Now Cao Xiu's main concern is this.

But for Cao Xiu's speculation, Zhao Yan immediately shook his head, but after shaking his head, the expression on Zhao Yan's face did not relax, but became heavier.

Zhao Yan hurriedly told Cao Xiu about the scene he had just seen on the city wall.

"Outside the city, the thieves have placed thousands of the corpses of our cavalry."

When Zhao Yan said this thing in a heavy tone, Cao Xiu's brain seemed a little dull for a moment.

Infantry vs. Cavalry?

Thousands of cavalry soldiers were killed?

After absorbing these two information points from Zhao Yan's words, Cao Xiu immediately blurted out:

"No way, absolutely impossible."

"This must be Guan Yu's plan."

As Cao Xiu, who had commanded the tiger and leopard cavalry back then, he knew well what the advantages of the cavalry were.

It is not surprising that Guan Yu has the ability to ride with foot, but if it is said that Guan Yu can kill thousands of his own cavalry with his infantry army, then Cao Xiu does not believe it.

The only one who can inflict equal damage on the cavalry is the cavalry.

Cao Xiu, whose old ideas have been seriously impacted, is now reacting very strongly.
