The pigeon whistles and rides out of the reeds, a classic ambush battle, staged on the Gukou River.

Four thousand cavalry seems to be a lot, but it is not easy to directly defeat the Wei pawns. In order to defeat the 30,000 Wei army, Huo Jun divided the 4,000 cavalry into three armies, attacked the Wei soldiers from three sides, and left the west for the Wei soldiers to escape.

The task of breaking through the lineup of the Wei army head-on is not suitable for ordinary cavalry generals, and Huo Jun handed it over to Gao Xin. He led more than 1,000 heavy cavalry to rush directly into the Wei army, taking the chaos as the first priority, not allowing the Wei army to assemble and avoid falling into a struggle.

The flanks were given to the light cavalry, allowing them to cut off the Wei army from both sides, causing them to lose their ability to form a formation and fight. The rout was driven away and fled, causing the rout of the Wei army. The two generals in charge of the light cavalry are Huo Yuzhi and Ding Feng.

Huo Yuzhi, Huo Du's eldest son, has a temperament that follows his father, and is trustworthy and reliable. Huo Du guards Lu'an all the year round, and his eldest son fights in the army. If it is cultivated, it may not become a famous general, but it will not be a big problem to sit on one side.

Gao Xin led more than 1,000 people to trap the cavalry, like a thunderbolt, like a sharp blade, straight into the chaotic Wei army lineup. And the light cavalry on both sides rushed to the weak point of the Wei army, cutting off the communication between the various armies.

From the place where the charge was launched to the shade of the trees and the riverside where the Wei army rested, there was a road of ten miles, during which there was no rough terrain obstacle except for low trees and grass, which showed that the impact of the cavalry was exerted to the extreme.

The three-way cavalry was like a wolf and a tiger, and went straight into the battle.

Gao Xin was in the front, his eyes were through the beast-faced mask, and he held the horse lance with one hand, and instantly broke through the sentinels on the periphery of the Wei army and rushed straight into the phalanx of the Wei army.

Most of the Wei soldiers were not wearing armor because they were resting, and in a panic, they couldn't even find where their officers were. Before the horses in vests crashed into the crowd, the Wei soldiers scattered and fled.

There was a man who looked like a general in the crowd of the Wei army, who was quite courageous, riding on a war horse, slashing and killing two fleeing Wei soldiers along the way, trying to beckon the left and right foot cavalry to assemble, trying to entangle forces to stop the assault of the Han cavalry.

Gao Xin aimed directly at him, raised his lance to signal, and led the heavy horses to the left and right to rush towards the man. The cavalry charged with guns, and the cold glow of the horse lance bloomed. Between the two cavalry staggered, Na Wei will be directly poked by Gao Xin and knocked to the ground, and the subordinate foot riders will either die or flee, leaving only the neighing war horse.

This general is none other than Wei Jiang Zhuge Qian. Today, Zhuge Qian made the soldiers on the left and right both sad and hateful, but seeing that the Lord was about to die on the battlefield, the situation was not in his own, and everyone had to flee in a hurry.

In the chaotic crowd, some crossbowmen of the Wei army reacted and fired their bows at the Han cavalry who rushed into the formation, but because of the galloping speed of the cavalry, those sparse arrows either missed or became stray arrows and accidentally injured the friendly soldiers, almost without any damage to the armored cavalry in front.

The armored cavalry continued to charge, and everywhere it went, no one could stop it!

The Southern Han and Northern Wei Dynasty attached importance to bows and crossbows, while the Northern Wei Dynasty attached importance to armored cavalry.

But it does not mean that the Southern Han Dynasty does not have armored cavalry, in order not to fall into the disadvantage of the field battle, the Southern Han Dynasty always has more than 2,000 armored cavalry, Jianghuai has a horse farm and strategic location, Huo Jun has 500 armored cavalry, and most of the rest of the armored cavalry are in the hands of Liu Bei's Chinese army.

Huo Jun's 500 armor cavalry was often used in a centralized manner, assigned to the Qi Yu army, and commanded by Gao Xin, a Bohai man.

Gao Xin's body is slender, good at using long and short spears, and he has killed and injured many enemies when he enters the battle, and his left hand has taken out a short spear to control the war horse from the next plate.

"Rush~"

"Rush~"

Gao Xin continued to rush forward, and the left and right armored horsemen did not dare to fight, urging the horses to follow. Hundreds of armored cavalry were like meat grinders, tossing and killing in the crowd of the Wei army, and forcibly scattered many small teams that had been assembled.

The pigeon whistle was the trumpet, riding out of the reeds, and this sudden ambush made many grassroots soldiers unprepared for a big battle.

Now he was intercepted by the Han cavalry, and he simply thought that the heavenly soldiers had descended to earth, and he was terrified. Especially under the brave impact of the armored cavalry led by Gao Xin, coupled with the mutual spread of fear, the Wei soldiers and soldiers have been frightened by each other, scrambling to avoid the edge, which is devastating.

Gao Xinsuo led a cavalry stroke through most of the Wei army, and in the process of charging and killing, his saddle and armor were dyed red. Gao Xin was hit by three arrows, but fortunately, his armor was strong and only stuck in the gaps in the armor. A few stabs and spears, with the delay of scale armor, only small wounds.

And with the blessing of adrenaline, Gao Xin didn't feel the pain, but led the horse to turn the horse's head.

Taking a breath and resting for a while, Gao Xin glanced at the battlefield, but saw that the Wei army had a huge force in the sky at the moment, but it was like a long dragon that had been cut into small sections, unable to accumulate all its strength, and it seemed that it was only one step away from the collapse of the whole army.

"Huh?"

Gao Xin could see that Huo Yuzhi, who had broken into the military formation before, rode his horse and galloped like the wind, and the Wei soldiers almost fled. But now he was targeted by hundreds of Wei infantry cavalry, who commanded his cronies and tried to besiege Huo Youzhi in the formation.

Looking at the situation, Gao Xin didn't dare not go to support, and looked at the armored riders on his side, it seemed that there were less. These few people do not mean that they died in battle, but that the war was chaotic, and it was normal for them to be scattered after charging into battle.

"Let's go!"

Gao Xin lifted the reins and rode his horse, rushing forward.

Hundreds of horsemen with lances accelerated galloping, especially the overwhelming momentum, rushed towards the chaotic Wei army, and came to help Huo Youzhi.

Huo Youzhi is still young, and his meritorious service is earnest, unlike Ding Feng and Gao Xin, who give full play to the advantages of cavalry, and if they hit it, they will leave. In order to be greedy for merit, he wanted to use the light cavalry under his command to besiege and kill the Wei soldiers under the command of Chang Diao, but he organized several attacks, but failed to break up the Wei army, and his own side suffered many casualties.

The siege of Chang Diao failed, and the speed of the charge of the war horse was lost, Huo Yuzhi led the light cavalry to be seized by the veteran Chang Diao, and commanded the infantry to surround and kill the Han cavalry, trying to turn the tables against the wind.

"Captain, the armor is here!"

The attendant pointed in Gao Xin's direction and shouted loudly.

Huo Youzhi looked for prestige, saw the reinforcements, couldn't help but lift his spirits, pointed to Chang Diao again, and shouted: "A cavalry comes to help, follow me to fight!" ”

Huo Yuzhi was not a man without scheming bravery, taking advantage of the armored cavalry through the crowd and attacking suddenly, he led his troops to rush to the small part of the Wei army, preparing to attract the attention of the Wei army and help Gao Xin break the enemy.

"Let's go!"

Huo Youzhi led a light cavalry to the west, taking the lead like his father Huo Du, fighting hard, attracting two or three hundred Wei infantry cavalry.

Chang Diao sat on horseback, staring at the situation on the battlefield, with a particularly solemn expression. The current situation is far worse than he imagined, under the trapping of the Han cavalry, he can often see dozens of cavalry, chasing hundreds of Wei troops.

Today, he obeyed Cao Xiu's instructions and led his cronies to block the Han cavalry as much as possible to see if he could save the situation of the defeated army.

Of course, with Chang Diao's experience, he knows that the Wei army actually has little room for a turnaround. The sergeant left with his baggage, but he fought with the rest of the generals and cronies, and even some of the generals fled directly.

As for why Chang Diao didn't withdraw, it was mostly because of Cao Xiu. Cao Xiu, as a general, if he abandons him, he will be impeached when he returns, and the end will be a tragedy.

Tsukashi tried his best to maintain a steady state, but when he saw the armored cavalry charging back, he couldn't help but be timid and afraid. On the battlefield, he frantically searched for Cao Xiu's figure, hoping to see Cao Xiu's order to withdraw his troops.

Cao Xiu, who Chang Diao was looking for, was in anger and shame at this time, and the green tendons on the palm holding the reins were already bursting.

He fought too stupidly in this battle, and he wanted to defeat Huo Jun and become famous all over the world. I never thought that I would unconsciously walk into Huo Jun's layout, as if I took the initiative to lead my troops to the door and let Huo Jun slaughter him. Huo Jun had almost defeated the army with his cavalry, and the infantry under his tent had not yet arrived?

Thinking like this made Cao Xiu feel strongly humiliated and unwilling. If he goes back this time, won't he be ridiculed by Jia Kui and Manzhong. And will Zang and Lu be sent to His Majesty and impeached him for improper use of troops, which led to the collapse of the war.

If it is defeated this time, it is good that Quxian and Licheng are lost, but what will happen if there is no Xiapi and Shouchun?

Thinking of Huo Jun again, Cao Xiu felt powerless.

He finally understood why the former general Xiahoudun couldn't leave Shouchun City when he died. It's not that he's cowardly and incompetent, but that he doesn't know how to deal with Huo Jun.

Zang Ba and Lu Qian can lead their troops to arrive early, or inform themselves of Huo Jun's movements; If Jia Kui and Man Chong don't go against themselves, they will join forces with themselves......

Thinking of his teammates, Cao Xiu's heart ignited a glimmer of hope, he had a chance to defeat Huo Jun, but it was only because of external factors and their lack of cooperation that led to such a defeat.

Give him another chance, maybe he can defeat Huo Jun!

At this time, the horn sounded in the distance, and Cao Xiu looked for prestige, but saw that the fiery red flag was approaching him more and more, this was the elite of the enemy's infantry army.

Compared with the cavalry, Cao Xiu is more afraid of the cavalry, if the cavalry is a sharp blade, then the infantry is a heavy hammer, directly sweeping all the recalcitrant forces on the battlefield.

"General, the armor cavalry is too fierce, General Chang is wounded and retreats!"

"This is coming, let's withdraw quickly!"

The attendant took Cao Xiu's hand and hurriedly shouted.

"Retreat?"

Cao Xiu's heart was moved, he was still young and didn't want to die here. There were additional factors in the defeat of this battle. If he can solve these problems next time, he may not be able to defeat Huo Jun.

By the way, the old mother is still at home, and she can't die. He must return alive to his mother and tell His Majesty what had happened.

Narrowly defeated Huo Jun, no shame!

"Withdraw!"

Cao Xiu tugged on the reins, said that he rode left and right, and said emotionally: "Today's defeat should have been to death." But because of his heavy responsibility, he didn't dare to give up. ”
