Guan Yu failed to challenge him, but instead he was angry with high blood pressure. But his third brother had another task and could not let him out of anger. In desperation, he had to suffocate and return.∈◆, but his astonishing knife also left a deep impression on the Dragon Wolf Army, and the Barbarian Camp even shouted loudly.
Le Jin was also secretly surprised. If he responded rashly and Guan Yu came with the power of this sword, he would definitely not be able to stop it. In addition, he was afraid, and he was even more convinced of such a powerful general who had been killed by his lord and fled to his life. I really don't know how he did it.
If you can't fight alone, then you will have to fight in formation.
Because it is impossible to set up a battlefield across a river, the two armies face the problem of whether you fight or I fight. Undoubtedly, the side who fights against the defensive counterattack has more physical strength (the enemy moves and I don’t move) and home court advantage.
The Cao and Liu coalition had superior forces, and they had secret plans, for fear that the confrontation would be noticed by the enemy, so they decided to take the initiative.
Half of the wooden bridge was broken by Guan Yu, and first sent a servant to log, repair, reinforce and widen the woods. Next, the infantry dispatched.
The two armies of Cao and Liu each invested 1,000 troops at one time to form two military formations. The commander of the left formation was Han Hao, and the commander of the right formation was Guan Yu. The war drums urged them to advance, and thousands of troops advanced.
If Le Jin's purpose is to defend and resist the enemy and wait for support, he only needs to send an army of 100 people to block the bridge. After dragging on for a day or two, he can wait for the gathering of Gaolan's rear army, and then he can concentrate his efforts to confront Cao and Liu.
But Le Jin knew very well that Cao Cao used military methods and it would be difficult to achieve great results with such a regular fighting method of frontal flat push. He came here. He was not confronting Cao Liu, and fighting a few battles was done. He had to prove to all the soldiers of the Dragon Wolf Army that he could become the deputy commander of the Southern Expedition. It was not that he had followed his lord early and qualified enough, but that he dared to fight tough battles and had real talents and ideas. He let the enemy go, gather and annihilate them. He defeated Cao Liu first and then intercepted Sun Quan was Le Jin's plan.
The footsteps rumbling, and the army of Cao and Liu wings crossed the bridge. The infantry began to line up and the auxiliary soldiers arranged the horses to resist. Liu Bei also joined the Baili cavalry with Guan Yu, and merged 150 Baili soldiers. This cavalry mixed with Wuwan, Xianbei and other Hu people, as well as Qing and Xu Han troops, was very familiar with the cavalry tactics in the Youliao area, and used it to prevent the Dragon Wolf Cavalry and escort the infantry formation. It was the most suitable.
Le Jin began to issue the first order: "Dragon Wolf Bow Knight. Go out."
Two hundred and eighty dragon wolf riding out of the bow.
"Your mission is to lead all the enemy cavalry away. Remember the principle of wolf pack battle to hold the opponent, stick to the opponent, drag down the opponent, and destroy the opponent!"
"promise!"
More than 280 cavalrymen escaped from the formation, rolled up smoke and dust in the sky, and rushed towards the enemy formation.
One hundred and fifty cavalry Baili soldiers immediately met and refused, and the one who commanded the cavalry was Guan Yu's eldest son, Guan Ping.
Guan Ping was in his early twenties and was quite young. In fact, he had already joined the army and had always served as the governor of Liu Bei's tent (equivalent to the captain of the guard). He rarely led the army. This time, Liu Bei deliberately handed over the elite cavalry to him for command. Guan Yu was originally opposed, but Liu Bei insisted on appointing him. Finally, he used three replies to convince his brothers: "I also know that Tan Zhi is still young. He lacks experience, but isn't the experience just produced? Thinking about it, at this age, you and my brothers also rode on their horses and attacked the Yellow Turbans? What's more, will we still be able to do it?"
Guan Yu was speechless. Yes, will they still be available? Since the elder brother trusted him, let him show how many bowls of dry rice he could eat.
It makes sense for Liu Bei to ask Guan Ping to command Bai Li's soldiers, because Guan Ping was originally his entourage (if it was not for Ma Han's slut, this position was originally Chen Dao). He commanded Bai Li's soldiers and was very familiar with the tactical and combative power of this cavalry and had no obstacles in command. If it were someone else, he would be worse than him.
Guan Ping looked quite like his father. In addition to having a beautiful beard, the color of the mount and the weapons he used were just the same as Nai's father. You can imagine his admiration for his father. When Guan Ping first took on the important task, he was excited, and he also secretly held his breath and must show his own standards, so that his father and two uncles could look at him with admiration.
Guan Ping was originally most worried that the enemy cavalry did not move and fought without success. At this moment, he saw the enemy cavalry rushing towards him, and was happy instead of being surprised. He beat the sword with one sword: "Bai Li Ruishen, fight!"
The enemy cavalry was almost twice as many as our own, but Guan Ping was not afraid at all and took the lead.
The two cavalry were rolling and approaching. When they were about to collide violently, the dragon and wolf bows and cavalry turned toward one by one and flew past the right. Nearly three hundred cavalrymen turned their horses and turned toward the direction, without any disorder, and their movements were neat, without leaving the team. It was pleasing to the eye and even more shocking.
The Dragon Wolf Bow Cavalry is not simply turning the direction to avoid the Baili soldiers. When turning, they raise their bows at the same time and shoot arrows at the enemy cavalry.
Buzz! A wave of arrows, like dark clouds, was lying under the cover of Bai Li's soldiers.
More than ten cavalry white squads and horses rushed to the front were all shot into arrows, falling into dust, and the comrades behind them all rushed away. Even so, they still couldn't dodge and stepped down with four hooves...
The Dragon Wolf's bow and cavalry attacked more than one wave, and even the matter was done. In just a few breaths, everyone could not shoot five or six arrows, and some even shot pearl arrows.
If you look down from the air, you can clearly see that the Dragon Wolf Bow Knight and the Baili Soldier at this time form a "t" shape. The Dragon Wolf Bow Knight is the horizontal, and the Baili Soldier is the vertical. This also coincides with the method of naval battle to seize the "t" head. This fan attack can maximize the power of the bow Knight and can attack the enemy Knight from multiple angles, making the enemy Knight lose sight of the other and make it difficult to protect the enemy Knight.
At this moment, the first half of the white soldiers were completely shrouded under the "dark clouds".
The harsh sound of the swishing arrows is shocking. Even though Bai Li soldiers are prepared for the wolf cavalry's shooting tactics, everyone is ready to raise the shield and shrink the dodge, but the jumping of the war horses caught in the arrow makes the knights unable to make effective defense moves at all. The arrows that could have been avoided eventually fell on their bodies...
Guan Ping rushed to the front and was naturally "careful" with at least a dozen arrows on his body, half of which were blocked by a sword and shield, and half were inserted firmly on his body. Fortunately, Guan Ping was a personal general of Liu Bei, and was very well-careeded. The armor was of a very good texture and was a rare scale armor in Liu Bei's army. The arrows penetrated the armor, exhausted their kinetic energy, and only injured their flesh, which was nothing serious. But his white-savvy soldiers were in trouble.
The Dragon Wolf Bow Rider was very beautiful in riding and arrow attack. Guan Ping, who had never had any experience in fighting with the Dragon Wolf Knight, suffered a considerable loss as soon as he met.
Guan Ping didn't have to look back. Just looking at the momentum of the arrow and the neighing of the man in his ears, he knew that the loss was a big loss. He didn't dare to do so, and he didn't care about calculating the loss. Like the Bai Li soldier who was burning in anger, he launched a rampage mode towards the Dragon Wolf Bow Knight.
Chase!
The rolling smoke and dust are chasing each other, and arrows come and go, it is difficult to distinguish.
Le Jin looked at all the enemy cavalry with satisfaction and gave a second order: "Dragon Wolf Light Cavalry, attack."
About 150 dragon and wolf light cavalry jumped out of the formation and rushed towards the Cao and Liu coalition forces who had already arranged the formation.
The two thousand infantrymen of Cao and Liu each formed a simple and fast, effective defense.
The formation of a formation with the back and water, and the shields are set up on all sides, which can effectively prevent cavalry assaults, and at the same time, it is also very effective in shooting at the cavalry. The dragon and wolf cavalry are famous all over the world, and they are especially good at breaking the formation with cavalry. Cao Cao knew this when he was in Xuzhou, and many civil and military officials and generals under his command had seen it, so he was quite cautious about it.
Sure enough, the dragon and wolf light cavalry divided into two, each hitting for a while, and greetings with bows and arrows.
The reason why the Dragon Wolf Light Cavalry is a "light Cavalry" rather than a bow cavalry is mainly because their shooting skills are slightly inferior to those of the archers, including accurate heads, firing speed, skills, etc., which are all inferior. But in terms of strength, they are not bad. So they can also shoot at seventy or eighty steps. As for the target... Anyway, a large group of people will shoot whoever they shoot, so they will not worry about not being able to find the target.
At the same time, the archers of the Cao and Liu coalition were not to be outdone, and they drew their arrows and raised their bows, reciprocating their colors. In terms of range, both sides are similar. If you shoot me, I can get you. But compared with the two, these archers are still very disadvantaged and suffer losses. They are fixed targets and mobile targets. Moreover, smoke and dust are rolling, and they cannot find the target at all, which is similar to blind shooting.
Guan Yu and Han Hao soon discovered that the archers were obviously suppressed. The enemy cavalry was running back and forth outside the formation for several times, and the archers were killed and injured. This was really unfavorable for arrows. Immediately ordered the archers to withdraw, with swords and shields on top of the heads, and the shields were stacked, shaped like shield walls. At the same time, the entire formation was shrinking, like tortoise shells.
Sure enough, in this way, the enemy's arrows could not penetrate the wooden shield. They ran back and forth for several laps, wasting a lot of horsepower and arrows, with little effect.
Seeing this in the formation, Le Jin sneered: "Is it useful to set up the turtle formation?"
The flag swayed frequently, and more than a hundred dragon and wolf riding lightly rode their horses, whistling and turning back.
Cao Cao and Liu Bei on the other side of the river were relieved when they saw this, and wiped the sweat beads on their foreheads at the same time, truly experiencing the terribleness of large-scale shooting. The Youliao cavalry was indeed awesome in the world. No wonder Gongsun Zan was able to be in a state of stead for a while, and even Yuan Shao had to avoid his edge.
As soon as the two of them were relieved, they saw the Dragon Wolf Light Cavalry passing by the wind in front of the formation. At the same time, they reached out to take a vertical striped leather bag from a group of heavily armored cavalrymen, put it next to the saddle, and killed it again without stopping.
What is the leather bag? This idea just came from the hearts of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Han Hao, and more than a hundred dragon and wolf light cavalry have been killed back.
Without the threat of archers, the cavalry could already approach two or thirty steps, flying past the enemy's formation. As the smoke and dust rolled, a sharp scream suddenly sounded, and countless javelins suddenly appeared from the smoke, like locusts flying in the sky, pounced on those "crops"
Puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff! The shield burst, blood light burst out, and the sword and shield soldiers screamed, and the shield wall collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye and collapsed. In just a few dozen breaths, the defensive layer formed by the sword and shield soldiers broke and shattered like bamboo strips under the heavy javelin attack of powerful and heavy javelins.
Chapter completed!
