Chapter 362 Battle of the Prairie (5)
Tuoba Gan gave Tuoba Yuantai a total of 25,000 Xianbei cavalry of Tuoba tribe, of which 3,000 were equipped with stirrups.
According to Tuoba Gan's idea, the left-wing Han army had only 10,000 people, and Tuoba Yuantai was two and a half times the number of left-wing Han army. At the same time, Tuoba Yuantai was an invincible general of the Tuoba tribe. Under his leadership, the cavalry of Tuoba tribe rushed out of thin air, and his combat effectiveness increased by 30%.
Although the Han army advanced together, each Han army was dozens of miles apart, especially the Han army in the middle, which was still infantry, so it took quite a short time to rescue. Tuoba Yuantai had at least one hour to annihilate the 10,000 Han cavalry on the left wing, which was enough time.
Not only was Tuoba Gan full of confidence, but Tuoba Yuantai was also very confident. After all, as the strongest general of the Tuoba tribe, he had been on the battlefield for more than 20 years, and he had never encountered a truly even opponent. The leader assigned him 25,000 elite cavalry and asked him to deal with the only 10,000 Han cavalry on the left wing. No matter how he looked at it, there was no possibility of not winning.
Tuoba Yuantai confidently led 25,000 Xianbei cavalry of Tuoba tribe and purged the 10,000 Han army flying dragon cavalry along the left wing.
The person who led the left wing to 10,000 flying dragon cavalry was Pang De. The scouts sent out found Tuoba Yuantai and other 25,000 elite cavalry of Tuoba tribes came to fight.
Pang De laughed: "A mere 25,000 barbarian cavalry dared to provoke!"
If Tuoba Yuantai's confidence is not only confidence in his own courage, but the rest is ignorance of the flying dragon cavalry.
Then Pang De's confidence is that he is confident in his own courage and strong confidence in the number of as many as 10,000 flying dragon cavalry he has led.
Tuoba Yuantai thought that Pang De and other left wing had only 10,000 flying dragon cavalry, so he thought they were the weakest among the three Han troops in the front line of Guan Yu. In fact, he was completely wrong. With the elite of the flying dragon cavalry, although the left wing had only 10,000, the combat power was definitely only less than the 20,000 Modao soldiers in the middle led by Guan Yu himself, but it was much stronger than the 20,000 ordinary Han cavalry in the other 20,000.
You should know that when the Flying Dragon Cavalry first fought, Zhao Yun led three thousand Flying Dragon Cavalry to fight in and out of Cao Cao's 200,000 army, forcibly rescued Lu Bu and his family who were trapped in Xia Pi. Now Pang De has 10,000 Flying Dragon Cavalry.
Not to mention how strong the overall combat power of the 10,000 Flying Dragon Cavalry is, just talking about the individual Flying Dragon Cavalry. Each of them is a dozen strong man among more than one million Han troops. He can fight several people in one among ordinary elite soldiers. The Flying Dragon Cavalry is equipped with a steel-forged horse spear, steel sword, strong crossbow, and steel scale armor. What kind of "divine artifact" is this in the current era.
It is the elite selected among the elites who have experienced many battles. With such a set of "artifact"-level equipment, the Tuoba Xianbei cavalry, which has no armor protection, inferior bows and arrows, and inferior scimitars, is said to be beaten by one to ten, and a high probability of winning by one to twenty.
With such a powerful 10,000 flying dragon cavalry, in Pang De's eyes, the 25,000 Tuoba Xianbei cavalry, who only had two and a half times the number of flying dragon cavalry, wasn't it just a 'just'?
A quarter of an hour later, both sides felt that the other side was a "mere" Tuoba Yuantai and Pang De finally met.
The two armies were about 300 meters apart. Tuoba Yuantai's side first stopped the horse and reduced the speed of the war horse to the normal walking speed. This is the attitude of the two armies expressing their desire to talk first and then fight before the two armies fight at close range.
Seeing this, Pang De also strangled the war horses and together with the 10,000 flying dragon cavalry behind him, reducing the speed of each of them to the normal walking speed.
The two armies changed from galloping quickly to slowly approaching.
Two hundred and fifty meters, two hundred meters...
The flying dragon cavalry was full of murderous aura and looked arrogant. The Tuoba Xianbei cavalry and beggar-like equipment on the opposite side did not talk about formations. It was messy and was simply a mob, vulnerable.
At the same time, Tuoba Yuantai, Tuoba Yuantai and the Tuoba Xianbei cavalry looked at the flying dragon cavalry with silver armor and silver spear opposite them, not saying anything murderous intent, but the equipment looked just two words "beautiful"!
Before they could, they were frightened and were hit by morale. On the contrary, Tuoba Yuantai and the Tuoba Xianbei cavalry were stunned for a moment, and then their attitude was still plain. The Han army's equipment was much better than that of the grassland. This is something that everyone on the grassland knew about, but the difference was that in the past, the Han army had black armor, warriors, and sharp swords, while the Han army in front of them had silver armor, silver spears, and sharp swords. Except that the silver color was much more beautiful than black, it seemed that there was no difference.
The Xianbei people could not even train iron well, and they had no idea about "steel", and they didn't even know what steel was. Therefore, in the eyes of Tuoba Yuantai and the Tuoba Xianbei cavalry, it was necessary to tell why the Han army in front of them had to wear a more "beautiful" color than the usual Han army, and just thought it was the "face project" of the Han army in front of them.
In short, the number of Han cavalry in front of them is placed here. They are led by the invincible Tuoba Yuantai. As long as they fight, they will easily crush the Han cavalry in front of them. Victory is destined to belong to them.
Tuoba Yuantai directly moved forward, pointed a big iron spear in his hand at Pang De and challenged: "I am Tuoba Yuantai, the Han general on the other side dares to come out to fight me!"
Since they were speaking Xianbei language, Pang De couldn't understand it, but there was no need to understand it. He only looked at the situation and knew that Tuoba Yuantai was challenging it.
Since the opponent's chief general came forward to fight, Pang De was not afraid, so hesitated without hesitation and rushed out with a big sword and took Tuoba Yuantai straight away.
The two of them approached quickly, Pang De sneered and shouted: "I am Pang De. Now I will take your head. You will remember when you arrive at the King of Hell!"
After saying that, he looked at Tuoba Yuantai with a fierce sword, and wanted to cut Tuoba Yuantai down with one sword.
If you want to say that Pang De is the second strong general in Liangzhou, he only admires Ma Chao, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Lu Bu and others throughout his life. Apart from these patiences, no one in the world can fear him.
Tuoba Yuantai couldn't understand Pang De's Chinese language, but he also knew the general meaning from Pang De's expression. He only snorted coldly, not afraid of Pang De's aggressive sword. The iron spear in his hand swept it and blocked Pang De's sword.
Pang De failed to hit a single sword, and was not disappointed, and he only slashed at Tuoba Yuantai with one more sword.
Tuoba Yuantai dodged by, and at the same time the iron spear also attacked Pang De. The two of them fought back and forth in a group.
The two quickly fought for more than sixty rounds.
Pang De became more and more frightened as he fought. Obviously, he did not expect that Tuoba Yuantai was so brave, his strength was greater than his, and his skills and experience were not inferior to him. After only more than 60 rounds, he was suppressed by Tuoba Yuantai and was at a disadvantage.
In the past hundred rounds, Tuoba Yuantai on the opposite side was also a little surprised. He had been traversing the grassland for so many years, and no one had ever fought with him like this. But immediately I thought that the great man was powerful and it was not uncommon for him to have such a level of force. Fortunately, this man was not his opponent. At most fifty or sixty rounds, he would definitely defeat this man general.
Sure enough, for 120 rounds, Pang De was already sweating profusely and was filled with danger.
Faced with such a situation, Pang De felt extremely ashamed. In front of tens of thousands of Feilong Cavalry soldiers, he was too embarrassed to defeat a Xianbei barbarian general.
After more than twenty rounds of battle, Pang De couldn't hold on anymore and had no choice but to be ashamed. As the leader of this journey, he could not really lose his life like this. Saving his life is important, so he fled.
When Pang De escaped, Tuoba Yuantai was immediately overjoyed. The Han army leader was defeated by him, and the morale of the Han army opposite would be greatly affected. If the Han generals could be further killed, the Han army opposite would be without a leader and would be in chaos. He would easily defeat the Han army.
"Where will the Han general go?" Tuoba Yuantai shouted and chased after him.
Pang De's mount was one of the sweat-blooded BMWs presented by the Dayuan Kingdom back then. It was better than the Xianbei war horses that Tuoba Yuantai sat down. Tuoba Yuantai could not catch up with Pang De in an instant.
Seeing that Pang De was about to escape back to the opposite Han army, in desperation, Tuoba Yuantai changed his bow and arrow to shoot at Pang De.
When Pang De heard the sound of arrows breaking through the air, he turned his head and flashed an arrow.
The second arrow shot into Pang De's lower abdomen, but before Tuoba Yuantai was happy, the arrow was shot down by Pang De's armor and could not break the armor.
It turns out that Tuoba Yuantai's bow and arrow were better than the bow and arrow of ordinary Tuoba Xianbei cavalry, but in the grassland fighting, Tuoba Yuantai could easily shoot and kill other Xianbei soldiers and generals with his own strength, without the need for copper arrows to add power. Therefore, all the arrows used by Tuoba Yuantai were made of wooden. Obviously, it is impossible for the iron armor on Pang De at this moment to make the wooden arrows have the ability to break armor by relying on his strength.
Tuoba Yuantai was so angry that he threw away the bow and arrow in his hand.
The archery delayed for a while and it was even more impossible to catch up with Pang De.
However, Pang De was defeated after all, so he took this opportunity to call on the 25,000 Tuoba Xianbei cavalry in the rear.
"Kill!" The Tuoba Xianbei cavalry rushed up together.
Tuoba Yuantai subconsciously thought that with the power of defeating Pang De, the entire army rushed to 10,000 flying dragon cavalry, which was enough to make the flying dragon cavalry in chaos and flee with great defeat.
The other Tuoba Xianbei cavalry have the same mentality, so all the 25,000 Tuoba Xianbei cavalry are screaming. They are really murderous and aggressive. They don’t seem to rush up to fight against the enemy, but they have a feeling of getting up to pick up cheap and driving the flock of sheep.
A good mentality and a very happy one.
