Chapter 2131 Small victory in the first battle

A strong wind blew, blowing away the mist above the battlefield. The golden sunlight shone down, shining on thousands of Jiangdong cavalry and landing in the eyes of the emperor and others. It was like a huge rock falling from a high altitude and smashing into the water, causing shocking waves, and causing circles of ripples, spreading rapidly around, like an invisible torrent, impacting the minds of every soldier.

The emperor standing in the command car saw the most clearly, and he also understood what the invisible torrent was.

It's fear!

Six or seven thousand knights, nearly a thousand steps wide, are divided into three arrays. The formation in the middle is the thickest, about four or five thousand people, the most eye-catching. Not only is the team neat, but there are also five or six hundred horses in front of the formation. The people, armor, horses and armor of the armor are all silver-white in steel. In the formation of the knights with red armor, it is like a silver edge inlaid, and it is like the sharpest blade. It makes people involuntarily remember the plow during spring plowing. Under the traction of the cattle and horse, it can break through the hard land, and it is like the sword edge of a broad sword. It is invincible wherever it points.

Even without armored cavalry, this cavalry formation of six or seven thousand people was enough to shock the people. The spear was pointed straight at the sky like a forest, and the sharp spearhead was sharpened and shone like stars in the sun. The neat outfit, exquisite armor, and strict formation all showed that this was a real elite, a sharp sword, which was enough to make the opponent afraid and dare not infringe lightly.

With an armored cavalry, it is like a sharp sword breaking a blade, and a fierce tiger reveals its minions, making people afraid to snatch its edge lightly.

In contrast, there are only more than a thousand Yulin cavalry in the emperor's formation that can barely compare with the ordinary knights on the opposite side, and there is no way to talk about the armored cavalry. The worst-equipped Bingzhou Army even had different colors of armor, and it was simply a bandit.

The emperor remembered the feeling of facing the Xianbei people during the Western Expedition. He felt that he was the true Emperor of Guanxi at this moment. Compared with the Jiangdong Army opposite, there was no more Chinese style and as shabby as the barbarians of Zuo.

"Zhu Huan's formation is a bit strange, I have never seen it before." Liu Ye stroked the short beard under his jaw and pondered.

The emperor also saw the problem. Zhu Huan's formation was neither an ordinary infantry and cavalry combination formation nor a cavalry battle formation. The two wings were too weak, with few cavalry, about more than a thousand people, but the central army was too thick, which was different from the formation where infantry was high and cavalry was on both wings. Even if cavalry was fighting alone, the central army was too thick. The thicker the cavalry's formation, the less convenient it was to move, weakening the cavalry's speed advantage.

In contrast, the infantry are too far from the battlefield, and if there is an emergency, it is difficult to provide timely reinforcements.

"What is Zhu Huan trying to do?"

"If you can't guess thoroughly, it's better not to guess." Liu Ye chuckled. "The formation is dead, and it's alive. It's up to him to see how he uses it. Since his wings are so weak, it's better to send someone to test it and see how he deals with it. As for the armored cavalry, if he doesn't move, I won't move. If he wants to move, I will move first."

The emperor nodded and agreed, and ordered Lu Bu, the right wing, to send someone to attack and test Zhu Huan's left wing position.

The drum sounded, reminding everyone to take back their minds and not be attracted by the opponent's momentum. At the same time, Lu Bu was ordered to attack. Lu Bu was watching the opposite formation, both fortunate and fortunate. He did not face the opponent's most elite armored cavalry head-on. From his perspective, the armored cavalry was not like the sharp blade of a sharp sword, but a wall. How to break when encountering such an opponent? Bows and arrows are definitely useless, only a spear. However, the opponent's spear is 15 feet long, and the spears in his subordinates' hands are at most 12 feet long, and many are 12 feet long. Some people even don't use long swords, but ring-headed swords.

Can the ring-headed knife cut open these silver armor? Lu Bu expressed doubts.

Fortunately, Lu Bu was more envious. No wonder Tai Shi Ci was able to run rampant on the grasslands, destroying whoever he saw, and with such good equipment and sufficient supply of food and grass, anyone would win. Even Ma Teng and Han Sui had armored cavalry and bully Xianbei people at will. If I had such good equipment, would the horse still make him laugh?

While slandering, Lu Bu ordered Zhang Liao to attack. Although he had many generals under his command, only Gao Shun could compare with Zhang Liao in terms of martial arts and military ability. Gao Shun was the safest to send Zhang Liao to fight in Hongnong. Moreover, the general opposite was named Qin, and he was an unknown person, so he was definitely not a match for Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao received the order, raised his spear and issued an order. More than a thousand knights responded sternly, kicked the horse out of the battle, and followed Zhang Liao toward the Jiangdong Army position three hundred steps away. Last time he went to the battle, Wei Xu was bitten by Yan Xing and lost more than a hundred people. His resentment had not subsided. He came back to complain to Lu Bu, saying that they were not rescued in time, and Lu Bu scolded them again. This time they went to the battle, they must let out this anger.

Who is Qin Mu? I haven't heard of it.

Qin Mu didn't have the heart to pay attention to Zhang Liao. He ordered people to send news to the central army and then waited for it, but had no intention of attacking. His target was not Zhang Liao, but Lu Bu. Of course, if he was asked to fight Zhang Liao, he could also give it a try. Although he knew that Zhang Liao was very skilled in martial arts, the Bingzhou army he led was really not very good. They were like beggars, and some people didn't even have armor. With the armor on their bodies, the spear in their hands, and the stirrups under their feet, he had the confidence to fight with Zhang Liao, as long as he didn't give Zhang Liao a chance to fight one-on-one.

I crushed him with equipment.

When Zhu Huan received the news in the central army, he immediately ordered Wen Chou to attack. Wen Chou hid behind the central army and could not see the situation ahead, but kept listening carefully. When he heard the sound of the trumpet on the opposite side, he guessed that the emperor would send someone to try to attack his left wing. This was exactly what they expected. He got on the horse and prepared, and as soon as he received the order, he immediately kicked the horse and accelerated and rushed out of the battle formation.

Two thousand elite cavalry are divided into two batches, one thousand follow Wen Chou to attack, one thousand stands on standby, and are ready to do the second batch of attacks.

Surrounded by the personal guards, Wen Chou appeared behind Qin Mu, and then drove his horse right and turned toward Zhang Liao's team. Zhang Liao ran from three hundred steps away, requiring acceleration time and saving horsepower, and did not run at full speed. He ran while observing the opponent's formation. Seeing Qin Mu motionless, the horns behind him were roaring and the flags were shaking. He knew that there were knights in the formation were about to come out and he was ready. At this moment, he was still nearly a hundred steps away from Qin Mu's big flag. Seeing Wen Chou approaching him, he immediately ordered the shooting.

"Rise the shield!" Wen Chou shouted, and raised the shield in his hand.

"Rise the shield! Raise the shield!" A series of shouts continued to pass back. Except for the armored cavalry guards beside Wen Chou, all the knights raised their shields. Instead of fighting back with bows and arrows, they held their spears tightly and prepared for the impact.

The arrow fell on the shield, and the "Ding Dang" sounded. Someone was shot, but few people were dropped. With solid armor to protect the body, they would not lose their combat effectiveness even if they were shot. With stirrups, they could hold on even if they were injured. Unless they were extremely lucky and shot into the vital point, their luck was almost the same today.

Both sides quickly approached. Seeing Wen Chou coming in a fierce manner, Zhang Liao was trembling spear pointed directly at his chest and abdomen. He felt alert and didn't bother to shoot arrows anymore. He raised his spear and greeted Wen Chou.

"Kill!" The moment the two horses intersected, the two shouted almost at the same time, and then stabbed the spear.

The two spears intersect and exerted force at the same time, pushing the opponent outward. They wanted to seize the middle lane, but almost gave up the hard head at the same time. The spear flicked and stabbed the opponent. With a crisp "when", the two of them stabbed each other's ribs almost at the same time.

Both of them were powerful players who had been on the battlefield for a long time. They reacted very quickly. The moment they felt that they were about to hit the spear, they twisted their waists on the horse's back and avoided the frontal collision. However, Wen Chou had the help of stirrups and had a root under his feet. He was more at ease when doing the movements, and the amplitude was larger. He moved more than a foot away, and his hips almost left the horse's back, which made Zhang Liao's spear completely pierced the air.

Wen Chou took advantage of his remnant force to pick a knight behind Zhang Liao on the horse with one spear. He looked back at Zhang Liao and secretly praised him. He is worthy of being a master who can compete with the King of Wu. This spear technique and riding technique are top-notch.

After receiving the praise of Wen Chou, Zhang Liao had no time to be proud. He failed to avoid it all, and his rib armor was hit. Although he only rubbed it for a while and was not injured, he was also in pain. However, Zhang Liao did not have time to cry out for pain, and dozens of armored cavalry followed Wen Chou, with spears like a forest, stabbing Zhang Liao continuously.

Zhang Liao knew that the armor of the armor was strong and had a strong impact. Even if he tried his best to assassinate one person, he would not be assassinated by others. So he gave up the attack and defended himself with all his might. The spear in his hand danced into a ball of flowers. A "crackling" thoughts, Zhang Liao didn't know how to block the attack of several people, but he knew that he was still alive because his whole body was sore, especially his thighs were so painful. He reached out and touched it, and it was so hot that it was not good to be secretly screamed. If his thighs were injured, it would be difficult to last.

The armored cavalry flew away, and light cavalry followed one after another. However, Zhang Liao was not at ease when facing these light cavalry. The equipment of these light cavalry was stronger than that of the Bingzhou army and sat more steadily. The spear in his hand was also full of lethality, so it was not easy to deal with it.

With his strong martial arts skills and the same spear, Zhang Liao fought with dozens of Jiangdong light cavalry in succession and seized the opportunity to assassinate two people, adding two more wounds. However, his subordinates did not have such martial arts. In the face of opponents with obvious advantages, they were defeated and suffered heavy casualties.

Wen Chou and Zhang Liao fought together, and they understood Zhang Liao's skills and had a clear understanding of the subsequent battle. While rushing forward, dancing spears, killing more than ten Bingzhou knights, he issued an order and ordered the remaining thousand cavalry to launch an attack. When he stabbed the last knight in front of him and found that there were no more opponents, he began to slow down, turn, and encircle Zhang Liao's right side.

Hearing the sound of trumpets behind him and seeing the flags shaking in the formation in front of him, cavalry rushed out. Zhang Liao knew that something was wrong and that he was in danger of being surrounded and attacked by the other party. While ordering to turn to the right, he turned around and looked back, and suddenly felt a chill.

The team behind him was much sparse, and at least one-third of the 1,000 cavalry who fought with him were killed. He knew that there was a gap in strength between the two sides and the casualties would be relatively large, but the losses in the first battle still surprised him a lot.
