Chapter 175: First Battle to Win

"What kind of cavalry is this? What kind of tactics are it?" Xu Rong, who was watching the battle in the back formation, was suddenly surprised and asked left and right, "Why have I never seen this general before?"

"Yes, what kind of cavalry is this?"

"Even people and horses are wrapped in heavy iron armor. Such weight is really affordable for war horses?"

"The war horse may be able to withstand it, but it can only run a few hundred steps with a weight at most. The horse's hooves will begin to be damaged due to heavy pressure, thus losing the ability to continue running. But these guys have already sprinted at least 500 steps since they launched the charge. How did they do it?"

The left and right generals whispered, and no one could answer Xu Rong's questions.

"General!" Everyone was shocked and suspicious, a small school suddenly stepped forward and screamed in sternly, "Ma Butcher, this is the Ma Butcher's army!"

Xu Rong's expression changed and he said in a calm voice: "Ma Butcher? Hetao Ma Yue!"

The little school's eyes showed an inexplicable terrifying look, as if recalling an extremely tragic memory, and said in a low voice: "Before the villain came to Liangzhou, he served as a soldier under the command of Zhu Jun, the Left General. Two years ago, in Yingchuan, the Northern Army (Zhu Jun and the elite Central Han Army led by Huangfu Song) had a battle with the eight hundred bandits of the Ma Butcher."

"Oh?" Xu Rong said with emotion, "What's the result?"

The school seemed not to hear Xu Rong's question, and whispered in a dreamlike tone: "The villain will never forget that battle in this life. It was a group of devils, the devils from the power world. They were covered with heavy iron armor, and even the war horses under their crotch were covered with solid iron armor. Even the people and the riders were dark, and it was hard to get in!"

"Shit~~"

A breath of breath sounded in the Dong Zhuo army. Many generals looked up and saw the cavalry surging from the line emitting dark and heart-pounding dullness. They looked like a devil from the underworld!

The school continued: "The most elite longbowman in the Northern Army, the longbowman who once made the Xianbei people in the north of the Mobei cannot stop their sprint! The sharp wolf-toothed arrows shot down from the world like dense rainstorms, but these devils were unscathed~~"

It seemed to be to verify what the school said, a rain of arrows suddenly rushes into Dong Zhuo's army, shooting down at the row of surging cavalry. As the school said, the charge of this cavalry was not hindered at all, and the speed is getting faster and faster.

Xu Rong's mouth twitched suddenly, his eyes showing a terrifying cold look. He was not afraid of the shooting of arrows. There are really such cavalry in the world!?

The voice of the school continued to sound: "When the group of devils rushed to the front, even the ground under our feet began to tremble. Many brothers raised their snatches in their hands and stabbed them in the chests of the devils. The snatches in their hands were broken one after another, but these devils were unscathed. Then they rushed in like a rolling boulder. Many brothers were knocked out, and many brothers were trampled into flesh mud."

"The brothers waved their waist swords desperately and slashed hard at these devils and mounts, but these devils were really invulnerable. The sabers on their bodies cut down their brothers one by one like harvesting wheat straw, but our waist swords could not cause any harm to them~~"

Xu Rong's pupils contracted leisurely, and he clearly felt the fear in the little school's heart!

The two cavalry surging towards each other had already collided fiercely, and the endless neighing sounds of people and horses suddenly sounded in the empty fields. The two hundred devil cavalry were like two hundred sharp swords, and they pierced into the relatively dense Dong Zhuo army cavalry formation.

Xu Rong's mouth began to twitch violently. He clearly saw that his cavalry was being pierced by the heavy guns in the hands of this group of devils, cut off by the slashing swords on both sides of the devil's mount. Many brave warriors, along with their own riders, were knocked away by the devils~~

The saberatus in the hands of his cavalry was not enough to cause damage to these devils. Xu Rong clearly saw that his elite cavalry escaped the saberatus of the devil cavalry with his superb riding skills, and then slashed the devil cavalry with his sharp saberatus in his hand fiercely on the shoulders of the devil cavalry. However, Xu Rong only saw that when Mars splashed, the devil cavalry was still unharmed, and with a backhand, he cut off the brave Liangzhou soldier.

"Boom~~"

In the flying smoke and dust, the two hundred heavy-armored iron cavalry surging through the three thousand iron cavalry that Dong Zhuo's army launched the charge like a sharp blade. The two hundred heavy-armored iron cavalry were like cold sieves, and the three thousand iron cavalry of Dong Zhuo's army were the most tragic and cruel screening. More than three hundred brave cavalry became the dead souls of the heavy-armored iron cavalry, while the two hundred heavy-armored iron cavalry only lost dozens of cavalry.

The heavy armored iron cavalry had just passed, and even more tragic killing followed one after another.

The sound of horse hooves sounded again from the smoke and dust in front of the sky. A more powerful iron-armored cavalry rushed out of the rolling smoke and dust. With a loud roar like a mountain collapse and tsunami, eight hundred sharp spears rushed into the air and shot down at the terrifying Dong Zhuo army cavalry.

The tragic wailing sounded through the sky in an instant. The spears were both heavy and sharp. The sprints of the two armies' cavalry doubled the penetration of the spears, so that they could easily penetrate the bodies of at least two cavalrymen in succession, or penetrate a strong spur on one side. The unprepared Dong Zhuo cavalry suffered the most tragic damage and fell down in large areas.

Although the two hundred heavy armored iron cavalry disrupted the formation of Dong Zhuo's army, what really caused heavy damage to Dong Zhuo's army was the spear thrown by the eight hundred iron cavalry who later came to kill!

The north wind whistled, scattering the smoke and dust over the battlefield. When the sparse and residual formation finally appeared in front of Xu Rong, he couldn't believe his eyes! Xiao Feng had only one round, and his most elite three thousand iron cavalry were only half left!

"Kill~~"

Ma Teng is worthy of being a veteran on the battlefield. He seized the opportunity to lead more than a thousand remaining soldiers under his command to launch a just right charge.

In normal times, it would be a death to charge against the cavalry with the same force! But the current situation is a bit special. Dong Zhuo's army had just suffered from the tragic killing of Ma Yue's army, and was still in a chaotic formation. Many generals and schoolmen were killed in the charge just now, which made the chaos even worse.

The remaining troops of Ma Teng and Dong Zhuo's army were quickly entangled. Dong Zhuo's army had no intention of fighting, but the trapped beasts were still fighting, one was rising and the other was getting worse. The more than a thousand cavalry of Dong Zhuo's army were killed by the more than a thousand infantry of Ma Teng's army and abandoned their armor and fled to the wilderness on both sides.

"Ao~~"

When Xu Rong was secretly frightened, another long thunderous sound sounded. The man like an iron tower raised the heavy sword in his hand again. The remaining 180 heavy-armored iron cavalry began to form a formation again, preparing for a second charge. However, this time, the target of the heavy-armored iron cavalry was Dong Zhuo's army's rear formation - the two thousand cavalry gathered beside Xu Rong and did not participate in the battle.

After shooting out the guns, the other 800 cavalry also bypassed the two wings of Dong Zhuo's army and advanced to the two hundred armored iron cavalry and began to form a formation again.

"Aoha~~"

The tower-like man pulled the long sword in his hand forward. Nearly two hundred heavy-armored iron cavalry behind him rode forward one after another and began to accelerate again. As the speed of the horse's running speed accelerated, the cavalry formation spread out toward the two wings again, forming a wide charge front again~~

Dong Zhuo's army's rear formation.

General Hu Zhen leaned up and said quickly: "General, retreat quickly!"

"Yes, General, retreat quickly." Another general said anxiously, "This cavalry is too powerful, our army may not be able to resist it. It is not too late to fight when the subsequent army arrives. No matter how powerful this cavalry is, there are only more than a thousand people, but our army has at least more than 10,000 troops, and even if we use the sea of ​​people to drown this cavalry, it is enough to drown this cavalry."

"Yes, yes, yes~~" Hu Zhen said repeatedly, "I'd better wait until the subsequent army arrives before going back to fight. Anyway, Ma Teng has become a lame horse now, and he can't escape even if he wants to."

"Yes." Xu Rongjue's Hu Zhen's words were quite reasonable, so he nodded and said, "Well, I'll send an order to withdraw the troops and wait until the subsequent army is gathered to fight again."

With Xu Rong's order, the desolate horn sounded through the sky in an instant. Dong Zhuo's army, who was waiting for the battle, immediately began to change the formation. The back team changed to the front team and retreated quickly. In less than a moment, the two thousand cavalry gathered the more than a thousand remaining soldiers who had escaped from the two wings and retreated cleanly from the wilderness.

"Huh~~"

Ma Yue breathed a long sigh, and a huge rock in his heart finally landed on the ground.

Fortunately, Dong Zhuo's army was scared away without knowing the truth. If this Dong Zhuo army had not retreated, they would rather bear huge casualties than fight with Ma Yue's army to the end. Ma Yue really dared not think about what the final result would be? Two hundred heavy armored iron cavalry are indeed powerful, but they can only launch one charge!

Just now, Xu Chu organized a team again, intending to launch a charge, just pretending to behave. In fact, these heavily armored cavalry have long been exhausted. If they forcefully launch a charge, perhaps Dong Zhuo's army would not need to be killed. The war horse under their crotch would fall on the battlefield because of their strength.
