Chapter 691: Support the South Gate

After Xu Huang and Liu Chong fought again for several rounds, Liu Chong took the time to turn his head and glanced behind him, and found that the nearly 10,000 troops he had led had already been lost at this time.

Not to mention stopping Xu Huang's cavalry attack here, I can't even last longer.

Liu Chong is very strong, but he can't resist the strength of An Xie soldiers under his command is not very good.

When Liu Chong realized the power of the other party, Liu Chong realized that Liu Zheng was terrible and also knew that Liu Zheng was not so easy to deal with.

After seeing the heavy casualties of his troops under his command, Liu Chong's face became increasingly ugly. Although he wanted to retreat at this time, he lost the cover of his troops and was entangled by Xu Huang, and the more and more enemy troops around him made him unable to leave the battlefield at this moment.

In the end, he was overwhelmed by Xu Huang's successive attacks. Although he still had some strength, there were more and more enemy troops around him. After fighting with Xu Huang for more than 30 rounds, he was distracted and could only be hit by Xu Huang with an axe.

In order not to be injured, he had to throw away his weapons, and then he was naturally captured alive by Xu Huang.

Liu Chong's more than 10,000 troops stopped the attacks of Xu Huang and others at the Xicheng Gate.

After only one stick of incense, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses lost their lives under the storm of nearly 20,000 cavalry troops.

After dealing with Liu Chong and others, Xu Huang went straight to the South City Gate from the West City Gate to support Liu Zheng and Wen Pin's army who were trapped in the South City Gate.

This is also the strategy that Liu Zheng and Xu Huang discussed with him from the beginning.

When Xu Huang led his cavalry to quickly support from the West City Gate to the South City Gate, the battle at the South City Gate had already entered a hot state.

It is precisely because of Gongsun Zan's white horse Yicheng who came from the rear that Zhang Feijun, who was originally at a disadvantage, suddenly burst out with new vitality and constantly suppressed Wenpin and other people.

Seeing that more than half of the 20,000 troops under Wenpin were killed or injured, and they began to retreat to Huainan City, Gongsun Zan and his men were happily killing, the sound of cavalry horse hooves suddenly came from the battlefield behind them, which attracted their attention.

"What's going on? Where did the sound of horse hooves come from!"

Gongsun Zan was originally a northerner and was very familiar with the sounds of war horses. The sounds of the earth and the mountains made him realize something was wrong at once, and he quickly realized that it could cause such a huge sound, which was definitely a movement that could only be triggered by the large number of cavalry raids.

And he only had a few thousand cavalry under his command, so he could not cause such noise at all. No one else in Huainan could have such a large number of cavalry.

While he was hesitating, he suddenly glanced back and immediately saw a cavalry formation that was rapidly invading like a black line.

At first glance, countless cavalrymen rushed over from a distance, as fast as wolves and as invaded as fire.

The speed was so fast that in the blink of an eye, he came to the side of the soldiers behind Gongsun Zan.

The cavalry under Xu Huang's account were not the men of Gongsun Zan, but the infantry under the command of more than 10,000 King Chen Liu Chong led by Luo Jun.

In a charge of tens of thousands of cavalry, the men and horses led by Luo Jun immediately collapsed and had no ability to deal with the battle.

Seeing so many enemy cavalry suddenly appear, Gongsun Zan was stunned.

"This...how is this possible!"

He felt incredible at the first time and did not think that these cavalry were under Liu Zheng's command.

But then I thought about it and it seemed that Liu Zheng did have a cavalry of tens of thousands of people under him who had repelled Ding Yuan's attack on the Jingzhou battlefield.

However, when this news reached Gongsun Zan and the others, it did not attract their attention. After all, they had never personally seen the power of Liu Zheng's cavalry.

Of course, the cavalry trained by Liu Zheng is very powerful. This news was a few years ago when Liu Zheng was still the Yellow Turban Army. He had a cavalry unit of hundreds of people under his command, and at that time he swept across the entire Jingji area and was unstoppable.

Even Dong Zhuo, the commander of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry at that time, and Cao Cao, who commanded the Hu cavalry in the Northern Army, were all defeated by Liu Zheng.

However, the glory of Liu Zheng's cavalry back then, as Liu Zheng has been shrinking to the southern region over the years, and the few war horses have made Liu Zheng's cavalry powerful, this legend has gradually been forgotten.

Now when his cavalry appeared in front of everyone again, they remembered that Liu Zheng had always had a powerful cavalry under him.

"Quick! Quick! Quickly line up. Don't disperse everyone when they are together. Once they are dispersed, they will be destroyed by the enemy cavalry!"

Seeing the power of the enemy cavalry, Gongsun Zan naturally knew how to deal with the cavalry's charge under such circumstances.

If you are afraid of escaping, you will not be able to stop the cavalry at all. Whether you are escaping or responding alone, the cavalry's charge will be a dead end. It is impossible for a single man to stabilize the position under the cavalry's charge.

Moreover, you can't run a four-legged war horse. Only when people lean against each other and use the shields in their hands to form a human wall can they barely resist the cavalry's charge.

And this is just a way to fight against the cavalry at the lowest cost. It is not to completely block the cavalry's charge, but to cause some damage to the enemy's cavalry.

While instructing the infantry around him to gather together to stop the cavalry's charge, he immediately led the more than 2,000 white horses under his command to return to the battlefield and retreat to the rear, intending to deal with the invasion of Xu Huang and other cavalrymen. He had no choice but to use the cavalry to fight against the cavalry.

"Zhao Yun, where is Zhao Yun!"

"General Zilong is here!"

"Zilong, I will order you to lead a thousand white horses to attack the enemy cavalry formation from the flanks, and be sure to stop their attack!"

"The last general takes the order and swears to complete the general's order to the death!"

After receiving Gongsun Zan's order, Zhao Yun's face was tense. He bowed his hand and rode his horse out, leading hundreds of white horses around him to retreat from the battlefield behind instantly, intending to snipe the enemy's charge.

Gongsun Zan himself cooperated with Zhang Fei to continue charging forward. In this situation, even if he returned to defense, it would be difficult for the people present to block the enemy's charge. It would be better to continue fighting forward, and perhaps he could break through the enemy's frontline soldiers and directly capture Liu Zheng alive.

If they could really capture Liu Zheng, they would have room to turn over, otherwise they would be defeated in this battle.

Although Xu Huang had 20,000 cavalry under his command, the 20,000 troops could not all go to the south gate to support him. Some of them had to be left to guard the city, and some of them had to be left to resist the other troops under Liu Bei coming from the north.
