Chapter 85 The might of the cavalry
If there were no stirrups, Xu Huang might not necessarily think that he could beat Hua Xiong on the war.
However, with this pair of stirrups, Xu Huang's ability to play was greatly improved and he had the power to be stronger than the first-level general. Hua Xiong was able to fight after several attacks.
Hua Xiong had only fought with Xu Huang for more than ten rounds and knew that this was an arduous battle. It was far from what he thought he could do easily and easily.
Taking advantage of the battle with Xu Huang, Hua Xiong turned his head and glanced at the three thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry beside him.
But just this glance made his expression even more tragic.
The three thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry that he was proud of was less than a thousand people who could still stand on the war horses and fight.
In the blink of an eye, only less than a thousand people were left. Even if these Yellow Turban Cavalry were defeated, Hua Xiong would not be able to go back to serve Dong Zhuo.
Such huge losses made Hua Xiong feel more and more that the Yellow Turban Cavalry in front of him was not simple.
He also saw that after a bloody battle, the Yellow Turban Cavalry did not reduce much.
At the beginning, there were only six or seven hundred people, but there were still four or five hundred people. If they continued to fight, I was afraid that all the remaining thousand cavalry under his command might be killed in the hands of these Yellow Turban cavalry.
Hua Xiong, who noticed these situations, couldn't help but retreat. Facing Xu Huang in front of him, he had no idea of defeating Xu Huang at all.
At this time, Hua Xiong was not the only one who had a retreat on the battlefield. Half of the more than a thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry who survived began to feel fear in their hearts.
Even some of the Xiliang cavalry on the periphery had begun to retreat and quietly ran away into the mountains and forests on both sides.
Hua Xiong looked at his side and his army was already unstable. If he continued to fight, he would only be defeated. However, the reinforcements in the rear and Dong Zhuo's main force would not be able to come here in a short time.
It is still a few miles away from Shangcai County. Even if Dong Zhuo and others quickly bring people to chase them, it will definitely take some time.
After all, those people were not cavalry, they were all infantry, and their mobility was here. Hua Xiong gritted his teeth and in order to save the remaining Xiliang cavalry, he immediately withdrew from the battle with Xu Huang.
With his strength, it is not a big problem to escape from the battle. As long as Xu Huang doesn't fight him to death, he can easily withdraw from the battle with Xu Huang.
Then he shouted at the Xiliang Iron Cavalry beside him.
"Soldiers, the enemy is strong, let's retreat for the time being!"
After saying that, Hua Xiong turned his head and rode away quickly on his war horse.
Hua Xiong was quite decisive and did not miss him, so he left here directly. Liu Zheng had just cut off a Western Liang Iron Cavalry and immediately saw Hua Xiong running away and did not intend to fight with Xu Huang.
He immediately became nervous and shouted at Huang Zhong not far away.
"Brother Huang Zhong, hurry up, shoot that general at me! Don't let him run away!"
Hua Xiong is still the strongest general under Dong Zhuo's command. If Liu Zheng could keep Hua Xiong, then Dong Zhuo would not be afraid.
Huang Zhong had just put away his bow and arrows and shot several Western Liang cavalry. He was about to continue to take action when he heard Liu Zheng's shouting. He immediately narrowed his eyes and looked at Hua Xiong who was rushing to escape on the battlefield.
Hua Xiong ran very fast, after all, the war horses he sat down were also the most exquisite among their Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
The speed is naturally very fast. Such high mobility allowed Hua Xiong's figure to escape a long distance in front of Liu Zheng in the blink of an eye.
When Huang Zhong reacted, Hua Xiong had already run far away, but Huang Zhong still did not give up. He continued to raise the bow and arrow, quickly grabbed an arrow, and pressed it on the bowstring.
Huang Zhong's bow and arrow moved quickly as Hua Xiong moved.
On his calm and calm face, Huang Zhong was even covered in sweat.
This kind of moving target is more difficult to deal with than the kind of standing still target. It is conceivable that it is difficult to hit.
But Huang Zhong did not hesitate, and the bow and arrow seemed to be integrated with him in his hands. With his predetermined trajectory, Hua Xiong's figure gradually appeared in his aiming position.
"middle!"
Huang Zhong shouted lightly, then let go of his fingers.
The sharp arrow flew out from his hands, like a falling meteor, disappearing into his hands, bringing out an arc of light.
The arrow flew out and appeared in front of Hua Xiong while riding on a war horse.
Perhaps it was when Liu Zheng shouted at Huang Zhong that this shout was also heard by Hua Xiong. Or perhaps it was that the 1,000 snatchers under Liu Zheng were always eyeing each other, which made Hua Xiong himself feel extremely defensive.
When Huang Zhong's arrow shot over, when he was about to shoot China Xiong, Hua Xiong noticed it. Hua Xiong, with a serious expression, swung the spear in his hand, trying to use the weapon in his hand to block Huang Zhong's arrow.
He swept a long spear and shot in the direction of the arrow flying.
Although he hit the arrow shot by Huang Zhong, the arrow was too fast and he still did not completely knock the arrow away, but only missed the arrow's shooting direction.
The arrow still sniffed into Hua Xiong's shoulder.
Although there was a thick armor wrapped around his shoulders, the force of the arrow still penetrated directly through the thick armor and pierced into Hua Xiong's body.
Hua Xiong suffered pain, gritted his teeth, his face twisted, but he still endured it and continued to fly from the battlefield.
After this period of rushing, Hua Xiong's figure was far away from the battlefield. Huang Zhong wanted to shoot again, but the distance was too far, and his hit might be too low, so he could not shoot China Xiong at all, so he had to sigh.
"Ship Qu, my subordinates are incompetent and did not shoot that guy."
During this period, Liu Zheng had already seen the arrow shot by Huang Zhong. It was no wonder that Huang Zhong did not shoot Hua Xiong. Hua Xiong was completely because he was strong enough and missed Huang Zhong's arrow.
"Forget it, no wonder you, keep cleaning up the battlefield!"
As soon as Hua Xiong fled, the Western Liang cavalry naturally fled everywhere. In the blink of an eye, only a corpse was left on the battlefield that was just noisy.
Liu Zheng glanced at the corpse on the battlefield and immediately gave an order to Xu Huang.
"Xu Huang, immediately let our people take away all the alive war horses, and at the same time take away the stirrups on the dead war horses here. Remember not to leave any stirrups!"
