Chapter 273: Decisive Battle Against Tiger and Leopard Cavalry
Long Fei surrounded a thousand tiger and leopard cavalry with 500 bodyguard cavalry in Hongtu Ridge. Longfei's bodyguard cavalry was not heavily armored. In order to be flexible, these cavalrymen were all leather armor, and only generals with hundreds of men wore chain armor. But these cavalrymen were not heavily armored.
The Guards Cavalry has an advantage. They are the elites of the Dragon Army. They are all good at infantry combat, bow and arrow, and cavalry.
The place where the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was surrounded was a river valley, which faced mountains on three sides and water on the other. In addition, the red soil was muddy, and the riverbank was not suitable for war horses to run. The impact of the heavy armor of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry could not be exerted. Looking at Long Fei in all directions
The cavalry and the tiger and leopard cavalry could only approach them step by step. On the muddy mountain ground, the hoofs of each war horse soon became "swollen". They carried four large clods of soil and carried several
No matter how majestic the horses are, they can't bear the weight of hundreds of kilograms of soldiers and armor. After coming out of Yecheng and running all the way, the horses are already tired. It's really difficult for them to fight at this time.
"Fire arrows!" Xu Chu pointed forward with his broadsword. The cavalry behind him took off the bows and arrows on their backs and aimed at the weakest parts of the tiger and leopard knights, such as the face, the sides of the war horse, or behind the opposite tiger and leopard knights.
Thousands of arrows fired!
The general looked at the arrows flying back and forth in the sky. Many of his cavalry were injured. He punched the saddle hard: "Despicable!" He grabbed the deputy general behind him and glared at him: "Rush out and attack Cao Cao."
General calls for help! I’ll hold them back here!”
The lieutenant general nodded blankly, turned his horse's head and was about to run. But when he looked back, he saw that there was also a dragon army behind him, and he ran out of ideas for a while: "Where to go?"
The general wanted to kill him, but he didn't know how this guy got into the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. The general guessed it right. He was the son of a wealthy family in Yecheng. He had been pampered since he was a child and followed a ranger.
After learning a few tricks like the Three-Legged Cat, he thought he was invincible and insisted on becoming a soldier. His father was afraid that his son would die on the battlefield, so he paid someone to make his son a deputy general and sent him to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. I thought
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is a unit directly under Cao Cao, and is used to rush into the scene. Who knew that they would have to fight with others.
The deputy general kicked the general's war horse on the butt. The horse was in pain, and the general and the general used their last strength to rush towards the dragon flying cavalry behind. The deputy general's horse was bought from outside the Great Wall at a large price.
BMW, in order to escape faster on the battlefield. This horse is completely black, only the tips of its two ears are a little black. From a distance, it has a big belly, a thin waist, and long hooves. It is usually nothing special among other war horses. It is dangerous.
It takes time to tell the difference between good and bad.
With the BMW in hand, the deputy general dodged wherever he passed. Even if he stepped on the body of his own soldier, the war horse did not stumble. He crossed his own brigade and rushed towards the dragon cavalry. The deputy general
I was so frightened on the horse that I burst into tears. What if I met those people on the opposite side and could I survive? He pulled his horse's rein back desperately. But the horse was frightened and did not obey his command at all.
.
Dian Wei was assigned to block the way back. He laughed when he saw someone rushing over from the opposite side: "There are really some people who are not afraid of death! Okay! Grandpa, I will practice with you today!" Double-click and cross, and a group of horse heads blocked the deputy general's head.
On the road that must be passed.
"Stop! Stop!" The war horse understood human speech and ran into Dian Wei regardless.
Seeing the war horse approaching, the deputy general swung his spear and stabbed Dian Wei. Dian Wei smiled, raised his right hand slightly, and the iron halberd hit the deputy general's spear. The sound was not loud, and he only saw the deputy general's spear flying in the air.
He passed over the tops of several big trees, broke into two parts and flew into the woods. Without even looking, Dian Wei reached out and grabbed the deputy general's horse rein, and put it into his arms: "Stop!"
The war horse involuntarily turned a 180-degree circle beside Dian Wei, and the horse's butt collided with Dian Wei's horse fiercely. When the deputy general came to his senses, he saw a huge black head in front of him, staring.
He looked at himself with two big black eyes, a bloody mouth full of black teeth, and when he smiled, the lieutenant general almost fainted due to the stench.
Dian Wei swung his halberd with his left hand and said, "Go down, your horse is pretty good, I, Old Dian, have taken a liking to it!"
The sharp iron halberd hit the deputy general's chest hard. The sound of broken bones was inaudible, but the deputy general heard it clearly. There were eight sounds in total, and the crackling sound was continuous, and the last sound seemed to come from the back.
.Suddenly I felt like I couldn't straighten my waist, and my whole body folded together and flew backwards.
Waiting for the tiger and leopard cavalry to be about twenty steps away from the dragon army, Xu Chu's gestures changed again. He held the tip of the broadsword under his arm and rushed forward. He shouted: "Charge!" He jumped up and charged first.
go out.
Dragon troops from all sides immediately swarmed in. The spears and halberds in their hands all moved in the same way as Xu Chu. With the speed of the war horse, he held the weapon in one hand and held the reins of the horse with the other. His body was almost leaning on the horse's back, facing him.
The heavy armored tiger and leopard knights showed no fear and rushed out.
"Bang!" Huge crashing sounds came from all directions. The tiger and leopard cavalry who were still struggling with the mud had weapons pressed against their chests. The huge impact of the horses pushed them away one after another. Although they might not fall to death, they were heavy
His armor was not suitable for ground combat at all, so he could only lie on the ground and wait for death.
The general roared angrily, brandished his sword, and charged towards Xu Chu. Xu Chu had the greatest impact. After pushing the three tigers and leopards off their horses, he withdrew his sword and slashed left and right. He knew that his sword
He couldn't cut through the heavy armor of the tiger and leopard knight, so he used the back of the knife. The thick back of the knife hit the tiger and leopard knight's body hard, and the force was by no means less than what Dian Wei had just done.
The general struck down with his sword, and Xu Chu raised his sword to meet him. The general still had some skills, and he made three moves in a row that made Xu Chu unable to fight back. With the fourth move, the general's movements were a little slow, and Xu Chu seized the opportunity and struck the sword hard with his backhand.
A muffled sound was heard on the general's back and in his ears. The general lay on the horse and vomited blood. After shaking twice, he could no longer sit on the saddle and fell to the ground.
In close combat, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were no match for these personal guards. Long Fei told them that the weakest part of the human body is the throat and various joints. Since the armor cannot penetrate, the throat is exposed. Long Jun's personal guards
He identified this spot, and the weapon circled back and forth at the throat of the tiger and leopard rider. The tiger and leopard rider he killed could only parry but not fight back. Most of them were killed in an instant.
Without the command of the general, the tiger and leopard cavalry could only fight on their own, entangled with the dragon army's guards. The four fierce generals went out to fight, killing the tiger and leopard cavalry and howling like ghosts. The horses' hoofs trampled the corpses on the ground, almost touching the soil
Stirred together. The land that was originally red has now turned purple.
After a stick of incense, the battle was declared over. The few remaining tiger and leopard riders huddled together and trembled. Looking at the Dragon Army guards who looked like hungry wolves on all sides, their only thought was to run away. What a pity.
With no way out, Xu Chu glanced at Long Fei.
Long Fei frowned and shook his head slightly. Xu Chu raised his knife and chopped off the head of a prisoner. The others naturally understood what Long Fei meant and wiped out all the remaining defeated soldiers without any effort.
Guo Jia let out a long breath: "Lord, it's not advisable to stay here for a long time. It's better for us to leave as soon as possible!"
Long Fei nodded: "If we kill this one, we will suffer a huge loss. If we encounter another one, we may not be so lucky!"
They counted the battlefield and killed a thousand tigers and leopards, including two generals. The dragon army lost a hundred people, and the rest of the soldiers were also injured, and some could no longer fight. Long Fei pursed his lips and thought for a moment: "Quick, change
Take their clothes, find all our people, take them back together, and then set a fire to burn this place!"
Everyone split up and the fire soon started. The humid air was filled with the choking smell of smoke and the aroma of roasted meat that could not be dissipated for a long time. They put the bodies of their soldiers on the horses ridden by tigers and leopards, and the group left the red soil.
The ridge walked out of the Taihang Mountains. The busy people in the fields looked at the group of dusty soldiers and the black smoke coming out of the red soil ridge. They didn't know what had happened, and they started talking about it.
Leaving the Taihang Mountains, crossing the river to the south is Chaoge, and crossing Chaoge is the Yellow River. Looking at the majestic Chaoge City, Long Fei had a bad feeling. Chaoge was also the capital of the previous dynasty. Thinking about it back then
The Shang Dynasty established its capital here and watched the world's heroes. Even though the Western Zhou Dynasty had gained two points of the world, it did not dare to act recklessly. If Shang Zhou had not doted on the demon concubine Daji, the Shang Dynasty would not have perished so quickly.
Guo Jia looked at Long Fei in a daze and asked, "My lord, are you worried that there is something wrong here?"
Long Fei nodded: "The news is that Cao Chun led three thousand tigers and leopards to search in three directions. We didn't meet anyone along the way. Chaoge is the only way to cross the river. I believe Cao Chun must have made arrangements here.
!”
"Then don't go into the city! Just go around it!" Dian Wei said.
Long Fei shook his head: "No, our injured brothers need medical treatment, and the supplies in Chaoge Ye, the further south we go, the more severe Cao Cao's blockade will be. We must seize every opportunity to supply."
"What should we do? There are only a few of us, and we are all injured. If we are ambushed, we may not be able to leave!" Dian Wei was also a little worried.
Guo Jiadao: "I have a plan to make Cao Chun quit Chaoge automatically!"
Long Fei really guessed it, Cao Chun led the tiger and leopard cavalry out of Yecheng, and immediately divided his troops into three groups. He led a group of tiger and leopard cavalry to search southward. No trace of Long Fei was found until they entered Chaoge City.
Cao Chun ordered the entire army to garrison Chaoge and sent letters to various crossings of the Yellow River. If there was any news about Long Fei, he would know immediately. However, after a few days, there was no news at all, and he was even more certain that Long Fei was still in Jizhou.
Looking at the map in front of him, Cao Chun tried hard to judge according to Long Fei's thinking, how he would deal with this kind of thing if Long Fei encountered it, and which path to take. After thinking about it for a whole day, he still couldn't figure it out. Long Fei never fought in a war.
Playing cards according to routines has no rules at all. Even Cao Cao was a little scared, so after learning about Long Fei's escape, he immediately ordered Cao Chun to lead the elite cavalry to intercept him.
"Report...! General, there is a wounded soldier outside the door and there is news about Long Fei!"
