Now that the battle has begun, Prince Wulu is certain that the opponent in front of him is definitely the legendary Lu Xu.
Before, Prince Wulu did not completely believe that Lu Xu was really as powerful as the legend said. After all, the Beiting people always had the upper hand in the battle with Daliang people, and they always had a sense of superiority towards the Daliang people.
.
But he did think about it, what should he do if Lu Xu really lived up to his name? What he thought more about was, once Lu Xu lived up to his name, what would be the benefit if he defeated Lu Xu?
He never thought that Lu Xuzhen would be his equal, or even a stronger opponent than him.
However, when the battle started, he realized that he might not be able to defeat Lu Xu even if his troops were of equal strength.
The soldiers in front have already been strangled together, or rather...
The Beiting people's light cavalry were still massacred by the Xin'an army!
With the Xin'an Army's current equipment level, no matter what kind of arms the opponent is? As long as it is not a heavily armed force, it will not pose a threat to them if the troops are of equal strength.
Not to mention, this is a light cavalry unit that is bound by the mountains and forests and cannot raise its speed. The Xin'an Army kills them easily!
Looking at the situation in front of him, Lu Xu felt a little lucky in his heart.
Unlike those opponents in the past, even if the battle situation was extremely unfavorable to them, the Beiting people showed no signs of being defeated. The Beiting people's fighting will indeed exceeded Lu Xu's estimation.
Lu Xu felt that it would be a good thing for his soldiers to meet the Beiting people in this situation.
At least they can first establish a psychological advantage over the Beiting people. In this way, even if they face the Beiting people's heavy troops or fight against the Beiting people at a disadvantage, the soldiers of the Xin'an Army will still be able to defeat the Beiting people.
There will be no psychological burden.
Prince Wulu also saw that his troops did not seem to be Lu Xu's opponent. Although the Beiting cavalry did not have any intention of being timid, they were obviously dazzled by anger and unwillingness. Everyone wanted to fight desperately.
to overwhelm the enemy's front.
However, allowing the cavalry to attack the well-formed hoplite phalanx is asking them to die. Not to mention, the cavalry cannot pick up speed.
Prince Wulu knew that he could not continue fighting like this, so he immediately ordered his men to issue an order to withdraw their troops.
When the Beiting soldiers in front heard the order, everyone looked angry and dissatisfied, but they had to obey the prince's order. They could only prepare to leave the battle with this anger and unwillingness.
But, how could Lu Xu let them run away so easily?
He immediately led his troops behind them and continuously struck them with bows and arrows.
Many Beiting soldiers felt that Lu Xu had gone too far and wanted to turn around and fight. However, Prince Wulu's orders became more urgent and more determined. They had no choice but to obey the orders and retreat.
Prince Wulu's idea was to temporarily break away from the battle, and then wait until the terrain was more favorable to them before fighting Lu Xu.
He has already guessed that Lu Xu will definitely go to Wei'an Fort. As far as he knows, there is a relatively flat land near Wei'an Fort. Lu Xu once fought a decisive battle with a bandit there. Now he can also take advantage of it.
It served as the battlefield for the decisive battle between himself and Lu Xu.
After Prince Wulu and his troops completely left the battlefield, Lu Xu had nothing to do with him. Lu Xu brought 1,500 people over this time. Although there were a few horses among them, most of them were pulling horses.
Even if there are war horses, it is impossible for so many people to catch up with a cavalry unit.
Also because the mobility of his own troops was not as good as others, Lu Xu could only think of going to Wei'an Fort to defend it first.
As long as the large army of Beiting people did not come, he could first find a way to eliminate Prince Wulu in Wei'an Fort.
After driving away Prince Wulu, Lu Xu began to gather the nearby refugees who were killed by Prince Wulu and count his losses.
There is a saying that although the performance of the Beiting Light Cavalry in the first round of fighting between the two sides was remarkable, their overall performance was not very good. They never really caused trouble to the Xin'an Army.
Therefore, the losses of the Xin'an Army this time can be said to be minimal. Only 33 people were actually killed or lost combat effectiveness. Lu Xu estimated that the Beiting people lost at least 200 people and 300 horses this time.
However, even so, the Beiting people were not the ones who suffered the most heavy losses. The people who suffered the most heavy losses were the refugees, whose casualties were counted in the thousands.
Lu Xu looked at the corpses of the refugees on the ground, his face was livid and scary. He finally understood why the people of Qin Feng Road hated the people of Beiting to the core, and at the same time were so afraid of the people of Beiting?
Because these people are really a bunch of beasts!
Lu Xu took a deep breath, and his eyes became sharp.
At this time, Xie Zhen also came over with a gloomy face and said to Lu Xu: "Sir, these bastards are really not human beings! We have to find a way to avenge the villagers!"
Lu Xu nodded: "That's right! If you don't teach the Beiting people a profound lesson, they will think that we Daliang people are easy to bully."
Xie Zhen spat hard: "Sir, tell me. What should we do?"
Lu Xu looked at the Xin'an Army soldiers around him. Because of the record constraints of the Xin'an Army, no one among the soldiers publicly stood up to express their opinions, but the blazing anger in their eyes still exposed their true thoughts.
Lu Xu said coldly: "There is a large open space in front of the gate of Wei'an Fort. The Beiting people's cavalry can start there, and it is their best battlefield. As long as we enter Wei'an Fort, they will take advantage of us.
way."
"So I conclude that the commander of the Beiting people will definitely fight us there!"
Xie Zhen's eyes lit up: "Sir, do you want to fight them there?"
Lu Xu said: "Not only! This time we are going to play something new and make these Beiting people pay a price!"
Xie Zhen's eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light: "Okay! Sir, tell me, what should we do?"
Lu Xu immediately arranged for people to gather the refugees and distribute food to them. At the same time, he held a small military meeting on the spot.
When the Xin'an Army and its predecessor, the Wei'anbao Regiment, practiced combat in the past, they generally acted as one unit. Because the units at that time were not large in size, there was no need to fight separately.
But this time, in order to annihilate Prince Wulu's effective forces as much as possible, Lu Xu decided to have his troops conduct dispersed and coordinated operations in units of fifty to one hundred people.
This can be considered a new attempt by Xin'an Army!
At the same time, Prince Wulu had just finished the battle damage statistics. Prince Wulu looked very ugly when he saw the losses of his troops!
