Chapter 200 Deng Zhi is shocked! Can anyone in the wolf ride break the mandarin duck formation?
On the road to Goat Pass.
The smoke and dust billowed like a torrent.
The team passed a detour.
Han Dang did not hesitate and ordered again:
"Bows and arrows ready."
All the soldiers twisted their bows and set arrows in unison, twisted their bodies at 180 degrees on their horses, raised their precious bows to the sky, and looked through the smoke and dust in search of the wolf riders that followed.
"Fire the arrow!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A wave of arrows suddenly struck, causing the Wolf Rider, who had just turned the corner and whose field of vision had not yet fully opened, to eat a wave of VIP-level arrows.
Although doing this repeatedly has made the Wolf Cavalry obviously wary, and the killing effect is not as good as expected, it has greatly reduced its speed and effectively suppressed its attacking rhythm.
"quick!"
Han Dang shouted sharply: "The target is Goat's Pass, move forward at full speed."
In fact, Han Dang originally just wanted to lure some of the wolf cavalry to chase him, but he never thought that Lu Bu would be too easy to take on. After just one wave of confrontation, he led all the wolf cavalry to pursue and kill him without stopping.
Crazy!
Lu Bu is simply crazy!
You must know that after crossing the Goat Pass, they were not far from Dagong Pass. The wolf cavalry was equivalent to chasing them from Guangcheng Pass to Dagong Pass. Even for the cavalry, there was still a distance of several hours.
Even Han Dang couldn't help but be amazed by such perseverance.
If Zhang Liao, Sun Jian, and Liu Chong had not been responsible for cutting off the rear, they might not have been able to hold on until now, and would have been overwhelmed by Lu Bu's powerful personal force.
It's really cruel!
Rumble~~~
The ground is moving and the mountains are shaking.
Han Dang led his troops and turned around again. When he was preparing to attack with bows and arrows and suppress the opponent's attack rhythm, he suddenly discovered that the quiver under the saddle was empty.
"Damn it!"
Han Dang cursed secretly and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Do you still have arrows?"
The cavalrymen all around responded: "No more."
"I don't have any anymore."
"It's all lit up."
"what to do?"
"..."
Han Dang had no choice but to speak with his steel teeth: "Go forward at full speed and go straight to Dagu Pass to meet up with His Highness."
All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Promise."
When passing by Goat Pass.
Faintly, a voice seemed to be shouting.
Han Dang's hearing was sharp and he raised his eyes to look at the slopes on both sides.
But see...
A familiar figure was standing sideways next to a tree, waving and cheering to the army.
It’s Deng Zhi, the mandarin duck army!
When Han Dang turned around to look, Deng Zhi also discovered him.
He shouted at the top of his lungs, and even compared his hands to knife-like shapes and placed them across his neck.
Although Deng Zhi's voice was drowned in the sound of horse hooves, Han Dang guessed the other party's intention immediately.
He tried to search carefully, and sure enough, he found traces of the Yuanyang Army's exclusive weapon, the Langzhen, in the woods.
That’s right!
Deng Zhi has already set up an ambush.
He will hunt down all the wolves in this goat's pass.
Han Dang kept nodding, indicating to Deng Zhi that he understood.
Without hesitation.
Han Dang sternly ordered: "Quickly cross the Goat Pass to create conditions for the Yuanyang Army to ambush."
The morale of all the soldiers in the army skyrocketed: "No."
At this moment, all the soldiers were galloping faster than before.
Rumble~~
The cry rumbled and rolled away.
Deng Zhi raised the corners of her lips slightly, secretly admiring Han Dang's ability to comprehend.
He is indeed a veteran with more than ten years of combat experience. He can understand it with just a few hints.
Watching the cavalrymen driving away, Deng Zhi patiently waited for them all to pass.
suddenly!
There was a crashing sound of gold and iron from behind.
In the smoke and dust, Zhang Liao and Sun Jian were fighting with Lu Bu.
King Chen Liu Chong was riding a horse and shooting arrows. He stretched his stone bow one after another and shot left and right. Whenever the cavalry wanted to attack Zhang Liao or Sun Jian, they would be attacked with arrows, either to force them back or to kill them.
In fact, there were about hundreds of these elite cavalry, but during the continuous pursuit, they were shot and killed by Han Dang and Liu Chong, leaving only a few dozen elite cavalry.
They were about seven or eight feet away from the front army Han Dang, but hundreds of feet away from the rear army's wolf cavalry brigade.
Deng Zhi marveled at Lu Bu's bravery and secretly laughed at his stupidity.
The time for showing off personal bravery has long passed.
No matter how strong you are alone, what's the use if all three armies are defeated!
His Highness's conclusion is indeed good. Wolf Riding simulates a wolf pack battle. As long as the Wolf King can be killed, there is nothing to fear. However, if the Wolf King cannot do anything, the wolf cubs under his command can be fatal.
Looking at the team that was gradually speeding away, Deng Zhi felt secretly happy.
He did not dare to hesitate at all and gave the order sonorously:
"Quick, iron caltrop formation!"
Phew! Phew! Phew!
Bag after bag of caltrops were thrown into the narrow channel like a goddess scattering flowers.
Although this iron caltrop formation is only about ten feet long, once the wolf riders step into it, chaos will definitely occur.
What Deng Zhi needs is not lethality, but to keep the Wolf Riders in absolute chaos.
Only in this way can he take advantage of the chaos and launch a swift attack on the Wolf Cavalry.
The diffuse smoke and dust obscured the wolf rider's field of vision, and even after all the hundreds of bags of caltrops were thrown away, he still could not find any sharp objects on the ground in front of him.
Small horse traps such as caltrops, thorn balls, grass needles, goose necks, water chestnuts, and soap locusts are low in cost. When used, they only need to be inserted in a large area and thrown on the ground to target the horses' hooves.
It has a certain effect of damaging the horse.
According to the physiological structure of the horse's hoof, the cuticle of the hoof sole is relatively weak. As long as the caltrops can pierce the cuticle of the hoof sole, it can penetrate into the subcutaneous tissue, causing pain and injury.
Since most of Dong Zhuo's men were cavalry, when he was in Nanyang, Liu Bian sent people to make a large amount of caltrops, which were stored in cloth bags and carried with them by the soldiers to prevent the cavalry from chasing and killing them, or to restrict the cavalry at critical moments.
The opponent launches a counterattack.
Rumble~~~
The wolf cavalry from behind came in overwhelming numbers.
The moment the front army stepped into the iron caltrop formation, the sound of roaring horses suddenly sounded like thunder. Even Deng Zhi, who was hiding on the hillside, could feel the heartbreaking pain through the sound.
Look around.
All the wolf riders in the iron caltrop formation lost their horses and fell to the ground. The horses running behind them had no time to dodge and bumped into them one after another. It was like a large car accident scene, it was too tragic to watch.
Take this opportunity.
Deng Zhi ordered without hesitation: "Do it!"
Whoosh!
The sounding arrow takes off.
A large number of soldiers stood on the hillsides on both sides.
They took up their bows and arrows and shot at the wolf cavalry below.
There are no crossbowmen in the Yuanyang Formation because firearms were already used in combat in the Ming Dynasty.
The spearmen and chai-palladium men in the formation loaded rockets on their spears and chai-palladium respectively. During the battle, they first fired the rockets in front of the formation, and then retreated into the formation. They also served as crossbowmen.
However, in the context of the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms era, firearms had not yet been produced, so Liu Bian could only order people to wear crossbows and temporarily restore the function of crossbowmen.
After two rounds of arrow rain, the wolf riders who came later attracted the attention. At this moment, they continued to kill with bows and arrows, but the effect was greatly reduced.
Deng Zhi knew this very well.
therefore.
He did not hesitate and ordered sonorously:
"Come on!"
"kill-!"
All the soldiers shouted in unison, and their morale soared.
They put away their long bows and put on their own weapons. In the form of a three-talented formation, they stood down from a high position and swooped down quickly, like tigers descending from the mountain, and started a brutal massacre of the cubs who had lost the protection of the Wolf King.
"There's an ambush!"
"Watch your left and right sides!"
"..."
There was a hysterical command sound among the wolf riders.
The Wolf Cavalry soldiers, who have experienced hundreds of battles, adjusted their positions as quickly as possible.
but......
Faster.
It's the Yuanyang Army swooping down all the way.
Deng Zhi held a war spear and led his elite team to rush towards the wolf cavalry.
Phew~~
Just when he was about to reach the front of the wolf cavalry, the opponent's war spear pierced his face.
As Deng Zhi dodged sideways, the boring palladium roared behind him.
clang!
A crisp sound.
Accurately knocking away the wolf cavalry's war spear.
At the same time, Deng Zhi stepped forward and rushed forward. The war spear in his palm was like a dragon rising out of the sea. With a pop, it pierced the opponent's heart and lungs accurately.
Then, he shook his right hand violently, and the strange force was transmitted along the spear shaft to the spearhead. While easily pulling out the spearhead, he threw the body of the war horse away.
call!
At the same time, Lang Zhen on the left swung with great force to deflect all three spears thrust from the other side, protecting the main attacker Deng Zhi while also creating an excellent opportunity for him to take action.
.
Phew! Phew!
Deng Zhi was fine if he didn't take action, but when he did it was lightning and flint.
As if in the blink of an eye, the two closest Wolf Cavalry soldiers were stabbed in the center and throat with a spear, all of which were vital parts, and died on the spot.
.....
The Yuanyang Army soldiers fought in a cooperative manner.
Deng Zhi was well versed in this method, and the entire army was well-trained and cooperated with each other tacitly.
In an instant, Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was killed, and corpses lay all over the field, with blood and water splashing, and broken limbs and arms flying in all directions.
The Bingzhou Langqi, who had already fallen into the trap and were trapped in a tight siege, were now even more panicked. They could only fight with exhaustion and were unable to fight back.
certainly!
The most important thing is the terrain here.
The soil slopes on both sides are high, with a narrow road in the middle, eight bends and nine twists.
It is extremely conducive to elite infantry operations such as the Yuanyang Army, but not conducive to the charge of soldiers and horses such as the Wolf Cavalry.
With the other side declining and the other rising, it is natural that Wolf Cavalry should suffer this defeat.
but......
When the shrill roar of horses sounded from behind.
Lu Bu, who was suffering from a fierce battle and could not get rid of the entanglement, was suddenly startled.
He knocked away Sun Jian's stabbing horse with a spear, and then flipped it back with his backhand. With a clear clang, he caught Zhang Liao's horse. Taking this opportunity, he turned around and glanced behind him, feeling astonishment rising in his heart.
Xiyuxu!
More terrible things followed one after another.
The cavalry led by Han Dang had stopped fleeing and was reining in their horses and turning around.
Once the formation of the rear team is changed to the front team, it will be a terrible disaster for the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry!
Lu Bu did not dare to hesitate at all, and immediately shouted at the top of his lungs: "Retreat! Retreat quickly! I will cut off the rear!"
Just because you can't kill it doesn't mean you can't retreat.
Lü Bu used his strength violently, knocking Zhang Liao's weapon away again, and at the same time, he feinted with his spear and forced Sun Jian back. He reined in his horse and turned away, putting some distance between himself and the two men.
The frightened elite wolf riders turned their horses around and galloped towards the horses behind them. When they got closer, they discovered the scattered iron caltrops on the ground.
It's obvious.
This was just laid out when they left here.
The distance is not long, and the number is also not large.
But for the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, it was fatal enough.
"quick!"
Song Xian made a decisive decision: "Quickly dismount and pass through this section before the thieves have completed their formation change."
The wolf riders beside him responded one after another, dismounted hurriedly, put their feet on the ground, led the horse on foot, and moved forward quickly.
Behind him, Song Xian and other elites all had crossbows in hand, always alert to surprise attacks from both sides.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Lu Bu fought fiercely against Sun Jian and Zhang Liao alone, and did not lose at all. After being stunned to force a retreat for Song Xian and others, he just fought and retreated, shouting loudly:
"Quickly retreat!"
"withdraw!"
at the same time.
Han Dang's troops also completed their formation changes.
After fleeing all the way, their fighting spirit was high at this moment. They picked up the war spears in their hands and launched the fastest attack against the wolf riders in the narrow passage:
"Kill~~~"
Give an order.
Tremendous shouts of killing resounded throughout the battlefield.
The waves of cavalry came like a torrent.
The wolf riders who were fighting fiercely were so frightened that their faces turned green. They reined in their horses and turned around, panicking, desperately trying to escape from death. Collisions, tramples, and cannibalism occurred one after another.
Seeing that it was difficult to reverse the defeat, Lu Bu chewed something secretly, and immediately reined the horse to the side. While reining in the reins, he pinched the horse's belly. The red rabbit colt raised its head and neighed, leaped up the slope, and flew backwards.
"Damn it!"
Sun Jian stared at Lu Bu who was escaping, grinning in anger and furious: "If Lu Bu didn't have the red rabbit horse, he would definitely die in this battle. What a pity."
"Okay."
Zhang Liao didn't care what happened to Lu Bu at all. He focused his eyes on the defeated Wolf Cavalry and was ecstatic in his heart: "Don't worry about Lu Bu, just attack quickly and kill as many as you can!"
Sun Jian raised his hand across his chest, fierce fighting intent flashing in his eyes: "That's exactly what I meant!"
Zhang Liao cheered up and danced: "Kill~~~"
The two men rushed out from the left and right, stabbing the fleeing Wolf Rider in the butt.
Beat up the drowned dog, now!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The golden sound exploded, and the sparks burst out.
In the blink of an eye, Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry suffered countless casualties.
Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Zhang Liao reined in his horse and shouted loudly to Deng Zhi: "Bo Miao, I'll leave it to you to deal with it. I'll go to Guangcheng Pass to provide support."
Deng Zhi stabbed a wolf rider to death with a spear and responded loudly: "General Zhang will go on your own, leave this place to the last general!"
Zhang Liao was overjoyed and waved: "Brothers, follow me to support Guangcheng Pass."
The cavalry shouted: "No."
After Zhang Liao led the cavalry to leave, Deng Zhi led the Yuanyang Army troops and began the final cleanup of the Wolf Cavalry.
suddenly.
A voice came from behind: "Sima, our brothers have encountered a group of thieves and can't capture them no matter what. Go and have a look."
It’s Deng Peng!
Deng Zhi judged it all at once, and he looked back abruptly: "What? Are there still thieves that the Yuanyang Formation can't take down?"
Deng Pengfei nodded quickly and said hurriedly: "More than ten brothers were killed by this thief. If we hadn't been in large numbers and surrounded him, this thief would have escaped from the slope long ago."
"What a thief!"
When Deng Zhi heard this, he became furious and immediately waved his hand: "Let's go and see who he is who has such ability."
