Chapter 552 Why are there only leopard riders but no wolf riders?
Chapter 552 Why can I only see leopard riders but not wolf riders?
Xiyuxu—!
The Xianbei officers and men hurriedly reined in their horses and sat down, raising their heads and neighing loudly.
Xu Huang turned his head and looked around. Xianbei's cavalry in the front row galloped forward for a moment, then tightened their reins and quickly changed direction.
Once a herd of war horses starts galloping, it is difficult to stop.
Therefore, the cavalry in the front row need to continue to gallop forward and wait for the cavalry in the rear to slow down before they can complete the final collective slowdown and change direction.
And Xu Huang has been waiting for this moment!
"change!"
Give an order.
Xu Huang and others galloped together, preparing to change direction.
After all, they have no strategic depth and it is very easy to change direction.
Ba Tuobiao was stunned when he saw the movements of Xu Huang's soldiers and horses. His eyes almost exploded. He couldn't understand at all what kind of medicine the Nanyang Cavalry was selling in this gourd.
When they turned around and prepared to retreat, Xu Huang's cavalry also completed the turn and replaced their arrow boxes, ready to launch an attack at any time.
Seeing that Ba Tuobiao's team began to retreat, Xu Huang immediately ordered a chase. Whoosh, whoosh, a wave of arrows hit them. The killing effect was immediate, and scores of Xianbei cavalry fell one after another.
After all, this time, the opponent's back was facing him. Even if he turned to look back, his field of view and range of movement were all significantly restricted.
"That's right, let's fight like this!"
"Hit me hard."
Xu Huang couldn't believe his eyes.
This kind of attack method can actually be realized.
If you were inside your own army, you would definitely be able to think of a way to crack it.
Now, the reason for the fight is that the opponent does not understand this tactic and is not used to it: "Don't worry about the arrows, be sure to do the maximum damage in the shortest time."
According to the configuration of soldiers in the army, a cavalry can be equipped with ten quivers in total. One quiver is fully loaded with five crossbow arrows, and ten quivers are fifty arrows.
A conservative estimate is that one quiver can kill two cavalry, then ten quivers can kill twenty cavalry, and two thousand cavalry can equal the lethality of 40,000 cavalry.
certainly!
This situation is an ideal state.
In fact, soldiers and soldiers' choice of attack targets will overlap. The lethality of 40,000 cavalry should be regarded as a peak estimate, but even so, it can still greatly destroy the opponent's strength.
Unexpectedly, two waves of arrows attacked and killed the Xianbei cavalry, causing countless casualties. The corpses of horses and soldiers were everywhere, and some were even trampled into flesh. The death was horrific.
clang!
Ba Tuobiao held his saber and knocked away an incoming crossbow arrow. The anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed. It surged into his throat. He gritted his steel teeth in his mouth, as if he wished he could bite Xu Huang into pieces.
fragments.
"Damn it!"
Ba Tuobiao cursed secretly.
I originally thought of attacking with a hail of arrows so that the opponent would remember it for a long time.
But looking at the opponent's sparse and thin formation, the arrow rain attack is just a waste of resources and has no effect.
As a last resort, Ba Tuobiao could only give the order again: "Brothers, change the rear team to the front team and attack with me. This time, we must kill all the Nanyang Han army, leaving no one left!"
"kill-!"
The Xianbei cavalry were also filled with suppressed anger.
Without any explanation, they immediately reined in their horses and slowed down, preparing to change direction.
Xiyuxu—!
There seemed to be a trace of anger and hatred in the neighing of the war horses, one after another, and it was endless.
They also seemed to be very unhappy with the Xianbei soldiers. Not long after they had changed direction, they tried to change direction again, and the force was so great that your Grandpa Ma's neck was almost stretched.
"Xu Huang, the dog thief, if you dare, fight me to the death!"
Ba Tuobiao raised the saber in his hand, roared angrily at the top of his lungs.
pity
Xu Huang couldn't understand Xianbei dialect.
However, he could tell from the way the other person bared his teeth and grinned that there must be nothing good to say in his mouth.
Of course, Xu Huang doesn't care. On the battlefield, it's life and death. It's strange to have nice words to say.
However, this also proves that the opponent is already irritated by the kiting tactic, and the more this happens, the harder it is for the opponent to think carefully and get rid of the stickiness of the kiting tactic.
"Retreat quickly!"
Just when Dang Ba Tuo Biao led his troops to turn around.
Xu Huang gave the order again, changing direction and preparing to fight.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A wave of arrows flew past.
The Xianbei soldiers who were caught off guard once again fell like wheat.
Ba Tuobiao was angry and ordered a chase. He tried his best to close the distance between them. A wave of arrows came over them, but only a few people were lying on the ground, which had no effect on breaking the formation.
On the other hand, look at Xu Huang's army.
The successive arrow attacks were not only at short intervals, but also with high accuracy. Often when a wave of arrows fell, at least hundreds of corpses would lie down and be trampled into pulp.
The completely disproportionate ratio of battle losses was like a cold blade, piercing into Ba Tuobiao's heart. His initial anger gradually turned into fear.
because!
When he was about to leave in defeat, he found that the cavalry of the Han Army in Nanyang were like dog-skin plaster, clinging to him and constantly using their sacred kites and crossbows to kill the living forces in his unit.
As a result, the absolute numerical advantage at the beginning has turned into a tie all the way, and now it is smaller than Xu Huang's army, becoming the prey of the opponent's panic and fleeing.
"Damn it!"
"Damn it!"
"What kind of tactics is Nanyang Hanting using?"
"Why have we never seen each other before?"
Ba Tuobiao's heart suddenly galloped with thousands of horses galloping.
This horse is no ordinary horse, but the famous grass and mud horse.
Originally, he wanted to use his absolute advantage to directly crush his opponents and kill them all.
But in the end, he didn't even touch the opponent's soldiers and horses, and was killed completely. Although the delay was relatively long, it was at the cost of the lives of all the soldiers.
Damn it!
It's so frustrating.
The soldier next to him shouted: "General, what should we do? If this continues, our entire army will be annihilated."
Ba Tuobiao made a decision immediately and said sonorously: "Retreat to the rear quickly. I really don't believe it. Xu Huang has two thousand soldiers and horses. Do you really dare to fight all the way? Copy our army's retreat?"
"brothers."
Ba Tuobiao shouted sternly: "Return to the army quickly, without making any mistakes."
The soldiers responded hastily, without any of the arrogance they had at the beginning.
They all supported their bodies on their horses, holding the reins in one hand to adjust their direction at any time, and holding their sabers in one hand to guard against the arrows of Xu Huang's army.
Rumble—!
Xu Huang led his army in pursuit for a long time, looking at the smoke rising in front of him.
Obviously.
He has realized that the other party's intention is to test Bu Dugen's army so that he can retreat in the face of difficulties.
Xu Huang had to admit that the other party had done it.
He made a move with his hand: "Quickly stop the pursuit, turn to the southwest, and harass the enemy's troops attacking Kebineng."
All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Here."
The next second.
Red and green flags flashed.
The flying geese formation immediately broke away from the pursuit state and turned to the southwest.
Bu Dugen, who was directing the battle, looked at the remnants of the defeated soldiers and couldn't help but be stunned: "How is this possible? Xu Huang only has two thousand soldiers and horses. How can he be Ba Tuobiao's opponent?"
"Queju!"
Bu Dugen shouted loudly: "Where is Queju?"
Not long after, Que Ju came on horseback from behind: "Chanyu."
Bu Dugen stared: "What on earth is going on?"
Que Ju breathed out: "Ba Tuobiao said that Xu Huang had a strange way of arranging formations. He used the Shenyuan Crossbow as the main weapon and was constantly eating away at his troops. If he retreated a little later, the whole army might be destroyed.
They will all be destroyed.”
"Damn it!"
Bu Dugen didn't care about that much. He chewed it secretly and said sternly: "You also know that our attack has entered the most critical period and must not be stopped."
"Now that Xu Huang is turning to the southwest, it will definitely threaten the rhythm of our attack on Kebineng. If he is on the outside and mainly attacks with arrows, and cooperates with Kebineng inside and outside, we will definitely not be able to defeat Kebineng."
"I don't care what method you use, you must defeat Xu Huang in the shortest possible time. Even if it is difficult to defeat, you still need to isolate him and not disturb our army's attack."
Que Ju naturally understood the current situation, and there was no turning back. Even if the entire army was to be wiped out, they had to use all their strength. After all, they had no way out.
"Do not worry."
Que Ju patted his chest and promised: "I have sent people to follow Xu Huang, focusing on defense and expulsion. Once the countermeasures are discussed, they will be eliminated and will not disturb our attack."
"Nothing but Chanyu."
Que Ju looked at the battlefield and could vaguely hear the sound of thunder and fire. He felt unhappy: "You should also speed up here, otherwise Xu Huang will not attack, and Baima Yicong will come too!"
"At that time, there will be Xu Huang in the west and Baima in the east. The two sides will join forces and cooperate with Ke Bineng inside and outside. Even if we have more troops and horses, I am afraid it will be difficult to reverse the decline and can only be defeated. Once this happens, everything will be lost!"
How could Bu Dugen not know what Queju meant, but he couldn't reply. After all, the delay here was indeed longer, and the possibility of winning it in a short time was not high.
"do not worry."
As a last resort, Bu Dugen could only promise with a strong attitude: "Before the sun sets today, we will definitely conquer the Kebineng Department, but before that, no one will be allowed to disturb me."
Que Ju took a breath and said in a cold voice: "Don't worry, I'm here to the west and Murong is here to the east. We won't let others disturb you, but please hurry up and hurry up."
*****
Rumble—!
In the wilderness, war horses galloped.
A large flag with black characters on a yellow background is embroidered with a cheetah. This is the flag of the Leopard Cavalry. The word "yellow" below means its commander, Huang Zhong.
"General."
Army Commander Tai Shi Cice immediately stepped forward and stared at the troops ahead: "We have already caught up with General Zhang's baggage team. I think we are not far away from Kebi Neng's Ministry."
Huang Zhongshen thought it was so and nodded slowly: "Have you found the general?"
Taishi Ci said softly: "Cao Sima is looking for you."
"Report—!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a rapid announcement from the front.
Huang Zhong raised his eyes and looked.
However, Cao Xing came with Chen Gong on horseback: "General Huang, this is Chen Gongtai, the chief officer under General Zhang. He is responsible for the transportation of grain, grass and ordnance."
Chen Gong, who was secretly watching, hurriedly looked away, bowed his head, and said with a smile: "I'm in Chen Gong, I've met Old General Huang."
"Nice to meet you."
Huang Zhong smiled lightly at Chen Gong, cupped his hands and said, "Chen Changshi is polite. Huang would like to ask, how far is it from now on to Kebi Nengbu and how long does it take?"
The team arrived in such a hurry that they didn't even get a detailed map and could only move forward in a general direction, which was very detrimental to the march.
Chen Gong had already expected it, so he hurriedly took out the map from his arms and handed it over: "Old General Huang, this is the simple map I have prepared. From here to Kebi Nengbu, it is about 120 miles away. If we hurry up,
It can be reached in one day.”
Huang Zhong took the map and his eyes rolled up and down.
Have to admit it.
Although this is not a standard map, the various attention points are marked very clearly. Even a fool can understand how to march, let alone Huang Zhong, who has experienced hundreds of battles.
"Thank you Chen Changshi."
Huang Zhong put away the map and bowed his hands: "In that case, we will take our leave and try to reach Kebinengbu as soon as possible."
Chen Gong hurriedly interrupted Huang Zhong: "Old General, wait a minute."
Huang Zhong frowned: "Why, does Chen Changshi have other things?"
Chen Gong glanced at everyone and asked tentatively: "Why are there only leopard riders but no wolf riders?"
Huang Zhong explained: "Oh, the Wolf Cavalry is right behind. Their speed is relatively slow, but it's only half a day's journey. I believe Chang Shi will see General Lu soon."
"I see."
Chen Gong breathed a sigh of relief and bowed his hands.
Huang Zhong nodded: "In that case, let's take our leave first."
drive-!
The rumble of horse hooves sounded.
Huang Zhong personally led the leopard cavalry and went straight to Kebineng's ministry.
On the way, Tai Shici asked tentatively: "Old General, what does Chen Changshi mean?"
Huang Zhong smiled: "It's very simple. I still can't trust us. We have few troops. It must be difficult to fundamentally rescue Kebineng. There are thousands of elite wolf riders, and Lu Bu is quite famous. This is his
Home court.”
"snort."
Cao Xing snorted on the side, with a touch of disdain on his face: "This is indeed General Lu's home court, but our Leopard Cavalry will never lose to the Wolf Cavalry when it comes to individual combat capabilities. Let them take a look at me in this battle."
Military capability."
Taishi Ci said with deep understanding: "That's right, you dare to look down on us. It's simply unreasonable. The wolf cavalry is indeed powerful, but its speed is too slow. I think Bu Dugen will have been defeated by the time they pass by."
"Let's hurry up, try to defeat him, and completely wipe out Bu Dugen's group, so as to shock all the Xianbei tribes and let them know how powerful our Han cavalry is."
Huang Zhong had already had this intention: "In that case, we should hurry up and go straight to Kebi Neng Department."
All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Here."
Rumble—!
Like a hurricane sweeping past, the Leopard Cavalry could only see its shadow but not its body.
After all, they are carefully selected war horses with the blood of Yanqi horses from the Western Regions. In terms of speed, they are by no means comparable to ordinary war horses.
