The Leopard Cavalry is a team carefully built by the imperial court. Whether it is equipment or training, it is beyond the imagination of ordinary teams. If placed in modern society, it would definitely be a special forces level existence.
They practice horse riding, archery, and chopping every day. Sometimes they even split into two groups to practice sparring, with experts competing against each other to create such a high-quality team.
Nowadays, encountering a team like Xianbei that only has superb cavalry is, in a sense, a complete dimensionality reduction attack. The two are not the same.
Bu Dugen, who was directing the battle, suddenly felt an unusual murderous aura in the west. He turned his head quickly and saw that his defeated troops were running away like crazy as if they had encountered a ghost, and even their own flags were missing.
There is no trace of them.
"what happened?"
Bu Dugen asked hurriedly, with a touch of anger flashing in his eyes.
If an accident occurs at this time, the previous efforts will be reduced to ashes, and it may even affect your own safety and risk your life.
but
Bu Dugen was obviously quite calm.
After all, he has experienced hundreds of battles and can roughly judge the number of enemy troops just from the sound of the ground movement. Compared with before, he can roughly judge that the number of enemy troops has not changed much.
Que Ju, who came to watch the battle, also realized that something was wrong. When he looked up, he was even more horrified. His own flags had disappeared, and the soldiers who were running away in panic were nowhere to be found.
"this"
Que Ju was completely confused and didn't know what happened for a while.
He stared straight ahead.
But see
In the torrent of smoke and dust, a large banner fluttered in the wind. The spotted cheetah on it was particularly eye-catching, and a large "yellow" character was printed in Queju's eyes.
Although he didn't understand Chinese characters very well, he could tell at a glance that they were Chinese characters. From this, he inferred that the people coming must be the Han army, and they were definitely not the same team as Xu Huang.
In other words, reinforcements came from the Han Dynasty.
And it was a cavalry group coming from the west.
The answer was ready to come out, and it had already appeared in Que Ju's mind: "Chanyu, what's wrong, the person coming should be the Leopard Cavalry from Nanyang Hanting, and their reinforcements have already arrived."
"Leopard Rider?"
Budugen obviously didn't believe it.
Because he was very aware of the whereabouts of Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, and Xu Chu. According to common sense, they should arrive a few days later than him, but he never thought that they would arrive at the battlefield at noon on the day he sent troops.
Although the cavalry is fast, even Budugen himself cannot believe that the cavalry can reach such a fast speed, because he cannot do it himself, so he judged that it is impossible for a big man to do it.
"impossible!"
"This is absolutely impossible!"
Bu Dugen shook his head without hesitation: "How could there be such cavalry in this world? They are so fast."
Before he finished speaking, the defeated troops in front were getting closer and closer, and the appearance of the Great Banner became clearer and clearer. Que Ju interrupted again: "Chanyu, you should know the flag of Leopard Cavalry. Look, it is really Leopard Cavalry."
."
Bu Dugen's eyes narrowed, and he stared straight ahead. He suddenly took a breath of cold air, and a heartfelt shiver instantly surged through his body: "Is this really a Leopard Rider?"
"quick!"
Bu Dugen hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Send someone to attack immediately. Make sure there is no mistake. The Leopard Cavalry is relatively weak. If the rescue is timely, it may not cause a big disaster."
Que Ju gritted his teeth, frowned, and was worried: "Shan Yu, where can I still have people now? They have all been sent to the front line, why not let Murong go, Baima Yicong has been silent, I think Fu Luohan surrounded him
Already."
"good."
Before Que Ju could speak, Murong Yan beside him nodded: "I will send someone over immediately, but before that, you must be able to withstand it. Looking at this situation, the Leopard Cavalry's combat effectiveness must be quite good."
Bu Dugen naturally knew this.
The cavalry led by Xu Huang were just miscellaneous cavalry from Nanyang Hanting.
But despite this, he still beat Ba Tuobiao so hard that he was unable to fight back. The soldiers and horses he sent were able to force Xu Huang to an inch, but when the Leopard Cavalry came, he was easily defeated in an instant.
Break defense.
In comparison, the combat effectiveness of the Leopard Cavalry is evident.
Bu Dugen knew that Murong Yan was right, and immediately ordered: "Immediately send an order for my personal guards to go and stop the Leopard Cavalry. Remember not to underestimate the enemy, but focus on interception."
The messenger nodded and said, "As ordered."
The next second.
The Budugen Guards in the rear received the order, turned their horses one by one, and charged straight towards the elite Leopard Cavalry who were charging towards them from the west.
At the same time, Murong Yan was also sending orders to his troops, ordering them to immediately change direction and come to intercept the enemy.
In an instant, the sound of hoofbeats was like rain, and the horses were like dragons. Murong Yan's elite horse, which was circling from behind, was galloping all the way. It really felt like a huge wave was rolling into the sky, and it was surging.
The Queju Jingqi who were fleeing seemed to be resurrected with full health in an instant. Each one of them became arrogant again, reined in their horses and turned around, intending to confront the Leopard Cavalry head-on, using force to fight against force.
Huang Zhong was also aware of the enemy's support. Two troops with over a thousand troops came from different directions, like a huge net, covering him without any fancy.
Obviously.
They wanted to catch all the Leopard Riders and completely encircle and annihilate them.
However, although the Leopard Cavalry has fewer soldiers, its individual combat capability is stronger than that of the Wolf Cavalry. They are just a nail, not a net, that can cover them.
Huang Zhong waved his horse and swept away a Xianbei cavalry. He looked past several layers of cavalry and landed on Taishi Ci who was shooting a bow and arrow not far away. He shouted loudly:
"Ziyi!"
"Leave this place to you, I'll intercept enemy reinforcements."
Taishi Ci killed a Xianbei cavalryman with one arrow. He raised his eyes and glanced ahead. The torrent of smoke and dust came in, which was really shocking: "Okay, general, don't worry. After they are dealt with, we will rush to support immediately."
Huang Zhong shouted "Okay", immediately clamped the horse's belly, rushed forward, put on the precious eagle bow, drew out the feather arrows, and fired a flurry of arrows at the enemy troops galloping in front of him.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The arrows flew out one after another, one after another like meteors. The enemy troops that were speeding in front of them fell to the ground one after another. If you look closely, you will see that they are all hitting the target, which is extremely terrifying.
You must know that such a distance exceeds the effective range of ordinary arrows. The average range of soldiers on the leopard cavalry is more than 70 steps. The average range of the army commander can even reach 80 steps!
The Leopard Cavalry took the lead and immediately stunned Bu Dugen's personal guards!
It should be noted that they have always been famous for their proficiency in riding and archery. They are also the best among the entire Xianbei in central China. But this time, before they could even flex their bows and arrows, they were caught off guard by a wave of arrows from the leopard cavalry.
.
It really pales in comparison and is so shameful!
Just as Bu Dugen's cavalry was marveling at the Leopard Cavalry's archery skills, Huang Zhong and other warriors were already approaching. They had spears in one hand and steel knives in the other, stabbing, hacking, and slashing without stopping.
It was as if depth bombs jumped into the Xianbei army formation one after another. In an instant, there were multiple explosions. People were thrown off their horses, limbs and arms were broken, and they were flying in all directions. The elite cavalry on the outside fired arrows at them. Hard to defend.
When Bu Dugen, who was directing the battle, saw this situation, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. His own bodyguards were so vulnerable in front of the Leopard Cavalry.
You must know that in his original impression, Xianbei, Qianghu, and Wuhuan were the kings of cavalry. The Han Dynasty was powerful in defense, and the most powerful was the infantry. In terms of cavalry, they were no match for them.
But this time.
Bu Dugen's eyes were completely opened.
He couldn't believe that his own bodyguards were killed in pieces like this, without the slightest ability to fight back.
Originally, they planned to let the guards entangle the Leopard Cavalry and delay it until Murong Yan's troops arrived, but now it seems that even if Murong Yan's troops can arrive in time, he is afraid that his own army will be killed. .
The most important thing is!
Even Bu Dugen's personal guards were no match for the Nanyang cavalry. Although Murong Yan's cavalry was numerous, could they be a match for the Nanyang cavalry?
It is clear!
the answer is negative.
Although both sides are cavalry, they are not in the same dimension at all.
No matter in terms of mobility or combat effectiveness, they are no match for Nanyang Hanting.
Looking back, I glanced at the dying Kebineng camp. The camp was about to be destroyed, indicating that it would not be long before Kebineng's entire army was annihilated, and victory was within easy reach.
But
It seems they can't wait any longer.
Bu Dugen was anxious and gritted his teeth, not knowing what to do.
Que Ju's eyes were as wide as bells, and his heart was shocked: "Chanyu, I'm afraid they can't stop them. Do we still want to persist? Even if we take Kebineng now, I'm afraid we will face a big battle."
"Don't forget."
Speaking of this, Que Ju reminded: "Wolf Cavalry and Leopard Cavalry always go to battle together. Leopard Cavalry is fast and comes to the battlefield first. Wolf Cavalry is bound to be behind. Even if we kill Ke Bineng, we may not be able to escape."
Murong Yan was also a little panicked: "Yes, there are nearly over 10,000 wolf cavalry and horses, the eight major captains are all very brave, and Lu Bu is in charge. If they gather together, even if we have more troops, I am afraid we will not be their opponent."
Although Bu Dugen had never fought against the Wolf Cavalry, many years ago, following his father's battles, he had fought against Lu Bu. They were very aware of Lu Bu's strength.
Now, he has commanded Nanyang Hanting's ace wolf cavalry army. Each of the eight captains are brave and invincible generals, and their combat effectiveness is bound to be stronger than before.
This can be seen from the combat effectiveness of the Leopard Cavalry today, and the Leopard Cavalry is less powerful and is not good at frontal combat, so it is only suitable for chasing and killing. The Wolf Cavalry has nearly 10,000 horses, which is suitable for cavalry melee on the grassland.
But
He was about to capture Kebineng, but he gave up at this moment?
The most important thing is that they paid a heavy price for this, but it has no effect at all, which is really disappointing.
Bu Dugen frowned, knowing that Que Ju and Murong Yan's words were true. He just felt as if something was stuffed in his chest. It was difficult to describe the unwilling feeling.
At this moment.
Murong Yan's soldiers and horses also killed them, and the mountains and seas collided with each other like mountains and seas. The few leopard cavalry were supposed to be broken like eggs with one blow and fell apart.
However, like steel needles, they used super high speed and combat effectiveness to divert from both sides before Murong Yan's cavalry arrived, returning the main battlefield to Xu Huang, while they continued on the periphery.
Click to kill.
In fact, if it were another team, it would definitely not have such a good effect, but the Leopard Cavalry took action, and the arrows hit every target. The effect was immediate, and the feeling of fear spread throughout the entire army in an instant.
Although this cavalry had a numerical advantage, in the face of the harassment and surprise attack by the leopard cavalry, with the cooperation of Xu Huang's cavalry, they were at a disadvantage and could not gain any advantage at all.
Murong Yan gritted her teeth, with a hint of anger on her brows: "Chanyu, you can't hesitate any longer. If this continues, our entire army will be annihilated."
Que Ju felt quite unhappy after hearing this. After all, Murong Yan's losses were the least, and as one of the main forces, he lost a lot of troops.
but
Now that the two of them have the same purpose, Queju will not be too specific. Instead, he will focus on Bu Dugen, and his tone will not contain any warmth:
"Chanyu, if the whole army is annihilated, we are afraid that we will become the laughing stock of others. You must think carefully about this matter and make it useful so that you can take revenge in the future."
Bu Dugen certainly understands the current situation, but he also has his own considerations: "Retreating now can certainly save yourself, but if you can't even fight the Leopard Cavalry head-on, how can you deal with its pursuit?"
"This is only one of them, there is another one!"
Bu Dugen took a long breath and tried to keep calm: "If we withdraw now, Kebineng will definitely cooperate with the Nanyang cavalry to pursue our army with all its strength."
"We are defeated like a mountain! By then we will only be hunted down and have no chance to fight against them. Even if we can return to the camp, what's the use?"
Que Ju naturally understood this truth, but he no longer cared about it so much: "Then let's not go back to the camp and go straight to Mobei for a raid. Kebi can dare to go deep into Mobei, but does the Han army dare?"
"As long as we return to Mobei, we will have a chance to breathe. In three to five years, we will be able to regain our strength. By then, it will not be too late to compete with Nanyang Hanting to avenge today's revenge."
Murong Yan felt that it made sense and nodded quickly: "Yes, the most important thing now is to protect yourself. As for the remaining matters, we can discuss it later."
"As far as I know, the Leopard Cavalry is faster than the Wolf Cavalry. If we leave now, we may still have time, but if we delay for too long, once the Wolf Cavalry arrives, there will be no possibility of escaping."
"That's when!"
Murong Yan's heart trembled, and she said in a deep voice: "Perhaps the whole army will be wiped out!"
Bu Dugen knew that this statement was true. He frowned and thought for a long time before nodding: "Okay, let's retreat immediately and head towards Mobei to try to get a chance to survive."
"Here comes someone."
Bu Dugen shouted.
"exist."
The messenger responded.
Bu Dugen ordered: "Send the order quickly and the whole army will retreat without making any mistakes."
The ordering soldier nodded: "Don't worry, Shanyu, you withdraw first and leave the rest to me."
