Guan Yu's envoy Huang Ye arrived at Lu County and informed the local guard of Guan Yu's order. The guard of Lu County was named Zhao Cheng. He was a little-known figure who was originally a military prince under Guan Yu's tent. He later made many military exploits.
Guan Yu thought highly of him and ordered him to take charge of Lu County.
Zhao Cheng received the news and did not dare to neglect. He followed Guan Yu for a long time and experienced many battles. He immediately summoned the generals for discussion and said: "Lü Bu's army will arrive in a day or two. The general ordered me to return to Xiangcheng as soon as possible. I may not be able to carry enough food and supplies."
Take them away. You can all go back to your camps and order your sergeants to prepare to evacuate. I will bring a few personal soldiers and burn all the baggage that cannot be taken away. I cannot leave it to the thieves."
Everyone agreed in a loud voice and went back to prepare. Zhao Cheng led his men to burn the food, grass and baggage, and then led two thousand soldiers north along the river towards Xiangcheng.
Along the way, Zhao Chengsheng feared that there would be pursuers, so he summoned several military princes. Sima said: "How about we lead an army to ambush here to prevent Lu Bu's army from pursuing them?"
None of the military commanders wanted to stay behind. Someone said: "General, Lu Bu's army is still far away, so there is no need to worry so much. We will reach the East River Crossing in another twenty miles. As long as the troops and horses reach the other side and then sink the ferry, there will be no worries."
"
Zhao Cheng had no choice but to give up and urge his troops to move quickly.
After walking twenty miles, there was indeed a ferry ahead. The ferry was sparsely populated. Zhao Cheng ordered people to find several ferries and send the soldiers back and forth to the other side. In about half an hour, seven or eight hundred people were sent away.
At this time, Zhao Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, a sergeant pointed towards the south and said, "Look, what is that?"
Everyone looked towards the south. Zhao Cheng took a closer look and saw cold sweat running down his back. On the horizon as far as he could see, a black line was moving towards this side. The black line became thicker and thicker.
The speed of crawling forward is also getting faster and faster.
It was a cavalry force, Zhao Cheng made his judgment based on experience.
But what to do?
Zhao Cheng felt cold sweat dripping from his palms. He had two choices. One was to board the ship as soon as possible and take away as many people as he could. Although he understood that if the cavalry came too fast, there would be at least a thousand people.
The remaining people stayed on the left bank, and what awaited them was a crazy massacre.
Another option is to immediately form a formation and defend on the spot. The result is probably not much better. Using infantry to fight cavalry in the wilderness is almost a dead end.
During the suffocating wait, Zhao Cheng felt that time and space had lengthened into eternity at this moment. There was faint thunder coming from the horizon, and the earth under his feet was trembling gently.
Time was getting increasingly urgent. Zhao Cheng tightened his grip on the handle of the knife at his waist, gritted his teeth suddenly, pulled out the long knife with a ferocious expression, and shouted loudly: "Form up, everyone stop boarding!"
The effect of this order was not very good. Many soldiers sensed the danger and rushed towards the ferry crazily. The ferry could not bear so many people. All the space was already occupied. Many people were holding on to the cables on the shore.
The ferry refused to leave the shore.
The soldiers on the boat danced with swords and guns desperately to cut the cables, and the ferries swayed away from the river bank. However, there were too many people, and the hull gradually tilted. In addition, the soldiers on the boat pushed and pushed, and with a pop, countless soldiers
He fell into the river. At this time, the wind was biting and the river water was icy cold. In addition, the northerners were not good at water. Suddenly, it was like a frying pan exploded in the river. Many soldiers who fell into the water were splashing in the water, and they were filled with mourning.
Only then did the soldiers on the shore realize that there was no way to escape, so they hurriedly formed a formation under the command of Zhao Cheng.
Gao Jin held his Emei gun and galloped on his horse. Three hundred soldiers from Bingzhou were following closely behind him. The cavalry formation was like a ghost wave from hell, carrying the power of crushing everything.
Shore, rolling towards Liu Bei's army ahead.
The earth beneath our feet receded like a tide, and the only sound between heaven and earth was the roar of strong horses striking the earth at the same time.
The biting cold wind blew past his face, but Gao Jin didn't feel the slightest chill at this time. The fierce pride burned in Gao Jin's chest and burned his eyes.
"kill!"
Gao Jin roared and kept urging his war horses to sprint towards Liu Bei's military formation.
"kill!"
The three hundred Bingzhou cavalry responded with a roar, the sound was like thunder, and the horse shafts began to press down, pointing downwards and forward.
Liu Beijun's military formation began to commotion. The soldiers standing in the front row began to look around in horror. The timid ones began to retreat. Zhao Cheng ran back and forth in front of the formation, shouting loudly, trying to control the decline, but his efforts were in vain.
, more people began to retreat, and fewer and fewer soldiers were able to stay in their positions.
Some soldiers even threw themselves into the river desperately and were instantly swallowed by the cold water.
Zhao Cheng sighed in despair. On the open plain, with the river beside him, when the infantry encountered cavalry, they could only have a chance of survival by forming a dense formation and fighting to the death. Turning around and running away would only lead to self-destruction.
Legs can never be faster than four legs. But at this time, who can have the courage to face these powerful cavalry.
Tat-tat-tat... The neat sound of horse hoofs was getting louder and louder like a reminder. Zhao Cheng could almost see the straight tips of the horses of the first row of cavalry charging, emitting a deep cold light, in the sunshine
Shining brightly underneath.
The Bingzhou cavalry plunged into the remnants of Liu Bei's army's retreat like tigers entering a flock of sheep. The sharp spears penetrated Liu Bei's body like straw. Countless soldiers in the front row were knocked away, and countless people were trampled back and forth by horse hooves.
, the slanting lower thorns of the horse branches are constantly harvesting the weak lives.
The Bingzhou cavalry is one of the few great cavalry in the world. These people have been fighting against the foreigners outside the pass for many years. After entering the pass, they fought with the eighteen princes. They followed Lu Bu to conquer the east and west, and fought thousands of miles. Although the veterans gradually withered.
, the quality of the new recruits was not ideal, but they were still considered elite warriors on horseback.
The predecessor of the Military Police Battalion was the Bingzhou Cavalry, and now, as long as they are given enough war horses, they can also exert an irresistible power.
Gao Jin rode a horse and rushed into Liu Bei's army. He quickly opened a hole and knocked away three or four soldiers in a row. The Emei gun in his hand circled back and forth and stabbed, constantly widening the wound.
Passing by, he quickly plowed bloody holes in front of him.
Liu Bei's army collapsed quickly, and the moment the first spear formation broke through, it also meant the beginning of the massacre.
Zhao Cheng sadly watched many of his old brothers become cold corpses under the horses' hooves. He became furious and stabbed a cavalryman who was approaching sideways with his spear in the belly. The war horse let out a mournful cry and knelt down with its front hooves jumping.
On the ground, the cavalry on horseback was also violently thrown out. Zhao Cheng rushed over with his spear and stabbed the cavalry into the heart with his spear.
Everything is over. General Guan's trust and the lives of thousands of soldiers have become more frivolous than paper at this moment. Now, he only thinks about revenge, killing one to satisfy his hatred and killing two to make up for his losses.
With his hair disheveled, he looked for enemies everywhere. In his blood-red eyes, he saw countless soldiers being knocked down by cavalry, trampled by horse hooves, and impaled by horse barrels. There was no way to avoid them and no way to escape.
At this time, he discovered Gao Jin. The warrior on horseback was like a god of death. The strange spear in his hand was like a snake, stabbing or sweeping, killing countless lives like a strong wind sweeping through fallen leaves. Zhao Cheng held on tight
He grabbed his spear, shouted loudly, and rushed over.
Gao Jin looked at Zhao Cheng in surprise, reined in his horse and rushed over. The Emei spear shot out of the air, and Zhao Cheng tried his best to block it with his spear. The two long soldiers collided with each other without any tricks, and there was a fierce clash of gold and iron.
During the attack, Zhao Cheng opened his mouth and spurted out a stream of blood arrows. His bulky body floated up like a kite, rolled and fell back in the air. Zhao Cheng felt that his entire chest had been squeezed into a thin layer, and then
It's hard to breathe.
The mantis blocks the car and the earthworm defends the tree. This may be Zhao Cheng's current reflection.
Bang... Zhao Cheng fell to the ground. Before he could catch his breath, a war horse roared past, and the horse's hoof hit his shoulder bone hard. He could even clearly hear the sound of broken bones.
Gurgling sound.
Everything was over... Zhao Cheng took one last look at the blood-red sky and could no longer breathe.
