Chapter [131] The Cavalry Arrives!
The phalanx of 15,000 people is backed by the Yellow River, and the enemy cannot attack from the back.
The 60,000 yuan army was divided into three parts, attacking the front and both sides of the phalanx respectively.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou led an army of 20,000 to attack the front, and the other four generals were also in pairs, each leading 20,000 troops to attack one side.
"Brother, look." Wen Chou pointed his gun at the front, "That person should be Lu Bu.
Yan Liang looked in the direction Wen Chou was pointing at, and at a glance he saw the unusually tall Chituma and the equally tall Lu Bu on the horse's back.
"Aside from other things, just judging by Lu Bu's size, he is absolutely unrivaled." Yan Liang was very cautious.
"What about big brother? How about we brothers join forces?" Wen Chou asked immediately.
Lu Bu's prestige is completely unique in the world.
After all, at Hulao Pass, the eighteen princes had seen it with their own eyes, and they fully recognized Lu Bu's strength.
Even Yan Liang and Wen Chou were repeatedly told by Yuan Shao not to challenge Lu Bu head-on, and even ordered the six generals to surround and beat Lu Bu before they could fight.
"Let's forget "two five three", don't ruin the good things of the lord." Yan Liang shook his head and said: "Behead the enemy first, and let's find a chance to fight against Chuanbu after the battle is almost over." 1
Yuan Shao's exhortation worked, Yan Liang thought over and over again, but didn't dare to directly go up to fight with Lu.
Fortunately, Yan Liang chose to follow Yuan Shao's advice, otherwise he would have rushed over, and he would have been a corpse at this time.
The 60,000 Yuan army rushed forward, and the 15,000 Lu Bu army remained unmoved.
"Kill!" Lu Bu, who was sitting on horseback, was the first to sweep out with a halberd.
A row of Yuan Jun who had just rushed to the front was killed by Lu Bu with a single halberd.
Lu Bu's subordinates were as immovable as a mountain. Although they faced several times the enemy army, they had confidence in their hearts, did not panic at all, and responded properly.
The sword, shield and hand resisted on the periphery, constantly blocking the attack and killing Yuan Jun.
On the back of Dao Dunshou, long spears stretched out one after another, stabbing out from the left and right sides of Dao Dunshou's head, stabbing Yuan Jun who was rushing from the opposite side to death.
For a while, the bank of the Yellow River turned into a flesh and blood mill, and people kept falling to the ground to die, and people kept rushing up again to fill the previous vacancy.
Lu Bu was nailed to the front of the phalanx like a nail that fixed the sea, but all the soldiers who passed by Lu Bu's side lay at the feet of the red rabbit without exception.
As long as it is within the killing range of Fang Tian's painting halberd, no one will be spared.
The move used by Lu Bu is also the sweeping move among the basic moves, which has the largest damage range to the group. With a single sweep, relying on the sharpness of Fang Tian's painting halberd, he can kill a large group of people directly.
"No wonder the lord won't let us fight Lu Bu, this is simply a monster." Yan Liang murmured.
Although he hadn't fought against Lu Bu yet, after seeing Lu Bu make a move, Yan Liang immediately gave in, knowing that he was far from Lu Bu's opponent.
"How long has it been? Have you killed almost a hundred people?" Wen Chou's mouth twitched, and the corpses around him were piled up into a hill. "
Lu Bu is like a rock on the sea, no matter how rough the waves are, it still remains motionless.
Seeing that the corpse was about to bury Chitu, and Yuan Jun's soldiers were not stupid, they never dared to pass by Lu Bu anymore, they always walked around Lu Bu.
"drive."
Lu Bu gave a soft drink, and Chitu understood, pointed his head at the pile of corpses, and rushed out.
Seeing that Yuan Jun's soldiers were walking around him, Lu Bu simply began to charge and kill among the enemy troops.
Before that, Lu Bu resisted on the front, and the pressure was much less, while the pressure on the soldiers on the two wings was great.
Seeing this, Lu Bu ordered Chitu to charge with all his strength, one man and one horse began to kill with all their strength.
From the front side and then back to the front, kill the right side again.
Wherever Lu goes, morale is boosted.
Similarly, Yuan Jun, who is hostile, will flee whenever he sees that Lu is not there, even Du Zhanzhi is no exception.
The army, which was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, was forced to be mobilized by Lu Bu in this way. Under the siege of 60,000 Yuan troops, it was still able to maintain its formation.
However, Yuan Jun had a lot of people after all, and Lu Bu felt that he was a bit of a firefighter, and needed to run around to fight the fire. If things went on like this, the phalanx under his command would be torn apart by Yuan Jun sooner or later.
On a hill in the distance, Yuan Shao stood with his hands behind his back, watching the battle in the field.
"Lu Bu is indeed powerful. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the enemy of ten thousand people." Yuan Shao said with a smile: "But Lu Bu is no longer powerful, so that's all."
"There are only 15,000 men under Lu Bu's command. Even if Lu Bu is worth 10,000 each, there are only 25,000 men." Xu You asked with a smile: "And our army has 60,000 men. War my house will win!"
"Hahaha!" Yuan Shao couldn't help laughing triumphantly when he heard the words, "If you win Lu Bu in this battle, the Northwest and the Son of Heaven will be mine."
"Congratulations, my lord, after this battle, the entire north will be occupied by my lord." Xu You began to make plans again, "At that time, my lord only needs to cross the Yellow River and enter the Central Plains with the momentum of victory."
It's done!"
Yuan Shao squinted his eyes, as if he was imagining how he would rule the world, and the expression on his face was very enjoyable.
"Boom!!!"
The violent sound of horseshoes suddenly appeared, from far to near.
Yuan Shao suddenly turned his head and saw a cavalry soldier in sight.
"Cavalry?!" Yuan Shao was horrified, and said, "Where did the cavalry come from?"
No wonder Yuan Shao was so horrified, it was because Zhang Liao's appearance was so sudden.
Who would have thought that Lu Bu, who needed to cross the river from the south, would let a cavalry go all the way south from the grassland in the north into the hinterland of Bingzhou.
Yuan Shao didn't guard against the north at all, and his mind was on the bank of the Yellow River. How could he have thought that cavalry would come out from the north again.
"My lord, calm down, the opponent's cavalry is not many." Xu You immediately comforted him.
Yuan Shao also calmed down a little after hearing the words, not as panicked as before.
The main reason is that Yuan Shao did not bring cavalry this time, and the war horses he bought from Lu Bu did allow Yuan Shao to equip 20,000 cavalry...
However, in the battle with Baima Yicong, Yuan Shao lost a large number of cavalry, and the remaining part is still in Youzhou to prevent Gongsun Zan from breaking out and escaping. Therefore, the cavalry stayed in Youzhou and did not bring it this time.
"It's almost five thousand, although it's an accident, but it shouldn't matter." Yuan Shao observed carefully.
Standing on the hill, Yuan Shao can naturally see all the hills and everything in the arena at a glance.
The bystanders are clear, but the authorities are confused!
Yuan Jun, who was on the battlefield, definitely couldn't see how many cavalry there were at a glance due to his sight.
Yuan Jun, who was fighting, suddenly noticed an unknown number of cavalry behind him, and his mood can be imagined.
These Yuan Jun didn't know how many cavalry they had, and their first reaction when they saw the cavalry was that it was terrible! Use it!
Then the heart was panicked, the six gods had no master, and the morale plummeted.
On the other hand, the soldiers under Lu Bu's command, after waiting for so long, finally expected their own reinforcements to arrive, which naturally boosted their morale.
Since Lu Bu's army was surrounded by Yuan's family, Lu Bu's army could not see the number of cavalry, but could only hear the thunderous sound of horseshoes, thinking that there must be countless cavalry.
"Reinforcements are coming!"
"Hahaha! Hack these bastards to death!"
"How dare a dog ambush grandpa? Grandpa will give you an anti-siege!"
"The mantis catches the cicada and the oriole follows!"
The morale of the Lu Bu army was instantly boosted, clamoring to start a counterattack.
Morale is such a thing that either the west wind overwhelms the east wind, or the east wind overwhelms the west wind.
Lu Bujun was so arrogant and domineering, and Yuan Jun was suppressed unconsciously when he saw this, and he began to complain in his heart.
Zhang Liao and Zhang Yang in the rear led the army, followed by five thousand cavalry.
"Front Arrow Array! Hit me hard!" Zhang Liao roared at the top of his throat.
While the cavalry was moving at a high speed of 5.4, they quickly changed their formation, and soon formed an arrow, which slammed into Yuan Jun's back!
If the infantry didn't line up in advance, they couldn't resist the charge of the cavalry at all. What's more, these Yuan troops had their backs to the cavalry, and they were almost killed by the charge of the cavalry.
If it weren't for the fact that Yuan Jun had enough numbers, the formation was thick enough, and the number of cavalry was just too small, maybe this wave would end the battle.
But despite this, as Zhang Liao entered the field with cavalry, the original situation in the field has begun to reverse.
Yuan Jun, who originally had the upper hand, was flanked by Lu Bu and Zhang Liao at the moment. Under the enemy's front and back, he had a faint tendency to collapse.
At this critical moment, the role of the chief general of the first army is revealed.
"Don't panic! The opponent's cavalry is not many!" Yan Liang roared, "Soldiers, follow me!"
Yan Liang and Wen Chou, with their own troops, went straight up and stopped the cavalry led by Zhang Liao.
Zhang Liao and Zhang Yang also confronted Yan Liangwen Chou, and the two immediately fought together. .
