Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 740: Cavalry Defeat

The galloping horses also made the Liaodong cavalry wake up a little from the hatred they had just felt. The enemy was luring them into encirclement. Many of the cavalry looked a little flustered in fear.

The deputy general stared at the cavalry appearing on the left and right sides and shouted: "Divide into two groups and kill the enemy." Then he ordered the cavalry to lead the cavalry everywhere to ask for help from the army.

As long as Gao Cheng leads the army to arrive, this Youzhou cavalry will be destroyed. Although the opponent's cavalry number exceeds his own, the deputy general has the confidence to deal with the Lieyang Archers as long as these cavalry dare to engage in a head-on battle with his own cavalry.

After the rain of arrows, the Lieyang Archers began to engage in close combat with the Liaodong Cavalry. The Liaodong Cavalry, who were originally extremely confident in their own skills, found that their fighting ability was not satisfactory after facing the Lieyang Archers. It was not that they were not strong enough, but that

The attacking Lieyang Archers were too powerful, and the scimitars in their hands were swung too fast.

A Liaodong cavalryman watched blankly as the long sword in his hand split into two pieces after the collision. On such a battlefield, if the sword in his hand was destroyed, one can imagine the fate.

In terms of defense, the Lieyang Archers may be inferior to the Liaodong Cavalry, but in terms of combat capabilities, the two are obviously not on the same level. The leather armor on their bodies cannot provide effective protection, but the Lieyang Archers have a numerical advantage.

And supported by superb equestrian skills.

With the loss of one Liaodong cavalryman, there were fewer and fewer Liaodong cavalrymen on the field.

The deputy general's expression was full of shock. He originally thought that this pursuit was a sure thing. Even if the opponent showed up with a large number of cavalry, he was not afraid. As long as he entangled the opponent's cavalry, the ensuing army would teach these cavalry a profound lesson.

However, things went against his expectations. The Lieyang Bow Cavalry was stronger than he expected.

At this time, the deputy general remembered Gao Cheng's instructions. Looking around, he saw that most of the battlefield was filled with Sun Archers, and his own cavalry was struggling to support them. I was afraid that if they could not support the arrival of the army, their own cavalry would be defeated.

"Retreat." Faced with such a situation, the deputy general gritted his teeth and said. This was the first time he felt so depressed in many years of fighting. The opponent was obviously being chased and beaten, but instead they set up an ambush, and his own scouts were completely unaware of it.

arrive.

The deputy general wanted to lead the cavalry to retreat, but the Sun Archers would not let him go so easily.

After the deputy general led the cavalry to break out of the siege, behind him were closely followed by thousands of Lieyang bow cavalry. These cavalry relied on the speed of their horses to keep setting up their bows and shooting arrows. Their advantage in combat speed lies here

It’s reflected vividly in one moment.

"General, a large number of enemy cavalry suddenly appeared in front."

After Gao Cheng received the news of the deputy general's entourage asking for help, his expression kept changing. He never expected that the enemy would dare to be so unscrupulous on the battlefield.

"Can we find out how many cavalry the opponent has?" Gao Cheng asked.

"The dust and smoke are billowing. I can't see exactly how many people there are. There are about two thousand people," the follower said.

Gao Cheng nodded. If the opponent only had 2,000 men, the battle would still be fought. As long as one's own cavalry entangled the enemy's cavalry, the Liaodong Army would have a chance.

"Command the army to advance quickly!" Gao Cheng shouted.

This cavalry is of vital significance to the reinforcements. Once the cavalry is too damaged, the road from here to the city will be even more difficult to walk. Without scouts on the battlefield, it is like a blind man walking. It is difficult to walk.

Know what dangers lie ahead.

Along the way, the lieutenant's heart was always high. The Lieyang Archers behind them were too terrifying. They lost hundreds of cavalry just by relying on arrows. If it weren't for their own army in front, this cavalry would have lost 100 people.

The most likely outcome is a defeat. If an army loses more than 30%, it may cause the morale of the army to fluctuate, not to mention that the Liaodong cavalry suffered a loss of nearly 50%.

The offensive and defensive sides had changed, and the Liaodong cavalry no longer had the same high spirits as when they came back. At this time, they only regretted that the horses did not have more legs to avoid being shot by the cavalry behind them.

"Our army is about to arrive!" the deputy general shouted, which cheered up many Liaodong cavalrymen.

Gao Cheng led the army at a gallop, still maintaining a tight formation, in order not to create too many opportunities for the enemy.

The front was obviously our own cavalry. Gao Cheng's face darkened. Thousands of Liaodong cavalry were defeated so quickly, far beyond Gao Cheng's expectation.

"Kill!" Gao Cheng shouted.

The archers in the camp received the order and loaded their bows with arrows.

A stone's throw away from the Liaodong army, Pondel ordered the cavalry to stop, as if in provocation, and just stared at the waiting Liaodong army quietly.

After a while, Pound saw no opportunity to take advantage and led the cavalry to gallop away. There were a lot of trophies along the way. It must be said that the equipment of the Liaodong Army was still very good, and cleaning the battlefield was also a pleasant thing.

"Tell me the details of the war." Gao Cheng glared at the deputy general and said. Before chasing the Lieyang Archers, Gao Cheng repeatedly told him that as soon as he found that the situation was not good, he would lead the cavalry to retreat. On the battlefield, once the cavalry was determined to escape,

, the cavalry in the rear is also difficult to catch up with, but the opponent of the Liaodong Army this time is the Lieyang Archers.

The deputy general was also in a very low mood. He had lost so many cavalry in his hands. After returning to Liaodong, he would definitely be punished. The cavalry in Liaodong was elite, but their number was not large. They lost nearly 500 people at one time.

, which was tantamount to a major defeat for the Liaodong Army.

"The general was ordered to pursue the enemy. Unexpectedly, the enemy set up an ambush on the way. Our soldiers were in panic and found it difficult to resist..." The deputy general described the battle in detail.

"Incompetent. Thousands of Liaodong's elite cavalry could not hold down the enemy's cavalry for an hour." Gao Cheng, who had always been a good old man in the army, cursed.

The lieutenant general's face was red and he was submissive. This battle was lost in his hands, and Gao Cheng also had an unshirkable responsibility.

"Command the army to set up camp on the high ground ahead. The generals patrolling at night must be more vigilant, otherwise military law will be violated." Gao Cheng ordered when he saw that it was getting late.

The pursuit of the Lieyang Archers made the army move much faster, but Gao Cheng always had a bad premonition. He felt that the enemy cavalry would not give up easily. They might be greeted by a fierce battle. From the Lieyang Archers

The powerful combat power displayed by the cavalry also made Gao Cheng extremely frightened. There was no doubt that the Liaodong cavalry was elite, but in the face of the blazing sun archers, they were unable to fight back. It was said that they were retreating, but in fact it was undoubtedly a rout.

In order to prevent the sneak attacks of the Sun Archers, Gao Cheng spent a lot of energy and placed dense obstacles around the camp. When the soldiers were resting, their armor was not allowed to leave their bodies, and their weapons must be at hand. As a battlefield veteran, Gao Cheng

I understand how much turmoil it will cause to the army once the opponent's cavalry makes a surprise attack in the middle of the night.
