The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Hu Zhen, Lü Bu, and Xu Rong had all completed their formation, and at the end of Chen Shi began to attack Huang Gai and Sun Ben's camp.

In the morning, the sky was getting warmer, and the wind was still cool. It was a suitable temperature for both the armored soldiers and the war horses in armor. It was a sunny day with a good view.

Lu Bu hadn't mounted his horse yet. He stood beside the horse he loved, caressing the belly of the horse, looking left and right, feeling the cool breeze, and said comfortably and comfortably, "Today is really a good day for battle!"

His mount seemed to understand him, raised its front hooves, raised its head, and hissed at the sky.

Lu Bu hurriedly stroked it a few times, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, don't worry, you and I will be able to fight soon, and we will fight happily!"

This mount is called "Red Rabbit". It has the bloodline of a good horse in the Western Regions. It is tall and majestic. Knowing human nature, Lü Bu's battles on the battlefield depend a lot on the power of this horse. There was a saying in Bingzhou a long time ago that "there is Lu Bu in people, and there are red rabbits in horses." Rabbit Zhiliang, along with Lv Bu's arrival in the Central Plains, joined Dong Zhuo's army. This sentence originally circulated in Bingzhou is now known to the people of the Central Plains, and gradually spread.

Hu Zhen was the main general in the two formations of Hu Zhen and Lu Xu. At first, the sound of the drums rang out from his position, and soon after that, Lu Bu also ordered the sound of the attacking drums.

Gao Shun, who had long been lined up in front, moved when he heard the sound.

He took the lead, raised his spear and pointed at the selected attacking position, without saying a word of nonsense, he directly galloped towards it with the trilogy.

Although the Hu Zhen formation opposite him beat the drums earlier than his side, when he started, the first attacking troops in the opposite formation had not been fully prepared and had not yet come out.

In the previous battle between Lu Bu and Sun Jian, Gao Shun was the first to attack Sun Jian's formation. Huang Gai and Sun Ben saw the bravery of Gao Shun's army with their own eyes. Therefore, in today's battle, on Gao Shun's side, Huang Gai's , Sun Ben arranged the most sharp soldiers in the battalion to guard.

Before Gao Shun could reach the camp, Huang and Sun Yingzhong shot arrows first. Hundreds of Zhang Shiqi fired their crossbows and shot arrows. Although the arrows did not fall like rain, they had a great deterrent effect, and their lethality was not small, especially when they were all powerful crossbows. , once shot, I am afraid that he will fall from the horse immediately. But none of Gao Shun's cavalry retreated, not even dodged. All the cavalry saw not arrows, but Gao Shun's back. Wherever Gao Shun rushed, they would rush towards, Gao Shun. If they don't stop, they won't stop, even if the front is Daoshan.

It is precisely because of his example and strict military discipline that Gao Shun can bring out such a tiger and wolf warrior who is willing to die in battle.

Although there were a lot of crossbow bolts, hundreds of which were fired in bursts, Gao Shun's troops were all well-trained and well-trained cavalrymen. But three arrows." Huang and Sun Ying only shot two arrows, and Gao Shun's troops were already in front of him.

After all, Huang Gai and Sun Ben built the camp in a hurry. Lü Bu had already arrived when they built the camp, so they didn't have enough time to renovate the camp. They only dug a narrow trench outside the camp, which was better than nothing. A fence was erected in the ditch, and after a busy night last night, a mound was piled up behind the fence. That is to say, although Huang and Sun Ying were well-defended, the camp was really simple.

However, despite its simplicity, the narrow ditch was enough to temporarily block Gao Shun's troops, preventing them from approaching.

Gao Shun's cavalry rushed outside the camp. Gao Shun turned his horse's head first and ran along the ravine. He galloped sideways and threw the spear in his hand. Gao Shun was already strong, and with the speed of his mounts, the spears' stabbing in the air also accelerated, so the spears easily passed over the ravines, fences, and mounds, and fell into the yellow cover, Sun Ben's camp.

The hundreds of cavalrymen who followed Gao Shun also raised their short spears one after another and threw them into Huang and Sun's camp.

The lethality of these hundreds of short spears is greater than the lethality of Shicai's hundreds of crossbow bolts.

Crossbow bolts are long-distance destructive weapons, and the speed of Gao Shun's cavalry is very fast, so the crossbow bolts are not easy to hit the target. The soldiers in the Huang and Sun camps that were thrown in the vicinity were all foot soldiers. They could not dodge in time in a hurry, and the short spears were fast and sharp, and it was impossible for the shield to block them all. It was a terrible smell. Call it Lianlian.

Gao Shun didn't have to look back, he knew that the result of this short spear throw was not small.

He led the cavalry forward for a while, and he was the first to drive the horse, turned back, and ran back along the way he had just come. At the same time, he took another short spear from the side of the horse.

The cavalry attacked the infantry battalion, and when they got close, they first threw short weapons such as short spears. This was almost a standard method of warfare, so everyone in Gao Shun's unit brought several short spears before they set off.

Huang and Sun Ying suffered dozens of casualties in the attack of Shicai. How many times will this be done by Gao Shun's troops? Moreover, not only the short spear, but also the cavalry soldiers of Gao Shun's department also carried crossbows. After the short spears were finished, and the crossbows were shot again, no matter how much troops there were, they would not be able to withstand such repeated blows.

Therefore, seeing that the situation was not good, the officers who commanded the battalion on the front line, even if they ordered their soldiers to retreat, wanted to temporarily avoid the continuous attack of Gao Shun's army, and secondly, they could adjust the range of the bow and crossbow, so that they could attack Gao Shun's army. fight back.

At this moment, behind Gao Shun's army, Lü Bu's front line, with hundreds of infantrymen holding shields, pushing pontoon bridges, or carrying soil bags, were about to run outside the camps of Huang Gai and Sun Ben. .

…

In Sun Jian's camp in the distance, Xun Zhen and Sun Jian saw this scene.

Xun Zhen said: "Lü Bu wanted to use Gao Shun as the front, to hold down Huang Gai and Sun Ben, then fill in the soil with the infantry, fill in the trenches, and then use Gao Shun as the sharp and the infantry as the auxiliary to break through Huang Gai. , Sun Zhiying."

Xun Zhen had also used this kind of tactics in previous battles.

Sun Jian watched the battle carefully, but did not speak.

Seeing Huang Gai and Sun Ben's camp from afar, the soldiers who resisted Gao Shun's attack seemed to have a brief panic after seeing Dong Bing's infantry approaching and trying to fill the ditch. Under the command of the officer, he quickly regained his composure, and dispatched according to the command of the officer. The shield formed a formation, and the short spear attacked in response to Gao Shun. At the same time, the bow and crossbow moved backward. Gao Shun was the target, but concentrated on attacking the approaching part of the infantry of Lu Bu.

This is one of the most appropriate responses in the present moment, in this situation.
