Chapter 691: Supporting the South City Gate

After Xu Huang and Liu Pet fought again for a few rounds, Liu Pet took the time to turn his head and look behind him, and found that the nearly 10,000 horses he had led had been lost at this time.

Not to mention blocking Xu Huang's cavalry attack here, he couldn't even hold on for a while longer.

Liu Pet's own strength is not bad, but the strength of the rest of the soldiers and horses under his command is not very good.

When Liu Pet realized the power of these people on the other side, Liu Pet realized that Liu Zheng was terrible, and he also knew that Liu Zheng was not so easy to deal with.

Chen Wang Liu Chong's face became more and more ugly after seeing the heavy casualties of the men and horses under his command, although he had already wanted to retreat at this time, but he lost the cover of his soldiers and horses, coupled with being entangled by Xu Huang, there were more and more enemy troops around him, so that he could not leave the battlefield at this moment.

In the end, he could only be overwhelmed by Xu Huang's successive attacks, although there was still some spare strength, but there were more and more enemy troops around him, and after fighting Xu Huang for more than 30 rounds, he was distracted, and he could only be hit by Xu Huang's spear with an axe.

In order not to be injured, he could only throw away his weapon, and then he was naturally captured by Xu Huang.

Liu Chong's more than 10,000 men and horses stopped Xu Huang and the attack of these people at the west city gate, and it did not last long.

After only one stick of incense, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses lost their lives under the charge of nearly 20,000 cavalry.

After dealing with Liu Pet and these people, Xu Huang went directly from the West City Gate to the South City Gate non-stop to support Liu Zheng and Wen Ping's headquarters army who were trapped in the South City Gate.

This is also the strategy that Liu Zheng discussed with Xu Huang at the beginning.

When Xu Huang led the cavalry under his command to quickly support from the West City Gate to the South City Gate, the battle on the side of the South City Gate had also entered a hot state.

It was precisely because of the support of Gongsun Zhan's Bai Ma Yi from the rear that Zhang Feijun, who was originally at a disadvantage, burst out with new vitality and constantly suppressed Wen Ping.

Seeing that more than half of the 20,000 horses under Wen Ping's command were killed and wounded, and they began to retreat to Huainan City, when Gongsun Zhan and these horses were happy, the sound of cavalry hooves suddenly came from the battlefield behind them, which attracted their attention.

"What's going on? Where did the sound of horses' hooves come from! ”

Gongsun Zan was originally a northerner, and he was very familiar with the sound of war horses, and the sound of the earth shaking made him realize that something was wrong at once, and he quickly reacted to the fact that it could cause such a loud noise, which was definitely caused by a huge number of cavalry attacks.

And he had only a few thousand cavalry under him, and he couldn't cause such a movement at all. There should be no one else in the entire Huainan vicinity who can have such a large number of cavalry.

When he was hesitating, he suddenly glanced behind him, and immediately saw a phalanx of cavalry rushing towards him as quickly as a black line.

At a glance, countless cavalry rushed from afar, swift as wolves, and aggression like fire.

The speed was so fast, and in the blink of an eye, he came to the side of the soldiers and horses behind Gongsun Zhan.

These cavalry under Xu Huang's account were not Gongsun Zhan's men and horses first, but more than 10,000 infantry under the command of Liu Chong, the king of Chen, led by Luo Jun.

In the midst of a charge of tens of thousands of cavalry, these horses led by Luo Jun immediately collapsed, and they had no ability to fight at all.

Seeing so many enemy cavalry suddenly appearing, Gongsun Chan was dumbfounded.

"This ...... How is this possible! ”

He felt incredible at first, and he didn't think that these cavalry were subordinate to Liu Zheng.

However, after thinking about it, it seems that Liu Zheng did have a cavalry of tens of thousands of people, and he had repelled Ding Yuan's attack on the Jingzhou battlefield before.

It's just that when this news reached Gongsun Zhan's ears, it didn't attract their attention, after all, they hadn't personally seen the power of Liu Zheng's cavalry.

Of course, the cavalry trained by Liu Zheng is very powerful, and this news is as early as a few years ago, when Liu Zheng was still in the Yellow Turban Army, there was a cavalry force of several hundred people under his command, and no one could stop it at that time when it swept through the entire Gyeonggi region.

Even Dong Zhuo, the commander of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry at that time, and Cao Cao, who commanded the Hu Cavalry of the Northern Army, were all defeated by Liu Zheng.

It's just that the glory of Liu Zheng's cavalry back then, as Liu Zheng has been relegated to the southern region over the years, there are few war horses to make Liu Zheng's cavalry powerful, and this legend has gradually been forgotten.

Now when his cavalry appeared in front of everyone's eyes again, they remembered that Liu Zheng had always had a powerful cavalry under him.

"Quick! Fast! Hurry up, everyone gather together, don't disperse, once dispersed, you will be crushed by the enemy cavalry! ”

Seeing the strength of the enemy's cavalry, Gongsun Chan naturally knew how to deal with the cavalry charge in such a situation.

If you are blindly afraid of escaping, you will not be able to stop the cavalry at all, whether you flee or deal with it alone, the cavalry's charge is a dead end, and it is impossible for a single man and horse to be able to stabilize their position under the cavalry's charge.

And you can't outrun a four-legged horse. Only by leaning close to each other and using the shields in their hands to form a human wall can they barely resist the charge of the cavalry.

And this is only the least costly way to fight the cavalry, not to completely block the cavalry's charge, but to cause some damage to the enemy's cavalry.

While ordering the infantry around him to gather together to block the cavalry's charge, at the same time, he immediately led more than 2,000 white horses under his command to return to the battlefield and retreat to the rear, intending to deal with the invasion of Xu Huang's cavalry, and only use the cavalry to fight the cavalry.

"Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun!"

"The general is here!"

"Zilong, I order you to lead a thousand white horses to attack the enemy's cavalry phalanx from the flank, and be sure to stop their attack!"

"The last general will take the order and swear to complete the general's order!"

After Zhao Yun received Gongsun Zhan's order, his face was tense, and as soon as he arched his hand, he rode out and led hundreds of white horses around him to retreat to the rear battlefield in an instant, intending to snipe the enemy's charge.

And Gongsun Zhan himself is cooperating with Zhang Fei to continue to charge forward, now this situation is even if it is a defense, relying on these people present is difficult to block the enemy's charge, it is better to continue to fight, maybe he can break through the enemy's front-line soldiers and directly capture Liu Zheng.

If they can really catch Liu Zheng, they still have room to turn over, otherwise they will lose this battle very badly.

Although Xu Huang had 20,000 cavalry, the 20,000 horses could not all go to the south gate to support, and some of them had to be left to guard in the city, and at the same time, some of them were left at the west gate to resist some of Liu Bei's soldiers and horses coming from the north.

Therefore, there are only 10,000 people who can really go to the southern gate to support here.
