Chapter 250: The Flying Cavalry Battle Ascends the Dead First
With one enemy and four enemies, what a dangerous situation, as soon as he entered the city, Guo Jia reprimanded Dian Wei.
"Fengxiao, this is still going to be talked about in the future, Benhou has been crisscrossing the territory for many years, how can the Jizhou army put it in his eyes." Lu Bu waved his hand and said, he didn't understand why his advisers loved to persuade him in this regard, but he also understood the good intentions of the strategists.
"The lord ......" saw Lu Bu walking away quickly like a child's temper, Guo Jia smiled bitterly.
The next day, LΓΌ Bu ordered Dian Wei to lead a thousand flying horsemen out of the city to provoke the Jizhou army.
The news of Dian Wei's battle outside the camp soon reached Yuan Shao's ears.
Yuan Shao's face suddenly became a little ugly, yesterday's battle, the Jizhou army can be said to have lost face, did not take the slightest advantage, I didn't expect that now the state army actually sent a general to challenge, if it should not fight, it will definitely be underestimated by the state army, affecting the morale of the officers and men in the army.
Morale is a very mysterious thing, you can't see it or touch it, but it is particularly important on the battlefield, and the two sides with an equal number of soldiers and horses, the side with high morale can defeat the side with low morale.
"My lord, I heard that Dian Wei is a fierce general in the Bingzhou army, followed Lu Bu to fight everywhere, was very brave, made good use of the double halberd, and a few days ago led a thousand flying horses, and killed five thousand Wuhuan cavalry and fled." Yan Liang stepped forward with a heavy face.
Yuan Shao snorted coldly: "There are fierce generals in the Bingzhou army, but there are no ones in the Jizhou army?" β
Yan Liang's face was slightly red, and Nuo Nuo said yes, in the past, the words in Yuan Shao's mouth must have been "There is a fierce general Yan Liangwen Chou under my command", but after yesterday's battle, Yan Liangwen Chou, the fierce general of the Jizhou Army, suddenly became a joke, Yan Liangwen Chou went together, but Wen Chou died on the battlefield.
"The lord doesn't need to pay attention to the provocation of the state army, although the state army is elite, it is not enough in numbers, and it is difficult to achieve great things." Xu You stepped forward and said: "The lord only needs to order more people to build siege equipment, and the defenders in the city will definitely panic when they see that the army will not retreat." β
As if he saw Yuan Shao's embarrassment, Xu You said in a low voice: "If the lord wants to frustrate the spirit of the state army, it is not impossible, just send the first to the death into battle." β
Yuan Shao was also a little anxious by the current situation, and nodded when he heard this, the Jizhou army needs to be encouraged by the victory of the first dead soldiers, and at the same time, let the Wuhuan people see that the Jizhou army has the strength to deal with the Bingzhou army.
After Ju Yi received the order, he ordered his troops and horses to go outside the camp, and the first dead soldiers were all wearing heavy armor, but the speed of action was not slower than that of ordinary foot soldiers.
Looking at the majestic Bingzhou army outside the camp, Ju Yi's chest burned with a raging fighting spirit, he wanted to use the first to make Lu Bu understand what is the elite and what the cavalry can do, he just wants to use the infantry to make the cavalry cold.
Seeing this very heavy team, Dian Wei's expression was not so relaxed, if it was not wrong, this army was the famous Youzhou battlefield of the first to die, with a mere 800 infantry to break the white horse righteousness, such a thing, in the eyes of anyone is impossible, the cavalry is the king of the battlefield, the same number of infantry in the face of cavalry, it is already good to be able to protect themselves, what to talk about breaking the enemy.
But Bai Ma Yicong was indeed defeated in the hands of the first dead soldiers, although there was a heavy siege of the Jizhou army, if there was no first dead soldiers, the Jizhou army wanted to break through Gongsun Zhan, and it would need to pay a greater price.
Thinking of the advice before the battle, Dian Wei whispered to the generals under his command.
"Do you dare someone to come forward and fight with my old man?" Dian Wei shouted.
Ju Yi snorted coldly: "The battlefield fighting general, it is not the work of a wise man, I have heard that the flying horse of the state is brave, but I want to ask for advice." β
"As you wish!" Dian Wei shouted, rode his horse to kill the first dead soldier, and a thousand cavalry followed closely behind him.
It is getting closer and closer to the first dead soldiers, in Dian Wei's surprised eyes, many soldiers holding shields suddenly came out of the first dead soldiers, such a big shield, directly protected the Jizhou army, looking at it from a distance, the first dead soldiers are like a fortress, and the arrows of the flying horses did not cause casualties to the first dead soldiers.
At this moment, the crossbow arrows from the first dead man came towards the flying horse at a very fast speed, even if the flying horseman's riding skills were exquisite, in the face of the sudden crossbow arrows, it was also a little hurried, the cavalry could dodge the arrows, but it was not easy for the war horses to dodge, under the crossbow arrows, many war horses suffered pain, and the cavalry was overturned to the ground.
Before he could meet the enemy head-on, he lost more than ten cavalry, and Dian Wei was immediately furious, how could the flying cavalry have suffered such a loss.
A halberd swept away the crossbow arrows that came from it, Dian Wei's eyes were cold, and the halberd in his right hand slashed directly at a pioneer soldier, Dian Wei wanted to see what was different about this infantry, which could make Bai Ma Yi break the halberd.
People borrowed the horse's momentum, Dian Wei's blow contained eighty percent of the strength, the two first soldiers behind the shield, suddenly suffered a huge force, felt a little stuffy in the chest, and kept retreating, fortunately there were first soldiers behind him to block, so as not to fall, but such a delay, but it was to expose the flaws in the original tight formation.
Dian Wei shouted, and the halberd in his left hand took advantage of the situation and went straight to the first soldiers, and the two first soldiers could only watch as the sharp halberd tip cut through their bodies, falling to the ground and convulsing.
At this moment, two spears stabbed at Dian Wei, and the soldiers with the guns were obviously very experienced, and the shot was to completely seal Dian Wei's left and right.
Dian Wei snorted coldly, the halberd in his right hand waved hard, the soldiers behind the shield were a little unable to hold it, there was a gap in the shield again, Dian Wei's left halberd bullied up, the pikeman fell to the ground weakly, and the heavy armor on their bodies could not block Dian Wei's double halberd.
Ju Yi was slightly shocked in his heart, he knew the power of the first dead soldier, even if Yan Liangwen Chou in the Jizhou army faced the first dead soldier alone, he would not have an advantage.
The first dead soldiers are not only defensive forces, the most important thing is the endless arrows and spears, in the face of absolute defense, they are invincible, as long as the shield soldiers stick to the formation, even if the other party is cavalry, waiting for them can only be death, but after such a while, there are actually three first dead soldiers died in the hands of Dian Wei, although the first dead soldiers quickly completed the formation, there are still arrows from the flying horse.
After a moment of fighting, Dian Wei noticed the extraordinaryness of this team, although the flying cavalry is elite, but there is no guarantee that everyone has such great strength as him, so that in the face of the protection of the shield soldiers, the attack of the flying cavalry is a little insufficient, and the first dead soldier in the shield, from time to time shoots arrows, unexpected spears, these are fatal to the flying cavalry.
