Chapter 739: The Pursuit
Mobile reading
Pound was also a little helpless in the face of such a situation, the enemy's defense was very tight, even if the Sun Archers were good at riding and shooting, in such a situation, it was difficult to do much.
"Kill!" Pang De let out a loud shout, and the Burning Sun Bow rode forward, showing their superior cavalry in front of the five thousand Liaodong Army.
Gao Cheng saw this kind of scene, his heart was shocked, judging from the strength shown by these cavalry, it must be extremely elite, especially the opponent's archery, which can constantly cause damage to his own side at a distance of 100 steps, once such a cavalry exceeds a thousand people, the impact is immeasurable, no wonder there are tens of thousands of defenders in Changli City, and they are so passive.
"Defend! Archers come forward! Gao Cheng shouted.
The foot soldier holding the shield slowly stepped forward, and the archers began to counterattack, and the two sides went back and forth, so lively.
After five rounds of arrows, Pound led the cavalry into the dust.
"General, our army has lost twenty-three people." The adjutant general said, this result also shocked him, the opponent's cavalry retreated, this is still under the protection of the shield soldiers, if these cavalry choose to sneak attack, there will definitely be more soldiers killed in the battle.
"If cavalry is sent and the enemy ambushes such cavalry on the way, our cavalry will be in danger." Gao Cheng said with a pale face, although the Youzhou army was imagined to be very strong, it was still beyond his expectations when the Lieyang Bow Cavalry came, if all the cavalry in Youzhou were like this, it would be even more difficult for them to reinforce Changli.
The two lieutenants nodded incessantly, obviously the strength displayed by the Lieyang Archers shocked them.
Gao Cheng saw the performance of the two lieutenant generals, and nodded secretly, the Liaodong Army has been fighting for many years, and the victory has made many generals lost in it, compared to the soldiers and horses of the princes, although Fuyu and Goguryeo are very strong, the strength is limited, and the princes such as Lu Bu are different, and the rule is big, naturally there is no shortage of elite soldiers, whether it is the number of soldiers or the degree of elite, it is very terrifying, but in the elite degree of the soldiers, the Liaodong Army asks itself not to lose to the princes, and has been fighting for many years, and there is no shortage of elite soldiers and fierce generals in the Liaodong Army.
When he was in Liaodong, Gao Cheng also studied Lu Bu, and Lu Bu was able to stand out from Bingzhou and become a pivotal figure among the princes of the world.
Judging from the situation of the Liaodong Army against the Youzhou Army, the Liaodong Army is at a disadvantage, and the reason for this disadvantage is because of Lu Bu, when the tripartite coalition army attacked Youbeiping before, it had the upper hand, but after the arrival of the army led by Lu Bu, the situation on both sides changed.
With Lu Bu's Youzhou army, it is the most terrifying, and the most important thing is that Lu Bu is a pioneer that ordinary monarchs do not have.
Gao Cheng can endure the repeated provocations of a hundred cavalry, but the generals under his command are unbearable, the generals in the army have a bloody nature, they do not think that they are weaker than others, even if the opponent is an elite cavalry.
The Liaodong Army has a brilliant record in Liaodong, and it has made the surrounding areas surrender, and he has suffered such grievances.
"General, if you can't kill the enemy general, you are willing to accept military justice." The adjutant general said with red eyes.
More than 100 cavalrymen dared to act so recklessly in front of the 5,000 Liaodong Army, which not only damaged the face of the Liaodong Army, but also the morale of the Liaodong Army.
Gao Cheng pondered for a long time and slowly nodded in agreement, he knew that if this continued, just a hundred enemy cavalry would be enough to make the army panic.
"Enemy cavalry is especially good at horse shooting, just drive them away, don't go deep." Elevation admonished.
"Whoa." The adjutant general was overjoyed when he heard this, as long as Elevation agreed, the next thing would be simple.
If a thousand cavalry can not beat the opponent's hundred cavalry, this battle does not need to be carried out, even if the cavalry's combat effectiveness is strong, there is a certain limit, the elevation is also carefully observed these cavalry, in speed and archery skills, once the cavalry for their own approach, with the leather armor on those cavalry, it is difficult to make achievements.
In the impatient look of the lieutenant general, Gao Cheng admonished again.
The appearance of the enemy cavalry in Elevation seems not to be accidental, this may be a conspiracy of the Youzhou army, and it is not a way to blindly not fight, and the mourning soldiers can win at times, but more often they will collapse.
The deputy general led a thousand Liaodong cavalry and rode towards the scorching sun.
Pang De was overjoyed when he saw this, as long as the cavalry of the Liaodong Army dared to fight, he could let them have no return, but behind them there were nearly two thousand Lieyang archers, in such a wide battlefield, giving the cavalry great convenience, even if they could not defeat the cavalry of the Liaodong Army at the fastest speed, they could also make the other party pay a heavy price.
"Withdraw!" Pang De looked at the menacing cavalry of the Liaodong Army and shouted.
The Lieyang Archers retreated, and the morale of the Liaodong cavalry was even higher, and the successive provocations needed to be washed away with the blood of the enemy, and at this time, in their eyes, the Lieyang Archers were like lambs to be slaughtered.
"Kill all the enemies!" The lieutenant general completely left the elevation's advice behind.
The hundred Sun archers deliberately slowed down, and after the Liaodong cavalry was a hundred paces away, they shot a rain of deadly arrows.
The cavalry of the Liaodong Army also did not expect that the Lieyang archers on the way to escape would counterattack, and under surprise, more than ten cavalrymen fell off their horses.
The fall of the cavalry caused a certain amount of trouble to the later cavalry, but it was precisely because of the counterattack of the Lieyang Archers that aroused the ferocity of the Liaodong cavalry even more, and they did not tear the Lieyang Archers to pieces, and they vowed not to give up.
With their skillful equestrian skills and archery, the Lieyang Archers constantly inflicted casualties on the pursuing cavalry of the Liaodong Army, which was also the original intention of Lu Bu to form the Lieyang Archers.
The Burning Sun Archers in front, in the eyes of the Liaodong cavalry, are so within reach, and so far away, how many times, they are ready to take bows and arrows to counterattack, but they are always so far behind, and the Burning Sun Archers in front can always grasp the most appropriate distance to cause casualties to the cavalry in the rear.
After repeating this several times, the adjutant general was already furious, when had the dignified Liaodong cavalry faced such a scene.
There is a distance of thirty miles from the army where the elevation is located, and for the cavalry, the distance of thirty miles can be reached quickly, and the foot soldiers, even if they are running, need an hour, and in this hour, it is enough to do a lot of things.
"Don't let an enemy soldier go." The adjutant shouted.
At this moment, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves suddenly came to mind on the left and right, and the dust and smoke were billowing out, and it was impossible to see how many cavalry there were.
Huang Zhong led a thousand Sun Archers to kill from the left side, and the deputy general led nine hundred Sun Archers to kill from the right side.
