Chapter 304: Ruthless Enough! Fierce enough!

The cavalry charged majestically after raising the speed, but in the face of the dense crowd to chisel through?

"Chisel through? Pierce your head! ”

Su Lie is crazy, the cavalry Marquis Zhou dare is not crazy, the cavalry relies on speed to fight, once it loses speed, is it still called cavalry? He shouted something, then picked up the horn on his waist and blew the sound of "woo-woo-woo-".

This cavalry was still trained in the end, and they slowly divided into three groups in the gallop, two cavalry groups of about 500 each moved to the left and right, and Su Lie led a thousand men to break through to the center.

"Huh?" Su Lie regained a little reason when he heard the horn, and he realized that the cavalry was about to make a detour to the left and right, and he also reacted: "Anyway, it's not easy to chisel through, and it's still okay to peel off a layer of skin!" But before that......"

Don't forget that they came with one man and two horses, and when the trumpet was blown again, the officers shouted in unison: "Drive the horses!" ”

Yes, it is to drive the horses, let the horses that no one rides run on their own and crash into the enemy army to trample.

Zhou Dare was distressed, the war horses produced in the south are relatively short (the horse breed of the Yunnan horse series), the source of the cavalry's war horses is dependent on Longxi and Guanzhong, and the number of war horses of Lu Zhejun is only nearly 10,000, how many war horses should be abolished in this horse rush to the enemy?

War horses that no one rides are naturally faster than manned war horses, and their buttocks have just been whipped by their owners and are so painful that they instinctively drive their four legs to "boom" forward with their hooves.

When the uncontrolled war horse approached the crowd of the Chu army, it would not bump into it by itself, because any animal has the instinct to avoid obstacles, several teams of cavalry gritted their teeth and drew their crossbows to shoot a few horses that took the lead and wanted to change the route, and shot the crossbow arrows into the buttocks of many war horses, and finally let the horses rush towards the Chu army.

Another member of the cavalry, Marquis Chen Shao, was also dripping blood in his heart, how could there be anyone in the cavalry who did not love horses, but in order to win, it could only be like that.

"Alright, blow the roundabout bugle!"

Circuitous? Had it not been for the earlier fighting, some buildings had been razed. The cavalry detoured around the county town was purely a joke.

When Mei Kai and Gongwei led the army to defend, the battle with the Chu army led by Xiang Zhu was fierce, and nearly 100,000 people on both sides fought in the county town of five or six square miles, which was relatively destructive, and during the battle, there was always a matter of burning buildings everywhere, and this time was no exception, except for some adobe thick buildings, thatched houses, etc., which were either knocked down or burned to ruins.

However, in general, the advantage of the cavalry in the county has been weakened a lot, which is why Xiang Zhu will bring people to block it, if he is stupid in the open plain area, he will bring a group of recruits to resist the cavalry.

The sound of the roaring horses' hooves was deafening, and the unridden war horse was the first to crash into the Chu army, and in an instant, the sorrowful roar of the war horse and the screams of people were endless.

"Ruthless!" Xiang Zhu didn't know where it was, and it was not easy for the south to get a war horse. He saw that Lu Zhejun dared to pay a big price just to collide with himself, and he was both envious and helpless.

War horses, in the south, are much more precious than people, in other words, he asked himself, if he was at this juncture, would he have the courage to make up his mind to abandon the war horse in exchange for a possible victory?

Reluctantly, Xiang Zhu's answer after asking himself was reluctant, the number of horses that can be called war horses up and down the Chu State is only 6,000, most of which are given to scouts and communication fast riders. The cavalry was less than two thousand.

The Chu army, which was already in a panic, was constantly bumped into layer by layer by the unridden war horse, and the unavoidable Chu soldiers in front of them were desperately knocked out by the war horse, and more were trampled by the huge horse's hooves after falling. The Chu soldiers in the rear listened to the continuous neighing of horses and the screams and cries of people in front of them, and their actions were to look around. Then the mouth shouted words that even they did not understand, and one broke away from the formation and tried to escape, and then the second, and the third......

"Hey, hey! It works great! Su Lie could laugh because he wasn't a cavalryman, he couldn't see the cavalry around him sobbing his cheeks one by one, jumping and bleeding in his heart. He held up the guy in his hand: "Good chance." Accelerate, accelerate! ”

Zhou Dang and Chen Shao had already led their troops to make small turns, and their targets were naturally the left and right flanks of the Chu army. Now I am observing the terrain and waiting for the most opportune moment to kill from the most convenient position.

The speed of the 1,000 cavalry led by Su Lie in the center did not decrease, and the two teams of 500 cavalry each who detoured to the two wings had to slow down because of the turn, and the distance between the three cavalry and the Chu army was not consistent.

There are constantly Chu soldiers escaping, relying on killing people can no longer stop the fleeing crowd, the dense crowd of the Chu army can no longer be maintained, Xiang Zhu's face is very bad but it can't be reversed, he gritted his teeth and took a part of the elite to retreat.

The angle seen by the different positions is naturally different, and in the hand of Su Lie, who was the front cone of the Qin army, is a horse chopping knife, he opened his eyes wide and roared, he didn't realize that the main general of the Chu army had planned to leave the army and only take his cronies to flee, and he was still roaring and galloping first.

The Chu army was in a mess by itself, constantly becoming loose from the periphery, but its center was still crowded, when Su Lie led the army to rush over, the war horse under the seat hit a person and made him almost thrown out of the horse, and at that moment he subconsciously tightened the horse's belly to stabilize. However, the war horse under the seat was so painfully pinched by his legs, and he actually stood up with hissing hooves, and the pair of empty front hooves trampled down fiercely in the horse's whistle, and one of the people who stepped on it was actually the horse's hooves that fell into the chest of the Chu soldier, splashing blood.

Because the war horse under the seat stood so upright, Su Lie was overtaken by the robe next to him. To tell the truth, he was almost thrown out just now and made him feel so palpitating, if he was really thrown out, it was absolutely possible to see that strength to fly three or five feet, he should fall into the middle of the enemy army, and if he didn't fall to death, he would be hacked to death by Chu soldiers because he was dizzy.

The unridden war horses were still relying on the inertia of galloping to trample forward, followed by a steady stream of cavalry, 15,000 Chu troops except for those who were retreating backwards with Xiang Zhu, the entire Chu army was shouting unconsciously, and it was already a look of unintentional resistance and only running away.

"So powerful?" Zhou Kang, who was on the flank, didn't seem to be so distressed by the war horses, he was quite surprised by the results obtained by driving the horses forward, and felt that even if the war horses suffered heavy losses, it was worth it.

The Chu army broke and fled, but the roundabout maneuver to the left and right flanks became a little redundant, Chen Shao and Zhou Dang were necessary to kill from the left and right flanks, but they could maneuver to sweep the formation for Su Lie, who was attacking the Chu army, and on the other hand, it was also to kill and injure those Chu soldiers who ran over.

Xiang Zhu retreated without any hesitation, and now there are still routs that can hold back the enemy's cavalry, and they can't retreat if they want to retreat for a period of time at night, so when will they not return at this time?

"Retreat to the city......" Xiang Zhu shouted loudly, constantly weighing in his heart: "I can't stop the enemy cavalry, and the morale of the besieged Danyang defenders will be greatly boosted because of the arrival of reinforcements, and it is difficult to break through the camp in a short time." Should we continue to bring in troops to encircle and suppress the enemy cavalry that had no speed advantage, or should we withdraw our troops outside the city to recuperate? ”

One is drummed, then it declines, and three is exhausted. The Chu army came in succession, first tentatively attacked, then launched a siege on all sides, and then attacked the camp, and now it was defeated in the hands of the cavalry army that Lu Zhejun rushed to support, it can be said that the morale was up and down during the period, if it has now broken through the empty city camp is naturally nothing, but it is obvious that it is not suitable to fight again after a long time.

There is also a follow-up army of 40,000 on the periphery of the Chu army that will arrive, and the 80,000 brought by Xiang Zhu in the early stage is estimated to be only about 50,000 in a series of battles? And Lu Zhe's army also has a reinforcement of 30,000 people rushing towards Danyang......

"Even if the enemy army of 30,000 people arrives, the remnants of United Danyang are less than 40,000." Xiang Zhu has made a decision, even if he withdraws, it is still about 90,000 to less than 40,000, and they are still absolutely superior in numbers, so he ordered: "Send fast cavalry to the follow-up troops to change the military order, cancel the order to intercept the enemy army, and order them to go straight to Danyang." The rest of the city halted its attack and converged on us. ”

Danyang's side is less than 40,000 people to 4,000 people, but unfortunately the morale of the Chu army here is low, and it has reached the point where it must rest, and then night is about to fall, and those scattered Chu soldiers also need time to regroup, otherwise Xiang Zhu will not want to let go of the opportunity.

Mei Kai, who was struggling to support, made a new discovery, the Chu army besieging the camp retreated in the sound of gold, and he didn't see the shadow of the reinforcements, so he naturally didn't dare to relax, and waited for the enemy to withdraw enough distance before ordering someone to open the camp to receive the remnants of less than 300 troops from the communist lieutenant into the camp.

The co-lieutenants were always being pounced on outside, and after entering the camp, many of them fell directly to the ground, and everyone was almost injured, whether they were on the ground or half-squatting and panting, they were swearing.

Mei Kai found the lieutenant and looked apologetic: "The situation is dangerous, if you open the camp gate, you will be followed by the Chu army, if this is the case, the camp will be breached." ”

"Captain knows." The lieutenant looked a little wolf, but he didn't seem to care, touching the wound on his right arm, and inhaling as he said, "If it were me, I would do the same." ”

Mei Kai couldn't see any disguise in the lieutenant's free and easy manner, he smiled and apologized again, and then said: "There are less than 3,000 people left on our side, and I don't know what the situation is outside?" ”

"It's tragic!" Gongwei broke through the encirclement to get to this point, and he was one of the people who survived the hardest battle in this battle: "The soldiers of Hengshan County are tired troops, and they can't march fast if they want to, and the troops who come over should be the troops on Lie and Shu's side, and the number of 30,000 is the limit." ”

"So, Lie came over with the cavalry first, and the foot soldiers are still behind?" Mei Kai was moved, so that their danger had not been lifted.

"Hmm!" The lieutenant said: "The commander of the Chu army is resolute, we will ...... next"

At this time, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves came from the northwest, and the first to appear in the field of vision of Gongwei and Mei Kai was Su Lie, whose helmet had fallen off and his head was scattered, followed by the cavalry that continued to appear.

"This ...... Why does Su Lie look so wolfy? Mei Kai and Gongwei looked at each other, and knew in their hearts: "The situation is still critical!" (To be continued......)
