【Chapter 222】 The Iron Cavalry of the Dragon and the Tiger

"Da Da Da!"

"Boom---"

On the banks of the Bashui River, thousands of horses galloped, the sound of horses' hooves resounded in the sky, and the earth trembled. Even the sparkling river water suddenly rippled, without wind and waves, the waves rippled, setting off layers and circles of waves, rolling up the sediment on the bank of the river, mixing the clear water of the river.

"Kill--"

Zhang Liao, who was charging ahead, didn't know when to change into a tall war horse with full armor, and the more than 1,000 soldiers who rushed to the front of the wolf cavalry army were also wearing heavy armor, war horses and armor, and moved forward bravely.

"This is the Jin Ge Iron Horse, a heavily armored iron horse!"

During the charge, Li Li didn't care at first that the war horse under Zhang Liao's crotch was also wearing iron armor, and it was not until he saw that there were a thousand heavily armored cavalry in the Bingzhou wolf cavalry that he suddenly woke up and exclaimed.

Yes, Li Li also saw that after Zhang Liao returned from defeat, he changed into a war horse covered in armor, he didn't care about it at the time, and he didn't think much about it. What he never expected was that there were a thousand heavily armored cavalry hidden in the wolf cavalry formation.

Heavy cavalry, this is the nemesis of the natural enemy of light cavalry!

On the banks of the Bashui River, empty as a wilderness, a thousand heavily armored cavalry, with the help of five thousand wolf cavalry, can gallop vertically and horizontally, invincible.

Since then, Jin Yiwei is in trouble, in danger, and hopeless in winning.

"Tie Tuo and Ma Chao led Jin Yiwei to outflank the two wings! The rest of the generals listened to the order, led their own soldiers, and attacked the heavy cavalry with the general! Fight your back and smash their heads! Kill me -- "

In the midst of the gallop, Li Li immediately made a decision and brazenly ordered the division of troops, and he personally led dozens of generals and hundreds of personal soldiers to form a goose-shaped formation to meet the heavy cavalry head-on.

"Phew!"

"Bang--"

As the horse galloped, Li Li shouted angrily. The broadsword in his palm suddenly flipped over, the back of the knife met the enemy, and with a single blow, a heavy armored soldier who rushed straight out of the way. But seeing that the heavy armored cavalryman's chest instantly sank, he spat blood and flew off the horse's back, and then knocked over three or four heavy armored soldiers, before he fell off the horse, and was immediately trampled by the horse's hooves into a pile of scrap iron and flesh.

Li Li's horizontal knife immediately rushed to the forefront, and the iron-backed golden knife flew in his hand, each knife was full of strength, and the momentum sank. Powerful and brave. Every heavily armored cavalryman who was hit by the back of his sword either died of a dent in the chest and vomited blood, or was killed instantly by a heavy blow to the head, but without exception, they were all shocked into the air. knocked down several armorers behind him, and fell to the ground sharply. Reduced to the ghost of a horse's hooves. There are no dead bodies.

For Li Li, such a fierce battle formation is already familiar with it and is accustomed to it.

However, this time the battle between Jin Yiwei and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was different from usual. The appearance of the heavily armored cavalry greatly shocked Li Li, and gave him a strong sense of crisis in his heart, so much so that he took the initiative to give up leading Jin Yiwei to charge head-on. Immediately, he led the generals of the Wuwei Army to form an assault formation, trying to kill and injure a large number of heavy cavalry under Lu Bu.

The Wuwei Army started with light cavalry, and now most of the tens of thousands of soldiers are light cavalry, although all the soldiers are very brave and fierce. Even fearless of death. But these Liangzhou men are flesh and blood after all, and in the face of the heavily armored cavalry wrapped in heavy iron armor, even if they have the heart to kill the enemy, they are also more than willing to do it. If you can't break through the enemy's heavy armor, how can you kill the enemy?

Therefore, Li Li did not want the good men under his command to die in vain, so he mobilized them to attack and kill on both wings, so as to stagger the iron hooves of the heavy cavalry and preserve the strength of Jin Yiwei.

But on the frontal battlefield, someone had to charge into battle to resist the torrent of iron hooves of Jin Ge's iron horse, so Li Li took the lead and led his generals to fight head-on. What is a mainstay? Those who can stand up in times of crisis are the mainstay!

At the same time, Li Li also specially explained the method of killing the heavy armored cavalry, that is, one force will drop ten times, and the spear will not pierce the heavy armor, then the huge force will shock him to death!

In the battle formation, Dian Wei and Teng Yu, the two generals who followed Li Li, seemed to have returned to the days when they were the commanders of Li Li's personal guards. They worked together to support Li Li's side, rushed left and right, and vigorously bombarded and killed the heavy cavalry according to the method of facing the enemy that Li Li said, with remarkable results and killing a lot of enemies.

However, many middle and low-level generals who followed closely behind them did not follow the order. In particular, the generals, who were good at using spears and spears, still swung their spears and stabbed them directly, but the spear could not pierce the iron armor of the heavy armor at all, and they died tragically under the iron of the enemy soldiers.

At the forefront of the Wuwei army, Li Li led Dian Wei, Teng Yu, Tatar, Tie Xiao and other generals to rush and fight fiercely, killing a bloody road.

On the surface, they seem to be unstoppable, and the power of the heavy cavalry is no more than that, but in reality they are not. They were only a handful of the main generals in the army with high martial arts, so although the heavy armored cavalry was amazingly lethal, it was not enough to see in front of them, and it could not stop the momentum of their charge at all. They rushed into the enemy line with great success, killing and killing with great joy. But the ordinary generals behind them suffered heavy casualties and struggled, and several Wuwei generals fell and died tragically every time they took a step forward.

This is still a rather powerful general, and the hundreds of personal soldiers who followed the general ended up even worse. These personal soldiers were all soldiers in the army who had survived a hundred battles, but they couldn't try to exchange their lives in front of the heavily armored cavalry under Lu Bu. In the fierce battle, they killed an average of two people to kill one heavy cavalryman, some only knocked the heavy armor off their horses, and some only stabbed the enemy's crotch war horse. In short, the personal soldiers led by Li Li suffered huge casualties in the confrontation with the heavy armored cavalry, and there were only a few of the personal soldiers who could really follow Li Li and kill them.

Li Li, who took the lead, also noticed the heavy casualties of his own soldiers behind him, but he could do nothing but watch these battle-hardened veterans fall off their horses one by one, trampled into flesh by heavy armor and iron hooves.

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a familiar face screaming to death, Li Li was very distressed, so painful that he bared his teeth, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his face was hideous. But this is war, a war of cruelty, ruthlessness, bloodthirsty killing. In the fighting, no one has mercy, and only by killing to stop killing, killing with blood for blood, and killing with tooth for tooth can we exchange hope for survival.

The Wuwei Army and the Bingzhou Army under the command of Lu Bu originally had no enmity or grudge, and both belonged to the Xiliang Army under Dong Zhuo, but they turned against each other because of the battle of will, so that the two armies faced each other and fought bloodily. It's hard to say who is right and who is wrong. But there is no doubt that whoever wins this great war will be able to occupy the commanding heights of truth, and will be able to say whatever he wants, so that people dare not refute it.

This is the way to survive in troubled times. Right and wrong are not important, good and evil are insignificant, big fists and strength, the weak eat the strong, and the strong are respected, this is the last word.

Dong Zhuoquan leans towards the government and the opposition, and looks down on the world, why? Lu Bu is arrogant and domineering, his eyes are above the top, and there is no one in his eyes, why is it? Yanzhou Cao Cao is not afraid of Dong Zhuo, why is he so confident? Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers divided one side without authorization, wantonly expanded their territory, recruited soldiers privately, and ignored the orders of the imperial court, what did they rely on? The list goes on and on??????

In the final analysis, they rely on the strength in their hands. And the fist is big, although it is violent, but it is even more powerful.

Before coming to the bank of the Bashui River, Li Li didn't know what Lu Bu relied on to dare to set off this huge battle between the two armies, and he didn't know why Lu Bu was so confident that the Bingzhou wolf cavalry led by him would definitely win.

Now Li Li knows and sees it. Because the wolf riders in Bingzhou are not only brave, but also well-equipped, and more importantly, Lu Bu is quite wealthy and rich!

At this point, Li Li didn't feel that there was much gap between himself and Lu Bu before, and even he was complacent for a while, thinking that Lu Bu and the Bingzhou army under his command were not to be feared, and they were not the opponents of the Wuwei army at all. And that's exactly what happened.

But this time when the two armies rushed into battle, Lu Bu gave Li Li an extremely vivid lesson that he remembered in his heart. The war is not only about the courage of the soldiers, but also about the profound heritage, to put it bluntly, it is gold, silver and money.

The Wuwei army is strong and strong, the soldiers use their lives, and the generals are brave, these are all right. However, the foundation of the Wuwei army was too shallow, Li Li's family background was innocent, and Wuwei County and even Zhangye County and the two subject countries were poor places, and they could not provide Li Li with enough gold, silver and money, so they could not supply sophisticated ordnance and equipment. Therefore, even though there were tens of thousands of cavalry under Li Li's command, there was not a single heavy cavalry, not a single horse in armor, and no heavy infantry. It's not that he doesn't want to, but he doesn't have the financial resources, and it's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, so she can't help it!

In the fierce battle formation, listening to the screams of his own soldiers, Li Li was distracted. Although he still wielded his knife and fought hard, his mind was thinking about many things that he hadn't thought about before. Maybe he had thought about it occasionally before, but not as far and thoroughly as he had thought about it now. Perhaps it was because he was able to gain a foothold in Liangzhou after many battles, which made him complacent and forgetful, which invisibly bred arrogance. Or maybe he lived in a corner of Liangzhou, fighting with Han Sui, Ma Teng and other poor soldiers all day long, so that his eyes were limited to the desert of the Western Regions, where the mountains and rivers were poor, and he ignored the rich Kwantung princes and the siege weapons and high-quality armor and blades they possessed.

Playthings are demoralized, unenterprising, well-off, and self-righteous, this is Li Li's summary of his inaction for more than three months in the midst of the fight, and it is also self-examination and self-examination.

Li Li, who was unguarded, instinctively galloped his horse to kill, and several times the heavy cavalry tried to kill him, but he was repeatedly in danger without knowing it. Fortunately, Dian Wei and Teng Yu always supported him, tried their best, and fought hard, so that Li Li was safe and secure in his distraction, so that he could think clearly about many problems that he had not thought of without interference from external forces, and sort out a strong road suitable for the future development direction of the Wuwei Army.

"Lord beware!"

Just as Li Li was clearing his mind and his heart was clear, he suddenly heard Teng Yu's angry shout in his ears, and then a cold light suddenly came into view. In the flash of lightning, Li Li suddenly woke up, his eyes burst out with cold killing intent, and he swung his knife and slashed at the oncoming cold blade.

That's right, that cold light was the light blade refracted by the long-handled broadsword cutting through the sky, and more than ten steps in front of Li Li, there was a general under the command of Lu Bu galloping on his horse, and quickly swung his knife to slash at Li Li head-on.
