The Three Kingdoms began with island farming

Chapter 535: Arousing the Will to Die

This was the most brutal battle Guan Yu had ever experienced.

Both sides are top legions in the world.

Apart from the Flying Bear Army which has already fallen and disappeared, when it comes to frontal combat capabilities, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is absolutely the undisputed leader in the world.

Whether it is the Baima Yicong, which prefers light cavalry, or the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry and Ruihu Cavalry, which prefer all-rounders, they are slightly inferior in frontal charge.

Of course, special existences like the Dragon Soul Army are not included.

Sun Ce's Overlord Cavalry does have the potential to surpass it, but it is only potential.

True dragons cannot be raised in shallow water.

In a place like Jiangdong which is not suitable for cavalry combat, it is difficult to train excellent cavalry, let alone top cavalry.

Similarly, Guan Yu’s swordsman is also extremely unique.

The momentum of 30,000 elite troops in the rear was drawn out and added to the 500 swordmen. At this moment, their strength was in no way inferior to that of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the soul legion.

Moreover, the Mo Dao in his hand is the best weapon against cavalry.

In such a crowded battlefield, even though the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry slaughtered everyone indiscriminately to ensure the strength of the charge, they were still inevitably affected and their speed did not reach its peak.

This gave Guan Yu a good opportunity.

Cavalry is undoubtedly at an advantage over infantry.

No matter how targeted they were, the impact of the cavalry weighing hundreds of pounds charging at a terrifying speed was extremely terrifying.

In just the first confrontation, the knifemen in the first two rows were knocked away.

Even though they were wearing sturdy Ming Guang armor, and even though their Mo Dao cut their horses in half first, the terrible impact force and inertia still knocked them backwards.

Moreover, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry's charge was continuous.

The seemingly loose formation, with a distance of about two meters between each other, did not affect the impact brought by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry at all.

The front and rear rows were staggered horizontally by half a body length, which made it possible for the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to charge continuously like waves.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in the front row knocked away nearly two rows of swordsmen, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in the second row immediately filled in the gaps left by the former to launch the second wave of charge.

This cycle repeats itself over and over again, with each row of cavalry being able to charge at their strongest speed and crash into the enemy unhindered.

It was the most terrifying charge Guan Yu had ever seen in his life.

Humans are creatures that know how to think and understand the pros and cons, and it is our instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm.

Many times, a few soldiers can easily control hundreds of refugees with just some tricks.

Even though they were no match for the hundreds of people, these people were afraid of death and they didn't want to be the first to get beaten.

In a certain era, when weapons and equipment were backward, how could one eliminate the machine guns in the bunkers in the simplest, fastest and least damaging way?

The answer is simple: use your chest to block it, but how many people can really do it?
Humans are not machines, they are made of flesh and blood, so it is normal for them to love life and fear death. Those who can accomplish such a feat are extremely rare heroes.

Guan Yu had led cavalry before and was well aware of the impact power of cavalry.

As long as you rush to the front, no matter how well-armored the enemy is or how well-trained he is, the hundreds of pounds of flesh hitting him can still cause serious injury or death.

But there is hardly any cavalry general who would demand this of his cavalry, and there is no army that would execute such an order without hesitation.

Even if there are, they are only a minority.

Most cavalrymen simply added the force of the charge to their spears. Once the first wave of thrusts failed, they would rein in their horses and stop, engage in a fight with the enemy, or make detours and attack repeatedly.

Guan Yu had always believed in this. But now, the iron rule he believed in seemed to be broken.

Looking at the several cavalrymen charging towards him, Guan Yu swung his sword and cut them in half one by one, but he had to dodge sideways.

Even he couldn't bear the weight of several hundred kilograms.

Cao Chun was located in the center rear of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. He witnessed his own side's relentless charge without any joy, but instead felt full of sadness.

No general would be willing to adopt such a "suicidal tactic".

These Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were all trained by him bit by bit.

Every person has not only a huge amount of money and food, but also countless hard work.

However, for Cao Cao, for this last hope, he can give up everything.

"Charge!" Cao Chun shouted desperately.

At this moment, he wished that he was the one rushing to the front. If he could fall here, perhaps he would not blame himself so much.

However, for Cao Cao, he could not die. His death would be more meaningful.

Cao Cao, who was in the rear, was also staring at this place intently, and madly bestowed talents on the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

Every Tiger and Leopard Rider fell into a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, as if they could no longer feel the pain. The only things in their eyes were the enemies in front of them, the only things in their ears were the sound of the sharp wind, and the only thing in their minds was the word "charge".

Cao Cao never thought that his talent would be further improved, but his enhanced talent undoubtedly increased the chances of success for the tactics he had originally placed high hopes on.

After killing several cavalrymen again, Guan Yu steadied himself and glanced across the battlefield. He saw that the swordsmen were retreating step by step under the charge of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

Although the Mo Dao in their hands was extremely powerful and could kill horses and riders, they were still unable to withstand the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry's continuous charge like a tide.

You underestimated the enemy!
Guan Yu couldn't help but sigh.

I thought that with the combat power of the school swordsmen, combined with the Mo Dao, they would be able to deal with any strong enemy.

But the madness of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry before him was beyond his imagination.

How did Cao Cao train such a group of warriors with strong fighting ability and fearlessness of death?
He had only seen this kind of ability in Gao Shun and Qu Yi, and he didn't expect that there was a third person in the world who could do it.

Fortunately, however, corpses can also block the way.

Especially for cavalry charging at high speed, if the horse's hoof is slightly tripped, both the man and the horse will most likely die.

Looking at the corpses of soldiers and horses all over the ground, a fierce light flashed in Guan Yu's eyes.

As long as he held the line for a while longer, he would be able to build a tripping wall made of flesh and blood on the spot.

"kill!"

Without the protection of his personal guards, Guan Yu faced heavy siege, but instead of retreating, he advanced and stood out alone without fear.

There is only a fine line between life and death. Every moment now is crucial for both sides.

If you hold on for just a moment longer, that moment may very well be the dividing line between victory and defeat, life and death.

Guan Yu's determination to fight to the death immediately aroused the fanaticism among the swordsmen.

Although the school swordsmen had to submit to being repelled by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry with such a rogue style of fighting, they also accumulated tremendous anger and resentment in their hearts.

The enemy is not afraid of death, so are they afraid of death?
They are the Qi army! The elite of the Qi army, there is no way they can be defeated by others!
Guan Yu's appearance undoubtedly completely ignited their anger and aroused their determination to die.
