Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

Two thousand men against five thousand men, and cavalry warfare, which is what Lu Bu is best at, is almost zero difficulty for him. He doesn't need any internal support at all. Moreover, Lu Bu actually doesn't trust Li Jue very much.

However... considering the encirclement and suppression plan that Amo had originally formulated, Lu Bu decided to accept Li Jue's sincerity and temporarily let go of his two thousand cavalrymen.

He looked out at the cavalry formation ahead and said to Sun Yang, the cavalry commander formerly under Duan Wei, "Form into a long column and charge from the left! Leave the right side alone for now."

Sun Yang received the order and passed it on. The knights at the back automatically retreated, and the knights next to them joined the team. After a while, the original horizontal team became a vertical team. As the command flag was waved, two thousand knights drove their mounts and galloped to the left side of the battlefield.

The two armies were not far apart to begin with, and the cavalry charged into each other after only a moment's charge. In an instant, the horses on the field neighed, and swords and spears clashed, accompanied by screams and blood mist flying all over the sky.

Lu Bu held his long halberd horizontally and charged forward with the help of his horse's momentum. He hardly changed his posture during the whole process. The Fang Tian Hua Ji lying horizontally on the side was like a cutting machine, cutting through the enemy troops in front of him and leaving a straight trail of blood behind him.

The cavalry is still the same cavalry, but there is a huge difference between the one led by Duan Wei and the one led by Lu Bu. On the one hand, Lu Bu's incredible martial arts value boosts morale, but more importantly, Lu Bu's control of speed and the entire formation during the charge.

For example, if the knight in the front is too fast, it is easy to lose touch with the team behind, and then be surrounded by the enemy in a small area. If the speed is too slow, firstly, the lethality will be reduced, and secondly, it is easy to be stopped by the enemy and lose mobility.

Therefore, while Lu Bu was pushing the enemy forward, he was also paying attention to controlling his own speed and the troops behind him, and controlling the positions of the front, middle and rear armies very appropriately.

He only led the team to charge once, but nearly two thousand of the five thousand Liangzhou soldiers were killed. The left half that was attacked by Lu Bu's cavalry was almost completely killed or wounded. Han Sui's general Ma Wan was also killed by Lu Bu.

Seeing such huge casualties, the remaining Liangzhou cavalry were frightened and turned pale. They dared not fight anymore. After the charge, they fled to the rear without looking back.

"My lord, should we go to Tongguan to help in the battle or turn back to pursue the defeated army?" Sun Yang stepped forward and asked.

Lü Bu glanced toward Tongguan, figuring Taishi Ci's forces would have no trouble dealing with Yan Xing. He thought for a moment and ordered, "Turn back! Divide the troops into three. The left wing will head toward Huashan, the right toward the river. Encircle and drive them. Don't let them scatter, and don't engage them in battle. Shoot arrows in the middle to scare them. The middle wing will follow me and drive this defeated army back to attack Han Sui's own formation."

At this time, Lu Bu did not know that Han Sui had sent another 40,000 men to besiege Huayin. He only knew that there were 20,000 infantry and cavalry in the rear trying to encircle him. If conditions were available, it would be best to use the enemy's own people to attack his own people.

As for Li Jue's 2,000 cavalrymen, if he truly surrenders, isn't this a perfect opportunity for him to make meritorious service?

As the military orders were issued, the knights turned around and galloped to the left, center and right. The rumbling sound of horses' hooves, the crazy and strange cries, mixed with the sound of flying arrows, became the death warrant for the fleeing army in front. They whipped their horses desperately, and some even discarded their weapons and armor to reduce the weight.

Gu Zhong, the general of Li Jue's team, thought that the cavalry behind him would not chase and kill them. He tried to slow down a little, but found that the other side would still kill them. He didn't know what Lu Bu meant, so he could only flee with the other defeated soldiers in front.

Lu Bu led his troops and chased the defeated soldiers to the rear like wolves driving a flock of sheep.

General Li Kan, who was leading 20,000 infantry and cavalry to encircle Lu Bu, soon discovered that his own cavalry in front was being driven towards here. It was too late to open a passage in the middle of the team. He panicked and didn't know what to do.

These were about three thousand cavalrymen, and he did not dare to order them to be shot without Han Sui's order.

And even if a person was shot to death or a horse was hit, at such a short distance, the injured warhorse would not fall down for a while. It would only rush forward more frantically, and the formation would still be disrupted.

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Li Kan hurriedly ordered the flag officer to wave flags to the fleeing soldiers, signaling them to turn towards the river, where there was a passage that could bypass the encircling army formation.

The flag officer hurried to the front of the team and waved the flag desperately. However, except for a few people who turned to the side, the main team still rushed straight towards here. The flag officer waved until his arms were sore, but it was useless.

After a while, Li Kan, who was standing on a high place and keeping an eye on the defeated army, despaired again, because Lu Bu's cavalry were actually half-surrounding them from the other side of the river. The thousand cavalry who were about to turn to the other side were frightened and turned back.

At this time, the defeated army was very close to the military formation. In the middle of Li Kan's military formation was an infantry formation to prevent cavalry charges, and there were cavalry on both the left and right wings. The 1,000 defeated soldiers who wanted to turn around happened to face the cavalry on the left wing.

Because they were lined up here, the distance between the cavalry was not very wide, although they could still squeeze through the gaps. However, this defeated army was driven back, and not only did they have no formation, but in their anxiety they only knew how to rush into the gaps. Li Kan's good team was temporarily thrown into chaos.

As for Li Jue's two thousand cavalrymen, they had no intention of turning around, but rushed straight into the middle infantry formation.

This was done intentionally by Gu Zhong, because after seeing the army formation in front, he understood Lu Bu's intention. Li Kan asked the flag officer to wave the flag to indicate that he would not shoot arrows. His general had secretly defected to Lu Bu. Gu Zhong knew that this was the time to make a contribution, so he boldly led his soldiers to rush in.

Of course, these infantrymen were not dead men who would just stand there and let you charge. When they saw the cavalry in front of them coming aggressively and the commander had no order to shoot or kill, this group of people swarmed and retreated to both sides. Li Kan's army formation was instantly broken into pieces by his own defeated army. Lu Bu's cavalry chased them from behind and rushed into the chaotic formation to massacre them.

Seeing the soldiers wailing and fleeing everywhere, Li Kan also collapsed. What the hell was going on? His well-organized infantry formation hadn't even fired a single arrow, and it was just overwhelmed by his own people?

He looked back at the road behind him, with an expression of despair on his face that became even more intense. His lord had sent out another 40,000 troops, 20,000 of whom were surrounding the north gate. These defeated soldiers of his could not break through the besiegers if they fled back, but they would inevitably cause panic among them.

After rushing into the enemy camp, Lu Bu did not use his invincible skills, but just chased these soldiers in a normal state without even having time to draw their swords. The infantry fled in all directions, but two legs could not outrun four legs. Amidst the wailing, heads were chopped off and people fell in a pool of blood.

Li Kan's eyes were bloodshot. At this time, the battlefield was in complete chaos, with infantry and cavalry mixed together. The 3,000 cavalry on the right wing, whose formation was still intact, would find it difficult to rush in and fight. He simply led these 3,000 cavalry to retreat, thinking that when Lu Bu's men rushed to the outside of Huayin City, he would encircle them from behind.

Lu Bu looked around and his eyes fell on the intact cavalry team on the right wing. He said to Sun Yang, "You take a thousand men and continue to pursue the infantry. I will go and kill the cavalry."

Sun Yang responded excitedly and ordered the two generals to lead their respective subordinates to chase and kill them on the left and right.
