Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

Chapter 489: Isn’t it unscientific?

On the cavalry battlefield, no matter you are a low-level soldier or a high-ranking general, the result of falling off the horse is the same. Death will not show mercy to you because of your status.

Of course, except for that pervert Lu Bu!

"General!"

Qu Shu, who was not far away, saw Qu Yi fall off his horse and screamed in shock. He was like a mad beast, hacking and killing the Cao soldiers in front of him to save Qu Yi. However, he was only a dozen steps away and could not get through. More and more Cao soldiers surrounded him and wanted to fight for Qu Yi's head.

Qu Shu focused all his attention on Qu Yi, and was not paying attention when he was stabbed in the neck by an enemy soldier behind him and died on the spot.

On the other side, Qu Yi rolled on the ground and just as he stood up, another knife came towards him. He couldn't dodge in time and a big cut was made on his face, and blood gushed out.

Seeing that the Feixiong Army on the periphery was about to catch up, his instinct for survival made him stand up despite the severe pain, and he dodged a horse that was hitting him head-on. He jumped up and grabbed the reins of another Cao army soldier next to him, trying to drag him off the horse. However, a long spear pierced his left arm joint. The severe pain forced him to let go of his right hand, but his left hand was still tightly holding the military flag that symbolized his identity.

More and more swords and spears stabbed at him. His helmet had fallen off when he fell off his horse. His arms, legs, face, and head were covered with wounds. The rapid blood loss made him look dazed. Knowing that he would not survive, he looked desperately at the Feixiong Army that had already rushed in. With his last breath, he shouted, "Ask the young doctor to help this commander write a military book. Call it Qu Shuaibing..."

Before he could finish his words, a shining knife was swung past his eyes, and his head soared into the sky. His last moment, his gaze was fixed on the Tang army's general platform in the distance.

The Cao soldier who killed Qu Yi took the military flag and head and tried to escape. Hua Xiong, who led the troops to rescue him, was furious when he saw this. He slapped his horse's buttocks and swung his sword like a whirlwind, beheading the Cao soldiers who blocked his way one by one. In a moment, he caught up with the man. Before the Cao soldier could raise his spear to resist, Hua Xiong had already cut him in half with one sword.

He snatched Qu Yi's military flag and took off Qu Yi's head hanging on the horse. Seeing that his face was covered in blood and his eyes were open, Hua Xiong felt a sharp pain in his eyes. If he had been a little faster, Qu Yi would not have died. It was just a little bit of time.

The Feixiong Army chased after this branch of Cao's army. Hua Xiong found Qu Yi's body on the battlefield, along with his head and military flag, and had the soldiers send them back to the general's platform first.

At the very beginning of the battle, the enemy lost 10,000 cavalrymen and a military district commander. This casualty situation shocked everyone on the platform. Many people looked at Qu Yi who died with his eyes open and couldn't recover for a long time. This was really unscientific.

Isn't that unscientific? Anything could happen on the battlefield, and the enemy had deliberately targeted the Tang cavalry.

From the capture of Puyang to the contraction of the Cao army's front line, the abandonment of almost the entire Yanzhou city, and even the sacrifice of Cao Ren, was just to create the illusion that the Cao army was beaten without any ability to fight back.

They set up camp and confronted the enemy, allowing the Tang army to bully them without resistance, which further stimulated the Tang army's pride and underestimation of the enemy before the battle.

When forming the battle line, they put the chariots last to appear, leaving you unable to react; and then they use their small number of cavalry to lure you into charging, so how can you not be defeated?

Zhang Mo gently closed Qu Yi's eyes, which were still open in death, and whispered, "General Qu's military tactics? I know!"

At this time, Lu Bu had no mood to be sad about Qu Yi's death. He just took a look and turned his gaze to the battlefield. On the other side, Zhang Liao had already defeated the front infantry formation and was heading towards Xiahou Dun's main formation, and behind him was Cao's chariot formation.

"Your Majesty, General Wenyuan seems to have been fooled. What should we do now?" Zhang Liao's military advisor Guo Tu asked cautiously.

According to Zhang Liao's military achievements accumulated over the years, he could be crowned a king, and there was no need for him to fight for any merit. But the bait in front was Xiahou Dun, who, like Cao Ren, was an important figure in the core of the Cao family group. He had made Zhang Liao depressed in Xuzhou for so long. Could Zhang Liao suppress his desire to chop off Xiahou Dun's head?

"Yes! What should we do?" Jia Xu also looked worried.

Zhang Liao's position was close to Changyi City. After defeating Xiahou Dun, his cavalry could turn around without any more enemy formations blocking their way. However, if the chariot formation there consisted of four-horse chariots, would the cavalry, after two rounds of fierce fighting, be able to escape? In this situation, the enemy wouldn't need many archers and could simply pursue with chariots, and Zhang Liao wouldn't be able to escape.

Judging from the current situation, the other side arranged two phalanxes in front of the chariot formation, and their purpose must be to first wear down the horsepower of the Tang army.

Furthermore, Zhang Liao was surrounded by Gao Shun's troops. If his cavalry were chased and fled towards this side, it would very likely disrupt his own infantry, and only then would he be truly defeated.

As for the remaining 10,000 to 20,000 Cao's infantrymen in the front, they could be completely abandoned under such circumstances.

Lü Bu said nothing, his gaze scanning the field until he finally settled on the gap in the chariot formation opened by Qu Yi. He instructed Yan Liang and Zhao Yun, "Organize your troops and follow me to take out the crossbow formation behind his chariots."

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Mo looked at him disapprovingly, "You don't have to go in person..."

"It's okay!" Lü Bu interrupted her, explaining, "Gao Shun has already scattered his front line of infantry. I'll use my cavalry to break through the rear. The light cavalry will charge quickly. Once we break through that gap, the archers behind the chariots will be useless. Then it's time for our army to divide and surround him."

Zhang Mo also knew that what Lu Bu said made sense. It was the easiest way to break in from there and it would also be the fastest way to turn the tide of the battle. However, Qu Yi's body was right next to them. How could she let him take the risk?

If his strength was inexhaustible, she wouldn't have to worry at all. But if he exerted too much strength, any soldier could kill him once he ran out of strength. And what if there was a trap behind the chariot formation?

Knowing what she was worried about, Lu Bu reassured her in a low voice, "I won't cheat unless I have to. Even with my normal self, it wouldn't be too difficult to complete this operation. Besides, we have Yan Liang and Zhao Yun."

"Then let Zhongkang go too!"

On the battlefield in front of the central army, Gao Shun, Xu Huang and others were almost suppressing Cao's army. The reserve troops in the rear and Guan Hai's three thousand Golden Eagle Guards had not moved. This was the safest place, so Lu Bu did not refuse her and took Xu Chu, Zhao Yun, Yan Liang and three thousand Flying Bear Army straight to the battlefield.

Three thousand men deployed on such a large battlefield are like a drop in the ocean. They will not bring about any earth-shattering sense of the world, but they will make the nearby soldiers feel a chill on their necks.

Lu Bu did not bring his own military flag, but only issued orders with the Feixiong flag. Therefore, except for a few generals around him, no one knew that the King of Tang had personally taken action. Cao Cao, who was watching the battle from the rear, also thought that the Feixiong Army was going to rescue Zhang Liao's troops from the flank. After all, according to the current battle situation, although Cao's army had achieved a partial victory, the infantry formation in the front had been being eroded, and when they confronted Qu Yi just now, they also lost a lot of cavalry, and the two thousand cavalry who were chasing Qu Yi were also slaughtered by Hua Xiong.

In comparison, Cao's army actually suffered more casualties, but the Tang army lost a military district commander, and the losses were precious cavalry, which made Cao's army seem to have the upper hand.
