Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later
Chapter 490: Encirclement and Killing of Lü Bu
Cavalry charge has always been Lu Bu's strong point. Zhao Yun and Yan Liang also led cavalry in the past. Zhao Yun once led Gongsun Zan's elite White Horse Volunteers. They are all veterans with rich battlefield experience. They can judge where to charge and where to attack very accurately after going into battle.
First, he bypassed Gao Shun's trap camp, and along the way he eliminated some of Cao's soldiers who were killed and fled by Gao Shun. Then he waded through Cao's cavalry, causing a bloody storm and then abandoned these remnants, and rushed straight to the rear half of the infantry formation. Lu Bu did not rush in directly, but circled the infantry and launched a few rounds of horse shooting, making Cao Cao, who was watching the battle from the rear, think that this force was here to assist, and then he spotted a loose breakthrough point and suddenly launched a charge.
With Lü Bu, Zhao Yun, Yan Liang and Xu Chu leading the way, they could have easily started their unparalleled mowing mode by breaking into the infantry formation, but Lü Bu didn't do that. He simply maintained the normal combat level of a cavalry and waded through it.
Cao Cao's attention shifted from Zhang Liao to this side. He was a little surprised to see that the other party had rushed into the formation in such a short time. However, when he thought that this was the most elite Feixiong Army of the Tang Dynasty, he could understand it.
After a while, the Feixiong Army broke through the infantry formation, but to Cao Cao's surprise, the enemy had no intention of turning back, but rushed towards the chariot formation.
The space in front of the chariot formation was not large, and Qu Yi's 10,000 cavalrymen could not turn around, but it was more than enough for two or three thousand cavalrymen to turn around flexibly.
"What does the Flying Bear Army want to do?"
Although Qu Yi had opened a gap in the chariot formation, the corpses and damaged vehicles on the other side had been almost cleared by the auxiliary soldiers. It was a bit too late to block it with cars at this time, but it was still possible to block it with people. Moreover, there were archers on both sides. Was the Feixiong Army seeking its own death?
Regardless of what he was planning, Cao Cao roared, "Quick! Have Wen Ze deploy his chariot formation, attack from both sides, and trap the Feixiong army! Gongda, quickly dispatch the reserve cavalry to hold the gap and buy Wen Ze time."
The Feixiong Army is the most elite cavalry team in the entire Tang Dynasty, equivalent to Lu Bu's facade. If these 3,000 people can be eliminated, although the tactical significance is not great, the military and strategic significance is quite important. How can Cao Cao not be excited?
In fact, there was no need for Cao Cao to give the order. Yu Jin, who was in charge of commanding the chariot formation, had already made the best response strategy in the first time after seeing the intention of the Feixiong Army. He also believed that Cao Cao's idea would be the same as his. This is the tacit understanding between the monarch and his ministers, which can save a lot of time on the ever-changing battlefield.
So, as soon as Cao Cao gave the order, the chariots on both sides of the arc began to move towards the center, trying to form a small circle to surround the Feixiong Army.
However, because these vehicles are pulled by a single rider, their speed is only about the same as that of a horse-drawn carriage. Some of them are pulled by oxen but are not even as fast as a horse-drawn carriage. Therefore, the cavalry in the front is needed to block the gap first, delay the Feixiong Army, and give the chariots time to change their formation.
As Lu Bu rushed forward, he kept an eye on the battlefield. He had anticipated the opponent's countermeasure when he decided to charge, so he deliberately conserved his strength when breaking the formation just now, hoping to let the opponent relax his vigilance.
"Everyone, speed up!"
Lu Bu roared, and Red Hare seemed to understand his command. As soon as he finished speaking, it spread its hooves and galloped away. Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, and Xu Chu followed suit and urged their horses to gallop.
The Feixiong Army's mounts are the best in the entire army. Although they are not as good as the Red Hare, they are not much worse and can barely keep up with the speed of the four people in front.
Cao's army's reserve force was just behind the archers. Three thousand cavalrymen gathered towards the gap as soon as they received the order. When Lu Bu and others rushed over, the enemy cavalry also arrived. The four people who opened the way no longer needed to hold back their strength and could just rush in with brute force.
The gap was not very wide to begin with, and the four men spread out and occupied almost half of the road. Lu Bu took the lead, holding the Fang Tian Hua Ji at his side, and knocked away the Cao army that blocked his way one by one with the halberd.
Xu Chu and Yan Liang also swung their swords with brute force, chopping arms, legs, and heads wherever they could. The extremely sharp blades and the speed enhanced by their warhorses made their killing power not as great as Lu Bu's, but they were still unstoppable. Most of the Cao soldiers who were hit by the two were directly torn into pieces.
Compared to these three people, Zhao Yun was much gentler. He danced with his silver spear as fast as light and shadow, and it didn't seem like he used much strength. However, anyone who was bitten by it would fall off their horse.
With these people leading the way, the speed of the Feixiong Army behind was not slowed down. Three thousand people rushed into the enemy cavalry team with the force of tigers and wolves, bringing about screams and wails!
In the stands, Cao Cao was completely dumbfounded. He knew that the Feixiong Army was powerful, but he didn't expect them to be so powerful to the point of being almost abnormal. Especially those four people leading the way, what the hell were they?
What the hell?
Cao Cao suddenly thought of something, and his pupils shrank suddenly. He hurriedly took a few steps forward and stopped at the edge of the stands. He put his hands on his chest and squinted his eyes to look at the cavalry team. His eyes were fixed on the man who was rushing in the front. He was wearing black iron armor and riding a red mount. Who else could it be but Lu Bu?
He really never expected that after only half a day of fighting, Lu Bu would come in person to break into the battle?
Cao Cao was very clear about Lu Bu's abnormal martial arts. The moment he determined that the man was Lu Bu, his legs went weak and his body staggered. Xun You, who was beside him, was quick to support him and prevent him from falling to the ground.
"What should I do? It's Lu Bu! It's Lu Bu!" Cao Cao's face turned pale, and the joy and confidence brought by killing Qu Yi disappeared without a trace in an instant.
In the Luoyang Palace, the Suanzao Military Camp, and on the Xiaoshan Road, Cao Cao almost died at the hands of Lu Bu many times. His fear of Lu Bu was deeply engraved in his heart.
If it was just the Feixiong Army, although the 3,000 cavalry of Cao's Army could not stop the enemy, it was enough to give Yu Jin time to set up the chariot formation. But the one leading the troops was Lu Bu, a pervert who could kick a horse away with one foot. Even if the chariot formation surrounded him, he could knock you all away with one halberd and one horse.
What should I do? Xun You was at a loss for a moment.
"No matter how brave Lü Bu is, he is still a mortal. If Cao Gong is willing, he can kill him."
Just as Cao Cao and the others were at a loss, Sun Ce suggested, "Doesn't Cao Gong still have 400 four-horse chariots ready to crush Zhang Liao? Why not transfer them to deal with Lu Bu first? He can overturn one, two, or even ten chariots, so is he capable of overturning hundreds? If we can kill Lu Bu, we'll win the battle."
"Lü Bu's horse is fast, so we may not be able to succeed. Besides, we have our own archers and chariots here. If we don't manage it well, we might end up with our own people crashing into each other."
Xun You disagreed. "Besides, what will Zhang Liao do if the chariots are deployed over there? Once he breaks through Yuan Rang's formation, he can still rush to the rear."
These offensive chariots were the last trump card of Cao's army. Although there were only 400 of them, they were enough to sweep across half of the battlefield. Cao Cao's original plan was to crush Zhang Liao's cavalry first, and then take advantage of the situation to attack Gao Shun's infantry. With the endurance of his own war horses, he could just complete these two operations, but now there was the unexpected change of Lu Bu.
Sun Ce said, "Red Hare is fast, but not all horses are. The enemy has already charged through two army formations, so their endurance is certainly not what it was at the beginning. Even if we can't kill Lü Bu, killing the Flying Bear Army is more cost-effective than killing Zhang Liao and his men. Besides, we still have 30,000 reserve troops in the rear, so Zhang Liao won't gain much advantage if he charges in."
"Destroy Feixiong's army and Lü Bu first! Have Yuan Rang hold the line." Cao Cao hesitated for a moment before issuing a resolute order. Gazing at the battlefield ahead, he added, "Discard the 3,000 cavalrymen; let Lü Bu take care of them. The archers here should retreat, and I'll surround one side with my chariot."
