Reborn in the Three Kingdoms Novel - Chapter 157

Chapter 157 Fight Bitterly For Reinforcements
Once the halberd was stretched out, it would often become a gap that cavalry could not cross, or a gap that they would have to pay a high price to cross.

However, when the camp was in chaos, how could those halberd soldiers still be in a defensive state? Even if some people reacted quickly and stretched out their halberds, it would be useless for just one or two people to do so.

Without the defense of the halberd, Lyu bu and the cavalry could easily charge into the infantry formation. Then, it was time for the saber to show its might.

The saber was lighter and quicker than ordinary weapons, but because it had a bit of weight, it could use its momentum to slash the enemy. In this way, once it entered the enemy camp and faced the infantry, the saber could easily take a person’s life with a wave of its saber.

Lyu bu rushed forward, and the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand was spinning like a harvester that could harvest human lives. Then, numerous blood arrows exploded out from his side.

The general was so valiant, and the cavalry behind him were constantly harvesting the lives of the infantry using the momentum of the saber attack. At this moment, it was as if they had rushed into a flock of sheep. Wherever they went, blood was flowing everywhere.

Only five thousand infantry, under the impact of lyu3 bu4 led the army collapsed, after throwing down nearly half of the corpses, feng gong retreat, including a lot of wounded soldiers.

The infantry were actually so vulnerable, this not only exceeded the imagination of general liu, but also the two xiongnu cavalry generals behind them, ada, attilla also did not expect.

They had seen Zhang Quan’s infantry fight against Heishan Army before. At that time, they seemed to be very capable, but how could they be so cowardly the moment they met the cavalry of the Great General? What was the reason?

The Montenegrin army had once invaded Yanmen Prefecture and had been repelled by the infantry. However, these people had come to defend their hometown, knowing that once the Montenegrin army entered, they would be burned and looted everywhere, and would not end well. Secondly, the combat strength of the Montenegrin army was very ordinary. They only relied on the numbers of people to win. In terms of combat strength, they were only third-rate.

Under such circumstances, there was naturally a chance of winning. But now, he was facing the vanguard army led by the first fierce general. It was definitely a first-rate battle power. How could it be an opponent compared to this?

The infantry was defeated so quickly, which was beyond Ada and the others’ expectations. Not to mention the xiongnu cavalry below, even the lord never thought, their formation hasn’t fully unfolded, the opponent rushed over, and then those fleeing infantry began to counter-attack their camp.

Ada and Attila felt extremely troubled when they saw the infantry who had their courage shattered walking past them and even crashing into their horses in panic, causing the cavalry formation to start to become chaotic.

You can be considered an ally of yours anyway. Do you want to kill them just by saying so? It might not be good, but if they didn’t kill them, they wouldn’t be able to find a suitable opportunity to charge.

While Ada and the others were still in a dilemma, Lyu bu had already rushed over. More than two thousand knights and warriors swept over like a gust of wind, and very quickly fought with the Xiongnu cavalry at the front.

At this time, the vanguard army had put away their sabers and exchanged them for spears or sabers to greet the Xiongnu cavalry.

Originally the number of xiongnu cavalry, because the formation was messed up, many people behind, but let the vanguard army number in a certain period of time to occupy the advantage, often a xiongnu cavalry to face two to three vanguard attack.

Originally a single person combat strength is not equal to the huns cavalry, this time to fight two, or even three, the result is imaginable.

One after another, the huns cavalry were chopped to the ground, leaving only the warhorses fleeing. Even under the assault of the warhorses, it caused even more chaos.

“Retreat, retreat five miles!” Seeing that the battlefield ahead was in a mess, Ada and Attila made preparations to withdraw after a brief discussion. This battle did not continue in the way they had expected. If they were to continue fighting, they would probably suffer even greater losses. It would be better to retreat first and reorganize the army.

The southern infantry cavalry retreated. Lyu bu raised his halberd and said loudly, “Stop chasing. Everyone, follow me back to help General Hou Cheng.”

Northward, Hou Cheng. Relatively speaking, his attack was not as smooth as Lyu bu’s.

Although it was the same tactic, it was the archer cavalry that suddenly appeared, killing 10,000 infantry and caught them off guard. Then, with the saber in hand, they attacked with all their might. After all, this was ten thousand infantry, double the number in the south. In addition to the low prince is very despicable, unexpectedly led ten thousand xiongnu cavalry do battlefield supervisor, but any found han infantry back to flee, this is to escape to death.

Go back is a death, rushing forward may die, but may be able to live. Under such a mentality, the ten thousand infantry had no choice but to charge towards Hou Cheng’s army, and the two sides were entangled in a fight.

Just as Hou Cheng and the infantry formed a ball, the huns ten thousand cavalry led by the prince rushed over. With their full advantage in numbers, they used four or five people to deal with a vanguard cavalry. In a short while, they also won a lot of victories. There were two battalions, and about one thousand vanguard cavalry were besieged to death by the huns cavalry.

Seeing his brothers die in battle, Hou Cheng’s eyes revealed anger and sorrow. Hate only hate him also surrounded by four small leaders of the huns, even if want to go to rescue is also powerless.

The Crown Prince, who was behind the army, was overjoyed to see his opponent’s cavalry camp being disrupted. Just as he was thinking of letting the entire army take advantage of the victory to attack, he saw another group of people slaughtering behind the enemy. These people were led by a fierce general wearing a three-pronged purple golden crown, wearing a Nishikawa red cotton flower robe, and waving his Fang Tian Hua Halberd, who suddenly killed them and crashed into his vanguard cavalry.

The two sides met and saw that the fierce general waved his halberd to cut three people in a row, which led to the originally rushing xiongnu cavalry was like being poured a basin of cold water on the head, began to appear chaotic.

“Retreat, retreat, bow and archer cover.” While killing the xiongnu cavalry and wild goose gate county infantry, rushed to the rescue lyu3 bu4 loudly issued orders on the battlefield.

After Lyu bu appeared, he used the momentum of lightning to deal a heavy blow to the opponent, and then retreated while the opponent’s forces were in chaos. Six battalions of three thousand archers had also rushed to the northern battlefield to support them, forcing the Crown Prince to give orders to retreat.

When the two armies fought, the most taboo thing was that there weren’t enough soldiers to charge forcibly. If this was the case, the good situation would be easily destroyed. This meant that the opponent had already formed a new defensive formation, so it was best to retreat first and seek opportunities in the battle.

After the battle, it was only until the Heavenly Black Square that it ended.

Waiting for Hou Cheng, who was dyed red in battle armor, to send a soldier to Lu Bu, he cried bitterly and said, “General, it was my command mistake. Please punish me.”

In this battle, the 2,500 vanguard cavalry led by Hou Cheng had lost 1,200 lives and more than 600 injuries. This was equivalent to losing more than two thirds of their total combat strength.

As a result, Lyu bu’s expression became serious. However, he did not blame Hou Cheng. Instead, he said, “You can’t be blamed for this. There are too many reinforcements from the enemy.”

In addition to lyu3 bu4 attacking the south lost more than three hundred people, today’s battle, the vanguard army killed and injured more than two thousand, eight thousand vanguard army can only fight less than six thousand. However, Lu Bu was not discouraged. The main force was still there, and he could still deal with the enemy.

Compared to the loss of Lyu bu, to the British prince there is better, the huns cavalry but lost five hundred, but the loss of infantry reached four thousand. But Ada and Attila weren’t so lucky. After they retreated five miles, they were at the same time crying.

Being rushed down by lyu3 bu4 wave, han army infantry four thousand dead and wounded, really can only fight less than one thousand. The rest of the huns cavalry is only five thousand. After losing so much, they had only killed five hundred cavalry of the vanguard army. This comparison of the damage done to the vanguard army caused them to feel a strong sense of defeat.

The Earth Slope Battle was still going on. No matter how great the losses were, there was absolutely no chance of stopping the battle. Without a single victory or defeat, it would not end.

After the fierce battle on the first day, on the second and third day, Crown Prince Qu Bei launched another war in succession, killing another three thousand members of the vanguard army. This left only three thousand of the original eight thousand vanguard troops left.

Looking at the exhausted and wounded faces of the cavalry, Lyu bu’s expression was gloomy.

“General, if we fight tomorrow, I’m afraid our losses will only be greater. Should we consider withdrawing our troops? With our strength, we can still kill our way out from the south.” Seeing that Lyu bu wasn’t in a good mood, Hou Cheng walked closer and asked softly.

Although before zhang chao means let Lyu bu no matter what the huns army and zhang quan’s main force. However, at this point in time, even withdrawing troops would not be an exaggeration.

“Wait a moment. Tomorrow will be the day of battle. If the losses are too great, then rush out from the south.” Lyu bu thought for a while and made his decision. After saying those words, he turned his gaze to the south and thought to himself, “Lord, where are you now? Why haven’t you appeared yet? I’m afraid Bu Zhen really can’t stand it anymore.”

When Lyu bu thought about Zhang Chao, he was actually ten miles away from the slope, five miles away from Ada, Alati, and Liu Zai.

Zhang Chao arrived here in the evening, but he did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, he let everyone quietly hide. After that, he sent out a fast horse scout to inquire about the news in front of him.
