Chapter 390 The Sorrow of Overlord Cavalry
Chapter 389: The Death of Overlord Cavalry
The Overlord Cavalry under the command of Xiang Yu did not directly join the battle. Instead, they made a large circle on the battlefield and then prepared to attack the Han army from the left wing.
Under the command of Yue Fei, 10,500 Han troops quickly gathered on the left flank of the battlefield and were ready.
Both armies only have 30,000 troops, and the 23,000 troops sent by the Yellow Turbans are all cavalry, and the remaining 7,000 are obviously infantry.
However, even the infantry is no easier to deal with than the cavalry. Qin Hao can be sure that these 7,000 infantry are the most elite yellow scarf warriors.
Qin Hao used various methods and finally allowed 15,000 cavalry to suppress Xiang Yu's 20,000 cavalry head-on.
As long as Xiang Yu is not allowed to cause trouble along the Central Army's side, victory will come sooner or later.
As for Xiang Yu's 3,000 Overlord Cavalry on the left wing, Yue Fei's 10,500 troops and horses can intercept them, so there shouldn't be any problem. After all, Yue Fei is an expert at dealing with cavalry.
As for the remaining 7,000 soldiers and horses of the Yellow Turbans, there is some trouble. Qin Hao only has 4,500 extra troops in his hands. It is obviously not easy to stop the 7,000 Yellow Turban warriors.
Just when Qin Hao was thinking about how to respond, Xiang Liang had already led 7,000 yellow turban warriors and was preparing to attack the right wing of the Chinese army.
The 20,000 yellow turban cavalry in the central army have persisted until now because of Xiang Yu. If 7,000 fresh troops are allowed to join at this time, the situation will be reversed.
Qin Hao didn't have much time to consider the gains and losses, so he made a decision immediately: "Where are Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan...?"
“The end will be here.”
Nine local princes from the Three Kingdoms stood up together, and if these nine people did not die, they would definitely be on one side in the future, but now they are all temporarily under the command of Qin Hao.
Looking at these figures who were destined to be all-powerful, but now they were all crawling at his feet, Qin Hao felt a sense of pride in his heart.
With so many heroes helping me, I cannot afford to lose this battle.
As soon as he thought of this, Qin Hao immediately ordered: "You and other nine people, led by Cao Cao, each commanding 500 sword and shield soldiers, must stop these 7,000 Yellow Turban warriors. As long as these 7,000 Yellow Turban warriors can be stopped, this battle will be Our army will win."
After hearing what Qin Hao said, a hint of gloom suddenly flashed in Yuan Shao's eyes. Among the nine generals, he had the highest official position, so he should be the leader, but Qin Hao chose to let Cao Cao be the leader.
Yuan Shao subconsciously believed that Qin Hao was deliberately suppressing him because of his personal grudge with the Yuan family.
Qin Hao would naturally not be so petty. The reason for this arrangement was just because Cao Cao had the highest commander.
The nine generals who each had their own secrets didn't know it, but they finally accepted Qin Hao's order.
Now that the war has reached its most important moment, we cannot allow internal strife over this matter.
On the left wing, Xiang Yu is about to fight Yue Fei head-on. Of course, Yue Fei will definitely not fight Xiang Yu. The ones responsible for stopping Xiang Yu are still Ran Min and Lu Bu.
Just before he collided with Bawangqi, Ran Min decisively ordered: "Prepare the javelin, aim at Xiang Yu, and throw."
“Ding dong, Ran Min’s skill ‘King of Heaven’ is activated. When facing a battle with the same clan, the commander +2, the force +3, the morale of the whole army will increase, the combat power will increase, and the speed will increase..."
Five hundred iron spears were thrown at Xiang Yu, the leader of the team, at the first moment. When Xiang Yu saw this, his face suddenly changed, and he quickly shouted: "Disperse, disperse quickly."
But it was still too late. There were nearly two hundred Overlord Cavalry around Xiang Yu, and they died directly under the first round of gunfire.
As for Xiang Yu himself, he naturally knocked away all the javelins that attacked him. After witnessing the casualties of Bawangqi, Xiang Yu didn't even have time to feel distressed. The second round of throwing spears at the broken barracks began again. Each soldier in the Po Army Camp was equipped with five throwing spears. They usually threw three rounds before the battle, and two rounds when the enemy was defeated and pursued. However, this time the Po Army Camp only had time to throw two rounds.
The mounts equipped by the Overlord Cavalry are also good horses, so Pojun did not have time to throw the third round, but only two rounds of throwing caused more than 300 casualties to the Overlord Cavalry.
Before the two armies fought, one-tenth of the precious Overlord Cavalry was lost. Xiang Yu could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and he rode alone into the broken army camp.
But before Xiang Yu could kill a few people, Ran Min and Lu Bu appeared in front of him. When Xiang Yu saw this, his face turned pale and he fought with the two men again.
“To break the momentum of an army, advance but never retreat.”
“Boom…”
The 500 Po Army Camp and the 3000 Overlord Cavalry finally collided directly.
Although the Overlord Cavalry is not a heavily armored cavalry, the defensive power of the chain armor equipped by the soldiers is equally good, so the originally imagined scene of people falling on their backs did not appear.
The soldiers of the Overlord Cavalry were obviously well prepared. As soon as they fought against the Pojun Camp, they formed groups of two or three to hunt down the knights of the Pojun Camp, preparing to win by relying on their numbers.
Yue Fei who was behind saw this, a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth, and then ordered: "In front of the target, throw the arrow at a 60-degree angle."
“Ding dong, Yue Fei’s skill ‘Wu Mu’ is activated. When facing a battle with the same clan, the commander +1, the morale of the whole army increases, the combat power increases, and the speed increases... Yue Fei’s current commander increases to 101.”
After receiving Yue Fei's order, the five thousand archers did not hesitate at all. They aimed at the Overlord Cavalry and the Po Army Camp in front and started firing arrows directly.
The first round of five thousand arrows fell directly on the battlefield like raindrops. The knights on the Overlord Cavalry were stunned when they saw this.
Is the commander of the Han army crazy?
Why did you shoot even one of your own people?
Screams continued to sound, but what was unacceptable was that there were very few injuries to the broken military camp, but hundreds of Overlord Cavalry people fell.
The defense of the heavy armor of the broken military camp is all-round, so it is not afraid of arrow attacks. After all, the probability of being shot in the eye if you are unlucky cannot be too high.
There are many loopholes in the armor of the Overlord Cavalry, and the covering attack of five thousand arrows did not cause 500 casualties. It can be seen that the Overlord Cavalry must also have received training in defensive bows and arrows.
Yue Fei is not discouraged. If it doesn't work once, just try it a few times. It will always wear you out.
Xiang Yu naturally would not let Yue Fei get his wish. After realizing Yue Fei's intention, he did not bother to continue to entangle with Ran Min and Lu Bu.
Hang Yu jumped out of the battle circle, no matter how much the two chased him, he stopped fighting with them, and then began to divide his troops to fight.
Xiang Yu asked his deputy general, 1,500 Overlords, to continue to ride against the enemy camp, while he himself led 1,000 Overlords to ride straight towards Yue Fei in the middle army, apparently intending to carry out his beheading plan.
Seeing this, Yue Fei showed a real expression. He continued to direct the archers to fire arrows at Xiang Yu's thousand cavalry, and at the same time ordered: "Qin Yong, you lead two thousand spearmen to block it head on. Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, you The two men each led 1,500 spearmen to attack from both sides."
“No.” The three of them responded and left quickly.
