Three Kingdoms

The cavalry is the most difficult unit to deal with.

The reason is that the cavalry is too mobile and has extremely high initiative. If it is in a plain, whether it is to attack, encircle, harass, or even retreat, the initiative is basically in the hands of the cavalry.

Archers and even crossbowmen can restrain cavalry to a certain extent, but archers are also fragile. If cavalry attacks them, archers will not even be as good as ordinary infantry.

The formation of pikemen can resist the impact of cavalry, but the traveling speed is much different from that of cavalry. The cavalry can completely abandon the formation of pikemen to deal with those opponents who are easy to chew. The dense formation of pikemen is as slow as a tortoise. Zhen could only stare...

The biggest opponent of the cavalry is always the cavalry.

Just like now, Guo Pu's only choice is to accelerate forward, crush the group of cavalry blocking the road on the opposite side, and then, depending on the situation, choose to turn around or break away from the battle...

Staying where you are and forming a confrontation, or turning around is the stupidest behavior.

Because the most important thing for cavalry is speed, the second most important thing is speed, and the third most important thing is speed.

There are loose farmlands on the left and right. The war horse will inevitably lose speed if it rushes out, and may even stumble as a result. Therefore, Guo Pu's current choice is undoubtedly the most correct. However, it was wrong at the beginning, and it will be correct later. What about the choice?

Guo Pu shouted wildly: "Accelerate! Accelerate! Frontal arrow array! Inner diffuse!" Guo Pu now couldn't care about the cavalry behind him, and he didn't even have time to think about why the Yellow Turban Army suddenly appeared in the blink of an eye. With so many cavalry coming, the situation is critical, so we have no choice but to rush forward! Only then can there be a way out!

After all, the Xiliang cavalry had been used to fighting Qiang and Hu for many years. Although they were somewhat panicked as they were attacked from both sides, under Guo Pu's order, they still formed a charging formation, forming a sharp arrow and fiercely moving forward. rush……

Five hundred steps, three hundred steps, two hundred steps...

The beating of the heart seems to be consistent with the sound of horse hooves, getting faster and faster, pumping blood to the whole body...

One hundred and fifty steps! Even the faces of the people on the opposite side could be seen clearly. The generals of both sides shouted almost at the same time, and heard thousands of war bows gathered together to make a huge "buzz--" sound. It seemed that in an instant, both sides appeared on their heads. A black mass of wasps...

Guo Pu shouted: "Raise your shield!"

The Xiliang soldier thrust his bow into his side bag, picked up the shield hanging on the horse's side, shrank his body, and hid his head and torso under the shield. As for the exposed legs, feet and horse, Not on.

Guo Pu hid under the shield and looked through the edge of the shield. He actually saw that the cavalry on the opposite side was avoiding the arrows by splitting to the left and right in an instant, as if his originally thin body suddenly turned into a big fat man. generally……

Guo Pu's eyes suddenly opened wide——

This damn guy is not a Yellow Turban, he’s a barbarian!

It's a pity that there is no time for Guo Pu to think about anything anymore. The two cavalry collided with each other with a crash!

Guo Pu shouted with all his strength, his voice cords were torn from the roar: "It's a barbarian! Disperse the front arrows! Disperse the front arrows!" But it was too late...

The soldiers have been completely strangled together, so is there any way to change the overall large arrow formation into a small front arrow formation more suitable for dealing with the barbarian cavalry?

Because of their superior riding skills, the Hu people can easily gather and disperse. Therefore, the Han cavalry can only have small front arrow formations between complete integration and total dispersion, which can have impact and attack power without being too concentrated. As a result, the cavalry in the middle was completely unable to use its strength and suffered the damage from the barbarian projectiles...

With the blessing of Han soldiers and armor, the Hundred Southern Huns are obviously much stronger, and some stray arrows can no longer do much damage to them. Unlike before without armor, no matter which arrow is hit, they can only use their flesh and blood. anti.

The more tenacious Southern Xiongnu successfully held back Guo Pu's pace. After the large front arrow array lost its sharpness and had no time to disperse, it turned into a fragrant round cake...

Yu Fuluo, who followed closely behind, showed a cruel smile and raised his sword: "Hold the plow! The God of China is looking after us! Kill them all!"

"Oh ho ho..."

Four hundred Hun cavalry who had changed into Han armor spontaneously formed three attack formations and stabbed into Guo Pu's "big flour cake"...

Guo Pu shouted angrily, partly because his carelessness led to the current situation, and partly because he realized that the so-called Yellow Turban Thief was a trap!

The most important thing is that there are Han people behind this trap!

Otherwise, how can we explain the iron armor on these barbarians and the ring-headed knives in their hands?

Guo Pu would not feel aggrieved if he died at the hands of a barbarian, but if he was obviously stabbed in the back by his own people like this, Guo Pu could not restrain his anger!

"The rear formation immediately turns around and cuts off the rear! The forwards attack on both sides! Get out of the way!" Guo Pu directed the cavalry behind him to turn around and intercept the cavalry rushing from behind as much as possible. At the same time, he ordered the cavalry stuck in front to go as far as possible Expand the left and right sides to make way for the cavalry blocked in the middle to charge out!

Being stuck in the middle is the only way to die!

Only by increasing your speed and rushing out can you have any hope of survival!

A Xiliang cavalryman rushed his horse to the side with all his strength. Although there were fields not far from both sides of the road, and the horses would definitely be dragged down by the soft soil when they got there, and they might even fall down, they still rushed out without hesitation.

Unlike Guopu, who were all armored cavalry, the Southern Xiongnu had light armored soldiers on both wings, or even unarmored soldiers, so the overall weight was much lighter than that of the Xiliang Army, and the horseshoes sank into the mud to a greater extent than the Xiliang Army. Much less…

The horses of the Xiliang soldiers on both sides ran slower and slower, but the Huns cavalry could barely run. In comparison, the Xiliang soldiers suffered a big loss and became the fixed targets of the Huns. One shot off the horse...

The sacrifice of the Xiliang cavalry gave a little space to the cavalry trapped in the middle. Before the Huns soldiers behind them gathered together, Guo Pu took the lead and charged forward with his guards!

Guo Pu cut off the horse of the Southern Huns cavalry who rushed in front of him with one knife. He bent down to avoid the knife from the side. Then he swung the knife horizontally and used the speed of the horse to slice through another Huns soldier coming from the side. His waist and abdomen, ignoring the blood splattered on his face, he rushed forward with a dull head!

Suddenly, Guo Pu felt his eyes light up. He actually broke through the Huns' intercepting cavalry!

But this joy of survival only lasted for a short moment. Guo Pu saw a phalanx of infantry wearing Han armor lying across a hundred steps ahead!

Spears are like a forest, shields are like a wall, and there are rows of crossbowmen behind them who are already raising their crossbows...

In the middle of the formation, a man who looked like a general raised his hand high, and then dropped it violently!

"Raise your shield..." Guo Pu shouted heartbreakingly.

Unfortunately, it was already too late. The crossbow arrows were coming as densely as locusts. Even raising a shield was of no use. What's more, many Xiliang soldiers failed to react in their haste...

"...Ahem...Bian Bian, my ancestor..." Guo Pu looked down at the crossbow bolt pierced in his chest, used up his last bit of strength, shouted angrily, and threw the sword forward. …

The ring-shou knife flying in the air rolled several times and stuck to the ground with a "ding" sound. A trace of blood flowed from the handle along the back of the knife, just like the traces of tears...

I don’t want to write a joke in this chapter…

Too many Chinese people died at the hands of their own people...
