Chapter 1897
Just now in the jungle, the heavy cavalry did not play a role. You can imagine the depression in Cao Chun's heart. Now that Jiangdong's army wants to leave, how can Cao Chun let Jiangdong's army succeed? He led the heavy cavalry to kill them without hesitation.
Facing Cao Jun's pursuit, Cheng Pu looked a little solemn. He had already sent two groups of soldiers to block Cao Jun's heavy cavalry, but it still failed to have much effect. The momentum of the heavy cavalry charging on the battlefield was too shocking.
Seeing the performance of Jiangdong Army, Cao Chun laughed endlessly. Such an army dared to confront his own army. The performance of Jiangdong Army when facing the charge of heavy cavalry greatly boosted Cao Chun's confidence.
However, when faced with Cao Chun's pursuit, Cheng Pu did not just run away, but kept causing some trouble for Cao Chun on the way. He secretly ordered the soldiers to set up trip ropes, which forced the heavy cavalry to slow down.
They have great power when charging, but when the horse beneath them loses control, you can imagine what the cavalry will face.
Cheng Pu's behavior also completely angered Cao Chun. With constant delays, the infantry in the army had already caught up with him.
Kill! Cao Chun waved the long knife in his hand and shouted.
At this moment, Cao Chun suddenly felt that something was wrong with the war horse under him. The speed of the war horse under him was constantly slowing down. Looking down, Cao Chun was shocked, but saw that the place where the war horse passed by left a deep mark.
There are deep hoof prints, and a war horse will naturally walk extremely slowly in such places.
Everyone stopped. Cao Chun shouted, he felt something was wrong from this terrain. The soldiers of the Jiangdong Army had no problem walking on it, but when the heavy cavalry passed by, the speed was slowed down. The heavy cavalry was on the battlefield.
Cao Chun can imagine what kind of situation he will face after losing his speed.
At this moment, Jiangdong's army, which had been fleeing just now, was led by Cheng Pu and charged towards Cao's army. The rumble of war drums sounded on both sides. There were five thousand Jiangdong's army, accompanied by the sound of war drums.
, came to kill Cao Jun.
Cao Chun was anxious. If he encountered these enemy troops at ordinary times, he would have enough confidence to win even if he only had 500 heavy cavalry in hand. However, the speed of his heavy cavalry was now greatly restricted, and the Jiangdong Army
Obviously they won't be allowed to leave this area so easily.
Kill the enemy! Cao Chun ordered.
The speed of war horses is slowed down on such terrain, and ordinary soldiers can still catch up if they run hard. In this way, the power of heavy cavalry on the battlefield is greatly weakened, and the cavalry on war horses, although they are protected by armor,
, but from time to time he was picked off by the spearmen of Jiangdong Army, and screams kept coming and going.
Cao Chun was gnashing his teeth in anger. After Cao Jun's pursuers arrived, he supported Cao Chun and fought a battle before escaping from the siege of Jiangdong Army. There were three thousand Cao Jun troops when they came, but now there are only more than a thousand people left, and six soldiers were lost.
So much success.
Listening to the shouts from the Jiangdong Army behind him, Cao Chun became even more depressed. His own troops originally had the advantage, but he did not expect that the Jiangdong Army had set up an ambush. The chosen terrain still made it difficult for the heavy cavalry to move quickly.
The place to move forward.
Among them, the heavy cavalry lost 400 people.
After Cao Ren learned about the situation on the battlefield, his face was gloomy. Three thousand troops chased Jiangdong's army, but they lost two thousand people. The Huben army lost 400 people. What kind of status does the Huben army have among the army? Cao Ren
But it is clear that heavy cavalry is the key to victory or defeat on the battlefield.
General, this is the fault of the last general. The last general will apologize to the lord. Cao Chun said with a red face.
Cao Ren shook his head and said: This general is also at fault. If he had been more cautious, he would not have allowed Jiangdong's army to succeed so easily. It is a pity that the four hundred tiger and warrior warriors were lost on the battlefield.
Cao Chun gritted his teeth and said: Jiangdong's army is so shameless. If they meet on the battlefield in the future, they will definitely be killed without leaving any trace of their armor. They are using such shameless methods.
This time it must be Zhou Yu's plan. Cao Ren said slowly.
Cao Ren hurriedly dispatched fast horses to inform the army of this matter, but Cao Chun's defeat did not affect the advance of the army. However, the army was much more cautious during the march.
This victory of Jiangdong Army made the morale of the army high. Cao Jun's heavy cavalry was an existence that Jiangdong Army was extremely afraid of. However, Jiangdong Army did not have heavy cavalry, which was a huge disadvantage. After all, Jiangdong Army was best at water warfare.
, and in this battle, nearly 300 Cao Jun's war horses were captured. These war horses were not comparable to ordinary war horses, and they were more capable of bearing such a weight. The war horses in the heavy cavalry were all extremely sophisticated, and ordinary war horses could not even compete with them.
Difficult to complete.
Zhou Yu sent a fast ship to Jiangdong to win the victory, and at the same time ordered Cheng Pu to lead 5,000 troops to guard Anliu.
This was the first victory against Cao Jun. Lu Su could feel the excitement of the generals in the army. This kind of strategy was mainly caused by the fact that Cao Jun's generals were not familiar with the terrain of Jiangxia. They did not know where suitable for heavy cavalry.
Charge, which resulted in considerable losses.
On the way to Anlu when Cao Ren led his troops, the army was no longer as relaxed as before. Nearly two thousand people were lost in the first battle, which was a big blow to the vanguard army.
After spending a lot of effort, Cao Ren finally arrived outside Anlu City and ordered the army to station outside the city. Cao Ren led 500 heavy cavalry to fight. The morale of the army was a bit low. If they could win in the fight, they would definitely win.
can play a huge role.
Facing Cao Ren's challenge, Cheng Pu was unwilling to be outdone and led 500 cavalry to fight.
When Cao Ren saw this scene, he was overjoyed. After defeating the Jiangdong Army's cavalry, the morale of the army would be greatly improved.
Cao Ren's idea was naturally good, but Cao Ren ignored that the speed of heavy cavalry when charging was difficult to compare with that of ordinary cavalry. Even if the cavalry in the Huben Army used excellent war horses, it would be difficult to change this fact.
Naturally, Cheng Pu would not confront Cao Ren's heavy cavalry head-on. His purpose was to give Jiangdong Army greater confidence when facing the heavy cavalry. Relying on the speed of the cavalry, Cheng Pu continued to deal with Cao Ren on the battlefield, and followed Cao Ren.
Cheng Pu's five hundred cavalrymen were all good at riding and shooting, and they kept raining arrows on the heavy cavalry.
Although the armor on his body protected the heavy cavalry, under the continuous rain of arrows, some of the heavy cavalry still fell off their horses.
When Cao Ren saw this scene, he was very angry. The most elite cavalry in the army was teased by the Jiangdong Army's cavalry.
