Chapter 1992 Blocking the Enemy
It was mainly the retreat of the flying cavalry that gave Zhang Fei hope of victory. No general would give up the pursuit in such a situation. The main purpose of their ambush was to cause losses to the enemy.
Zhang Fei would not be satisfied with just scaring away the enemy troops.
It was precisely because of Zhang Fei's thoughts, which were just like those of an ordinary general, that the cavalry of the Yizhou Army paid a heavy price.
Not to mention that the cavalry led by Zhang Fei began to retreat under the attack of Fei Qi, Dian Wei led the cavalry towards the retreating Yizhou Army from another road. About half an hour later, Dian Wei saw the retreating Yizhou Army.
flag, with a smile on his lips.
Liu Bei, who was retreating, was only excited for a moment after learning that his own cavalry had repelled the flying cavalry. He received the news that more enemy cavalry were pursuing them again. His expression suddenly became much more solemn. If the cavalry of the Yizhou Army were chasing after them,
If the cavalry fought again, the Yizhou Army would suffer heavy losses. It was not that Liu Bei had no confidence in his own cavalry, but that the enemy's cavalry was simply too terrifying. Otherwise, why would Lu Bu have been able to dominate the battlefield for so many years?
Just when Liu Bei ordered the rear troops to strengthen their defense, billowing dust and smoke appeared in the rear. Under the dust and smoke, it was impossible to see the incoming flag.
"Lord, could it be that our cavalry retreated from the battlefield?" Jian Yong said.
Liu Bei nodded and said: "It's very possible, but I ordered the rear army to strengthen their defense and not give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of it."
It was Jian Yong's words that made the Yizhou Army pay a heavy price. When the infantry faced the cavalry, it was best to have some support. However, after Jian Yong's reminder, Liu Bei also subconsciously
I thought this was our own cavalry. After all, we had just received the news from the scouts not long ago, and the cavalry led by Zhang Fei was the closest to the Yizhou Army.
This cavalry was moving very fast and was getting closer and closer to the Yizhou Army.
Although Guan Yu was injured, he still insisted on riding, which was the pride of a military commander. However, he was almost shot by Lu Bu on the battlefield, which made Guan Yu extremely angry.
Guan Yu was on his horse, squinting at the cavalry who were still one mile away from the army. There was a big difference between the cavalry under Lu Bu's command and the cavalry of the Yizhou army. Whether it was the flags or the clothing of the soldiers, if the enemy's flying
If you ride it, it will be easier to identify. You only need to look at the pattern on the flag to know.
A breeze blew from the mountains, which dissipated a lot of the billowing dust and smoke when the cavalry charged. When Guan Yu saw the cavalry in the dust and smoke, he was shocked and shouted: "Get ready to meet the enemy, these are the enemy's cavalry!"
Liu Bei did not ask the reason and hurriedly ordered the soldiers in the army to prepare. Liu Bei knew very well how brave and skillful the enemy cavalry was. He did not want the Yizhou Army's cavalry to suffer huge losses in the face of the enemy's cavalry.
If this is the case, the Yizhou Army will be at a greater disadvantage in the subsequent defense.
An army will be vulnerable if it loses the power of cavalry. On the battlefield, they will be at a greater disadvantage. The role of cavalry is not only to collect intelligence, but also to fight against the enemy.
In some cases, flying cavalry appeared at the rear of the Yizhou Army, indicating that the cavalry led by Zhang Fei was in a bitter battle at this time.
After the battle at Fuguan, the cavalry of the Yizhou Army suffered considerable losses, and preserving the strength of the cavalry in hand became the main priority.
"Call the White-Er Soldiers to come forward and stop the enemy." Liu Bei ordered. At this time, among the infantry, the only ones who could compete with the cavalry were the White-Er Soldiers.
The war at Fuguan caused a lot of damage to the Bai'er elite soldiers, but their armors and weapons were the best among the Yizhou army, so they naturally had to take on more combat tasks. The Bai'er elite soldiers were from the Qiang tribe.
, what is important in battle is to be brave and not afraid of death. This is what Liu Bei admires most about the White-Er Soldiers. They will not be afraid when facing the war because of the losses they suffered on the battlefield.
At this time, there is only twenty miles away from Fucheng. If the Yizhou Army suffers losses again on the way to Fucheng, the situation will be even more unfavorable for the Yizhou Army.
Zhou Cang is Guan Yu's sword bearer and the lieutenant among Bai'er's elite soldiers. Zhou Cang also has excellent martial arts. In the past battlefields, Zhou Cang has proved this with his strong combat effectiveness. Guan Yu was injured, and he was
The time has come when Zhou Cang is needed.
Zhou Cang respected Guan Yu very much, so Guan Yu was injured by the enemy's secret arrow at Fuguan. You can imagine the anger in Zhou Cang's heart, and he wanted to avenge Guan Yu with the blood of the enemy.
The distance of one mile was reached in an instant for Fei Qi, and then Dian Wei saw the panicked rear of the Yizhou Army.
"Kill!" Dian Wei shouted.
The rear army was mostly infantry. They were unable to avoid the flying cavalry's charge. The battle at Fuguan made the Yizhou army extremely fearful of the army under the King of Jin's account. This emotion caused them to fight against the enemy.
When fighting in the army, it was difficult to bring out their usual combat effectiveness. Many infantrymen even hid aside when they saw the cavalry coming. They had lost their fighting spirit. At this time, their biggest wish was to return to Fucheng.
Dian Wei took the lead, and a soldier named Yizhou Army fell on the battlefield under his double halberds. The flying cavalry behind him was like a tiger descending from the mountain.
After the dust and smoke cleared, the flying eagle flag buzzed in the wind. The lifelike flying eagle flag put tremendous pressure on the Yizhou Army. After many soldiers saw the flag of the cavalry clearly, their first reaction was to flee instead of fighting.
The flying cavalry had fully proven their strength on the battlefield in Yizhou. Ma Chao's death in battle was enough to make the infantry of the Yizhou Army deepen their fear of the flying cavalry.
Once the soldiers in the army are in panic, you can imagine what the consequences will be when facing the charge of elite cavalry on the battlefield.
Wherever the flying cavalry went, the infantry all gave way. Looking from a distance, a black torrent directly tore apart the Yizhou Army's rear army.
After killing a general of the Yizhou Army with one blow, Dian Wei noticed the troops in front. They were infantry in heavy armor. From their flags, Dian Wei judged the identity of the enemy troops, White-Er Elite Soldiers.
It is the absolute elite force in the Yizhou Army.
This is obviously the most important blocking force of the Yizhou Army when facing the flying cavalry raid. As long as the Bai'er elite soldiers are defeated from the battlefield, the consequence will inevitably be the defeat of the enemy army.
In fact, when he saw the Yizhou Army facing his own charge, Dian Wei was secretly delighted because he initially did not respond much. Cavalry is the main force that determines the outcome of a war on the battlefield. The victory lies in surprise and strong maneuverability.
The enemy is unprepared, and the rest of the battle is much simpler.
