Chapter 336 War Horse War Horse!
Half of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry had already fought with the city management army, and Hu Cheer joined the battlefield with the rest. At this moment, the entire battlefield was filled with corpses and blood flowed into a river. Liu Mang now had less than a thousand people in his hands, and the remaining one thousand city management soldiers had closed their eyes forever, but the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was not much better. Now there are more than two thousand Western Iron Cavalry who died in battle, and nearly a thousand people were seriously injured and unable to participate in the battle. It can be said that if Liu Mang really duels with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, Liu Mang won the battle.
Although there were less than a thousand people left in the city management army, the Xuanwu battle formation they formed had become more and more stable because there were fewer places to defend, so that these thousand soldiers could use their strength together. There were also the corpses of the soldiers who died in battle. Even if they died, they had to guard the front line. With these corpses in the Western Liang Iron Cavalry's speed was temporarily suspended.
"Follow me!" Hu Cheer knew that the frontal battlefield could not be taken down. He had already been killed in half of the battle. If he continued like this, he would suffer heavy casualties. If he couldn't, then go to the side, the cavalry had high mobility. If he didn't need it, wouldn't it be a waste! Qianjun and the central army were surrounded, but the rear army was still in Hu Cheer's hands, and bypassed the turtle shell and attacked the crossbow team behind it from the flank.
The front and central troops can just delay this Xuanwu battle formation.
The combat quality of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is really high. As soon as Hu Cheer called out, thousands of Xiliang Iron Cavalry in the rear army turned their horses' heads directly. They could turn around under high-speed charges, and this was done in one go. This is what the elite cavalry troops should have!
"Where do you want to go?!" Liu Ye stood in the crossbow formation and watched Hu Che'er's movements in the rear army. There were nearly two thousand people in the rear army, which had to make Liu Ye confused. He had to pay attention to the movements of these Western Liang cavalry. His crossbow formation was fragile, let alone two thousand people. Even if two hundred Western Liang cavalry charge to his crossbow formation, then the entire fifty crossbows would not be enough for the enemy to charge.
"Military advisors want to escape?" asked the thousand generals of the urban management army next to him. He had cooperated with Liu Ye more than once. In Shouchun, the test launch of the bed crossbow in the industrial zone was the responsibility of these urban management army soldiers.
"Escape? Impossible!" Liu Ye shook his head. Hu Cheer could not escape. If he escaped, he would definitely die. He and Liu Mang issued a challenge letter, which said that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is a villain, not as good as the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, which could only defeat the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry by sneak attack. It can be said that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry has been belittled to be worthless. If Hu Cheer wins this time, it would be fine, but if he is defeated! Then it really confirms the rumor that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is a waste, with Zhang Xiu's good face.
If Hu Cheer is cut into pieces, there will be ghosts. Moreover, there are central and front-line troops of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry. He can afford to lose these troops! If he chooses to continue fighting, he still has a way out, because as long as he wins and gets Liu Mang's head, even if the Western Liang Iron Cavalry is lost, he can speak in front of Zhang Xiu, because after all, he can help Zhang Xiu breathe a sigh of relief. Moreover, there are a lot of spoils in front of him, and the first is Liu Mang's head.
This thing is worth ten thousand gold, and I will be happy to give him to Liu Bei! With Liu Mang's head, it can be said that Shouchun can be taken down and the Battle of Lujiang was half won. The second is the heavy armor on these city management troops! The quality of these heavy armors was seen. There are 2,500 heavy armors here. After getting these heavy armors, he can definitely form a more elite Xiliang Iron Cavalry. He lacks war horses and buys the gold exchanged for Liu Mang's heads. As for cavalry! The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is not a division formed by the pure Han people such as Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry or White Horse Congyi. They don't care whether they are Han people in the army, so as long as they arrive in Xiliang, basically the Qiang people will ride war horses, and after training a little, they will be good cavalry.
The third and very valuable thing is those crossbows! Hu Cheer has already realized the power of this crossbow twice, and each time it caused heavy losses to the Western Liang Iron Cavalry. As long as you get these crossbows and take them back to make them, Zhang Xiu's strength can be improved by a whole level! These crossbows Liu Mang sold to Sun Ce in Jiangdong and Liu Biao in Jingzhou, which were tens of thousands of gold. Cao Cao was still unavailable. That was the previous crossbow. The current revised version even increased the strength of the crossbows. Is he afraid that his lord Zhang Xiu would blame him if he got these!
"Flange attack!" Hu Cheer waved the sword in his hand. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry, who had a two thousand turning around, finally showed their target. He wanted to attack from the flange. There were five thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry dragging the city management army soldiers on the front. With these two thousand people going around from the flange, they could naturally avoid the front of the city management army and rely on the cavalry's mobility to directly attack the bed crossbow battle formation when the city management army did not react. In this way, they could turn defeat into victory.
"No!" Liu Ye was a little surprised. Hu Cheer really couldn't underestimate him. He was willing to use the large army to attract the attention of the urban management army and use heavy casualties to exchange for a battle to determine the world. He was really a cruel person. Now the center of the urban management army is focused on eliminating the five thousand Western Liang cavalry, and he could not take care of the bed crossbow battle formation behind him. The cavalry's mobility is too strong. When the urban management army reacts, the bed crossbow battle formation will be almost wiped out!
"Don't worry, military advisor!" Just as Liu Ye was about to let the crossbow retreat, the thousand generals of the city management army beside said to Liu Ye, "My lord has taken this into consideration!" Liu Mang noticed when he looked at the terrain before that although his Xuanwu battle formation and his city management army soldiers were elite, they could burst out with great combat power, but don't forget that Liu Mang now only has two thousand city management soldiers. His number is Liu Mang's biggest shortcoming, and he has to face eight thousand.
The Western Liang Iron Cavalry is four times his enemy. No matter how strong Liu Mang is, it is already the ultimate to hold up to five thousand soldiers and horses. But for the remaining three thousand people, these three thousand soldiers have become the most troublesome thing for Liu Mang. Although Hu Cheer does not have three thousand soldiers and horses in his hands, there are still two thousand. The strength of the two thousand heavy armored Iron Cavalry cannot be underestimated! After thinking about it, Liu Mang finally decided to disperse his crossbow part and place it, which is the current crossfire point.
"Hmm?!" Liu Ye finally noticed. Liu Mang divided the crossbow troops into three waves. The first round of crossbows placed in the middle was to prevent the enemy from breaking through the defense line. This was a shocking power higher than the combat power. The second and third waves on both sides showed an arc. The flanks of almost forty crossbows were Liu Mang, who was in case of Hu Cheer, would divide his troops to attack the flanks.
Don't turn, just flank crossbows, transform the target from the frontal enemy to the charger of the flank enemy.
"Aim, shoot!" Under the roar of several hundred generals on the side, twenty flanked crossbows began to roar. The giant arrows on the crossbows suddenly shot out. The pressure on the central army and the front army was reduced, but Hu Cheer's rear army was in trouble.
The first one was the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in the front three rows shot directly and killed them on the spot. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry behind them was not very lucky. They were blocked by the dead bodies in front and their speed could not help but slow down. As soon as the speed slowed down, the crossbow was shot by another wave of arrows. They took away another wave of Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
"Damn it!" Hu Cheer was not injured under the cover of the rear guards, but he couldn't stand this aggrievance.
"Shrink the defense line!" Liu Mang and the others also noticed the situation on the flanks here, quickly stopped fighting and retreating, approaching the crossbow battle formation. Hu Cheer lost 500 people, and then realized that he had no chance again. Instead, he attacked the flanks and brought the rear army in. Now Hu Cheer's seven thousand army was completely intertwined with Liu Mang's urban management army. It is impossible to escape from the established system.
"Okay, okay. OK! This time you either die, or I die!" Hu Cheer's ferocity also rose. Although he suffered heavy losses, he still had thousands of Western Liang Iron Cavalry. As for Liu Mang, two thousand soldiers and horses can fight now. As long as he eliminated the city management army in front of him, even if there were five Western Liang Iron Cavalry to replace one, Hu Cheer could afford it.
"Kill, kill, kill! Brothers, we have no way out. Those who kill the fake king Liu Mang will be promoted to the third level, and reward a thousand gold coins. Those who kill one enemy will be rewarded with a hundred coins!" Hu Cheer used his money to impress his soldiers.
The cavalry of Xiliang was furious. Liu Ye looked at the trapped beasts in front of him coldly. He was not the cavalry of the cavalry of Xiliang, but the war horses of these cavalry of Xiliang! He knew that his lord wanted to form a white horse Congyi for a long time. It was easy to find cavalry people, but it was hard to find war horses! Lujiang, Yangzhou, is located in the Central Plains, and it is difficult to buy war horses. Now the horses are Hebei and Liaodong. Xiliang is already in chaos and can hardly be bought. Although Hebei is going to change its owner now, Cao Cao is even more reluctant to leave the war horses than his former owner Yuan Shao. Liaodong and Liu Mang have no sea port now and can't buy them at all. A good horse in the black market costs 100 gold, and Liu Mang can't afford to buy it. If you want to form a white horse Congyi, you need five thousand war horses. Five thousand war horses are calculated to be 100,000 gold, who can afford it!
Now the war horse that Liu Mang wanted was coming. In front of him, there were 8,000 Western Liang Iron Cavalry. Although many of the war horses were shot and killed by crossbows, many of them were left behind. If they could take down the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, there might be at least thousands of war horses. Liu Ye's eyes were hot, but his heart was as quiet as water, because this was too risky, because the Western Liang Iron Cavalry was already fighting for his life, and one might be able to be turned over.
However, thinking about the importance of the heavy armored cavalry in the future, Liu Ye still gritted his teeth. If there was an army like the Bingzhou wolf cavalry in Yangzhou, why would the battle situation in Yangzhou be like this? Just talk about high mobility and thousands of heavy armored cavalry, the military rations of Ruyin could be transported away by Liu Bei! With five thousand heavy armored cavalry, Xu Shu could now be replaced by another one, let Zhao Yun wander outside Shouchun with the cavalry, Xu Shu led the infantry to guard Shouchun. If Liu Bei's army attacked Zhao Yun's cavalry, then Xu Shu could attack the back of Liu Bei's army. If Liu Bei chose to attack the city, then five thousand heavy armored cavalry wandered outside. This was a terrifying scene. Liu Bei would be attacked from both sides.
"Fight!" Liu Ye suddenly issued an order, "All the crossbows raised the crossbow bed and shot high! The target local cavalry!" Liu Ye chose to shoot people and not shoot horses, which was difficult to achieve, because war horses were bigger than cavalry. Previously, the crossbow could cause such great damage, and more than half of them shot the horses, which made the horses fall on the ground and trampled on the ground and die by the cavalry behind them. Now, if only the cavalry shoots the crossbow, the power of the crossbow will be half smaller.
"Military advisor, you?!" The thousand people in the city management army on the side didn't understand. Now they should be thinking about how to wipe out the Xiliang Iron Cavalry instead of the war horses! In this way, the lord's troops will bear a great threat. The current urban management army is almost unable to bear it, so they put pressure on them. Isn't this the lord in a dangerous place?
"The lord will understand Ye's painstaking efforts!" Liu Ye Ranran said to himself. This is a chaotic world that we cannot only see in front of us, but also in the future. Not to mention that Liu Mang needs war horses to form a white horse to conquer Yi, even if the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry returns to build a new building, war horses are still needed. War horses cannot be bought with money.
"Wei Yan obeyed the order!" Liu Ye suddenly shouted to the thousand generals of the city management army beside him.
"The last general is here!" Yes, the thousand generals who had been standing beside Liu Ye were Wei Yan. Wei Yan captured Sun Qian from Ruyin City. He also saw through Sun Qian's empty city plan and obtained a lot of military achievements. Liu Mang wanted to polish Wei Yan, but he didn't just beat Wei Yan to death. This promoted Wei Yan to an official position. Now he was a thousand generals of the city management army. When Wei Yan heard Liu Ye's shout, he immediately clasped his fists at Liu Ye and said, "Wei Yan, I order you. Here are 100 soldiers responsible for the launch of the bed crossbows, and the remaining four hundred people, please bring me to support the lord!" Liu Ye said to Wei Yan, only one hundred people were left here to be responsible for the launch of those bed crossbows. Originally, the extra people were loading the bed crossbows and protecting the bed crossbows, but what Liu Ye needed were those war horses, so a set of magazines was enough. The remaining soldiers were drawn out by Liu Ye.
"Military advisor, you?!" Wei Yan was unwilling to accept the order, because the order Liu Mang gave Wei Yan was to protect the crossbow and Liu Ye. Even if all the crossbows were destroyed, Wei Yan died in battle, he still had to protect Liu Ye from harm. Didn't Wei Yan disobey the military order after leaving like this?
"Are you Wei Yan afraid of your lord? You are not afraid of me, Liu Ye!" Liu Ye said coldly at Wei Yan.
"This!" Wei Yan was really embarrassed. Violating Liu Mang was disobeying the military order. Liu Ye was the military advisor of the army. Liu Mang said that Liu Ye could interfere in everything in the army. Seeing Liu Ye was like seeing Liu Mang, so Liu Ye's order was also a military order, which made Wei Yan not know what to do. Disobeying orders in front of the army was a death sentence. Wei Yan was vivid in his mind about Liu Mang's murderous intent and casualness towards him! Wei Yan believed that once he violated the military order, Liu Mang would definitely kill him with one knife and would not hesitate at all, but disobeying Liu Ye would be a dead end!
"Go! Wen Chang, let me tell you where the lord!" Liu Ye looked at the blushing man in front of him. He also knew Wei Yan's dilemma. He finally got from a swordsman to the current general of a thousand people. Wei Yan didn't want to be lost again, and he was even safe!
"Me!" Wei Yan wanted to say something, but Liu Ye's words made Wei Yan lower his arrogant head and accept the order. "If you don't go, even if you win this battle, you will not be able to escape death!" Liu Ye was naked Wei Yan. Wei Yan was not a fool. He also understood Liu Ye's status in Liu Mang's army. Not to mention that Liu Ye and Liu Mang are relatives of the Han Dynasty, even if Liu Ye's wisdom made Wei Yan feel inferior. Liu Ye is the third person in Liu Mang's army, and he is even on par with Xu Shu. Moreover, Liu Ye is the most important thing in Liu Mang's army than in his army. Liu Ye can kill Wei Yan, and this Liu Ye can do it too!
"Brothers, when you make achievements, you are right in front of you. Follow me to fight and protect your lord!" Wei Yan gritted his teeth. He also knew that his current status was very low, but he was not discouraged. He was secretly ruthless in his heart. He must be at the same level as Liu Ye, and greatly improve his importance in Liu Mang's heart, so that he will not hand his life to others.
"Kill, kill, kill!" The four hundred city management soldiers on the side had already been holding back their anger. The soldiers who formed the Xuanwu battle formation in front were all their robes. These robes could be intersected with their lives. Now that the robes are dead in front of them, how could they not be angry? They had already come forward to fight, but because of the crossbow battle formation and Liu Ye, they could only watch it. Now that they were sent out by military advisor Liu Ye, they were naturally like a bunch of tigers going down the mountain. Wei Yan took the lead and stabbed into the body of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry like a sharp knife.
"I'm still standing there, why are you? The bed crossbow keeps stopping!" Liu Ye looked at Wei Yan very appreciatively. Although this person is a little more scheming, his martial arts are extremely superb. Moreover, this person can think and have ambition! It's not scary to have ambition, but the most terrifying thing is that he can't control his ambition, but Liu Ye believes that Liu Mang can control such a wolf.
Because of Liu Ye's order, the crossbow let go of the war horses and headed towards the cavalry, which led to a huge increase in the pressure on the city management army to confront the Western Liang Iron Cavalry.
"Zi Yang?!" The pressure in the battlefield doubled. As the main general, Liu Mang couldn't see it. Seeing that the bed crossbow was much smaller in terms of density and attack power, Liu Mang frowned. But then he smiled bitterly, "This Zi Yang really respects me!" How could Liu Mang not see that Liu Ye was paying attention to the Western Liang Iron Cavalry Horse. Liu Mang wanted it too, but that was to ensure the level of victory. Now the enemy is several times that of himself. If you are not careful, the entire army may be wiped out. But now Liu Ye has started, and Liu Mang can't change the military order. He can only bite and hold on.
"If you want my war horse, you have to see if you are here to get it!" Hu Cheer also gritted his teeth. He originally thought it was a chance to win, and even feared that there would be ambush. He had observed it carefully for so long, whether it was Liu Mang's provocation or the letters given by his lord, he suppressed it. He thought it was foolproof and the credit was in his pocket, but he was still plotted. These Han people just like to plot against people! Now they even had the idea of his Hu Cheer'er's war horse. This was completely despising Hu Cheer's rhythm, and this was to slap him in the face. They thought they would have to take over his Hu Cheer! This was a provocation to Hu Cheer. Also, for Hu Cheer, this was a good opportunity. His charge against Liu Mang was stronger, and Liu Mang was almost unable to withstand it!
No wonder, Liu Mang has only three personal guards left by his side now. The others will either die in battle or scatter in the chaos. Even Huang Zhong is under pressure in another direction of the Xuanwu battle formation. Although Hu Cheer suffered heavy casualties, his population base is large! He still has more than a dozen personal guards in his hands, and Hu Cheer's martial arts are not bad enough to immediately oppress Liu Mang.
"What a lot of strength!" Hu Che'er's heavy hammer came into contact with Liu Mang's huge shield. When the two of them were in contact, they felt silent at the same time. Hu Che'er was shocked that the strength in his hand was not bad, although it was not as good as Qianjun, but it was almost the same. Liu Mang was shocked that Hu Che'er quickly retracted the double hammers after the contact. This iron hammer was not light, but Hu Che'er stretched and contracted naturally, and was as heavy as this person could not underestimate him!
Che'er is the second most powerful general in Zhang Xiu's army, except Zhang Xiu. This person was praised by Cao Cao. Cao Cao also personally gave Hu Che'er gold as a reward. The most outstanding thing is to kill Dian Wei, the second most powerful general in the world. Although Dian Wei's martial arts skills are not as good as Lu Bu, they are not much worse. At least they can be on the same level as Huang Zhong and Sun Ce. Even if Dian Wei was drunk by Hu Che'er, Hu Che'er could kill this person, which shows how powerful Hu Che'er was.
"The pseudo-king is killed!" Hu Cheer was shocked, but his iron hammer was not relaxed at all. As long as he could kill Liu Mang, it would be considered that Hu Cheer won!
"You are the one who dies!" Liu Mang snorted coldly and greeted him. Although Hu Cheer was strong, Liu Mang had not lost his martial arts over the years. Now Liu Mang and Cheng Yu are not inferior in the battle. Even Lu Bu is shocked by his progress. Hu Cheer used a pair of iron hammers. Liu Mang had experience in fighting. Dong Xi of Sun Ce's army, Dong Xi was born with brute force. A pair of iron hammers can flatten people and heavy armor! The attack power of the iron hammer is nothing more than two swings. Liu Mang leaned on a giant shield for the time being.
But Liu Mang is not at all. The personal guards around him can resist several times of the enemy. After fighting for a while, several personal guards of Hu Cheer were killed, all three personal guards of the city management army were killed. Now Liu Mang is fighting a group of them, and one of them is Hu Cheer.
"Kill, kill, kill!" Several Western Liang cavalry next to him rushed towards Liu Mang. Liu Mang used the giant shield in his hand to take the attacks of the two, and used the edge of Kaifeng of the giant shield to send the two to the West. However, killing the two made Liu Mang stagger the Hu Cheer. He didn't notice that Hu Cheer's heavy hammer was approaching him.
"So fast!" Liu Mang didn't even know how this pair of hammers arrived in front of him. It was too late for Liu Mang to hide.
"Boom!" Liu Mang felt that his internal organs were rolling, and they were directly bombarded by Hu Cheer with one hammer, and landed heavily on the ground. Liu Mang's chest had been smashed and slapped. Fortunately, the structure of the Aries Saint Clothes was hard enough, and some blunt weapons were loaded with attacks, which made Liu Mang not directly killed by Hu Cheer with one hammer. However, Liu Mang was not feeling uncomfortable that a mouthful of blood could not help but sputtered out, and his whole face was pale, which obviously hurt his internal organs.
"Haha, the pseudo-king will die!" Hu Cheer's face increased greatly, and the war horse was difficult to exert in the Xuanwu battle formation. He simply abandoned the war horse and rushed towards Liu Mang.
"How could it be!" Liu Mang widened his eyes, unable to believe that this speed, this strength, and this Hu Cheer hidden his strength.
That's right, Hu Che'er did hide his strength when fighting against Liu Mang at the beginning. Although Liu Mang was strong and had reached the peak of second-rate, he was just a second-rate general after all, and his body was still in the stage of physical training. Hu Che'er was already a god-refining warrior, otherwise he would not have become the second strong general among Zhang Xiu. He was able to kill Dian Wei, but he was not just relying on alcohol, but also had his own strength.
The reason why he hid his strength before was that he was afraid that Liu Mang would retreat and avoid it. He was a god-refining warrior, but he was not sure that he would kill Liu Mang with one blow, so he could only hide his strength, making Liu Mang think that he could be too lazy to get off Hu Cheer. Even if he couldn't win the self-protection, it would be fine. Liu Mang really had this illusion, so he would fight Hu Cheer. Hu Cheer dragged Liu Mang to kill Liu Mang's personal guards, blocking Liu Mang's retreat, and it was impossible for Liu Mang to escape now, so Hu Cheer showed his original strength!
"Damn it!" Liu Mang really didn't expect that he was put on a trick by this Hu man. Who said that these foreign Hu people are barbarians, all with well-developed limbs and brainless people. The one in front of him is an alternative! Liu Mang was determined to kill Hu Cheer, but he was powerless, and even self-protection became a problem! Liu Mang wanted to pick up the giant shield next to him, but Hu Cheer directly smashed away with a hammer.
"Don't hurt my master!" Just as Liu Mang was struggling to stand up and survive with serious injuries, a loud shout came from behind, and a red-faced man rushed towards Hu Cheer with a sword.
Chapter completed!
