Chapter 997 Flying General’s Attack

"Hahaha, brothers, Marquis Wen is here!"

Zhang Liao couldn't help but burst out laughing. If five thousand cavalry were not a match for more than 40,000 Xianbei cavalry, then fifteen thousand were definitely enough!

One Han is like a Wuhu, and 15,000 Han cavalry are enough to rival 80,000 Hu'er!

"There is no need to retreat, the whole army attacks and breaks into the enemy's formation!"

Zhang Liao's original plan was to give the illusion of attacking the enemy's cavalry, and then suddenly retreat when the enemy was unprepared. This method is often used. The famous flying general Li Guang and the white horse general Gongsun Zan both used this tactic when their troops were smaller than the enemy's.

But now that Lu Bu's backup has arrived, there is no need to retreat. He can directly rush forward to fight and defeat these Xianbei people in one go!

"Kill!"

Tap tap tap!

More than 4,000 cavalrymen urged their horses with all their strength and rushed forward in a majestic manner. Everyone had an excited look on their face, wanting to show off to this group of Xianbei cavalry.

On the other hand, the Xianbei cavalry on the opposite side was clearly outnumbered and outnumbered by Zhang Liao's cavalry. However, their morale was not as good as Zhang Liao's army, and they hesitated in the face of Zhang Liao's army's attack.

boom!

Finally, Zhang Liao's cavalry crashed into the Xianbei cavalry formation in one go. The sharp front easily tore a hole in front of the enemy formation and broke into it.

More than four thousand cavalry swept through the Xianbei cavalry formation, charging and killing. The Bingzhou cavalry's morale soared due to the arrival of reinforcements, so they were invincible in the Xianbei cavalry formation, killing and injuring numerous Xianbei cavalrymen.

Zhang Liao took the initiative to rush into the Xianbei cavalry formation, and was naturally surrounded on all sides. There were densely packed Xianbei cavalry everywhere as far as he could see. The blade of the Huanglonggou sickle had been washed into dark red by blood.

When the Xianbei cavalry saw Zhang Liao's thousands of cavalry being so unscrupulous, they were naturally furious and gathered from all sides to besiege Zhang Liao's army. However, they lagged behind Zhang Liao's army in terms of equipment and morale, so they made little progress for the time being.

"Young men, charge forward! Let these Hunus know how powerful our Bingzhou sons are!"

Lu Bu roared and charged forward, while the ten thousand Bingzhou cavalry behind him shouted in unison, rushing up like a tsunami and charging towards the Xianbei cavalry in a mighty manner. The 10,000 Bingzhou cavalry sped up, preparing to forcefully break through the Xianbei cavalry from the outside and meet Zhang Liao.

"Chanyu! Let me go!" The hot-tempered Xie Guini pulled the reins and prepared to charge forward.

"no!"

Kebineng held Xie Guini, thought for a moment, frowned and said: "No more fighting, retreat."

"retreat?"

Xie Guini thought he heard wrongly and couldn't help but be surprised: "There are so many of us, why do we need to retreat?"

"Hmph, can you beat Lu Bu?"

Ke Bineng snorted: "We went south not to fight the Han army, but to grab the people and property and retreat. Why bother to fight to the death with the Han army?"

Since Duke Huan of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period, Qin general Meng Tian drove the Xiongnu to Hetao in the north, Wei Qing sealed the wolf in Xu, and Dou Xianyan strangled the stone, making Hu horses afraid to go south. Until the Wuhu chaos in China, these foreigners never dared to hope To be able to take over the Central Plains is just to grab some things from the Central Plains and run away.

Although Ke Bineng was tempted by Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang's description, it was impossible for him to fight to the end with the Han army. Otherwise, even if he defeated Lu Bu, his string control men would be exhausted, and in the end he would still lose.

Anyway, I brought a lot of cattle and sheep supplies, so I just spent them here with the Han army. I divided my troops and looted the surrounding areas, grabbed a few and left.

"The Chanyu has an order, retreat!"

After hearing this order, many commanders, commanders and Xianbei cavalry did not understand what was going on, but they had no choice but to follow Kebineng's order and retreat to the north.

"Don't let the enemy go, kill!"

However, Zhang Liao naturally could not remain indifferent. He led the more than 4,000 cavalry around him to seize the surrounding Xianbei cavalry and continue to charge.

At this time, Lu Bu's ten thousand cavalry finally rushed up and launched a fierce attack on the Xianbei cavalry without hesitation.

"Cao Xing and Wei Xu help Wen Yuan, Cheng Lian and Wei Yue come with me!"

Lu Bu shouted loudly and divided his cavalry into two parts. One part was led by generals Cao Xing and Wei Xu to help Zhang Liao attack the surrounding Xianbei cavalry, while Lu Bu led Cheng Lian and Wei Yue to attack the generals with great momentum. He chased after Ke Bineng.

Lu Bu is known as the Flying General, and he left a great reputation in northern Xinjiang back then. Now that he is fighting again, he is still as prestigious as before.

Cheng Lian and Wei Yue were both brave generals who followed Lu Bu. They were already very brave, and they were taught martial arts by Lu Bu personally. Naturally, they became even more brave and good at fighting. They killed the Xianbei people and fled in embarrassment, causing countless casualties.

Originally, the Xianbei people were attacked and killed by Zhang Liao's army before, and more than 3,000 Xianbei people were killed or injured, leaving 47,000 people left. However, he did not expect that Lu Bu would arrive in such timely manner. Kebineng did not dare to fight Lu Bu, so he led his army to retreat. However, Zhang Liao's army naturally would not let the enemy go, but entangled with the Xianbei cavalry. Lu Bu also led his army to kill some of them. Xianbei cavalry falling behind.

The 15,000 Bingzhou cavalry injured about a thousand people, while the Xianbei cavalry suffered more than 8,000 casualties before and after, with 42,000 cavalry remaining. In addition, they also obtained more than 3,000 cattle and sheep and 10,000 horses left by Kebineng. It can be said that the harvest was quite fruitful.

"Wenyuan, you did a good job, you greatly enhanced the power of our army!" Lu Bu patted Zhang Liao on the shoulder and praised.

"Marquis Wen is so complimentary." Zhang Liao said: "Now that all our troops have arrived, the enemy troops we have already killed in the first battle at Qiang Yin are devastated. It is better for our troops to take advantage of the situation and continue to fight out, defeating the enemy troops in one go!"

During the Warring States Period, Zhao She, a famous general of Zhao State, once said: When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win. Fighting is all about morale. Kebineng's army originally came with great momentum, but now its morale has been dampened by the Bingzhou army. Although it is still numerically superior, it is no longer fearful in Zhang Liao's eyes.

Lu Bu nodded approvingly: "That's very good. In the past, Wenyuan, you always told me to be cautious, but now I finally understand, haha."

Then Lu Bu ordered: "Eat and drink enough today, go to battle tomorrow and defeat Kebineng in one fell swoop!"

"Here!" All the generals in Bingzhou agreed in unison, gearing up and preparing to go to war tomorrow to show off their power.

"Report——"

At this moment, a rider suddenly galloped into the tent, jumped off his horse and ran to Lu Bu, shouting: "Marquis Wen! Xu Zhengbei asked Marquis Wen not to launch the final offensive against Kebineng for the time being, and to wait for three or five days." day."

"What?" Lu Bu couldn't help but frown when he heard this: "What new tricks does Gongming have?"
