The spirited young man Dong Huang received Liu Bei's order, cheered up, led a thousand cavalry from the front army to attack, and faced the rebel cavalry assault formation head-on.
The Liangzhou rebel cavalry originally planned to attack Dong Zhuo's left-wing cavalry. However, due to Zhang Wen's timely deployment of troops, the rebel cavalry also noticed the movements of Liu Bei's five thousand elite cavalry and immediately gave up the attack. Dong Zhuo's left wing turned to attack Liu Bei.
Dong Zhuo, who was quite worried in the army formation, learned of this movement immediately, and learned that the man leading the attack to cover his left flank was Liu Bei himself.
He was quite emotional.
"It is said that the son of a rich man cannot sit in court. Liu Xuande, with his status, is actually willing to take the initiative to lead troops to attack. How brave he is."
He sighed with emotion, and the thousand fine cavalry led by Dong Huang were also facing the rebel cavalry. The two sides immediately started a fight between the cavalry, and in this fight, the Han army clearly had the advantage.
The reason is simple. The armor of the Han cavalry is more sophisticated.
Before the attack, Liu Bei used his connections to equip the subordinates under his command with sufficiently sophisticated cavalry armor, so that the cavalry under his command had sufficient protection.
Among them, the war horses belonging to the officers and the elite personal guards directly under the officers even have special horse armor equipment to protect the war horses from the rebel bows and arrows.
A pair of well-forged armor is tantamount to a second life on the battlefield for a soldier, and for a commander, armor is a top priority.
Liu Bei's armor directly armed him to the teeth. His whole body was tightly wrapped, and his vital parts were specially reinforced. Generally, weapons such as the Huanshou Dao and the Han Sword were impossible to break through.
Unless someone hits his body or head hard with a blunt instrument such as a heavy hammer or axe, it is possible to kill him. Otherwise, even if the crossbow fires at Liu Bei, it will only kill him unless it hits his eyes. Hurt him and it's almost impossible to kill him.
The prerequisite for all this is that all the personal guards around Liu Bei have been killed in battle.
Although other soldiers under Liu Bei's command did not have such a level of protection, their vital points were still well protected, which gave them the confidence to fight the Liangzhou rebels head-on.
In contrast, the Liangzhou rebels generally lack war protective gear. Excellent war protective gear is only available to generals, officers and their personal guards. It is good for ordinary soldiers to have a leather armor. Many people There is no armor either.
From this point of view, the armor wearing rate of the Liangzhou rebels is their major shortcoming. However, in contrast, the overall armor wearing rate of the Han army is not very high, and there are still many defective products given to some no-name brands. In the army, Liu Bei received special treatment due to special care.
With such good special treatment, how could Dong Huang not kill everyone?
He led his cavalry forward without hesitation. Before the full-scale contact, there was a customary exchange of bows and crossbows. The Han army with higher armor ratio obviously had an advantage, not to mention that the horses of Dong Huang and his bodyguards were protected by horse armor. Has stronger protective power.
So after a burst of shooting, the Han army had the advantage, but the rebels were knocked upside down by the Han army's crossbows.
After the first round of fighting, it was the second round of close combat.
Many of the 5,000 elite cavalry commanded by Liu Bei are professional cavalrymen. They have strong combat effectiveness on horseback and can be called surprise cavalry.
They were either holding spears, halberds, or holding Huanshou swords, Han swords, etc., and they plunged into the enemy troops and rushed through them. They were extremely brave. They overturned many rebel cavalry in one encounter, and the impact continued. Keep moving forward.
When Dong Huang saw a rebel dressed like an officer, he roared and charged forward with a spear. The guards around him charged with him, killing gods and Buddhas along the way, moving forward inexorably.
The rebel officer was obviously caught off guard. The bodyguards around him were killed. Dong Huang's troops who were approaching were scattered. After a period of chaos with people on their backs and horses flying, Dong Huang roared and knocked the rebel officer off his horse with a spear. Defeated this rebel cavalry detachment.
Seeing that Dong Huang had achieved a decisive victory, and seeing cavalry coming to fight from the main rebel formation, Liu Bei immediately ordered Zhang Fei to attack, asking Zhang Fei to lead his cavalry to immediately support Dong Huang, and together with Dong Huang, push the opponent's cavalry back. push.
Zhang Fei was an activist who was worried about the world being in chaos. He had been looking forward to this attack for a long time. He felt very unhappy when Dong Huang was the first to attack. He thought he should be the first.
But it's not bad. After enduring it until now, he can finally release himself.
"rush!!!!!!"
He roared into the sky with his broken gong voice, and like a tiger descending from the mountain, he led his cavalry to launch an attack bravely, with a strong tendency to march forward into the formation.
The rebel cavalry was attacked by Zhang Fei and Dong Huang. For a moment, they were on their backs. Seeing that the second wave of cavalry attacking from the front was about to be defeated by the Han cavalry, this situation made it difficult for the person responsible for commanding this army to Li Wenhou who was fighting was very surprised.
"There are actually such brave men among the Han army?"
Li Wenhou felt that if he did not launch an all-out attack immediately and continue to fight like this, sooner or later all his cavalry would be wiped out in a wave.
So Li Wenhou ordered all the cavalry under his command to get into attack formation and prepare to attack.
This scene was discovered by the Han army command system who climbed high and looked far away, and quickly conveyed it to the coach Zhang Wen. Zhang Wen immediately made a judgment and immediately informed Liu Bei on the front line of the matter.
After Liu Bei learned of this situation, he immediately ordered all the cavalry in his headquarters to put into attack formation, with Guan Yu and Sun Jian as the double arrows, Xia Houyuan and Xia Houdun followed closely, and the bodyguard cavalry led by himself and Zhen Yan were in the final sequence of the attack. .
Sun Jian and his Jiangdong men were very excited when they faced the murderous atmosphere from Liangzhou for the first time. They made up their minds to give the Jiangdong people a face in front of Liu Bei, and let Liu Bei know that the Jiangdong people were equally brave and fearless in terms of combat effectiveness.
The warriors who could follow Xiang Yu in a last-ditch battle are still there!
Liu Bei gave the order, and Guan Yu and Sun Jian each led their own cavalry to charge. The two scrambled for the lead, as if they were worried that the other would be able to outrun them and make great achievements. They pushed their horses hard and rushed forward.
At that time, Zhang Fei and Dong Huang were already furious, and their cavalry were also furious. They rushed towards the main force of Li Wenhou's cavalry and started a head-on confrontation with them. Li Wenhou's cavalry could only rely on strength in numbers. All the troops can stop the Han cavalry's advance.
When Guan Yu and Sun Jian each led their cavalry to join the battle group, the balance of victory gradually tilted towards the Han army.
Needless to say, Dong Huang successfully picked and killed a rebel general. The fight lasted for a long time. The people he had already killed were bloody men and horses. He didn’t know whether it was the enemy’s blood or his own blood. He continued with bloodshot eyes. Fighting like a god of death.
Needless to say, Zhang Fei was a mad man on the battlefield who was afraid of chaos in the world. As soon as he entered the battlefield, he turned on some kind of switch and rushed to kill without mercy. The cavalry around him had to rush desperately in order to keep up with his progress. Move your horse to avoid losing track.
Sun Jian usually seemed calm, but when he went to the battlefield, he also exploded with great impact. The Jiangdong soldiers seemed to be possessed by an overlord, fighting bloody battles with the Liangzhou cavalry, thrusting with spears, and slashing with swords. Cut, fight extremely bravely.
Among the four generals who charged into the battle, only Guan Yu remained calm. He had been observing where Li Wenhou was and where the general's flag belonging to Li Wenhou was.
He made a promise to Liu Bei that he would behead a traitor general for Liu Bei. Liu Bei was watching him and he had to do it.
