Everyone in the guards had long been accustomed to Liu Yu personally going into battle. In the eyes of these guards who had backgrounds as rangers and bandits, it seemed that only such a general was qualified.
Liu foresees that the enemies appearing in the distance are almost all cavalry. The distance is not too far, and there are basically a variety of flag formations. They are not the kind of horse thieves who don't even have a flag formation.
These Hulu cavalry were obviously quite terrifying in number, but they were just scattered and had no intention of attacking immediately. Liu expected that these enemies must be waiting for the follow-up infantry. When the enemy's infantry and cavalry attacked together, the Qingzhou Army, which was at a numerical disadvantage, I'm afraid it will be a little more troublesome.
Although the Qingzhou Army has established military soldiers, the training and equipment of the soldiers are no longer comparable to the common conscripts in the Western Jin Dynasty. However, after all, they are facing enemies several times their own. Who will be able to shake their will to fight? It’s hard to say.
Therefore, Liu Yu felt that these enemies must not be allowed to use their cavalry to cover the battlefield and calmly implement the coordination of infantry and cavalry.
At the very least, they must regain the momentum that was lost in the confrontation between the two sides just now. After all, in a face-to-face combat with cold weapons, morale always comes first.
Liu Yu ordered two guards to go back and give orders to the Qingzhou Army stationed in Qingyangyi, asking them to build camps with Juma and Luzhai as quickly as possible.
Then, Liu Yu shouted and led his guards to kill the Hulu cavalry on one side.
Cao Yi, who followed Liu Yu, saw all the guards shouting like madmen and followed him, and he had to follow closely.
Cao Yi galloped his horse and cursed in his heart. Liu Yu was completely crazy for doing this. Even though he had plenty of horse power and was not afraid of the enemy's cavalry, he only relied on a dozen cavalry to attack an army of tens of thousands. Even if you can kill a few enemies, what's the use?
The Hulu cavalry on the opposite side gave Cao Yi no chance to think wildly.
These Hu cavalry who had just expelled the Qingzhou Army scouts were quite proud of having driven back the Qingzhou Army scouts. They all felt that these Jin cavalry had little ability on horseback. However, before they could feel complacent for long, they discovered that there was a group of ten soldiers. Several cavalrymen were charging towards them.
If ordinary enemy cavalry were coming, these Hu people would have already drawn their bows and arrows and used the common tactic of running and shooting. However, when they saw that the number of Qingzhou cavalry in front of them was too small, they all began to underestimate the enemy. At the people's shouts, the surrounding barbarian cavalry quickly formed a formation, took out their long guns, spears and halberds, and prepared to immediately increase their horse speed to charge towards these Qingzhou cavalry.
However, just when these Hulu cavalry were preparing to charge into battle and win with numerical superiority, the Qingzhou Army cavalry on the opposite side suddenly circled a semicircle, and all went out to shoot at them with bows and arrows. In an instant, several Hulu cavalrymen were killed. Shouting to fall off the horse, although the arrow wound is hardly fatal, the subsequent stampede after falling off the horse is fatal.
When these Hu cavalry saw this, they were furious. They simply looked down on them, and used their best cavalry and archery to make a group of Hu cavalry suffer a slight setback.
Although the horses and strong bows of these Qingzhou cavalry made these barbarians quite afraid, the feeling of being played by a dozen cavalry still made these stubborn horse thieves arouse their murderous intentions, and they all chased after these Qingzhou cavalry. Chase.
However, because they had just expelled the Qingzhou scouts, the horses of these barbarians were already a little weak and could not catch up with the Qingzhou cavalry. Instead, they shot many more people.
A lot of men were lost in vain, and the Hulu leader was shocked and frightened. He hurriedly shouted a few nonsense words and led his men to turn around and want to retreat.
Liu Yu, who had already noticed their movements, immediately chased after them like a tarsal maggot.
In a moment, the situation reversed, and this time the Qingzhou cavalry became the pursuers.
In front of tens of thousands of Hulu cavalry, a dozen Qingzhou cavalry chased dozens of Hu cavalry and fled, and with the buzzing sound of bowstrings in the air, the Hu cavalry fell off their horses one after another.
All this is very damaging to morale.
The eyes of Hulu who were watching the battle were all filled with ferocious hatred.
"A bunch of trash."
When Wang Mi saw this, he cursed.
Why is there such a situation of more than a dozen people chasing and killing dozens of people?
Wang Mi knew that it was not only because the horses of these dozen Qingzhou soldiers were fast and powerful, but more importantly because these barbarians were accustomed to fighting with the wind, and these riders and horses were the treasures of their respective tribes. No one wants to die in vain. Now that the Qingzhou cavalry can't chase them away or catch up, there is basically nothing they can do except run back.
Liu Ling next to him had also seen the dozen or so arrogant Qingzhou cavalry, and he said to Wang Mi and Shi Le.
"This is too arrogant. I think it's better to send more people to kill them all, so as not to lower our morale."
After hearing Liu Ling's words, Wang Mi wanted to agree and sent a cavalry to fan gong. However, it was opposed by Shi Le.
"Our army has been marching for half a day, and the horses are already tired. If we don't take the time to rest for a while to restore the horse power, we are afraid that when we encounter a battle, we will not be able to exert the power of our cavalry."
Shi Le continued, "Furthermore, I think that although these dozen Qingzhou cavalry are powerful, it is impossible for them to shake our tens of thousands of troops with only a dozen of them. We can just ignore them."
Just when Shi Le had just convinced Wang Mi and Liu Ling, several groups of Hu cavalry suddenly rushed out from the array of Hu Lu cavalry, wanting to attack and respond.
Most of those people were Shi Le's subordinates. Shi Le was just about to say not to blindly pursue, but he didn't expect that his subordinates couldn't wait to leave the formation and attack without any military orders.
All this made Shi Le, who began to care about military discipline, very dissatisfied. If these barbarians were not born to be disobedient to discipline, Shi Le would have been used to it.
I'm afraid that this time, these Hulu cavalry who attacked rashly will definitely be severely punished by Shi Le for moving without orders.
However, Shi Le soon stopped caring about his angry subordinates and left the formation without authorization.
Because as the attack distance of these dozen Qingzhou cavalry slowly increased, Wang Mi next to Shi Le seemed to notice something strange.
"Hey, one of the Qingzhou cavalry seems to be Cao Yi."
Both Liu Ling and Shi Le knew about Cao Yi and others' escape and did not agree to this.
"Ah? The leader of these dozen enemies is actually Liu Yu?!"
Wang Mi's words really shocked Liu Ling and Shi Le. They quickly stood up and looked far ahead.
"Could it be that the reckless man in front is Liu Yu?!"
