Li Yue changed his route to the west, and Fu Xiong also started to go west.
On the plains, cavalry has an absolute advantage, but when marching long distances, especially in the mountainous and watery areas of western Henan, sometimes the cavalry may not be able to catch up with the infantry.
War horses cannot keep running at high speed all the time, but people's will to survive can make them tireless.
After crossing the Ru River, more than 8,000 people were captured one after another, but they were all members of Zhang Yu's tribe and not a single Di.
Fu Xiong was as slippery as a loach. He followed the Ru River to the west and was about to enter Yique.
But at this time, Li Yue finally bit their backs.
The sky was extremely gloomy, as if there was destined to be a war.
The soldiers of the Black Cloud Army were exhausted, but the people on the other side were even more tired.
Several days of chasing exhausted their physical strength, but not their fighting spirit. Nearly three thousand Di soldiers, with the unique ferocity of the Di people, formed a moon-cropping formation.
The spears are like teeth, arrayed in front.
The person who can be left behind by Fu Xiong is definitely not an ordinary person.
After fighting for so many years, one can tell by looking at the momentum that it is not simple.
Suddenly, the wind surged violently, the grass and trees in the wilderness trembled, and the flags on both sides kept rolling.
A general stepped forward and raised his horse, "Lueyang Lu Po Tower is here, come quickly and fight to the death!"
He turned out to be an old acquaintance, with a fierce voice and a fierce look, like a tiger in dire straits about to fight back with all its might.
But the two sides were already at odds, and there was nothing to hesitate. Li Yue waved his hand and directly ordered the cavalry to charge.
The two thousand knights changed their horses and formed a standard impact formation.
And once they open a gap, all the cavalry will rush forward and devour them.
The cavalry walked slowly, trotted, accelerated, and ran wildly. Their spears were raised, pointing with cold light at the Di people on the opposite side.
Although there are only two thousand cavalry, once the charge is launched, it will be so breathtaking that the mob will not even have the courage to face it. They will disperse in a hurry, and then the cavalry will cover up the attack.
It is not impossible for infantry to fight against cavalry. It requires the courage to face death.
And this Di army obviously has this quality. Faced with the thunderous charge of two thousand knights, no one fled, and the spear in their hand did not waver.
Li Yue secretly admired that the Di people were in a period of rising national morale and their fighting spirit was extremely high.
The two armies are getting closer and closer, three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred and fifty steps...
A shower of arrows streaked across the gloomy sky and accurately landed among the black cloud cavalry, knocking over twenty or thirty cavalrymen on the spot. However, as long as they missed the horses, the cavalrymen continued to charge with their arrows.
Eighty steps later, the second round of arrows streaked across the sky.
The knights were on guard and dispersed on their own initiative. Only seven or eight knights were shot down.
Two rounds of arrow rain have reached their limit, and the Black Cloud Knight has already rushed in front of him.
The spirit of disregarding death is by no means unique to the Di people, and the same is true of the Black Cloud Army.
The first dozen or so knights collided head-on with the spears, and the men and horses were directly pierced, like a cloud of blood exploding on the battlefield.
However, the weight of the war horse and the man, coupled with the momentum of the horse's galloping, also caused the spear to break, creating an opportunity for Pao Ze behind, and the sharp arrow pierced into the crescent moon, making an earth-shattering roar.
The horses were fighting wildly, and the soldiers on both sides were roaring hysterically.
Countless heroic soldiers fell, the earth was dyed red, and the sky became darker.
The Black Cloud Knight quickly tore apart the Di army's defense and penetrated their formation.
If the general infantry formation is penetrated by the cavalry, the battle is basically over.
If you can penetrate it the first time, you can do it the second time and the third time. The next fate of the infantry is ruthless slaughter.
Sure enough, there were already Di troops fleeing on the battlefield. Although there were not many, it was tantamount to a heavy blow to their morale.
However, only a few escaped, and most of the Di troops were still resisting tenaciously.
On the battlefield, Lu Polou's figure was extremely conspicuous. Wherever the fighting was fiercest, he was there.
The array, which was about to collapse, instantly gained a boost in morale after he and his soldiers arrived. A soldier carried a sword and shield and rushed towards the Black Cloud Cavalry. When he was knocked away by the cavalry, he also cut off the head and forelimbs of the war horse... …
This move further stimulated Di Ren's bravery.
"Ooh, ooh, ooh..."
The Di people let out bursts of short shouts, and countless spears gathered together, rolling back toward the Black Cloud Knight like white waves.
He actually drove the Black Cloud Xiaoqi out of the array.
Of course, this also has a lot to do with the exhaustion of the war horse.
After chasing Fu Xiong for so many days, the men were tired and the horses were even more tired, and this was the time when the horses were putting on their autumn fat.
"But as long as I, Lu Po Lou, am here, don't even think about passing by!" Lu Po Lou drove his horse to the front of the formation. The men on horseback stood up, raised their long spears, and looked up to the sky and roared.
The blood on his body slid down the horse's body and fell to the ground.
Only half of the soldiers behind him were left, less than 2,000, but their momentum was even more wild. Some people took off their helmets and threw them on the ground. Their hair like withered grass snarled their teeth and claws in the wind, and some people tore off their armor to reveal their muscles. , roaring at the Black Cloud Army.
"Qingqi attacks!" Li Yue's face was gloomy.
Lu Po Lou is so difficult to deal with, but people like Fu Xiong and Fu Jing are probably even more difficult to deal with.
Maybe the Black Cloud Army can kill them, but I'm afraid it will have to pay a considerable price.
The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Although Fu Hong died, the two brothers Fu Jian and Fu Xiong were not inferior to their father.
Li Yue felt his scalp numb when he thought of the series of famous generals and powerful generals in the Fu family.
More than 1,700 light cavalry rushed forward.
Cui Hong, who was standing beside him, asked doubtfully: "Why didn't Duke Liang press forward with his entire army and destroy the enemy in one fell swoop?"
Looking at his brother-in-law's innocent eyes, Li Yue patiently explained: "How can you confirm that there is no ambush behind this army? Secondly, if our entire army pounces, the soldiers will only become more tired and it will be difficult to pursue the fleeing Fu Xiong."
"That's it." Cui Hong is not omniscient and omnipotent, and he doesn't know much about the fighting on the battlefield.
These are accumulated experiences.
In fact, there is another reason. Lu Polou is also a veteran general who has been on the battlefield for a long time. Naturally, the place he chooses to fight will not be that simple. There is the rushing Ru River on the left, and there are trees and thorns on the right, making it impossible to deploy his troops. The two thousand cavalry have already is the limit.
Any more and we will trample on ourselves.
In the Battle of Jieqiao, Qu Yi's 800 infantry defeated Gongsun Zan's 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry.
You can't win with more soldiers on the battlefield. Anything can happen on the battlefield, so Li Yue had to be more cautious.
Most of the light cavalry troops were elites selected from the Xianbei clan of the Duan clan, and were good at riding and shooting.
Facing the Di people who were in a tight formation and waiting for death, they did not charge. They were like a long snake circling around the Di people. As they ran, they shot arrows into the enemy formation one after another.
As an army that broke off the queen, Lu Po Lou was naturally an elite force. Most of them wore iron armor and were equipped with shields.
Seeing the light cavalry riding and shooting, they all raised their shields.
However, the Xianbei cavalry's shooting skills were accurate, and their arrows were able to pass through the gap in the shield and hit the face of the Di army behind.
Those Di soldiers who took off their armor and armor became the focus of care, and were nailed to the ground one by one.
The entire battlefield was like a huge millstone, with the light cavalry constantly circling and shooting arrows into the enemy formation...
