Chapter 201 The first battle against Lu Bu(2/2)
Hua Xiong's Xiliang cavalry had already reorganized their formation. He planned to organize a third charge, but found that Hua Mulan and Xia Houyuan had already succeeded, but quickly retreated.
The impact of the light cavalry was not as strong as that of the heavy cavalry, but their maneuverability was very strong. Hua Xiong did not even have a chance to compete with the opponent's light cavalry, and the opponent retreated.
Hua Mulan and Xia Houyuan were not ready to use ordinary light cavalry to engage in a head-on confrontation with Hua Xiong's Xiliang cavalry.
Use light cavalry to attack heavy cavalry unless the general's brain is short-circuited or there is no way to retreat.
"There are many outstanding cavalry generals among the heroes of Guandong."
Xu Rong's army arrived and swept the battlefield with great force, allowing the soldiers to snatch the spoils of war to maintain high morale.
Unless you are a general who manages the army rigorously, looting trophies is always one of the ways to effectively improve the morale of the troops.
Xu Rong realized that the quality of the generals of the Guandong heroes was amazing.
There were more than ten generals from Guandong who appeared in Xingyang alone!
No matter Dong Zhuo's camp or the Guandong heroes' camp, there are many fierce generals!
"Thanks to you for coming to reinforce me this time, otherwise I might have been captured by Lu Bu."
Sun Jian was defeated with fewer strikes and more defeats. He thanked the four generals who came to support him. At the same time, he saw that the elite Tang cavalry had killed a small number of Bingzhou wolf cavalry with mounted archery. He couldn't help but secretly praise them.
Very few light cavalry dared to use mounted archery to provoke the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.
Xia Houyuan participated in supporting Sun Jian, witnessed the appearance of two white-robed generals from Langya Kingdom, and wrote down the names of Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun, so that there might be a battle in the future.
Sun Jian counted his troops and found that there were originally 15,000 men, but there were less than 5,000 who were still with Sun Jian. Some of the troops were killed by the Xiliang Army, and some were routed when they were ambushed by Xu Rong, and there would be more in the future.
They returned to the team one after another. But with Sun Jian's ability, losing two-thirds after one battle was too tragic.
When the princes from all walks of life heard that Sun Jian, who was the vanguard, was defeated, the princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty panicked. The foreign princes had long known that Dong Zhuo's army was at a sharp front. Anyone who took the initiative to attack now would be doomed. Unless all the princes arrived one after another, it would be possible to fight head-on.
Xiliang cavalry battle.
In Chutian, Cao Cao and Sun Jian reunited and camped along the Bian River to confront Xu Rong, waiting for other princes to come and not to act rashly.
Chu Tian didn't dare to say that he could block the Xiliang Cavalry's Zhu Tu on the plain.
Even Chu Tian had a heavy cavalry in his hands, but it was a low-level heavy cavalry, and its number was only three hundred, which could not be compared with the thousands of Xiliang cavalry. The Xiliang cavalry were high-level heavy cavalry.
Chu Tian also learned during the battle here that Cao Cao's general Xia Houyuan had the ability to lead light cavalry to attack long distances.
Cao Cao learned that Chu Tian's two white-robed young generals were extremely powerful.
Just because two people are joining forces now doesn't mean they won't part ways in the future.
Sun Jian collected the defeated troops and gained another two thousand soldiers.
Other princes from all walks of life came one after another. They already knew about Sun Jian's defeat, so they were cautious and formed an encirclement against Xingyang.
When Xu Rong and other generals saw the various princes arriving one after another, they knew that even if they defeated Sun Jian's small army, it would still be a drop in the bucket for the huge Guandong princes. So they retreated to camp under Hulao Pass, which was at the horns of Hulao Pass.
If the Kwantung Allied Forces want to capture Hulao Pass, they must also defeat the Xiliang army stationed below Hulao Pass.
As the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao was the first to ask: "Who can defeat the Xiliang cavalry in the plains?"
Many princes looked at each other, and no one thought that the troops in their hands could stop the heavy cavalry of Xiliang.
Chu Tian thought that he also lacked a heavy armored force to compete with the Xiliang cavalry.
"No, using the car-fort tactic may work wonders."
