The Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 74 Meeting the Wuhuan Cavalrymen
In the west of Youzhou, Liaoxi, an army of thousands of people escorted a group of food and caravans to move forward slowly.Since leaving Ji County, this army has been converging all the way to the Zhen's and Mi's caravans in Xiangping, Liaodong. The team has become larger and larger, causing Gao Shun to frown all the way.

Although there were nearly 5000 troops, most of the [-] Danyang soldiers he led hadn't seen blood yet. Gao Shun would have no idea if they were attacked.He vaguely remembered that the lord once said to himself that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, and an army that has not experienced the baptism of blood cannot be considered a complete army.

"Report, there are a large number of cavalry ahead!" A scout got off his horse and reported this. The voice pulled Gao Shun out of his thoughts, and his face immediately became serious.

"Send the order, the caravans and carriages gather at the center, and the whole army deploys their defenses!" Gao Shun immediately gave orders after hesitating for a moment.

"No" the messenger left as promised.

"Yuan Jian, can you take your cavalry out to check!" Gao Shun turned his head and said to Liao Hua as the messenger left.

Liao Hua had been here before, only he was familiar with the enemy's situation, Gao Shun's consideration was not unreasonable.After agreeing to the promise, Liao Hua immediately galloped away with [-] flying feather cavalry, and the remaining [-] infantry were handed over to Gao Shun for unified command.

Although the [-] Danyang soldiers had never experienced combat, they had already been reborn under Gao Shun's strict training.At this moment, according to Gao Shun's order, the defense is strictly set up. The infantry can only defend against the cavalry in field battles, and attacking must be a dead end.

When I was young, four thousand soldiers and horses formed an formation, and some caravan carriages were used for peripheral defense, and all idlers were protected in the center of the formation.These Danyang soldiers were extremely nervous. No one thought that their first battle would come so quickly. They all knew that only by maintaining their formation could they survive the battle. Scattered infantry was just an appetizer for cavalry.

Gao Shun immediately stood in the center of the formation, looking far away, and after a while, the returning Liao Hua and others appeared in his sight.

"Report, there are more than a thousand Wuhuan cavalry ahead. Liao Sima is fighting and retreating. He ordered me to return first to report." A blood-soaked flying feather cavalry rode his horse and shouted loudly.

Hearing the report, there was a great commotion.In terms of numbers, our side has an absolute advantage, but the infantry cannot guarantee victory against the cavalry, and if one is not careful, the entire army may be wiped out.Gao Shun looked around, and said with emotion in his heart: "Hey, after all, they are still a group of recruits who have not yet fought in battle. I am afraid that the word rookie is the most appropriate to say to the lord."

"All the soldiers obey the order, and those who leave the battle without permission will be killed. The sword and shield soldiers are in front, the spearmen are setting up their guns, and the archers are ready." Following Gao Shun's order, the Danyang soldiers habitually began to stand. It is the benefit of elite soldiers. Although the training time is limited, the discipline is still very strong.

"Tat-tat-tat" a sound of hooves came from far and near, and Feiyu's white feathers were particularly conspicuous.Although they were outnumbered, the fighting strength of the Feiyu cavalry still gave the Wuheng cavalry a long memory.

Looking at the cavalry covered in blood in front of him, Gao Shun shouted loudly: "Yuan Jian, bypass the formation, the drivers will fight again."

Liao Hua didn't reply, he swung his sword and ordered Fei Yuqi to bypass the formation, at this moment his heart was bleeding.In the situation of three hundred against one thousand, Fei Yuqi lost more than 170 people, and the rest were all injured, including himself who was stabbed.But the Wuhuan cavalry was not much better, losing more than a hundred men.

The Wuhuan people didn't take the oncoming Han army cavalry seriously. Who would have thought that in a fight, these cavalry would not be afraid of death. Get out by your opponent.No, the faint-headed commander led his army in hot pursuit, and was about to catch up, but the Han army infantry formation appeared again.

At this moment, the exasperated commander-in-chief was preoccupied with how to drive out these Han cavalrymen. After the chariot formation appeared, the large amount of supplies made him even more dizzy.He actually ordered the rest of the cavalry to attack the chariot formation head-on, but in the end there was a rain of arrows, and more than a hundred of Wu Heng's cavalry fell down on the way to charge. Wuhuan Qianfu regretted it too late!
Immediately afterwards, the second wrong order was issued, ordering the Wuhuan cavalry to stop attacking and retreat immediately.Once the cavalry charged, they couldn't just stop. In an instant, the entire Wuhuan cavalry's charging formation was in chaos.Liao Hua, who originally planned to rest for a while and fight again, seized this opportunity and led the Feiyu cavalry to fight back again.

The chaotic Wuhuan cavalry formation became even more chaotic by Liao Hua's attack. Seeing this, Gao Shun immediately ordered the whole army to attack.With the addition of infantry, the Han army gradually gained the upper hand. If the Wuhuan people retreated at this moment, they would be able to retreat. It's just that the red-eyed Wuhuan Tuqi didn't get the order at all.

The scuffle between the two sides continued, and the attrition of combat personnel gradually increased. If Huo Yu was to order again, he would definitely order the fierce general to take the head of the enemy general.Liao Hua saw that there were fewer and fewer Feiyu cavalry left, his eyes were red, and he tried his best to kill the commander Wuhuan, but his martial arts were not as strong as Zhang Fei, so he couldn't charge in at all.

Gao Shun could see clearly from the rear, and knew that this was a good time to directly attack the enemy chieftain, but he was not a charge-type general, and seeing the increase in casualties, he had nothing to do.

At this moment, one man and one horse suddenly rushed into the Wuhuan formation from the flank of the rebel army, and there was no enemy in their path.This person's target is Commander Wu Heng.

Liao Hua felt that his strength was gradually diminishing, and there were only fifty horses left around. They were all veterans of the lord who broke the yellow scarf all the way, and they were almost lost here today.Suddenly, he noticed that one man and one horse rushed towards the Wuhuan commander, and every time he fired a shot, a Wuhuan cavalryman fell off his horse. This marksmanship was so familiar.

"Master?" Liao Hua subconsciously blurted out.

When the flying feather riders around heard Liao Hua's voice, they all thought that Huo Yu had come here, and their morale soared, and they swung their swords with all their strength to kill the enemy.The Danyang soldiers saw more than fifty cavalry slashing desperately, how dare they lag behind, they still knew Huo Yu's prestige, so the morale of the Han army on the entire battlefield increased sharply because of Liao Hua's subconscious words.

Commander Wuhuan was startled when he saw the young man getting closer and closer in front of him, and he sent three groups of troops but failed to stop him.How did Wuhuan's warriors lose to a Han boy, and if he said it, he wouldn't be laughed off by his tribe?So, his third wrong choice appeared, swinging a knife to meet the enemy.

Seeing that the two were getting closer and closer, the commander struck out with all his strength. He thought it was his best strike, and looked at the young man opposite with a grin, looking forward to the moment when he fell off the horse.However, everything went against his expectations. At the moment he swung the knife, a silver gun pierced his throat, and the commander fell off his horse with incredible eyes.

Seeing that the commander-in-chief was dead, the personal guards killed the young man desperately. In just a few breaths, there were no more Wuhuan people sitting on horseback around the young man.Liao Hua never took his eyes off the person who was charging, and when he saw the commander fell off his horse, he immediately shouted: "The enemy general is dead, brothers, kill them all!"
