Chapter 131: The Prestige of Gao Shun
But for now, Huang Gai and Sun Ben sent out too few people, but they were not Hu Zhen's opponent.
Wen Chou and Sun Jian looked at it from afar and saw Huang Gai. The small cavalry unit sent by Sun Ben collided with the cavalry unit sent by Hu Zhen, and fought against each other. A total of five or six hundred cavalry fought and poured out of the open space east of Hu Zhen's formation and west of Huang Sun's camp.
The two could not see the specific details of the battle, but before the battle was over, they saw Huang Gai and the cavalry sent by Sun Ben retreated while fighting, broke away from contact with Hu Zhen's cavalry, and then rushed back to the camp.
The cavalry of Hu Zhen's army chased outside the camp and galloped back and forth outside the camp. Although they could not see their expressions or hear their shouts, they could also imagine their power at this time.
Seeing Huang Gai, the cavalry sent by Sun Ben was quickly defeated, but Sun Jian was not angry, but suddenly smiled.
Wen Chou asked, "Why are you laughing?"
"Those who take a ride out will definitely be Boyang."
Boyang is the name Sun Ben.
"oh?"
"My cavalry is not as good as the gay. Liang's cavalry is sharp. If you have just arrived, my troops are still scarce, but you will never be defeated in one battle. I have always known Boyang, so this must be because Boyang is arrogant and lazy and shows weakness."
Once they had a little contact with the cavalry of Hu Zhen's army, Huang Gai and Sun Ben could roughly test their combat power. Since the combat power was discovered, they would have to defend the camp and fight hard. The troops were valuable, so there was no need to fight. They might as well pretend to be defeated and return, and they could be arrogant.
Before the war broke out, Huang Gai and Sun Ben had already fought with Dong Bing.
Hu Zhen, Lu Bu and Xu Rong's troops were all arranged in an array and began to attack Huang Gai and Sun Ben's camp at the end of Chen.
It was morning, the weather was getting warmer and the wind was still cool. Whether it was armored soldiers or armored war horses, it was a suitable temperature, and it was sunny and had a good view.
Before Lu Bu got on the horse, he stood by the side of the love riding. He caressed the belly of the mount, looked around and felt the cool breeze, and said comfortably and comfortably: "Today is such a heaven for war!"
His mount seemed to understand his words. He raised his front hooves, raised them, and hissed at the sky.
Lu Bu hurriedly stroked it a few more times and said comfortingly: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. You and I will be able to go into battle soon, fight happily!"
This mount is called "Red Rabbit". It has the bloodline of a good horse in the Western Regions. It is tall and majestic and very majestic. It can fly over the city and cross mountains without any effort. It is like crossing the plain. The most important thing is that it is still well-behaved and clever. As if it is human nature, Lu Bu is mostly due to the power of this horse. A saying in Bingzhou was circulating a long time ago, saying "There is Lu Bu among people and the Red Rabbit among horses", which means that people like Lu Bu can be said to be brave and brave. A horse like Red Rabbit can be said to be the best among horses. From this, it can be seen that the goodness of Red Rabbit has followed Lu Bu to the Central Plains and joined Dong Zhuo's army. This sentence originally circulated in Bingzhou is now known to the people in the Central Plains and has gradually spread.
In the two formations of Hu Zhen and Lu Xu, Hu Zhen was the chief general, and his position first sounded the powerful drum sound. Soon, Lu Bu also ordered the attacking drum sound.
Gao Shun, who had been in front of him, heard the sound and moved.
He took the lead, raised his spear to point the selected attack position, without saying a word of nonsense, and directly rushed over with his team.
Although the Hu Zhen formation opposite him beat the drum earlier than his side, when he started, the attacking troops in the opposite formation were not yet ready and had not yet come out.
In the previous battle between Lu Bu and Sun Jian, Gao Shun was the first to attack Sun Jian's step formation. The bravery of Gao Shun's troops was Huang Gai, which Sun Ben saw with his own eyes. Therefore, today's battle, Huang Gai and Sun Ben arranged the most powerful soldiers in the camp to guard.
Before Gao Shun reached the camp, arrows were shot out from Huang and Sun camp. Hundreds of slashed Zhang Shi opened crossbows and shot arrows together. Although the arrows did not fall like rain, they were also very deterrent and had great lethality, especially those who were strong crossbows. Once they were shot, they might fall off their horses immediately. However, none of the cavalry of Gao Shun's troops retreated, and there was not even dodging. All the cavalrymen saw not arrows, but Gao Shun's back. Wherever Gao Shun rushed, they would rush to. Gao Shun kept stopping, and they would not stop, even if they were in the sword mountain in front.
It is precisely because of his example and strict military discipline that Gao Shun was able to bring out such a tiger and wolf man who was forever in the face of war.
Although there are many crossbow arrows and hundreds of lines, Gaoshun's troops are well-trained and well-trained cavalry, with excellent men and horses, and extremely fast. Once the charge is launched, it is really radical like the wind and comes soon. It is said that "it is impossible to fight three arrows." Huang and Sun Ying only shot two arrows, and Gaoshun's troops are already in front of him.
After all, Huang Gai and Sun Ben were in a hurry to build a camp. When they built the camp, Lu Bu had already arrived, so he had no time to renovate the camp. He only dug a narrow ditch outside the camp, which was better than nothing. Fences were erected in the ditch. He worked all night last night and piled up soil behind the fence. In other words, although the soldiers in Huang and Sun Camp were very strict in defense, the camp was really simple.
However, despite its simplicity, the narrow groove is enough to temporarily block Gaoshun's part so that it cannot approach.
The cavalry of Gao Shun's troops rushed outside the camp. Gao Shun first turned the horse's head and ran along the ditch, galloping horizontally while turning sideways, throwing the spear in his hand out. Gao Shun was already powerful, and with the mount running, the pair of spears had another spear flying in the air, so the spear easily and relaxedly crossed the ditch, fence, and piles of soil, and fell into Huanggai and Sun Ben camp.
The hundreds of cavalrymen who followed Gao Shun also raised their short spears in their hands and threw them into Huang and Sun's camp.
The lethality of these hundreds of short spears is greater than that of the hundreds of crossbow arrows just now.
The crossbow arrow is a long-distance weapon, and the cavalry of Gaoshun's army is very fast, so the crossbow arrow is not easy to hit the target. There are not many people and horses who are shot in Gaoshun's army, and these hundreds of short spears were thrown nearby. The soldiers guarding the camp in Huang and Sun camp were all infantry, and they were eager to dodge in time. The short spear was fast and thick and sharp, and the shield could not block them all. They screamed in a row.
Gao Shun didn't have to look back, and he also knew that the result of this short spear was quite good.
He led his cavalry to run forward for a while, then took the first step to pluck the horse, turned around, and ran back along the way he had just come. At the same time, he took out another short spear from the side of the horse.
When the cavalry attacked the infantry camp, they first threw short weapons such as short spears when they got close. This was almost a standard tactic, so before Gao Shun's troops left, each of them brought several short spears.
After the attack just now, Huang and Sun camp soldiers suffered dozens of casualties. If they were to be carried by Gao Shun's troops several times, they would be afraid that hundreds of casualties would be lost? Moreover, not only the short spears, but also the cavalry of Gao Shun's troops also had cavalry crossbows. After the short spears were finished, they would shoot cavalry crossbows, and no matter how many troops they had, they would not be able to withstand such continuous attacks. (To be continued.)
