Chapter 893 Defend the Coach!
After the three hundred tiger cavalry broke through the siege of 5,000 Yanzhou troops and the front row of Yanzhou troops, their momentum did not diminish, but they charged towards Yu Jin's location with great force!
Yu Jin and the Yu Zijiang flag flying high in the air seemed to be shining in their eyes, attracting three hundred tiger cavalry to rush towards Yu Jin.
At this time, tens of thousands of Yanzhou troops gathered around Yu Jin, forming a dense formation and surrounding Yu Jin.
"Archers prepare—shoot!"
The archers around Yu Jin raised their bows and nocked arrows. They were all ready to go. They aimed at the incoming tiger and leopard cavalry and threw out the arrows in their hands.
However!
Dang Dang Dang!
These arrow rains almost did no harm to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, because the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is equipped with armored equipment, and everyone from the man to the horse wears heavy armor. Even the face of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry on horseback is covered by an iron mask. Live, only two eyes are exposed, it can be said that he is armed to the teeth.
All the incoming arrow rain fell on the armor, making a clanging sound. The arrows had just hit them, but they could not penetrate them, so they were ejected and fell to the ground.
"Isn't there any shortcomings in the armor and riding equipment?" Xu Shu asked in shock.
Three hundred tiger cavalry rushed forward extremely quickly. After avoiding the rain of arrows, they finally arrived in front of the enemy's formation and launched an attack on the forbidden army.
Three hundred tiger cavalry suddenly charged into the Forbidden Army, but this time they were unable to break forward as expected.
"Block it, block it for me!"
Sun Li roared, and he saw a group of sword and shield players in the front row. In their hands were large shields that were as high as a person. Their knees were slightly bent, and they were firmly holding the shields in their hands. Behind them are countless Yanzhou troops. The layers of Yanzhou troops are close together, with almost no gaps.
boom!
The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry slammed into these large shields as tall as one person, but the shield wielder was not knocked out by the powerful impact of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
The moment the sword and shield bearer received a strong impact, the shield was slightly dented. A look of pain appeared on the face of the sword and shield bearer. The arm holding against the shield seemed to make a slight cracking sound. However, the people behind these sword and shield bearers Their colleagues serve as their support.
Therefore, when the Tiger Leopard Cavalry attacks, the force of the violent impact is dispersed to the people behind it, making it difficult to break through. This is just like the old story about breaking chopsticks. One chopstick can break it, but several more chopsticks are difficult to break even if you use force.
"What are the spearmen waiting for? Come on!"
Yu Jin shouted loudly, and at this moment, the Yanzhou army behind the sword and shield hand suddenly jumped up, holding a long halberd in his hand.
The invincible Lu Bu used Fang Tian's painted halberd. It is said that Xue Rengui of the Tang Dynasty also used a halberd. It seems that all those who use halberds are masters, but this is not the case. Halberds are commonly used weapons on the battlefield, but their functions are different from ordinary weapons, such as spears, bows and arrows, ring-headed swords, etc., which are all used directly to kill enemies, while halberds are shaped like spears. A crescent blade extends from it. Its main function is to hook the enemy's weapons and assist others in assassinating them.
For example, in the Qin State during the Warring States Period, there was a combination of halberd soldiers and sharp men with iron swords. The halberd soldiers stepped forward and used iron halberd hooks to lock the enemy's weapons, and then the Qin soldiers holding swords stepped forward to attack and kill at close range. The effect Extraordinary.
I saw the spearmen in Yanzhou's army stretched out their halberds and pushed towards the tigers and leopards on horseback. The tigers and leopards in the front row didn't pay attention and were immediately knocked off their horses.
Some tiger and leopard riders were attentive and pulled out their swords from their waists to strike at the incoming halberds. However, there were only three hundred tiger riders in total, and there were at least a thousand halberd bearers. Suddenly, they were everywhere in all directions. It's a halberd. Halberds came from left and right, and hooks were locked in all directions, immediately knocking the tiger and leopard off their horses.
"Haha, General Yu, I really have you. You are indeed the general that the general relies on the most. You can even deal with armor and riding equipment." Xu Shu couldn't help but praise.
Yu Jin showed a relaxed expression: "As long as they are human beings, there will definitely be a way to deal with them. Fortunately, these armored and cavalry equipment broke through our army's two-layer military formation before and consumed a lot of energy, but now we can take them down."
Fortunately, the Tiger Cavalry only had 300 people. If there were 3,000 people, even if Yu Jin's military strength was doubled, it would still be difficult to withstand the fierce attack of the Tiger Cavalry. However, if the Armored Cavalry Equipment wants to expand its army to three thousand, I'm afraid it will have to use all the strength of the country.
"The enemy has fallen, attack!"
Seeing the tiger cavalry being pulled off their horses one after another, Yu Jin immediately ordered an attack. The Yanzhou soldiers in the formation immediately rushed forward and fought with three hundred tiger cavalry. However, although these three hundred tiger cavalry were defeated, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. After all, these tiger cavalry were wearing a full set of iron armor. Although each of them was not invulnerable, their defensive power was extremely strong, even if they became infantry. He is also a soldier, very powerful.
Facing the siege from all sides by the Yanzhou Army, even though they were fully armored, these tiger riders felt tremendous pressure. Even tanks would be wiped out by a large number of fruit troops, let alone the tiger riders who were fully armored?
Upon seeing this, Cao Xiu made a decisive decision: "Don't continue to entangle with the enemy. The whole army retreats, quickly!"
The tiger cavalry was built with a lot of money, how could it be used as infantry and consumed by the enemy?
"Take your injured companions away on horseback, don't leave them to the enemy!" Cao Xiu shouted.
Just kidding, every armor worn by these tiger knights is made with a lot of money. Wouldn't it be a big loss if they stayed here?
Under Cao Xiu's order, the Tiger Cavalry began to slowly withdraw from the battlefield, dragging its companions to get on their horses again and evacuate.
Although the Tiger Cavalry only numbered 300 people, it was like a sharp knife, cutting through the Yanzhou Army's two battle formations before. Now it was finally forced back by the Yanzhou Army.
"The enemy has retreated!"
"Great, these guys finally retreated."
Tens of thousands of Yanzhou troops breathed a sigh of relief involuntarily.
"Prime Minister, the Tiger Cavalry has retreated." Cheng Yu said.
"Well, I saw the true nature."
Cao Cao frowned and said: "The Tiger Cavalry's record is already pretty good. They broke through the Yanzhou Army's two battle formations one after another and defeated nearly ten thousand enemies. Unfortunately, the number is too small, only three hundred people. After all, they don't have enough stamina."
Cheng Yu agreed: "What the Prime Minister said is true. Although this armored riding equipment costs a lot, the effect is really good. Even if our army spends a lot of money in the future, it is absolutely necessary to form another batch, at least one." Thousands of people!”
With a thousand armored cavalry and a fierce assault, even an army of tens of thousands would be broken through, right? Cheng Yu thought.
