Chapter 1469 Armored Cavalry

"Puff puff puff!" The giant arrow shot through the horse armor and pierced deeply into the body of the war horse. The war horse neighed and fell to the ground. Some soldiers on the horse's back fell to the ground, some were shot through the man and horse with their spears, and fell into a pool of blood. Some were agile and jumped off the horse's back in time and continued to rush with their spears.

All ten giant arrows hit, and several armored cavalry rushing in front and on both wings were shot. Only the four cavalry were covered in the middle of the formation, three were spared. They avoided the dead war horses in time, continued to move forward, and soon rushed to the front of the trench.

"Go!" A Shi Chang roared, holding a spear, stabbing the knight on the horse's back. The knight stabbed the spear, and the two spears intersected, and both deviated from the direction. Shi Chang was stabbed by the knight's spear, but his spear was pierced in the air. He turned sideways in time, threw the spear, grabbed the knight's spear with his left hand, snatched the empty door with his right hand, grabbed the knight's belt, and yelled: "You come down for me."

The knight was unable to sit steadily and was pulled off the horse by Shi Chang. Before he could get up, two sword and shield hands snatched up. The shield hit him hard on his face, making him dizzy and thunder in his ears. Soon, his helmet was pulled off, and a sharp sword was pressed against his neck and dragged it hard.

Three armored cavalry rushed into the formation. Although they knocked off several infantrymen, they were also surrounded by Jiangdong Army and were soon dragged off their war horses and killed.

But this was only the beginning. At the moment when the crossbow chariot roared, ten more cavalry began to charge. The crossbow chariot was slow to roll, and the speed of the armored cavalry was not particularly fast. They still rushed to the front of the formation calmly and launched an attack on Lu Su's position again. The war horses wearing horse armor knocked away the Jiangdong soldiers who rushed forward, and the spears in the cavalry killed them mercilessly. Although the Jiangdong soldiers fought back with all their swords and spears, they could not stop the armored cavalry's attack, and the position was shaken.

Then, the third batch of armored cavalry began to charge again. If they were allowed to successfully rush to the front of the formation, Lu Su's position would undoubtedly be broken. Fortunately, the crossbow had been sterned at this time, and he roared again and shot and killed four armored cavalry in time. The remaining six armored cavalry continued to charge and entered the formation.

The fourth batch began to charge, and all more than seventy armored cavalry were pressed up, causing a fatal blow.

In the blink of an eye, the armored cavalry successfully wedged into Lu Su's position at the cost of more than ten casualties. More than ten armored cavalry attacked in front of the formation, unstoppable and the formation was about to break. The remaining seventy armored cavalry began to accelerate. Even if Lu Su's crossbow chariot shot again, it could not stop the rushing of these armored cavalry. At least fifty cavalry could join the ranks of impact, which was enough to tear a gap in front of Lu Su's formation.

Gao Lan was a little excited, so he raised his banner to the central army, signaling that the Arctic cavalry was about to break the formation, and at the same time was ready to cover up the killing.

The powerful crossbowmen in Jizhou rushed to the front of the formation and shot with all their might. The arrows fell like rain, preventing the left and right wings from reinforced the central army.

Yuan Shao received the news and sent out one hundred armored cavalry again, preparing to use armored cavalry to trample on Lu Su's position first, and then send the light cavalry to cover it and kill. One hundred armored cavalry and two thousand light cavalry rushed out of the central army and rushed to the front of the formation. The hooves were thunderous, the flags were like clouds, and the momentum was imminent.

Seeing that the seventy armored cavalry began to charge at the same time and was about to enter the formation, Lu Su ordered the stone fat tank to throw out the stone fat tank. More than a hundred soldiers smashed the pot onto the trench that had just been filled. The pot was broken and the stone fat flowed out and stuck to the sack. Several rockets shot, ignited the stone fat, and the flames rose, forming a fire wall, which just stopped the last batch of the seventy armored cavalry.

The knights and war horses of the armored cavalry were well trained and were not scared by the fire wall. They still rushed forward, thinking that they could rush through the fire wall and join the battle. But they neglected one thing. The trench in front of the Lu Su formation had just been filled up and was not really flat. If the war horses were careful and slower, they could still pass smoothly. However, the flames rose and the war horses could only pass quickly. The knights and war horses subconsciously accelerated their speed, but could not see the ground clearly, and still maintained the inertia of the impact of the flat ground and rushed straight in.

A war horse staggered and staggered. Although he adjusted his posture in time and did not fall, the horse's hooves were stained with burning stone fat. The flames licked up along the horse's legs. The horse's legs were burned and roared. Even the well-trained war horse could not bear such pain and jumped around. It was useless to try to get rid of the pain. The fire spread up along the horse's legs and quickly spread to the horse's belly.

Several war horses jumped wildly in the fire, blocking the impact of the armored cavalry. Dozens of armored cavalry were blocked in front of the formation and could not advance and lost their speed. The Jiangdong Army took advantage of the attack to launch. About ten steps, even if the armored cavalry was both in the armor, they could not stop the powerful shooting of the strong bow and crossbow. Many armored cavalry were shot down. Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining armored cavalry hurriedly retreated from the safe distance, adjusted the formation, and prepared to attack again.

Although Lu Su lost more than a hundred soldiers and his position was broken by the armored cavalry, he promptly stopped the subsequent armored cavalry reinforcements and had to mobilize troops in time to siege more than ten cavalry rushing into the formation.

The number of people was insufficient, but the enemy was more tenacious than expected. These armored cavalry encountered the greatest difficulties since the army. Although they rushed to fight with all their might and broke through, the Jiangdong army did not collapse for a long time. They used the troops as units to forcibly rush into the gap between the armored cavalry, divided the armored cavalry and siege. Some dealt with people, some dealt with horses, some stretched out their legs to drag the cavalry off the horse, and some bent down to chop the horse's legs, with various tricks and a tough style.

The Arctic Cavalry was very tenacious and killed many people, but they were unable to succeed and were still knocked down one by one.

When the fire in the trench gradually faded, Lu Su's position had recovered from peace. The killed armored cavalry was dragged to the back formation, injured and the soldiers who died were also carried away. The filled soldiers kept their troops strictly guarding the formation and waiting for the start of the next attack. In order to stop the armored cavalry's attack, Lu Su lost more than 300 people, but the entire position remained unmoved.

Gao Lan had no right to command the armored cavalry, so he could only stabilize the position and wait for Yuan Shao's further instructions.

Yuan Shao was also surprised to see that the Arctic Cavalry failed in the assault, lost more than fifty cavalry, but failed to break Lu Su's position as he wished. He had seen Lu Su's tenacity, but he did not expect Lu Su to be so tenacious and could actually block the Arctic Cavalry's attack. He regretted it. If he had known this, he should have listened to Ju Su's advice and sent Arctic Cavalry to attack Sun Jian's position. Sun Jian was attacking Zhen Yan, and his formation could not be as strong as Lu Su's position, and Arctic Cavalry would have a greater possibility of victory.

But my opponent is Sun Ce, not Sun Jian. Even if the Arctic Knight defeats Sun Jian’s battle formation, what’s the use? As long as Sun Ce is still alive, Sun Jian’s death will have little impact. It will only allow Sun Ce to successfully accept Sun Jian’s subordinates and become stronger.

Yuan Shao hesitated and asked Guo Tu for advice. Guo Tu couldn't come up with a better idea for the time being, but like Yuan Shao, he did not agree to attack Sun Jian. Although Sun Jian was his father, his influence was limited and far less than Sun Ce.

"Lord, what price would you be willing to pay if you could defeat or even kill Sun Ce?"

Yuan Shao looked at Guo Tu, frowned, and after a while, he said, "Punze, what exactly do you want to say?"

Guo Tu bowed and bowed. "Lord, Lu Su was in charge of the formation, and there were good places and crossbows, which were difficult to break for a while. However, in this way, the power around Sun Ce was very limited, especially the crossbows. I guess there would be no more than thirty crossbows around him. If Sun Jian also had crossbows around him, then there might be even fewer crossbows around Sun Ce. If we bypass Lu Su and attacked Sun Ce directly, we might have unexpected achievements. This is a dangerous plan. If the lord feels that he is not sure and is willing to fight heavily, then I suggest that you follow the strategy of Ju Gong and him, and retreat to Luoyang first and then plan for the next plan."
