"Chase!" Since the two generals had given their orders, the deputy general had no choice but to give the order to continue chasing. However, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry still did not stop. Zhang Kai imagined that the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry would be the first to stop. Instead, he felt that the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry had sped up.
"No, no!" Taishi Ci calmed down as he ran. He realized that he had been influenced by Zhang Kai. He had been influenced by benefits. Taishi Ci was a very good archer. His archery skills were not inferior to his martial arts. In the history of the Three Kingdoms, Taishi Ci's archery skills were the third best after Huang Zhong and Lü Bu. It was written in the Records of the Three Kingdoms.
Ci was seven chi seven cun tall, had a beautiful beard, was good at shooting, and never missed his target. Tasting the strategy to get rid of the Ma Bao bandits, the bandits would steal from the top of the tower inside the village. Holding the tower in his hand, Ci drew his bow and shot. The arrow pierced through his hand and landed on the tower.
It meant that Taishi Ci's archery skills were very good. Once, he followed Sun Ce to get rid of the Ma Bao bandits. At that time, those bandits were shouting and cursing on the tower. There was one person holding onto the beam of the tower. He shot an arrow. The arrow pierced through that person's hand and nailed him to the beam.
After that, Cao Cao also admired Taishi Ci. It was like this. When Cao Gong heard of Taishi Ci's name, he wrote a book of Taishi Ci and sealed it with a box. Sun Quan used Taishi Ci to control the situation in the south.
He was famous throughout the world. Cao Cao also admired him a lot. He had someone deliver a letter to him. It was sealed in a small box. When he opened it, there was only one kind of Chinese medicine inside: Angelica. The meaning was clear.
Even Cao Cao admired Taishi Ci's archery skills. One must know that there were many generals in the Three Kingdoms. At that time, Cao Cao also had many people who were good at archery. However, Taishi Ci was still outstanding and let Cao Cao know about it. He personally gave Taishi Ci a medicine box and hoped that Taishi Ci would pledge allegiance to him.
A person with excellent archery skills had an obvious characteristic, and that was his eyesight. He could clearly see things hundreds of meters away, and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was only a few horse lengths away from the Yuzhou Cavalry. At first, Taishi Ci didn't notice it, but now, he noticed that the horses of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry didn't have any foam at the corners of their mouths. Their mouths were just open, and they were taking in air. Although they were tired, they definitely weren't as exhausted as the Yuzhou Cavalry.
"Stop, stop!" Even if Taishi Ci offended Zhang Kai this time, he couldn't let Zhang Kai lead the Yuzhou Cavalry to chase after them. If they continued to chase, they would definitely be annihilated.
The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry still had a lot of strength, but they were about to collapse from exhaustion. At this rate, even if they had three times the enemy, they couldn't even lift their swords. They couldn't kill them even if they stood there for them to kill. Not to mention, after the horses died from exhaustion, a cavalry without a horse was still a cavalry! They were infantry, but they were even worse than infantry. This was because most of them were wearing heavy armor on their horses. Heavy armored cavalry would become a burden on the ground. There was also a side effect of riding too many horses, and that was bow-legged. If you wanted to sit on the horse and not fall off, you naturally had to clamp the horse tightly. These generals knew how to train their body, so they could turn their bow-legged. However, those ordinary soldiers weren't so lucky. If they were to be bow-legged, they would be crippled. They couldn't even run, so how could they fight a war?
"Damn it!" Zhang Kai also knew that something was wrong. After chasing for such a long time, some of his Yu Province Cavalry's horses had already died. However, the Wolf Cavalry at the front didn't leave their formation. Zhang Kai had been leading the cavalry for so many years, so how could he not know that the Wolf Cavalry at the front were in a much better state than them. However, Zhang Kai didn't order the cavalry to stop. Now that Taishi Ci had ordered them to stop, Zhang Kai naturally followed suit and ordered the Yu Province Cavalry to stop.
When the Yuzhou Armored Cavalry heard their commander's order, they immediately stopped. Once they stopped, the cavalry couldn't stand it anymore. Because they were holding their breath while chasing, they didn't feel tired at all. But now that they relaxed, the Yuzhou Armored Cavalry couldn't stand it anymore. They were too tired. Not only were the warhorses tired, but they were even more tired. Running for dozens of kilometers while wearing a hundred jin of heavy armor was very uncomfortable for anyone. Their body was covered in sweat and their armor was soaked.
The Yu Province Cavalrymen took off their helmets. Their heavy armor was difficult to take off, so they could only take off their helmets to cool off. Their warhorses also stopped. Several warhorses couldn't bear the pressure and fell down. These warhorses were foaming at the mouth and twitching non-stop. Zhang Kai looked at them and felt distressed. These Yu Province Cavalrymen were Zhang Kai's troops. With them, Zhang Kai could become Sun Ce's confidant and earn military merits. However, several horses had already died. Cavalry without horses couldn't be called cavalry. Sun Cejun didn't know when the second batch of horses would be replenished. Therefore, every horse was precious.
They gave up just like that! Zhang Kai was a little unwilling. He suddenly punched the air. He was originally complacent and fought with the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. Both sides left countless corpses. Although the Yuzhou Cavalry lost more than a thousand men, which was double the number of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, the Yuzhou Cavalry was three times more than the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. In other words, Zhang Kai could afford to play. As long as he could make the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry stay, he would be victorious. Even if all the horses and cavalry died, he would still be the winner. However, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry escaped. In Zhang Kai's eyes, the king of cavalry actually escaped. In the dictionary of cavalry, cavalry was only used to charge! Since when was cavalry used to escape? According to common sense, a fleeing cavalry would only be defeated and slaughtered. However, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry showed Zhang Kai that cavalry could also escape and escape so quickly!
If Lü Bu was in front of Zhang Kai, Zhang Kai would definitely point at his nose and scold him. Are you still a god of war? Are you still Wen Hou Lü Bu? Aren't you the king of wolves? Aren't you a fierce tiger? Aren't you the king of cavalry? Why did you escape? Are you a coward? Are you a coward? Zhang Kai was really unwilling! If he let the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry escape like this, he would have to sacrifice countless soldiers' lives to eliminate them in the future. No, it should be to guard against them.
Compared to the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry in terms of physical strength, Lü Bu could only smile and face Zhang Kai. That's right, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry not only had heavy armor, but they also had spears and sabers. Some of the cavalry even had huge shields. However, don't forget that these heavy armor, spears, sabers, and huge shields were all brought from the sky by Liu Mang. Their defense was amazing. At the same time, they also had an advantage that other heavy armor couldn't compare to, and that was their light weight! All of these equipment added up to less than 40 jin. It was more than twice as light as the heavy armor of the Yuzhou Iron Cavalry behind them.
The warhorses of the Yu Province Cavalry behind them were all good horses that were transported from Liaodong. The poor ones had died on the ships. So the warhorses in Lu Bu's hands were all inferior warhorses!!!!!!!!!!!! Lü Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry's war horses were all ferghana horses in Lü Bu's eyes. However, Liu Mang called them Arabian war horses. They were all pure-blooded war horses. These were all modern horses that were made from the combination of horses from Central Asia and horses from Europe. These war horses were much stronger than the war horses from a thousand years ago. How could the Yu Province Cavalry possibly catch up to Lü Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry? Originally, Lü Bu could have shaken off the Yu Province Cavalry, but Lü Bu didn't do so. Instead, he maintained a distance of three horse lengths. Zhang Kai couldn't stop. He was about to catch up with Zhang Kai, but he was just a little bit faster. Just a little bit faster, just a little bit faster, just a little bit faster, just a little bit faster, just a little bit faster, and he would be able to catch up.
"Aren't you going to chase?" Lü Bu was a little regretful. He also noticed that the Yu Province Cavalry's war horses were dying. He also knew that no matter how good a war horse was, it wouldn't be able to run for so long. The reason why Zhang Kai chased him was because he hoped to catch up with him. Lü Bu also kept him hanging. Originally, he planned to exhaust the Yu Province Cavalry to death. This way, the Lü Bu's Army would be able to deal with the Yu Province Cavalry without any injuries. Just like how Liu Mang dealt with the Black Flag Army, Lü Bu also learned this trick from Liu Mang. After knowing what Liu Mang did in Wancheng City, Lü Bu began to think about whether this could be used on the cavalry. Today's experiment showed that the Yu Province Cavalry couldn't catch up with the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. They could only be chased by the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. Now that they discovered that catching up with them was simply an extravagant hope, the Yu Province Cavalry gave up chasing.
However, if they gave up chasing, Lü Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry would not let them go! Impossible. Not to mention whether Lü Bu would agree or not, even if Lü Bu agreed, the 500 dead war wolves would not agree. The remaining 1000 war wolves would also not agree. A debt of blood could only be repaid with blood. These wolf cubs were tired and hungry. Now was the time to look for food.
"Retreat!" Lü Bu's Neptune's Halberd was the command flag. Under the command of the Neptune's Halberd, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry quickly turned around and rushed towards the Yu Province Cavalry.
"The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry is here! The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry is here!" Taishi Ci and Zhang Kai were both generals in the army. Naturally, they knew that they had to release scouts when the troops were resting. Otherwise, they would be ambushed when they were resting. Now, the scouts that they released reported that the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was back.
"Courting death!" Zhang Kai gritted his teeth. This Lü Bu had played him like a monkey. He could have escaped, but he kept seducing him and made him lead the Yu Province Cavalry to chase after him for such a long time. Originally, Zhang Kai's stomach was full of anger and he did not know how to vent it. Now that he heard that the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was back, he immediately roared, "Everyone, get on your horses!" Zhang Kai was not afraid of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, he was afraid that the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry would not come! Originally, he was very unhappy that he could not catch up to the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and let them escape. Now that the Lü Bu had made a mistake and came back, Zhang Kai could not blame him.
"This time!" Taishi Ci also got on his horse. He no longer dared to underestimate the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry of Lü Bu. It should be said that Taishi Ci had also started to use his brain. Although he was a navy general, he was not a navy general! Both of them were soldiers, and both of them were marching to war. The principle would not change. The Lvbu's Army should leave this place and regroup with the other Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry! This way, the 5,000 Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry would be able to unleash their greatest fighting power. Then, they would come back and fight the Yu Province Cavalry. At that time, the Yu Province Cavalry would not be their match.
However, not only did Lü Bu not leave, he also did not look for the other Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. Instead, he came back. What was he thinking? Did he think that the Yu Province Cavalry was already at the end of their strength? Did he want to decide the outcome of the battle? Wasn't this a dream?! Although the Yu Province Cavalry was tired, they could still fight. In the end, Lü Bu would only suffer heavy losses.
"It must not be that simple. It must not be!" Taishi Ci shook his head. He did not believe that Lü Bu would be such an idiot. Or rather, he could not see that the Yu Province Cavalry still had the ability to fight. However, the tremors on the ground clearly told Taishi Ci that a large number of cavalry was rushing towards them. Wasn't this the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry?
"Run!" Although the Yu Province Armored Cavalry was tired, under the leadership of Zhang Kai, they still started to run. The slow speed of the warhorses gradually increased. The 5,000 Yu Province Armored Cavalry once again showed their elegance. Zhang Kai was in high spirits. He imagined that if there were enemies in front of him, then his Yu Province Armored Cavalry would definitely tear them to pieces. Zhang Kai was in high spirits. He imagined that if there were enemies in front of him, then his Yu Province Armored Cavalry would definitely tear them to pieces.
The two cavalry were getting closer and closer. In just half an incense's time, the two torrents of steel were about to collide. The killing intent was getting stronger and stronger.
"Come on, come on!" Lü Bu! This will be your burial ground! " Zhang Kai's face revealed a smile. He originally thought that Lü Bu had escaped. If that was the case, then Zhang Kai would not have any military merits. In addition, he had lost a thousand cavalry. If Sun Ce was in a bad mood and killed him, then Zhang Kai would not know where to cry. Now that the military merits and rewards were back, he came back to die! How could Zhang Kai not be happy? Obtaining Lü Bu's head and wiping out the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was no longer a dream.
As they got closer and closer, the vanguard of both sides could see the opposite side.
"Everyone attack and tear them apart!" Zhang Kai roared. He was already crazy. The Yu Province Cavalry were also crazy. After being played like monkeys by the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry for so long, they were not only tired but also angry. Some of their comrades had died in the hands of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. Now that they were being looked down upon, their eyes were filled with madness. Now, the Yu Province Cavalry's morale could be said to have reached a peak.
"Morale can be used!" Taishi Ci also nodded his head. The Yuzhou Armored Cavalry was worthy of being called a heavy cavalry. It was also worthy of being called an elite force that had been unhindered in this land for a long time. Yuan Shu relied on them to resist the siege of several forces. In the end, Cao Cao was able to take down Shouchun. That was also because the Yuzhou Armored Cavalry was scattered. Otherwise, Cao Cao would not dare to provoke Yuan Shu too much.
Now, the Yu Province Cavalry had become Sun Ce's subordinates. They were the trump card of the Jiangdong Army. With them, the Jiangdong Army could truly rise from a second-rate warlord to a first-rate warlord. Now, if the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was eliminated, then the Yu Province Cavalry would have one less opponent.
"Haha!" Lü Bu laughed as he looked at the Yu Province Cavalry. Come, come, go crazy, roar! Release all your anger, take out all your dissatisfaction. Seeing that the two cavalry forces were about to collide, Lü Bu began to wave the Poseidon Halberd in his hand. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, who was originally charging at the front, suddenly turned around. They did not want to face the Yu Province Cavalry head-on.
Lü Bu was not a fool. His cavalry tactics were unparalleled in the world. Now, the Yu Province Cavalry's morale was high. If you rushed up now, you would only be beaten up. Even if the enemy was weak, a crazy enemy would also injure you. Lü Bu only had a little more than a thousand Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry in his hand. If he rushed up now, he would only suffer losses. He could not do a business that would lose money.
"What! Running again?! " Zhang Kai's all-out attack hit the air again. This feeling, how should he describe it, was sullen, extremely sullen. If you directly fought and lost, then so be it. But now that you have gathered your strength, gathered your morale, and prepared to go all out, the opponent suddenly ran away. What was this called?! All your anger, all your morale, all for naught.
"Chase!" Zhang Kai got angry. Being teased by Lu Bu like this, he could not stand it anymore. He wanted to continue to chase after Lu Bu but he was caught by Taishi Ci. Taishi Ci was looking at Zhang Kai. His eyes were filled with sincerity "General Zhang Kai, the overall situation is more important!" Now, the only person who was clear-headed on the battlefield was Taishi Ci. The Yu Province Cavalry had also gone crazy. If they continued to chase, they would only tire the Yu Province Cavalry to death. In the end, they might not even be able to touch the enemy. Wasn't this what Lü Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry wanted? At that time, they would be completely annihilated, and the enemy would be unharmed.
"Sigh!" Zhang Kai also calmed down. He also knew that he could not catch up, but he was still unhappy. "Stop and rest, stop and rest!" Just as Zhang Kai shouted to stop and rest, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry returned.
"Kill!" The Yu Province Cavalry ran forward again, but they did not even touch the enemy's hair and stopped again. In the end, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry began to fight with the Yu Province Cavalry on a small scale. The Yu Province Cavalry knew how to use mounted archery, but the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry knew even more. They originally came from the desert, the grassland, and the outside of the Great Wall. When they fought with the outside tribes, they used cavalry to fight. First, they used cavalry archery, then they used cavalry to charge.
Wave after wave of arrows rained down on the Yu Province Cavalry. These Yu Province Cavalry did not have the huge shields of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. Although they were protected by heavy armor, as long as the arrows did not hit their vital parts, the warhorses were not protected. A bunch of warhorses were already exhausted to the extreme. Now, under the rain of arrows, hundreds of them died. This kind of loss made Zhang Kai grit his teeth.
"Lü Bu, I will kill you!" Zhang Kai said fiercely. He no longer had the previous high spirits, but a kind of disappointment after the madness.
"Let's go!" Taishi Ci also saw the situation. He also knew that the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was playing with the Yu Province Cavalry. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry did not have the numbers, but they were more mobile. They did not let the Yu Province Cavalry rest and did not want to fight to the death with the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. What could the Yu Province Cavalry do to them?
Now they can only go back, let the cavalry run, let everyone hold their breath and run back. As long as they run back to Lu Bu's military division, relying on the infantry and the thousands of archers on the hill, they will not be played by Lu Bu's army again.
"Go!" Zhang Kai also knew that the only way was to leave now. If he stayed, the casualties would only be greater.
"Go? Where are you going? " Lü Bu looked at the Yu Province Cavalry who were preparing to leave and laughed coldly. "Full force pursuit." The current situation was completely different from half a day ago. Now, there were 5,000 Yu Province Cavalry running in front and Lü Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry chasing behind them.
Now, Taishi Ci and Zhang Kai finally saw how terrifying the mobility of Lü Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was. No matter how they ran, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry would always catch up. Even if Zhang Kai made a decision to let the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry bring up the rear, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry would still be left behind. The area they were in now was a wide open area. Jiangnan had many waterways and plains. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry did not want to collide with the Yu Province Cavalry. Instead, they took a long detour and chased after the Yu Province Cavalry. The 1,000 men could only eat the dust behind them.
As they ran, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry continued to shoot arrows. These arrows were not aimed at the Yu Province Cavalry. There would definitely be people falling off their horses if they landed!
"We can't go on like this. We can't go on like this!" Zhang Kai's heart was bleeding. Out of the 5,000 complete Yu Province Cavalry, there were less than 3,000 men left. If this continued, it was possible that the entire army would be wiped out. If he lost the Yu Province Cavalry, he did not dare to imagine how Sun Ce would deal with him. Would he directly kill him? Or would he do something else? Zhang Kai could not accept this. Right now, he could only fight.
"Turn back!" Zhang Kai clenched his teeth. He is going to risk his life. If he continues like this, he will be completely annihilated. Even if he is not completely annihilated, the Yu Province Cavalry will suffer heavy casualties. One must know that this time, Lu Su's plan was to trick the Bing Province Cavalry into coming here. If they really fight, the Yu Province Cavalry will not be their opponent. Moreover, the Yu Province Cavalry was built by Sun Ce with enough money to equip tens of thousands of infantries. Zhang Kai cannot afford this and neither can Sun Ce. Now, they have already suffered thousands of casualties. If they continue to die, even if they reach Lu Su, Zhang Kai's future will be gone. Glory, splendor, wealth and status will become impossible. If Zhang Kai was one of Sun Ce's trusted subordinates, it would be fine. After all, one would have feelings for one's subordinates after working for a long time. However, Zhang Kai had just joined. He also knew that Sun Ce let him lead the Yu Province Cavalry because there was no one familiar with the Yu Province Cavalry. Once there was a replacement, Zhang Kai's position would be uncertain. Now, he had lost so many men!
The only thing he could do now was to keep the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and Lü Bu here. If he died in battle, everything would be for naught. If he won and killed Lü Bu, even if he had to wipe out the entire Yu Province Cavalry, Sun Ce would still reward him generously!
"General Zhang Kai, don't be impulsive!" Taishi Ci was anxious. He could see that Zhang Kai was going to risk his life and quickly stopped him.
"Could it be that General Taishi Ci has a better idea?" Zhang Kai looked at Taishi Ci with red eyes.
"Hungry?" Taishi Ci shook his head. "No!" He, Taishi Ci, was a general of the navy. If you were on a river, lake, or sea, Taishi Ci would be able to give you advice and advice. But now, you were facing cavalry. Taishi Ci was not familiar with them.
"Then shut up!" Zhang Kai was so anxious that he was fuming. "These are my subordinates. They are my brothers. They are my soldiers. They are not your navy. You can bear to see them die, but I can't." Zhang Kai even said rebellious words. What do you mean by my soldiers? These soldiers were all Sun Ce's. They were all part of the Jiangdong Army.
However, Taishi Ci did not care about it! If Taishi Ci's navy was the one who lost it, Taishi Ci would probably go crazy too! This feeling of being attacked by the enemy and not being able to touch the enemy was really maddening.
"Lü Bu, you shouldn't have bypassed my thousand men. Now, I will let you know the power of the Yu Province Cavalry!" Zhang Kai waved his flag and the entire Yu Province Cavalry once again turned around and charged towards the Lvbu's Army!
