"They want to go all out!" Lü Bu could also see Zhang Kai's feeling. The ones who felt it the most were the Great Han Generals, especially the Great Han Generals in Bing Province and You Province. Every time they fought against the foreign tribes, the foreign tribes would always lead them to the desert. This was because the foreign tribes' cavalry was not a match for the Great Han Generals. The Great Han Generals' cavalry were all heavy armored cavalry. Their armor was excellent and their swords were all made by famous craftsmen. The foreign tribes' swords and swords were all second-hand weapons that were bought from merchants in the frontier fortress. Their armor was also made of leather. If they fought head-on, they would not be a match for the Great Han Generals.
It was not that there were no smart people among the foreign tribes. Some Han people even shamelessly worked for the foreign tribes. They thought of a way, which was to not fight head-on with the Great Han Army. Instead, they used their light cavalry's high mobility to lead the Great Han Generals' heavy armored cavalry into the desert or the prairie, making them lose their way. If they lost their way in the desert or the prairie, they might not be able to get out for 10 days or even half a month. Then, the foreign tribes would wreak havoc in the Great Han Army's territory, slaughtering and looting. At that time, the Han Army had no choice but to passively defend.
Later on, someone came up with an idea to break the guerrilla warfare of the foreign tribes. Since the foreign tribes did not dare to fight head-on with the Great Han Cavalry, they would force them to fight head-on. They would directly go past them and ignore them. When the Great Han Cavalry set out, the gates of the frontier fortress would be closed. All the soldiers and civilians would defend the fortress together. Then, the Great Han Cavalry would directly ignore the foreign light cavalry. They would directly enter the desert or the prairie. They would directly attack the root of the problem! In other words, they did not care about the foreign cavalry and went straight to their nest. If the foreign tribes wanted to survive, they had to find a place with water and rich weeds so that they could raise their cattle and sheep. What the cavalry of the Great Han Dynasty needed to do was to find the gathering place of the foreign tribes, find their clan, and directly carry out the policy of eliminating the weeds and the roots. He did not care whether the foreign cavalry was there or not, he would directly destroy their family, their wives, their daughters, and their entire clan. Without these, how could they survive?
This was completely forcing the cavalry of the foreign races to show themselves and confront the heavy cavalry of the Great Han Dynasty. If you don't come, then I will exterminate your race. If you come, then I will exterminate you and your race together. At that time, outside the Great Wall, those foreign races were terrified.
If any tribe dared to snatch a city from the Great Han Dynasty, then the Great Han Dynasty's Generals would directly bring their heavy cavalry to find the tribe. If they asked for directions on the way, they had to reply. If they dared to hide anything, they would be killed. Because of this, the number of wolves on the grassland increased by tens of thousands.
The one who came up with this plan was Ding Yuan, Ding Jianyang. The one who led the Great Han Dynasty's heavy cavalry to sweep the area beyond the Great Wall was Lü Bu. Wherever Lü Bu went, there was no living place. Therefore, in the eyes of the foreign tribes, Lü Bu was the Wolf God and also the Grim Reaper from hell.
Lü Bu is now using this method to deal with the Yu Province Iron Cavalry. Lü Bu's nest is in Wan Cheng city. If you have the ability, then go!
Lü Bu's Neptune's Halberd has not been brandished, but the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry already understood. They were already very familiar with this method. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry began to move and pull away from the Yu Province Iron Cavalry. They didn't let the Yu Province Iron Cavalry despair, but they also didn't let the Yu Province Iron Cavalry succeed. They gave them hope again and again.
"Lü Bu, you forced me to do this!" Zhang Kai gritted his teeth. His hair was disheveled, and he had already become a gambler. The most important characteristic of a gambler was that he dared to bet on anything. For the sake of victory, he even dared to bet on his life.
"Spur the horses!" Zhang Kai roared and ordered the Yu Province Iron Cavalry.
"What?!" The Yu Province Iron Cavalry were all stunned. Spur the horses? This is really crazy. The horses are their second life. Let alone spur the horses, even if the horses are a little damaged, they will be sad. Now the horses are so tired that they began to complain.
"Zhang Kai, you are crazy!" Taishi Ci also didn't think that Zhang Kai would dare to do this. Spur the horses? Now the Yu Province Iron Cavalry can't catch up with the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. Spur the horses can indeed increase the speed of the horses. Under the spur, the horses can display amazing explosive power. However, after this battle, the horses will be completely crippled. Under the spur, the horses will bleed to death. Sun Ce spent a lot of money to buy these horses from Liaodong. Each horse is worth a hundred gold. These horses were bought by Sun Ce from Liaodong. Even Sun Ce reduced the rewards for his subordinates by a lot. One of them was Taishi Ci's own. He gave more than a year of his salary. He knew how important these horses are to Sun Ce.
But now Zhang Kai actually wants to spur the horses. What will happen after that? The entire Yu Province Iron Cavalry will disappear under Sun Cejun's command. Sun Ce has been living frugally for so many years and spent so much effort. Will it all end in one battle?
"I am not crazy! "Zhang Kai is crazy! It's hard to say. "Taishi Ci, how many Yu Province Iron Cavalry can return alive if I don't spur the horses? A hundred or a thousand? You have seen the strength of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. Now, five thousand Yu Province Iron Cavalry can't match them. Do you think we can match them after we are heavily injured? " Zhang Kai shouted at Taishi Ci. "We can only fight now. All the horses, speed up and catch up with Lü Bu's Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. If we win, it will be worth it even if the entire Yu Province Iron Cavalry is killed. If we lose, then the entire Jiangdong Army will never have a day of peace!" Zhang Kai is not crazy. He is still calm. He knows that it is not up to him to choose whether to fight or not. The facts are forcing him to fight. If he doesn't fight, then only death will await him. If he fights, then maybe he can survive. So Zhang Kai is calm now.
"But!" Taishi Ci wanted to say something but Zhang Kai didn't give him the chance. "Didn't you hear what I said? Spur the horses! Do you want to live like a woman, or do you want to die gloriously in battle like a man? It's up to you! " Zhang Kai was indeed a good general. His words immediately stirred up the entire Yuzhou Cavalry. What did it mean to live like a woman? The men in ancient times were not like the men in modern times. The men in this era were very chauvinistic. In modern times, men might dress up like a woman. There were even some who changed sex and became a woman. In the eyes of these ancient men, these things were completely rebellious. They were completely against their ancestors and against the heavens.
Men are men. Men should be indomitable. Men should be righteous. In ancient times, the greatest humiliation is to be humiliated by a woman. For example, the famous Zhuge Liang gave Sima Yi women's clothes. Sima Yi is thick-skinned and can't do anything about it. But in Zhuge Liang's eyes, this is the greatest humiliation. Now, the Yu Province Iron Cavalry were ordered by their general to live like a woman.
They can die, they can die, but they must not live like a woman. Not even a little bit.
"Spur the horses! Spur the horses!" The Yu Province Iron Cavalry also moved. The Yu Province Iron Cavalry were also elites. They were not inferior to Lao Cao's Ferocious Cavalry. They even gave Lao Cao a headache. The two directors of the Yu Province Iron Cavalry were willing to spend money. Yuan Shu can be said to have plundered the people's wealth to the extreme. He used all the money in Yangzhou to build his palace and gave it to the Yu Province Iron Cavalry. The second master, Sun Ce, was also the same. The entire Eastern Wu and Jiangdong had a heavy cavalry. If you were in the land of Wu, Chu, and Yue, there were tens of thousands of cavalry during the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period. Using such a large amount of resources to raise a troop of 5,000 people, you can see how elite they are.
Swords pierced into the horse's buttocks, while sabers chopped down on the horse's lower body! The hearts of the Yu Province Iron Cavalry were bleeding. However, they endured the pain and held back the tears in their eyes. They were men, not women. They would rather die gloriously in battle than live in grievance.
"Old man, run, gallop. If you die, your master will also go down to accompany you!" The Yu Province Iron Cavalry were already confident that they would die. How can they be called cavalry if they lost their horses? They might as well all die in battle.
"Spur the horses?" Lü Bu frowned. These Yu Province Iron Cavalry were really ruthless. They actually directly attacked the horses under them. The horses were the cavalry's comrade. They were the cavalry's second life. Lü Bu, who was also a cavalry, knew that there were some Han soldiers outside the Great Wall who would rather be shot by arrows than be shot by the horses. The feelings accumulated over the years could not be explained in a few words.
These horses were their relatives. However, now they were ruthless to their relatives in order to catch up with him, to catch up with the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.
"But it's not that simple!" Lü Bu directly avoided the spearhead. This was the saying of soldiers and horses. Although the Yu Province Iron Cavalry's speed was amazing, they were still slower than the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. As long as Lü Bu delayed them, victory would definitely belong to Lü Bu. "Throw down the shields!" Lü Bu shouted. What he needed now was to give up the supplies. He needed to give up the unnecessary weight to shoulder the burden of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. This way, they could get rid of the Yu Province Iron Cavalry.
This group of Yu Province Iron Cavalry was a group of lunatics. Anyone who encountered them would be unlucky. Lü Bu did not want to cause unnecessary casualties.
"It's useless. It's useless. We will definitely catch up with you!" Seeing the Lü Bu's Army throw down the shields, Zhang Kai became more and more ferocious. You think you can escape by throwing away the supplies? Impossible. Zhang Kai was going all out. How could he let Lü Bu escape? He had already burned the boats. If he did not fight, then he would be the unlucky one. Just like Xiang Yu, if Xiang Yu destroyed the boat and the Qin army chose not to attack but to set up camp or retreat, then Xiang Yu would be left with a dead end. Without a boat, they would not be able to escape. Without a pot to cook, they would starve. If they starved for a day or two, then Xiang Yu's army would definitely be wiped out and there would be no Chu Bawang in history.
However, history was history. It had already happened and there was no way to change it. The current Zhang Kai was Xiang Yu and Lü Bu was the Qin army. Zhang Kai was going all out. He gambled everything. He wanted to win.
Unknowingly, Zhang Kai had placed himself in a disadvantaged group. Although Xiang Yu defeated the Qin army in the end, it was after he had been defeated. Before that, the Yu Province Iron Cavalry was chasing after the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. The dagger in Zhang Kai's hand once again pierced the buttocks of the warhorse he was riding. Blood splattered everywhere. The warhorse neighed in pain and sped up. The wound on its buttocks also started to bleed. Now, all the warhorses of the Yu Province Cavalry had turned into ferghana horses. Each warhorse was stained with their own blood. The brown and black warhorses couldn't be seen, but the white warhorses were very obvious. Their blood stained a large area, which looked very terrifying.
"Throw away the cavalry spears!" Lü Bu shouted again. This Zhang Kai was really going all out. The best way to deal with this kind of gambler was not to gamble with him. This was because winning or losing would not be a good thing for oneself.
If one lost, then all the previous wins would be wasted. If one won, one did not know what kind of damage this kind of crazy gambler would bring to oneself. Therefore, Lü Bu chose to avoid the sharp edge.
"Milord, this cavalry spear!" Some of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry soldiers were puzzled. They could throw away the giant shield. That was a defensive weapon. To be honest, these Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry soldiers were not willing to use it. Those who were called to carry the giant shield were the weakest in the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. Because they were weak, they were naturally in charge of defense. The other Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry soldiers were naturally in charge of offense.
They only have sharp claws and teeth. Have you ever seen a wolf with a hard carapace? Losing the shield did not cause them any pressure. On the contrary, they were secretly happy. On the other hand, they were reluctant to give up the spears because they were already used to it. These spears were brought by Liu Mang from the modern world. They are all made of steel. Not only are they strong, they are also very sharp. The armor that was a headache for the Wolf Cavalry in the past could not withstand these spears at all. One spear can pierce through a circle of armor. Now that Lü Bu, the Lord, wanted them to put down the spears in their hands, they were naturally unwilling.
"What are you hesitating for? You can just go back and pick them up later! " Lü Bu directly shouted. Every Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry soldier had a cavalry spear. Throwing it away would be much faster.
"Yes!" Lü Bu's one sentence made the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry soldiers throw away the spears in their hands without hesitation. Moreover, their faces were filled with complacency. Why? Because Lü Bu said that he would go back and pick them up later. This sentence meant that Lü Bu did not put these enemies in his eyes. What awaited them later was an all-out attack from the Lvbu's Army. Only when the Lvbu's Army won would they be able to clean up the battlefield and retrieve the cavalry spears.
The Yuzhou Cavalry was fast, but the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was even faster. After throwing away tens of jin of weight, the advantage of the pure-blooded horses was displayed. These Liaodong Warhorses could not be compared to the genetically modified descendants. Even if these seniors were covered in blood and were risking their lives, they still could not catch up.
"Damn it!" Zhang Kai could not bear it anymore. If they really could not catch up with the Yuzhou Cavalry, then they would be completely annihilated. On the other hand, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry on the other side could be considered unscathed except for the loss of hundreds of cavalry. Zhang Kai could not accept this result. Even if he was severely injured at the foot of Mt. Bagong, there were still 800 Yuzhou Cavalry soldiers who could escape. But now, all of the Yuzhou Cavalry soldiers had their warhorses pierced. Even if they survived, their warhorses were useless.
"Ah ah ah!" The aftermath of piercing the warhorses came. Some of the warhorses could not bear it anymore. They were tired and had lost a lot of blood. They were not machines. Even if they were machines, they would be destroyed. One by one, the Yuzhou Cavalry left the main force. Once they left the main force, no one could catch up with them.
Zhang Kai knew that those were the losses of the Yuzhou Cavalry. Did God really want Zhang Kai to be defeated by the river? Did God really want him to die here? Zhang Kai refused to accept it. He was also a general. He was also a cavalry commander. He believed that he was not worse than anyone in terms of cavalry commander. But why? Why couldn't he defeat the Lvbu's Army? Why couldn't he defeat the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry? The Yuzhou Cavalry and the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry had not only fought once or twice. Since Yuan Shu's expedition to Xuzhou, the Yuzhou Cavalry was the vanguard. Then, Lü Bu's expedition to Yuzhou, and then several forces besieged Yuan Shu, at the foot of Mt. Bagong, and now, the Yuzhou Cavalry had never won. Although they lost the previous times, they could still retreat. But this time, when their warhorses could not bear it and fell down, then the end of the Yuzhou Cavalry would not be far away. They were facing more than 1000 Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.
"Sigh!" Taishi Ci shook his head and sighed. He really did not expect Lü Bu to be able to turn the tables in such a strategy. He had also never seen a person who could play cavalry tactics to such perfection. Was Zhang Kai weak? Not weak at all. Taishi Ci thought that Zhang Kai was a general and a good general. He originally wanted to go back and say a few good words in front of Sun Ce. This was because Zhang Kai was very good at commanding the cavalry. He could see it from his ability to raise the morale and his decisiveness in stabbing the horses.
But now, there was no need for that anymore. The Yuzhou Cavalry was finished. At least in Taishi Ci's eyes, he was finished. Chase? You can't catch up with the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. Run! You can't outrun the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry would not let you run. In the end, you have to fight with your life on the line. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry would not give you a chance at all!
Taishi Ci had already made up his mind. If there was no other way, he would break out with Zhang Kai. The Yuzhou Cavalry had already been lost. Jiangdong could not afford to lose another cavalry commander. He had already experienced the might of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. Zhang Kai had already begun to despair.
Just as Zhang Kai was about to despair and Taishi Ci was about to break out of the encirclement, another group of cavalry appeared from the direction of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. This group of cavalry had a banner with the word "Yu" written on it. There were not many people, only a thousand of them. However, these thousand people made Zhang Kai laugh wildly.
"Hahahaha! The heavens do not destroy me, Zhang Kai!" It turned out that this group of cavalry that was blocking the Lü Bu Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was the thousand Yuzhou Cavalry that Zhang Kai had left behind!
They were ordered to cover the rear. However, they were thrown off by the Lvbu's Army. Because they were going in the opposite direction, they could not even see the main force. In the end, they could only follow this path. Now, they were blocking the path of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. They directly blocked the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.
Originally, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry did not want to fight with the crazy Yuzhou Cavalry. Now, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry had no choice but to fight with the Yuzhou Cavalry. There were Yuzhou Cavalry in front and behind them. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry could only choose to charge back.
