"Someone, show me the armor of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry!" Lu Su ordered his men to take a set of heavy armor from the dead Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry soldiers. This set of heavy armor was the same as the armor of the City Guard soldiers on the walls of Wan Cheng city. It was impossible to use this set of heavy armor to defend the city. This was because the city was in a protracted war. If you wear a set of heavy armor, you will be exhausted in less than half an hour. However, the City Guard soldiers in Wan Cheng city could wear this set of heavy armor day after day.
Lu Su had long wanted to obtain this set of heavy armor, but he didn't have the opportunity to do so. Now that he saw the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry soldiers wearing the same set of heavy armor, he immediately took out a set of heavy armor. Lu Su didn't care about the blood and sweat on the armor and directly took it in his hand. When the armor was in his hand, Lu Su's heart sank. It was not because the armor was heavy, but because it was too light. Lu Su estimated that the armor was at most 20 jin.
Lu Su's face was heavy. "You, take off your armor!" Lu Su pointed at a Sun Cejun soldier and said.
"Yes!" Why does the Military Advisor want to take off his armor? The soldier who was pointed at felt strange, but he still took off his armor. He was an ordinary soldier, so naturally, he didn't have much armor on his body. It was just a set of plate armor and some leather. It could only protect his vital parts. For some of the less important parts, such as the arms and thighs, it would be difficult to protect them.
Both sets of armor were in his hand. Lu Su's heart sank. Both his left and right hands were wearing armor, so they were about the same weight. The left hand was an ordinary soldier's armor, so it could only roughly protect the soldier. The right hand was a set of heavy armor. This set of heavy armor basically protected every part of the body. Only the face and the joints were not protected. The rest of the body, including the buttocks, were taken into consideration.
One was a light armor, while the other was a heavy armor. Both of them were about the same weight, which made Lu Su's heart sink. Lu Su didn't feel the weight of the Yu Province Cavalry's armor, but it was definitely not less than 100 jin. It was even heavier with the addition of the sword and spear. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry's armor was less than half of the Yu Province Cavalry's armor, and its defense was even stronger than the Yu Province Cavalry's armor.
What did this mean? This meant that the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was carrying half of the weight to fight against the Yu Province Cavalry. Whether it was the soldiers or the war horses, the Yu Province Cavalry were carrying double the weight. Now that the Yu Province Cavalry was chasing after the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, if Lu Su knew about this earlier, he would definitely not let the Yu Province Cavalry attack. It would be too disadvantageous. The reason why heavy armor was not popularized was because it was heavy. Only strong soldiers could wear it in battle. Ordinary soldiers would have problems walking in it, let alone fighting in it. Now, the Lvbu's Army's heavy armor was about the same weight as the infantry's light armor. If it was mass-produced, Lu Su didn't dare to imagine.
Now, Lu Su could only pray that the Yu Province Cavalry's war horses had better endurance and better quality than the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry's war horses. This way, they could catch up with the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and return with a great victory! After all, the Yu Province Cavalry's war horses were all transported by the sea from Liaodong by Sun Ce. The weaker ones had already died in the sea, leaving only the elites. As for the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, Lu Su didn't think that they could replenish their war horses. Lü Bu had offended both Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. If the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry wanted to get their war horses, they had to go through these two people's territories. It was impossible for Yuan Shao to give Lü Bu war horses. It was even more impossible for Cao Cao and Lü Bu to give them war horses. Therefore, in Lu Su's opinion, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry's war horses were either the old horses left behind by the original Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry or the inferior horses obtained from the nobles' black market. How could they be compared to the good Liaodong horses of the Yu Province Cavalry? Thinking of this, Lu Su felt much better. He ordered the soldiers to take off all the armor from the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. These were all good stuff. The value of a set of heavy armor was no less than that of a war horse. Moreover, this kind of heavy armor was light in weight and strong in defense.
Lu Su wanted to bring it back to study and see if it could be replicated. If the Jiangdong Army had this kind of armor, he could form a large scale heavy armored infantry. This way, he could offset the problem of the lack of war horses in Jiangdong.
"Dong Dong Dong!" The sound of horse hooves could be heard from afar. Accompanied by the neighing of the war horses, Lu Su knew that the outcome of the battle had been decided. The strong smell of blood was carried by the wind, causing Lu Su to frown. Sure enough, huge casualties were unavoidable! The casualties from the previous battle were more than double. Now, Lu Su was prepared for half of the Yuzhou Cavalry to die. However, as long as he could eliminate the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and kill Lü Bu, it would be worth it. They were all heroes of the Jiangdong Army. At the very most, he could ask his Lord to be ruthless and make the nobles bleed. This time, the Jiangdong Army had suffered heavy losses. If the nobles did not do anything, they would not be able to get Lujiang. With another thousand war horses from Liaodong, the Yuzhou Cavalry's combat power would definitely double.
"Dong Dong Dong!" The Yu Province Cavalry that Lu Su regarded as heroes appeared on the horizon. The blood-stained figures, the broken armor, and the exhausted horses all showed the cruelty of this battle.
"Why are there so few of them?" Lu Su opened his eyes wide. Five thousand Yuzhou Cavalry went out and there were only a few hundred left on the horizon. Is the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry really that powerful? Lü Bu is really powerful.
Hundreds of Yu Province Armored Cavalry galloped towards Lu Su's army. These soldiers had a solemn expression on their faces. Some of them were still bleeding from their wounds, but they didn't care about this. There was something called determination in their eyes.
"Huh?" Lu Su felt a little uneasy. These are the Yuzhou Cavalry that returned from a victory! Although the losses were a little heavy, with only a few hundred of the five thousand cavalry remaining, it was still a victory. Their eyes should be filled with the relief of escaping death, the joy of defeating the enemy, and the expectation of future rewards, and not this blood-red. Yes, blood-red killing intent. Could it be that they still have not recovered from their shock? It was no wonder that some soldiers could not recover from the cruelty of the battle. It was because of the death of their comrades, the stimulation of blood, and various other reasons.
"Military advisor, military advisor, look. Look at the war flag!" Just as Lu Su was explaining the situation to the Yuzhou Cavalry, a deputy general said to Lu Su.
War flag? Lu Su frowned. Among these cavalrymen, there was a large war flag that was not raised. Instead, it was hidden among the cavalrymen. What was wrong with the war flag?
"They did not raise the war flag!" The Lieutenant General explained that the battle flag was the guiding sign of an army. Sometimes, the falling of the flag would cause the morale of the allies to plummet. Sometimes, the allies would even misunderstand and flee. Therefore, in the battlefield, there would always be marksmen who would aim at the enemy's flag and shoot it down to reduce the enemy's morale. But now, the Yu Province Cavalry's battle flag was placed horizontally and not erected.
"Maybe they are tired!" The war flag was very heavy. Usually, several soldiers would take turns to carry it. Perhaps they had a difficult victory, so they put down the war flag and prepared to return to camp to rest.
"No, no!" The deputy general did not know how to explain. The black war flag was black. "Military advisor, what is the color of our war flag?"
"Red is the main color and purple is the secondary color!" How could Lu Su not know this? Jiangdong had many naval forces, but they worshipped fire. This was because Jiangdong was part of the original Chu Country. Therefore, the war flag was mainly red.
"But look at that banner, it's black!" The deputy general pointed at the banner in the middle of the cavalry.
"Black!" Lu Su finally knew why he was uneasy. Not to mention the war flag, where were General Zhang Kai and General Taishi Ci? Lu Su didn't see the two of them. Logically speaking, the two of them should be at the front when the army returned victorious. However, Lu Su didn't see them. Even if they died in battle, there should be corpses. But now, the one leading the army was a cavalryman wrapped in a black robe.
"Enemy! They are not the Yuzhou Cavalry. They are the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry! " Lu Su suddenly reacted. He finally knew where the blood in the eyes of the cavalrymen came from. It was the eyes of a hungry wolf that wanted to eat people.
"Enemy attack!" Lu Su's voice thundered. "Set up the formation!" Lu Su was still calm. He knew that he could not escape now. He could only arrange the formation. Only when the infantrymen were united could they stop the cavalrymen's charge.
"Have we been discovered?" Among the Yuzhou Cavalry, a mysterious man wrapped in a black robe said coldly. "Then let's attack! Wolves, let the hunt begin! " The man suddenly tore off the black robe he was wearing, revealing a golden armor covered in blood and holding a golden halberd in his hand.
"Lü Bu! Lü Fengxian! " Lu Su felt as if he had just swallowed a fly. He had been waiting for the victorious Yu Province Cavalry to return, not these bloodthirsty wolves who wanted to devour people.
That's right, these several hundred cavalry were the Bing Province Wolf Cavalry. They were filled with ominous glints. What they wanted was to kill the enemy in front of them. It was because of them that they had lost countless brothers. Out of 1500 wolves, only 400 were left. This enmity must be avenged.
"Raise the flag!" Lu Bu's eyes were also filled with coldness. The wound on his body was bleeding. That's right, he was injured. He was injured in the battle with Taishi Ci and Zhang Kai. Lu Bu paid the price of Taishi Ci's halberd to kill Zhang Kai on the spot. Lu Bu himself was also injured. Taishi Ci's halberd was not something to be trifled with. An injured beast was the most terrifying. Zhang Kai was dead. Taishi Ci originally wanted to intercept Lu Bu alone because the Bing Province Heavy Cavalry was about to be finished. They were already heavily surrounded. Now, the only thing left to do was to kill them. After killing them, the Yu Province Heavy Cavalry would return to their senses and help Taishi Ci.
However, the scene that Taishi Ci didn't want to see the most happened. The horses that were stabbed by the Yuzhou Cavalry couldn't take it anymore. After a long period of running and a fierce battle, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry were wolves. If you want to kill them, you have to be prepared to be bitten by them. How could the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry not see that the horses of the Yuzhou Cavalry couldn't take it anymore?
They directly gave up on attacking the Yuzhou Cavalry. Instead, they sent the sharp weapons in their hands into the mounts of the Yuzhou Cavalry. The Liaodong Horses of the Yuzhou Cavalry were already weak. With this, they were finished. Amidst the long neighs, countless Liaodong Horses died on the spot due to excessive blood loss. The death of the Yuzhou Cavalry caused the Yuzhou Cavalry to fall to the ground. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry didn't even need to do anything. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry's cavalry could trample on the Yuzhou Cavalry and kill them. The seemingly dead Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry suddenly found a way out. At this time, how could they not know how to take advantage of the situation? The death of their comrades and the humiliation of being surrounded made these hungry wolves jealous.
Because the five thousand Yuzhou Cavalry lost their horses, thousands of them were trampled to death. More than a thousand of them were killed. The rest were either crushed to death by their horses or were accidentally injured by their own men. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was like a wolf that fell into a flock of sheep. They charged in all directions and finally forced their way out. Other than Taishi Ci and a few hundred cavalrymen, the rest of the five thousand Yuzhou Cavalry were all killed. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry didn't want any captives. To a cavalry, captives were a burden. They didn't have any infantry to support them. Therefore, none of them were left alive.
After wiping out the Yuzhou Cavalry, Lü Bu's anger didn't subside. He was tricked by Lü Bu and lost two-thirds of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. For animals like wolves, holding a grudge was their biggest trait. It wouldn't be Lü Bu's style if he didn't seek revenge. Therefore, the first row of Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry changed into the Yuzhou Cavalry's armor and put their heavy armor aside. They charged towards Lu Su's army without stopping. As expected, they caught Lu Su unprepared. Who would have thought that five thousand heavy armored cavalrymen would be wiped out by the enemy in the end?
Hundreds of hungry wolves that were blinded by hatred were very powerful. Their horses also changed color during the battle. It was like a nightmare from hell. Lu Su's army didn't even have time to get into formation. Even if they did, they were still mercilessly torn apart by the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry! When a cavalry encountered an infantry in the wilderness that didn't have time to get into formation, one could imagine the outcome. There was no infantry that could cause any damage to the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry's blades were about to be bent. If Lu Su didn't gather the infantry on the hill, he would have been captured alive by Lü Bu in two charges.
Lu Su's face turned pale. He didn't think that he would still be defeated. This was 1,500 Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, not 5,000. If it was 5,000, Lu Su wouldn't even dare to imagine.
"Surrender, or die!" Lü Bu's eyes were red as he looked at Lu Su. Lu Su was a talent. If it wasn't for the war horse and the heavy armor on his body, the 1500 Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry and Lü Bu himself would have died here. This was a talent. If it was in the past, Lü Bu would have killed him directly. But now, he wouldn't do so. He knew the importance of these talents. Although the generals were fierce and the soldiers were strong, they could only attack cities and seize territory. In the end, they still needed to govern. A firm rear was the key to dominating a region and even the world. Moreover, an additional strategist would save a lot of people. For example, Zhuge Liang's Pang Tong and Zhou Yu's fire technique directly destroyed Lao Cao's 800,000 troops on Red Cliff. If Lao Cao's scheming Guo Jia was still around, this scene would not have happened.
Lü Bu only had two and a half people who could be considered as strategists. One was Chen Gong, the other was Yang Hong, and the other was Chen Deng. Chen Gong was a top strategist, but Chen Gong alone could not take care of so many people. Now, Lü Bu was fighting on two fronts. Chen Gong was responsible for Shucheng. Yang Hong was more diplomatic than strategic. Yang Hong could only be considered as a second-rate strategist. As for Chen Deng, if his father was still alive, then Chen Deng and his father would also be first-rate strategists. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to drive Lü Bu out of Xu Province. However, Chen Deng's father was already dead. Chen Deng could only be considered as half a strategist. He did not have his father's ability to see things through. Moreover, Chen Gong was also a general, or rather, a scholarly general. This meant that he would not be able to make much progress in strategizing.
Lü Bu saw this Lu Su. Several times, Wancheng city was almost broken through because of him. Now, Lü Bu was really thirsty for talents.
"Surrender?" Lu Su also sneered. "A loyal minister will not serve two masters! Although I, Lu Su, Lu Zijing, am not as good as the ancient sages, I still have some face. Surrendering is impossible! " "In this era, scholars are very concerned about their reputation. If their old master is not dead, it is impossible for them to change masters. If they do so, people will say that they are disloyal and unrighteous. Take Xu Shu for example. He was imprisoned by Cao Cao in Cao Cao's camp but did not say a word.
"Then go to hell!" Lü Bu also did not want to be long-winded with Lu Su. Since it was not his, then go to hell.
"Die? Haha, Lü Fengxian, you can't take my life! " Although Lu Su lost this battle, he won the whole war. In the end, it was not certain who would have the last laugh.
"Is that so?" Thousands of soldiers were frightened by the attack of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. Lü Bu believed that the battle would be over in two to four hours. "You rely on these soldiers?"
"Yes, I rely on these soldiers!" Lu Su did not back down.
"How long can a bunch of chickens and dogs protect you?"
"Hahaha, Lu Bu, oh Lu Bu, I admit that you are very strong in war and can be called as the God of War in the army. But in strategy, you are inferior to me, Lu Su!" Lu Su has his own pride. "You do not want to know where my lord Sun Ce went!" Lu Su smiled at Lu Bu
"Sun Ce!" Lü Bu stopped the Poseidon Halberd in his hand. He had neglected a problem. Where was Sun Ce? His goal this time was to find Sun Ce and kill Sun Ce. This was what Lü Bu wanted. This was the reason why Lü Bu divided his forces. However, he did not find any sign of Sun Ce. If Sun Ce was here, Lü Bu would not be so sure. Sun Ce was already at the peak of the god refinement realm. With Taishi Ci, even Lü Bu did not have full confidence in winning this battle.
General Sun Ce and Sun Ce's strategist had both appeared. However, there was no sign of Sun Ce. If Sun Ce had appeared somewhere else, Lü Bu would not believe it. Lu Su had set this trap for him to kill him. As long as he was dead, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry would not be a problem. Without the Wolf King, the wolf pack would disperse.
Suddenly, Lü Bu remembered something. His eyes widened as he looked at Lu Su in disbelief. "Oh no!" Lü Bu remembered. At the end, there was a troop under the banner of Sun Ce. Lü Bu thought that it was just Sun Ce's trick. Who would have thought that it was really Sun Ce. Sun Ce was the last one to bring up the rear.
"Only now did you realize it! Don't you think it's a bit late? " Lu Su sneered. "According to the time, my Lord should have already begun to attack Wancheng City! How long do you think those defeated soldiers in Wancheng City can last? "Lu Su finally said his overall plan, which was also his final bet.
That was to use the retreat of the army and Lü Bu's anger towards Sun Ce to chase after Sun Cejun. Indeed, Sun Cejun was defeated and many of his soldiers were killed by the Lü Bu's Army. But so what? Those were the soldiers of the nobles. If they died, then they died! Sun Ce did not care. As long as he had the main force in his hand, he would have a chance to fight. He would use the sacrifice of tens of thousands of soldiers to lure Lü Bu away from Wancheng City.
Originally, he wanted to use the Yuzhou Iron Cavalry to kill Lü Bu. But the Yuzhou Iron Cavalry was defeated by Lü Bu. Lu Su could not help but sigh at the strength of Lü Bu's army, but so what? Overall, Lu Su still won. Capturing Wancheng City was the core of Lu Su's plan. As long as Wancheng City was captured, the provisions of the Lü Bu's Army would be gone. Even the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry could only stare at the tall city. After that, Sun Ce's army would continue to support Wancheng City. At that time, Lü Bu would really be trapped in Lujiang.
"Two hours!" Lu Su looked at his defeated soldiers. "I can still hold on for two hours! But I don't know how long Wancheng City can hold on! "
"Lu Su!" Lü Bu looked deeply at the young scholar. He clenched his halberd tightly. Lu Su was right. He could still hold on for two to four hours, but Wancheng City could not hold on for that long. If Lü Bu chose to kill Lu Su, then Wancheng City would really be lost ~! If Wancheng City was lost, then Lü Bu would lose the entire war. Not to mention, there were still the most important people of Lü Bu in Wancheng City.
"Hand over the heavy armor!" Lu Bu took a deep breath. Then he stared at Lu Su and said in a low voice.
"Heavy armor?"
"The heavy armor of the dead Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry." Lü Bu looked at Lu Su and said.
"Impossible!" How could Lu Su hand over the heavy armor? He wanted to use them to develop new armor. How could he give them away?
"This is the final bottom line!" Lü Bu also could not let the heavy armor of the dead Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry be given away. Liu Mang brought them back from the sky. Each one of them was a treasure of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry. "If you don't hand them over, then we will fight to the death! Wancheng City will be broken! You, Lu Su, will die! "
"You!" Lu Su pointed at Lü Bu and did not know what to say. At this time, Lü Bu was still threatening him. However, Lu Su was really afraid that Lü Bu would do this. This was because Lü Bu was headstrong and self-opinionated. Lü Bu was famous for being impulsive. Even Sun Ce could not compare to him. If he really angered Lü Bu, Lu Su would die young. Lu Su did not want to die. Although he was loyal to Sun Ce, he did not want to die. If he died, what would happen to the Lu family? In this chaotic world, no one cared about friendship. If Lu Su died, the Lu family would definitely be swallowed up by other families.
"Give it to them!" Lu Su waved his hand and reluctantly threw the heavy armor to the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.
"Retreat! Our destination is Wancheng City!" Lü Bu wanted to engrave Lu Su in his mind. It was this young man who wanted to kill him twice.
The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was indeed a hungry wolf from the desert. They quickly organized the heavy armor and quickly left.
