"The Ferocious Cavalry is done for!" Guo Jia looked at the two forces clashing under the Mizar Gate. He knew that the Ferocious Cavalry was finished. Their commander, Cao Chun, was dead. If it was just a simple death, then it would be fine. After all, the Ferocious Cavalry were the elites of the elites. Their mentality was that they would definitely be able to display their greatest strength in the absence of their commander.
But now, Guo Jia smiled wryly. Cao Chun's death was too horrifying. He was nailed to the ground by a spear. The spear had taken root in the ground so that Cao Chun wouldn't fall down even if he was dead. He looked like a statue.
The look of fear and terror on his face was still there, and his body was still as if he was about to flee.
Wasn't this telling others that this was the result of going against Lü Bu?
"Lü Bu, Lü Bu!" Guo Jia muttered to himself. Could that man really fight against the whole world by himself?
"Military Advisor, now?" Xu Chu and the other generals looked at Guo Jia. Lao Cao had already fainted. Guo Jia was the only one in charge now.
"Now?" Guo Jia was also in a dilemma. Should he lead the army and drown the Lü Bu's Army with 100,000 soldiers? Or should he beat the gong to retreat?
After calming down, Guo Jia had an idea. "Where is the archery unit?" Guo Jia waved the feather fan in his hand and asked.
"The archery unit is ready!" A general on the side shouted.
"Aim at the cavalry in front. Shoot!" Guo Jia gave the order without hesitation.
"Military Advisor, what are you doing?" The cavalry in front was not only the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, but also the Ferocious Cavalry. Although their commander was dead, there were still nearly a thousand Ferocious Cavalry soldiers.
If they were to shoot, they would not be able to distinguish between friend and foe. Every Ferocious Cavalry soldier was Cao Jun's elite. They were all selected from the various battalions. They were all their fellow soldiers. Some of them were even recognized by everyone.
"Shoot!" Guo Jia turned his head and looked at the generals below with a cold expression and said.
"But!" Some people wanted to retort, but they found that Guo Jia's expression had become even colder. Although Guo Jia was only a scholar, he was a strategist who could cause tens of thousands of casualties. Therefore, Guo Jia's blood was no lighter than those generals.
"Pull your weapons to the maximum. Aim at the cavalry in front of us. Shoot!" The general of the archery unit shouted.
"Yes!" The entire archery unit took out their longbows and nocked their arrows. "Far Shot!"
Swish! Swish! Arrows rained down from the sky like a torrential downpour. Arrows could only injure the outermost layer of soldiers, but projectile arrows were different. The projectile arrows would first fly into the sky, and then fall vertically under the influence of gravity. The huge gravitational force made them even more lethal.
"Ah!"
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! "
"Raise your shields!" Zhang Liao shouted again.
Everyone from the Wolf Cavalry once again raised the huge shield on the other side of their mounts. The shield was able to protect all the cavalrymen inside, but there were still some Wolf Cavalrymen who fell down. It wasn't because the shield couldn't withstand the arrows, but because they used the shield to protect their horses. Perhaps it was a huge shield for a person, but it was completely different when the horse was protected by the shield.
From time to time, there were some Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry soldiers who were hit by arrows. However, there were still some that were not fatal. These Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry soldiers endured the pain. Their eyes shone brightly as blood flowed out. This made them even more bloodthirsty.
"Kill!" A Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry soldier's eyes turned red because the horse he was sitting on had been hit by a few arrows. Although it did not die on the spot, it was unlikely that it could be saved in this battle. It could only be killed as horse meat. To the cavalry, horses were their second life. They were brothers and fellow soldiers. Moreover, they heard that Sir Liu Mang, who saved their general, had almost died when he brought back these horses. Therefore, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry cherished these horses even more.
"Ahhh!" The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry soldiers had huge shields to protect them. However, the Ferocious Leopard Cavalry soldiers were not so lucky. Their armor could not block the arrows at all. One arrow after another entered their armor. The Ferocious Leopard Cavalry soldiers were like fish on a chopping board. They did not have the strength to resist.
"Military Advisor?!" The generals at the side saw their former comrades and soldiers dying under their own arrows. All of their eyes turned red. For example, if it was not for Xu Chu blocking in front of Guo Jia, the generals from the Xiahou Family would have already attacked.
Guo Jia looked at the cavalry in front of him expressionlessly. "Huge shields, long spears? Fine horses? What kind of cavalry are these? Heavy armored cavalry?! " Guo Jia hesitated. If they were heavy armored cavalry, they would not have such speed. Heavy armored cavalry could only charge a few times. After charging, not only would the horses lose their fighting power, even the people under heavy armor would not be able to withstand it.
The Ferocious Leopard Cavalry soldiers in front could no longer hold on. They could no longer withstand the high intensity battle under heavy armor. They were tired, and so were their horses. Some of the horses even collapsed from exhaustion. However, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry did not feel tired at all. Guo Jia saw that their horses were full of horsepower. What was going on?
Guo Jia himself could not see clearly.
Looking at the countless casualties of the Ferocious Leopard Cavalry, Guo Jia's heart softened. "Raise the flag and let the Ferocious Leopard Cavalry retreat!" Guo Jia did not let the 100,000 soldiers charge forward together. This was because he knew that if the entire army moved together, they might be able to hold back Lü Bu. However, against such heavy armored cavalry, Lao Cao's army would need to throw in at least 30,000 more men. There were already 20,000 casualties in the siege. If they lost another 30,000, then even if Xu Province was conquered, they would not be able to defend. Not to mention, there was still a ferocious beast eyeing Hebei.
"Cao Jun wants to retreat?!" Lü Bu looked towards the direction of the camp. Cao Cao had already disappeared from the commanding platform. There was only a scholar left. Was that Guo Jia? The legendary genius?
Lu Bu sneered twice. Let me, the God of War, deal with you, the demon genius.
Lü Bu waved his halberd and ordered the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry to let go of the Ferocious Leopard Cavalry and retreat. Lü Bu no longer had any interest in the Ferocious Leopard Cavalry. Although Cao Cao's cavalry was elite and was not much weaker than the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry in the past, the current Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry had already changed. Those who were able to survive under Cao Cao's encirclement were all experienced soldiers. They were the cream of the crop. Any one of them would not be any weaker than a lieutenant.
In addition, Hanyang brought good horses, heavy armor, spears, and shields. It could be said that if the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry did not reach 10,000, they would not be able to defeat 10,000.
"Hanyang?!" Lü Bu frowned. He was still thinking about Liu Mang, who was still unknown to the Ferocious Leopard Cavalry.
"Cao Cao! Cao Mengde?! " The killing intent in Lü Bu's eyes increased. "Didn't you want Lü Bu's life? Then come and try this fierce tiger's counterattack! " “
"All troops, counterattack!" Lu Bu shouted while brandishing his halberd.
The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry did not have any hesitation. The scattered Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry quickly gathered together. Facing a battalion commander of 100,000 soldiers, no matter how elite the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was, they would not be able to break through. They might even be trapped and die in battle. However, no one doubted Lü Bu because he was Lü Bu. In terms of cavalry, no one in this world could compare to Lü Bu.
"Lü Bu? What are you trying to do?! " Guo Jia saw Lü Bu let go of the incomplete Ferocious Leopard Cavalry and charge towards him.
"3,000 against 100,000?!" Guo Jia's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. "It's time for the fierce tiger to pull out its teeth!" Guo Jia also waved the command flag in his hand. The war machine of the 100,000 soldiers began to dance.
"Shield bearers in the front, spearmen in the back, archers at the back!" Once cavalry lost their mobility, they would be dead soldiers.
Guo Jia made his preparations for the decisive battle with Lü Bu.
"Hmph?!" Lü Bu sneered. Guo Jia ah Guo Jia, I, Lü Fengxian, may not be your opponent in terms of scheming, but on the battlefield, let me teach you a lesson!
"Flank, invade!" The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry that was originally charging towards Cao Jun suddenly changed direction and charged towards Guo Jia's flank.
"Flank? Do you really think that I, Guo Fengxiao, have an undeserved reputation?! " Guo Jia looked at the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry that was charging towards his flank. "Flank, pull back! Spearmen, move out!" Guo Jia waved the command flag again. "Archers, get ready! Target the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry's horses! Shoot quickly!"
Guo Jia could tell with a single glance that the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry's cavalry might be useless against them, but they were protected by armor. However, what about the horses? As long as the arrows hit the horses, the cavalry would be thrown off their horses and turned into minced meat.
"Lü Bu, let me see what you're capable of!"
