Chapter 314: Lord Meng De, I haven’t seen you for a long time. I miss you so much!

On top of the city wall of Xudu.

Cao Mengde was so shocked by the scene before him that he was speechless.

How precious are cavalry in this era?

Gongsun Zan's three thousand white horse volunteers were able to defeat the million-strong Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou.

Lu Bu led his Bingzhou troops and defeated Cao Cao, leaving him with no place to stand.

Not to mention that Cao Mengde was beaten by Ma Chao's Liang Province cavalry in Tongguan and his robe and beard were cut off.

However, the cost of training a cavalry is extremely high.

In terms of cost alone, one cavalryman is equivalent to five infantrymen.

And the loss is huge...

If the infantry is lost, it will only take a few months to recruit new soldiers.

The loss of cavalry meant that they had to spend a lot of money to buy horses and train riders. Moreover, the food that horses eat is more expensive than that of humans...

Therefore, when Cao Mengde learned that Liu Wu was leading ten thousand cavalrymen, with each man having three or even four horses, he felt very uncomfortable.

Now I see that the cavalry and horses are all wearing heavy armor, what a generous move!

There was no need to make an estimate. Cao Mengde already had a rough idea in his mind. The resources used to support these 10,000 cavalry would be enough to arm 70,000 to 80,000 infantry.

Of course, Cao Mengde also knew that Liu Wu swept through Liang Province and the Western Regions, and the territory he captured was more than ten thousand miles.
Liu Wu could take out 200,000 yuan for these precious horses at once...

Heavy cavalry, a powerful weapon that determined victory or defeat on the battlefields of later generations, was brought onto the stage of history by Liu Wu in advance.

"It's as powerful as a meteor, and the heavy armor is collapsing. How can we stop it?"

"To this extent..."

"Not to mention the Huns, even the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are far inferior!"

The battlefield under the city,
The Huns had no power to resist at all. They couldn't even chop melons or vegetables. They were just plowed over.

After the death of the Huns' Great Khan, the extremely terrified Huns could no longer organize themselves. They dispersed like a tide and ran back desperately.

Not far away is Xudu City.

Under the city of Xudu, there was a square formation of Cao's infantry...

They wanted to flee to Cao's army.
Cao's infantry phalanx should be able to resist...

however,
When Cao Mengde saw the Xiongnu people running towards his army again, a trace of disgust flashed in Cao Mengde's eyes: "Send a message to Zhang He, the infantry outside the city will be the supervisory team."

In a moment,

Zhang He had already received instructions from Boss Cao, and he knew what to do...

“Shoot!!~”

With a big wave,
A dense rain of arrows whizzed past,...

Brush brush brush!! ~
thump,
thump……

Countless Hun cavalrymen fell to the ground, with men and horses thrown to the ground.

They couldn't believe it, how could this happen?
They traveled thousands of miles south, and in order to make a good impression on the King of Wei, they did not even plunder along the way. As soon as they arrived at the city of Xu, they led the vanguard to fight against the King of Chu who was at the peak of his power...

Even his own great Chanyu was killed in the battle.

King of Wei,

Is this how they are treated?
Zhang He rode out on his horse and killed a Xiongnu nobleman who had dodged the rain of arrows with one spear, and then shouted like thunder:

"The front army is fighting, and the rear army is supervising the battle!"

"If you desert a battle, you will be killed without mercy!"

However, compared to Zhang He's warning, the heavy cavalry behind him were much more terrifying...

The Huns did not dare to turn back to fight.

They only dared to run towards Xudu City...

"Shoot!~" Zhang He gave the order!
A second wave of arrows whizzed past.

“Shoot!!~”

“Release it again!!”

"Let go!~"

Wave after wave of arrows were fired, and large numbers of Huns fell.

Looking at the Xiongnu cavalrymen who were like moths to a flame, Cao Mengde on the top of the city could not help but curl his lips: "They would rather rush into the rain of arrows than turn back to fight. They must have been scared out of their wits by Liu Wu..."

"Let Zhang He hold on!!"

Outside Xudu City,

There were countless Huns, with the heavy cavalry of the King of Chu behind them and the infantry phalanx of the King of Wei in front of them. They were being attacked from both sides and their numbers were getting smaller and smaller... "Hold the formation!" In the infantry phalanx, Zhang He desperately deployed his troops.

Because the Huns were fleeing towards this side desperately, more and more of them dodged the rain of arrows, and the front few layers of the phalanx were already thrown into disarray.

But the Huns were fine,
What Zhang He was worried about was the Chu cavalry following the Xiongnu...

Boom!!!~
Like thunder...

The earth is shaking!!!

The heavily armored cavalry rushed over, chasing the Huns...

No, it was the plow that came over, the plow that plowed the ground!

Zhang He turned pale.

He finally understood why the Xiongnu people, who were born on horseback, were so afraid and would rather die under a rain of arrows than fight Liu Wu...

"Block!!"

Zhang He roared,

"It's unstoppable..." A low voice sounded, and the leading cavalryman among the Chu army's heavily armored cavalry raised his head.

Zhang He looked at him and became dazed. The man was wearing armor, a helmet, and an iron mask, so it was impossible to tell who he was...

However, the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand is well known to everyone! !

Gao Shun, a general beside Liu Wu, raised his spear and shouted: "Those who break into the enemy's formation will either die or live!"

“Break through the formation!!”

Then, a sound like the collapse of heaven and earth rang out in Xudu City: "Break the enemy!"

"Break through the enemy's formation!!~"

"Break through the enemy's formation!!!~"

When the last Hun trapped between the Chu and Wei armies fell, the Chu cavalry smashed into the Wei army's phalanx.

Liu Wu did not charge in first, but formed a formation and rushed in.

There were more than a hundred riders joining him...

Almost in an instant,

Five rows of infantry were knocked back.

Sixth row!
Seventh row!
Eighth row!
More and more heavy cavalrymen fell, and their positions were directly taken by the cavalrymen in the rear...

Ninth row!
The tenth row...

……

Thirteenth row!

The number of Liu Wu's heavy cavalrymen had been reduced by nearly one-fifth, but the momentum of their advance was still there!
boom! ! ~
Zhang He was knocked over.

"It's like being back to the Xiling City back then!" Gao Shun's voice was trembling, he couldn't suppress his excitement.

He advanced side by side with Liu Wu and fought at the forefront. Zhang He wanted to stop them but was knocked off his horse by Gao Shun.

"At that time, it was you who led the Xianzhen Camp and sent me on my way to meet Cao Mengde." Liu Wu said lightly, his thoughts seemed to have returned to the past.

"This time I will not escort you halfway. I will escort you directly to Cao Mengde!"

"Kill!!" Gao Shun roared and rushed forward!

Fifteenth row...

Sixteenth row...

Seventeenth row!!
"Is it really impossible to stop it?!!"

On the top of the city wall, Cao Mengde was trembling all over!
Damn it!
Inside the city of Xudu, the emperor put up a desperate resistance.

We are about to be defeated outside the city and cannot resist. If this goes on, I'm afraid there will be a mutiny in the city within a day or two.

“Stop it!!”

Cao Mengde had already stuck his head out of the city wall, and he didn't care about the King of Wei's dignity: "Stop it!!"

"Block!!"

Seventeenth row...

Eighteenth row...

Nineteenth row!!
Twenty… When the last row of infantrymen’s defense line was breached, Liu Wu immediately drew his bow, whoosh! ~
This was not the first time Cao Mengde had encountered such a thing. He reacted promptly and dodged in time...

however,
Snapped! ~
The hair broke directly.

Cao Mengde's hair was disheveled in fear and his face was pale...

At this time,
Liu Wu, who had already defeated all the enemies outside the city, took off his helmet and said to Cao Mengde, who was still in shock on the top of the city wall: "Mr. Mengde, I haven't seen you for a long time. I missed you so much!"
