Chapter 198: The Concept of Cavalry

ps: I forgot to post today's draft, my apologies.

————————————————————————————————————

Jiang Yiqu observed the situation where Zhong Shen was surrounded very clearly.

Jiang Yiqu swiftly gave orders for the vice general to mobilize a thousand cavalry to support Zhong Shen. Zhong Shen also seized the opportune moment to prepare for a breakout with the reinforcements sent by Jiang Yiqu. However, Cao Chun had no intention of letting Zhong Shen escape so easily.

Is the formation of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry something you can come and go as you please?

"Units Three and Four, release the crossbows!"

Cao Chun smirked coldly; the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry not only excelled in close combat but also possessed handheld crossbows!

Hundreds of crossbow arrows shot out, heading straight for Zhong Shen and the two hundred riders behind him.

Zhong Shen was shocked; he had just fought against the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and had no idea that they possessed hand crossbows as well. Every arrow stuck into the bodies of Yuan army cavalry. Zhong Shen himself had been hit by four or five arrows, and half of his cavalry behind him had fallen off their horses. Including those who were shot, there were only about a hundred Yuan soldiers left who could still sit on their horses.

"Three units, four units, continuous shooting!"

Cao Chun waved his flag, directing the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry with ease. Another wave of arrows flew, although Zhong Sheng and the cavalry behind him had taken precautions, they were like live targets on horseback and couldn't dodge at all. Fortunately, the reinforcements sent by Jiang Yiqu acted swiftly and arrived by Zhong Sheng's side, pulling him back into the Yuan army formation.

As he left, Zhong Shen looked at Cao Chun with deep resentment, as if engraving his face in his mind.

Seeing the disheveled appearance of Zhong Shen, with several crossbow bolts embedded in his body, although his injuries did not seem severe, Jiang Yiqu couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the remaining number of five hundred riders that returned with Zhong Shen.

It is rumored that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry can defeat the elite cavalry of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Flying Bear Army even when outnumbered. Both of these cavalry forces are widely recognized as the best in the world. Jiang Yiqu underestimated the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, but he couldn't have imagined their formidable combat strength. They were able to successfully repel top-tier warrior Zhang Shen without relying on talented generals. Jiang Yiqu's five hundred cavalry troops suffered heavy losses and only a few dozen managed to return, which can even be considered a rout. If it weren't for reinforcements, they may have been completely surrounded.

"The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is indeed powerful," murmured Jiang Yiqu.

Meanwhile, Zhong Shen couldn't contain himself any longer and directly pulled out the crossbow bolt lodged in his body and threw it onto the ground. Please let me know if there's anything else I can assist you with.

"Yi Qu! We can't procrastinate any longer! Our goal is not to defeat the Tiger Cavalry! Our goal is to save our lord! Even if we can't win, we should at least provide cover for our lord to escape!"

Jiang Yiqu heard this and frowned slightly, then his eyes lit up. He patted Zhong Shen's shoulder and said, "Kid, you're really smart!"

"Spread my command! Cavalry, charge together with me, infantry, block the enemy at all costs! Don't worry about casualties, give everything to attack the enemy's main formation!"

The instructions were delivered. Although some of the officers and generals of the Yuan army were puzzled, they were willing to go crazy and take risks because it involved the safety of their lord.

Cao Chun could see that the Yuan army was charging towards them without any regard for casualties. His eyes flickered as he pondered for a moment and understood the plot of Jiang Yiqu.

No, it should be said, it's a plot!

The actions of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were clearly meant to intercept the Yuan army and prevent anyone from disturbing the battle between the two on the mountain. It's evident that Cao Cao must have the upper hand, otherwise Cao Chun wouldn't be at ease with his lord fighting against Yuan Shao on the mountain.

既然如此,蒋义渠索性就不和曹纯耗下去了。他们人多,有数千步军的牵制,他们剩下的四千骑总能冲上去点儿吧。再不济,只要能掩护钟绅这个一流猛将上山,一切就都不好说了。

This is forcing Cao Chun to change his formation. If you dare not change your formation, I will be able to send reinforcements to support my lord!

In this case, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry must do their utmost to intercept them, and thus cannot continue to use their chariots to attack.

If fierce beasts like tigers and leopards do not launch an attack and solely focus on defense, their potential threat remains significant but the damage inflicted by enemies will be greatly reduced.

"Soldiers, change the formation! Stop them! Do not allow a single soldier to advance!"

Since Caocao knew that it was a conspiracy, Caochun acted decisively and disbanded the Chexuan formation.

Originally, the Chexuan formation, which required continuous running, was not suitable for heavy cavalry, especially for the exhausted Tiger and Leopard Cavalry who had already traveled a long distance. Caochun's adoption of the Chexuan formation was equivalent to burning bridges behind him. If Caocao were to be defeated, the fatigue caused by the Chexuan formation would be exposed for the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and it is likely that they would not be able to escape the fate of complete annihilation.

"Tiger and leopard cavalry!"

"Only I am the strongest!"

Cao Chun is certainly not silly enough to let the tiger and leopard cavalry solely focus on defense.

The best defense is always a strong offense!

Cao Chun simply has the tiger and leopard cavalry establish a defensive line, while he commands a mobile unit in the rear as the quick-response force. Whichever side faces the greatest pressure from enemy attacks, Cao Chun launches a counterattack in that direction.

The tiger and leopard cavalry, occupying the high ground, charged down from above with great force, aided by their heavy armor and horse armor. They were virtually unstoppable, resembling massive boulders rolling down a mountain. And when they turned around after the charge, the tiger and leopard cavalry who had established a defensive line would shoot crossbow arrows into the bodies of the Yuan soldiers attempting to pursue them.

Cao Chun suddenly felt that the Tiger Leopard Cavalry should undergo some reforms.

In terrains like this, heavy cavalry charging down would be unstoppable, but if there is a light cavalry unit above, the effect would not be inferior, and they can easily return to the defense line without needing to be covered.

若是这支轻骑还会骑射,一边游走,一边向追击自己的敌人放箭,甚至减慢速度等待他们追上来,给他们追上的希望,不断放箭消耗敌军的体力,同时还能有效杀敌。等到敌人体力不支的时候,如果再来一支重骑兵冲杀疲惫的敌军,那么。。。。。。

曹纯越想越兴奋,都有些走神了,一杆长枪向他的面门刺来他都没有反应过来,幸好一旁的副将替他荡开那杆长枪,否则后果不堪设想。

After Cao Chun realized what had happened, he cast a grateful look towards the deputy general, and immediately rushed into the crowd.

Decided, after defeating Yuan Shao, I will find Mengde and consult with him about this matter!
