Five thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry launched a charge, but instead of charging straight at the enemy's center, they rushed towards the flanks of the Cheshi cavalry, with two hundred of Lü Bu's personal guards following behind him.
After several months of careful care in Dunhuang, the warhorses of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry not only did not become thinner, but became much stronger and more robust after a winter, and their running added a touch of earth-shattering momentum.
On the other hand, the morale of the Cheshi cavalry had plummeted after Lü Bu had killed six of their generals.
Especially the Cheshi cavalry on both sides, when faced with the charging Bingzhou wolf cavalry, did not have the slightest intention to resist, and even their warhorses were frightened and restless.
Before the battle even began, the flanks of the Cheshi cavalry were already showing signs of disarray.
At the same time, seeing Lü Bu charging towards their side alone, Ti Lü panicked and shouted, "Who will kill him?"
quiet! !
Ti Lu looked around and found that no one dared to step forward to confront him. Everyone turned their heads away, not daring to meet his gaze. Lü Bu's bravery just now had truly frightened them.
As Lü Bu drew closer, Ti Lu's fear grew ever stronger.
In a short while, Lü Bu had covered less than two hundred paces. Ti Lü's heart finally broke down, and without thinking, he turned his horse around and ran away.
As the saying goes: "An incompetent general can cause the death of an entire army."
As soon as Ti Lu ran, his personal guards and generals followed behind.
The surrounding Cheshi cavalry, seeing this, thought, "Hey, they've all run away, so I'll run too..."
The scene was like a lion chasing a herd of wildebeest in the animal kingdom, with the Cheshi cavalry running forward in disarray and Lü Bu chasing after them alone.
To be honest, Lü Bu had fought quite a few battles, but this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. These guys from the Western Regions were even weaker than he had imagined.
During the chase, Lü Bu quickly took out a large bow and a feathered arrow. As the bowstring vibrated, the arrow flew like a meteor straight towards Ti Lü's back.
In a panic, Tilu heard a whooshing sound as he fell from his horse, felt a sharp pain in his back, and then fell to the ground.
The blood-red BMW, now without its owner, slowed down.
Lu Bu's face lit up with joy. He immediately spurred his horse forward and, without hesitation, abandoned his original mount, leaping onto the back of the blood-red steed.
The blood-red steed, which had just been liberated, hadn't even had a chance to run wild before it felt itself being ridden again. It immediately became unhappy, raised its hooves, and began to gallop, trying to throw Lü Bu off.
"Haha~, you beast!"
Seeing that the other party not only did not obey but also began to struggle, Lü Bu became even more excited, and couldn't help but recall the scene when he first tamed the mount that his master had given him.
Lu Bu squeezed his legs together tightly, as if he were glued to the horse's back. No matter how much the blood-red steed struggled, he never left its saddle.
The crimson steed immediately galloped off towards the army of Cheshi, while Lü Bu remained firmly seated on his horse, wielding his halberd and wreaking havoc on all sides.
This blood-red steed was purchased by the King of Cheshi from a merchant in Dayuan at a great cost as a coming-of-age gift for his son. Even within Dayuan, it was a rare and exquisite steed, its size exceeding that of a robust Xiliang warhorse by half a head.
The exceptionally swift steed, combined with Lü Bu clad in golden armor, formed an extremely terrifying killing machine. In the midst of the charge, more than a dozen Cheshi cavalrymen were either knocked off their horses by the steed or killed by Lü Bu with a single halberd strike.
Riding on his blood-red steed, Lü Bu was like a whale charging into a school of fish, causing the surrounding Cheshi cavalry to flee in terror from this Han general who seemed like a god.
At the same time, Lu Bu's two hundred personal guards also rushed up and followed behind Lu Bu, continuously reaping the lives of the Cheshi cavalry.
The wolf riders who charged to both sides, when they were 150 paces away from the Cheshi cavalry, had their crossbowmen pull the triggers first.
One crossbow, five arrows, 1,500 soldiers, that's 7,500 arrows.
The whistling rain of arrows, like locusts, swarmed into the ranks of the Cheshi cavalry, and in an instant, more than a thousand Cheshi cavalrymen fell to the ground, riddled with arrows.
After the crossbowmen attacked, the horse archers following behind immediately rode forward, nocked their arrows, and the crossbowmen began loading their arrows.
Thus, in the chase, the crossbowmen and archers of Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry constantly clashed, using their bows and arrows to wear down the flanks of the Cheshi cavalry.
Some Cheshi cavalrymen charged at the wolf riders unwillingly, but they were killed by the lancers as soon as they got close.
They were shot to death when they ran, and stabbed to death when they resisted. They wanted to stop and surrender, but they were afraid of being trampled to death. At this time, the Cheshi cavalry on both flanks were also completely destroyed by the Bingzhou wolf cavalry.
The Cheshi cavalry on both flanks immediately spurred their horses and scattered, exposing the five thousand cavalry in the center to the wolf riders' attack range.
On the other side, the central army, now without the command of Ti Lü, was in complete chaos. Soldiers scattered and dodged in all directions, jostling each other. Countless cavalrymen who were knocked off their horses were trampled to death by their own men's horses.
At the same time, the wolf riders who had broken through the flanks of Cheshi also surrounded the central army of Cheshi. In an instant, more than a thousand Cheshi cavalrymen died under the rain of arrows.
Behind them was the god of war Lü Bu and his two hundred personal guards, and on both sides were wolf knights who could not get close. The Cheshi cavalry, surrounded in the middle, had no choice but to rush back the way they came.
They hadn't run far when the Cheshi infantry, following behind the Cheshi cavalry, came into view.
