Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

Chapter 595 The gap between cavalry

On the southern skyline of the battlefield, smoke and dust rose, blocking out the sky and the sun. As the earth trembled, countless figures emerged from the smoke and dust, coming over the mountains and plains.

They are the back-up men that Ma Su had prepared from the station, the Han Liangzhou cavalry led by Shu Ji!

This group of Han cavalry is the majority of the Han family and was formed from the beginning of the First Northern Expedition.

After ten years of development and military reform, this branch has expanded to tens of thousands of people. Moreover, after Ma Su's reforms, the entire army replaced high-bridge saddles and stirrups with horseshoes, transforming from shock cavalry into powerful light cavalry!

These 10,000 cavalry were the surprise that Ma Su had prepared for Wei Jun from the very beginning. Especially since Cao Wei now only has one horse-producing area in Youzhou, the Liangzhou cavalry's attack on it has increased exponentially.

"Charge the whole army! Make great achievements today!" Shu Ji himself rode at the front, waving his saber and shouted. Under its roar, 10,000 cavalry launched an all-out charge towards the Wei army's flank!

At this time, all the loopholes that Fei Yao had been reminding Tian Yu of were suddenly exposed.

Because Tian Yu transferred the heavy infantry to the left wing, although the right wing suppressed Jiang Wei in numbers, it was impossible to achieve a quick victory. The huge size of the right wing completely exposed its flanks to the Han army's cavalry!

Tian Yu himself had already keenly sensed that something was wrong when he felt the earth trembling. But when he turned around, he found that Fei Yao had already fled with his entire unit.

After all, he came from Kansai, so he didn't know when Ma Su would make a big move. So without waiting for Tian Yu's reaction, Fei Yao had already taken the first step to protect Gao Rou.

"Coward!" Tian Yu gritted his teeth, looking at the battered left wing, then at the endangered right wing, and finally said through gritted teeth,

"Order the Youzhou cavalry to quickly rescue the right wing and intercept the Shu army's cavalry charge! At the same time, send an order to the right wing troops to stop entangled with the Shu army and retreat quickly!"

"Move quickly! If the cavalry breaks through the military formation, it will be a massacre!"

Tian Yu, who has been stationed in Saibei all year round, is obviously very aware of the lethality of cavalry. When the infantry formation is broken by the cavalry, the only thing waiting for the infantry is the saber that may appear above their heads at any time!

The cavalry's high mobility is destined to crush the infantry in all directions. It is precisely because of this that the cavalry is called the king of soldiers in the world!

So at this time, only by investing his own wealth... six thousand Youzhou cavalry, could he possibly save the critical right wing.

However, Tian Yu has been out of touch with the times for too long, and he has no idea what the current combat power of the Han army has reached.

In particular, most of the thousands of Youzhou cavalry under Tian Yu's command are shock cavalry who have not yet been equipped with stirrups. The Han army is a light cavalry that has been fully equipped and trained for a long time!

There was a generational difference in combat power between the two sides from the beginning. When the assault cavalry faced the light cavalry, they had no chance other than filling the gap with numbers.

But it is a pity that Tian Yu is not only inferior in equipment, but also completely outnumbered in numbers.

So, under Tian Yu's horrified eyes, the Youzhou Cavalry he was so proud of stood in the front and was crushed by the Han cavalry with almost no resistance! The assault cavalry at the front turned over and fell off their horses as if they were being chopped down.

Those who reacted a little faster later quickly turned around and ran away, trying to avoid this torrent of cavalry. However, Youzhou's horses were not as powerful as Xiliang's horses in terms of explosive power, so the surviving Youzhou cavalry could only watch in despair as they were submerged little by little in the torrent of cavalry.

The six thousand Youzhou cavalry were almost completely wiped out before they could even delay the Han army for a single stick of incense.

However, the momentum of the Han army was not affected at all, and with an overwhelming force, it pressed on the flank of the 60,000 Wei army!

There was no suspense. The Wei army's formation, which was retreating in chaos and terrified, could not stop the Han cavalry charge. Countless Han cavalry quickly broke through the Wei army's formation, and the light of their sabers shone on the heads of every Wei soldier!

Lost! The Wei army was defeated without any suspense and surprisingly quickly. After the right wing was overwhelmed, tens of thousands of soldiers began a rout.

The Han cavalry from behind chased and chopped down, while the people in front followed in the confusion and trampled on them. Countless soldiers died not from the sabers of the Han army, but from the feet of their own people.

But even so, the panicked Wei soldiers were still trying their best to squeeze forward. The entire right wing eventually turned into what Tian Yu feared most, and turned into a one-sided massacre!

"The whole army retreats!" Tian Yu ordered urgently, intending to make a final save. But before he could finish shouting, an arrow hit the handsome flag behind him.

Shuai Qi was overwhelmed and collapsed, which also indicated that Wei Jun's last inner support was gone. The left wing of the Wei army, which had been riddled with holes, also collapsed, and the entire army fell into chaos.

Under such a situation, Tian Yu obviously couldn't outrun Long Wu Yicong, who had been chasing him. Finally, in the chaos of the army, the armored cavalry of Longwuyi Cong surrounded Tian Yu.

"You are the coach of the pseudo-Wei, right? I heard that you have an old relationship with the late emperor?" Ma Di looked at the old man who was more than ten years older than himself and asked calmly.

"You are Ma Su..." Tian Yu looked at the irreversible defeat, then looked at the armored cavalry surrounding him, with a hint of bitterness at the corner of his mouth.

Probably, I am really old and have become moldy in Saibei. He has long been unable to intervene in the war in the Central Plains. He should not have come back from the beginning...

"I am Tian Yu, General of the Northern Wei Dynasty. I had some friendship with Xuande Gong in the past." Tian Yu shook his head and answered Ma Di's question with a wry smile.

"But don't worry about that friendship. I am Wei General now. Since I lost, I should die."

"Come and do it, give me a good time!"

"Holy shit! It's actually Tian Guorang!" When Ma Di heard the name, he almost fell off his horse in shock.

This guy was the one who conquered Liu Bei when he was still Prime Minister of Pingyuan! Such a living fossil of the Three Kingdoms actually happened to me!

"So does anyone in Shu Han recognize this old bone like me..." Tian Yu shook his head gently,

"But don't expect me to surrender. A loyal minister has nothing to do with the two masters. I am Wei Chen now."

"Don't say that, Senior Tian. You are a great talent that the late emperor has always cared about. Naturally, I will not hurt you." Ma Di was not going to let such a great talent go, especially one who was a capable person from Liu Bei's era.

For such a highly respected person, even if he spends money there to retire, it will be a huge wealth!

"No need, I just had a little friendship with Xuande Gong in the past, it doesn't mean anything." Tian Yu was obviously very stubborn, he drew his sword directly and said,

"Since you are unwilling to take action, I might as well commit suicide and ask Xuande Gong's son for me..."

Before he finished speaking, Ma Di suddenly galloped to Tian Yu's side and hit Tian Yu with a stick.

Tian Yu was old after all, and he was knocked unconscious by Ma Su.

"If we ask you to follow us, just follow us. It's really a mess!" Ma Su rolled his eyes, then looked at the dumbfounded Ma Zhong and snorted coldly.

"What are you doing standing still? Quickly escort the old man from Guorang back!"

"The rest of you, follow me and continue chasing!"
