Chapter 105: Liu Wu defeated Cao’s army of , and the treacherous civil and military officials of Xuzhou panicked

On the battlefield, Liu Wu smashed Han Sui to pieces with the King Yu’s Spear in his hand, causing blood to spurt out and he died on the spot, shocking the entire audience.

Ma Teng was also killed by Han Sui in the blink of an eye, feeling unbelievable. However, the pain of tearing his arms made Ma Teng conscious. When he saw Liu Wu’s eyes turned to him, Ma Teng’s soul was horrified and his hair stood on end.

escape!
escape!
With many years of experience in battlefield fighting and superb riding skills, Ma Teng did not hesitate at all. With the help of the terrifying force of Liu Wugang’s attack, he turned his horse’s head and immediately galloped towards the army.

Ma Teng didn’t understand why Liu Wu had such terrifying strength.

However, not understanding is not understanding.

If anyone were to encounter the supernatural power and bravery that Liu Wu just displayed, his life would definitely be in danger.

He has been friends with Han Sui for many years and knows clearly that although Han Sui’s martial power is not as good as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, he is also a fierce general in the army. The two of them together are no match for Liu Wu. It’s too scary. Even if Lu Bu were alive, he probably wouldn’t be so powerful, right?
“Want to run? Where to run!”

Liu Wu saw that Han Sui had been killed by him and Ma Teng was about to run away, so he was unwilling to do so. However, Ma Teng’s reaction was too fast, and the warhorse under his crotch was also an excellent warhorse. Even if he chased him, he would not be able to intercept him. Liu Wu immediately put his weapon on the horse’s back, took out his bow and arrow, and drew the bow and put an arrow on it.

“go with!”

Liu Wu shot an arrow, and the arrow broke through the air at a high speed. However, Ma Teng was always paying attention to Liu Wu’s movements. When the arrow broke through the air, he twisted his body suddenly.

“Ah~”

A shrill sound was heard. Even though Ma Teng dodged quickly, Liu Wu’s arrow was too fast and it still grazed his scalp, tearing off a piece of it. Ma Teng screamed, holding his head which was bleeding profusely, and fled on his horse.

“Oh, you’re lucky!”

When Liu Wu saw Ma Teng running away, he snorted coldly, but did not worry about it, because a large number of soldiers had already caught up with him.

“All soldiers, follow me and kill Cao Chun!” Liu Wu raised the King Yu’s Spear and pointed at Cao Chun, who was stunned and in disbelief in the distance and had already joined the Cao cavalry, and shouted.

“Kill Cao Chun! Kill Cao Chun!”

“Kill Cao Chun! Kill Cao Chun!”

As Liu Wu killed Han Sui in a short period of time and injured Ma Teng, two main generals of Cao’s army, with one arrow, the morale of his army soared.

kill!

Liu Wu led the way, followed closely by Zhang Fei, followed by three thousand Mongolian heavy cavalry wearing iron-red armor, and then about seventeen thousand light cavalry.

“Stop them!”

“The front troops charge forward!”

Cao Chun yelled in rage. It was obvious that Liu Wu’s heroic performance caught him off guard. He retreated while loudly conveying orders.

Rumble~
Under Cao Chun’s command, countless Cao cavalrymen in the front row also moved, raising their knives, swords, guns, spears and other miscellaneous weapons and charging forward.

Although the powerful military force displayed by Liu Wu was shocking, this was a war. Although individual strength was important, it was impossible to impact an army.

Soon, outside Puyang City, shouts of killing shook the sky, and the two armies rushed towards each other.

The three thousand Mongolian heavy cavalry led by Liu Wu were like a steel torrent, and they charged forward first.

Liu Wu rode first and charged into the formation of Cao’s cavalry. Yu Wang’s spear was like a mad dragon, with a whistling sound, and it smashed into a Cao’s cavalry. The cavalry felt an irresistible force coming at him, and the whole person was smashed and flew out, and fell down with the horse, splashing a cloud of dust.

Then, Liu Wu’s Bi Yan Chao Tian Lao swung out like lightning, accurately hooking the throat of another Cao army cavalryman. The cavalryman only had time to let out a brief scream before he died, his body fell from the horse and was trampled into meat paste by the following horses’ hooves.

The Cao army cavalry fell off their horses one after another under Liu Wu’s weapons. Their weapons and armor were as vulnerable as paper under Liu Wu’s fierce attack. Liu Wu’s Yu Wang Spear and Bi Yan Chao Tian Lao seemed to have turned into sickles of death, constantly reaping the lives of Cao army cavalry.

On the battlefield, Liu Wu’s figure was like a black lightning. Wherever he passed, all who stood in his way died. His powerful and domineering bravery instantly frightened the surrounding Cao cavalry, and made Pang Tong on the tower completely relieved.

Leading the charge, Liu Wu killed a dozen Cao cavalrymen in a blink of an eye. He was simply invincible. His bravery even made Zhang Fei behind him amazed.

At this time, the 3,000 Mongolian heavy cavalry carefully trained by Liu Wu had already encountered Cao’s cavalry.

The next scene instantly diverted the attention of Pang Tong, the officers and soldiers, and everyone else on the Puyang tower from Liu Wu.

I saw three thousand heavy cavalrymen wearing iron-red armor, wearing sophisticated heavy armor. When Cao’s army chopped them down, sparks flew?

Unable to break the defense.

Then, the heavy cavalry struck back with a knife, and the Cao cavalry screamed and bled profusely in an instant.

The cavalry under Liu Wu were all equipped with the three treasures of horses. They stepped on double stirrups, which made man and horse one. They borrowed the power of the horse and could stay firmly on the horse’s back even if they were hit by a knife from the opponent. However, they turned around and hit the opponent hard. Without the support of double stirrups, the cavalry of Cao’s army immediately fell off their horses due to external impact, or fell to the ground with screams and were trampled into meat paste.

The three thousand Mongolian heavy cavalry cooperated closely, their spears were like a forest, their swords were like frost, their sabers were like lightning, and their bows and arrows were like the wind. Wherever they passed, Cao’s cavalry fell off their horses one after another, and none of them could stop their edge.

The powerful heavy cavalry, under the leadership of Liu Wu, charged forward by inertia and cleared a large area like pushing wheat. The Mongolian heavy cavalry quickly broke through the front line of Cao’s army.

The 17,000 or so light cavalry in the rear also quickly advanced, further expanding the breakthrough of Cao’s front line of defense.

“How is this possible? How could this be? How could Liu Wu have such a powerful cavalry? This is heavy cavalry!!” Cao Chun widened his eyes, watching in disbelief as the front army was torn apart by the iron-red armored cavalry led by Liu Wu. He immediately realized that this was a powerful heavy cavalry.

Cao Chun was very familiar with heavy cavalry because he was in control of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, a heavy cavalry unit built at great expense under Cao Cao.

However, he did not expect that Liu Wu actually had such powerful heavy cavalry. What was even unacceptable to him was that Liu Wu actually had several thousand heavy cavalry.

You know, he only has four hundred tiger and leopard cavalry.

“kill!”

Like an earth-shaking movement, Liu Wu led 3,000 heavy cavalry to continue breaking through in the direction of Cao Chun ahead.

To capture the thief is to capture the leader. Cao Chun is obviously the commander of Cao’s army. As long as Cao Chun can be killed, the 100,000-strong Cao army will be ineffective.

Cao Chun discovered Liu Wu’s intention. Seeing Liu Wu coming towards him with a large army, he was shocked and angry. He fled to the rear in panic, while constantly mobilizing the surrounding cavalry to encircle and kill Liu Wu.

However, the three thousand heavy cavalry were too overbearing in this era. They were like an iron dragon, sweeping away and crushing the Cao army’s cavalry that came to surround and attack them, stirring up the entire battlefield.

The momentum is unstoppable.

Liu Wu led the heavy cavalry and kept approaching Cao Chun, who was fleeing frantically on the battlefield, and kept tearing apart one cavalry after another of Cao’s troops who came to support and encircle and kill him.

Rumble~
A group of several hundred heavy cavalrymen wearing armor and exuding powerful aura appeared on the battlefield, guarding Cao Chun in the middle.

This heavy cavalry consisted of about four hundred horses.

This is Cao Chun’s trump card, and it gives him the confidence to control these 100,000 cavalrymen.

Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!
Liu Wu had a vague guess, but he directly led the Mongolian heavy cavalry and pressed forward fiercely.

The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were indeed powerful cavalry in this era. They all had strong physiques, were veteran cavalrymen, had superb riding skills, and wore armor.

However, without the blessing of the three treasures of horses, they are not true cavalry.

What’s more, the 3,000 Mongolian heavy cavalrymen all had sharp weapons made with advanced steel-casting methods.

“Bang bang bang~” Liu Wu used his pair of weapons to knock down one Tiger and Leopard Rider after another.

Three thousand Mongolian heavy cavalry surrounded and killed them, crushing them alive.

Heading straight for Cao Chun.

Although Cao Chun was brave, he was forced to retreat again and again under the fierce attack of the Mongolian heavy cavalry.

In the midst of thousands of troops, Cao Chun, with blood all over his face, looked at Liu Wu in horror as he rushed towards him.

“You can’t kill me. I’m Cao Cao’s cousin. Sikong will definitely not let you go!”

There was mockery in Liu Wu’s eyes, and he swung down the King Yu’s spear fiercely. Cao Chun fell down, and then his head was lifted high.

On the battlefield, there were still countless Cao cavalrymen watching this scene and they were immediately thrown into chaos.

Having lost their commander, Cao’s army fled in all directions like headless flies.

Liu Wu took advantage of the situation to pursue, and the Mongolian heavy cavalry followed closely behind. About 17,000 light cavalry also spread out to pursue, like sharp blades, cutting Cao’s army into pieces.

Unfortunately, the 3,000 Mongolian heavy cavalry could no longer run after Cao Chun surrendered. They had been exhausted after a long battle and even their war horses could not run any further.

The victory cannot be further expanded.

A large number of Cao’s cavalry fled in all directions.

Liu Wu led his army back to the city. At this time, the city gates were wide open. Pang Tong was very excited to see Liu Wu and said:

“Congratulations, lord, for your great victory. I never thought that you would be so brave and skilled in fighting. You might even be as good as Lu Bu.”

“And this heavy cavalry is so terrifying on the battlefield!”

Liu Wu listened to Pang Tong’s shock and said with a smile:

“This battle was a trick, catching Cao Chun off guard. Heavy cavalry is powerful, but it cannot be used as a regular army. It is not durable and can only be used in decisive battles.”

After hearing what Liu Wu said, Pang Tong looked at Liu Wu with even more admiration.

Being able to control such a powerful weapon of war and also being able to clearly recognize its weaknesses, even if Liu Wu is a military general, he is probably a famous general.

“The enemy army only has one commander, Ma Teng. Arrange for the soldiers to rest immediately, feed the horses, and gather information at the same time. We must seize the opportunity to pursue the victory and destroy Cao’s 100,000 cavalry in one battle!”

Liu Wu gave another order.

Since Ma Zhong’s three treasures have been used and are likely to be exposed, then he should make the most of them and destroy Cao Cao’s cavalry first. In this way, the cavalry under his command can still maintain its advantage.

“promise!”

Upon hearing this, Pang Tong immediately agreed and hurriedly arranged for the soldiers and horses to rest and clean up the battlefield.

At the same time, the Jinyiwei were also sent out to track down the main force of Cao’s cavalry that had escaped.

A few days later, a hundred miles west of Puyang.

Zhang Fei led thousands of light cavalry to burn a large amount of food and supplies of Cao’s cavalry, blocking the retreat of 40,000 Cao’s cavalry.

A fight broke out between the two sides.

Zhang Fei followed Liu Wu’s orders and only engaged the main force of Cao’s fleeing troops, and did not fight with Cao’s cavalry.

Ma Teng arranged 10,000 cavalrymen to cover the rear, trying to save his life by cutting off his arm, and tried to retreat with a part of the defeated soldiers, but was stopped by Liu Wu, who finally arrived with thousands of Mongolian heavy cavalry wearing iron-red armor.

Zhang Fei also led a large army to launch a fierce attack.

Under the combined attack, Cao’s army, whose morale plummeted and lacked sufficient food, was once again defeated.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Ma Teng had no choice but to abandon his armor and soldiers and flee to Guanzhong with a dozen cavalrymen.

In this battle, Liu Wu defeated a larger force with a smaller one, relying on his elite cavalry. He killed Cao Chun and Han Sui, injured Ma Teng, and annihilated all of Cao Cao’s assembled cavalry. He captured 30,000 defeated soldiers and collected 60,000 war horses. It was a great victory.

Originally, the news that Liu Wu led 20,000 cavalry to Puyang to fight against 100,000 cavalry of Cao’s army shocked the princes of the world, and they sent a large number of scouts to pay attention to this battle.

The news of Liu Wu’s great victory spread like a hurricane to all the princes in the world.

Xuzhou is not far from Puyang.

Xuzhou and Pengcheng are provincial governors’ offices.

“My uncle won a great victory? He killed Han Sui in one move, injured Ma Teng, killed Cao Chun in the midst of thousands of troops, and defeated 100,000 Cao’s cavalry? How is this possible!”

In the hall, Sun Shao lost his usual calmness. Looking at the news from Puyang, he was shocked and panicked.

They all thought that Liu Wu was going to be defeated and at the end of his rope, but he actually defeated 100,000 Cao cavalry in just half a month?

They simply couldn’t believe it could be true.

Even if there were 100,000 pigs, they wouldn’t be defeated so quickly, right?
In the hall.

Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Zhu Zhi and a dozen other civil and military officials all looked grim, as they had received the news before they arrived.

Especially Zhou Yu, who had previously suggested not sending troops to help Liu Wu, and even not suggesting deploying troops in Guangling to help Liu Wu intimidate Sun Quan.

Now, Liu Wu actually won, and Xuzhou was immediately embarrassed, because they were betraying their ally. What’s more, Liu Wu had given them more than 100,000 shi of grain before.

It would be fine if Liu Wu didn’t win, but now, the situation is clearly reversed.

“General Gongjin, what should we do? My uncle has won a great victory. I’m afraid he will be angry that we didn’t help him before.” Sun Shao turned around and said to Zhou Yu anxiously, with some complaints in his voice.

Before, he actually wanted to follow Xiangyang’s request and not send troops, but at least station troops in Guangling to help Xiangyang deter Sun Quan.

However, because Zhou Yu vowed that Liu Wu would be defeated and not to offend Sun Quan again, it was obvious that now that Liu Wu had won, Sun Shao was afraid that he had offended Liu Wu.

Zhou Yu was also troubled by Sun Shao’s words and sighed:

“Alas, at first everyone in the world thought that the General of Cavalry would be at the end of his rope and unable to stop Cao Cao’s army, but who knew that he actually secretly trained an elite cavalry, and even the General of Cavalry himself was so brave and powerful.”

“Zhou Yu did make a mistake. I am willing to resign from the post of Grand Commander, take full responsibility, and apologize to the General of Cavalry.”

Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and proposed a solution strategy to Sun Shao.

Now Liu Wu’s army is strong and powerful, and he is fighting for the stability of Xuzhou and for Sun Shao.

Zhou Yu felt that only by standing up and taking responsibility himself could he save Xuzhou and Sun Shao from Liu Wu’s punishment.

“General Gongjin, you…” Sun Shao was suddenly speechless after hearing Zhou Yu say this.
