Three Kingdoms: copy Lu Bu's force at the beginning

It was Zhou Yu who personally led the troops to meet the dusty sky in front of him.

Regarding today's battle, Zhou Yu is quite at ease, thinking that even if Sun Ce wins, he will not lose.

The relationship between Sun Ce and Tai Shici is estimated to be like that between Zhao Yun and Zhang Yun. They will fight for several days, regardless of the outcome.

However, after receiving the report from the scouts, Zhou Yu couldn't help being surprised when he learned that Hua Yu had come in person and that Wei Jun's Bingzhou cavalry had come out in full force.

Hua Yu personally came, why didn't a scout report the news?
Zhou Yu was cautious, but he sent dozens of scouts to spread out, just worried that Hua Yu would come suddenly.

Unexpectedly, after all the work has been done, there is still no trace of Hua Yu.

Regardless of whether the scout was negligent or Hua Yu had any countermeasures, Zhou Yu had no time to think about it, so he immediately led the army to meet Sun Ce.

If something happened to Sun Ce, all the previous efforts would be in vain.

Therefore, Zhou Yu also became cruel, leaving only 5000 troops to guard the camp, and he tried his best to send 5000 troops to support Sun Ce.

Of course, Zhou Yu also had the same idea as Sun Ce.

Hua Yu only has [-] cavalry, as long as he can be killed here, the Guanzhong area will be in chaos, and Sun Ce will be able to take Chang'an lightly and take over Hua Yu's power.

This force is not only the territory, but also the talents under Hua Yu's command, who can definitely take over most of it.

Zhou Yu led an army out to meet him, and before running far, he saw Sun Ce.

However, Zhou Yu was taken aback.

Beside Sun Ce, there was only one Zhou Tai, and a dozen or so personal guards, and the rest of the thousand cavalry were gone.

Moreover, Zhou Yu could see clearly that Hua Yu's pursuers were not far away from Sun Ce.

How can it be?

Zhou Yu really couldn't figure it out, even if the Yuzhou cavalry was defeated by the Bingzhou flying cavalry, the number was still much different, at least they could hold back for a quarter of an hour or two.

Besides, there are three generals, He Qi, Dong Xi and Chen Wu, so it wouldn't be so useless.

Zhou Yu could tell that if he hadn't come to meet him, Sun Ce would definitely be caught up by Hua Yu soon.

Of course Hua Yu also saw Zhou Yu leading the army to meet Sun Ce, a sneer flashed in his eyes, but he did not order the 5000 troops to stop.

"Zi Yi, you lead Zhang Xiu and Lai Man'er to attack the left wing of the Yuzhou army, and Gu leads Hu Che'er to attack the right wing of the Yuzhou army."

"Remember, before the opponent's formation is in chaos, you can't fight with them."

"Here, my lord." Tai Shici responded, splitting up half of his troops, led Zhang Xiu and Lai Man'er to the right, and attacked the left flank of the Yuzhou Army.

Zhou Yu saw from a distance that Hua Yu's army suddenly split into two, so he knew Hua Yu's intentions.

"Send the order, all the army stops, and the left and right wings defend the enemy with bows and arrows." Zhou Yu's reaction was also quick, and he immediately gave the order.

It's a pity that it's so difficult for the marching army to stop all of a sudden and arrange their formation again.

Not to mention, Hua Yu's [-] cavalry were loaded with rapid marching military skills, and the speed was so fast that it was shocking.

Soon, before the Yuzhou army stopped, Huayu's cavalry arrived on the two wings.

"Whoosh..." Bingzhou Flying Cavalry immediately launched a round of flying shots.

The Yuzhou Army failed to stop, nor did they form a formation, so naturally they could not prevent an effective defense. The number of people hit by arrows was unknown, and there were screams again and again.

Sun Ce also joined Zhou Yu at this time.

The narrow escape did not make Sun Ce feel any fear, but his fighting spirit was high: "Gong Jin, we must destroy Hua Ziyi here today."

"If we win this battle, Chang'an will be at our fingertips."

Zhou Yu gave a wry smile, and pointed his right hand to the left and right sides: "The Wei army's combat effectiveness is too strong. Look at their cavalry's projectiles. The range is three times that of ordinary soldiers. Our army can't resist them at all."

Sun Ce looked to the left and right, and sure enough, his expression changed drastically.

How could this be?
Could it be that the cavalry of the Wei army are so elite that their strength is not inferior to that of first-class generals?
The Wei army kept running, and the Yuzhou army was out of range.

In this way, the Yuzhou Army's bow and arrow counterattack would have no effect, and they could only be beaten passively.

Moreover, the cavalry of the Wei Army was projectile, making the outermost shield phalanx of the Yuzhou Army useless.

The number of arrows in the Yuzhou Army was unknown, and the screams continued. The formation that had just been formed soon became chaotic again.

Seeing this, Hua Yu immediately changed his battle plan again, and formed a circle of [-] cavalry, standing outside the range of ordinary bows and arrows, shooting wildly at the Yuzhou army.

Once the Yuzhou Army attacked outward, the Wei Army cavalry retreated while shooting.

Once the Yuzhou Army rushed far, the Wei Army cavalry temporarily put down their bows and arrows, and began to use the powerful impact of the cavalry to charge the Yuzhou Army.

The Yuzhou army was concentrated together, and it was difficult for the cavalry of the Wei army to charge.

Or, once you rush in, you will no longer have the flexibility of a cavalry, and basically turn into an infantry on horseback. Even if you kill a few enemies, you will surely die.

But once the Yuzhou army charged far away, the formation would naturally be extremely chaotic, and the cavalry of the Wei army could keep rushing to kill the enemy, with great flexibility and great lethality.

As a result, the Yuzhou army was in a great headache, and they were passively beaten no matter what, and the casualty rate was getting higher and higher.

In less than an hour, the [-] Yuzhou Army had lost nearly [-].

Moreover, there were almost no casualties among the five thousand Wei army cavalry.

Sun Ce was startled and furious. If the fight continues like this, no matter how many soldiers the Yuzhou Army has, it will eventually be wiped out.

"Gong Jin, what should I do?" Sun Ce also had no good idea, so he turned to Zhou Yu and asked.

Zhou Yu kept looking around, his eyes sparkling.

Hearing Sun Ce's question, Zhou Yu immediately replied: "Bo Fu, Hua Ziyi's five thousand cavalry must not have many arrows."

"Right now, almost every cavalry has fired more than a dozen rounds, and they must not have many arrows left."

"In my opinion, our army can only temporarily defend passively, waiting for the arrows of the Wei army to run out."

"As long as the Wei army's arrows are gone, our army will form a circular formation with shields outside and spears to assist, and their cavalry advantage will disappear."

"Then, our army will fight and retreat. As long as we can retreat to the camp, we will be safe and sound."

After hearing this, Sun Ce was naturally upset, and said bitterly: "Can our army only be defeated and not annihilate the enemy?"

Zhou Yu smiled wryly: "Bo Fu, that Hua Ziyi is extremely treacherous. He only lets the cavalry harass the periphery of our army, and does not attack our formation."

"The cavalry is flexible and fast, advancing and retreating swiftly. How can our army catch up?"

"Right now, it is a blessing in misfortune that most of our army can retreat to the camp."

At this time, Hua Yu also discovered this problem, the arrows of the five thousand cavalry were running out.
