Three Kingdoms: I, Liu Feng, do not want to die

Chapter 44: Outnumbered, the advantage is mine
"Sorry"

The war horses neighed.

It was not a sound of fatigue, but a sound of joy.

Liu Feng gently stroked the mane of the divine horse he was sitting on, danced with the spear in his hand, laughed and shouted: "The enemy is numerous and we are few, fifty against five hundred, are you afraid of death?"

All the riders laughed.

"We are all capable of defeating ten enemies at once. Now is the time to kill the enemy and gain merit!"

"I am not afraid of Cao's cavalry, so why should I be afraid of Wu's dogs?"

"Fifty against five hundred, the winner is me."

"If the troops are not in formation, what is there to fear?"

"I am willing to follow the general into battle!"

"."

All the cavalry were elite soldiers who had followed Liu Feng for a long time, not new recruits who had just entered the battlefield.

A general is the courage of his soldiers, and Liu Feng's bravery has long been engraved in the hearts of the riders.

Not to mention fifty versus five hundred, even if it was fifty versus five thousand, the riders would not feel the slightest bit of fear.

Liu Feng laughed: "Back when we were at Han River, General Yijun had only a few dozen cavalrymen against Cao Cao's army of several thousand men and was able to defeat them. He was known as 'General Huwei' in the army, and my father even called him a man of courage."

"Although I dare not compare myself to the military prowess of General Yijun, I believe I am as brave as General Yijun. The mere five hundred Wu soldiers are nothing but vegetables on the chopping board."

"Today, I will become famous with you all!"

Point the spear.

Liu Feng shouted: "Step into the formation!"

Ma Zhong didn't hear clearly what Liu Feng was shouting, as he was still dreaming of capturing fifty war horses.

Facing Liu Feng's attack, Ma Zhong just thought that Liu Feng was struggling to death.

"I have five hundred soldiers, but a mere fifty cavalrymen dare to charge head-on. They really don't know how to live or die!" Ma Zhong grinned as he looked at Liu Feng in front of him who called himself "Captain Guan Sheng."

True.

The cavalry is very powerful.

However, in Ma Zhong's opinion, the strength of cavalry lies in its mobility and medium and long-range archery.

Even if we charge, it should be done when the enemy shows signs of defeat, rather than charging face to face as we are doing now.

In a situation like this where a small force had to charge head-on into the enemy's ranks, Ma Zhong had only one explanation: a desperate struggle.

"Surround!"

Ma Zhong gave the order coldly.

Five hundred Wu soldiers surrounded Liu Feng's fifty Han cavalry in a semicircle, and their long spears crossed and coordinated to stab the Han cavalry, while the sword and shield soldiers cooperated with the spearmen to resist the Han cavalry's thrusts.

Although it was a very conventional infantry-versus-cavalry tactic, Ma Zhong was very confident in the troops he had raised for many years.

What about cavalry?
As long as they are surrounded, they are just a group of lambs to be slaughtered.

A smile appeared on Ma Zhong's lips, as if he had already seen the scene of catching up with Guan Yu's family with fifty war horses and then returning to Jiangling City to report and receive rewards.

But this smile did not last long, and the corners of Ma Zhong's mouth gradually became stiff.

"This, this, this is impossible!"

His pupils contracted sharply, and Ma Zhong stared in amazement at the Han cavalry charging ahead, his face full of disbelief.

Especially Liu Feng, who was rushing in the front, was like an angry brown bear. Even several Wu soldiers joined forces could not withstand his attack.

The 10-foot-long spear in his hand, as thick as a bowl, would kill anyone who was touched, and injure anyone who was hit. No Wu soldier could get close to him!
"Is this Guan Sheng really just a captain under Guan Yu?"

"They all have the surname Guan. Could they be Guan Yu's nephews?"

"Or is this person Guan Ping, the eldest son of Guan Yu? Is Guan Sheng just a pseudonym?"

Guan Yu is as brave as a bear or a tiger, which has been authoritatively certified by Zhou Yu.

The generals of Jiangdong never doubted Guan Yu's bravery.

This is also one of the reasons why the Jiangdong generals took advantage of Guan Yu's absence to attack Jiangling City.

No one wants to go head-on with Xionghu.

Among the younger generation in Jingzhou, Guan Yu's eldest son Guan Ping also received special attention from the generals of Jiangdong.

Ma Zhong had never seen Guan Ping. He only heard from spies that Guan Ping was as brave as Guan Yu in his youth.

Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, it was enough to make Ma Zhong not underestimate Guan Ping's bravery.

Suddenly a brave and extraordinary "Guan Sheng" appeared, and Ma Zhong had to guess his identity as Guan Ping.

After having this guess, Ma Zhong was frightened.

The captured war horses and the dying struggles all turned into the most primitive fear.

"Can't beat it!"

"You'll die!"

"Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"

Ma Zhong had no intention of fighting Liu Feng to the death.

Even though these 500 soldiers were brave enough to fight Liu Feng ten for one, Ma Zhong did not dare to fight to the death.

The military system of Jiangdong is basically a private army system. Apart from the basic provisions of food and rice, whoever owns the soldiers is responsible for their support.

It is not easy to support a small general like Ma Zhong with five hundred troops.

If too many people die, Ma Zhong will have no chance to make meritorious deeds in the future.

not to mention.

Ma Zhong's 500 soldiers were not only fearless but also lucky enough to maintain a basic formation during the retreat.

Liu Feng did not pursue the victory.

It’s not that Liu Feng didn’t have the energy to pursue the victory, but Liu Feng’s original intention was not to destroy this Wu army.

If you really want to destroy him, you can do it when you first meet Ma Zhong.

Liu Feng's purpose was to delay time and interfere with Lu Meng's judgment.

If Ma Zhong returns to the city in defeat, Lu Meng will surely raise another army. If the Jiangdong navy is allowed to cross the Ju River to block the road, Guan Yu's family will be in unknown danger.

On the contrary, if Ma Zhong’s defeat is not severe enough, he will not return to the city easily, but will try to turn the game around.

Just as Liu Feng expected.

The fleeing Ma Zhong discovered that Liu Feng did not chase him, and the courage that had been defeated by Liu Feng began to gather again.

"I was already defeated, but Guan Sheng didn't take the opportunity to attack me. It seems that the cavalry was just holding on."

"I can still win!"

Ma Zhong didn't want to return to the city in disgrace.

Guan Yu's family members were not captured, and Kou Anguo's hundred men who were purchasing grain and rice were not caught up, but they encountered a cavalry team of fifty people on the way and were beaten and fled in panic.

It would be too embarrassing to report to Lu Meng like this!
When counting the troops, Ma Zhong felt his heart bleeding.

In just this short period of time, more than thirty people were killed and more than fifty were injured.

The other side only has fifty riders!

Ma Zhong, furious, decided to fight back and kill Liu Feng by surprise.

However, this time Ma Zhong did not choose to attack head-on, but waited until Liu Feng was resting and then suddenly launched an attack.

With Liu Feng's intentional "cooperation", Ma Zhong succeeded this time.

Not only did they "kill" Liu Feng by surprise, but they also seized some "dry food", "bows and arrows", "armor" and other supplies.

Although Liu Feng's cavalry was not killed, Ma Zhong regained his confidence.

"The Han army is exhausted and at the end of its strength. Follow me and continue the pursuit. We must keep these fifty cavalrymen!"

Unknowingly.

Ma Zhong had completely deviated from his route and his original mission. He had changed from chasing Guan Yu's family towards Ju River to chasing Liu Feng towards Dangyang.

Inside Gangneung City.

Seeing that Ma Zhong had not returned yet, Yu Fan approached Lu Meng again and said, "General, something is wrong. Ma Zhong is pursuing the enemy with a light force. Logically, he should have caught up with Guan Yu's family and the hundred Han soldiers."

"It's already dusk, and Ma Zhong hasn't sent back any news. Something must have happened."

Lu Meng also realized that something was wrong.

Ma Zhong was also a fierce general under his command. He led 500 men to chase Guan Yu's family and a hundred Han soldiers, but no news came back until dusk.

This is unreasonable!
