- "Wen Lie!" Heart-wrenching cries sounded in many places at the same time. Cao Cao's emphasis on kinship generals did have the effect of promoting cohesion to a certain extent. Seeing Cao Xiu's flag being toppled and following Xiahou Shang's footsteps, the generals named Cao and Xiahou were all filled with grief.
The transition between cavalry's attack and defense is too fast, and the battle is too fierce. There is no distinction between the front and the rear. When two and one charge, the forwards on both sides will kill each other's rear. In this case, it is normal for the flag to fall over, and it cannot represent the defeat of the army or the death of the general.
However, judging from the current situation, there is a high probability that Cao Xiu has been martyred.
His central army collided with the sharpness of the gale force cavalry. After the collision, the Qingzhou Army's front and rear formations were a little spread apart, and the formation became a little looser, but the overall formation was still intact. But the Leopard Cavalry was smashed into pieces like a tide hitting a rock, and was forced to shunt to both sides.
There is a basic inertia in war, and the direction of progress is always easy to shift to the weak side. This is the reason why the old soldier, the Saint of Soldiers, said that the image of a soldier is water. To put it bluntly, if there is a soft persimmon, who is willing to hit it against a rock?
Previously, the Leopard Cavalry counterattacked with all their might, led by Cao Xiu. Now, the bravest general and his bodyguards have been trampled under the hooves of the enemy's horses. Their momentum suddenly stagnated, and uncontrollable fear suddenly spread. Although they did not lose their fighting spirit, the cavalry were unwilling to continue to hit Zhao Yun's spear blade, and they all hoped to open a gap from other parts of the battle line.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT OFF OF THE DRAWINGS)) As soon as this started to appear, it quickly turned sour). At first, the cavalry just wanted to avoid the strong and attack the weak, but when they changed direction, they realized that there was no suitable breakthrough in front.
The two wings of the front arrow formation are two inclined planes. If you rush forward from the front, you will not only face the long spears of the enemy cavalry on the opposite side, but the sides will also be threatened.
Nearby, there are cavalry slanting in front, and long swords and horses attacking from the side; in the distance, there are waves of arrow rain!
If Cao Xiu was still there, there might be a way to make adjustments, but once Cao Xiu died, the Leopard Cavalry, each fighting on its own, could not find a way to break the situation. Even if there are some generals with a higher level of vision, they cannot convey their opinions to everyone. They can only be wrapped in the crowd and pass by the enemy involuntarily.
Cao Xiu also had two lieutenants. Xiahou Shang died, and his brother Xiahou De was still there. However, at this time, he only sent orders through the horn, ordering the army to maintain the status quo, and wait until they were behind the enemy before regrouping and giving a title. Chase and kill.
But it was obvious that he took this order for granted.
It is not impossible to go around behind the enemy and pursue them, but it would require a very elite force with arrangements in advance. In the Gaotang War that year, Zhao Yun used this move to deal with the Huns cavalry, but what the Leopard Cavalry lacked the most was the tacit understanding between them, and there was no way to complete such a difficult tactical coordination.
Disregarding the orders from the Chinese army, some people simply went out on their own, trying to inspire their colleagues with courage and continue fighting. But when a few people faced the enemy in formation, they seemed so powerless, like a pebble smashed into the vast Yellow River, and even the splashing water could not be seen clearly.
Rows of long spears protruded from the front arrow formation. From different angles, they looked like jagged saw teeth, but their lethality was unquestionable. The warriors who hit them fell off their horses with blood spattered and fell into the dust.
In addition, many people have directly attacked the flanks of Qin Feng and Fang Yue. The two groups of cavalry were small in number, with only a thousand or so each, but the damage they caused was considerable and could not be ignored.
The result of fighting on their own was that just a moment after Cao Cao and others mourned the tragic deaths of Cao Xiu and Xia Houshang, the entire Leopard Cavalry formation became a mess and fell apart.
The number of the Gale Cavalry is about the same as that of the Leopard Cavalry. Even if their combat power exceeds that, they cannot directly kill all the enemy troops. But the Leopard Cavalry's formation was in chaos, and the Gale Cavalry actually opened up a path effortlessly!
Hearing the warning from the lookout, Cao Cao could no longer hold himself back and climbed to the enemy tower himself to overlook the battlefield.
I saw a bright white light, just like an arrow from the string, tearing apart one's defense line at high speed.
The opponent's attack was as fast as a thunderstorm. Even though there were countless loopholes in the elongated front line that could be struck and cut off, the dispersed Leopard Cavalry were completely shocked by its desperate advance and were unable to organize an effective counterattack. The frightened warriors scattered like a tide split by sharp blades.
"Why don't we postpone the siege and concentrate our best troops to resist Qingzhou's troops?"
"How can that be done? We are just one last push away from taking down Lu Bu. Giving up at this time is not just as simple as wasting all our previous efforts. With Lu Bu's tiger and wolf nature, he might beThere's no telling if he'll bite back! "
"What should we do? Generals Wen Lie and Boren have been killed successively, and the Leopard Cavalry has been In short, the call for reinforcements now is still a way to make up for the situation. If the Qingzhou Army breaks through a few more lines of defense, then"
"Brother, be careful what you say, be careful what you say!"
There were low and fierce whispers from the staff below the enemy tower, but Cao Cao didn't even have the strength to get angry.
At this moment, he couldn't help but regret. If he had known this, he shouldn't have sent Xu Chu and Dian Wei to attack the city. Xu Chu is also the deputy general of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and often leads the army into battle. If it was Xu Chu who was facing Zhao Yun tit for tat, maybe the situation wouldn't be so bad, right?
But it seems a bit late to say so now. Military information from the city showed that Xu Chu and Dian Wei had already captured the North Tower and were leading their troops to besiege Lu Bu. Wei Yan and Gao Shun's troops were blocked by Xiahou Dun at the gate of the city. Lu Bu only had Cao Xing and less than 200 remaining soldiers beside him. With such a huge disparity in strength, good news should come soon.
Should we postpone dealing with Lu Bu and concentrate on dealing with the Qingzhou Army? Or should we clean up behind us first, capture a few alive or something, and then threaten Wang Yu later? Cao Cao was unsure for a while. Of course, the only one who can relieve his worries at this time is Guo Jia.
"Fengxiao, what do you think?"
"My lord, I think that the remnant soldiers in the city are no longer enough to cause trouble, and the battle is already in full swing. Even if one or two people are captured alive, it may not help. What's more, with Lu Bu's temperament, since he has fought bloody battles so far, I'm afraid it's impossible ¡¡±
Guo Jia paused for a moment, leaving time for Cao Cao to digest and understand, and then said seriously: "It is better to mobilize elite soldiers and good generals to help early, just in case something happens!"
Pre-battle planning is not Guo Jia¡¯s specialty, but analyzing the battle situation is not a big problem. The situation ahead is not good, but the most capable generals in Cao's camp are still in the city, which is putting the cart before the horse.
"" Cao Cao lowered his head and said nothing, hesitating. After a while, he suddenly raised his head, with a bright light in his eyes: "The words of filial piety are reasonable, let's do it like this!"
¡°Woo woo woo¡¡±
Hearing the horn sound coming from outside the city, Xiahou Dun and others were stunned at first, and then they were all shocked!
"Is this an order from the lord to ask the siege troops to suspend the offensive and withdraw troops to return for reinforcements?" Hou Cheng looked at the new master Xiahou Dun uncertainly.
"That's right, if it weren't for that, the horn sound wouldn't be so urgent!" Xiahou Dun's face was as heavy as water, he nodded, and gave an affirmative answer.
"But didn't Wang Yu's reinforcements just arrive? In just one meal, they defeated the 50,000-strong army outside the city. How is this possible?" Hou Cheng felt palpitations and shortness of breath, and his heart beat fast. It was like playing a drum, and I was out of breath.
"When he entered Puyang, he only entered a few hundred horses. What was the result?" Hou Cheng said in a panic, but for a moment he ignored Xiahou Dun's feelings, which made the latter very dissatisfied.
"MoMojiang doesn't mean that, Mojiang just, just"
Xia Houdun shouted coldly and interrupted Hou Cheng: "Okay, stop talking nonsense. You lead three thousand people to surround Gao Shun and Wei Yan. I will personally take action and go to meet him Lu Bu. Let Zhong Kang and the others come back for reinforcements first Just reply to the lord like this!" After a few words of explanation, Xiahou Dun led more than a hundred personal guards and went to the tower with some steel guns.
Before this, Xiahou Dun¡¯s attention had been on Gao Shun and Wei Yan. The troops trapped in the camp were too difficult to grasp, and they were like a fish in water in the street fighting. If they hadn't used the trick of indiscriminate shooting, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to surround them now.
In his opinion, the force that fell into such a defiant camp should be a special case. The main force of Lu Bu's army is cavalry, which should not be used in street fighting. Lu Bu must have been at the end of his strength by holding on to the Beicheng Tower for so long. Knowing that the reinforcements were coming, Lu Bu would definitely huddle up and defend with his remaining soldiers to delay the attack and wait for the result outside the city, so Dian and Xu Cai could not attack for a long time.
Xiahou Dun is not arrogant enough to think that he can accomplish what Dian Wei and Xu Chu failed to accomplish together. He just planned to deploy troops and generals, at least to trap Lu Bu at the top of the city and not let the lord worry.
Who knew that as soon as he showed his head, the defenders whistled and more than 20 people rushed up. One of them shouted and pointed his sword forward. Everyone raised their swords and guns and pounced forward.
Although Xiahou Dun was frightened, he led a group of soldiers to meet him, and the two sides immediately started a fierce battle.
The clothes and armor of the defenders who rushed forward were all in pieces, and even the weapons in their hands were picked up. They looked miserable, but they were all like wolves and tigers, and they were completely fighting for their lives. With his superb martial arts skills, Xiahou Dun quickly stabbed two opponents to death with his spear, and two of the guards around him also fell at the same time.
A gap suddenly appeared in the formation, and this group of warriors immediately seized this fleeting opportunity, rushing forward regardless of life and death, and rushed seven guards behind Xiahou Dun who were still trying to climb up the corridor. Bits and pieces.
"Archers come up!" Xiahou Dun was shocked and angry. He didn't expect that the enemy army would still have the strength to counterattack. They didn't even climb to the top of the city, and they couldn't use their marksmanship on the corridor. They were beaten back step by step and could only summon Archers from the city came to help.
The archers rushed forward quickly. When the bow strings sounded, hundreds of arrows rose into the sky. It seemed like a burst of rain fell on the sloping corridor.
Someone was shot by a cold arrow, and the moment he fell, he pounced on Xiahou Dun's bodyguard, hugging him and falling down the city wall together. Some people were hit by several arrows and their bodies were covered with blood, but they still waved their weapons and shouted for a fierce battle, even if they were able to defeat several enemies This counterattack actually cut off the corridor just like that!
Although Xiahou Dun was surprised by the ferocity of these warriors, he was proud of his status and would not turn around to fight with a group of soldiers. He only glanced back and then turned around and climbed to the top of the city.
The situation was very different from what was expected. What was going on at the top of the city was a battle. Dian Wei and Xu Chu were fighting side by side against Lu Bu's painted halberd. The defenders and the attackers were also facing each other tit for tat. On the top of the 300-step-long city, you could see the figures fighting against each other everywhere. The sound of weapons clashing could be heard endlessly. No matter how you look at it, they are evenly matched.
But Xiahou Dun clearly understood that there was no way that Lu Bu's army at the top of the city could exceed three hundred, and on his own side, the number of guards brought over by Xu Chu alone was more than three hundred!
What surprised him even more was what was happening behind him. Seeing Xiahou Dun's figure, Xu Chu actually showed joy and greeted loudly: "General Yuan Rang is here just in time. Come quickly to help in the battle!"
Xiahou Dun was almost stunned. He couldn't understand what happened at the top of the city. At this time, Lu Bu did not adopt defensive tactics, but launched a counterattack, and the offensive was so fierce.
This daze almost killed him.
"Be careful!" A cold arrow seemed to appear out of thin air, arriving almost at the same time as Xu Chu's warning sound. The arrow was concealed and the angle was extremely tricky. By the time Xiahou Dun was shocked, he had no room to dodge. He reluctantly turned sideways, but in the end he couldn't avoid it
"Ah!" Xiahou Dun let out an earth-shattering scream. He covered his left eye with his hand, the arrow shaft was caught between his fingers, and blood dripped down!
¡¡
After half a stick of incense, Cao Cao got the bad news.
After Xiahou Dun was injured in the eye, he still refused to retreat. His spirit was commendable, but he definitely couldn't suppress Lu Bu anymore. The three powerful generals were actually tightly restrained by Lu Bu. Even with Cao Cao's scheming and Guo Jia's superb resourcefulness, they were speechless for a while.
"Zihe, Zihe, don't let me down!" In the end, Cao Cao could only look to the north and cry sadly, placing his hope on another clan nephew. (To be continued.
