    "Raise the bow" Zhu Ling shouted loudly, the war drums beat, and more than 10,000 archers on both wings opened their strong bows, and arrows shining with cold light pointed upward.

    There is no need to aim, just throw the arrow to the place where the smoke is thickest.

    "Let go" Zhu Ling roared: "Shoot, shoot continuously!"

    A total of 13,000 strong archers launched a volley at almost the same time on the attack surfaces several miles long on both wings.  The rain of arrows in the sky was like a huge dark cloud, and the area covered by it suddenly fell into darkness. The roar of the long arrows tearing the air was as shrill as the howls of ghosts and gods, which was horrifying.

    The cavalryman covered by dark clouds was not even interested in raising his head to take a look. Under the cold mask, there seemed to be a blazing fire in his eyes, and he was only staring at the opponent in front of him.

    Arrows fell from the sky like a rainstorm, making a heavy 'dong, dong' sound.

    Cao Cao was not as generous as Wang Yu, and equipped all his soldiers with armor-piercing cones, but he was not unprepared. The arrows equipped by Cao Cao's archers were specially made to increase the weight of the arrows, although they were not as authentic as  It has the level of an armor-breaking cone, but it also has a certain armor-breaking effect.

    But obviously, this kind of half-baked armor-piercing arrow may be able to cause some damage to pierced armor and scale armor, but it is far from enough to break through thick plate armor.

    Although it can make dents in the plate armor, when a large number of arrows hit a rider at the same time, the powerful impact can even knock the rider off his horse.  But overall, the lethality is minimal and cannot have a substantial impact on the iron cavalry.

    After passing through the opponent's painstaking interception and the smoke and dust, almost without any adjustment, the cavalry withstood the rain of arrows and directly launched a strong attack.  Without hesitation, like moths flying towards the flame, they ran into the jungle of spears that had been gathering momentum one after another.

    Life is as bright as the legendary epiphyllum, blooming in an instant and withering in an instant.

    The dozens of riders who were the first to rush into the battle formation were pierced on the spot along with their mounts, and their blood spurted out like a waterfall. The hot blood soaked the field covered with wild flowers and green grass.  Even the most exquisitely crafted plate armor, which can be called the strongest in the world, cannot stop the spear blade from being struck at high speed.

    The battle-hardened infantry of Cao Jun turned a blind eye to the death of the enemy.  The soldiers in the first row still maintained a half-crouched posture, with their swords facing upwards on a shield that was half a man high.  The blood of men and horses flowed down the pole quickly, staining their hands and arms red, but everyone gritted their teeth tightly and remained motionless like stone sculptures.

    The soldiers in the second row placed their spears flat on the shoulders of the soldiers in the first row, with the spear pointed forward, with broken flesh and blood hanging from the tip.  The spears of the soldiers of the third row were placed on the shoulders of the soldiers of the second row. Their spears were two feet higher than those of the previous row, and they had no chance to make contact with the enemy. They were shining coldly with a blue light.

    Carrying the ardent expectations of tens of thousands of Cao Jun¡¯s soldiers, a magnificent steel jungle rose from the ground!

    The current Cao Cao is actually far inferior to the Emperor Wu of Wei in history.

    Not enough benefits were obtained from Hebei, and the time for integrating the Xiliang Army was too short. Although Cao Cao attached great importance to it subjectively, Cao Cao's cavalry was still difficult to achieve. The hastily mixed cavalry units were far from the tigers in history.  Leopard Rider level.

    Another reason why the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry is not strong enough is that there are not enough cavalrymen. They did not get the two famous generals Zhang Liao and Zhang Jia, as well as a large number of military generals from Hebei. They only relied on Cao Xiu and Cao Chun, who were inexperienced and had limited talents.  The younger generation is not enough.

    Therefore, the real strength of Cao's army is the infantry.

    On the one hand, it is because the infantry has fought many battles and seen many big scenes. They have sufficient experience, high morale and are well-trained.  On the other hand, the commander of the infantry is the only remaining one among the five good generals in the previous life who has not gone into the crossroads of history - Le Jin!

    Le Jin¡¯s style of using troops is very similar to that of Qingzhou General Yu Jin. If there is a difference, it is only because of the slight difference in their personalities.  Yu Jin is a standard soldier, meticulous, selfless, and somewhat rigid. Le Jin's character is a bit similar to Zhao Yun. He is low-key and pays no attention to anything except his own business.

    It is precisely because of this that the troops and horses he trained single-handedly have a very high cohesion.  Facing the roaring cavalry, they remained unwavering. The orderly formation was like a huge mountain, which was awe-inspiring.

    In an instant, hope arose in Cao Cao's heart, hoping that this confidant would be able to create a miracle and turn things around!

    In such a battle, the Qingzhou Army's best use of the chariot can't be used, because the infantry's spears are longer than the cavalry's spears. After contact, the cavalry has no room to maneuver and rashly resorts to the chariot.  The law will only disrupt your own pace in vain.

    With one thing going down and the other going up, will miracles still be far away?

     Cao Cao began to consider whether he should let the archers turn their targets to the enemy's light cavalry.  At this moment, the Gale Cavalry was turning around, seemingly intending to turn back and attack the Leopard Cavalry who were in a chaotic formation. Taking advantage of their changing formations to launch a covering attack, they would surely gain a lot.

    You know, this time the Gale Army did not wear paper armor.

    However, before he could finish this thought, a sudden change occurred in the front line!

    It was a roar formed by countless loud noises

    The sound comes from the impact, a crazy and ferocious impact!

    The cavalrymen whose bodies were pierced by spears were still trying hard to move forward. If they were still on their horses, they would try their best to move their horses. If they were provoked by spears, they would use their last strength to throw the weapons in their hands at the enemy formation.  Or tightly grasp the spear piercing the body!

    People are desperate, but horses are also going crazy. The vitality of horses is far greater than that of humans, and the inertia of their huge bodies is even more unbearable.  Feeling the owner's thoughts, the horse endured the severe pain and lunged forward with all his strength!

    The first round of impact did not pose much threat. With the layers of spear formations, the heavy armored infantry blocked the enemy's impact.  Someone was crushed by a war horse, and the gap was quickly filled by other soldiers.  Those who were not affected clenched their teeth tightly and remained as motionless as stone sculptures.

    But the second round of collisions followed.

    The cavalry soldiers put their lives and deaths at risk. There are no traces of strategy or planning on them anymore. There are only fearless bravery and the heroism of marching forward!

    They dashed forward without hesitation. The denser the spear formations were, the more they had to collide. In many places, both riders arrived at the same time. The force of the impact was so great that it was simply beyond the power of human power.

    Although the shields in front of the formation were supported by wooden stakes, although the five rows in front and behind could launch attacks at the same time, and although the heavily armored infantry were equally fearless and fought to the death cracks and dents appeared in the phalanx, and then a  Bit by bit it shattered.

    The third wave of cavalry rushed over, followed closely by the fourth wave of cavalry!

    It is true that Che Xuan's tactics cannot be used, and there is no way to use them. The tactics Wang Yu used this time are the least technical, but also the most thrilling and primitive tactics. They are a desperate wave that continues one after another!

    There are more and more flaws in the spear array, gradually turning into huge cracks.  The cavalry soldiers who risked their lives rushed directly through the crack, swung their long spears in a hurry, and fought for their lives.

    In an instant, both sides suffered heavy losses.

    Although Cao Jun¡¯s infantry, who were well coordinated, remained frightened, they relied on their group advantage to launch stabs from all directions, knocking over the cavalry that broke into the formation one by one.  But with the defense and weight of the plate armor, the crazy war horses and crazy iron cavalry had to drag at least five or six opponents on their backs before dying.

    The restraint of the dense spear formation on the cavalry is only relative. If the cavalry has the courage to sacrifice, it will not be difficult to smash this formation into powder.  And with the Fire Cavalry like this, how can it be as simple as just having the courage to sacrifice?  They have simply entered a state of madness.

    The Iron Cavalry is like fire, just like its name, the most violent and violent, the most powerful soldier!

    Blood splattered, the horn sounded like a tiger roaring and a dragon roaring, and the red tide surged, creating more and more cracks in the black dam!

    "Compared to the almost one-sided slaughter on the frontal battlefield before, the fighting at this moment still had a bit of a reciprocal meaning, but Cao Cao still held the handle of the knife tightly, and the knuckles of his fingers had already turned white.

    He knew where he was wrong. The Fire Cavalry was formed with five hundred Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry as its backbone. Now that their old master is in danger, how can these people not fight tooth and nail?  If he had made a decision earlier, suspended the siege of Lu Bu, and concentrated all his efforts on Wang Yu, maybe this battle would not be so embarrassing.

    But as of now, he doesn¡¯t plan to make any more changes.

    No matter how weak the archer's attack is, it is not completely ineffective. If you don't take advantage of the stalemate to weaken this incomparably brave cavalry, when the heavy armored infantry array is completely defeated, what else can you use to block it?

    Cao Cao didn't want to distract his energy again. He wanted to concentrate all his combat power and concentrate on solving the greatest threat to the cavalry first.  The Leopard Cavalry is certainly no match for the Gale Force, but to completely defeat these nearly four thousand cavalry would take at least half an hour, right?

    And Wang Yu is now in the cavalry formation. Although he is closely protecting the central army, in many senses, he is still a flaw.  As long as this fierce cavalry is used up, Wang Yu will never be able to face the siege of thousands of troops with only one person.  Kill him and the entire battle will be turned upside down.

    Thinking of this, Cao Cao didn't hesitate anymore. He grabbed the horn with his hands and blew a dragon's roar with all his strength!  With the battle flags waving and the drums and trumpets blaring, he rushed all his troops except the archers towards the death vortex in front of the formation!

    &nbsp"The soldiers on both sides knew that the battle had reached a critical moment, and they fought fiercely, preferring death to retreat.

    Several Qingzhou cavalrymen fell off their horses and immediately swung their hammers and swept across the ground.  Several spears were stabbed down without dodging.  After a few breaths, a gap appeared where the cavalry had fallen.  On the grass that had been stained red with blood, several warriors fell in one place, shoulder to shoulder, face to face.

    In order to protect the battle formation from being scattered, Le Jin rushed to the front line with his own soldiers.  His skill was far better than that of ordinary soldiers. When he saw where the enemy troops were rushing out of a gap, he immediately rushed forward to take over his position.

    A Qingzhou cavalryman who had just stabbed his opponent over laughed and threw the body off the horse. Before he could level the horse again, Le Jin rushed forward, swung his sword, swept across the waist, and knocked him off the saddle.  Sweep away half of it.

    "Hold on! The Lord has sent reinforcements!" Le Jin, who was covered in blood as if he had just been fished out of the dye house, raised his knife and roared, charging towards the next cavalryman.

    The cavalryman who had just rushed into the battle remained calm, swung his long spear slightly, changed the angle slightly, and stabbed the terrifying enemy general effortlessly.  Le Jin turned his wrist, raised it at an angle, and knocked the horse's stem away with one strike.  Then he stepped forward, and slashed the horse's raised front legs with another knife.

    The horse that lost its legs let out a shrill scream, fell forward, rolled and struggled.  Although the cavalryman on the horse was not frightened, he swung his ankles and used dexterous movements to break away from the stirrups, and with the momentum of the galloping horse, he volleyed towards Le Jin.

    Le Jin did not expect that the enemy was so brave, even an ordinary soldier was so fierce. He was immediately taken aback, but it was too late to dodge, so he could only raise his sword horizontally and use all his strength to parry.

    "Boom!" The weight of the man and the armor exceeds 200 kilograms. Coupled with the huge inertia, even the Bailian Steel Sword cannot withstand such an impact. It instantly bent into a half-moon and broke into shape with an overwhelmed groan.  Two pieces!

    "Get out of the way!" Taking advantage of this buffer, Le Jin exhaled and pushed hard, using his strength to avoid the incoming blows.

    "Bang!" The rider landed with a crash. Although most of the force of the fall was removed, he was still thrown until his eyesight went black.  Several Cao Jun spearmen quickly surrounded them, raising their spears, ready to kill the evil. But as soon as they raised their spears, the rider on the ground who should have been unable to stand suddenly jumped forward with his hands and feet.  Hit the leg of a spearman!

    The spearman was unprepared for a moment and fell down with a scream. The fallen rider pounced on him and launched a fierce attack with his head and hands.  Unable to show weakness, the spearman roared and launched a counterattack, and the two of them rolled into a ball on the ground.

    The other spearmen were stunned at first, and then became furious. They were about to attack and help, but unexpectedly they heard the sound of thunderous hooves, and several horses rolled in smoke and rushed over from the increasingly widening gap.

    The spearman ignored Pao Ze who fell to the ground and quickly raised his spear to fight. The opponent faced him with a spear, and several weapons collided together without any fancy, making a crisp clang of gold and iron.

    It seems that they are evenly matched, but the cavalry have an extra war horse, and their riding skills are very good. If they miss a hit, they immediately urge the horse forward and trample them directly with the hoof of the horse!

    Of course, Le Jin couldn't watch his soldiers die miserably. He picked up a spear from the ground with his toes, rushed forward, and swept away thousands of troops with one move.

    "Ping!" A crescent halberd protruded from its side, blocking Le Jin's spear just in time. The war horse followed suit, and the wind it brought was so fierce that it made people feel untenable.

    Le Jin was unprepared for a moment and was blinded by the sand and dust kicked up by the cavalry. Knowing that something was wrong, he quickly flew back.  The spear was placed across his chest to block the enemy general's follow-up attack. Unexpectedly, what came after him was not a weapon at all, but boots covered with pig iron!

    "Ah" This is not a technique that should be used on the battlefield at all, but it has an unexpected effect when it is used suddenly.  Le Jin couldn't dodge and was kicked directly in the abdomen by the enemy general!  This kick was extremely powerful. Even through a layer of iron armor, Le Jin could still hear the sound of his ribs breaking. He let out an earth-shattering cry, vomited blood and fell down.

    The cavalrymen rushed forward, preparing to avenge Paoze and trample the enemy general into a pulp. Seeing that the situation was wrong, the spearmen also rushed forward and defended the general to the death.

    The fierce battle entered its final climax.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
