"Reporting to my lord, the front army of the mountain formation has been completely broken through, and General Le is seriously injured!"
¡°General Shi led his troops to reinforce, but encountered the headquarters¡¯ cavalry led by Wang Yu, and was unfortunately killed in the army!¡±
¡°¡I¡¯m reporting to my lord that General Qi died in battle, and General Qin is asking for reinforcements!¡±
"Report"
After breaking through Cao Jun¡¯s formation, the Qingzhou Iron Cavalry divided into three groups, Tai Shici went to the left, Lu Qiling and Ma Yunluan went to the right, and Wang Yu led his own army and drove directly to the middle. The three groups of soldiers and horses advanced together, and the offensive was in full swing.
Wang Yu¡¯s bravery is Cao Cao¡¯s pain.
The messengers carrying various colored flags ran like butterflies to the Chinese army and battle groups, bringing bad news one after another. The faces of Cao Ying's staff had lost their vitality. No matter how many moves they made, they had no chance to use them at this moment. They could only let the bad news that came frequently hit their hearts like a whip. .
Le Jin was injured and could not leave the firing line, but his severe injuries greatly limited his command level. In the war of the cold weapon era, the role of front-line commanders was very huge. Without their command and hard work, the general would not be able to strategize. It's just a joke.
Qi Ji and Qin Yi are surrendered generals from Huainan. They have superb martial arts and are quite famous in Huainan. On that day, Liu Ye and Liu Xun led their troops northward, but were defeated by Lu Bu and Wei Yan at the foot of Xiangyi City. The Huainan generals were either dead or captured, and the entire army was almost destroyed. Lieutenants Chen Lan and Qiao Rui were both killed on the battlefield. Liu Xun managed to break through. But he was seriously injured and waiting to die, becoming a disabled person. On the contrary, Liu Ye, a civil servant, escaped from death.
Liu Ye was able to escape not because he suddenly exploded, but because of the protection of these two people. It goes without saying that these two people were brave enough to escape while protecting a burden in such a dangerous situation.
Cao Cao always knew how to make good use of people, and he did not dislike the bravery and lack of strategy of the second general, so he directly appointed him as Le Jin's deputy general. Now Le Jin was seriously injured, Qi Ji died in the battle, and Qin Yi was left alone to support him. The mountain formation of heavily armored infantry was about to collapse.
The news of Shi Huan¡¯s death in battle made matters worse.
Shi Huan¡¯s military position is that of a lieutenant in the Central Military Academy. He is Cao Cao¡¯s confidant and a military commander of considerable standards. Originally, his position was on the fourth line of defense of the Chinese army, but when Cao Cao heard that Le Jin was seriously injured, he wanted to ask him to reinforce him and at the same time, he replaced Le Jin to exercise command. However, this man's luck was so bad that he actually ran into him. Qingzhou's main team died at the hands of Wang Yu.
The resistance in the front line has not been completely eliminated, but the decline of Cao's army is obvious. The staff can neither come up with any clever ideas to turn the tide, nor can they fight in battle. They can do nothing but tremble and can only watch helplessly. He looked at his lord, hoping that he would come up with an idea.
But Cao Cao seemed to be unable to come up with a good solution. He just looked at the battlefield with a livid face, waving the battle flag like a madman: "Stick up, the spearmen stick up!"
Years of experience in leading battles told him that this battle had reached a critical moment. The speed that the opponent has accumulated for a long time is losing. The combat effectiveness of cavalry without speed is not much higher than that of infantry. He has not yet been defeated, and he still has a chance to create a miracle.
With this belief, he used his command flag to drive forward one group after another, trying to block the advance of the cavalry with the human sea tactic.
The rolling crowd surged up and collided head-on with the red tide, but they could not stop the strong momentum of the red tide. They suddenly shrank back, but soon opened up violently, like an epiphyllum that had been silent for hundreds of years. , instantly in full bloom.
After all, it is a strong army that has experienced hundreds of battles. Even if it cannot stop the fierce enemy for a while, it will not be intimidated by this fierceness.
The spear with the white wax as the pole and the black iron as the edge spread out in all directions, stabbing hard at the person who stood in front of him. Regardless of whether it could pierce the blood-red armor, he turned a blind eye to the five-foot green blade flashing in front of him.
With only one piece of leather armor on his body, the sword-and-shielder rushed forward along the blood path opened by the spearman, pushed down the robe in front of him, and charged straight at the enemy. It¡¯s not that they didn¡¯t know that they were no match for the cavalry, which was far superior to them in both attack and defense, but they still moved forward bravely.
Because they are also powerful soldiers in the world and have their own pride!
Their combat prowess is very different from that of their opponent, and almost one move can tell the difference between life and death.
But the first fell, the second rushed forward, the second fell, the third and fourth rushed forward without hesitation. If the weapon was broken, they would hold it with their hands and bite it with their teeth. If they could not touch the rider, they would hold it. Horse legs! Try your best until the rider on the horse is exhausted, until the enemy is torn from the horse, until they are turned into corpses and mixed into dust.
The red blood soaked the yellow earth, and even the blue sky was stained with a layer of blood. The luster of the cavalry became more and more vivid. However, under the successive blocks of Cao's army, the speed of the cavalry assault finally slowed down.
After the defeat of Qu Yi, this is the first time Wang Yu has encountered such a strong opponent, and he was actually entangled.
"Beat the drum, beat the drum to urge the battle!" Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief and repeated the previous order again.
"Dong dong dong" Crazy war drums sounded from Cao Cao's central army. Accompanied by the drum beat, the formation expanded faster and more urgently, like water waves struck by throwing stones, continuous, soft, but difficult to stop, slowly seeping into the red tide.
To be honest, Cao Cao's command was not brilliant, but the eyes of his staff looked at him with full respect. No one can use the human sea tactic. If it were replaced by a ragtag group, the reinforcements might get mixed up with the front army, which would mess up their own position.
"The scene looks better, but the casualties are too great. To kill one cavalry, at least ten lives must be lost!"
"Zhongde is rightly concerned. The remaining soldiers of the mountain formation are still fighting hard. If they are completely defeated, the light armored soldiers behind may"
Unable to help and unable to retreat, the staff finally regained their spirits after taking a breath and started discussing the situation of the war in whispers. Although they see hope of reversal, most people still cannot shake off their pessimism, even celebrities like Liu Ye and Cheng Yu are no exception.
Although the momentum of the cavalry has slowed down, it is still moving forward as a whole. Cao Jun's infantry is completely filling in with their lives. Although Cao Cao trained well and his troops could maintain their fighting spirit despite suffering such heavy casualties, who can guarantee that the soldiers will persevere to the end?
"Everyone, take a closer look. Not only is the enemy's momentum slowing down, their room for maneuver is also decreasing!" Guo Jia, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "The strength of the cavalry is ultimately based on fighting in array. On the basis of that, now, their speed is slowing down, and our infantry is surrounding them one by one!"
Guo Jia¡¯s words hit the mark. The staff thought about it carefully and nodded one after another, feeling that it made sense. Only Cheng Yu, who had always been unconvinced by Guo Jia, questioned: "It's strange to say that Wang Yu is not a person who doesn't know how to use soldiers. At this time, he can just back off a little and speed up again."
"It's not surprising." Guo Jia shook his head and pointed to the two wings of the Yanxing Formation: "When the cavalry gallops, the damage caused by bows and arrows to them is limited. With their speed, they can avoid more than 80% of the attacks, and the rest rely on their armor to resist. Enough, now, their speed has slowed down, and the lethality of the arrows is increasing! Because of this, Wang Yu suddenly divided his troops."
"That's it." Everyone was stunned, their faces regained their excitement, and they looked towards the two wings. No wonder the lord has never changed his order. It turns out that there is still this level of calculation.
At this moment, loud cheers suddenly sounded from the city wall behind them. The staff looked back in surprise and joy, and saw that the big flag erected on the North City Tower was slowly falling down!
"Have you finally captured Lu Bu?" Dong Zhao's voice trembled violently, this time not out of fear, but out of surprise.
"Lu Bu takes the title, Qingzhou's fine cavalry has exhausted its momentum, this battle" Liu Ye suddenly became excited, his eyes were shining brightly, and he seemed to be unable to control his emotions.
"If we can win this battle, we will turn the world around! How much better than the great ancestor who broke the Xiang Ji in Gaixia!" Cheng Yu couldn't help laughing out loud: "Ha, ha, ha, it's destiny. , this is where destiny belongs!¡±
Lu Bu's remnant troops contained tens of thousands of Cao's troops, and they were all elite troops. Xiahou Dun was the leader of Cao Cao's generals, and Dian Wei and Xu Chu led Cao Cao's bodyguards. In addition, the martial arts of these three men were second to none among Cao's generals. Lu Bu's remnant army played a great role in containing them. .
Now that the momentum of the Qingzhou Iron Cavalry has been gradually curbed, if some troops are mobilized from the city, there is still great hope of turning defeat into victory.
The staff cheered a few times and rushed to Cao Cao, ready to share the joy with their lord. But when I got closer, I realized that Cao Cao's brows were still frowning tightly, and he looked more nervous than when he heard the bad news from the front line.
"My lord" They wanted to ask but didn't dare, so they hesitated and stopped.
"RumbleRumbleRumble" At this moment, the war drums were beating in the Qingzhou army formation. The sound of the drums was short and exciting, powerful and high-spirited. It was first like the roar of a beast before it pounces, and then like the sudden burst of a mountain torrent. .
Hearing the sound of the drums, Cao Cao, who was commanding the troops to expand the victory, suddenly froze as if he had been stung by a bee. Then he turned his back to the sky and shouted loudly, "The cavalry is back, both wings, come back quickly"
"Come back, stop them, come back" Cao Cao shouted at the top of his lungs, and the messengers had no time to run around anymore, and shouted directly at the center of the army at the top of their lungs.
Disaster is coming??They already smell death!
Danger arises from both wings, and it is the enemy's light cavalry that is in charge!
Under the command of Zhao Yun, this cavalry took the characteristics of gathering and dispersing freely to the extreme. Previously, it turned around and looked like it was going to attack the leopard cavalry behind it, but now it was like a hidden dragon emerging from the abyss. Quick and flexible, he turned again at an incredible speed, bypassed the car array on both sides, and attacked from the side. Looking at the momentum, he was about to seal his throat with a sword!
This is the real killer move of the enemy. The previous central breakthrough and cavalry stepping into the formation turned out to be just a cover-up to attack in the east and in the west. The enemy general is so cunning, more cunning than a fox and more sinister than a poisonous snake.
Without Cao Cao¡¯s orders, the crossbowmen on both wings turned around together and tried their best to shoot the most dense arrows to their sides. He had already seen through the enemy's plan, but unfortunately he was still a little slow
The arrows fired in a hurry were not accurate at all. Most of the arrows missed the target that was close at hand. A few of them hit the target, but the force was obviously not enough to cause fatal damage.
The Qingqi that suddenly turned around was like a gust of wind, hitting the already scattered two-wing military formation heavily, smashing it to pieces! (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
