Chapter 576 The Last Resistance
The surging sea-like charge that Wei Yan imagined did not appear. Instead, tens of thousands of warriors rushed out holding torches. In fact, what they held was not a torch, but a javelin head wrapped in oilcloth and set alight. Tens of thousands of warriors rushed out.
Riders holding flaming javelins rushed towards Cao Jun's camp, like a sea of stars surging.
Wei Yan didn't understand what his opponent wanted to do. Suddenly a look of horror appeared on his face and he exclaimed: "No!" Then he shouted loudly: "Retreat! Retreat quickly!" The soldiers of Cao's army did not understand what was going on.
No action was taken.
At this moment, tens of thousands of cavalrymen holding flaming javelins rushed to the camp near the gate, and with the help of the power of the running horses, they threw the javelins into the camp. I saw fire raining all over the sky!
Countless flaming javelins fell into the camp and instantly ignited the firewood, saltpeter, and sulfur oil that Cao Jun had previously arranged. Countless fire heads sprang up, like fire snakes raising their heads. The flames spread quickly, turning into a sea of fire in the blink of an eye, and the flames roared into the sky!
The 20,000 Cao troops who were ambushing in the camp could no longer hide and ran around screaming.
Like headless flies, there was chaos. Wei Yan only led a few hundred cavalry to rush out of the sea of fire and flames, and ran onto the pontoon. He stopped the dock and looked back, only to see that a fortress had been burned into a huge furnace.
, amidst the roaring flames, our own soldiers were burned to death one after another, and the shrill screams resounded through the sky!
Wei Yan was frightened and quickly led hundreds of cavalry to flee towards the other side.
The warships arranged on the river, fearing that they would be affected by the flames, sailed away from the shore and hid in the distance.
…
The sight turns to the south bank camp.
Cao's army's attack has entered the final stage. Waves of Cao's army hit the last line of defense of the War Bear Army one after another. The War Bear Army usually resisted but was on the verge of collapse.
Roar! The attack group of Cao's army roared together and slammed into the defense line of the War Bear Legion. The War Bear Legion could no longer resist and collapsed. Cao's army surged in, and the soldiers of both sides fought in a bloody battle!
A heavy infantryman of the War Bear Legion, wielding his saber and slashing an enemy with all his strength, was immediately stabbed in the chest by three enemy spearmen who followed him! He was knocked back two steps.
With a loud roar, Fu rushed forward again, swung his horse-cutting sword and slashed down the enemy spearman on the left. The other two spearmen were taken aback, and screamed like crazy, thrusting their spears at them.
stabbed together with long spears
On top of his heavy armor, the heavy armor was cracked but not penetrated. The heavy infantryman held the opponent's two spears with his left hand, raised his horse-killing sword with his right hand and looked at it fiercely. There was a click, and the two spears were
The spears were cut off together. The two Cao soldiers were startled. Before they could react, the heavy infantry stepped forward, raised their horse-cutting swords with both hands and slashed horizontally, decapitating the two Cao soldiers.
Fly out!
However, before the heavy infantryman could take a breath, a cavalryman from the Cao army rushed towards him and smashed his helmet with a mace and smashed his head!
On the other side, dozens of Lu Bu's army's warriors raised their horses and launched a desperate charge! Dozens of warriors' cavalry crashed heavily into the enemy soldiers. Their horses collided with their spears and stabbed them, killing Cao's soldiers. However, these dozens of warriors and cavalry were thrown off their backs!
He soon fell into a forest of swords and spears from the opponent. The forest of spears surged forward, and each of the warriors was knocked to the ground. Before they had time to get up, they were stabbed by countless spears and turned into a honeycomb of trouble!
Although the War Bear Legion was brave and skilled in fighting, they gradually became unable to sustain themselves in the face of crazy enemies that were several times their size.
Zang Ba rode on his horse and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Search the defense line!"
The War Bear Legion fought while retreating, causing heavy casualties on both sides.
The War Bear Legion finally formed a circular formation, with the shield bearers in front and the spearmen following, and the remaining heavy infantry, crossbowmen and cavalry in the middle. The blood-stained battle flags were flying in the air! At this moment, the sun was setting in the west, and the sky and the earth were covered in darkness.
Blood red, crows flew across the sky and made a croaking sound.
The red-eyed cavalry of Cao's army surged up, and the crossbowmen of the War Bear Legion immediately sent out a wave of arrows. The arrows fell, causing countless ripples in the rolling tide of troops, but it had no effect on the momentum of the wave!
The shield hand quickly overlapped the shields to form two shield walls nearly three meters high. Then countless spears poked out from the gaps between the shields, turning the circular formation into a giant hedgehog!
The tide of enemy troops hit the defense line heavily, making a huge and frightening impact. It didn't feel like a battle between humans, but like two giant beasts colliding fiercely together!
The shield bearers of the War Bear Legion tried their best to hold up the shield wall to maintain the front line. The enemy's impact speed quickly decreased and finally disappeared!
"Turn!" Zang Ba shouted loudly.
The hedgehog-like circular formation immediately started to rotate, and the sharp blades of the spears swept across. The Cao Jun soldiers who crowded the circular formation were torn apart and screamed and fell to the ground. In the countless rotating cold lights, Cao Jun's soldiers fell one after another, like
Like harvested wheat seedlings!
When Xun Yu saw this, he was startled and quickly ordered the attacking troops to suspend the attack. Cao Jun retreated in panic.
Xun Yu mobilized his crossbowmen and fired intensively at the circular formation of the Bear Army. The dense rain of arrows came one after another, covering the sky and the sun. When they fell into the middle of the circular formation, they could only hear the crackling sound, and the shield hand could not do anything at all.
The protection was complete, and many soldiers who lacked protection were knocked to the ground by arrows falling from the sky! Although there were casualties without interruption, the soldiers of the War Bear Legion always gritted their teeth and persisted, maintaining sincerity and stability!
When Xun Yu saw that his opponent was not in trouble, he couldn't help but admire in his heart. He turned around and ordered his soldiers: "Use wooden stakes to attack!"
The officers and soldiers of Cao's army immediately took action, using shield hands to cover hundreds of soldiers and rushing toward the circular formation with more than a dozen logs seven or eight meters long and two sea bowls thick. Lu Bu's army's crossbowmen immediately fired, but the arrows they fired were basically
The top is covered by the shield!
Cao Jun rushed to the front of the circular formation, and the shield bearers immediately withdrew. Hundreds of soldiers immediately rushed towards the circular formation with more than a dozen thick logs! 0 bang bang bang..., there was a loud sound like a battering ram hitting the city gate.
There was a loud noise, and each tower shield player was knocked away. The originally tight shield defense line appeared.
Countless gaps! Lu Bu's crossbowmen quickly gathered their fire. Hundreds of Cao's soldiers fell to the ground, and the attack stopped! However, the main force of Cao's army had already launched a new wave of attacks! The War Bear Army had no time to reorganize its defense line and was defeated by its opponent.
The rolling tide of soldiers smashed the circular formation into pieces in one go!
The two sides once again fell into a bloody and cruel melee! The waves of Cao's troops were getting higher and higher, their morale was like a rainbow, and they seemed crazy, while the soldiers of the War Bear Legion were struggling to hold on, and they refused to retreat in the bloody battle, with flesh and blood flying everywhere.
Falling on the killing battlefield.
