Chapter 1548 : Chapter Seven hundred and seventy-eight Battle in the night (2)
Before leaving, Cao Cao also told his generals to carry heavy shields to protect them from repeated crossbows. However, the current situation was in a hurry and he really could not equip those shields immediately.
This time, the loss was huge. After General Cao gave a wry smile, he immediately rode his horse and retreated into the formation.
General Cao retreated, but Cao's army in front was not so lucky, and the extremely dense crossbow arrows hit them.
"Ah, ah, ah."
Without a shield, the powerful crossbow arrows hit Cao's army with endless force, penetrating deep into his organs and bone marrow. At the same time as screams were made, most of Cao's soldiers who were hit by crossbow arrows also collapsed and died on the spot.[
"Rush over and fight with them."
General Cao originally wanted to form a formation to wait for the enemy, but now he knew that this was completely impossible. He gritted his teeth and yelled.
"Kill." Cao Jun was also fierce and was not intimidated by the burst of crossbow arrows. He roared and charged forward with his spear drawn.
"Hmph. Put down the repeating crossbow, hold the sword with both hands and fight." Seeing this, Dong Gai snorted coldly and ordered loudly.
"promise."
Countless soldiers of the king's generals strapped their repeating crossbows to their waists one after another, holding Mo Dao in both hands, and rushed towards Cao Jun with their golden swords.
Facing the oncoming Cao Jun, it was a burst of force.
The strange-shaped Mo Dao exerted great power in their hands. When they were swung, the wind was blowing, and they made a sound of breaking through the air.
When it hit Cao Jun, the sharp double-edged edge was like a butcher's knife, stabbing into the pig's neck easily.
On the contrary, the attack method of Cao Jun's spearmen was too simple, and it was just a stab. In the dense military formation, they could not even make a sweeping movement.
"Ah, ah, ah, ah."
Facing the Mo Dao that could ward off, cut, slice, and stab, they could only let out shrill screams, spraying blood and flesh, and then fell down row by row.
Really, to put it bluntly, this Cao army was like wheat, falling backwards. Soon, half of the original thousand people fell, leaving only five hundred people.
Although there was a steady stream of soldiers coming out of the camp, this method of death still made Cao Cao sweat profusely. For long-distance battles, there was a continuous crossbow, and for close combat, there was this so-called Mo Dao.
Moreover, they were caught off guard and the troops could not gather together. If this continued, it would be a massacre.
"Blow the horn, withdraw into the Chinese army, join up with General Zhang Liao's Chinese army, and resist again." At that moment, the brave and capable General Cao became frightened, raised the spear in his hand, roared, and took the lead in leading his troops.
Walk backwards.
As soon as General Cao retreated, Cao's soldiers, who had some military morale at first, suddenly lost their military morale. They abandoned the general's personal soldiers who were fighting and turned around and left.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The continuous sound of horns also suddenly sounded. Cao's soldiers who had originally walked out of various camps gave up fighting and chose to retreat to the rear.[
Standing on horseback, holding a long sword, the cold wind roared in the air, causing the red tassels on his head to fly. It was really as cold as water in the night. But at this moment, Dong Gai was in high spirits. He killed Cao's army and fled. How unhappy was it?
Dong Gai took a deep breath, and then roared: "Two thousand men will be used to cover them up, and the rest will set fire to the camp. I, the general, will burn these several miles of Cao's camp."
Immediately, Dong Gai waved his long sword and rode off in pursuit.
"Kill." More than two thousand of them roared together and followed Dong Gai to cover up the killing. The remaining soldiers began to light torches and burn down Cao's camp.
Soon after, a ball of fire shot up into the sky, shining in all directions with an overwhelming momentum. It also symbolized that one of the nine small camps of Cao's army had been breached.
