Chapter 472 The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, and the dragon cavalry camp are the prestige that came out!
On the third day after Zhu Ran set up an ambush, there was still no movement from Cao's army.
"Is Cao Jun really a bunch of tortoises from the year before last? Can you tolerate this? Sigh..." Just when Zhu Ran sighed and was about to lead his army back to the camp, a sentry suddenly came to report: "General! Found out twenty miles away.
Cao's cavalry is rushing towards our ambush circle!"
"It's finally here!" Zhu Ran perked up after hearing this, and then excitedly and decisively ordered: "Send my military order, all units will enter the designated ambush location, and wait until more than half of the enemy's army listens to my order to attack!"
"Here!" The messenger around him ran away quickly, and soon the sound of chirping sounded in the woods.
Zhu Ran said to another messenger: "Notify General Dong Xi and ask him to come as quickly as possible to encircle and suppress the enemy. If you are late, there will be no credit to be gained!"
"yes!"
When the ordering soldiers had gone away, Zhu Ran crouched on the slope of the mountain forest and smiled smugly: "Hehe! My, Zhu Ran, opportunity to become famous in one battle is here!"
"drive!"
"Drive!"
Zhao Yun is in front and Xia Houlan is behind.
From a distance, Zhao Yun saw an extremely dense forest in front of him, and the road was relatively narrow, which was conducive to an ambush. So Zhao Yun said to Xia Houlan: "The forest ahead is dense and the road is rugged. Send my order to the general, and the army will speed up and pass quickly!"
After Xia Houlan heard Zhao Yun's words, he immediately issued a military order: "Brothers, speed up and be careful!"
"Hold the shield!"
"Hand crossbow!"
"Whoosh!"
Although the dragoon battalion is light cavalry, they are all equipped with small round shields.
After receiving Xiahoulan's order to protect themselves carefully, the cavalrymen of the Dragon Cavalry Battalion uniformly took off the round shields behind them and took off the one-handed repeating crossbows from their waists. This was practiced countless times in daily life and has been engraved on it.
Memory built into the muscles.
"Five miles to go!"
Zhu Ran was feeling nervous and excited as he listened to the news constantly coming from the sentinels. Sweat appeared on his forehead unconsciously.
"Boom!"
The thunderous sound of horse hooves sounded, and the ground began to tremble slightly.
Jiangdong Army in this area had almost never seen a large group of cavalry charging. Looking at the smoke and dust rising in the distance, feeling the slight trembling of the earth beneath them, a feeling of fear suddenly appeared in their hearts.
But the good news is that they are just laying an ambush and do not need any frontal cavalry.
Generally speaking, ambushing one side will give you a big advantage. Some ambushed troops even broke up before the two sides even started close contact.
However, the Dragon Cavalry Camp obviously does not fall within this general range...
The extremely fast Dragon Riding Battalion has now entered an ambush circle, and Zhao Yun's instinct for danger has begun to stimulate his nerves.
"There is an ambush! The whole army is on defense!"
"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!"
Zhao Yun and Zhu Ran's shouts sounded almost at the same time, but the response of the Longqi battalion soldiers was faster than that of Jiangdong soldiers.
"Defense!!" Xia Houlan also shouted, reminding the cavalry behind him who was a little slower to react.
“Tuk-tuk-tuk!”
"ah!"
Arrows rained down, and most of them missed due to the speed of the cavalry; some of them hit the bucklers in the hands of the cavalry; only a very small part of the arrows hit the soldiers of the dragoon battalion without protection.
place, or shot a war horse, causing dozens of casualties.
"Fight back!" Xia Houlan shouted!
"Thud, tug, tug, tug, tug, tug, tug!!!!" The sound of crossbow shooting suddenly sounded!
After the Jiangdong Army archers fired the first wave of arrows, they were about to unfurl their bows and shoot the second wave. Unexpectedly, the enemy raised their hand crossbows and pointed at the woods on both sides with a "Thud!"
Nearly one hundred thousand crossbow arrows were fired into the ambush locations on both sides of Jiangdong's army.
The Jiangdong soldiers who were caught off guard were immediately stunned by the shots. For a while, many of them fell down after being hit by arrows, while some others ran away with their heads in their hands!
Zhu Ran was lying on the ground. Several crossbow arrows had just rubbed his scalp and flew over his head, frightening him out of his wits.
When the crossbow arrows stopped shooting and Zhu Ran raised his head to look, Cao Jun's cavalry had already rushed out of the ambush circle!
This doesn't look like being ambushed at all!
"Damn it! Why did Cao's army react so quickly?!" Zhu Ran couldn't help but cursed. The ambush troops he had ambushed in front to block the road didn't even have time to show up...
Just when Zhu Ran was about to withdraw his troops, he suddenly realized: "That's not good!"
"I think I just sent someone to ask Dong Xi to come over!"
It's going to happen!
Zhu Ran felt that he might have tricked Dong Xi, so he quickly ordered: "Everyone, follow me to hunt down Cao Jun! Make great achievements today!"
"kill!"
"Kill!"
Zhu Ran now only hoped that Dong Xi could delay Cao's cavalry for a while.
...
Under Zhaoling City, five thousand Jiangdong soldiers, under the leadership of Dong Xi, were taking turns launching "attacks" against the city wall.
The reason for the quotation marks is that their attack was basically just a show. Every time they approached the city wall, when the defenders on the city wall began to fire arrows back, the group of people retreated with their shields on their backs.
After repeating this cycle three or four times, just when Dong Xi thought that today was another day of soy sauce, a messenger suddenly rushed to report.
"Report! General, Cao Jun has appeared! General Zhu ordered you to lead your troops to support!"
"Damn it, these little turtles are finally here!" Dong Xi heard this and said excitedly: "Come here, follow me to intercept Cao's army and gain military exploits!"
"Boom!"
However, before Dong Xi could get his troops in order, bursts of thunderous noises came from far and near!
Dong Xi shouted in surprise: "What's going on?!"
Some experienced veterans reacted and immediately shouted: "It's the cavalry, it's the cavalry!!!"
The veteran's voice revealed fear and helplessness. If there weren't other comrades watching around him, they might have turned around and ran away.
Under the high-speed sprint of the cavalry, the infantry without heavy armor were almost like lambs waiting to be slaughtered on the chopping block, and there was no way to resist them.
"Cavalry!" Dong Xi also showed a hint of fear, "How could Cao's cavalry come so quickly! Where is our ambush? Didn't our ambush succeed?"
But no matter what, in front of the four-legged war horse, the two-legged human beings have no chance of escaping, and now the only way is to fight.
Dong Xi still reacted as a qualified general should.
"Form up! Meet the enemy!"
The soldiers reacted instinctively and formed square formations one after another, preparing to welcome the arrival of Cao's army.
"The enemy is coming!"
The sentinel had already shouted loudly, and the Jiangdong soldiers finally saw the ferocious and terrifying face of the Dragoon Army!
The army was in good formation, and looking at the densely packed soldiers around him, Dong Xi felt a little at ease.
But before he could give the next order, the soldiers at the front suddenly started to commotion!
"Former General! Zhao!!!"
"It's Zhao Zilong! Zhao Zilong of the Dragoon Army!!!"
"Lu Yan's dragoon army is here! We are finished! We are finished!"
