Chapter 264, Picking Fronts and Breaking the Formation
"General Zilong, you are so brave!"
"I heard from my lord that by the Yushui River, there was a white dragon soaring into the clouds. When I saw it today, it turned out to be true!"
At this time, the two armies were fighting, but within half an hour, Hua Xin was already dizzy and almost had high blood pressure.
The terrain where he stood was quite high, and Zhao Yun's heroic appearance in the formation could be clearly seen!
Next to Hua Xin, Xu Shu nodded repeatedly after listening to Honglu Cheng's words. After all, he had been by Fang Guang's side for a long time. In addition to admiring Zhao Yun, what impressed him more was Datong's vision.
Zhao Yun was born to be the commander of the selected vanguard camp. Compared with Guan Hai, the fierce man from Changshan could become the vanguard of the cavalry formation by himself.
The situation on the battlefield was exactly as Xu Shu imagined.
Zhao Yun rushed into the gap created by Yuan Jun's army, and was quickly amplified by the cavalry behind him.
Yan Liang's tribe was originally best at dealing with cavalry.
The Yuan army on both sides of the gap saw the cavalry charging towards them, and the spearmen instantly drew their spears forward. According to experience, the horses at this time should either turn their heads and pass by the two wings, or they should be forcibly restrained.
Neither Gongsun Zan nor the Hu chiefs of Wuhuan had the courage to attack the steel array.
The reason is obvious. The huge momentum will harm not only the infantry, but also the mounted soldiers.
Just like those of Liu Bei, if you pass through the passage and bump into it accidentally, even if you trample a few people and fall down, you will be knocked off your horse and become a pulp in an instant!
What Yuan Jun didn't know was that with the support of stirrups and high saddles, the cavalry in the front camp was almost equivalent to being tied to the war horse.
The roaring Cao Jun did not slow down, but increased its speed. The lance, which was more than ten feet long, pierced Yuan Jun's shield and armor, knocking the man several feet into the air.
The well-trained swordsman abandoned the spear at the moment of the stabbing, and took out the secondary weapon on the side of the horse with a smooth flow.
The seemingly simple movements could only be mastered after dozens of days of practice with Xiahou Dun outside the city of Xuchang.
Even with a wooden pole without a spearhead, Zhao Yun stabbed Xiahou Yuanrang's Buqu, leaving him covered in bruises.
Fang Guang spent his own money to reward the soldiers of his good brothers, and then completed the transformation of the Selection Camp.
That is to say, Da Sinong, General Zhengdong, has such a reputation, how can the rest of them mobilize Xiahou's troops?
Countless times of training have resulted in today’s familiarity.
The heavy cavalrymen who had abandoned their spears had large axes and bone swords in their hands, which were all armor-breaking weapons that became popular during the Song and Jin Dynasties.
Used to deal with Hebei Iron Turtle, it is the best use of everything.
Amidst the dull roar, pieces of Yuan Jun's troops were knocked to the ground, wailing and unable to get up.
Wherever the big ax struck, his skull was dented or his ribs were broken, and his numerous internal organs were shattered. Yuan Jun fell to the ground and could not get up again. Behind his visor, thick blood spurted out from his seven orifices.
came out and scattered on the ground.
When Yan Liang saw this, he felt that his eyelids were twitching more and more.
The boss of Hebei Sitingzhu clearly saw that a Cao Jun heavy-armored cavalry was held in place by four or five spears. The man calmly broke the barrels of the spears with the hammer in his hand, and opened fire one by one.
The head of a Hebei infantryman.
In less than a moment, Zhao Yun's spearhead had already pierced the hardest part of the Hebei military formation.
There were constant charging cavalry, breaking into the center of the large square formation and massacring without restraint, trimming and disarming the soldiers of Sergeant Yuan.
"Good thief, come and die quickly!"
Yan Liang slapped his right eye socket hard, and rushed towards Chang Shan Fang Guang like a tiger. In the distance, next to Liu Xuande who was smiling and talking to Hua Xin, a big man in green robe saw Yan Liang moving, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
In front of the Dongjun Army formation, not only Yan Liang was frightened, but Xia Houen, the most powerful general in Cao Camp, saw his good brother Zilong killing the enemy, and the blood in his body was boiling.
Xia Houen loved to play with Fang Guang. As they played, Xia Houen had the illusion that he was indeed a rare warrior in this world.
Seeing that the Hebei military formation was in complete chaos from within, almost all of the two hundred selected vanguard cavalry had reached the center of the square formation and began to attack Yan Liang's formation centrifugally.
The entire Hebei military formation is slowly being cut apart.
"Hua Gong, Yuan Zhi, it's my turn to charge. The five hundred tigers and leopards under my command are already hungry and thirsty!"
"Yan Liang can't stand it anymore. If this kid breaks the formation, it's like a broken house. If I, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, kick it again, it will collapse in here!"
The people around Fang Guang didn't know Xia Houen's background.
Xu Shu knew in his heart that if he won today, General Xiahou would be considered defeated if he made a mistake, so he quickly spoke out to stop him.
"General Xiahou, there is no need to use a sword to kill a chicken. The general's tiger and leopard cavalry are the strongest cavalry under the lord's command!"
"This army should be in reserve here. When Yuan's army is defeated, we can pursue him!"
"General, don't be anxious. The general is a great talent and will definitely be put to use!"
Xu Shu kept talking and persuaded Xia Houen.
He turned his head and saw the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang not far away. Their eyes widened together, as if they were watching a fantasy movie. Looking at the situation in front of him, the corners of their mouths turned up in disdain.
At this time, Gan Ning, who had the keenest sense of the battlefield on the battle formation, without Xu Shu's military orders, had already led his soldiers in brocade robes to kill deeply on both sides along the passage that the vanguard camp had attacked.
The army was victorious with the formation. After losing its square inch, the extremely thick Hebei formation became clumsy. When there was no cover, the problems of weak flanks were revealed.
Gan Ning's Buqu, the sword strikes the waist and ribs sideways, which is the same as Liu Ye's family technique.
There were also some Jiang thieves who were born as barbarians in Bazhou. They chopped off the head of Yuan Jun who had fallen dead, tied it around his waist, and looked up to the sky, roaring like an ape.
These are the descendants of the soldiers left by Pingba, the Qin people. After hundreds of years, they still have the fighting style of the Qin people in their bones.
The fierce cavalry, as sharp as barbarians, the slow but determined Dongjun disciples, threw away their crossbows and drew their swords and rushed straight towards the Jishu camp soldiers.
Yuan Jun finally couldn't hold on any longer. Although he had not yet collapsed, he fell to the ground dead and wounded one after another.
Yan Liang, who was galloping forward on horseback, knew that he had reached the most important moment in his life. The sound of his sword danced in the wind and he rushed straight towards Zhao Yun.
"Thieves, suffer death!"
"Well done!"
In the Battle of Jieqiao, two fierce men from Hebei who had collided before were fighting together again.
The swords and spears collided, and for a moment, the killing was evenly matched.
This kind of one-on-one duel is different from the sparring in front of the battle. While attacking, both sides must also beware of side attacks from the soldiers on the opposite side.
Zhao Yun dodged Captain Yuan's spear and stabbed him. Yan Liang forced him away and chose the front cavalry to slash him with his sword.
Next to Liu Bei, Guan Yu stared straight at Yan Liang.
The second brother got on his horse, and without saying hello to Xuande and Zhang Fei, he patted his horse and rushed straight towards Yan Liang along the passage where the Dongjun soldiers and horses rushed out.
Within a moment, Yun Chang's mount rushed to Yan Liang's side.
The boss of Hebei Sitingzhu had just dodged Zhao Yun's carbine, and while he was calming down, he heard a strong wind coming from behind his head.
Yan Liang turned his head and looked. Less than five steps behind him, a big man in green robe, none other than Xie Liang Guan Yu, had sneaked up to his side.
The Qinglong Yanyue Sword roared and roared, coming towards you head-on!
