There were several more rounds of arrow rain, and the cavalry blocked by Liu Jun in front of the military formation was hit by almost all the arrow rain!
"Pfft..."
"ah!"
One by one, the knights fell off their horses, and some began to turn their horses around to retreat.
"Kill!" Liu Jun's army formation opened, and Huang Zhong led two thousand cavalry out of the formation, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back!
At this time, Zang Ba's fierce expression turned panicked, "Withdraw troops!"
The deputy general in Kaiyang City did not see Zang Ba killing everyone, but waited until he led the remaining soldiers into the city in confusion.
In the 16th year of Jian'an, on February 26, Zhou Yu defeated Zang Ba's 30,000 heroic cavalry outside Kaiyang City!
Zhou Yu killed and wounded more than 20,000 Cao Jun knights and captured 3,000 enemy troops at the cost of nearly the entire Huben army being killed!
"Lu Xun, Ding Feng, Jiang Qin! You lead 20,000 troops and besiege Kaiyang immediately! Kaiyang has less than 4,000 defenders. If you cannot conquer the city within one day, come and see us!"
"As you command!"
On the top of Kaiyang City, Zang Ba could still feel the dull pain in his arm. He frowned and looked at Liu Jun who was surrounding the city outside the city. Zang Ba smiled bitterly.
He was so self-righteous that he did not listen to what Xun You and Dong Zhao said. He was so arrogant that he left the infantry behind, and he was so arrogant that he wanted to attack Zhou Yu's banner.
Zhou Yu's large banner remained in front of him, but the Huben Army and Liu Army blocking it were like a natural chasm! It was beyond his reach.
He didn't even expect, no, he still can't figure out how Liu Jun shot so many arrows. Now, thousands of cavalry are trapped in the city, and all the good cavalry have become infantry.
"Fire the arrow!"
Liu Jun outside the city quickly answered his doubts. The crossbow on the soldier's arm was not loaded, and he shot arrows again and again!
"What is that?" Zang Ba lay on the city stamp and stared, "This is why Liu Jun can shoot arrows!"
"General, be careful!"
The deputy general pulled Zang Ba back, and Zang Ba's eyes suddenly showed light again, "Li Nong, how many more horses do we have?"
The lieutenant general replied, "General, there are less than three thousand usable horses. The rest are injured, and there is no food in the city. Our army's food is all with the infantry in the rear."
Zang Ba was a little excited at this moment, but also unusually calm, "Gather all the available war horses, we are ready to break out!"
"Breakout?"
"That's right, there is no food in the city. Our army has just been defeated. If we can't hold it, you go and prepare three hundred men who dare to die. I will resist for a while. Go quickly!"
"promise!"
"Kill! Pfft..."
Cao Jun deserves to be the elite of the North. Even though they had just lost the battle, even if the cavalry turned into infantry to defend the city, they still resisted Liu Jun's attack without fear of death.
"Bo Yan, look, Cao Jun looks like he has just been defeated." Outside the city, Ding Feng and Lu Xun were riding on the top of the hill, looking at Liu Jun who was attacking the city.
Lu Xun smiled and looked at Ding Fengdao, "It doesn't matter, General Zhou means to wipe out this cavalry. They are just trapped beasts still fighting. We will definitely be able to conquer the city within today!"
"Okay!" "Qiang!"
Ding Feng drew out the sword from his waist, looked at Lu Xun and said seriously, "Bo Yan is commanding the army here. I will personally lead the troops to attack the city! The city will be conquered within today!"
Lu Xun smiled and nodded, "Chengyuan, be careful."
"kill!"
The city gate suddenly opened, and Zang Ba was riding on his horse and kept saying, "Li Nong, remember this. Remember all of you. If you can take back one of the enemy's crossbows, the Prime Minister must have many abilities."
reward!"
"This general will be replaced by Li Nong if he dies in battle. If Li Nong dies in battle, he will be replaced level by level!"
"promise!"
"kill!"
"General, a group of enemy cavalry broke out from the city gate."
General Liu Jun, who was guarding the east of the city, was not a general whose name was recorded in history books. He waved his hands indifferently and said, "They are looking for death. We have so many people. How many of his three hundred cavalry can escape? Ignore it."
, only three hundred people, conquering the city is the most important thing."
"kill!"
"Pfft!"
Zang Ba personally led the troops to break out of the encirclement, not caring about his bleeding arms, and the sword in his hand was already curled!
"Crossbow!" Zang Ba looked at the crossbow in his hand with bright eyes. With this gadget, his guilt for this defeat could be greatly reduced.
If Cao Jun has this thing, he will be evenly matched against Liu Jun in the future. Instead of being beaten by infantry like today, the cavalry will be beaten!
"Pfft...ugh!"
"General!"
Zang Ba was hit by an arrow in the chest again, and Li Nong shouted in surprise and galloped over.
Zang Ba pushed the bloody Liannu into Li Nong's arms, "We must break out..."
"Boom!"
Glancing at Zang Ba who fell to the ground, Li Nong wiped away his tears and said, regardless of his sadness, "Rush!"
At the same time, a battle was also going on on the border between Ju County and Kaiyang.
"kill!"
"Ah! Run, run!"
It was almost a one-sided massacre. After Cao Jun's field soldiers and newly recruited strong men were defeated by Zhou Yu's army, a fight broke out.
It wasn't until the setting sun turned the ground golden that Liu Jun stopped pursuing.
Huang Zhong rode his horse and ran to Zhou Yu to report, "General Zhou, our army has won a great victory. We captured six thousand prisoners and killed more than ten thousand enemies!"
Zhou Yu stood on the chariot and looked at Cao Jun who was kneeling on the ground with his head in his arms. He smiled happily and said, "After today, my name, Zhou Yu, should be as good as Pang Shiyuan's, right?"
"Hahaha……"
The surrounding generals laughed happily, and Lu Su laughed and joked, "Gong Jin, you are really unwilling to fall behind others. What will our army do next? Will we return to Kaiyang to defend the city?"
"
Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "The captured rations for Cao's army are only enough to last for a while. Our army has to return to the south."
"What do you mean?"
"Go back to Kaiyang for two days to repair, and then send troops to continue plundering food." After saying that, Zhou Yu's eyes turned cold, "Plunder the people and go south!"
In troubled times, population is the capital of war. In order to delay Cao's army before, he didn't put much thought into managing the people, so he drove them away.
But now, they are all ready to leave. It would be a shame for Cao Cao not to rob him again.
"Is Gongjin going back?"
Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Our army's strategic goal has been achieved. Cao's army in Huainan will definitely send troops to rescue them again, but they should not go into battle easily again."
"The land of Qingxu is Cao Cao's hinterland after all. Our army cannot stay any longer. If Cao Cao's army is determined to destroy us, we will not be able to escape."
Lu Su actually knew it was time to leave, but when he thought about having to take a boat when he went back, he trembled all over.
Zhou Yu saw through what he was thinking and joked with a smile, "Zijing, are you afraid of taking a boat?"
"How is that possible?" Lu Su saw through what he was thinking and replied harshly, turning his head and not daring to look at Zhou Yu.
"Hahaha……"
Within the same day, Zhou Yu first defeated Zang Ba's cavalry, and then defeated the infantry in the rear. In the land of Qingxu, there were no more soldiers and horses that could resist Zhou Yu's army!
