But how could such elite detective cavalry from the three groups of Cao's troops sent by Zhang Liao disappear without a trace under his nose, which was not far away? How could these elites be wiped out by these seemingly unbearable enemy soldiers?
Any left?
And just when Zhang Liao had a premonition that something was wrong and wanted to order something to make amends, the sound of powerful and roaring hoofbeats suddenly rumbled in the distance, and a cavalry suddenly appeared, carrying a bloody and crazy majestic momentum.
The high-spirited and high-spirited iron-blooded mounts at the head set off the majestic power of the heavenly army, roaring and thundering across the sky and earth, like a raging sea tide, roaring waves crashing on the shore, and appearing behind the enemy's lines with loud roars and explosions.
The first general is none other than Cao Hong!
At this time, the five thousand cavalry led by Cao Hong rolled up a cloud of dust from the sky and launched a majestic and crazy attack on Sun Jun's rear.
The strong four legs of the war horse rhythmically curled up, stretched out, curled up, and stretched out. Each vertical step was several meters away. Five thousand fierce horses were running wild at the same time, shaking the earth.
When Cao Hong's encircling and flanking troops appeared behind Sun's army, they had not yet approached the enemy formation and started killing wildly. The explosive shouts of five thousand elite cavalry broke the silence of the world. Facing this iron barrel, which almost gave up all offensive means and tried its best to defend.
In the formation, they really didn't have much to worry about, and their opponents looked so vulnerable.
Just when they were planning to roar and rage forward on the battlefield with their indulgent streamlined lines boiling like blood, Han Dang, who had been defeated by Cao Hong just now, seemed to have been prepared. At this time, he had already changed the direction of his troops, and
After breaking away from the rear of Tietong's main formation, they suddenly met Cao Hong.
"kill!!"
This time it was the turn of Han Dang and his soldiers. Amidst roaring roars, he and his iron-blooded cavalry violently collided with Cao Hong and the five thousand cavalry of Cao's army who were advancing together. They thought victory was in sight.
At this moment, Han Dang finally regained his true colors as a warrior. He led three thousand knights all the way, slashing bravely. The blood mixed with the soil, and the broken limbs and broken arms were like curling red flaming lang flowers.
, the iron hoof steps out the deepest music in the world, rising and falling amidst the killing and roaring.
The five thousand soldiers of Cao's army who originally wanted to launch a surprise attack and deliver a fatal blow to Sun's army were a little confused when the two torrents of steel collided. They couldn't get used to it for a while. They were not used to their opponent suddenly becoming stronger. Cao Hong couldn't help but
Being used to the fact that his defeated general was so brave now, Cao Hong's men were a little confused at the beginning of the fight.
"Don't panic!" Cao Hong screamed in the battle formation: "The opponent only has three thousand people. Give me the order to retreat a little and put some distance between us. The others will follow me to kill..."
After all, Cao Hong had been in battle for a long time. After being beaten hard by his opponent for a while, he began to wake up and adjust his layout to kill again.
Cao Hong was right. Even if his opponent Han Dang made him get to know him again by surprise. Cao Hong also thought that maybe in the first round of the forward confrontation between him and Han Dang, the opponent had hidden his weakness. But even if they concealed their strength, they still couldn't.
There are only three thousand cavalry, but he has five thousand cavalry, and they are all the most elite cavalry in Cao's army. No matter how hard he fights, it is impossible to fail.
Moreover, Cao Hong knew that the key point of using cavalry was to keep distance and take advantage of the impact. Therefore, while Cao Hong asked the cavalry in the front that had already interacted with the enemy to resist the enemy's attack, he ordered the rear that had not yet entered.
The fighting cavalry retreated slightly, and while they fought for a while, they rushed forward as fresh troops and reinforcements, defeating their opponents. After all, it was impossible for Cheng Pu to have reinforcements when Cao Hong wanted to come!
But at the next moment, Cao Hong's wishful thinking was shattered.
If Cao Hong's cavalry is a master of outflanking and detouring for thousands of miles, then Cheng Pu is a clan-level figure in this regard.
With the rumble of hoofbeats and the thundering sound of horns on Cao Hong's left, Cheng Pu's last ambushes, Sun Yi and Sun Hao, finally appeared. Cao Hong was shocked to find that Cheng Pu had three thousand cavalry hidden there.
"You son of a bitch, I say Cheng Pu can't possibly have only three thousand cavalry under his command!" When Cao Hong suddenly came to his senses, Sun Jun's all-out counterattack began enthusiastically.
The 5,000 cavalrymen of Cao's army, who originally wanted to attack from both sides, were tightly entangled by the 3,000 enemy troops in front. At this time, a knife was stabbed fiercely on the left side of the abdomen. The chaos that had just subsided was a little out of control. So he just retreated. Cao Hong's rear cavalry, without Cao Hong's orders, saw their comrades flying with blood and flesh, and regardless of the order, they galloped forward and blindly rushed into the chaotic battle group.
The scene of boiling blood and flying flesh did not last long, and after the fierce battle did not last long, Cao Cao's five thousand soldiers who suffered heavy losses had no way out. Their rear was blocked by three thousand additional enemy cavalry. There were another three thousand ferocious enemy troops ahead, whose lives were intertwined with them.
All this happened just when Cao Zhi arrived on the hillside to watch the battle. This was also the predicament that Zhang Liao and Cao Hong found themselves in after a day of hard work.
When Cao Zhi saw this scene, he immediately raised one hand to hold the Qinhuang Sword on his waist, but then he put it down after thinking about it. When he turned to look at Zhuge Liang and other civil servants and generals, Hu Che'er , Xia Houen and others have already asked Cao Zhi urgently: "Uncle, what should we do?", "Lord, let us ask for reinforcements!"
However, Cao Zhi curled his lips in response to their requests and worries, stared closely at the foot of the mountain, and said slowly: "Let's see, Zhang Liao won't be defeated like this, right?"
While Cao Zhi was speaking, the two groups of people at the foot of the mountain felt that they were already involved in a melee. The layers of dust kicked up by the horses' hooves, along with the smell of corpses and blood, surged up from the foot of the mountain, which made the people on the mountain feel sick for a moment.
But this is also limited to Zhuge Liang and other civil servants. Cao Zhi and other battle-hardened generals are a little restless at this time. Those long-lost fighting scenes are surging in their minds again, and the familiar roars and screams are mixed. There was a loud sound, and as they watched the people below falling down one by one, their heartbeats began to accelerate.
When they looked at Cao Zhi again, they found that his face was slightly twitching and his eyes were looking down. At this time, Xia Houen, who was beside him, pointed to a point under the mountain and discovered the new situation and shouted urgently: "Uncle, you Look at that formation of guard vehicles, why can't they be smashed open?"
Xia Houen was not mistaken. Zhang Liao's advancing heavy infantry wanted to use their heavy weapons and absolute strength to smash through the enemy's guard car formation and rush into the enemy's center. If they could rush into the enemy's main formation, The Chinese army can still win, but they are in trouble now!
Cao Jun rushed to kill the heavy infantry in front. At this time, he only wanted to push the guard chariot away, and then he could cooperate with the cavalry behind to rush into the enemy's formation and slaughter the opponent to his heart's content. Once the opponent lost the guard chariot defense, the same heavy armor as them The infantry cannot stop the devastating attack of the cavalry behind them. There is no doubt about this!
However, the next moment, they were shocked to find that these carriages with their chains cut off... could not be pushed.
"What's going on? Why can't it be pushed!" A Cao soldier shouted angrily. The next moment, his head was cut off mercilessly by an enemy soldier on the guard car.
A seriously injured soldier of Cao's army was lying on the ground. He stared blankly at the bottom of the guard carriages that were as stubborn as thousand-year-old iron turtles, and then suddenly screamed like crazy: "The guard carriages are nailed.
It’s stuck! It’s pinned! It can’t be moved at all!”
"What?"
A guard car whose outer wall was broken by a heavy hammer finally revealed its formidable inner scene.
In addition to the three layers of hidden compartments that can hold iron caltrops, an iron pillar as thick as an arm in the center is connected to the entire car body and is nailed directly to the ground, integrating with the earth...
"Despicable Jiangdong Army!" All Cao Jun soldiers participating in the attack shouted in unison.
Zhang Liao, who had been sitting firmly at the back, could no longer bear to watch. He knew where he had made a mistake.
You shouldn't have attacked this formation! This was a trap! Cheng Pu didn't waste every minute when both sides were setting up their formations. He made use of that time, and he did a great job!
Zhang Liao couldn't help but admire his opponent at this time. He understood Cheng Pu's entire offensive and defensive system and plan. From the beginning, everything he did did not intend to move his main formation.
Cheng Pu made the guard vehicles linked to each other, but he was just deceiving their eyes, making them think that those links were weak points. The fact was that these guard vehicles could exist independently and did not need to be connected to form an array. He was completely
Abandoning the mobility of the guard vehicle, we get a real iron wall defense.
Zhang Liao knew that he was wrong. If he chose to bypass the formation and attack the command post behind Cheng Pu, although the force of three thousand plus three thousand ambush troops was powerful, it would not be able to stop the attack of his more than 20,000 troops. He chose to attack by force.
The frontal formation fell right into Cheng Pu's trap.
But then Zhang Liao also thought of Cheng Pu's arrangement. He was sure that Zhang Liao would be fooled, and anyone would be fooled. Even if he was not fooled, no one would detour the main force with an absolute advantage to attack. And once Cheng Pu discovered Zhang Liao
If you are not fooled, you can also use the guard car formation that has not yet been introduced at that time and change the formation according to Zhang Liao's changes.
So Zhang Liao suddenly figured out at this time that the wily Cheng Pu had already made various plans to deal with their weak troops. Zhang Liao was waiting for Zhang Liao and Cao's army to incorporate into his plan. And it can be seen that Cheng Pu
He was very self-aware and did not dream of swallowing up more than 30,000 troops in one go. Instead, he focused his attention on the 5,000 cavalry who detoured and attacked Cao Hong. He blocked Zhang Liao's main force from the front and caused them a lot of casualties, while Cao Hong was completely wiped out from the rear.
Five thousand cavalry is victory!
"Amazing! Not only are there no omissions, but they are also linked together slowly and step by step. I lost this time!" Zhang Liao was also able to pick up and put down.
But the subordinates around him seemed to have misheard Zhang Liao's words. Sun Guan, who was also a subordinate of Lu Bu like Zhang Liao, when he heard that Zhang Liao admitted his failure so quickly, he shouted: "What did you say?"
