Kebineng gritted his teeth and stared at the battlefield with his eyes, hoping that the Han army would show any sign of panic or even retreat.
How could my tens of thousands of great Xianbei warriors return without success? How could they fail to defeat those weak Han people?
If we persist for a while longer, the Han people will definitely be the first to be unable to hold on and be defeated.
At that time, my great Xianbei warriors rushed into the Han territory, galloped back and forth, and plundered all the good things.
The gods above will definitely bless us Xianbei people.
Ke Bi was gritting his teeth and persisting, and so was Xia Houyuan on the opposite side. For Cao Jun, the most critical situation now is that there are only a few hundred cavalry left. If all the cavalry are defeated, the difficulty of the next battle will definitely increase.
Quite a few.
But no matter what, whether the entire army is crippled or defeated, you can never be the first to retreat.
Even if all the 100,000 people he brought died on this battlefield, he could never take a step back.
Would rather die than retreat!
Even if you are on the verge of death in battle, as long as you are still breathing, you must try your best to kill the enemy soldiers in front of you. Even if your entire army is wiped out, you must make this Xianbei army pay a heavy price so that they will not have the energy to continue to invade the south.
You must keep fighting and never give up without giving up everything. You must know that behind you, there are hundreds of thousands of ordinary people, people of the Han Dynasty!
In the most intensive battle between the two armies, the most elite of Cao's cavalry, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, now had less than a hundred cavalry left. Cao Xiu, the deputy commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, was covered in blood and was still fighting hard.
Cao Xiu was seriously wounded at this moment, including gunshot wounds, knife wounds, and arrow wounds.
Fortunately, most of these injuries were minor and none were truly fatal.
However, despite this, Cao Xiu's physical strength was already close to being exhausted at this time.
Blood continued to flow from the wound, allowing Cao Xiu to truly feel his physical strength draining away bit by bit.
"Am I, Cao Wenlie, going to die here today?" Seeing his robes falling down one after another around him, Cao Xiu's heart was filled with bitterness.
These people are all brave men in the army, but now they still look so insignificant on this battlefield, and they may die at any time.
Although he had already prepared to die when he first chose to join the army, he also had a deep understanding of the ruthlessness of the battlefield. Whether it was himself, his robes or his subordinates, in this cruel world
No one on the battlefield can guarantee that he can survive to the end. But when he was actually on this battlefield, Cao Xiu realized that real death, as well as the shock and terror brought by death, were far beyond his own.
Imagine.
Originally, Cao Xiu thought that he was brave enough and had enough courage to face all difficulties and challenges. But after fighting on the battlefield and witnessing countless sacrifices, Cao Xiu suddenly realized that he was still too "cowardly".
After all, he couldn't bear the impact of death, couldn't face the casualties on the battlefield, couldn't accept the fact that more and more people died in front of him, and couldn't get rid of the haze in his heart - he was afraid that he would die like them.
On the battlefield.
But this is human nature. After all, this is Cao Xiu's first time on the battlefield. He encountered such a large-scale fierce battle in his first battle. He didn't even have time to buffer and adapt to the battlefield. He could only lament that Cao Xiu was very unlucky.
Already.
A scimitar slashed hard at Cao Xiu's neck with a fierce momentum.
Cao Xiu was startled, and he quickly drew his gun and swung the knife away. Then he twisted the gun body and penetrated straight into the attacker's chest.
"Hoo, ho--!" Cao Xiu gasped for air after surviving the disaster. He was almost there just now. If he had reacted any slower, he would probably have his head dislocated now.
Cao Xiu also knew that now was not the time to be distracted, as the consequences of being distracted on the battlefield could be fatal.
But although Cao Xiu knew this, he just couldn't concentrate at the moment. The scenes of the soldiers dying in battle flashed through his mind one after another. Although he tried his best to exclude these scenes, the more he didn't want to think about it,
These scenes became clearer in his mind.
There were two more scimitars, one in front and one behind, slashing at Cao Xiu one after another.
When Cao Xiu came to his senses, the blade was only a stone's throw away from him.
With Cao Xiu's martial arts skills, he might be able to avoid the attack of a scimitar in front, but he would not be able to avoid the pursuit of a scimitar from behind.
If Cao Xiu could concentrate on dealing with the enemy, he would definitely be able to handle the attacks of these two scimitars. But the worst problem now is that he can no longer guarantee his concentration.
Seeing that the scimitar in the enemy's hand was about to cut into his neck, Cao Xiu became desperate.
"Forget it, it's the fate of a general to be returned wrapped in horse leather," Cao Xiu thought sadly.
Just when Cao Xiu had closed his eyes and was about to die, a spear was passed from his side and helped him deflect the two knives.
He did not feel the pain in his neck, but instead heard the sound of two gold and iron metals intersecting. Cao Xiu was slightly surprised and opened his eyes to look at the situation.
"Uncle?" Cao Xiu saw a general coming to his side, and he was attacked by the enemy. He was stunned at first, and then he was happy.
There are few people who will not be surprised by this situation, and no one will not feel happy about it.
The general who rescued Cao Xiu was Gao Shun. Cao Xiu was Cao Cao's son, and he served Cao Cao as his father. Gao Shun was Cao Cao's brother-in-law, so Cao Xiu called him his uncle.
"Wen Lie, don't be distracted on the battlefield." Gao Shun said to Cao Xiu.
The relationship between Gao Shun and Cao Xiu was average, but Gao Shun knew that Cao Xiu's development would be extraordinary in the future. It would be really sad if one of the Eight Tiger Cavalry of Cao's army recorded in history died in a place like this accidentally.
Due to changes in history, Cao Ren and Cao Hong, who were originally among the Eight Tigers of Cao's army, have died. Gao Shun does not want more famous generals to die early due to various reasons. Within his own ability, he will try his best to save them if they can.
save.
"Uncle, I..." Cao Xiu wanted to explain something, but he couldn't say anything.
Gao Shun looked at Cao Xiu and sighed in his heart. Regardless of whether this boy will become a famous general of Cao Wei in the future, he is still just a young man who is under twenty years old and has never seen blood before this expedition.
It is indeed a bit overwhelming to throw it into such a tragic battlefield all at once.
But there is nothing we can do about it, these are troubled times!
Cao Xiu has done a very good job. If it had been anyone else, he might not have been able to persist and would have died long ago.
"There is nothing to worry about. The Xianbei people are no longer able to succeed. If we continue to fight for a while, victory will be within easy reach!" We must not be discouraged at this time, Gao Shun encouraged Cao Xiu.
Of course, just verbal encouragement is far from enough. After saying those words, Gao Shun patted his horse and once again drew his gun and entered the Xianbei formation.
Looking at Gao Shun's back, Cao Xiu also grabbed the spear in his hand tightly and followed Gao Shun into the enemy formation on horseback.
