Chapter 70 Fighting formation! Trapped in the camp against the white soldiers
Seeing Chen Dao and the thousand people behind him, Cao Cao's face became a little unhappy.
In terms of military skills, even if we look at the entire Three Kingdoms era, Cao Cao is definitely one of the top figures. The tidy appearance of the opponent's army can be seen at a glance. Most of the defenders in the city faced the powerful Cao army.
There was no trace of fear on the faces of these one thousand people. Even if they were in front of the two armies and felt the pressure brought by the 50,000 strong troops on the opposite side, the expressions on the faces of these one thousand people
His expression was still as calm as water, and his figure was still as motionless as a mountain.
This is an elite army, and it may even be a powerful army that is no less powerful than the trapped camp! Cao Cao quickly made a rough assessment of the strength of these 1,000 men.
I didn't expect that Liu Bei would have such an elite force under his command, and there would be good generals who could train such an elite force. It seems that winning this first battle is not an easy task.
thing.
"With the ambition to trap the enemy, I am invincible!" Gao Shun's expression was also very solemn. Obviously he knew that the thousand people in front of him were difficult to deal with. But as the leader of the trapped camp, no matter how powerful the enemy appeared in front, he must lead
It is his duty, his obligation, to lead his men forward bravely. It can also be said to be the fate he has shouldered since he was reborn as Gao Shun.
"White soldiers, attack and kill the enemy!" Seeing the enemy general in front giving the order to attack, Chen Dao was unwilling to lag behind and shouted loudly.
The two armies rushed forward without hesitation at the same time. Two small military formations were seen fiercely colliding together, weaving beautiful blood flowers in the wilderness outside Pengcheng.
The only thing that every soldier in the battle formation has to do is to pick up the spear in his hand and stab forward fiercely. Through the enemy's leather armor, he pierces the opponent's chest and kills more enemies.
Die by your own gun!
Gao Shun had to admit that the Baiyi soldiers, the thousand-man army in front of him, were the strongest enemies that the trapped camp under his command had encountered in a frontal conflict.
In terms of fighting spirit and fighting strength, these white men soldiers are the best. They have a strong fighting spirit and only want to kill the enemy. The constant deaths around them cannot make them feel any fear, but will only make them go further.
Arousing the killing intent in their hearts, they used a more violent offensive to attack the enemy forces in front of them. They were extremely powerful, and they fought evenly against the soldiers who were trapped in the camp, but they did not lose at all.
Fortunately, Gao Shun's camp was trapped. If a thousand men were drawn from other troops under Cao Cao's command, they might not be able to get any benefit from these white men.
Seeing their own soldiers falling into a pool of blood one after another, both Gao Shun and Chen Dao felt very uncomfortable.
Since the establishment of the trap camp, Gao Shun has always followed the route of elite soldiers. When the trap camp was first established, there were only 800 people. Although it has been expanded repeatedly in the past few years, the total number is only 1,500 people.
That's all. It can be said that every soldier in the trapped camp is a valuable combat force for Gao Shun, and every person killed in battle is a big loss to the trapped camp.
Chen Dao's hardships in establishing the White King Army were even worse than Gao Shun's. Although Tao Qian built Xuzhou fairly well during his lifetime, Cao Cao's last conquest had destroyed it all. Although in the end, Tao Qian built Xuzhou pretty well.
Cao Cao failed to occupy the land of Xuzhou, but he massacred many Xuzhou soldiers and civilians, and robbed a lot of food before leaving, which greatly damaged the vitality of the entire Xuzhou. After Liu Bei took over Xuzhou, there was a shortage of money, food, soldiers and ordnance.
, the difficulty of forming an elite army under such conditions can be imagined. Xuzhou's current total military strength is about 25,000, which is only half of Cao Cao's dispatched troops this time. And the white men soldiers that Chen Dao worked hard to form,
Although there are three thousand people on the surface, they can actually be called elites, that is, the one thousand people currently fighting in the battle formation. The remaining two thousand people are only slightly stronger than ordinary soldiers.
.Therefore, facing the loss of his own soldiers, Chen Dao felt even more sad than Gao Shun.
"Ah——!" Sun Er, the captain of the trapped camp, once again stabbed the spear in his hand into the chest of the enemy soldier in front of him. Although his eyes were already red, Sun Er still clearly remembered that this was the person he had killed in this battle.
The seventh person.
But what surprised him was that the enemy soldier who was pierced through the chest by the spear was not dead yet, and he burst out with the last ferocity in his life, and flew towards Sun Er.
Sun Er hurriedly dodged backwards, but he couldn't dodge in time. The enemy soldiers' hands tightened around his neck, and Sun Er's face soon turned into a purple mass.
Sun Er, who felt the aura of death, struggled to break away from the enemy soldier, only to see that he kept poking blood holes one after another in the enemy soldier's body with his long spear. However, although Sun Er could feel that the opponent's aura was getting worse and worse,
He is getting weaker and weaker, but for some reason, the hands holding his neck are getting tighter and tighter.
In the end, the enemy soldier who had been stabbed countless times died, and Sun Er himself also lost his breath forever.
I don’t know how many times this situation has been repeated in the battle formation. Soldiers are killing people all the time, and they are being killed all the time. Maybe one moment they just cut off the head of the enemy in front of them, and the next moment they will be stabbed in the chest.
A big hole.
If the hand is broken, kick it with your foot; if the foot is broken, bite it with your teeth. In short, until the last moment of life, these soldiers have only one concept in their minds: Kill! Kill! Kill!
In the end, Gao Shun and Chen Dao finally waited for Ming Jin's order from their respective armies to withdraw their troops. As commanders of their respective armies, as long as they did not hear Ming Jin's voice, they had to lead the troops to fight. At this time, on the battlefield, both sides
Nearly half has been sacrificed. If the fight continues like this, the losses cannot be summed up simply by "huge".
After the gold was paid, both sides took back the corpses of their own soldiers and counted the number of casualties. During this battle, a total of 436 people were killed in the trapped camp, while a total of 476 people were killed in the White Army.
Cao Cao's face was as pale as water. As the most powerful enemy of Cao's army, they lost 30% of their troops in this battle. This was something he had never expected beforehand.
Naturally, Guan Yu's mood wasn't going to get any better. Liu Bei valued the White Spirit Soldiers very much, and Guan Yu knew this very well. But now that the White Spirit Soldiers had lost so many people at once, how could he explain to his elder brother?
But the matter had come to this, and there was no point in regretting it. After cleaning up the battlefield, Guan Yu was once again seen alone, calmly and leisurely walking towards the front of Cao's army.
"In the previous battle, the two armies were even. This time, I don't know who under Cao Sikong dares to fight me!" Guan Yu faced Cao Jun and shouted with great momentum. Listening to his tone, he was extremely arrogant and did not care about Cao Jun's generals at all.
Keep it in mind.
Although the number of people killed in the trapped camp was forty fewer than that of the Bai Qi soldiers, there is nothing objectionable about Guan Yu calling the result of the battle a draw. Both sides can only count the number of casualties of their own troops. As for the exact number of casualties of the other party, of course
There is no way to know. And if the opponent directly informs the number of casualties, who knows whether the number reported in vain is true or false? Therefore, the victory or defeat can only be determined by the merits of the scene at that time, and judging from the previous battle situation
, the two armies are evenly matched. After all, the gap of forty people is so small that it can be ignored in the battle between thousands of troops.
"Who can attack Guan Yu?" Hearing Guan Yu's almost arrogant cry, Cao Cao looked back at the generals behind him and asked.
"I am willing to fight Guan Yu!" The first person to answer was Zhao Yun, and at the same time that Zhao Yun spoke, he had already seated his horse and headed straight towards Guan Yu.
