Chapter six hundred and twelfth, tragic and solemn
Chapter 612: Tragic
The crossbow arrows covering the sky and the sun swept towards Cao Cao's formation like a storm of rage.
But those cows carry a huge load, and the armor is much heavier than ordinary soldiers. Although the Juezhang crossbow in Youzhou can crack armor and pierce stones, it is only against ordinary armor. Facing this kind of
The iron armor is about inch thick, and those crossbow arrows are not armor-piercing bullets, but they are powerless.
Therefore, the iron-armored cattle in Cao Cao's formation did not disappoint Cao Cao and Sima Yi's high expectations, and they were like rocks to resist this wave of fierce shooting.
Although there are one or two exceptions, some of the iron armored cows' armor failed to do the right way, and were shot through the armor by those crossbow arrows that could break armor and pierce stones, and injured the cow's head, which made some of the cows twist violently, but those
The cows were surrounded by ten rows, and they were all tied up with iron chains. In the end, they still tied up the cows and maintained their formation.
The Cao Cao soldiers hiding behind the iron armored cattle had these straits of cover, and were basically not hurt, and they quickly fought back with bows and arrows.
However, all the bows and arrows on Cao Cao's side were ordinary strong bows. The range was not as good as the standard strong bow in Youzhou. It was only more than 150 steps. In a hurry, it counterattacked the Youzhou Flying Wolf Army.
There was no use at all. They all fell on the open space.
Cao Cao was so angry. One of the soldiers was angry that he couldn't hold back and fought back randomly. The other one was angry that Liu Ming could equip so many Ji Zhang crossbows.
The slash-Zhang crossbows in Youzhou are the standard configurations for the Han border troops to deal with the Hun cavalry. Cao Cao also knew how to do it. It’s a pity that the slash-Zhang crossbows are expensive, have a long production time, and have a relatively single function. Cao Cao has been doing it over the years.
In order to develop rapidly and equip the box crossbow with large-scale lethality, the crossbow with strong range but can only be fired once on the battlefield.
In response to this, because of the specific needs of the war, Cao Cao ignored it. Therefore, Cao Cao became more and more angry about how Liu Ming could use it on such a large scale. Even in the peaceful years, this crossbow still requires a lot of funds.
And for a long time, the tendons, dryness, paint, glue, etc. can be piled up without effort. Just an ordinary strong crossbow, it will take a year from production to molding. Youzhou
Cao Cao couldn't understand how popular the entire army could be.
Of course, Cao Cao did not expect that Liu Ming's military workshop had already popularized standardization and flow operation procedures. In addition, replacement equipment such as steel wire, mild steel, etc., could of course be widely used.
At this time, the Flying Wolf Army was worthy of being a veteran on the battlefield and the elite among the elite. It actually completed a turn beautifully in less than 700 steps, and it flew ten thousand times in just a distance of less than 700 steps.
The wolf army, like flowing water, made a sharp turn and floated past Cao Cao's original formation. At the same time, three rounds of volleys came. As Cao Cao's original formation approached, he ran a beautiful U-shaped, Juechen
And go.
Moreover, the flying wolf army learned the experience of the slashing crossbow and shooting ineffectively. The three-wheeled volleys were all shot into the sky. They passed over the iron-armored cows and formed a cover-type attack on the Cao Cao soldiers hiding behind.
.
If it weren't for the accuracy of the projectile shooting, it would be insufficient, and the lethality mainly comes from the weight falling from the air, which would have a great blow to Cao Cao's formation. But in this way, more than a thousand people in Cao Cao's formation were killed and injured.
There were five or six thousand people.
Of course, these casualties are almost negligible for Cao Cao's army that gathered a large army to fight here. However, if the panic caused by the casualties were not known to Cao Cao's rear formation, all the soldiers of Cao Cao would know about it if Cao Cao had not had any evidence in the backbone.
There is only one way to die if you retreat, which will definitely lead to a local escape.
Seeing this, Lu Bu was completely relieved. Moving so slowly, wouldn’t it be a target? Running more circles and pulling the formation away. With the flying shooting, Cao Cao’s army would be dead.
But just when Lu Bu was proud, a sudden change broke out, and countless huge fireballs crossed the sky and landed far behind the formation of Lu Bu's army. Then it turned into a sea of fire.
Then Sima Yi made a plan to destroy Lu Bu's army, how could it be that Lu Bu could run away? Thousands of thunderbolt cars were already ready in the back formation.
If it weren't for Cao Cao's thunderbolt chariot's insufficient precision, in order to enclose all Lu Bu's troops, he could only use the maximum range to block the rear route of Lu Bu's army. But this volley shot would cause heavy losses to Lu Bu's army.
With the landing of these huge fireballs and the emergence of a sea of fire, the retreat of Lu Bu's army had been cut off. Cao Cao's original formation was also slowly pressing forward.
Lu Bu was anxious immediately. Water and fire were ruthless. That was not something that could be resisted by flesh and blood. For the sake of the present, only by breaking through Cao Cao's original formation and fighting with Cao's army can he avoid the attacks of those fireballs. Otherwise, he would still keep it.
If the formation does not move, it can only become a target for barbecue. As for whether the heavy armored cavalry is worth it to fight the iron armored cattle, it is too unwilling to worry about it.
Lu Bu immediately sent an order and the entire army attacked!
As the flag swayed, the serpent drums trembled. The 30,000 iron-armored heavy cavalry of Lu Bu's original formation began to jog with the drum beats, and the infantry on both sides followed closely behind.
After one hundred and fifty steps, all these iron armored heavy cavalry fell off their face armor.
After five hundred steps, all the armored heavy cavalry straightened their spears and set up their standard sprinting postures. The heavy cavalry also began to sprint quickly.
This is an extremely brilliant scene, and an extremely tragic scene.
The iron armored heavy cavalry with all strength and full speed is definitely not something that can be stopped by flesh and blood. The thick armor on their bodies also ignores the power of Cao Cao's bows and arrows. However, their opponent is not Cao Cao's soldiers now, but
It is a group of cows wearing thick armor.
Although the thrust with great force is not something that the slowly moving iron armored cows can withstand. The iron armor of Houda Village also needs to penetrate in front of the steel spear. However, the impact of a horse cannot rush
Destroy the city walls formed by ten cows.
Therefore, after these iron-armored cattle have endured these huge impact forces, the death and injury of each iron-armored cavalry means the death of an iron-armored cavalry. In the face of the interaction force, the powerful impact force is not
When the opponent releases his strength, it is not something that the armored heavy cavalry can bear.
Those heavily armored cavalry holding spears, either because of their perfect posture, saved their spears, but they were knocked down on the horse's back, or because of their poor posture, they broke the spears, and were then subjected to the huge inertia,
Throw it into the enemy's formation.
And no matter which of these two types, these iron armored heavy cavalrymen off the horse's back, don't remember them anymore.
In this short moment, human life and cow life actually had an equivalent relationship, which has to be said to be a kind of sadness.
However, in order to win, these iron-armored heavy cavalrymen have to say that they are magnificent! This is definitely a brilliant glory.
However, the death of the Iron Armored Heavy Cavalry and the Iron Armored Cavalry together was a line of blood and blood for Cao Cao's soldiers, and for the subsequent Iron Armored Heavy Cavalry, it was a barrier.
Fortunately, the fireball that crossed the sky had stopped at this time. In just a short time, more than a thousand thunderbolts had fired nearly 10,000 flame bombs. This had been consumed by Cao Cao. The turbulent turbulent oil
Refining is not that easy, and Cao Cao also has to divide most of it to defend Guandu and Puyang. These things here are already the largest amount that Cao Cao can raise in a short period of time.
This is also the fundamental reason why Cao Cao and Sima Yi had to burn Lu Bu's back formation first to form a sea of fire. If this was to directly attack Lu Bu's original formation, although unexpectedly, Lu Bu's army would have suffered a lot, but Lu Bu's army was arranged in a row,
When they ran away, the thunder chariots could not be chased at all. The launch without precision was not something Cao Cao could consume.
However, the military quality of the Youzhou Army was greatly beyond the expectations of Sima Yi and Cao Cao. Although Cao Cao had fought with the Youzhou Army several times, the Youzhou Army was the dominant one and Cao Cao's army was in power.
Therefore, Cao Cao never expected that the Youzhou army could obey the command and launch a fierce attack when facing the sea of fire. Moreover, the iron-armored heavy cavalry in Youzhou could really rush to the iron-armored cattle formation without considering life and death.
Cao Cao was extremely unexpected in this way.
Cao Cao originally planned to push the iron-armored cow forward and the flame bomb burned behind him, and the Youzhou army would inevitably be in chaos. They would all run away. After all, after the first round of flame bombs, there were still left on both sides of the battlefield.
If there is a gap, you only need to bypass the blocking sea of fire. It is still possible that Cao Cao's army's slowly pushing iron armored cow formation will escape before it. When the Youzhou army escapes to the gaps in the sea of fire on both sides, it will not be
When they run out, the subsequent flame bomb will form a new sea of fire and complete the entire encirclement. At this time, the iron armored cow formation will completely force it to block the last gap, thus surrounding Lu Bu's army.
Kill them clean.
But now, the death-sacrificing impact of Youzhou heavy cavalry has formed a flesh-and-blood barrier. Although it has successfully blocked the impact of Youzhou army's follow-up troops and ensured the safety of its own troops, it has been unable to continue to suppress it.
.The fire circle that should have been perfect is now exposed.
Cao Cao hates this!
However, compared to Cao Cao's anger, Lu Bu was definitely overjoyed. Although Lu Bu was brave, he was definitely not a desperate person to die. If the impact of the iron armored heavy cavalry could break through the construction of Cao Cao's iron armored cattle
In the defense line, Lu Bu couldn't bear it and dared to fight, break through Cao Cao's original formation, but gave Cao Cao a fight and led him away. He eliminated Cao Cao's army in the movement.
But now, the iron armored heavy cavalry and the iron armored cattle died together, and formed a corpse barrier, which was no longer something that the cavalry could cross. Just pointing at the infantry, Lu Bu would not come forward to die. Moreover, the power of the flame bomb Lu Bu also saw it
Although it has been temporarily suspended, it should be because Cao Cao’s reserves are insufficient. But who knows whether Cao Cao still has it? Lu Bu dared not take this risk.
Lu Bu immediately ordered the entire army to turn to break through.
As the swaying of Lu Bu's banner and the movement of Lu Bu's commander's banner, the remaining nearly 10,000 iron armored heavy cavalry once again took on the heavy responsibility of cutting off the rear. Lu Bu's army rushed towards the gap in the sea of fire without panic.
At this time, Cao Cao's team was blocked by the corpse barrier, where can they be chased? Moreover, the infantry that crossed the corpse and chased by the corpse cannot withstand the rushing of the iron armored heavy cavalry. The iron armored heavy cavalry that fought together, early
The spear was put away, and the shiny sabre quickly cut off the life of Cao Bing. The swords and guns of Cao Bing infantry had no effect on the heavy armor. Pingbai showed his real iron armored heavy cavalry
power.
As soon as Lu Bu led the Flying Wolf Army out of the sea of fire, he immediately cheered up and detoured outside the sea of fire to guard the infantry and the iron armored heavy cavalry behind the palace to retreat. There was no gap in the entire formation for Cao Cao to do so.
Chase.
Cao Cao could only accept the final result of failing to completely wipe out Lu Bu's army. Although Cao Cao had eliminated two-thirds of Lu Bu's heavy cavalry and nearly half of the infantry at this time, Cao Cao was still very dissatisfied.
Of course, Lu Bu was even more dissatisfied at this time. The troops suffered such heavy casualties. It was impossible to attack Cao Cao's Wuguan with these forces. Lu Bu could only lead the army back to Qingni Pass and write a letter to the headquarters at the same time, stating.
The battle process was carried out and the interests of Cao Cao's flame bomb were described.
To be honest, this is also the result of Lu Bu's greed for merit and did not wait for the thunder god thunder carts and thunder god thunder. However, who made Lu Bu far away from the frontier and didn't know the thunder god thunder at all. He just thought he had a chance to be released from the original.
What about the stone carts are all the same function.
Shortly after Cao Cao returned to Wuguan, he received two battle reports from Yu Jin and Zhang He. Cao Cao took a deep breath and was very grateful. If Lu Bu had any, Dongdong. Lu Bu would not have sent anyone to rush forward.
With those long-range shooting ranges of dongdong, the soldiers who were hiding behind the bull were really not enough for others to explode. At that time, they would definitely be defeated. This duel would become a laughing stock.
However, Cao Cao did not think that something could blow up the solid city wall. After all, Zhang He's camp and Zhang Xiu's camp were eventually preserved. Since the wooden camp could be left behind, the stone city wall,
Not to mention it. It’s just that this kind of weapon is too lethal to soldiers, and it is obvious that those things are long-range weapons like thunderbolt chariots, all of which can attack the city.
Therefore, Cao Cao also mobilized the reserve troops left behind in the mainland without hesitation to support him. Now it is a situation of confrontation with Liu Ming. As long as he can survive this level, he can survive in this troubled times and live with Liu Ming.
. Otherwise, everything will eventually become empty.
While praying that Liu Ming would stop attacking due to major losses, Cao Cao sent people to Jiangnan and asked Sun Quanan to make an appointment to send troops.
