"What should I do, what should I do?" The arrogant expression on Zhang Jie's face faded away, and he asked in confusion. [This article comes from]
"How do I know? How do I know?" Xu Dan was no longer calm. He gasped and looked around hastily, as if he was looking for a way to escape.
"Two idiots!" Cao Bao was angered by the two idiots. He kicked Zhang Lie and whipped Xu Dan wildly: "We didn't lose. Brothers were just stunned by their cold blows. It's not true.
If you lose, there is still time to fight, so what is there to panic about?"
The two of them stopped talking and looked at Cao Bao eagerly, trying to analyze from his expression whether he was holding on with a fierce look and a soft heart, or whether he was really there.
"You...even if you are uneducated and skillless, you have to have a limit, right? You are so stupid...it really pisses me off!" Cao Bao cursed, "Look carefully, they rushed down from the mountain.
, the momentum is already fierce, and with famous generals like Wang Yu, Zhang Jaw, and Wei Yan taking the lead, the fight will naturally be fierce."
Cao Bao pointed with his riding crop: "But now they have rushed down from the mountain. Their momentum has been exhausted and their physical strength has been exhausted. Although our forward has suffered heavy casualties, don't forget that the forward only has eight thousand casualties. Even if more than half of them are injured,
We still have 10,000 soldiers, what’s so scary? Besides, although the casualties of the former army were huge, they were not even half as many!”
"I see." Xu and Zhang both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Their hearts finally settled in their stomachs and they no longer thought about escaping.
"Then Bao Zi, why don't you send troops up? It seems that the front army can't hold on any longer." Xu Dan looked at Cao Bao and then at Tancheng on the other side of the river, his eyes darting around.
"Hmm..." Cao Bao said silently.
The 7,000 soldiers outside the front army are responsible for guarding, the flank defense is 3,000, and the central army is 4,000. The central army is divided into 2,000 soldiers to guard Shu Shui and beware of Qingzhou's navy. This is a perfect strategy.
He felt that since he had many soldiers, he could spend them as he pleased. However, due to the outbreak of the Zhang Jaw Army, the force suddenly became a little nervous.
It was hard to say that they were stretched too thin, but to reinforce the front army, troops and horses would undoubtedly have to be mobilized from other fronts. After much deliberation, Cao Bao finally decided to withdraw the troops from the river bank direction and fill them up on the front line.
Qingzhou's naval army was actually Wei Yan's Hidden Mist Army.
That unit, which is kept secret from the outside world, seems to be an all-round unit, able to fight on water and on foot. It also looks like it can use powerful crossbows, but its actual combat effectiveness is just that.
This is the conclusion Cao Bao came to after combining the information provided by Chen Gui, the information passed on by Tancheng, and his own observations. That troop was the only one that did not join the charge. They had been manipulating crossbows on the mountain, attacking Cao Bao's army.
It also caused a lot of damage.
However, the leader of that army, Wei Yan, was very brave. He formed a trident with famous generals such as Wang Yu and Zhang Jha, which upset the front army's formation.
Cao Bao had never met the above-mentioned people, and he analyzed them based on their banners. The person he thought was Wei Yan was actually Xu Sheng.
Relying on his own strength, Xu Sheng made a handful of caltrop bone and swung it to great effect. The caltrop bone was similar to a mace, a weapon that relied on weight to win. If Xu Sheng used all his strength to push it away, he would die if he touched it.
, scratching the edge will cause injury. Look at the majesty, not much worse than Wang Yu and Zhang Jia.
When Cao Bao thought about it, such a fierce young man certainly couldn't jump out of thin air. After thinking about it based on the intelligence, the answer was immediately obvious. Who else could it be if he wasn't the rumored fierce general Wei Yan?
Now that the navy has landed, there is no need to stay in the area. Cao Bao was a little worried about Tancheng's defenders coming out of the city to help in the battle. The two thousand soldiers also wanted to guard against the Tancheng army. However, after fighting for such a long time, Tancheng has been silent. Look,
There won't be any trouble getting up.
Even if in the middle of the battle, the city's garrison suddenly thought of changing his mind and led his troops to fight out, there would be nothing to fear. It would take a long time for the garrison to assemble, and then they would have to cross the river. When they came over, Que Xuan would have to crawl.
When we arrived, we hit halfway across the river.
Cao Bao himself didn't even realize that his thinking had changed from rushing to solve the problem alone at the beginning to hoping that the allies would arrive quickly to help him.
The Qingzhou army was too strong, and he really couldn't handle it.
Two thousand soldiers were thrown into the battle group. At the same time, Cao Bao ordered the soldiers serving as flank guards to move closer to the center to prevent the enemy from attacking his own formation. He did not forget that the enemy also had 500 light cavalry! That damn Zhao Yun
He didn't show up either. If he accidentally surprises him, then...
Looking at the five thousand soldiers and horses guarding him, Cao Bao was slightly relieved, but soon fell into inexplicable entanglement.
The Qingzhou Army's attack momentum was too strong, and he knew that it would be difficult for him to achieve the expected goal of complete victory. In this case, he could only shrink his defense and use the number of people to consume the opponent's combat effectiveness, until Que Xuan's army arrived...
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt uncertain. Will the military advisor in the other camp, the Chen family master, also leave? If someone didn't understand the truth about Que Xuan's lips and teeth, would he not save him...
Eh? Did I say death? I'm kidding, how could I lose? I clearly have an army of 15,000, with a rainbow of momentum and strength in numbers...
He couldn't dwell on it for too long, because the investment of two thousand reserve troops and horses failed to save the battle.
The two sides only remained in a stalemate for a very short time before Cao Bao's army was suppressed again.
Part of the pressure comes from the enemy. The Qingzhou Army is like the legendary Yellow Turban Warriors. They charged so fiercely in the front, but now they seem not to be tired at all and are still attacking like a tide.
Part of the pressure also came from themselves. The two thousand soldiers Cao Bao added were soldiers from Xuzhou County, not direct soldiers from Danyang. In fact, among the eight thousand soldiers in the front army, only five thousand were soldiers from Danyang.
Although Cao Bao is incompetent, he also knows the principle of preserving his direct lineage. It doesn't matter how many county soldiers die. If he has money and food, he can recruit them at will. Danyang soldiers are not good. This is the capital for his survival. If the county soldiers are not valuable, their combat effectiveness will be weak.
, as the forwards dared to fight and Danyang's elite soldiers suffered heavy casualties, the number of Cao Bao's troops declined much more slowly than their strength.
Therefore, it seems that the casualties are not large, but the decline is becoming more and more obvious.
The greater pressure comes from mental.
"Big man!"
"Big man!"
"Big man!"
The shouts like a landslide and tsunami made people feel helpless. No matter the generals or the members of Cao Bao's army, they all had the illusion that they had become traitors and traitors, had committed heinous crimes, and were facing the king's attack.
In a battle like this, the momentum cannot be lost first. Once the momentum is lost, 100% of the strength can only be used at 60-70%. Therefore, Cao Baojun's 10,000-strong army was beaten by 3,000 Yulin and could not lift its head at all.
Not surprising anymore.
The sound coming from the hillside made the cavalry's blood boil. But they could not move, because the cavalry was under the command of the young man with the white horse and silver spear in front, and the young general, who was always known for his bravery, did not make any sign, seeming to be observing, and then
As if waiting.
It's not that Zhao Yun didn't feel the anxious gaze behind him, especially Wei Yan's gaze. It was like a raging fire, burning to the deepest part of his heart. However, he could not move lightly. This was a fatal blow that would determine the outcome.
The outcome of this battle.
Moreover, the decision of whether to dispatch or not does not depend on him, but on Wang Yu who is fighting on the front line and the intelligence of the scouts in the distance.
In the distance, the enemy's formation has begun to shrink, and the battle is becoming more and more fierce.
After the momentum provided by the hillside was exhausted, the Qingzhou Army had to pay the price of blood for every inch they moved forward. But the blood-stained return path always stretched forward unyieldingly. No matter how many people Cao Bao's Army rushed towards, they could not stop them.
Every cent.
"Big man!" the Qingzhou soldiers roared wildly, charging towards the bullfight with murderous intent. Due to the desperate resistance of Cao Bao's army, the trident that had been assassinating the bullfighter became more and more prominent.
Zhao Yun had very good eyesight. He saw that the iron armor on Wang Yu's body was stained dark red with blood, and the original color could no longer be seen. The only thing shining were his sharp eyes and sharp three-foot sword.
Xu Sheng's image is much worse. His weapons are heavy weapons, and he has only one move, which is to smash hard. Sweep, vertical smash, hit the chest, break the tendons and fractures, hit the head, and burst the brain on the spot, so
, Xu Sheng was not only splashed with blood, but also a lot of white, white and green things, which looked very scary.
Zhang Jaw is the most elegant among the three. His weapon is a gun. Killing with a long gun is not so bloody. Zhao Yun especially noticed that Zhang Jaw's marksmanship is very similar to his own. The moves are different, but the spear is very powerful.
The style revealed when moving is no different, generally sharp and generally agile.
The war was urgent at the moment, and Zhao Yun had no time to think too much, but he secretly noted the matter and planned to wait until the war was over before asking the other party carefully.
The resistance of Cao Bao's army is getting weaker and weaker. Some people have begun to run to both sides of the phalanx, and some have begun to look back to see if the coach will make a decision to withdraw from the battlefield.
This kind of decline made Cao Bao completely unable to calm down. He was so anxious that he began to constantly mobilize soldiers from the flanking guard teams to the front, and kept shrinking the formation. At this time, his combat strategy had completely changed from confrontation to shrinking defense, but
Still unable to regain the initiative on the battlefield.
As a last resort, he gritted his teeth and transferred another thousand soldiers from the Central Army to go immediately. The enemy's forward was about to break through the front army's formation. If the formation was penetrated, it was usually the beginning of collapse. He had to take a risk.
At this moment, a long whistle suddenly sounded in the distance to the south, and then something exploded in the sky, emitting a dazzling light, as if there was another red sun in the sky.
"Brothers, follow me!" The soldiers in the fierce battle had no time to look around, but many onlookers were stunned. Only Zhao Yun did not hesitate at all. His arm suddenly waved down, and before he finished speaking, he was already in the air and turned over.
, mounted his horse, raised his gun, and took the lead in charging.
"Kill!" Five hundred cavalry rushed out of the valley like a torrent, automatically forming a sharp arrow array while galloping, and penetrated directly into the core of the enemy's formation!
