"Reporting to my lord, the front army of the Mountain Formation has been completely broken through, and General Le is seriously injured!"
"...General Shi led reinforcements and encountered his own cavalry led by Wang Yu. Unfortunately, he was killed in the army!"
"...I am reporting to my lord that General Qi died in battle, and General Qin is requesting reinforcements!"
"Report..."
After breaking through Cao Jun's formation, the Qingzhou Iron Cavalry divided into three groups. Tai Shici went to the left, Lu Qiling and Ma Yunluo were on the right, and Wang Yu led an army directly to the middle. The three groups of troops advanced together, and the offensive was in full swing.
Wang Yu's bravery is Cao Cao's pain.
The messengers carrying various colored flags rushed like butterflies to the central army and the battle group, bringing bad news one after another. The faces of Cao Ying's staff had lost their vitality. It didn't matter whether it was a ten-step plan or a variety of opportunities.
, at this moment, there is no room for display, and I can only let the bad news that comes frequently hit my heart like a whip.
Le Jin was injured and could not leave the firing line, but his severe injuries greatly limited his command level. In the war of the cold weapon era, the role of front-line commanders was very huge. Without their command and hard work, the general would not be able to strategize.
It's just a joke.
Qi Ji and Qin Yi were surrendered generals from Huainan. They were superb in martial arts and well-known in Huainan. On that day, Liu Ye and Liu Xun led their troops to the north. They were defeated by Lu Bu and Wei Yan at the foot of Xiangyi City. The Huainan generals were either dead or captured, and almost the entire army was defeated.
It was destroyed. Lieutenants Chen Lan and Qiao Rui were both killed on the battlefield. Liu Xun managed to break through, but was seriously injured and became a cripple. On the contrary, Liu Ye, a civil servant, escaped and survived.
Liu Ye was able to escape not because of his sudden explosion, but because of the protection of these two people. It goes without saying that these two people were brave enough to escape while protecting a burdensome person in such a dangerous situation.
Cao Cao always knew how to make good use of people, and did not dislike the bravery and lack of strategy of the second general, and directly appointed him as Le Jin's deputy general. Now Le Jin was seriously injured, Qi Ji died in the battle, and Qin Yi was left alone with a mountain of heavily armored infantry.
The array was about to collapse before our very eyes.
The news of Shi Huan's death in battle made matters worse.
Shi Huan's military position was that of a lieutenant in the Chinese Army. He was Cao Cao's confidant and a very capable general. Originally, his position was on the fourth line of defense of the Chinese Army, but Cao Cao heard that Le Jin was seriously injured and wanted to send him reinforcements.
At the same time, he replaced Yue Zheng to exercise command, but his luck was so bad that he ran into Qingzhou's main team and died under Wang Yu's hand.
The resistance in the front line has not been completely eliminated, but the decline of Cao's army is obvious. The staff can neither come up with any clever ideas to turn the tide, nor can they fight in battle. They can do nothing but tremble and can only watch helplessly.
He looked at his lord, hoping that he would come up with an idea.
But Cao Cao seemed to be unable to come up with a good idea. He just looked at the battlefield with a livid face, waving the battle flag vigorously like a madman: "Stick up, the spearmen stick up!"
The experience gained from leading the army for many years told him that this battle has reached a critical moment. The opponent's long-established speed is losing, and the combat effectiveness of cavalry without speed is not much higher than that of infantry. He has not been defeated yet, and he still has a chance to create a miracle.
With this belief, he used his command flag to drive forward one team after another, trying to block the advance of the cavalry with the human sea tactic.
The rolling crowd surged up and collided head-on with the red tide, but they could not stop the strong momentum of the red tide. They suddenly shrank back, but soon opened up violently, like an epiphyllum that had been silent for hundreds of years.
, instantly in full bloom.
After all, it is a strong army that has experienced hundreds of battles. Even if it cannot stop the fierce enemy for a while, it will not be intimidated by this fierceness.
The spear with the white wax as the pole and the black iron as the edge spread out in all directions, stabbing at the person who stood in front of him. Regardless of whether it could pierce the blood-red armor, he turned a blind eye to the five-foot green blade flashing in front of him.
The swordsman and shieldman, who only had a piece of leather armor on his body, rushed forward along the bloody path opened by the spearman, pushed down the robes in front of him, and rushed towards the enemy. It's not like they didn't know that they were not equipped with men and horses, and their offense and defense were far behind them.
They were no match for the cavalry opponents above them, but they still moved forward bravely.
Because they are also the strongest soldiers in the world and have their own pride!
Their combat prowess is very different from that of their opponent, and life and death can be determined by almost one move.
But the first fell, the second rushed up, the second fell, the third, and the fourth rushed forward without hesitation. If the weapon was broken, they would hold it with their hands and bite it with their teeth. If they could not touch the rider, they would hold it.
Horse legs! Fight with all your strength until the rider on the horse is exhausted, until the enemy is torn off the horse, until they are both corpses and mixed with dust.
The red blood soaked the yellow earth, even the blue sky was stained with a layer of blood, and the luster of the cavalry became more and more vivid. However, under the successive blockades of Cao's army, the speed of the cavalry assault finally slowed down.
After Qu Yi's defeat, this was the first time Wang Yu encountered such a powerful opponent and was actually entangled.
"Beat the drum, beat the drum to urge the battle!" Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief and repeated the previous order again.
"Dong dong dong..." Crazy war drums sounded from Cao Cao's central army. Accompanied by the drum beats, the infantry formation expanded faster and more urgently, like water waves struck by stones, continuous, soft, but difficult to stop, slowly
Seeped into the red tide.
To be honest, Cao Cao's command was not brilliant, but his staff looked at him with full reverence. No one could use the human sea tactic. If it were replaced by a ragtag group, reinforcements might not be possible.
Getting involved with the former army only messed up their own position.
"The scene looks a little better, but the casualties are too great. To kill one cavalry requires at least ten lives!"
"Zhongde is rightly worried. The remaining soldiers of the mountain formation are still fighting hard. If they are completely defeated, the light armored soldiers behind may..."
Unable to help and unable to retreat, the staff who had taken a breath finally regained some energy and began to discuss the war situation among themselves. Although they saw hope of reversal, most people still could not get over their pessimism.
Get rid of it, even celebrities like Liu Ye and Cheng Yu are no exception.
Although the momentum of the cavalry has slowed down, it is still moving forward as a whole. Cao Cao's infantry is completely filling it with life. Although Cao Cao has trained well and the troops have suffered such heavy casualties, they can still maintain their fighting spirit, but who can
Can you guarantee that the soldiers will persevere to the end?
"Everyone, take a closer look. Not only is the enemy's momentum slowing down, their room for maneuver is also decreasing!" Guo Jia, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "The strength of the cavalry is ultimately based on fighting in array.
On the basis of that, now, their speed is slowing down, and our infantry is surrounding them one by one!"
Guo Jia's words hit the mark. The staff thought about it carefully and nodded one after another, thinking it made sense. Only Cheng Yu, who had always been unconvinced by Guo Jia, questioned: "It's strange to say that Wang Yu is not a person who doesn't know how to use soldiers."
, at this time, it’s enough to back off a little and speed up again.”
"It's not surprising." Guo Jia shook his head and pointed to the two wings of the Yanxing Formation: "When the cavalry gallops, the damage caused by bows and arrows to them is limited. With their speed, they can avoid more than 80% of the attacks, and the rest rely on their armor to resist.
Enough. Now, their speed has slowed down, and the lethality of the arrows is increasing! Because of this, Wang Yu suddenly divided his troops."
"So that's it." Everyone was stunned, and there was an excited look on their faces again, and they looked towards the two wings. No wonder the lord has not changed the order. It turns out there is this layer of calculation.
At this moment, loud cheers suddenly sounded from the city wall behind them. The staff looked back in surprise and joy, and saw that the big flag erected on the north city tower was slowly falling!
"Finally captured Lu Bu?" Dong Zhao's voice trembled violently, this time not out of fear, but out of surprise.
"Lu Bu takes the lead, Qingzhou's fine cavalry has exhausted its momentum, this battle..." Liu Ye suddenly became excited, his eyes flashed brightly, and he looked like he was about to lose control of his emotions.
"If we can win this battle, we will turn the world around! How much better than Gaozu's defeat of Xiang Ji in Gaixia!" Cheng Yu couldn't help laughing out loud: "Ha, ha, ha, it's destiny.
, this is where destiny belongs!”
Lu Bu's remnant troops contained tens of thousands of Cao's troops, and they were all elite troops. Xiahou Dun was the leader of Cao Cao's generals, and Dian Wei and Xu Chu led Cao Cao's guards. In addition, the martial arts of these three people were among the generals of Cao's army.
Among them, Lu Bu's remnant army played a great role in containing the enemy.
Now that the momentum of the Qingzhou Iron Cavalry has been gradually curbed, if some troops are mobilized from the city, there is still great hope of turning defeat into victory.
The staff cheered a few times and rushed to Cao Cao, ready to share the joy with their lord. But when they got closer, they discovered that Cao Cao's brows were still tightly knitted, and he looked even more nervous than when he heard the bad news from the front line.
.
"Lord..." They wanted to ask but didn't dare, and stopped hesitantly.
"Rumble...Rumble...Rumble..." At this moment, the war drums were beating in the Qingzhou army formation. The sound of the drums was short and exciting, powerful and high-spirited. It was first like the roar of a beast before it pounces, and then like the sudden burst of a mountain torrent.
.
Hearing the sound of the drums, Cao Cao, who was commanding the troops to expand the victory, suddenly froze as if he had been stung by a bee. Then he turned his back to the sky and shouted loudly, "The cavalry is back, both wings, come back quickly..."
"Come back, stop them, come back..." Cao Cao shouted at the top of his lungs, and the messengers had no time to run around anymore, and shouted directly at the center of the army at the top of their lungs.
Trouble is coming, they have smelled the smell of death!
Danger arises from both wings, and it is the enemy's light cavalry that is in charge!
Under the command of Zhao Yun, this cavalry took the characteristics of gathering and dispersing freely to the extreme. Previously, it turned and reversed, and it looked like it was about to attack the leopard cavalry behind it. At this moment, it was like a hidden dragon coming out of the abyss. It was swift and flexible, and it was so impressive.
He turned again at an incredible speed, bypassed the car formations on both sides, and attacked from the side. Looking at the momentum, he was about to seal his throat with a sword!
This is the real killer move of the enemy. The previous central breakthrough and cavalry stepping on the formation turned out to be just a cover-up to attack the east and the west. The enemy general is too cunning, more cunning than a fox and more vicious than a poisonous snake.
Without Cao Cao's orders, the crossbowmen on both wings turned around together and tried their best to shoot as many arrows as possible to the side. He had seen through the enemy's plan, but unfortunately he was still a little slow...
The hastily shot arrows could not be said to be accurate at all. Most of the arrows missed the very close target, and a few of them hit, but the force was obviously not enough to cause fatal damage.
The sudden turn of the Qingqi was like a gust of wind, hitting the already somewhat scattered military formations on both wings, smashing them to pieces! (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
