Chapter 0822 - Broken Wrist

If the foot soldiers want to block the onslaught of the cavalry, there are actually many ways.

Standing up to resist horses, digging trenches, trapping horses, deploying dense spear formations, etc., are all good ways to deal with cavalry.

But there is a premise for this, and that is that you must prepare in advance.

What's more, the role of heavy cavalry is also very simple, that is, frontal charge, and the terrain requirements are relatively high.

As long as you can slow them down, then the power will be greatly reduced.

Light riders can also fight with knives when slowing down or stopping, but once these heavy riders stop, they are a live target.

It's a pity that Cao Zhen, in order to be able to deploy his superior forces, forced Feng Yong to the largest flat land in Anding County to fight a decisive battle.

At the same time, in order to facilitate the attack on the camp, people have also bulldozed all the trenches and horses that the Han army had set up before.

Coupled with the fact that he was on the attacking side from the beginning, how could he be in the mood to prepare too many trenches and barriers to resist horses?

Now it seems that it was all about preparing for the heavy cavalry charge of the Han army.

So when Cao Zhen heard the ghost crying wolf howling and shouting that the ghost rode into battle and the front army was in chaos, he was suddenly crazy.

What the hell rides?

What ex-army is in turmoil?

Wasn't the front camp of the Han army already defeated?

Then he felt the ground shake.

"Cavalry? Who sent out the cavalry? ”

Cao Zhen has led the army for many years, so he can naturally judge that this is a large number of cavalry running.

He slammed open the camp, and what caught his eye was the red torrent led by Zhao Guang.

Han belongs to fire virtue and advocates red.

Cao Zhen was shocked when he saw this red, and couldn't help blurting out: "How did Shu Yu end up here?" ”

"Ghost Rider, that's the Ghost Rider summoned by Feng Thief, Feng Thief, Feng Thief can do witchcraft......"

The guard who reported the news came out after him, and said in a trembling voice.

"Ghost you mother!"

Cao Zhen kicked the guard away and scolded, "The old man has been fighting for decades and has killed countless people, but I have never seen anyone with such a ghost and god technique!" ”

If there is really a ghost and god technique in this world, then Zhang Jiao will not die back then, and it is even more impossible for the Yellow Turban Thief to be extinguished.

The red torrent was getting closer and closer, and Cao Zhen could even see a touch of white in the torrent, which should be their main general.

The soldiers who stood in front of them were knocked away by them, the mules and horses that had not had time to run away were knocked down by him, and the tents were knocked over by them.

Everything that stood in their way was knocked away, and what could not fly was trampled to a mess.

Soldiers shot arrows at them from a distance, but no matter where they landed, they were mercilessly bounced away.

……

Seeing all this in front of him, Cao Zhen instantly understood why this Shu captives appeared here.

"Da Sima, the ghost rider is rushing over, hurry up!"

A guard came and tried to help him out.

"What a walk! I don't believe he can get here! ”

Cao Zhen shook off the guards, stared at the armored horse with his eyes, his face was full of disbelief, and he muttered in his mouth:

"Impossible, in this world, how can there be a cavalry army that is more powerful than the tiger and leopard horse?"

In the Battle of Nanpi that year, Cao Cao fought with Yuan Tan outside the city, and the casualties of the soldiers were too great and he wanted to truce his troops.

It was Cao Chun who persuaded him, and finally threw himself into the tiger and leopard cavalry to attack it, which beheaded Yuan Tan.

There is also the Battle of Weinan, Cao Cao also invested in the tiger and leopard cavalry at the most critical time, which broke the Xiliang iron cavalry.

On top of that, Cao Zhen himself had commanded the most elite cavalry of the Wei State.

So he could see at a glance that this Shu cavalry army was definitely a kind of tiger and leopard riding, no, it was more ferocious than the tiger and leopard riding!

Even if it were the Haw Par Rider of the year, it would not be possible to rush all the way here from the front.

Of course, if he knew that Feng Thief still had such a strange army hidden in his hands, he would not have been able to let the front and rear armies alternate as easily as he did now, and attack the camp in a hurry.

The armor rode closer and closer, and Cao Zhen could even see the hideous ghost mask on the face of the leading Shu thief.

"Da Sima, get out of here!"

The guards pleaded bitterly.

"It's impossible for Shu Yu to rush here!"

Cao Zhentie's face was blue, and his eyes were still staring at the armor rider without blinking for an instant.

Zhao Guang had already seen the Cao Junshuai camp under the banner, and even saw Cao Zhen standing there wearing a bright armor.

It wasn't that he didn't want to rush over, but there was not only a slightly higher ground ahead, but also a trench to block it.

It seems that although Cao Zhen fell into the calculations of his brother and sister, his handsome camp was still arranged strictly according to the standards of the camp after all.

Zhao Guang felt a little regretful in his heart.

Because before leaving, my brother told me that when I rushed into the Cao thief array, I must not slow down, let alone stay for a moment.

Of course, this is not the main reason.

The main reason is that his brother threatened him, if he dares to stay, even if he wins this battle, he will be punished when he returns, let alone want to lead the army in the future.

The heavens and the earth are big, the father is big, the mother is big, and the brother is just as big.

How dare Zhao Guang not listen?

Just looking at the person who was very likely to be Cao Zhen standing in front of him like this, he was extremely unwilling in his heart.

He handed the spear in his hand to the guards who were guarding him, then took off his longbow and drew arrows at it.

When the armor cavalry rushed over, the guards around Cao Zhen had already raised the big oar, and Zhao Guang naturally couldn't shoot Cao Zhen.

Cao Zhen only heard the sound of breaking through the air above his head, and then there was a "chopping" sound!

He hurriedly turned his head to look, but saw that there was an extra long arrow on the flagpole of the handsome flag behind him.

"Is there such a character among the Shu captives?"

Seeing that the other party could still have such archery skills when his galloping speed was not reduced and he was wearing heavy armor, Cao Zhen couldn't help but be shocked.

When he turned his head again, the leading Shu generals had already galloped away.

With a red torrent behind him, he rampaged through his own army camp.

Cao Zhen seemed to think of something, and hurriedly climbed up to the high platform in the handsome camp, and looked in the direction of the Shulu camp.

Sure enough, the camp ahead was in chaos, and he could even see the red-armored cavalry clash back and forth.

After seeing the terrifying ironclad cavalry again, there was a mess outside the handsome camp, and Cao Zhen's face finally turned pale.

In the past, when he commanded the tiger and leopard cavalry, he always found fighters, first broke through the enemy formation with the tiger and leopard cavalry, then supplemented by light cavalry or assault cavalry to expand the gap, and finally used infantry to cover the killing.

This kind of tactics is like a stormy wave, wave after wave, and there is really no way out.

Remembering that he was only thinking about taking down the Feng thief as soon as possible, and there was not even a fence in the camp in front of him, Cao Zhen only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he was about to fall down when he leaned back.

"Da Sima!"

Fortunately, the guards were quick and quickly supported him from behind.

Cao Zhen fell into the arms of his guard, only to feel that his heart was like ashes.

Thinking of these days, Feng Thief first showed himself to be strong, and then showed himself to be weak, and even the soldiers under his command suffered heavy casualties, so he did not dispatch this cavalry.

Just to paralyze himself and expose his flaws, Cao Zhen couldn't help but let out a long sigh of sadness, sighing with desolation:

"Ruthless little Wenhe, ruthless little Wenhe!"

is not only ruthless to others, but also more ruthless to himself, no wonder he is ruthless Xiaowenhe!

"Da Sima, how is it now?"

The guard asked with trepidation.

"Let's see Guo Huai, Qin Lang and others return."

Cao Zhen barely stood firm and looked ahead again, still hoping for what to happen.

The terrain before Xiaoguan is relatively flat compared to other places in Anding, because several rivers flowing down from Longshan Mountain converge here, forming a semi-alluvial plain.

Cao Zhen led the troops here ahead of Feng Yong, so he naturally took advantage of the favorable terrain in advance.

For example, according to the high camp, according to the water.

Feng Thief sent surprise soldiers to break through the gap, which was not the most terrifying.

The most terrible thing is that Guo Huai and others in the front could not collect the soldiers in time, which led to the Shu captives forcing the soldiers to roll back, resulting in the consequences of trampling on themselves in the army.

The so-called defeat is like a mountain, nothing more than that.

Therefore, as long as Guo Huai and the others can retreat in time, they will return to the original old camp, or even retreat to the other side of a certain stream.

As long as you can temporarily avoid that kind of ironclad cavalry, breathe a sigh of relief, and leave two points of vitality for the Guanzhong army, it can already be regarded as the favor of heaven.

As for the tens of thousands of people who have pressed on me today......

Thinking of this, Cao Zhen's body began to sway again.

The chaos ahead became more and more obvious, and the look in Cao Zhen's eyes became more and more dim.

"Where is Da Sima? Have you ever been safe? ”

Just when Cao Zhen was almost unable to hold on, with an eager voice coming, a handsome young general rushed in without waiting for the personal guard to report.

Seeing that Cao Zhen was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief, hugged his fists and said: "The last general is rude......

When Cao Zhen saw the other party, he didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, and directly stepped forward to hold his hand: "General Qin!" You're finally here, ahead, what's going on ahead? ”

When Cao Zhen asked this, his hands were trembling slightly.

"Da Sima, I can't stand it! Feng Thief has now begun to send foot soldiers to cover up and kill, and now even the two wings have begun to be chaotic. ”

Qin Lang's face was full of anxiety, "The last general was originally guarding behind the left flank, how could the former generals not be recorded, and they fled one after another, and the Shu prisoners took the opportunity to cover up and kill in the back, and the last general ...... The last general ......"

When Qin Lang said this, he glanced at Cao Zhen again.

"The last general really can't stop it. At that time, seeing that there were Shu captives rushing straight to the camp of the Chinese army, the last general was worried about the safety of Da Sima, so he had to lead the men and horses of his headquarters and fight back. ”

When Cao Zhen heard it, it was like injecting a shot in the arm.

I saw that he was in good spirits, and hurriedly asked, "Is your department still complete?" ”

"Shang Quan."

"Yay!"

When Cao Zhen heard what Qin Lang said, it was really like a person who was about to drown and grabbed a life-saving straw.

"The former army is irretrievable, and the only way to do this now is to lead all the remaining horses, retreat to the old camp, block the Feng thief, and then retreat to Wangxian County, in order to plan for the future."

"Now that the army will be dispersed, the only person I can use around me is General Qin's ear."

On the side of Xiao Pass, Cao Zhen still had some men and horses to prevent the Han army in the pass from coming out to meet Feng Yong.

His current idea is to quickly let the soldiers guarding against Xiao Pass retreat south, as for the men and horses here, how much they can run depends on the will of heaven.

Qin Lang knew that the situation was urgent, if he couldn't hold the camp, he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to run away, so he hugged his fists: "Da Sima, please give orders!" ”

Cao Zhen won Qin Lang's department, and at that moment, taking advantage of the fact that the whole army had not yet been defeated, he gathered the battalion that could still obey the order, and retreated all the way.

treated the tens of thousands of people in front of him as meat shields and threw them all to Feng Wenhe.

Although Guan Ji saw the banner retreating, he knew that Cao Zhen had fled.

But there were too many Wei soldiers in front of her, and she had no way to divide her troops to pursue.

In addition, these days, the soldiers have been fighting hard day after day, the casualties are not small, and the troops are also insufficient, so they stomp their feet with hatred at the moment:

"If Yang Weiran is here, he will not let Cao Zhen run away!"

That's the great Sima of the Cao thief!

It is the first person below the Cao thief puppet emperor, if he can capture it, it should be an immortal achievement.

Yang Weiran is Yang Qian, he was Zhao Guang's deputy, commanding the rangers and Hu horses.

It's just that this time, he was left in Linjing, and he and Hu Zun were on the back road to protect a certain instigator.

On the contrary, Feng Junhou, who was standing beside Guan Ji, was stretching his neck to watch his soldiers drive the defeated Wei soldiers like sheep, and he was stunned when he heard this:

"Cao Zhen ran away?"

"Run, the flag moved back......"

"I'm Cao! Cao Thief's big Sima is actually this virtuous? Feng Junhou couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, "This front army hasn't been completely defeated, and he ran away from behind?" ”

When Guan Ji heard this person's words, he couldn't help but glance at him:

"Why don't you run and wait to be caught? In the current battle situation, even if Sun Wu is resurrected, there is nothing he can do. ”

As she spoke, she raised her binoculars again, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on her face: "Let's see how lucky he is!" ”

"What's wrong?"

Feng Yong hurriedly asked again.

"It's Erlang, Erlang led the armor to turn back, look in that direction, and just rushed diagonally towards Cao Zhen's banner."

When Feng Yong heard this, he tiptoed and stretched his neck, but he was not clairvoyant, and he didn't even see Cao Zhen's banner, where could he see which direction Zhao Guang was?

At that moment, he dared to look at his mother-in-law angrily: You should show me!

"Look, there's a thief ahead!"

In front, Zhao Guang led the armor horseman, and rushed all the way, and he didn't know how long he had been rushing, anyway, he didn't stop until he couldn't see Cao Thief.

He counted the armor riders who could still follow him, and in the end there were only more than a thousand people left.

After looking around, I didn't know what kind of place this was, so I ate two mouthfuls of sugar and grain, breathed a sigh of relief, and then followed the direction I came to find my way back.

I didn't know that I had not walked long before someone below pointed ahead and shouted.

Zhao Guang looked up and saw that there were a large number of Cao thieves and horses not far in front of him, retreating diagonally in another direction.

The two sides suddenly met, and they were all stunned.

Zhao Guang secretly complained: I only have more than 1,000 people now, and the horsepower is exhausted, I don't know how many people there are on the other side?

But he didn't know that when the Wei army saw this red ironclad cavalry army emerging from the diagonal inside, many people were weak in their legs at the moment!

"Da Sima, that group of centaurs seems to be the ghost who is rushing into battle today...... Shu Lu Iron Cavalry! ”

Qin Lang's throat was a little dry, and he said in a trembling voice.

"I know."

Cao Zhen also swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his forehead was sweating, and there was only one thought left in his heart: What should I do?

"General, what shall we do?"

Someone was also quietly asking Zhao Guang.

Zhao Guang looked at the big flag, a little puzzled: "Why do I think that big flag is a little familiar?" ”
