Chapter 321: The Powerful Zhang Liao
After breaking the city, Xiahou Yuan roared, "After entering the city, except for Liu Bei's people, kill them at will!" ”
"Whoa!"
The 2,000 cavalry of the Cao army swarmed in, and Xiahou Yuan adhered to the spirit of taking the lead and was the first to enter the city.
Suddenly, a puff of wolf smoke rose from the city, and many soldiers and horses were killed in the surrounding houses, occupying the position advantage, attacking the cavalry entering the city.
In less than half a pillar of incense, more than five hundred results have been achieved.
Xiahou Yuan knew the plan, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers and horses to withdraw from the city, and after he personally broke it, he held a two-stone strong bow and shot more than ten arrows in a row like an inhuman, stopping the ambush soldiers in the city.
What's even more exaggerated, he knew that it was impossible for him to shoot more than twenty arrows without stopping with his arm strength. Every time he took his bow, he drew three arrows and shot more than ten times in a row, and he hit no less than thirty enemies!
With such terrifying skills, and the generals who took the lead and sacrificed themselves, of course, these county soldiers in the city could not trap the cavalry of the Cao army.
However, the cavalry who had left the city were sent back to the city!
Zhang Liao led 800 heavy cavalry to wait for a long time ten miles outside the city, and when they saw the wolf smoke rising, they knew that the plan had been accomplished, so they could kill the city gate and prepare to close the gate and fight the dogs.
By the time they arrived, Cao's army had 2,000 cavalry out of the city, twice as many as them.
At this time, both the left and right were afraid, and asked if they wanted General Gao Shun to support some men and then attack these Cao troops.
Zhang Liao first looked up to the sky and roared, making the whole army tremble. Then he didn't shout in a hurry, but scanned everyone with a heroic, sharp gravel gaze.
After glancing at it, he roared again, "Although the enemy is brave and numerous, we are the real men of heaven and earth!" ”
He ordered the cavalry to form themselves in a neat formation and use the tactics of charging at full speed!
The soldiers are even more shocked, this kind of play is to die and be born!
The cavalry of this era did not yet have stirrups and Takahashi saddles, and the high-speed impact was extremely dangerous. Moreover, they fight more with less, charge the cavalry with cavalry, and under the impact, people will definitely fly out.
However, Zhang Liao's eyes were resolute, and all the soldiers were infected by his heroic aura, and they all accelerated towards the Cao cavalry without hesitation.
"Roar!"
Zhang Liao's 800 heavy cavalry collided with Cao's cavalry like a sharp knife, and a group of soldiers on both sides flew out upside down, trampled by the hooves of the horses behind.
However, the wolf rider in Bingzhou went crazy, and everyone stabbed the weapons in their hands at Cao Jun with all their might. Due to the inertia of speed, each force is so fast that it is difficult to dodge, and it is so fierce that it is unstoppable.
The Cao army was only in a static state, being hit like a target, and their counterattack relied entirely on their own strength. They had already galloped hundreds of miles, and they had experienced another defeat, and they had not killed many well-equipped and well-equipped state troops with weapons at all.
Those who attacked too fiercely and penetrated deep into the enemy group at once were besieged from front to back, left and right, and were either killed or wounded. However, as long as they still have a breath, they will wield their weapons and slash wildly regardless of their own safety.
In this way, Cao's army lost more than 400 people, and Lu Bu's army killed more than 100 people, but more than half of them were wounded.
Cao's army, exhausted, was beaten by Zhang Liao's assault and scattered, and most of them fled back to the city.
Zhang Liao didn't give them a chance to breathe, and immediately blocked the way out, and strangled the remnants of Xiahou Yuan with the county soldiers in the city.
Xiahou Yuan saw that it was Zhang Liao, and said angrily, "You kid came just in time, fight to the death!" ”
Zhang Liao said angrily: "Phew! It's your life or death! ”
These two people, one of them has just opened two strong bows more than ten times in a row, and their arms are already a little out of strength. The other was covered in blood, and his shoulders, thighs, and back were torn, and he didn't know how many wounds there were.
The two of them were at the small city gate of Xiaopei, and they took out all their efforts and fought viciously.
However, the ambush soldiers in the city did not stop, and continued to attack and kill the trapped Cao army, and it was estimated that at most half an hour, Xiahou Yuan's troops would be wiped out.
Seeing that Cao Bing was fighting fewer and fewer, Xiahou Yuan was anxious, and for a while he couldn't defeat Zhang Liao, and seeing that he was about to be defeated, he became more and more impatient, and even roared like a beast one after another.
Gao Shun and Cao Xing listed a dignified array here, and fought against Xiahoudun, Yu Ban, and Lu Qian.
Although Xiahoudun had a large number of troops, because he transferred more than 3,000 cavalry to Xiahou Yuan, his mobile strength was limited, so he simply let Lu Qian's troops and the 500 cavalry around him press the formation in the rear, and let Yu Ban's troops and the Tuntian army attack head-on.
Yu Ban was the most prestigious general with a foreign surname in Cao Ying at this time, and he fought with both strength and softness, and at this time he gradually broke through the flank of Lu Bu's army, forcing Gao Shun to replenish the trap camp of 300 people.
Gao Shun looked at the anxious situation and couldn't help but care a little about Xiao Pei's side. As long as the ambush over there is successful, the battle is a foregone conclusion.
Xiahoudun also looked at Xiao Pei's side from time to time, he was more anxious than Gao Shun, because there were obviously about a thousand less cavalry on the opposite side, and Zhang Liao, who could tie with him, was not there!
Twenty miles away, a cloud of wolf smoke attracted the attention of the two.
After Gao Shun saw it, he knew that the general trend had been decided. After Xia Houdun saw it, he became more and more nervous.
After a while, the cavalry of Cao's army rushed to report that the cavalry entering the city had been ambushed. However, after General Xiahou Yuan personally broke off, most of his troops had already withdrawn from Xiaopei.
Xiahoudun sat on the overall situation and saw more widely, and he hurriedly asked, "Have you seen Zhang Liao and the more than a thousand cavalry around him?" ”
The herald thought of this question and replied in a panic, "I didn't see it!" Most of the ambushes in the city were infantry, and Zhang Liao didn't show up! ”
"Ahhh
Xiahoudun roared anxiously, although Xiahou Yuan was his brother, the two of them were like brothers. At this time, the cavalry raided by Xiahou Yuan obviously fell into a trap.
He immediately led the five hundred cavalry around him to Xiaopei, and let Lu Qian's troops also set off. The front is handed over to Yu Ban, just to be undefeated.
Xiahoudun was galloping, and when he arrived at Xiaopei, there were still more than 500 people in Xiahouyuan who were trapped in the city and struggling to support themselves.
However, in order to avoid meeting Hades immediately, they had already dismounted and fought on foot, huddled together as much as possible, and delayed time.
Xiahou was not verbose, and directly attacked Zhang Liao's cavalry outside the city. Similar to Zhang Liao's impact just now, he also attacked desperately, instantly repelling Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses from the city gate.
When Xiahou Yuan heard his brother's movements, he became more and more desperate. The two brothers worked together, energetic and brave, and finally repelled Zhang Liao, allowing the remaining more than 100 people in the city to escape.
Just in time, Lu Qian's troops arrived, and they immediately retreated after being wounded. Xiahoudun also knew that the main cavalry had been lost in this battle, and it was another defeat, and it seemed that this mission could not be accomplished.
"Woo!"
The sound of the horn sounded, Gao Shun actually led the state army to kill back, Zhang Liao heard the horn, and also gathered the county soldiers in the city to go out of the city to line up, not planning to let Xiahoudun and others leave easily.
Xiahoudun was furious and shouted, "Do you really think that my Cao army can't fight more with less?!" ”
After speaking, he led five hundred cavalry to charge straight to Gao Shunzhong's army. The main force of Gao Shun's soldiers and horses was entangled by Yu Banbu and the Tuntian army, and it was Gao Shun and a group of county soldiers who killed Xiaopei back.
