Chapter 220: Mighty! Riding Battalion
Although Zhuge Jin's death will not make the Wu army chaotic and completely collapse, it is impossible to say that it will not be affected at all, after all, Zhuge Jin is the largest number of people in the Wu army's four-way army, and his sudden death will still have many problems with the command of this way.
Therefore, before the Wu army re-establishes the commander of this army, the command of the Wu army will inevitably be paralyzed for a short time, and the dragons will not be leaderless, so naturally they will not cause any more harm to the Wei army that has broken through, and it will definitely be safer to stay here in a short time.
Moreover, this is the agreed meeting place of the Wei army, and all the troops after the breakout, if there are no accidents, will rush here to rendezvous.
Xiahou Xuan was seriously injured and could not take care of things, so the affairs of the army were temporarily handled by Ren Ran and Cao Liang, who commanded the remnants of the men and horses to rest in place, eat some dry food, and replenish and restore their strength.
After waiting for about an hour, sure enough, the Wei army after the breakthrough arrived here one after another, each team was as little as thirty or fifty people, and as many as four or five hundred people, all of whom were wounded and exhausted.
It is already lucky to be able to break out of the enemy's encirclement, compared to those comrades who died on the way to break through, a little injury and pain are nothing, here, life is the most precious.
Although the number of people in each team is not large, there are dozens and hundreds of people gathered, and there are thousands of people, which undoubtedly makes Xiahou Xuan feel gratified, at least the whole army was not wiped out, and in the end, there were still many teams that stood out.
But the more people returned, Cao Liang's face became worse, because in this group of people, Cao Liang never found the figure of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, let alone the generals of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, Wen Qin, Xian Hong, Liu Jing, and even the ordinary soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, Cao Liang did not see a single one.
Could it be that they were really wiped out?
Cao Liang's heart, a sense of foreboding, although the combat effectiveness of the Xiao cavalry battalion is strong, but in the dark night is greatly discounted, due to the big movement of the Xiao cavalry battalion, it will definitely be surrounded and suppressed by the main force of the Wu army, two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, the possibility of the defeat of the Xiao cavalry battalion is great.
This is the last thing Cao Liang wants to see, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is the treasure of their Cao family's father and son, and it is the vanguard weapon that Cao Liang will rely on to deal with the Sima family in the future, if the whole division is lost in the battle of Huainan, then Cao Liang's loss will be really huge.
Seeing that the shadow of the day was getting shorter, but there was never a person and a horse in the Xiao Riding Camp, Cao Liang sat on pins and needles, worried.
Yanghu saw Cao Liang's brows furrowed and stepped forward and said, "Now that we have escaped from danger, why is Brother Ziming still worried and worried?" ”
Cao Liang sighed and said, "I haven't seen a single person in the Xiao Cavalry Camp until now, and I don't know if they have suffered an accident?" ”
Yang Hu said: "The combat power of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is unparalleled in the world, with the strength of the Wu army, it is difficult to stop them, maybe they have something to delay, anyway, I don't believe that they will be wiped out." ”
Just as they were talking, they heard rumbling thunder in the northwest, and everyone wondered, how could there be thunder in such a staring sky? Could it be that the way of the world has really changed?
In confusion, there was a sharp sound of horses' hooves in the northwest, and yellow dust and smoke were faintly visible.
Cao Liang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, the Wu army did not have a formed cavalry, and the Wei army was the only one, so when so many cavalry appeared, Cao Liang was already sure that it was a cavalry battalion.
Looking at the situation, the losses of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion are probably not too big, but now Cao Liang is not worried about how much he loses, the key is that Wen Qin and Deng Ai Shibao are safe and sound.
Soon, the cavalry battalion appeared in front of Cao Liang, and Cao Liang found that there were not only cavalry in the team, but also a large number of infantry, and the number of men and horses was spectacular.
Wen Qin, Lian Hong, and Liu Jing were all in the army, and the three of them came to the front, first met Xiahou Xuan, and then came to Cao Liang's side.
Cao Liang was already with Deng Ai Shibud at the moment, and Cao Liang couldn't wait to inquire about the battle situation and losses of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion.
Deng Ai stammered when he spoke, and basically Shi Bao told him.
Different from Cao Liang's imagination, the Xiaocai Battalion did not suffer a lot of losses in this battle, and more than 3,000 people lost more than 100 horses, which is simply a miracle.
"How is it possible, you fought all night, why did you only lose a hundred and ten people?" Cao Liang asked in surprise.
Shi Bao said: "The Xiaoqi camp is unstoppable, if it weren't for the fact that it was dark and the road was difficult, these hundred or so people would have lost a lot." ”
In the conversation with Shi Bao Deng Ai, Cao Liang had a general understanding of the battle situation of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion last night.
Like other troops, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is also responsible for breaking through the encirclement, but after the battle began, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion was invincible all the way, even if there were not many people in the Wu Army's front and rear circles and interceptions, but it could not pose a substantial threat to the Xiao Cavalry Battalion at all.
This is indeed a miracle, the iron cavalry torrent of the Xiao cavalry battalion almost made the Wu army's defense line as if it were nothing, the Xiao cavalry battalion along the main road, rampage, the Wu army tried to intercept the team to a scattered, all the way is to kill countless people, less than half of the night, the Xiao cavalry battalion rushed out of the Wu army's encirclement.
Originally, the Wu army thought that the darkness could cause some trouble to the Wei cavalry, but in fact, the Xiao cavalry battalion was almost not greatly affected, but the Wu army, because of the darkness, the archers played poorly, and they couldn't even find the target, and the long-range attack was greatly reduced.
After Wen Qin broke through the encirclement, he found that the other troops did not break through at all, especially the figure of Xiahou Xuan, the general of Zhengnan, and Cao Liang, who joined the army, so Wen Qin gave an order, and the Xiao cavalry battalion turned back, looking for the whereabouts of Xiahou Xuan and Cao Liang all the way.
But the battlefield was huge, and it was dark night, and the Xiaocai battalion searched all the way, but failed to meet Xiahou Xuan and Cao Liang, but instead helped many Wei troops who were besieged by the Wu army and brought them out of the encirclement of the Wu army.
Although the Wu army has a large number of people, but it is surrounded on all sides, the strength is limited, and the Xiao cavalry battalion itself is a sharp knife, which can easily tear apart the enemy's formation, so the Xiao cavalry battalion galloped back and forth, overnight, it actually killed three in and three out, and killed the back, the Wu army actually took the initiative to avoid, and did not dare to compete with it anymore, this night, the Wu soldiers who died under the hooves of the Xiao cavalry camp were too many to count.
The Wei infantry that was successfully picked up by the Xiao cavalry battalion out of the encirclement was as high as seven or eight thousand people, because of the existence of the Xiao cavalry battalion, these armies that originally needed to break through bloody battles or even difficult to break through were able to retreat with a slight loss.
